221 Collect the Western Regions, Merge the Purple Pole, Reject the Threat, Retreat from Shangyuan 2
Li Mengyang looked at Fang Lin and said solemnly: "Fang Lin, I have a question for you, you must answer honestly, and you must not be perfunctory. β
Everyone was stunned by Li Mengyang's action, but after Fang Lin reacted immediately, he still nodded solemnly and said, "Senior, just ask." β
"Do you Linghua Sect now have the strength to surpass the imperial court?" Li Mengyang went straight to the road.
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, they heard Wen Yue'er talk just now, everyone was just listening to a story, but Li Mengyang heard some ways from it, Fang Lin was also stunned for a moment, but then recovered, and said with a smile: "I don't know if my current strength has surpassed the imperial court, but I am sure that the imperial court will never dare to move me easily." β
Li Mengyang lowered his head and pondered silently when he heard this, but at this time, Elder Kang opened his mouth and asked, "Fang Lin, just now Yue'er said that you have completely occupied the entire Southern Regions, I wonder if this is true?" β
At this time, Princess Xiangxiang looked at the elder with strange eyes, and Elder Kang immediately reacted and explained: "Hehe, don't misunderstand, I definitely have no intention of interrogating, but this matter is too abrupt and unbelievable, so the old man can't help but ask." β
Fang Lin smiled and said, "Yes, at present, the entire Southern Regions have been owned by me, but I only established the Linghua Sect, not the founding of the country, and even if I seize the territory of the entire Shang Kingdom in the future, it will also be the Linghua Sect, I call this system the Zongguo." β
Listening to Fang Lin's words, most of the disciples of the Ziji Sect present were a little moved, taking the sect as the country, without the emperor, everything came according to the rules of martial arts, this was exactly what they yearned for, and the people present also hated the current Great Shang Imperial Court, especially one of the elders of the Na He Realm, even gritted his teeth, Fang Lin saw that the elder was Zhang Fengqing of the Zhang family.
Everyone chatted for a while, but Li Mengyang suddenly raised his head at this time, looked at Fang Lin with burning eyes, and said, "Fang Lin, I want to completely merge our Purple Extreme Sect into the Linghua Sect, do you accept it or not!" β
This sentence immediately shocked everyone in the audience, but there was only one person who was not surprised, and that was Elder Kang, who had worked with Li Mengyang for many years, and how could he not understand his thoughts.
Fang Lin came back to his senses from the shock and said, "Of course it's welcome, but senior, the Purple Pole Sect is obviously still good, and this time I came over, I just plan to help you defeat the Guiyuan Sect, when the Purple Pole Sect can still continue to develop, why did you make such a decision?" β
Everyone also looked at Li Mengyang, waiting for his explanation, but at this time, Li Mengyang smiled bitterly and said: "Fang Lin, you are right, we can indeed use your strength to beat the Guiyuan Sect out of the Western Regions, or even completely kill it, with your containment, the imperial court will not have the energy to take care of us anymore, we can indeed develop quietly, but, you have also seen, my Ziji Sect is already a big injury to the vitality, if you want to recover, I am afraid it is impossible to have a hundred or even hundreds of years, And no matter how hard we try, at most it's just like before. β
All the disciples were very puzzled when they heard this, wouldn't it be good to be able to return to their original appearance, facing everyone's questioning eyes, Elder Kang explained with a smile: "Even if we return to the original level, as long as the imperial court wants to eliminate us, isn't it just a matter of supporting a Guiyuan Sect." β
This sentence deeply stimulated the disciples of the Purple Pole Sect, but Wen Yue'er opened her mouth and said: "But, with us here, does the imperial court still dare to touch the Purple Pole Sect, if that happens, Fang Lin will definitely make them suffer a big loss!" β
Fang Lin also laughed and said: "You don't have to worry about this at all, I will maintain continuous pressure on the imperial court, so that they don't have a chance to take care of you, and I will also include the entire Western Regions into my Linghua Sect's territory, and connect it with the Huanhua Wetland, you can develop with peace of mind." β
At this time, Elder He giggled and said: "The old body has already understood what Li Taishang meant, don't forget, we have made a brotherly alliance with the Linghua Sect, and the Linghua Sect at that time had a lot of potential at most, but it has only been a few years, and the Linghua Sect has already left us far behind, if it is another hundred years, hehe, I am afraid we will not even be able to see the backs of others." β
At this point, everyone had no doubt, at this time, many disciples had begun to bow their heads and ponder, Li Mengyang opened his mouth and said: "Hehe, Fang Lin can make so many life and death realms follow willingly, in addition to his own strength, I am afraid there should be something more attractive to them, something that can make the life and death realm powerhouses rush to it, for a sect, what does that mean, instead of looking up to people after a hundred years, it is better for us to simply merge into the Linghua Sect now, which not only saves us time to recover our vitality, And you can also take this chariot that has just started, and also enter the era of rapid development together, why not, as long as the Linghua Sect can retain my Purple Pole Sect as an independent branch. β
Li Mengyang is worthy of being an old monster who has lived for thousands of years, and he deduced some key things from Wen Yue'er's little information, although it is not complete and not far away, this time it is a great reminder to everyone, even the two siblings, Taka and Mengyi, glanced at Li Mengyang with strange eyes, and their hearts were extremely impressed by this person's insight.
