Chapter 252: Know My Sin and My Guilt
Since Du Huafeng returned to the camp, he began to actively prepare for the war with the Lie Yutang, and secretly reached a consensus with Yu Manqiu to join hands to fight against Ouyang Jingming's infiltration in the Lingying Sect. However, the two of them, together with the other two Lingying Sect Yuanying elders named Yuqing and Wushi Wan, formed an alliance, and together they could barely confront the four people led by Ouyang Jingming and under the jurisdiction of Qi Wuming, Qin Wuyi, and Qian Santong.
In the blink of an eye, more than a month has passed since Du Huafeng ordered him to go down and prepare for the war, and the eastern battalion of the Lingying Sect, which is strong and strong, is ready to go, just waiting for him to give an order, and he will be able to start a war with the Lie Yutang.
Just the day before departure, Du Huafeng and the four met in a secret place in the camp.
Elder Yuqing sighed: "I don't know, Senior Brother Du will come back after leaving." A few of us in the Lingying Sect are missing a pillar!"
The samurai was wide and fat, and he was a big fat man with an extremely heavy tonnage, and the flesh on his face was trembling when he laughed, and he patted his big belly and said: "Senior Sister Yuqing, don't worry, I didn't see Senior Brother Du didn't speak, he must have prepared something, so he brought a few of us over." Senior Brother Du, you said yes, right?"
Du Huafeng smiled slightly: "What Senior Brother Wu said is good, Brother Wei does have some ideas. Today, I summoned the three junior brothers and sisters to come over, and I also wanted the younger brothers and sisters to prepare before leaving, so that the three of you would not be used by that villain in the sect. "They don't even use Ouyang Jingming's name when they speak now, after all, the monks of the Yuanying Consummation already have a sense of spirit, as long as someone is talking about him in secret, he will have a certain feeling, maybe he will be alert.
Yu Manqiu was puzzled: "What do you mean by this, senior brother?
Du Huafeng nodded: "Brother Wei also told you a few days ago, not only will he plant spies around us, but Brother Wei is not inferior to him, and he has already arranged some manpower in secret." But for the sake of safety, these dark lines are only known to the brothers, and I hope that the younger brothers and sisters will not ask questions. ”
It's not that he doesn't believe these three people, but the stakes are high, and if these three people inadvertently reveal the news, it will be a heavy loss for him. After all, among those dark lines, there were many disciples he was very optimistic about, and if it weren't for fighting with Ouyang Jingming, he wouldn't be willing to send them to others.
Yuqing and Wu Shiwan wanted to ask in detail, but Yu Manqiu said bluntly: "What Senior Brother said is extremely true, as long as Senior Brother can trust these people, I naturally don't need to ask more." After that, he gave Yuqing and the samurai a look, so that the two of them closed their mouths in a daze.
"By the way, senior brother, I don't know if you have a specific goal after you set off tomorrow?" The other two people also paid attention to it, after all, the stakes were very high, and if there was no detailed plan, Du Huafeng would definitely not set out so soon.
Unexpectedly, Du Huafeng smiled mysteriously: "This matter is also interesting to say, for my brother I really don't have an exact plan now, just take a step and watch a film." ”
The three of them were stunned, this really didn't seem to come out of Du Huafeng's mouth, he was calm, he was already a person who planned to act later when he was young, how could it be that thousands of years of time made him impatient?
Du Huafeng looked at the three people with blank expressions, and laughed: "This is also deliberately for my brother." The three younger brothers and sisters also know that what they love most is to plan everything before acting, and others must think the same. But Brother Wei wanted to lure the snake out of the hole this time, how could he still make a plan in advance, it was nothing more than improvisation. However, Brother Wei is sure that this operation will not go smoothly. ”
Yu Manqiu pondered for a moment: "Senior brother, is what you just said related to this operation? Could it be that someone wants to take advantage of your expedition to do something to you?"
