Chapter 465: Diverting the trouble to the east

It had only been less than a month since I returned from the General's Mansion, and the mummies that had walked out of the Eight Hundred Demonic Corpse Ridge had almost spread throughout the three northern cities.

The two cities of Beijiang and Beiling had to send a large number of monks to suppress them because of the trap. However, after a battle, they easily discovered the characteristics of mummies and living souls.

For these unkillable monsters, in the end we can only send out monks who are proficient in formations to set up [trap] formations to lock them away from their spiritual veins and mines.

But as the number of mummies and souls increases, the pressure on the other two cities besides Beiyue City is also increasing.

Of course, unlike the three-legged alliance in Beiyue City, Beijiang and Beiling cities are both city-lord systems.

Beijiang is dominated by the Zhao family, while Beiling is actually controlled by the Zhou family.

It is very rare for three major families to jointly control a city like Beiyue City, not to mention Pingdu Continent, even in Wu Chi Kingdom.

As the lord of Beijiang City and the head of the Zhao family, Zhao Minghan gradually felt that something was wrong.

In order to suppress the corpse tide, hundreds of high-grade spiritual stones, including the twelve surrounding immortal sects, had been consumed in less than a month, but even so, the corpse tide continued to pour out.

They can't be killed and suppressed all!

There is quite a situation that requires the power of the Immortal Gate City to resolve.

The same is true for the other Beiling City.

If you choose to turn a blind eye and sweep away the snow in front of each other, the consumption may not be that big, but once you take the initiative to suppress it, no matter how much the Immortal Sect accumulates, it will not be able to withstand such consumption!

In order to resolve the crisis caused by the corpse tide as soon as possible, Zhou Xingji had no choice but to take the initiative to find Beijiang City.

Although these two cities belong to the three cities in the north, they have always been neighbors facing each other, hearing the sounds of chickens and dogs, and the people have not interacted with each other until old age and death.

But this time they met, they both fell in love with each other.

Zhou Xingji is not old, but he is arrogant. He has a face that attracts the attention of female cultivators all over the world, and his whole body exudes a charming aura.

As a monk who has had a smooth journey since he was born, he took the position of the Lord of Beiling City with almost no obstacles. After all, the strength of the fourth level of Golden Core at the age of 26 is not something that anyone can match.

But Zhao Minghan is just the opposite.

This person belongs to the type of person who has accumulated a lot of experience but has little success. He is at the peak of foundation building at the age of forty and still at the peak of foundation building at the age of sixty.

Just when the entire Zhao family thought that if he failed to make any further progress, he would surely die and build the foundation, this man realized the Tao with one move, understood his true meaning, and stepped into the golden elixir in one fell swoop.

From then on, Zhao Minghan seemed to have had an enlightenment, and the chasm in the path of cultivation became smoother. In just ten years, he broke through from the first level of the golden elixir to the peak of the golden elixir, and was only one step away from entering the ranks of Nascent Soul.

What if Zhou Xingji was young and couldn't keep his temper?

After coming to pay homage, he went straight to the point: "City Lord Zhao, the nine immortal gates in Beiling City have now been closed. If this continues, Beiling City will definitely not be protected!"

Zhao Minghan naturally knew what the other party meant, but at this moment he could only smile bitterly: "How about Beijiang?"

"Brother Zhao, do you have any ideas?" Zhou Xingji didn't even care about the fine wine and food on the table. Even though these were delicacies, he had no intention of swallowing them at the moment.

However, Zhao Minghan picked up the wine glass unhurriedly, took a sip, and then said: "If City Lord Zhou doesn't come today, I will come to bother you in a few days."

"really?"

"I wonder if Brother Zhou has checked the historical materials in the city?"

Zhou Xingji was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.

"I asked someone to read all the records. The three northern cities and other immortal sects were all established a thousand years later. There are no records in Beijiang City further up."

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Xingji also noticed something was wrong.

"So, I suspect that the turmoil in the Eight Hundred Corpse Demon Ridge is not an accident."

In an instant, the city lord of Beiling City suddenly became alert. He looked at the other party with horrified eyes and said: "Are you saying that during the last turmoil, all the immortal gates in the three northern cities were wiped out?!"

Although Zhao Minghan didn't want to admit it, the facts were almost in front of him, and he couldn't help but doubt it.

"So, there are only two paths before us now."

"Brother Zhao, please enlighten me!"

Zhou Xingji came to visit because of this!

"The first way is to divert trouble to the east."

"How?"

"The three northern cities are just the names of Pingduzhou, but you should also know the relationship between them." Zhao Minghan paused and continued, "Beiyue City had the upper hand this time and did not fall for it, but we really took them seriously. Can you escape the relationship?"

"You mean to lead the tide of corpses into Beiyue City?"

"No, or more than that."

"And you are?"

"If it is only within Beiyue City, then there is a high probability that the situation will be the same as ours now. The major immortal sects will close their gates and let the zombies wander in the wilderness. In this way, they will not be able to be dragged into the water in a short time." Zhao Minghan has already thought of a countermeasure. , "Since the disaster is being diverted eastward, we must let this huge flood pour back into Beiyue City, forcing them to suppress it!"

"Led the tide of corpses to Beiyue City?!" Zhou Xingji was secretly shocked.

A city is different from an immortal gate. Take Beiling City as an example. There are nearly a million monks there!

If we really let the tide of corpses pour in, I'm afraid there will be countless casualties and a loss of life.

"right!"

"What about the second way?" Zhou Xingji still couldn't bear it.

"Go to the general's mansion and ask the general to send someone to come forward and mobilize the surrounding immortal sects to jointly suppress it! After all, the government promised to rule the entire Beiling and Beijiang territory, not just two cities!"

Zhao Minghan gave two choices.

But both choices are extremely difficult.

Either act as an executioner or completely break with the surrounding immortal gates, but after careful consideration, there seems to be no better way!

If there is, he will not come in person.

Finally, after weighing the pros and cons, Zhou Xingji gritted his teeth and said, "I choose the first one!"

Before the catastrophe comes, no one can stay out of it.

Of course, the nonsense that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility is just used to pump up the blood of cannon fodder.

No one is willing to make fearless sacrifices in the face of crisis.

Including Motai Mountain!

Nie Yuanzhi asked for three days, and after three days he would invite all the major immortal gates to discuss the return of the other fifty immortal peaks and thirteen mineral veins in Motai Mountain.

The former Qingyang Sect itself was the second largest immortal gate around the entire Beiyue City.

Whether it is territory or resources, it can be ranked.

But it is still not easy to let these immortal gates spit out the meat in their mouths!

Even though Chen Mo has made friends with the masters of the major sects, the sects are not theirs alone, and some things cannot be decided by them alone.

After returning to Motai Mountain, Chen Mo discussed with Song Yunxi, and taught three Lingzhifu disciples before returning to Ziyun Peak.

Yi Tingsheng and Zuo Qiuyun have been waiting here for a day.

But Chen Mo still hasn't put the trip to Nianyu Sect on the agenda.