At this moment, Elder Rong gritted his teeth and said loudly: "Everyone, what Li Taishang said is right, if we stick to the rules and stick to the shelf of the Purple Pole Sect, we can only return to the same way at most, and our brother sect, the Ling Hua Sect, is getting farther and farther away from us, even if Fang Lin and they don't have any ideas, they have always taken care of us, but are we willing to be other people's vassals?" β
"No, never, we don't!" All the disciples and elders let out the highest shouts.
"Therefore, we might as well merge into the Linghua Sect now and create brilliance with them, and when the time comes, we can also stand at the peak of the continent and play the banner of our Linghua Sect Ziji Hall in a dignified manner!" Elder Rong shouted.
Zong Wuxian clenched his fists when he heard this, and said loudly: "Yes, instead of holding on half-dead like before, it is better to merge into the Linghua Sect and fight together for a more ambitious future!" β
"But, Elder Rong, I don't understand how you can be sure that we will be able to stand at the peak of the entire continent in the future?" The female disciple who had been abandoned by her senior brother asked hesitantly.
"Hehe, since you have all decided to merge into the Linghua Sect, is there something you can tell them?" Wen Yue'er looked at Fang Lin and asked.
Fang Lin nodded, and Wen Yue'er spoke: "Let me tell you, we have eight powerhouses in the Life and Death Realm now, and there is also a third-level Purple Moon Snow Wolf, this is only our current strength, I'm afraid it won't be long before there will be several more powerhouses in the Life and Death Realm!" β
Listening to Wen Yueran's words, everyone in Rao is Purple Pole Sect was numb by the blow, but they were still shocked, and Li Mengyang stammered: "Yueβ’β’β’Yue girl, what do you mean by what you just said~~ yesβ’β’β’?" β
"It means β’β’β’β’β’β’" Wen Yue'er just opened her mouth and wanted to continue, but was interrupted by Fang Lin's opening: "Everyone, there are some things that belong to the secrets of the sect, it's not that they can't be told to you, but they need the contribution of the sect to exchange, but here I can tell you that your strength will be greatly improved, for the disciples who have not left, I want to congratulate you here, especially the lower the realm cultivation, the greater the benefits that the disciples can get, so don't be in a hurry to improve your cultivation, Wait to exchange the cheats of the sect. β
This completely confirmed that Ling Hua Sect had absolutely not weak cultivation techniques or cultivation secrets, and everyone did not have any hesitation in their hearts, and they all cheered loudly.
After a while, Fang Lin suppressed everyone's restless emotions and said, "Now I have a big gift for everyone!" β
Everyone pricked up their ears, and Fang Lin said: "I have already sent a part of the army through Zhongling Canyon, tomorrow we will send troops, attack from east to west, and get the entire Western Regions in hand, and you can let go of your hands and feet to kill it, every enemy's head is a contribution of the sect, how much you can take depends on your own!" β
Roar~~Roar~~ Roar, the disciples roared excitedly, and then dispersed, and began to prepare for tomorrow's action, Li Mengyang and a few other elders came to the main hall with Fang Lin and others, at this time Wen Yue'er took out a set of spiritual equipment and handed it to Li Mengyang and said: "Master, at this time, Yue'er specially selected it for your old man, but it took me a lot of contribution." β
An inner armor, a turban, a pair of wrist pads, a pair of knee pads, and a pair of fast boots, Li Mengyang looked at the suit that exuded a bright light in a daze, and he was already a little stunned, you must know that as the Supreme Elder of the Purple Pole Sect, there is only a sword on his body that is a low-grade spiritual weapon, and the rest of the armor is also a fight-level level, and the rest of the elders are even more dazzled, and they can't wait to rush up and snatch it immediately.
"Moon girl, you can get these things, how much does it cost to contribute to the sect?" Li Mengyang asked stupidly, but his heart was no longer on these questions.
"I don't know, it proves that my contribution is not enough, and the poor part is naturally filled in by Fang Lin." Wen Yue'er grinned indifferently.
