Immortality: Begin by Manipulating Your Shadow

Chapter 173
Day three.

When Lin Yue looked at the dense figures appearing in the sky, his face also became serious.

Burning Heaven Sect, here we come.

Yu Yuhua's face was solemn, and with a flash of light in his hand, he sent out a message talisman towards the stronghold, and then softly shouted to Lin Yue and the others:
"withdraw!"

Without any hesitation, the group immediately withdrew towards the stronghold.

...

Stronghold, inside the hall.

Xu Shouzhang and Tan Hu also looked solemn at this time.

"coming."

Tan Hu breathed out the turbid air lightly, and a chill appeared on his face.

His eyes moved slightly, Xu Shouzhang looked at the deacons in the hall, and said in a serious tone:

"Order to go on, all patrolling disciples return to the stronghold and prepare for battle!"

"Yes!"

All the deacons in the hall took orders with serious faces.

Looking at the backs of those deacons going away, Xu Shouzhang stood with his hands behind his back, his expression solemn.

"Do you think Zhou Chengyuan will make a move this time?"

Tan Hu glanced at Xu Shouzhang, with a bit of chill in his tone.

"Want to avenge the last sword?"

Withdrawing his gaze, Xu Shouzhang looked at Tan Hu.

"Hey~! Of course."

Tan Hu smiled coldly.

"There is always a chance. Zhou Chengyuan probably won't make a move this time, unless Fu Wanyun also comes."

"Fen Tianzong must be holding back some big plans right now. All these actions are probably to cover up the real purpose."

Speaking of this, Tan Hu couldn't help squinting his eyes.

"Of course, no matter what conspiracy Fen Tianzong has, the palace lord has something to say, as long as their elders dare to take action, they will directly start a full-scale war."

"Actually, I think it's better to go to war directly, and wait for Burn Tianzong to finish the arrangements in secret, it's better to take the initiative to attack."

Tan Hu wrinkled slightly every day.

"Then, what if, this is the purpose of Burning Heaven Sect?"

Xu Shouzhang glanced at Tan Hu.

Tan Hu paused for a moment.

"Don't worry, with the Supreme Elder around, even if the Burning Heaven Sect has some kind of conspiracy, it won't be so easy to succeed."

When it comes to the Grand Elder, Xu Shouzhang's expression is full of respect.

Hearing the Supreme Elder, Tan Hu's face also became serious, and he nodded.

After a moment of silence, Tan Hu sighed, and said helplessly:

"I don't know when Burning Tianzong will end the fuss. This action is not big or small. It can't be up or down, and it can't be beaten. It's better to retreat and meditate."

Hearing what Tan Hu said, Xu Shouzhang's expression was also slightly gloomy, but he breathed a sigh of relief after a while, and his face returned to calm:
"Mo Xiao Fengchen is famous and wealthy, and only complains about being in the world of mortals.

Just think of it as a state of mind experience, it's just a retreat, and after a long time, it's not good for the tempering of the Taoist heart. "

Nodding his head, Tan Hu's expression returned to calm.

At their level, they naturally understand.

Cultivation also requires a combination of movement and stillness. Whether it is handling chores in the palace or fighting, it is a kind of cultivation.

In fact, compared to retreat and meditation, the most efficient way of cultivation should be frequent battles.

between life and death
However, there must be corresponding opponents. As the cultivation level gets higher and higher, it becomes more and more difficult to maintain the fighting needs.

If we say that the stage with the fastest cultivation speed is nothing more than the stage from the Qi refining stage to the Nascent Soul stage.

Not only because of the low level of cultivation, it is relatively easy to improve, but also because at this stage, if there is enough fighting and combined with meditation, the cultivation efficiency is extremely high.

On the contrary, at the beginning of the stage of transforming gods, as opponents become more and more difficult to find, the frequency of battles decreases, which has an impact on the speed of breakthroughs in strength.

Although meditation is the main way to improve cultivation, without fighting, it is easy for monks to lose control over their own power.

When breaking through the big realm, it is easy to encounter bottlenecks.

Therefore, it is not good for monks to meditate for a long time...

...

...

Burning Heaven Sect, the main hall.

Lu Yangpeng looked at the elders with a calm expression. At this moment, the discussions among the elders had stopped.

As the current suzerain of Burning Sky Sect, Lu Yangpeng has also broken his heart for Burning Sky Sect these years.

