Chapter seven hundred and eighty first gather the defeated soldiers
Under the Shenmu Zong Mountain Gate, after Lin Xiao learned about the defeat of the Shenmu Zong and Ziyun Temple, he immediately ordered Bai Zichen to bring all the cavalry to the Shenmu Zong Mountain Gate, join Lin Xiao's 200,000 horses, and then go to the Shenmu Zong Mountain Gate.
Pass defense lines were set up at each intersection to contain the defeated army.
Seven days later, the first batch of broken troops arrived. This group of broken troops still had some strength, because they were the only remaining high-level monks of the Shenmu Sect who had gathered together, and they were equivalent to the pathfinding vanguard.
Bai Zichen successfully defeated them again and captured more than 3,000 people. He learned from the prisoners that the Shenmu Sect's defeated troops were at least 500,000 to 600,000, not including those who had fled, so he urgently requested support from Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiao dispatched another 300,000 troops from Lingmu City, and then the broken troops arrived one after another. Most of them were captured by Bai Zichen, and a few had to escape.
On the fifteenth day, the Shenmu Sect's largest rout arrived, totaling more than 300,000 troops. It was led by the only remaining senior members of the Shenmu Sect. However, not to mention the loss of all their supplies, the organization was completely disrupted and it was impossible to organize a battle.
Since there were very few high-level monks in formation, Lin Xiao sent Ma Langfei and other high-level monks to support them. Bai Zichen only led the cavalry to charge once and completely dispersed them.
Half of the remaining ten or so high-level monks died on the spot, and half fled into the Shenmu Sect's mountain gate. Less than a thousand people followed them into the mountain gate, and most of the rest were captured by the Nanzhou army.
After this group of broken troops was dispersed, the subsequent broken troops received the news and began to dare not go home. They could only be reduced to refugees. They lacked food and clothing, but had weapons at their disposal. They began to transform in groups.
He became a robber and brought trouble to the territory of Ziyun Temple.
Most of the monks on Ziyun Temple's territory were also defeated. They fled back to their respective families and sects in a hurry. What greeted them was not the comfort of Ziyun Temple, but the extremely vicious defeated soldiers. They suffered heavy losses immediately. Ziyun
The situation on the watch site deteriorated rapidly.
The senior officials of Ziyun Temple were informed of this situation, but they could not devote much power to clear it out. They could only protect a small area of their core territory. The rest of the area could only let the vassal forces protect themselves, which was equivalent to abandoning these areas.
Centaur.
In the Nanzhou camp under the Shenmu Sect's mountain gate, Lin Xiao came with a group of senior officials to inspect. In front of Lin Xiao and others, there were densely packed prisoners. These people had all their magic weapons taken away and their cultivation levels sealed.
, gathered together, the number of people was over 300,000.
"Leader Lin, what are you going to do with these prisoners?"
"What did Lu Leiyuan say?"
"Kunlun can't take any more prisoners. There are too many. Leader Lin, we really can't send them away anymore."
Ma Langfei said awkwardly, logically, he should be thinking about the interests of Nanzhou, but there is no way, the dispute between Tianyue Sect and Kunlun is too deep, he can only speak for Kunlun.
"Okay, I understand, I won't send it away, Zichen."
"Here, leader"
"I heard that you manage a lot of territory in the Lingmu City area."
"Yes, many of Lingshan, mines, and markets are intact. It would be a waste if they were completely destroyed, so I arranged for people to operate it, and it has been quite effective. Just one Xuanjing mine alone generates
The kind that can mine hundreds of thousands of mysterious crystals for pure profit."
"Very good, you can pick any of these captives from the Purple Mansion. Whether they are used to mine ore, farm or something else, tell them that they can regain their freedom by working for the Nanzhou army for ten years, and then you can choose one of them.
If everyone is appointed to be a leader, not only should they be exempted from labor service for a few years, but they should also be given some benefits. Do you know how to do this?"
"Don't worry, Alliance Leader, Zichen knows."
Bai Zichen nodded. In fact, this is a way of colonization. These prisoners are all monks in the territory of Shenmu Sect. They are familiar with the situation here. Find some soft-bodied people who are greedy for life and afraid of death, support them, and let them become villains.
, to exploit the remaining captives, and Nanzhou reaps the benefits.
"Leader Lin, do you think we should arrange something to do?"
When Tan Minglun saw that Lin Xiao had arranged a fat job for Bai Zichen, he couldn't help it. The other senior officials also had glaring eyes, expecting Lin Xiao's order.
"I know that you also want to do things in the rear, but this is not allowed by conditions. The war is not over yet, and it has entered new changes. Think about it, Shenmu Sect and Ziyunguan have been defeated for half a month, and the North
Is there any new news from the front?"
"This doesn't seem right"
"Yes, shouldn't Penglai and Kunlun bulldoze the Immortal Alliance in one fell swoop? Why did they go there?"
"Leader Lin, what's going on?"
"I haven't thought about the specifics yet. We need enough intelligence to analyze. However, we must also respond proactively. How to respond is to accumulate supplies and allow the monks under me to break through as much as possible, so I will select a group of people.
To manage the land we occupy, the rules will be as in the Unclaimed Land of Nanzhou. The benefits will not belong to my family, Lin Xiao, but to the entire alliance. Each of your sects can select a group of disciples with management talents.
Come here and participate in the management. At the same time, those who are about to break through in cultivation can also apply to the alliance. I have asked the logistics to sort out a batch of trophies, which can be exchanged for some combat achievements in advance."
"So good, so good"
"Thank you, Leader Lin"
Lin Xiao's proposal was approved by everyone. As long as Lin Xiao didn't eat alone and everyone shared the benefits, everyone naturally had no objections.
