A few days ago, the Ming Palace convened various clans in Guiyuan City and called for a joint crusade against the Hades Temple. The people of the Mu Clan and Renzong immediately transmitted the news back to [Evergreen County], but no one expected that such a news would cause an uproar in [Evergreen County].

[Evergreen County] is the largest settlement of the Mu clan and [Renzong] on the mainland, and more than ninety percent of the population in the entire county is the people of the Mu clan [Renzong].

The other four envoy clans are different, and the ancestors of the Mu tribe believe that they have the same roots and origins as the world, so they should live and thrive together with ordinary people. This fundamental difference in concept makes the relationship between the Mu clan and the attached clan very different from that of other envoys. Among the five clans, the first to accept the attached clan was the Mu clan, who treated all members of the clan equally, gave everyone the same opportunities and conditions, and did not exclude intermarriage with people outside the clan. It is precisely because of this attitude of embracing all rivers inherited from generation to generation that the Mu clan has maintained a vigorous vitality that is different from other envoys, and the status of [Renzong] has of course also risen, and it is also the head of the four sects of benevolence, righteousness, etiquette and wisdom. Now, the clan composed of the Mu Clan and the [Renzong] can be called the second largest force on this continent besides the Ming Palace.

The Mu clan adheres to the belief of benevolence and benevolence, and is friendly with various clans, and has established a good cooperative relationship with the Ming Palace, jointly maintaining the security of the entire continent.

However, the incident of the former dragon envoy Lin Tong colluding with the Hades Temple to destroy the Seven Birds City caught them off guard, and then the bad news continued to come one after another, the patriarch Sen and the wooden envoy disappeared one after another, and the sacred mountain lost control.

The foundation on which the Mu tribe has relied for thousands of years to survive has been shaken.

The dragons in the clan have no leader, "exterminate the Hades Temple", "set up another patriarch", "search for missing persons", and all kinds of voices came out for a while.

When the Ming Palace's call to attack [Chiyan City] and the news that the people of the Mu Clan were wanted for rebellion came together, the people were immediately divided into two factions. The conservatives, led by Mu Yiqiu, insisted that they should first regain control of the lost sacred mountain, and at the same time increase the intensity of the search operation for the missing wooden envoys, so that all the civil strife could be resolved first, and it would not be too late to deal with the Hades Temple after they had gained a firm foothold. The other part of the radicals believed that they should fully support the proposal of the Ming Temple, and work together with all parties to immediately eradicate the root of the Temple of the Underworld, once and for all.

Mu Yiqiu, the conservative leader who has the support of most of the Mu people, is the wife of the bear envoy Lin Xin, that is, Mu Min's mother. The incident of Hades's attack on Seven Bird City caused her to lose contact with many relatives at once, but in this critical situation, there was no extra time for her to think about this. She resolutely stepped forward and took the initiative to provoke the clan's pillars, wanting to fully promote the plan for the recovery of Sacred Mountain.

She knows very well that the sacred mountain is the foundation of the Mu Clan, the most important thing. Now that the teleportation circle of the Divine Mountain has failed, while they still have a rough idea of the location of the Divine Mountain, they should send troops to recover the Divine Mountain as soon as possible, otherwise if they wait until the capture of [Red Rock City] to go, it will be too late. And if the Sacred Mountain is lost, the Wood Clan will lose its foothold, and all the savings accumulated over thousands of years will be destroyed, and then the Wood Clan will inevitably be wiped out on the continent together with the Fire Clan, like the rest of the three clans.

However, Mu Yiqiukong has the name of Mrs. Lin Xin, the bear envoy, and has no real power in itself. She still has some say in the Mu clan, but she has little influence on the people of Renzong. What's more, the number of people in favor of sending troops in the entire clan is far greater than the conservatives who have recovered the sacred mountain.

