Chapter 169: The Battle Begins
"Giggles, uncle, please drink another cup of fairy tea? This is the 'Penglai Immortal Brew' from 'Penglai Immortal Island'! "Mo Lijun is beautiful and dignified, and the other six girls are also quiet and elegant at the moment, chatting with the head of the family with a pair or not, who would have thought that their midnight madness?
'Huh?' Penglai Immortal Brew'? Is this a rare 'high-grade spiritual tea'? Known as 'thousands of miles of fragrance', it really deserves its name! The head of You Da was originally anxious, but now in the face of this situation, the beauty fairy tea, even the "stone" has to be melted, but it is a pity that "brothers and wives cannot be bullied"!
"Giggles, uncle, how does this tea taste? Has it helped your cultivation? Cluck. The seventh girl smiled and took turns pouring him tea, and then changed the conversation and said, "I don't know where 'Ling Xian's nephew' was injured on the battlefield?" What kind of poison is the wound? How terrifying can that poison be? ”
"Hey, it's hard to say!" The head of You Da felt depressed in his heart, because whenever the "Three Immortal Island Ring Competition" was about to start, there would be unstable factors of one kind or another in the entire "Liaodong Region", such as the friction between the "Black Dragon Zhenhai Sect" and the "True Immortal Temple" this time was out of control!
However, just when everyone was chatting with each other, Zhou Jun finally finished alchemy, pushed open the stone door with a pale face, and bowed to the head of You embarrassedly and said, "Let the senior brother of the head of the family wait for a long time." Although the younger brother's cultivation is superficial, he finally helped the sect refine the elixir. ”
As soon as the words fell, Zhou Jun waved his sleeves, and suddenly several "stone tables" in the center of the hall were filled with dense small porcelain bottles, estimated not hundreds, but thousands, and all kinds of pills that can quickly restore mana and some "detoxification pills", but they are mainly in the "foundation building period".
"Haha, Senior Brother Zhou is really 'Dan Dao attainment' and stands alone in the world! How long has it been since the sect has been refining all the pills that the sect urgently needs? ”
"Hehe, the senior brother in charge laughed, being able to serve the sect is the obligation of our sect disciples, after all, the sect treats me well!"
"Haha, what the junior brother said is extremely true! Foolish brother has been taught! "The head sect master has no qualifications at all at this moment, because if it weren't for the "Senior Brother Zhou" in front of him, who practiced the pill wildly, then just relying on the female streamers of the "Ethereal Peak", he would not be able to handle such a "big matter" related to the life and death of the sect! ”
"Hehe, the senior brother in charge is serious! The junior brother has only done his best, and I hope that the senior brother can distribute these pills to the battlefield in front as soon as possible, after all, the blood of my 'Changbai Sect' disciple cannot be shed in vain! As soon as the words fell, Zhou Jun motioned with his eyes to the women to come forward to help.
"Uh...... The junior brother reminds us! Doing our best for the sect is the duty of my generation of 'Diepu monks'. You and I are duty-bound! The head of You Da originally wanted to be polite to Zhou Jun, but when he remembered that his nephew's life and death were uncertain, he suddenly stopped saying more, and hurriedly took the pill and said goodbye.
After personally sending off the "Master of Youda", Zhou Jun returned to the cave and started chatting with the seventh girl, after all, this matter is too strange.
"I just heard that the battle ahead is tight, and the senior brother in charge hurriedly came to the cave to ask for the elixir, there must be something wrong, right?"
"Giggles, Childe guessed right. As early as a few months ago, the 'True Immortal Sect' and the 'Black Dragon Zhenhai Sect' had a big fight because of some old accounts, but because the 'Black Dragon Zhenhai Sect' had the support of the 'Sea Demon Clan' behind it, they were defeated and retreated, and they have repeatedly asked for help from us and the rest of the 'Liaodong forces'. ”
"Oh? I see! "Zhou Jun has been busy with alchemy recently, and he doesn't pay much attention to the outside affairs, anyway, these seven wives and concubines are dealing with trivial matters such as running errands and miscellaneous errands, and they don't care about the "affairs of the sect", including the "affairs of the cave house", it is completely a "hands-off shopkeeper" style.
