Chapter 859 Kong Xuan Seizes Grain

Kong Xuan was very satisfied with Wen Zhong's understanding. After all, being able to slack off openly and enjoy the blessings of the Yin Shang dynasty was something to be pleased about.

Wen Zhong originally thought that the Xiqi side would definitely be short of food and supplies due to his harassment, but after observing for a period of time, Wen Zhong found that the enemy soldiers had rosy complexions and did not lack food and drink at all, and he realized that the disciples of the Western Sect must have brought food and supplies when they came to Xiqi!

After realizing that Xiqi had sufficient food supplies and could continue to stall against Yin Shang, Grand Tutor Wen immediately formulated a detailed policy regarding Xiqi's food supplies!

Originally, with the strength of the talented people of Yin Shang, transferring the grain supplies to Xiqi would have been a piece of cake. However, just to be on the safe side, Wen Zhong ultimately decided to let Kong Xuan, such a big shot, personally transfer the grain supplies to Xiqi!

And just as Wen Zhong had guessed, Xiqi valued the provisions brought by the Western Religion very much, so from the beginning, the Xiqi leadership sent a large number of troops to guard them.

Later, after some probing, the Xiqi leadership gained a general understanding of the Western Sect disciples' habits and realized that even if they were sent to the battlefield, they would mainly slack off.

To ensure that these Western Sect disciples were used to their fullest potential and to maximize their effectiveness, Jiang Ziya, after some deliberation and discussion with Ji Chang and Ji Fa, arranged for skilled individuals among the Western Sect disciples, such as the Pharmacist, to help guard the granaries of Xiqi!

It was precisely this action by the Xiqi leadership that made Xiqi's granaries, while not impregnable, not easily breached by ordinary villains. Even the most capable and talented individuals of the Yin Shang dynasty could defend against over 90% of them.

Originally, Xiqi did not need to worry about the safety of the granary, but Wen Zhong sent out a trump card right away. Even though the pharmacist's strength was among the best in the Sage Sect, he could not withstand Kong Xuan's bombardment at all!

In the end, after defeating the Western Sect disciples, including the Medicine Master, Kong Xuan, a powerful figure who had reached the peak of the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm, swept away all the granaries storing grain within the territory of Xiqi!

When Ji Chang, the Marquis of Xibo, learned that Xiqi's grain had been completely wiped out, he was so distraught that he fainted. If the pharmacist hadn't given him a pill in time to keep him alive, Ji Chang might have died of anger!

Faced with the predicament that Xiqi has fallen into again, Ji Chang, the Marquis of Xibo, could not think of any good solutions. After all, both planting and buying grain require a certain amount of time, and what Xiqi lacks most right now is time!

As for going to the Yin Shang camp to seize the grain, any Xiqi leader with a brain would not take this plan. After all, if the Yin Shang could think of sending Kong Xuan to plunder, how could they not think of the Xiqi organization's counter-plunder?

Xiqi was unsure how many strong individuals of Kong Xuan's caliber the Yin Shang dynasty still possessed, but Kong Xuan alone was enough to render the entire Xiqi helpless, leaving them with no ability to even consider attacking the granary!

Faced with the current predicament of Xiqi, the Xiqi leadership, headed by Ji Chang, could only try their best to find a solution! Fortunately, Ji Chang had habitually built a secret granary outside Xiqi City to store more food; otherwise, after Kong Xuan's sweep, Xiqi would have truly had no food to eat!

However, although this secret granary is huge, it is only enough for the entire Xiqi to consume for one month. If they do not find a new source of food after this batch of food is used up, then Xiqi will really be out of food and resources, and the human tragedy of exchanging children for food will begin!

Wen Zhong was not surprised that Xiqi still had enough food to sustain itself. After all, if Xiqi had no tricks up its sleeve, how could it have become the one chosen by Heaven as an unkillable cockroach?

However, Grand Tutor Wen also understood that Xiqi's food reserves were definitely not much. In order to prevent the Xiqi leadership from resorting to desperate measures and causing great damage to the Yin Shang army, and to prevent Xiqi from launching another desperate counterattack, after confirming that Kong Xuan had brought back the grain, Grand Tutor Wen immediately ordered his disciples of the Jie Sect to activate a series of interconnected formations, completely surrounding the entire Xiqi within the formation!