Seeing that the elders had finished expressing their opinions, Lu Yangpeng set his sights on Fu Wanyun's Chuanying:
"Wan Yun, although the preliminary negotiations on the Nanli Mountains side have been successful, they still need to follow up.

The Grand Elder of Luan Hun Hai Taishang has sent a message, and the negotiation has been finalized. Next, as long as the Nanli Mountains are really finalized, it is time to close the net. "

Hearing what Lu Yangpeng said, Fu Wanyun nodded with a serious face. Naturally, he knew that the plan was huge and difficult.

But now, the problem on the Chaos Soul Sea has been resolved.

As long as the Nanli Mountains side can reach an agreement, then the destruction of Tianjue Palace will naturally be a certainty and there will be no escape.

"Don't worry, I'm still [-]% or [-]% sure, and the few monsters who are not willing are basically squeezed out.

Especially the thorn-headed wolf monster clan, the tribes that were willing to cooperate had already joined, and those who were unwilling were expelled from the Nanli Mountains by the tiger monster clan.

A lot of this will be resolved by Tianjue Palace. As these news spread back to the Nanli Mountains, more Yaozu tribes began to agree to the plan.

It's just that there are too many monster races, and they are scattered into many tribes, although there are ways to solve them.

But it would be too much of a waste of time to talk about it tribe by tribe. "

At this time, Fu Wanyun, in the Nanli Mountains, participated in this meeting through the [Xuanguang Condensation Formation].

Hearing what Fu Wanyun said, Lu Yangpeng nodded in understanding.

Of course, he is also aware of the situation of the Yaozu.

The ability of the great elder on the ether, in the sea of ​​chaotic souls, is nothing more than negotiating with several powerful siren tribes.

In the entire chaotic soul sea, there are hundreds of millions of sea monsters, how can it be possible to talk about it?

Moreover, even if they only talked about a few big tribes, the price they paid for the Burning Heaven Sect would not be small.

This time, the plan can only be said to be successful, not to fail.

If the Tianjue Palace cannot be solved, then their Burning Heaven Sect will definitely suffer a great blow. At that time, it will not be possible to solve the problem of the Tianjue Palace.

It's a question of whether they, Burning Heaven Sect, can continue to gain a foothold.

As for the plan of the Grand Elder, Lu Yangpeng still felt that it was too risky.

It's just the identity and status of the great elder in the ether, since he has decided to carry out this plan.

Naturally, he could only respect the opinions of the Supreme Elder.

Of course, the main thing is.

Although the risk of this plan is not low, it does have a high chance of success.

As long as the Tianjue Palace can be solved, the price paid is worth it.

The existence of Tianjue Palace has seriously affected the development of Burning Heaven Sect.With the elimination of the Qitian Sect as a buffer zone, any development plan of the Burning Heaven Sect must take into account the Tianjue Palace behind it...

Thoughts flashed by.

Lu Yangpeng looked at the ninth elder, Guo Zhuohuai, and said with a serious face:

"Elder Ninth, the plan this time is extremely important, and the battle at the junction must be controlled as much as possible to prevent the Tianjue Palace from jumping over the wall in a hurry.

Now a lot of our power is scattered to the Chaotic Soul Sea and the Nanli Mountains. All these actions are just to temporarily hold the attention of Tianjue Palace.

Therefore, I still hope that you can stay calm and don't be impatient. As long as the time is right, we, the Burning Heaven Sect, will naturally seek justice for the Qitian Sect and let you have a clear mind. "

Among the discussions just now, Guo Zhuohuai's opinion was the most radical. As the former deputy leader of the Qitian Sect and the current Ninth Elder of the Burning Heaven Sect, Lu Yangpeng naturally understood why he was so excited.

In this situation, Guo Zhuohuai's mood naturally needs to be appeased.

When Guo Zhuohuai heard what Lu Yangpeng said, his expression softened a little.

"Yes! Suzerain. Don't worry, I naturally understand what it means to put the overall situation first."

Although deep down in his heart, he hoped that the junction would directly teach Tianjue Palace a profound lesson.

But he was also aware of the importance of Burning Tianzong's overall plan, so he suppressed the emotions in his heart and began to regain his reason.

Seeing that Guo Zhuohuai began to calm down, Lu Yangpeng showed a little smile on his face and said:
"I know it's a bit embarrassing for you this time. I asked you to lead the team to the border to assist the deputy suzerain to sit in the border area, but I didn't let you make a move.

This is indeed a bit uncomfortable.

