The Nine Swords elder who came to the aid of the West Palace was named Xie Qingyi. He inherited the Great Fear of Heaven based on his seniority. He was not very famous among the Nine Swords and was very low-key.
Although he was low-key, Xie Qingyi was at least a Nine Swords Elder. Once the news came out, it immediately attracted a large number of onlookers.
The imperial court did not keep the public waiting for long and showed rare high efficiency. After two days of interrogation by the Xuanyin Division, it was confirmed that there were signs of activities by the remnants of Qing Gan on Tianjian Peak.
It didn't take long, less than a thousand years of dormancy.
By the way, Qing Qian's means of subverting Wu Zhou's rule were also exposed, and the addresses of the dragon-trapping formations in the three eastern states were accurately pointed out.
Dragon trap formation.
The dragon trapped in the earth veins has cut off the path to becoming an immortal. The secret realms in the three eastern states have appeared one after another recently, and it is all related to this formation.
One stone caused a thousand ripples, especially at the mountain gate for practice in the three eastern states, where the anger was so great that it seemed to dye half the sky red.
The Dragon-Trapping Formation was a one-time formation, and most of it had been destroyed by the Tianjian Sect at this time. However, the traces of time could not be concealed, and the cultivators arrived at the corresponding location according to the published intelligence and soon dug out the ruins of the formation.
You can rebel if you want, but why do you want to block our path to immortality
The public's anger can be imagined when the melon-eating incident happened to them. Qing Qian instantly became a rat crossing the street that everyone wanted to beat, and even the Tianjian Sect was not well received.
Faced with this kind of blame, the Tianjian Sect naturally would not admit it and put the blame on the Huangji Sect.
Every time the secret realm appears, there is the shadow of the Huangji Sect. When you hear the gongs ringing in ten places, nine of them are him. Everyone knows who activated the Dragon Trap Formation. Don't treat everyone as fools.
You know what, there is some truth to it.
The Huangji Sect has always been a people who does not care about others' affairs, and has always done things like taking advantage of others and then passing the buck. This is not something they have not done before.
Rumors were flying everywhere, mixed with some truth from time to time. The onlookers became more and more confused, and finally they were completely at a loss as to what to do.
…
Yuezhou.
The Lingxiao Sword Sect's leaning towards the Xuanyin Division has not caused much waves in Wu Zhou. The recent news has been more and more intense, and the people of Wu Zhou don't care how the Lingxiao Sword Sect stands.
But in Yuezhou, Lingxiao Sword Sect is the top one, and Sect Leader Lin has his own traffic, so the fact that he turned to Xuanyinsi did cause quite a stir.
First of all, there were doubts from the Sword Cultivators of the Iron Sword Alliance. The Heaven Sword Sect might have framed someone, or it might have been controlled by Qing Qian. But even if we, the Sword Cultivators, were broken, we would still be connected. If we stood on the side of the Xuanyin Division, our relatives would be sad and our enemies would be happy. We finally managed to get out of this situation, but suddenly we were trapped again...
Isn't it good to remain neutral
Neutrality is the right of the strong. In the face of the general trend, the weak seem to have many options, but in fact they have no choice, as everything has been clearly arranged.
Lin Buyan did not say these words out loud, as that was the nature of a sword cultivator. There was no need to force it. He saw off all the leaders one by one with a kind smile on his face.
As a hardworking head, Lin Buyan is well aware of the difficulties of running a large family and business, and he believes that these people will figure it out sooner or later.
Moreover, it will happen in the near future and won’t take much time.
Now let’s talk about the Yuezhou Huangji Sect branch.
Yuezhou is a high-level map of Wu Zhou, with tough folk customs, many mountain gates for spiritual practice, and across the river from the mighty Chu. From a geopolitical perspective, it is enough to influence the entire Wu Zhou.
The Huangji Sect stationed a large number of troops in Yuezhou to resist Xiong Chu, while also governing the local mountain sects that were unruly.
