Tian Yuan Xian Ji

Chapter 969 Expansion Risk

At night, outside the formation of Pingling Mountain Spirit Mine, a ray of light shot out, showing the figure of a man with a broad forehead and broad face. He flipped his hand, and the sound transmission talisman fell into the formation.

Soon, a corner of the light curtain melted away, and a figure flashed out inside. The two talked for a few words, and entered the room together.

"Master, a recruited disciple named Zhang Huan has escaped from Xuangan Mountain and is waiting outside. Do you want to see him?" Gu Yuanya pushed the door open and asked inside the room.

"Call him in quickly."

"Oh!" Gu Yuanya left in response, and not long after, she led a man here.

"Junior Zhang Huan pays his respects to Senior Tang."

Tangning waved her hands, "There's no need to be too polite, just sit down!"

"Thank you senior." The man sat down as he said.

"What the hell is going on?"

"At that time, the younger generation was practicing indoors, when he heard a loud noise that shook the sky, he hurried out of the room to check the situation, and found a mysterious spirit ship outside the formation was attacking the defensive formation, we were under the command of Fellow Daoist Wang Xiang, Once the defensive formation was broken, they scattered and fled.”

"Who is attacking you?"

"The junior didn't notice that the mysterious spirit ship was still some distance away from us, and we could only see its huge figure from a distance. As for the cultivators on it, I really couldn't see it clearly. I remember that after the large formation suffered a dozen shells, It was breached, and as soon as the light curtain disappeared, we scattered and fled from another direction."

"During your escape, was anyone chasing you?"

"The younger generation was not hunted down. Since we all fled scattered, we don't know much about the situation of the others. However, the first time the defensive formation was breached, the younger generation never saw anyone on the Xuanling ship come out to pursue them."

"Okay, I understand, you go to rest first!"

"Farewell, junior." The man got up and left the room.

In less than a quarter of an hour, someone came to report again, saying that Wang Xiang had escaped safely from Xuan Qian Valley.

Tangning met him in the cave and asked about some details. Just like Zhang Huan, Wang Xiang didn't know much about the matter.

Around noon the next day, Gao Yuan returned to Pingling Mountain and informed that the personnel who attacked Xuangan Mountain had already fled.

In the next few days, recruited disciples escaped from Xuangan Mountain one after another, and they were all low-level Foundation Establishment monks.

It was not until the fifth day that the support personnel sent by the brigade arrived. The leader was none other than the deputy captain Yu Qingxiao.

"Honestly speaking, it was expected that such a thing would happen. It has become so troublesome, it may be difficult to think about harmony. Not only in Jingyuan Pavilion, the seventh team was also attacked by the Nether Sea Organization , their situation is even more serious than yours, not only the formation under their jurisdiction was breached, but also many disciples were killed and injured, even Junior Brother Xu Yuan, the captain of the seventh team, was not spared."

The spiritual veins of Xuangan Mountain, the original black palace has long been turned into tiles, and it is in a mess as far as the eye can see. The spirit gathering array in the medicinal herb garden has been destroyed, and all the elixir and spiritual herbs inside have been destroyed. There are broken branches and leaves everywhere. , the two walked in the garden with green branches and leaves under their feet, and Yu Qingxiao spoke.

Hearing this, Tangning was shocked again, "When did this happen?"

"Only five days ago, you just reported the attack, and within an hour, news came from the seventh team."

Tang Ning frowned slightly, and remained silent. Recently, Donglai County Xuanmen, aristocratic families, chambers of commerce, and Nether Sea Organizations have been arguing with each other.

In the past, the two sides just ambushed each other's merchant ships, but now they are blatantly attacking the cultivation resources of the other side.

"Team Xie has personally led people to the seventh team, you have to be careful."

"Could it be that they want to start a full-scale war with Xuanmen by doing this?"

"It's hard to say. I think they deliberately want to make things bigger. They are sure that we won't really go to war with them regardless of everything. Therefore, the bigger the things are, the better it will be for them."

"We didn't attack their territory, but they took the lead. The higher-ups won't sit idly by!"

"I don't know, everything is hard to say now, whether to fight or not, the extent of the fight is beyond the control of your generation, even the high-level sect can't unilaterally decide. To put it bluntly, we are just insignificant pieces on the chessboard. Chess pieces. The next period of time should be chaotic, you have to be careful."

"I know that."

The two strolled in the courtyard, chatting along the way, and there were many disciples around them who were counting the losses.

.........

Qinghai, Jining Island, in the majestic and majestic meeting hall, everyone gathered together, and an old man with two gray temples said: "Everyone is here, this time to convene everyone for a meeting, there is an important announcement, the headquarters instructed us , all personnel immediately withdrew from Qinghai and stationed in Dongnai County City."

