Staying in the sect, controlling beasts and cultivating immortals

Huang Xiren looked worried and said:

"If that time comes, our Wuzhou cultivators will suffer heavy losses."

"The other states are unwilling to take further action. How should Wuzhou respond?"

"I'm afraid they'll take advantage of our misfortune! And Wuzhou doesn't have the strength to settle accounts with them!"

"Wouldn't we just have to suffer in silence?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Changsheng chuckled and said:

"Hehe, I did this without expecting anything in return, only to drive the Yuan Clan off this land."

"Let them go back to where they belong!"

"Since we're going to make a move, we should go all out from the start."

"Otherwise, it would be a waste of effort to give the Yuan Clan a chance to catch their breath."

"Besides, the Huangpu family has been eyeing us covetously all along. If we don't go all out..."

"They're not going all out, so whether they can defeat the Yuan Clan is still unknown."

"Even if we can defeat the Yuan Clan, the losses will be heavy, and we will no longer have the strength to contend with the Huangpu family."

Huang Xiren said, "My lord, didn't you say you wanted to divert the trouble eastward, leading those Yuan clans to the Huangpu family, so that they would fight against the Yuan clans?"

"If that's the case, why bother putting in so much effort?"

Yu Changsheng said, "Even if that's the case, we should first provoke those Yuan Clan members."

"Without sufficient strength, how could it be possible to do so?"

"In short, I am well aware of this matter."

"Moreover, even the strongest states of Yongzhou and Fuzhou only have three Nascent Soul cultivators each."

“We have five Nascent Soul cultivators. Miao Yuan’s condition is unclear, but if he improves, he can be considered half a Nascent Soul cultivator.”

"As long as the forces at this level have the upper hand, we are not afraid of them turning against us."

Huang Xiren had no choice but to agree. Although he still had some worries, since Yu Changsheng had made up his mind, he had no choice but to continue to comply.

In the following day, Yu Changsheng quickly gathered the strength of various sects in Wuzhou.

Then, the resources were allocated uniformly according to the different sects.

Five armies were formed, each led by several Purple Mansion cultivators.

Of course, Yu Changsheng and the other four Nascent Soul cultivators served as the commanders of these five groups of cultivators.
Miao Yuan can only barely stay alive now.

However, it will take at least half a month to resume operations.

Even with good luck, it might take several years to recover and reach peak strength.

Therefore, Miao Yuan can't be relied on much.

Coincidentally, after most of the forces in Wanxiang City were transferred away, the city needed someone to stabilize it.

Miao Yuan is well-suited for this position, serving as a pillar of strength to stabilize the city's morale.

As long as he occasionally shows up to indicate that Miao Yuan's injuries are not serious, at least there will be a Nascent Soul cultivator in the city to keep things in order and prevent chaos.

In addition, Yu Changsheng also urgently raised another batch of pills and talismans to provide clothing for these cultivators.

This time, the quantity was so enormous that it completely emptied the current storage of the Miao and Huang families.

The savings accumulated by the two families over the years have been almost completely depleted.

However, Huang Xiren and Miao Yuan did not resist this, but instead encouraged the elders below to cooperate actively.

Although this drew dissatisfaction from some elders, the two patriarchs were surprisingly resolute in their attitude toward this matter.

Because both of them were very clear about this.

As long as Yu Changsheng can defeat the Huangpu family of Qingzhou, he will reap the benefits.

It will far exceed the expenditure of these pills. By then, the Huang family and the Miao family will become the strongest families in the new Eastern Wilderness.

Outside Vientiane.

The rows of monks were also fully prepared to set off.

Guo Ming looked at the group of cultivators from the Lesser Refining Sect behind him with a solemn expression.

This time, Yu Changsheng rallied all the cultivators of Wuzhou to go to Fuzhou to fight against the Yuan Clan.

In fact, it aroused resistance from many cultivators.

After all, many cultivators in Wuzhou had already personally experienced the terror of the Abyss Clan.

This time, he even took the initiative to go to Fuzhou to help others, which naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of many people.

Nobody wants to go and die, especially when facing the terrifying Abyss Clan.

Guo Ming, naturally, also had very mixed feelings about this.

After all, he had just taken over as the sect leader.

But the Laughing Refining Sect is in dire straits.

Now only a few dozen disciples remain in the sect.

In addition, the previous sect leader was even worse, and secretly left several disciples who were dissatisfied with this.

This naturally included the original senior brother.

The eldest disciple knew that after Guo Ming became the sect leader, he would definitely not have a good time either.

So he secretly took a few disciples with whom he had a good relationship and left to start his own sect.

Nan Ying had secretly told Guo Ming that it would be best to take this opportunity to eliminate the threat completely.

