The four hundred and seventeenth chapter of the calculation of the parties
Since the beginning of the war between the two sides, the Hongshan Sect has suffered setbacks almost everywhere. Seven of the eleven Zifu monks have been lost. Even if they have tried their best in the past forty years and used the sect's accumulated wealth over the years, they can only support two Zifu monks. Early monks.
For a period of time, with the help of Shen Chenzhou from Nanlu Pavilion, he managed to gain an upper hand and successfully killed Sun Changgeng and Shen Conglong.
However, compared to the Qingxuan Sect's continuous supply of talented monks, including the Zhang family's Sanzi Mansion and Wei Bohan brothers, the Hongshan Sect's strength has long been reduced to what it once was.
The news that Hu Peiyu has cultivated to the ninth floor of the Zi Mansion and prepared to form elixirs has been noticed by Shen Chenzhou and Yang Wangyuan. As the front line of the confrontation between the two sides, Hu Peiyu has not appeared for more than ten years, which will definitely arouse the suspicion of Yang and Chen. Ten days ago That battle was their temptation.
Unexpectedly, this time's test would achieve great results. Shen Chenzhou went deep into the enemy's territory and successfully seized the opportunity. He killed Shen Conglong, severely injured Zhu Wuya, and also defeated six families that were attached to Qingxuan Sect. Build the foundation of the family spiritual mountain.
Even Hu Peiyu's family, the Hu family, was conquered by the Hongshan Sect monks and conquered Huilong Peak. Except for a small number of clan members outside the mountain gate, most of the family monks were also wiped out.
As a last resort, Patriarch Jin had no choice but to ask for help from the mountain gate. Three days later, Lu Hongniang brought Luo Ziyan, You Nianwei, and Zhou Zijian, three late-stage cultivators from the Purple Mansion, to come to the rescue.
Relying on the reinforcements brought by Lu Hongniang, Qingxuan Sect successfully repelled Shen Chenzhou and pushed back the reinforcements from Hongshan Sect and Nanlu Pavilion to the west of Yuntai Mountain.
Seeing that the time for Hu Peiyu to form a pill was getting closer and closer, Yang Wangyuan and Shen Chenzhou's worries became stronger day by day.
In the past hundred years, Qingxuan Sect has become more and more prosperous, and talents have emerged in an endless stream, pulling Hongshan and Nanlu sects further and further apart.
Once Hu Peiyu successfully formed the elixir, it would be very difficult for the Hongshan Sect to defend Taihong Mountain.
Luo Xing Mountain is a third-level spiritual stone less than three thousand miles away from Yuntai Mountain. It was attacked by Yang Wangyuan in the last conflict. After Shen Chenzhou retreated from the rear, he also retreated to Luo Xing Mountain to join Yang Wangyuan.
On the way to Yuntai Mountain from the Zhang Family's Sanzi Mansion, Yang Wangyuan and Shen Chenzhou were making their final plans.
It was late at night, and a crescent moon hung in the sky, illuminating the entire Lingshan Mountain. Under the moonlight, the white clouds in the sky looked like a spotless white lotus.
As golden elixir stage monks, they no longer need to sleep most of the time. If they meditate for a quarter of an hour every day, they will feel energetic the next day. Even though it was late at night, Yang Chen and Yang Chen were still worried, looking in the direction of Yuntai Mountain with worried faces.
"Brother Dao Yang, how have you considered the things I mentioned last time?" Shen Chenzhou broke the silence and said.
Yang Wangyuan frowned and said with an embarrassed look: "Brother Shen, how could I make such a decision until the last moment?"
Shen Chenzhou stood up and walked back and forth: "Brother Yang Dao, we need to make a decision on this matter early. Once it continues to be delayed, when Hu Peiyu and Liu Qingchan form pills one after another, it will be very difficult for us to retreat safely even if we want to. .If the Hongshan Sect is destroyed, our Nanlu Pavilion will also be in ruins. At that time, the situation of two strong and one weak Yu Kingdom will be formed. Even if Nanlu Pavilion can survive for a few days, I am afraid that it will not escape the danger of the sect being destroyed."
