Dinglan City is located south of Suiyun City in Dongzhou, it is only a medium-sized city, and its geographical location is not important. ◎★66 .com→●

However, because it is close to the Baihe River and at the junction of Dongzhou and Nanling, there are many merchants who come and go from the south to the north, so the prosperity of Dinglan City is not inferior to that of some big cities, and its annual tax revenue makes the nearby demon city hot.

This is a new city with a history of only a few thousand years, and the sect to which it belongs is attached to the Qiankun sect, and under the shade of the overlord of Dongzhou, this medium-sized sect called Qingyun Palace has passed on the Taoist system for thousands of years without incident.

However, it is also because of the protection of the Qiankun faction that Qingyun Palace is not as good as the third- or fourth-rate sects in some aspects.

When the reckless demon cultivator who had his eyes gouged out led the demon soldiers to besiege the city, this city that had never experienced war was in chaos, and it changed hands in just two hours!

Ridiculous?

It's a ridiculous joke!

The demon cultivator who occupied Dinglan City looked very reckless and arrogant, but his next series of actions proved that he was not stupid and brainless.

After seizing control of the city, the demon cultivator named Zhou Zhuang immediately blocked Dinglan City and arranged a ban, and the original city lord, who was also the elder of Qingyun Palace, was placed under house arrest.

At the same time, Zhou Zhuang submitted a confession and a generous apology to the Qiankun faction, saying that he was willing to join the Qiankun faction, and listed all kinds of regulations favorable to the Qiankun faction on the confession.

For the Boundless Cave of the Great Demon Mountain, Zhou Zhuang also gave a generous gift, and also promised various benefits, as long as they recognized his status as a demon king.

As for Qingyun Palace, the strongest cultivator of this sect has been seriously injured by Zhou Zhuang, and the remaining two Yuan Babies who can threaten Zhou Zhuang have always been quite suspicious, and they are not taken seriously by Zhou Zhuang for the time being.

The strong in the Divine Desolate World are respected, and those with low strength are not qualified to speak.

If you don't take into account the countless years of open and secret fighting between the human race and the demon race, Zhou Zhuang's seizure of the city is nothing in the middle continent where there are many sects, especially in the Western Desert where Buddhism and Demon Sects are prevalent.

But this incident happened in Dongzhou, and at this special juncture, Zhou Zhuang's boldness is a little thought-provoking.

The demon race and the human race have been at odds since ancient times.

Countless years ago, the war between the Wu Clan and the Demon Clan ended with the complete destruction of the Wu Clan, and the vitality of the Demon Clan was greatly damaged.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the human race quietly rose, and even competed with the demon race.

But in the eyes of most demon clans, the human race is really weak, and there are always more mortals who can't practice than there are monks who can ask immortals to ask, and they have never looked at the human race.

When the dominance of the demon race is threatened and the development of the human race is curbed, the war between the two races inevitably begins.

Maybe the Heavenly Dao is not happy to see the domineering of the demon clan, as the vitality of heaven and earth gradually thins, the big demons who rely on the bloodline inheritance are the first to be affected.

Just like the mountain spirit that is difficult to transform under the moonlight, it is difficult for the descendants of the great demon who are born with great strength to adapt to the world with thin vitality, and it is difficult for the dragon clan, the phoenix clan, the unicorn clan and other races that stand at the top of the demon clan's bloodline pyramid to reproduce, and then there are the second-class heavenly fox, vermilion bird, xuanwu and other big clans.

At the beginning, it was the demon clan that was used to being strong that had the upper hand, and the human race was hit in pieces.

Then, a supreme-level powerhouse appeared in the human race, and the strong man of the demon race had not yet fully recovered, and the momentum of the human race began to overpower the demon race.

The wars lasted for many years, and the demon clan who lost the big demon finally accepted their fate, and they signed a peace treaty with the human race, and together they owned three thousand worlds.

