When Fang Lin and the three of them caught up with the team, they were not far from Dongxia Mountain, and it was not too early to look at the sky, because the various post stations and inns that Fang Lin and the others had envisioned before had not yet been established, so everyone decided to rest in Dongxia Mountain for a night, and then continue on the road tomorrow.

Early the next morning, when everyone was preparing, Concubine Shu came to Fang Lin's side and said softly: "Senior brother, I seem to be about to break through, or can you stay with me first, and then chase after everyone when I break through?" ”

Before Fang Lin could speak, Hong Tian on the side laughed and said: "Haha, Senior Sister Shu, congratulations, you don't have to worry, the breakthrough is wholeheartedly, we are all waiting for you here, not to mention that the situation of breaking through the Yin and Yang Realm is not something that can be seen anytime and anywhere, we have so many junior brothers and sisters here, don't you want to give them a long insight." ”

Li Mengyang and several other elders also walked over with a smile and said, "Concubine Su, you can rest assured to break through, we can still afford to wait for this time." ”

Concubine Su glanced at everyone gratefully, and said softly: "Thank you for your uncles and brothers' love." ”

The rest of the disciples also cast envious glances at Concubine Shu, but no one complained, however, to everyone's astonishment, Dongfang Lei, Qu Shan'er and Bai Lian also said one after another that they also had a feeling of breaking through, which attracted envy, jealousy, and hatred.

In the southern region of the Shang Kingdom, the war between the He family and the Heavenly Desolate Sect has lasted for a year, but after the first fierce confrontation, both sides have suffered losses, and there are no major losses in the back, and even, in the past half a year, the two sides have not even had a decent battle, that is, some small fights, but the two sides can't let go of that face, and they have been in a stalemate.

At night, in the He family's land, a figure in a big black cloak knocked on the door of the He family, and before the porter could ask, the black cloak stuffed a piece of high-grade Yuanjing into his hand, and the porter was immediately overjoyed, and said with a pleasant face: "May I ask what is important for your guests?" ”

The black cloak said lightly: "The head of the noble family, friends from afar have important matters to discuss!" ”

The porter said with a difficult face: "This... You see it's so late now, if I rush to report it, the family is mainly to blame, but the villain can't afford it. ”

The black cloak stuffed a piece of high-grade Yuanjing into the concierge's hand, and said, "There is little brother Lao to take care of one or two, I do have 100,000 urgent things." ”

The porter glanced at the Yuan Jing in his hand, thought about it in his heart, and said, "Okay, please come in first, wait in the foyer for a while, and I'll go and report to you." ”

In the study, after He Pingzhang listened to the porter's praise and praise, his brows were deeply locked, and he paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, and after a while, He Pingzhang snorted coldly in his heart: "What kind of cow ghost and snake god does he have, see him first." ”

So he turned to the porter and said, "Go, let him meet in the flower hall." ”

In the flower hall, after He Pingzhang and the black cloak greeted each other, the guests and hosts sat down, and He Pingzhang opened his mouth and said: "Your Excellency came to visit, but you don't show your true face, this is too insincere." ”

The black cloak smiled softly and said, "Hehe, what the head of the He family said is extremely true. After speaking, he stretched out his hand and lifted the black cloak on his head, this is a middle-aged man with a green silk beard, a face like a crown of jade, and eyes like bright stars.

He Pingzhang smiled faintly and said: "I don't know if Your Excellency needs He's help with anything, please say it bluntly, if He is within his ability, he will not refuse." ”

The black cloak arched his hand and smiled: "The head of the He family is quick to talk, admired in the next, and Xiao Yang in the lower Yu is an elder of the royal family of the Dayu Kingdom, and he came to the Shang Kingdom to discuss something with the head of the He family on the orders of the emperor." ”

He Pingzhang was interested when he heard this, he knew about the three major factions going to Yu Guo, and he also thought about sending people to destroy it, but at that time, they were fighting the most fiercely with the Heavenly Desolation Sect, so they didn't have time to do this matter, and now the royal elders of Yu Guo actually took the initiative to come to him, how could he not be interested?

Sitting up slightly straight, He Pingzhang said in a low voice: "What credentials do you have?" ”

Yu Xiaoyang smiled lightly, didn't say a word, took out a piece of turquoise blue Panlong Jade from the storage ring and handed it to He Pingzhang, took the Panlong Jade, He Pingzhang entered a wisp of true yuan into it, and suddenly Panlong seemed to be alive, circling and wandering, but in the middle there was a golden word "Yu", and at the same time, a stream of information poured into He Pingzhang's brain; Yu Xiaoyang, the eighth elder of the royal family of the Great Yu Kingdom, has the same status as a prince!

