Chapter 493 The scene was very embarrassing for a time...
Upon hearing Shen Zhui's words, the corners of the white-clothed Taoist's mouth twitched.
Once you have the things in your hands, you will have to return them!
However, even though he knew that the other party was openly robbing him, he had no choice but to do anything about it, because he and others had also planned to openly rob him when they came over in the first place.
But he didn't expect that Elder Mingshan was a third-level Venerable, and he also brought two purple-clothed elders of the second-level Venerable. He was so close, and he launched an attack instantly, but failed to capture Fang Liang.
"Sect Leader Fang, is this going too far?" Taoist priest in white said solemnly. "Everyone has some minor misunderstandings because of the alliance mission. If the dispute is too tense, it will not look good..."
"Misunderstanding? Stop talking nonsense to me!" Shen Zhui interrupted mercilessly. "White-faced scholar, if you don't want to, you can try to snatch someone from under my feet!"
"By the way, I also want a battle report from the front line."
"What? Still saying, you can't make the decision? Then ask someone who can make the decision to come out and talk to me."
"Otherwise, I cannot guarantee that anything will go wrong with these people under interrogation."
"You..." A trace of anger flashed in the eyes of the scholar in white. He was quite famous in the sect world. He wanted to come out to reconcile, but unexpectedly, Fang Liang didn't give him any face.
Shen Zhui was not in a hurry, and just stepped on Yuming Mountain with the three of them, quietly waiting for the white-faced scholar's reply.
He is not worried at all that these people will tear themselves apart and attack Qingyang Gate at all costs...
First of all, I am not afraid of these people. Even if they swarm me, it will be difficult for the people here to take advantage.
Secondly, the sectarian alliance is now facing foreign enemies. Tianjue Sect and Qingxin Sect can use methods to get rid of Qingyang Sect, but they cannot use such obviously evil methods.
Justifiably speaking is the second best thing.
The point is, you can't suffer heavy casualties among your own people before the war is started.
Ensuring that the defense line is not breached and completing the alliance's mission is the prerequisite for the battle.
As long as this major premise exists and annexes each other, the supervisory troops sent by the sect alliance will basically turn a blind eye or close an eye.
If this group of people from Tianjue Sect and Qingxin Sect can control Fang Liang all of a sudden, then it is good to say that only one person on the left and right will lose the ninth level of magical power. If they break the sky, the ninth level of magical power will only be the ninth level of supernatural power. Any attached identity or status is just a cloud.
But now that Shen Zhui is not under control, he can still control twenty sages and fight with thousands of supernatural powers. It will be a hard battle.
Afterwards, if the sect alliance found out that the Qingyang Clan was destroyed not because of Da Zhou's attack, but because of the death at the hands of Tianjue Sect and Qingxin Sect, that would be a big deal.
If the defensive line task has not been completed at this time, it will be even more catastrophic.
"Here you go." The white-faced scholar threw a jade slip over with a gloomy expression.
"Go back." The second order was given, and the strong men behind the white-faced scholar all flew back to the warship.
No longer put on a fighting posture.
"Sect Master Fang, you can let me go now." The white-faced scholar looked at Shen Zhui.
Shen Zhui raised his lowered eyelids slightly and sensed that the three people at his feet had been enslaved by his secret method of controlling souls. He immediately smiled and raised his hands towards the white-faced scholar.
"Okay, today Fang will give you some face. Senior Bai, these three people will be yours."
After saying that, Shen Zhui stamped his foot and suddenly ejected the three people from the ground. A huge force pushed the three people towards the white-faced scholar.
"Kakaka~" During the flight, the limbs of the three people exploded out of thin air, and they suddenly turned into a bloody man.
"Ah——" Elder Mingshan and the two Taoists in purple suddenly screamed and fell on the other side's warship.
"Fang Liang, if I don't take revenge for this, I swear I won't be a human being!"
"I Mingshan swear that I will kill you in the future!"
