Chapter 547: Cutting Friendship (3)
Wuxiang Valley, Cheng Ling and Liu Qingyan are in full swing of preparations. Half a year has passed, and according to estimates, the rescue monks of the Ouyang family are about to set off.
This ambush is of great significance, if the ambush is successful, it will be able to disrupt all the arrangements of the Ouyang family. The Ouyang family's deterrent effect on the south has been greatly weakened, and large, medium, and small forces will take advantage of the situation to compete for the ownership of resources in the south.
For this reason, Cheng Ling specially transmitted the news to Feng Yanzong. Feng Feifei was very generous, sending five Mahayana elders and thousands of monks to participate in the ambush battle.
The rest is the strength of the Wuxiang Valley itself, and in half a year, the number of Zilongwei has increased to three hundred, which is already the extreme combat power that the disciples of the Wuxiang Sword Sect and the Zhou family can come up with. Among the three hundred Purple Dragon Guards, the number of Merge Stage Monks increased to one hundred and fifty, and the rest were all in the Distraction Period.
When the preparation is ready, the most important thing is to have the information of the other party. Li Qing of the five branches of the Zhiyin Hall was born in the Ouyang family and was more familiar with the Ouyang family, so he was in charge of the intelligence work of the southern branch.
After receiving Cheng Ling's summons, he hurriedly rushed over and reported: "Sect Master, there has been a trend of gathering a large number of monks from the Ouyang family recently, and many monks who were originally searching for our traces in the south have been dispatched to our own family. ”
"Oh, how many people are there?"
"There are at least 30,000 people looking at the movement, I heard that it is led by the elders of the Mahayana period, Ouyang Lin and Ouyang Shan, and it is unknown whether the rest of the elders will participate in the war!"
"What kind of strength is it?"
"In the middle of Ouyang Lin's Mahayana, in the early stage of Ouyang Shan's Mahayana, there were ten monks in the same monks, and more than 300 monks in the merger period, and the momentum was very huge. ”
Cheng Ling was shocked and asked, "How much do you know about the Ouyang family?"
"Sect Master, my subordinates have lived in the Ouyang family since they were children, and they go to the Ouyang family every year, so they still know them well. ”
"Then do you know the specific strength of the Ouyang family?"
"As far as his subordinates know, there are about ten monks in the Mahayana period of the Ouyang family, more than 30 in the Tribulation Period, 1,000 monks in the Merge Period, about 10,000 monks in the Distraction Period, more than 100,000 in the Transformation Period, and the rest are monks below the Transformation Stage. ”
"How many children does the Ouyang family have?"
"There are probably more than 500,000 descendants of the family, and counting other dependent forces such as the four major families and the three major sects, there are at least 15 million. However, the four major families have been wiped out by the sect master, and now there should be less than 10 million left. ”
Cheng Ling gasped, although it was said that there were the least monks in the southern region, but he really didn't expect that there would be more than 10,000 monks in the Ouyang family alone. Relatively speaking, with the addition of the Zhou family to the Wuxiang Sword Sect, all the monks are only more than one million.
This is not counting the gap between the combat power of the two, the Phaseless Sword Sect wants to swallow the great dragon of the Ouyang family, it is by no means something that can be done simply. Fortunately, he himself planned to fight a protracted war, thinking about destroying the opponent's living force step by step, and only then did he launch a fatal blow in the end!
He was once again glad that he had been cautious before, leaving the three major sects behind, and uniting with the Fengyan Sect would involve most of the Ouyang family's strength.
Another gratifying point is the establishment of the Bosom Friend Hall, in the past, there was only a vague concept of the enemy's situation, how could there be a special intelligence agency like now, and the movements of the Ouyang family were clearly inquired.
He applauded, "You're doing a great job, keep watching, and report back as soon as they make a move!"
"Yes!" Li Qing agreed, and left.
Cheng Ling fell into contemplation, the number of monks in between
Almost ten times more. On this trip, we must set up a net to wipe out all these monks!
Just as he was hesitating, the disciple came to report that the evil wind had returned!
Cheng Ling was overjoyed, he was worried that the high-end combat power in his hands was not enough, and he didn't expect the evil wind to come back. Hurriedly got up and went out.
As soon as he came out, he saw Evil Wind and Zhang Xiyan. The latter was full of joy when he saw him, and said, "Brother Cheng, you are really here! What about Sister Jingwen? Why didn't she come out?"
Cheng Ling's face darkened, and he said, "Xiyan, your sister Jingwen has soared back to the fairy world!"
"Ahh
Cheng Ling didn't want to talk to her about Yun Jingwen, so she opened the topic and asked Evil Wind: "Brother Evil Wind, I didn't expect you to find it, what is the situation?"
Evil Wind showed a wry smile on his face, glanced at Zhang Xiyan, and glanced at him again.
Cheng Ling understood in seconds, and said: "Xiyan, this is the Phaseless Valley, the environment is very beautiful, and the aura concentration is also good. You can look around in the valley, I'll let the disciple accompany you, and I'll talk to you later, okay?"
Zhang Xiyan nodded in agreement, and Cheng Ling asked her disciple to let someone take her around.
The two sat down separately, and Evil Wind sighed and said, "Brother Cheng, the person has indeed been found, and she also has a Qilin Essence Fire on her. ”
Cheng Ling wondered and asked, "In that case, why is Brother Evil Wind worried?"
