Mao Ku and Hu Tao are both in the early stage of the innate realm, but Mao Ku has just recently entered the innate realm, and his cultivation is slightly worse than Hu Tao.

After Wu Song joined the battle, the two sides were evenly matched.

Hu Tao used his cultivation, the butterfly love trick was activated, and countless Yuanli butterflies appeared in the night sky, fluttering, and rushed towards Wu Song and Mao Ku.

Maoku's weapon was a harpoon, and he poured Yuan Force into it, only to see a small glowing ball appear at the top of the harpoon.

Maoku pointed the ball at Hu Tao and emitted a red light.

Hu Tao hurriedly mobilized the Yuanli Butterfly to resist, and the two sides intersected, and a series of explosions erupted in the air.

Wu Song's body shook, came behind Hu Tao, picked up the Celestial Elephant Fist, and punched him in the back.

Hu Tao noticed it in time, flashed to the side, avoided Wu Song, and drove the Yuanli butterfly to fly over.

Wu Song carried the divine blade without a shadow, flipped his palms and flew down, knocking down the Yuanli butterflies that attacked one by one.

Over there, Mao Ku stepped forward, raised the harpoon in his hand, and sent another red light at Hu Tao.

At the same time, Wu Song also took out the short stick weapon of the ancient Wan clan and emitted a white light at Hu Tao.

Hu Tao was immediately panicked under the attack of the two, and only had time to mobilize the Yuanli butterfly to resist the red light of Mao Ku. As a result, he was hit by Wu Song's white light, only to hear Hu Tao's wail, and his body flew out upside down and fell a few meters away.

Wu Song rushed over and smashed Hu Tao's head with a punch, smashing his head to pieces, resulting in his life.

Wu Song and Mao Ku turned around and rushed to Lin Yu's side to deal with Yuan Lei with him.

Under the attack of two Innate Realm masters and one Body Refining Realm master, Yuan Lei quickly became chaotic.

Yuan Lei avoided the sword stabbed by Lin Yu, and was about to dodge to the side, but Mao Ku emitted a red light and hit him.

Fortunately, Yuan Lei protected his body with Yuan Li in time and removed the red light, so he was not injured.

But just after such a delay, Lin Yu had already arrived, and a sword stabbed him in the chest.

Yuan Lei hurriedly retreated, but a huge force suddenly came from behind him, smashing on his backbone.

Yuan Lei only felt that his spine was about to break, and his body flew out, he was busy using Yuan Li in the air, and only after landing did he barely stand firm. It's just a sweet throat, and I've already suffered a lot of internal injuries.

Just now, Wu Song took advantage of the battle between Yuan Lei and Lin Yu, secretly came to his back, and won a blow.

"Yuan Lei, you are desperate, surrender quickly. ”

Wu Song said sharply.

"Hmph, don't rejoice too soon, we'll see you later!"

After Yuan Lei finished speaking, he pursed his lips, and a huge bird flew from the night sky. Yuan Lei jumped onto the bird's back and flew into the night sky.

I didn't expect Yuan Lei to be a bird mount, which was beyond everyone's expectations. Wu Songzhi was about to take out the red spar, fly in the sky, and chase Yuan Lei, but the speed of the flying bird was too fast, and in the blink of an eye, Yuan Lei had already flown far away.

However, although Yuan Lei was gone, Zhang Yilu and others were rescued and Hu Tao was also killed, and the harvest of this night was huge.

Wu Song and the people of the White Crane Gate killed all the people of the Feng Ming Gate, and then went to the Feng Ming Gate headquarters to search for anything useful.

Xu Wen should have been hiding in Fengmingmen before, but they searched the Fengmingmen headquarters and found no trace of Xu Wen. Come to think of it, he must have gotten the news in advance and fled.

Then they returned to the headquarters of Baihemen, where Zhang Yilu and the others had already returned.

Everyone rested for a few days at the Baihemen headquarters, during which Lin Yu told them something.

In today's Xuanwu world, excluding the Xizhou where the demon clan is located, just the Dongzhou where the human race is located, there are two hundred and thirty-six Xiuzhen sects.

Among so many Xiuzhen sects, all of them are small sects that are attached to the big ones. The Yipin Sect is attached to the sect that is stronger than him, all the way to the Ninth Rank Sect.

For example, the Lingchong Sect, the Tianyun Monarch and the Red Army Monarchy, the Xiuzhen sects within the Three Kingdoms, all rely on the True Martial Hall of the Four Rank Sects.

The various resources required by these cultivation sects are all controlled by the True Martial Palace. It is precisely because of this that there will be the Battle of the Three Spirits.

And the True Martial Hall of the Four-Rank Sect is also attached to the sect that is stronger than it.

On the surface, the Xiuzhen sect in Dongzhou is how to determine the master-slave relationship based on the strength of the master.

But in fact, it was all the old yellow calendar, and now the pattern of the cultivation realm is no longer like that.

Now most of the forces in the cultivation realm have been co-opted by the Heavenly Chamber of Commerce.

According to the investigation of the White Crane Gate, two hundred and thirty-six sects, at least one hundred and fifty sects, have taken refuge in the Heavenly Chamber of Commerce.

Cultivating the truth is a very financially expensive thing, pills, exercises, weapons, any of which costs a huge amount of money.

For ordinary sects below the third grade, money is an important factor restricting their development.

