Chapter 102: Qingyang Gate
The Wu'an Army has been at war with the sects in the Jiuyou Realm for more than two hundred years, and both sides have done this kind of thing frequently.
For example, back in the world of Ciyun, Venerable Tian Jue sacrificed an An Zi with a third-level magical power and assassinated Shen Zhui at the cost of his life.
The sectarian alliance has this trick, and so does the Wu'an Army.
In the past, Shen Zhui's status was not enough to allow him to access such secrets, but now he can access most of the files.
There are spies lurking in the sectarian alliance to secretly gather information, and there are also assassins who assassinate important figures in the sectarian world.
However, the fewer people who know about being an undercover agent, the better, and the longer the agent is undercover, the greater its importance and confidentiality!
Shen Zhui is not qualified to review files that are over a hundred years old! Because that may involve high-level supernatural powers, or even the lurking of the Venerable!
However, he did not need to know much advanced information for this trip.
As long as he can have a reasonable identity after entering the Jiuyou Realm.
After entering the secret volume room, Shen Zhui hurriedly checked the list of secrets in the past thirty years.
You won’t know if you don’t look at it, but you will be shocked when you look at it.
The list of hidden spies deployed in the past thirty years actually exceeds 10,000 people!
From the sect elders to the handyman disciples, almost all classes are included! The huge number of spies formed a huge intelligence network!
Shen Zhui searched for older information and found files that were nearly a hundred years old, and even the Venerable level appeared in them!
"The Great Peripheral Army has planted so many spies in the sect alliance. It's really scary." Shen Zhui felt a little numb.
In comparison, an undercover agent like Hao Lihai who was in the spirit bridge realm was nothing at all.
It can be lurking for decades, it’s scary to think about it!
Just when Shen Zhui was about to take a closer look...
"Shua~" A figure suddenly appeared in the vast secret volume room.
"My subordinate has met the Marquis." Shen Zhui saluted quickly.
"Why are you checking this?" Marquis Wu An asked.
"I want to go to the Nine Nether Realm." Shen Zhui said.
"Oh, is it for your sworn sister?" Marquis Wu An asked.
"Yes." Shen Zhui nodded. "She was kidnapped by the Guiyuan Sect in her early years, and it has been ten years now."
"My subordinates have been searching for news about Guiyuan Sect for a long time, and now I finally have a chance. I want to take her back before she makes any mistakes."
"It would be inconvenient for others to go. Only my subordinates can go there in person." Shen Zhui explained.
It would be uneasy to leave this matter to others. If there is too much noise, it will scare others away. If the power is too small, it may delay time and cause more troubles.
So after Shen Zhui heard the news about Guiyuan Hall, he decided to go to Guiyuan Sect in person.
Only I, because I have practiced the Formless Magic Kung Fu, am much more sure than others.
"You came just in time." Marquis Wu An nodded.
"I just have something to tell you."
"Master Marquis, please speak." Shen Zhui said.
"Whoa~" Many jade slips placed on the counter in the secret room suddenly levitated, and soon some of them flew in front of Shen Zhui.
"There are one hundred and thirty pieces of information here, all of which are sectarian figures who defected to Wu'an Army back then."
"However, due to various reasons, they have not contacted Wu Anjun for a long time."
"You are going on this trip. I will give you a task, which is to re-establish contact with them. Collect intelligence and unify this force!"
"Your Majesty has crossed a boundary, made too much noise, and lowered his status. It will be difficult to convince the public."
"You go, it's just right."
"I obey." Shen Zhui nodded.
"However, we will start attacking by the end of February at most."
"If you can't come back in time, the degree of danger will be greatly increased. You can make your own decision." Marquis Wu An said.
"My subordinate understands." Shen Zhui said in a deep voice.
Buzz~ Marquis Wu An quickly disappeared into the secret room.
Going to the Nine Nether Realm is a dangerous mission, but as Marquis Wu An said, if he wants to become a Marquis, he must have outstanding merits. Have to perform dangerous missions.
Not only him, Marquis Wu An also needed a clean victory.
If we attack at the end of February, the battle will have to be completed by the end of April at the most. Otherwise, if it drags on for a long time, it will not be a satisfactory answer to the court.
After thinking about it, Shen Zhui began to check the one hundred and thirty pieces of information.
If you want to bring Shen Xinlan back, you must first sneak into the Guiyuan Sect.
If you want to sneak into the Guiyuan Sect, the best way is of course to have a reasonable identity.
After searching for a moment, Shen Zhui fell into deep thought.
"In the past thirty years, there have been many powerful figures from third-rate sects and above in Anzi. These people are either elders or heads of sects, but they have long since defected to the Wu'an Army."
"But those who meet the requirements for disguise are basically the Qingyang Sect, the Taimo Sect, and the Divine Eagle Sect."
