|||->-> The actions of the Ouyang family were overwhelming, and the mining resources left by the Xiao family, the Liu family, the Cheng family, and the Ouyang family were occupied one after another, and the other three major sects seemed to have obtained some kind of permission, and they no longer competed with each other, and distributed the remaining resources equally.

In the past year, the Ouyang family has not been able to search for the whereabouts of that mysterious force, and gradually began to lose patience, and united with the remaining three major sects to clean up the small forces in the southern region.

Forcing those forces to join the Ouyang family or the three major sects, otherwise, it will be the end of the sect. This simple and crude method exposed the evil face of the Ouyang family. But helplessly, those small forces were not their opponents at all, so they could only surrender one after another.

Because the battlefields of several plunders were near Xiangcheng, the people of the Ouyang family also learned to be smart. Starting from Xiangcheng thousands of miles to the east, it gradually swept westward, and in more than a year, it gradually approached the Tongyou Valley where the Zhou family was located.

Zhou Changtian was so anxious that he hurriedly asked to see Cheng Ling and told the truth about the matter.

Cheng Ling stayed in the Wuxiang Valley, and the actions of the Ouyang family had already been heard, but unfortunately he was not very clear about the specific distribution of the strength of the major families, and he only knew a rough idea. Without accurate sources of intelligence, they simply do not dare to act rashly.

In desperation, he could only instruct Zhou Changtian again to prohibit the disciples of Guzhong from going out without authorization, and on his side, he called the high-level officials of the Wuxiang Sword Sect and the Famous Sword Academy to hold a closed-door meeting.

The Sword Wuya brothers came from the Famous Sword Academy, plus a sword hero, as for Jian Fengshuang, he has never been interested in this kind of meeting, and he has just recovered from his injuries and is still in retreat, so he did not attend.

Cheng Ling first told everyone the information he had collected, and finally said: "This is the latest news, unfortunately how many people the Ouyang family has dispatched, and what kind of strength the remaining three major sects are, we don't know, now I want to discuss with you how to act in the future." ”

Jian Wuya said: "Let's not talk about him for the time being of the three major sects, although he far surpasses us in terms of the number of disciples, but the high-end combat power is almost the same. The main thing is the Ouyang family, how many Mahayana monks they have, this is unanswered. ”

Cheng Ling nodded and said, "Uncle Shi is right, if they don't have many Mahayana monks, we can still try our best to maneuver, what we are most afraid of is to dispatch the late Mahayana monks, then we can't resist it." ”

"At present, our resources can support the cultivation of the monks in the valley for a long time, but it is not a way to keep cowering in the valley, we must go out and break the blockade of the Ouyang family, so that we can take the initiative. ”

Jian Yinghao's lips squirmed, and finally he couldn't help but say: "Maybe we can contact Feng Yanzong, if we can get their help, as long as we involve the Mahayana monks of the Ouyang family, we can let go of our hands and feet." ”

Cheng Ling smiled and teased: "Brother Jian's idea is good, just to see if Miss Feng Yanran is still imprisoned in the sect." ”

Jian Yinghao blushed, unable to speak.

Jian Lao Dao laughed and said: "Yinghao, it's not a big deal, Feng Yanran has saved you many times, and with the identity of the core disciple of Feng Yan Sect, becoming a Taoist couple is not an insult to you, what is there to be embarrassed about." ”

The crowd burst into laughter.

Cheng Ling waited for everyone to laugh, then frowned and said, "What Brother Sword said is a method, but I also said before that Feng Yanzong does not welcome outsiders

Monk, I'm afraid that I won't get the desired effect if I go there rashly. For the time being, we still have to base ourselves on ourselves and find a way to break through the blockade. ”

Liu Qingyan asked, "What are you going to do?"

"It's very simple, isn't the Ouyang family searching for that mysterious power? I don't believe that the sphere of influence left by the four great families is so huge, that there are Mahayana monks in every territory. ”

"As long as we find the right moment, take the opportunity to break out of the encirclement, and then launch a few attacks on the periphery, we can disrupt their positions and take care of one at the expense of the other. Of course, it is also important to find the direction of the attack, that is, to cause interference, and to be able to retreat with all your body!"

Everyone nodded silently, feeling that what he said made sense, and Jian Wuya asked, "How many people are you going to take with you?"

Cheng Ling pondered for a moment and said: "In the Wuxiang Valley, Qingyan stayed behind, the two uncles and the master also stayed here, and the rest of the people all went, plus the disciples of the Battle Hall, so more than a hundred people are enough." ”

Jian Lao Dao frowned and said, "Is the number of people a little less?"

"The soldiers are not expensive, and the initiative to attack here is to fight quickly, and once you encounter the monks of the Mahayana period of the Ouyang family, you can also retreat quickly. In this way, it will not be effective for disciples below the merger period to go, it is better to concentrate on cultivation in the valley. ”

Everyone discussed for a while, but they couldn't find a better way, so they could only agree.

The next day, Cheng Ling secretly left Wuxiang Valley with more than 100 disciples. The first goal of this trip is to jump out of the blockade circle of the Ouyang family, Jian Yinghao has been wandering in the south for several years, and he knows the situation in the mountains better, and he keeps guiding the direction along the way.

