Chapter 233: Choosing the Right Time to Respond

"Huh?"

Jiang Feng was taken aback, her small actions in the deserted city were really seen through by the shrewd Yu Xiaoman, although she did not expose herself in front of Yu Chengke at that time.

The time I spent going to the deserted city by myself is indeed relatively long, and it is natural for people to be suspicious.

"I just saw a dead man, who should have been chased and killed by Mu Qianxue and them, and fled there to die. I lurked cautiously for a long time, until I heard the horn of the beast ship sailing, and I had to come back. ”

"News has just come from Lizhou City, two monks from the Imperial Wind Sect were discovered by the defenders in the early hours of this morning. Yu Xiaoman spoke eloquently, while observing Jiang Feng's expression.

"And this?"

Jiang Feng was shocked again, Li Yufeng and Xu Youjing were actually discovered? Although the two of them were seriously injured, their cultivation was not low, and they could be discovered by the defenders, they must have been deliberately exposed, thinking of this joint, Jiang Feng's heart couldn't help but settle down, and the expression on his face became calm, "Maybe I saw that dead man and was in a group with them." ”

"It's possible. ”

Yu Xiaoman pondered for a moment, "Lizong has urgently dispatched the monk battle array to mediate all parties, and now the attitude is still unclear, during the war, I advise you not to meddle in your affairs, otherwise you will be involved in your small sect, and you will be judged to be involved in the battle, and you will lose the protection period of the patriarchal system. ”

"Don't worry, how can I mix indiscriminately, how can I have that qualification. Jiang Feng laughed at himself, but he couldn't help but be a little panicked in his heart, indeed, without the protection of the patriarchal system, the Qianshan Sect, which did not have a prefecture-level monk, had already been divided and eaten by several surrounding families, and in the best case, it was also reduced to a subsidiary sect.

Anyway, Lizong also made a move?

As the closest to the strength of the Li Sect among the many surrounding sects, the Imperial Wind Sect took this opportunity to make a move, presumably for the purpose of dividing the Imperial Wind Sect.

Naturally, he and the Qianshan Sect had no chance to get involved in this matter, which was not the same as taking advantage of the light of the Yuan Chu ruins to take advantage of the Hanshan faction, or taking advantage of the civil strife in the Black Water Gate to move the Nether Monument.

"Thank you!" Jiang Feng sincerely thanked him, after all, from the perspective of protecting his own sect and his own safety, the other party told this free information, which was not a small favor.

"Well, it's good to do it yourself. Yu Xiaoman was still so cold, he just answered and went out, Jiang Feng hurriedly sent it, this is a good time to repair the relationship.

Seeing Yu Xiaoman away, he hurriedly called out his apprentice Jiang Chengzi.

"You speed up to Nanyang City on the beast boat this afternoon, and then make a detour back to Dayi County, the time is very urgent!"

"What? I'm still hungry, and I'm going to run errands?"

Jiang Feng threw out two second-order coins and sent him out to find delicious food on his own within half an hour, and at the same time prepared paper and pencil and wrote two short messages, respectively to Shen Junmao, the town guard of Dayi County, and Wei Chengyu, a newly promoted Xuan-level monk in Luochuan, with his own soul mark, sealed with vermilion lacquer, and waited for Jiang Chengzi to come back.

The internal strife of the Imperial Wind Sect, the size of its sect, is not something that a small sect like the Ashala Sect can participate in making profits, but it is not completely impossible to drink some soup, Jiang Feng has already thought of a coping strategy.

From the crowd gathered outside the city when entering Xiaoting City, as well as the battle of Jindu City mentioned by Yu Xiaoman, it can be predicted that there will be a wave of exodus from the ordinary and low-level monks of the Qianshan Sect, Dayi County, as the northwest gateway of the Qianshan Sect, is not far from the Yufeng Sect, although most of the bordering areas are separated by the Hanshan Sect, but the Hanshan Sect also has civil strife, and the natural conditions are not good, unable to accommodate the displaced people, Jiang Feng pointed out in his letter to Shen Junmao, let him find a way to collect the refugees who fled from the north as soon as possible, and resettle them nearby, if they are from the Hanshan Sect, they will be sent to Donghu and Nuangu County, for this reason, he intends to take a third-order as a fund to facilitate all this。

As for Wei Chengyu, Luo Chuan's newly promoted Xuan-level monk, Jiang Feng temporarily transferred him to Dayi County to help Shen Junmao deal with the problem of low-level monks. Most of the Xuan-level monks have their own ways, and they will also be recruited by Mu Qianxue and Ling Feidu in the north, while the spirit-level monks, especially those with poor qualifications, will not be recruited, and there may be a small amount flowing into the territory of the Qianshan Sect, they are originally monks, theoretically speaking, they don't need to spend their own spiritual stones to settle, of course, the Qianshan Sect can't afford to spend this money.