As a result, the born weak human race grew stronger and stronger, and the born powerful demon became more and more difficult from generation to generation, and the strength of the two races began to be unequal, and the war broke out again.

The demon race was defeated in the war, and the human race gradually replaced the demon race, occupying almost two-thirds of the world.

The history of the Three Thousand Worlds is also the history of the Divine Desolate World.

Back then, the demon clan occupied Dongzhou, the human race developed in Zhongzhou, and Nanling, Western Desert, and Beiyuan had not yet been set foot in. It was the Qiankun faction that first gained a foothold in Dongzhou, and then gradually encroached on and replaced the power of the demon clan, and finally established the authority of the overlord of Dongzhou, and drove the demon clan to the Great Demon Mountain with the assistance of various sects in Zhongzhou.

But the demon clan was not reconciled, and over the years, they have provoked wars several times in a vain attempt to get back what once belonged to them.

Just like the Qiankun faction faced a difficult situation back then, the rest of the big forces stood by and watched, if it weren't for the head of the Qiankun faction at that time to turn the tide, I am afraid that now Dongzhou has been restored to the ownership of the demon clan.

Now, the faces of the major sects are not in harmony, the Qiankun faction has gone into decline and there are vague signs of being squeezed out by the rest of the top forces, it is a good time for the demon clan to recapture Dongzhou.

Demon cultivator Zhou Zhuang invaded the human city, this matter was really his idea alone?

Thinking of Zhou Zhuang's repeated temptations not long ago, and finally getting rid of being gouged out by Han Yu Zhenzun before he became honest, many monks were suspicious.

Just such a demon cultivator who dared to provoke the True Venerable of the Gods, he might have the courage to take the city, but he would never think of taking the city!

Either he hid it, or he was taken away.

However, no matter whether Zhou Zhuang was clumsy or taken away, he did not have the courage to face the anger of the Qiankun faction.

Who gave Zhou Zhuang the courage and confidence to seize the city?

In addition, people also have a doubt, why when Zhou Zhuang invaded Dinglan City, Han Yu Zhenzun, who was sitting in Suiyun City, never came forward to stop it?

Could it be that Qingyun Palace has deviated from the Qiankun faction, so the Qiankun faction has acquiesced to the change of ownership of Dinglan City?

Gu Liang in Suiyun City was also thinking about this problem.

Her injuries had not yet fully healed, but she knew the news that Dinglan City was attacked by Zhou Zhuang at the first time, which was told to her by Long Yin himself.

At this time, only half an hour had passed since Zhou Zhuang occupied Dinglan City, and Long Yin was sitting in her room.

"The sect has not responded to Zhou Zhuang's confession so far, and Zhenzun has not come forward, is he planning to stand by and watch?" Long Yin looked at Gu Liang with a faint inquiry in his eyes.

As a powerful disciple of the Law Enforcement Hall, Long Yin knew that Qingyun Palace was very close to the Qiankun Sect, and had recently had a private relationship with the monks of the Oriental Academy.

However, among the affiliated forces of the Qiankun faction, there are not a few like Qingyun Palace, after all, everyone can see the decline of the Qiankun faction, and the affiliated forces are not necessarily willing to share hardships with the Qiankun faction.

Therefore, Long Yin felt that the sect should make an example of killing chickens and monkeys, and give a warning to these wall grass forces.

But Gu Liang didn't think so, because Zhengheng fell quickly and quickly, and she already had a terrible guess in her heart, and saying it could startle Chunwei.

In the days after Zhengheng fell, Gu Liang also learned a secret within the Liuhe Sword Sect - Lin Konglan's father went mad and was still in retreat, and it is not known whether he is slightly injured or seriously injured for the time being.

Han Yu didn't come forward, maybe she had cultivated to fall, and she was no longer a true venerable in the god transformation stage.

The great challenge that the Qiankun faction must face has finally arrived.

