Within Mianlu City, there is a hundred-story ring platform standing in the southeast corner. The spiritual light blooming on it complements the large ring hall in the north direction.
This is a created building that represents Xuanxiu's position in the city and symbolizes the covenant between the two parties. It is also the main place where Xuanxiu's disciples stay and practice.
Over the past twenty years, there have been not only Xuan Xiu from Tianxia but also many local disciples in the city, but most of them are limited to the area around Mianlu City.
In the affairs hall at the top of the ring, Yin Huanting was discussing matters with a group of Xuan cultivators. The people sitting with him now are all cultivators who have the same realm as him, and they have all cultivated to the original level.
, there are twenty-two people in total, and most of them have had the experience of fighting evil gods and Shangchentian in outer places.
Yin Huanting took out a letter and sent it down for everyone to read, and said: "Hu Zongzong just invited me over, saying that it was King Xi who ordered us to be drafted to the front line to participate in the battle."
After reading the letter, one of the monks below said: "Sooner or later King Xi will have his mind set on us. This is to be expected. We have more than twenty years of savings.
It’s a blessing.”
Yinhuan Ting snorted and said: "The reason why King Xi has waited so long for me is not out of kindness. It's because the city of Mianlu is barren and remote, far away from the essence of the place. In addition, it has been repeatedly harassed. He can defend himself well."
That's good, he has never thought of this place before, let alone look down upon the 'celestial beings' who don't even have upper-level power."
All the Xuan Xiu smiled. They did not mean to be looked down upon at all. Instead, they hoped that the more the other party looked down on them, the better. Tian Xia Xuan Xiu, or most Tian Xia people seemed to like to accumulate strength and then crush their opponents.
Rather than rushing out before gaining a firm foothold.
With the recovery of the disciples' cultivation, their strength is far from the same as it was twenty years ago. Although the number is not that of some sects, the middle-level monks are actually not inferior at all, and their fighting ability is stronger when they cooperate with Xuntian Daozhang.
The only thing lacking now is the strength of the upper level. If there are many people who can cross over to the realm of Xuanzun, then there is no need to look at King Xi's face.
This does not mean that they can confront the Hao tribe immediately, but King Xi will not risk losing too much to attack them.
Yin Huan Ting said: "The news came back from some colleagues that King Xi encountered setbacks in the front. In eight years, he failed to attack the 'Lingjiao City' six times, and if this road cannot be opened, there is no way to go east to the middle."
area."
He chuckled, "Even if King Xi passes here, there will be more newly built fortresses and cities waiting for him. The situation has been unable to be resolved for a long time, and there are many conflicts between the clans, so they have to go
Other places have found solutions, and we should only be slightly affected here. He should see that Zhu Zonghu's fiefdom has improved slightly, so he consciously weakened it, instead of really valuing us."
The cultivators below discussed for a while and said: "I don't know what Yin Xuanxiu's suggestion is. We thought we should send out manpower. When the current strength is not enough, there is no need to confront King Xi, and there is no need to create pressure on Zhu Zonghu.
, after all, I also need to consider my allies."
Yin Huanting looked at everyone and said: "According to the information we have collected from many sources, King Xi does not regard Zhu Zonghu as his true heir at all, so we must be prepared to fall out with King Xi at any time.
Twenty years is not enough, we have to buy enough time, and we also have to understand the enemy. This time King Xi sends us to conquer, isn't it a good opportunity to get to know them? So people must be sent, the key is just the number."
The monks below all nodded, and someone asked: "Fellow Taoist, how many comrades do you plan to send there?"
Yin Huanting said: "One to two thousand people are enough. King Xi doesn't know how many people there are. He always thought that we only have a few thousand people. As long as we have an explanation, it will be enough."
Although there are tens of thousands of Xuanxiu in Mianlu City, this fiefdom has long been managed by the Xuanxiu in an airtight manner, especially with the existence of Xuntian Daozhang. Detailed records of every citizen in the city are now recorded in Daozhang's records.
, any outsider who comes in will be discovered, don't even try to figure out the real situation here.
His proposal was quickly approved. After it was agreed upon, Yin Huanting looked over and saw Zhang Yuzheng standing in front of the transparent crystal wall with his sleeves down. He stood up and said in a very polite voice: "Mr. Tao
, what do you think of this?”
Many Xuan cultivators also looked over. Like Yin Huanting, they also did not know the identity of this person, but they agreed with the latter's judgment that this should be Xuan Zun who had not yet recovered his cultivation.
Zhang Yu turned around and said: "This is a matter between you and Zhu Zonghu. I will not interfere. If you fellow Taoists decide, I will hand over the result to Zhu Zonghu."
Yin Huanting raised his hand in salute, handed over the drafted letter, and said: "Then it's settled, I have to trouble you sir."
Zhang Yu nodded and took the letter. His figure blurred for a while and then disappeared. When this shadow appeared again, it had already landed in the main hall of the ring hall to the north.
At present, he is the only one who can cross the two places at will without any permission. He handed the letter to a sergeant waiting here, who saluted him and walked into the inner hall.
