Episode 9 Chapter 5 Competing for Favor
Receiving the news of Wei Long's return, Hong Wu was overjoyed.
Now, Hongwu has completely clarified his mentality.
Ambition?
That kind of thing Hong Wu didn't dare to give birth to, especially in front of Wei Long.
Hong Wu could see from Wei Long's expression that he was in a good mood.
Hong Wu greeted him and said happily: "Congratulations to Your Excellency!"
Your Excellency's strength will surely make the Divine Phoenix and the Nine Dragons bow their heads and admire, and the majesty will cover the four seas and cover the nine heavens. ”
Before Wei Long left, he went to make an appointment with the Nine Dragons and the Divine Phoenix.
Hong Wu didn't know the details, but he thought it would be a test.
Whether you can really enter the highest level of the anode industry depends on the results of this appointment.
And Wei Long was in a good mood, and he had already explained the result.
Hongwu's psychological construction, Wei Long didn't expect it. It's just that when he heard Hong Wu's words, he was surprised in his heart.
Hongwu was not as well-behaved as he is now.
It seems that the recent series of beatings has trained Hongwu well.
Hong Wu observed the words and continued: "Your Excellency left not long ago, but a lot of things have happened in the North Underworld, and I just want to report it!"
The Northern Cultivation Federation is bent on plotting against the mountain of gods you give, but it doesn't have much effort. ”
Hongwu under eye medicine.
The biggest surprise in Hong Wu's heart was that after Wei Long returned, he was the first thing he thought of.
This shows that Wei Long still has him in his heart.
That's for the best.
And at this time, the people of the Northern Cultivation Alliance were not in front of him, so he had to seize the opportunity.
On the one hand, it is to express itself, and on the other hand, it is to suppress the other party.
Wei Long didn't say anything, just walked towards the secret territory of the Daomen.
Seeing that the Dao Gate was now back to normal, he couldn't help but bow his head, and then he spoke: "The affairs of the Northern Underworld Continent, let's wait for the Zhiling Mountain Lord to come and report together." ”
Wei Long's voice was very indifferent, but there was no doubt about it.
Hong Wu is now in a very positive state of mind, which makes Wei Long feel more good.
But before Hongwu's ambition was obvious, he kept making small moves, and he didn't forget it.
The most important thing is that Hongwu has ambition but no strength.
This made Wei Long not give him much of a good face.
As the spokesperson of the Terran forces supported by the Nine Great Dao Sect in the Northern Underworld, Daomen's overall strength is indescribable.
The Nine Great Dao Sect still has the ancestors guarding it, but in the tens of thousands of years since the rise of the Dao Gate, when it was the strongest, there were a few more innate Dao body powerhouses.
Now there are only two innate Dao body cultivators inside the Dao Gate.
One is Hongwu in front of him, and the other is the deputy master.
The Northern Cultivation Alliance, which was half-crippled by Wei Long, still has two innate Dao bodies!
It can be seen that Daomen, as one of the great forces in the Northern Underworld, was actually emasculated by the Nine Great Dao Sect.
And the reason why Hongwu in front of him was in such a fast state of mind was not because he could observe words and feelings, but because of Wei Long's personal beating.
Winning the Daomen was a qualitative change for Wei Long, and it was also a turning point in his status in the anode world.
According to common saying, Hongwu should have the merit of following the dragon.
However, in several important events after Wei Long took the Daomen, turned against the Nine Great Dao Sect, and then was surrounded and suppressed by Qi Fengshan, the Gods Society, and the Northern Cultivation Alliance, and even broke the tripartite alliance to sweep the Northern Underworld, Hongwu's performance was all out of points.
If it weren't for Wei Long's need for an orthodox skin earlier, Hongwu might have been erased long ago.
It was only after Wei Long himself changed his stance from a saboteur to a defender of order that Hongwu's attitude completely improved.
It was even after introducing the forces of the Northern Repair Alliance that it completely bowed down.
But in this way, Hong Wu has no affection for Wei Long.
In fact, this is also true.
Hongwu, the lord of great forces, can be described as flattering between words, but the effect is too far behind.
Now it is he who needs Wei Long, not Wei Long who needs him.
