Time slipped away day by day.

In the blink of an eye, it is the middle of winter, and every household is full of lights and laughter, preparing for the upcoming New Year.

In the past few months, the research of the Li Yan Clan has continued, and the cultivation of the disciples of the Daoling Sect has also continued, and everything is developing in a good direction.

The concentration of aura in the Ming Domain has also stabilized, which is as much as four times that of the Hua Domain, which is completely comparable to the Golden Purple Domain.

Therefore, Yu Ling traveled back and forth between the northern frontier of the Ming Domain and the southern Ming Prefecture, and also sent many disciples to the Ming Domain to cultivate in turn, anyway, the two places were already bordering, even if they didn't use flying machines, a Tongxuan cultivator could go back and forth several times a day.

Everything seemed to be calm, even if the situation in the Huayu region collapsed and returned to the chaos before the Nine Domains Great Competition, it did not affect the Dao Ling Sect in the slightest.

Because everyone knows that the Daoling Sect is the biggest overlord in the Huayu, not to mention that Yuling's strength alone can sweep the entire Huayu, and the overall strength of the Daoling Sect alone is not what it used to be.

Today's Dao Ling Sect has long since lost the Transformation Fault Line, coupled with the terrifying number of Phantom God cultivators, even if many forces in the Huayu have the shadows of the fiefdom countries behind them, no one dares to provoke the Dao Ling Sect easily.

The Great War of the Five Kingdoms over the Sealed Domain was still going on, and half of the territory of the Yunlong Kingdom had fallen into the hands of the enemy, but Long Chenxi's resilience and determination also surprised everyone, even if the Yunlong Kingdom was about to be destroyed, he did not have the slightest intention of despairing and giving up.

The army of the Yunlong Kingdom has grown from two million to eight hundred thousand, and it stands to reason that if any country is changed, it should have been panicked and on the verge of collapse, but Long Chenxi did not, and the high-level generals of the Yunlong Kingdom did not show signs of defecting to other countries, and the calmness and composure of the upper echelons deeply affected the ordinary cultivators and civilians of the Yunlong Kingdom, even if they were worried day by day, but the original life continued.

It is not so much that the territory that Yunlong Kingdom fell was defeated by the Four Kingdoms, but that Long Chenxi took the initiative to give it up, because every time the Four Nations Alliance Army occupied a city, they would be depressed to find that the resource reserves had long been empty, and the masters in the city had already withdrawn in an orderly manner, leaving them with nothing more than a meaningless empty shell and some low-level cultivators and civilians.

The territory of the Cloud Dragon Kingdom is getting smaller and smaller day by day, but this speed is slowing down day by day. The Four-Nation Coalition was overwhelmed at the beginning, but later it became difficult.

I have to say that the land area has shrunk, and the defense line will become shorter accordingly, and the defense work of the Yunlong Kingdom has become easier and easier, but the four countries are busy digesting the newly acquired territories and cities, and are busy pacifying the local people, and many conflicts and contradictions have occurred.

On the one hand, there were constant uprisings and rebellions among the cultivators in the territory, and the four countries were softened and pacified while suppressing them bloodily, and they were tormented and frustrated; on the other hand, there were also many contradictions within the coalition forces, such as who was in charge of the newly defeated city? Why should the soldiers of our four countries fight it together and not me?

All kinds of problems like these have seriously slowed down the pace of the Four-Nation Alliance, and this is what Long Chenxi wants to achieve.

Drag, drag on, drag on until the collapse of the Quad Alliance.

With more than 500 years of accumulated savings and the consumption of the four countries, the Yunlong Kingdom will certainly be greatly damaged and will not regain its former glory, but as long as the Yunlong is not destroyed, it will have the opportunity to make a comeback in the future.

That is to say, the hearts of the four countries are not aligned, and they are not monolithic, which gives Long Chenxi the opportunity to delay his tactics.

If it was said that from the beginning, Long Chenxi had expected the current situation, Yuling had to say that he admired it. I'm afraid that if he changed the previous Yunlong Emperor, he might not be able to do better than his son.

It is estimated that the war of the feudal domain will be difficult to end in a few years, unless there are some new variables.

Yu Ling had no intention of mixing in this muddy water, but the entire Seventeen Domains was in turmoil, and he couldn't be left alone after all.

On the last day of December, when the cold rain and wind were freezing to the bone, a purple-clothed man in a black cloak suddenly visited Dao Ling Sect, breaking the peace and tranquility that had been quiet for several months.

