Tian Yuan Xian Ji

Chapter 967 Xuanyezong’s Request for Help
In Yuanxian County, a merchant ship flying the flag of the Canglang Sect galloped by on the lake with blue waves.

Many spells and supernatural powers appeared in the sky, and the booming sound continued. After a long time, the thunder stopped and the huge merchant ship fell to pieces. Everyone's belongings were scattered on the ground, and there were also the corpses of monks wearing Canglangzong costumes.

A ray of light shot down and came to a corpse. The man kicked on the corpse, cursed loudly, and put the storage bag and scattered items under him into his bag. .

……

The moon is bright and the stars are thin, Shigang County, the remote mountains and fields, while the Fengling boat flying the Taixuanzong flag is galloping, a huge black hole suddenly appears in front of it, like a giant beast swallowing heaven and earth.

The wind spirit boat plunged into the black hole, and the bow deck was reduced to powder visible to the naked eye.

There were exclamations one after another, and many escaping lights rose into the sky, trying to escape from the black hole.

A beautiful ice flower bloomed in mid-air, and in the blink of an eye, dozens of miles around had turned into an ice field. Before a dozen monks dressed in Taixuanzong's costumes could react, their bodies had already turned into ice flowers.

Inside the ice field, a ray of light shot up into the sky, and wherever it passed, the ice and snow melted instantly.

The entire space trembled extremely unstable, and the snowflakes all over the sky turned into ice flowers and poured towards the place where the light radiated.

I don't know how long it took, the light gradually went out, and the world returned to silence. A man stood with his hands behind his back, snorted coldly, and disappeared in a flash.

……

Jingyuan Pavilion, Pingling Mountain, inside the cave, the plateau entered from the outside, and bowed to salute: "Master, the Xuanye Sect sent someone to see you."

"Ask him to meet in the meeting hall!"

"Yes." Gao Yuan responded and left.

Tangning frowned slightly. He probably could have guessed why the Xuanye Sect sent people here.

Recently, Xuantang City has become more and more uneasy. Since the last time Xuanmen and the practice family encircled a large-scale chamber of commerce in Donglai County, the chamber of commerce responded quickly.

It is impossible to succeed in such a large-scale looting and siege, and there are always missed actions. Various chambers of commerce brought the corpses of those sect disciples to various sects to ask for explanations.

The two sides tried to shirk and argue with each other, and the chamber of commerce was unwilling to just suffer from being dumb. Seeing Xuanmen's posture of a dead pig not afraid of boiling water, they quickly counterattacked and attacked the merchant ships of Xuanmen and the Cultivation Family.

This moment seemed to ignite the powder keg, the two sides accused each other, scolded and fought, and the matter became more and more troublesome, and even directly ambushed and killed the monks of the opposing camp.

All of a sudden, the entire Donglai County was in chaos, and all Taoist sects, chambers of commerce, aristocratic cultivation families, and Nether Sea organizations were involved in this dispute without exception.

In Qingzhou, in terms of strength, the Taoist sect and the aristocratic family of practice naturally occupy an absolute dominant position, and if they really want to fight with sharp spears and sharp swords, they must have the upper hand.

But the Chamber of Commerce and the Nether Sea Organization are not soft persimmons that can be squeezed at will, and the relationship between the two parties is very delicate. At least on the surface, they are still allies. .

What's more, not all Qingzhou Xuanmen and practice families have joined the dispute with the Chamber of Commerce, and so far only the Xuanmen of Donglai County has had friction with them.

From the point of view of strength on paper, Taixuanzong plus Donglai County Xuanmen and the aristocratic family, against the Qiankun Chamber of Commerce and the Nether Sea Organization, the two sides are in the middle of each other, unless Taixuanzong can command the entire Qingzhou Xuanmen and unite with all the practicing families in Qingzhou. There is a certainty of winning.

But this is impossible, for the simple reason that the conflict that broke out between the two sides did not involve core interests.

It's just because the Taoist sect and the aristocratic family are worried that the combination of Nether Sea and Qiankun Chamber of Commerce will affect the peace situation in Donglai County, or hinder their future interests.

However, this is just a worry, neither an established fact, nor any evidence that it will become a reality one day, everything is a possibility.

This is not like Mubei's demons invading Qingzhou. It really touched the fundamental interests of all the Taoist sects and practice families in Qingzhou. That's why Taixuanzong was able to respond to all calls, command all Qingzhou Taoist sects and unite all the practice families in Qingzhou to start a desperate contest with them.

What's more, there are monsters in the north watching, and they may invade Qingzhou at any time. Under this situation, it is even more impossible for a full-scale conflict to break out.

Tangning expected that this matter would eventually end in negotiations. As for whether Xuanmen gave in, or if the Qiankun Chamber of Commerce terminated its cooperation with Nether Sea, it is still unknown.

