When he learned that the Huashan faction was sending a large team of men to seize the territory of Jizhou, Yang Zhen did feel a wave of anger in his heart.

This kind of behavior of the Huashan faction is simply grabbing food in the pot of the eagle claw gate, which is tolerable and unbearable!

However, Yang Zhen temporarily suppressed the anger in his heart, did not make a decision immediately, and instructed Tieren to collect a detailed information of the Huashan faction as soon as possible, and wait until he saw the detailed information of the Huashan faction and knew himself and the other before deciding how to fight back.

If the Eagle Claw Gate wants to gain a foothold among the hundreds of sects on the rivers and lakes, it must not retreat when it encounters a strong opponent, otherwise, it will be said to take a step back today, a step back tomorrow, a step back later, and a step back to the end, there will be no way to retreat.

A concession will make the opponent gain an inch, so you must not retreat!

Even if the opponent this time is the Huashan faction, which has been inherited for thousands of years, it must not retreat!

…… In the afternoon of the next day, Tie Ren personally took a detailed information about the Huashan faction and sent it to the Sky Cliff.

Yang Zhen took the information and let Tie Ren go down first.

Outside the skyscraper cliff, the clouds are rolling and the clouds are shu, and on the skyscraper cliff, the breeze is slow.

On the entire skyscraper cliff, there was only Yang Zhen alone at this time.

Unfolding the information that Tie Ren had just sent, Yang Zhen squinted his eyes slightly.

The head of the Huashan faction: Zhou Yaoyang cultivated Zixia Gong, Xiyi Sword, Yangwu Sword and Dugu Nine Sword, and his internal strength cultivation is said to have entered the realm of refining gods and returning to the void for nearly ten years.

Dharma Protector: Haiyan Zhou Yaoyang's friend, martial arts are extremely high, cultivating iron hands, after both hands are moved, they are like gold and iron, and they can penetrate stone cave gold.

Law Enforcement Elder: Xu Gengxing, Zhou Yaoyang's junior brother, is good at mixing Yuan Zhang.

The only daughter of the head: Zhou Laner is young and beautiful, innocent and romantic, and was selected as the ninth on this year's list of heroes and heroines. Martial arts are acceptable.

Sword Sect Master: Pan Dongning studied the Huashan Yangwu Sword and the Xiyi Sword, and his swordsmanship was extremely sharp.

Great Elder of the Sword Sect: Wang Ping studied the Wu Sword and the Xiyi Sword.

The second elder of the Sword Sect: Liu Yuntong studied the Xiyi sword.

The eldest disciple of the Sword Sect Master: The Scarlet Peerless Shadow Yangwu Sword and the Xiyi Sword have all reached the realm of transcendence.

Qi Sect Master: Li Taichong's cultivation is unknown, and it is estimated that he is on par with the Sword Sect Master.

Great Elder of the Qi Sect: Ji Changshou's cultivation is unknown.

Second Elder of the Qi Sect: Sun Xianu, her cultivation is unknown.

The Third Elder of the Qi Sect: Ning Wu's cultivation is unknown, and he is extremely arrogant.

The only son of Li Taichong of the Qi Sect: Shao Xuefeng (the second disciple of the Qi Sect) The only son of Li Taichong and Sun Xia, his martial arts are acceptable, and he is 18 years old.

…… Next to the information of these main characters, there are portraits of the characters. Although the portraits are only a few brushstrokes, they all paint the characters vividly and vividly.

Yang Zhen first read the information of these people, and then went to look at their portraits carefully, trying to record the appearance of these people, so as not to know who the other party was after the fight.

If you let go of these main figures of the Huashan faction when chasing and killing, you will lose a lot.

One, two, three, four...... When he looked closely at the eighth portrait, Yang Zhen's pupils suddenly shrank inward.

Scarlet Shadow?

His name is Scarlet Shadow?

Yang Zhen remembered that when he was eating in an inn in Jaw City, he heard this name mentioned.

However, this is not the reason why Yang Zhen's pupils suddenly contracted inward.

The real reason is that Yang Zhen looks at the portrait of this person on the information very familiar! Very familiar!

In the portrait, the person has thick long hair on his head, and if he does not have this long hair, the person would be living like an Arhat.

Lohan!

One of the four heavenly kings under Yang Zhen back then.

Back then, Princess Mononoke was able to silently climb the skyscraper cliff to attack him, and it was already certain that Li Ying had betrayed.

But apart from Li Ying, whether there was anyone who betrayed, Yang Zhen still can't be sure.

Since being knocked off the cliff by Princess Mononoke, Pharaoh, Eagle, Arhat, and Iron Hand have never taken the initiative to contact him.

He sent a few text messages, and several communications were not answered or answered.

Li Ying betrayed, and Yang Zhen had already killed him twice.

