Chapter One Hundred and Twenty Five: Retreat to Advance
Early in the morning.
Last night's wind and rain washed away the dust and haze in Yingzhen Mountain. The air was fine and the green leaves were still new, adding a lot of greenery.
Wang Dalu intercepted a message sent to the foot of the mountain by spies from the Yingzhen sect last night. It said that there were nine new people from the Yingzhen sect with unknown origins. Please do not take action and report later.
The three major factions should have planned to attack the Yingzhen faction soon, but the appearance of Wang Dalu and others disrupted their plans.
To the enemy, these nine people have unknown origins, unknown identities, and unknown strength. I believe they will not act rashly until their disappearance is confirmed.
Wang Dalu tied the message to a carrier pigeon and sent it out, and sent someone to guard it to see if there was a reply.
Sure enough, before dawn in the early morning, Xiang Guang ran to Wang Dalu's house to report.
"Sir, the three major sects have given a reply. The letter said that the spy will find out our identity in the next few days and find a way to drive us out of this sect."
Not long after, Sun Er also came here to report to Wang Dalu.
"Sir, I saw with my own eyes that Chen Xi didn't seem to notice anything after reading the note. However, I noticed that Chen Xi was able to photograph objects inadvertently. I guess he must have hidden the strength of the embryonic realm."
"Oh, really."
Wang Dalu knew that if the spy Chen Xi had learned some kind of breathing technique like the rest of them, other people would not be able to tell unless they were great monks in the Mayfly Realm.
"Dayong, you and Gensheng will get some more black pigeons. As for these two dead ones, let Xiaocui braise them for me at noon."
Money goes a long way.
"Sir, I saw you bring back a black pigeon last night, so I took it upon myself to catch many black pigeons with Gensheng and hid them."
Wang Dalu looked at Qian Dayong, nodded, and thought to himself.
"Qian Dayong's cultivation level is average, but he is smart and can be used in many ways. He will be a good helper for Li Jinbao in the future."
Wang Dalu also invited two daughters, Qiong Li and Qu Min, to inform them of the truth and discuss countermeasures.
Outside the main hall of Yingzhen Sect, disciples are constantly gathering here.
They claimed that they wanted their senior sister Qiong Li to disclose the identities of the nine Wang Dalu people.
The three major sects were looking for an opportunity to destroy their Yingzhen sect, but nine people from Wang Dalu appeared here at this time, which made people very suspicious.
Under the instigation of caring people, all the male disciples clamored to know the truth.
Outside the main hall, the female disciples and male disciples of the Yingzhen Sect were facing each other, and their swords were at war.
"What are you doing?"
Chen Xi walked slowly, and the male disciples stepped out of the way and shouted.
"Senior Brother Chen."
Chen Xi stood in the middle of the confrontation and said to the disciples on both sides.
"We are all disciples of the Yingzhen Sect. At a time when the Yingzhen Sect's survival is at stake, we are facing each other here with swords and swords. If the master comes out of seclusion and sees this scene, what should he think?"
As soon as the word "master" was mentioned, the female disciples slowly put away the swords in their hands and put them back into their scabbards.
Chen Xi's eyes flashed with a hint of cunning, he winked at the group of male disciples and said.
"I know that everyone is now in a state of war, and they are very worried about the survival of our faction, but how can it be unreasonable for a few unrelated outsiders to force each other against our own people? Should we let those outsiders laugh at us?"
Chen Xi mentioned many times in his words that Wang Dalu and others were outsiders who had nothing to do with the sect, just to tell those female disciples not to get angry with their own people over a few unrelated people.
Seeing that the female disciples were a little moved by what he said, Chen Xi said again.
"I believe the two senior sisters will explain everything to everyone. We just need to wait patiently."
At this moment, a young female disciple ran out of the hall and said to everyone.
"Two senior sisters, please come into the hall and talk in detail."
When everyone entered the hall, they saw two senior sisters, Qiong Li and Qu Min, standing at the front.
Qu Min glanced at Chen Xi with anger in his eyes.
Qiong Li hurriedly blocked Qu Min with her body, said to everyone behind her Yaoyao head.
"Yesterday Qu Min and I were talking to visitors in the main hall because we had something to confirm and we didn't intentionally hide it from all the junior brothers and sisters."
At this time, Chen Xi's voice sounded.
"I wonder what the two senior sisters want to confirm? Can you tell me?"
Qiong Li glanced at Chen Xi, then looked at everyone and said.
"Those people do have old acquaintances with our master. They are here to confirm an old incident with the master, nothing more. I know you are worried. I can clearly tell you here that these people are neither enemies nor friends.
