Chapter 318: Turning Point
After the victory of Yuchicheng, Chen Hai and Dong Ning's many actions in Lucheng no longer put the interests of Hexi first, which has made many people in the sect and the Dong family dissatisfied, but everyone will not believe that Dong Ning may one day break with the Dong clan and the sect, and it is for a man who has humiliated her.

However, Sun Quanzong had to consider that Chen Hai might have a deployment in Lucheng, even if they really wanted to make any moves, they should also take a two-pronged approach to Liquan and Lucheng to ensure that nothing went wrong.
"Could it be that Chen Hai has colluded with the Demon God Temple?" Chen Zhiyi asked, sitting opposite Sun Quanzong, frowning.
Chen Zhiyi is over seventy years old, and he has only only cultivated in the late stage of the Ming Realm, and the chance of cultivating the Dao Dan in this life is slim, but as the lord of the Chen family, he served as the head of the Metropolitan Protector General's Mansion, and has always been one of the most important advisers around the prince Dong Chou.
Chen Zhiyi never showed his good feelings or dislike for Chen Hai in front of the prince Dong Chou, but only analyzed the problem objectively for the reference of the prince Dong Chou.
It can be inferred from the worst situation that even if Dong Ning really wants to betray the sect and break with the Dong clan, with Ge Xuanqiao, Ran Hu and others in Lucheng to contain him, it is far from enough to rely on the Elite Army, and the Ye Clan cannot easily be tied to the Elite Capital Protectorate.
Chen Hai must have a great reliance before he dares to say such a thing, and the biggest reliance that Chen Hai may have behind him can only be the Demon God Temple.
Only the Demon God Temple's brazen attack can completely cut off Hexi's control over Lucheng.
Otherwise, Dong Ning alone would betray the sect and break with the Dong clan, and he would not be able to become a power.
And the biggest evidence supporting Chen Zhiyi's inference is that Miao Mingcheng, the elder of the Demon God Temple, was sitting in Lucheng at this time.
If the Demon God Temple only traded one or two core components of the Divine Machine Chariot or the Divine Crossbow through Lucheng every month, there was no need to let a figure like Miao Mingcheng stay in Lucheng for a long time, which actually directly suppressed Hexi's control and influence on Lucheng.
There is another sentence that Chen Zhiyi did not say, but I believe that the princes Dong Chou and Sun Quanzong can think of it, that is, why did Chen Hai persuade the Demon God Temple, which was recuperating, to take the risk of completely tearing his face with Hexi and colluding with them?
Lucheng is carrying the Taiwei Sect and the Dong clan on his back, and he is already secretly supplying the quenched iron materials of the Demon God Temple!
"This lone wolf who can't be raised. Sun Quanzong said hatefully.
Even if their guesses were true, even if they had insight into all of Chen Hai's layouts and conspiracy, they found it extremely difficult to crack Chen Hai's layout and conspiracy.
If they exert too much pressure, once Lucheng falls to the Demon God Temple, the problem will become extremely tricky - the Demon God Temple once coveted Lucheng from the deep mountains in the southern part of Lukai Gorge, and was intimidated by Chen Hai and Ge Xuanqiao joining forces afterwards, but it still maintained this possibility.
Once Chen Hai is allowed to stay in Lucheng's lineage, collude with the Demon God Temple, completely control Lucheng, and work with Changle City in the west of the Pinglu Great Oasis to force the Ye clan to fall to the Demon God Temple, how many elite soldiers and horses will Hexi have to send to win control of Lucheng?
The two quenching gold placer mines are not in the realm of Hexi, but Hexi is inseparable from the supply of these two quenching gold placer mines, which is the key to Hexi's current dilemma in this matter, so that Chen Hai completely lost control.
"Maybe it's time to ask Chen Hai to return to the sect to practice. Chen Zhiyi said to the prince Dong Chou.
