Chapter 450: Return to Middle-earth
Qing Nian was defeated, which meant that Heishuitai's operation in Nanzhou in the Heavenly Wolf Country had completely failed, and the Iron Lion, who had been chased by him for more than ten years, actually had the ability to kill him, but he didn't do it because of the threat of Tianxuanzong.
This result made Qing Nian feel that everything was lost, and he also knew that if he pursued, the Iron Lion would have to kill him, unless he could mobilize the Tianxuan Sect's brigade or higher-level monks.
But this is impossible, Tianxuanzong has its own rules of behavior, and the pursuit of the assassin god is just to explain to the major sects in Central Continent and clear Liang Wendao's suspicions, it is impossible to go on an expedition to the Heavenly Wolf Country for his own personal interests, and the high-level monks are not something he can mobilize, so he can only run back to Tianxuanzong in disgrace.
When Lin Xiao arrived in Shengyun City, he had already received the news of the night owl, and Qing Nian had also returned to Zhongzhou, which meant that the Heavenly Saint Sect was completely safe in the short term, without any risk.
Zhang Qingxuan and Ah Qing are both in Shengyun City, they have been preparing for several years, to let the night owl return to Zhongzhou, the battle of the secret realm of Da'an City, coupled with the previous search and arrest of the assassin god, so that the layout of the night owl in Zhongzhou was ruined, except for a very few secret agents, all of them were withdrawn.
And Zhongzhou is a place that cannot be ignored in the development of the Nanzhou sect, so it is necessary to rearrange Zhongzhou, and their future challenges will be even more severe.
"Heishuitai's defeat in Nanzhou is nothing, after all, we have been in Nanzhou for many years, and the Heavenly Wolf Country is even more friendly with us, so this victory must not make us complacent.
This time we return to Middle-earth, we must consider the situation of being the enemy of Heishuitai, according to our investigation of Qing Nian, this person is not a person with a weak will, on the contrary, he can be said to be an extremely good intelligence leader.
The influence of the Tianxuan Sect radiates a huge range, and we will inevitably have to deal with them in the future, so how to avoid being recognized by Heishuitai is a very critical place."
"This is indeed a key point that we should pay attention to, so I mean to rotate personnel, transfer some people whose identities have been exposed to Nanzhou, and transfer the elite people and horses of Baiyucheng, Xuanyue City, Luo Xinghai, Weiguo, and Tianyi Kingdom of Nanzhou Qi Kingdom to Zhongzhou, so that it can be safe."
"It's safe to do this, but the consumption is also huge, the spies in these places have been laid out for decades, how long will it take for the people transferred from Central Continent to adapt to these, how long will it take to take over the things in their hands, and how long will it take for them to go to Central Continent, this is all a problem."
"So today's meeting is the key to weighing this, how to change it in order to minimize the loss, boss, what do you think?"
"I've never intervened directly with the night stalker, and it's the same this time, you continue, I'll just watch"
Lin Xiao shook his head, although the night owl was founded by him, Lin Xiao was not as professional as most of them, so Lin Xiao would not perform micro-exercises.
"That's okay, let's continue to have a meeting, the layout of Zhongzhou, whether it is stable or urgent, in fact, it is very critical, if you want to be stable, then change slowly, even if you pay some price, it doesn't matter, if you want to be urgent, then you have to take risks, continue to let those people go back, you can take over things immediately"
"Boss Ye, I don't think it's a matter of urgency, but from the perspective of safety, now the people and horses we have gathered in our hands are all monks who have cooperated with us for many years, and they are trustworthy after many investigations, the total number is so much, if the danger is too great, and they are all consumed, then it depends on our two thousand people from the Heavenly Saint Sect, how can we support the great cause of the night owl."
"I think we can make a compromise, Zhongzhou is so big, Heishuitai won't keep fighting with us, as long as the people within the influence of Heishuitai are replaced, and the rest of the places don't need to be changed at all.
We have suffered heavy losses in Middle-earth, and the funds of our night owls have not been rich over the years, if they are all rotated, the consumption is too great, we can't support it at all, and the south side of the first seat should not give us any more funds."
"The sect's funds are also very tight now, there are more and more high-level monks in the sect, there are more than a dozen purple mansions on the top of one Daogang, and the consumption of hundreds of condensing vein monks, even if it is the first one in the south to suppress the consumption of high-level monks, it seems that we can only use a compromise method."
"Then let's discuss who to send to Xuanyang City, the people in Xuanyang City are very important, they must play the role of supervising Tianxuanzong and Heishuitai, and they can't be exposed."
Then Ye Nanyu and the others began to discuss the specific arrangements, and Lin Xiao didn't ask a question, just watched silently.
The meeting lasted for several days, and then one after another orders were issued, and the night owls hiding in Shengyun City began to march towards their own operation destination after receiving the funds and gathering their men.
"Boss, now our night owl is having a hard time, Ren Hongfeng is killed in battle, the fire is hidden, the eight-faced fox is idle, and the iron lion is waiting for the crime, leaving only me, Zhang Qingxuan and A Qing to support it.
