The desert, a thousand miles outside the Heavenly Dao City, surrounded by mountains, the desert at this time and the desert have been basically wiped out, and most of the areas have become oases, and a small number of areas have been improved by the means of monks, and there is no difference from the rest of the places, with green grass and dense trees.

Of course, there are very few such places, basically only the territories of the big forces in the desert have this kind of territory, and the rest of the places are mainly oasis grasslands, so the desert spends a lot of money every year to maintain these oases, and they need to bring water from other places.

Within a radius of five thousand miles from Heavenly Dao City, there are many mountains, all of which are occupied by the high-level of the Heavenly Dao Sect, guarding Heavenly Dao City like soldiers, and in the same way, the Heavenly Dao Sect will also give them very preferential treatment, such as the shops in Heavenly Dao City, so that they will not rely on the lowly spiritual veins to live.

The Zhang family is one of them, the ancestor of the Zhang family, Zhang Fu, is one of the masters of the Golden Body Period of the Heavenly Dao Sect, one of the controllers of the Sifang City back then, after joining the Heavenly Dao Sect, he quickly washed away, and after about a thousand years of reproduction, the Zhang family became one of the most important forces in the Heavenly Dao Sect.

However, today, the Zhang family ushered in an uninvited guest, that is, Zhong Linyu, Zhong Linyu was ordered by ** Yu to investigate the Xizhou Jingling Mountain tragedy, and one of the culprits of this tragedy is Zhang Dong of the Zhang family, that is, that Zhang Laozu.

Although the Zhang family is an important force in the Heavenly Dao Sect, Zhang Fu is not a close confidant of ** Yu, nor is he born as a thorn god, after the battle between the two clans, the Zhang family has also become one of the targets of ** Yu's restriction and suppression, plus there are many people in their clan, so life is not easy.

Especially for those whose qualifications are not obvious, the family will not waste much resources to support them, so this makes the ordinary clansmen of the Zhang family have to make a living for themselves.

In the desert, whether it is Heavenly Dao City or other places, there are always very few places with more oil and water, and it doesn't matter if it doesn't matter, it won't be the turn at all, so ordinary monks like Zhang Dong have to find their own way to get resources.

Zhang Dong has been running around for many years, and Xuanjing has not made much money, but his wife and children are a lot old, and the expenses are very large, and the little Xuanjing he earns is not enough, so he can only take risks and take some crooked paths.

Zhang Dong didn't know how many times he had done such things as killing people and grabbing treasures, he was lucky, and he succeeded every time, but what Zhang Dong didn't expect was that this time things were so big that he was found to be in the foot.

"Zhang Laozu, I've already made it very clear, hand over the people"

Zhong Lin sat on the main hall of the Zhang family with a grin, his appearance was wandering, in the Heavenly Dao Sect, his image has always been tough, unkempt, and his eyes are above the top.

This is related to his personality, as a small number of henchmen and cronies of ** Yu, and has cultivated a large number of forces, he must be arrogant and arrogant, if he behaves humbly and politely, then even ** Yu will not trust him, because this kind of person often has big plans.

"Elder Zhong, the sect master promised me to give Zhang Dong a chance."

"Ancestor Zhang, at this time and that time, you know better than me what the situation is in the desert now, Xizhou is blocking the border, and the prices of Tiandao City have risen by two percent, and if the blockade continues, everyone will have to drink the northwest wind.

Besides, your Zhang family has many heirs, what is it to die a side branch disciple, it's a big deal to have another one, Zhang Laozu, this Zhang Dong won't be your illegitimate son, right?"

"Elder Zhong said cautiously"

"Be cautious, I don't have much patience, I have to rush to deal with others, a quarter of an hour, hand over the people, I'll leave, otherwise the next time it won't be Zhong alone, but the army of the sect, you can do it yourself"

Zhong Linyu scolded and made his own threat, without giving him any face, and directly told him that if he didn't hand over people, it would be encircled and suppressed by the army, and even the Zhang family would be served together at that time.

Zhang Fu's face was gloomy, he didn't say a word, Zhang Dong's matter was found out a few months ago, and he also went to ** Yu to intercede, at first ** Yu promised to give Zhang Dong a chance, but now he regrets it.

This made Zhang Fu very angry, the family also has to be cohesive, if a family disciple can't keep it, how will the people below look at him, and what face does the Zhang family have to stand on.

"It seems that Zhang Laozu is not ready to hand over someone, okay, Zhong is gone"

"Slow"

"What, Zhang Laozu wants to keep me?"

"Someone, bring Zhang Dong up"

Zhang Fu said coldly, the Zhang family is powerless to be the enemy of the Heavenly Dao Sect, ** Yu defeated them back then, if they disobeyed the orders of the sect on the surface, the Zhang family really couldn't save it.

"Hey, that's right, Zhang Laozu is worthy of being a pillar of the sect, I will make it clear to the sect master when I go back, Zhang Laozu understands righteousness and is a model for my generation of monks."

Zhong Linyu laughed and said, but his words, in Zhang Fu's eyes, were sneering, which made the haze in his eyes even more.

Zhong Linyu carried Zhang Dong and left, and Lianxin had already sent people to surround the remaining nine small families, Lianxin was Zhong Linyu's apprentice, and he acted extremely arrogantly, directly letting people break the mountain protection array of the nine small families, and then forcibly take people away, as for the compensation that Zhong Linyu said, he didn't mention a word.