Hearing Chen Zhiyi say this, Zhao Ruhui was shocked, and Chen Zhiyi suggested that the prince Dong Chou imprison Chen Hai.
Dong Chou hesitated.
"Shizi, this matter needs to be dealt with decisively, otherwise there will be endless troubles. Sun Quanzong also said firmly.
Seeing that Sun Quanzong and Chen Zhiyi both advocated this, Zhao Ruhui was even more surprised.
"Zhao Ruhui, what do you think of this matter?" Dong Chou was still unable to decide, looked at Zhao Ruhui and asked.
Zhao Ruhui stubbornly said: "Although Chen Hai is unruly, he has no behavior that harms the sect, and I hope the prince will think twice." ā
"Are you saying that no one can make Chen Hai bow his head?" Chen Zhiyi stared at Zhao Ruhui with compassion and asked.
Zhao Ruhui didn't know why Chen Zhiyi put Chen Hai in such a situation, but seeing that the prince Dong Chou had been provoked by Chen Zhiyi, his face was full of anger, and he knew that others were soft-spoken, and it was difficult to change anything.
The prince Dong Chou still had the intention of defending Chen Hai before, but if the prince Dong Chou also believed that Chen Hai's existence would threaten the Dong family and the Taiwei Sect, who could persuade him to change his mind?
Zhao Ruhui was extremely sad in his heart, knowing that Chen Hai was really going to be imprisoned, and the situation of the children of the Hanmen in Hexi had changed slightly, and it would suddenly fall to the bottom.
At this time, he can also understand why Chen Zhiyi wants to stab this knife at this critical time, in fact, after Chen Hai's rise, the Zhaoyang Pavilion Marquis Mansion is thriving, and the Zhaoyang Pavilion Marquis Mansion is full of children from the Han family, and the close relationship Xie Wenzhuo, Xie Wenchan, and even Chen Lie's only daughter Chen Qing and other sect lords are overshadowed.
In addition, with the rise of the Zhaoyang Pavilion Marquis Mansion, the Chen family's descendants did not take advantage of it at all, and with this, Chen Zhiyi did not want to continue to tolerate Chen Hai.
"Wait here, I'll have someone go and get it for you. The prince Dong Chou said to Sun Quanzong in a deep voice, and then took out the golden sword talisman he carried with him, sealed the edict into it, and threw the golden sword talisman in the direction of the Tibetan Machine Palace.
The heavy treasures of the sect such as the Binding God Rope will not be given to any disciple at will, and they are usually stored in the Tibetan Machine Palace, and when they need to be used, they can be borrowed from the Tibetan Machine Hall - and the Tibetan Machine Hall is also the place where the gods usually cultivate.
Zhao Ruhui looked at Sun Quanzong and Chen Zhiyi with joy on their faces, he was so sad that he was sitting in the cold hall.
However, after a while, the golden sword talisman thrown by the prince Dong Chou flew back to the Demon Palace, but he didn't see anyone in the Tibetan Machine Hall asking for the god of binding and sending it.
Zhao Ruhui felt strange in his heart, and when he saw that the prince Dong Chou took the golden sword edict, his expression became solemn, and he didn't know when it happened.
"Father asked us to come over for a while. The prince Dong Chou put away the golden sword, stood up, and flew in the direction of the Tibetan Machine Palace.
Sun Quanzong and Chen Zhiyi then flew out of the Demon Palace, and Zhao Ruhui couldn't confirm whether the prince let him go too, so he hesitated for a while, and then he stiffened his head, got up against the wind, and flew in the direction of the Tibetan Machine Palace.
********************
The Tibetan machine hall is said to be a palace, but the palace is hidden deep in the belly of the mountain, from the outside, it is just a valley locked in the clouds and mist in the depths of Taiwei Mountain, and the aura is rich.
Although Zhao Ruhui has been in the sect for more than 80 years, he has not had the opportunity to step into the Tibetan Machine Valley.
