Chapter 420: Not my hometown (please subscribe!!)
"Even if a shocking accident does occur, it is still something that the sect has to consider. I just need to save my life."
"With the current strength and the Immortal Mansion in hand, where can't I find a place to stay?"
Thinking of this, Liu Yu smiled slightly.
Then he looked at Leng Yuexin who was walking over, his face straightened, and he began to ask about the casualties.
"Senior Brother Qingyang, in this battle, nineteen monks in the Qi Refining Stage were killed or injured, and thirty-two were lightly injured or seriously injured."
"Among them, three of the sect disciples died."
"As for the fellow Foundation Builders, none of them died, but a few suffered injuries of varying severity."
Leng Yuexin cupped her hands and reported.
Although she has been ostracized by other monks because of her practice of magic, her personality is not extreme.
The relationship with other monks is relatively cold, but there is no problem in normal communication.
Because of her good strength and her status as a disciple of the Yuanyang Sect, few monks would provoke this woman.
So I did a good job in handling some things.
"Um."
Liu Yu nodded slightly and then asked about some specific situations.
Although he rarely intervenes in specific commands, he still needs to know what he needs to know, otherwise he may be deceived by his subordinates if he lacks key information.
A journey of a thousand miles can collapse in an ant nest, so we must guard against this aspect.
Therefore, every time he summoned Jiang Qiushui, Leng Yuexin and others, Liu Yu would ask about the specific situation and learn more about the situation in the team.
This level of casualties was expected. He was not surprised and could accept it.
After all, the monks of Baiyun Temple are not weak, and they are desperate under the threat of life and death. Even if our side has all the advantages, it is impossible to escape unscathed.
"Junior sister Leng did a great job."
"Liu already knows the specific situation. According to the matter of the injured monk, I will leave it to Junior Sister Leng."
"It must be properly arranged and don't let your comrades feel cold."
After understanding the situation, Liu Yu ordered.
"yes!"
"Yue Xin will definitely live up to Senior Brother Qingyang's high expectations!"
Leng Yuexin heavily cupped her hands and said immediately.
She was struggling in the sect, and finally got an opportunity to improve her situation, and of course she didn't want to miss it easily.
Therefore, this woman has always been more concerned about the things arranged by Liu Yu.
"Go ahead."
Liu Yu waved her hand, signaling the woman to step back.
Leng Yuexin nodded slightly, turned around and walked towards the area where the disciples were resting not far away. She was not sloppy at all, and had a somewhat resolute air.
Under the hazy night, her long bright red hair was particularly eye-catching.
As the flames burned, smoke curled up.
Within dozens of miles of Yunxiao Mountain, there are ruins and broken walls everywhere, and everything as far as the eye can see is devastated.
Soaring straight into the sky on Lingshan Mountain, the flag representing Baiyun Temple has fallen down at some point.
The flags representing Yuanyang Sect, Waning Moon Valley, and Hehuan Gate are placed side by side in their original positions.
Liu Yu looked away with his hands behind his hands, taking in a panoramic view of the post-war scene.
Gradually, the mind that was originally tense due to the fighting also relaxed and returned to the state of Gujing Wubo.
He stayed there quietly, taking out two medium-grade spiritual stones to restore his mana, and waiting for the summons from the elders.
Immortal cultivators have good practical skills and are assisted by various spells. As long as they are willing, it is naturally impossible for them to use the sky as their bed and the earth as their bed.
Less than two-quarters of an hour after the war ended, a series of simple wooden houses stretched out on top of the ruins.
As the winner, you can do whatever you want, tall ancient forest trees can be cut down arbitrarily, and the number of simple wooden houses is still increasing.
After all, cultivating immortality is an extremely private matter, and not many monks want their situation to be known to other monks.
Barbarism and civilization are really happening in front of you, but they are so harmonious.
Liu Yu looked around and saw that the monks of the three sects were clearly distinct and divided into three areas without interfering with each other.
Although due to the alliance's order, the three sects briefly united and destroyed Baiyun Temple.
But to say how good the relationship is, that's not necessarily true.
At least in the eyes of Liu Yu and other Yuanyang Sect monks, Hehuan Sect is still a hostile sect and will not change in any way. The eyes of the monks on both sides intersect with each other, showing a trace of vigilance and hostility.
As for Waning Moon Valley, a traditional ally, it's a bit easier to say.
However, with the massive legacy left by Baiyunguan in front of us, whether this ally is an ally or not is a matter of two opinions.
At this time, the war was basically over, and the three sects still maintained good order as a whole, without any chaos.
