The west peak of Baichi Mountain is larger than Han Li imagined.
There is not only an ancient temple built on the entire peak, but also a dozen large and small stone pavilions, where groups of immortal cultivators are already having long conversations.
Of course, outside the pavilion and the temple, there were also a few monks walking back and forth.
It seems that there are already anxious people arriving early for this Baichi Mountain gathering.
Han Li looked over the top of the peak for a while, then circled around and landed in a remote corner of the peak.
Then Han Li took Qu Hun and casually walked towards several nearby stone pavilions.
With Han Li's powerful spiritual consciousness, he could clearly hear the contents of the monks' conversation in the stone pavilion in a short time.
One of them, a stone pavilion where four immortal cultivators were having a long conversation, came into Han Li's eyes.
Han Li listened for a moment, and what he was talking about was the battle between the seven sects of the Yue Kingdom and the Demonic Way. He couldn't help but feel refreshed, and walked over without hesitation.
"With this huge defeat against the Demonic Way, not only were the six factions of the Yue Kingdom forced to flee their homeland, but even our two countries, Yuanwu and Zijin, will face disaster in the future. Now we can see whether the Demonic Way will attack our Yuanwu first,
Let’s attack Zijin.” The pale middle-aged man among the four said with a sigh.
"Yes, in the last war, although the strength of the six sects was greatly damaged, 50% to 60% of the monks from the two countries who came to help were also killed! This time, the Tianxing Sect and other immortal sects will be in dire straits!" Another man, who was in his twenties, said
The young man took pleasure in his misfortune and answered.
After hearing what the young man said, the two other old men among the other three looked as usual and had no reaction. But the middle-aged man who had just started to speak couldn't help but smile bitterly, and he opened his mouth to say something else.
But at this moment, someone else's voice came from the side.
"I'm afraid that although the Tianxing Sect and other big sects are in dire straits, the lives of us casual cultivators and immortal cultivating families will become even more difficult. What people in the demonic path pay attention to is the law of the jungle and the strong. Then we won't be as relaxed as we are today.
I'm at ease." Han Li walked over slowly, but the middle-aged man's wry smile revealed his original intention.
When the four people heard that there was an outsider nearby, they were startled at first and immediately fell silent.
But after realizing that Han Li's cultivation level was not visible, several people showed a hint of uneasiness and stood up to salute Han Li respectfully. The middle-aged man even hurriedly tried to excuse the young man and said:
"Senior, Nephew Yu Xian just said it casually, but he didn't mean any disrespect to the various factions. Don't be offended if you go back to senior!"
These people actually mistook Han Li for a high-level monk from some immortal sect in Yuanwu Kingdom.
The young man's expression also became tense.
"Haha, fellow Taoists, don't get me wrong. I'm just a casual cultivator! I just made a casual comment." Han Li smiled and explained gently.
After hearing what Han Li said, several people felt relieved. Although they did not know whether Han Li's identity was true or false, it was clear that the other party did not pursue the meaning of his rash words just now.
So under the respectful greetings of several people, Han Li also sat down at the stone table in the pavilion.
"Senior, it's an honor for me and the younger generation to come here. But how could I participate in such a level of communication with my senior's cultivation?" The red-faced old man, who had the most advanced cultivation among the four, asked a little cautiously.
It's no wonder that this person was so surprised. You should know that small local gatherings like Baichi Mountain are generally difficult to attract foundation-building monks. If high-level monks communicate, there will naturally be higher-level gatherings.
"Some time ago, I have been practicing in a barren mountain not far from here. Not long ago, I heard the news that our country's monks were defeated in the Yue Kingdom, and I felt that there was going to be a big change in the world of immortality, so I went out to find out the news. A few days ago
Do you fellow Taoists have the latest news about the Demonic Way and the Yue Kingdom?" Han Li said in an understated tone.
After hearing what Han Li said, the four people looked at each other for a while, but immediately three of them looked at the other skinny old man.
"When it comes to being well-informed, of course I have to count Brother Ding. After all, the Ding family has many secular industries directly opened in Yue!" The red-faced old man laughed dryly and said lightly.
The other two people also agreed in unison, which made Han Li's eyes flash with strange color.
When the old man surnamed Ding saw this, a trace of embarrassment appeared on his face, and he had no choice but to say:
"Our descendants of the Ding family in the country of Yue have indeed recently reported some of the latest developments in the country of Yue to the family. Originally, the family did not want these news to spread to the outside world, but since they are all close friends of Ding, this senior also wanted to
If you know something, let me tell you a little bit! However, please don’t let it out easily.”
After hearing what the old man surnamed Ding said, the other three people couldn't help but cheer up and said yes again and again. Han Li also nodded slightly.