Without money, there is no way to buy high-grade pills, high-level exercises, and good weapons, and without these things, the sect will not be able to cultivate masters.

And the most important thing for the Tianyu Chamber of Commerce is money, and with money as a bargaining chip, the Tianyu Chamber of Commerce quickly attracted a large number of sects.

As for the sects above the fourth grade, although they are not short of money, they lack connections. If the sect wants to make great progress, it needs the help of many parties.

In terms of contacts, the Tianyu Chamber of Commerce is also rich in resources.

Relying on this, they have attracted many higher-grade sects.

In the current cultivation realm, the Chamber of Commerce faction can be said to be the most powerful.

The second is the Golden Crow Sect and the Jade Rabbit Sect, both of which have attracted many followers.

The teachings of the Golden Crow Sect and the Jade Rabbit Sect are opposite, but the number of followers is comparable. Each sect has about twenty-five sects as its followers, so that the followers of their two sects are fifty sects.

As for the rest of the sects, they are neutral factions, and so far, no one has joined.

"So, what is the purpose of the Heavenly Chamber of Commerce to attract so many sects?"

Wu Song asked.

"For the sake of profit, they will do everything that is just profitable. With the support of the monks, there are very few people who can fight against them. It is no exaggeration to say that the current Tianyu Chamber of Commerce is enough to confront any county. ”

Lin Yudao.

"I'm afraid it's not just against the county, they have laid such a big stall, maybe for the throne of the Heavenly Empire. ”

Zhang Yilu frowned.

"The throne of the Celestial Empire?"

Wu Song didn't understand what Zhang Yilu meant.

"The current leader of the Heavenly Chamber of Commerce is Long Tian, the great prince of the Heavenly Empire, and the rightful heir to the throne of the Heavenly Domain. It is said that if nothing else, once the old emperor dies, then the Heavenly Empire will fall into the hands of Long Tian.

But the old emperor was paralyzed in bed five years ago because of his illness, unable to speak. Since then, it has always been the empress who conveys the emperor's will on behalf of the emperor to maintain the operation of the government.

Although it is said that the queen will convey the holy will on the surface, no one knows whether what the queen said is the emperor's meaning or her own meaning.

It's just that in a few years, almost all the power of the empire is in the hands of the queen and her mother's family. And the son born to the queen and the emperor is the seventh prince Long Ao, since the queen took power, this Long Ao has repeatedly taken important positions.

first served as the general of the Northwest Frontier to quell the rebellion, Long Ao was only fifteen years old at the time, and no one could see that he was just a temporary post, just to add a good-looking resume to himself.

Then he moved into the cabinet and handled government affairs.

Long Tian is not a fool, of course he can see that if this continues, his position as the crown prince will be in jeopardy.

The power of the court, he can't fight the queen. But there are not all temples, there is a world that is wider than temples, that is, rivers and lakes. Long Tian asked the Heavenly Chamber of Commerce to attract so many cultivators, just to confront the queen forces in the temple. ”

Zhang Yilu analyzed.

"In this way, once the old emperor dies, the Heavenly Domain Empire will inevitably set off a bloody storm. ”

Wu Song said.

"I'm afraid that's the case, the queen has the power of the DPRK and China, and the eldest prince Long Tian has the power of the rivers and lakes, the temples and the rivers and lakes, who can win in the end, no one can predict.

However, what is certain is that no matter who wins, the power of the cultivation realm will change greatly in the end. ”

Zhang Yilu said slowly.

The changes in the cultivation realm will naturally affect Wu Song and them, as for whether they will usher in luck or bad luck, this is unknown.

Four days later, everyone's injuries were mostly recovered.

Everyone said goodbye to Lin Yu and continued on the road.

According to the map obtained from Xu Wen's house, the last ruin found by the Golden Crow Sect was a hundred miles to the west.

They set out in the morning, and in the evening, they arrived at their destination.

There is a swamp, which the locals call the Moshao Swamp.

The swamps are extremely wide, with a radius of hundreds of miles.

The location shown on the map is in the middle of the swamp.

The swamp is full of silt, and ordinary modes of transportation are simply impassable.

Everyone had no choice but to rely on the red spars of the ancient races to fly over.

Gangfeng Yang Shuang and Niu Jianing were waiting outside the swamp, and Wu Songxian and Zhang Yilu flew over to investigate.

The two of them flew in the air, and it was late in the evening, and fog began to rise on the swamp, and under the hazy fog, the situation in the swamp could not be seen clearly.

The two searched over the swamp for a long time as shown on the map, but found nothing. The fog came up in the blink of an eye, and from a few meters away, you couldn't see anything.

In desperation, the two had no choice but to return, join Gangfeng and them, and spend the night outside the swamp.

The next day, after the sun came out, the fog cleared.

Wu Song and Zhang Yilu flew into the swamp with red spars again, and this time they quickly found a place.

It was on a small island in the swamp, and it was obvious that there had been a stay. There are also buildings on the island that have not been demolished, as well as traces of excavations.

The two of them landed on the island to investigate the situation on the island.

After only a few steps, they felt that there was something unusual about the soil under their feet.

Walking on it, I just feel very soft. Wu Song squatted down and grabbed a handful of soil with his fingers, wiped it carefully, and then understood that these soils were all new soil.

In other words, the island was not formed naturally, but was filled with soil from elsewhere.

Both of them couldn't help but be amazed by this discovery, how much manpower and material resources would it take?
