272 Imprisoning the West Gate to Suspend the Crisis and Kill the Capital to Unify the Disaster and Lead the Water to the East Fourth
In the Linghua Sect's meeting hall, after dealing with Mei Qi's matter, Fang Lin turned his head to look at the other reincarnation realm powerhouses and said, "Now that the Shang Kingdom has been destroyed, this sect gives you two choices, one is to die for the country you were originally loyal to, and the other is to be our soul slave, rest assured, this sect will never treat its own people badly." β
The other six reincarnation realm powerhouses were silent when they heard this, they knew that they had no qualifications to talk about conditions, and to be honest, although the people of the reincarnation realm were important to the current Ling Hua Sect, they were really not a shortage of resources, and after thinking about it for a long time, the six of them all became the soul slaves of Li Haoran and Wen Yue'er.
"I don't know what Fang Zong is going to do with the old two?" In the hall, after all the Shang captives retreated, leaving only Shang Taijun and Meng Changjun, Shang Taijun asked.
Fang Lin didn't answer her words directly, he smiled and told the two of them about the self-reliance of the two domains of the Shang and Meng families, and then asked with a smile: "What does Shang Taijun think this sect should do, you two?" β
Obviously, both of them were shocked by this heavy news, but after all, they were both old monsters in the realm of life and death, and after a while, Shang Taijun smiled and said: "Hehe, it seems that the ability of the Yeyue Empire is really not small, it can actually make the two major families fight back, hehe, Sect Master Fang is wise and world-famous, can't you still see the sinister intentions of the Yeyue Empire?" β
Listening to her words, the people present were unmoved, even Qu Shan'er and Ayinata, who usually liked to twitter the most, did not speak, but Yin Liguang glared at Shang Taijun and the others with vicious eyes, but he did not speak.
Fang Lin smiled and said: "Such a simple plan, how can I not know that Li Xianzong just wants to use this matter to let this sect kill you, in this way, the Shang and Meng families and my Linghua Sect will become enemies who do not share the sky, so I can only use it wholeheartedly for him to oppose this sect." β
"Since Sect Master Fang has already seen the Dao, then why do you want to embarrass the two of us, if you let us go, our two families will definitely be grateful to Dade, even if they don't help your sect in the open, they won't be able to be enemies of your sect in the future." Meng Changjun hugged his fists.
Li Haoran couldn't help but sneer, and sneered: "Are you so easy to fool when we are our sect master, let you go back, hehe, your two families don't have any strong people in the realm of life and death, each of you is a great strength, and since the two of you accepted Li Xianzong's proposal and became independent, you have already embarked on the road of confrontation with me, let you go back, so that you can continue to fight against us and make trouble?" β
Being told that his heart was broken, Meng Changjun's face was a little unbearable, and he was about to open his mouth to explain two sentences, but Fang Lin waved his hand and said: "Actually, this is also the result that this sect wants, because, if there is no grudge, under the suppression of the Yeyue Empire, what excuse does this sect have to take back the two domains, hehe, you won't be so naΓ―ve as to think that this sect is satisfied just by getting the three domains of the Shang Kingdom, hum, the Yeyue Empire thinks that it has made a bird cage for this sect, and it can trap this sect and slowly wear it to death, But how did they know that the sect had already found a way to break the situation. Speaking of this, Fang Lin Senran's eyes swept a glance at Shang Taijun and the others, and slowly spoke: "That's the lives of the two of you!" β

In the Tianxuanling meeting hall, Dongfang Yingqin looked at the stack of materials in his hand, and said to Yang next to him with a smile: "Elder Yang, it seems that the hunting team composed of our sect's disciples has made a very big gain during this time. β
Yang Bu smiled and said: "Those crazy wolf guards of the Yeyue Empire are indeed very strong, and the worst ones are all Taiji Realm, and their equipment and military literacy are very high, but in this Huanhua Wetland, they are like tigers tied up, and there is no threat at all." We've hunted nearly 3,000 people now, hehe, those crazy wolf guards have a bit of a smell of grass and trees. β
Dongfang Yingqin nodded, then turned his attention to another piece of information, and frowned: "The remnants of the South Vietnamese Kingdom are now stationed in a forest in the southwest, and there is no danger there, hmph, they really know how to choose a place." β
Qiu Jinfeng stepped forward and said, "Then should we go and make some trouble for them?" β
Dongfang Yingqin waved his hand and said: "No need, since they are all honestly staying there, then let them stay there, for the time being, our focus is still on the side of the Yeyue Empire, they will definitely not just forget it." β
Speaking of which. Dongfang Yingqin paused and then continued: "Order Qiu Jinlong to form an army as soon as possible, and step up training and familiarize himself with the situation in the Huanhua Wetland, and this army of South Vietnam will be handed over to him in the future." β
Qiu Jinfeng was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said: "Chief Administrator, my younger brother has just joined and has been entrusted with such an important task, I am afraid that other qualified people will not be convinced, and besides, does the Chief Manager believe him so much?" β
Dongfang Yingqin smiled and said: "There is no doubt about employing people, not using suspicious people, not to mention that Qiu Jinlong is a real general, and he shouldn't be idle like this." β
Qiu Jinfeng nodded when he heard this, but he admired the mind of the chief manager even more, and his admiration for Fang Lin improved a lot.