Originally, the "Seven Fairies" still wanted to use the name of Zhou Jun to "pull the tiger skin and be the banner" in the sect, but they didn't expect to encounter "troubles", that is, the "Changbai Sect" originally did not want to lend the "Zhou Army" to other sects to help them with alchemy, which led to the "Liaodong forces" detaching from the "Changbai Sect".
As a result, "Nuer Gancheng" and "Duoyanmen" operated in the dark box, and released rumors that "Changbai Sect will not be saved when he sees death, and his virtue is not worthy, and he is no longer qualified to be the 'alliance leader' of all forces in the 'Liaodong region'." At the same time, at the request of the "True Immortal Concept", these two families also invited the foreign "True Demon Sect" to come to help.
However, the "True Demon Sect" deep in the "Mobei Region" is one of the main forces for the "Terran Monks" to contain the "Land Demon Clan" from going south to make trouble. However, the "Longxi Region" close to the "Mobei Region" also has a powerful "Ghost Dao Sect" - "Tianyin Sect", but there is also a "Yin Wind Gate" between the two regions.
Although the "Yin Wind Gate" is only a subordinate force of the "Tianyin Sect", it often covets the "Liaodong Region" in the east and the "Central Plains Region" in the south.
In other words, the "True Demon Sect" is just here to "wave the flag and shout", and has been in a wait-and-see state, after all, it has to guard against the "Tianyin Sect" behind him.
In order to take the opportunity to empty the influence of the "Changbai Sect" as soon as possible, the "Duoyan Gate", especially the "Nuer Gancheng", led more than half of the forces in the gate to rush to the aid after secretly greeting several adjacent "Central Plains forces" such as the "Faxiang Sect", "Xuantian Gate", "Danling Sect", and "Yuling Sect".
Since the "Nuer Gancheng" and the "Duoyanmen" had been deliberately trying to squeeze out the influence of the "Changbai Sect" as much as possible, they were quite well prepared, and each sent two "Yuanying Monks", 100 "Jiedan Monks", 1,000 "Foundation Building Monks" and 10,000 "Qi Refining Monks" to help.
With the arrival of these two "human immortal cultivators" reinforcements, the morale of the "True Immortal Concept" side really increased greatly, and after several battles with the "Black Dragon Zhenhai Sect" monk army dominated by "Terran Demon Cultivators", they finally completely defeated the opponent's main force and drove it out of the land, and retreated to the "overseas cultivation" lair.
At the same time, the various "Terran Demon Cultivators" distributed in the "Hokkaido" of "Sakhalin Island", "Kuril Islands", and "Fuso Islands", with various "Krakens" as "totem worship", began to form a huge "Demon Cultivator Army" to reinforce the "Black Dragon Zhenhai Sect", and defeated the three sects!
It was only at this time that the "Xiuzhen Forces" of the "Liaodong Region" understood that their real opponent was the "Sea Demon Clan" and not the "Changbai Sect" of the "Same Body and Branch". However, the "Changbai Sect", as the largest "Immortal Cultivation Sect" in the "Eastern Liaodong Region", still has to be on guard against the threat from the "Fusang Islands" at all times.
Despite this, the "Changbai Sect" still provided a lot of assistance to the "Liaodong Coalition Army" of the "True Immortal Temple" without sending troops to the battle, including "Spirit Stones", "Pills", "Magic Weapons", "Runes", etc., but it was only limited to the "Foundation Building Period" and "Qi Refining Period" levels, after all, they had to do what they could!
But even so, the "Liaodong Coalition Army", including the "scattered cultivation forces" recruited in large quantities with "high salaries" and "promises", is still not the opponent of the "Demon Cultivation Alliance", because the "human monks" who are mainly natives under the rule of the "Black Dragon Zhenhai Sect" will be violent and bloodthirsty for a long time, and their combat power will soar!