In the battle of Beijun Mountain, Huangji Sect was led by the nose by Xuanyin Division and lost three great elders. Its reputation was ruined and it became a stepping stone for Lu Bei to become famous. It can be said that it lost both its wife and its soldiers.
The Huangji Sect was gearing up for a big fight with the Tianjian Sect, but was stabbed in the back by one of their own people. Could they swallow this anger
Definitely not!
After some discussion, the Council of Elders directly drew a blockade line and asked the Xuanyin Division to take the lead to defend against the invasion of Xiong Chu.
They were sacrificing their lives and blood on the front line, but the Xuanyin Division, on the other hand, pretended to be weak and pitiful, growing stronger in secret, sucking the blood of the Huangji Sect while stealing their jobs.
There is no such good thing in the world. I won’t serve you anymore!
Xuanyinsi can defend this blockade line or not. If it cannot, Yuezhou will be handed over to Xiong Chu.
Huangji Sect's move was somewhat vindictive, but it was also a helpless move. In the two battles of Shuizeyuan and Beijunshan, Huangji Sect lost four great elders, Zhu Wei, Lu Zhou, Zhu Yuan and Zhu Xiuzhu. If the infantry divisions who were slightly injured and far away from the line of fire were included, the high-end combat power of the sect was reduced by nearly half.
Some are injured, some are disabled, what can they use to fight against the Iron Sword Alliance
The Huangji Sect’s meaning is very simple. Today is different from the past. It is impossible to expect them to fight against the Tianjian Sect. The landlord has no surplus food, and the Xuanyin Division must take action.
Xuanyinsi is just an intelligence department, where could it find such experts? Faced with the aggressive and threatening Huangji Sect, the royal family could only step in and mobilize personnel and troops to fill the gap.
Within five days, the personnel on the Yuezhou border defense line were quickly mobilized, one batch after another, which frightened the powerful Chu on the opposite side. They thought that Wu Zhou was going to launch an unexpected surprise attack, so they quickly withdrew troops to stockpile on the border.
The Huangji Sect, which had freed up its hands, focused its attention on the western front. The situation in the three western states was treacherous and unstable, the emperor was far away, and the Huangji Sect's influence here was far less than that of the Tianjian Sect. In order to prevent unnecessary sacrifices, a large number of personnel evacuated the three western states in an orderly manner.
Referring to the strategic plan of Huangji Sect, the Eastern Territory will contain Xiong Chu so that he dares not start a war. The Western Territory will gather heavy troops and wait for the right time to flatten Tianjian Sect with a thunderous force, without giving Qi Yan a chance to fish in troubled waters.
As for the harassment from the small country in the north, the Huangji Sect did not take it seriously and sent a great elder to visit every household, and the tiny country would soon calm down.
The Huangji Sect has been planning for a long time. When Lu Bei first started the platform, it was because of the elixir orders from Dashengguan that he had the resources to feed the hungry leeks.
Ignoring the accident at Beijun Mountain, the grand strategy formulated was almost impeccable.
The Tianjian Sect is not a mere decoration. They have been planning for a longer time and have been planning for hundreds of years to recover Qingqian.
In just one day, the sword-cultivating forces of the Iron Sword Alliance in the twelve states of Wu Zhou began to stir. Those who were close moved directly towards the three western states, while those who were far away would find something to do with the Huangji Sect whenever they had time, in order to distract the Huangji Sect's forces and prevent them from being concentrated in the western border.
The situation has temporarily reached a stalemate, and a stirrer is needed to break the deadlock.
—
“A-choo!”
Lu Bei scratched his nose and exited the official forum.
As he expected, version 1.0 was about to be launched, and it was not delayed too long, with only one month left before the end of the public beta.
That’s good. If it’s delayed for too long, I’m afraid that once players log in, they won’t even be able to find Tianjian Peak.
Where did such a huge Tianjian Peak go
Especially for the players who joined the Tianjian Sect. They had just been led on the path by their master and were daydreaming about their grand plans, but suddenly the sect gate was gone and they became wanted criminals. They must be so angry that they cursed.
