In the west of the Great Zhou Dynasty, in Shen Manor, the festive atmosphere of two months ago has disappeared without a trace. It is freezing cold, the entire Shen Manor is covered with ice and snow, and every building is hung with white silk. The manor has a radius of ten miles. , deserted and surprisingly quiet.
In the main courtyard to the east, the atmosphere was even more solemn. The slaves in the village did not dare to speak loudly when they went out, and they even breathed carefully.
Chongyangzi stood in front of the window with his hands folded and a gloomy look on his face. Zhenyangzi, on the other hand, sat in the center of the hall, looking at a picture scroll in front of him, with the same extremely ugly expression.
It was a picture scroll full of mountains and rivers, but at this time, the spiritual light was reflected, and all the topography and landforms of the entire area of 200,000 miles around Shen Village were displayed on the picture scroll in detail.
This is the treasure of Taiping Road, the Taiping Mountains and Rivers Map, which can be connected through water veins in various places to manifest the surrounding landforms of 200,000 miles.
And after connecting with the Ice Soul Xuanyin Extermination Arrays everywhere, it even has a range of 200,000 miles, and all the great and small spiritual abilities near the Ice Soul Xuanyin Formation.
It is a supreme treasure in the war between sects. In the past, when Taiping Road unified the northern land, this "Taiping Mountains and Rivers Map" played the most important role.
At this moment, it was used here just to arrest one person, a foundation-building monk. However, in the eyes of several people present, they were more disappointed and tired.
Zhenyangzi only frowned, but finally sighed.
"Junior brother, in my opinion, this blockade can be stopped. After three months of hard work, not even a soul has been seen. I guess it will be useless to continue the search and blockade."
Chongyangzi looked into the distance and gave a faint hum, but did not comment.
However, Xiao Lingshu, who was sitting not far away, said with a pale face: "Stop? Is this your intention, senior brother, or the sect's intention?"
"If this continues, it will only be a waste of manpower."
Zhenyangzi did not answer directly, but spoke in a decadent tone: "Yesterday, several immortals teamed up to sweep the north direction, but still found nothing. Two immortals, Shouru and Shoushan, went south to Lichen territory, but achieved very little. Taiping Road He had already known the opportunity to take precautions. The Golden elixir cultivator did not leave the Liangyi Wuliang formation. On the contrary, it was Master Shouxian who was almost plotted by Jiefa and was almost killed in the south. Within four months of Li Chen Sect, there were people one after another. Seven people became elixirs, and ten more golden elixirs were recruited to worship. The number of golden elixir monks also increased to one hundred and sixty. Not only did they increase their troops in the East China Sea, but on our Taiping Road, hundreds of golden elixirs were trapped here, working hard for that Zhuzi. .”
"And then?"
Xiao Lingshu sneered, and her cheeks were covered with a trace of blood due to her heart palpitations.
"How can I not avenge my child? How about letting go of the hatred of several senior brothers and many fellow students being killed?"
"It's not that I won't retaliate." Zhenyangzi shook his head: "It's just that the method is wrong. It consumes a lot of manpower here, but the work is useless. I have nearly a hundred thousand disciples of Taiping Dao searching back and forth, and I have the help of the Demon Slayer Sect. Even this Zhuang Wudao is really a mosquito, and he should be found out, but there is still no trace so far. There is a 90% chance that he has escaped to the north. In that case, why waste any more energy here? This is also the reason why there is no trace inside the door. The meaning of the Yuan Shen elder. There are many objections within the sect now, and so much manpower has been consumed, but nothing has been gained."
"Elder Yuanshen? Objection?" Xiao Lingshu's laughter became more gloomy and sarcastic: "It's just to look at my Xiao family——"
But before she could say anything else, Chongyangzi turned around and interrupted, "Lingshu, be careful what you say!"
Xiao Lingshu's expression changed, and she turned from blue to white, but she still didn't say a word. Chongyangzi also turned to look directly at Zhenyang: "Senior brother, we can stop and withdraw, but it needs to be maintained for another three months.