Most of the monks from the three sects stayed at the foot of the mountain to camp and rest. Only a small number of monks, led by the senior leaders of the three sects, climbed to Yunxiao Mountain to inventory their property.
While observing the situation and recovering mana, time gradually passed.
It wasn't until half an hour later that his magic power was fully restored, but he still didn't receive any instructions from the sect, and there was no news from the master.
"It seems that although I have a good foundation and a bright future, I am still not a true successor of the sect."
Liu Yu smiled bitterly.
He witnessed Zhao Wuji, Bai Yuxuan, Li Buyu, Zhou Zhuofeng and other sect true disciples ascending Yunxiao Mountain not long ago, but he still stayed at the foot of the mountain.
In the eyes of the senior officials of the sect, it is clear at a glance which of the two matters is more important.
"Right."
"It has only been about thirty years since I established the foundation."
"Although he is now becoming more famous and has shown great potential, after all, he has not achieved much credit and his time serving the sect was too short."
"After all, the foundation is still shallow."
Liu Yu quickly figured out the reason, but he still felt a little uncomfortable at being treated so differently.
"I hope that with this contribution, I can work hard after I return and be promoted to True Successor."
He turned and walked towards a large wooden house.
If you can't wait, then don't wait.
Anyway, some resources are just exchanged for spiritual stones, and he is not short of spiritual stones now.
We have the strength and resources, and there will be plenty of opportunities to slowly climb up in the future.
Jiang Qiushui was very careful and had already personally directed the construction of a wooden house for Liu Yu. It was also simple but relatively spacious.
He waved his hand to set up a set of second-level mid-level formations to ensure a certain degree of protection and at the same time, other monks' spiritual consciousness could not pry into it.
It's not that he doesn't have second-order high-grade formations in his storage bag, but carrying a set of second-order high-grade formations with him is too high-profile, so he doesn't intend to take them out in public.
Taking out the futon and sitting cross-legged, Liu Yu held a book explaining spell release and slowly flipped through it.
In this current situation, you may accept orders from the sect at any time, which is not suitable for cultivation.
Moreover, although this set of second-level mid-level formations can block the spiritual prying eyes of monks of the same realm, it is difficult to say how much of a blocking effect it has on the spiritual glances of those top Jindan masters.
Liu Yu has too many secrets, and he doesn't want his cultivation situation to be known to high-level monks.
Therefore, when you are under the nose of a high-level monk, you don't plan to practice. Anyway, there is no rush to practice, and safety is the most important thing.
His attention was quickly devoted to the magic books, absorbing the knowledge of cultivating immortals like a charm.
His rich experience allowed him to understand the contents of the classics more easily and to know many small details that he had not noticed before.
The things that I had struggled to understand in the past were now clear to me one by one, giving rise to a lot of my own insights.
If it weren't for the fact that the current venue was not suitable, Liu Yu would immediately want to try it out.
Resources include tangible resources and intangible resources, such as elixirs, spiritual stones, elixir raw materials, magic weapons, etc., which are tangible resources.
Kung Fu, secret techniques, classics, experiences, etc. are intangible resources.
It is impossible to say which one is better or worse between the two, it depends on the specific situation, but one is indispensable.
In addition to the harvest of tangible resources such as spiritual stones, Liu Yu also gained a lot from intangible resources such as martial arts books and other intangible resources by destroying many large and small forces and killing countless monks.
He attaches great importance to these Kung Fu books and will keep any that are of some use, ready to take them out and read them from time to time.
If the conditions are right, Liu Yu also wants to build a "library" in which to store various classics he has collected.
…
On the other side, Yunxiao Mountain.
After a period of debate among the three Jindan monks, they finally reached a preliminary consensus and made a preliminary division of interests.
The commanding disciples counted the results, and the three top golden elixirs gathered together to discuss the treatment of the prisoners in Baiyun Temple.
People with "hard bones" will naturally have "soft bones".
In a life-and-death crisis, most of the monks at Baiyun Temple would rather die than become prisoners, but there are also a few who are greedy for life and fear death and choose to surrender in order to save their lives.
"What do fellow Daoist Changfeng think of these prisoners?"
Sanjie Zhenren, with a shiny head and a red robe, spoke with interest.
After finishing his words, he continued without waiting for Master Changfeng to reply:
"According to a certain family, there are also many juniors with good qualifications among these prisoners."
"If it is handled hastily, it will be really wasteful."
"How about we each divide a part, absorb it into the sect, and relegate it to being used by the servants as cows and horses?"