If the news that Tailan is no longer Tailan and Han Yu's true cultivation has fallen, I am afraid that the Great Demon Mountain will not hesitate to tear up the peace treaty and directly start a war with the Qiankun faction. The rest of the top forces will also pounce on them like hungry wolves, frantically tearing large pieces of flesh from the dying old lion of the Qiankun faction, and the second-class forces such as the black market and the Oriental Academy will not lag behind.

"Gu Liang?" Long Yin noticed that Gu Liang was a little distracted.

Gu Liang retracted his thoughts, looked at Long Yin and said, "I'm sorry, I'm distracted." Senior Brother Long, what did you just say? ”

Long Yin knew that Gu Liang was not a person who was easily distracted, so he suppressed the shallow doubts in his heart and repeated the question: "I want to know how the sect thinks about it. ”

Gu Liang said: "It doesn't matter what the sect thinks about, what matters is what the Great Demon Mountain wants to do." ”

The Qiankun faction has no choice, because Han Yu has already made a choice, and it is impossible for the sect to slap Han Yu in the face, even if Han Yu is very likely to be no longer the true venerable of the Transformation Stage.

Long Yin understood what Gu Liang meant, frowned and said, "What the Great Demon Mountain wants to do, we can't control it. However, if the sect gives up Qingyun Palace, then there will inevitably be many affiliated sects and affiliated families who are cold. ”

The Qiankun faction has a great business, and its subordinate forces are as many as the small worlds on the outskirts of the Divine Desolate World, and these forces are similar to the city to some extent, and they will pay most of their taxes every year in exchange for protection.

They are either located near the territory of the Qiankun Sect, such as the Qingyun Palace; or rely on the Qiankun faction to develop, just like the Treasure Beast Pavilion; Or the Qiankun sect's own forces, such as the Gu family, the Zhuge family, etc.

Long Yin's family is also a subordinate force of the Qiankun faction, and because of the protection of the Qiankun faction, it has been able to develop into a Xiuzhen family that is only a little behind the Gu family and the Zhuge family, and has its own territory.

In the Qiankun Sect, there are not a few disciples with such a background as Long Yin.

Gu Liang said lightly: "When Qingyun Palace was in contact with the Oriental Academy in private, he should have thought of today's situation. ”

Long Yin's frowning brows did not stretch because of this sentence: "It's just that there is some contact, Qingyun Palace has not announced that it is affiliated with the Oriental Academy, and they also handed over the tribute to the sect not long ago." ”

Gu Liang raised his eyebrows slightly, and his tone was sarcastic: "Just because they paid tribute, our Qiankun Sect must recapture Dinglan City for it?" Although the sect did not say anything, Zhou Zhuang did not kill the ancestor of the late Yuan Infant of Qingyun Palace, and did not make a move on the two elders, this was for the sake of the face of the Qiankun faction. ”

In the Western Desert, a demon cultivation sect like Huanxi Sect has never cared about the fight between small forces, and even the Daming Temple, which has always prided itself on compassion, rarely interferes in the fight between subsidiary forces.

Long Yin was silent for a while, the expression on his face changed several times, and finally looked at Gu Liang and asked, "Senior Sister Gu Liang, if the family and the sect are going to oppose each other, what will you choose?" ”

Gu Liang was still a little absent-minded, and replied casually: "The Gu family will not oppose the sect. ”

The ancestors of the Gu family are the ancestors of the Qiankun faction, and for thousands of years, the outstanding children of the Gu family have been disciples of the Qiankun faction, and the relationship with the sect is not close.

Long Yin said: "What if it's opposite? ”

Gu Liang raised his head and asked very directly: "Are you worried about the antagonism between the family and the sect?" ”

Long Yin hesitated, nodded and said, "I have considered this. ”

Gu Liang couldn't help but smile, looked at Long Yin and said sincerely: "If I have to choose a side in the face of this situation, I can't be sure that I will choose the sect." However, no matter which side you choose, the most important thing is to be yourself, see your position and the direction of your efforts. ”

For monks, the lineage and family are important, but personal practice is perhaps even more important.