These past few days, Lu Bei's life was very ordinary, boring and without any fun at all.
Bai Jin's short retreat ended, and when he heard the news that Huangji Sect was defeated and retreated, he became completely withdrawn.
Lin Buyan has placed high hopes on her since she started practicing. Her first goal in life is to break through the fusion stage and use her great momentum to kill Mei Wangsu, the root cause of the civil war in Lingxiao Sword Sect.
As a result, Lu Bei helped with the breakthrough, and it was also Lu Bei who killed Mei Wangsu.
He punched the cotton, holding his breath in depression. He finally waited for the opportunity to repay his master, but in the blink of an eye, he was dealt with by Lu Bei again.
It was a good thing, but Bai Jin also wanted to contribute her own strength to the mountain gate. Every time, it was her junior brother who charged into battle, while she enjoyed herself in peace in the back, which made her feel a little uneasy.
It obviously wasn't like this at the beginning.
Bai Jin vaguely remembered that when he first arrived at Sanqing Peak, Lu Bei was still an ordinary boy who was afraid of heights. He was also very respectful to his senior sister and was very measured and polite in his words.
Now…
"Junior brother, stop hugging me, you should practice for a while too."
Bai Jin pushed the pretty boy in her arms. She had no way to deal with Lu Bei.
"There is no rush for cultivation. Senior Sister, have you thought clearly about the Immortal Sword Intention?"
Lu Bei nodded his head and said, "The content of Yin-Yang Separation and Combination is extensive and profound. As long as you and I practice together, it won't take long for you to master the Immortal Sword Intent."
Bai Jin rolled his eyes. What you said sounded really nice. Is that your fellow cultivator's Immortal Sword Intention? That's clearly...
Bah, so cheap!
"Senior sister, this wink is very interesting. Don't give it to me next time."
Lu Bei laughed and waved his hand to disperse the black and white colors. The two returned to the studio and Bai Jin regained his freedom.
"Junior brother, those seniors outside have been waiting for you. Don't you plan to give them an answer?"
Bai Jin asked Lu Bei about the purpose of the forty-seven sword cultivators' visit. Because of their identities as sword cultivators, she had great respect for the Immortal Sword Master Qi Li Jing. If Lu Bei could become the second Immortal Sword Master, she would naturally be happy.
"What these people want is the Immortal Sword Intent, and what they respect is the Immortal Sword Intent. They have nothing to do with me from beginning to end."
Lu Bei curled his lips and said in dissatisfaction: "Too arrogant, who are you putting on airs for? Leave them alone for a while. When they know how to bow their heads, it won't be too late for me to see them again."
Becoming the second Immortal Sword Master has its pros and cons.
Generally speaking, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. Guarding a Tianjian Peak is better than guarding dozens of Sanqing Peaks. It can be regarded as a first-class platform in Wuzhou. There is no need for advertising and there will be endless stream of leeks coming to the door to be harvested.
Just this point alone made Lu Bei extremely excited.
As for the challengers attracted by the fame of the Immortal Sword Intent, Lu Bei said that it was not a big problem. As long as he reaps the benefits fast enough, the challengers will not be able to catch up with his upgrade speed.
Moreover, this was also an experience that came to him proactively, so he didn't have to go to great lengths to search for it.
But first, he had to train his younger brothers. The forty-seven sword cultivators all had frank expressions and looked like righteous men, which was very different from his style...
wrong.
The forty-seven sword cultivators seemed well-behaved and polite, but in fact, each one was more arrogant than the other. They did not come to find the sect leader, but to find tools.
It's so funny. A tool dares to treat its master as a tool. Is there any law or order left? Do we still need to abide by the law
Lu Bei made up his mind that if there was still one person standing and not kneeling among these forty-seven people, he would not be the leader of the Tianjian Sect.
"Junior brother, where are you going?"
"I've been so affectionate with my senior sister these past few days that my hands are all calloused. I'm going to go out and pick a few people to beat up and smooth out the calluses on my hands."
"Pfft, you're talking nonsense again."
