After Yuan Miao left, Minshu and other clan elders were left looking at each other in confusion.
They had never dared to think about leaving the envoy sent by the Zhu Yan tribe outside for ten days. Yuan Miao left in anger. For a small tribe, it was like the earth was shattering.
Since Min Zhuo's breakthrough, his prestige in the clan is unmatched and no one dares to question it. Moreover, Min Zhuo has revealed the truth to those close to him before, and there is also the support of mysterious forces behind them.
They just don't want to accept the mediation of their superiors. They are not directly opposing them. There is still room for change.
At this point, they had no way out and could only choose to believe in the clan leader and use these reasons to comfort themselves.
After a long time, everyone returned to the Holy Lake worriedly.
Minshu came to the ancestral hall in the center of the lake alone and said respectfully outside the hall: "Father, the envoy of the superior clan has left."
There was dead silence in the palace. Minshu waited for a while, but did not receive a response. He stopped talking and finally said: "Your Majesty left only one sentence when he left, so that we can take care of ourselves."
Inside the ancestral palace.
Min Zhuo did not practice cultivation. He sat cross-legged under the tablet of his ancestors, with the weak candlelight illuminating half of his face.
He stared at the ancestral tablet. This was a crucial choice for him and the entire Changyou clan. Once he lost, the Changyou clan might not be able to turn around for tens of thousands of years. Although the incense would not be cut off, it would be difficult for him to make a comeback.
Good ending.
This is a huge gamble. I wonder how my ancestors view this choice.
Making this choice was driven by his own heart. However, it was definitely not what he wanted. Unfortunately, it would be difficult to get off the pirate ship.
Some time ago, the mysterious existence sent some more orders. After knowing part of the inside story, Min Zhuo knew that he could not escape at all, so he immediately suppressed his other thoughts, but at the same time, he also had the confidence to contradict the Zhu Yan clan.
Min Shu's voice came in, but Min Zhuo turned a deaf ear.
In the quiet hall, the shadows on the ground swayed with the candlelight, as light as rootless duckweeds.
…
Yuan Miao left Shengmuyuan and returned directly to Yan Island.
Seeing Yuan Miao returning alone, Qin Sang and Si Lu could guess what was going on and stepped forward to greet him, "I wonder what the Minzhuo clan leader's attitude is?"
"snort!"
Yuan Miao looked unhappy, "I couldn't see him!"
Qin Sang and Si Lu were both very surprised that Yuan Miao was rejected by Min Zhuo. Is there some hidden secret?
Yuan Miao was still angry, "Don't talk about any misunderstanding! Min Zhuo is clearly unwilling to accept my mediation. As long as he makes it clear in person, I will not force him to do so, but it is annoying to use this method!"
Silu comforted him and said, "Xu Shiminzhuo thinks that rejecting fellow Taoist in person may not look good on his face, so it is better to just find a reason and avoid seeing him. But he has underestimated the broadmindedness of fellow Taoist."
Yuan Miao sighed: "It seems that the hatred between you cannot be resolved. The Changyou clan insists on going its own way, but with the ancient covenant in front of me, I can't really let it go, lest the tragedy of genocide happen..."
Qin Sang smiled bitterly and said: "This battle is probably not something that Qin can control. We have only a few experts and no external support, but Minzhuo has many helpers and is full of confidence. The enemy is attacking and we are defending. Qin only wants to do it for himself."
Save."
"Fellow Taoist must have had reservations before. With the strength of fellow Taoist, those who can defeat fellow daoist are all top experts. They live in seclusion and most of them are in retreat. The Changyou Clan should not be able to invite them to prepare for the trip to Qiaohai City.
.However, I didn’t expect that the Minzhuo clan chief could invite so many helpers and have such a wide circle of friends..."
Yuan Miao frowned, understanding that Qin Sang was the only one here and couldn't figure out the reason.
After thinking about it, Yuan Miao said goodbye: "I want to go to the Yonghe clan to meet with the leader of the Zizhen clan. We will see you later."
"Fellow Taoist, walk slowly."
Qin Sang and Si Lu cupped their hands to see each other off.
Yuan Miao is running around and may not be able to achieve good results, but by stirring up the muddy water, he can continue to delay time, which Qin Sang is happy to see.
After sending Yuan Miao away, Qin Sang fell into deep thought.
Minzhuo's attitude is worth pondering.
During the confrontation in Canglanghai, Minzhuo's words before leaving clearly meant to make peace, but now his attitude has changed drastically and he is so decisive.
What was the reason for the drastic change in attitude, and what changes happened to the Changyou clan during this period?
Changes can come from both external and internal sources.
If it's from the outside, Minzhuo may have found a stronger helper, or he may be forced by others, or there are other forces peeking into the storm world!
Qin Sang thought to himself that after entering the foggy sea, he acted cautiously and did not do anything out of the ordinary. The only variable around him was Silu.
According to common sense, Silu's identity should not be leaked so quickly.
