Chapter 256: Active Attack or Passive Defense

There is more than a million miles between the hinterland of the West Sea and the hinterland of the North Sea, and Qin Guan and the others can't help but wonder, why didn't the sword cultivators of the West Sea go to Kyushu for help, but instead came to the North Sea? And the person sent was not a monk with a high level of cultivation, but just an ordinary Jindan disciple. Although this Jin Dan disciple looked extraordinary, just the awe-inspiring long sword behind him was enough to make the stewards of the Sword Pavilion look the other way. But this is not enough, not enough for the entire Sword Cultivation Sect of the West Sea.

Qin Guan naturally wouldn't make a fool of himself with a monk in the Jindan period, and asked bluntly: "This fellow Daoist, there are a few questions I want to ask you first, I don't know if it's okay?"

This Jindan monk is naturally indispensable: "Senior, you have killed me, if you have any questions, you can naturally ask, and the juniors will not hide everything they know." ”

Qin Guan nodded, secretly exchanged ideas with the other Yuanying cultivators, and said after a moment of silence: "Then let's be straightforward, why don't you go to the Kyushu sect closest to the hinterland of the West Sea for help, but come to the North Sea millions of miles away?

The Jindan monk smiled bitterly: "The predecessors don't know, I didn't come to Beihai alone, but the people who traveled with me all fell on the road, and I was able to turn the danger into a disaster and escape to heaven by relying on this Ruyi sword behind my back." As for the entire cultivation world in the West Sea, it is even more difficult to say, the entire sword cultivation sect in the West Sea has been eaten away by a sect called Lingyin Building, and only a few are still struggling to support it. ”

"Lingyin Building?!" Qin Guan and the others couldn't help but be surprised, and exchanged glances with each other.

As soon as this Jindan monk heard Qin Guan's reaction, he knew that they must have known about the Lingyin Tower, otherwise they would not have reacted so much. This person's expression couldn't help but stiffen, and the divine sword behind him also trembled slightly, and it took a long time to calm down.

He was afraid that he had just escaped from the demon cave in the West Sea, and before he could find the object of serious help, he would fall into the hands of Lingyin Lou again.

Qin Guan nodded calmly: "The Lingyin Building in the mouth of this Taoist friend, we do know something, and don't look at the momentum of the Lingyin Building in Beihai now, it has not been known, but it has secretly infiltrated a lot of sects, and instigated three of the five major sects in Beihai to fight each other, maybe it won't be long before the situation in the West Sea will reappear in Beihai!"

This sword cultivator named Nie Yijian from the West Sea couldn't help but sigh again and again, only then did he understand why he had been encountering all kinds of battles on the way from the West Sea to Beihai, and it turned out that the situation in Beihai was not good, no wonder there were so many complicated battles.

He was already very sad about the situation in the West Sea, and when he saw the situation in the North Sea, he was even more worried that the several sects in the West Sea would not be able to withstand it for a long time, so he was even more worried.

He told Qin Guan and the others all the general situation. Although the West Sea is the base camp of sword cultivation, and the cultivation world of the West Sea is different from other places, the Terran monks occupy ninety percent of the two, and the remaining one is still because the sword cultivators want to sharpen their disciples, and the foreign monks who stayed behind are not strong. However, the number of sword cultivators in the West Sea is not large, and the West Sea is originally a poor and remote place, and the ordinary people of the human race and the low-level monks who have the ability to escape have long taken advantage of the time of peace to run to Kyushu by various means, and no one wants to stay in the bitter place of the West Sea and live a bitter life.

However, although the number of Xihai Sword Cultivators is only one thousandth of that of the Beihai Monks, their strength is not necessarily worse than the overall strength of the Beihai Monks, and they have more advantages in the way of attack. After all, sword cultivation is the best at flying swords, and it can be seen from Nie Yijian's divine sword: ordinary Jindan disciples would not dare to shuttle between the two seas rashly without the protection of Yuanying Monk, and they could also reach their destination intact in a short period of time, this ability can only be possessed by sword cultivation in the West Sea.

And Nie Yijian did rely on the Ruyi Divine Sword behind him to escape a lot of pursuits, and easily crossed the moat between the West Sea and the Beihai Sea, and came to Beihai for help. It's just that he didn't expect that after all the hard work, he would be like this.

