Chapter 81: The Crisis of the Heavenly Saint Sect
Heavenly Saint Sect, in Gongmingfang City, although the Fang City was closed after nightfall, it was a pity that there was still no rest, and the disciples of the Heavenly Saint Sect stationed in Fang City were patrolling.
With the outbreak of the Three-State War, the Fang markets in Tianyun Prefecture have been closed, and now there are only three Fang Cities in the entire Tianyun Prefecture that are still running, the first is naturally Tianluo Chengfang City, Tianluo City is very close to Danyang Sect, and Danyang Sect still has the strength to control it.
The second is the Fang City of Tianhaimen, the border camp of Tianhaimen is only two hundred miles away from the Fang City, and the Fang Market over there has become the logistics base of the big camp, and the guard force has increased dramatically, which is naturally enough to control.
And the third is the Gongmingfang City of the Heavenly Saint Sect, the Heavenly Saint Sect is reluctant to close because it cannot be closed, Lin Xiao invested more than 400,000 Xuanjing funds for this war, and hollowed out the entire Heavenly Saint Sect's family fund, and now Gongmingfang City has become the largest source of wealth of the Heavenly Saint Sect, and it is not willing to close it at all, otherwise the hundreds of people in the mountain gate of the Heavenly Saint Sect will have to drink the northwest wind.
As one of the only three Fang cities in Tianyun Prefecture today, the passenger flow of Gongmingfang City has skyrocketed again, and those who have no place to go are gathered in Gongmingfang City, and now the second batch of buildings has not been built, and the first batch of small courtyard inns have all been filled with guests, and the guests of Gongmingfang City have exceeded its reception capacity.
At present, among the long-term residents in Fang City, there are more than fifty Condensing Vein Cultivators alone, and the number of guards plus the Heavenly Saint Sect's shop is less than sixty, which makes Bai Xixi's pressure extremely great.
Therefore, Bai Xixi quickly took measures, such as immediately closing the gate of Fang City in the evening, imposing a curfew in Fang City, and at the same time organizing reputable businesses in Fang City to join the guards of their merchants in the way of reducing or reducing management fees, increasing the guard force to more than 100 people.
However, these measures still only lasted a few days of calm, and some people began to stir up, not wanting to miss this God-given opportunity.
"Uncle Bai, I have already found out, sure enough, it is them, those traitors in the past, they colluded with scattered cultivators, and now there are more than 100 people, hiding in the forest ten miles away, Uncle Shi, what can I do?"
When he arrived at the south gate, the Fang City formation flickered, and a figure appeared, it was Zhao Xiaoliu, a member of the Fang City team, who had just come in from outside, and shouted anxiously when he saw Bai Xixi.
Two days ago, Bai Xixi keenly felt that there was a series of loose cultivators in Fang City, and the secret way in his heart was not good, so he asked people to investigate secretly, so Zhao Xiaoliu even risked Chengfang City to follow those people.
"The people outside don't have to worry, the key is the people in the market, if they make trouble at a critical moment, we can't stop them from inside and outside."
"Then what should I do, uncle, we promised the head of the house, we must guard the city"
"Don't worry, calm down, I've already sent a message to the mountain gate, and there will be reinforcements then"
Bai Xixi replied, although she was also anxious in her heart, but she was very calm, because she knew that anxiety was useless.
Don't look at the current Heavenly Saint Sect, there are more than 1,000 new disciples, but there will be no more than 150 people who can really use it, the head Lin Xiao has transferred more than 60 people, and there are only more than 80 people who can use it, and these more than 80 people have to be stationed at the mountain gate, Fang City, and Baiwu Mountain, it can be said that the strength of the Heavenly Saint Sect at this time is extremely weak.
Therefore, asking for help is also a comfort to Zhao Xiaoliu, because it is impossible for the mountain gate to give her support, the mountain gate is the most important foundation of the Heavenly Saint Sect, and the Fang City can be rebuilt if it is gone, but if the mountain gate is gone, the Heavenly Saint Sect will be finished.
"The most terrible thing is actually not that those people are attacked, but that they are afraid that they will stir people's hearts and coerce them to scatter cultivation, and there are more than 1,000 scattered cultivators in the entire market, if they make chaos at the same time, they can't be stopped no matter what, just like the turmoil of the Heavenly Saint Sect a few years ago."
Bai Xixi thought in his heart, the turmoil in the Heavenly Saint Sect a few years ago The Bai family had studied it in depth, and the reason for this was that a group of inner disciples were dissatisfied with Lin Xiao becoming the head of the sect, and they coerced the disciples to force the palace, but in the end, it caused a big disaster.
Their Bai family felt very strange about this, because they knew Lin Xiao's ability very well, and felt that with his skills, he should be able to quickly quell the rebellion, and it would not cause the fate of the future at all, I really don't know what Lin Xiao thought at that time.
At this time, the situation in the Fang market is a bit similar to the beginning, these casual cultivators are also under the guise of the shops in the Fang City, and once they make a mess, they will loot their wealth, so Bai Xixi will not give them this opportunity.
"Your four squad leaders are the elite of the Heavenly Saint Sect, once there is a problem in the Fang City, you must take responsibility, here are four afterimage talismans, one for each of you, remember, if the alarm sounds, the four of you will immediately rush to the four areas of the Fang City, the middle cross avenue is the formation, when the time comes, I will open the formation to divide the people, and then paste the afterimage talisman, with the power of thunder to kill all the people in turmoil on the spot, deter the enemy, after the matter is completed, you don't leave, continue to guard, the enemy outside the Fang City will be solved by me." ”
Soon, Bai Xixi summoned the four squad leaders of the law enforcement team, they were all the most loyal disciples of the Heavenly Saint Sect, and their cultivation was also about ten layers of the opening vein, with the afterimage talisman and the equipment on their bodies, unless they were monks above the tenth layer of the condensation vein, they would rarely be their opponents.