But you also know the current situation in Zongli.

Now the Zongli is severely understaffed, otherwise, I wouldn't let you bear this suffering. "

"Understood, the suzerain doesn't have to worry about me getting emotional."

Guo Zhuohuai nodded and replied to Lu Yangpeng.

Hearing what Guo Zhuohuai said, Lu Yangpeng also heaved a sigh of relief, nodded his head and said to Guo Zhuohuai with a smile:
"Then at the junction, you and Chengyuan will have to work hard. As long as the Nanli Mountains are resolved, the Tianjue Palace will naturally be doomed."

"Yes! Sovereign.

But suzerain, I still have a question. Now [-]% of the core disciples and [-]% of the true disciples have been transferred to the border area. This battle will be dominated by these disciples and deacons.

I'm afraid it will be greatly affected by the competition with the true disciples of Tianjue Palace? "

As a newly joined elder, Guo Zhuohuai was assigned tasks intentionally or unintentionally in many core meetings, which were perfectly staggered.

So he was really not clear about some questions, what was Lu Yangpeng's deep meaning?
Hearing Guo Zhuohuai mentioning this question, Lu Yangpeng's eyes moved slightly, but the expression on his face remained unchanged. He smiled and explained:

"The true disciple competition is nothing more than a small trick to distract Tianjue Palace's attention.

Lin Tian asked that guy obviously not easy to fool, he must have noticed something, so although Tianjue Palace agreed to this suggestion, the time for the true disciple Dabi has not been fixed, and it has been delayed again and again.

Now it is even the big move on the side of the border, trying to mess up our rhythm.

That being the case, it's better to just treat the battle at the junction as a true disciple competition.

Although the method has changed, the effect is not much different.

So you don't have to pay too much attention to the true disciple competition. If the Tianjue Palace continues to procrastinate, it may not be possible.

That being the case, it's better to use tricks, isn't their Tianjue Palace trying to disrupt our rhythm?
Then follow their wishes! "

Hearing what Lu Yangpeng said, Guo Zhuohuai nodded knowingly.

"My subordinate understands."

Actually, the question.

It's not that Guo Zhuohuai doesn't understand, but without Lu Yangpeng's personal confirmation, he is naturally not at ease.

"These are trivial matters. Ninth Elder, you should be able to figure it out, so I didn't waste my time talking."

Guo Zhuohuai moved slightly in his heart, without any change in his face, he bowed to Lu Yangpeng respectfully and said:

"This subordinate understands, thank you, Sect Master, for clarifying the confusion."

"Well, go ahead, the border side will be handed over to you and Cheng Yuan."

"Yes! This subordinate retire."

Guo Zhuohuai saluted Lu Yangpeng again, and then dispersed.

Obviously, he also participated in the meeting through [Xuanguang Condensation Formation].

"You guys should leave too, hurry up and complete your respective missions, Tianjue Palace has obviously noticed something.

We need to speed up, otherwise we may have long nights and dreams, which will only increase the variables. "

Seeing the disappearing figure of Guo Zhuohuai, Lu Yangpeng spoke to the other elders.

"Yes! Sovereign, this subordinate is retiring."

Following the sound, the figures of several elders disappeared into the hall.

Obviously, they all also participated in the meeting through [Xuanguang Condensation Formation].

Seeing the scattered figures of the elders, Lu Yangpeng's eyes moved slightly, he turned his head to look at Fu Wanyun, and said with a serious expression:

"Wan Yun, even if it's difficult, we still have to hurry up. I'm afraid that old guy Wen Daoqi will notice something. The Great Elder Taishang personally dispatched this time, just to save time."

Hearing this, Fu Wanyun nodded with a serious face: "Understood, I'll go to work first."

Following the words, Fu Wanyun's figure also disappeared in the hall.

In just a moment, only the lonely figure of Lu Yangpeng was left in the hall.

As the crowd left, Lu Yangpeng sat on the main seat, the indifference on his face slowly dissipated, and he became a little dignified.

Do not know why.

He always felt that there would be some changes in this plan.

Although he couldn't say why, he just had this intuition, which made him feel a little irritated.

Looking at the empty hall, the expression on Lu Yangpeng's face changed.

After a moment.

With a flash, Lu Yangpeng disappeared into the hall.

...

...

Tianjue Palace, inside the stronghold.

Lin Yue looked at the dense figures surrounding the stronghold in the air.

I thought about it a little bit.