Wei Long thought that he would be able to re-establish a Dao Sect in the Northern Underworld.
What the Nine Great Dao Sect can do, he can also do.
And it's easier to do.
"Your Excellency, rest assured, the Zhiling Mountain Lord is already on the way. Seeing that Hongwu was distracted, the deputy master of the Daomen opened his mouth.
Wei Long, Hong Wu, and the deputy gate master entered a palace together.
Wei Long sat down on the throne and said no more.
Hong Wu was very bitter in his heart, but he couldn't say a word.
That's the difference between giving charcoal in the snow and icing on the cake.
He also deeply felt that Wei Long was just familiar with him now, and he couldn't talk about appreciating him at all.
On the side, the slightly old face of the deputy master of the Dao Gate did not have much expression.
Hong Wu, the master of the door, of course knows the thoughts of the deputy master.
Hong Wu has always been pretentious, and he, the deputy sect master, is called the deputy sect master, which is actually similar to the great elder of an ordinary sect.
There is support, but there is little real power.
Because Hongwu has a strong desire to control.
Hongwu is ambitious, and the deputy sect master has long been clear, as early as when the Nine Great Dao Sect secretly controlled the Daomen, the deputy sect master was very clear about Hongwu's plan, and wanted to use the ancestral vein and water eye to achieve immortals.
It's just that Wei Long's appearance planned all the plans.
Moreover, the rise of Wei Long also made the situation heat up rapidly.
The more anxious the situation, the more it tests the judgment of the person at the helm.
The weakness of Hongwu, who is the master of the gate, is also magnified.
Of course, the deputy door master did not underestimate Hong Wu.
It's just that its ability can't support ambition, and it doesn't have the ability to pick the chestnut from the fire.
In contrast, the mentality of the deputy door owner is corrected.
Back then, in order to control them, Wei Long left the Nine Dragons mark in their souls, but now in the eyes of the deputy sect master, this is a rare affection.
Now that the immortals are in the lead, I am afraid that the current lord of the Northern Underworld, His Excellency Wei Long, will not give a Nine Dragons Mark.
The deputy master observes words and emotions all year round, so his mind is keen.
In contrast, Hong Wu's mind is not so delicate.
"By the way, the part of Tianmu Mountain, Heiyunfang, Ye Family, Jinzhong Sect, Purple Star Tower, Baiyun Temple, don't forget to take care of them in the future. Wei Long thought of something and commanded.
Tianmu Mountain is gradually rising, and the internal struggle will be fierce.
Wei Long still remembers these own people.
There are also a few Nine Dragon Slaves.
It's just that from now on, I'm afraid he won't get out of the Nine Dragons slave again.
"Yes. ”
Hong Wu had already come back to his senses and hurriedly responded.
The same goes for the deputy door master next to him.
It's just that Hongwu's bitterness is heavier.
The deputy master is also not a taste in his heart.
These forces are weak to them, but they obviously cannot be taken lightly.
Wei Long still thinks about the old people in his heart, but this is the only point, much stronger than them.
Immediately, Hong Wu and the deputy door master were shocked.
The two of them thought of one thing at the same time, this matter Wei Long ordered them alone, which obviously also meant that the Dao Sect was at least one point better than the Northern Cultivation Alliance.
A few hours later.
The current alliance leader of the Northern Cultivation Alliance, the mountain lord Zhiling, just arrived.
After entering the secret realm, he directly threw off the Dao disciples who led the way, and quickly flew away all the way.
Following a strong qi machine to a palace, he hurriedly tidied up his robes and trotted in.
Before the person arrived, the voice arrived first: "I actually made Your Excellency wait for a long time, it is really embarrassing for the old man, I haven't seen you for a few days, Your Excellency's qi is even better, I think it is not weaker than the emperor of that day, it is really a peerless posture, let me wait for people in cultivation to sigh to themselves!"
When Wei Long arrived, he sent a message to Hongwu and the Zhiling Mountain Lord at the same time, and then he came directly to the Daomen.
The Dao Gate also has an interest in the original chassis of the Gods Society, but it has its own elders to manage it.
