Chapter 683: Coalition Invasion
Under Jiang Nong's painstaking persuasion, Shanhe has slowly regained his rationality. But I was still a little worried about their safety, so I expressed my concerns.
After hearing this, he saw Jiang Nong shaking his head and replied:
"Sanke, this coalition is obviously coming for Emperor God Yin and cultivation resources, and it is driven by interests, not revenge. In order to prevent the conflict from escalating into a feud, they will theoretically not easily hurt your master and sister, so they have no worries about their lives. But the other disciples are not so lucky, there are very likely to be casualties in the course of the battle, and our most important job at the moment is to settle all the disciples of the Tun and Mengjie. ā
After hearing these words, Shanhe's heart felt a little better, and after weighing it repeatedly, he finally gave up his heart to rescue. With a ashamed face, he first admitted his mistake to Jiang Nong, and then called the guard brothers, Senior Brother Zhang and Senior Brother Li, together and discussed the notification route with Jiang Nong.
......
Twenty minutes later, Jiang Nong, Shanhe, Zhang and Li, the two senior brothers, returned to the Zhenling Pagoda with their front and back feet.
After the trip, the four of them had already called back all the disciples of the Tun and Mengjie in the sect.
Next, nearly 1,000 disciples entered the nine-story tower in an orderly manner under the guidance of Shanhe and Jiang Nong.
Due to the large number of people, the disciples were indeed too crowded to stand in the corridor, and it was a little difficult to go up and down the stairs.
Therefore, Shanhe opened all the cells of those prisoners who were not locked up, and let the disciples stay in them temporarily, which solved the problem of crowding.
After the last disciple entered the tower, in order to prevent the mountains and rivers from moving to save people again, Jiang Nong pulled him into the tower and closed the door with a bang.
"Uncle Shi, what should I do next?"
"What else can I do?
"When?"
"Wait until ...... I'll tell you when you get there! You weren't allowed to go out during that time, did you hear?"
"Well, you've been holding my arm, and I can't get out if I want to. ā
"Hmph! It's good to know! Don't worry, the Zhenling Tower is a hundred times stronger than the Panlong Array, and it is impossible for the enemy to attack it, so we just need to wait and see what happens." ā
"Then, then my master and Uncle Yuan ......," Shanhe said slightly worriedly.
"Alas, our task is to take care of these disciples in the tower. Something else...... There's nothing we can do about it. After speaking, I saw Jiang Nong's eyes closed and fell into silence.
......
The Zhenling Tower didn't even have a single window, and with so many people coming suddenly, it felt stuffy and dark.
Since they didn't know what was going on outside, the longer they stayed in the tower, the more impatient the disciples became, and the louder and louder the discussion became, giving them the feeling of being in the market.
After almost two hours, the scene was finally broken by a distant man's voice outside the tower:
"Fellow disciples of the Nangong Sect, your head, deputy head, and all the elders have been captured by us! Please come and surrender in front of the Honghuang Palace, otherwise there will be no mercy!"
As soon as the voice entered, Ear Jiang Nong recognized that the person who spoke was Du Jinyao, the head of Shushan.
Although it was not very true to hear it in the tower, this word did come from the direction of the Honghuang Palace, and there was still some distance from the Zhenling Tower.
From this point of view, it is very likely that the coalition forces have broken through the defense line laid by Yuan Songxi and invaded the faction.
Hearing this, the disciples in the tower suddenly became agitated!
There are many people who want to rush out of the tower to fight the enemy.
But soon, I heard Jiang Nong, who was standing in front of the door, shouting:
"Give me all the silence! What are you yelling about? Don't look at your own cultivation, is it useful for you to go out?"
Being yelled at by Jiang Nong like this, the tower instantly fell silent, and it didn't take long to hear Jiang Nong continue:
"The other party has seven cadre-level masters, a hundred Kun-rank elders, and a number of Tun-level disciples! It's up to you, can you do it? You are unhappy, I can understand it, because the old man is also in the same mood! But when you go out now, you can only be caught in a tie-down, and it is meaningless. As the saying goes, it's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, let's keep this account in our hearts today, and then settle it with the other party when we become strong in the future!"
On the one hand, it is out of awe of Jiang Nong, and on the other hand, everyone also knows that this is indeed the case.
So as soon as these words came out, the restlessness in the tower was immediately relieved a lot, although everyone was gritting their teeth in the heat, but no one rushed out of the tower like just now.
Five minutes later, seeing that no one appeared in front of the Honghuang Palace, Du Jinyao, who was standing in the center of the coalition army, once again raised his internal breath and shouted loudly to the surroundings:
"Fellow disciples of Nangong, we have come here for two purposes: one is to seek justice for Master Haiyin, and the second is to punish Nangong Men for his unscrupulous behavior, and we have no intention of harming you. So you don't need to worry, we won't kill innocents indiscriminately, and please come to the Honghuang Hall to surrender as soon as possible. ā
After hearing these words, the disciples in the tower had a heated discussion again, but they were much calmer than last time, and no one was clamoring to go outside to meet the enemy.
Seeing this, Jiang Nong breathed a sigh of relief. But just as he was about to close his eyes and settle down, he saw the mountains and rivers on the side come forward and asked in a whisper:
"Uncle Shi, did you say that Uncle Yuan and the other elders were really arrested?"
Although he didn't want to admit it, Jiang Nong still nodded and said:
"It should ...... It's true. Songxi was already inferior to each other, and it was not surprising that they were captured now. In addition, Du Jinyao was able to shout near the Honghuang Palace, and no one stood up to refute...... Alas, it is enough to show that they must have been defeated. ā
Hearing Jiang Nong confirm this, the only remaining hope in Shanhe's heart was also shattered.
Because once it invades the faction, just like the Eight-Nation Alliance back then, the enemy will inevitably loot the sect. As soon as he thought of this, Shanhe's face was full of frustration:
"That means that at this moment, the elixirs, weapons, cheats, and secret recipes of Emperor Shen Yin in our faction...... All of them were taken away by the other party?"
After listening to Shanhe's words, Jiang Nong did not rush to answer, but asked expressionlessly: "What do you think?"
"IāI think...... Definitely not at all!"
After hearing this, Shanhe said with a look of regret and hatred:
"The big array was destroyed, the defense line was lost, and even Yuan Shibo and they were arrested. Today's Nangong Gate is like an unguarded sheepfold, these wolf thieves have come in, so what are you going to see?"
"Well, that's true! The coalition forces are originally rushing for resources, and they will not leave easily if they don't get their hands on it. Jiang Nong nodded approvingly, but soon saw that his voice changed, and he looked at the mountains and rivers with a smile and asked in a low voice:
"Then what do you think, your master and Uncle Yuan ...... Can't you even think of that?"