He Pingzhang let out a sigh of relief, returned Panlong Yu to Yu Xiaoyang, and said, "The He family has no friendship with your country, I don't know what the Eighth Elder sends?" ”

Yu Xiaoyang smiled cruelly and said, "Although we didn't have any friendship before, we will definitely have one in the future, because we have a common enemy, that is the Linghua faction, Fang Lin!" ”

When He Pingzhang heard this, he raised his eyebrows and then recovered, and teased: "Fang Lin is just a junior, how can he provoke your royal family of the rest of the country again, hehe, listening to Your Excellency's tone, it seems that your royal family has suffered a lot of losses in the hands of Fang Lin." ”

"Hmph, hasn't your He family suffered a loss in Fang Lin's hands? How did I hear that in your country's big competition, all the elite disciples of your He family died in the hands of Fang Lin, and they died very badly, so that the head of the He family couldn't take revenge, so he could only sulk there. Yu Xiaoyang sneered.

He Ping became angry when he heard this, this is an eternal pain in his heart, he slapped on the table, and the momentum on his body suddenly exploded, and Yu Xiaoyang, who was so pressed down that he couldn't even straighten his waist, and big beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

However, Yu Xiaoyang still stubbornly raised his head and stared at He Pingzhang, and sneered: "I originally wanted to plot against others, but I didn't expect to be plotted by others, and in the end, not only did I not want to take revenge, but instead provoked Zhongli's old ghost for no reason, and finally caused a war between the two families, but gave the Linghua faction a chance to develop in vain, hehe, it's really ridiculous!" ”

He Pingzhang was even more embarrassed when he heard this, but he was so excited that he instantly sobered up, he understood that what people said was right, at that time, it was because of his momentary anger and lack of careful planning that Zhongli Old Ghost fled back to the Heavenly Desolate Sect, which caused a sect war, and he had no time to deal with the Linghua faction all the time, but now the Linghua faction is getting stronger and stronger, if he wants to destroy it, his side is afraid that he will pay an unimaginable price, and then he was taken advantage of by the Heavenly Desolate Sect and destroyed his family.

He Pingzhang retracted his momentum and snorted coldly: "What do you have to do with us if you want to deal with the Linghua faction?" Of course, I'm cheering you on. ”

Yu Xiaoyang took a few breaths fiercely, sorted out his mood, regained his faint smile, and said: "The Linghua Sect has at least three star exercises, which makes us all greedy, if the He family master is really not interested, then I think the Heavenly Desolate Sect should be very interested, and then we will have to thank the He family master for his cheering." ”

He Pingzhang's heart was entangled, the Linghua faction was a big fat sheep that their He family had long taken a fancy to, and now I heard that someone was going to take the lead, which made him still have a smile on his face, but on the surface, he still snorted coldly: "Do you think the Linghua faction is so easy to take, if that's the case, we would have taken it down a long time ago, why wait for you to come." ”

Yu Xiaoyang said unhurriedly: "We have been in the Southern Regions for so long, how can we not have any arrangements? I can tell the truth to the Lord of the He family, we have completely grasped the basic situation of the six big cities mastered by the Linghua faction, and we have also planted a lot of hidden piles in them, just wait for us to send troops, there will be people who will cooperate with the outside and the outside, and after these cities are taken, the Linghua faction will not be able to sit idly by, when the time comes, as long as they stay on their way, we will kill a group of them, hehe······"

He Pingzhang's eyes shrank when he heard this, and then he burst into laughter, pointing at Yu Xiaoyang and saying, "You... You guys... Haha, I actually came up with such a stupid solution, do you know that even if the people of the Linghua faction don't come out, it will have no impact on them, the big deal is that the mountain will be closed for twenty years, do you have to be like a watchdog in front of people's doors all the time? ”

Yu Xiaoyang still said quietly: "Seal the mountain? Hehe, I'm afraid the current Linghua faction can't do it, as far as I know, the Linghua faction currently has nearly 200,000 people in the mountain gate, even the disciples and miscellaneous servants, and the Linghua faction relies on the food purchased by the city every day is a very staggering number, from here, it can be inferred that they do not have too much food in the mountain gate, so what do they use to close the mountain? ”

He Pingzhang seemed to be a little moved, supported his head with one hand and pondered, and laughed again after a while: "Haha, you are really shrewd, you almost frightened the old man, hum, what you just said is all hypothetical, even if it comes true, then the Heavenly Desolate Sect must also go to a strong man in the reincarnation realm, hehe, if our He family does not move, he Heavenly Desolate Sect will not dare to move at all!" ”