Some of these hidden secrets are the support of the entire sect's top leaders, while some are only one or two figures.
Since I was going to Guiyuan Sect to observe the ceremony, in order to reduce accidents, I pretended to have a low status. Because my status was low, if the senior officials didn't take me there, it would be in vain. Fastest update PC version::/
It doesn't matter if you have a high status, such as the leader of a faction. It is too eye-catching. If you make any movement inside, people will notice it, making it difficult to move around.
Qingyang Sect, Taimo Sect, and Shenying Sect, two righteous and one evil, are all second-rate sects, but they are at the bottom of the second-rate sect, and there are not many disciples, and it is easy to change their appearance.
Because the figures in power in these three sects are all members of the Wu'an Army, there is no need to go to great lengths.
After thinking about it, Shen Zhui ruled out the Eagle Cult first.
The skills taught by the Divine Eagle are somewhat special and cannot be disguised.
Afterwards, Shen Zhui hesitated for a moment and chose Qingyang Gate.
Because of the Demon Sect's skills, disguise is equally troublesome.
The Qingyang Sect has a very small number of people and has long since declined. Although it has never been hidden from the world, it has few disciples. In its heyday, the number of core disciples did not exceed 500. And in recent years, its reputation has been at the tail end of the list among second-rate sects.
It's completely in line with Shen Zhui's desire to keep a low profile.
The only fly in the ointment is that Qingyang Sect currently only has three people in the magical realm, one master with peak magical powers and two disciples with third-level magical powers.
Pretending to be a master is a bit too high, pretending to be a disciple is a bit too low.
Moreover, the last time the Qingyang Sect contacted the Wu'an Army was seven years ago, and they don't know what the situation is now.
"Forget it, go to Qingyang Gate first. If the situation is not optimistic, then go to Taimo Sect." Shen Zhui finally made a decision.
…………
On January 25th, the clones of Tanlang and Fengxing returned, carrying a large amount of treasure materials and handed them over to Zen Xin.
On January 26, Shen Zhui started the smelting of the second level of Qijuetian, integrating 10 million world stones into the cave world. As for the seven important treasures, only the materials needed for three of them were collected and handed over to Zen Heart for further refining.
On January 27, with only three days left before the Guiyuan Ceremony began, Shen Zhui quietly left Wanfeng City.
South bank of Canglan River.
The space trembled slightly.
"Shuashua~" Two figures appeared on the bank of the Canglan River, it was Shen Zhui and Tanlang.
"Your Highness, we can only send him here." Tanlang said. "When the Venerable crosses the Canglan River, it will be easily discovered just like when people from the sect alliance enter the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty."
"I understand." Shen Zhui nodded. "Ganlang, please wait for me here."
"Don't worry, Your Highness, as long as you decide to come out, get close to the Canglan River, and crush the token I gave you, I will sense it immediately and rush over to take you back."
"I hope I don't need to trouble you." Shen Zhui said with a smile. "It's best if I sneak back by myself."
"Your Highness, be careful."
"knew."
Shen Zhui took a deep breath, his body immediately sank into the ground, hiding his figure, and quickly sneaked towards the other side of the Canglan River.
…………
Any well-established sect basically has two mountain gates.
One is the old nest in the Jiuyou Realm.
The second is to establish a mountain gate station in the vast Jiuyou Mountains of the world.
The small sects that Shen Zhui killed at the beginning were in a worse situation. Their mountain gate could only be built in the Jiuyou Mountains of the Great Thousand World.
In times of crisis, only the sect leader level could escape into the Nine Nether Realm.
And you have to use the connections of a major sect.
If you want to be qualified to be a permanent resident in the Nine Nether Realm, you must work for the sect alliance.
Stationing in many military cities north of the Canglan River is the most common method.
If you guard the magical power realm for a hundred years, you can enter the Nine Nether Realm and gain a place.
Lingqiao realm must be exchanged for the head-counted battle merits of the Zhou soldiers.
Kill a hundred people of the same level to gain permanent residence in the Nine Nether Realm!
As for those below the Lingqiao realm, if the sect itself was not powerful and had territory in the Jiuyou realm, they would not even be qualified to kill the enemy in exchange for land.
He can only linger in the vast world, trying to break through to the Spirit Bridge Realm, so as to get the slightest chance.
As for the casual cultivators, since the establishment of the sect alliance and the establishment of this rule, there have been very few, and basically they have defected to the sect.
The sect grading system first fixed the number of sects at the first and second-rate levels.
For example, there are only fifty places for first-rate sects, only 500 for second-rate sects, and there are no restrictions for third-rate sects. Anyone in the Lingqiao realm who has paid a protection fee to the sect alliance can establish a sect and create their own sect.
If you want to upgrade your sect, there is only one way.
That’s the sectarian challenge!
If a third-rate sect can kill a second-rate sect, then you are a second-rate sect!