"
"Three months?"
Zhenyangzi's eyes were slightly relaxed, but he did not immediately agree: "Junior brother's previous plan has begun to work. Now that the Three Saints Sect has united all the sects and families in the world, the trend of punishing sins and leaving the world has been completed. It only takes a few more months, or this will happen
Zhuang Wudao apologized, or the Lichen Sect reluctantly kicked him out. Why should we insist on a stalemate here and waste time?"
"I always feel that this kid didn't actually escape."
Chongyangzi looked at the picture of the Taiping Mountains and Rivers with his eyes, and said in a low voice: "Brother, how about you allow me to be willful for once? I can't kill him with my own hands, and let this son suffer eternal disaster. I don't want to talk about my plan again. The later this son comes back to the mountain, the more trouble he will have."
What are the chances of winning——"
※※※※
Above Lichen Mountain, the clouds and mist cover the mountain, and the aura is misty. At the beginning of winter, it is the time when the scenery of Lichen peaks is excellent.
But at this time, inside the main hall of Lichen, everything was gloomy and gloomy.
Several Daoist Masters of Yuanshen each took their positions on the altar, while Yun Lingyue was imageless, sitting slumped in the headmaster's treasure, with bloodshot eyes full of exhaustion.
Until Ling Huaying walked into the main hall with deep thoughts,
"Still not found, just no news at all?"
Hongfa asked impatiently: "That day, the Taoist Alliance is the number one loose cultivator alliance in the world. It controls the Tianji Monument, and its power reaches as far as the Northern Wasteland and the Badlands of Southern Xinjiang. If you really want to work hard to find the Lichen Sect on my behalf, why don't you
Maybe there is no news at all. Is it because the gift from my Li Chen Sect is too light and you don’t like it. Or are you looking down on me, Li Chen, and are you deliberately trying to evade it?”
"It must have taken a lot of effort, as Huaying's friends have seen with their own eyes. In half a year, it is not easy to use three thousand casual cultivators to investigate everywhere. With the help of Chiyin City, the Tiandao Alliance will not fail to give me the face of Lichen. However,
If we want the Tiandao Alliance to make any big moves, I'm afraid it will be difficult."
Ling Huaying gave a wry smile, and then changed his voice: "Actually, it's okay now. Although there is no news about me, Li Chen, the people of Taiping Road have also gained nothing. They are 200,000 miles away and have been sealed off for several months.
There is no sign of my junior brother. I guess my junior brother has probably escaped and is hiding somewhere now. I don’t think we can hold out for too long on the Taiping Road."
"If it were me, no matter how high the cost, I would kill Zhuang Wudao. In a few days, I would kill more than ten Jindans. It is such a shame and humiliation. If Taiping Dao does not come back with revenge, its foundation in the north will be shaken.
.However, this man of no means is really ruthless and vicious in his methods."
Hongfa said "Hey," and then turned to Master Jiefa: "At the beginning, we and others decided to temporarily ground this boy and not go out. When it is really necessary, at least seven golden elixirs will be needed to carry at least one boat.
We are accompanied by a spirit bone treasure ship. If senior brother could keep his promise, why would there be such a disaster today?"
Master Jiefa frowned. It was hard to say whether Zhuang Wudao had seen the four puppet dzi beads when he left. Even Master Yuanshen could not find his disciple. Zhuang Wudao also promised that he would not stay away.
He only needed three months to return. Although he was worried at that time, he sent several Jindan elders in the sect to follow and protect him secretly, but Zhuang Wudao used the escape method to get rid of him.
I couldn't say any of this, because I was indeed wrong this time and had no excuse.
"After this happened, I will punish myself by facing the wall for a year."
With a sigh, Master Jiefa glanced at everyone in the hall: "What do you think of the ultimatum sent by the Qiantian Sect just now?"