The vast majority of the sect members, led by Elder Li Zhuozhou of Renzong, strongly demanded that troops be sent immediately to bring justice to the Seven Birds City and those who had lost their lives at the hands of the Hades Temple in the past. Even the conservatives themselves were a little shaken, and many relatives of the Mu clan also died in the battle of Seven Bird City, and they actually faintly hoped that the Mu clan could send troops to avenge this blood feud for them.

The council hall of [Evergreen County] is like a vegetable market every day, and people from the two factions are arguing over whether to send troops, and today is no exception. Seeing that the day when the Ming Palace proposed to send troops was getting closer and closer, if they didn't make a conclusion, they might not even have time to prepare for the war preparations, which was tantamount to indirectly announcing that the Mu Clan Renzong would not participate in the war. And this matter is about to be settled today, and Lin Xiujie, another city lord [Wolf Envoy] who is stationed in the Western Xinjiang with Lin Qiyu, will personally return to [Evergreen County] for this matter today. Lin Xiujie has a heavy army in his hands, and his opinion will determine the final choice of the entire clan.

"Even the other three sects, including Yizong, have expressed their support for the actions of the Ming Palace, and we, [Renzong], as the largest branch of the attached sects, have not expressed their stance for a long time, you can afford to lose this person, old man. "Elder Li Hanqing, who spoke [Renzong], is already more than ninety years old, but he is still indignant when he mentions this matter.

He continued: "Now that the Seven Birds City has suffered heavy losses in the first battle, the patriarch and several forest envoys have disappeared, the Divine Mountain has been taken away, and the dragon envoy Lin Tong has joined the Hades Temple, I heard that among these missing people, including all of you present, there are also some who are actually the same as Lin Tong, and have already secretly joined the Hades Temple, otherwise why would they not send troops to eradicate [Chiyan City]." ”

"Elder Li Hanqing, do you know what you're talking about!" Mu Yiqiu's face turned pale with anger.

"Of course, the old man knows very well, the current situation is very clear, the Mu Clan and the Ming Hall have always been friendly, and the Hades Temple has destroyed the Seven Bird City and occupied the Sacred Mountain, the enemy has launched an attack on us, and it is time to fight. The meeting convened by the Ming Palace, the Mu Clan and the [Ren Sect] were all present, their attitudes were already very clear, this time the [Chiyan City] extermination action Ming Hall hoped to be able to unite the Mu Clan and the four sects of benevolence, righteousness, etiquette and wisdom to send troops together, this time it was bound to take advantage of the Underworld Temple's illness and weakness to annihilate it in one fell swoop!

Mu Xiongnan stepped forward at this time, "Elder Li Hanqing, if you can capture [Chiyan City] with just your mouth, then no one is not happy. I believe that Elder Li has also heard the news of the Ming Palace's fiasco in the past few days, although the Ming Palace did not disclose the detailed battle situation to the outside world, but it is certain that the elites of the Ming Palace's Four Elephant Court and the Misty Moon Court, plus Yongzheng personally projected the Divine Mountain, still did not recapture the Divine Mountain. There are even many rumors in the market that the elites of the two courts have all been killed, and the entire army has been wiped out, and even Yongzheng was almost assassinated by the killers sent by the Hades Temple.

It can be seen that the Hades Temple is not as vulnerable as we guess. Now the enemy is in the dark, I am in the light, the matter of the coalition army has already been in an uproar, don't talk about us, presumably the Hades Temple is also making full preparations, if we attack [Chiyan City] at this time, it is in the heart of the Hades Palace. At that time, if the battle on the front line cannot be destroyed as you imagined, and the Divine Mountain cannot be recovered for a long time, what will be the final result, Elder Li, have you thought about it?"

Elder Li Hanqing was squeaked by Mu Xiongnan's words, "Although the Ming Hall lost in the Divine Mountain, the Underworld Hall was also greatly damaged, and this is a good time for us to counterattack." ”

Mu Xiongnan praised loudly: "Elder Li is very right, now is a good time for us to counterattack! It's just that the target of our counterattack should be Shenshan.

