Just after Ye Chen, Wu Li and a large group of treasure hunting monks rushed out of the passage exit of Earth Flame Mountain, it took almost a moment for Xu Shen, the head of the Fire Worship Gate, and Xu Wei, the master of the Young Sect, who were originally on the second floor of Earth Flame Mountain, to the exit of the passage on the first floor of Earth Flame Mountain.

The monks on the first floor of the Earth Flame Mountain were almost gone, and at the exit of the passage at this time, only a dozen or so Flame Gate worshippers were left to clean up the mess.

Xu Zhangmen saw the corpses all over the ground inside and outside the exit of the passage, and the traces of fighting methods left by the fierce battle, and his face turned pale.

He had been hesitating before, whether to kill the entire Earth Flame Mountain's treasure hunter monks with a ruthless hand, and completely annihilate all the information on this Earth Flame Mountain. But before he could make a decision, there was a big change. He received the news on the second floor of Earth Flame Mountain and rushed over, but he was still a step too late.

"The master, his subordinates were ordered to guard the exit of the Earth Flame Mountain, but a group of treasure hunters suddenly rushed out. The subordinates tried desperately to intercept them, but they were unable to intercept them. The subordinate guards are not good, please punish the master!"

The monk in the late stage of foundation building who was in charge of guarding the exit was Ma Yu, one of the henchmen of the head of Xu, and when he saw that the head of the sect had such an ugly face, he couldn't help but sweat all over his head and fell to the ground on one knee.

"How many people ran away?"

Master Xu's face sank.

"They have five foundation building cultivators and hundreds of Qi refining stage cultivators. The subordinates and others tried their best to intercept them, and only killed dozens of their monks, and most of the rest ran away. ”

Ma Yu hurriedly said.

"Head, do you want your subordinates and others to chase after you?"

Immediately, the Tsukiki monk of the Fire Gate asked.

"There's no need for this, there is still a way to chase and kill a few people, but after running hundreds of treasure hunting monks, the reckless mountains around this Flame Mountain, even if you chase and kill with all your might, there will definitely be fish that slip through the net. Once it spreads, the infamy of wantonly slaughtering fellow believers cannot afford it. The foundation guards of the three exit passages have been removed, and there is no need to defend them anymore. During this time, there were too many treasure hunters in and out of the Earth Flame Mountain, and all the intelligence information in the Earth Flame Mountain seemed to be unsealable. However, the old man was even more worried that after the Tianxu Gate got the news of this Earth Flame Mountain, he would send people to fight for the spiritual land. ”

Master Xu shook his head, his expression becoming more and more gloomy.

All the Fire monks present fell silent.

The Flame Gate occupies the Earth Flame Mountain, which is a matter that offends the Tianxu Immortal Gate, and there must be no good fruit to eat if the Tianxu Gate knows about it. But if they don't occupy it, such a large piece of fat will be given away, and there will be no more shares of the monks of the Fire Gate in this large spiritual land.

The Flame Worship Gate wants to survive in the cracks of the Nine Great Immortal Gates of Yunzhou, and there are not a few large spiritual lands in their hands, how can they grow stronger?! So knowing that they will offend the Tianxu Gate, they still secretly operate in this Flame Mountain.

It's just that the head didn't make a decision, and he was determined to fight with the Tianxu Gate, and their subordinates were at a loss.

Master Xu was silent for a while, and then issued a series of orders in one breath, "Ma Yu, you immediately take a team of monks to the nearest Xingnan Kingdom, control the royal family of Xingnan Kingdom by all means, mobilize the army of the whole country of Xingnan Kingdom, go out to the Ulan Empire, and capture the Xingzhou County of Ulan. Xingnan borders the Ulan Empire and can take Xingzhou County in the shortest possible time.