Master Sanjie had a smile on his face, but there was a hidden secret in his words.
Of course he knew that the source of Changfeng's golden elixir had been damaged due to Baiyunguan's breach of contract, but he just deliberately did not mention it.
The Hehuan Sect is hostile to the Yuanyang Sect, and the relationship between them, the Jindan monks, is also hostile, so if there is an opportunity to disgust each other, of course you cannot miss it.
"snort!"
"You, bald, speak well."
"The revenge of destroying the sect can be easily forgotten. Taoist friend uses these captive monks, I'm afraid that there will be a fire in the backyard!"
"It will be a great show when the time comes. When fellow Taoists watch it, please don't forget to inform me."
"But this kind of thing happens often in Hehuanmen, so it's not a big deal after thinking about it."
After snorting coldly, Master Changfeng responded unceremoniously, not giving the other party any face at all.
For a while, the two of them were sarcastic and arguing with each other.
There were many unpleasant and obscene words being said, and the scene began to become tense. How could there be any trace of Jin Dan's demeanor?
"Fellow Taoists, wait a moment and listen to me."
"I agree with Fellow Taoist Changfeng. It would be better to deal with all the prisoners of Baiyun Temple."
"The hatred for destroying the clan is irreconcilable. Keeping him alive will sooner or later be a disaster."
"Compared to their role, the potential threat is greater, so it is not advisable to stay."
Master Zhongxuan interrupted the argument between the two and interjected.
As soon as these words came out, the place suddenly became quiet.
Master Changfeng had a smile on his face, while Master Sanjie had a look of displeasure on his face, but he snorted and said nothing.
The fact of two to one is before our eyes, and it is useless to talk about it now.
Master Chongxuan also had a smile on his face. The reason why he stood by Master Changfeng was not because of the alliance between the two sects, but because of the interests of his own sect.
Otherwise, you should join in the quarrel just now.
…
Another hour later, we reached the foot of Yunxiao Mountain.
Liu Yu was flipping through the classics in the wooden house when he suddenly felt fluctuations coming from the arranged formation, so he opened the formation calmly.
A cool female cultivator wearing a purple dress walked in with gentle steps.
It’s Jiang Qiushui!
"Senior brother."
After the woman said hello, she sat close to her and then said:
"Qiu Shui brought the monks from this battle team and killed the enemy cultivators. Do you need to take a look at it, senior brother?"
"This is the list. If senior brother has no questions, just submit it according to this list?"
As she spoke, she took out a thin booklet.
Liu Yu didn't say anything. He took the book and flipped through it, nodding slightly from time to time to express satisfaction.
There are naturally many things that can be manipulated in this list of requests for merit from the sect.
For example, you can slightly exaggerate the credits of your confidants and monks who are close to you, and depress the credits of those monks who are more distant from you.
As time goes by, the gap becomes larger.
Everyone is close and distant. Although Liu Yu treats everyone equally on the surface, he still treats his close associates and sect disciples more favorably.
It's just that compared to many teams, it's not that obvious on the surface, and it's easier to accept.
Jiang Qiushui has done similar things many times and understands his senior brother's thoughts very well. This list basically satisfies him.
So he no longer hesitated and left his magic mark readily.
"Senior brother, the two countries are basically destroyed. The war in the world of immortality should be over soon, right?!"
"Then, will we be able to return to the sect soon?!"
After talking about the business, Jiang Qiu Shui blinked his big eyes and asked, with a hint of longing between his brows.
Although Liangyuan is good, it is not my hometown!
Although she was at home here and was in a high-ranking position, as time passed, she still wanted to return to the sect.
Jiang Qiushui is also a disciple from another school. She grew up in the sect. For her, the sect is home.
After being away from home for a long time, any monk will inevitably miss him. This is human nature.
"Now that the Yan Kingdom has been settled, the three sects have divided all the territory of Baiyunguan, and the situation has not yet completely stabilized."
"The sect needs manpower to maintain the interests it already has. Even if the war ends, it is impossible to evacuate all the disciples."
"I'm afraid that if Junior Sister wants to return to the sect, she will have to wait for a year or two."
"But I will go back sooner or later. I will only be stationed here for a few years. Junior sister, don't worry."
Liu Yu gently patted her shoulder and comforted her.
It's normal for female cultivators to be more sentimental than male cultivators, and he can understand that.
Due to the circumstances, neither of them had the heart to think about "that matter", so after chatting for a while, Jiang Qiushui said goodbye and left.