Du Huafeng was stunned: "Sure enough, I can't hide anything from you, junior sister." Then he smiled bitterly and said, "What Senior Sister Yu said is true, although Brother Wei has lived in the Lingying Sect for more than a thousand years, and he basically knows a lot about the big and small things in the sect, but there are still many places that Brother Wei has not been able to grasp so far, such as the situation of our Supreme Elder." ”
The Taishang Elder of the Lingying Sect is named Dongfang Shuo, not a disciple of the Lingying Sect of Du Huafeng's previous generation, but a higher generation, and it is said that he has been practicing for nearly three thousand years, and he is a thorough old antique. Don't look at Du Huafeng, who has been in the Lingying Sect for more than a thousand years, but in front of this Supreme Elder, he has only seen it three times, one time is the death of the previous head, one time is Ouyang Jingming taking over as the head, and one time is Du Huafeng himself taking over the position of elder. And these three times are all in the same year, not a matter of how long they have been.
The reason why Du Huafeng was very jealous of this Supreme Elder was because Dongfang Shuo was very important to Ouyang Jingming, not only did he speak out in support of Ouyang Jingming as the leader, but he also sent his apprentice, Qin Wuyi, to Ouyang Jingming's subordinates. If it weren't for Dongfang Shuo's strong support, Ouyang Jingming would not have been able to stay in the position of head for so long.
And this time, the reason why Du Huafeng wanted to summon the three of them over was because Dongfang Shuo explained what he had done through Du Huafeng. He pointed to his head: "Several junior brothers and sisters also know that the above person gave me an order through that person, asking me to occupy one-twelfth of the territory of the Imperial Hall within three years, and it was also assigned to the range. I secretly sent someone to investigate, these places are actually desert islands, there is nothing special, judging from the chart, they are actually close to the side of Chongxumen. If Brother Wei's guess is correct, then Qi Wuming probably received a similar order this time, and he also occupied the territory close to the side of the Imperial Hall. However, even if these two places are combined, they are still far away from the headquarters of my Lingying Sect. What do you think?"
The warrior smacked his lips and said, "It's not simple, it's just that there are things that we are determined to get within that range." ”
Yuqing also nodded, agreeing with Samurai Wan's statement. But Yu Manqiu hesitated: "Senior Brother Wu, don't you think it's too obvious to think like this? If Lie Yutang and Chongxu Sect think a little bit, won't our Supreme Elder's plan be revealed?
Indeed, in the five major sects of Beihai, each family has a monk in the Transformation Period, although the people who are not cultivating enough at the bottom don't know it at all, and they think that there are no monks in the Transformation Stage in Beihai, but as the combat power of the sect, the Yuanying monks still understand.
The reason why Du Huafeng is not afraid of these old monsters in the Transformation Period is also because the monks in the Transformation Stage are different from the Yuan Infant Stage, and every move can bring about changes in the aura of heaven and earth. There are even some god-transforming stage cultivators, such as the two old monsters in Bishan and Ten Thousand Demon Valley, one has the ability to watch the family, and the other has cultivated the magic power of the law itself, and the two of them can make a sudden change in the wind and clouds within a radius of thousands of miles as soon as they make a move. But these old monsters in the Transformation Period usually can't make a move at all, because the price of their shot is too great, for example, the aura in the world is far from what it was when the cultivation world was first set 6,400 years ago, and the aura has gradually been scarce, and the spiritual power consumed by these monks in the Transformation Stage is difficult to quickly replenish from the aura of the surrounding heaven and earth, and it will take at least several years to recover from a single shot, which is still in the best spiritual land. If it is in a place where Beihai is poor in spiritual energy, it is normal to paint for decades.
But this time, Du Huafeng felt that there was some danger, Dongfang Shuo had been supporting Ouyang Jingming for unknown reasons since hundreds of years ago, it stands to reason that how could he, a cultivator, not see that Ouyang Jingming was not the original Ouyang Jingming, or did this Ouyang Jingming secretly reach a deal with Dongfang Shuo, so he exchanged Dongfang Shuo's support for him? And Du Huafeng learned from the spies sent that the reason why Ouyang Jingming let Du Huafeng lead the troops on the expedition with great fanfare this time was also because he was absolutely sure that he could deal with Du Huafeng, but because of the reputation among the sects, Du Huafeng was sent outside.
In Du Huafeng's heart, he didn't think that Ouyang Jingming would be able to deal with him by himself, since Ouyang Jingming was so sure this time, then there must be someone at a higher level who wanted to deal with Du Huafeng. Thinking about it this way, except for Dongfang Shuo, there is really no one who can make Du Huafeng think of it. That's why he summoned the other three over, just in case, if something happened to him this time, these people would have to face greater pressure from Ouyang Jingming's side in the future, and they had to say hello to the three of them in advance.
