Chapter Forty-Eight: The Flames of War
Deacon Bai didn't say much to Qian Yang and the others, he felt that there was nothing to say to these two miners, if it weren't for the fact that these two of them were in the Jindan period, he wouldn't have bothered to say all the nonsense before, just dig well and stop fighting, where is there so much!
Qian Yang and Wu Qingshui were full and followed Yang Gong down the mine again.
Qian Yang gritted his teeth and shook off his arms to plane the wall, but Wu Qingshui forcibly pulled Yang Gong and whispered something there.
Qian Yang couldn't hear what the two said, but after the two finished speaking, Yang Gong seemed to have more strength when he raised the wall, but Wu Qingshui found a corner and sat down, and after a while, the upper and lower eyelids began to fight.
As soon as he saw this scene, how could Qian Yang not know that the two had reached an agreement, and that Master Wu really spent money to buy a break.
"Ding!" A pleasant system prompt sounded, Qian Yang picked at the wall for a while, and a fist-sized red stone appeared in his hand.
Brushing off the dust on the rough stone, Qian Yang smiled: It's finally opened!
The war is raging!
A large-scale conflict broke out between Duobaozong and Wuxingmen, and the war continued to escalate, and now Zhongzhou is full of devastation.
The two super sects of the Five Elements Sect and the Duobao Sect have been facing each other for many years, and there has always been constant friction, but because of the equal strength, no one can take advantage of it, and most of the sporadic battles have been controlled within a certain range, and both sides have restrained, and no large-scale battles have broken out.
However, this time, Wuxingmen found an opportunity to inflict heavy damage on the opponent.
A year ago, a scandal broke out in the Duobao Sect, and as one of the top major sects in the Tian Yuan Continent, he actually conspired to seize the treasures of the affiliated families.
As soon as this incident came out, the world was in an uproar, and the major families under the Duobao Sect were even more in danger.
Duobaozong knew that he was in the wrong, so he had to send people around to appease and try to maintain the situation.
And the Five Elements Sect found the orphans of the affiliated families who were murdered by the Duobao Sect out of nowhere, and kept fanning the flames outside, causing fires to break out everywhere inside the Duobao Sect.
With human and material evidence in hand, the Five Elements Gate occupies the commanding heights of morality, and the Duobao Sect is passive and abnormal, which is difficult to deal with.
In fact, speaking of which, the Duobao Sect family has a great cause, in comparison, the family that they plotted against is not worth mentioning at all, and the so-called conspiracy to seize the treasure is even more big or small. It is true that the nature is bad, but if it is suppressed, it is the disease of ringworm and scabies, and it will not shake the Duobao Sect at all.
But the development of Duobaozong has already encountered a bottleneck, and there are many internal contradictions, and there are many people who are dissatisfied with the current situation.
People's minds have changed, coupled with the temptation and temptation of people with hearts, some affiliated families of the Duobao Sect have the idea of dying.
Defected!
At first, it was just some small families on the periphery who voted for other parties, and the families with some real strength were still hesitant to wait and see.
And at this time, the one who fell into the well came!
Over the years, the strength of the Duobao Sect has already attracted dissatisfaction from many parties, and it has really squeezed the living space of many forces.
When there is nothing to do, these small forces can only swallow their anger. There are those who are not so upright, maybe they have to do some beautiful things with their conscience to add icing on the cake, but when there is something, there are many people who want to take advantage of the fire to rob.
Interestingly, the first people to throw stones into the well were the ones who had been the most diligent in delivering flowers before.
Of course, smashing stones also requires skill, and the cost of tearing your face is too high, and no one wants to do it until you have to, but find some excuses to raise the price in the transaction, suppress the payment, or take advantage of the daily cooperation, then the cost performance is very high.
The Duobao Sect has a deep family background, and it can barely withstand this level of suppression, but those affiliated families can't stand it.
The main source of income of the Duobao Sect is refining weapons, and in addition to the task of guarding some resources, most of the subordinate families also shoulder the mission of distribution, and the slightly larger families will also accept the refining of some crude raw materials or low-grade magic weapons and spiritual weapons.
The income of the affiliated family is not high, and most of the profits have to be handed over to the Duobao Sect, and now, there are stones all around, so this business is really impossible to do.