Two old men in green shirts sat on the rocks in front of Stone Creek and played against each other.
Shenhou Dong Liang's appearance looks like he is in the prime of life, and his eyes are shining, although he sits there very calmly, and there is no strong momentum to leak out, but he looks at it like an abyss and a vast sea, giving people a feeling that they can't see their heads.
And the old man in the green shirt sitting opposite the Shenhou Dong Liang, with thin cheeks, white beard under the chin and chest, is Chen Jun, the ancestor of the Chen family.
Chen Jun is in Taiwei Sect, and he can even be regarded as Dong Liang's uncle in terms of seniority, like Ge Xuanqiao, he is a late cultivation in the Dao Dan Realm, and he is a figure who became famous two hundred years ago, but looking at his beard and hair, he is more than two hundred and fifty years old, but he does not show his old age at all, which shows that his cultivation is slightly deeper than Ge Xuanqiao.
Chen Jun is also Chen Zhiyi's ancestor, after the Western Expedition, he has been in retreat and cultivation in the depths of Taiwei Mountain for more than 20 years, no one knows that he actually came out of the customs, and he is still playing chess with the god Hou Dong Liang for fun.
Chen Zhiyi was taken aback, and after seeing the Shenhou, he met with a group of people to meet his grandfather: "When did my grandfather get out of the customs, Zhiyi still doesn't know." ā
"You've made such a big fuss, I don't think it's possible to meditate and retreat. Chen Jun smiled slightly, and the implication was that he deliberately walked out of the cave mansion for today's matter.
"Your little baby of the Chen family, it's too disturbing, you can't just sit idly by," Dong Liang said with a smile, and then turned around and asked his eldest son, Dong Chou, "You came over to borrow the Divine Suo, what are you going to do with Chen Hai, tell me......"
Chen Zhiyi and Sun Quanzong looked at each other, over the years, what decisions did the prince Dong Chou make, even if there was something wrong, the Shenhou would never directly interfere, this is also to maintain the authority of the prince Dong Chou in Hexi.
Shenhou summoned them all at this time, obviously extremely dissatisfied with their handling of Chen Hai.
Dong Chou didn't need to put up any shelf in front of his father, nor did he need to speculate on his father's thoughts, but he truthfully said that Chen Hai was uncontrollable and might pose a threat to the Taiwei Sect and the Dong family, and finally said: "It may be inappropriate to use the Divine Rope, why don't you ask Master Chen to draft a handwritten edict and ask Chen Hai to return to the sect to practice?" ā
Dong Chou still insisted on his opinion, but his methods could be slightly softened.
Zhao Ruhui thought that things had taken a turn for the better, but he didn't expect that the son Dong Chou's idea now became extremely firm.
The prince Dong Chou ruled Hexi, there was nothing improper in these years, and the Shenhou may have doubts about such a treatment of Chen Hai, but it is impossible to force the prince Dong Chou to change his mind.
"......" Dong Liang sighed slightly, and as soon as he flicked the sleeves of his robe, he saw a black chariot rolling out of his robe sleeves and landing steadily on the stone ground in front of him.
Of course, this is not the primary divine chariot manufactured in batches by Juquanling at this time, it is about twice as large in size, and it also looks more dignified, standing there steadily, like a cliff mountain.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Ruhui was taken aback, he didn't expect that the old man of Shenhou and his old man would be unwilling to be lonely and try to cast a more powerful divine chariot with his own hands......
"Father, what is this?" Dong Chou asked in confusion.
"Chen Hai left Juquanling two years ago, and put forward several conditions for the manufacturing of the intermediate god machine chariot, the craftsman association, the body of the car should be doubled, the grassroots generals should be able to control independently, the axles and armor in all directions should be comprehensively strengthened, and the speed should be increased by one-third," Dong Liang sighed slightly and said, "Maybe you are all thinking, isn't this simple? I thought so at first." Now it seems that it is not that simple......"