In the past few days, following Yu Yuhua and others to carry out patrol missions, the harvest is still not small.

Because he was too leisurely, Lin Yue also got a lot of information about Tianjue Palace and Burning Heaven Sect from Yu Yuhua and others.

through the collation of this information.

Lin Yue also began to understand why there was such a conflict between Burning Heaven Sect and Tianjue Palace.

Turning to look at Yu Yuhua, Lin Yue's face was solemn.

Yu Yuhua also immediately noticed Lin Yue's gaze, a little smile appeared on his face, and he asked:
"Junior Brother Lin, if you still have any doubts, ask them together, I can help you answer everything I know.

Anyway, Fen Tianzong still needs to build a position, and the battle has not started so soon, so there will still be a lot of free time. "

Lin Yue nodded when he heard the words, and he was not polite, and asked:
"Senior Sister Yu, it seems that it is difficult for us Tianjue Palace and Fentianzong to get along peacefully.

I don't know, under what circumstances will it develop into a real life-and-death battle? "

Hearing Lin Yue's question, not only Yu Yuhua, but also Sun Qingsheng and Xu Fangzheng's expressions became serious.

"Junior Brother Lin, there is no definite answer to this question, but what is certain is that a battle where all deacons are involved is already an extremely serious sign of a major war.

However, compared to a real all-out war, it is somewhat restrained.

Normally speaking, if the elders in our palace and the elders of the Burning Heaven Sect do not take action in the ensuing battle, it should only be regarded as a partial battle.

But once the elders in our palace make a move, or the elders of the Burning Heaven Sect make a move, then the battle will definitely quickly turn into a full-scale war.

At that time, the Palace Master and the Supreme Elders will all go out to join this battle, and we disciples will naturally need to pay our blood, sweat and lives for the Palace. "

Hearing what Yu Yuhua said, Lin Yue's face became serious.

Not only him, but also Sun Qingsheng, Guan Jingjing and the others all looked very serious.

Some of the Tianjue Palace disciples who heard what Yu Yuhua said also had changing expressions on their faces, and their moods inevitably fluctuated.

With Yu Yuhua's answer, Lin Yue knew it in his heart.

The current Lin Yue has begun to figure out a lot of the context of this situation.

Especially after understanding the geographical location of the territory of Tianjue Palace, they have a clearer guess about the current situation.

Why did Tianjue Palace spend a lot of money to solve the Qitianjiao?

According to Lin Yue's thinking, I'm afraid it's not because of the Qitianjiao, but because of the heresy of the devil's way.

These superficial excuses.

It's okay to listen, the real reason is nothing more than Tianjue Palace has already felt that it is bound by this horny bump, and it can only be pushed outward if it wants to develop.

The left, right and rear are either the Chaotic Soul Sea or the Nanli Mountains, all of which are the territory of the monster clan.

Although they are still living in peace with Tianjue Palace, the huge monster clan is obviously not the target that Tianjue Palace wants to offend at will.

Therefore, the Heavenly Absolute Palace would not go too deep into the Chaos Soul Sea and the Nanli Mountains.

Under such circumstances, the Qitian Sect, which was sandwiched between Tianjue Palace and Fentianzong, naturally became the target.

What's more, at that time, the Burning Heaven Sect and the Qitian Sect were getting closer and closer due to some special reasons.

Naturally, Tianjue Palace could only choose to act first, or else they might suffer disaster by attacking later.

only…

Whether this was intentionally done by the Burning Heaven Sect, Lin Yue is not sure.

As soon as the Qitian Sect was wiped out by Tianjue Palace, Burning Tianzong quickly took over the remaining power of the Qitian Sect, and began to have friction with Tianjue Palace.

This made Lin Yue feel that something was wrong no matter how he looked at it.

of course.

These are all Lin Yue's personal guesses based on limited information.

Lin Yue just thought about it in his own heart, and didn't take these conjectures too seriously.

after all.

What are those top powerhouses thinking?What kind of chess are you playing?It's not a small shrimp like him at all, you can guess it.

However, now this situation.

According to Lin Yue's guess, it might be impossible to stop the fight, and the battle will only become more and more intense.

However, with the understanding of Tianjue Palace these days, Lin Yue has some confidence in the strength of Tianjue Palace.

Although now on the whole, Tianjue Palace is indeed a little inferior to Fen Tianzong.

But not too weak.

The possibility of defeating Fen Tianzong is naturally not high, but self-protection is still more than enough...