Yu Xiaoyang laughed and said: "The head of the He family is on the point, if you want to destroy the Linghua faction, the Heavenly Desolate Sect and the He family must join forces, I think the two of you seem to have the intention of striking the army for a long time, it is better for our Yu royal family to be a matchmaker, threading the needle for the two of you, and then, the three of us will join forces to uproot the Linghua faction, I don't know what the head of the He family thinks?" ”

He Pingzhang was silent for a long time, and then asked in a deep voice: "Then after the Linghua faction is destroyed, how will the benefits be distributed?" ”

Yu Xiaoyang said: "We want thirty percent, and the remaining seventy percent will be distributed by the two of you?" ”

He Pingzhang asked again: "Do you have a strong person in the reincarnation realm?" ”

"No, but we have ten Nai He Realm powerhouses." Yu Xiaoyang said.

"In that case, you will only get 20% of the gain, not more!" He Pingzhang said toughly.

"Yes, but we have to have a star exercise, otherwise we don't need to talk about it." Yu Xiaoyang said.

He Pingzhang hesitated for a long time again, but finally agreed, because he knew that he had to take down the Linghua faction before Fang Lin returned, otherwise, their losses would probably increase by multiples.

At the same time, the same scene was staged in the Heavenly Desolate Sect, and the final result was exactly the same as that of the He family, just like that, in the secret operation of the Yu Imperial Family, the Heavenly Desolate Sect and the He family reached an agreement, and on the surface, the two families were still so deadlocked, and there was no sign of a strike.

Liyang City, in the domain lord's mansion, Long Tiansheng waved his subordinates back after listening to the report, rubbed his temples with one hand, and muttered: "I didn't expect this Linghua faction to develop really fast, how long has it been, there are actually two second-rate families who have voluntarily merged into the Linghua faction, although they are two second-rate families that have been beaten to a half-crippled level, but their high-end strength still cannot be ignored, you know, the Linghua faction has at least three star exercises, if you give them a few decades or a hundred years, I can't guarantee that there will be a strong person in the reincarnation realm among them, in this way, this Linghua faction may soon get out of control, no matter what, we have to find a way to curb its development, but what should I do? ”

Just when Long Tiansheng was pondering, there was a knock on the door outside, Long Tiansheng was awakened from his contemplation, a little annoyed, and shouted: "Didn't you say, don't bother me if it's not a big deal?" ”

A deep voice sounded outside: "Lord Yu, the hidden stakes in the major cities of the Linghua Sect have been sent back urgently!" ”

Long Tiansheng was suddenly shocked, these hidden piles were personally laid by him when the Linghua faction was still emerging, firstly, to protect the Linghua faction at that time, and secondly, to monitor the Linghua faction, he knew that if there was no major news, these hidden piles would not send reports casually.

Long Tiansheng shouted in a low voice: "Come in!" ”

Long Tiansheng couldn't wait, and before the man could send the information, he walked directly to him, snatched a bamboo tube from his hand, took out a small paper scroll from it, and opened it to look at it.

There are two pieces of news reported above, first, it seems that the Linghua faction is going to make some big moves in the city of complete victory, and suddenly sent a large amount of supplies to it, although it is not clear what it is, but it is roughly estimated that it should be ordnance and military rations.

Second, recently, there have been many unidentified masters in the six big cities controlled by the Linghua faction, and their cultivation is above the Nine Secluded Realms, the most strange thing is that they are neither here to visit relatives and friends, nor to do business, let alone want to come to the Linghua faction, on the contrary, they are very interested in the situation of the city defense army and the management of the Linghua faction.

After reading the information, Long Tiansheng destroyed it casually, and slowly paced in the room with his hands behind his back, after a while, he suddenly raised his head, and said to himself with a low smile: "It seems that someone wants to do something against the Linghua faction, in my southern region, the only ones who can deal with the Linghua faction are the He family and the Tianhuang Sect, some time ago, the two families didn't know what was going on, and they actually fought, giving the Linghua faction a lot of time to develop, but now it seems that both families have realized the terrible things about the Linghua faction, so, On the surface, he made a sabre-rattling look, but secretly he had already united, and set up a secret chess game in the big city of the Linghua faction, just waiting for the time to move, the inside and the outside should be combined, and the Linghua faction was caught off guard, well, not bad, not bad! ”

Long Tiansheng's frowning eyebrows slowly stretched, and he laughed heartily a few times before shouting out the door: "Come on, go and spread the word that Song Xian, the general of Huwei, Li He, the general manager of the domain lord, and Lu Tao, the governor of the Zhanghe Army, will come to see me quickly!" ”

After seeing the salute, Long Tiansheng said: "Song Xian, let you lead 30,000 elites to secretly go to the dense forest eight hundred miles northwest of the city to stand by, be sure to arrive at the designated place within a month, no mistake!" ”

After speaking, Long Tiansheng handed a Lingjian to Song Xian, and then said: "Li He, let you lead 30,000 elites to secretly go to the Xunfeng River Valley east of the victory to stand by, and you must also arrive within a month, there must be no mistake!" ”

"Lu Tao, let you lead 30,000 elites, in the name of inspecting the city, to enter Sanyang Town, and wait for my order!" After Long Tiansheng distributed the order, he didn't pay attention to the puzzled eyes of the three people, and waved the three of them away without waiting for them to ask.

