The allied forces of the Yuan princes were defeated in the Si River Plain. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers fled to Taizhou, Jinzhou and other places. The vitality of the Yuan Kingdom was seriously damaged.
There were also garrisoned generals who surrendered the city to Wu and opened the country to foreign countries. Within a few months, most of the nineteen states belonged to Wu.
Only Taizhou, Huanzhou, Haizhou and Shuzhou are left.
"Drive! Drive!"
On the snow-covered Haizhou Plain, the galloping roads gradually became sparse. Several dark horse messengers were galloping at full speed towards Zhentao City.
There is a wharf in Zhentao City that leads directly to Tianhai Island, thus notifying the Xuanmiao Sect who is relocating.
The black horse has black scales on the outside, which is not like an ordinary species. However, it cannot withstand the long-term sleepless running. Its pupils are a little blurred, it is foaming at the mouth, and it is almost dying.
Seeing this, the leading knight became more and more anxious. He pressed his hand hard on the horse's back, and a strong force poured into the horse's body, forcibly stimulating it to stimulate the vitality and blood and prolong life.
The black horse raced all the way, and after half a quarter of an hour, it finally arrived at the post station outside Zhentao City.
The knight dismounted and sent the secret message.
Soon there was another Taoist in green clothes. After getting the letter, he hurriedly walked to the courtyard inside the inn and tied the secret letter to a majestic bald eagle.
"Go." The Taoist looked solemn and stuffed a special pill into the bald eagle's mouth.
This kind of pill can make the bald eagle fly to the Xuanmiao Sect on Tianhai Island at the fastest speed and deliver the secret message to the sect.
The price is that after taking the medicine, the bald eagle will immediately fall over and die after delivering the letter.
Soon, a white shadow rose into the sky and flew towards Tianhai Island in the distance.
The eagle's call in Qingyue just sounded and then quickly disappeared.
The inner mountain of Xuanmiao Sect.
Yuandu Zi was sitting opposite a bald old man, with a plate of black and white coins placed in front of them.
Yuandu Zi held the white one, and the bald old man held the black one.
Sunspot has the upper hand at this time and the situation is great.
But the bald old man didn't look happy at all about winning. Instead, he stared nervously at Yuanduzi at all times.
"Here." He put down a sunspot again, "Do you want to continue? Yuandu."
"Of course, playing chess has a beginning and an end. Who knows who will win and who loses until the end?" Yuanduzi said with a smile.
"But isn't the chess situation already obvious?" The bald old man raised his head and said helplessly. "You lost."
"Where did I lose? Uncle Master, could it be that his eyesight is dazzled?" Yuanduzi smiled and picked up a white stone, gently placing it on the empty space of the chessboard.
Snap.
The chess pieces hit the chessboard and made a crisp sound.
"Isn't this obvious?" The bald old man looked down before he could finish his words.
The chessboard that was almost full just now is now empty, except for the small piece they played last.
In the rest, all the chess pieces have disappeared.
""
The bald old man looked at his chess basket. The black stones that were almost empty had been refilled at some point.
"Uncle, continue?" Yuandu Zi raised his head gently and looked at the other party.
""This is already the third time, what a fart!
The bald old man was speechless. If he hadn't been able to beat his nephew, would he have been so miserable even playing chess?
With a long sigh, the bald old man was the founder of the Guishou lineage, Guishou Taoist.
Not long after he returned to the clan, he was pulled by Yuanduzi to play chess with him from time to time.
His chess skills are extremely strong and he is known as the best in the entire sect. Even to the outside world, he is one of the best chess masters in the entire Yuan Dynasty.
After all, once this person lives a long time, with a little study, he can reach the highest point in one direction.
The same goes for ghost-headed Taoists.
It's a pity that he, one of the world's best chess masters, rarely wins when playing chess against Yuandu Zi.
"Report! There is a secret message from another state."
Just as the two were thinking carefully about the chess move, a Taoist priest quickly entered the door and knelt down to report.
Yuandu Zi and Taoist Guishou were not in a secret place like Black Cliff, but just randomly found a stone table under a big locust tree in the inner mountain and started the chess game.
At this time, someone came to report, which naturally attracted the attention of many people around him.
It's just that Uchiyama is deserted. Occasionally, if a real person passes by, he just stamps his feet and pays homage from a distance.
Soon, a black carved envelope with light gold edges fell into Yuanduzi's hands.
She put down the chess piece, picked up the letter, and with a tremble of her fingers, the letter opened automatically and the paper inside floated out.
There wasn't much content on it, so Yuanduzi glanced at it and put it away with some boredom.
"How is it? Are you planning to go?" From such a close distance, Taoist Ghost Shou could naturally see the handwriting on the letter at a glance.
"I have already planned to leave the world, so why would I still care about these false names." Yuanduzi said with a smile.
"That's right. If your master and I hadn't pulled you out of there back then, I'm afraid you wouldn't be willing to go out now." The ghost leader nodded in agreement.
Yuandu Zi didn't say anything anymore, but the letter in his hand was placed casually on the chessboard.
The seal of the Guangci Sect is clearly printed on it.
The first line of the letter is astonishingly:
‘I have long heard that Xuanmiao Zong Yuandu is the most powerful master in the Yuan Dynasty.
I, Anchi Guluo Modo, have long admired the true power of the Yuan Dynasty. On September 9th, I will be waiting at the Louvre Palace of Jinlianzong in Zhongzhou to learn the supreme mystical skills of your sect.’
