Journey to the head

Senior sister, Lin Le, it’s really hard to choose.

From an emotional point of view, although his senior sister and he support each other and are his warmest harbor, Lin Le does not give in too much. This child has followed me along the way and has played a huge role in the affairs of the sect. His personality and behavior are also perfect. He is really his right-hand man, and because of his talent, he makes people feel pity for him.

From the perspective of the applicability of True Dragon's Blood, it should be Senior Sister. The senior sister's three-series spiritual roots and ice magic practice can give full play to the advantages of precious blood. She will definitely have great achievements in the future. From now on, she can become a reliable support for herself, whether in sect management or on the battlefield.

In contrast, since Lin Le has the consciousness treasure, he will not focus on the magic method, and the talent of the true dragon's body veins is a bit wasted.

But if you look at the level of need for the true dragon's blood, of course it is Lin Le. With the support of the sect's resources, senior sister's cultivation speed has improved, and she is at a good level among the three spiritual roots. There is always hope for the path. But whether Lin Le can build a foundation is still a question mark. If he fuses dragon blood and extends his lifespan, he can always push through the foundation building threshold in time.

For a long time, I have had an idea in my mind. Although he never said this to Lin Le personally, Lu Qian always remembered the promise he made silently.

If you really encounter an opportunity, I will work hard to fight for you.

Now the opportunity is right in front of us. How many times can we have such an opportunity to change our destiny in our lifetime? Even if I gave it to senior sister this time, I thought I would give it to Lin Le next time, but is there really a next time?
Lu Qian's heart trembled, as he seemed to see Lin Le's tear-filled eyes at the apprenticeship ceremony.

He was really miserable.

He is too good.

The balance in his heart was deflected. At this moment, the formation outside the door was suddenly touched again.

Lu Qian woke up from his meditation, turned his palm, and the true dragon's blood was once again wrapped in the five elements' spiritual energy and incorporated into his Dantian.

He signaled Ji Yunrou to be silent and opened the silent magic circle.

"Master, are you back?" Lin Le's urgent voice came from outside, "Urgent information, it's the war in Dongping County!"

Before he could sigh about who was coming, Lin Le's words surprised Lu Qian.

Ji Yunrou is also very concerned about the affairs of the Mingyu Sword Sect. Although she can no longer return, she still has feelings for this former Sect and Zangfeng Zhenren.

But now he couldn't let her attend the meeting together, so Lu Qian asked her to be careful and hurried out the door. Although Ji Yunrou likes to tease, she has a very clear account in her heart, so she will naturally stay honest and not cause trouble at such times.

Only when I got out of the door did I realize that while I was struggling with my thoughts, the night had passed and the sky was bright. The Yunshan sect's foundation builders had all returned long ago, but seeing that Lu Qian's door was closed, they expected to have something important to deal with, so they didn't bother him.

But now that he had received an urgent summons from the intelligence team, Lin Le did not dare to neglect, so he had to ask Lu Gan out.

With the latest information in front of him, Lu Qian rubbed his brows, suppressed the feeling of fatigue, and ordered in a deep voice: "Invite several elders and acting elders to the meeting hall for a meeting."

A moment later, Wang Yu, Yang Jiye, Jiang Qingfeng, Wu Yan, and Zheng Duan arrived. Seeing that Lu Qian in the main seat was indeed safe and without any signs of injury, the foundation builders finally breathed a sigh of relief.

That night they all wondered whether Lu Qian was affected by the subsequent incident of the arrival of the true immortal, so they thanked the guests behind closed doors after returning to the mountain gate. Now that they saw that nothing happened, they felt relieved.

At this moment, they also have a lot of questions to ask. After all, they evacuated early and the story after the space channel was opened is not clear. It is related to the legendary true immortal, to the situation in Cangzhou, and even the entire Yuheng Continent. So what? Can make people worry less.

