Qeng Ho Mage

Chapter 286

"The Gouye people came prepared."

Fang Dushu felt that Qi Chang's defense would be very difficult.

He began to inquire about the start time of the battle: "Patriarch, when will the Gouye people launch the bridge attack?"

"We haven't got accurate information, but it's not too far before they attack the bridge." Qi Daoming looked at him: "Otherwise, I wouldn't be in such a hurry to call you here."

"Since there is no information, how did the Patriarch make a judgment?" Fang Dushu was curious about this.

"Recently, we have captured a lot of Gouye monks, and we learned from them that this time the eastward invasion of Hexi's world of cultivating immortals, how to fight is based on the order of the Six-pointed Temple." Qi Daoming revealed:

"The original plan of the Liumang Temple was to disturb the rear of the Hexi General Altar through the internal response, and transfer our Hexi monks away from the Panshi Bridge, and then concentrate our forces to attack the bridge."

This is a strategy to turn the tiger away from the mountain, but there are certain risks.

The main altar of the Hexi sects is a secret place, and it has been operated by the monks of the various sects for many years, and there is a covenant of mutual support between the various sects, which allows the monks of Hexi to take advantage of the geographical location and harmony. A moment of carelessness will destroy the whole army.

"Recently, the Gouye people's liaison department responded to the sneak attacks launched by the main altars of various factions. Although they succeeded a few times, they also failed a few times." Qi Daoming introduced:
"The people who attacked the Zhenwen faction were completely wiped out, and none of them escaped. These Gouye people are all elites from the six fairy kingdoms of Tianjuemo, and many of them are members of the royal family. Obey the order of the Liuman Temple to continue to attack the main altar."

At present, the Six Points Temple and the Six Royal Families have disagreements on the combat strategy.

The reason why the Liumang Temple wanted to attack the hinterland of the main altar of the Hexi Three Kingdoms was to make the Hexi monks exhausted between the main altar and the Panshi Bridge, so as to minimize the loss of attacking the Panshi Bridge.

However, the defeat of Zhenwen faction's operation in the past few days made the six royal families realize that the strategy of Liumang Temple was not effective. Instead of achieving the goal of attacking the east and attacking the west, it caused the loss of soldiers and generals of the six countries.

If you continue to obey the orders of the Six Points Temple, the future losses may be even greater.

That being the case, it would be better to directly attack the bridge, let everyone have a head-to-head battle, and decide the winner in an open and honest manner.

In order to appease the dissatisfaction of the six royal families, the Liumang Temple made a compromise, changed the battle plan, and decided to temporarily terminate the plan to attack the main altar. Let the six royal families attack the bridge first to test the defensive ability of the monks in Hexi.

The current Hexi Immortal Cultivation World has been split into the Three Kingdoms sects. In terms of cohesion alone, their strength is inferior to that of the Great Pan Immortal Kingdom thousands of years ago.

The strength of the Six Points Temple and the Six Royal Family is not much different from that of thousands of years ago. In such a comparison, perhaps the attack on the bridge can achieve results.

After Fang Dushu heard the situation, he sighed softly: "Could it be that the Gouye people had planned to attack the bridge in advance because they wiped out the monks of Prince Sacred Elephant and Prince Hulu?"

Qi Daoming did not deny it: "Water has no form, soldiers have no form, they have suffered heavy losses in the Zhenwen School General Forum, and they will definitely make adjustments in time."

Fang Dushu was puzzled: "But the Temple of Liumang still advocates sneak attacks and is not willing to attack the bridge! My disciples heard that the Temple of Liumang is the center of power of the Gouye people. Don't they have absolute binding force on the six royal families?" ?”

"From the information we have collected, the strength of the Six-pointed Temple is comparable to that of the Six Kings. The number of Nascent Soul monks on both sides is roughly the same. Apart from the advantage of having the Six-pointed Holy Tree, the Six-pointed Temple cannot Inflict total suppression on the six royal families."

Qi Daoming is a Nascent Soul cultivator, and his sources of information are relatively reliable, because he and the patriarchs of various sects are capable of suppressing and interrogating each other's high-level officials.

Today's power distribution of the Gouye people has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Thousands of years ago, the Liuman Temple was the only one in Tianjuemo, and the strength of the temple could crush the six royal families.

However, after the Battle of Hexi, the Templar monks suffered heavy losses and their strength was weakened, which gave the six royal families a chance to rise.

Having said that, both the Liumang Temple and the Six Royal Family are Gouye people, and all the monks in the Temple of the past were selected from the Six Kingdoms. They are originally one body, so why should they be divided into each other?

In the final analysis, it is a question of identity.

The temples of the past dynasties screened disciples without distinguishing backgrounds. As long as they had high talent and aptitude, they would definitely be accepted by the temple and focus on training them. All are treated equally.

The Six Royal Families recruited all the children of the rich and powerful. Even if they recruited poor monks, they would also be recruited by marriage.

