The discussions between Lin Xiao, Luo Mingjun and He Mu can be said to have determined the development direction of more than a dozen countries in the southwestern tip of Nanzhou. This is also the biggest event in the Three Kingdoms in the next two hundred years.
After discussing for two days and finalizing the details, the three countries formed a secret alliance. This contract cannot be announced for the time being. Their ambitions are too great. Once it is announced, it will cause great waves.
It can be said that the strength of the Three Kingdoms after the alliance has surpassed that of the Song Kingdom. This power is enough to cause waves in the entire South Continent. The other countries may not let them do what they want, so they have to hide it.
In the following days, a public covenant was announced. This covenant also brought with it the Danyang Sect and other major forces under the overlord sects of the three countries, which also included some agreements on mutual trade and exchanges.
It cannot be said that these agreements are unimportant, but the effects do not appear so quickly. They are formed slowly and are extremely beneficial to the long-term development of a sect and a country.
After inspecting the Qianluo Kingdom, Lin Xiao was invited by Luo Mingjun to go all the way north to the Xiluo Kingdom for inspection and travel. The Xiluo Kingdom has a longer history than the Qianluo Kingdom and is more prosperous. Whether it is the development of Lingshan or the mortal population, It is better than Wu Kingdom and Qianluo Kingdom.
This result is also because the Xiluo Kingdom has no contact with the barbaric wilderness and has other countries as a barrier. Therefore, in the several beast tide wars over the past thousand years, their losses have been extremely low. The mortals did not suffer a lot of losses, and the monks only supported the Qianluo Kingdom. Even if they die, even the last locust plague did not affect them, and it will be difficult for them not to prosper.
"Headmaster Lin, you have also seen the situation of our country, Xiluo. Our country, Xiluo, is surrounded by other countries. There is no danger of wilderness for the time being, but it has also restricted the development of our country. I don’t know if Leader Lin can There is a place for guidance”
"Isn't what we are discussing the way out for the West Luo Kingdom?"
"That's true. It's just that we are separated by the Qianluo Kingdom. It is quite difficult to transport materials and troops. If more than 100,000 troops are sent out at one time, our transportation will be greatly hindered."
"So what does Fellow Daoist Luo mean?"
"Annexing the country, annexing the remaining small countries next to the West Luo Kingdom, and then exchanging a territory with the West Luo Kingdom, you can directly enter the wilderness, or you can also go to the Wei Kingdom in the west."
"Ahem, Fellow Daoist Luo, Weiguo is not good enough."
"Why not"
"The country of Wei is mine"
"ah"
"Weiguo suffered from the assassination disaster two hundred years ago, and it was our Wuguo who came to help. Therefore, the current people in power in Weiguo have become vassals of our Wuguo, and they send huge benefits to me every year, so Weiguo is mine."
Lin Xiao explained that Lin Xiao did not dare to say that the Wei Kingdom was directly under the control of the Tiansheng Sect. This would make the Xilao Kingdom very uneasy, so he just said it was a vassal.
"I see, Master Lin's methods are so powerful that we didn't even know about them for two hundred years."
"Forgive me, Fellow Daoist Luo. I know this was quite inappropriate, but the situation at the time was complicated. The Thorn God had a deep hatred for us. In order to eradicate the root cause, we had no choice but to do it."
"Then it seems that the only option is to wait for the ancestors of the Yu Kingdom to die and then annex the Yu Kingdom."
Luo Mingjun replied, among the countries in Nanzhou, there is a guarantee of security if there is an ancestor of Lingguang. Although an ancestor is unable to expand, if an enemy attacks, he still has the strength to pull an enemy to death. This is not very powerful for Nanzhou. It is a very unworthy thing for all countries, so generally speaking, they will not easily annex a country where Ancestor Lingguang is in charge.
But they can wait. The lifespan of the Lingguang Ancestor is also limited, and cultivating a new Lingguang Ancestor is not a simple matter. Once there is a gap, it is an opportunity for the surrounding countries. Daogang faces Lingguang, even if it self-destructs, the threat is limited. .
"This is also a way, but there is another option available."
"Master Lin is talking about the teleportation array?"
"That's right, if the West Luo Kingdom annexes the remaining countries and gains access to the wilderness, it will also have to bear the pressure of the wilderness, so setting up a teleportation array is also a good solution."
"We have also thought about this, but we cannot refine the teleportation array. In the entire world of immortal cultivation, except for the major sects in Central Continent, the teleportation array is basically monopolized by Yunxiao and Tianxiao sects. From our Ganluo Kingdom to the Wilderness, The distance is no less than 50,000 miles, so I’m afraid we need a medium-range teleportation array, which costs a lot of money.”
"Then it depends on Fellow Daoist Luo's choice. The teleportation array and the annexation of the rest of the country have their own pros and cons. Although the teleportation array is expensive to build, it is also fast. When the time comes, the teleportation port will be larger, and hundreds of people can be teleported at once, and the army can be sent away in less than half a day. In the wilderness, whether it is rescue or evacuation, it is very convenient.”
"That's true. It seems that I will have to struggle a lot when the time comes."
Luo Mingjun nodded, and the two of them exchanged opinions along the way. The so-called authorities are obsessed with things. There are many things that you don't know are problematic, but others can see them.