To betray one's master is a sin of betraying one's master and ancestors.

The senior brother's actions inadvertently gave them an opportunity.

They can openly and legitimately carry out the pursuit.

Then we can rightfully eliminate the eldest brother and resolve this scourge.

Otherwise, the Grand Master would definitely find a way to protect Guo Ming and secretly take action against him.

However, Guo Ming still couldn't bring himself to make a move against his fellow disciples.

Moreover, the senior disciple's departure was with the former sect leader's consent.

It's likely that the former sect leader didn't want his fellow disciples to fight amongst themselves.

It was actually a better choice for the eldest brother to leave.

Now that the former sect leader has taken this attitude, it's even less likely that Guo Ming would go against his wishes and kill his senior brother.

Although this move may seem somewhat lenient and akin to nurturing a tiger that will eventually turn on you.

But Guo Ming also had his own considerations. If he were to start a massacre as soon as he became the sect leader...

He ruthlessly killed his senior brother, with whom he had a grudge, and also implicated several other departed fellow disciples.

It's inevitable that it will leave a bad impression on the disciples of the Laughing Refining Sect today.

For Guo Ming, the sect was more important than his personal grudges.

Although Brother Yin wanted to continue persuading him, he knew that Guo Ming's nature was just that kind and innocent.

That's why Nan Ying was willing to follow Guo Ming.

"Since the sect leader has made a decision, this disciple has no choice but to obey."

"But we still can't let our guard down with our senior brother."

"It would be best to secretly send disciples to follow, or try to bribe those disciples who have defected from the sect."

"What if our senior brother one day decides he doesn't want to be grateful for our help and even tries to harm the Laughing Refining Sect?"

"We were well prepared in advance."

Nan Ying's concerns were not unfounded, so he gave Nan Ying some spirit stones and then said:

"Alright, I'll leave this matter to you!"

"Yes, Master!"

Seeing that Guo Ming did not refuse, Nan Ying breathed a slight sigh of relief, and was also glad that Guo Ming was not an inflexible pushover.

He then turned around to deal with the matter.

After Nan Ying left, Guo Ming looked at the other disciples of the Xiaolian Sect around him and couldn't help but feel worried.

Compared to his senior brother's departure, this battle of Fuzhou worried him even more.

Of these fifty disciples of the Laughing Refining Sect, how many will actually return alive?

However, after hearing about what had happened outside, Guo Ming remained grateful to Yu Changsheng. Otherwise, the Laughing Refining Sect might not even have had these fifty people.

Soon, the army of cultivators from Wuzhou also began to set off one after another.

They traveled to the border area of ​​Fuzhou.

At the same time, the other states also dispatched their forces to Fuzhou in an emergency.

They are preparing to launch a joint attack on the Yuan tribe in Fuzhou.

Qingzhou Imperial City.

Inside the palace.

A chief eunuch strode into the palace and handed an urgent report to Emperor Huangfu Hongxuan of Qingzhou.

"Your Majesty, a new urgent message has arrived. Please take a look."

The eunuch placed the message on the table and then slowly withdrew.

Huangpu Hongxuan opened it and snorted coldly.

"It seems that the people from those four states have indeed begun to take action."

"Your Majesty, could it be that the people of these four states are indeed as restless as the news has suggested?"

Huangpu Hongxuan snorted coldly, a playful expression on his face:
"It seems that the people of these four states have long been dissatisfied with my Qingzhou."

"This time, they actually skipped over Qingzhou and formed some kind of Anti-Abyss Alliance!"

"What appears to be a rebellion against the Yuan clan is actually a pretext to target Qingzhou!"

“Your Majesty, the people of these four states originally submitted to Your Majesty, but that was only a temporary measure. They should have been severely punished long ago.”

"Let them know that His Majesty's favor is not to be disrespected."

Huangpu Hongxuan said, "Hmph! Let them have their fun for a while."

"After all, dealing with these Abyss Clan members is a bit more troublesome."

"It's not too late to make a move after those bandits from the four states and the Yuan clan have fought to the death."

A eunuch standing nearby said, "I'm afraid those cultivators from the four states won't be easily manipulated."

"If they head straight for Qingzhou, Your Majesty should prepare accordingly."

Huangpu Hongxuan said:
"How could I not know that?"

"However, with these remnants of their army, how could they possibly pose any threat to my Qingzhou Imperial City?"

"If they dare to openly attack Qingzhou, we will make sure they die without a burial place."

“Those cultivators from the four states are not all fools. The strength of my Qingzhou has long surpassed that of the four states. There must be some among them who dare not attack us.”

"At that time, with just a little coercion and enticement, they will be able to create chaos on their own."

"Why should the people of Qingzhou have to take action?"