After doing this, Long Tiansheng laughed proudly and muttered to himself: "I'm just waiting for you to fight each other, hehe, when the Linghua faction can't do it, I will raid with a large army and wipe out the strength of the three families, so that I can not only get the Linghua faction's treasury, but also get rid of a piece of henchmen, and when Fang Lin comes back, I will see that the sect is gone, and it is still the revenge I helped him avenge, hehe, there is a great possibility that it will be taken under the account, this is really a clever plan to kill three birds with one stone, haha." ”

······

In the main hall of the Linghua Sect, there were a total of one hundred and thirty-six people sitting in order, and these people had a long aura, and all of them were masters above the Yin Yang Realm! In addition, there are ten vacant seats, that is the position of Fang Lin and the other ten people, since Fang Lin and his party have gone out until now, it has been nearly a year, during this period, there are two second-rate families who have been beaten to the point of being half crippled and voluntarily joined the Linghua faction, one of them even has two ancestors in the Na He Realm, however, neither of these two families has star exercises; In addition, after half a year, the Wind and Snow Qilin has already figured it out, and swore to join the Linghua faction, and the rest of the small and medium-sized forces and scattered cultivators from all walks of life are not a few, and now the number of Linghua faction has reached 500,000!

After listening to the report of the disciples of the Dark Hall, Liu Rusong waved it back, then looked at everyone present and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, you have already heard what you said just now, let's talk about it, what do you think." ”

The Great Elder said, "The presence of mysterious people in our six major cities at the same time means that someone has planted a secret stake in our city, which means that they are likely to make a move against us in the short term. ”

An old man in the Na He Realm next to him opened his slightly narrowed eyes and said lightly, "Why is the Great Elder so sure? Didn't they want to come and work with our Linghua faction? Well, even if it's someone else's spies, how can you be sure that they'll be doing it in the near future? You must know that the only forces in the entire Southern Region that have the ability to wage war against our Linghua Sect are the He family and the Heavenly Desolate Sect, and the two of them are now in a stalemate, how can they have the spare time to take care of us? ”

The tone of the old man's words was extremely disdainful, and there was also a sneer, he was the ancestor of one of the latest families to join the Linghua faction, named Zhou Kuohai, he was a person with a very strong desire for power, but the strength of his family was not so powerful, so he had to temporarily stop the idea of challenging the Great Elder and replace it, but in his heart, he was extremely hostile to the Great Elder.

Just as Zhou Kuohai's words fell, an elder of the Yin and Yang Realm also got up and echoed: "Elder Zhou's words are reasonable, I also think that the Great Elder has made a bit of a fuss, since the founding of our Linghua Sect, the spies from all sides who have been mixed in it do not know how many, and those disciples of the Dark Hall have deliberately exaggerated the facts in order to highlight their existence and necessity, this is not impossible, should we also be hot-headed with them?" ”

This person is the sect leader of a third-rate sect who joined the Linghua faction more than a year ago, named Xie Dan, this person is not very good at cultivation, he is also relatively mean, and he likes to stir up the wind and rain, but because no one has paid attention to him before, he has not stirred up any storms, but since he saw Zhou Kuohai clearly, he has colluded with him, wanting to disrupt the situation of the Linghua faction, so as to seek some benefits for himself.

Feng Cheng is a disciple of the Linghua faction's "wind" generation, and is currently a cultivator in the Yin and Yang Realm, and the dark hall has always been controlled by him, Feng Cheng squinted his eyes and looked at Xie Dan, he has never had a good impression of this person, a young man with little ability and no small ambition, he knows that he is engaged in wind and rain all day long, and he is afraid that others will have a moment of peace, so he snorted coldly and said: "Elder Xie is saying that our people in the dark hall are alarmist and grandstanding?" However, if the matter is unfortunately corrected by us, and due to Elder Xie's negligence, the sect has suffered any major losses, can Elder Xie bear this responsibility? ”