After half a month of inspection in the West Luo Kingdom, Lin Xiao said goodbye to Luo Mingjun and led the team back to Taichong City. There was still a group of people here and he had to take them with him, but he didn't expect that the leader of the Sanqing Class didn't want to leave.
"Master Lin, after the unanimous decision of our Sanqing Class, we have decided to stay in Taichong City."
"Master Qing, please think carefully."
"If you think about it carefully, although there are many people listening to operas in Gongming City, the competition is also huge. The four major theater troupes cannot always succumb to Gongming City. They have to go out. This is what Director Lin told us before. We Don’t dare to forget”
"Just think about it clearly. You are not disciples of our Tiansheng Sect, and we have no right to force you to leave. However, Leader Qing, although Qianluo Country is good, it is not our Wu Country, and its atmosphere is not as open as our Wu Country. You have to deal with the difficulties well."
"Of course, thank you to Master Lin for your share of the Holy Sect that day..."
"Master Qing wants me, Tiansheng Sect, to withdraw from our shares?"
"I don't dare, I don't dare, it's just that Tai Chongmen also wants to take a share, this..."
"Master Qing can do whatever he wants. We will leave in three days. We just need to make a decision before leaving. I'm tired."
"Yes, Master Lin, I'm resigning."
Leader Qing quickly retreated, while Jia Mengran on the side looked extremely angry and said, "Master, this Leader Qing is extremely stupid. Without the endorsement of our Tiansheng Sect, how can he get the attention of Qianluo Kingdom? If we withdraw our shares, we will have to In a few years, this Sanqing class will be called Qianluo class."
"It doesn't matter, this person needs to be self-aware, and I understand him. He has to bear all the reasons himself."
"Then are we going to suffer a loss like this?"
"If you can't bear the loss, tell the disciples under me that if they want to withdraw their shares, then they should settle the accounts carefully. It's not ours, so don't take a penny. It's ours, and you won't get a penny."
Lin Xiao shook his head. It's okay to walk to higher places. The dozens of people in the Sanqing Class are also monks. They need a lot of resources to eat, practice, and support their children and future generations.
Nowadays, the opera market in Qianluo Kingdom is completely blank. They will naturally be very popular when they enter here. There is no competition from the three groups in Gongming City. However, their consequences can be expected. Jia Mengran is right. If there is no Tiansheng Sect as a backer, , their Sanqing class is nothing, they will have to change their surname to Qianluo in a few years.
Of course, Lin Xiao will not stop it. Everyone can choose their own future, as long as you are able to bear it, it will be too late to regret by then.
"I understand, Master, we will settle this account clearly."
"You don't need to worry about such small things. I have gained a lot from this trip to Qianluo Kingdom. After staying for a few days, we can leave."
"What did Master gain?"
"You will know in the future. After you go back, practice hard and strive to break through the spiritual light as soon as possible. The people I have now are not enough."
"It's coming soon, Master. It won't be long before I reach the twelfth floor of Daogang. Master, can you leave me a copy of the Lingming Pill?"
"Haha, in exchange for merit points, there are a lot of them. I forgot to tell you that your senior sister Yu Tianxiang has broken through the spiritual light."
"Ah, so fast"
"Why, do you regret what happened back then? Let Yu Tianxiang break through Daogang first?"
"To say that I have no regrets is to lie to Master, but Senior Sister Tianxiang has compensated us a lot over the years, so I won't resent her."
"As long as you understand, the importance of practicing a religion is to be down-to-earth, one step at a time. The foundation is the most important. Just like me, Master, those who cultivated higher than me in the past and practiced earlier than me have been surpassed by me in many ways. So don’t rush”
"Yes, Master's teachings are correct. I am not in a hurry. Now that Wu Kingdom is stable, I can practice slowly."
"That's it, practice hard after you go back, and when you get tired of it, go out for a walk."
Lin Xiao nodded. None of the four apprentices made him worry, so Lin Xiao was quite satisfied. He did not raise such a playboy.
Three days later, Lin Xiao and his party set off. Not everyone in the Sanqing class stayed. Some people still had family members in Gongming City and did not want to stay in the Qianluo Kingdom. Some people felt that they were unfamiliar with the place in the Qianluo Kingdom. It was not as good as being in Gongming City. Some people pursued more exquisite performing arts and felt that they could not improve their level in Taichong City and did not stay. Therefore, only about half of the people in Sanqing Class stayed.
The Tiansheng Sect's shares were also withdrawn, the accounts were settled, and there was no further relationship between the two. Taichongmen directly became a shareholder and became the big boss of Sanqing Class.
In the past few months, Taichong City has already established a complete theater. The Sanqing Troupe has at least two performances every day in the past few months. As long as they are not tired of the existing dramas, they can live a happy life, but what happens in the future depends on their development.
A few days later, Lin Xiao returned to the Tiansheng Sect. At this time, the influence of the beast tide had basically subsided. There were no major events in the Wu Kingdom. Each sect was quietly developing its strength. When the sect's affairs were settled, Lin Xiao took the A batch of goods went to Baiyu City.
Li Muxue also came back first. Li Muxue had been away from Baiyu City for only about a year, and it did not have a major impact on Baicheng Tower's business. Baicheng Tower was still prosperous.
However, Lin Xiao felt that it was time for Li Muxue to change her position and go to a better place to develop. Although White Jade City is good, its achievements are limited. (To be continued)