This time made the rest of the elders envious and jealous, Fang Lin smiled and said, "Elder Li doesn't have to think about it, these are also Yue'er's filial piety, you can accept it." β
Only then did Li Mengyang come to his senses and arched his hand: "Thank you, sect master, please take a seat." β
Fang Lin was also not polite, he sat on the main seat with a golden sword, and everyone sat down, and then Fang Lin announced Li Mengyang as the second elder of the Linghua Sect as the sect master, no one objected to this, after all, the great elder was Fang Lin's master, and at the same time, he also announced the authority and obligations of the Ziji Hall to sit in the Western Regions and the Ziji Hall.
Next, after discussing many details, everyone dispersed, and the next morning, on the square of Ziji Hall, the people brought by Fang Lin and the people of Ziji Hall were a total of 50,000 horses and horses ready to go, and the pattern of the Western Regions would undergo earth-shaking changes!
β’β’β’β’β’β’
At the exit of the western region of Zhongling Canyon, there were already corpses lying on the ground, and there were two other people kneeling in front of an old man, and on the other side, a large number of troops had already walked out of the mouth of the canyon, and a phalanx was arranged in a wide place, black and oppressive, but it was quiet, and there was no sound.
"Tianxiao, I'll leave this kind of thing to you, the old man doesn't know what to ask." The old man spoke to the person behind him.
"Yes, Minghui Ancestor, just leave this kind of thing to the disciple to do." Dongfang Tianxiao came to the two of them as he spoke, looked at the two of them condescendingly and said, "If you don't want to endure hardship, answer my question honestly, otherwise, you will taste life is worse than death." β
"Hmph, Linghua Sect's, we admit it this time, we think that we are completely prepared, and we have already sent two powerhouses of the Reincarnation Realm to lead many high-level disciples to set up an ambush in this Zhongling Canyon, hehe, I didn't expect it, in front of two Life and Death Realm and a group of Reincarnation Realm and Nai He Realm powerhouses plus a ninth-level Spirit Array Master, it is simply nothing, we have nothing to say, but so what, want to get something from our mouths, dreaming!" One of them had a hard airway.
"Hehe, yes, yes, I have a child who said that she likes to encounter hard bones during interrogation, so she will have more room to play, and now I am going to try it, it is said to be very cool." Dongfang Tianxiao said and took out a small insect from the spirit beast bag.
After a terrible scream, the two prisoners of the reincarnation realm fell in a pool of blood, the appearance was simply extremely miserable, even those soldiers who had experienced a hundred battles and were used to seeing life and death were a little unbearable.
Dongfang Tianxiao resisted the urge to vomit, came to everyone and said loudly: "I have got the information I want, now let's set off to kill those lackeys of the imperial court, and include the entire Western Regions in our pockets, and a lot of merit depends on how much ability you have to get it!" β
One hundred thousand sergeants roared in unison, and the strength of these sergeants was holding back their strength, because their merits could be exchanged directly from the sect to the exercises of the star heaven rank and the cultivation experience of the predecessors, for these ordinary sergeants, it was a fatal temptation.

Qikun City, this is the capital of the Western Regions, the headquarters of the Guiyuan Sect is also here, at first everyone thought that the headquarters of the Guiyuan Sect should be in the original location of the Fanyin Sect, after all, at that time, all the high-level leaders of the Guiyuan Sect often came and went there, but only the domain lord of the Western Regions, Yin Jiao, knew that in fact, this so-called Guiyuan Sect was established by the imperial court at the behest of him, and he himself was the suzerain of the Guiyuan Sect.
At this time, Yin Jiao was sitting comfortably in the luxurious room of his domain lord's mansion, holding a small and delicate glass luminous cup in his hand, the cup was filled with ruby red wine, half-squinting his eyes to taste the mellow aroma of the wine, and only after a while did he let out a long breath and muttered: "What a Tubo country, there is nothing else, only these four steamed and four wined wines can be regarded as delicious in the world." β
At this moment, a very soft voice came from outside the door: "Lord Domain, my subordinates have something to report." β
Yin Jiao casually put the wine glass on top of the ice cubes held in a jade bowl on the small table next to him, and whispered, "Grape wine needs to be chilled to taste better." Then he got up and sat down behind his desk, straightened his clothes, and said, "Come in." β
The one who opened the door and came in was a middle-aged man with an elegant temperament, he cautiously walked to Yin Jiao's table, not daring to make the slightest footsteps, because this domain lord hates others to look frizzy in front of him, if he is unhappy, he can only blame himself for slapping you to death, who calls people members of the royal family.