The things here can't be sold at a high price, and they can't get back the money if they are sold, and Duobaozong over there is still urging profits, and if you want to delay for a while, you have to be beaten by someone, and you can't let people live?
was already disgruntled, and there was no way to live, and more affiliated families began to waver.
At this time, Duobaozong's attitude suddenly hardened: Kill those who defect, kill those who have two hearts!
As for the failure to hand over profits in a timely manner...... This is a double heart, right?
You can't kill all of this, you have to check it!
There are too many families who can't pay their profits, and it's hard to say whether they really can't afford to pay or if they have other thoughts. As a result, there are more people who fight the autumn wind.
The first to stand up is the Luo family!
The Luo family is a big family under the Duobao Sect, and the scale is not much worse than that of ordinary small sects, and it has its own complete industrial chain.
The Luo family not only has a resource production area, but also a magic weapon refining process, and there is no shortage of sales channels, so it can be completely self-sufficient, and the sense of dependence on Duobaozong is actually more only reflected in the borrowing situation.
A family like the Luo family that has the ability to survive independently, and the relationship with the Duobao Sect is not close, the first head of the Luo family is from the Duobao Sect, but in recent generations, they have not made any name in the Duobao Sect.
As time passed, more than a dozen generations died, and the little incense in the early years has become faint as water.
The Luo family can still live without Duobaozong, which makes them confident, and when they deal with Duobaozong on weekdays, they don't bend their backs, and they don't invite some people to see them, so that the Luo family is beaten by Duobaozong a lot.
I didn't rely on Duobaozong to live, and if there was a problem with Duobaozong, I had to eat melons, and the Luo family was originally quite resentful of Duobaozong, this time I heard that Duobaozong actually sought to seize the property of the affiliated family, and the Luo family could be regarded as finding a reason to change the status quo.
The Luo family's internal calls for breaking away from the Duobao Sect continued, and the decision-making level of the Luo family couldn't suppress it, because they really couldn't find a reason to persuade everyone to stay.
Defection is supposed to defect, but what they have to face immediately is the risk of defection, especially at this time, the attitude of the Duobao Sect is extremely tough, and if they want to leave, they must face the sanctions of the Duobao Sect.
After all, there is going to be a fight!
Can you fight with Duobaozong? The Luo family is also instigated.
But some people don't coward!
As soon as he heard that there was an opportunity to severely damage the Duobao Sect, the Five Elements Gate came to the spirit, and immediately gave the Luo family a generous condition that could not be refused, and even promised that as long as the Luo family was willing to betray the Duobao Sect, the Five Elements Gate would contribute to ensure that the Luo family would move smoothly out of the sphere of influence of the Duobao Sect, and from then on, the sky would be high and the birds would fly.
The benefits are visible, the risks are controllable, and the Luo family's defection from Duobaozong is a foregone conclusion.
In order to win this relocation battle and minimize the risk, in addition to borrowing the power of the Five Elements Gate, the Luo family also used the connections and heritage accumulated for several generations. Buying magic weapons, buying spiritual weapons, borrowing soldiers, borrowing medicines, even the children who have been stationed in Dongfen over the years have been secretly recruited back, and even hired a powerful armed force from somewhere.
The Luo family, armed to the teeth, together with the Five Elements Sect, fought a shocking battle with the Duobao Sect.
The battle was much more tragic than expected, and the determination of the Duobao Sect to eradicate the traitors was much stronger than expected.
In addition to the necessary manpower to guard the sect and the guards stationed in various places, the Duobao Sect almost poured out, only the Yuanying monks dispatched more than ten people, more than 100 Jindan monks, and countless foundation disciples.
The battle was opened by the Duobao Sect, no nonsense, no need to explain. Duobao Sect is domineering! I'm here to destroy you!
As soon as the two sides fought, the Luo family and the Five Elements Gate suffered heavy losses.
At this time, the Luo family had no way out, and it was too late not to regret it, so there was only one way left.
Fortunately, the Five Elements Sect is not a vegetarian, and it has been fighting against the Duobao Sect for many years, and the abnormal personnel of the other party cannot hide it from them, but it takes time to deal with it.
After the Luo family and the disciples of the Five Elements Sect withstood the first wave of attacks of the Duobao Sect at the cost of more than half of the casualties, reinforcements arrived in due time.
