It was already the second day that Hou Zi got the news. Although they were real participants, they were just pawns. Whether they wanted to capture the flag or keep it was not up to their will.
He understood very well that this was a power struggle and could not be based on personal temperament.
The two of them found a pavilion in the middle of the lake, where they could relax and enjoy themselves. The pavilion was fully stocked with food, drinks, melons and fruits, which showed how wealthy the Anhe Taoist Sect was. This was also the pomp of the Taoist Sect. They always looked like this, unlike the Quanzhen Sect, who didn't care as much.
.
The wine is very good and the food is even better. It is truly a magical day to raise a glass and drink in the beautiful scenery of lakes and mountains.
"A place like this, where you don't want to leave once you're here, saps the energy of the monks and is the biggest enemy of our generation of sword cultivators. Junior Brother Hou, it's really the right time for you to come to Shan Guoquan. Otherwise, how can you cultivate in such an environment? Just
I wish I could hug you from left to right and enjoy life to the fullest, right?"
Hou Ting glared at him, "Senior brother, are you biased when you say that? Although life here is wonderful, it is also a test, and what a test it is for those who are truly Taoist? And the Anhe Taoist sect
There are quite a few people doing major cultivation, but I don’t see their Taoist mind waning.
And you, you said something bad here. You drank more wine than anyone else and ate several plates of meat! And I also saw that you secretly hid two jugs of wine!
Lifting a pot to drink wine, putting down chopsticks to scold my mother, are you talking about someone like you?"
King Luo Lin chuckled and continued to lower his chopsticks, "Your senior brother, I enjoy it with my mouth, but despise it in my heart. Well, hurry up. When the discussion starts tomorrow, I'm afraid I won't have such an opportunity again."
Hou Zi didn't care, "Why not? There is a lot of time. Twenty-five people guard one flag, and I don't know what the higher-ups think. Isn't this a waste of manpower?"
King Luo Lin said sternly, "Junior brother, don't underestimate the guard flag. On the surface, this discussion is a battle between the Thirteen Kingdoms, but in fact it is a battle between Wu Clan and Quanzhen! Just as we put our most important strength on where
Just like they captured the Wu clan's banner, they will definitely send their elites to capture our banner.
This is related to the ebb and flow of the momentum of both sides, and it is a must-win flag, so twenty-five people may not be enough."
When Hou Zi thought about it, it made sense. For the Quanzhen Sect, it was very important to win the opponent's four flags. Likewise, the significance of the Wumen's taking their big flag was also very important. It was a battle for military morale.
"There are twenty-five people. I don't know how long it will take if they come one by one?"
King Luo Lin shook his head, "We, Xiao Xiu, have limited endurance. If we try our best to win, half an hour is the limit. Besides, not everyone is willing to keep grinding. Forget it, I don't want to do that much. Junior brother must make preparations early. Those five
Senior Brother Yujing will each bring a follower to protect him, so be careful of being picked up."
Hou Ziyi said, "It has nothing to do with us, right? If you want to choose a follower, you have to choose from those who take the initiative to get close to you. Who would want someone like you and me who doesn't have much ability, a bad temper, a lot of shortcomings, and doesn't accept anyone?"
"
According to the arrangements of several uncles and masters, the five Yujing brothers will fight against the four banners of the Wu clan. If they are alone, they will be lonely and have no one to cooperate, so they are assigned a deputy each, and they can choose by themselves.
If two people attack, they can cooperate and not rely on one person to kill; Zhu Jiuling's arrangement actually prefers that the Yujing disciples are far stronger than the elites of the states, otherwise the power allocation will not be so biased.
In a one-on-one battle, personal strength determines almost everything.
Hou Zi got excited after drinking, "I'm afraid Wu Sect has mobilized all the elites this time. I have to defend four flags and attack at least three flags. If there are no flags, I have to arrange at least one or two people who can really carry the tripod." Only such people can withstand the counterattacks of the other nine companies. This task is not easy, and it also shows that they have seen an endless stream of talented people over the years. In the end, they have to defend the seven-pole flag. I don’t understand, where did they get so many top players?"
King Luo Lin chuckled, "Your information is not accurate. The latest news I got was just from Master Li. What Wu Clan wants this time is not a small victory with seven flags, but a victory with thirteen flags." Total victory!"
Hou Zi was surprised, "Who gave them the courage? Are they underestimating the heroes of the southwest?"
King Luo Lin looked very serious, "It is said to be the latest secret report from the Sikong Mansion. In order to prepare for this Southwest Dao Discussion, the Wu Sect wanted to suppress all the countries in the southwest, so through the Dao Sect's relationship, it sought support from the Dao Sect in the southeast region. As a result, several true disciples from the Southeast Taoist Sect joined the Wu Sect. This was the real reason why they dared to be so arrogant.
Being prepared rather than being unprepared, the result is that this time we are facing the Southwest Dao Gate, we are facing not just the Southwest Dao Sect, but the entire continent Dao Sect!"
Hou Zi was stunned when he heard this, "Isn't this a bit cheating?"
King Luo Lin smiled bitterly, "Strength is the last word. People can do this because the Taoist sect itself is so powerful in the Splendid Continent. Quanzhen also wants to do this, but after searching all over the continent, can he still find a second sword cultivator Taoism?"
Hou Zi realized something, "In other words, the expansion of Wu Sect is not an exception? It is the overall plan of Dao Sect in mainland China?"
King Luo Lin nodded, "That's what it means. Therefore, we have no retreat; this is not a problem of Anhe Taoist sect alone, but a problem of how to stop the ambitions of Taoist sects across the continent."
Hou Zi sighed, "It can't be stopped! Once this kind of thing starts, unless the head is bruised and bleeding, and other orthodox orders in the mainland suppress it with force, how can it be possible to retreat in distress?
We may stop it once at Anhe Daomen, but it is just an accident; we cannot stop the trend unless we go to full-scale war."
King Luo Lin was stunned. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything. Yes, what can these minor cultivators really do to stop the Southwest Taoism this time? At most, it would just delay the progress of the Taoist sect.
It may not be possible yet.
"Who are the real disciples of the Wu Clan? Which ones are the foreign aid from the southeast? Can you figure it out?"
King Luo Lin shook his head, "There is no news about this yet, so I can only take a look at it, but what's the difference? They all come from Taoism, have the same ideas, the same Taoism, and even similar techniques.
I just don’t know if the masters will continue with their original plan? Will they be more radical? Or will they choose to be conservative?"
Hou Zi smiled and asked, "Uncle Master Zhu, is he a fusion sect or a demon sect?"
King Luo Lin smiled bitterly, "How do I know about Master?"
"You'll know when the plan changes."
While the two were talking, a man walked over from a distance, it was Rao Zongzhi, one of Yujing's disciples.
"You two are really leisurely. I searched around Anhe Palace before I found you. So, if I invite you two to capture the flag with me, would you two junior brothers be willing?"
