Chapter 235: Inquire about the news
The recklessness was not the biggest mistake made by the Hongshan Sect monks, the most important reason why they suffered heavy losses in Yanlai Peak was arrogance and greed.
They thought that they were outnumbered and had the chance to win, and they didn't take the family of Taicheng County into account at all, so they rashly chose to attack Yanlai Peak.
Because of greed, they were afraid that the Yanlai Peak Foundation Monk would not be able to resist and flee with floating wealth, so they chose to surround and divide the troops.
As a result, Yan Laifeng and Wu Xiangwen seized the opportunity, and killed three people in a row with Fu Bao, encircling and annihilating all the enemies in a short period of time, completely breaking the balance between the two sides.
Coupled with the reinforcements of Hu Boyu, a ninth-layer monk who built the foundation, the monk of the Hongshan Sect lost his sharpness and had no determination to win, so he could only flee down the mountain in disgrace.
The lessons of this battle have been summarized within the Zhang, Wu and Liu families, and after the war, the patriarch personally wrote down notes and stored them in the family classics, so that later generations can take them as a warning.
With the experience of the Hongshan Sect monks, of course, Zhang Leqian, Wu Xiangwen, and other witnesses would not make the same mistakes, and several of them put forward cautious opinions and immediately changed Han Yan's decision.
So Han Yan ordered half of the Zhuji monks to be left to seal the castle, and the other half of the Zhuji monks searched the local monks of the nearby five thousand miles to investigate the details of the Feng family in Feng Castle.
Zhang Zhixuan's divine sense is outstanding, far beyond the normal foundation building monks, so he naturally wants to go out to find someone.
He flew cautiously at a low altitude, and the divine sense in his mind continued to sweep over the nearby low-level spirit mountains, and soon found a complete small family.
This small family had only seven monks, hidden in the barren mountains and mountains two thousand miles away from Feng Castle, they were very small, the number of mortals did not exceed a thousand, and they established a small town deep in the mountains.
Zhang Zhixuan was a family cultivator, and he knew very well that without the permission of the Feng family, it would be impossible for these small vassal families to practice nearby.
These vassal small family cultivators may have a very low level of cultivation, but they must be the head snakes of the land, and it is possible that the history is older than that of the Feng family.
Because the cultivation is low and does not attract attention, these monks at the bottom of the immortal cultivation world do not have to go through twists and turns, and it is easier for them to survive this kind of turmoil than the family in the foundation building period.
In the past 20 years, because of the great war between Qingxuanzong and Hongshan Sect, Hongshan Sect, as the defeated side, has more than 20 Zhuji families been wiped out.
Even the victor of Qingxuanzong, the damage of the Zhuji monk was more than thirty, and there were also unlucky people like the Ma family who were wiped out.
Zhang Zhixuan sacrificed the locust demon sword, broke through the protective formation of this small family with one sword, and easily restrained several low-level monks. He glanced at the trembling Qi Refining Cultivator below and asked, "What kind of place are you here, and what does it have to do with the Feng Family of Feng Castle?" ”
"Our name here is Taichong Valley, and it has nothing to do with Feng Castle. Where can we have a relationship with the Feng family. The man who spoke looked dignified, looking to be in his thirties, but his eyes rolled slightly, and it was clear that he was not telling the truth.
Zhang Zhixuan came from a family cultivator, and he clearly knew that as long as the Feng family did not decline, these nearby vassal families could not be separated from their control at all.
Zhang Zhixuan was in the enemy territory, so he was naturally impatient to expose this person, and with a flash of light in his hand, he took off this person's head with a flash of spiritual light.
"I want you to recognize the status quo and tell the truth, and you all know what is going on now. If you dare to speak out and coax, I can only kill you and destroy you. Zhang Zhixuan glanced at everyone indifferently, and although his voice was slow, he spoke clearly and clearly.
The remaining Qi cultivation period cultivators glanced at each other, their expressions all tinged with a hint of horror, and only now did they recognize the current situation.
Zhang Zhixuan made two shots, the first time he broke the mountain gate formation, and the second time he killed one person. Let these Qi cultivation period monks realize that now is not the time for peace, and the Feng Castle they rely on can no longer protect their homes.
Although Zhang Zhixuan killed his own people and made them feel very hateful, this situation of life and death made them dare not show their resentment on their faces, lest Zhang Zhixuan be angry and cut down the grass and eradicate the roots.
Zhang Zhixuan's trip was to seek information, not to kill people.
The reason why he killed one person first was just to establish his authority and let these small family monks recognize the current situation.
"Is there a Purple Mansion monk on the ancestor of the Feng family? How many years their family has been inherited in Jiangnan County, you all know this. I hope you will tell the truth, after all, your head grows on your head, and it is not worth your life for the Feng family. As long as you tell the truth, I will let you live and let you become vassals of the Qingxuanzong Zhuji family. ”
"The Feng family has been based in Feng Castle for a thousand years, and one of their families did open up the Purple Mansion in Hongshan Sect four hundred years ago." Zhang Zhixuan asked, and the rest of the Qi cultivation period cultivators looked at each other, and in the end, it was the oldest person who chose to tell the truth.
"How high is the Feng family's purple mansion, how many years has it been sitting, the development of the Feng family is not smooth, has there been a crisis of extinction?" Zhang Zhixuan continued to ask.
Zhang Zhixuan only looked at the buildings of this small family, and knew from the colorful ornaments peeling off the beams and pillars that they had settled here for at least three hundred years.
Even if the family monks are weak, they have more inheritance than the casual monks, at least they have a rich collection of books, which can record the experience of generations of monks.
This kind of information, maybe the local foundation building and scattered cultivation don't know the details, but these vassals of the Feng family must be very clear.
Since the old man who practiced qi decided to tell the truth, he no longer concealed it and told all the information he knew.
"The ancestor of the Feng family had already cultivated to the late stage of the Purple Mansion, when he was a fourth-order refiner, and when the Feng family was at its peak, there were seven monks in the foundation building period, and it was the largest immortal cultivation family in Jiangnan County. However, after his ancestor sat down, the momentum of the Feng family slowly declined, and now there are only two monks in the foundation building period, but their family has produced the ancestor of the Purple Mansion, and they are more prestigious among the local families in Jiangnan County. ”
"Well, very good, if you cooperate in the first place, why should I kill people? Do you have a collection of books about the Feng family, even memoirs or anything like that? Zhang Zhixuan continued to ask.
The old Qi cultivation period monk stood up, took out dozens of yellowed old books from the family library and handed them to Zhang Zhixuandao: "Back to the seniors, they are all here, but these books are not systematic, and the seniors still need to read and summarize." ”
"You are a person who knows the times, and the most important thing for a monk is to know the times. Get a pen and paper! I will repair a letter to guarantee you, and when Feng Castle is laid, you can take my letter and hand it over to the monks who occupy the spiritual vein of Feng Castle, so that you can keep the spiritual vein of your family and continue to pass on the family. ”
Zhang Zhixuan took these dozens of old books, left this spiritual vein, and continued to search near Feng Castle.
Because of the two wars, Jiangnan County was caught in the flames of war, and some shrewd cultivators and small family monks had given up their spiritual veins and fled into the barren mountains and mountains.
Zhang Zhixuan searched for two or three days in a row, searched all the nearby spiritual veins, and did not find a single monk. Although he found some scattered villages and towns, and found a large number of ordinary mortals, it was a pity that mortals had almost no inheritance and did not know the situation of the Feng family's ancestors at all.
Continuing to find no one, Zhang Zhixuan had no choice but to give up and chose to return to Feng Castle.