They are stranded in Dayi County, which is a good thing, during the holidays, they may settle here for various reasons, but in the short term, there may be a lot of chaos, which requires strong pressure, relying on Shen Junmao and a Xuan-level monk to take charge, I am afraid that the strength will not be enough.

Jiang Chengzi came back after only a stick of incense, not because he knew the seriousness of the problem, but because it was too early, and most of the shops had not yet opened.

"Master, are you in such a hurry?" Jiang Feng explained the situation of the two letters clearly in a few words, and handed him a third-order and ten second-order petty pieces as travel expenses, and asked him to personally hand them over to Shen Junmao.

"Don't miss the opportunity, you do it quickly, and be careful in everything. Jiang Feng explained, thought about it again, and was still a little worried about Jiang Chengzi traveling alone, so he took out the "Lingguang Wrench", "Don't think about it when you encounter danger, try to take the official road, so safe." He took out another robe from the Chixia Gate, "If you have to take a secluded path, change into this one." No matter what you say, the Chixia Sect is also a stronger sect than us. ”

"Master, are you really?? Prosperous!?

Jiang Chengzi accepted the spirit stone and the letter, and said regretfully, "It would be nice if you asked, and you can go with me." ”

"Think beautifully!" Jiang Feng gave him a gooseberry, "Your third junior brother is still learning art." After sending the letter, you will go to Donghu County and go to the swamp with your second brother to pay tribute to your mother. ”

"Yes, Master, I see. ”

Jiang Chengzi jumped away and left, he has been under Jiang Feng's control on weekdays, and rarely acts alone, this time Jiang Feng let him go alone to deliver the letter, he was more excited like a wild donkey, he didn't want to stay for a moment, Jiang Feng stood in front of the inn, and soon disappeared from him.

............

Lizong, Lizhou City.

Xiao Mingzhen stood alone behind the monk's battle array, a little nervous in his heart. The tight figure, wrapped in Lizong's cyan robe, made her feel uncomfortable, and she also knew that this was an illusion caused by restlessness, after all, this robe has its own [fit] attribute and has good shrinkage elasticity.

"Yo, isn't this Mingzhen Big Girl?"

A discordant voice came from behind her, she looked back, but it was Xiao Mingshan, who had always had some dislike with her, as a member of the monks in the battle array, she was not like Xiao Mingzhen, an auxiliary monk, who had to stand in the middle and rear of the safety zone, but could freely choose one of several positions, but in terms of safety, it was not as good as Xiao Mingzhen who was protected in the formation.

"Who is my Dao? It turned out that she was not strong in the canyon, but she wasted a token without making an inch, and she was heroically saved by Miss Mingshan!" Xiao Mingzhen immediately pushed back unceremoniously.

Originally, Xiao Mingzhen's identity did not dare to directly argue with Xiao Mingshan, who awakened the law earlier, but now she has "come out", and her status in the family has been greatly improved.

"Hmph, don't look down on him, he will definitely be promoted to the ground level and become an inner sect elder sooner or later!" Han Li's identity has always been criticized by people in the family, Xiao Mingzhen mentioned this, it was like stepping on Xiao Mingshan's tail, making her immediately try her best to defend her favorite Lang Junlai.

"Then you have to work hard! This robe in the sect is not suitable!" Xiao Mingzhen said with a grin.

"What are you laughing at?" Xiao Mingshan obviously didn't understand the extraneous voice.

"If you don't have a long enough skirt, you can't help him get into the position of elder! ”

"You!" Xiao Mingshan's face turned red from her anger, "It's better than you, you can't get married!"

She said the word 'handsome' very seriously, and at the same time showed a slightly feminine smile, hummed a song in her mouth, and walked away proudly. Lizong's monk battle formation was hurriedly summoned last night and rushed to Lizhou City, just stopping here, not advancing or retreating, but also embarrassed, many monks in the formation have been wandering around the city casually, and they don't look like they are facing a great enemy at all.

Hi!