"What?" As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked, and a big man with a beard and cheeks said in a thunderous voice: "Why are we suddenly asked to withdraw from Qinghai? This is a strategic location that the headquarters paid a huge price for, and For so many years, the Qinghai breeding plan we have made has achieved impressive results, so if we just withdraw it, wouldn’t the years of painstaking efforts go to waste?”

"Yes! So many people are stationed in Donglai County, where are they going to arrange? There are so many facilities on the island, have these large formations been abandoned? You can't just leave everything behind and go inland rashly. .”

"What's going on? Why did the order come so suddenly."

The old man at the head waved his hand and said: "Everyone, be safe and don't be impatient. This is the arrangement of the headquarters. Now that the order has been issued, we are required to enter Donglai County immediately. We cannot disobey orders. All facilities will remain intact for the time being. The staff from the headquarters will go to Yuan Xian County, the branch there will accept us and make specific arrangements."

"Recently, fierce conflicts broke out between the headquarters and Xuanmen and the family. In order to prevent Xuanmen's large-scale retaliation, the headquarters asked us to station in Donglai County to support various branches."

"Everyone, get ready to go! The headquarters asked me to leave immediately within half a month and withdraw from Qing Hai."

.........

In Donglai County, in front of the majestic and majestic city outline, a ray of light shot towards him, revealing the figure of a man with a fat head and big ears dressed in Taixuanzong costumes. He was Zhang Wei, the deputy commander of the Fourth Army.

"Senior, I don't know if I have anything to ask for advice?" Above the city wall, a member of the Nether Sea organization hurried forward to greet him and saluted.

"Under Zhang Lie, under the orders of this department, I came to pay a visit to fellow Taoist Tao Yuan of your department. Please inform me."

"Senior, please wait a moment." The Nether Sea man turned around and left.

After about a stick of incense, the man left and came back again, and invited Zhang Yi into the inner room.

In the spacious and bright hall, the two were seated separately as guest and host. Tao Yuan, the head of the Youminghai branch in Donglai County, sat in the main seat, and said with a blank expression: "Zhang Daoyou is here, probably not to reminisce about the old days! If you have anything to say, please speak up."

Zhang Yi said: "Fellow Daoist Tao, why should you get angry? The recent friction between your department and this sect is neither something we can control, nor is it my personal wish. No matter what, we are still old friends, so we won't be like enemies meeting each other. Be the same!"

"If Fellow Daoist Zhang just came here to reminisce about the old days, we can change to another place. Please come to our mansion for a reunion. Yan will entertain friends with all his heart, but Yan has always had a rule that he never discusses official affairs in private places. We are here for business, we can only discuss here, you and I are masters, and friendship can only be put behind."

Zhang Yi smiled and shook his head: "Your Daoist Tao's temperament has not changed at all, as always, he is clear about public and private matters. If this is the case, Mingren will not speak secretly in front of you, so I will speak bluntly. If there is any offense, I hope Haihan."

"I got the news that all the personnel of your branch stationed in Qinghai have been evacuated a month ago, and are now on their way to Qingzhou. May I ask what your department means by doing this?"

Tao Yuan said coldly: "It seems that there is no need to report to the noble sect for the transfer of personnel in the headquarters!"

"Of course it's not necessary. However, Qinghai is the territory ceded to you under the coordination of our sect. If your organization no longer needs this land, our sect will take back Qinghai and send people to station it. After all, it belongs to Qingzhou and Mubei. If we don't stay here, the Mubei monsters will rush to stay here."

"Please." Tao Yuan said lightly.

Zhang Yan's eyes were fixed, and the smile on his face became colder: "Fellow Daoist, you really mean what you say? You have been running Qing Hai for so many years, are you really willing to give it up?"

Tao Yuan said: "Do we have other options? Is there still a place for us in Qingzhou now?"

"At the beginning, we took the initiative to lend a helping hand when Guizong and Qingzhou comrades were in distress, and helped you repel the Mubei demons. For this, the headquarters paid a huge price. We thought that the ally relationship between us would be unbreakable, but we didn't know that Guizong and Qingzhou comrades Turn your face and deny anyone."

"Since we entered Qingzhou, Guizong and his comrades in Qingzhou have made things difficult for us in every possible way, deliberately crowding them out, and making many small moves."

"Now that we are announcing full cooperation with the Qiankun Chamber of Commerce, it is a voluntary business relationship between the two parties. Both the headquarters and the Qiankun Chamber of Commerce are allies of the noble sect, not enemies. The three parties could have coexisted peacefully and worked together, but the noble sect is so small-minded and can't tolerate it. People, it's really chilling."

"Since that's the case, why don't all the headquarters withdraw from Qingzhou and return the jurisdiction to you, and all the personnel of the headquarters retreat to Yanzhou to find their own way out."

"After the headquarters leaves Qingzhou, it will no longer be an ally with the noble sect. When the Mubei monsters attack again, it has nothing to do with us."
