The Xianwu Continent is vast.

The Yan Kingdom is just an inconspicuous small country in the corner of the Eastern Regions.

However, even this insignificant country in the eyes of the monks is a poor and remote country, and the area is far from being comparable to that of China where Zhong Yan was in his previous life, but most of them are unexplored and rarely visited by mortals, with the resource areas of 'Yunmeng Swamp' and 'Mangdang Mountain' being the most.

Excluding the small cities and villages with a population of less than 500,000, there are a total of 127 cities in the Yan Kingdom.

Among them, Changyi City, located in the south-central part of the country, belongs to the Ming Haozong and is the meeting place of the three major princes.

The nearest city to the north of Changyi is Changping City of Ming Haozong, Fengdeng City of Huoyun Sect to the east, and Quzuo City of Tangmen to the south.

The twenty-seventh year of Jinghong, April.

The Ming Hao Sect and the Huoyun Sect proposed that the Shenxiao Sect should preside over the battle to end the civil war in the form of a vassal state competition.

Faced with the situation of the possible union of the two cases, Tang Men hesitated again and again, but still refused.

Zhong Yan speculated that maybe the Tang Sect was subject to the mysterious Palace of Eternal Life and couldn't be the master, so he wanted to persevere and wait for reinforcements, such as the armies of other countries that were also controlled by the Palace of Eternal Life on the battlefield of Wei in the east, or maybe the Tang Sect thought that it had a hard enough backstage in the Shenxiao Sect, even if it was defeated in the end, there was still a way to retreat.

However, the Tang Sect should be glad to refuse, otherwise the venue of the competition will become the burial place of many important high-level leaders of the Tang Sect.

The following month, the Ming Hao Sect and the Fire Cloud Sect announced their alliance.

The garrison armies of the ninety-two cities on both sides moved together, which lasted three months, and converged into a six-way army, and attacked the territory of the Tang Gate at the same time.

In the end, 8 million warriors, 100,000 monks, and 300 Jindan Realm were gathered, and the troops were sent from Changyi, becoming the largest and strongest siege battle since the civil war.

Banner hunting, soldiers coming to the city.

The coalition forces besieged Quzuo City.

On the upper floor of the North Gate City, many Tang Gate Jindan powerhouses looked solemn, and many people's eyes flashed with panic, even if they controlled the fourth-order defense array together, they would not be able to support it for long, not to mention that there were a total of fifty-three Jindan in the city to guard the four gates.

"This is where most of the combat power of the two sects has converged!"

"Qu Zuo can't hold it."

"Tang Ji asked me to hold on, and the reinforcements will arrive soon."

"Where are the reinforcements? The southeast three-way army is directed at Jingzhou, and the Tang family is willing to lose their base? ”

"But once Quzuo is lost, the rear cities will be even more unable to hold it!"

Even if it is the same fourth-order defensive array, due to the different levels of array mages and the difference in materials, the effect of the formation will be strong and weak, and not all cities have built a fourth-order large array, and Qu Zuo's defensive array is one of the best, and it is an important gateway to the periphery of the Tang Gate.

"I said that it should be put on the negotiating table and put out the war peacefully!"

"It's all in the city, it's too late to say this."

“……”

Woo woo woo ~ The horn sounded

Knock knock knock ~ The drums of war beat.

Shi Liangxiu stood high in the air, did not admonish the nonsense of Tou Cheng, and slashed his hand forward: "Kill!" ”

The army of monks and warriors lined up neatly and rushed up, roaring to the sky.

……

Qingyang City.

Cangbao Street, Erzhongyuan.

Zhong Yan was sitting in the courtyard sipping wine, and not far away, a child in brocade was boxing in a 'hey, hey, haha', for Su Yue's son Zhong Qidao.

Jiang Yunruo, who was serving beside him, reached into the storage bag and said, "Husband, it's started." ”

Zhong Yan bowed slightly.

Bai Siyuan walked quickly: "Virtuous brother! News came from the Wei State that the army of the Seven Cities of You Ye Kingdom showed signs of mobilization, and it was suspected that it was going eastward, and according to the statistics of the register, the combat strength of the Seven Cities Jindan was more than 200 people. ”

Zhong Yan pinched the wine glass and showed a sure look.

After a while, there was a fluctuation in the storage bag.

Zhong Yan glanced at Bai Siyuan, and after he retreated, he condensed the isolation shield and took out the talisman.

A woman's voice came out: "Zhong Daoyou is well, do you remember your covenant with the Hall of Eternal Life?" ”

Zhong Yan smiled: "Of course, what advice does the Lord of the Firefly Night Hall have?" ”

Hotaru Night: "Let Minghao withdraw his troops from Quzuo." ”

Zhong Yan paused, raised his voice in a surprised tone, and said, "What are you kidding?!" Daoyou thinks too highly of Zhong, how can I influence Minghao and Huoyun's decision! ”

Hotaru affirmed, "You can." ”

Zhong Yan's eyes flashed, and the speculations in his heart were confirmed one after another, and said, "I'm sorry, Daoist friends are thinking too much, Zhong is powerless." ”

Hotaru Ye said: "If you want to completely disintegrate and defeat the Tang Gate, the Yan State will definitely be greatly injured, if You Ye enters the army at this moment, Qin Ben's decades of operation in the Wei State will be in vain, and he will withdraw from the Wei State, why will the Yan State compete in Weinan in the future?" ”

Zhong Yan nodded thoughtfully and said, "It makes sense, but, what does it have to do with me?" ”

Hotaru Ye said coldly: "Are you going to tear up the agreement and go against the Palace of Eternal Life?" ”

The corners of Zhong Yan's mouth hooked up a sneer, but he explained seriously: "Don't dare, Zhong is self-aware, but the agreement states that you and I can help each other within our capabilities, and now you want me to do something that I can't do at all, how should I deal with it?" ”

Hotaru was silent.

