As soon as Wang Daoyuan took out the token, all the foundation-building monks present stood up and saluted: "I've seen Wang Guangshi."
After all, they are all working under the Netherworld Sect to make a living. Whether it is true or false, they must always show a little respect.
The stewards of various palaces in the Nether Sect have a higher status than the idle elders, so everyone naturally has to bow to them.
Wang Daoyuan waved his hand and said: "Fellow Taoists, there is no need to be polite. I have not yet joined the Netherworld Sect and am not officially in charge. I can only exercise my powers.
Elder Liang, I don’t dare to command you.
Let's do it this way. If you are willing to listen to my instructions, just follow me.
Anyone who is willing to listen to your command will follow you.
What do you think?"
Liang Liang thought for a while and decided that it would be okay if he continued to make trouble, and he had no chance of winning.
The reputation of this idle elder is really not as good as that of a steward with real power.
He sighed, nodded and said, "That's it."
Everyone began to line up, and those who were willing to accept Wang Daoyuan's command stood to the right.
Those who are willing to follow Liang Liang should stand on the left.
What Wang Daoyuan said before was also a hidden threat.
Liang Liang is close to 490 years old and has only about ten years to live, but Wang Zhi'an of the Wang family is less than 200 years old.
It is better to bully a white-haired man than to bully a poor young man.
What's more, this young man from the Wang family is not poor, and is stronger than the white-haired man from the Liang family.
Follow Liang Liang all the way to the dark side, wait for Liang Liang to die, and wait for the remaining few hundred years to be slowly taken care of by the Wang family.
Except for the Huang family and two or three other families who have very close relations with the Liang family and have enmity with the Wang and Yang families, the other families all sided with Wang Daoyuan.
Several foreign families also chose to side with Wang Daoyuan.
Liang Liang sighed and said nothing more.
Wang Daoyuan smiled and said: "Since the leadership matter has been discussed, let's set off."
Then, a Netherworld Sect foundation-building monk walked in and took everyone to the martial arts arena, which was the place where the strength of the participants was screened before participating in the duel between the two sects.
This place is very spacious, but there is a giant flying boat in the yard at this time.
This flying boat is more than twenty feet long and seven to eight feet wide. One ship can carry hundreds of monks from various families participating in the war.
Wang Daoyuan shouted: "Each family's foundation-building monks will bring their own Qi-training monks on board."
The foundation-building monks dispersed and soon came in with the Qi-training monks from each family.
The monks from each family boarded the ship in order according to the strength of their respective families.
Because Wang Daoyuan was the leader of this trip, the Wang family was the first to board the ship, followed closely by the Yang family, and the Liang family came third.
After all the families boarded the ship, several Netherworld Sect foundation-building disciples boarded the ship and entered the cabin that controlled the flying boat.
A foundation-building monk asked Wang Daoyuan: "Manager Wang, all the participating monks have boarded the ship. Can we set off?"
Wang Daoyuan replied: "You can leave now."
The flying boat rose slowly, reached a height of a hundred feet, and then flew toward the southwest.
This flying boat is not very fast, it can fly more than a thousand miles in one hour.
It is not easy for such a big flying boat to fly at such speed.
After all, it is a large flying boat for transportation, so the consumption of spiritual stones needs to be considered.
The faster the speed, the more spirit stones are consumed.
Sanhefang City is at the southernmost tip of Mingshui County, at the junction of the three sects.
The straight-line distance between Qinglifang City and Sanhefang City is about 60,000 miles.
This flying boat only takes four or five days to reach Sanhefang City.
This kind of long-distance troop deployment only takes four or five days, which is very fast.
Besides, the Wanling Sect will not ask for help until the oil is exhausted. If it is delayed for a few months, the Wanling Sect can handle it.
The flying boat was flying within the Netherworld Sect's territory, and there was a conspicuous Netherworld Sect flag on the boat, so no one dared to take advantage of this flying boat.
The journey was uneventful, and five days later, the flying boat landed in Sanhefang City.
Sanhefang City is divided into three parts by the river, and each of the three major sects occupies a part.
The part occupied by the Nether Sect is near the mouth of the Nether River, and to the west is the territory of the Setting Sun Palace.