Immediately afterwards, Dongfang Yingqin looked at a document and raised his eyebrows: "Hehe, these ghosts who usually don't dare to come out have jumped out now?" β
When Yang Bu and the others heard this, they were very surprised, and Liu Sangyu opened his mouth and asked, "Chief Manager, what's wrong?" β
"Hehe, some forces that were reluctant to belong to us before now look at us as if they are embattled, so they all jump out one after another, wanting to bite us." Dongfang Yingqin sneered.
Huangfu smiled respectfully, took the information and glanced at it and said: "Anti-Xuanmeng, what is the name of this, is it to work together to fight against my Tianxuanling, hehe, don't you say, there are a few of them with good strength, for example, this Lu family, it is said to be a second-rate family in the Western Regions of the Yeyue Empire, but its strength is not weak, there are two high-level powerhouses in the reincarnation realm, and this Daijiamen, which has been in the Huanhua Wetland for hundreds of years, has been a veteran force in the Huanhua Wetland for hundreds of years, and there are also strong people in the reincarnation realm, However, their range of activities is in the southeast, and now they have united dozens of other small forces to attack us. β
"This is a bit bad, Boss, although the strength of these people is not as good as that of the Mad Wolf Guard, but they are very familiar with this Huanhua Wetland, compared to them, the Mad Wolf Wei is much easier to deal with." Yang Bing also spoke.
Dongfang Yingqin also nodded and said, "Actually, they are not terrible, what is terrible is that if they cooperate with the people of the Yeyue Empire, we will be in big trouble." β
When everyone heard this, they were all shocked, they didn't think of this question before, but now that Dongfang Yingqin mentioned this, everyone suddenly became a little solemn, Qiu Jinfeng raised his head and asked: "Boss, in this case, what should we do, do you want to use strong means to destroy this anti-Xuan Alliance in one fell swoop?" β
Dongfang Yingqin didn't speak, he rubbed his eyebrows with his hand and paced back and forth, obviously, this question gave him a headache, and at this moment, a disciple suddenly ran in and said, "Report, boss, it's not good." We have two hunting teams that have been ambushed by the enemy, and now the situation is very bad, and we just sent a distress letter! β
β’β’β’β’β’β’
In the south of the Huanhua Wetland, a team of warriors is being chased and killed in embarrassment, led by a woman who looks to be in her thirties, with a beautiful face and a good figure, the woman is wearing an emerald green palace dress, which is clean and dusty, but her sideburns are slightly messy, but her face is still calm.
Behind her, followed by eight young disciples of the Yin and Yang Realm, five men and three women, at this time, the clothes on the eight people were a little messy, and one of them had a big cut on his clothes, but the eight of them were still very energetic and showed no signs of injury, and behind the eight people were seven disciples from the Taiji Realm to the Yan Yan Realm, and their situation was not so good. One of the Tai Chi Realm disciples looked very pale, and he was a little limp when he ran, but he gritted his teeth and persevered.
"Sister Shu, let's find a place to rest first, there is no problem with a few of us, but the younger brothers and sisters behind me may not be able to hold on." Gao Yu saw that the people behind him couldn't keep up, so he hurriedly spoke.
"We can't stop, I can feel it, there are several powerful breaths behind us that are chasing us, if we stop, we will most likely be overtaken, and we will not be able to escape then." Dongfang Yingshu said.