Unlike [Red Rock City], due to the particularity of the Sacred Mountain, it is impossible for the Hades Temple to have any other reinforcement methods except for the teleportation of the empty ants. The Hades Temple has just fought a big battle with the Ming Palace, and even the Yongzheng Hall Master has been in retreat for many days, and the Hades must have been injured a lot, and the empty ants are just a decoration for them now. Now is the time when their Divine Mountain forces are the most empty and weak, and our Mu Clan can instead organize a group of expeditionary troops to enter the Sacred Mountain, and take back our own territory while they haven't covered their butts in the Hades Temple. The Hades Temple is definitely inferior to us in terms of number and familiarity with the combat environment, and the Mu Clan will definitely be able to firmly suppress the enemy, which is the safest way now. ”

Mu Yiqiu also secretly said in his heart, "Yes, as long as we enter the Divine Mountain, even if we lose again, we can use that to awaken the adults in the Sacred Mountain......"

Mu Xiongnan took advantage of the victory to pursue, "The Ming Palace made such a big move this time, and without saying a word, he led the people of the two courts to break into the sacred mountain of our clan, and they didn't take us seriously at all. If we don't take back the sacred mountain and restore our dignity, then such things will become commonplace in the future. The top priority should be to recover Mount Kinabalu as soon as possible, and then talk about other things later. ”

Elder Li Hanqing was speechless by what he said.

"The reason why we didn't inform the nobles in advance is because we have already learned that there is a rebellion among the nobles, and we are forced to make this decision in order to ensure that the operation can be carried out smoothly. Tao Chengzhi, the head of the guard of the Four Elephant Courts of the Ming Palace, happened to walk in from outside the conference hall at this time.

Everyone was very surprised that he didn't know why he appeared here, and Mu Xiongnan even rebuked loudly: "This is a meeting within our clan, and we didn't invite irrelevant people to participate, who allowed you to come in!"

"Lord Tao Chengzhi was invited by me. As soon as Mu Xiongnan's words were finished, another middle-aged man in uniform also walked in, it was [Wolf Envoy] Lin Xiujie.

Mu Yiqiu and the others knew that Lin Xiujie was a faction that supported sending troops, but they didn't expect him to dare to do such a thing as cutting first and then playing.

Lin Xiujie didn't say a word after he came in, Mu Yiqiu knew that this question couldn't be avoided after all, so he opened his mouth and asked, "I don't know what Lord Lin Xiujie thinks of the Ming Palace's proposal to call on the coalition forces to exterminate [Chiyan City]?"

Only then did Lin Xiujie slowly speak: "I support Mrs. Mu Yiqiu's opinion, and accept Shenshan as soon as possible." ”

Everyone was in an uproar, even Mu Yiqiu and the others didn't expect that Lin Xiujie would be on their side. It's just that if that's the case, why did he come with Tao Chengzhi, the head of the guard of the Four Elephant Court.

Lin Xiujie paused for a moment, and then said: "I have already met with the Lord of the Yongzheng Hall earlier, and the Lord of the Yongzheng Hall told me in detail about the battle between the Divine Mountain and the Hades Temple, and confirmed with me that it is the former Dragon Envoy Lin Tong who is now stationed in the Divine Mountain. The sacred mountain is a sacred place of our race, and it will not be easily given to others. As Mu Xiongnan said just now, we must clean up the door, restore our dignity, and let the world see the determination of our Mu clan.

In addition, I have also agreed with the master of the Yongzheng Hall of the Ming Palace, the Mu Clan fully supports the proposal of the Ming Palace, and the Western Realm will transfer 20,000 troops to join the coalition army to jointly exterminate the remnants of the Hades Temple in [Chiyan City], and we must cut down the enemy in one fell swoop, leaving no trouble!"

There was silence in the council chamber, and it turned out that all of them had guessed wrong.

Mu Yiqiu understood that the general trend had gone, and sat down on the chair, only afraid that the Mu Clan's Renzong would have to reshuffle the cards from now on.
