"Oh, if I tell you that the two immortal states of Yunxi and Guzha have been captured and our coalition forces are splitting their troops towards Haozhang 72nd Company City, will you still stick to your position?"
As soon as You Zhong said this, not only Zhang Lei, but everyone in the hall of the City Lord’s Mansion changed drastically.
Everyone had a shocked expression on their faces.
"Yunxi Xianzhou and Gusha Xianzhou are the territory under the jurisdiction of Haoran Pavilion, the top rank of the righteous path. How could it be captured so quickly?
The little ghost from the Ghost Sect, don’t be here to deceive the public, think that such fake news can deceive us?"
A master of the City Lord's Mansion immediately shouted out anger.
Others also questioned.
If You Zhong was talking about other immortal states, they might have believed that the army of evil paths was indeed coming in full force.
Moreover, Haozhang Seventy-Two Liancheng is far away from the battlefield, and the news is not as good as You Zhong Lingtong from the Ghost Sect.
But in the deep hinterland of the two great immortal states of Yunxi and Guzha, there are masters and masters of Haoran Pavilion and various defensive formations, which are almost impossible to be broken.
Zhang Lei calmly asked, "Your Madam You, what evidence does this news support you?"
You Zhong sneered and didn't say anything, but just clapped his hands.
Behind him, a ghost cultivator walked forward, holding a black box in both hands. When the box opened, the smell of blood filled the entire hall.
Everyone was shocked when they saw what was placed in the box.
Because what was placed inside was a bloody head! "It is the most respected Taoist priest in Yunxi Xianzhou!"
After Zhang Teng recognized the identity of the head, he couldn't help but gasp.
The ghost cultivator of Youzhong's secret test said: "Three months ago, this old man from the bull's nose was secretly assassinated by our evil sect masters. After that, the righteous man of Yunxi Immortal Sect was defeated like a mountain. Guess how long did you resist?"
The senior officials of the City Lord's Mansion were speechless.
"Lord Zhang, do you want to listen to another more important news?"
While saying this, You Zhong signaled his subordinates to put away the box, "Oh, maybe I don't need to tell you personally. It will be spread here in three months."
As soon as he finished speaking, a confidant behind Zhang Lei suddenly changed his expression slightly, and he approached Zhang Lei and sent a few words.
As You Zhong expected, Zhang Lei was completely uneasy after hearing this.
"My father, what big thing happened?"
Zhang Teng had a faint premonition of something bad.
Zhang Lei tried his best to suppress the storm in his heart, and after a while he answered: "Haoran Pavilion suddenly announced his withdrawal from the righteous alliance."
"What?"
The audience was shocked.
"Why?"
Zhang Teng couldn't understand at all.
Zhang Lei smiled bitterly and shook his head. If he knew why, he wouldn't have been so shocked.
But as long as he had a little guess, he could guess that Haoran Pavilion must have been threatened by the demon clan for some major reason, and he had no choice but to withdraw for any fatal handle that the other party had to take.
"Lord Zhang, can we talk now?"
While You Zhong was talking, he played with a tea cup in his hand.
Zhang Lei seemed to be deflated, and said in a weak way: "What do you want to talk about when Mr. You?"
"I know you have just agreed to join forces with the Zhengdao Sects to set up a large defense formation outside the city; in this way, the Haozhang Seventy-Two Liancheng can become the supply point for the Zhengdao Alliance. Now I want you to cooperate inside and outside. When our coalition forces attack, you will send your confidant masters to launch a sneak attack on the Zhengdao Sects behind your back, and catch them off guard."
After hearing You Zhong's words, Zhang Teng vetoed angrily: "No, this will kill many people!"
"Teng'er, there is no place for you to speak here, go out!"
Zhang Lei immediately shouted softly.
Zhang Teng wanted to say something, but a monk of high seniority pulled him out.
Zhang Lei breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and looked back at You Zhong: "Your Madam You, we can promise you the conditions you have made, but you must also promise me something."
"I know what you want to say. As long as you complete the tasks of internal and external cooperation, your family will be recognized by the five evil sects. The five evil sects will guarantee you to be in charge of the 72 consecutive cities forever."
You Zhong's promise made Zhang Lei completely relieved.
However, You Zhong's next words were filled with yin energy.
"By the way, I heard that there is a body refining genius born with a yin cow body..." "Young Master You, you are talking about one of my nephews named Zhang Zhou."
Zhang Lei suddenly felt something was wrong when he heard You Zhong's tone.
"I happened to need to refine a Taiyin corpse recently. Your nephew's physique is excellent for corpse refining materials."
As You Zhong spoke, the cold and cold air caused the temperature of the entire hall to drop sharply.
"This..." Zhang Lei scolded You Zhong ten thousand times in his heart, and felt very humiliated, but he made a decision without hesitation.
After all, this is related to the fate of the entire Zhang family.
...A day later, Haozhang Seventy-Two Liancheng City went east ten miles above a certain mountain range.
Chen Xuan, a dozen casual cultivators and some disciples from different righteous sects were walking along the upper path to a wide platform on the top of the mountain.
Zhang Ling, a genius of Lingjing Sect, stood on the edge of the cliff on the top of the mountain platform.
