Chapter eight hundred and thirty fifth war in the south
Lin Xiao sneaked into the Qingyang Sect's mountain gate alone and met many senior members of the Li family. In this war, the Li family's high-level monks suffered few losses, but the low-level monks suffered extremely heavy casualties.
After Li Muxue established the Qingyang Sect, he used the Li family monks as the backbone to vigorously develop his strength, which grew to 500,000 troops. In addition, the Wenxian Sect placed some vassal strength under the command of the Qingyang Sect. Before the war, the Qingyang Sect
There are about a million people and horses.
Then in the first stage of the battle, the Qingyang Sect camp lost 200,000 troops. After that, there was an eight-year stalemate. The Qingyang Sect tried its best to make up for the personnel, plus Wenxian Sect's support after defeating the Shenmu Sect and Ziyun Temple.
The number of troops restored their strength to over one million troops.
But in just over a month, about half of the one million men and horses were lost. If the Qingyang Sect had not been based on the Li family and the high-level monks of the Li family were intact, it would have collapsed long ago.
In the ten years of war, the Li family monks lost up to 200,000 men and horses. The low-level monks before the war were almost replaced. A large part of the Li family monks who are fighting now are young people who have only been practicing for more than ten years.
monk.
Of course, Li Muxue also took this opportunity to weaken the remaining factions of the Li family and conduct a major blood change in the Li family. Now the entire Li family is in a state like a phoenix rising from the ashes, appearing extremely young and energetic. As long as the Li family can survive until the end
, they will be rejuvenated, sweep away the rotten atmosphere, and become even more powerful.
"Lin Xiao has met Patriarch Yuanzun, Patriarch Chaowen, and all fellow Taoists."
Lin Xiao saluted all the senior officials one by one with great respect. However, compared with before, Lin Xiao's status had risen a lot. Lin Xiao saluted them, and they had to be careful in returning the salute.
"Li Muxue meets Master"
When Lin Xiao finished his salute, Li Muxue knelt down to Lin Xiao in public and performed the master-disciple ceremony. This made Li Chaoxian and others' brows jump wildly. It has been hundreds of years, but Li Muxue's heart has not been warmed. It is really shocking.
So sad.
The Li family tried every possible means to separate Li Muxue from the Tiansheng Sect, and they were willing to pay any price for this. Unfortunately, Li Muxue refused. Lin Xiao's shadow was too heavy in Li Muxue's life.
"The politeness is over, please sit down. Leader Lin invites you."
"Everyone please"
"Leader Lin, this time the Nanzhou army came to Qingyang Sect to rescue the siege, Qingyang Sect is very grateful."
"Ancestor Yuanzun, you're welcome. We are both allies of the Five Continents Alliance, so naturally we should help each other."
"Leader Lin came here this time, I don't know why."
"Of course I'm here for the war. The world of immortality is changing rapidly and the situation is changing rapidly. If we, a small family, can't keep track of the situation, I'm afraid we will be abandoned by the general trend."
"If you have anything to say, Alliance Leader Lin, you may as well say it directly. These are the most trustworthy people in Qingyang Sect, and there are no outsiders."
Li Yuanzun nodded, knowing that the important point was coming. Except for Li Muxue, the lowest cultivation level here was the eighth level. They were all the core figures of the Li family, and their confidentiality was reliable.
"Okay, let me tell you the truth. Five days ago, another decisive battle broke out on the Wanzhoumen, Jiangyangmen, and Guiyi Sect fronts. The Immortal League once again lost more than three million horses. The number of the entire Immortal League's army has been less than one thousand.
Wan, Dongzhou also rejected the request to send troops again. If they were not strong enough, the remaining troops of Dongzhou's 5 million expeditionary force would have been withdrawn.
The Immortal Alliance's war potential has been completely exhausted. Even if they take away all the old, weak, sick and disabled in the hinterland, they will still be able to gather less than 3 million people. However, the Five Continents Alliance and Nanzhou have only mobilized one-tenth of their troops, and Xizhou has mobilized only one-tenth of its troops.
He Beizhou is equivalent to not mobilizing, and has full potential. It can be concluded that the Immortal Alliance is bound to lose.
So the post-war situation and how to divide the interests after the war are the focus of our discussion. We are all small families and cannot be compared with the three Kunlun sects. If we don’t make a decision before taking action, we will probably suffer a loss."
"If Leader Lin has any specific plans, you can tell him directly."
"Ancestor Yuan Zun, you can't let me speak alone. I don't know how your sect will decide."
"Master, we..."
"Muxue, Anjing, you don't have the right to make the decision here yet. I want the Supreme Leader of the Li family to speak."
"snort"
Li Muxue pouted and was very unhappy. She is the leader of Qingyang Sect, so why doesn't she have the right? Isn't this bullying?
The Li family monks each looked at each other, but they agreed very much on this point. Li Muxue made it clear that she was facing Lin Xiao. Let Li Muxue make the decision. I am afraid that the Li family will be sold to Lin Xiao by her. This is not appropriate.
Very inappropriate.
"The territory of the Qingyang Sect is indeed too small. According to the territory of the first-class sects before the war, we should occupy a territory of about 30,000 miles. If we follow the standards of the three Kunlun sects, we should have at least a territory of about 50,000 miles."
"Muxue, get on the map"
"Yes, Master"
"Everyone, please see, this is the territory of Qingyang Sect. If you only want 30,000 miles of territory, then you only need to occupy the territory vassalized by Qixing Pavilion. If it is 50,000 miles, then you will have to occupy the entire territory of Qixing Pavilion.