Seeing the annoying Xiao Mingshan walking away, Xiao Mingzhen breathed a sigh of relief, that damn guy was right, after practicing the "Tianluo Wind Dance", he could only wait for the family's arrangement and marry into a core family in the sect to ensure that this battle array skill would not fall into the hands of other sects, unless she could quickly reach the ground level before this, she could have some independent choice and choose in a larger range. Thinking of this, her expression was a little gloomy.

Otherwise, what can you do? I don't seem to have any appearance of a person I like, although I complain and even demean Xiao Mingshan, but Xiao Mingshan is actually very envious in my heart, what a happy thing it is to be with the person I like. She immediately remembered the golden light in the wonderful ancient well, could it be that I should marry a beam of light?

I don't know what happened to that stinky little boss Jiang Feng, hey, why do I think of him, he didn't even write me a letter, Xu forgot about me a long time ago, no, I heard that he went to look for him, but he wasn't there, this guy must not be good to find himself, most likely there is something to beg me I don't want to give the spirit stone, she thought to herself.

Just pondering, Xiao Mingshan suddenly felt a chill all over her body, and she reluctantly looked up, and in the distant sky in the northwest, three golden rays of light were rushing towards Lizhou City from the northwest.

............

Hobbit, the city lord of Lizhou City, is guarding the door at the door, as the lord of a city, he who has cultivated at the Xuan level Great Perfection, he could have walked sideways in this small Lizhou City, even in Nanyang City of the Imperial Wind Sect opposite, ordinary monks have to give themselves a little thin noodles. Today, however, the situation is different.

The few bigwigs gathered in the City Lord's Mansion now are not something he can afford to provoke, and several bigwigs he knows also respectfully call the other three bigwigs seniors.

Yes, the cultivation of these predecessors, he couldn't see it clearly, even if he used his afterglow to visit, he felt that his eyes were black, and his heart was stunned for a while, could it be that the legendary heaven-level monk?

As the highest cultivator of the Li Sect, Zhu Qianmu, who was in the early stage of the Heaven Level, could not sit in the chief today, and there were three bigwigs from the "Nine Old Men" in front of him:

Chief Li Zhenlong, born in the demon clan Qingqiu, the supreme controller of the Northern Continent, cultivated to the heaven-level high stage, it is said that he has touched the edge of the barren level, and it is also the direct worship of the Red Dragon Gate and the Lizong;

Jin Shengxi, born in the Red Dragon Gate of the Demon Clan, ranked fourth among the nine old men, cultivated to the middle of the heavenly level, and was worshiped by the Fire Gate, the Huadi Gate and the Oil Nai Tribe;

Wei Yanqiu, born in the Nanyuan Sect of the Human Race, ranked eighth among the nine old men, cultivated to the middle of the heaven-level, and now has no worship to the sect, and is now in charge of the Imperial Domain, and is also the only woman among the nine elders, of course, this does not include the four heaven-level members who are subordinate to the nine old men.

Zhu Qianmu ranked third among the members of the non-voting membership, although there is not much difference in strength with Xu Funing, who is at the end of the Nine Elders, but he can't and doesn't want to leave his current position, although there are greater benefits in entering the top nine, but it doesn't make much sense not to enter the top five, not to mention that even if he enters the top five, according to the rules of the Nine Old Men, he who was born in the Lizong will also lose the worship of the Lizong, which is a difficult choice for him who has many descendants of the Zhu family to take care of.

Under Zhu Qianmu, there were three pseudo-heaven-level monks. They are Luo Junji, the head of the Covering Sea Sect, Xu Deyang, the head of the Imperial Wind Sect, and Ling Zhiyun, one of the former senior elders of the Imperial Wind Sect. However, Ling Zhiyun, this time does not represent the Yufeng Sect, but on behalf of the rebels in the southeast, Zhu Qianmu knows the names of the two leaders, Mu Qianxue and Ling Feidu, but he has never seen a real person, the ground-level monk is nothing in his eyes, but he knows that Mu Qianxue is a disciple of Tai Ronghao, and Tai Ronghao He has seen it, although he is still at the prefecture-level consummation, but in time, he is full of peach and plums, and there is no suspense about being promoted to the pseudo-heaven level.

"Wei Yanqiu, you are in charge of managing the domain, you can make a charter for this matter. Li Zhenlong, who was sitting at the top, obviously didn't want to make any decisions, the three pseudo-heaven-level monks, who were not close to him, were familiar with him, and Lu Donglai, a member of the Nine Old Men who was from the same background as Jin Shengxi, but had not shown up for a long time, was their common worship.

