Chapter 430 Internal strife

Peng Yanghe has lived for more than 400 years. His ancestors were all ordinary mortals. The reason why he could cultivate to the Purple Mansion was because of the cultivation of the sect. He had a deep affection for the Nanlu Pavilion, which even exceeded his own life.

Although his cultivation was average among the Purple Mansion cultivators, he was a person who could recognize the situation. After receiving the news from the sect, he knew that the demise of Nanlu Pavilion had become an inevitable outcome.

Peng Yanghe himself was not afraid of death. He did not hide anything. He collected the thunder and fire talismans in the hands of all the cultivators in Lishan and arranged them at the key points of the spirit stone mine. Then he dismissed most of the cultivators and insisted on the final mission for the sect with the determination to die.

There are only thirteen people left on the huge Lishan Mountain. These weak thirteen people are all the dead warriors of Nanlu Pavilion and are also the most loyal people to the sect.

Compared with Zhang Zhixuan and others, Peng Yanghe's thirteen people are undoubtedly weak. Even if they don't have the formation-breaking beads in their hands, they can't defend the spirit stone vein. However, it was still very easy for the thirteen people who were determined to die to destroy the spirit stone mine in Lishan.

Although the timing of Zhang Zhixuan and others' sneak attack was very clever and the tactical command was also no problem, it was a pity that they still failed to stop the incident, allowing Peng Yanghe to successfully blow up the spirit vein and the spirit stone mine into a pile of ruins.

The initial defeat made Zhang Zhixuan Wu Zifu look ashamed. They then took Peng Yanghe's head to intimidate the nearby immortal cultivation families, destroyed two hesitant foundation-building families, broke through their mountain gates, and then recruited surrenders and traitors, gathered a large number of people, and began to restore the production capacity of the spirit stone mine in Lishan.

The spirit stone mine in Lishan has been mined for thousands of years, and the mine tunnels inside are crisscrossed and very complicated. It takes a huge cost to dig out new mine tunnels.

Everyone divided Peng Yanghe's storage bag, and then asked Zhou Huayang to lead five foundation-building cultivators to garrison Lishan, and drove a large number of Nanlu Pavilion vassals to work in the Lishan mine cave, and let them dig mine tunnels to atone for their sins.

As for Zhang Zhixuan and the other four purple palaces, they began to attack the other two fourth-level spiritual veins.

After a month, the other two fourth-level spiritual veins of Nanlu Pavilion were all conquered by the four people. The purple palace cultivators stationed there, Chu Suilong and Yu Wuji, died and escaped, and the territory of Nanlu Pavilion was also pacified by the four purple palace cultivators.

In this process, Zhang Zhixuan and his four companions also broke through seven foundation-building families that had deep entanglements with Nanlu Pavilion and seized a lot of floating wealth. A considerable part of this batch of floating wealth was divided up by the four purple palace cultivators.

Just for the most important exercises for the Zhang family, they obtained 19 foundation-building exercises, four purple palace exercises, and one golden elixir exercise. This batch of exercises was recorded by Zhang Zhixuan into jade slips and collected in the Zhang family's library.

Although the three purple palaces of the Zhang family will not practice these exercises, they are still very valuable references for Zhang Zhixuan's next step of creating exercises.

Secondly, they killed two purple mansion monks, Peng Yanghe and Chu Suilong, and seized five fourth-level magic tools. Although only two of these five fourth-level magic tools were fourth-level mid-grade, they were not of much help to the three purple mansions of the Zhang family, but they could still be sold for 30,000 spiritual stones. In addition to the spiritual stones obtained from killing more than a dozen foundation-building monks, the number allocated to the Zhang family was already very considerable, enough to replenish the consumption of the fifth-level spiritual talisman used by Qingchan in the Yuntaishan battle.

Two of the three purple mansion monks stationed outside died and one escaped. Without the support of high-level monks, Zhang Zhixuan and others severely dealt with a group of families that had deep entanglements with Nanlu Pavilion. The three counties of Daning, Huaiyang, and Xuanzhang controlled by Nanlu Pavilion were easily pacified.

In order to keep Lingshan under the rule of the new master, these immortal cultivation families who had become fence-sitters could only fight back and began to draw personnel and materials to supplement the Qingxuan Sect monks.

During this period, Qingxuan and Huanshui began to mobilize a group of people. There were already 200 foundation-building monks besieging Zitong Mountain, and even more than 600 Qi training monks were mobilized. Zhang Sihong of the Zhang family was also on the list of this call-up. He brought 30 direct descendants of the Zhang family and hundreds of vassals to the vicinity of Zitong Mountain.

Most of these monks were placed in the strongholds for transporting supplies.

Qi training and foundation-building monks cannot practice fasting. Even Purple Mansion monks have to eat high-level spiritual rice frequently to nourish their bodies, so the transportation routes along the road are the top priority of both sides.

In order to prepare for this battle, Qingxuan Sect even stopped all normal transportation. Qingxuan and Huanshui mobilized three large spiritual boats and seven whale-carrying beasts to participate in transportation logistics. There are more than 300 monks active on the transportation routes.

Every time food and fodder are transported, Purple Mansion monks must be sent to escort.

Seeing more and more cultivators coming from the foot of the mountain and the encirclement getting tighter and tighter, the cultivators on Zitong Mountain became more and more worried.

Shen Chenzhou dragged his heavily injured body, looked at the increasingly tight blockade outside the mountain, and sighed helplessly: "The situation is getting more and more serious. It seems that Yang He and the other two will hardly survive. If they are smarter, they may find a way to escape. Yuanyou, go and see how Yang Wangyuan and others are doing?"

Chen Yuanyou said with disdain: "What can he do? He is just drowning his sorrows in wine. He has broken through twice in a row recently, but was beaten back by Jin Lan and others. It seems that he should be discouraged."

At this point, Shen Chenzhou already knew that if he could not make a decisive decision, when the Qingxuan Huanshui Sect and the other two sects were ready, the cultivators on Zitong Mountain would have no choice but to perish.

"There are already more than 200 foundation-building cultivators drawn up from the foot of the mountain. If we wait for a while, I'm afraid they will attack the mountain in a big way. Yuanyou, do you still want to live?"

Chen Yuanyou shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Uncle Shen, I just don't want to die, but what can I do? No less than 30 Qingxuan Sect cultivators have died in my hands, and there are also five or six foundation-building cultivators. How can the Qingxuan Sect tolerate an enemy like me?"

Shen Chenzhou said: "Do you dare to take the risk to go down the mountain to talk? Just say that we, the cultivators of Nanlu Pavilion, are willing to ensure the integrity of the spiritual veins of Zitong Mountain, and can leave the classics in the Sutra Pavilion, the spiritual medicines in the Spiritual Medicine Garden, and the spiritual fields on the mountain intact to the Qingxuan and Huanshui Sects. Our only request is that they can save the lives of their disciples and occupy a spiritual vein in the Southern Wilderness to survive.

As long as they agree, you can save your life."

Chen Yuanyou said: "Should we notify Yang Wangyuan and others?"

"Stupid, Hongshan Sect and Qingxuan Sect have been fighting for eighty years, and they have long been enemies. How could they give up this opportunity and let Yang Wangyuan live?

In my opinion, Qingxuan and Huanshui Alliance are afraid that they don't trust me and will definitely want my life. As long as I am alive, I am a big banner with enough prestige to pull up the rebels from Daning, Huaiyang and Xuanzhang counties, so that they dare not relax for a moment.

If they must kill me, you must not bargain, and you must seize the opportunity to agree immediately. Once they are ready, I am afraid that they would rather die some people and lose some spirit stones to cut the grass and root it out."