And after the Daomen completed the establishment of the teleportation array, Hongwu and the deputy gate master no longer sat in person.
This teleportation array is the establishment of the Dao Gate, which leads directly to its own secret realm, and it is naturally used by Hongwu, but not by the Zhiling Mountain Lord.
The Lord of Zhiling Mountain came from the mountain of the gods.
Calculating the time, when it was a moment of non-stop, it took a few hours to cross half of the Northern Underworld.
The mentality of the Daomen is relaxed, but the Northern Cultivation Federation is different.
The Northern Repair Federation finally moved from the bitter cold north to the rich territory.
At that time, Wei Long only embezzled the resources on the surface of the Gods Society, and did not shake the fundamentals.
As the overlord realm, the anode realm is only inferior to the resources of the Northern Underworld Continent, such as the empty sea realm, which has been completely destroyed, and it is even more than several times exceeded.
If Wei Long had fished with all his might and embezzled the foundation of the Northern Underworld, he would have been able to survive the Immortal Thunder Tribulation, but he didn't do so.
Instead, they chose the way of a long stream.
In fact, the lord of Zhiling Mountain was put on a table by Hongwu.
Hong Wu deliberately created time to be alone with Wei Long.
At this time, hearing the words of the Zhiling Mountain Lord, Hong Wu couldn't help but roll his eyes.
After entering the secret realm of the Daomen, without waiting for the disciples to guide the way, he hurriedly flew away and came to the outside of the palace, and did not forget to tidy up the Taoist robe, that Taoist robe is an innate Taoist weapon, will it be chaotic?
This Zhiling Mountain Lord usually doesn't see it, and he is really flattering.
However, on the surface, Hongwu was silent.
After the Zhiling Mountain Lord saluted Wei Long, he swept over Hongwu and saw his deep eyes, and the Zhiling Mountain Lord's heart sank.
Hong Wu's eyes did not see the bitterness before, but there was a touch of pride hidden in the deepest part.
It's acting!
But the Zhiling Mountain Lord doesn't know.
In the eyes of the Zhiling Mountain Lord, it was his "keenness" that captured this smugness.
Considering that when he received Wei Long's message, he asked Hong Wu for help using the other party's teleportation array, but the other party refused.
In this way, a time difference was created, allowing Hong Wu to see Wei Long first.
Just thinking about it, the Zhiling Mountain Lord felt very bad.
Fortunately, Wei Long's words made the Zhiling Mountain Lord breathe a sigh of relief, "Now that the Zhiling Mountain Lord has arrived, you can report on the affairs of the Northern Underworld." ”
The mountain lord of Zhiling breathed a sigh of relief.
This means that the worst has not happened.
If it was really Hong Wu who reported and discussed the affairs of the Northern Underworld when he didn't come, it would be miserable.
That means being pushed out of the core decision-making circles.
"Now, at most, Hongwu took advantage of the earlier acquaintance of Your Excellency, so he reminisced in advance. It's bad, but it's not the worst. The Zhiling Mountain Lord sighed in his heart.
There's no way around it.
Lu Feng, the previous leader of the Northern Cultivation Alliance, agreed to the conditions of the public enemy of the realm, and then united with Qi Fengshan and the gods to attack His Excellency Wei Long.
The last addition of the Northern Repair Federation was only a surrender.
Congenitally, the Northern Cultivation Alliance is much worse than the Daomen.
Daomen was the first fourth-order force to join Wei Long.
Standing with Wei Long, he resisted the joint attack of the Nine Great Dao Sect, resisted the previous three-way siege of Qi Feng Mountain, the Gods Society, and the Northern Cultivation Alliance, and even the previous joint pressure of the Nine Great Dao Sect, Demon Mountain, and Feather God Dynasty stood firmly by Wei Long's side.
This is the root of the sprouts.
Hongwu is equivalent to the dragon hero when the mortal dynasty was established.
At least in the eyes of the Wisdom Age Mountain Lord.
Although not long ago, Hong Wu was shaken when facing the tripartite alliance of the Nine Great Dao Sect, Demon Mountain, and Feather God Dynasty, he still did not make a mistake in the end.
Thinking of this, the bitterness on the face of the mountain lord of Zhiling became a little more real.