So, the old man coughed lightly and said slowly:
"I just received the news a few days ago that the country of Yue is now in chaos. Although the demonic way has defeated the coalition forces of the six sects, there are still many monks who have retreated from the six sects and have not left the country of Yue. Instead, they rely on the terrain to continue to fight.
The people who attacked the Demonic Path heard that there were still several monks in the Alchemy Stage who had not evacuated, which made the people in the Demonic Path a little busy and exhausted. After all, the monks in the Alchemy Stage were not that easy to deal with. In addition, the six sects
Having taken root in the Yue Kingdom for many years, its potential power is still quite large, so it is still a bit tricky for the Demonic Dao to take over the Yue Kingdom’s world of immortality.”
"And the immortal cultivating families in the Yue Kingdom are now divided into three attitudes. One kind saw the defeat of the six sects, and immediately defected and voluntarily submitted to the Six Demonic Sects. The other kind was too close to the six sects, and was afraid that the demonic sect would be liquidated.
Account, they simply evacuated the country of Yue like the six factions. The last family is still in the wait-and-see stage, ready to see the situation before deciding."
"As for the seven sects that have occupied the important areas of the sect for many years, I heard that except for the Hidden Moon Sect and the Giant Sword Sect, which have not yet been conquered by the Six Demonic Sects, the other four sects have been completely conquered. However, it is said that the things captured are very few, and most of them are
All the rare items were taken away by the evacuated disciples of the six sects."
"In my opinion, the Demonic Way cannot stabilize the Yue Kingdom for a day, and they will not attack our country or Zijin. After all, no matter how many people they have, if they occupy two small countries and a medium-sized country at once, they may not be able to take care of them.
That’s why there is nothing we can do to deal with those six sect monks who keep causing trouble.”
The old man slowly said the above words and revealed some of his own opinions.
"Brother Ding, how long do you think the magic way can give us a breathing space? Can the various factions in our country still resist each other's attacks?" The red-faced old man on the side couldn't help but interjected and asked.
"It's hard to say? After all, what I know is only some superficial information. I'm afraid only the top leaders of each faction know what the real situation is." The old man surnamed Ding shook his head and said, taking a peek.
Han Li glanced at him.
Obviously, he still believed that Han Li was a monk from a certain sect in his country, so his words were somewhat veiled.
Then, the old man surnamed Ding seemed not to want to continue talking about related issues, so he suddenly smiled and told something that surprised Han Li.
"Due to the hasty evacuation this time, the six Yue sects all adopted the method of cutting off the tail of a gecko, taking away only the elite disciples with better qualifications, leaving many other disciples in the dark and sacrificed.
. The most ruthless people here are said to be the senior officials of Huang Maple Valley. In order to allow their true confidants to escape from the Yue Kingdom safely, they actually sacrificed two batches of disciples in a row. This was almost all the monks in Huang Maple Valley except for the evacuated disciples.
Tsk tsk, the method is really amazing!"
Although the old man spoke carelessly, Han Li's heart suddenly sank after hearing this, and his expression changed slightly.
Fortunately, no one else dared to stare at Han Li closely, so no one noticed his strange look.
"Fellow Daoist Ding, you said that two groups of disciples were sacrificed in Huang Maple Valley. What happened? I'm very interested!" Han Liqiang suppressed the shock in his heart and asked calmly.
"Haha, since the senior asked, the junior naturally told the truth. The thing is like this. I heard that as soon as the senior officials of the Yue Kingdom received the news of the defeat at the front, they immediately came up with a trick to escape. They first let the people inside the door escape.
A group of disciples evacuated first, but secretly leaked this news to the spies of the Demon Dao, saying that these disciples were the elites of their Yellow Maple Valley, and brought with them a large amount of spiritual stone raw materials and other properties. The pursuers of the Demon Dao were completely attracted. At the same time,
Another group of disciples who were kept in the dark were left inside the door, allowing them to use the large formation to form a confrontation with the remaining people in the demonic path. With these two groups of disciples, they attracted all the enemy's attention.
, the senior management of Yellow Maple Valley asked their true confidants and elite disciples to retreat from the opposite direction with their thousands of years of savings."
"I heard that although the number of people who safely evacuated from Yellow Maple Valley was the smallest, they took the easiest way among the six factions to evacuate. Although the other five factions concentrated their efforts to retreat together, they were still being overtaken by the pursuers one after another.
, fought many battles, and a lot of property fell into the hands of the devil. This matter was tricked by the devil, so it has been widely spread in the Yue Kingdom's immortal world." The old man did not dare to neglect to tell Han
He told it immediately.
"Oh! That's what happened. Those abandoned Huang Maple Valley disciples are really stupid!" Han Li said in a low voice without changing his expression.