A disciple of the Yan Flame Realm spoke: "Senior brother, don't worry, we can still persevere!" β
The most seriously injured Tai Chi Realm disciple also wanted to speak, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was deflated, and he couldn't help but snort in pain, his body went limp, and several people next to him immediately surrounded him and shouted, "Senior brother, are you okay?" β
Gao Yu also hurriedly ran over, took a look at the disciple's injury, and said, "His injury is very serious, he can't run!" β
The disciple heard this. Endured the pain, squeezed out a smile and said: "Senior brothers and sisters, you don't care about me, hurry up, I will never let them catch them alive, hehe, during this time, I will follow you to kill the enemy for the sect and make meritorious contributions, junior brother, I am really happy in my heart, tell other fellow sects, I will always be a disciple of the sect!" β
When Gao Yu heard this, he frowned and reprimanded: "Senior brother Hugh wants to talk nonsense, we will never leave you alone, and you yourself must work hard to survive, because only by living can you contribute more to the sect, and you can see the sect gradually become stronger, do you understand!" β
"But, Senior Brother, I'm β’β’β’β’β’β’ now," the disciple said with a little choked up.
Gao Yu immediately interrupted him and said, "Don't talk nonsense, I'll carry you, and a few of you, I will also carry the injured junior brothers and sisters on my back and go together!" Gao Xuan interrupted him and shouted.
The disciple's tears came out all of a sudden, his lips trembled and he wanted to say something, and the other low-level disciples were also a little at a loss, but Gao Yu opened his mouth and shouted: "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and recover, my Linghua Sect's elixir is wonderful, don't waste it!" β
After that, he directly picked up the disciple, and jumped out to the front when he moved under his feet, and the rest of the people did not hesitate when they saw this, they each picked up one person and followed, Dongfang Yingshu saw this scene, and couldn't help nodding secretly, and said in his heart: "The sect cultivated by the patriarch is really exciting, with such a group of disciples, why worry about the sect not being happy." β
Not long after everyone left, dozens of figures flew over in the distance, all of them were dressed as mad wolf guards, all of them were murderous, and a school captain stopped at the place where the previous Taiji Realm disciple fell, leaned over to check it, and said: "One of them should not be able to hold on, and he fell here, but he was taken away by his accomplices." β
One of the generals said, "In other words, they are carrying at least one burden now, and this will greatly affect the speed of their travel." β
The lieutenant shook his head and said, "One person is not enough to affect their speed, we have to step up our pursuit." After saying that, he looked around again, pointed in one direction, and said, "They're going that way." β
The general waved his hand and shouted: "Chase, we must catch them no matter what, otherwise we won't be able to explain to the general when we go back!" β
β’β’β’β’β’β’
In a nameless valley in the middle of the Huanhua Wetland, thirteen embarrassed people were hiding in one of the smaller caves, the cave was very dark, even if they were all martial artists who were not weak in cultivation, but here they could only vaguely see the vague figures of their companions close at hand.
One of them took out a moonstone, and the soft light lit up the entire cave, this group of people was the disciples of Ling Hua Sect's hunting team, he was about to enter the mountain wall above his head, when a hand suddenly stretched out next to him to cover the moonstone, and then shouted in a low voice: "Put it away quickly, there can't be any light revealed!" β
The disciple was stunned for a moment, and then he also reacted, lighting the lights in this environment, isn't that clearly telling the enemy where he and the others are, the disciple said sorry softly, and then put the moonstone away.
Then, the person who reached out to cover the moonstone from earlier spoke softly: "Everyone, now that we have fallen for the tricks of the Mad Wolf Guard, although this cave can temporarily keep them from us, but as long as they stay outside, we still have to go out, so what we need to do now is to recover as soon as possible, and then kill the enemy as much as possible!" β
At this time, a woman's voice sounded: "Uncle Longxing, why don't we ask the other teams for help, after all, there are only a few dozen people chasing us, and there are only two strong people in the Nai He Realm, if the other hunting teams only need one, we will have enough strength to deal with them." β
At this time, another slightly green male voice also sounded: "Yes, Uncle Longxing, as long as we can drag them down as masters of the Nai He realm, the other people are not our opponents at all, hmph, in the same realm, I can beat the five of them alone!" β
As soon as these words came out, there was a low echo in the field, and Dongfang Longxing sighed and said: "You think too simply, just imagine, how much effort did the Mad Wolf Guard spend to lay such a trap in order to capture us, and finally we were fooled, how could they only send such a few people to hunt us down, if it is to dispatch the powerhouse of the Reincarnation Realm, is it possible for us to escape?" β
As soon as these words came out, the audience immediately fell silent, as elite disciples carefully cultivated by Ling Hua Sect, they were not stupid, they were silent for a moment, and the woman said, "Senior Uncle Longxing, are you saying that this is the enemy's plan to capture and indulge?" β
Another young man's voice sounded: "It should be right, they want to use us as bait to fish out our hunting team, and even the division commanders of Tianxuanling." Speaking of this, he paused, his voice changed a little, and said, "However, we have already sent a signal for help to Tianxuanling before, so if we say it, wouldn't we β’β’β’β’β’β’?"
