Ninety percent of the Western Regions of the Shang Kingdom have become the territory of the Guiyuan Sect, and the surrender of the large and small sects and families has been destroyed, leaving only one Purple Pole Sect trapped in the Purple Pole Mountain with a large array, and it can only shrink out, and for this, Yin Jiao, the domain lord of the Western Regions, is ignoring it, and has a posture of letting the situation develop.

In the main hall of the Purple Pole Sect, there was a gloomy cloud, and Li Mengyang sat up and asked an elder below, "Elder Kang, how many disciples have escaped today?" ”

A thin half-grown old man got up, don't look at his appearance, but the momentum exuded from his body is a strong man who has no choice but to return to the void, he arched his hand at Li Mengyang and sighed: "Hey, Li Taishang, we have nearly a hundred disciples running away today." ”

"So how did you deal with it?" Li Mengyang asked again.

"Hehe, what else can I do, these disciples who want to run away can't stay, even if they are reluctantly stayed, there will definitely be trouble, so I'll just watch them leave and make sure they don't take anything from the sect." Elder Kang said with a wry smile.

Li Mengyang nodded, and at this time, an elder sitting next to Elder Kang frowned and said, "Taishang Li, since we closed the mountain, the number of disciples who have escaped has reached one-twelfth out of ten, and at first it was only some outer disciples and miscellaneous servants, but now there are already inner disciples who have begun to run away, I am afraid that if this continues, even our core disciples and personal disciples will not be able to help but escape." ”

Li Mengyang was also full of helplessness, and said: "Guiyuan Sect's hand is very powerful, after two failed to force the attack, they adopted such a strategy, to be honest, we are not afraid of their strong attack, but this method of boiling frogs in warm water just poked our soft underbelly, I don't know what good way Elder Rong has?" ”

Elder Rong smiled bitterly and shook his head, but at this time, an old woman who was opposite Elder Kang spoke: "Li Taishang, the old body feels that the most urgent thing we need to solve at present is our resource reserve problem, in the past half a year or so, we can only say that we can only go in and out, although our Purple Pole Sect has many years of savings, but we can't help this kind of practice of sitting and eating empty, especially since Tian Zhongyang took control of the Linghua faction, we don't even have a little support, the old body has calculated, if it goes on like this, At most, we will be able to hold out for a little more than a year, and we will reach the point of exhaustion, so it is urgent to solve the problem of resources. ”

Li Mengyang let out a sigh of relief and said, "What Elder He said is extremely true, it is urgent to solve the problem of resources, so what does Elder He have in mind?" ”

"Li Taishang, the old body thinks that according to the current situation of our Purple Pole Sect, the only way to completely solve this problem is to take refuge in the imperial court, but everyone knows that this is impossible, and it can also be seen that the imperial court does not want to waste too much energy on us, so he uses this tepid way to slowly boil us to death, but the old body has a way to temporarily alleviate it." Elder He stopped when he said this.

made the elders cry and laugh, Li Mengyang also shook his head with a wry smile, and said in his heart: "How old is this Mrs. He, how can she still be like a teenage girl, she likes to wear high hats." ”

But on the surface, it was to give her enough face, everyone knew, otherwise this old woman would be mad, so Li Mengyang coughed twice and pretended to be eager and asked, "What way?" ”

Seeing Li Mengyang's expression, Mrs. He was very satisfied, and said with a smile: "Do you still remember our Wangzi City, well, now it has been occupied by the Guiyuan Sect, but in such a short period of time, it is impossible for them to completely digest it, that is to say, most of the people in it are still towards my Purple Extreme Sect, so we should make good use of this." ”

There was silence in the hall for a while, and after a while, Elder Kang took the lead in asking, "Elder He, how do we use the method?" ”

"According to our information, after Guiyuanzong occupied Wangzi City, for some reason, they didn't move all the resources there, but instead transported a large number of resources there, and now they are piled up in the warehouse, and what's more, they also forcibly occupied all the shops in the city, and also looted the resources into the warehouse, so, I think, we can ••••••" Mrs. He became more and more excited the more she spoke.