In addition, Wu Yan bit her lip when she saw Lin Le. He clearly has consciousness, but he still refuses to see himself in private. Why can he be so hard-hearted?

But the first thing now is the battle situation in Dongping County.

"Lin Le, come and tell everyone."

Lin Le gave a salute and waved his hand, and a huge map of the ten northwest counties of Cangzhou was suspended. Various sects and sects and colored light spots were connected together. The arrows marking the march of the monk army and the color blocks marking the contested and occupied areas were clear at a glance.

After listening to a few words carefully, several elders and acting elders also became serious.

In addition to Dongping County's traditional ally Huaiyou County, Junle County also suddenly joined the war!
Previously, the coalition forces of the Mingyu Sword Sect and the Huanggen Sect had been advancing vigorously, and had successfully penetrated into the hinterland of Dongping County. The army had pushed through one-third of the territory of Dongping County!
But last night Master Xuan Jing from Junle County suddenly joined the battle, led the Junle monks to make a detour and attack, and easily captured the rear of the coalition forces. At this moment, they were firmly behind the coalition forces.

As a result, the military strength of the three counties of Junle, Dongping, and Huaiyou surrounded the Mingyu Sword Sect and the Huanggen Sect coalition forces in Dongping County!
"It looks like the situation is not good." Yang Jiye smacked his mouth, "There have been signs of the three counties uniting for a long time. It seems that this battle has become a catalyst for them to make up their mind to unite. In this way, we are alliance against alliance. From now on, It’s a lot of pressure.”

Jiang Qingfeng added: "There are also Sanshan County that are very close to Yuan Zong and them. Although they are restricted by the peace treaty with us and will not join directly, it is still very possible to help them secretly."

After so many years of acting as the foreign affairs elder, Zheng Duan is very familiar with the situation in each county and has become accustomed to looking at problems from the overall situation. He put forward his own suggestion: "It's normal to join forces with Zong and Heng. Why don't we bring Northern County into the alliance?"

Wu Yan nodded, Beiqiao County has always wanted to develop southward, and the first ones to bear the brunt are Sanshan County and Junle County. If we can form an alliance with Beipiao County, geographically it will become Chongming, Liangxiang, Tieyuan, and Beipiao, surrounding Junle, Dongping, Huaiyou, and Sanshan.

Lu Gan coughed lightly: "We can discuss these overall situations later. The most important thing now is that the Mingyu Sword Sect and the Huanggen Sect's coalition forces are surrounded in Dongping County."

Wang Yu spoke. He was still recovering from his injuries and his face was still very pale. However, the situation changed, so he suspended his recovery and rushed over first.

"From a comparison of strength, although the overall military strength of the three counties after the alliance far exceeds that of the two factions of the coalition. However, Master Dongping Yaoming was seriously injured, and the two golden elixirs of Junle and Huaiyou alone could not save the coalition forces. With the ability of Master Zangfeng, Be able to break through the siege calmly.”

"And if he asks me to take action, it will be even more certain. Maybe we can achieve new results."

"It's just..." He paused, "It seems that Master Zangfeng will not ask me for help."

Yang Jiye groaned, quite surprised. Lin Le couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "It is true. It takes time to transmit information. When we receive the information, it means that the incident has been happening for some time. However, we have not received any contact for help from the Mingyu Sword Sect."

Lu Gan sighed softly and calculated that the Junle County raid occurred after he summoned Zangfeng Zhenren and informed him that the monks of the Mingyu Sword Sect headed by Cao Mo had been completely wiped out.

Lu Gan didn't know what Master Zangfeng was thinking after receiving the summons, but after that summons, Master Zangfeng never contacted him again.

Even at this time, there was still no movement from the Mingyu Sword Sect. Everything was self-evident. Master Zangfeng's heart was inevitably filled with doubts and anger.

"Now if we want to help, we have two options." Wang Yu continued, "The first is to ignore the battlefield in Dongping County and attack Junle County directly. Master Xuanjing leads an expedition and Junle County is empty. We can seize both "The second is to march directly to Dongping to join the main battlefield and rescue the coalition forces from danger."