This led to a divergence of interests between the temple and the royal family.

The monks of the temple have no distinction of identity, and no secular fetters. All of them are committed to the pursuit of longevity.

But the six royal families focus on the rule of the king and the longevity of the family.

Thousands of years ago, when the monks of the Temple divided the territory of the six countries, their original intention was only to select disciples more conveniently, and enslaved the six countries as servants, planted spiritual grass, smelted magic soldiers, and raised monsters to give to the temple. The many practices of monks do service.

However, as the six royal families continued to grow, their strength gradually caught up with the Six-pointed Temple, and they planned to get rid of the "Supreme Emperor" of the Six-pointed Temple.

From the perspective of the six royal families, there is no need for the temple to exist at all.

In fact, the current overall strength of the six royal families has surpassed the temple. If the six countries are willing to unite, they can completely destroy the temple.

But after the temple is leveled, how should the next benefits be distributed, and which country should inherit the sacred tree?The six royal families were all worried that they would be annexed, so they never attacked the temple.

However, as long as there is an ambitious person in the six royal families, there may be an outbreak of internal fighting in Tianjuemo. Judging from the trend, the conditions for the unity of the six kingdoms and the temple are already met.

At this juncture, the long river suddenly re-flowed, and all the ovens in the temple and the six kings' rooms were taken away. This caused the conflict between the six royal families and the temple to be suppressed, and they had to temporarily unite and unanimously communicated to the outside world. , and launched a labor-intensive expedition.

This is also the reason why the temple has no binding force on the six royal families.

Qi Daoming introduced here, focusing on a kingdom: "According to the reliable information we have received, there are four Gouye people's mid-Yuanying leaders, and only one is occupied by the temple, and the remaining three are in the six royal families. The Juye Kingdom has two of them alone, and this country is also the leader that Mr. Gouye introduced this time!"

"Giant Night Kingdom?"

Fang Dushu didn't know much about the power of the Gouye people, so he wondered, "Why is the name of this country so weird?"

"It is rumored that there are sandstorms in the sky above the border of the Juye Kingdom all the year round, blocking the sun and causing no daytime weather in the territory."

Qi Daoming said: "The giant night people live in the dark all year round. All the monks have mastered supernatural powers. Their eyes are naturally brown, which is easy to identify. You should pay more attention to them when you meet them in the future."

Fang Dushu immediately thought of the Mu Siye he met at the fork of the Li River back then. This person had strange eyes: "Part of the Mu family in the Kurong Sect seems to have this alienated characteristic."

Qi Daoming nodded: "That's right! The royal family of Ju Ye is also surnamed Mu!"

"What! Then they..."

"They are the descendants of the Juye Kingdom left over from the thousands of years of war!"

"Since their identities have been confirmed, why not destroy them first?"

"Because the news of the resumption of the long river has just spread, the old ancestor of the Mu family of the Kurongzong, together with the old ancestor of the Sen family of the Dayong Qingye faction, sneaked into Tianjuemo, traveled to the land of the Gouye people, and attacked and suppressed them. A Nascent Soul cultivator from the temple, and brought this monk’s Nascent Soul back to Hexi, and handed it over to the Patriarchs of the Three Kingdoms sects to dispose of, the important information we have collected about the Gouye people basically comes from this Nascent Soul!”

"Why did the ancestors of the Mu family and the Qingye faction do this?"

"To show loyalty to fellow Hexi! Their ancestors are all descendants of the Gouye people, but after more than ten or even dozens of generations of reproduction, they have already integrated into Hexi, and they don't plan to serve the Gouye people!"

Fang Dushu had already investigated the news that Kurong Zongmu's family and Qingye Pai Sen's family might be descendants of the Gouye people.

However, Fang Dushu did not expect that the Yuanying Patriarch of the two factions would take the initiative to admit his identity as a descendant of the Gouye people, and sneaked into Tianjuemo to collect information at the risk of his own life.

It seems that the real insiders are the low-key monks like Master Hu Xiaowen and Ling Guya who don't reveal anything in their daily life, so that they can be caught by surprise.

A monk like Mu Siye who showed Gouye's supernatural power early on is not qualified to be a traitor.

Fang Dushu couldn't help shaking his head: "After all, they are descendants, and they must secretly hold the Holy Leaf Taoism. Their sincerity may not be reliable!"

Qi Daoming asked back: "But looking at the Three Kingdoms of Hexi, who has absolute sincerity?"

Everyone gathered here to unite against the Gouye people's soldiers. If they are defeated afterwards, more than [-]% of the monks may surrender by then.

If not, Qi Daoming would not be single-minded about rescuing Qi Changzhen. All the monks who are stationed here today are planning their own path to longevity. They can sacrifice everything for longevity. Protect them from disaster?
Kurongzong and the patriarch of the Qingye School personally went to Tianjuemo to hunt down the monk Yuanying, and established hatred to stand against the Gouye people, directly blocking the way to surrender.