Hong Wu glanced at the Zhiling Mountain Lord suspiciously.
He didn't expect the Zhiling Mountain Lord to think so much.
This is also the difference in personality between the two.
As the master of the Dao Gate, even if he was restricted by the castration of the Nine Great Dao Sect in private, Hong Wu was also the master of a great force.
And because of the support of the Nine Great Dao Sect, with the weakest strength, it was able to suppress other powerful forces in the Northern Underworld.
Similar to the relationship between a cat and a shoveler.
The Zhiling Mountain Lord is not good.
His experience was a bit like that of the deputy master of the Daomen, and it was worse than that.
First of all, the Zhiling Mountain Lord failed to join the Northern Cultivation Alliance's joint Qifeng Mountain and the Gods Society's attack on Wei Long.
He is a downright marginal figure in the Northern Repair Federation.
In other words, if it weren't for Lu Feng's four innate Dao bodies being killed by Wei Long, he wouldn't have had a chance at all.
And the force of the Northern Repair Federation itself is also deeply discriminated against.
The Northern Cultivation Alliance is the original ancient sect that failed to stand in time and formed a defeated dog alliance, and the other three major forces in the Northern Underworld Continent can bully the Northern Cultivation Alliance.
The deputy master of the Dao Gate was only suppressed by the strong door master, but he was still the deputy master of the Dao Gate.
The owner of Zhiling Mountain is a completely marginal figure.
Suddenly entering the center, even if it was Wei Long's casual words, he would chew them repeatedly.
I'm afraid I'll be wrong.
Hong Wu felt that it should be his own momentum that suppressed the Zhiling Mountain Lord, and immediately reported: "Now the affairs of the Northern Underworld Continent are running smoothly.
However, all the energy of the Northern Cultivation Alliance was spent on the Mountain of the Gods that you had bestowed, and a large number of disciples were among them.
According to your instructions, Qi Fengshan assigned a chassis to the Feather God Dynasty and the Nine Great Dao Sect, but they were all adjacent to each other, and they were all close to the Northland area.
In addition, because the Northern Cultivation Alliance is gradually moving to the Mountain of the Gods, I think it will be difficult to limit the rebuilt Gods Society and the forces that the Nine Great Dao Sect will relocate in the future. ”
Hongwu is taking eye medicine again.
Wei Long was noncommittal, looked at the Zhiling Mountain Lord, who was already pale, and said, "Do you have anything to add?"
The mountain lord of Zhiling had already scolded Hong Wu countless times in his heart, and he still had a little doubt.
At this time, he didn't have time to think about it, but said: "Your Excellency, you said that in the barren area, the Fire Phoenix Great Venerable gave two pieces of territory close to the northern land, and they were connected, on the one hand, it reduced the impact of this division of land, and on the other hand, it also made the rebuilt Gods Guild and the relocated Terran forces continue to fight among themselves.
I think the Fire Phoenix Venerable has understood what you mean.
You don't want to restore calm to the Savage Land, and you don't allow the three forces to unite with each other, so the Fire Phoenix Venerable has chosen a path that best caters to you and protects your own interests.
Also, I don't think we should get involved in it.
Not only that, but you promised that the Nine Great Dao Sect could relocate some of the Terran forces in the Northern Netherworld, and we can let them do it.
Just let them fight on their own. ”
The master of Zhiling Mountain observed his words and continued: "I have been constantly thinking about it in recent days, and every time I think of your three points of reckless land, I can't help but be amazed by your wisdom.
Leaving behind the barren land can give an explanation to the oldest and most powerful forces in the anode realm.
And dividing two pieces of territory can make the tripartite alliance even more cracked.
Even if the Fire Phoenix Venerable figured it out, he did lose two pieces of land.
And the Nine Great Dao Sect and the Feather God Dynasty have gained a piece of territory, and they will never hold it down, and they will inevitably find a way to expand.
Now that they are hindered by your prestige, they will never dare to provoke us, so they can only bully the weaker Qi Fengshan. ”
In the end, the Zhiling Mountain Lord was full of admiration, "I thought about it repeatedly, but I didn't know how wise it was to make such a wise decision." ”