The elite of the Five Elements Sect gathered, and the elites of the five halls outside the Flame Hall, the Tempest Hall, the Houtu Hall, the Lingmu Hall, and the Tianshui Hall gathered, and under the leadership of the Sect Elder Niu, they went around to the back of the Duobao Sect that was deep in the battlefield, and stabbed it down with a knife.
The feud between the Duobao Sect and the Five Elements Sect is as deep as the sea, and the war is a life-and-death struggle together.
Different from the battle of opening the mountain gate Wuliang Valley, where soldiers fight against generals and soldiers, the two super sects have no worries, let alone superfluous thoughts, and only fight to the death.
A Yuanying monk of the Duobao Sect was struck by a lightning strike from Elder Niu of the Five Elements Gate, and as soon as he raised his hand in the crowd, he exploded his flying sword, and the three Jindan monks of the Five Elements Sect were immediately shattered, and their flesh and blood were splashed.
Elder Niu chased and killed, and the Yuanying Monk of the Duobao Sect released the golden shield to firmly protect his body, but Elder Niu abandoned him, and the boiling flames erupted, burning several disciples of the Duobao Sect into charcoal.
The battle was extremely fierce, and the disciples of the Five Elements Sect and the Duobao Sect were red-eyed, and the background of the disciples of the sect was fully revealed.
Compared with these sects, the combat power of the children of the Luo family is not enough, and they are unconsciously squeezed out of the center of the battlefield, and those who have no time to retreat are the only fate to become cannon fodder.
In three days and two nights, more than half of the two super sects were damaged, and the Luo family did not have one out of ten, but the two hundred black-scarve-masked mercenaries did not suffer much loss.
After all, it is to make money, and no hatred or grudge can not play with life, and although these people are average in strength, they are skilled in battle formation, and they are not greedy for merit, they just encircle and suppress some lone Duobao Sect disciples on the periphery, and their sense of existence is not strong, and no one deliberately goes to trouble them.
There was a sudden shout on the battlefield, Elder Niu didn't check for a while, and was attacked by three Duobao Sect Yuan Infants, suffered heavy injuries, and fell off the field, and the three Yuan Babies did not give up, chased after them, and were about to kill Elder Niu on the spot.
Elder Niu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and smiled, his spiritual power rolled, dark clouds covered the sky, and countless lightning bolts appeared out of thin air, gathering into a ball, wrapping him and the three Yuan Babies inside.
There was no sound, green smoke drifted by, and Elder Niu and the three Duobao Sect monks dissipated like dust......
The battle continued, and the Duobao Sect, which had lost three Yuanying Cultivators all of a sudden, was a little unable to resist the enemy, and the balance of war gradually tilted towards the Five Elements Gate.
There was no way to do anything, the remaining Yuanying monks of the Duobao Sect took the opportunity to retreat, the Jindan monks scattered and fled, and the disciples of Zhuji were wiped out under the cover of the Five Elements Gate.
Five Elements Gate, a crushing victory!
Duobaozong lost the first battle, losing the Luo family, losing mobile combat power, and more importantly, losing deterrence.
After this battle, dozens of affiliated families under the Duobao Sect took the opportunity to rebel and find another home. The Duobao Sect was on fire everywhere but had no combat strength to deal with it, and for a while, there was a tragic meaning that some trees fell and scattered.
The Five Elements Gate also suffered heavy losses, but the good situation did not allow them to lick their wounds.
The smoke was everywhere, and the remnants of the Five Elements Gate were scattered everywhere, cooperating with the relocation of affiliated families in various places, and also taking advantage of the situation to receive the resource production areas on the periphery of the Duobao Sect.
Duobaozong did not dare to fight again, it collapsed at the slightest touch, quickly contracted, gave up the peripheral areas, and retreated to the shore of the Linghe River with all its available combat power, put on heavy defenses, and waited for the attack of the Five Elements Gate with the momentum of mourning soldiers.
The Five Elements Gate did not dare to move lightly, gathering the main force to confront the Duobao Sect across the river, and at the same time stepping up its pace to digest the resource producing areas that were thrown down by the Duobao Sect.
At this time, the Duobao Sect had no way out, and behind them was the Dragon and Phoenix Gold Mine, which was the lifeblood of the Duobao Sect. If it is lost, there will be no more treasures in the world.
Months have passed in a hurry, and the Five Elements Gate has finally succeeded in taking over the vast territory abandoned by the Duobao Sect, and the battle of the Dragon and Phoenix Mine is already on the line.
