Chapter 982: Cede territory for peace

Since the battle of Dulingfang, Zhang Zhixuan did not dare to go to the Demon Refining City, and Zhongchizhou Wenxianlou did not need so many people.

Jinyan Zhenren closed some branches and cut down a lot of people.

These people took the intercontinental teleportation array to return to the sect one after another, and lost a few people inexplicably along the way.

The spiritual stones consumed in this round trip exceeded millions, and the spiritual stones wasted on the teleportation array reached tens of millions, which could almost cultivate a sixth-level lower-grade spiritual mountain.

Unfortunately, even with such a large-scale operation, Yang Xuanzhen could not be found in Zhongchizhou.

Even though Zhang Zhixuan and Qingchan had a lot of gains in Zhongchizhou, the main purpose of this trip was not achieved.

After all, in a vast world, how difficult is it to find a hidden Yuanying from the vast sea of ​​people?

Some of these high-level cultivators who returned were arranged to Tianyuan Island to strengthen their strength, and some were dispersed to various counties in Qi.

After receiving the letter from Yunxiao Sect, Zhang Zhixuan scanned it with his spiritual sense. After reading the content, he sneered at Tang Yisheng who was waiting in the cave: "Write a letter to tell Xuanchen Zhenren that if you want us to stop, you must cede the six counties before you can talk about peace."

Two years ago, Tang Yisheng had returned from Huohu Mountain and attacked Yunxiao Sect's territory.

In addition, Li Yunxiu and Zhang Yunlan also appeared near the spiritual vein controlled by Yunxiao Sect. This situation made the Yunxiao Sect cultivators very uncomfortable.

The Yunxiao Sect cannot make this decision to withdraw and close the mountain gate.

If they do not retreat, the initiative is in the hands of Ziyang Sect. Once the Yuanying cultivators take action, the Jindan cultivators stationed in the spiritual vein market will not be able to hold on, and they will only lose in vain.

Although Tang Yisheng and the other two became Yuanying after signing the contract, they all have blood feuds with Yunxiao Sect cultivators.

Their relatives, friends, and fellow disciples were either killed by Yunxiao Sect cultivators or their paths were ruined.

For example, Tang Fenglan, who had the best relationship with Li Yunxiu and explained Taoism to her when she was young and led her on the path of cultivation, was injured by the Yunxiao Sect's Nascent Soul and eventually broke the Qi Sea and could not refine the Nascent Soul.

Otherwise, according to Tang Fenglan's age and cultivation, he would probably be trained by Ziyang Sect and refine the Nascent Soul before Xia Youqing and Han Yan.

The hatred of blocking the Tao has exceeded killing parents.

Li Yunxiu and Tang Fenglan have been in love for three hundred years, so naturally she has a lot of resentment towards the Yunxiao Sect cultivators.

Not to mention Tang Fenglan's master Liu Guyan, it was only for the sake of the overall situation of the sect that she agreed to give up revenge and not take action against the Yunxiao Sect people.

Tang Fenglan is like this, and Zhang Yunlan and Zhang Sihong have a very close relationship. The more than ten Jindan who died in the battle that year all have various relationships in the sect.

And those who died in the battle of Qi training, foundation building, and Zifu all have descendants and relatives left in the sect.

I heard that Ziyang Sect once had a conflict with Yunxiao Sect. Many people were already indignant and wrote letters of request to be transferred to Qi County.

Yunxiao Sect was caught by Zhang Zhixuan this time, so it was impossible to let it go easily. Of course, he would use this as an excuse to stir up trouble and force Yunxiao Sect to make concessions.

Tang Yisheng was about to leave, but suddenly he slapped his forehead, as if he had thought of something, and asked: "If Xuanchen Zhenren wants us, the newly promoted Yuanying, to re-sign the treaty, how should we reply?"

Zhang Zhixuan's eyes lit up and asked back: "What do you think we should do?"