After an arrest, Zhong Linyu arrested a total of more than fifty people, which is enough to make a difference, and the rest of the people don't matter, Zhong Linyu brought people back to the Heavenly Dao Sect.

**After Yu asked people to interrogate, they were all sent to the Xizhou Jin Kingdom with confessions, and the Jingling Mountain monks killed all the more than 50 people and hung them on the gate of Fang City, and the matter was over.

·········

In Xizhou, Zhao Wuji of Zhao State received a letter from Ye Nanyu, and Ye Nanyu wrote it to Zhao Wuji in the name of the Heavenly Saint Sect, with only one purpose, that is, to continue to fight the desert forces openly.

"Moon Emperor, Ye Nanyu's letter, you read it, what do you think we should do?"

"Emperor Zhao, I think the Heavenly Saint Sect is going to attack the Heavenly Dao Sect."

The Moon Emperor nodded and said, I believe that she has finished reading it, Zhao Wuji does not believe the people of the other countries, but he absolutely believes in the Moon Emperor, the Moon Emperor is not only resourceful, but He Linxiao has a good relationship and is worthy of his trust.

"It's easy for the Heavenly Saint Sect to deal with the Heavenly Dao Sect, there is no need to be so troublesome."

"Emperor Zhao doesn't know, Lin Xiao is different from ordinary people, Lin Xiao hasn't shown up for hundreds of years, it is enough to prove that he wants to take care of the affairs of the sect at all, this time I am afraid it is Ye Nanyu's own idea, and they want to make meritorious contributions."

"Meritorious, what does the Heavenly Saint Sect want to do?"

"It's no surprise, it should be that they want to take over Lin Xiao's position, and Lin Xiao did it on purpose."

The Moon Emperor also said that she was very good at the struggle for power, and she could see at a glance that the Heavenly Saint Sect was unusual.

"Lin Xiao is young, not even in the prime of life, why are you in such a hurry, these people's longevity is not as good as Lin Xiao"

"You ask me, how do I know, anyway, that's how it is now"

"So what do we do?"

"Just do it, Emperor Zhao hasn't seen the situation clearly over the years, the order of the entire immortal cultivation world is controlled by Lin Xiao, follow them, yes"

The Moon Emperor replied, the strength of the countries of the Western Continent is very low, and the entanglement with the Heavenly Saint Sect is very deep, so they have no choice at all, and they must cooperate with the Heavenly Saint Sect.

Now there are not many forces in the immortal cultivation world that do not listen to Lin Xiao's command, and some of them are also having a very miserable life, and Xizhou has no choice in the face of this kind of major right and wrong.

"But if the Heavenly Saint Sect doesn't start a war with the Great Desert, then wouldn't our Xizhou be used as a gun?"

"Impossible, Lin Xiao is not this kind of person, besides, even if they don't go to war, we Xizhou can just go down by ourselves, we only need Ye Nanyu to contain ** Yu, with our current strength, the chance of winning to attack the desert is not low, doesn't Emperor Zhao want to recover the lost territory?"

The Moon Emperor shook his head and said, how can this kind of thing be child's play, if you don't help, you won't help, besides, even if Nanzhou doesn't help, Xizhou will expel the desert forces.

**Yu is ambitious and ambitious, this is what many people know, the desert is congenitally insufficient, and he can't let **Yu show his hands and feet, otherwise he would have soared into the sky.

And ** Yu has never heard of strengthening himself, it's just that these people were suppressed by Lin Xiao, they are the impoverished North Continent to the north, the Central Continent to the east, and the West Continent to the south, everyone knows in which direction the Heavenly Dao Sect is developing.

Therefore, in order to curb the development of the Heavenly Dao Sect, Xizhou must be at the front, and it has been doing this for hundreds of years, and it doesn't matter if he has a tough attitude now.

As for the outbreak of a big war, the Moon Emperor is not afraid, the size of Xizhou is much stronger than that of the desert, as long as someone restrains the ** Yu, then the power of Xizhou can also recover the lost ground and drive the desert monks away.

"Okay, I will give an order to let the border army step up patrols, prevent the desert monks from coming and smuggle, and at the same time, I will also check the desert merchants, and I will never let them have a good time."

"That's right, we can't do two-sided things, just follow Lin Xiao all the way to the dark."

"Don't talk about this, how is the Moon Emperor's cultivation?"

"It's grown a lot, it's not far from the Dongxuan Period, what about Emperor Zhao?"

"I'm also about to go, and I don't know which of you and I will be the first cave monk in Xizhou."

Zhao Wuji nodded, his cultivation has also increased over the years, and he is not far from Dongxuan, this is the honor of Xizhou, the first Dongxuan stage monk.

"It seems that our efforts have been a little bit, there are a lot of cave periods in the Heavenly Saint Sect, and the same is true for the immortal cultivation realm, and in the future in the immortal cultivation realm, the golden body period is really unbearable"

The Moon Emperor shook his head and said, in the past, the golden body period was still very powerful, it was not a problem to dominate one side, and it was okay to stand on its own, but it was a pity that he was infected by Lin Xiao, and his eyes were always on the whole world, and in the whole world, the Dongxuan period was really nothing, let alone the golden body period.

The Golden Body Period can still be an ancestor in Xizhou, but what is it in the world, the Supremes are a lot, so if they want to make their voices heard on the stage of the world, they must have the cultivation of the Cave Xuan Period, or even higher.
