Within half a month, the monsters retreated from the Chen Kingdom. Behind the monsters, there were still many monks watching, but since the monsters began to retreat, no one attacked the monsters for fear of angering the purple-eyed monster king.
No one can bear the back-and-forth.
This time the human race suffered heavy losses, millions of mortals died tragically, the monks suffered losses as high as 70,000 to 80,000, and the barbaric defense line was pushed back about a thousand miles.
Originally, there was a buffer zone between humans and wild animals three to four hundred miles south from the Black Wind Valley, but now there is a buffer zone outside the Black Wind Valley, and there are many monsters and beasts all over this area.
"The demonic beasts that Chen Guo withdrew from are at least 30,000 to 400,000 yuan. The loss of demonic beasts this time is only about 30,000 to 400,000 yuan, and most of them are expendable demonic beasts. It will be difficult to open up various countries."
Lu Yan monitored the whole journey and also counted the number of monsters. At the beginning, the Purple-Eyed Demon King strictly ordered the five demon kings to each condemn 300,000 monsters to follow them to fight. However, the monsters did not know how to count. There must not be 1.5 million. It is estimated that there are not more than 1.5 million monsters.
There are still a hundred and twenty-three, and more than half of them focus on attacking Chen State. Chen State should have killed about 200,000 monsters, and the remaining 200,000 were wiped out in various places.
But even so, for the army of monsters, the losses are nothing. Those monsters with a large number of races can be replenished in just a few years. The key is that the monsters of level 4 and above are the focus.
But this time, it is estimated that the number of monsters above level 4 will not be more than ten killed, and not a single level 5 monster king died. This made Lu Yan feel that the death of Chen Qingyang and Yun Qingfeng was really a pity. If they had this
Determined to self-destruct, why not find the fifth-level demon king? We can definitely bring someone to die together. In this case, the pressure on various countries will be reduced a lot, and the purple-eyed demon king will also suffer heavy losses. After all, there are only nine fifth-level demon kings under him.
Just one.
After sending the monster gifts out of the country, Lu Yan went back. At this time, the war had just ended, and there were still countless things to deal with, especially since the Heavenly Eclipse Kingdom had also suffered a disaster, so the previous blackmail matters would not be so easy to solve.
.
Shortly after Lu Yan and others left, a distortion of the void suddenly appeared on an ordinary hilltop in the wilderness buffer zone. The space rippled like water, and then a dozen people appeared in place.
"Sir, the beast tide has passed, what should we do?"
"Don't worry, wait until I understand the situation."
Ling Lingyi shook his head, and then used the Spiritual Sound Jade Book to convey the news. It didn't take long for countless messages to come in, all of which were the spies he had left in various places in advance, as well as the support from the Assassin God Headquarters. He also understood the results of the beast tide.
.
"The Chen Kingdom was destroyed, the Heavenly Eclipse Kingdom was severely damaged, and the Lu Kingdom was unharmed. Unfortunately, there was no success."
Ling Lingyi secretly thought that it was a pity that such a brilliant plan was messed up by Chen Qingyang and Yun Qingfeng. If they did not blow themselves up or find the purple-eyed demon king to blow themselves up, then the beast tide would definitely continue, and both the Tian Eclipse Kingdom and the Lu Kingdom would
Being dragged into the quagmire, his plan can only be said to be half successful.
"There is news from the headquarters that Qi, Qin, Song and other countries in Nanzhou are waiting for us to appear so that they can catch us all, so the plan is going to change."
"Sir, how to change"
"The few of you who showed up in Baoliu immediately disguised themselves and lurked in places where no one knew about you. They took away the backbone of the Sihai firm and continued to set up a firm to cover them. These thousands of casual cultivators were scattered throughout the Chen country.
I will occupy the territory, and the Assassin God will support them secretly until the follow-up plan is launched."
Ling Lingyi replied, Chen Guo left such a large territory and it must not be wasted. They cannot occupy it, but these casual cultivators can. These thousands of people have been infected by his life and death alphabet poison, and their lives are all controlled by him.
In their hands, what is the difference between the territory they occupy and the territory occupied by the Thorn God?
"Sir, our whereabouts have been exposed before, will there be any problems with these thousands of people?"
"Don't worry, it won't happen. The Chen Kingdom has been destroyed, and the remaining forces cannot hold on to one-tenth of its territory. In the past few decades, the Chen Kingdom has been in great chaos. There are no small but powerful casual cultivators from all over the world who don't want to occupy Lingshan.
Just let our people sneak in."
"Yes, sir"
"You can arrange this matter. I'm leaving. Now many old ghosts are staring at me."
Ling Ling waved his hand and flew away quickly. Now he is the most hated one. It can be said that this beast wave was completely planned by him. There are countless people who want him to die. He has to go back.
To avoid the limelight, let the headquarters replace a spiritual monk to come to Nanzhou to handle the matter.
········
"What's going on now? The beast tide has receded for seven days. Where is the person who stabbed the god?"
"Don't ask me, how do I know? I have sent three to four hundred people out in Chen Guo, and I haven't found any clues at all. Just ask fellow Taoist Wang."
"There are people from Tianyun State, Chunyang Palace, Cang State, and even Song State who are looking for it, but they can't find it. The assassin god is like evaporating from the world, but this is also their old method. It's not surprising, Master Lin, you have always been resourceful.
, don’t you want to say more?”
Wang Dao turned to Lin Xiao and said, at this time, the beast tide had receded for seven days, but there was no news about the Thorn God, who was waiting for everyone. All the major forces were looking for them, but no one could be found.