From the perspective of risk analysis, the possibility of the Kurongzong and Qingye sects surrendering is lower than that of other sects in Hexi.

The two factions have expressed their loyalty to such an extent, if the Hexi factions still do not let them go, they can only exterminate them, but how easy is it to destroy the two sects?In the end, Hexi's vitality will be seriously injured.

To accept the two factions and let the two factions be used by oneself is the decision made by the founders of the schools in Hexi.

Fang Dushu had no right to interfere, so he asked Qi Daoming: "The Gouye people have four leaders in the mid-Yuanying stage, patriarchs, how many are there in the world of cultivating immortals in Hexi? Are there any patriarchs in the late Yuanying stage?"

Qi Daoming stretched out three fingers towards him: "Each of the three kingdoms in Hexi has an old patriarch in the mid-Yuanying period. As for the late-Yuanying period, it is too difficult to advance, and there is no one at present."

There are 22 sects in the Hexi Cultivation Realm, and the total number of Yuanying Patriarchs does not exceed fifty. With such a rare number, it is difficult to emerge such a great figure as in the late Yuanying period.

The chances of being born in the stage of the gods are even lower. Anyway, in the land of Hexi, in the tens of thousands of years of historical records, there are so few sages who have cultivated to the late Yuanying stage, and there has never been a master in the stage of the gods.

Fang Dushu became interested in exploring, and asked again: "During daily life, disciples always hear about the reputation of the Yuanying Patriarch of various sects, but there is little information about who is the early stage and which is the middle stage. Can the patriarch tell the disciples?" ?”

"These three mid-term patriarchs are currently staying in the main altar of Xiaoyuan Temple. Once the battle for climbing the bridge breaks out, they will show up, and you can see them all at that time."

In fact, with Qi Daoming's lifespan, he is not much younger than the three mid-stage patriarchs, but his cultivation is just a little bit worse: "The mid-stage patriarch of Dayong Kingdom is Sunflower Granny, she created the Sanhua Sect, but this sect only has her Nascent Soul Patriarch, a bug disaster broke out in the snowy field decades ago, and she was injured by Luo Demon King!
Later, Luo Mo Yaowang went to attack the Qingye Sect, but was repelled by the Qingye Shuangshi. After the battle, the Qingye Shuangshi was unscathed. Therefore, the comrades all believed that the most powerful sect in the Dayong Kingdom was the Qingye Sect! "

There are ten sects in Dayong Kingdom, except for Qingye School which has two Yuanying Patriarchs, the others are all one. After the test of Luo Mo Yaowang, Qingye School is also recognized as the number one in strength, but because of the identity of the descendants of Gouye, Qingye Shuangshi could not be the leader of Dayong Sect.

The sunflower mother-in-law in the mid-Yuanying period is the leader recommended by the Dayong factions.

The situation of the sect of the Dali Kingdom is similar.

Among the seven sects of the Li Kingdom, apart from the Houpan Sect having two Yuanying Patriarchs, and the mid-stage Patriarch also coming from the Houpan Sect, this sect is the overlord of the Li Kingdom, so there is no objection.

This time, the Panshi Bridge gathered for righteousness, and Hou Panzong unswervingly led the factions of the Li Kingdom.

Fang Dushu is a cultivator of the Li Kingdom, and he had heard about the Hou Pan Sect very early: "I heard that the Hou Pan Sect was founded by the descendants of the royal family of the Da Pan Immortal Kingdom in the past. This should not be false, right?"

Qi Daoming said: "The descendants of the Dapan royal family have become extinct. The last concubine of the royal descendants took over the inheritance of the Dapan Immortal Kingdom, and then founded Ji Panzong. After this concubine passed away, her descendants rebuilt the descendants Panzong, so the current Hou Panzong, although it has a word 'Pan', actually has nothing to do with the Dapan royal family!"

However, the foundation of the Hou Panzong came from the Great Pan Immortal Kingdom. In order to commemorate it, the word "Pan" has continued to the present, so there is absolutely nothing wrong with calling them descendants of the Great Pan.

"The patriarch Fulu of the Hou Panzong has less than a hundred years of advanced Yuanying middle stage, and his life expectancy is younger than mine."

Why didn't Qi Daoming want to become a mid-term monk, but his qualifications were limited, and his cultivation stagnated in the early two or three hundred years, and he couldn't make it to the top, but this was the normal state of Yuanying monks.

Everyone generally can't rush up, and those who can rush up are old lucky stars.

Qi Daoming also mentioned a secret to Fang Dushu: "Before he knew his weakness, the last Nascent Soul cultivator who was recruited by the Shangzong was from the Fu family of Houpanzong. After counting, this old senior already has Eight hundred years old, he is the same generation monk as the ancient monk Wanglei of Xiaoyuan Temple, he is extremely talented, and his cultivation should have reached the late Yuanying stage."