The middle-aged man arched his hand and said respectfully: "Subordinate Feng Wanchun has seen the domain master!" β
Yin Jiao hummed lightly and said, "My clerk, just say something." β
"Lord Qiqi, there is another accident in Wangzi City."
"Oh? Could it be that those Purple Extreme Sect disciples who ran out yesterday wanted to do something? Yin Jiao asked lazily.
"What can those little miscellaneous fish do, they are all very honest, but early this morning, the Purple Pole Sect dispatched an army of 50,000 to directly attack Wangzi City." Feng Wanchun said.
"Hehe, I really didn't expect it, didn't you say that most of the disciples of the Purple Extreme Sect have defected, and the rest is only 20,000 at most, how did you come to 50,000?" Yin Jiao still said with that lazy look.
Speaking of this, Feng Wanchun hesitated a little and said, "From the mouth of the general guarding the city, we speculate that the leader seems to be Fang Lin!" β
"What!?" At this moment, Yin Jiao no longer looked lazy, he straightened up all of a sudden, and said in a low voice: "Who are you talking about, is it that Fang Lin of the Linghua Sect, how did he run to the Purple Extreme Sect?" Why didn't there be a report from Zhongling Canyon, and there wasn't even a decent fight, what are you all eating? β
Feng Wanchun secretly rolled his eyes and said, "If Fang Lin leads tens of thousands of troops to go from Zhongling Canyon to the Purple Extreme Sect, it is impossible for there to be no rumors along the way, so I suspect that Fang Lin did not go to Zhongling Canyon at all!" β
"How is that possible, if you don't go to Zhongling Canyon, are they all flying over?" Yin Jiao roared.
Feng Wanchun was a little aggrieved, but he didn't dare to show it, so he still said respectfully: "Have you forgotten, they have a teleportation array, didn't the previous Zhang family rely on the teleportation array to pass some of their disciples to the Purple Pole Sect." β
Yin Jiao was stunned when he heard this, and then scolded: "Damn, damn, you even forgot such important information, I said that you people who are engaged in intelligence are all eating dry rice, you can forget such an important thing, it's just a bunch of waste, rice bucket!" β
Feng Wanchun was scolded for being bloody, but he didn't dare to make the slightest move, but Yin Jiao seemed to be addicted to scolding, and scolded for a while before he said slowly: "With the current power of Wangzi City, it is absolutely impossible to stop Fang Lin, all the people there are finished, and if Fang Lin attacks us with all his strength, we won't be able to stop it for long, Long Tiansheng in the Southern Regions is an example, you go to the imperial court immediately, and ask them to quickly send masters and troops to come, otherwise, we are not opponents at all, go quickly!" β
However, just as Feng Wanchun was about to retreat, another middle-aged man dressed as a Confucian ran over and said breathlessly: "Lord Domain Lord, it's not a good thing, Lord Domain Lord!" β
Yin Jiao's heart was already on fire, and he was even more unhappy when he heard the words, and shouted: "What howl, look at you like this, what kind of system you have become, how does Lord Ben usually teach you, have you forgotten?" β
"Yes, I'm sorry, but I'm in a hurry." The man said aggrievedly.
"Say!" Yin Jiao said coldly.
"I don't know where the army came from, coming towards our Qikun City, and now it is still ten miles away from the city!" That's humane.
"What!?" Yin Jiao broke out once, and immediately rushed over and grabbed the man's collar and shouted, "Have you seen clearly what kind of person it is?" β
"I can't be sure yet, but it's definitely not my own!" The man hurriedly said.
"Nonsense, Lao Tzu didn't order the transfer of troops, how could there be his own army coming, are you a fucking pig!" Yin Jiao began to scold again.
was scolding, Yin Jiao saw Feng Wanchun on the side, and after being stunned, he rushed up and kicked Feng Wanchun to shit, and scolded: "You bastard don't go do your own thing quickly, why are you still staying here, watch the excitement, if you look at it again, you will see your head off!" β
β’β’β’β’β’β’
Under Wangzi City, Fang Lin led an army of 50,000 to line up under the city, Lin Tianheng shouted loudly at Chengshang: "The defenders in the city listen, we are the army of Linghua Sect, now my sect master Fang Lin is here, we don't want to kill more, now give you a chance, quickly open the city and surrender, we promise not to kill a single one, and anyone who is willing to join my Linghua Sect can join and become the city guard of this sect, if you don't want to leave, we will not be embarrassed." But if you resist, the time when the city is broken will be the time for you to die! β
At first, the defenders thought it was the people of the Purple Pole Sect, and they were all full of confidence, but as soon as they heard that the person who came was Fang Lin, many people were immediately shaken, they heard about what Fang Lin did in the Southern Regions, just some time ago, there were still some warriors in the Western Regions who were unwilling to belong to the imperial court or return to the Yuan Sect and ran to the Southern Regions.
