Opposite Master Hongde, Yu Xuxuan smiled lightly and shook his head: "Although Li Chen has been in constant turmoil in recent years, his actual strength has not been greatly reduced. Neither Taiping Dao nor Qian Tian Sect can shake Li Chen. The foundation of the Chen Sect. Instead, the Dongquan Palace was destroyed, causing the Yishan Sect to shrink and could only stick to the mountain gate. Sixty percent of the hundreds of countries in the southeast have been owned by Li Chen. Today's strength is even greater than it was a thousand years ago. .A mysterious policy, a discipline, passed down by two generations for thousands of years, brought Lichen back to its peak again."
"This is also the reason why this southeastern place has become more and more prosperous in recent years. It is said that 10% of the luck in the world has returned to Zangxuan Nan'an."
Beside Yu Xuxuan, Yu Yunqin also shook his head and commented, with a look of envy in his eyes. In this southeastern land, not only has the population increased greatly, but the earth's spiritual lands have also been opened up and sorted out one by one, and they are constantly growing. snatched from the hands of monsters, spiritual fields increased, and mineral veins were discovered. Therefore, the number of golden elixir monks produced in the southeastern region also increased.
Although the Central Plains is vast and rich in resources, in terms of potential, it is far less than that of the southeast. It is precisely because all the sects and forces in the world have paid attention to the southern land, and have gradually recovered, with the potential to catch up with the Central Plains. That is why Li Chen is now The clan underwent great changes.
Thousands of years ago, Li Chen was able to still defend the mountain gate and Xiangkong Island after the catastrophe of Xiangkong Island. It was not so much the power of Lichen Sect and Chiyin City that made people worry, but rather that the forces from the north were restraining each other and disturbing each other. , but couldn’t do it.
The barbaric land of the past has become a fat spot in the eyes of the major sects.
"Father, Yun Qin has actually had doubts for a long time. Chiyin City has been working tirelessly over the years to seek to expand northward to the Central Plains. Is it right or wrong?"
Millions of years ago during the Lihan Tiangong era, the land of Xichuan was also extremely prosperous. With the power of one place, it suppressed the entire Tianyi cultivation world. After the destruction of Lihan Tiangong, huge disasters caused countless deaths and injuries to nearby creatures. This Xichuan The land returned to the wilderness.
From Chiyin City to the south, there is still a large area of fertile land and a large number of spiritual lands that can be developed. There are nearly a thousand countries in Xichuan, but the situation is even more chaotic than that in Tianyi Southeast. There are hundreds of large and small sects and countless practicing families. thousand.
In Yu Yunqin's eyes, it is far cheaper to open up to the south than to go north.
"Yunqin, do you really think that our seniors have been seeking to return to the Central Plains these years?"
Seeing a look of helplessness on Yu Xuxuan's face opposite him, and a slight smile on the face of Master Hongde, Dai Yu Xuxuan explained: "In the early years of Chiyin City, we moved the sect's main mountain to where it is now The Chiyin Island is not so much forced by the Three Saints Sect as it is more about taking the initiative. The wealth of Xichuan is enough to be the foundation of the sect for eternity. However, Chiyin is different from Lichen. Our sect's strength is only Under the Three Saint Sect, not only has it been tabooed by the three sects, but even the emperors of the Great Spirit Kingdom do not want to see the fourth Saint Sect appear. And there are many people who covet the land of Xichuan. The situation in Chiyin City in the past was even more dangerous than that of the Lichen Sect today. After all, we in Chiyin City are outsiders and are tabooed by the local sect forces. The reason why we march north to the Central Plains is actually to use offense instead of defense. Only Only by disrupting the Central Plains and making those sects in the Central Plains unable to distract themselves from moving south can they defend Xichuan. Yunqin, you only need to look at the dozens of battles between our sect's predecessors and the Sansheng Sect in the Central Plains to know that we are naked. Yin City has no intention of establishing a foothold in the Central Plains, and what it does is not much different from that of a troublemaker. It is nothing more than 'balance'. Whichever side is weak, I, Chiyin City, will lean towards that direction——"
Yu Yunqinbo was dumbfounded, looking at the two people in front of him in astonishment, feeling quite unbelievably psychedelic, as if he was in a dream at this moment.
But if you think about it carefully, it makes sense. Although Chiyin City is the fifth orthodox sect in the world, it is far from being able to completely control this area.
On the one hand, it is the power of these sectarian families that makes people fearful, and on the other hand, there is Yu She of the Sansheng Sect in the north.
The land of Xichuan is different from the north. The north is bitter and cold, and the land is sparsely populated. Therefore, Taipingdao can easily completely control the northern land. And the southwest is rich in resources and fertile land. There are nearly a thousand large and small countries, large and small sects and monks.
The number is several times greater than that in the north, and I don’t know how many people are coveting it. After eight thousand years of Chiyin City, its power is only a corner of the 300,000-mile radius around Chiyin City.
Hongde then continued: "The dispute between Junior Brother Xu Xuan and Senior Brother Hongzhen back then was not actually about whether to continue going north. It was about Senior Brother Hongzhen thinking that we, Chiyin City, could take advantage of the fight between the Yan family and the Sansheng Sect.
Time, focus on this
In the land of Sichuan, he swept away all the sects in the southwest and truly mastered the leadership of Xichuan. However, Junior Brother Xu Xuan disagreed and believed that the Yan family was too weak. The Three Saints Sect had other hidden back-ups. Once the Central Plains Dynasty was destroyed, Chiyin City would surely be destroyed.
disaster."
"Backhand?"
Yu Yunqin frowned and looked at Yu Xuxuan doubtfully: "Father, I wonder what other back-up plans the Three Saints Sect has?"
