Just when Lu Yan fled, three hundred miles north of Xueyan Gate, Bai Zichen led the battleship to frantically snipe the tens of thousands of reinforcements from the Chunyang Palace, the battleship flew over the reinforcements, and one hundred and twenty Xuanjing cannons fired wildly, Bai Zichen and the other three Daogang monks were desperately trying to contain the other party's Daogang monks and prevent them from rushing up to destroy the battleship.

The monks of the Pure Yang Palace fought extremely bravely, although they paid a great price, pushing the battle line from eight hundred li to three hundred li, this distance is very short in the world of immortal cultivators, and it may not take long to push it to the foot of Xueyanmen Mountain Gate and relieve Lu Yan.

However, just these three hundred miles made the monks of the Pure Yang Palace disheartened, not because of how heroic the battleship was, but because Lu Yan appeared, and Lu Yan, the god in the heart of the monks of the Pure Yang Palace, actually fled.

Immediately afterwards, a large number of flying boats appeared, Dao Gang and Zifu, all of them were fleeing for their lives, like lost dogs, which made it very difficult for the monks of the Pure Yang Palace, who had been the overlord of the Lu Kingdom for thousands of years, to accept.

Immediately, their rout triggered a terrible scene, even this batch of reinforcements began to turn around and flee in the direction of Jingzhou, Bai Zichen did not chase, at this time to catch up, it was extremely unfavorable, he just fired a few shots at random, and then let the battleship land, and the monks on the battleship began to go down to clean up the battlefield.

An hour later, the last of the monks in the Xueyan Gate was killed, and as far as the eye could see, there were either monks who had surrendered on their knees, or monks who had fallen in a pool of blood.

Lin Xiao ordered to clean up the battlefield, capture the prisoners, and count the materials and capture, this work took a full three days, although the monks of Danyang Sect and other sects urged Lin Xiao to enter the army to attack Jingzhou and eat Chunyang Palace, so that he could go to Yujing City to loot, after all, everyone who has been to Yujing City knows how prosperous it is, and it is several times more prosperous than the strongest Gongming City in Tianyun Prefecture now, but Lin Xiao refused.

The reason given by Lin Xiao is very simple, he is unable to fight, and the casualties in this battle Tianyun Prefecture are not small, of course, Lin Xiao's real reason is that the Pure Yang Palace is still needed to resist the invasion of various forces such as the Eclipse Kingdom, once Tianyun Prefecture annexes the Pure Yang Palace, not to mention the cost, in the future, Tianyun Prefecture will have to guard against the two great enemies of Cangguo and Tianeclipse Country, and Xiang State in the east of Lu State will also have to be guarded against by Tianyun State, which is extremely unfavorable for the high-speed development of Tianyun Prefecture, after all, just hoarding troops on the border is a lot of consumption.

In three days, the battlefield was cleaned up, and after a decisive battle, most of the main force of Chunyang Palace was wiped out, and there were about 60,000 monks in Chunyang Palace and Baiyan Prefecture, and only about 10,000 people escaped, of which less than 7,000 were taken away by Lu Yan, and the remaining more than 3,000 people fled around after them, and Lin Xiao did not send anyone to chase them.

Of the remaining 50,000 monks, about 25,000 were killed in battle, a few thousand were wounded and captured, and 20,000 laid down their arms and surrendered.

And Tianyun Prefecture also paid a great price, more than 8,000 people died directly in battle, more than 15,000 were injured, of which more than 6,000 were seriously injured, so many light and serious wounded, so that the medicine prepared by Tianyun Prefecture was not enough at all, and I don't know how many people will die.

Coupled with the previous battles and the casualties on the Western Front, this time the number of casualties in Tianyun Prefecture should be between 14,000 and 5, and more than 4,000 people were killed in the Heavenly Saint Sect, a full two-fifths of the death rate, and countless genius disciples lost their lives in this battle.

Among them, five Daogang monks were killed in battle, and the rest were all wounded, four of these five Daogang monks were from the Heavenly Saint Sect, and the other one was a new Daogang from Hongshan Sect.

Lin Xiao and these high-ranking officials were not idle, personally sealed the dantian that captured the monks of the Purple Mansion, and then sent people to transport the prisoners and seriously injured to Tianyun Prefecture.

And Lin Xiao led 10,000 people to the north and came to the border of Baiyan Prefecture, looking at the tense defense line of Chunyang Palace, but he did not take the initiative to attack, but began to clean up the rest of the small forces, forcibly relocate mortals, and move them to the south.

In the past half a month, the remaining monks in Tianyun Prefecture have completed the cleanup of the entire Baiyan Prefecture, and the Xueyan Sect, the overlord sect of Baiyan Prefecture, was directly destroyed, even if there are thousands of Xueyan Sect monks among the captives, Lin Xiao is not ready to return the Xueyan Sect to them.

As for the rest of the fighting sects, they were also breached by the mountain gates, plundered the floating wealth, and all the monks who surrendered became prisoners, and only a few forces surrendered before the attack of Tianyun Prefecture and killed the main battle faction, so they survived.

In addition, Tianyun Prefecture is still migrating mortals, there are almost three or four million mortals in Baiyan Prefecture, and after cleaning up hundreds of thousands of mortals in the monk's immediate family, at least two million mortals are moving south, this is a huge project, but it doesn't matter, Tianyun Prefecture has time.