Peng Yi, you take a heavy gift to the Ulan Imperial Capital, bribe the ministers and important generals of the Ulan Court, and encourage the Ulan Court to give up Xingzhou County and cede it to Xingnan Kingdom. Before Tianxumen knew that there was an Earth Flame Mountain in Xingzhou County, Xingzhou County did not belong to the Ulan Empire, so Tianxumen had no excuse to forcibly ask me to worship Huomen and give up Earth Flame Mountain.

This must be grasped quickly, otherwise Tianxumen knows the importance of Xingzhou County, and let the Ulan Empire make every effort to keep Xingzhou County, and Xingnan may not be able to seize Xingzhou County from the Ulan Empire. I'm going to be passive!"

"Yes! The two of them will do it. ”

Ma Yu and Peng Yi, the two henchmen in charge, looked heavy, and immediately received the order, each with a small team of monks, and left the Earth Flame Mountain to carry out the mission in the two countries.

"Dad, what about me?!"

Xu Wei followed behind his father Xu Shen and hurriedly asked.

"You follow me. Once the Heavenly Void Gate makes a move, sending monks to capture the Earth Flame Mountain will be a bloody battle, and you must be prepared to face it. ”

Master Xu glanced at him and said angrily.

"Yes!"

Xu Wei hurriedly said.

Master Xu looked at the dark red Earth Flame Mountain, his deep face was full of indifference, and he kept thinking in his heart.

The power of the Tianxu Gate is extremely large, but the Fire Worship Gate is not without a chance of victory.

The Tianxu Sect has a big business and a lot of territory, and monks are needed everywhere to guard it. will not give up their original territory and send all their strength over. The monks who can really be drawn here are some monks who are usually "idle", and naturally this number will not be too much.

On the contrary, Baihuomen does not have much family business, so he can transfer all the manpower over and defend this Earth Flame Mountain.

The Tianxu Gate side only used a small part of its strength, while the Fire Gate side went all out, and this was the only chance for the Fire Gate.

If Tianxumen doesn't know how many mineral interests are available in the Earth Flame Mountain, and finds that it is not cost-effective to fight to the death with the Fire Worship Gate, and the harvest is not as good as the loss, the Fire Worship Gate still has a chance to occupy this Earth Flame Mountain.

"Now there are many treasure hunters who know about the situation on the second floor of Earth Flame Mountain, and it is extremely difficult to block the news. ”

Xu Zhangmen was annoyed in his heart.

He even wanted to be ruthless and wipe out the more than 2,000 treasure hunters in the Earth Flame Mountain in one go, blocking the information of the Earth Flame Mountain to the greatest extent. It's a pity that after a little hesitation, hundreds of treasure hunters ran away, and now it's too late to start.

If you want to snatch food from the territory of Tianxumen and occupy the large spiritual land of Earth Flame Mountain, you can only make an idea from the Xingnan Kingdom and the Ulan Empire.

The reason why we started from these two secular realms to seize the spiritual land involved a rule of dividing the territory of power between the nine immortal sects of the Yunzhou Immortal Cultivation Realm - the Nine Great Immortal Sects control the various secular realms in Yunzhou, and each secular realm competes for the territory in Yunzhou. If the secular kingdom fails to compete for territory, the Xianmen will withdraw from this territory. The purpose of this is to try to avoid direct fighting between the monks of the Nine Great Immortal Sects, and to lose the strength of the Nine Great Immortal Sects in vain.

This rule was set by the Nine Great Immortal Sects and has been implemented for thousands of years.

The various secular countries in Yunzhou have been conquered for many years, the army has suffered huge losses, and even countless large and small countries have been destroyed, but the strength of the nine immortal gates in Yunzhou has almost never been weakened, but has become stronger and stronger.

But then again, the rules are all set by the strong.

The power of the Nine Great Immortal Sects is extremely huge, and whether or not the newly popped Little Immortal Gate will talk about this rule is uncertain in Xu Zhangmen's heart.

The strong with strength make the rules and can change the rules at any time, and the weak without strength can only accept the rules.

