Chapter 985 Outbreak
"What do you elders think about this matter?"
After the head of the Zhang family and other elders read the joint request for help, he slowly asked.
"We must send clansmen forward to repel the demon clan. If we can drive the demon clan out completely, that would be great!" As soon as he finished speaking, an elder shouted loudly.
"That's right!"
Another elder stood up and said sonorously: "Although the elite places of Shanyuan State are all in the vast plains controlled by the family, through the development of those small forces and the previous integration of Taixu Illusion, the Qianzhong Group The mountain's resource output has become much richer, so we just take this opportunity to capture it and provide more resources for the family's development."
"But in this case, the family may become the main force against the demon clan, and there will inevitably be a large number of casualties, which is not conducive to the development of the family." Some elders also expressed opposition.
"As the lord of Shanyuan State, if the family really stands by and watches the monsters occupy the mountains, how will the family live in the immortal world in the future? And the loss of luck will be even more serious!"
A tall and powerful elder said in a loud voice: "The family has stayed in a peaceful and peaceful environment for too long. The combat power of the clan members has generally declined. A large number of clan members have problems such as lack of experience and weak Taoism. If this continues, let alone the further development of the family, it may even decline!"
"So, the family must participate in this battle! In the battle with the demon clan, we must make up for the shortcomings of the juniors and let them take a step forward."
After a pause, he said solemnly: "For the future of the family, no matter how many casualties there are, we will not hesitate!"
During the East China Sea War, although the Zhang family participated in the war, more high-level monks were fighting with the Hai clan, and clansmen with lower cultivation levels were almost always at the rear of the battle line.
At that time, the Zhang family wanted to protect the future of the family. Looking back now, I realized how bad the impact of this decision was, which directly caused the Zhang family to fall into the dilemma of being out of business.
The generation of clan members who should obviously carry the family banner are still in the state of transforming into gods and refining the void, and only a few of them have broken through the integration!
And the new generation of clan members are too young and cannot support the family in a short time.
This also caused the Zhang family monks who should have put down their trivial matters and devoted themselves to cultivation in order to break through the Mahayana to find that they could not retreat at all!
Because there are not that many integrated monks to serve as elders and manage the family.
You must know that the Zhang family is an old fusion family, and a Mahayana monk was born many years ago. If the Lianxu monk is allowed to take over, it will give outsiders the impression that the Zhang family is declining and its strength has plummeted.
At that time, various temptations will follow. Once the news is confirmed, those combined forces in the west will never let go of the sacred land of Wan Zhang Plain!
As soon as these words came out, the elder who originally wanted to object was immediately speechless.
Regardless of whether it is from the perspective of immortal justice or family interests, the Zhang family has to participate in this war, and will become the main force against the demon clan.
"Fighting against the demon clan is not without its benefits."
An elder opened his mouth to ease the atmosphere and said with a smile: "The demon clan has been operating in the mountains for so many years. The family will have a large area of rich spiritual energy. In addition, those small forces will also become vassals of the family, and the annual offerings will also be That’s a lot of money.”
"The most important thing is that the demon clan suddenly came out and launched a war. Maybe they found some treasure in the territory of a certain immortal power. Otherwise, why did the demon clan take action at this time after occupying the mountains for so many years?"
These words were just speculation, but they gave the Zhang family something else to think about. At least it didn't seem like a loss-making deal.
"Since everyone agrees to have a fight with the Monster Clan, let's start mobilizing the clansmen and rush to the battlefield as soon as possible to prevent the forces of the mountains from losing to the Monster Clan and allowing the Monster Clan to spread the battlefield, which will make it easier to clean up the battlefield." Zhang The head of the family makes the final decision.
The reason why he kept quiet and waited until the dust settled before announcing was mainly because he wanted to preserve his prestige and avoid the decision he made being opposed by too many people.
As a long-established fusion family, the Zhang family has experienced a quandary in recent years, but its legacy remains the same. After launching the mobilization, tens of thousands of monks were summoned in an instant, among which the main focus was on refining the void and transforming gods, and there were only a few fusion monks.
Because the Zhang family doesn’t want to break out into a full-scale war with the demon clan yet! Intended to limit the war to the combined forces.