Evil Wind sighed: "It's a pity that I'm late, after so many years, she has refined the Qilin Essence Fire, and even the Yuan Shen has fused together. Unless I beat her to the ground and strip the essence fire from the primordial spirit, it will be of my use. ”
Cheng Ling frowned, this is not easy to do. Don't say that Zhang Xiyan has experienced life and death with him, so he rushed to Yun Jingwen's face, and he couldn't do it himself.
After a little silence, he asked, "Is there no other way?"
"Yes!" Evil Wind said with a wry smile, "The first method is for her and me to become a Taoist couple, and to cultivate as husband and wife, so that the energy in the Qilin Essence Fire can be stimulated. But since Yun'er died, I vowed never to involve feelings again, that feeling was too painful!"
Cheng Ling didn't expect him to be so affectionate, and at the same time he was pleased with the changes now. If it weren't for Liu Yun and himself to get along with him for so many years, with the heart of the Demon Blood Continent back then, Zhang Xiyan would have been beaten to ashes and occupied the Qilin Essence Fire.
"Is there another way?"
"Yes, the second method, the power of the Qilin's fire origin is gathered in three places, the first place is the essence fire, and the remaining two places are its two eyeballs, as long as the missing eyeballs of the Qilin are found and refined, the heart fire can be forcibly sucked out. ”
Cheng Ling smiled bitterly, this method is more difficult. Since the beginning of chaos, the four great divine beasts and the four great spirit beasts have been fighting one after another, and the eyeballs of the unicorn have long been gone, and it is not easy to find them.
Evil Wind said again: "And the heart fire is not safe in her body, I heard Brother Cheng say that she only had the cultivation in the early stage of the transformation of the gods, and in such a short period of time, she was promoted to the distraction stage, presumably refining some of the energy in the heart fire." ”
"But the heart fire energy is so huge, the qilin is the body of a spirit beast, and the physical body is extremely powerful. And she is just a **mortal fetus, in the long run, as the energy refining deepens, although she can increase her cultivation, but one day she will not be able to control the violent heart fire energy will be completely exploded!"
Cheng Ling was startled and asked, "Is there a solution?"
Evil Wind smiled bitterly and shook his head!
Cheng Ling was speechless, so it seems that this heart fire is like a time bomb in Zhang Xiyan's body, I don't know when it will detonate, the situation is too dangerous.
Evil Wind looked at him and frowned, and comforted: "Brother Cheng, don't worry too much, although this situation exists, it is not something that can be achieved in the short term, fortunately, she does not have much refining energy, and we still have time to think of other ways." ”
Cheng Ling had no choice but to put this matter aside for the time being, and said: "That's it, life and death are fate, wealth is in the sky, I hope she has such a chance! By the way, Brother Evil Wind, this time we came back in a timely manner, and we are planning to make a move against the Ouyang family!"
Evil Wind perked up and asked, "Really, when exactly?"
Cheng Ling told him the news he got one by one. After finishing, he said: "The most important thing now is that the number of monks is too different, I have arranged for the disciples of the Wuxiang Sword Sect to come to the Wuxiang Valley in large numbers, and when we act there, we will take the opportunity to launch an ambush." ”
Evil Wind finally lifted up his spirit and said, "Okay, then I'll make some preparations first and wait for Brother Cheng's news." ”
With that, he left.
Both parties were in intense preparations, and after a few days, Cheng Ling was watching the refining of the purple dragon armor in the instrument hall, and a disciple came to report that Zhou Changtian was here.
When he came to the conference hall, he saw Zhou Changtian walking around the hall anxiously, looking at a loss.
Cheng Ling sat down and asked in surprise, "Master Zhou, what is so irritable?"
Zhou Changtian said: "Your Excellency, the people of the Ouyang family are here again. It's their Eighth Elder who is here this time, Ouyang Tian!"
"Oh?" Cheng Ling's heart moved, Ouyang Tian was an old acquaintance, and he didn't expect to hear from him so soon. He asked, "What did he say?"
"As before, I hope that our Zhou family will be under the disciples of the Ouyang family. Of course, the Ouyang family will provide shelter for the Zhou family, help us become one of the few forces in the south, and take charge of the vacant resources and mines of the Liu family and the Xiao family. ”
"Hmph! It's wishful thinking, what conditions do they have?"
"The condition is that more than seventy percent of the resources of the two major families must be paid every year!"
"It's really dark enough! In this way, Zhou family master, don't be in a hurry to refuse. You just tell Ouyang Tian that seventy percent of the resources are up for discussion, can you reduce them a little, try to drag him down, and at the same time speed up the sales of finished products in Xiangcheng, and I will also supervise the Dan Fu Array Instrument Sitang. ”
Zhou Changtian hesitated for a moment and said, "What if they can't bear it?"
Cheng Ling smiled and said, "Don't worry, it won't take much time, as long as the monks who received the support of the Ouyang family for the three major sects are all wiped out, I think they naturally don't have the heart to pay attention to the transactions in Xiangcheng." Go, don't be so groveling, now that people have something to ask for from the Zhou family, you can raise your price appropriately!"
Zhou Changtian suddenly woke up and hurriedly went.
Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, another ten days passed. Li Qing's news continued to spread back to Wuxiang Valley, and after the tenth day, the definite news finally came. Three days later, the 30,000 monks of the Ouyang family will set off for the Imperial Sword Gate!
Cheng Ling was overjoyed, and hurriedly took several disciples of the formation hall to investigate on the road that must be passed, and finally chose a narrow valley area and began to arrange the formation.
Due to the limited time and the fact that the canyon is very long, it can only set up the next Seven Rank Lost Trace Formation, and set up several hidden places in the canyon, equipped with a large number of bows and crossbows, once the monks of the Ouyang family enter it, it can produce great lethality!