Lu Gan thought for a while and said slowly: "The raid on Junle County seems good, but Master Xuanjing must be prepared. There may be a trap in attacking rashly. In addition, we are not bordering Junle County, so we can't take advantage of it." Even if we attack the ground, we can only capture some goods, but our faction now has a rich inventory and there is no shortage of these. "

"And if we take the initiative to intervene in the battlefield in Dongping County, I'm afraid we won't have this chance."

Wang Yu remained silent, and everyone was puzzled by his meaning. Suddenly, Lin Le's expression changed. He received the latest information. He quickly unfolded it and said in surprise: "Half an hour ago, Mingyu Sword Sect and Huanggen Sect violently broke through the encirclement. Master Xuanjing retreated after being injured. The coalition forces penetrated the encirclement and succeeded. Retreat!"

Sure enough, Master Zangfeng did not hesitate too much and directly chose to break out.

"Master Zangfeng doesn't want to see our faction appear on the battlefield." Wang Yu closed his eyes, "Because he is no longer sure whether the Yunshan faction that appeared in Dongping County after asking our faction for help is here to rescue. Still here to intercept."

"So he simply chose to break out. Even if this would cost a certain amount of money, most of the land that Dongping County had embezzled this time would have to be vomited out."

Lu Gan sighed, this has nothing to do with friendship, in the face of interests, anything can happen. If you are changing places, you should also have this concern.

After all, the Mingyu Sword Sect has one partial division, six foundation builders, four hundred Qi-training elites, and eight floating ships. With the support of the Yunshan Sect, the entire army has been wiped out. If this kind of "support" were to come again now, most of the coalition forces of Mingyu Sword Sect and Huanggen Sect would be buried in Dongping County, and Liangxiang County would become a piece of fish on the chopping board, left to be slaughtered.

With such a huge temptation, can Yunshan Sect not be tempted?

Even if Master Zangfeng trusted Lu Gan and believed in the friendship between the two parties, he would not dare to make this bet now. So he chose to break out of the encirclement. Before the Yunshan faction entered the scene, even if most of the spiritual veins captured in the early stage of the battle were lost, he had to break out and retreat.

"What are the battle losses on both sides?" Yang Jiye asked.

"The specific situation is still under statistics, but the damage is not very large." Lin Le said, "Generally speaking, the golden elixirs of both sides have not been damaged, no more than seven people will be killed in the foundation building battle, and the aerospace ship will be lost. It looks like five to six ships.”

Lu Gan breathed a sigh of relief. The combined losses of both sides were so great that they would not be too much on the coalition forces. The damage was within an acceptable range. I am afraid that the coalition forces will suffer heavy losses, and Zangfeng Zhenren and Ye Xiao will be even more angry at themselves, and the relationship between the two parties will be even more difficult to repair.

"Master Zangfeng broke through decisively. Master Xuanjing from Junle County is only here to support and will not forcefully stop them. Both Dongping and Huaiyou are mainly focused on driving away the coalition forces and have no plans to fight to the death, so the battle losses are not great."

"The intelligence team pays close attention to the situation and writes a letter for me to send to Master Zangfeng. Just say..." Lu Gan pondered for a moment, "Just say that I was seriously injured in the Tianjun Arrival incident, and I will have to recuperate for several years. , I can no longer leave the mountain easily. At the same time, I feel deeply guilty for my failure to protect the fellow Taoists of the Mingyu Sword Sect. This time, I don’t have to share any profits from the Dongping battle. The Yunshan Sect is still willing to help Mingyu. The Sword Faction provides material support.”

Express that he has no intention and inability to compete for supremacy, and at the same time make compensation? Lin Le tried to figure out what Lu Qian meant, kept these in mind, and asked with some confusion: "The Lord of Heaven is coming?"