He didn't dare to say any more, at this time, Dongfang Longxing's voice sounded: "Hehe, don't worry about this, if they want to eat our Tianxuanling division commanders, they are looking for death, and besides, your Uncle Yingqin is not stupid, look at it, it will make them suffer a big loss." β
When everyone heard this, their hearts were relieved, and the young man from before was obviously relieved and said, "Fortunately, if we hurt all the teachers because of our stupidity, we will be to blame." β
There was immediately a voice of approval in the field, and at this time, the woman from before spoke: "Uncle Longxing, in fact, with your strength, if you don't take care of us, you can completely get rid of those pursuers, so I think you don't have to care about us anymore, let's escape first." β
As soon as these words came out, they immediately got a voice of approval, but Dongfang Longxing smiled and said: "Don't forget, I'm your team leader, so there is a reason for the team leader to leave his team members and run away alone?" At least, there is no such tradition in my Linghua Sect, right? β
When everyone heard this, they all fell silent, they remembered what the disciples of the Linghua Sect said to everyone after returning from the Northern Kingdom, even the sect master had never discarded his team members in that kind of ambush on all sides and the rumors were loud, he Linghua Sect really did not have such a tradition, for a while, there was silence in the cave.
At this moment, a huge explosion suddenly came from outside, and everyone could hear that the sound was still some distance away from the cave where they were, but through the long tunnel, it could still make everyone's eardrums buzz.
"Haha, the little miscellaneous fish in Tianxuanling, you can't hide, let's come out obediently, as long as you cooperate, General Ben promised you that he would treat you well and never let you suffer, well, maybe, if you want to make meritorious contributions, there are still high-ranking officials waiting for you. If not, when this general catches you, he will definitely make you cramp and taste the torture of the world! An arrogant voice poured into Zhenyuan and shouted.
Hearing this voice, some people's bodies in the cave suddenly began to tremble slightly, and seeing that someone was about to stand up and rush out, Dongfang Longxing immediately shouted: "Give me a little calm, although this valley is not big, but there are many caves, they don't know our location at all, at this time, we are provoking ourselves to appear, leave him alone, let's hurry up and recover!" β
After waiting for a while, the arrogant voice sounded again: "Haha, the little miscellaneous fish in Tianxuanling, you don't know yet, you already have a team of people who have fallen into our hands, and it is they who tell us your location and plan, so we can find you so easily, so you don't have to have any luck anymore, obediently, come out, we imperial soldiers, don't abuse prisoners." β
Hearing these words, the people in the cave all sneered disdainfully, and then they didn't pay attention to it, and after a while, the people outside seemed to have lost their patience, and said: "Hmph, if you don't come out, every quarter of an hour, I will kill one person in that team until you come out, or they are all killed, now, I have dozens of numbers, if you don't come out, I will kill the first person, ten~~!" β
When the people in the cave heard this, a few people couldn't sit still, but they were quickly pressed down by the people next to them, and the young man said: "What he said is inconsistent, it's a lie at all, besides, if our people are really captured alive by them, it's too late for them to be treasures, how can they kill them so easily, use their brains!" β
The impulsive people from before immediately fell silent, and at this moment, there was a "one" outside, and then the arrogant voice was heard shouting fiercely: "Kill! Immediately after, there was a terrible scream.
β’β’β’β’β’β’
Yucheng, the capital of the Eastern Regions of the Shang Kingdom, at this time the Eastern Regions has been renamed Rongguo, and the emperor is Shang Rong, and the merchants quickly subdued the Demon Heaven Sect and other large and small family forces with the support of Li Xianzong, and achieved unification in a short period of time.
"Something to start, nothing to retreat!" On the Jinluan Palace, which was rebuilt from the original domain lord council hall, an attendant screamed.
An official in a big red official robe walked out and said, "The minister has something to do!" β
"Huang Aiqing, please speak." Shang Rong said lightly.
"The envoy we sent to the Linghua Sect has returned." The official surnamed Huang said.
