Chapter 193: Hostility
It has been five days since Wanyue Prefecture was blockaded this time, and all parties still do not know the essentials, Wanyue Sect has refused to contact at all, the northern border is tightly sealed, and the southern part bordering Chixiao Prefecture is not allowed to enter or exit.
Until the seventh day, Long Zu Haizu urgently ordered Chen Tang, Xue Tongyuan, and Huo Zhenyun to go to the residence in the back mountain to tell them a thunderbolt on a sunny day.
Wanyue Sect's blockade this time was because the Third Elder Tie Feng was attacked, and like the Supreme Elder Yan Daoqi, it was a soul attack, and Tie Feng also fell into a coma.
Several Taishang elders of Wanyue Sect were furious, one Taishang Elder was attacked, and then another current elder was attacked, this is something that has not happened in Wanyue Sect for hundreds of years, several Taishang Elders went out of the pass to reprimand Feng Shiyi, and finally decided to regard the Illusory Sea Sect as hostile, one of the Taishang elders went to the Sea Clan, one went to the Beast Clan, one went to the Yunhua Sect, and one went to the Chixiao Sect, and the meaning conveyed to the four forces was very clear, Wanyue Sect and the Illusory Sea Sect were hostile, and the Quartet forces were not allowed to participate, otherwise several Taishang Elders would have to use the Transformation Divine Realm cultivation to compete with the Quartet forcesγ
After introducing the situation, Long Zu said: "With their cultivation, they are not the opponents of me and Hai Zu, after all, the two of us have lived for hundreds of millions of years, which is hundreds of times that of theirs, but if they fight, they will definitely be devastated, and the Beast Clan, the Sea Clan, and the Chixiao Sect will suffer heavy losses, and the intention of the Wanyue Sect to send the Supreme Elder is also this." β
Chen Tang and the other three had heavy faces, glanced at each other, Chen Tang stood up and saluted: "Drag down the Dragon Ancestor Hai Ancestor, don't interfere in this incident Beast Clan Sea Clan, the Illusory Sea Sect always has to face certain things by itself, how to grow under the protection of others?"
Hai Zu looked at this disciple and felt distressed, he was only 23 years old, establishing a sect, hundreds of thousands of disciples, and 1.5 billion mortals, "Chen Tang, I have given a message to Wanyue Sect, you must not attack across the sea, the Hai Clan in Nanfeng Prefecture is already a member of the Illusory Sea Sect, and it has nothing to do with the Sea Clan, this is the best result I have ever won for, although the Taishang Elder named Yi Gong had an ugly face, but he did not object." β
Long Ancestor also made the same request, and Wan Yue Sect also agreed.
At this time, Xiao Chuanfeng came to the back mountain and sent a letter, which was written by Xiao Yanfeng, the content was about the same, he could only win that Wanyue Sect was not allowed to cross the Chixiao Sect to attack Nanfeng Prefecture, which was equivalent to the southern passage of Wanyue Prefecture being blocked.
Chen Tang and the others still frowned after reading it, "Although the southern passage is sealed, and Wanyue Sect has no way to reach Nanfeng Prefecture directly, but Wanyue Sect will definitely forcibly enter Tianxing Prefecture through Dafeng Mountain, and the situation of the Forgotten Sword Sect is already like this, and there will be no fortification at all." β
Huo Zhenyun sighed, "Yes, as long as Sect Master Gongsun doesn't allow Wanyue Sect to cross the border, they won't be able to cross at all." β
Xue Tongyuan said: "Don't be afraid of them, they will send at most the early stage of the Yuan Infant Realm, and there are only two or three above the middle stage of the Yuan Infant Realm, all of which are the treasures of the Wanyue Sect, how can they be sent." β
Chen Tang felt uncomfortable at this time, not to mention the hostility of Wanyue Sect, and also caused Hai Ancestor and Long Ancestor and Xiao Sect Master to be humiliated, and the grain reserves in Nanfeng Prefecture were only enough for a mortal for a year, plus self-produced, seafood and beast transport, it would be good to support it for two years, and if it still could not be eased after two years, the price of food would skyrocket, and many people would starve to death because they could not afford to eat.