"People are definitely alive. They can't die in the tide of beasts. They can't waste so much effort and get nothing. I have a plan to confirm their existence."
"Oh, Master Lin, can you tell me if you have any ideas?"
"Chen Qing Valley has been destroyed, and only tens of thousands of people are alive in the entire Chen Kingdom. Moreover, most of the senior monks have died in the battle, and there is no ancestor Lingguang to take charge. Now the territory of Chen Kingdom is ownerless. The Tiansheng Sect spies reported that there are already
Rogue cultivators from various countries have begun to enter the Chen Kingdom and occupy territory. I am wondering if the people who assassinate the gods will mix in with these rogue cultivators, because I remember there is a saying that says, a basin of water wants to hide it best.
That means pouring it into a river.
So we in Tianyun Prefecture also try to occupy some territory. We don’t have to come forward directly, but support some puppets to come forward. If the other party really does this, they will definitely take action. We will just watch the show later."
“This is a good idea”
Everyone's eyes lit up. It didn't matter whether they stabbed the gods or not. The key was the territory. No one would think that the territory was too big. Only with territory can you have resources and strength.
"Headmaster Lin is right. As for the matter of this territory, I don't know how to occupy it. Should I occupy it for myself, or should I do it the same way as before? We as a whole in Tianyun Prefecture will make the decision and we will work together to do it."
"Take it for yourself. Whoever has the ability will eat it. What do you think?"
"No, there are many talented people among the casual cultivators, and the strength of some casual cultivator teams is not low. Our focus is on our own territory. If we have fewer people, we can't occupy it. If we have more people, it's not cost-effective. It's better to use the entire sky
Yunzhou is better overall”
"It is good for Tianyun Prefecture as a whole, but the benefits are also low. What power can those small sects contribute?"
"Otherwise, we can just leave those small sects aside this time, and just use the four sects of Danyang Sect, Tiansheng Sect, Hongshan Sect, and Tianhai Sect to join forces. If our family creates a Zifu, there will be a lot of people."
"What about the Shanhe Sect? Don't you want to join him?"
"I have to think about this. The Shanhe Sect has always been honest since its surrender, but the previous hatred cannot be easily offset. There are still many people inside who hate us."
Wang Dao replied that now Tianyun Prefecture both trusts and is wary of the Shanhe Sect. After all, the situation of the Shanhe Sect is very complicated. There are some who really want to mix with Tianyun Prefecture, and there are also those who are hostile. At the beginning, many sects in Ninghe Prefecture were...
He died at the hands of Tianyunzhou.
"Senior Wang, the affairs of the Shanhe Sect need to be dealt with. The method is nothing more than pulling one faction to fight against the other. We will beat whoever hates us, and we will support whoever is close to us. This time we can also count as a share of the Shanhe Sect, okay?"
"Okay, I will talk to some people from the Shanhe Sect. This is their last chance. If you can't move them by giving them free benefits, then don't blame us for being cruel."
"Okay, now that the direction has been decided, let's talk about how to distribute the benefits."
"Five families, everyone contributes the same manpower and material resources and shares them equally."
"Yes, we need to occupy the territory, but the key is to use it to penetrate into the Chen Kingdom and find clues to the Assassin God. Therefore, the personnel must be capable, and the puppet families we support should be ignored. We will send two Zifus and two hundred monks from each family to start
The pulse and condensation pulse must be matched well before you have the strength to fight them."
"With four purple mansions and a thousand monks, one third-level spiritual mountain is not enough?"
"The three third-level spiritual mountains should not be too far apart, but should be closer. Then the three spiritual mountains must unite and form an open alliance. With our support behind them, there should be no worries."
"Okay, three third-level spiritual mountains, even if they are not operated very much, they will still have an income of 200,000 to 300,000 yuan a year, and they will not lose money."
Everyone nodded. The mountain gates here are all third-level. However, the mountain gates will invest huge manpower and material resources, with an income of two to three hundred thousand a year. Extensive management will be much worse, but it will not be very small. At least the entire operation is
Making money.
"Then let's do it. Anyway, the troops haven't withdrawn yet. In the name of investigating the monsters and the thorn god, we will take them out to scare the casual cultivators and pave the way for occupying Lingshan. There are many people eyeing this piece of fat.
I estimate that Chunyang Palace will also take action, and other states and counties will also be interested, but as long as we do not occupy those Lingshan Mountains in the north of Chen State, the other states and counties will not be our opponents."
"Okay, I'm going to dispatch the troops right now. You guys come up with a plan quickly. You have to make a decision about who the puppet family wants to support. The sooner the better."
Lin Xiao nodded. This is all for profit. We must be decisive, otherwise we will have to fight when the casual cultivators occupy Lingshan. Although the casual cultivators will not be their opponents, they are still afraid of encountering a tough opponent.
Soon, Lin Xiao led more than a thousand people from the Tiansheng Sect out of the Black Wind Valley, while the Danyang Sect led 3,000 people out of Siming Mountain. The two armies joined forces, and there were more than 4,000 people.
The cultivator group can't stop it, let alone two Dao Gang cultivators.
More than 4,000 people dispersed many casual cultivators in the name of investigating wild beasts and thorn gods, and finally settled in an area. A month later, when the army left, three nearby third-level spiritual mountains were occupied.
Even the mountain-protecting formation has been set up, and the casual cultivators knew what was going on at a glance and didn't come to fight for it.
