Chapter five hundred and seventy fifth game of interests
The trail was smooth all the way, and Li Mu was surprised that he entered the hinterland of Dong Penglai so smoothly.
You must know that half a month ago, a team of elite monks also led by him entered the territory of Dong Penglai to perform a secret mission. Although they were extremely careful, they still lost three people.
In fact, after Sikong and Katori were trapped in Honda Castle, Higashi Horai was taken over by the remaining three top ten men and the shogunate.
In response to the sudden attack by the "Blood" organization and the Mythical Great Demon, Tojo Hayabusa also showed his heroic side and immediately contacted Nishihorai, and soon reached an agreement on a temporary truce.
At the same time, the border crossing of East Penglai was fully opened, and some forces from West Penglai were allowed to enter its hinterland. In particular, the Cangyun Empire's expeditionary force, which had extremely strong combat capabilities, was allowed to pass all the way.
Regarding this "unbelievable" decision, the entire Dong Penglai is not without opposition. Some military generals have questioned it, thinking that this is no different from giving up Dong Penglai.
In their opinion, once the threats from the mythical demon and the "blood" organization are resolved, neither the expeditionary force nor Xi Penglai will retreat obediently, and will inevitably seize the land of Dong Penglai directly.
Both the shogunate and the Immortal Cultivating Sect of Dong Penglai understood this truth, but they still chose to "lead the wolf into the house". The biggest reason was that the two parties considered their own interests.
When the Cangyun Empire failed in its invasion war, the invincible Penglai fleet was completely destroyed in Qinglan City. Then Baili and Shen Bairu led a group of followers to establish their own empire, and the Penglai Immortal Kingdom split into two countries.
With such a bad result, it stands to reason that it is absolutely impossible for Sikong and Katori to remain at the pinnacle of power.
But the two finally got the support of the shogunate and a large part of the cultivating sects. The fundamental reason was that they painted a very attractive future for these decadent and rigid old-school powers.
Sikong's original words were this, "In just one year, the Penglai Immortal Kingdom will become the only force in the East China Sea."
It was this seemingly extremely arrogant and illogical "promise" that instantly penetrated the psychological defenses of the shogunate and the Immortal Cultivating Sect. After a short discussion, these "decision-makers" representing the ancient immortal kingdom chose to make another decision.
Trust this man.
They even don't hesitate to pretend to be deaf and dumb on the issue of colluding with the "blood" organization, because these people understand that in the face of huge interests, the fairy world convention and the opposition between good and evil are not worth mentioning at all.
But when Sikong and Katori were trapped in Honda City by the four heavenly kings of the "Blood" organization using the Purple Flame Cage, everything changed.
With the brains of the shogunate and the Immortal Cultivation Sect, they naturally immediately understood that Sikong had been tricked by the "Blood" organization. The "future vision" they had placed high hopes on was simply a lie. Everyone had become pawns of this evil organization.
I made a wedding dress for each other.
These "human spirits" were furious at first, and then immediately gathered together and began to discuss how to minimize losses.
So as expected, Sikong and Katori, as well as all their followers, were all given up immediately. Compared with the "grand dream" of dominating the East China Sea, how to protect the mainland of Penglai Immortal Island is now the top priority.
As for who is in power afterwards, whether the country is called West Penglai, East Penglai, or any other name, it becomes unimportant, because as long as the territory remains, the shogunate will still be the shogunate, and the Xiuxian Sect can still live its own life.
Easy days.
Now, the only one who wants to protect this territory in the face of the mythical monster and the "blood" organization is Xi Penglai, or to be precise, the Cangyun Empire expeditionary force that supports Xi Penglai.
So from the moment the Purple Flame Cage rose in Honda City, the civil war in Penglai Immortal Kingdom has ended. Sikong and Katori, two super strong men who have successfully transcended the Tribulation Realm, are finally competing for the interests of many parties.
Win, lose completely.
Of course, Li Mu didn't know about these extremely complicated things. As he headed towards Mount Fuji at full speed, he only thought about how to stop the gathering of the five mythical monsters, but a sudden black arrow really stopped him in his tracks.
.
"Be careful, there is an ambush!"
A kite turned over, and Li Mu instantly avoided the flying arrows with a gesture that was difficult for ordinary people to understand.
The remaining five people were also powerful monks. As soon as Li Mugang reminded them, they each used their skills to form a defensive formation.
"Coming, in the west."
As the person with the highest level of cultivation among the six people besides Li Mu and Liu Long, Lin Qingzhu is also outstanding in perception ability and can quickly locate the enemy.
I saw the Starfall Sword and Cangyue Sword unsheathed at the same time, and two bright sword lights, one gold and one silver, rose into the sky.
At the same time, Nie Xiaoyu also clasped his hands together, and the majestic power fell on Li Mu and Lin Qingzhu in an extremely mysterious way. It was the unique move of Sheng Yuan Jue, the blessing of power.
Liu Long, on the other hand, quickly displayed the Liu family's fighting spirit, condensing a strong fighting spirit shield out of thin air and placed it at the front of the team.
As for Xiao Tao Wan and Bai Jing Ting, who were slightly weaker in cultivation, they also drew their weapons and stood guard on both sides, ready to support the frontal battle at any time.
More and more black arrows were fired at them, but all the attacks were blocked by Liu Long's fighting shield. However, Li Mu and Lin Qingzhu did not take action immediately because both of them had already felt several extremely powerful arrows.
The breath is passing by rapidly.
After five or six breaths, as three figures soared into the sky from the woods, the sound of dense footsteps finally entered the ears of the six people.
"The three Infinite Realms should be the helmsman level of the 'Blood' organization. The woman on the right is at the Dacheng Realm, and the others are entry-level."
Seeing the black-robed man from the Infinite Realm coming out of the air, Li Mu did not dare to neglect, and thrust out the Star Meteor Sword in advance, using the fire phoenix coming from the Suzaku Nine Swords.
Lin Qingzhu on the side was not to be outdone. Although she had not yet reached the threshold of the Infinite Realm, with the blessing of the Cangyue Sword, she also had the strength to fight against the entry-level masters of the Infinite Realm. The gorgeous sword energy in her hand turned into several silver moons in the air.
Turn around and attack a man in black robe.
The battle was about to break out. In addition to the three Infinite Realm members, there were more than thirty members of the "Blood" organization dressed in black robes who came to intercept the six Li Mu. The lineup was extremely large.
They were all good partners who had fought side by side. Li Mu didn't even make special arrangements. Lin Qingzhu and Nie Xiaoyu stood behind him, and together they stopped the three most difficult black-robed men in the Infinite Realm.
Xiao Tao Wan and Bai Jing Ting, under the leadership of Liu Long, started fighting with the remaining men in black robes.
Neither side said a word of nonsense. Every move they made would kill the other side. Obviously, regardless of life or death, no one could leave this area.