Chen Tang suddenly raised his head and said: "Sect Master Xue, it is better to issue an announcement to make public the hostility between the Wanyue Sect and my Illusory Sea Sect, except for the seafood, the grain will be rationed, so that we will have no problem holding out for a few years." β
Xue Tongyuan was taken aback, "Then this must not cause panic?"
Chen Tang smiled bitterly, "Do you think Wanyue Sect will let go of our weakness? It will definitely be hyped up and cause turmoil in Nanfeng Prefecture, and there will be people who leave Nanfeng Prefecture out of fear and distrust of us, isn't it a good thing to save food for us?"
Long Zu brushed his beard and said, "What Chen Tang said makes sense. β
Xue Tongyuan thought for a while and nodded, "Then do it, I'll send an announcement in a while." β
After the announcement was issued, it caused a commotion in Nanfeng Prefecture, and some big families who had not relocated left Nanfeng Prefecture one after another to return to their ancestral land, and some civilians who were afraid of war also left one after another, and finally left about 200 million people, which greatly reduced the pressure on Nanfeng Prefecture's food supply.
Immediately after Wan Yue Sect announced several decrees, not to supply grain to Nanfeng Prefecture, not to trade with the Phantom Sea Sect, continue to block the border, etc., the Chixiao Sect and the Forgotten Sword Sect did not react, and what was surprising was that the Yunhua Sect raided the Yundan Firm, announcing a ban on the sale of grain to Nanfeng Prefecture and a blockade of the Phantom Sea Sect.
After Yunhuazong raided the Yundan business, he knew that the business was an empty shell, leaving only hundreds of thousands of spirit stones, but the ban on the sale of grain made Chen Tang very uncomfortable, the entire Tianxiang Realm Chixiao Prefecture has many volcanoes, Tianxing Prefecture has many waters, and Wanyue Prefecture is mountainous, only Yunhua Prefecture is the largest grain producing state, Yunhuazong's move instantly raised the price of grain in the entire Tianxiang Realm.
Chen Tang also introduced a ration of food in due course, and vigorously promoted the consumption of seafood, but this decree did not cause any movement in Nanfeng Prefecture, and the ability of these mortals to bear it increased a lot.
Although he knew that Yunhua Sect was selfish, this incident refreshed Chen Tang's perception of Yunhua Sect, so Kang Jiu's eyes were red, and Chen Tang had to comfort him for a long time.
Chen Tang knew very well that the purpose of Yunhua Sect's move was the secret book of the exercises on his body, they didn't think that the Phantom Sea Sect would be able to survive, and if they showed favor to Wanyue Sect now, they might be able to get a piece of the pie in the future.
The envoy of the Forgotten Sword Sect also just went to visit Xue Tongyuan, and asked the Phantom Sea Sect to release Gongsun Yu, Gongsun Mo and other five people back, and was scolded back by Gongsun Yu, and then Gongsun Luo sent a letter to scold Gongsun Mo, but Gongsun Mo replied to tell him that he was determined to stay in Nanfeng Prefecture, and advised his father not to lend the way to Wanyue Sect, otherwise Gongsun Luo would definitely be furious when he left the pass, but Gongsun Luo didn't care, he thought that what he did was good for Forgotten Sword Sect.
Chen Tang thought about it for a day, and wrote a letter to the Sect Master of Wanyue Sect, in which he clearly explained that he hadn't even apprenticed yet, and the Sect outside the realm was very powerful, how could he send someone to attack Yan Taishang and Elder Tie for him as a nobody, and proposed that he could go to Wanyue Sect to see a doctor for the two attackers, etc.
However, at this time, Feng Shiyi had been deprived of some of his powers, and he only continued to manage the internal affairs of the sect, and it was another Taishang Elder Yi Gong who dealt with the attack on Yan Taishang and Tie Elders.
Chen Tang's letter was delivered to Yi Gong, he unfolded it and tore it up expressionlessly after reading it, and asked his cronies: "Can anyone see this letter?"
The cronies bowed down and replied, "Only the deacon of the Foreign Affairs Hall knows that he is our man." β
Yi Gong nodded, "Don't spread the word about this matter secretly, you go and call Elder Jin." The cronies bowed and left.