"Oh!" Shang Rong's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he hurriedly said, "How?" β
The official surnamed Huang sighed and said, "Ling Huazong replied that the old lady had already been killed by them. β
When Shang Rong heard this, he stood up and said, "They are clearly talking nonsense, the old lady's life is still intact in the ancestral hall, how could she be killed, didn't Ling Huazong even listen to our conditions?" β
Another minister stepped out and said, "Your Majesty, this is obvious, Ling Huazong is not willing to hand over the old lady at all. β
When Shang Rong heard this, he calmed down instantly, sat back on the dragon chair, and understood the truth after a little thought, but as an emperor, he was good at asking why, so he asked: "Why is this, isn't the conditions we give generous enough, you know, the current Linghua Sect seems to be infinitely beautiful, but in fact, it is internal and external troubles." β
The minister replied, "There is no doubt that Ling Huazong already knows about the Yeyue Empire's support for us, and they will definitely not fail to see such a cage policy, so we have been enemies from the beginning. β
Speaking of which. He paused and continued: "And the strength of the old lady is among the best in the entire Shang country, if the old lady is put back for a little ransom, this will undoubtedly add a strong opponent to Ling Huazong, and on the contrary, they will have one less strong enemy, with Fang Lin's wisdom, how to choose, he will definitely be clear." β
Shang Rong was silent when he heard this, he knew very well in his heart that what this minister said was correct, if he was Fang Lin, he would choose the same way to deal with it, and after a long time, he spoke: "But the meaning of the old lady to our country, I don't want to say that you are also very clear, with her old man's presence, we have more power to protect ourselves, hey." β
Although this sentence is not explicitly stated, everyone knows that redeeming Shang Taijun is imperative for the current Rongguo, because with her, Rongguo is not just as simple as having one more strong person in the realm of life and death, but Shang Taijun has a great hope of breaking through the realm of life and death within ten years, and at this level, it can be said that he can protect a country.
While everyone was silent, another official came out and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has an idea, I don't know if it can be useful." β
Shang Rong's eyes lit up when he heard this, this person was a squire of the military department, in charge of national intelligence, and he had always been resourceful, so he immediately asked, "What is Su Aiqing's opinion?" β
Su Shilang immediately said: "Since Ling Huazong didn't kill the old lady at the beginning, then he won't kill it now, at least not so quickly, the minister estimates that they want to keep the old lady as a constraint, so that no matter what plan we have against Ling Huazong in the future, we will throw a mouse, but this also gives us a chance." β
"What a chance, you should say it quickly, I'm in a hurry." Shang Rong hadn't opened his mouth yet, but a big man who looked like a general spoke eagerly.
Shang Rong's face suddenly sank, and he shouted: "Shang Long, shut up!" Then he nodded to Su Shilang and motioned for him to continue.
"With our current strength, we really can't do anything to Ling Hua Sect, and we even have to worry about them attacking us, but the people behind us can make Ling Hua Sect jealous, as long as he speaks, does Ling Hua Sect dare not hand over people?" Su Shilang said confidently.
When the ministers above the court heard this, their eyes lit up, but the official surnamed Huang frowned and said, "How can His Majesty the Emperor of the Yeyue Empire personally take care of such a trivial matter as our two families, you must know that the old lady is very important to us, but for a behemoth like the Yeyue Empire, it is insignificant." β
Su Shilang smiled and said: "His Majesty the Emperor of the Yeyue Empire will definitely not care about our affairs, but don't go, there is a generalissimo on our side, in a sense, his words are equivalent to the words of the Yeyue Emperor." β
When the prime minister heard this, his eyes lit up, and he said: "That's right, Generalissimo Li Xianzong's status in the Yeyue Empire is equivalent to one person and above ten thousand, if he speaks, even if Ling Huazong is ten thousand unwilling, he has to let it go, at least he has to negotiate terms with us, otherwise, they can't afford to wear a big hat that defies the empire." β
At this time, another official showed a worried expression and said: "If we persecute Ling Huazong like this, will they jump over the wall in a hurry and kill the old lady without doing anything?" β
Everyone was silent when they heard this, although they all felt that this possibility was very small, but no one dared to come out to vouch, and in the end, Shang Rong spoke: "What Aiqing said is reasonable, in order to prevent Linghuazong's dogs from jumping off the wall in a hurry, we must be prepared with two hands, first, and then send a shrewd and capable messenger to Linghuazong to negotiate with them, but the purpose is to stabilize them and prevent them from having the opportunity to jump off the wall, and second, I will personally repair a letter to Generalissimo Li Xianzong to state the reason, Ask him to send an envoy to put pressure on Ling Hua Zong! β