In case one day the Void Gate doesn't plan to talk to the Fire Worship Gate about the rules at all, it will be a bloody battle between the naked immortal gates

Half a day later.

Ye Chen drove the flying sword, and Immortal Master Kong and Venerable Wu rode the spirit crane and flew to the vicinity of Xingzhou City.

It was the first time that Immortal Master Kong and Venerable Wu had ridden a spirit crane to fly in the sky, and they were pleasantly surprised. However, they still had the panic of escaping from the dangerous place, and they did not dare to stay in Xingzhou County for long.

"Brother Ye Dao, what are we doing in Xingzhou City? This place is very close to the Earth Flame Mountain Spirit Land, and there are some hidden Flame Worship Sect monks operating in the city. When we appear in Xingzhou City, I am afraid that we will meet the monks of the Fire Worship Gate. It's safer to leave the Ulan Empire and go to another country. ”

Immortal Master Kong said loudly against the wind.

The three of them landed in a remote wilderness near Xingzhou City.

Xingzhou County was originally a thousand miles of fertile land, and the outside of the city was all cultivated fields, but because of the drought, it became a wilderness with no people.

Kong and Wu jumped off the back of the crane.

"Of course there are important things to do. Let's go and see the county lord alone. ”

Ye Chen said calmly, and collected the flying sword and spirit crane. What he wants to do next needs Wang Lin, the county lord of Xingzhou County, Ulan Guoxingzhou, to contribute.

"Seeing the county lord alone, I'm afraid there is no way, she is protected by a Taishi of the Heavenly Void Immortal Sect beside her, and she is almost always on the left and right. Brother Ye Dao wants to see the county lord alone, and the Taishi is worried about the safety of the county lord, so he will definitely not agree. ”

Immortal Master Kong was very puzzled.

"Then see the county lord and the princess!"

Ye Chen said with a smile.

"With Brother Ye Dao's strength, you can't see anyone you want! Not to mention the county lord, even Emperor Ulan can see him if he wants to. ”

Venerable Wu laughed.

Immortal Master Kong thought about it and felt that it was too.

Kong and Wu had a noble status in Xingzhou City, and the soldiers and officials who guarded the city recognized the two of them, and the three of them entered the county lord's mansion unimpeded.

When the three of them came to the county lord's mansion, there was silence in the heavily guarded county lord's mansion.

In the lobby of the county lord's mansion, Wang Lin, the county lord and dozens of important ministers and generals of the Xingzhou Mansion, as well as more than a dozen monks and guest secretaries, were discussing the drought.

In the past month, the drought has shown no signs of abating, but has become more and more severe, and the food transported from other states and counties of the Ulan Empire cannot meet the food shortage of millions of soldiers and civilians, and there are people and unrest everywhere.

The ministers of the Heungju County Governor's Office have been divided into two factions, one faction believes that it is not known when the drought will end, and instead of waiting, it is better to evacuate the millions of soldiers and civilians from Xingju County. The other faction believes that if one million soldiers and civilians are evacuated from Xingzhou County, where will these soldiers and civilians go to live in peace? There are people in other prefectures and counties in Ulan State, and it is difficult to have arable land to resettle so many soldiers and civilians. It is better to ask for help from the Ulan court, insist on relief from the drought, wait for rain, and alleviate the drought in Xingzhou County.

The ministers of the two factions often quarreled violently over this issue, arguing for months.

It's not that Lord Wang Lin is indecisive. It's just that no matter which decision it is, it is a matter of great importance, and it involves the livelihood of millions of soldiers and civilians, and it is very troublesome, which leads to a long delay. Moreover, many of the civil and military officials in the county lord's mansion were secretly bribed by the Worship of Fire Gate and advocated the abandonment of Xingzhou, which made the situation even more complicated.

In the lobby, Wang Lin, the county lord, the prince, the ministers of civil and military affairs, and the monks and guest secretaries, couldn't help but be stunned when they saw Ye Chen, Kong Immortal Master, and Venerable Wu appearing together.