After a while, Elder Jin arrived, if Chen Tang was there, he would immediately recognize that this was the old Jin who went to Liuyun Gate with Xie Wenjin back then, and was frightened away by Chen Tang's knocking on the Horcrux at that time, after several years of hard cultivation, he was already in the early stage of the Yuan Infant Realm.
Elder Jin's full name is Jin Sheng, and when he saw Yi Gong standing aside, Yi Gong ordered: "You go and choose five Jin Dan Realm, five late stage of Foundation Realm, escort them through the Great Wind Mountain, to Sword City, you go and talk to Gongsun Luo, we want to go to Nanfeng Prefecture through Tianxing Prefecture, let him make it convenient, give him some gifts, Gongsun will never retreat, Gongsun Luo is as timid as a mouse, he should not object, and then you take them to Nanfeng Prefecture to test the strength of the Phantom Sea Sect." β
Jin Sheng bowed down and agreed, and then stepped back to choose a man.
Five days later, these eleven people arrived in Sword City, Jin Sheng visited the Forgotten Sword Sect after Gongsun Luo agreed, enthusiastically left them to play for a few days, Jin Sheng thought that he also needed to explore the layout of the Phantom Sea Sect in the Demon Corridor, so he sent a Jin Dan to take a foundation disciple to the Demon Corridor to explore the way, and the others stayed in Sword City to play.
Gongsun Luo urgently sent a cronie to the Phantom Sea Sect, intending to deceive Gongsun Yu and Gongsun Mo back in the name of the civil strife in the Forgotten Sword Sect.
After this cronie arrived in the Phantom Sea Sect, Gongsun Yu was suspicious of the letter, asked a few words, and then told Chen Tang, wanting him to inquire about the details through the Yundan business in Tianxing Prefecture.
After hearing this, Chen Tang pondered, "Gongsun Yu, Yundan Merchant is investigating the attitude of the Forgotten Sword Sect towards the conflict between the Wanyue Sect and us, and there has been no other news in the past few days, I am afraid that it is not the internal strife of the Forgotten Sword Sect, but the Wanyue Sect has sent people, and it is estimated that they will soon go to the Demon Suppression Corridor." Your uncle is worried about the safety of you and Gongsun Mo, so he used this method to let you go back. β
Gongsun Yu sighed, "Alas, my uncle, it's too much, I definitely won't go back anyway." β
Chen Tang thought for a while, "Then you reply to the letter, and let him rest assured." β
Gongsun Yu nodded and left.
Chen Tang conveyed the matter to the Dragon Ancestor Haizu and everyone in the Council of Elders, and in the end, it was Huo Zhenyun who took Liu Zhen, the Sea Clan sent Shark Ling, and the Beast Clan was Qingyang with four Dragon Clan teenagers, and the five brothers Chen Tang, Kang Jiu, Xiao Chuanfeng, Fu Kill, and Chen Xilong went to the north end of the Demon Corridor to wait for the arrival of Wanyue Sect.
At this time, the two disciples sent by Jin Sheng to explore the path of the Demon Corridor were reporting the situation, and Jin Sheng learned from them that a small city called the Acropolis was formed at the northern end of the Demon Corridor, the city wall was not thick, and the cultivation of the cultivators stationed there was not high, and there was only one early stage of foundation building, but the sea was surging and the waves needed to be careful.
Jin Sheng ordered the others to set off for the Demon Corridor the next day.
In the main hall of the Chixiao Sect, Zhou Chengwu was reporting to Sect Master Xiao on the movements of the Wanyue Sect, and after finishing, he said: "The Beast Clan and the Sea Clan have no choice but to give up the protection of Chen Tang this time, and we can't help anymore, are you secretly taking Xiao Chuanfeng and Chen Tang over?"
Xiao Yanfeng shook his head, "Let's not talk about whether Chen Tang will come, this practice is undoubtedly a shame for the two of them, it is not Chen Tang's style to run away without a fight, Chuanfeng has a strong personality, and he will not accept it, this incident actually forced my father out of the pass, and the forced Chixiao Sect can't shelter them, Wanyue Sect is really exhausted." β
Zhou Chengwu sighed, this situation is a bit cruel for those young people.
