Since sending away Gu Weirui and Yu Wei and his party, Qin Guan has been in a state of thought, closed the door to his cave mansion, and has not appeared for more than ten days. Originally, if he had greeted everyone in advance, everyone would not have worried about anything, but he neither said that he was going to retreat, nor did he say what he was going to do, which caused Chun Yuxia, who had not seen Qin Guan for more than ten days, couldn't help but be a little puzzled, and didn't know what Qin Guan was doing.

Fortunately, just when Chun Yuxia was about to go to visit, Qin Guan was out of the customs and also called everyone for a meeting. The theme of the meeting was how to further condense the power of Lingshan in the chaotic situation in the North Sea.

The Cultivation Federation has already sent many array mages to various sects to help them build a levitating array and achieve Qin Guan's original idea. But it may not be completed for a while, so Qin Guan wants to take advantage of this time to further enhance the strength of the Repair Alliance. Although the Five Great Sects have no idea of attacking the Cultivation Federation now, they should also prepare in advance.

Qin Guan said: "Ladies and gentlemen, although there are more than two million monks in our Lingshan, it is still a sesame seed force in the Beihai, and it is really incomparable to those major sects. Therefore, I am thinking about whether to continue to recruit all kinds of casual cultivators, so as not to be too late in the future. ”

Gu Qinfang was a little speechless: "Palace Master, didn't you already say a few days ago that our Sanqing Palace is going to recruit a group of disciples, and after the news was released, there have been a lot of monks, you don't know about this yet, right?"

Qin Guan scratched his head: "Really, I thought that the strength of our Sanqing Palace was still not looked down upon by the cultivators! I didn't expect us to be so famous! Haha." ”

Helian Jun glanced at him: "Senior brother, it's not that our Sanqing Palace is famous, but that we are the only sect with two Yuanying monks in charge of the five major sects, and our reputation will naturally rise." ”

Qin Guan touched his nose: "It seems that the idea of respecting strength in the cultivation world is still deep-rooted! But it is also, otherwise where can you see the strength of a sect? "Indeed, since a monk has embarked on the path of cultivation, he must want to achieve something in this area, and only when the cultivation level is high, will his fame, wealth, status, and so on be improved, otherwise there will be no use in anything.

Since the Xiu Lian didn't need to do more publicity, Qin Guan didn't say much, changed his words, and came to the war in Beihai: "I don't know what the situation of the three Lingying factions is now." Elder Luo, what useful news have you received from the newcomers? Speak up and let us all consult. ”

"Back to the palace master's words. Luo Nan arched his hand and said, "There is indeed a lot of news about this, but the news brought by the scattered cultivation from various places is not the same. Some people say that the Chongxu Gate has broken into the hinterland of the Lingying faction, some people say that Lieyutang has been defeated by the Lingying faction and is ready to cede the land and pay compensation, and some people say that the Lingying faction has made peace with the other two families and is at peace. In short, it's very chaotic, but we don't have an exact source, so we can't tell the difference. ”

At this time, Chun Yuxia, who was sitting on the outermost side, said lightly: "I have some eyebrows about this matter. Du Shibo sent me the news, saying that the war on his side had fallen into a stalemate, but on the other side, Qin Wuyi was different, he was advancing vigorously, and he had already reached the outside of the mountain gate of a sect affiliated to Chongxumen, and then he would reach the real territory of Chongxumen. "Although the five major sects each divided a large area of territory in the hinterland of the North Sea, it takes a lot of manpower to control these territories after all, and in order to ensure the elite level of their own disciples, the Lingying faction and the other three schools did not directly rely on the disciples to control these territories like ghost cultivators and demon cultivators, but supported a lot of small sects, divided the outermost places, and let them guard them. Closer to their own core, there are some medium-sized sects, but these medium-sized sects are all original disciples of the three families, and they went out to found, which can be regarded as peripheral organizations. And the outermost small sects are at best some follow-ups.

"It's already hit the medium-sized sects on the periphery, this Qin Wuyi's speed is really fast enough!" Qin Guan muttered.

Chun Yuxia shook his head: "It's not that he uses soldiers like a god, it's just that the Lingying faction is already very familiar with this medium-sized sect, and the more peripheral affiliated sects, seeing that it is the Lingying faction's army attacking, have fled to the back of this peripheral sect, and they don't even want the mountain gate." ”

Qin Guan was also speechless for a while, there was nothing wrong with the design of Chongxumen, but they forgot, although the small sect of others is attached to your periphery, when you can't provide benefits, people can also escape, how can they be born and die for you. However, the medium-sized sects on the periphery are not good, whether it is the head or the elder, they all come out of the Chongxu Gate, so naturally they will not run away rashly, and they have to resist anyway. Therefore, Qin Wuyi marched all the way, and when he reached the outer sects, he began to fall into a bitter battle.

