Tian Yuan Xian Ji

Chapter 384 Zongmen Reform
Tang Ning led the crowd out of the range of the formation and traveled eastward for more than a hundred miles, but no monks from the Demon Sect were chasing them, so they stopped and discussed how to stay.

"Now the Wancong Mountain camp is surrounded by many layers. The situation is more dangerous than our camp. Even if we go to support it, it will not help. I intend to join the brothers and sisters who came to support from the sect first, and then join them Support the camp. I don't know what you guys think?" Tangning asked.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Tang Ning left Xu Cuiyao here to wait for the lagging Qi refining disciples, and fled away with the others towards the direction of the sect.

After traveling for less than half a day, I saw the Fazhou coming from the direction of Zongmen from a distance.

The head of the sect, Wei Xuande Feidun, followed closely behind Jiang Ming from the House of Internal Affairs and Tong Quan'an from the Secret Precepts. Only Peng Wanli, the head of the Yuanyi Hall, was not here.

Tang Ning and the others hurried forward, bowed and saluted, and briefly described the whole story. Then they boarded the Dharma boat and headed for Wancong Mountain together with the others.

After walking for less than half an hour, they met the members of Qianyizong flying from the direction of Wancong Mountain. The leader was Xiao Han, a disciple of the Internal Affairs Academy. He led the disciples of the Internal Affairs Academy to station at the north of Wancong Mountain.

Compared to Tang Ning and the others, they looked much more embarrassed. Xiao Han's face was pale, and there were traces of blood on his sleeves, as if he had been injured.

There were only six people in the House of Internal Affairs, and the other four Foundation Establishment cultivators were all dead. More than half of the Qi Refining disciples were killed or injured.

After walking for about an hour, I saw a ray of light shooting towards Wei Xuande and the others at a very fast speed. This person was none other than Luo Qingshui.

Seeing this, everyone knew that the battalion had already been defeated, otherwise Luo Qingshui, as the commander, would not have been able to flee before the battle.

As Fazhou moved forward, more and more disciples fled. Shi Ming and his easy-going Cheng Shuimin also joined the crowd. Both of them were seriously injured, especially Cheng Shuimin, whose face was as thin as paper, with blood on the corner of his mouth. Congshan has fallen.

With Wei Xuande's order, Fa Zhou turned back to the sect. Since Wancong Mountain had already been lost, it would be meaningless to fight against the disciples of the Demon Sect at this moment.

What's more, Qianyi Sect's new defeat, history name Sui, Cheng Shuimin have suffered a lot of injuries, it would be unwise to fight the Demon Sect to the death at this time.

Everyone returned to the sect, and each belonged to the department.

...........................

In the Ganxing Mountain Deliberation Hall, the head of the house, Wei Xuande, and the senior officials of the three halls and three courtyards gathered together, except Cheng Shuimin from the Foreign Affairs Council.

Everyone's expressions were a little dignified. After the Zongmen's defeat in Wancong Mountain, regardless of casualties, its representative significance is quite large.

That is to say, Xuanmen no longer has control over the land of the Central Plains. After the victory of the Demon Sect, it will inevitably expand further and enter the land of the Central Plains.

And those aristocratic families who have witnessed the defeat of Xuanmen will definitely have corresponding changes in their mentality. Most of them choose to change their flags and join the Demon Sect, which is basically predictable.

"How is Junior Brother Cheng's injury?" Wei Xuande asked with a slight sigh.

Shi Ming said: "He was seriously injured, all internal organs were damaged to a certain extent, whether he can save his life depends on his own luck, even if he recovers well, he cannot recover without decades of work."

Wei Xuande said: "After Wan Congshan's defeat, the situation has become more and more unfavorable to us. What should we do next? Is it a war or a peace with the Demon Sect? What do you guys think?"

Luo Qingshui said: "Although the Demon Sect has the intention of negotiating a peace, but that is just their strategy. Once they grow stronger, they will inevitably go to war with us. Judging from the current situation, if we propose a peace, they will If you want to make progress and ask for more land resources, at least half of the world must be divided."

"Although our sect has been newly defeated, it has not yet fallen to such an extent. My dignified Taoist sect proposed a peace plan with the Xiaoxiao Demon Sect to divide the Chu kingdom. If the news spreads, I will have nowhere to put this old face."

"Even Shuiyunzong chose not to hesitate to fight when they were so weak back then. Could it be that we are not as good as a group of women?"

Tong Quan'an echoed: "Senior Brother Luo's words are reasonable. The Demon Sect's wolf is ambitious, how can he seek skin from a tiger? Besides, the so-called peace talks are nothing more than empty words and no promises. What can be done? If the Demon Sect In the future, the power of the sect will greatly increase, so will it be possible to coexist peacefully with us? The Chu State is our territory, and the sect is not without the power to fight, so how can we just give it up like this?"

Following the name of the history, Jiang Ming also said that he should not show weakness.

Wei Xuande glanced at the silent Peng Wanli: "What do you think, Junior Brother Peng?"

Peng Wanli said: "Just now what you brothers and sisters said is reasonable, but in view of the current situation, I don't think it is appropriate to start a big war, otherwise it will hurt the foundation of the sect."