Originally, he was going to seek help from the three family clan monk sects among the five major sects, but on the way, he heard that the three sects were now attacking each other, and if a person like him went rashly, he would inevitably be regarded as a spy sent by the enemy by the three major sects, and he would be expelled at the least, imprisoned or even killed on the spot, he did not dare to take this risk.

Fortunately, on the way, from the hearsay of a few scattered cultivators, in addition to the five major sects in Beihai, there is also a not small force - the existence of the Lingshan Cultivation Federation, so he went straight to Lingshan, wanting to let the people of the Cultivation Federation see the weal and woe and send some people to assist the Xihai Sword Cultivation.

And Qin Guan is not an unreasonable person, but aiding the West Sea will inevitably disperse the power of Lingshan, if the people of Lingyinlou instigate other sects to attack, even if Lingshan can resist, it will lose a lot of strength, and the gains outweigh the losses. He was not yet a virgin enough to neglect the lives of those around him for the sake of the lives of a group of strangers.

But if you don't help the Xihai Sword Cultivator, wouldn't it be to sit back and watch the Lingyin Tower swallow the huge Xihai and further expand its power. When the Lingyin Building integrates the Xihai Sword Cultivation, then it is time for the Lingyin Building Xihai General Altar to attack from all sides. By that time, the situation in the North Sea may worsen. After all, one Beihai General Altar is enough to give Qin Guan and these people a headache, if there is another Xihai General Altar, then they will simply tie their hands and just grab it, there is really no way to complete the task.

Qin Guan pondered for a long time, discussed with the others for a while, and replied: "This Nie Daoyou, although we can agree to this matter, but the current situation is not able to suddenly send troops to aid the Xihai Sword Cultivator." ”

Nie Yijian understood that the situation that Qin Guan and they were facing now was not much better than that of the Xihai Sword Cultivation Sect, although the Lingyin Building on this side of Beihai had not been completely exposed, but it had already been operating behind the scenes, I don't know how many things, just to cause disputes among the three major sects, it must be the shadow of these people. And before the various sects of Xihai Sword Cultivation, in fact, the same situation was the same, first they were infiltrated a lot by the people of Lingyin Building, and under the various instigation of secret spies, they were hostile to each other with other sects, and even fought fiercely, which would inevitably cause great damage. And by the time many people woke up, the remnants of the Xihai Sword Cultivation Sect were no longer the opponents of the Xihai General Altar of Lingyin Building, and the endless undercover spies alone were enough to give the management of the Xihai Sword Cultivation Sect led by the Lingxiao Sword Sect, the Sanyang Sword Sect, and the Huishan Sword Sect who were not wiped out. It is also a loss that because sword cultivation needs to refine sword pills as a place for his future sword cultivation, most people will be tempered by heart fire when refining sword pills, and the heart of a sword casting is very certain. But there are also many heirs of high-level people in the sect who have been shouting golden spoons since birth, even with the help of their elders, they have forged a sword pill, but their minds are not pure, that is, these people have become the objects of Lingyin Lou's breakthrough.

Although these noble disciples may not be able to cultivate profoundly, nor are they genius disciples, they are intertwined in the sect and can also influence many high-level decision-making, so after being controlled by the people of the Lingyin Building by relying on forbidden techniques, it has caused a lot of damage to the various sects of Xihai Sword Cultivation. Just some wrong choices, or simply the traps arranged by the Lingyin Building, the Sword Cultivation Sect stepped on them one by one under the instigation of these people.

Looking at Qin Guan with an embarrassed face, Nie Yijian sighed in his heart, it seemed that he would not get any help when he came to Lingshan for help, and he was about to say goodbye, but was stopped by Qin Guan: "Nie Daoyou, although my Lingshan is not the leading force in the North Sea, and there is no Divine Transformation Stage monk in charge, but if anyone can still have the strength to help the West Sea, then it is estimated that in addition to Bishan and Ten Thousand Demon Valley in Beihai, that is, my Lingshan." ”

This is not Qin Guan boasting, but a very sincere description. Among the cultivators, there are indeed no monks in the Transformation Period, and among the Yuanying Monks, the most promising ones to be promoted to the Transformation of God are Diemeng and Tianji, but they are not close to the threshold of Transformation - Diemeng is now the peak of the late Yuanying period, and Tianji is only the first to enter the late Yuanying stage. As for the others, the gap is even bigger, basically there is no three hundred years, it is impossible to enter the Yuanying Consummation, and Diemeng and Tianji hope to reach the realm of the Yuanying Consummation in about a hundred years, so as to try to promote to the gods.