As a result, the "True Immortal Temple", "Duoyanmen" and "Nuer Gancheng" had no choice but to jointly put pressure on the "Changbai Sect" and publicly shouted: If the "Changbai Sect" does not actively send troops to participate in the war, then they will take the initiative to seek foreign forces to participate in the war, and at that time, the "Changbai Sect" will be in a dilemma!
As a result, the "Changbai Sect" had to recruit troops to participate in the war, and sent about half of the "armed forces" of the sect, including four "Yuanying Monks", 200 "Jiedan Monks", 2,000 "Foundation Building Monks", and 20,000 "Qi Refining Disciples"! That's a huge scale!
In fact, the "main force" of this battle is still the "Jiedan Monk" and the "Foundation Building Monk", while the "Qi Refining Period Disciple" is usually only suitable for "saving the dead and helping the wounded" and "cleaning the battlefield". The "Yuanying Monk" mainly went there to "suppress the field", after all, as long as the "Divine Cultivators" on both sides did not participate in the war, the sect would not be easily destroyed!
However, if the "Sea Demon Clan" and the "Land Demon Clan" unite to attack the "Liaodong factions", then a "Void Refining Void Stage" loose cultivator "Taishang Keqing Elder" - "Loose Scattered People" hired by each faction will take appropriate action to prevent the other party from also appearing "Old Monsters in the Refining Period" to bully the small.
However, the essence of the "sect war" is to "grab territory", if the high-end combat power between the two sides balances each other, then it can only be demonstrated through the "mutual attrition" between the middle and low-end combat power, and if you can't hold on, you have to retreat. Therefore, the two sides agreed to a duel on the "whale sea".
The "Whale Sea" is also called the "Sea of Japan" or the "East China Sea", because the indigenous people who live in the "Liaodong region" are accustomed to call it "Whale Sea", after all, this sea is often infested with huge "whales"; Those who live on the "Korean Peninsula" call it the "East Sea"; However, the "indigenous people of the Fuso Islands" call it the "Sea of Japan".
Fighting on the surface of the sea is not much of a problem for the "Tsukiji Monks" who rely on flying with "magic weapons", as long as they do not stay in the air for a long time. And the "Jiedan Monk" who can rely on the "Jindan Vision" to "fly in the sky" does not have to worry about consuming mana, unless they are besieged by a strong enemy.
Therefore, the "top leaders" of the two "belligerents" have long agreed to use the pattern of "one small fight in three days, one medium strike in five days, and one big fight in 10 days" to consume each other's "war potential." As a result, the "Qi Refining Period" and "Foundation Building Period" monks on the side of the "Liaodong Coalition Army" suffered great losses, but the "Jiedan Monks" suffered fewer losses.
In this way, in order to avoid falling into a long-term "war of attrition" and dragging down the sect, the high-level of the "Changbai Sect" has the idea of coercing the two sides to fight a decisive battle as soon as possible.
If that time really comes, then the "immortal cultivation forces" such as the "Central Plains Region", "Mobei Region", and "Lingnan Region" will not sit idly by, not to mention that the "Three Immortal Island Ring Competition" five years later is the top priority! When the time comes, whether it is a human or a demon, let's consume it together, and see who dies first?
"Childe, what should we do now?" The Deacon's Hall issued a 'mission', asking us to send at least 100 'Foundation Building Monks' to our 'Ethereal Peak' to participate in the war, and the concubine sisters also came from the 'Ethereal Peak'. However, the other six sisters were not recruited because they came from the 'outer gate' and did not apprentice under the 'ethereal peak'. ”
"Don't worry, I'll help you settle it." Zhou Jun took out a transmission note with a smile, activated it, said a few words into it and threw it away, but it automatically flew away as a flash of fire, and flew into the "Great Hall" in a moment, just when it was caught by the "Master of You".
At this moment, it was the "Great Hall Meeting", and the "Chief Stewards" of each peak and hall and the remaining "Inner Gate Elders" gathered together to discuss the "Second Mobilization Order" issued by the "Elders' House".
"Please remove my wife and concubine from the 'Ethereal Peak' recruitment list, Senior Brother Zhou Jun is grateful!" The voice came out, and the audience was in an uproar!