The two companion beasts that were exposed before, the red-feathered demon bird, is called the Feathered Bird. Because this companion beast has excellent escape skills and is not weak in combat power, it is very versatile and very popular among the Siyou tribe.
The flamingo has a chance to transform into the flamingo. The difference is that Prince Siyou can get the purer flamingo essence and blood, while the common people get the essence and blood with mixed power. The companion beast is weak and has a small chance of transformation.
The white ferret is called the ethereal ferret. It is an extremely rare companion animal, but it is very similar to a common companion animal, the frost ferret, and even shares most of its magical powers.
The flamingo and the frost marten are one of the most common companion animal combinations of the Siyou tribe. Even if they are seen by others, they will not be directly connected to Silu.
Unless the Siyou Clan has already laid eyes on the Zhu Yan Clan, the appearance of an unknown Siyou Clan master at this time will definitely arouse the other party's vigilance.
Since Silu had a strange demon guard beside him, and Xia Changshi's whereabouts were unknown, they did not dare to act rashly, so they secretly sent the Changyou clan to conduct a test, which was reasonable.
But the strange thing is, if it was just for testing, why didn't the other party send a master here? With the strength of Min Zhuo, Zaizhen and the others, what details could they find out?
Facts have proved that they did not even see their Dharmakaya and fled in a hurry.
Qin Sang felt that something didn't make sense, so why should he look for the reason from Min Zhuo?
Perhaps, Min Zhuo never thought about making peace. The last time he saw that his side was powerful, he felt that he had no chance of winning. His words were just to stabilize himself.
To put it in perspective, if Qin Sang were Min Zhuo, as the only second-level Sky Realm expert in the tribe, the best thing to do now would be to stay still rather than move.
Together with Storm Realm Xu and Wei Snake, he stabilizes his cultivation, practices magical powers, silently strengthens his tribe, and unites vertically and horizontally. When Yuanqiaohai City comes to the market, the Holy Land opens, and he enters the Holy Land to look for opportunities.
The people in the Storm Realm are all foreigners, and they have no chance to enter the Holy Land. As one goes and the other goes up, the advantage of the Changyou Clan will become greater and greater.
The worst case scenario is to divide the Qing Ling Qi equally to appease the Storm Realm for the time being. Anyway, every time they fought for it before, the Changyou Clan could not monopolize it.
Having fought against the Storm Realm for nearly a thousand years, could it be that Min Zhuo's patience has been worn away and he is unwilling to wait any longer?
Also, Minzhuo was able to recruit so many strong men to help him in one go. In the past, he could easily destroy the Storm Realm by just inviting any one. However, he would rather let his clan suffer heavy casualties and not invite help even if he could not attack for a long time.
Is it simply because you don’t want Qing Ling’s energy to be exposed?
Qin Sang felt that things were not that simple.
When things go wrong, there must be monsters. The Changyou clan's series of unconventional actions caused Qin Sang to have many doubts in his heart.
What treasures are there in the Storm Realm that Min Zhuo wants to get at all costs?
Qin Sang thought of two things, one was the treasure from Ziwei Palace, and the other was the biggest opportunity after the Storm Realm ascended - Qingling Qi!
What is the source of Qing Ling Qi?
Qin Sang tried it, and when the tide was high, he felt dangerous there. After breaking through the middle stage of refining the void, he went back again, and the feeling was more obvious, and the danger came not only from the source of Qingling Qi, but also from the depths of the filthy land.
Threats coming from everywhere.
The dirty place is the river of evil.
Qin Sang knew that there were not only ferocious beasts in the combined stage in the Niehe River, but also countless dangers lurking there. Stirring up trouble there might alarm the terrifying existences in the Niehe River, which would be tantamount to seeking death.
You have to wait until the tide is low before you have a chance to go in.
In the past, when the filthy energy ebbs, the Storm Realm's combat power is only at the stage of divine transformation, and the Changyou Clan can stop them. This time it is different. There are several strong Void Refiners in the Storm Realm, and the Changyou Clan can no longer stop them.
Is this the reason why Minzhuo made such a desperate move?
Qin Sang narrowed his eyes slightly and vaguely grasped some clues, but there was no concrete evidence yet, so other aspects must be guarded against.
He must work hard to build the altar, and if the thunder altar is completed, he will have the confidence to remain unmoved regardless of the winds from east to west, north and south!
While Qin Sang was thinking, Silu stood aside quietly without disturbing him.
After coming back to his senses, Qin Sang said to Silu: "I can trouble you, fellow Taoist, to go to Canglanghai again, sit down at the altar, and urge them to build the altar as soon as possible."
"good!"
Si Lu took up the escape light and headed straight for the Canglang Sea.
Qin Sang returned to Qingyang Temple and made some arrangements. The Dharmakaya continued to sit in the main altar, while the deity and the Dharmaxiang went west to personally sit in the other sub-altar.
This sub-altar is prepared for the Suzaku. When the Suzaku breaks through, it will take over.
Suzaku is in seclusion again. There has been no news recently, but Qin Sang believes that when Suzaku comes out of seclusion next time, it will be the time to attack the void!