"I propose to divide the Imperial Wind Sect into three. Since Luo Junji was slightly better than Xu Deyang yesterday, considering the number of remaining monks in the two sects, I suggest that the Imperial Wind Sect, west of the Qin River, be assigned to the Covering Sea Gate, and the eight cities from Huoyunling to the east of the Nuanchi Wetland will be temporarily under the jurisdiction of Ling Zhiyun and inherit the name of the Imperial Wind Sect. ”

"Then what about our name?" Xu Deyang, who was at the bottom, looked extremely unhappy, and couldn't help but ask, he originally wanted to dwell on the origin of the monk of the lower sea gate, but thinking about it, it should be a useless dispute.

"Listen to Wei Yanqiu's arrangement. Li Zhenlong, who was at the top, was shocked, and Xu Deyang didn't dare to speak anymore, so he could only lean back in his chair silently and look at Wei Yanqiu.

"You have lost the canonization documents, if you accept today's partition proposal, the Lifan Yuan will give you a new document according to the old practice, but the period of protection under the patriarchal system is only one hundred years, the name of the sect, you report to the Lifan Yuan as soon as possible, and it will be under the jurisdiction of Jin Shengxi Daoyou. ”

"Yes!" Xu Deyang only felt that his throat was dry, and he looked up at Jin Shengxi, and the other party gave him a positive look, which made him settle down, and the territory left to him was still the essence of the territory of the Yufeng Sect, and the coast of the Troubled Stone Sea was only lost by one-third, but it was a pity that the Golden Capital City and the spiritual land below, which has now become a ruin.

Although the Imperial Wind Sect couldn't be said to be defeated last night, it lost a large number of monks, and now Ling Zhiyun was openly on Mu Qianxue's side, and he was attacked on both sides, in order to ensure safety, bowing his head and admitting planting was the only choice.

"On the other hand, the four cities near Nanyang City were assigned to Lizong as compensation for mediating the matter. Wei Yanqiu finished reading with a blank face, and put the note in his hand into his pocket, which seemed to be a decision that had been made a long time ago.

"An immediate truce. ”

Li Zhenlong's words were unquestionable, "You two, have you chosen to worship?" he looked at Ling Zhiyun and Luo Junji. "You can also choose Lu Dong to come, but I don't know when he will return. ”

"I chose Senior Wei as an offering. ”

"Me too. Ling Zhiyun echoed.

"Okay!" Li Zhenlong glanced at Wei Yanqiu meaningfully, didn't say much, looked around, and disappeared in front of everyone, and when he reappeared, he had already returned to a five-zhang square lotus, and in front of him was kneeling a short and fat monk, who was his great-grandson Li Dabang.

"Get up!"

"Yes!" Li Dabang's expression was serious, but looking at his face, there was a hidden smile.

"What did I do with you?"

"The three 'True Pills' have been sacrificed on the opportunity of the battle between Haimen and the Imperial Wind Sect, and six more are needed to form, in addition, there are four source spirits, which are still not missing, I am trying to track down the traces of the 'Ancient Dian Champa', and I may be able to borrow her hand to find the whereabouts of a source spirit. ”

"Don't be in a hurry, or you'll get the attention of several other people. Be careful next time, this time it's a bit too hasty. If you want to ask Wei Yanqiu for something, you can ask for it, since she has been recognized by the two sects, according to the rules, he will replace Lu Dong to enter the top five, and she will no longer be in charge of the Lifan Yuan after a while. This woman is very scheming, you have to be careful in everything and choose the opportunity to deal with it. ”

"Yes!"

Li Dabang carefully retreated, and when he left the cave, he threw out his flying carpet and went straight to the southeast.

............

Yufeng Sect, Xiaoting City.

Jiang Feng, who was waiting at the designated place with Yu Xiaoman's sister and brother, suddenly caught a glimpse of the people from the Spirit Cage Chamber of Commerce, Qiu Nanjia and Liao Shencang, Ni Dabao and a strange monk accompanying him were also among them. He stepped forward to say hello, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then returned to the group, waiting for the treasure ship bound for the 'Snow Island'.

I waited like this for a while, until the monks on the rocky shore gradually increased, and I saw from a distance that a huge black shadow was slowly coming from the sky in the rocky sea where the tide was becoming more and more urgent.