However, the next moment, her words were interrupted by Li Mengyang: "Elder He, don't you think there's something wrong here?" ”

Mrs. He was stunned when she heard this, but Elder Rong reminded with a wry smile: "Wangzi City can be said to be at the foot of our Purple Pole Sect, Elder He, if it were you, would you put such a large number of resources in front of the enemy in such a grand manner without sending any guards?" ”

Mrs. He shook her head when she heard this, and suddenly realized: "You mean that they did this on purpose, the purpose is to lure us to go and rob, and then capture our masters in one fell swoop!" ”

The other elders also nodded in agreement, but Mrs. He was a little unwilling, and said, "Is there no other possibility, for example, the treasury of the Guiyuan Sect is already full of resources from other sects, and it can't be loaded anymore, so the things in Wangzi City will be placed there first." ”

However, when she said this, she herself seemed a little lacking in confidence, and of course no one said anything against it, at this time Li Mengyang suddenly asked: "Elder Kang, can those disciples who escaped escape from the blockade of the Guiyuan Sect safely?" ”

However, Elder Kang seemed to have known that Li Mengyang was going to ask this question, and without the slightest hesitation, he spoke: "Hey, that heavy blockade, coupled with the fact that the other party seems to have set up a surveillance formation, how can they get by, but they are all captured no more than two miles away from the mountain." ”

"Li Taishang, I'm just worried that they have brainwashed these disciples, and then release them all to demagogue when we have the most scarce resources, and we will collapse quickly at that time." Elder Kang then added.

"Hey, I don't know when Matthew's retreat will end, but if he's here, we can still give it our all." I don't know which elder sighed.

There was a sudden mourning in the main hall, and just when everyone was at a loss, a disciple's voice suddenly came from outside: "Report to Elder Taishang!" ”

Li Mengyang was startled when he heard this, and with a wave of his hand, the main hall immediately opened with a pledge, and a disciple ran in in a panic, hugged his fists and said: "Elder Qiqi Taishang and all the elders, just now Senior Brother Li and a group of disciples were about to escape, but they were stopped by us, and now the two sides are in a stalemate, and the disciples are here to ask the elders to call the shots!" ”

"What! Li Heng is the chief core disciple, and he enjoys the countless resources of the sect on weekdays, at this moment of crisis, he doesn't think about how to make the sect get through the difficulties, and he actually dares to incite other disciples to leave the sect together, how different is this from betraying the sect, it's really damned! A hot-tempered elder immediately slapped the table next to him.

Li Mengyang said lightly: "Let's go, let's take a look." Anyone could hear it, however, that voice was full of chills.

At the gate of the mountain, a large group of disciples gathered here, there were two groups of disciples in the middle of the confrontation, there were hundreds of people on each side, and one of the disciples of the Yin and Yang Realm shouted: "Li Hengyi, the sect treats you well on weekdays, why do you want to leave, and you have to incite so many junior brothers and sisters to leave with you, are you worthy of the sect's cultivation over the years?" ”

A handsome young man on the opposite side looked at the young man who spoke with contempt, and said lightly: "Zong Wuxian, don't say those big truths, that's just looking for an interface for your own hesitation and cowardice, do you think I don't know, in fact, you have long wanted to leave the sect, but it's just because you don't have confidence in your own strength, so you didn't leave for a long time, and now seeing that so many of us are leaving, you are unwilling, so you make such a righteous and awe-inspiring appearance, hum, Hypocrisy! ”

Zong Wuxian heard this, his face turned purple with anger, and he pointed at Li Heng and stammered and couldn't say a word, just when a disciple Gao Sheng shouted, "The elder is here!" ”

Li Heng was shocked when he heard this, what he was most afraid of now was that the elders would come to stop him, so a murderous intent burst out in his eyes, and he said coldly: "Zong Wuxian, if you don't get out of the way, I will kill you!" ”

"Hmph, Li Hengyi, who do you think you are, although I can't beat you, but it's not so easy for you to kill me, I still have to distinguish in front of the elders, the words you slandered me just now have encouraged a lot of disciples present, hmph, today I want everyone to see, what kind of despicable villain you Li Hengyi is!" Zong said with a resolute gaze.

Just when Li Hengyi wanted to make a move, a neutral voice came: "Stop, Li Hengyi, are you going to kill each other!" ”

Li Heng was shocked when he heard this, all the disciples of the Purple Pole Sect knew that the first rule of the sect was not to kill each other, if it was violated, it should be punished! In other words, if he does it now, the charge of cannibalism will be confirmed, and now even if Li Mengyang kills him on the spot, he deserves it.