……

A quiet room.

"Is the Jade Sect Master really unwilling to agree to this cooperation?"

Across the sandalwood table, the man in the cloak said with a little disappointment.

"The domain is too far away, and I have no intention of interfering in the affairs over there. Yuling said lightly.

"But as far as I know, if the Jade Sect Master uses a flying machine, he can reach the Cloud Dragon Kingdom within a day. The cloaked man said.

Yu Ling looked at the mysterious man opposite, and said quietly, "You know a lot?"

The cloaked man smiled lightly and said, "It's not just us who know, the whole domain knows. ”

"What do you mean?" Yu Ling's eyes froze.

The man in the cloak said calmly: "I'm afraid the Jade Sect Master doesn't know yet, your sect has some traitors, and the five feudal realms and the Western Five Color Domains have all obtained the corresponding information, saying that the Jade Sect Master has a spirit crystal vein in his hands, a top soul power domain field in the whole world, as well as walkie-talkies, flying machines, and other foreign inventions and research objects, guess what everyone thinks of this?"

Yu Ling lowered his eyelids slightly, and did not look shocked, but said calmly: "Are you threatening me?"

The man in the cloak said unhurriedly: "The Jade Sect Master may have misunderstood what I meant, I just kindly reminded you, and at the same time once again affirmed that cooperating with my family is definitely a mutually beneficial good thing, why should the Jade Sect Master insist on refusing it?"

Yu Ling sneered: "If that's all there is to it, you can go back now." ”

The man in the cloak said regretfully: "Jade Sect Master, I don't believe you can't see the benefits in the meantime, even if you take a little risk, it's worth it, isn't it?"

Yu Ling just said lightly: "You go back and tell Li Xiuran, is he fooling me as an idiot?

The man in the cloak was speechless for a while, and before he could open his mouth to continue, Yu Ling interrupted in advance: "Also, during the final match of the Nine Domains Competition, a green-clothed girl secretly laid a tracking charm, it should also be from your handwriting, right?"

"But this has no effect on the Jade Sect Master, and my family has no malicious intent. The man in the cloak argued.

"I'm just advising you, no matter what your purpose is for secretly paying attention to the geniuses of the various domains, anyway, I have already had people erase the tracking charms placed on the disciples of the academy, I hope you don't fight their ideas again. Yuling said plainly.

He gently put down the teacup in his hand, which was regarded as an eviction order.

"Since the Jade Sect Master has said so, I won't be bored anymore. ”

Without speculating words, the man in the cloak could only hug his fists and hurriedly turned to leave.

The moment he stepped out of the threshold, he suddenly paused, and then spoke: "If the Jade Sect Master refuses to believe my family's lord, then I have nothing to say, I just hope you can understand as soon as possible...... Dao Ling Sect's current situation. ”

Yu Ling ignored his words of hidden threat, and just watched the purple-cloaked man drift away under the rain curtain.

The deep cold filled the night, and the bleak wind and rain whined and whimpered, adding to the coldness.

As if to indicate that this cold night is not destined to be peaceful.

Early the next morning.

The rain had stopped, Yu Ling walked out of the cultivation meditation room, and a cold wind blew in his face, although it didn't matter how much he wore with his blood condensation martial artist's physique, but the cool breath seemed to seep into his bones.

Yu Ling let out a breath lightly, and a shallow white mist suddenly floated in front of him, this was probably the coldest winter in Nanming Prefecture in recent years.

Before he could walk out of the courtyard, Huang Santu rushed in in a hurry, with a somewhat irrepressible look of shock on his face, and said urgently: "Sect Master, something is wrong!"

Yu Ling's heart jumped, but he still said calmly: "Don't worry, speak slowly." ”

Huang Santu seemed to be infected by his calm and calm gas, and the anxiety on his face calmed down a little, but he still said with great solemnity: "Last night, the domain lord's mansion was raided by a group of unknown masters, the domain lord fell and his wife fled with his children overnight, life and death are unknown, the position of the domain lord is now taken over by Nie Zhao, this person was originally a powerful subordinate of the domain lord of the domain, and his prestige was quite high, so he quickly stabilized the situation......"

Unknown Master Raid ...... The Fall of the Lord of the Domain...... Nie Zhao took over the position......

This series of news exploded like thunder, and it was simply unexpected.

Yu Ling was speechless in a daze, and only came back to his senses for a long time before interrupting, "Wait! You mean, the Lord of the Huayu Domain is dead?!"
