"It's a pity, if you can take this opportunity to launch a counteroffensive, you will definitely be able to hit the Canghai Prefecture side hard. The Linglong Fairy whispered, but she was just thinking about it, now in the Quartet Battlefield, the losses in their northern battlefield were still slightly lower, and the other battlefields were either low-level disciples with heavy losses, or the commander was assassinated, and it was difficult to organize an effective counterattack at all.

Moreover, the commander of the Canghai Prefecture side is not a fool, just looking at the strictness of the lineup when he retreated, it is not difficult to know that the other side has already prepared to be counterattacked, in this case, if it chooses to go to war, the Dongzhou side may not be able to gain much advantage.

"That's it, go back. After some thought, the fairy said, and then everyone rode the war fortress across the void and left.

The war fortress flew at full speed, shuttling above the lofty mountains, from the northern frontier to the Linglong Valley station, the distance was almost tens of millions of miles, such a distance was not far for the emperor and the strong, but if he carried an army of nearly a million monks, it was really far away if he did not rely on the war fortress to travel.

On the way, one monk after another left, all of them went to their respective tribal families to check the situation with a heavy heart, and at this time, because they had already entered the Linglong Valley station, they naturally no longer needed to worry about the enemy suddenly appearing from where.

In the end, only the disciples of the Yanhuang tribe were left on the war fortress, and everyone else who was concerned was allowed to temporarily return home to see their relatives.

In the end, the war fortress stopped in the sky above the mountain range outside Linglong Valley, and the Linglong Fairy and the other high-level officials disappeared with a flash, allowing Xia Mu to leave on his own.

......

The breeze blows, and the scenery of the mountains and rivers below continues to drift backwards.

Xia Mu rode against the wind, crossing the vast grasslands, crossing the steep mountains, and the gloomy swamps full of strange insects and poisonous beasts.

Linglong Valley is not close to the Qiankun Holy Courtyard, but it is not very far away, and there is a Yanhuang tribe in the middle, so if Xia Mu wants to return to the Qiankun Holy Courtyard, he must cross the territory of the entire Yanhuang tribe.

Of course, in fact, he could borrow the teleportation array in Linglong Valley to directly teleport back to the Qiankun Holy Courtyard, but because he already knew that the current status of the Qiankun Holy Courtyard was quite safe, Xia Mu was not in a hurry to rush back, but chose to fly back slowly, enjoying the beautiful scenery of the mountains and rivers of Dongzhou and exercising his state of mind at the same time.

Although this may not be of any use, for the current Xia Mu, it may be much more useful to improve his own realm than to improve his cultivation.

The territory of the Yanhuang tribe is very famous in Dongzhou, because they occupy almost the most advantageous land in the entire Dongzhou, although the territory of the other nine caves of heaven and blessing is not bad, but it is still slightly inferior to the Yanhuang tribe.

Ahead, the red mountain peaks are like crystal coral in the sea, so ruddy that they slightly emit a little red light, this is the red Yan mine, a kind of heavenly high-grade mineral material, and it only exists in the territory of the Yanhuang tribe, and it is an excellent material for refining fire attribute spirit treasures.

Xia Mu passed by here and stopped slightly, but he didn't get too close, because he knew that a place like this would definitely be guarded by the elders and disciples of the Yanhuang tribe, and if he got too close, it would inevitably cause some unnecessary incidents.

However, when Xia Mu saw that there were many monks walking on the mountain, and people were coming and going, he felt a little puzzled, because the clothes worn by these people obviously did not belong to the Yanhuang tribe, and seemed to be more like scattered cultivation.

He landed in the mountains and asked a man what was going on here and why.

"Don't you know, now in order to deal with the attack of Canghai Prefecture, the ten major caves and blessed lands have opened up some mines in their respective spheres of influence, as long as you choose to join the army, you can enter these mines to find the refining materials you need, at the moment these people are nearby scattered cultivators, and they are planning to refine a weapon to prepare for the front line. Someone replied.

Xia Mu knew in his heart that if the war between Dongzhou and Canghai Prefecture wanted to win, it would definitely be a good way to make good use of the large number of casual cultivation, but after all, the life of other people's casual cultivation was also their life, and not everyone was willing to go to the battlefield and risk life and death in order to protect their homeland.

At this time, it is natural to need some external interests to attract these loose cultivators to take the initiative to join the army, obviously the Chiyan mine in front of them is part of the interests, and most of them also have provisions such as military exploits.

Soon, Xia Mu knew more about the situation, because there were many people coming and going, and someone explained.

"Nowadays, in order to attract the strong people in the scattered cultivation to join, the Ten Great Caves Heavenly Blessed Land has opened up a lot of resources, including some extremely precious mineral deposits and elixir gardens, the higher the cultivation level, the more rare the resources will be, but the corresponding responsibility will be greater. ”

Xia Mu is not surprised by this, the Ten Cave Heavenly Blessed Land is not a charity house, since these resources have been opened, it is natural to charge an equivalent return, but it is difficult to say how many scattered cultivators can be attracted to join.

After all, although the vast majority of casual cultivators are quite poor, the really strong people, even if they are born in casual cultivation, can also get the cultivation resources they want through various means, otherwise it is impossible to stand out from the casual cultivation, for these people, ordinary treasures are obviously difficult to impress them.

Moreover, there is also a hidden danger in recruiting strong cultivators, that is, in terms of management, generally speaking, the disciples of the scattered cultivators and sects do not welcome each other, and there is a vague sense of hostility towards each other, so if the two sides are in the same room, it will inevitably cause some friction and disputes.

If this happens, how to deal with it is obviously a headache, because it is not good to favor either side.

"Have you recruited any strong people at present?" Xia Mu asked further, because he had been away from Dongzhou for too long, he really didn't know what kind of strong people had come out of his scattered cultivation over the years.

"I heard that the major caves and blessed lands have recruited a lot, and it is certain that there are immortal realm and immortal realm scattered cultivators among them, as for who they are, it is not very clear, after all, with our status, we can't come into contact with the existence of that level. ”

The solicitation is definitely recruited, but there are also some hermit masters in the casual cultivation, they have good strength, but their names may not be known to outsiders.

For example, a loose cultivator in the immortal realm named Xiaohan, it is rumored that he was a prince of the royal family of the Qin State back then, and he broke away from the Qin State because he did not like to compete for fame and fortune, and traveled all over the world.

"I heard that the strength of this Xiaohan senior is similar to that of the head of the Ten Great Caves Heavenly Blessed Land, and it may even be stronger. ”

"Shhhh Don't talk nonsense, there are disciples of the Yanhuang tribe around here, beware of them making trouble for you. Someone interrupted.

This surprised Xia Mu, if the strength of this Xiaohan predecessor was really so strong, maybe he would have to reassess the overall strength of the scattered cultivation, you must know that under normal circumstances, the strength of the same realm of casual cultivation is not as good as that of the sect disciples, because there are already many gaps in the spiritual arts and treasures, and the only thing that may be better than the scattered cultivation is probably the actual combat experience.

However, in the case of a huge gap in strength, it is obvious that actual combat experience cannot play much role.

However, there is no doubt about one thing, if someone can cultivate to the immortal or even eternal realm with a scattered cultivation body, such a person is absolutely extremely terrifying and should not be underestimated.