Li Hengyi gritted his teeth and withdrew his Yuan Li, looking at the elders who were slowly coming, Li Mengyang also looked at Li Hengyi, and asked lightly: "Li Hengyi, the sect has never treated you badly, and it is also vigorously cultivating you, with your qualifications, I am afraid that you will be accepted as a personal disciple in two years, why don't you say goodbye, and also incite many junior brothers and sisters to leave with you, do you know that this kind of behavior is equivalent to betraying the sect." ”

In front of many elders, Li Hengyi didn't dare to hold it up, and arched his hand: "Elder Taishang, the sect is really good to me Li Hengyi, but over the years, I, Li Hengyi, have also made great contributions to the sect, not to mention anything else, among the top ten treasures on the sect's treasure list, three of them are contributed by my Li Hengyi, and on the list of sect task completion, I Li Hengyi also ranked third, three years ago, in the national sect disciple competition, I Li Hengyi also represented the sect, fought all the way, and finally won the first place in the country, Won the honor for the sect, these I, Li Hengyi, have all charged forward, and have never retreated, dare to ask Elder Taishang, where am I sorry for the sect? ”

At this time, Mrs. He spoke: "The sect provides a good cultivation environment and cultivation atmosphere for the disciples, so that the disciples become stronger and stronger, and the disciples should also try their best to maintain the sect and work hard for the development and growth of the sect. ”

Mrs. He's words immediately won the approval of most of the people present, but in this regard, Li Hengyi was unmoved, and said with a respectful but indifferent tone: "Elder He, I agree with what you said, but there must be a premise, that is, the sect should be worthy of the disciples to fight, but you see that now, the Guiyuan Sect is pressing step by step, and we, the disciples of the former great sect, can only be restrained and cowered in the big array, although it seems that there is nothing now, but after a while, the phenomenon of resource shortage will be reflected." At that time, I am afraid that the cultivation resources of our disciples will be deducted, and in the end, the sect may not be able to guarantee even the most basic resource distribution, may I ask, what future do we have to stay in such a sect, and what is it worth fighting for in such a sect? ”

I have to say that this Li Hengyi is able to speak well, and when he said this theory, many disciples present immediately agreed with his point of view, but Zong Wuxian on the side always felt that something was wrong, but he wanted to defend himself but didn't know where to start.

Looking at the strange look in the eyes of many disciples, Li Mengyang let out a long sigh in his heart, and said secretly: "It is said that it is easy to share hardships and hardships, and it is difficult to share wealth and wealth, but it is even more difficult to live and die together, that's it, it's okay, their choice is not necessarily wrong, let them go if they want to go." ”

Thinking of this, Li Mengyang suppressed everyone's debate, and said lightly: "Li Hengyi, you have to leave, this seat will not stop you, but you can't take away a single grass and tree of the sect, as for the rest of you, if you want to leave, just leave, but from now on, you and my Purple Pole Sect will no longer have any friendship, and you will not be able to claim to be a disciple of the Purple Pole Sect in the future!" ”

After speaking, Li Mengyang waved his hand, and a formation appeared in front of the mountain gate, and he explained: "From the formation, you can tell if you have taken the things of the sect, okay, the people who are going to leave now can leave!" ”

Li Heng was stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect things to be so easy, he had already planned to fight to the death, but he was a little hesitant when he looked at the magic circle set up by Li Mengyang, over the years, he had not used the identity of this chief core disciple to enrich his pockets.

But then, he heard Li Mengyang continue: "There is only one chance, after today, the Great Sect Protector Array will be adjusted, and no disciple's name card will be allowed to pass through the Great Array, that is, from today onwards, anyone who wants to leave the sect will be regarded as a traitor and will be killed on the spot!" ”

Li Hengyi no longer hesitated, gritted his teeth, and left behind most of the things he had obtained over the years, and the various cultivation resources, and even some treasure-level items, made the disciples present a little dazzled, and then, Li Hengyi passed through the magic circle without looking back, and galloped away quickly through the mountain gate.

With the beginning of Li Hengyi, there began to be disciples leaving through the magic circle one after another, at first it was only three or three, but then it became a group, and the disciples at the beginning still felt a little unbearable in their hearts, and bowed down to Li Mengyang and other elders to apologize, and when they arrived, they simply left directly, and even ripped off this last fig leaf.

