Chapter 501: Abandoning darkness and joining the light

After leaving Tianyang Sect, the old city lord of Zishan City felt a little regretful.

His regret was not because he rejected the price offered by the Supreme Elder of Tianyang Sect. No matter how calm he was, he would still think that the price was outrageous.

With these spiritual stones, you can find someone to kill these monks.

What he regretted was that he was a little too aggressive. The Tianyang Sect claimed that it was the number one Nascent Soul force in the Fanyang Kingdom. Even if they could not reach an agreement with them, they would never be allowed to reach an agreement with the Five Sacred Mountains Palace.

If this is really negotiated, it will make their current situation in Zishan City even worse.

If his actions contributed to the formation of this incident, he would definitely regret it to death.

After returning to Zishan City.

He quickly summoned the commander-in-chief.

When the commander saw the old city lord like this, he knew that he would not get a good result. This was exactly what he thought. With the old city lord's character, it would be a problem if the negotiation could be successful at this time.

"Tianyang Sect is simply too outrageous. One late-stage pill formation actually requires at least two hundred high-grade spiritual stones, and two of them cost two hundred and fifty yuan each..."

The old city lord couldn't help but speak, while the commander stood aside and listened quietly.

In his personal opinion, the price offered by Tianyang Sect is a bit high, but it is definitely not as outrageous as the old city lord said. If he were the Supreme Elder of Tianyang Sect, the price offered would be lower at most.

Speaking later, the old city lord also expressed his worries.

"...What do you think about this?"

"There is no possibility of cooperation between Tianyang Sect and Wuyue Palace."

"How to say."

"City Lord, think about it. Wuyue Palace now has the upper hand, and it has also called the Danjie from the Three Small Kingdoms area. There is no reason to go to Tianyang Sect. As the number one Nascent Soul force in our Fanyang Kingdom, Tianyang Sect is even less likely to Take the initiative to put down your face.”

The commander-in-chief said something that the old city lord liked to hear. That was all he said, but he also added in his heart that it was possible for Tianyang Sect to find Wuyue Palace, as long as it was difficult for them to suppress Xingxiu Sect and they needed some external force.

In the battle between the two Nascent Soul forces, Wuyue Palace, which has the upper hand, is the best choice for this external force.

It is impossible for this external force to choose the current Zishan City, just like it is impossible for Zishan City to go to Xingxiu Gate if they need support.

They really went to Xingxiu Sect, maybe it was the driving force to promote the cooperation between Wuyue Palace and Tianyang Sect.

"It seems I'm worrying too much."

"City Lord, it's a good thing to be worried, so that you can be more prepared."

"Well, you are right." The old city lord nodded with satisfaction.

After chatting for a long time, the old city lord felt much better.

This was the reason why he felt at ease leaving the big and small affairs of Zishan City to the commander-in-chief. He felt that the commander-in-chief was very similar to him and could think of many things together, which won his heart.

"Next, you arrange for people to join the alchemy formation force. If there is only one alchemy formation monk, there is no need to go."

"Yes, City Lord." The commander knew very well what the old city master was doing now, "What is the bottom line of our bid?"

"If you are in the late stage of pill formation, you will only need thirty high-grade spiritual stones at most."

"Understood." The commander could only nod.

For the old city lord, thirty high-grade spiritual stones were already quite good. Before going to Tianyang Sect, fifteen high-grade spiritual stones were a lot.

If it were the previous situation, it would really be possible for thirty high-grade spiritual stones to summon a late-stage pill-forming monk.

Now...the commander-in-chief doesn't have much confidence in his heart.

Things were quickly arranged by him.

Five days later, he received a message saying that some of the affiliated alchemy forces still wanted to think about it, and the affiliated alchemy forces that responded had all refused for various reasons.

Finding a suitable reason for refusal already shows great respect for their sect in Zishan City.

There has been no reply yet, and the commander-in-chief feels that they will not agree in the end. Now they should be spending their energy to find out the current situation.

As the commander-in-chief thought, the affiliated alchemy forces that did not respond were all investigating.

Within a certain alchemy-forming force affiliated with Zishan City.

"How's the investigation going?"

"The results have been obtained. There have been many alchemy monks appearing in Wuyue Palace recently."

"Did the affiliated Dan formation forces of Wuyue Palace support Wuyue Palace?"

"No, according to the latest news, they haven't moved. The extra pill-forming monks seem to be from the Three Small Kingdoms area, from Zishan City..."