"If you offend our Qingxin Cult, you will not end well!"
The three of them yelled and cursed and performed like crazy.
The white-faced scholar was not surprised, as if Shen Zhui didn't do this, it would be abnormal.
He looked normal and waved his hand: "Let's go."
Boom~ As soon as the warships arrived, they left as quickly as they came, and they immediately evacuated Black Turtle City.
Shen Zhui snorted coldly, led many of the venerable puppets, and then returned to Black Turtle City.
"Master, I'm afraid the Qingxin Sect and the Tianjue Sect will not give up." Sword King Liao Wushuang frowned. "Today is just a test. When we actually take action, we will definitely not be as fanatic as today."
"I know." Shen Zhui nodded.
"However, it is not that easy for Qingxin Sect and Tianjue Sect to deal with their master."
"If your cultivation level is high, you will attract criticism. If your cultivation level is low, you will not be able to win over the master."
"As long as the master is careful and is not controlled by illusion practitioners, there will be no problem."
"But the people from Tianjue Sect didn't take any forceful action today, which makes us a little surprised."
Liao Wushuang held his chin and said, "Tian Jue Sect is the largest sect in Guangling Cave Heaven and is used to being domineering."
"Now that you want to deal with the master, but you don't beat him to death, you seem to have some scruples. Could it be that you are afraid of the master's adoptive father?"
Tian Jue Sect, as the largest giant among the first-class sects, wanted to deal with Shen Zhui, so it was quite possible to send a fourth-level illusion practitioner to control Shen Zhui quietly.
But today, it was Yu Mingshan and the white-faced scholar who came. Although this lineup was considered strong, it could not be considered as serious.
In the view of Liao Wushuang and others, if the other party is an illusion practitioner who sends Zunsi, Shen Zhui may be in trouble.
"They are not afraid of their adoptive father, but of Da Zhou." Shen Zhui shook his head.
"Afraid of the Great Zhou?" Liao Wushuang and others looked puzzled.
"Look at this information."
"Oh?" Liao Wushuang took a jade slip, and after detecting it with his spiritual consciousness, he passed it to Venerable Hehuan, Venerable Haitian and others.
"What, the enemy in front of us is actually Lan Hai, the younger brother of the Divine Sword Marquis."
"Lan Hai, the younger brother of the Marquis of Divine Sword, is a high-level warrior of the Venerable. It is said that his combat prowess is enough to make him a Marquis, but he does not have enough military merit. He was proposed to be a Marquis three times, but was rejected by the central government every time."
"So that's it." Liao Wushuang suddenly realized. "The people of Tianjuezong are afraid that the joint defense mission will fail."
"That's right." Shen Zhui nodded.
"Qingzhou Lanhai is difficult to win despite three invitations. His strength is enough to make him a marquis, but the Qingzhou Army has not had the chance to fight in recent years. Even if it has, it is only a small fight. There is no military merit that can be found in the title of a marquis."
"In the stable years, it was too difficult to become a marquis in the Great Zhou Dynasty. This can be seen from the incident of Wu'an Marquis."
"Today Juezong has to face Lan Hai, the younger brother of the Divine Sword Lord. He can't focus too much on me. I'm afraid that as soon as he comes over, he will go to the front to deal with Lan Hai's army."
Shen Zhui now realized why the first-class sects such as Tianjue Sect and Qingxin Sect had no way to deal with him. They were really powerless.
You know, Corpse Puppet Sect, Tianjue Sect, and Jiuyin Sect all have high-level combat power.
If he really wanted to deal with a ninth-level magical power 'Fang Liang', it would be easy to capture him. Shen Zhui didn't believe it, Tian Jue Sect didn't have a rough estimate of his combat power.
"My master's guess is correct." Liao Wushuang said with emotion. "I have been denied the title of Marquis three times. This Lan Hai is probably obsessed with military merit."