Moreover, in addition to the lack of incarnation monks compared to the other five major sects, the current number of monks in the Lingshan Cultivation Federation has been two million, and this is only in the past ten years, and the Lingshan has gathered the most scattered cultivators. And there are also many monks from large, medium, and small sects, accounting for more than one-third of them, and the rest are scattered cultivators with uneven cultivation. This strength is indeed unrivaled in the North Sea, even Bishan, which is known as a million ghosts, in terms of quantity, is more than half less than the Xiulian.

However, the Cultivation Federation is not a mandatory organization, but relies on the spontaneous participation of everyone, if you want to help the West Sea, you must let the Lingshan Cultivation Federation occupy the absolute position of Beihai, so that you can send people with peace of mind, otherwise Qin Guan and the others will not send people out with peace of mind.

"In this way, if Daoist friends can wait patiently for some time, and my Cultivation Alliance has pacified Beihai, then my Cultivation Alliance will definitely send people to assist fellow sword cultivators in the West Sea, how about it?" Qin Guan asked.

Nie Yijian had the intention to turn around and leave, he was not a fool, even if the strength of the Cultivation Federation was indeed good now, it would be impossible to make nearly 100 million Beihai monks respect the Cultivation Alliance, otherwise Beihai would not have the division of the five major sects. But he also understood that if he wanted to convince other sects, he would definitely not be able to speak so well than Xiulian. He knew that the concept of the Cultivation Federation was to fight against the huge crisis in the cultivation world, and the organization formed by the monks of the Scattered Sect and the sect together, while the other sects had their own interests, and they would definitely not be so easy to talk about.

So he was a little hesitant for a while, not knowing what to do next. And Qin Guan also understood that there was no way to convince Nie Yijian just by mouthful, and it was impossible for him to force Nie Yijian to stay, after all, the Ruyi Divine Sword behind Nie Yijian was just that sharp qi, which made the dragon claw wooden sword and Ling Xiao sword in Qin Guan's body tremble, and he knew at a glance that it was not ordinary. If you make a move, you don't know who has the advantage.

"What's more, what the predecessors said Nie knows, now Beihai is also in turmoil, even if Nie goes to other places, it is difficult to persuade other sects to help, it is better to wait for the seniors and others to recover Beihai, and then seek others. Nie Yijian said helplessly.

Qin Guan summoned Luo Nan and other people from the Foreign Affairs Hall from Fangcun Mountain, and together with the stewards of the Sword Pavilion, they went to discuss with Nie Yijian the cultivation concepts, customs and customs of the Western and Northern Seas, etc., in order to prepare for a counterattack on the West Sea in the future. Moreover, it was also to stabilize Nie Yijian, so that he would not lose confidence in the Xiulian.

After that, Qin Guan returned to the main hall with the other Yuanying monks and began to discuss the next matters.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we all know that we are in a dilemma. Do you continue to wait for the opportunity like this, or do you attack from all sides and chop off the claws of Lingyin Tower in Beihai, so as to avoid being reduced to the appearance of the West Sea?" Qin Guan asked.

This question is that there is no choice, the discerning person will inevitably choose the second one, after all, the current situation in Beihai is unclear, and the three major sects are fighting each other, if they still shrink in Lingshan like this, wouldn't it give Lingyinlou time to clean up the situation. Once the Lingyin Building splits and destroys those sects, they will be followed by their Lingshan in addition to Bishan and Ten Thousand Demon Valley.

Although now, the total number of scattered cultivators and sect monks gathered in the Cultivation Federation has reached two million, but in the vast Beihai cultivation world, it only accounts for one-fiftieth of them, and although the remaining forty-nine out of fifty are the lowest-level Qi cultivation and foundation building monks, so many monks are also a very huge force.

And if according to Qin Guan's thoughts, the Cultivation Federation began to prepare to take the initiative, then among the two million monks, the one who could form the Lingshan Cultivation Alliance was only one million, which was only half of the number of the chief monks of the Cultivation Alliance, and the monks above the Jindan were only more than 10,000, and most of them were scattered cultivators with a single means, and they did not occupy much of an advantage over other big forces, let alone subduing several other major sects in Beihai.

But they also knew that if they didn't do this, then what was waiting for them would be all kinds of encroachment on Lingyin Tower, and compared to the current situation, it would only be worse and not have a tendency to get better.