, not long after, the sergeant came out and said, "Zhi Dao, Zonghu invites you in."
Zhang Yu nodded and walked into the inner room, where Zhu Zonghu and Wang Daoren were waiting for him. The latter had also recruited many counselors over the years, but only a few were truly trustworthy.
After Zhu Zonghu invited him to sit down, he said: "Mr. Tao, it seems that my great-uncle has begun to pay attention to me. This time he is recruiting 'celestial beings', and next time I may be asked to send someone out. He will do his best."
Anything that might weaken me."
Wang Daoren said: "That's because Zonghu's strength is not strong enough. If he is strong enough, His Highness King Xi can only treat him like other clan members, so that King Xi will no longer treat him harshly, but can only win over Zonghu."
King Xi was quite generous to other clansmen, and Du gave great benefits in exchange for their support. However, clansmen with ability and strength are also worthy of being roped in. Some small clansmen have not been able to win over them in recent years.
Knowing how much was annexed, all the population of the fief was divided up by those large groups.
Zhu Zonghu sighed: "We still lack alchemists." He thought for a moment, looked at Zhang Yu, and said: "Mr. Tao, how many more years will it take for Mr. Yin?"
Zhang Yu knew what he wanted to ask. Until now, there was no qualified alchemist with upper-level strength in Mianlu City, because the skills of making upper-level outer armor were all in the hands of the Zong King and the upper class dignitaries, and King Xi didn't have any
Support what he means.
In addition to the large formations, the defense in the city can only rely on bird detection. The two sets of upper outer armor purchased at a great cost ten years ago are used to maintain the defense. However, they are only for defense, and there is no way to attack them.
He went out, so he could only hope that the upper-level power would appear in Xuanxiu.
He said: "In the next few years, colleagues from higher realms may appear, but to confront King Xi, decades or even hundreds of years may not be enough. To complete the ambition of protecting the clan and merging the Hao clan, it will still take a long time."
Longer."
Zhu Zonghu said: "I can still afford to wait tens or hundreds of years. Even if I fail, my successors will still fulfill their covenants with you and continue this unfinished business."
The Hao tribe's own lifespan is not very long, but with the external armor medicine to extend life, it is not difficult for him to live for one or two hundred years. And with the advancement of skills, more ways to extend life appear, and it is possible to live beyond this lifespan.
Having said this, he looked at Zhang Yu and said in a sincere voice: "Having said this, I have a merciless request."
Zhang Yudao: "Zhu Zonghu, please tell me."
Zhu Zonghu said: "I have a young son who has the talent of cultivating Taoism and is very smart. I intend to let him study under the disciples of you gentlemen. I wonder if Mr. Tao can recommend a suitable teacher for him?"
Zhang Yu glanced at him and nodded.
Perhaps because of his early experiences, Zhu Zonghu was ambitious, courageous, and forbearing, similar to many high-ranking members of the Hao clan, but he was rarely an enlightened and far-sighted person who also knew how to delegate power.
It is precisely because of the existence of such people that Xuan Xiu can get along more harmoniously with them, without those messy things. But it may not be the same if another person comes on stage.
Therefore, Yin Huan Ting has been thinking about letting Zhu Zonghu's direct descendants practice Xuan Dharma and become members of Xuan Dharma disciples. However, it was inappropriate for Xuan Xiu to raise this matter, and if it was not handled well, it would create a gap between the two parties. Zhu Zonghu
It would be best if you can discover this problem yourself and take the initiative to raise it.
He thought for a while and said: "Yin Xuanxiu is a very suitable candidate. I think he is very likely to reach the upper realm."
Yinhuan Ting's accumulation is very deep. At the beginning, he was one of the few Xuanxiu who could compete with the elite real cultivators in the same realm. From his perspective, if nothing unexpected happened, within twenty or thirty years, there would be
It is very possible to achieve Xuan Zun.
But this is also in this Fang Daohua world, where there is no fear of life and death, and there is a way out. If it were in Tianxia, it would not be that simple.
Zhu Zonghu nodded and said, "Then please sir."
He felt a little regretful in his heart. In fact, he wanted his youngest son to be worshiped by Zhang Yu, because he also found that Zhang Yu's status among gods and humans seemed to be very transcendent. But since this person did not agree, he could only
Just settle for the next best thing.
After Zhang Yu bowed, his body disappeared in the main hall, and his body immediately understood everything and opened his eyes from concentration.
After more than 20 years of practice, his accumulation of changes in Taoism has become deeper, but it is still far inferior to the accumulation of true cultivation for more than a thousand years.
He is not impatient about this. Even if he finds the "superior self" now, he may not be able to defeat him. There is no one to help him yet. When there are many upper-level powers in Xuanxiu, he will be more confident.
As for the Hao Clan, if Zhu Zonghu can seize the highest authority, then the Hao Clan's deepest secrets will be opened to him, which can help him confirm the location of his "superior self".
He looked into the sky, and with the authority of the Hao clan, it was relatively easy to obtain the real power behind the various factions outside the sky.
