The golden elixir monks in yellow robes from Song State stopped and argued: "Grandpa, we haven't lost yet and can continue to fight. They don't dare to fight desperately.
As long as we keep fighting, we will definitely win."
The white-bearded Jindan said angrily: "Song Yan, you like to take risks in military operations. You have succeeded many times before you got out of the current situation.
But if you know how to start a business, you also need to know how to maintain success. You can't just work hard when you have some financial resources.
If we continue to fight, it will be difficult to swallow Zhao if we win, and if we lose, we will destroy the country.
The current situation in the Song Dynasty is the best in thousands of years. There is no need to ruin the country's destiny just to gain temporary momentum."
Song Yan wanted to say something more, but Bai Xu Jindan reprimanded him: "I'm not dead yet, it's not your turn to cover the sky with one hand."
The Jindan monks were arguing so loudly that they could be heard clearly for hundreds of miles around.
Wang Daoyuan felt that Song Yan's words made sense. If he continued to fight, only Wanling Sect would resist with all his strength.
If the Song Dynasty is really desperate, the Jindan monks of Netherworld Sect and Canyang Palace will not fight to the death, but will defend their own territory.
But what he didn't expect was that the Song Dynasty was not monolithic.
The other Jindan monks are willing to accompany him to eat meat, but are not willing to accompany him to death.
Secondly, he does not understand the principle of "the mantis stalks the cicada, but the oriole follows behind".
Even if the Jindan of the Song Dynasty listened to him and destroyed a Wanling Sect, the losses would not be small. The Zifu and the Foundation Establishment monks would all be lost.
Once the losses of the Song State were too great, it would become a piece of meat on the chopping block. How could the forces of Qi, Chu, and Wu remain unmoved?
By that time, the Song Dynasty will have enemies on all sides, and the country will be destroyed in a matter of seconds.
Song Yan was a very capable gambler. It only took him more than two hundred years to integrate the Song Kingdom, which had been divided for thousands of years.
He is an excellent pioneer, but he likes gambling too much and doesn't care about capital, so he is not a good defender.
The war has been fought so far, and it is just right for Zhao Guo.
The Song Dynasty suffered great losses, but it still retained a lot of strength. It was insufficient in offense and sufficient in defense.
The forces of Qi, Chu and Wu did not dare to take action easily, and the Song Dynasty did not dare to cause trouble everywhere.
On the Zhao side, everyone looked at a green-robed golden elixir monk.
This person is the Supreme Elder of Wanling Sect, his name is Yulong Zhenren, and the spiritual beast he raises is a fourth-level high-grade dragon.
Master Yulong also knows the thoughts of Netherworld Sect and Canyang Palace, and if the fight continues, these two sects will not be happy either.
After thinking for a while, he nodded and said: "We agree to stop the army, but we don't want Song's land. We want Song to use spiritual stones and other resources to compensate for the losses."
This was a wise choice. There was no danger to defend south of Wuchengguan, and it occupied Song State's territory, which attracted too much hatred and required heavy troops to be stationed to defend against Song State forces.
The resources produced may not be many, but the cost of occupation is high.
The Netherworld Sect and Can Yang Palace took action this time and seized the land, but the two sects could not take it. This also required the Wanling Sect to use resources to reward the two sects.
In this way, Wanling Sect has won, but its strength will decline in a short period of time.
The captured land needs to be developed to be productive.
Developing land requires investing resources and manpower.
The Wanling Sect had held the Song Dynasty on its own for more than ten years. It consumed a lot of resources and suffered a lot of casualties. It couldn't devote much resources to developing new territories.
On the contrary, a large amount of resources are urgently needed to cultivate talents and maintain the operation of the sect.
No matter how you calculate it, land is not as cost-effective as resources.
The white-bearded monk from the Song Kingdom nodded and said: "Let the purple mansion and foundation-building monks from both sides evacuate first, and we, the golden elixir monks, will talk slowly."
Master Yulong waved his hand, and the Zhao monks below began to retreat north.
He was not afraid of what the Song State would do again. In this battle, the Song State lost seventy or eighty Zifu monks, four to five hundred Foundation Establishment monks, and all flying warships.
Even if you want to regret it, you don't have the strength.
The two sides ceased fighting, there was nothing left to see, and Wang Daoyuan fell back to the ground.
After half a day, all the monks from the sect who came to help left Dongsan Fortress.
The ancient palace master also sent news, ordering him to hand over the East Third Fortress to the Wanling Sect monks, and then lead his people to leave the fortress and assemble in the north of the main city.
