Jiangnan County painted Pingshan, and after receiving Li Zigong's summons, the face of Jin Landao, who was very deep in the city, was also a little sad.

Since the capture of the three counties of Hongshan Sect, the development of Qingxuanzong has become more and more rapid, and in just twenty years, thousands of children with spiritual roots have been selected from the mortals of the three counties, and these children have been accepted by Qingxuanzong in addition to joining their respective families.

Among them, seven children with two spiritual roots have joined the sect, and these children with good spiritual roots will be the foundation for the development and growth of the sect in the future.

Not only that, every year from the three northern counties, Qingxuanzong can obtain great benefits, especially the Fang City of Yuntai Mountain, which can bring 20,000 spirit stones to Qingxuanzong every year, and the importance of this Fang City to Qingxuanzong is no less than the spirit stone mine of Chaoyin Mountain.

To give up such a big benefit, Jin Landao people will naturally think deeply, and they will not choose to let go until the last moment.

"Zigong sent a letter, the two demon beasts have crossed the Black Mountain and are ready to invade Taicheng County, and Zhang Zhixuan of the Black Mountain is powerless to support, so he can only ask the sect for help."

Hearing Jin Laozu's words, Zhu Wuya said with an unhappy face: "Since Zhang Zhixuan can't resist the demon beasts, he should give up the Black Mountain Spirit Vein and hand it over to a virtuous person. ”

He has been operating in the three northern counties for more than forty years, and a large part of the interests of the three northern counties are under his control, so as soon as he heard that Jin Laozu's voice was wrong, and he had the intention of giving up the three northern counties, Zhu Wuya immediately spoke out against it.

Jin Lao Zu glanced at Zhu Wuya meaningfully, and said solemnly: "Wuya, the two fifth-order spiritual veins of the sect are in the Southern Wilderness, we have been operating in the three southeastern counties for thousands of years, and our foundation has already been rooted in the Southern Wilderness. If Taihong Mountain is defeated, the sect will also focus half of its energy on the north, but in the current situation, the interests of the three northern counties are far inferior to the three southeastern counties, once Taicheng County suffers heavy losses, Zhang Wu and other Zifu families are afraid that they will be resentful. ”

Zhu Wuya said: "Even if Zhang Wu is resentful and leaves the protection of the sect, they will not be able to gain a foothold in the Yu country. ”

Jin Laozu objected: "What you said is not right, the reason why the sect can survive is the most important thing is the hearts of the sect, if you abandon the three counties in the southeast, it will actually consume the credit of the sect and affect the foundation of the sect, we must not take this step." ”

Zhu Wuya asked rhetorically: "But Ancestor, if we give up the three northern counties, how can we explain to those families of the three northern counties who support us?" If you give up on them, it will also consume the credit of the sect, and it will also affect the foundation of the sect. ”

Jin Laozu paced back and forth for a few steps, and finally made up his mind and said: "You first pass down a strict order to let the monk families of Jiangnan and Luyang counties retreat to Jiangkou County, if they are unwilling to withdraw, it means that the interior is still colluded with the Hongshan Sect, and you can also use the excuse to clear it." The retreat must be thorough, that is, the mortals of the two counties would rather starve to death on the road than leave Yang Wangyuan to strengthen the foundation. ”

Zhu Wuya asked: "Evacuate the two county families, what about Huaping Mountain?" ”

Jin Laozu said without hesitation: "Huaping Mountain completely gave up, left it to the Hongshan Sect, and dispersed some of their forces. Don't blow up the spiritual veins on the mountain, and keep all the unripe elixirs. ”

Zhu Wuya asked suspiciously: "Isn't this cheap, Yang Wangyuan?" ”

"This can be regarded as a chance for us to give Yang Wangyuan, if he is willing to live in harmony, we will take Jiangkou County as the boundary in the future, and focus the sect on the Southern Wilderness, although the Southern Wilderness is desolate, but in terms of resources, it is more suitable for the development of the sect." Jin Laozu said.

"If the Hongshan Sect still won't stop, what should we do?"

"Then we even gave up Jiangkou County and Yuntai Mountain, and at the moment of crisis, even the fourth-order spiritual veins of Chaoyin Mountain, Black Mountain, and Camel Mountain were all given up, and only the Purple Mansion Foundation of the sect was kept. As long as our high-ranking cultivators still have the upper hand, it should be our interests, and he Yang Wangyuan can't take it away. Jin Laozu said with a final word.

Zhu Wuya said: "I know what Uncle Jin means, I will arrange it immediately, and I am ready to completely abandon Jiangnan and Luyang counties." However, there are many families in the two counties, and the number of mortals is millions, and with such a large number of people migrating, we may not be prepared enough, and there will definitely be heavy casualties on the way. ”

Jin Lao Zu's face remained unchanged and said: "No matter how many people die, they have to migrate, this is a major event related to the rise and fall of the two sects, and there is no room for mercy." Leave these populations to Yang Wangyuan, I am afraid that after a hundred years, Hongshan Sect will become our confidant again. In recent years, Yang Wangyuan has trained his troops and horses, prepared grain and grass, and has long been ready to take the opportunity to recapture his hometown. ”

Now, although Hongshan Sect and Nanlu Pavilion have joined forces to protect themselves, it is a pity that the number of Purple Mansion monks in the two sects is small, after the disappearance of Bi Qilong in Nanlu Pavilion, there are only six Purple Mansion monks left, and Hongshan Sect has no Song Xuerui, and there are only five Purple Mansion monks.

If you want to exert the power of the fifth-order great array and resist the attack of the Jindan monk and the others, you must stay in at least four purple mansions.

The strength they can draw out is only two golden pills, three purple mansions, plus more than 100 foundation building monks and two or three thousand qi cultivation monks.

And the three northern counties have Chaoyin Mountain monks to reinforce at any time, and they have already concentrated one Jin Dan, six Purple Mansions, more than 160 foundation building monks, 15,000 Qi cultivation period monks, and a formation to rely on, even if there are two Jin Dan on the side of the Hongshan Sect, they have an advantage in high-level monks, and they can have a little initiative, but it is difficult to capture the fourth-order spiritual vein guarded by the Purple Mansion monks.

With Zhu Wuya giving the order to retreat to Jiangkou County, the three northern counties that had been calm for twenty years ushered in turmoil again.

This time, Qingxuanzong's order was very strict, as long as the family with a little brain, they didn't dare to violate it at all, even if it was difficult, they could only obey the order and began to slowly migrate to Jiangkou County.

Among these migrating mortals, if there are monks in the family, they can still get some care, and they can migrate all the way to Eguchi County.

Without the care of the monks, due to lack of preparation and the long distance, countless bones were left along the way, and more than a million people died on the way, and less than half of the original population could migrate safely to their destination.

These mortals who migrated to Jiangkou County already had a secret hatred for Qingxuanzong.

It's a pity that this world is the world of immortal cultivators, in this world, the most powerful power belongs to the immortal cultivators themselves, even if the mortals of the two counties hate the Qingxuanzong monks, they can't change the decision of the Jinlan Dao people, let alone change their tragic fate.

In this world, the only way for monks to change their fate is to cultivate, and if there is a Jindan monk in the two counties to rely on, he can maintain the peace of this region, and he will not fall into the two great wars and become cannon fodder in the tug-of-war for decades.