"Of course I have to find a reason to refuse. Don't just use the price as an excuse and just say that I need to retreat for a long time recently."

"yes."

Situations similar to this occurred among many Danjie forces affiliated with Zishan City.

Unlike the Danjie forces in the Three Small Kingdoms region, they are sandwiched between the two Nascent Soul forces. As for who will be attached to them in the end, it will naturally depend on whoever wins in the end.

Especially the fight between two major forces in the same area. Small forces like them should not be involved in it until the critical moment.

However, it was beyond their expectation that the Danjie forces in the three small countries could participate.

If they were in the Three Small Kingdoms area, faced with such a situation, they would not easily participate, even if they were to support the Wuyue Palace, which had an advantage. You must know that this is a struggle between the two Nascent Soul forces. It will not be until the last moment. , no one knows the result.

Baijing County, Lei family.

As one of the alchemy cultivating families in Baijing County, the Lei family is also an affiliated alchemy force in Zishan City. Their final choice is somewhat different from other alchemy-forming forces in Zishan City.

Because Zishan City wanted their support, they directly summoned the senior monks of the family to hold an emergency meeting.

“…This is all the information we can get.”

“They are all the support from the Jindan forces in the three small countries.”

“Wait, are there any Jindan from the royal family of Qing among these Jindan?” The head of the Lei family needs more specific information.

“There are royal family of Qing.”

“Head, what do you think… the royal family of Qing has Jindan on the field, and it is possible that their Yuanying clan leader will be dispatched.”

“Well, I think there is a possibility, and there are some possibilities. Now the Yuanying cultivator of the royal family of Qing is in Fanyang.”

“I think this possibility is too small.”

“But if this is really the case, Zishan City will be very dangerous.” The head of the Lei family quickly made up his mind, “At this time, I think we can’t hesitate, but be decisive! If we miss the opportunity, it will be difficult to have it again later.”

When the senior leaders heard this, their eyes stayed on the clan leader. The clan leader’s meaning was obvious, that is, their Lei family had to take sides now.

“Is it too early now?”

Some family leaders have not thought about it yet. The most stable method should be to wait until the Five Mountains Palace fights Zishan City.

"It's not too early. This is also an opportunity for us. After seizing this opportunity, I think the family will have better development space in the future."

"I agree with the clan leader's opinion."

"Based on the information we have now, the risk is small and the return is high. It's worth a try."

Among the senior officials who expressed their opinions, some have already agreed.

There is one advantage of standing in line now. After the Five Mountains Palace really destroys Zishan City, their Lei family will definitely be much better than other Jindan forces affiliated with Zishan City, whether it is the attitude of the Five Mountains Palace towards them in the future, or the resources that the Five Mountains Palace needs to supply every year in the future.

"If we perform well, our Lei family's position in the affiliated forces of the Five Mountains Palace will definitely be above most of the Jindan forces affiliated with the Five Mountains Palace now."

You must know that the Jindan forces of the Five Mountains Palace have not yet sent Jindan cultivators to participate in this contest between the two Yuanying forces.

As for whether the foundation-building cultivators are involved, this is not easy to check. Compared with the Jindan-level cultivators, the influence of the foundation-building cultivators on the battle situation is almost negligible, so they can also provide support very secretly.

Advantages of Wuyue Palace For the Jindan forces affiliated with Wuyue Palace, compared with the affiliated Jindan forces of Zishan City, there is no need to participate in it. If they succeed in occupying the upper sect, there will definitely be benefits, but the benefits obtained cannot change their current family and give them the possibility of moving to a higher level.

If they fail, they will really be finished.

In their view, the benefits and risks are obviously not equal.

After the Lei family made the right bet, they will be completely different from the Jindan forces affiliated with Zishan City.

After a long discussion, they finally listened to the clan leader and occupied the Wuyue Palace directly, but it is not possible to stand in the team directly now. They need to send Jindan monks to join the battlefield, and it will take some time.

Standing in the team is definitely not just a verbal talk. Anyone can say it, but actual actions must be taken.

Half a month later.

Lei Yuanji, a family leader of the Lei family who is at the peak of foundation building, has secretly come to Wuyue Palace.

When he came to Wuyue Palace, he naturally wanted to meet the supreme elder of Wuyue Palace.

After stating his purpose, the cultivators of the Five Mountains Palace did not make things difficult for him, and he soon met the Supreme Elder Yu Qingyun.

"I have long admired you, senior, and I met you today."