And I want to make overall plans in the sect, Zhang Qingxuan has to go to Baiyucheng to sit in the town, and be in charge of the Heavenly Eclipse Kingdom, the Qianluo Kingdom, the Xiluo Kingdom, the Wei Kingdom, and the night owls of the five kingdoms of Qi, and Aqing's management in Zhongzhou is even larger, we are too tired."
"Started crying poor again?"
"It's not crying poor, but the needs of work, master, now the enemy we are facing is getting stronger and stronger, the intelligence heads of the major sects in Central Continent are basically a god to start, we have to be careful when we fight with them, a large number of people will die if we are not careful, we need more masters to sit in charge, so as to protect more disciples, in the past three hundred years, not to mention those peripheral control personnel, as far as our own disciples of the Heavenly Saint Sect are concerned, there are no less than five hundred people, including several Daogang monks, and the sacrifice on the periphery is more than ten times that of our core personnel”
"How many people are there on the twelfth floor of Daogang now?"
"Seven, within 20 years, you can make a retreat breakthrough"
"Three, I'll give you three Lingming Pills, fifty years, in these fifty years, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get them again, you know, there are already more than ten of Daogang above the tenth layer of the sect, I don't have such a power, and I will take out dozens of Lingming Pills in a few decades."
"Three is three, there aren't many of these strategic materials, and there is not much true spirit grass maturing so quickly on Tianyang Mountain."
"How can it be so fast, it will only take a hundred years to plant, and it will take at least hundreds of years to get rid of the restrictions of Lingming Pill"
Lin Xiao shook his head, Tianyang Mountain has indeed planted a lot of True Spirit Grass, but the maturity time is too long, and the fifth-order Spirit Planter has not yet been cultivated, otherwise it can continue to shorten the time, and it will take a long time for the Heavenly Saint Sect to get rid of the restrictions of the Lingming Pill, and now Lin Xiao can only hope that the Xiluo Kingdom and the Qianluo Kingdom, and the Wei Kingdom may be able to get a little.
"Master, what if we can get the True Spirit Grass by ourselves?"
"If you have this ability, then take it to Li Muxue to refine, a furnace of Lingming Pill, I will give you at least three"
"Really?"
"When did I lie to you"
"Then it's decided, we must get some, we have to be self-reliant, now Nan Xuan is getting more and more excessive, we can't rely on him anymore"
"Don't say that about Nan Xuan, he has already done a good job, in terms of ability, he is stronger than the previous first elders"
Lin Xiao shook his head, the trend of resource wealth moving upward, this trend is beneficial in the short term, which can allow high-level cultivators to get more resources and improve their strength and cultivation faster.
However, it is very unfriendly for low-level monks, whose population base is already large and their resources are getting less and less, which will only make the competition more and more fierce, which will breed many problems, including corruption.
Therefore, it is the right choice for Nan Xuan to expand financial resources and make the cake bigger, while suppressing this trend and ensuring that the low-level monks with the largest number of people can obtain certain resources, and Lin Xiao also supports it.
"I'm going back to the sect tomorrow, master, is there any letter for me to carry?"
"No, nothing for now"
"Oh well"
"I'll leave tomorrow, you keep an eye on the night owl, don't have any more accidents"
Lin Xiao nodded, early the next morning, Lin Xiao left Shengyun City in the teleportation array, went all the way north, and went to Danxia City, Danxia Sect still has a very important meaning for Lin Xiao.
Especially the pills taken during the Divine Void Period, Lin Xiao couldn't expect to rely on the system to solve it, because it was too expensive, and coupled with Li Muxue's consumption, Lin Xiao had to make some preparations in advance.
It's a pity that Lan Lingyu still hasn't come out yet, and her previous uncle was also transferred out of Danxia City, so Lin Xiao still didn't achieve her goal, stayed for half a year, and had to leave.
However, on the way, Lin Xiao heard the news of Han Bo, who had begun to challenge masters from all walks of life since he broke through the Divine Void, in order to hone himself and prepare for accepting the inheritance of the Seven Swords Gate.
Han Bo is a core disciple of the Seven Swords Sect, his swordsmanship cultivation is extremely high, and he has challenged masters from all walks of life for decades, winning more and losing less, and his reputation is far and wide, and his reputation in Zhongzhou is extremely high.
There are even forces that have opened a handicap around Han Bo, making people bet on gambling and betting on whether Han Bo will win or lose his next challenge, and it is precisely because of this that Lin Xiao can get this news.
In Lin Xiao's impression, Han Bo is a very pure person, to put it bluntly, he does not hold power in the Seven Swords Gate, but is bent on improving his cultivation and swordsmanship, so seeing Han Bo being teased like this, Lin Xiao felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
After hesitating for a moment, Lin Xiao went to find Han Bo, and when Lin Xiao found Han Bo, he had just finished fighting with a Divine Void Monk in a city of cultivating immortals, and that Divine Void Monk was the seat of the city, so he set up a fighting method in the city.
Han Bo won, a miserable victory, the magic clothes on his body were shattered into strips of cloth, and he was covered in blood, but standing in the ring, his body ratio was like a sharp sword, and no one dared to look at him wherever he looked.