I would like to ask, do you think the three Kunlun Sects will agree?"
"I'm afraid it's difficult. The Five Continents Alliance now has more than twenty second-rate sects from the original Central Continent. They paid a heavy price for this war. I'm afraid they must give heavy rewards to appease each sect. Otherwise, there will be no one from the three Kunlun sects.
Respected.
According to the closeness of the relationship, our Qingyang Sect will definitely be ranked at the back, and the Wenxian Sect does not want a behemoth like the Qingyang Sect to appear next to them."
"Ancestor Yuan Zun is right, then should the Li family give up this goal?"
"What is the difference between giving up and not giving up?"
"Of course there is. If we give up, the three Kunlun sects will definitely have to make up for it elsewhere. If we persist, I'm afraid we will have to make the decision to fall out."
"Fuck you, Lin Xiao, you are really thinking too far ahead."
"It's not that Lin thinks too much, but the situation is what it is. I personally think this is the best opportunity for Qingyang Sect to expand in tens of thousands of years. You should not object to this statement."
"We admit this. If it weren't for the war, Qingyang Sect would have no chance to expand. Wenxian Sect would not allow it. But Lin Xiao, do you have a way to help Qingyang Sect achieve this goal?"
"Rules are dead, people are alive. I made an agreement with Kunlun before taking charge of the Nanzhou Alliance. The relationship between Nanzhou and the Five Continents Alliance is not a superior-subordinate relationship, but an alliance relationship. Therefore, the war merit system of the Five Continents Alliance is not suitable for Nanzhou.
, in this case, then the conversion of our military exploits is different. Now that most of Shenmu Sect's territory is occupied by us, Kunlun will not say anything. According to convention, it is not too much for us to occupy Qixing Pavilion again."
"You mean Nanzhou and Qingyang Sect will jointly divide the Seven Star Pavilion, and then you will give us the territory? Then what do you want?"
"That's it. Lin has three requirements. First, we will definitely have many prisoners in this battle. I will sell these territories to these prisoners and some forces composed of casual cultivators. I will take away the part of the money sold.
, of course, after the Nanzhou army withdraws, these forces will turn into vassals of the Qingyang Sect. We will also agree with those people in advance about this.
The second point is the alliance between the Nanzhou Alliance and the Haoyang Sect. At the critical moment, the two supreme ancestors have to listen to my orders and help me deal with some things.
The third point is that it is possible to borrow the Li Family Heavenly Book. The time is about three thousand years. Lin Xiao can guarantee it with any oath, and it will definitely be borrowed and returned."
"The first two points can be discussed, but the third point I'm afraid the Li family cannot agree to."
"Ancestor Yuan Zun, this is not Lin Xiao's boast. Although the Heavenly Book is precious, Lin Xiao has not taken it seriously. The reason why Lin Xiao made this request is just to agree to Shenmu Zongmu Wanqiu. As for the Heavenly Book, Lin still has it in his hand.
There is a copy"
"Do you have the Heavenly Book of Emperor Hao Yi's family in your hand?"
"That's right"
"You mean to return the Yi family's heavenly book to Yi Mei'er and lend the Li family's book to Mu Wanqiu. Then I ask you, what should I do with Muxue? Even if Dinghai and Chaoxian are not used, what about Muxue?"
"As my master, I will naturally be responsible for Muxue's practice and will never delay her practice."
"What you say is unfounded, how can you guarantee it?"
"Isn't it okay for me to be a master?"
Lin Xiao replied that it was helpless to say that the Heavenly Book could not be redeemed in the system. The reason was that the system level was not high enough for special items. Otherwise, Lin Xiao would not need to ask for it from the Li family.
"Ancestors, Muxue believes in Master."
"We can't believe it"
"Seniors, how can you trust me?"
"It's okay if we agree to this condition. We also have a condition."
"Please say"
"Disband the master-disciple relationship with Muxue"
"What, no, I won't agree. Ancestor Yuanzun, if you want to make this request, I would rather resign as the head of the Qingyang Sect. Li Muxue will repay the kindness of the Li family in the future."
"Muxue, you..."
Li Muxue's fierce reaction shocked Li Yuanzun. The Li family was not good enough for Li Muxue, but they really gave them what they asked for. Li Muxue shouldn't not know how much the Li family paid to support Li Muxue.
"Muxue, shut up, everyone, Muxue is still young and can't speak without going through the brain. Let's do this. Let's discuss this matter later, okay?"
"Can"
"Then there's nothing wrong. Can we, master and apprentice, talk about old times?"
"good"
The Li family monk nodded and then left, leaving the place to Li Muxue and Lin Xiao.
"Muxue, I don't want to hear those words just now a second time. How do you teach me as a teacher? You should repay your kindness. The Li family is good enough to you, even better than the master is to you."
"I admit what I just said, I was wrong, but in Muxue's heart, master will always be master. You said it yourself, once a master, always a father. Even if the master abandons Muxue, Muxue will not abandon the master."
"You, hey, your wings are stiff and you don't even listen to Master's words, right?"
"This disciple has grown up and has his own ideas, which have nothing to do with others."
"Okay, okay, okay, Master can't help you anymore. You go find a cave. I have a gift for you."
Lin Xiao had a headache. It was true that a girl couldn't help her mother, and a disciple couldn't help his master. Lin Xiao didn't care about that much anymore. Let's improve the disciple's cultivation first.