Yu Qingyun did not take Lei Yuanji's polite words seriously, but asked directly: "Can you represent the Lei family?"

"Yes, senior, I am here on behalf of the Lei family, but the elders in the Jindan stage of my family are a little inconvenient to move, so I am here for them."

Lei Yuanji must explain this. Now that he is here on behalf of the Lei family, it must mean that their Lei family has now abandoned the dark and joined the Five Mountains Palace. There is no need to be so sneaky. It is best for the patriarch of the Jindan stage to come here, so as to better show their attitude.

"Okay, since you can represent the Lei family, just say something real. When will your Lei family's Jindan be ready to take action?" Yu Qingyun asked what he wanted to know most.

This is also the most important.

The Lei family of Baijing is now on the side of the Five Mountains Palace. There are three Jindan cultivators in their family. They must give out a Jindan to help the Five Mountains Palace deal with Zishan City, and it is free. This is the only way to show the sincerity of the Lei family. "When your clan attacks Baijing County, our Lei family will give out two Jindan to support them." Lei Yuanji said that the Lei family had already discussed it. It is very important for the Lei family to attack Baijing County. At this time, the Lei family can minimize their own danger. Many places that were previously under the influence of Zishan City are now conquered by the Five Mountains Palace, and the Jindan forces that were previously affiliated with Zishan City are now in a state of retreat and do not take any sides. The Five Mountains Palace naturally did not make it difficult for them. For the Five Mountains Palace, as long as they did not help Zishan City a little bit, it would be good. Of course, it would be best if they could directly stand on their side, but such a situation has not occurred so far. "Before that, our Lei family will secretly help your clan as much as possible."

"Forget about that, so that you don't expose yourself before that." Since the other party is willing to give two Jindan, Yu Qingyun thinks that some things should be avoided if possible. The Lei family's help is still in secret, which is not very useful to them.

The most important thing is that this can also prevent them from obtaining too much information from the Wuyue Palace.

In Yu Qingyun's mind, he still couldn't completely rule out that the Lei family was on the side of their Wuyue Palace, which was the idea of ​​Zishan City, but the possibility was not great.

Seeing that the Lei family sent a peak foundation-building cultivator, they must have come to Wuyue Palace secretly, so the possibility was even smaller.

"I will listen to you, senior."

Lei Yuanji was delighted when he heard this, and at the same time he was very comfortable. Secretly helping Wuyue Palace might expose them. Before Wuyue Palace attacked Baijing County, they didn't want to be exposed that they were on the side of Wuyue Palace.

The two sides talked very quickly.

Lei Yuanji left without wasting much time.

Yu Qingyun asked the foundation-building disciples to see him off.

"Baijing County...it seems that it won't take long." Yu Qingyun couldn't help but say.

He had received information from Zishan City before, indicating that Zishan City had contacted many of their affiliated Jindan forces some time ago. So there was no need to guess that Zishan City must hope that their affiliated forces could send out a few Jindan cultivators at this time to support them.

Now it seems that not only did no Jindan forces agree to them, but also asked one of their affiliated Jindan forces to stand on the side of their Wuyue Palace.

To make such a decision, one must also bear certain risks.

And he, Yu Qingyun, will not let such risks happen. He wants to let other Jindan forces see that it is right to defect to their Wuyue Palace. They will benefit from contributing to the process of destroying Zishan City.

The amount of benefit depends on how great the contribution is.

Such good news needs to be shared.

Soon, Yuanying cultivators including Li Qianqing received news that the Baijing Lei family, an affiliated force of Zishan City, stood on the side of their Wuyue Palace.

This news can show that their Wuyue Palace's actions are very smooth.

In the minds of many Jindan affiliated forces in Zishan City, it is likely that they tacitly assume that Zishan City will be destroyed by their Wuyue Palace.

After the news came to Li Qianqing.

Li Qianqing had just finished practicing the second absolute of the divine consciousness secret technique "Three Absolute Gods".

"The second of the Three God-killing Secrets has finally been perfected."

He spent a lot of time on the cultivation of the second secret, but it was all worth it. After the second secret of the Three God-killing Secrets was cultivated to the great perfection, now even if he faces a Yuanying late stage cultivator whose spiritual awareness is stronger than his, he still has a good chance of directly killing the opponent's Yuanying.

Whether he can successfully kill the opponent also depends on the degree of defense of the Yuanying late stage cultivator against him. It is best for him to attack unexpectedly. If the opponent has more protective measures, it will take some effort to complete the kill. (End of this chapter)