But Du Huafeng's side is different, Lie Yutang is not a strict sect, it is more like a huge alliance of chambers of commerce, there are various chambers of commerce organizations in it, and each of them is not necessarily the same heart, but in the face of the behemoth of the Lingying faction, the businessmen all have the same goal, and no one can pull back, otherwise it may be their turn to be the next to fall. Moreover, since Lieyutang is a huge alliance of chambers of commerce, the resources in the alliance are naturally the first in Beihai, and the Chongxumen, Lingying Sect, Bishan and Ten Thousand Demon Valley combined, are not necessarily full of Lieyutang's treasury. Once Du Huafeng and Lie Yutang started a war of attrition, they would inevitably lose in the end.

It's just that it's still in the beginning stage, and the Lingying faction has a slight chance of winning the war on both fronts, and Qin Guan can't guess what the next development will be.

But Chun Yuxia is different, she knows the Lingying faction very well, and she was silent for a long time: "The Lingying faction will lose this war." ”

The crowd was puzzled: "Why is this?

Chun Yuxia explained: "The Lingying Sect is the largest sect in Beihai on the surface, with millions of disciples in the sect, and hundreds of large, medium and small sects under its jurisdiction, totaling nearly 20 million monks, but there are many monks and consumes a lot of resources. In times of peace, there was a column of imperial hall as a supplement, but now it is against the column of the imperial hall, which will inevitably lead to a lack of various resources for the monks in the territory of the Lingying faction. This is not a long-term solution. ”

Her analysis really got to the point, Beihai is not a place where there are a lot of resources, and the resources that many monks need, such as plain silver, meteorite iron, Hexin bamboo, and other materials used in refining, are not produced in Beihai, and they all have to be transported by the chamber of commerce in the four seas and Kyushu. It's not that the Lingying faction hasn't tried to organize its own fleet, but it's either broken in the moat, or there is no contact with Kyushu in other seas, and people don't trade with you, so there is no way, so you have to continue to rely on the Chamber of Commerce. In this way, the Lingying Sect, which is now in the midst of war, must have a huge gap in their own resource reserves, and the longer the war drags on, the bigger the gap will be.

But Ouyang Jingming's calculation in his heart, everyone present didn't understand, why did he insist on fighting like this. Could it be that Ouyang Jingming just wanted to get a tattered Lingying Sect, or did he want to drag the three sects into the quagmire of war and consume the number of monks in Beihai?

Qin Guan didn't know about this, but he understood that as long as Ouyang Jingming didn't reveal his true purpose for a day, and the people of Lingyin Tower were not known to everyone in Beihai, he had no reason to attack several other sects. At the same time, the West Sea is now also in the calculation of the Lingyin Tower, once the West Sea completely falls, then the strongest group of people in the four seas will inevitably be held by the Spirit Yin Tower, which is also a huge threat to the North Sea.

Thinking of the situation in the West Sea, Qin Guan suddenly asked, "Hey, where is that Nie Yi Sword Daoist now, why haven't we heard from him in the past few days?" This Xihai Heavenly Sword Sect monk Nie Yijian, since he came to Lingshan, he has to meet many stewards of the Sword Pavilion last time every day, and his words are urging Lingshan to send troops to the West Sea to solve the difficult situation in the West Sea, but the stewards of the Sword Pavilion naturally know their own strength, and even these things in Beihai have not been settled, and there are several families outside eyeing them, how could they send troops for the West Sea Heavenly Sword Sect thousands of miles away, isn't this asking for their own death? So they have been fooling the past.

But in the past few days, Qin Guan hadn't realized what this sword cultivator named Nie Yijian was doing, but he hadn't seen him for a few days, which was very strange. And Yu Qi explained: "Palace Master, this Nie Daoyou saw that we were going to stick to Lingshan a few days ago, so I couldn't get angry, so I wanted to go to the other three sects to have a look, but I was persuaded to come down. ”

Qin Guan also had a headache, he knew that sword cultivation was dedicated to practicing swordsmanship, so he naturally had a little less flexibility in human feelings, but he never thought that at such a chaotic time, Nie Yijian also wanted to go to the other three sects for help, didn't he rush to tell Lingyinlou that there were fish that had slipped through the net in the West Sea? Moreover, they didn't know the current situation in the West Sea, if Nie Yijian had anything to do, no one would be able to lead them to the West Sea to rescue. After all, the moat between the two seas is not something that anyone can pass, and if Qin Guan and them set off rashly, they could only be buried in the belly of the demon beast under the sea and not survive.