Wang Daoyuan handed over the fortress to the Wanling Sect monks and took the monks from the northern part of Qingli County to the north of the main city.
At this time, many people had gathered here, and a dozen large flying boats from the Netherworld Sect were also waiting here.
However, the people gathered were not only the monks from the Netherworld Sect, but also many monks from the Setting Sun Palace.
It seems that both sects are worried about Wanling Sect and want to leave this place as soon as possible.
If the Wanling Sect was really ruthless and kept all the monks from the two sects participating in the war, the losses of the two sects would be great and there would be a gap in talent.
Netherworld Sect and Canyang Palace have always been at odds with each other, so it is difficult to unite them. From now on, Wanling Sect will really dominate the Zhao Kingdom.
This is a very risky matter, and we might be attacked by the two sects and the Song Dynasty.
But the benefits are also great. Once successful, the unification of Zhao will be just around the corner.
However, to make such a highly risky decision, no one from the Wanling Sect would dare to make such a decision easily.
At this time, it was only half a day before both sides stopped their troops. It was impossible for Wanling Sect to make such a big decision in such a short period of time.
When the Wanling Sect failed to make up its mind, it withdrew the monks and left a golden elixir monk with a short lifespan to negotiate.
In this way, there is no fear that the Wanling Sect will fall out. Killing a golden elixir with a short lifespan will probably cost its own golden elixir monks, which is really not worth it.
Soon, the Netherworld Sect's manpower was assembled, and everyone boarded the boat and left Wuchengguan, flying towards Wanchuanfang City.
Arriving at Wanchuanfang City, the flying boats separated.
Wang Daoyuan and others took a flying boat and headed straight for Qinglifang City.
After passing Wanchuanfang City, we arrived at the territory of Netherworld Sect, which was considered completely safe.
Everyone also looked happy, participating in a national war, and no one died.
Only one monk from the Yang family lost his arm, but Wang Daoyuan picked it up.
If everyone defends the Third Fortress of the East and repels the Song monks, they will definitely get some rewards.
Wang Daoyuan was rather regretful that he could not get that kind of crossbow.
If crossbows and crossbow arrows could be refined, it would be of great help in strengthening the defense of Falling Dragon Ridge.
Back in Qinglifang City, everyone dispersed, and Wang Daoyuan also took out the Yuquan flying boat and carried his tribe back to Yuquan Peak.
He didn't want to do anything else and just went into seclusion to practice.
Luo Jiuyou was previously dragged to the Netherworld Sect's mountain gate to refine flying warships. He had not practiced much for more than five years, and his cultivation level had been improved very little.
At the Shanbei branch, within a few years, the clone Wu Yi will be able to collect a contribution of 350,000 yuan.
I have four to five hundred thousand spiritual stones on my body, and if I sell some magic weapons, elixirs, spiritual talismans, etc., and get another hundred thousand or so spiritual stones from my family, that will be enough.
But his cultivation level is still at the eighth level of foundation building.
If you don't raise your cultivation level to the peak of foundation building as soon as possible, you won't be able to use it even if you get the Yin Yang Purple Jade.
After a month of seclusion in the cave on Yuquan Peak, Uncle Twelve called him out.
It turned out that the Netherworld Sect sent an elder from the Zi Mansion to invite him to the Netherworld Sect’s mountain gate to discuss his merits and reward him.
Wang Daoyuan was a little confused and didn't understand. In the past, when rewards were given out, it was just a matter of sending someone to deliver them. Why was it so troublesome this time?
However, the Netherworld Sect specially sent a monk from Zifu to invite him, so he couldn't help but appreciate it.
Anyway, I went to the Netherworld Sect Mountain Gate here to receive a reward, not to go to the guillotine, so there was no harm in taking a walk.
After walking out of the cave, he followed his twelfth uncle Wang Shouye into the auditorium.
The fifth uncle was chatting with the monks from the Purple Mansion of the Netherworld Sect. When Wang Daoyuan came in, the monk from the Purple Mansion quickly stood up and cupped his hands and said, "I've seen Manager Wang."
Wang Daoyuan didn't dare to take it seriously, so he returned the favor and said, "I've seen the elder."
The Zifu monk smiled and said: "Congratulations to Manager Wang for your great achievements in Wucheng Pass this time.
The Wanling Sect has reached an agreement with the Song State, and the Minghai Ancestor has returned with a large amount of resources.
The sect master has decided to reward those who have made great contributions. You have made great contributions by practicing flying warships and rescuing injured monks in this battle.
Therefore, the sect master sent me to invite you to the mountain gate and personally award the reward."