But did Pharaoh, Arhat, and Iron Hand betray?

Yang Zhen didn't even know their whereabouts.

On the portrait, is this blood-colored shadow an Arhat?

Yang Zhen's eyes narrowed completely.

If it was Luohan, did he betray back then?

I haven't thought of that hatred for a long time, and when I saw this portrait, it turned over in Yang Zhen's heart bit by bit.

Be sure to personally confirm whether this person is an Arhat or not...... Without thinking about it for long, Yang Zhen made a decision in his heart.

If he is really an Arhat, if he also betrayed back then, then don't blame me Yang Zhenxin for being ruthless!

…… A few years ago, Yang Zhen understood that the Huashan Sect was still split into the Sword Sect and the Qi Sect.

Unexpectedly, in just a few years, the two sects of sword and qi have been merged and united.

After the merger, the Huashan faction is as master as a cloud.

Under the head, there are Dharma protectors, and under the Dharma protectors, there are also law enforcement elders.

Under the law enforcement elders, there are two sects of sword and qi.

Whether it is the Sword Sect or the Qi Sect, there are sect masters and elders.

The difference was that the Sword Sect had two elders, while the Qi Sect had three.

These main characters alone are much stronger than the Huashan faction in the book "Smiling Proud Jianghu".

In "Smiling Proud Jianghu", not to mention the split hostility of the two sects of the Huashan Sword and Qi Sect, the head of the sect will not be Dugu Jiujian.

But now the Huashan faction in "Scarlet Rivers and Lakes", the two sects have merged, and the head Zhou Yaoyang has also cultivated the Dugu Nine Swords.

The strength is so strong, it seems that it is not suitable to fight hard.

Yang Zhen stood up and walked around the stone pavilion on the cliff with a slight frown, thinking about ways to fight against the Huashan faction.

In terms of overall strength, the newly built Eagle Claw Gate is much weaker than the Huashan Sect, which has been inherited for thousands of years.

Just a Zhou Yaoyang who had cultivated Zixia Gong and Dugu Nine Swords, Yang Zhen was not sure that he could block it alone.

Below Zhou Yaoyang, there are still so many masters in Huashan.

Dharma Protector, Law Enforcement Elder, Sect Master of Sword and Qi Sect, and five elders...... Which one is not a strong martial artist?

Can Yuebai, Fengqing, Xiaoxiaoyu and others block them all?

From the afternoon, thinking until the middle of the moon, Yang Zhen finally flashed a spiritual light in his heart, and thought of a way to deal with the Huashan faction.

Perhaps that is the only way to defeat the Huashan faction in the face of the disparity in the strength of the enemy and us.

…… On the morning of the next day, Yang Zhen asked Nangong Shaoqi and Xiao Shi to give an order, summoning Yuebai Fengqing, Xiaoxiaoyu, Tieren, Ren Feng, Poisonous Wolf Ximen, Nie Qingzhu, Silent Moon, Demon Dao Death, and Zhao Jian to the Sky Cliff.

After these people were all summoned to the Sky Cliff, Yang Zhen motioned for Nangong Shaoqi and Xiao Shi to leave the Sky Cliff.

Then he opened his mouth to ask for the opinions of these people, so that everyone could speak freely and discuss how to fight against the Huashan faction.

As for the idea he had already thought of in his heart, Yang Zhen didn't say it for the time being.

As the head of a sect, you have to give your subordinates the opportunity to speak, and when they have finished speaking, whether or not to adopt their opinions is another matter.

In short, give them the right to deliberate.

At the beginning of the discussion, Tie Ren suggested that he continue to recruit disciples on a large scale, and then use the number of people to seize the territory of Jizhou, occupy as much as he can, and after occupying the territory, he will not attack the Huashan faction, and maintain the status quo.

Tieren's meaning is very simple, that is, to compete with the Huashan faction to seize the speed of territory, whoever grabs it will belong to whom, and not to fight with the Huashan faction.

Tie Ren's opinion was supported by Ren Feng and Demon Dao Death.

Moonlight of Silence also spoke his opinion after Tie Ren spoke.

He suggested that the masters be sent to join his assassination hall, and then assassinate the masters of the Huashan faction on a large scale.

The essence of his suggestion lies in the fact that when assassinating, the enemy is in the open and I am in the dark, and the initiative of when and where to do it, and how many assassinations to send is in our hands.

After the suggestion of the Silent Moon, the moon white wind cleared and smiled and said a further suggestion.

He suggested spending money to hire killers on the killer list to assassinate the main figures of the Huashan faction, and after assassinating several important figures of the Huashan faction, the Eagle Claw Gate made another big move, and in one fell swoop, all the forces of the Huashan faction entering Jizhou were driven out, or even directly destroyed.

After the three of them made their suggestions, no one else on the cliff made a fourth suggestion.

To be fair, these three recommendations have their shining points.