"Okay, let's go and ask that Nie Daoyou to come over. Qin Guan motioned for Yu Qi to bring Nie Yijian, he wanted to ask how long Xihai could hold out.

After a while, Nie Yijian made a straight face, and Yu Qi led him to the main hall, seeing that there were so many people present, he was still a little confused, and then he suddenly became excited: "Qin Palace Master, is Lingshan preparing to go to the West Sea to rescue my Heavenly Sword Sect?"

Qin Guan smiled bitterly: "Nie Daoyou, don't get me wrong, my Lingshan is just a small place in Beihai now, and there are five major sects on it, even if I want to send people to help Xihai, I have to wait for the situation in Beihai to stabilize, right?" And Lingyin Building is not only in Xihai, but also in Beihai, if my Lingshan is empty, it is difficult to guarantee that Lingyin Tower will not take the opportunity to make trouble!"

He was telling the truth, the Heavenly Sword Sect was the only one in the West Sea, similar to the Lingying Sect and several others, but there was only one super sect in the West Sea, and all of them were sword cultivators, in terms of combat effectiveness alone, the Heavenly Sword Sect could compare to the Lingying Sect and the other five combined, and it was slightly better than half the first. But because of the secret infiltration of the Lingyin Building, it caused countless injuries to the Heavenly Sword Sect, not only the dozen or so Yuanying elders of the Heavenly Sword Sect were seriously injured or fell, but even the various sects under its jurisdiction lost many disciples, so they were besieged by the Lingyin Building in the hinterland of the Heavenly Sword Sect and could not move. Fortunately, the Heavenly Sword Sect is a sword cultivation sect, although there are a few sects under its jurisdiction that are law cultivation and physical cultivation, but the proportion is not much, unlike Beihai, all the Terran monks are law cultivation, and the demon monks are physical cultivation, so the many sects in the West Sea do not consume many genius earth treasures, and they can rely on a body of spiritual power to quench the decision immortal sword of solidarity. However, because of this, the low-level Qi cultivation period cultivators needed a lot of resources when forging their own sword pills, and now they have been exhausted, and if they are besieged like this by the Spirit Yin Building, it will inevitably cause fewer and fewer new disciples of sword cultivation. As the battles with the Lingyin Building became more and more frequent, the number of disciples consumed increased, and sooner or later, the Heavenly Sword Sect would face a situation where new disciples would have no swords available. Presumably, this is the reason why Lingyin Lou is not in a hurry to deal with the Heavenly Sword Sect, wanting to drag down the Sword Cultivation Sect in the West Sea.

Qin Guan pondered for a moment, and asked Nie Yijian: "Nie Daoyou, I know that you are eager to rescue the master, but my Lingshan is only two million monks now, and most of them are still monks who have built a foundation and practiced qi, and it is impossible to travel long distances, and even if they are sent out, it will be useless in the war." ”

Nie Yijian's face was full of disappointment, but he also knew that what Qin Guan said was the truth. These days, he has not been idle, asking around in Lingshan for news, and he also knows that the current situation in Beihai is indeed not optimistic. And most of the monks on the ground floor don't know that behind the current chaos in Beihai is the Lingyin Tower. But it's one thing to know in your heart, and it's another thing to accept it. But Qin Guan had already made it clear, it was not that the Lingshan Cultivation Federation did not want to rescue the Xihai Heavenly Sword Sect and the rest of the small and medium-sized sects, and the monks of Beihai naturally knew the truth of cold lips and teeth. But the current strength of the Xiu Lian does not allow them to rashly send many monks, and the five major forces in the North Sea have not yet broken their muscles and bones, and their strength is more than ten times that of the Xiu Lian, and it is a fool's dream to rely on Lingshan to rescue the West Sea alone. However, except for the three clan cultivator super sects other than Bishan and Ten Thousand Demon Valley, Nie Yijian is not optimistic, because these families are busy competing for the supremacy of the North Sea, and only the organization of the Lingshan Cultivation Federation can enter his eyes, but they do not have such strong strength.

"However, there is a way to do it, I don't know if Nie Daoyou is willing to cooperate. Qin Guan said indifferently.
