Even if the monks of Taicheng County did a good job of stealth skills, they could not hide from others at all by deploying manpower and materials on a large scale.

Although the Broken Cloud Mountain Range is towering into the clouds, it cannot prevent the monks from coming and going between the north and south of the mountain range, especially some monks who have achieved cultivation, often enter the Qidafang City, which is a vassal of Qingxuanzong, to buy some specialties of the Southern Wilderness.

Soon, the news of the large-scale development of Chaoyin Mountain by Qingxuanzong and the monks of Taicheng County spread to the northern part of the Broken Cloud Mountain Range, and even reached the ears of the monks of the Hongshan Sect.

In the past hundred years, because there is no suppression of the Xuansu Palace above, the order of the Yu Kingdom's immortal cultivation world has been slightly chaotic.

Even though the four major sects have their own spheres of influence, small-scale conflicts and temptations still emerge one after another.

The Hongshan Sect is located in the northern part of the Broken Cloud Mountain Range, and compared to the Qingxuan Sect, the place they control is already considered the hinterland of the human race. Except for the Broken Cloud Mountain Range, which is connected to the Southern Wilderness, it has not become a disaster for climate monsters.

Although the Hongshan Sect only has eleven Purple Mansion cultivators, they don't have to guard against large-scale demon beast invasions, and relatively speaking, they can draw more masters.

Qingliang Mountain is located in the north of the Broken Cloud Mountains, which is only more than 8,000 miles away from Chaoyin Mountain, which is closer than the Xiuxian families of Taicheng County such as the Zhang family, the Wu family, and the Liu family.

However, with the Broken Cloud Mountain Range blocking it, it is difficult for the two places to contact and communicate, except for the monks who have cultivated to become successful, even if they are monks in the Qi cultivation period, crossing the Duanyun Mountain Range once will hurt their muscles and bones, and if they are not careful, they will die.

The Xiao family of Qingliangshan is also a family that has been inherited for more than 500 years, and there is only one monk in the foundation building period in the family, and the size of his family is less than half of the Zhang family, only less than fifty monks.

At this time, in the guest hall of the Xiao family in Qingliang Mountain, Xiao Hongxuan, the head of the Xiao family on the third floor of the foundation, accompanied the last seat, and there were more than a dozen monks in the foundation building period sitting on the head.

This person glanced at everyone and said, "What is the situation in Chaoyin Mountain?" ”

Zhao Qingnian, the head of the Zhao family in Qingwutan, seems to have a good relationship with this Zifu monk, Qingwutan is also located at the northern foot of the Broken Cloud Mountain Range, the Zhao family has a total of three monks in the foundation building period, they often pass through Taicheng County to enter the Black Mountain, and they also know very well about the various families in Taicheng County, and the matter of Chaoyin Mountain is the first to be discovered by the foundation building monks of the Zhao family, so Zhao Qingnian took the lead in speaking.

"Senior Mu, according to our understanding, this place of Chaoyin Mountain used to be just a barren mountain and a wild mountain, and the Ma family of the Zhuji family of Taicheng County mined echo stones on this mountain, and did not produce too precious things.

However, a year ago, the spiritual energy near this mountain began to become more and more abundant, and in a short period of time, Qingxuanzong cooperated with the five major families of Taicheng County to cultivate spiritual veins on the mountain, and also laid out a powerful formation, enveloping the entire mountain in a dense fog.

In addition, the five foundation-building families of Taicheng County have also allocated a large number of people to build a walled city on Chaoyin Mountain, and now five towns have been built, and more than 100,000 acres of farmland have been reclaimed. ”

Hearing Zhao Qingnian's words, Mu Huaishan, a monk of the Purple Mansion, frowned and said, "So, Qingxuanzong has found great benefits in Chaoyin Mountain?" ”

"According to our estimates, judging from the manpower they mobilized and the arrangements they made, I am afraid that the spirit stone mine was discovered, and as for the scale of the spirit stone mine, it should not be very large. If the scale of the spirit stone mine is large, Qingxuanzong probably will not allow the Taicheng County Zhuji family to interfere. Zhao Qingnian nodded and said affirmatively.

These monks gathered in the Xiao family in Qingliang Mountain are all monks of the Zhuji family in Jiangkou County, Yuguo, which has been developed for more than 3,000 years, and its population and farmland have a stronger foundation than Taicheng County. In their county, there are eleven Zhuji families, almost more than twice the size of Taicheng County.

However, there were only eighteen foundation building monks in Jiangkou County, which was only five more than in Taicheng County. However, the monks of Taicheng County often fought against demon beasts, and their experience was far greater than that of Eguchi County, which had been stable for many years. If there was a large-scale fight between the family monks of the two counties, without the intervention of the sect behind them, the monks of Jiangkou County might not be the opponents of Zhang Zhixuan and the others.