But Yang Zhen didn't adopt it.

Not only because Yang Zhen has already made a decision in his heart, but more importantly, these three suggestions are not good!

"Tieren! What if the Huashan faction is unwilling to divide Jizhou with us equally? If they attack us by force, and our forces are scattered in various cities, how can we resist the attack of the Huashan faction? ”

One sentence points out the assumption in Tieren's suggestion.

Even Tieren retorted, "We can try to make an agreement with the Huashan faction first, and agree that whoever grabs the territory will belong to whoever wins, and will not attack each other." ”

Yang Zhen also shook his head.

However, the person who denies Tieren this time is Xiao Xiaoyu.

At this point in the meeting, Xiao Xiaoyu, who spoke for the first time, directly denied: "What can a paper agreement guarantee?" Liu Bangneng tore up the covenant and raided Xiang Yu; Germany could also tear up the Entente and start a world war. ”

Xiao Xiaoyu's denial made Tie Ren unable to refute.

yes, what's the use of an agreement?

If someone wants to beat you, what if you have an agreement? Someone unilaterally tore up the contract, what can you do with him?

Yang Zhen also vetoed the suggestion of the Silent Moon in a few words.

Elite masters were dispatched to assassinate the masters of the Huashan faction...... Who to draw?

In addition to a few people on the Sky Cliff today, who can kill the Huashan faction by transferring other people?

Even if you can succeed once or twice, can you still assassinate all the masters of the Huashan faction?

When the Huashan faction adjusts over, the army presses the realm, and advances step by step, how can the newly built Eagle Claw Gate resist?

Yuebai Fengqing's suggestion of spending money to hire a master on the killer list to assassinate a master of the Huashan faction is also not advisable.

There is only one or two opportunities to go to Huashan to assassinate, maybe only once.

One or two shots, everyone present can do it, so why spend a lot of money to hire someone on the killer list?

After all, the new construction of the Eagle Claw Gate is already short of funds, how can it be used to hire killers?

Seeing that Yang Zhen had rejected everyone's suggestions, Tie Ren asked Yang Zhen: "Door master!" This doesn't work, that doesn't work, so what do you say! ”

"Lure the enemy deeper! The people of the Huashan faction quickly occupied most of the territory in Jizhou! The larger the area they occupy, the better. Because the larger the area occupied, the more dispersed the forces and masters of the Huashan faction became, and at that time, we will concentrate the main forces and defeat them one by one before they react and shrink their forces on a large scale. ”

This is the idea that Yang Zhen came up with after thinking about it for an afternoon and half a night.

When Tie Ren and the others heard this idea, they were stunned at first.

Then the poisonous wolf Simon blurted out: "Isn't this Chiang Kai-shek's exchanging space for time?" ”

Hearing this, Yue Baifeng chuckled lightly and retorted; "What Chiang Kai-shek's exchange of space for time? In ancient and modern times, at home and abroad, there are countless classic battles in which the enemy is lured deep and then counterattacked. Was Chiang Kai-shek the only one who did this? Besides, was Chiang Kai-shek's exchange of space for time wrong? [***] also said 'on protracted war', although the two people's statements are different, but the central meaning, is there any difference? ”

…… Yang Zhen is the master of the door, and the lure he proposed to lure the enemy deeply, after everyone thought about it, it was indeed very likely to succeed, so in the end, this strategy formed a resolution.

Except for Yuebai Fengqing and Nie Qingzhu, the rest of them were all sent out by Yang Zhen.

Their task is to lead the newly recruited outer disciples to seize the territory of Jizhou as quickly as possible. Fight with the Huashan faction for speed, the Huashan faction sent people to seize the territory of Jizhou, and Tieren and they also want to grab the territory as quickly as possible.

Xiao Xiaoyu, Tieren, Ren Feng, Poisonous Wolf Ximen, Silent Moon, Demon Dao Death, and Zhao Jian each led a team of men and horses, divided into seven armies to seize territory in various parts of Jizhou.

To convince the people of the Huashan faction that the strategy of the Eagle Claw Gate is to fight with them for speed, and whoever grabs the land is fast, and whoever grabs the territory will belong to whomever he grabs.

In order to confuse the people of the Huashan faction even more, Yang Zhen even sent Yuebai Fengqing to sign an agreement with the people of the Huashan faction, agreeing not to attack each other, and whoever grabs the land of Jizhou first will belong to whomever he wants.

Yang Zhen and Nie Qingzhu sat in Huoshan.

Nominally, when Xiao Xiaoyu, Tieren and others went down the mountain to grab territory, Yang Zhen stayed on the Sky Cliff to meditate, but in fact, on the night after they went down the mountain, Yang Zhen quietly left the Sky Cliff alone.