"Don't forget, in Xingang, in addition to the Youmei Sect, the New Moon Gate and the Blood Bone Gate are also eyeing. If we fight with the Youmei Sect and lose, will they come in and take it? fruit?"

"This section has to be guarded against. Even though we can ask for help from Qingyang and Shuiyun sects, we still have to look at their faces when it comes to other sects. It's not as good as our own retaining enough strength."

Wei Xuande said: "What does that mean by Junior Brother Peng?"

Peng Wanli said: "The Youmei Sect left Qinchuan in the west, and after Longyou, they entered the Central Plains, South China and Northern Plains. With the expansion of their power, they will also encounter the same problems as us, that is, the battle line is too long, and the base camp cannot be maintained. To meet the front. We just need to avoid a decisive battle with them, so that we lose both."

"We can adopt the method of harassment and send small teams to attack their various camps, or we can still adopt the method of stationing a large camp and form a camp in the eastern part of the Central Plains. In this way, one can stabilize the hearts of the people and let those cultivating families know that we are still holding on. .”

"Both, serve as command posts for those tasked teams."

"Three, set up camp in the eastern part of the Central Plains. Once there is a change, the Zongmen's support can arrive within half a day at most. Even if the Youmei Sect attacks with all its strength, it will not be a problem to persist until the Zongmen's reinforcements come. It will not repeat the mistakes of Wan Congshan."

Wei Xuande nodded and said: "Just as Junior Brother Peng said, immediately dispatch people to camp in the eastern part of the Central Plains, as close as possible to the sect. Junior Brother Luo, Junior Brother Shi, and Junior Brother Tong, I trouble you three to go and garrison there."

"Okay." The three replied.

.....................

Tang Ning sat cross-legged in the cave, and the green spiritual power in her body was continuously poured into the mother-of-pearl clam. Suddenly, the storage bag on her waist trembled.

He stopped the infusion of spiritual power, turned his left hand, took out the array plate and fiddled with it slightly, took the talisman floating in the dense fog into his hand, and pointed at it, a voice sounded in his mind.

It turned out that Tao Yong, Zhu Xu's disciple, came to pay a visit.

Outside the thick fog, Tao Yong saw him falling from the light, and bowed and saluted: "Uncle Tang, Master, please go to the cave to have a talk."

Tangning nodded, and the two of them came to the main room of Zhuxu Cave Mansion one by one.

"Junior Brother Tang, you are here, sit down!" Zhu Xu said when he saw him coming
Tangning sat down as she said, "I don't know what order Zhu Shixiong has for calling me?"

Zhu Xu took out a dossier and handed it to him, "This is the urgent dossier just sent by the Silver Fox Intelligence Station, take a look!"

Tang Ning took it and opened it to take a look. She was a little surprised. Zhu Bochong, the head of the Zhu family, had successfully formed an alchemy. He is now a Jindan cultivator. It was also mentioned in the dossier that since the new defeat of Qian Yizong, Zhu Bochong had frequently and mysteriously People met, suspected to be the high-level Mozong.

The person who sent this message was Ding Jianyang.

"What do you think?" Zhu Xu asked.

After Tang Ning returned to the sect, he was stationed at Wancong Mountain within a few days, so no specific duties were assigned.

"After we were defeated in Wancong Mountain, the Mozong entered the Central Plains, and it was only a matter of time before the Zhu family fell to the Mozong. I just didn't expect Zhu Bochong to be promoted to the Golden Core Realm at this time. I don't think it will be long before the entire western part of the Central Plains will be on the lookout. However, if you join the Demon Sect's camp, it is impossible to say that those families in the eastern part of the Central Plains will also defect one after another. If the sect does not take action, the entire Central Plains will not belong to us."

Zhu Xudao: "I have reported this matter to Uncle Tong before, and learned that the sect will once again organize manpower to station in the eastern part of the Central Plains. In addition, the sect will set up several small teams to specifically harass and attack the weak points of the demon sect. The door is quite satisfied with your performance in Wancongshan this time, Master Luo nominated you to lead a small team."

"Oh?" Tangning's expression changed, "Did Master Tong say that too?"

Zhu Xu said: "When I visited Master Luo and chatted with his apprentice, he revealed another piece of news that is very beneficial to you."

"what news?"

"Our sect is about to carry out a reform. The senior uncles are discussing it. It is estimated that it will be tried out in the next few days."

"Change, what change?"

Zhu Xudao: "From now on, the sect will no longer use spiritual root aptitude as the only criterion for judging the quality of disciples. It may implement the meritorious service system like the Mozong, or use the disciple's usual performance to comprehensively measure."

"Students like you who are well-known in the sect, strong in strength but poor in spiritual root aptitude will be the biggest beneficiaries. As long as the meritorious service is high enough and the performance is good, they can enjoy the top-level resources of the sect at the highest level. "

He knew that Tangning had always been treated with inferior resources of the C-level sect. In the early days of foundation establishment, the monthly salary was [-] spirit stones, but now in the later stage of foundation establishment, the monthly salary is only [-] spirit stones. To be honest, it is indeed a bit low up.

"It should have been like this a long time ago," Tangning said with emotion. These were his words from the bottom of his heart, not for his own benefit.