The three of them looked at each other, in fact, they would never believe that Dongfang Shuo, as the Supreme Elder of the Lingying Sect and the only cultivator of the Transformation Period, would make a move on Du Huafeng, who was loyal to the sect. But the speculation given by Du Huafeng had to make them suspicious, and it was indeed very likely.
Yuqing and Wushi were a little anxious: "Senior brother, otherwise you won't go this time, how about letting the disciples of your sect replace you?"
Yu Manqiu shook his head at this time and said, "The idea of the two senior brothers and sisters is too simple. Senior Brother Du, as the senior brother of our generation, although he is not the descendant of the head of the family, but he is also a benchmark, if he retreats from the battle this time, the loss of face is enough to make Senior Brother Du unable to raise his head in the division in the future. This can be regarded as Ouyang Jingming's yang conspiracy, and the senior brother has to take it. ”
Du Huafeng glanced at Yu Manqiu with appreciation: "What Senior Sister Yu said is also what my brother thinks." Although my brother's cultivation is only in the late Yuan Infant stage, and he is a step behind Ouyang Jingming, but he personally takes action, and it is impossible to restrain me, and it must be a monk in the transformation stage to make it difficult for me to escape. Therefore, you can be secretly vigilant in the sect, if our Supreme Elder doesn't move, then I will definitely be fine, if the Supreme Elder moves, then you should be prepared not to be suddenly attacked by Ouyang Jingming. ”
His words were already his last words, so that the three of them suddenly didn't know what to say, and for a while the hall was silent, and the atmosphere became solemn.
Du Huafeng said with a smile: "What's wrong with you, it's not inevitable that your brother will fall, it's just to prepare in advance." Besides, even if a monk in the Transformation Stage makes a move, will he sit still and wait for his brother to die? Brothers and sisters can rest assured that Brother Wei has lived for so long, and some of them have means to escape. ”
Then, he didn't say anything else, but handed over the list of most of the supporters in the sect he mastered to Yu Manqiu and the three of them, so that the three of them could be integrated one by one in the future. After chatting for a while, they dispersed.
After the three of them left, Du Huafeng was alone in the night sky, but he couldn't calm down for a long time. In fact, where could he have any way to escape under the hands of the cultivators of the Transformation Period? He was not an uninformed cultivator, so he naturally knew that the gap between the Transformation Stage and the Yuan Infant Stage was even greater than that between the Yuan Infant Stage and the Foundation Building Period, and he was simply a figure from the two worlds. If the monk of the foundation building period is a slightly larger ant in front of the monk of the Yuan Infant Stage, then the monk of the Yuan Infant Stage can simply ignore it in front of the monk of the Transformation Period, and he can kill the other party with his eyes alone, so that he will not be as troublesome as the monk of the Yuan Infant Stage dealing with the monk of the Foundation Building Period.
But he couldn't show cowardice in front of the three junior brothers and sisters, after all, the alliance of the four people was supported by him, and the other three, Yuqing and Yu Manqiu were just entering the middle of the Yuan Infant Period, and the warrior was at the peak of the middle Yuan Infant Period, and the three of them estimated that they couldn't deal with Qin Wuji and Qi Wuming, the two monks who had just entered the late Yuan Infant period, not to mention Qian Santong, who was at the peak of the late Yuan Infant stage, and Ouyang Jingming, the veteran Yuan Infant Consummation Monk.
"Hey, I think I'm Du Mou was born in the Lingying faction, and I'm worthy of the ancestor and the disciple of the sect, and I don't want to be targeted by a fake head and my own genuine elder. ”
He smiled bitterly: "That's it, it's useless to think too much." He turned around and kowtowed to his master, the Wuhua Zhenren of the previous generation of Lingying Sect elders, who was enshrined in the main hall, "Master, disciple go." Then he strode out of the main hall, leaving behind a portrait of the five Chinese people in the main hall and the cigarette curling in front of the portrait.
If Qin Guan was here, he would definitely evaluate Du Huafeng as a handsome man in his heart, although he was not perfect, not only did he have different attitudes towards people near and far, but he would also tilt a lot of cultivation resources towards the people of his own family, but it was undeniable that as a disciple of the Lingying Sect, he was still concerned about the rise and fall of the sect, which was enough to make Qin Guan admire.