This time it choked Xie Dan half to death, he didn't dare to say that he could take this responsibility, but he said unconvincedly: "Hmph, then, what if the situation you said in the dark hall does not exist?" Let all of us worry in vain, make preparations in many ways in vain, and waste manpower and material resources, so what should we do? ”

At this time, Xue Mantian opened his mouth and said: "There is no big mistake in being careful, it is always better to take precautions than to make amends, besides, everyone knows that the Heavenly Desolate Sect and the He family will never let go of our Linghua faction, it is just a matter of time, rather than rushing at that time, it is better to take advantage of the present to calmly arrange." ”

When the rest of the people heard this, they all nodded in agreement, even Xie Shan and Zhou Kuohai couldn't say anything to refute, and after a while, seeing that no one expressed any opinions, Liu Rusong said: "Then everyone agrees to prepare early, let's discuss the second item, since we already think that those people have a problem, do we want to remove them?" ”

Zhou Kuohai immediately shouted: "Since we suspect that he has a ghost, we should immediately uproot him, otherwise, it will bring us irreparable losses!" ”

Next to him, a middle-aged woman in her forties opened her mouth to object: "I don't think it's appropriate to move them now, since they are still asking around about our city defense strength and the state of the city defense, then it proves that they are not ready, and now we are not ready, I am worried that if we move those people, we will force the other party to move in advance, which is probably not good for us." ”

"You... Yang Mei, are you actually singing against me? Zhou Kuohai shouted angrily.

This Yang Mei is the ancestor of the Yang family in the second-rate family who joined the Linghua faction this time, but she turned a blind eye to Zhou Kuohai's anger, just half-lowered her eyes, and said lightly: "I'm just talking about things, and I don't mean to go against anyone." ”

Zhou Kuohai was half angry, but he couldn't find a reason to refute for a while, so he had to sit there and sulk, but there was a discussion in the hall, and many of them agreed with Zhou Kuohai's point of view, and there were also many opposing opinions, and a stalemate was formed in the hall for a while.

After a while, Xue Mantian spoke again: "Elder Feng Chang, I don't know if the disciples of the Dark Hall can be sure that the only people who sneaked into our city are the ones they discovered?" ”

This sentence was clueless, and everyone in the hall was stunned, but Feng Cheng quickly replied: "I can't be sure, but if we want to lurk in a certain city and have a plan, it will definitely not be the person who appears on the surface." ”

Xue Mantian nodded and said: "That is to say, the other party's people lurking in our city are likely to be more than what we see, you just imagine, if we now uproot all those who are revealed, then the people hidden in the dark will definitely be more careful, and once the other party finds out that we have uprooted their hidden stakes, they will inevitably immediately use troops against us, when the time comes, we have no preparation, then we will definitely suffer heavy losses, after all, the strength of the other party is much higher than ours, so, I think we should wait and see what happens, and secretly prepare to uproot those dark stakes again! ”

Feng Lu also nodded and said, "I think what Elder Xue said is extremely true, and besides, it is impossible for those spies to find out our core secrets, hehe, in fact, when we are on guard, isn't it up to us to let them know something?" ”

The meaning of her words is quite clear, that is, since I know that you are a spy, will the news I deliberately give you be beneficial to you, I will not only use your people to buy me time to prepare, but also use your people to be my spies.

Everyone in the hall was brightened when they heard this, and they all said that Feng had a very good idea, but the details needed to be discussed again, Xie Dan opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but finally gave up.

Liu Rusong saw that everyone's opinions had reached a consensus, so he spoke again: "Then the third item, we are going to discuss the allocation of troops, tactics, tactics and other issues. ”

Now the hall is quiet, they are all people in the rivers and lakes, usually brave and ruthless, fighting, killing and killing, it is commonplace, but once it comes to marching formations, tactical tactics, and strategic calculations, they have all become laymen, and no one dares to speak.

Liu Rusong let out a long sigh and said with a wry smile: "It's a pity, Fang Lin doesn't know when he will come back, he is not here, our military formation is really weak." ”

Feng Xue also thought about it in the same way: "Gao Ling and Gao Xin have some research on the military formation, but their cultivation is too low, and they have no reputation, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the public, not to mention that at such a critical moment, they dare not bet the entire sect on them." ”

Zhou Kuohai was about to get up and say something, but was stopped by the Great Elder first: "Regarding the issue of tactical tactics, I don't think too many people should know, let's wait a while, the elders and sect masters of the Na He Realm will go to the cabinet to discuss it." ”

Zhou Kuohai also felt that it made sense, so he didn't say more, but at this time, Xie Dan, who was sitting at the bottom, was lowering his head, his eyes were constantly flashing, and he didn't know what he was thinking about.