After all, one of the main purposes of the Zhang family's war is to train this generation of clan members and let them grow up as quickly as possible.
If the combined monks die, the scale of the war will be too great, and the Zhang family will also suffer very serious losses, and it may even damage the foundation.
In addition to tens of thousands of monks, the Zhang family also directly produced a large number of strategic spiritual objects that could follow the monks to the battlefield.
From this point, we can also see the depth of a force's background.
On the other side, forces of all sizes gathered together in the mountains. There may have been contradictions and conflicts before, but when the demon clan invaded and the moment of life and death came, they all put aside their grievances, at least on the surface, they were united.
"We should take action first and catch the demon clan by surprise, and we can also set the battlefield to prevent the demon clan from running around and causing huge losses to everyone." A certain Void Refining monk suggested.
This statement makes sense, but his purpose is not simple, because the sect he is in is very close to the demon clan. Once the demon clan attacks, the sect will inevitably suffer heavy losses. Even if the danger is known now, it cannot be avoided because there is no time. .
Therefore, some forces far away from the Monster Clan's territory are naturally dissatisfied, and the reason is very reasonable, that is, there is no way to prepare for a war in a hurry.
Li Xunda, who was sitting aside, frowned slightly as he looked at the quarrel in front of him, but did not speak.
Because he knew that this would be the case before convening the mountain forces to discuss the matter, and it was not unexpected at all.
Without a leader, and without a powerful force to unite, it is impossible for hundreds of forces, large and small, to exert their powerful power.
Li Xuanda didn't want to participate in this time-wasting meeting. If he had this time to argue, he might as well help the family. For this war, the whole Li family was very busy, so it would be good for him to share some of the burden.
However, the Li family was the host who summoned everyone, and Li Zhirui and other Void Refining monks had no time to come forward. They had more important things to do.
But there must always be someone with enough weight to participate. If you arrange elders, it seems that the Li family does not pay enough attention to this and does not respect other Void Refining forces. Then there is only Li Xuanda, the leader of the clan.
‘The Zhang family, come quickly! ’ Li Xunda thought in his mind.
This is the first time that he is so eager to see the Zhang family monks, because only they can break the current deadlock and unify all forces.
Although the strength of the Li family has greatly improved over the years, without the fusion cultivators, it is impossible for those void refining forces to be truly convinced.
Perhaps Li Xuanda's words really had an effect. The next day, the Zhang family sent a group of pioneer monks, more than 3,000 people, to the Li family.
The leader was a fusion monk. He had no intention of entering the Ten Thousand Immortals Mountain. He stood on the huge spiritual ship, condescending, and ordered arrogantly: "Each family must within three days, according to their different strengths. , each family sent different numbers of monks to Jiuqu Gorge."
After saying that, he threw down a jade slip to the people below and sent the spirit ship away.
With such an attitude of not taking others seriously, they were naturally extremely angry, but due to lack of strength, they could only hold back their anger in their hearts.
Li Xunda stepped forward and revealed the contents of the jade slip. After writing down the number and strength of the monks the Li family wanted to send, he turned back to Wanxian Mountain and reminded: "Everyone, hurry back and prepare."
After returning to the family, he immediately summoned all the elders.
"The Zhang family requires the family to send two thousand monks, of which at least ten will be cultivators and three hundred will be gods."
"What!"
The elders were surprised, not because this number was so shocking, but because it was far lower than they expected.
They had previously predicted that the Zhang family would recruit at least fifteen people to refine the void, five hundred to transform into gods, and two to three thousand people for Yuanying and Jindan.
After all, judging from the previous East China Sea War, the Zhang family preferred to hide in the rear and would rarely take the initiative to participate in the war.
The elders of the Li family naturally thought that the Zhang family would most likely use these forces as cannon fodder to drain the strength of the demon clan, and would not take action personally unless absolutely necessary.
"Why did the Zhang family suddenly change their temper? Are they planning to be the main force to resist the demon clan?" an elder asked in confusion.
"No matter what the Zhang family is thinking, this is far lower than our expectations. It can greatly reduce the family's losses. It is a good thing for the family."
Li Xuanda didn't want to dwell on this matter because he was still holding back a ball of anger.