Along the way, they hid their figures, and basically walked through the mountains and mountains, Cheng Ling's cultivation was the highest, and his divine sense covered the widest, so he naturally took on the duty of vigilance.

The group walked for two days, and Jian Yinghao led everyone to the north first, and made a big circle before turning back to the south, just skipping the first wave of interception of the Ouyang family and coming to a mine.

Cheng Ling, Jian Yinghao, and Evil Wind were hidden on the top of the mountain, watching the monks coming and going down the mountain constantly busy, and there were hundreds of vigilant monks around, looking like disciples of the Imperial Sword Gate, who were busy collecting ores.

Jian Yinghao explained: "The mine here originally belonged to the Cheng family, and the most important material was copper refinement, and the refining tools only required a large amount, and the quality was very high. ”

The evil wind divine sense swept away, and said: "There are about a thousand people below, there are hundreds of people in the cave, and the highest cultivation is in the early stage of the tribulation, Brother Cheng, do you want to do it?"

Cheng Ling's mind was racing sharply, since he was a rogue, he had to plunder everywhere and come and go without a trace, so as to make them dizzy. Thinking of this, he said categorically: "Kill!"

At the sound of an order, more than 100 monks rushed down in an instant, and the monks on the alert scene quickly noticed that something was wrong and came up one after another, and some even released arrows into the sky, summoning the monks in the sect to support.

It's a pity that their cultivation is too different from Cheng Ling and the others, and more than 100 people were killed in just one face. Those monks were shocked, and only then did they find that the other party's cultivation was at least in the merger period, and where could they still take care of protecting the mine, and they fled one by one.

The monks who were mining outside ran away, but the monks in the cave had nowhere to run. Cheng Ling led everyone into it, but it was just tea time, and the monks who stayed in the cave were killed

Empty. As for whether there are hidden monks, I don't care so much.

Cheng Ling returned to the outside of the mine, and with a sweep of his senses, he found the treasury where the copper essence was stored, and reached out to make a few moves, and the door of the treasury was opened. I didn't have time to observe the number of copper essences, so with a wave of my right hand, they were all included in the storage ring.

"Clean up the battlefield and evacuate quickly!"

He ordered to go down, and the disciples of the Battle Hall were already experienced, and in less than a moment, they had put away all the storage rings of those monks.

"Let's go!"

With a low shout, he disappeared into the mine with more than a hundred monks in an instant, leaving only corpses and collapsed ore veins.

Jian Yinghao came to his side and asked, "Brother Cheng, which way should we go next?"

Cheng Ling groaned for a moment and said, "In which direction were you hiding?"

"South!"

"Then march towards the south, after the battle just now, the people of the Imperial Sword Gate will soon react, they will rush from the east, the people of the Ouyang family will encircle and suppress from the west, and the rest of the south should be safe. ”

Jian Yinghao nodded, and led everyone to the south. Along the way, they encountered several groups of monks who intercepted them, and they were all killed one by one.

Cheng Ling frowned, through these intercepted monks, he felt a trace of unease, could it be that the place where Jian Yinghao and the others were hiding before was discovered by the Ouyang family?

Just as he was about to ask Jian Yinghao, his divine sense swept over, and he felt that there were monks coming from all directions. His face changed drastically, and he said, "It's not good, it's a trap, I was careless, I didn't expect them to put such a big bait here." ”

Evil Wind and Sword Hero were startled and asked, "What's the matter?"

Cheng Ling's face was gloomy, and he said: "That mine is simply a bait, just trying to let us make a move so that we can grasp the specific whereabouts, and now there are monks rushing over all around, and we are surrounded!"

Jian Yinghao's face sank, and he said, "Kill it!"

"I feel that there are Mahayana monks in all directions, so I can only gamble, everyone gathers together, and follows me to the south to break through!"

As soon as the words fell, his figure flashed sharply, and he rushed towards the south first, followed by Jian Yinghao and the others. Flying less than a cup of tea, a large group of black monks appeared in front of them, and there were thousands of people.

Cheng Ling's divine sense swept over, his face changed, and he said: "One Mahayana mid-stage, three Mahayana early-stage, I will resist the mid-Mahayana period, and the rest will be handed over to you!"

After speaking, without waiting for the opposing monk to rush in front of him, he walked with the sword, and killed the mid-Mahayana monk in the middle of the Mahayana with one move.

Jian Yinghao and Evil Wind glanced at each other, and each greeted a Mahayana early stage. Zhang Hu, Song Yingjie, Bai Suzhen, and Xiao Changtian were the last Mahayana in the early stage.

"Kill!" The remaining hundred Zhantang disciples, under the leadership of Wu Chenlong, let out a shout in unison, and stabbed into the thousand monks who surrounded them.

The monk in the middle of the Mahayana period saw that Cheng Ling actually came alone, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he dared to take the lead in attacking, and it seemed that he was impatient. But soon, he sensed something was wrong.

Cheng Ling's swordsmanship was very exquisite, and when the sword qi attacked, the spatial fluctuations generated were extremely strong, and the speed was extremely fast, and dozens of sword lights shot out in an instant. He felt a pang in his heart, this monk who had completed the tribulation was not simple, when did such a figure appear in the southern region?
