The desert, a thousand miles outside Tiandao City, is surrounded by mountains. At this time, the desert has been basically eliminated. Most areas have become oases. A few areas have been improved by monks, and they are no different from other places.
Green grass and lush trees.
Of course, there are very few such places. Basically, only the territories of big forces in the desert have this kind of territory. The rest of the places are dominated by oases and grasslands. For this reason, the desert spends a lot of money every year to maintain these oases. They need to come from other places.
Bring water over.
There are many mountains within a radius of 5,000 miles of Tiandao City. These are the territories occupied by the top leaders of Tiandao Sect, who guard Tiandao City like soldiers. Similarly, Tiandao Sect will also give them very preferential treatment, such as those in Tiandao City.
Shops, so that they would not have to rely on their humble spiritual veins to survive.
The Zhang family is one of them. The ancestor of the Zhang family, Zhang Fu, was one of the masters of the Tiandao Sect in the Golden Stage. He was one of the controllers of Sifang City back then. After joining the Tiandao Sect, he quickly cleared his name. After about a thousand years of reproduction, the Zhang family became the Tiandao Sect.
One of the most important forces.
However, today, the Zhang family welcomed an uninvited guest, that is, Zhong Linyu. Zhong Linyu was ordered by Yu to investigate the tragedy at Jingling Mountain in Xizhou. One of the culprits of this tragedy was Zhang Dong from the Zhang family, that is, the ancestor Zhang.
Although the Zhang family is an important force in the Tiandao Sect, Zhang Fu is not Yu's confidant, nor is he a thorn god. After the war between the two clans, the Zhang family also became one of the targets of Yu's restrictions and suppression. In addition, their clan members
There are so many, so life is not easy.
Especially for those who have no obvious qualifications, the family will not waste much resources to support them, so this leaves ordinary members of the Zhang family to make a living for themselves.
In the desert, whether it is Tiandao City or other places, there are always very few locations with rich oil and water, and they are not available at all. Therefore, ordinary monks like Zhang Dong have to find ways to obtain resources by themselves.
Zhang Dong has been traveling abroad for many years, and Xuan Jing has made a lot of money. However, he has a lot of wives and children and a lot of expenses. The little Xuan Jing he earns is not enough, so he can only take risks and take some crooked ways.
Zhang Dong had done things like murdering people and seizing treasures many times. He was lucky and succeeded every time. But what Zhang Dong didn't expect was that this time things got serious and he was found to be with him.
foot.
"Old Ancestor Zhang, I have made my words very clear. Please hand him over."
Zhong Lin was sitting in the main hall of the Zhang family with a carefree appearance. In the Tiandao Sect, his image had always been tough, unkempt, and looking above his head.
This has something to do with his personality. As one of Yu's few close confidants, and he has cultivated a large number of forces, he must be arrogant and arrogant. If he behaves modestly and politely, then even Yu will not trust him, because this kind of person,
There are often big plans.
"Elder Zhong, the sect leader promised me to give Zhang Dong a chance."
"Old Ancestor Zhang, you know better than me what's going on in the desert right now. Xizhou has blocked the border, and prices in Tiandao City have increased by 20%. If the blockade continues, everyone will have to drink from the northwest wind.
Besides, your Zhang family has many heirs, so it doesn’t matter if one of your side disciples dies. At worst, it’s just another one. Old Ancestor Zhang, Zhang Dong can’t be your illegitimate son, right?”
"Elder Zhong speaks carefully"
"Be careful, I don't have much patience. I have to rush to deal with other people. I have a quarter of an hour to hand over the person and leave. Otherwise, it won't be Zhong who comes next time, but someone else.
The sect's army is here, you can take care of it yourself."
Zhong Linyu cursed and issued his own threats. Without giving him any face, he directly told him that if he didn't surrender, the army would be encircled and suppressed, and then the Zhang family would be killed as well.
Zhang Fu looked gloomy and said nothing. Zhang Dong's matter had been found out a few months ago, and he even went to Yu to plead for mercy. At first, Yu promised to give Zhang Dong a chance, but now he regretted it.
This made Zhang Fu very angry. The family also needs to be cohesive. If a family disciple cannot be kept, what will the people below think of him? How can the Zhang family have any dignity?
"It seems that Patriarch Zhang is not ready to make friends with anyone anymore. Okay, Zhong is gone."
"Wait a minute"
"Why, Old Ancestor Zhang wants to keep me?"
"Come here, bring Zhang Dong up."
Zhang Fu said coldly that the Zhang family was unable to become enemies of the Tiandao Sect, but Yu defeated them back then. If they openly disobeyed the sect's orders, the Zhang family would really be unable to survive.
"Hey, this is right. Old Ancestor Zhang is indeed the pillar of the sect. I will make it clear to the sect leader after I go back. Old Ancestor Zhang understands righteousness and is a role model for monks of our generation."
Zhong Linyu said with a smile, but in Zhang Fu's eyes, his words were sarcastic, which made his eyes even more gloomy.
Zhong Linyu took Zhang Dong away, but Lian Xin had already sent people to surround the other nine small families. Lian Xin was Zhong Linyu's apprentice, and he acted extremely arrogantly. He directly had people break the mountain-protecting formations of the nine small families, and then forcibly removed them.
People took him away, and as for the compensation Zhong Linyu said, he didn't even mention a word.