"The Zhang family only gave us three days to complete this matter first."
After arranging tasks for each elder, Li Xuanda personally told Li Zhirui about the matter.
"I know, I'll get there in time."
Li Zhirui didn't go out. He was taking the time to refine a batch of treasure pills.
Li Xunda went to find other Xu Lian seniors one after another, and at the same time explained to some people why he was not needed to participate in the war.
Because the Li family had mobilized early, and they still mobilized according to the number they had guessed, but now that the Zhang family does not recruit so many people, the Li family will naturally have to reduce some of them, so there is no need to show off on this matter.
However, the preparation of spiritual items was still not sufficient. After all, time was too urgent. Although a lot of spiritual items were drawn from the family inventory, some spiritual items were still lacking, so they could only continue to refine them now and then send them to the battlefield.
——
"You should stay in the family this time and rearrange the mountain protection formation, right?" Before leaving, Li Zhirui and Jiang Fengwu met.
Jiang Fengwu nodded and said: "I didn't expect that this proposal would tie me up and prevent me from participating in this war. I have been in seclusion and rebuilding for so many years, and I still want to test my strength."
"The family always needs someone to take charge."
Li Zhirui smiled and said solemnly: "Wanxian Mountain is up to you. There are too many monsters. Even if we attack first, we can't trap them all."
"At that time, they are likely to deploy a lot of monks to attack the tribes and mountain gates of various forces, so you still have a chance to verify your strength."
"Don't worry, I will protect the family." Jiang Fengwu promised.
Two days later, Li Zhirui set off for Jiuqu Gorge with a large number of tribesmen.
There was no talking all the way, and after a few hours, we arrived at the canyon smoothly.
The Zhang family had deployed a large seventh-order magic array in this area, so the demon clan didn't discover it.
"You take the time to rest, we will launch an attack on the demon clan tonight!"
The monk from the Zhang family who was responsible for the reception took everyone from the Li family to a simple camp. After saying this, he hurriedly left.
"So anxious?" Xiaoqing frowned.
"It was unexpected."
After all, no one knows when the demon clan will launch an attack. The Zhang family does not want to fall into a passive position, so naturally the sooner the better.
"Okay, everyone, go back and take the time to adjust your breath and recover. The battle at night will never be easy." Li Zhirui interrupted everyone's conversation and walked into a quiet room first.
After the Li family, many forces arrived one after another. Except for a few forces, all the forces in the mountains arrived.
"Set off!"
Following the Zhang family's order, tens of thousands of monks immediately attacked, and various spiritual lights interacted with each other, turning the night into day.
The demon tribe had no idea that the monks would attack them first. They had dispersed the army in order not to be exposed, but now this approach has brought a lot of trouble to the demon tribe.
Because they did not form a large army, they instead dispersed into small teams. After the monks seized the opportunity, they gave them a severe lesson. As soon as the war started, the demon tribe suffered a lot of casualties.
"Damn it! What happened? The monks knew about it in advance and took action first." A certain sixth-level demon roared angrily.
"Pursuing this will not solve any problem. The most important thing now is to fight back the monks! And occupy the super large sixth-order fine gold vein."
"That's right! So call the clan members together now and let those monks who don't know how to live or die learn our strength!"
The discovery of the sixth-level fine gold vein was the fundamental reason why the demon clan launched a war!
This mineral vein is distributed at the junction of the demon clan and a certain force, and the trend of the mineral vein is towards the monks. In other words, the fine gold on the monks' side is better and more, and there may even be seventh-level fine gold.
You must know that fine gold is an extremely precious spiritual object. When refining a magic weapon, adding a portion of fine gold will make the magic weapon very tough and its lethality will also be increased.
Seventh-level fine gold can even be used in the refining of fairy magic weapons, which shows how valuable it is.
Faced with such a priceless mineral vein, how could the demon clan give up?
He doesn't even plan to mine his own fine gold first, but directly drives all the monks out of the mountains. As long as he succeeds, he can mine this fine gold vein as he wants without worrying about being discovered by the monks.
But who would have thought that the monks not only noticed their weird behavior in advance, but also took action in advance to break the demon clan's plan. (End of chapter)