Yang Wangyuan still shook his head and said: "Brother Shen Dao, you asked me to blow up the mountain gate, move the monks to Nanlu Pavilion to join forces, and clear the wilderness on a large scale in the three counties of Jiangnan, Luyang, and Hongshan. How can I do this easily? I have made up my mind that once I do this, I will be the biggest sinner in the history of the Hongshan Sect. How will I explain it to the ancestors of the past generations?"
Shen Chenzhou stamped his feet and said: "Brother Yang Dao, why are you still so hesitant? You do big things without sacrificing your own life, and you forget your loyalty when you see small profits. In order to seize the Chaoyin Mountain Lingshi Mine, you took the lead in provoking a war. If I hadn't brought people to help, your Hongshan Sect would have been wiped out a dozen years ago? At a time like today, you still want to take risks? Don't you know that Lu Hongniang has already arrived in Jiangkou County, and the Zhang family's Sanzi Mansion may also have On the way to reinforcements, once the Qingxuan Sect's troops arrive, how can we be their opponent?
If we want to destroy Hu Peiyu's elixir formation, we must at least attack Yuntai Mountain. Our strength is weak, isn't this a sheep entering a tiger's mouth?"
Shen Chenzhou's unceremonious words made Yang Wangyuan's face turn pale, and he suddenly felt a little embarrassed. He flicked his sleeves and sneered: "Why, Brother Shen regrets it? Unfortunately, it's too late now." .Sun Changgeng and Shen Conglong both died at the hands of Taoist brothers. Even if your Nanlu Pavilion wants to reconcile with Qingxuan Sect, I am afraid that others will remember this grudge. Even if you have a few years of leisure, you will wait until the time comes. When people settle their accounts after the fall, they will definitely follow in our footsteps, and they will be finished as well."
Shen Chenzhou sighed and said: "I do regret it. I intervened in this matter back then. I never expected that Qingxuan Sect would have such great stamina? It actually cultivated golden elixir monks continuously, and there were also Tianlinggen monks hidden inside. .But the current situation is indeed as you said, what's the use of regrets? It's my own choice to reach this point. We are all grasshoppers on a rope now. What can I do when my lips are dead and my teeth are cold?
Brother Yang Dao, every day the current situation drags on, our life will become more difficult. Now is not the time for us to blame each other and have conflicts. The top priority is to unite."
Yang Wangyuan smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Shen Dao, it's easy for you to say that. It's not your Nanlu Pavilion that blows up the mountain gate and moves the guests there, so you can naturally talk about it.
First of all, we will move tens of thousands of monks to Nanlu Pavilion Mountain Gate. Your spiritual veins are simply not enough, so it will be difficult for us to solve this problem. Secondly, I will also be responsible for moving the monks’ families. The number of people to be moved may exceed one million, millions of people. I have to prepare for such a huge loss of materials for several years. Once the spiritual veins are blown up and I live in your Nanlu Pavilion, our Hongshan Sect will end its inheritance, and it will be no different from the collapse of the sect. I will decide this How dare you make such a decision easily?"
Shen Chenzhou sighed: "It seems that I still haven't convinced you. You still want to take risks in your heart, trying to prevent Hu Peiyu from forming a pill, or even severely injuring Liu Qingchan to maintain the situation. Unfortunately, this is just your delusion. Face the reality, Yang Dao Brother!"
Yang Wangyuan was like a gambler who had lost all his money. His eyes suddenly turned red and he said fiercely: "Brother Shen Dao, as long as you support me in doing this this time, I will listen to your plan in the future. If this battle fails, I will go back After that, prepare to implement your strategy. Strengthen the walls and clear the country, move the monks to Nanlu Pavilion, and the future alliance between our two sects will be entirely up to you."
Seeing Yang Wangyuan like this, Shen Chenzhou also knew that this person would never admit defeat until he lost everything. He knew clearly that Yang Wangyuan had a high self-esteem, and he rashly provoked a war to suppress the development of Qingxuan Sect. In the end, he shot himself in the foot. In less than a hundred years, the Hongshan Sect has reached the edge of decline. How can he accept this contrast? In the end, all adventures are blocked, which is his last chance. Don't let him He was unwilling to take this gamble.