Hua Xiangrong thinks so, Situ An thinks so, and many people think so, including Gu Liang in the past.

Long Yin felt that Gu Liang didn't say anything at all, he glared at her, not very satisfied: "It's easy to say!" ”

Gu Liang smiled: "Then what do you want me to say?" ”

"Whether it's a family or a sect, you have to give an answer, right?" Long Yin leaned forward, his eyes fixed on her, and his expression was very serious.

Gu Liang also put away her jokes, she thought for a while, and said, "To tell you the truth, in my heart, there is not much difference between the sect and the family. However, the influence of the sect on me is deeper, especially Master, and I think I will be on his side. ”

Long Yin also vaguely knew Mozhu Zhenjun's bad intentions, and looking at Gu Liang, he said in a low voice, "I'm sorry. ”

"Don't be embarrassed." Gu Liang stood up, she walked to the open window, looked at the courtyard outside the window that looked a little bleak because of the gradual autumn, and said after a moment of silence, "Winter is coming. ”

The storm of the Qiankun faction is coming.

"I want to go back to the sect, you stay here, and the dream will temporarily bother you to take care of it." Gu Liang turned around, looked at Long Yin who was tasting tea, and asked, "Do you mind?" ”

Long Yin glanced at her, his eyes were undeniable: "Mimeng doesn't know you alone, her cultivation is higher than yours." If you have the leisure to think about her, you might as well worry about yourself. ”

He still didn't think of Han Yu Zhenzun, however, Long Yin knew that Gu Liang would not give up the itinerary he had decided on for no reason, and there must be something wrong with her returning to the sect, and most of it was not a trivial matter.

"Hehe, I don't need to worry about it because I'll be back soon." Gu Liang smiled at Long Yin, opened the door and walked out.

Long Yin was confused by Gu Liang's answer.

He turned the small teacup and secretly wondered, "It's not easy to go back, let this stingy guy spend spirit stones to open a long-distance teleportation array...... Could it be that the sect ignored Qingyun Palace's request for help, and there was another hidden reason? ”

Thinking that Gu Liang made a decision after looking at the scenery for a while, Long Yin also walked to the window to take a look, but unfortunately he couldn't see anything, only saw the withered yellow fallen leaves all over the ground.

"It's really an eventful season, the remnants of the evil cultivator organization have not yet been resolved, and the fleeing demon clan god is nowhere to be found, and now there is a matter of the demon clan monk occupying Dinglan City...... Is there something else going on? Long Yin muttered to himself, and then seemed to think of something, and his face was a little trance.

On the day of the fall of Zhengheng Zhenjun, the head of the Long family also decided the future direction on behalf of most of the clansmen, but this matter was never told to Long Yin, who had left the family since he was a child and entered the inner gate of the Qiankun faction.

It wasn't until half a day ago that Long Yin received a sword talisman from his sister in secret, and he knew that he had been abandoned by the family core.

He didn't need to make any choices, the family had already chosen a path for him.

Just like back then, it was the family that stuffed him into the inner door, and no one took his wishes into account at all.

Long Yin sighed, raised his hand and burned the fallen leaves in the courtyard into a pile with Dao methods, and said softly: "I am a disciple of the Qiankun Sect's Law Enforcement Hall, and I am and will be in the future. ”

It was his choice.

……

When Gu Liang returned to the Qiankun Sect Sect, Hu Xiu, who came out of the labyrinth of destruction, also entered Suiyun City.

He sat down in a teahouse at random, ordered tea and drank it slowly, and when he heard people talking about Gu Liang killing the two-horned giant lion alone and being seriously injured, Hu Xiu lowered his eyes and looked at his hands.

While destroying the labyrinth, Hua Xiangrong said a word to him.

She asked: Do you want to marry Gu Rongsu?

It is a marriage in the mouth of mortals, not a marriage in the mouth of a monk to become a Taoist couple and prove immortality.