Lu Gan then remembered that he didn't know about this major event. At the same time, Zhu Ji had already retreated when the space channel opened, and he didn't know what happened next. So he simply told the story from beginning to end. Of course, the follow-up became that he watched from below from beginning to end, and then withdrew after watching the excitement.

"Write the whole story of Tianjun's arrival in the letter and explain it to Master Zangfeng."

In fact, such a big thing will soon spread throughout the entire state, and even spread to surrounding state capitals. By then, even ordinary disciples will know this shocking story through word of mouth.

However, Lu Qian had the first-hand perspective of this incident. After informing the real person Zangfeng, when the rumors spread and the real person confirmed it, he naturally knew that what he said was true, and he would have a better understanding of the Yunshan sect's powerlessness at the time.

Lin Le left in a hurry, and Lu Qian chatted with everyone for a few more words, asking everyone to perform their duties and stay in their territory. Then he suddenly remembered something and asked doubtfully: "Where is the jade dragon?"

It's impossible to get lost. With the induction of Ni Scale Blood Rui, you can find it no matter where you escape. Even Lu Gan didn't need to look for it. He only had to activate the blood jar and the jade dragon would come to report obediently.

However, Lu Gan did not touch the blood jar in the end, and found the jade dragon in a deep waterfall near the foot of Longshou Peak.

The pale dragon has shrunk itself to a length of several feet, coiled in the deep pool, enjoying the wash of the waterfall, and dozing comfortably.

It is quite satisfied with Mianlong Mountain. On the one hand, it has third-level high-level spiritual veins that far exceed Qianlong Stream. On the other hand, it feels that the name "Mianlong Mountain" suits itself too well.

After an on-site inspection, it chose this waterfall dozens of feet high and the deep pool below as its residence, and carved a few words crookedly on the boulder next to the waterfall.

"Linglong Waterfall" and "Jade Dragon Pond".

After admiring his own calligraphy that looked like ghostly drawings for a while, and breathing in the air of the water under the waterfall for a while, Jade Dragon was about to go to bed when he suddenly felt the terrifying aura coming.

"Lord." So it reluctantly poked its head out of the pool and paid homage to Lu Gan.

Lu Qian was happy. Because of the beautiful scenery of this waterfall, deep pool, and stream, the Yunshan Sect moved the entrance to the mountain gate here during the Mianlong Mountain reconstruction project.

From the archway of the Yunshan Sect, enter the mountain guarding formation, and then climb a hundred feet on the mountain road, you can see this waterfall that looks like an upside-down waterfall with misty clouds.

Now Yujiao is very sensible and has moved in by himself, taking the initiative to take on the important task of guarding the mountain gate.

"You can live here with peace of mind. I won't let you play around." Lu Gan nodded at him and taught him how to identify Yunshan disciples and told him a few rules. Such as protecting Yunshan disciples, protecting the mountain gate, repelling enemies, not leaving the country without reason, etc.

Seeing the jade dragon nodding there, Lu Qian couldn't help but laugh, and all the thoughts in his heart became lighter.

With the Golden Core-level mountain-protecting spirit beasts, the Yunshan Sect is becoming more and more powerful.

At this moment, a bolt of lightning came and rushed straight to the mountain gate!
Jade Jiao had just received the order, and when he saw the uninvited guest coming to his door, he immediately cheered up and wanted to perform well.

It suddenly stretched its body, circled and flew into the air, and shouted: "Hey! Who doesn't have eyes?"

Halfway through the words, when it felt the visitor's spiritual pressure, it shrank back and hid behind Lu Gan, where it poked its head and looked around.

Lu Gan was dumbfounded as he greeted the visitor. The golden toad stared with bloody eyes and croaked at the jade dragon, which frightened it into hiding in the pool.

"Lu Qian, you have to come with me." The lazy Taoist Xichan yawned, "You have enough respect this time. The four gates have summoned you to ask questions." (End of this chapter)