.I have told them that the master is in retreat and asked them to come back in a year and a half."
After Qiong Li finished speaking, Chen Xi asked again.
"I wonder what the attitude of those people was after hearing what Senior Sister said?"
Before Qiong Li could answer, Qu Min on the side spoke sarcastically to Chen Xi.
"Why does Junior Brother Chen care so much about those strangers? Do they have any issues with you?"
Chen Xi smiled, not understanding why Qu Min seemed to have a grudge against him, and replied.
"Senior sister is joking. I just don't want something to happen to the group before the master comes out."
Qiong Li said.
"Okay, okay. It's all our disciples who are arguing about this, don't let outsiders laugh at it."
After Qiong Li finished speaking, he walked to everyone and looked at Chen Xidao.
"What Junior Brother Chen just said doesn't make sense. We need to nip it in the bud. Those people have already told me that they will leave here tomorrow and come back to the mountain in a year and a half."
After everyone dispersed, Qiong Li and Qu Min came to the back hall.
Qiong Li said to Qu Min.
"You should restrain your temper. It's too easy to do things emotionally, and you almost ruined the big thing."
Qu Min said aggrievedly.
"Senior sister, it's not because that thief is hateful. If I had followed him, I would have stabbed him hundreds of holes with my sword to relieve my hatred."
In the evening, Chen Xi took advantage of the darkness to release homing pigeons down the mountain again.
This time, Wang Dalu did not ask anyone to stop the pigeon, but asked Nie Zi to follow the direction of the pigeon's flight.
In a dense forest more than thirty miles away from Yingzhen Mountain, a black homing pigeon slowly landed on the grass.
Not long after, a guy wearing a black robe with a black hawk embroidered on the back took out the note from the pigeon's leg and ran towards a hillside.
Nie Zi followed this man to a high slope and hid his breath and concentration.
On the other side of the high slope, there are about eighty or ninety people sitting or lying in various places.
Three middle-aged men sat by the fire in the middle. The man who had just received the letter handed the letter into the hands of a middle-aged man in a black brocade robe.
The man was tall but slightly thin, with fox eyes and a hawk-nosed nose.
The two people sitting with him, one fat and the other thin, were not outstanding, but judging from the fluctuations of vitality on their bodies, they were both at the Condensation Realm.
A thin middle-aged man wearing blue satin looked at the man in black robe and asked.
"Brother Ying, I wonder what the disciple said in the letter?"
The man in black, known as Brother Eagle, put down the letter in his hand and replied.
"My disciple said that those people are just passers-by and will go down and leave tomorrow. Let us wait until tomorrow, depending on the situation."
"oh?"
The man in the green gown pondered for a moment.
Another short, fat man said in a hoarse voice.
"Is there any fraud here?"
The eagle-faced man looked at the short man and snorted coldly.
The man in the green shirt saw that the two people were not speaking harmoniously, so he hurriedly reconciled and said with a smile.
"Oh, why should Brother Eagle King and Steward Qin be angry? I believe Brother Eagle King's favorite disciples will not spread the wrong news. I will send people to guard the main road down the mountain tomorrow to see if those people will really leave. Then we will know the truth.
Is it fake?"
Nie Zi listened to the words of several people and knew that these people were Feng Wanli, the leader of the Luofeng Sect, the Eagle King, the leader of the Iron Hand Gang, and Qin Ming, the steward of the Wuwei Fort mentioned by the disciples of the Yingzhen Sect.
The only one missing was Qin Wei, the owner of Wuwei Castle. Perhaps as the rumors said, Qin Wei was in seclusion to attack the realm of Ningxu Liuzhang.
After listening for a while, the green-shirted Feng Wanli asked the short and fat Qin Ming.
"Steward Qin, don't you know when Lord Qin will be able to leave seclusion?"
Qin Ming saw Feng Wanli and Eagle King staring at him, waiting for the next step, and said with a smile.
"Fort Master, he will definitely break through to the realm of Ningxu Liuzhang in less than two months. When the time comes, wouldn't it be great for us to offer Rong Ying to congratulate the Fortress Master. Besides..."
Feng Wanli and Eagle King asked again when they saw Qin Ming playing riddles.
"Brother Qin, tell me if you have anything. Is there anything else you want to hide from the two of us?"
Qin Ming waited for a while and said proudly.
"My genius from Wuwei Castle, my nephew Qin Lang will personally return to the castle to celebrate the castle master."
Nie Zi, who had been hiding on the side for a long time, really wanted to kill a few people in a rage to avenge Rong Ying first, but when he thought of his young master's instructions, he gave up his obsession.
Looking at the three people in the fire, he secretly said.