Lin Xiao then went to look at the prisoners with higher cultivation levels. This time, none of the prisoners were at the Divine Void stage or above. They either ran away or died in the battle. There were dozens of Lingguang monks, but these people
Lin Xiao hasn't figured out how to use it yet.
Lin Xiao was too busy. There was no movement at the Shenmu Sect's mountain gate, and he didn't even know how many people there were. The situation in the world of immortality changed too fast, and Lin Xiao felt very uneasy.
Bai Zichen selected more than 100,000 low-level disciples and brought them back to the vicinity of Lingmu City and asked them to mine and farm. He selected a group of more obedient monks and made them managers. The Nanzhou monks were responsible for supervision and safety.
defend.
The capture of prisoners is also continuing. After all, many monks can't let go of their homes and want to come back for a visit, so they will soon be caught by the Nanzhou monks and become prisoners.
After Lin Xiao said that the affairs of the Nanzhou Army were well arranged, he once again found the Supreme Zhuo Lin of Kunlun. In all the previous battles, Zhuo Lin had not participated. His only task in coming to the Nanzhou Army was to contain the opponent's Supreme
, protect Lin Xiao, he doesn’t have much life left, so he won’t do it easily.
"Senior Zhuo"
"What's the matter"
"The clone of the ancestor of the Shenmu Sect was defeated, and his soul has returned to his true body, right?"
"There's no need to look back. His soul is always in his true body. The one who was killed was just a fragment of his soul."
"Is Mu Wanqiu so capable?"
"Being a demon clan, my methods are a bit unique. I could do it when I was young."
"Okay, Senior Zhuo, I want to go meet the ancestor of the Shenmu Sect for a while. I wonder if I can ask the ancestor to go with me?"
"If you want to see Mu Wanqiu, you have to enter his territory. Once there, I won't be completely sure to protect you. Aren't you afraid of death?"
"In a war, no one has a 100% chance of surviving. If you are afraid of death, why should you become an immortal?"
"If you have the guts, yes, you can go anytime."
"If it's convenient, leave now"
"But, don't resist me"
Zhuo Lin nodded, stood up, walked to Lin Xiao, grabbed his shoulders, then broke through the void, stepped out, and arrived at the mountain gate of the Shenmu Sect a hundred miles away.
There is an eight-level defensive array at the Shenmu Sect's mountain gate, but for the Supreme, it is still like entering a deserted land. However, as soon as they entered, the senior leaders of the Shenmu Sect sensed it, and the alarm bell sounded at the Shenmu Sect's mountain gate.
"Mulao Gui, my old friend is here, why don't you meet me?"
"Zhuo Lin, you're not dead yet"
"I can't survive you, but I won't die so quickly either."
"Come in, the disciples of the Shenmu Sect will retreat and return to their respective positions."
The voice of the ancestor of the Shenmu Sect resounded throughout the entire gate of the Shenmu Sect. The monks who were facing a powerful enemy were at a loss. However, Zhuo Lin ignored it and flew high in the sky with Lin Xiao, arriving at the territory of the ancestor of the Shenmu Sect.
The ancestor of the Shenmu Sect has a mountain peak in the mountain gate, with a radius of about 500 miles. It is the forbidden area of the Shenmu Sect's mountain gate. Without his order, no one dares to approach.
These three hundred miles were surrounded by thick fog. The thick fog had the effect of isolating spiritual consciousness. Outsiders could not see what was inside at all. When Lin Xiao arrived, a trail separated from the thick fog. Zhuo Lin led Lin
Laughter goes deep into it.
"So many spiritual trees, so many high-level spiritual trees"
Lin Xiao entered it and immediately found that there was not an ordinary tree on either side. They were all kinds of spiritual trees, of fourth and fifth order. The deeper you go, the higher the order.
After the sixth level, the spirit tree can still turn into a human form and move around without being restricted by the terrain. However, the cultivation level of the spirit tree cannot be improved if it leaves the land, so it is best to take root in the land and then use it from the body.
The branches turned into clones and left.
Arriving at the very depths, Lin Xiao saw dozens of children playing around. Zhuo Lin told Lin Xiao that these were spirit wood demons of the sixth level and above. Although the spirit trees could turn into human forms after reaching the sixth level, their consciousness was very low.
They are far inferior to sixth-level monsters, so they need a long time to grow.
"That child with blood-red skin turned into a demon from blood ginseng. It would take tens of thousands of blood ginseng to transform into a demon."
"For at least 200,000 years, in the entire world of immortality, the one with the most high-level elixirs was not the Danxia Sect, nor the Qingdi Immediate and Kunlun families, but this forbidden area of the Shenmu Sect. Just take out these transformed ones.
One is enough for each sect to take over."
“I didn’t expect Shenmu Sect to have such a strong foundation.”
"Wrong, this is not the foundation of the Shenmu Sect, but Mu Wanqiu's. Mu Wanqiu has supported many forces in the past million years, and the Shenmu Sect is just one of them. Even if the Shenmu Sect is dead, he can still rebuild it if he wants.
Support one."
"I see"
Lin Xiao nodded. It seemed that the relationship between the Shenmu Sect and Mu Wanqiu was not a good one. Both sides were on guard against each other and just taking advantage of each other.
For Mu Wanqiu, it is enough to support a force and use it for him to defend the periphery. What he ultimately wants is to ascend, while the Shenmu Sect relies on Mu Wanqiu to protect his own interests and become one of the first-class forces, that's all.
.
"arrive"
"Junior Lin Xiao has met senior Mu before."
"Are you Lin Xiao?"
After Lin Xiao saluted loudly, a seasoned-looking man appeared in front of Lin Xiao and looked at him.
