The defeat of Qing Nian meant that Black Water Tower's operations in Nanzhou and the Sirius Kingdom were completely failed. The Iron Lion, who had been chased by him for more than ten years, was actually capable of killing him, but he did not take action due to the threat of Tianxuan Sect.
This result gave Qing Nian a feeling of despair. He also knew that if he continued to pursue, Iron Lion would have to kill him, unless he could mobilize the Tianxuan Sect's large team or higher-level monks.
But this is impossible. Tianxuan Sect has its own rules of conduct. The pursuit of the Thorn God is just to give an account to the major sects in Central Continent and clear Liang Wendao's suspicion. It is impossible to go on an expedition to the Sirius Kingdom for his personal gain. And the high-level monks,
It was not something he could mobilize, so he could only run back to Tianxuan Sect in despair.
When Lin Xiao arrived at Shengyun City, he had already received news from Ye Xiao, and Qing Nian had also returned to Central Continent. This meant that the Tiansheng Sect was completely safe in the short term and there was no risk at all.
Zhang Qingxuan and Ah Qing are both in Shengyun City. They have been planning for several years to bring Ye Xiao back to Central Continent. The battle in the secret realm of Da'an City, coupled with the previous hunt for the assassin, has changed Ye Xiao's layout in Central Continent.
It was destroyed and all but a handful of spies were withdrawn.
Central Continent is a place that cannot be ignored in the development of Nanzhou sects, so Central Continent must be reorganized, and their future challenges will be even more severe.
"Blackwater Tower's defeat in Nanzhou is nothing. After all, we have been deploying in Nanzhou for many years, and the Sirius Kingdom has been on good terms with us, so this victory must not make us complacent.
This time we return to Central Continent, we must consider the situation of being an enemy of Blackwater Tower. According to our investigation of Qing Nian, this person is not a weak-willed person. On the contrary, he can be said to be an extremely excellent intelligence leader.
.
Tianxuan Sect’s influence radiates over a wide range, and we will inevitably have to deal with them in the future, so how to avoid being recognized by Blackwater Tower is a very critical point."
"This is indeed a key point that we need to pay attention to, so what I mean is to rotate personnel, transfer some personnel whose identities have been exposed to Nanzhou, and move Baiyu City, Xuanyue City, Luo Xinghai, Weiguo, Tian
The elite men and horses that Eclipse Kingdom has been waiting for are transferred to Central Continent, only in this way can it be safe."
"It is safe to do this, but it also consumes a lot of money. The spies in these places have been deployed for decades. How long will it take for the people transferred from Central Continent to adapt to this, and how long will it take for them to take over the things in their hands? They go to Central Continent
How long will it take, that’s all the question.”
"So today's meeting is to weigh the key points in this. How should we change it to minimize the loss? Chief, what do you think?"
"Night Owl, I have never directly intervened, and it is the same this time. You continue, I will only watch."
Lin Xiao shook his head. Although Night Owl was founded by him, Lin Xiao was not as professional as most of them, so Lin Xiao did not know how to micromanage.
"Okay, let's continue the meeting. Whether the layout of Central Continent is stable or urgent is actually very important. If you want to be stable, then change it slowly. It doesn't matter even if you have to pay some price. If you want to be urgent, then you have to take risks and continue.
Let those people go back and take over things immediately."
"Boss Ye, I think this is not a matter of urgency, but a matter of safety. The people we have gathered now are all monks who have cooperated with us for many years. They are trustworthy after many inspections. There are only so many in total.
, if the danger is too great and all of them are consumed, then how can the two thousand or two thousand people of our Tiansheng Sect support Ye Xiao's great cause?"
"I think we can make a compromise. Central Continent is so big, and Blackwater Tower will not always be at odds with us. We only need to change the troops within the radius of Blackwater Tower's influence. There is no need to change other places at all.
We have suffered heavy losses in Central Continent. Our Night Owl funds have not been rich in these years. If we rotate them all, the consumption will be too great. We cannot afford it at all. The South Tower should not give us any more funds."
"The sect's funds are also very tight now. There are more and more high-level monks in the sect. One Dao Gang can hold up to more than ten Zifus. With the consumption of hundreds of pulse-condensing monks, even if the South Head Tower can suppress the high-level monks,
The consumption of high-level monks is useless, it seems that we can only adopt a compromise method."
"Then let's discuss who should be sent to Xuanyang City to take charge. The person in charge of Xuanyang City is very critical. He must play a role in supervising Tianxuan Sect and Heishui Tower, and he must not be exposed."
Then Ye Nanyu and others began to discuss the specific arrangements. Lin Xiao did not ask a question, but just watched silently.
The meeting lasted for several days, and then orders were issued one after another. The Night Owl troops lurking in Shengyun City, after receiving funds and gathering their men, began to head towards their destination.
"Master, now our Night Owl is in a difficult situation. Ren Hongfeng died in battle, the fierce fire lurks, the eight-faced fox is idle, and the iron lion awaits punishment. Only Zhang Qingxuan, Ah Qing and I are left to support ourselves.