"Although it's easy to make mistakes, it's also the easiest to go crazy!"
"Tian Jue Sect, this is not thinking about victory, but thinking about defeat first."
"Oh? What's the meaning of this?" Shen Zhui became interested, and he noticed that Liao Wushuang seemed to have other intentions.
"It's very simple. Tian Juezong is looking for a way out for himself."
"They don't want to touch the hard problem of Lan Hai."
"However, we cannot give in directly and let Lan Hai pass, otherwise it will be a betrayal of the alliance. Even if Tianjue Sect is the largest sect in Guangling, no matter how many people are above it, it is impossible to be forgiven. This is a matter of principle."
"However, after this battle, the forces in the sect world will inevitably be reshuffled. If the losses are excessive, then the position of this largest sect will be suspended."
"As the saying goes, if a dead Taoist friend does not die a poor Taoist, the benefits come to me, but the danger comes to you. This is a problem caused by the loose structure of sectarian alliances, and it is also caused by human nature!"
"As long as the sect's strength is not compromised, if you are punished this time, you can get it back on another battlefield next time."
"Tian Jue Sect will definitely find a way to preserve its own strength, and suddenly the Qingyang Sect is transferred here to help defend this place, just with the intention of retreating!"
Shen Zhui snorted coldly. "Tian Juezong, you want me, the Qingyang Sect, to be the scapegoat."
"Master, what is... a scapegoat?"
"..." Shen Zhui was speechless.
"It's his fault that Tian Juezong failed in this defensive mission."
Liao Wushuang nodded, "However, the master's Qingyang Sect alone seems not enough..."
Shen Zhui smiled and said, "With the addition of the Qingxin Sect, a first-class sect, that's enough. It's enough to shoulder the blame for a defeat!"
"So those who came today are from the Qingxin Sect. The white-faced scholar is probably the secret agent of the Qingxin Sect. Seeing that he couldn't control me, he gave me this information so easily. Because the people of the Qingxin Sect are not fools. .”
"After the war, everyone has their own agenda. No wonder they have been defeated repeatedly over the years." Fang Ziyou, who had been listening for a long time, shook his head with emotion.
"Master, what excuse will Juezong use that day to make Qingyang Sect and Qingxin Sect bear the blame for the defeat?" Venerable Hehuan asked.
"Just wait, I estimate that Venerable Tian Jue's joint defense will only be an order coming soon, forcing me, the Qingyang Sect and the Qingxin Sect to make 'mistakes'."
At this moment, outside the city lord's palace of Black Turtle City, a figure suddenly appeared and landed.
The clothes are embroidered with the iconic Dan tripod, hexagrams and lines, and a long sword, which are none other than Puyangzi, the supervisor of the Judgment Sanctuary.
"Qingyang Sect Master Fang Liang receives the order." Puyangzi shouted.
Shen Zhui strode out of the palace door, cupped his hands and said, "Supervisor, please speak."
"The battle ahead is tense. There is a secret report that Lan Hai will send a team to raid. The commander decided to send strong people to support."
"Everyone in your Qingyang Sect who is powerful at level 7 or above must go and participate in the interception."
"Dare I ask the supervisor, should I, the people from Qingyang Sect, go forward?" Shen Zhui asked.
"There are also a group of masters from the Qingxin Sect." Puyangzi replied.
"What is the cultivation level of the opponent and how many are there?"
"I don't know." Puyangzi said expressionlessly.
"Tian Jue Sect, it is clear that they want to trick you, Master." Venerable He Huan on the side muttered.
"If you don't go, you are disobeying orders. With the arrogance of the previous master, once the war situation changes, Tianjue Sect can easily blame Qingyang Sect and Qingxin Sect."
"Go, it must be a hard fight."
"If the Qingxin Sect and Qingyang Sect are wiped out, Tianjue Sect can take advantage of the lack of troops to retreat."
Puyangzi looks at the nose with eyes, the heart with nose, and looks up at the sky.
