Chapter 6248 Plot

As the head of the Tao family, Tao Yongheng made the Tao family stronger, not only because of his own talent and strength, but also because of his wisdom.

The war against Lingjiu Mountain was not just a whim, but a premeditated plan.

He used Lin Ning's identity to lure a Star Lord from Lingjiu Mountain to the City on the Clouds, and killed the opponent with thunderous means, greatly weakening the power of Lingjiu Mountain.

Then, before Lingjiu Mountain could react, he launched a powerful attack on various strongholds in Lingjiu Mountain and occupied many mineral veins, medicinal fields and other resource points in Lingjiu Mountain.

Although Lingjiu Mountain was not attacked, it also caused heavy losses to Lingjiu Mountain.

What makes people feel strange is that the City on the Cloud has never sent anyone to attack. Where can it find the manpower to attack the various strongholds in Lingjiu Mountain?

This question not only puzzled Lingjiu Mountain, but also surprised the City on the Clouds.

It wasn't until Tao Yongming led his people back to the City on the Clouds that everyone knew that it was Tao Yongming and his people who had attacked the Lingjiu Mountain stronghold.

During the civil strife in the City on the Clouds, brothers Tao Yongheng and Tao Yongming turned against each other, which not only affected the development of the City on the Clouds, but even the situation in the entire Tiannan Territory.

But no one thought that all this was a show arranged by Tao Yongheng.

The so-called hawks versus doves and the battle of ideas are all fake.

In fact, Tao Yongheng took this opportunity to arrange for Tao Yongming and others to develop secretly outside Yunshang City, and then launch an attack on Lingjiu Mountain when necessary to achieve an unexpected effect.

In other words, Tao Yongheng had started arranging and preparing for the conquest of Lingjiu Mountain decades ago.

Even his marriage to Lin Ning was part of the plan.

No one can understand why Tao Yongheng was so radical and chose Lingjiu Mountain, the most powerful place in the Zhonghao world, as his target.

If he wants resources and hegemony, he can attack Guxuan Island.

Although Guxuan Island is also one of the top forces, compared with Lingjiu Mountain, it is still slightly inferior and easier to defeat.

As for Songfeng Chanyuan, they had nothing to contend with and had few resources, so no one would bother them.

Therefore, Tao Yongheng's targeting of Lingjiu Mountain is a mystery to the uninitiated.

Yu Lu used many connections to find out the answer to this puzzle, but he still couldn't find it.

After Tao Yongheng started the war, Lingjiu Mountain, which had long planned to attack the City on the Clouds, immediately launched a powerful counterattack.

But the city above the clouds has been prepared for a long time, and solid protective formations have been set up in most of the important strongholds.

More strongholds have been hidden over the years, and only Tao Yongheng and a handful of close associates and senior officials know about them, so even Lin Ning cannot pass this information back to Lingjiu Mountain.

As a result, most of the strongholds in the City on the Clouds are safe and sound, and the teleportation array is preserved, giving them transportation convenience and advantages.

However, Bayin Pavilion did not escape the disaster.

It's not that Tao Yongheng gave up on Bayin Pavilion, but he didn't expect that Lingjiu Mountain had already arranged people to lurk around Bayin Pavilion, ready to attack at any time.

Not only that, Lingjiu Mountain also set up a large formation in the Desert of Death.

So when City on the Cloud notified Bayin Pavilion, although Bayin Pavilion cultivators evacuated in time, many people were too late and were killed by Lingjiu Mountain's formations and cultivators.

The loss of Bayin Pavilion is mainly a loss of personnel for the City on the Clouds, but after all, the main power of the City on the Clouds is above the clouds, and the foundation of the Tao family has not been shaken.

Therefore, City on the Cloud next launched a more ferocious attack on Lingjiu Mountain.

Moreover, Tao Yongheng showed the power of the Eighth Level Star Lord at this time. Only then did everyone know that he had advanced to the Eighth Level Star Lord.

Originally, the mountain owner of Lingjiu Mountain, as the Eighth Star Lord, was Lingjiu Mountain's greatest support.

He didn't even pay attention to the raid on the City Above the Clouds.

But when Tao Yongheng's realm was exposed, the situation suddenly became different.

Both forces are very large and have deep foundations. The leaders of both sides understand that it is impossible to really drive out the other party in the end.

Unless Tao Yongheng was killed slowly according to Lingjiu Shan's plan, it was a pity that the plan failed.

Nowadays, the purpose of City on the Cloud and Lingjiu Mountain is very simple. While killing more powerful opponents and weakening the opponent's strength, they also occupy the opponent's resources and weaken the opponent's ability to develop sustainably.

In this way, the party that gains the advantage will become stronger and stronger.

The weaker party will develop slowly.

Therefore, the purpose of both sides is not to fight to the death, but to determine the winner and the ownership of resources.

In this case, Tao Yongheng and the mountain master of Lingjiu Mountain will not appear on the frontal battlefield, and will only be responsible for dispatching and commanding, and sit in charge of the central army.

The two of them must never fight.

Because they all understand that they cannot afford to lose and cannot win.

Because cultivators of the same level are one on one, unless one has an absolute advantage in external force, it will be difficult to kill the other in a battle.

If you lose, the family and power behind it will be completely destroyed.

Even if you win, your opponent will remain a hidden danger, and no one can cure it except yourself.

Therefore, the war between City on the Cloud and Lingjiu Mountain has been going on for some time, but the two powerful Eighth-Level Star Lords have never fought against each other.

As for his subordinates Star Master and Saint Master, they are arranged to face each other in various important battlefields. The City on the Cloud has gained certain advantages through many years of potential management.

Lin Ning, Tao Sui, mother and son were placed under house arrest by Tao Yongheng.

Tao Sui, who was originally high-spirited, just wanted to inherit the throne and rise to the top in one step, but he never expected that he would end up like this.

He was also ruthless, and immediately expressed his intention to break away from the mother-son relationship with his mother, and was willing to follow his father to conquer Lingjiu Mountain. He could also swear an oath to follow the sky and never compete for the inheritance of the family head, and he would devote himself to assisting his sister Tao Xiaotong in the future.

Despite this, Tao Yongheng still did not trust Tao Yongheng and locked him up.

Luckily for Tao Yongheng, he was a Saint Master, so he didn't need to worry too much, as long as someone was keeping an eye on him.

But Lin Ning is a sixth-level star master and a top expert, so he must be imprisoned.

Therefore, Lin Ning, the team leader's wife, had a really hard time.

But who would have expected that Tao Yongheng's bodyguard commander, a subordinate he trusted very much, betrayed the Tao family and rescued Tao Sui.

If Lin Ning had not been trapped in the formation, only Tao Yongheng could open the formation, otherwise Lin Ning would have been rescued.

What's even more surprising is that when Tao Sui was rescued, Tao Xiaotong was also snatched away.

Immediately afterwards, Tao Yongheng got the news from Lingjiu Mountain. His son and daughter were both in Guiyuan Mountain and were being detained. Their lives were not in danger for the time being.

Lingjiu Mountain did not put forward any other conditions, nor did it threaten Tao Yongheng.

But the location of Guiyuan Mountain is very sensitive.

Because Guiyuan Mountain is the largest mineral vein in Lingjiu Mountain, and it contains a large amount of star stone deposits.