And I want to coordinate the planning in the sect. Zhang Qingxuan has to go to Baiyu City to take charge of the Tianshi Kingdom, Qianluo Kingdom, Xiluo Kingdom, Wei Kingdom, and the Night Owl troops from the five kingdoms of Qi. Ah Qing manages it in Zhongzhou.
The scope is even greater, we are too tired.”
"Starting to cry about poverty again?"
"I'm not crying for poverty, but it's what we need for our work. Master, now the enemies we face are getting stronger and stronger. The intelligence chiefs of the major sects in Central Continent basically started with a false start. When we fight against them, we have to be careful.
Shen will kill a large number of people. We need more masters to protect more disciples. In the past three hundred years, not to mention those who control the periphery, just our own disciples of Tiansheng Sect have fallen.
There are less than 500 people, including several Dao Gang monks, and the casualties on the periphery are more than ten times that of our core personnel."
"How many of you, Ye Owl, are currently on the twelfth floor of Daogang?"
"Seven, you can achieve breakthroughs in retreat within twenty years."
"Three pills, I will give you three Lingming Pills. In fifty years, I am afraid it will be difficult to get them again. You know, there are already more than ten people in the sect who are above the tenth level of Daogang.
, I am not that powerful, I will come up with dozens of spiritual pills in a few decades."
"Just three. We don't have much of this kind of strategic material, and the real spiritual grass hasn't matured so quickly in Tianyang Mountain."
"How can it be so fast? It only takes a hundred years to plant it. It will take at least hundreds of years to get rid of the restrictions of Lingming Pill."
Lin Xiao shook his head. Tianyang Mountain did plant a lot of true spiritual grass, but it took too long to mature, and the fifth-level spiritual planters had not yet been cultivated. Otherwise, the time could continue to be shortened, and Tiansheng Sect wanted to get rid of it.
It will take a long time to restrict the Lingming Pill. Now Lin Xiao can only place his hope in the Xilao and Qianluo Kingdoms, and the Wei Kingdom may be able to get some.
"Master, what if we, Night Owl, can get the real spiritual grass ourselves?"
"If you have the ability, then take it and refine it for Li Muxue. I will give you at least three pills in a furnace."
"real?"
"When did I lie to you?"
"Then it's settled. We must get some and be self-reliant. Now Nan Xuan is getting more and more excessive. We can no longer rely on him."
"Don't say that about Nan Xuan. He has already done a good job. In terms of ability, he is better than the previous chief elders."
Lin Xiao shook his head. The upward movement of resources and wealth is beneficial in the short term. It allows high-level monks to obtain more resources and improve their strength and cultivation faster.
However, it is very unfriendly to the low-level monks at the bottom. Their population base is already large and their resources are getting smaller and smaller. This will only make competition more and more fierce, which will breed many problems, including corruption.
Therefore, while Nanxuan is expanding his financial resources and making the cake bigger, he is also correct in suppressing this trend and ensuring that the lower-level monks with the largest number of people can obtain certain resources. Lin Xiao also supports it.
"I'm going back to the sect tomorrow. Master, is there any letter you want me to take with me?"
"No, nothing happens at the moment"
"Oh well"
"I'll leave tomorrow too, just keep an eye on the night owl and don't let anything happen again."
Lin Xiao nodded. Early the next morning, Lin Xiao took the teleportation array and left Shengyun City, heading north to Danxia City. The Danxia Sect was still of great significance to Lin Xiao.
Especially for the elixirs taken during the period of spiritual deficiency, Lin Xiao could not rely on the system to solve them, because they were too expensive. Coupled with Li Muxue's consumption, Lin Xiao had to make some preparations in advance.
It's a pity that Lan Lingyu has not yet left Danxia City, and her former uncle has also transferred out of Danxia City, so Lin Xiao still failed to achieve her goal and had to leave after staying for half a year.
However, on the way, Lin Xiao heard the news about Han Bo. Ever since Han Bo broke through Shenxu, he began to challenge masters from all walks of life to hone himself and prepare for accepting the inheritance of Seven Swords Sect.
Han Bo is a core disciple of the Seven Swords Sect. His swordsmanship is extremely high. He has challenged masters from all walks of life for decades, winning more than he lost and winning more than he lost. He is famous far and wide and is extremely famous in Central Continent.
There are even forces that have opened a handicap around Han Bo, asking people to place bets on whether Han Bo will win or lose in his next challenge. It is precisely because of this that Lin Xiao was able to get the news.
In Lin Xiao's impression, Han Bo is a very pure person. To put it bluntly, he is pure. He does not hold any power in the Seven Swords Sect, but only focuses on improving his cultivation and swordsmanship. Therefore, seeing Han Bo being teased like this
, Lin Xiao felt a little uncomfortable.
After hesitating for a moment, Lin Xiao went to find Han Bo. When Lin Xiao found Han Bo, he had just finished fighting with a Shenxu monk in a city that cultivated immortality. The Shenxu monk was the one who was in charge of this city, so he
A fighting arena is set up in the city.
Han Bo won, a miserable victory. His robes were in pieces and he was covered in blood. But standing on the ring, his body proportions were like a sharp sword. No one dared to look at him wherever he looked.