Moreover, the family of Taicheng County has walked out of two Purple Mansion Stage monks in a row, leaving some powerful backhands, even if the Zhang family has exhausted the fourth-order spirit runes, but their foundation building monks are more powerful than ordinary foundation building families in terms of vision and exercises.

Mu Huaishan is the elder of the Purple Mansion of the Hongshan Sect, and he has opened the Purple Mansion for less than a Jiazi, and he has only cultivated to the second floor of the Purple Mansion. Although he was not a native monk of Eguchi County, his early wife was from the Zhao family.

The monks of the Zhao family were also very helpful to him in his early years. Therefore, after Zhao Qingnian noticed the abnormality of Chaoyin Mountain, he immediately repaired a letter and sent Mu Huaishan to Qingliang Mountain to discuss this important matter.

"Chaoyin Mountain has discovered the spirit stone mine, what are your plans?" Mu Huaishan asked with a frown.

Zhao Qingnian has a relationship with Mu Huaishan, and he said directly with almost no politeness: "Chaoyin Mountain belongs to the Broken Cloud Mountain Range, and it is not his Qingxuanzong's territory, and this kind of place where the two parties meet is not owned by Qingxuanzong." We would like to ask Senior Mu to represent the Hongshan Sect and take the lead in fighting with the monks of Qingxuanzong on behalf of the monks of Jiangkou County. ”

There are many monks in Eguchi County, but the resources produced are probably not as good as those of Taicheng County, which is close to the Southern Wilderness. Hearing that Chaoyin Mountain had discovered the spirit stone mine, they all wanted the Hongshan Sect to take the lead in the competition.

The spirit stone mine in Chaoyin Mountain was occupied by the monks of the Qingxuan Sect, and Mu Huaishan himself was not very satisfied, but he could not make the decision alone in such a major matter as the conflict with the Qingxuan Sect, which needed to be decided by the high-ranking monks of the sect.

If Qingxuanzong was not prepared, they could still provoke conflicts on a small scale, but Qingxuanzong had arranged a fourth-order formation, and unless there was a large-scale siege, it would have no effect at all.

Mu Huaishan looked at the dozen or so foundation-building period monks with a look of hope, and said cautiously: "I myself am willing to fight for you. But for this kind of major event, it is still necessary to report to the sect and ask Yang Laozu to take an idea.

You first make some preparations, prepare enough grain, grass and rice, and then send someone to Taicheng County to inquire about the information, and it is best to find out the situation in Chaoyin Mountain. Wait for me to go back and tell Yang Laozu and see what Yang Laozu means. ”

Mu Huaishan made arrangements that day, and then hurriedly flew back to Hongshan Sect to ask Yang Laozu.

Hongshan Sect is located in the east of Yu Kingdom, located on the fifth-order spiritual vein of Dahong Mountain, and controls the three counties in the east of Yu Kingdom, these three counties are all developed cooked land, and both population and farmland far exceed the three counties in the southeast.

With a sufficient population base, more monks can be born, so in terms of the number of monks alone, Hongshan Sect is almost more than double that of Qingxuan Sect.

However, in the last few hundred years, the development of Hongshan Sect has been far inferior to that of Qingxuanzong.

Since a hundred years ago, Qingxuanzong's Purple Mansion monks have surpassed Hongshan Fort, in the last 100 years, Qingxuanzong has Hu Peiyu, Wu Sixuan, Han Wangpeng three foundation monks successfully opened the Purple Mansion, and Hongshan Sect in the last 100 years, only Mu Huaishan has become an advanced Purple Mansion monk.

The Qingxuan Sect is becoming more and more prosperous, and the Hongshan Sect bordering them is becoming more and more worried.

With the news that Mu Huaishan brought back the Qingxuan Sect and discovered the spirit stone mine, it made the Yang ancestor of the Hongshan Sect even more worried. Once this spiritual stone mine is on the right track, it will be able to provide more resources for the Qingxuan Sect and train more monks for them, and if the power of the Qingxuan Sect becomes stronger and stronger, it will gradually encroach on the Hongshan Sect's sphere of influence.

In the past thousand years, Qingxuanzong has not only forged ahead in the Southern Wilderness, but also vigorously supported the Zhuji family under his command in the north near the side of Hongshan Sect.

The Jiufeng Mountain Ma family and the Liucheng Zhu family, these foundation-building families, developed in this way.

In order to suppress the development of Qingxuanzong, Yang Laozu made up his mind to fight with Qingxuanzong and suppress Qingxuanzong's after careful consideration.

After all, Qingxuanzong had just taken Shuangjiao Mountain, and he had controlled six fourth-order spiritual veins in the Southern Wilderness, and these six fourth-order spiritual veins were inseparable from the guard of the Purple Mansion monks.

Although they have thirteen Purple Mansion cultivators, they can't draw too many people, and compared to the Hongshan Sect, I'm afraid they are at a disadvantage.