After one arrest, Zhong Linyu arrested a total of more than fifty people. This was enough for a good deal. The rest of the people didn't matter. Zhong Linyu took them back to Tiandao Sect.
After Yu had people interrogate them, they were all sent to Jin State in Xizhou with their confessions. The monks from Jinglingshan beheaded all the more than fifty people and hung them on the gate of Fangshi. This was the end of the matter.
·········
In Xizhou, Zhao Wuji of the State of Zhao received a letter from Ye Nanyu. Ye Nanyu wrote to Zhao Wuji in the name of Tiansheng Sect, with only one purpose, which is to continue to fight against the forces of the desert in an open and honest manner.
"Yue Huang, please read Ye Nanyu's letter. What do you think we should do?"
"Emperor Zhao, I think Tiansheng Sect is going to attack Tiandao Sect."
The Moon Emperor nodded and said, I believe she has finished reading. Zhao Wuji did not believe the people of other countries, but he absolutely believed in the Moon Emperor. The Moon Emperor was not only resourceful, but also had good connections with He Linxiao and was worthy of his trust.
"It is easy for Tiansheng Sect to deal with Tiandao Sect, there is no need to go to such trouble at all"
"Emperor Zhao doesn't know something. Lin Xiao is different from ordinary people. Lin Xiao has not shown up for hundreds of years, which is enough to prove that he doesn't want to take care of the sect's affairs. This time, I am afraid it is Ye Nanyu's own idea and they want to make meritorious deeds.
"
"Making meritorious service, what does the Tiansheng Sect want to do?"
"It's no surprise that they want to take over Lin Xiao's position, and Lin Xiao did it deliberately."
The Moon Emperor added that she was very good at power struggles, and she could tell at a glance that the Tiansheng Sect was unusual.
"Lin Xiao is young, not even in his prime. Why is he so anxious? These people's longevity is not as long as Lin Xiao's."
"You ask me, how do I know? Anyway, this is the situation now."
"Then what should we do"
"Just do as you are told. Haven't Zhao Huang seen the situation clearly over the years? Lin Xiao controls the entire order of the immortal world. Follow them, and you are right."
The Moon Emperor replied that the strength of the countries in Western Continent was very low and they had deep entanglements with the Tiansheng Sect. They had no choice but to cooperate with the Tiansheng Sect.
There are very few forces in the world of immortality who don't listen to Lin Xiao's command, and those who do are living extremely miserable lives. Xizhou has no choice in the face of such a big issue of right and wrong.
"But if the Tiansheng Sect doesn't start a war with the desert, then our Xizhou will be used as guns."
"Impossible, Lin Xiao is not that kind of person. Besides, what if they don't start a war? We Xizhou can just take the lead. We only need Ye Nanyu to restrain Yu. With our current strength, we have no chance of winning in the desert.
It’s not low, doesn’t Emperor Zhao want to regain the lost ground?”
The Moon Emperor shook his head and said, this kind of thing is child's play. If you say you won't help, you won't help. Besides, even if Nanzhou doesn't help, Xizhou will expel the desert forces.
Yu is ambitious and has great ambitions. Many people know this. Da Mo is not born with enough talent to allow Yu to use his skills, otherwise he would have soared into the sky.
And Yu had never heard of strengthening himself, but these people were suppressed by Lin Xiao. To the north was the impoverished Beizhou, to the east was Central Continent, and to the south was Xizhou. Everyone knew in which direction Tiandao Sect was developing.
Therefore, in order to curb the development of Tiandao Sect, Xizhou must take the lead. This has been done for hundreds of years. It doesn't matter if the attitude is tougher now.
As for the outbreak of a war, the Moon Emperor is not afraid. Xizhou is much stronger than the Desert. As long as someone restrains Yu, Xizhou's power can regain the lost ground and drive away the Desert monks.
"Okay, I will pass on the order and ask the border army to step up patrols to prevent the desert monks from coming over for smuggling. At the same time, I will also conduct an investigation on the desert merchants and I will never let them have an easy time."
"That's right, we can't do double-dealing, just follow Lin Xiao all the way to the dark side."
"Let's not talk about this anymore. How is the Moon Emperor's cultivation?"
"It has grown a lot and is not far from the Dongxuan stage. Where is Emperor Zhao?"
"I'm almost there, and I don't know who among you or me will be the first Dongxuan monk in Xizhou."
Zhao Wuji nodded. His cultivation has also increased over the years, and he is not far from Dongxuan. This is Xizhou's honor, being the first Dongxuan monk.
"It seems that we have put in a little effort. Tiansheng Sect has a lot of Dongxuan Stage, and the same is true for the Immortal Cultivation World. In the future, the Golden Body Stage will really be unusable in the Immortal Cultivation World."
The Moon Emperor shook his head and said, In the past, the Golden Body Stage was still very powerful. It was not a problem to dominate one side, and it was also possible to establish a country on its own. Unfortunately, it was infected by Lin Xiao, and his eyes were always on the whole world, and in the whole world, Dong
The Mysterious Stage is really nothing, let alone the Golden Body Stage.
The Golden Body Stage can still be regarded as ancestors in Xizhou, but it is nothing in the world. There are a lot of Supremes, so if they want to make their own voice on the stage of the world, they must have Dongxuan Stage cultivators.