Zong Wuxian stood aside, looking at this group of departing brothers and sisters, he was so angry that his teeth were clenched, and the joints of his hands crackled, and later, he really couldn't stand it anymore, and shouted loudly: "Don't you really remember a little bit of the cultivation grace of the sect, what qualifications do people like you have as martial artists, and why do you want to go further in cultivation, your hearts are already cowardly, and you will always live in the shadow of betrayal!" ”

However, no one paid attention to his shouting, whether he should go or continue to go, at this moment, a woman's cry attracted everyone's attention, and I saw a twenty-seven or eighteen-year-old female disciple with a pretty face desperately grabbing the sleeve of a handsome young disciple and crying: "Senior Brother Ling, don't you go, even if it's for me to stay, as long as you are willing to stay, I will listen to you in the future, okay!" ”

"Senior sister, don't pull me, the Ziji Sect has no future, otherwise, you can also go with me, with our strength, where can we find a place to settle outside, why do you want to stay here with all your heart to accompany this sect that has no future to fall together?" The youth said loudly.

"But senior brother, have you forgotten that we were helpless when we were young, it was the sect that adopted us and passed on our martial arts, and we have been cultivated for more than 20 years to have the ability we have today, and now the sect is in trouble, but you have to leave with your sleeves, and you can get by in your heart?" The woman cried.

"Hmph, sect, sect, in fact, in your heart, there is only the sect without me, in this case, you can stay in the sect, don't pull me, from now on, you and I have grievances and grievances, and they have nothing to do with each other!" The young man shouted.

"But senior brother, even if you don't think about me, you have to think about your child, I already have your child in my belly!" The woman screamed as if she had exhausted all her strength.

The young man was stunned when he heard this, but then he smiled again: "I don't know if it's my kind or not, slut, don't think I don't know, you have a lot of suitors, and the first to leave Li Hengyi is one of them, hmph!" ”

After the young man finished speaking, he shook his sleeves violently, broke free from the woman's pull and walked away, Li Mengyang sneered when he saw this, and muttered: "It's really a good disciple cultivated by the sect, hehe, Ling Instant, who ranks third in the inner gate, enjoys the countless resources of the sect, and grows up in the meticulous care of the elders, but in the end, only betrayal remains, and in the end, it is only the female disciple, although the reputation is not obvious, but she is loyal to the sect, such a disciple has not been cultivated, and we old guys are really blind." ”

Watching more and more disciples leave, Zong Wuxian no longer had the strength to be angry, he just raised his head and looked at the sky quietly, not knowing what he was thinking in his heart, and he didn't know how long it had been, Li Mengyang's voice came: "If there are any disciples who choose to leave, it's the last quarter of an hour, if you want to leave, leave quickly!" ”

At this moment, three middle-aged people walked over and arched their hands towards Li Mengyang and said: "Li Taishang, the three of us have decided to leave, thanks to the care of the Ziji Sect for so many years, we have nothing to repay, but you can rest assured, we hereby swear that we will never be the enemy of the Ziji Sect!" ”

Li Mengyang didn't speak, but Elder Kang next to him spoke: "Did the three guest elders really decide to leave, hehe, I didn't expect that our friendship would finally break up." ”

One of them smiled bitterly and said: "There is no feast in life, I will leave now, take care!" ”

After saying that, the three of them left without any nostalgia, and in the end, the formation was closed, and after some inventory, more than eighty percent of the disciples left, even half of the core disciples chose to leave, but to Li Mengyang and the others, none of the personal disciples left, and none of the elders left, unexpectedly, there were actually five guest elders who stayed, and these five people were all old people who had been in the Purple Pole Sect for hundreds of years!

Li Mengyang smiled and teased: "This time, our resources are enough to support it for a long time. ”

Everyone couldn't help laughing when they heard this, but the laughter was full of bitterness, at this time, Li Mengyang shook his arms and said: "Everyone, our Purple Pole Sect originally had two or three hundred thousand people, but now, we only have less than 30,000 people left, and then, the survival of the Purple Pole Sect is tied to our people, but we have a great chance to perish with the sect." ”

"Li Taishang, the disciple knows that his strength is low, but we all grew up by relying on the cultivation of the sect, so even if I die, I will not leave the sect!" Zong Wuxian shouted loudly.

"Swear to live and die with the sect, swear to live and die with the sect!" Everyone shouted in unison, and this emotion quickly infected everyone, including those who had lived for hundreds or thousands of years.

"Hehe, everyone's interest seems to be very high!" Just when everyone's emotions reached their peak, a chuckle came into everyone's ears.

"Who!" Li Mengyang was full of excitement, and then there was a burst of shouts, you know, at this time, someone actually passed through their large array barrier silently and came to their vicinity without being noticed by anyone, Li Mengyang's cold sweat flowed out at once.

However, the next moment, he was stunned, and then shouted, "Fang Lin, when did your kid come back?" ”

At this moment, Li Mengyang's heart was completely relaxed, it was Fang Lin, there would be absolutely no problem, because all these big arrays were laid out by Fang Lin under the auspices of them, including the teleportation array, as long as Fang Lin wanted to, even if they turned off the teleportation array, it would be useless, unless they all destroyed it.