"Qingyang Gate Control cannot afford punishment, so according to common sense, Tian Juezong is sure that the master will go." Venerable Haitian said.
"Can we lead the people from Lan Hai to Tian Jue Sect?" asked the leader of Hehuan Sect.
"No, no, isn't this a betrayal of the alliance?" Liao Wushuang quickly denied.
While a group of venerables were discussing, Puyangzi continued to look up at the sky, as if he was asleep.
Finally, Shen Zhui waved his hand to stop the discussion among the servants and bowed his hand towards Puyangzi.
"Go back to the Supervisory Army. We will set off immediately. Please inform the Alliance and the Commander and record it truthfully."
At this time, Puyangzi seemed to have returned to his body, and he cupped his hands and said, "Master Fang, you're welcome, this is my duty."
"I only know that the sect leader immediately provided support after receiving the news, and no other channels heard about it."
"That's very good." Shen Zhui smiled, and without leaving a trace, he popped out a storage ring and put it into Puyangzi's cuff.
Puyangzi's spiritual thoughts swept through his sleeves, and the expression on his face suddenly became vivid: "Sect Leader Fang, I don't know where I heard the news. The Qingxin Sect will produce twenty-five venerables this time."
"I don't know who I heard from, but Lan Hai's team wants to sneak attack the teleportation array in the Shanhaikou area behind. The purpose is to intercept the warship team coming for support..."
"Huh? I wonder which line the teleportation array at Shanhaikou is on, and what important materials are being escorted?" Shen pursued.
"Ah, there are still important matters on the trail. Sect Leader Fang, take your leave..." Puyangzi cupped his hands and flew away immediately.
"This cautious old guy..." Shen Zhui cursed secretly in his mind. "I'm afraid of taking responsibility."
………………
On March 2, the battle ahead was in full swing.
Qingzhou, Liangzhou, and Jizhou, the three Wuhous, all marched out in three fronts, crossed the Canglan River, and began to march into the depths of the Jiuyou Mountains.
Even though he was thousands of miles away, Shen Zhui could feel the unusually active power of heaven and earth in the void.
The sect alliance has a token to receive the news, and some of the first-level sages have begun to fall!
This proves that the scope of the war gradually expanded and the fighting became more intense.
On the morning of this day, Shen Zhui led the strong men from the Qingyang Sect, met with the twenty-five venerables from the Qingxin Sect, and rushed to an area temporarily named Killing Sea Mountain.
There are twenty-five venerables in the Qingxin Sect, headed by the white-faced scholar.
Counting Fang Ziyou, there are twenty-one sages in the Qingyang Gate. In fact, Shen Zhui also carries ten demon kings in his arms.
The people who arranged the detection array were five elders sent by the Tianjue Sect. The leader was a powerful man of the fourth level named Bian Nan.
As soon as the two warships entered Killing Sea Mountain, they briefly exchanged greetings with them.
Bian Nan went straight to the topic:
"According to the secret report, a large number of strong men from the Qingzhou Army have disappeared. The commander speculates that Lan Hai will send experts to make a detour from here to attack. We must intercept Lan Hai's people."
"The imperial eagle and dog, everyone can get them and kill them!"
"Fellow Taoists, it's time! Let those big Zhou thieves see our power!"
"For the sake of the alliance, we will fight to the death and never retreat!"
Bian Nan raised his arms and shouted excitedly!
Watching Bian Nan shouting slogans to stir up the atmosphere.
Shen Zhui and the white-faced scholar both had expressionless eyes.
None of them expected that this young man who looked very mature would actually act like a middle-aged man.
The problem is that Tianjue Sect only sent four venerables?
This made Shen Zhui and the Qingxin Sect members no longer even have the desire to pretend.
Are you going to fight to the death? Why don't you come with a few more?
An atmosphere of silence spread in the dark night.
The leaders of the three parties stared at each other, but no one spoke.