"Five months later, the Qiantian Sect will join forces with the Liaoyuan Temple, Xuansheng Sect, Taiping Dao, Great Spirit Imperial Family, Tiandao League, Xuanji League, and Tianyi Xiujie Ten Religions and Five Families to jointly accuse our sect?" Yan Daoruo I, Li Chen, have no explanation, so I will definitely attack the mountains and temples, and combine the power of all the religions and sects in heaven to destroy my Li Chen lineage."
Sanfa lowered his eyebrows and had no expression on his face. All he had to do was spread his hair and flutter his clothes, showing that he was extremely angry about this.
"Does the Tian Sect treat me as one of those small sects that they can manipulate at will? And since there is no evidence, how can they accuse me of Li Chen? Wouldn't that make people laugh?"
The so-called Ten Religions, Five Families and Three Alliances each have their own meaning. The Ten Religions are the ten major sects in the world including the Lichen Sect.
Qiantian Xuansheng Chiyin Lichen Taiping, although they all belong to Taoist sects, they actually establish their own religion. Except for a few Taoist ancestors, the gods enshrined in the sects are all different, and their teachings are also very different. Buddhism starts a prairie fire. The Second Zhenlong Temple is also divided into large and small vehicles.
As for the 'Five Families', they are the five major families, including the Great Ling Yan family. The so-called Three Alliances refer to the three major casual cultivator alliances, headed by the 'Tiandao Alliance' and the 'Xuanji Alliance.' The Four Seas Alliance has five or six Yuanshen monks, which are comparable in strength to the current Li Chen Sect. However, the organization is loose and can only defend itself, and does not have much influence on the general trend of the world.
Master Jiefa said nothing and looked directly at Ling Huaying. It was not because he was the most well-informed disciple, but because Ling Huaying was quite popular in the Tiandao League. He had several close friends who all held high positions.
Ling Huaying did not disappoint: "As far as I know, this matter was initially promoted by the Taiping Taoist leader, and then someone from the Qiantian Sect came forward to preside over it. There should be no evidence."
When he said this sentence, including the restraint, his mind was slightly relaxed. But Ling Huaying's tone was still serious.
"However, my friends said that although there is no evidence of Taiping Dao, there are people in our Lichen Sect who came forward to testify and report to the Qiantian Sect. They said that Junior Brother Daozhuang practiced the magic way and offered blood sacrifices to the devil. That's why there is This time the matter of questioning—"
Before he finished speaking, there was a boom on the cloud platform on the other side of Yang Fa. It was actually a punch that hit the jade stone beneath him, causing the entire cloud platform to almost shatter.
And this real person's face seemed to be dripping with water, his breath was fierce, and he was obviously angry.
"What you mean is that there is a ghost inside our Lichen Sect who has come forward to Qiantian Sect and brought this trouble to the sect?"
Linghua Yingqiang smiled and did not answer, but everyone in the hall knew what he meant.
There is a ghost from Taiping Dao inside the door, and his status is not low. Everyone knows that it is not a day or two.
"This is going to be tricky. There is no evidence of Taiping Dao, but if a disciple of my Lichen Sect comes forward, there will be no evidence at all, and the Three Saints Sect will have an opportunity and excuse to intervene in this matter."
Jifa Zhenren frowned deeply.
"After the limit of five months, Wu Dao must be present. I am afraid this statement has a profound meaning."
"There is indeed a conspiracy. Even if someone is the leader, how can we be sure that he has no Tao and has practiced magic?"
The third method has calmed down, but he only felt a chill all over his body: "There are several methods of detecting demons in the world, led by Qiantian Sect's Zhao Demon Jian. Even if there is a trace of demonic essence, it will be difficult to escape. No matter how wonderful the magic is. The method of breathing is also useless, and it cannot be hidden from the devil's mirror. I'm afraid that by then, he will not be able to escape this disaster if he has no way."
"Gentlemen, you don't need to worry too much."
At this time, Yun Lingyue also said with a helpless face: "It is not yet determined whether Junior Brother Zhuang has really practiced the magic method. Or this matter is just due to the slander of Taiping Dao. I see Junior Brother Wudao's daily behavior
, he behaves in a controlled manner and has his own rules and regulations, how can he be like a demonic cultivator?"