Yu Xuxuan remained silent, but Hong De sighed slightly: "Actually, it doesn't matter, you have to know sooner or later. Xu Xuan suspects that the Three Saints Sect may have mastered the method of contacting the upper world, and even
The road to Taixu has been opened."
Yu Yunqin's pupils suddenly shrank. Open up the road to Taixu and connect with the upper world? Doesn't this mean that the monks of the Three Saints Sect can already fly through the air? Even if they can't, if one or two are the upper world
When a monk in the Void Realm comes, it will also be a disaster——
"It's just speculation, never confirmed!"
Yu Xuxuan shook his head: "But no matter what, it will be a great shame for our ancestral land of Chiyin City to fall into the hands of Liaoyuan Temple. No matter whether it is the Yan family or the Three Saints Sect, even my father can't see through it. Chiyin
The city must not take the initiative to retreat to the Central Plains, as that would be self-destruction."
Hong De also sighed: "Today's general trend is changing and difficult to grasp. Therefore, Li Chen, an ally, cannot afford to lose. If we fail at this point, the whole situation will definitely collapse."
Yu Yunqin has no doubt about this. Chiyin City and Taiping Road may seem similar, but they are actually different. The northern land and Beihai are poor and their resources have been exhausted, so Taiping Road has to open up outwards and go south to the East China Sea.
However, Chiyin City is different. Just sorting out the land of Xichuan has exhausted all the energy of Chiyin City, and there is no way to expand outside.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, how similar is Lichen at this time to Chiyin City eight thousand years ago?
But this time, how difficult is it for Li Chen to resist this evil calamity?
"If I don't break up the Chen Sect's real people, why don't they ask for help from Chiyin City?"
"They say they are like-minded, but after all, they are just allies, not a family."
Hong De laughed, with a bright light in his eyes: "If Li Chen asks me, Chi Yin, for help, I need to see if the seventh-level Yin Demon Blood Sunflower under the Earth Demon Cave is real or fake."
"So that's it." If Yu Yunqin had some realization, "So, there must be something under that Demon's Cave that Li Chen doesn't want us to know about, Chiyin City?"
"Of course"
Yu Xuxuan also laughed: "The Lichen Sect is strictly guarding the Earth Demon's Cave. If you really have an open heart, there will be nothing else down there. You won't have to hide it from me, Chiyin City."
There was anger hidden in Yu Yunqin's eyes at first, but then it disappeared without a trace. The Earth Demon Cave was originally under the mountain gate of Lichen Sect, and the things inside were naturally owned by Lichen Sect. It would also be wrong if they were not shared with Chiyin City.
Of course. And this time Li Chen was responsible for the cause and effect on his own. He did not borrow the power of Chiyin City, and there was no reason to inform Chiyin City in detail.
The reason why she was angry was just because she felt that she was being deceived and guarded against by her allies, and was annoyed by being treated as an outsider. But seriously speaking, the Lichen Sect didn't actually owe Chiyin City anything.
This anger is actually very unreasonable and has no reason.
"I think Li Chen may not be able to hold on this time."
"Who knows? Master Jiefa has always been cautious and resourceful. If he is not sure, he will not act rashly. Since he is planning to leave Chiyin City and deal with it alone as a family, he must have some confidence-"
As Hong De said this, he suddenly raised his eyebrows and tilted his head slightly, as if he was listening to something. After a moment, he smiled and rolled his sleeves and said: "The battle of Huanglian Mountain has already concluded."
Following Hongde's movements, the picture in front of the three people also changed slightly. However, Yu Yunqin did not look at it, but continued to look at Hongde.
The Battle of Huanglian Mountain in Hongde's mouth was the first action taken by the three Northern Demonic Sects against the Lichen Sect. Huanglian Mountain is located in the territory of the country, close to the far east Shenyuan, and is the seat of the Lichen Sect's seventy "positive and negative rituals".
Wuliangdutian Formation
, one of the few, one of the few strongholds arranged on the north bank of the Zangxuan River. There are ten golden elixirs stationed inside, and hundreds of foundation-building monks preside over the formation, blocking the entry and exit of the Zangxuan River in the east.
Channel of Haikou.
Just two days ago, this Huanglian Mountain stronghold was surrounded by more than 20 souls from the three demon sects, hundreds of golden elixirs, and tens of thousands of foundation-building monks.
"The Ziwu Xuanyang ship was 230,000 miles away, and it only took less than half a day to arrive at Huanglian Mountain. Li Chenzhuang Wudao, within three breaths of time, successively deployed four 'Chongming Shenxiao Boundless Capital'
The Tian Da Formation, coupled with the help of the Ziwu Xuanyang Ship, killed six Jindans in a row and seriously injured a Yuanshen monk from the Moyan Sect."
"How could it be?" Yu Yunqin couldn't help but be surprised and looked at Hong De: "Even if Master Jiefa and the others arrived, their strength was much weaker than the three demon sects. How could they in turn severely damage the demon sect? It's not a big formation -
—”
"Don't underestimate the Ziwu Xuanyang Ship. In the past, my master also mentioned the reputation of this ship. There is also Zhuang Wudao's Chongming Shenxiao Formation, which is also the advancement of the positive and negative Liangyi Formation.
The formation method. Combined with the Ziwu Xuanyang Ship, it can deploy the infinite Xuanyang Formation of Chongming Shenxiao Qiankun. The power of the formation can directly catch up with the Jiangnan Dao Palace of the Lichen Sect.
Hongde spoke and shook his head in disbelief: "The key is that the Ziwu Xuanyang ship's escape speed is so fast. It took less than two hours to escape and fly 230,000 miles. The escape speed is
It is simply unbelievable to catch up with Hedao. On this ship, it will take less than three days to go from the extremely difficult place to the extreme north?"