Looking at the more and more turbulent military spirit, an adjutant general said to the general defending the city: "General, this military spirit is becoming more and more impetuous, I'm afraid it's not a good thing, if it's β’β’β’β’β’β’"
The general immediately waved his hand to interrupt him, and said, "I know, but these many of our armies are all pieced together, if I kill people now, I am afraid that it will immediately cause a mutiny, and then this Wangzi City will be self-defeating." β
At this moment, Fang Lin's faint voice came: "Your so-called city protection array is just a seventh-level array, if I want to break the formation, I don't need to attack at all, I only need the time of a meal, and you are only three generals of the reincarnation realm, I have two people here who have forgotten the life and death realm, the example of Long Tiansheng is in front of you, the last ten breaths of time, if you don't surrender, I will attack the city!" β
Although the voice was not loud, the pressure in people's hearts was incomparably huge, and some warriors with weak psychological endurance immediately shouted: "We surrender, we surrender, don't fight, don't fight!" β
When the general defending the city heard this, he was almost so angry that he vomited blood, and when he was about to order the execution of those soldiers who surrendered, the sound of this surrender became louder and louder, and there was a tendency to spark the prairie fire.
The general defending the city gritted his teeth angrily and said: "Yin Jiao, this waste, idiot, I told him not to put these miscellaneous armies together with our regular army, he just didn't listen, and used the identity of the royal family to pressure me, how is it now, I will lose my fighting spirit when I am so frightened by others, the most important thing is that this emotion will directly affect the regular army, damn, how to fight this battle now!" β
At this time, there was a hidden light in the eyes of the deputy general, and he immediately spoke: "General, do you think that we still have the ability to resist in the current situation, I am afraid that without Fang Lin's attack, this gang of miscellaneous troops will be able to drown us." β
"Do you want to surrender, it's a shame for a soldier, you must know that Lao Tzu has been in the army for hundreds of years, even when he was facing a desperate situation, Lao Tzu never thought of surrendering, you too, have been with me for decades, how could you say such a thing?" The general rebuked.
"General, it is our duty for our soldiers to charge into battle, attack the city, and die on the battlefield, but, at the very least, we can't die like this, especially under the stupid decision made by a fool, General, are you really willing?" The adjutant defended.
"Hey, the general sighed, obviously this is to his heart, as a real soldier, he died on the battlefield, he has no complaints, but how can such a defeat make him willing.
Just when the general defending the city hesitated, the city protection array was closed, the city gate was also opened, and there was a large sound of disarming and surrendering, and those people still had a faint feeling of excitement, even part of his regular army had no fighting spirit, and the general had to sigh and walk towards the city gate.
Fang Lin did not easily lead the army into the city, he was waiting, waiting for the general to come out by himself, and it didn't take long for the general's figure to appear in everyone's field of vision, meticulous in military uniform, serious and resolute, every movement was so standard, people knew at a glance that he was a real soldier.
"Fang Lin, you are really powerful, a few words broke my military heart, I have nothing to say, but I feel quite regretful, I couldn't fight with you on the battlefield, but surrender is not my intention, so, I ask to fight with you alone now, do you dare to take it!?" The general said in a deep voice.
"Haha, Your Excellency General, you are a real soldier, but you are not a real martial artist, you are a strong man in the reincarnation realm to challenge me as a junior in the Yin and Yang Realm, do you think this is appropriate?" Fang Lin laughed and said.
The general defending the city was stunned for a moment, and then he also reacted, nodded and said: "Then I will challenge a martial artist in the reincarnation realm in your camp, a battle of life and death, after this battle, no matter whether you win or lose, General Ben will sacrifice his head, how about it?" β
As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar, no one expected that this general would make such a decision, and immediately several of the general's personal guards walked to the general's side and said loudly: "General, I am willing to follow the general to die together!" β
The general glanced at these guards who had been following him for a long time, and a warmth rose in his heart, but then his eyes widened, and he shouted: "Get out, this is a battle between generals, what qualifications do you have to participate, live honestly for Lao Tzu, understand?" β
Seeing this, Fang Lin couldn't help but nodded, any general like such a soldier was very fond of it, and then said: "General rest assured, as long as they don't make trouble, I won't embarrass them, I admire the general's demeanor, in order to show respect for the general, I decided to β’β’β’β’β’β’"
At this moment, a voice sounded softly: "Childe, let me fight the general." β
β’β’β’β’β’β’