This is a letter of engagement.
Moreover, it is a letter of challenge written by Mo Duo, the national master of Wu State.
"It's just that if you don't go, something might happen over there in Zhongzhou," the ghost leader sighed.
"What does it have to do with me?" Yuan Duzi replied softly, then he lightly tapped the letter of engagement and shattered it into countless powders, flying away.

"Xiaohe, when are you going to leave? We have already gone to the third batch. The direct line is almost empty.
If you want to leave, remember to let me know in advance. As long as you are here, I can arrange for more people to move with you.
A few days ago, Cai Menghuan intercepted and killed a group of Minggan people of unknown origin on the way.
It’s strange these days. Even though the senior sister has such a big name, there are still guys who are not afraid of death and rush up.”
Yao Wan was holding a bandage on his right arm and was sitting in Weihe Cave, holding wine and food in one hand with a look of displeasure on his face.
This arm of hers was injured when she was attacked by two real people on the way to escort the relocation.
"I heard that someone secretly formed some kind of anti-mysterious alliance, uniting a large number of evil forces that we suppressed before, and wanted to rescue the evil ancestor who was sealed by our sect. He is really not afraid of death. Why didn't he do this during the previous national war?
positive?"
Yao Wan is still a little aggrieved now.
Wei He also ate his food with calm movements and was not affected by the other party's emotions at all.
Since he came back with his nephew Guan Yu and Cheng He, he has not been interested in foreign affairs. He is either practicing every day or going home to teach his son and several younger generations.
Now he has nine disciples under his command. In addition to Cheng He and the child from the Guan family, there are also old friends he brought with him when he was in Taizhou, as well as those within the sect and Wandu sect who have connections.
Several disciples were sent.
There were nine people in total, and then they closed the door and stopped accepting them. Nine was considered the ultimate number.
"Senior sister, do you know how many times we have to move?" Wei He asked calmly.
"It should be almost done moving outside. Someone has taken care of all the miscellaneous things. We are mainly responsible for security guards." Yao Wan replied.
Picking up a chicken leg and taking a bite, she looked at Wei He helplessly.
"You said that your kid is either cultivating or cultivating, and you don't communicate with other fellow disciples.
They also held some kind of flower viewing party before, and even made two pairs of Taoist couples. You don't want to attend either."
"I'm married and have children, so I'm not interested in these things." Wei He shook his head.
"You have only one seedling in your family, and the population is not prosperous." Yao Wan advised. "Besides, your first wife will not be able to accompany you to the end. Sooner or later, you will have to renew your relationship."
""Wei He just smiled, all his thoughts were now focused on practice.
After getting the Life Aspect Fruit, he concentrated on research and already had a clue.
Now after a few months, he has basically laid the foundation for the fifth-turn Dragon Breath.
The core of this secret technique is to use a special method of breathing combined with strength to forcefully overdraw most of the body's potential.
With this potential, it affects the qi and blood inside the body, achieving the purpose of leveraging, forcibly moving the muscles and bones of the whole body, and increasing one's own strength.
Certain trace elements contained in the fruit of life are the key.
There is a process for cultivating the fifth-turn Dragon Breath, and it is not achieved overnight. Instead, it is done step by step, from one to five turns, little by little, and constantly improves.
Only after it is completely cultivated and used, the strength will be increased five times instantly.
"Actually, we, the real people, should not get involved in military and national affairs. Senior Sister Yuanduzi probably saw this clue and forcibly relocated the sect in order to completely cut off this part of the causal entanglement to avoid overstepping the boundaries.
The sinking gets deeper and deeper." Yao Wan sighed.
"Yes, I cannot figure out Senior Sister's thoughts." Wei He also nodded.
Just like other sects, at first the senior masters didn't bother to pay attention to the national war.
But later on, as the disciples gradually became involved in their grudges, the masters also had to be implicated.
Then the war quickly escalated.
This is unexpected for any force.
After the meal, the two got up and left the cave, taking a casual walk in the inner mountains.
Although several groups of people had already left during this relocation, Uchiyama Masato and his powerful men could be seen passing by everywhere.
From time to time, people greeted Yao Wan warmly.
The atmospheres of the Xuanmiao Sect and the Wushi Sect are completely different. The degree of unity among the Xuanmiao Neishan Zhenren is far greater than that of the outer sect.
"Is this the case where all the real people living in seclusion outside have been notified to come back?" This was the first time Wei He saw such a lively scene in Inner Mountain.
Coming out of the honeycomb stone wall, looking outside, you can see that there are people walking up and down in the forest, some stopping to chat, and some simply standing on the canopy of the trees and playing the flute softly.
For a moment, the entire Xuanmiao Sect seemed to have changed places.
"There are more people in the Zhili family. In the past, most of them were in the secret realm, or went to the sea to explore the truth. Because many family members and friends of the Zhili family are in the sect, they have little interest in external national affairs.
This group of people focuses more on self-cultivation and other aspects. For this migration, the senior sister sent a unified letter to call these people back." Yao Wan explained.
The two of them went down to the Xuancha Jade Bibi and saw a dozen people gathered in the square, each of whom seemed to be distributing something.
Standing at the front, speaking through the voice transmission, was Xuan Xie, whom Wei He had met before.
He stood with his hands behind his hands, his expression was calm, and he didn't know what he was explaining.