The eunuch standing nearby then flattered, "Your Majesty is wise and mighty; this old servant admires you immensely."

Huangpu Hongxuan chuckled and said:

"As long as the spies of those cultivators from those four states are still around, what do I have to fear!"

"These cultivators from the four states, even if they unite, are nothing but a disorganized mess! They are not worth mentioning!"

"On the contrary, that group of Yuan Clan members who came to Qingzhou earlier are quite troublesome!"

A eunuch standing nearby said, "Yes, these Yuan clans refuse to launch an attack on the Qingzhou Imperial City."

"On the contrary, they caused destruction everywhere in Qingzhou! Leaving many places in a mess!"

"There are now two Yuan Clan armies in Qingzhou, and it seems that one of them came from Cangzhou."

Huangpu Hongxuan's face gradually darkened upon hearing this.

"These useless trash from Cangzhou couldn't hold out so quickly! They were all wiped out by the Yuan Clan!"

"These Yuan Clan members actually dared to come to my Qingzhou and cause trouble at the lower levels! They deserve to die!"

"Where are those people in Cangzhou now?"

The eunuch said, "A spy reported earlier that Tuoba Xin, the patriarch of Cangzhou, and others suddenly left Cangzhou and went to Wuzhou."

"Then they stayed near MixC, waited there for half a day, and then left in a hurry."

Huangpu Hongxuan snorted coldly, "It seems the people of Cangzhou are still restless."

"They've already wiped out most of them from the Abyss Clan, yet they still dare to harbor wicked intentions!"

"Immediately send out a message via jade slip to summon Tuoba Xin and the other two. I want to see what they're up to!"

"What if Tuoba Xin doesn't come? I'm afraid he won't listen to us!"

Huangfu Hongxuan said with a cold expression, "If this Tuoba Xin really dares to defy me, then don't blame me for taking action against him!"

"When necessary, we must make an example of someone to scare others!"

"Old slave understands!"

Fuzhou.

This place is located at the junction of Qingzhou and Cangzhou.

Fuzhou is a mountainous region, so most of the sects here are located on the mountains.

It is precisely because of this that Fuzhou was able to persist for such a long time.

Although the Abyss Clan's burrows are troublesome, it's impossible for them to dig directly up the mountain.

The monks of Fuzhou also discovered this.

The higher the altitude, the weaker the power of the Nayuan Clan.

That is why Fuzhou was able to hold out for so long.

At this moment, one of the main cities of Fuzhou was also under siege by the Yuan Clan.

City Lord Xuan Sang stared intently at the Yuan Clan army that was attacking again, his gaze heavy.

The Nascent Soul cultivators inside the city had already gone out to fight.

They fought together with the opposing Twin-Horned Abyss Clan.

The cultivators within the city were already engaged in fierce battle with the Yuan Clan army.

Xuan Sang's expression was solemn. The Yuan Clan had come with great force and had already launched two attacks on the main city.

Each attack was more ferocious than the last.

Now, this city has reached its limit.

If reinforcements don't arrive soon, he'll probably have no choice but to abandon the city and leave.

Roar!
A roar came from the sky, and the Twin-Horned Abyss Clan suddenly erupted, sending the Xuan Family Ancestor, who was guarding the city, flying with a single punch.

Then, he actually rushed straight onto the city wall.

Xuan Sang was also greatly alarmed and immediately mobilized all the power of the defensive array to block it.

Given the attack power of these Twin-Horned Abyss Clan members, the defensive array must be reinforced immediately if it is to be used to withstand their attacks.

boom!
However, the speed of the Abyss Clan was too fast, and the formation of the defensive array also required a certain amount of time.

Before that part of the defensive array could be reinforced, the Twin Horned Abyss Clan's attack had already arrived.

Rumble.

Amidst a mournful cry from the defensive array.

The attacks from the Nayuan Clan landed heavily on the defensive array, and the array shattered instantly in the next second.

Many cultivators and ordinary people in the city also showed expressions of fear on their faces.

The shattering of the defensive array also means that the weak within the city are no longer protected.

The cultivators outside the city were simply no match for the terrifying number of Abyss Clan members.

Roar! The Abyss Clan members in the distance roared again and charged into the city like madmen.

For a moment, the cultivators within the city were also filled with despair.
"It's over! We're going to die here today!"

"Run! This city can't hold out any longer!"

"Is the end of the world I've been waiting for finally coming?"

"Damn it, if all else fails, we'll fight these Abyss Clan members to the death!"

Countless Abyss Clan members swarmed in, almost completely covering the sky above the city, pressing down like dark clouds.

Xuan Sang looked up at the sky, activating the magical artifact in his hand, a hint of determination appearing in his eyes. (End of Chapter)