And what they have to do is to suppress the vast majority of ordinary casual cultivators when they are in turmoil, and not let them be coerced, so as to resolve the crisis.
In addition, Bai Xixi also has some other measures, such as continuing to cooperate with merchants and letting them contribute more manpower, and there is a semi-closed market, which is not allowed to enter, and the number of monks in the market is not controlled within a safe range, and no longer allows guests to come in.
············
Heavenly Saint Sect, inside the mountain gate, Li Fengyue led many disciples to patrol the mountain with a cold face, the entire mountain gate of the Heavenly Saint Sect includes a territory within a radius of thirty miles, among which there are many mountain peaks, but the core area is only one or two miles away.
Since Lin Xiao led people north, the Heavenly Saint Sect has basically closed the mountain gate, and the outermost formation and the core formation are open twenty hours a day, which is a great burden for the Heavenly Saint Sect, even if no one attacks, it will consume nearly two hundred Xuan Crystals every day to support the operation of the formation.
However, it is not enough to just have a mountain protection array, the formation is a dead thing if no one maintains it, with the current strength of the Heavenly Saint Sect, it is impossible to maintain the patrol defense of the outer formation, so Li Fengyue has already given up the outer formation, and only uses them as a warning formation, and it is these core areas that are really defended.
"Senior Brother Bai, you're back"
Li Fengyue saw Bai Chenxi who came in a hurry on the way, and was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly went up to greet him.
"Elder Li, do not disgrace your mission, Bai Chenxi has come back from reconnaissance"
"How is it, Senior Brother Bai, what kind of situation is it outside?"
"Basically, the investigation has been clear, this time it is a multi-party alliance to capture my Heavenly Saint Sect"
"Ah, this, this, how can this be"
"Elder Li, don't worry, listen to me slowly, there are three parties I know now, the first one is Li Xingwu, a loose cultivator who has a deep hatred with Master Lin, and their brother a few years ago..."
Bai Chenxi slowly said the news he had found in the past few days, two days ago, Shanmen received Bai Xixi's request for help, and knew that someone was plotting against Gongmingfang City, and he was immediately shocked, and at the same time, he also expected that someone would want to attack Shanmen.
So Bai Chenxi, who has a lot of experience in the rivers and lakes, personally went down the mountain to investigate, and quickly found out the reason, this time it was the three parties who joined forces, the first party was Li Xingwu, the great enemy of the Heavenly Saint Sect, and the Purple Mansion Sanxiu who was almost killed by Lin Xiao back then.
Back then, they infiltrated the Heavenly Saint Sect, I don't know what the purpose, but the result was that Li Xingwen was killed, Li Xingwu was so frightened that he fled, and then Li Xingwu went to the Assassin Organization to buy assassins to assassinate, but he also fell short, such as today's Yunzhou War, Lin Xiao was not in the sect, he naturally felt that this was the best time, so he gathered a group of colleagues to take revenge on the Heavenly Saint Sect.
The second group is the group of casual cultivators who hunted demon beasts in Black Wind Valley, all of them said that casual cultivation was poor and scattered cultivation was weak, but there was no shortage of outlaws among the scattered cultivators, and those who dared to go to Black Wind Valley to hunt demon beasts did not lack fierce and cruel character.
In the first two years, Lin Xiao asked his disciples to go to the Black Wind Valley to practice, and it was inevitable that there would be some conflicts with the scattered cultivators, and the disciples of the sect had always been strong, and they didn't dare to do anything because the Heavenly Saint Sect had Purple Mansion monks, but Liang Zi must have been formed, and the equipment of the disciples of the Heavenly Saint Sect also made them red-eyed, so the Heavenly Saint Sect was so weak now, it was natural for them to want to take advantage of the fire to rob.
The third group is the defected disciples of the Heavenly Saint Sect back then, the Heavenly Saint Sect is so powerful now, in fact, they have long wanted to come back, but Lin Xiao is extremely disgusted with this group of people, and the attitude he has shown several times is extremely tough, and the few people who came to be spies last time were finally disposed of by Lin Xiao.
Therefore, this group of people may have hated because of love, or maybe they had the support of Bishui Pavilion behind them, and they had already infiltrated the vicinity of the Heavenly Saint Sect, preparing to take advantage of the fire to rob.
The targets of these three groups of people are all Heavenly Saint Sect, and soon they will gather together, and they are still the kind that are above board, they are now connecting in private, constantly expanding their manpower, and many people in the rivers and lakes know about it, so Bai Chenxi can find out the news so easily.
"One Purple Mansion, fifty condensing veins, nearly three hundred open vein cultivators, is this the heavens going to destroy my Heavenly Saint Sect?"
After several years of training, Li Fengyue was already stable enough, but at this time, he was still extremely frightened, this force was not something they could stop at all, and the danger of the destruction of the Heavenly Saint Sect was just around the corner.
"No, Senior Brother Bai, we must not let them destroy the Heavenly Saint Sect, we will send a message for thousands of miles, please come back"
"Elder Li, don't worry, now that the war in the north is still ongoing, the head can't come back, and don't be scared by them, although they are outnumbered, but we are not without a chance of winning, they are just a group of rabble, as long as a few leaders are killed, the rest of the people will naturally scatter."
Bai Chenxi immediately stopped Li Fengyue, now Lin Xiao can't come back at all, and they are not without a chance to win, you must know that Lin Xiao left them enough treasures, and the Heavenly Saint Sect is actually capable of protecting themselves.