Before going down the mountain, Xiaoshi, Nangong Shaoqi and others kept it secret, and they had to keep it known to the outside world that he had been cultivating on the Sky Cliff.

Where to go after descending the mountain?

Yang Zhen has a very clear goal.

- Find the Scarlet Shadow!

Ever since he saw the portrait of the blood-colored shadow on the information of the Huashan faction, Yang Zhen has always had this thought in his heart.

You must go and see if that blood-colored shadow is an Arhat or not!

As soon as he was not sure about this matter, Yang Zhen was on the cliff, so he couldn't calm down and continue to cultivate.

This matter has become a demon in his heart.

If he didn't solve it, it would seriously affect his cultivation.

In his heart, Yang Zhen has always been haunted by the betrayal more than two years ago, the time when Princess Mononoke silently sneaked to the Sky Cliff and knocked him off the Sky Cliff.

For more than two years, he was killed so many times by Princess Mononoke, Demon Pupil, Nanxing and Wind and Fire, and the feeling of failure accompanied him for more than two years, and in the end, it directly caused Zhou Ying to leave him.

With such a deep hatred, how can you let it go so easily?

…… Huashan is located at the junction of Yuzhou and Jizhou.

This is also the main reason why the Huashan faction was able to seize the territory of Jizhou before the Eagle Claw Sect sent people to occupy the territory of Jizhou this time.

Otherwise, if Huashan is too far away from Jizhou, even if they want to send people to grab Jizhou's territory, they will be powerless.

Is the Scarlet Shadow on Mount Hua now?

Yang Zhen is unknown for the time being.

However, in any case, let's go to Huashan first! Even if the blood-colored shadow is not on Huashan, he can still find out his whereabouts on Huashan.

When he came down from Huo Mountain, Yang Zhen wore a bronze mask with a simple style on his face.

In order to hide his identity, he also carried a long sword in his left hand.

One person, one sword, when Yang Zhen, who was dressed in black, went down the mountain, he was like a swordsman wandering the world. Head in the direction where Huashan is located.

When passing through Long'an Town, Yang Zhen bought a sturdy horse to walk.

On the way to Huashan, the communicator on Yang Zhen's wrist could receive the latest battle reports of Tieren every day.

Which city they occupied today and which city they occupied tomorrow, Tie Ren and the others sent the battle report to Xiao Shi's communicator every day, and then Xiao Shi sent these battle reports received one after another, one by one, to Yang Zhen's communicator.

Let Yang Zhen learn about Tieren's new progress every day.

Occasionally, Nangong Shaoqi would also have new news about the Huashan faction's seizure of Jizhou's territory to Yang Zhen's communicator.

As for other news on the rivers and lakes, Yang Zhen can also learn about it on the computer every day.

Under the guise of the little emperor, the Demon Gate is passing the holy decree everywhere, sealing the head of this sect as the lord of a certain city, and the head of that sect as the king of a certain county.

In just two days and three days, the masters and heads of those major sects on the rivers and lakes have basically been sealed.

Except for Shaolin, Wudang and Kunlun, as well as a few small sects that did not think of occupying territory.

What is the Demon Gate trying to do?

Yang Zhen thought about it for a long time before he vaguely understood the intention of the Demon Gate's move.

Is it to stir up the ambition of all sects to divide the world?

Yang Zhen guessed in his heart.

In this four-way sealed **, Yang Zhen, the master of the Eagle Claw Gate, also got a sub-seal.

King Huoshan!

It's just just a Huo Shan King.

used the computer to see the news on the official website of "Scarlet Rivers and Lakes", but Yang Zhen learned that the Demon Gate used the name of the little emperor to seal Zhou Yaoyang, the head of the Huashan faction, as the pastor of Jizhou.

Jizhou Mu is the nominal owner of Jizhou.

Jizhou was obviously cleared by the Eagle Claw Gate, but Zhou Yaoyang of the Huashan faction was named the pastor of Jizhou.

Is the Demon Gate trying to provoke a conflict between me and the Huashan faction?

Yang Zhen guessed the intention of the Demon Gate.

But I felt funny.

The Eagle Claw Gate and the Huashan faction have formed a big feud, and the war is about to begin, at this time, do you still need the Demon Gate to provoke?

On the fourth day after leaving Huoshan, Yang Zhen received a message from Nangong Shaoqi.

"Master! Several sects such as the Tiger Claw Sect and the Iron Flag Sect that were destroyed some time ago seem to be a little impatient recently, and those sects that ran away before seem to have run back again, and someone has seen them. ”

Seeing this news, Yang Zhen was on the way, galloping on his horse, and when he saw the content of the news, Yang Zhen's brows wrinkled slightly.

These small sects are actually dead but not stiff, and they dare to take advantage of this time to come back and make ghosts, they really don't know whether they are dead or alive.

Yang Zhen moved to kill again in his heart.

(To be continued)