Because at this time, the attack on the Cang State side also retreated, because the Eclipse Country easily occupied the Chen Qing Valley Mountain Gate and the remaining territory, and the Cang Kingdom also had huge interests there, which forced Wu Muyang to make a choice, he would defeat even the strongest Pure Yang Palace, naturally he did not dare to be hostile to Tianyun Prefecture anymore, and took the initiative to reconcile.

So Li Muxue left 10,000 people to stick to the border, 5,000 people returned to the hinterland of Tianyun Prefecture to strengthen the defense, and the rest of the men and horses went north to Baiyan Prefecture.

After seeing Tianyun Prefecture's actions, the Pure Yang Palace in the north also breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Tianyun Prefecture did not have the intention of destroying the Pure Yang Palace at one time.

However, at this time, Lu Muyang was killed in battle, Lu Yan was seriously injured, and they were powerless to stop the banditry of the Heavenly Eclipse Kingdom, so they could only continue to squeeze the war potential of the Pure Yang Palace, on the one hand, they would stick to the territory of the Pure Yang Palace in the original Chen State, and on the other hand, they would stick to the border of Baiyan State, and at the same time pay a certain price to unite with the Cang Kingdom and jointly contain the annexation of the Heavenly Eclipse Kingdom, so that the Pure Yang Palace got a certain respite.

In the mountain gate of Xueyanmen, Lin Xiao found Geng Yunlong of Danyang Sect, Mo Youwei of Hongshanmen, Zhou Haozheng of Shanhe Sect, and Wei Yunzhao of Tianhaimen, they are all Daogang monks of the four sects, and they are also the principals of the four sects, plus Lin Xiao, these five people decide the fate of the entire Tianyun Prefecture.

"I came to you today to discuss the arrangements after the war, this time we defeated the main force of the Pure Yang Palace, there will be no major war in a hundred years, and we have also obtained the territory of almost two states, if the arrangement is a problem"

"Master Lin, have you encountered some difficulties?"

"Yunlong, it's not some difficulty, it's a big difficulty, the territory of two states and counties is so big, it makes people's minds float, especially there are five fourth-order spiritual mountains, even if Changchun Gate is not moving, there are still four, how many people know the idea of fighting these spiritual mountains?"

"Master Lin, they want it, can they get it in exchange for their war exploits?"

"How can it be so simple, let me say it bluntly, first, this time we launched a campaign in Tianyun Prefecture, more than 20,000 monks were killed and wounded before and after, and the resource consumption exceeded 80 million, and we now have neither anyone nor money to digest these territories, even if it is the original territory, many sects have not digested it cleanly, and they are still asking for loose cultivation and management, and if they eat so much, they will die."

As for the second point, it is still a matter of financial resources, don't forget, our Tianyun Prefecture has borrowed 50 million usury, plus the rewards for war merits, and compensation for the dead and wounded, relying on our loot alone is not enough."

"Please make it clear to Master Lin how to deal with it"

"Okay, then I'll make it clear, the territory of the two states, especially Baiyan Prefecture, we don't want one of the five sects, but the four sects ranked behind the nine sects in Tianyun Prefecture are placed on the four fourth-order spirit mountains, but in addition to asking them to use their combat exploits to counteract, they also have to give up their original territory."

"Moving again, are they willing?"

"That's right, and some sects have several third-order spirit mountains, so if they change it like this, they will suffer."

"Let's make up for the loss, these two states and counties will use these four sects as the backbone to firmly occupy them, and then the rest of the Lingshan, I am ready to sell them."

"Sell, Master Lin, this..."

"After listening to me, in Tianyun Prefecture, there are many loose cultivation gangs whose strength is already good, and even developed a large number of families, but because they are not included in our Tianyun Prefecture system, they will not be able to develop Lingshan, and these people will also become our hidden dangers, it is better to fulfill them, let them use their savings for many years to buy these Lingshan, we will provide them with shelter for ten or twenty years, they must be willing.

In this way, we can get a large amount of Xuanjing, but this amount is estimated to be only enough to pay off the debt, and our rewards and pensions are still unsettled, so the remaining captives, I decided to let the Pure Yang Palace redeem them according to the previous practice, so that we can have enough financial resources to do the rewards and benefits.

Ancestors, many people have died in this battle, if there is no reward and bereavement, something big will happen, this is our first priority"

"But put the captives back, isn't this letting the tiger go back to the mountain?"

"It's not that much, most of the truly brave monks either ran away or were killed, what kind of brave people can surrender, it doesn't have much impact on our major affairs, and we also need the Pure Yang Palace to resist the pressure from the Heavenly Eclipse Country for us. ”

"What Master Lin said is actually still reasonable, with our strength, in fact, we can't control such a large territory, our current territory is much larger than the original Lu country, but how many people we have, this time the campaign will be exposed, if it weren't for the fact that Master Lin lured the Heavenly Eclipse Country at the cost of the Dao Fruit Tree, it was us who lost, what we needed was time to develop"

"Tianhaimen agreed"

"The Shanhe faction agreed"

"Danyang Sect is no problem"

"The same goes for Hongshan Gate"

"Okay, you are really people with a big vision"

Lin Xiao was overjoyed, all four of them agreed, so this matter was settled.