"Master!!" An exclamation came, and a purple shadow rushed into Li Mengyang's arms in a flash, and cried with a whimper.

"Hehe, silly girl, what's there to cry about, you should laugh when you see your ancestor." Li Mengyang gently stroked Wen Yue'er's head, although he was smiling, tears appeared in the corners of his eyes.

"Master, woo, scared me to death, I was really scared to death, you don't know, how anxious I was when I heard that something had happened to the sect, but Fang Lin said that the sect would be fine in a short period of time, and he had to solve the power of the court first, knowing that people were worried to death, but he didn't let people come back, I hate him to death, woo woo~~" Wen Yue'er cried.

"Okay, okay, aren't you back, you see, the ancestor and the brothers and the elders are also here, don't cry, you see, the brothers are laughing at you, haha." Li Mengyang comforted Wen Yue'er in his mouth, but he glared at Fang Lin.

Fang Lin could only smile bitterly at this, and at this time, the other people in the Purple Extreme Sect also had a sour feeling in their noses, and after a long time, Wen Yue'er could be considered to have cried enough, wiped away her tears and stood beside Li Mengyang, but her hands grabbed Li Mengyang's arm with a dead hand, as if she would fly away as soon as she let go of Li Mengyang.

Li Mengyang also smiled bitterly, and could only let her hold on to herself, but she was very useful in her heart, and looked at Fang Lin and said, "You kid, how is it, have all the things in your family been resolved?" ”

Fang Lin didn't speak, just turned his head and looked around, the meaning was quite clear, these disciples and elders also understood, and immediately said goodbye and prepared to leave, but at this time, Li Mengyang waved his hand and said: "It's okay, Fang Lin, these are the core disciples and elders of my Purple Pole Sect, from today onwards, the Purple Pole Sect will not have any secrets about them!" ”

When everyone heard this, their hearts shook wildly, they never thought that Li Mengyang could say such a thing, this not only meant absolute trust, but also meant that they would be the absolute core members of the Purple Pole Sect in the future, that is, the power core of the entire Purple Pole Sect.

Fang Lin was slightly stunned, but he didn't say anything, so he spoke: "Tian Zhongyang is just a clown sent by the imperial court••••••

As soon as she said this, Wen Yue'er suddenly interrupted Fang Lin's words and said excitedly: "Master, don't you know, we are majestic, but there is more than one life and death realm powerhouse in us, hehe." ”

As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden scream from the audience, and many female disciples were even more shocked to cover their mouths, Li Mengyang looked at Fang Lin in shock and said, "Boy, Yue'er girl didn't talk nonsense!" ”

Although he also knew Wen Yue'er's character, it was impossible to talk nonsense about this kind of thing, but he couldn't believe it, at first he thought it was Invite Yue who made a move, Fang Lin just smiled, and glanced at Taka and Mengyi behind him, and the two of them immediately released the momentum of the powerhouses of the life and death realm, although they were put away, but Li Mengyang and the others were all sweating profusely.

Looking up at the sky with a long sigh, Li Mengyang said: "You kid, it's really unexpected, the northern country and his party, after coming back, their strength has skyrocketed a lot, hehe, now I'm afraid even the imperial court can't do anything to you." ”

"Hehe, Master, don't you know, we have fought a lot of beautiful battles." Wen Yue'er excitedly told everyone what her group had done during this time.

When the crowd heard that there were actually eight Life and Death Realm powerhouses in Fang Lin's team, three Spirit Array Masters above level nine, and twenty or thirty Reincarnation Realm and Quasi-Life and Death Realm powerhouses, they all had a feeling of dizziness.

It was only at this time that Wen Yue'er seemed to realize something, and after releasing her divine thoughts to investigate, she asked in surprise: "Senior Ancestor, why is there only such a small number of people in our Purple Pole Sect, could it be that the other senior brothers have been killed by that Guiyuan Sect?" As she spoke, her tears were about to fall again.

Li Mengyang let out a long sigh and said with a wry smile: "Hehe, those senior brothers of yours ••••••"

Next, Li Mengyang told the Purple Pole Sect about the difficulties that the Purple Pole Sect was going to face and the choices of those disciples, and Wen Yue'er's face turned red with anger, and she scolded those ungrateful guys, however, then Li Mengyang said something that stunned everyone.

••••••