Although the outcome of the matter can be roughly inferred, the process is still very difficult and dangerous for little people like them.

Now that the situation is turbulent and people are panicking, Tangning doesn't dare to go out to the Spirit Mine casually, for fear of being ambushed by others. After all, he personally participated in the robbery of the merchant ship of the Star Tobacco Chamber of Commerce, and killed Yuan, who was in charge at the time. Infant monk.

This enmity has been forged. If this Nascent Soul cultivator has brothers, uncles and the like, if he wants to avenge him, wouldn't he be in danger?
As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of [-], you are afraid of the eventuality. If you are in the spiritual mine, others will not blatantly attack the resources of Taixuanzong.

Although the outside is in a mess recently, at most it is ambushing and killing people who go out, attacking merchant ships passing by, if attacking resource areas, it is another matter of another nature.

Unless the hostile relationship is formally established, it is impossible for the Chamber of Commerce to occupy the resource jurisdiction of Xuanmen.

……

In the meeting hall, a middle-aged man with a leopard head and ape arms sat down. Tang Ning entered from the outside. The man stood up and saluted, "Fellow Daoist Tang, don't take the liberty to interrupt."

"I have some things to deal with just now. Fellow Daoists have been waiting for a long time. Please take a seat." Tangning smiled and returned the salute. The man was Sun Hao, the master of Xuanyezong Qingxuan Hall.

The two sat down as guests and hosts.

"Sun Daoyou came here today, thinking that there must be something important. If you need anything that needs my help, just ask. Tang will do his best within the scope of his ability."

Sun Hao said: "Friend Daoist Tang speaks quickly, so I won't beat around the bush. Recently, our sect has been frequently targeted by the Chamber of Commerce and Nether Sea forces. Several merchant ships carrying supplies have been hijacked, and many disciples have been ambushed and killed. In view of this, we Zong hopes that your Zong can send a team to protect the safety of our escorted supplies."

"After all, our sect was also ordered by your noble sect to offend the power of the chamber of commerce. I hope Fellow Daoist Tang can report this request of our sect."

"If your clan really can't spare any manpower, we hope to borrow your clan's merchant ship to escort our clan's supplies."

Tang Ning smiled and said, "There is no problem with this. I will report your request to the headquarters. However, given the current situation, even the merchant ships that our clan travels with cannot be said to be absolutely safe. Last month, the headquarters' alliance had a Xuan Has the spirit ship been hijacked?"

"In any case, the name of the noble sect is always there, and there are very few who dare to rob the noble sect. Our sect is different. When the situation became chaotic, many people who took advantage of the troubled waters to take advantage of the fire came out. A few days ago, unexpectedly A group of casual cultivators pretended to be the forces of the Chamber of Commerce and robbed our merchant ships, if they hadn't captured a few people, our sect would still be kept in the dark."

"Yes! When the situation is chaotic, people's hearts fluctuate, and all kinds of ghosts and snakes emerge. This is not a problem encountered by the Guizong family, but I think this should not last for too long."

"Oh? Could it be that Fellow Daoist Tang has any news?"

"Sun Daoyou misunderstood. What news can I get as a small Tingcheng master? By the time I know the news, I am afraid it will have spread all over Xuantang City. These are just some of my personal opinions. Until now, the Chamber of Commerce and the Nether Sea The organization has launched so many attacks on Xuanmen, and we still haven't received a large-scale counterattack order, so I guess the higher-ups are not going to fight with the chamber of commerce, so peace talks are inevitable."

Sun Hao nodded and said: "Tang Daoyou's words are reasonable, and we all hope to reach an agreement as soon as possible. This situation is in chaos. Although it will not affect a big sect like Guizong, it will suffer for us small sects. "

"Don't get me wrong, Fellow Daoist Tang. I'm not complaining or accusing. In fact, anyone with a discerning eye knows that once the Nether Sea and the Chamber of Commerce unite, it will definitely be harmful to us in the future."

"We also hope to stop them and nip the threat in the bud. But now it seems that the Qiankun Chamber of Commerce seems to be determined, and the noble sect and the major sects are not ready to die."

"Instead of going on like this, it's better to talk about peace as soon as possible. To be honest, a small sect like our sect really can't stand such a toss. Just these few losses have cost our finances for several years. flow."

"That's why we hope that your sect can issue some measures to protect us. If your sect can send fellow daoists to lead a team to protect our sect's materials and escort them, that would be great."

"If you can't, the next best thing is to use the noble merchant ship to escort the supplies for us."

Tangning said, "I understand your current situation and experience very well. I will report this matter as soon as possible."

The two chatted for a while before Sun Hao left.