Tang Yisheng had thought about this for a long time, and said quickly: "I think we should agree to them. If we are unwilling to re-sign the treaty, we will inevitably expose our hostility too early. Faced with our strong coercion, Yunxiao Sect has only one way to close the mountain. The greater possibility is probably to abandon the mountain gate and move to Qingli Sea to start over.

By then, even if we want to take revenge, it will be difficult to find the enemy. Moreover, this sect will definitely sell the intercontinental teleportation array for a good price to introduce foreign forces power, and then we can't intervene no matter what we do. "

After listening to Tang Yisheng's reply, Zhang Zhixuan nodded and smiled: "Squeeze the living space of Yunxiao Sect a little more. They can't support so many cultivators by relying on the intercontinental teleportation array alone. In addition, the large amount of Lingshan territory ceded to us, the cultivators of this sect will inevitably provoke a fight with the five sects of Qi State in order to survive.

The five sects of Qi State got a big bargain last time and got a lot of benefits without any effort. Although it is not convenient for us to take action against the five sects of Qi State, we can use the hand of Yunxiao Sect to weaken the power of the five sects of Qi State and let them know what pain is? "

Tang Yisheng respectfully bowed to his master, and immediately turned into a spiritual light and left the underground cave of Lingjing Mountain.

Through the nearby teleportation array, he quickly entered the territory of Qi State.

For hundreds of years, Ziyang Sect has exchanged small sects near Wu State to Song State through the method of territory exchange, which has connected the original large areas of land in Yu State, Wu State and Nanhuang.

The northernmost territory of the sect borders Qi State. Qi State’s territory is no longer an enclave. Ziyang Sect’s control is quite deep, and it can be said that it is rooted in the grassroots, far beyond places like Jueying Mountain in Tao State and Daiyang Mountain in Da Zhou.

Including the county swallowed up in the past two years, Ziyang Sect has controlled seven of Qi State’s thirty-six counties. A small half of the sixteen counties controlled by Yunxiao Sect in those days fell into Ziyang Sect’s control.

If Yunxiao Sect is forced to cede six counties again, most of the territory of this sect in its heyday will be annexed by Ziyang Sect.

Among the seven counties of Qi State, there is a large spiritual stone mine. This mine is the only large spiritual stone mine near Qi State, and the annual output is very amazing.

Especially the high-quality spiritual stones, only this spiritual stone mine can provide them stably.

Even after swallowing Dongxuan Sect, Ziyang Sect only controls two large spiritual stone mines, which shows the importance of this spiritual stone mine to the sect.

In the early years, Ziyang Sect even stationed Yuanying Zhenren in Qi State, but later signed treaties with all sects in Qi State, and the area controlled by the sect increased, so it arranged for a ninth-level Jindan cultivator to take charge.

In the past few years, it was Lin Shaoyou who was stationed here, and in recent years, it was Wei Jinwen who was stationed here.

Seeing Tang Yisheng coming to the door, he brought a message from Zhang Zhixuan.

Ziyang Sect’s lion-like mouth immediately caused a lot of discussion within Yunxiao Sect.

As soon as Tang Yisheng left, there were different opinions within the sect.

Sect leader Zhou Qunfang advocated withdrawing immediately, abandoning the foundation in Qi State, and moving to Qingli Sea with high-level cultivators to cultivate spiritual veins and find a deserted island to inherit the sect’s Taoist tradition.

Even if it was difficult in the early stage, it could completely get rid of the powerful enemy Ziyang Sect. When the time came, they would go to Qingli Sea and change their name, and Ziyang Sect might not be able to find their enemy.

Yunxiao Sect had fought with Ziyang Sect several times and suffered. The main offenders of this sect were the Jindan and Zifu cultivators of Ziyang Sect. Unlike Yang Xuanzhen, who offended the Yuanying ancestors, the two sides had different energies, so the intensity of revenge would naturally be different.

The great elder Xuanchen Zhenren advocated delaying and waiting for changes, and was unwilling to give up the foundation of Qi.

As long as Ziyang Sect was willing to renew the treaty, he was ready to agree no matter how difficult the conditions were.