The part occupied by the Wanling Sect was not placed on the south bank of the Wanchuan River, but on a small island in the Wanchuan River, only three or four miles away from the north bank.
The three stores together have more than 6,000 seats.
This scale is not comparable to Qinglifang City.
The flying boat that Wang Daoyuan and others were riding landed in a spacious courtyard at the Netherworld Sect's residence in Sanhefang City.
Seeing the flying boat landing, a monk from Zifu came over immediately.
Wang Daoyuan and Liang Liang got off the flying boat, while the others continued to stay on the flying boat. Whether they wanted to rest here or not, they had to listen to the instructions of the Jindan ancestor of the Netherworld Sect.
After everyone came down, the monk from Zi Mansion cupped his hands and said: "Manager Wang, Elder Liang, please follow me in and listen to the instructions of Ancestor Minghai."
Ancestor Minghai is the supreme elder of the Netherworld Sect, and his title is "Zhenren Minghai". He should be over nine hundred years old.
It seems that the Netherworld Sect also paid attention to supporting Wanling Sect this time.
By sending Master Minghai, who is about to expire, even if the Wanling Sect turns against him, the loss will not be too great.
If Master Minghai dies in battle, he can still extort money from Wanling Sect.
This attitude of the Netherworld Sect can be seen from the fact that Liang Liang was sent to participate in the battle, but Yang Yong and Wang Zhi'an did not participate in the battle.
Of course, not all of the senior officials sent by the Netherworld Sect are nearing the end of their lives.
They also sent the Ancient Palace Master, a monk with a bright future. The Ancient Palace Master was only over 300 years old, and his cultivation was already at the peak of the Zi Mansion. This was the seedling that formed the golden elixir.
The Netherworld Sect sent him to fight, probably so that he could repair the battle-damaged third-level mid-to-high-grade flying warship at the front line at any time.
Wang Daoyuan and others followed the elders of Zifu into a main hall, where an old black-robed monk sat on the main seat.
Wang Daoyuan has also seen Master Jindan many times. The aura exuded by Master Minghai is slightly stronger than that of the master of Netherworld Sect, but far inferior to Master Lei Yan.
After all, Master Lei Yan is a master among top forces like Shenbing Pavilion, so naturally he is not comparable to masters from local forces like Master Minghai.
After Wang Daoyuan and Liang Liang took their seats, Master Minghai did not speak. The ancient palace master said: "The monks from the northern part of Qingli County have also arrived, and all the monks participating in the war have arrived.
If you need anything, just say it. If you don’t need anything, we will set off for Wucheng Pass."
Several Zifu monks got up and talked about some trivial matters, and the ancient palace master immediately ordered someone to deal with it.
No one said anything after that, and the ancient palace master announced that everyone should set off and rush to Wucheng Pass.
Among the five counties under the jurisdiction of Wanling Sect, four counties are close to the Wanchuan River.
Only Wucheng County, where Wucheng Pass is located, is far away from the Wanchuan River.
Without Wucheng County, Zhao's territory would be roughly a trapezoid shape, wide in the north and narrow in the south.
And Wucheng County stretched out a sword from the top and bottom of this trapezoid, piercing the heart of the Song Dynasty.
The entire Wucheng County is more than 60,000 miles long from north to south, and only four to five thousand miles wide from east to west. There are high mountains on both sides of the east and west sides.
This county originally belonged to the Song State, but it was slowly taken over by the Zhao State who continued to attack the Song State for several generations.
After taking Wucheng Pass, the Song State had no danger to defend and professed its vassalage to the Zhao State. The Song Emperor proposed to marry the Zhao State princess, and the two countries intermarried.
The State of Zhao did not continue to attack the State of Song, and turned to the north to sweep away the demon clan.
Wuchengguan is a hundred thousand miles away from Sanhefang City. The support team of the Netherworld Sect, accompanied by the monks of the Wanling Sect, need to bypass the important industries of the Wanling Sect.
After struggling for half a month, we finally arrived at Wuchengguan.
Looking from the air, there are high mountains on both sides of the east and west sides, with a gap of about a thousand miles in the middle.
This opening is not flat, but consists of intermittent mountains. In the center of the opening is a flat passage three or four miles wide.
The main city of Wuchengguan is located on this flat passage, and the city wall blocks the entire passage.