It is hosted by the three super sects and creates an independent space.
The two sides fight each other, the winner goes up and the weak goes down!
This rule also makes the competition between sects extremely cruel!
"I don't know what went wrong with the Qingyang Sect for not contacting Wu Anjun for so many years."
"They shouldn't have been killed, right?" Shen Zhui stood on a high mountain, looking in all directions.
At this moment, he had arrived at the area of the sect boundary and had bypassed many military forts arranged along the northern bank of the Canglan River.
According to the map index, Qingyang Sect, a second-rate sect, is located in the downstream area named Tongtian River by the sect alliance.
Looking at the distance, this is already the hinterland of the Jiuyou Mountains.
"I hope there is still hope. After all, it is still a second-rate sect." Shen Zhui shook his head, put on the Ruyi warship, and quickly headed towards the destination.
…………
Tongtian River, Qingyang Gate.
As a second-rate sect, Qingyang Sect only has the worst territory in the aura-rich Tongtian River area.
Other second-rate sects control a population of hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands. As for Qingyang Gate, there are only three scattered cities under its control.
When Shen caught up, his spiritual consciousness swept across the three cities, and he instantly concluded that the total number of people in the cities was only 30,000.
Among this second-rate sect, it is already extremely miserable.
It should be noted that the sect promotion challenge is initiated by all members. Experts are important, but the number of people is also a symbol of strength.
Shen Zhui disguised himself as a passing cultivator and went into the city to inquire about the location of the Qingyang Gate. He found that the Qingyang Gate still existed, and couldn't help but secretly screamed at the wonder.
Outside Qingyang City, there is Qingyang Mountain and Qingyang Hall on Qingyang Mountain.
The name is simple and crude, and the place is easy to find.
Shen Zhui flew with his aura hidden all the way, and after a while, he arrived outside the sect-protecting formation in Qingyang Mountain.
The stone gate is only twenty feet high and is still incomplete.
Beside the stone pillars on the left and right of the door, there were eight sparse disciples guarding the mountain.
The cultivation level is no more than the innate elementary level.
Shen Zhui did not hide his figure, but at this moment, standing a hundred meters away, none of the eight disciples responded at all.
Seeing them crowded together, Shen Zhui couldn't help but get closer, and soon heard a burst of shouting.
"Come on, come on! Raptor, kill it!"
"Black dragon! Bite its neck. Why the hell are you biting its tail?"
"It's over, it's over, these hundred spiritual stones are going to waste again..."
"..."
Shen Zhui was stunned for a moment, then moved over to take a look, only to realize that these eight disciples were all fighting beasts around the middle area!
And the so-called raptors and black dragons are just two low-level lizard monsters, one green and one black, and they don't even have the strength of the innate realm!
"Ahem...Brothers, I'm Han Song, here to visit the leader of your sect!" Shen Zhui coughed twice on purpose.
The eight disciples guarding the mountain were unmoved and looked at the two low-level ferocious beasts with all their attention.
Shen Zhui frowned, showed a little breath, and shouted: "It's been robbed! Everyone, get up!"
"Huh? Someone is robbing?!" Sensing Shen Zhui's aura that was beyond the innate realm, the eight mountain guarding disciples stood up in a hurry.
"W-who are you!" Someone pulled out a long sword and pointed it tremblingly at Shen Zhui.
"I am... forget it." Shen Zhui completely gave up the idea of entering the mountain normally, waved his hand, and the Five Elements Illusion World was activated immediately.
"Plop, puff~" The eight mountain guarding disciples and the two low-level monsters suddenly fell down and fell unconscious.
"This Qingyang Gate is too strange." Shen Zhui frowned and jumped up the long climbing steps behind the stone gate. Search for books www.zhaoshuyuan.com
Logically speaking, since it is a second-rate sect and has not been destroyed, its strength should be pretty good. Although it is just the mountain gate of the world, it is not so loose, right?
Flying all the way to the Qingyang Palace on the top of the mountain, Shen Zhui encountered decent resistance. Finally, a high-level disciple of Lingqiao blocked his way.
"Who are you!" The chubby disciple stared at Shen Zhui nervously. "Why did you break into my Qingyang Gate without permission?"
"Tell the person in charge here to come out and see me." Shen Zhui said.
"I, I am, I am Bai Xiaochun, the top disciple of the Qingyang Sect's outer sect." Bai Xiaochun said nervously. "Your Excellency, if you have anything to say, just tell me."
"Where is your sect leader?" Shen Zhui frowned. His consciousness swept across the Qingyang Palace and found that there were over a hundred people here, and none of them were in the supernatural realm.
In the end what happened?
"Zong, sect master and the others are coming to kill them right away!" Bai Xiaochun pretended to be vicious. "You, if you know what's going on, hurry down the mountain and leave!"