The West Earth Sub-Altar is located at the junction of the West Earth and the previous territory of the Demon Sea Monster Clan.
The Monster Sea Monster Clan and the Four Holy Palaces did not withdraw all their forces. Some tribes and sects chose to stay. Qin Sang dispersed them everywhere and was responsible for building the altar.
The location of this core altar was originally the forbidden area of the Four Holy Palaces and was located between a lake.
Qin Sang flew in and saw the sparkling waves below and lakes dotted here and there. After looking at them for a while, he realized that these lakes seemed to be able to move and change unpredictably.
The formation here was re-refined by Qin Sang. His figure flashed into the formation and landed on top of a lake.
Above the lake, there are crystal covered bridges and several pavilions, all of which are exquisite and elegant.
"Huh? Qin..."
Bao Xi walked out of an attic and happened to see Qin Sang. He subconsciously called out to fellow Taoist monks and hurriedly bowed, "Bao Xi, see the great master!"
"Why do Taoist friends need to be so polite? They have so many points for no reason," Qin Sang said with a smile.
Seeing that Qin Sang was still the same as before, Bao Xi couldn't help but feel relieved and said: "Master Huaiyin is looking after the Western Territory, and he also has to guard against enemies from the west. It's difficult to take care of both. My brother specially ordered me to stay and wait for my Taoist friends to send me."
The two discussed some matters, and Bao Xi remembered something and waved behind him.
"Shuang'er, Lu'er, why don't you come and pay homage to the great master?"
Two girls came out of the attic. They were twin girls, with pretty faces, shy and timid.
They looked like Bao Xi's maids, but they were not dressed like maids. They had their heads lowered and their little faces were full of nervousness. They walked up to Qin Sang in small steps, bowed to Wanfu, and said crisply.
"Juniors pay their respects to the great master."
Bao Xi said with a smile: "Speaking of which, Shuang'er, Lu'er and fellow Taoists have some connections. They are from Lingchun Island and have outstanding talents. I looked happy and discussed with their master to keep them by my side to help me."
Lingchun Island...
Qin Sang looked at the twin girls and couldn't help but feel a little dazed.
Lu'er was the younger sister and seemed more lively. When she didn't hear the response, she couldn't help but raise her head, glanced at Qin Sang secretly, and quickly lowered her head, her heart pounding nervously.
After a while, they finally heard Da Zhenren's inquiry.
"What skills do you practice?"
"Master Qi, our sisters practice the "Su Heart Sutra" which is the true biography of our master," Shuang'er replied respectfully.
Qin Sang hummed, "Bring me the exercises and let me have a look at them."
"this……"
Shuang'er hesitated and looked at Bao Xi.
"Silly girl, will the Great Master still covet your Kung Fu? If you hesitate for a moment longer, you will miss a huge opportunity," Bao Xi spat.
Shuang'er's pretty face turned red, and Lu'er couldn't wait any longer. She took out the jade slip and presented it respectfully, her eyes full of expectation.
Qin Sang scanned it briefly and saw that this technique was quite sophisticated, but it could only reach the late Nascent Soul stage, and this state was not yet perfect.
Bao Xi said: "My brother and I have tried to help them deduce several times. Due to our limited talents, I hope my fellow Taoists can correct me if I make any mistakes."
Qin Sang did his duty, pondered for a moment, and then put his spiritual consciousness into the jade slip.
He was very attentive this time. Starting from the Qi Refining Stage, he changed the exercises bit by bit. Under the shocked eyes of the three women, he quickly advanced the exercises to the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul Stage.
Shuang'er and Lu'er were dumbfounded. This was still a technique they were familiar with, but many details were completely different from what they remembered. It was precisely these changes that were the most tortuous and difficult parts of the enlightenment process in the past.
Even before they started practicing, the two women were sure that this technique had improved to more than one level.
"This method is enough for you to practice. When you have free time, Pindao will continue to deduce it and send someone to send it to your master."
Qin Sang took back his consciousness and returned the jade slip to the two women.
…
Lake bottom.
Qin Sang sat cross-legged above the core altar, silent and motionless.
The core sub-altar has not yet been completed, but it has already established contact with the main altar, and can sense every change in the sub-alterns under its control, and is aware of the progress of each sect's altar construction.
Building an altar is not an easy task. Even if the Qingyang Guanhui distributes spiritual materials, it will be a great test for the mental strength of the person who builds the altar. After a long time, it is inevitable that slack will appear.
In normal times, it would be harmless, but now it was intolerable to Qin Sang. He ordered Bao Xi to organize people to patrol the world and spread the word to all directions.
Under his close supervision, altars sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
Yuan Miao has not yet returned, and the Changyou tribe remains stationary. This is a rare peaceful time.
Just when the Storm Realm was busy preparing for the war, Qin Sang suddenly felt a touch. He opened his eyes and looked at his own Qi Sea, sensing the thoughts coming from the Tianmu Butterfly, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