Zhong Yan changed his words and said, "But then again, since you think I can influence Minghao's high-level decisions, how do you think I am better than Tangmen?" ”

Hotaru was slightly stunned and asked, "What do you mean?" ”

Zhong Yandao: "The agreement has always been there, at least so far I have never thought of destroying it, natural selection, survival of the fittest, there should be no Tang Sect, Tang Men came to this point by accident or inevitable, you should know better than me, it is no longer of much use and difficult to save, why not abandon it?" I believe that the cooperation between the Zhong Clan and the Hall of Eternal Life will reach a higher level! ”

Hotaru raised her eyebrows: "Why?" ”

Zhong Yan smiled dumbly: "Do you think I can make Ming Hao withdraw his troops!" ”

Hotaru Ye thought for a while and said: "Let Ming Hao withdraw his troops, more than 300 Jindan from the Tang Sect are a combat force that cannot be ignored in the entire Weinan, and they are of great use!" ”

Zhong Yan said: "Waste of resources, you choose." ”

Hotaru: "This is the condition? ”

Zhong Yan: "I'll see if I can think of a way." ”

"Wait!" Hotaru sneered and ended the call.

The old god Zhong Yan was there, and took the wine glass from Jiang Yunruo's hand.

"Husband's expectation is good, the Immortal Palace's control over the Yan Kingdom is not strong, at least the high-level of the Fire Cloud Sect has not been infiltrated."

Zhong Yan said: "Mostly because of the Shenxiao Sect, in terms of connections, it is undoubtedly the closest connection between the Huoyun Sect and the Shenxiao Sect, and the Huoyun Sect is equivalent to the spokesperson of the Shenxiao Sect in the Yan Kingdom. ”

After a pause, he continued to mutter: "Twenty years ago, there was a fourth-layer Jindan in Yueli, and if it wasn't a monk of Yan Kingdom, it should have come from the west, and it is more likely that You Ye Kingdom would ...... From this point of view, the Palace of Eternal Life is only a strong information network, secretly amassing a lot of resources and wealth, and its real strength is not as strong as we imagined, at least in Yan Kingdom, and even Weinan, it is far from being able to cover the sky with one hand. ”

Jiang Yunruo pondered for a moment and said, "Didn't Elder Lin say that the Hall of Eternal Life was silent for a thousand years before it was born, could it be that it was also because of the Nian Power Beads, in fact, they have just recovered and developed now?" ”

Zhong Yan shook his head: "It's hard to say, no matter what, it is a force that has existed for thousands of years, and it was once prosperous, and it is best not to be an enemy." ”

Jiang Yunruo frowned slightly: "It's a pity that I can't find the core members of the Immortal Palace, otherwise I should be able to dig out some secrets." ”

Qingyang City, a member of the Hall of Eternal Life, has it.

Jiang Yunruo secretly captured two of them, but there was an unknown prohibition in Zhihai, and he couldn't crack the soul search.

One of them tried to search for the soul and died, and the other confessed a lot of things after being tortured, but none of them were important, all of them were some acts of stealing chickens and dogs, assassinating and plundering.

It's not as good as Jiang Yunluo who knows more.

Zhong Yan became more and more convinced of the guess in his heart, and said with a smile: "Even if we find it, we may not be able to get the information we want." ”

Half an hour later.

Hotaru Night summoned again.

"You Ye marched into the army, bluffed, Jingzhou rushed to help, I hope you will not disappoint the Immortal Palace, otherwise, your Zhong clan will be doomed!"

"In three months, the Dharma Protector will see you in person."

After saying a few words, without waiting for Zhong Yan to speak, the other side directly cut off the contact.

Dharma Protector ...... Zhong Yan was curious, the hall master Yingye already had a suspicion, the protector only existed in Jiang Yunruo's speculation before, and after some speculation, it might be Jin Dan, an elder of the Yan Kingdom.

I didn't expect it to be.

Now there are three people left in Jin Dan, the elder of Yan Kingdom.

Fu Pengzhan and Zuo Qianqiu can be ruled out.

Only Zhu Wenkang of the Chiyang Sect was seriously injured and escaped when the Chiyang Sect collapsed.

Zhong Yan remembered Yun Qianxun's Taoist ceremony in the Tang family, Zhu Wenkang and the Tang family were quite close, and Tang Ji also asked the other party to help chase down the evil cultivator Quan Boguang.

"If it weren't for Zhu Wenkang, then the hiding would be too deep, and he would never show up all his way to cultivation, and he wouldn't be known?"

Jiang Yunruo thought for a while and said: "It may also be an inconspicuous person, at that time, there was no Dan, we speculated that it was Jindan, it was only because there was a foundation nine layers at that time, that I felt that the higher status of the Dharma Protector realm was higher." ”

Zhong Yan shook his head and said: "You don't need to dig deeper, you will know when the time comes, spread the news to Qu Zuo, and prepare to besiege and kill Tangmen Jindan." ”

Jiang Yunruo: "Okay! ”

Zhong Yan got up and said with a smile: "Let's go, engage in a side hustle, and grab money!" ”
