The world of cultivating immortals does not raise second-rate goods

Returning to Lihuo Palace, Sili handed Guiying Dan to Cao Heng and told him that Jiang Yuan was going to visit him.

Cao Heng didn't react at all, but Yu Mu was very angry.

"Why do you only visit Cao Heng and not me? Jiang Yuan is so contemptuous of others."

Si Li looked at him helplessly.

"Jiang Yuan is the second son of the Taoist Sect, so he is naturally on the same level as Elder Cao."

Yu Mu immediately retorted: "His eldest brother inherited the Taoist Sect, and he is the second eldest brother!"

Si Li:......

Cao Hengquan pretended not to hear the quarrel between the two, and Yu Jian left.

Si Li asked curiously: "What's going on with Cao Heng?"

"I don't know." Yu Mu said nonchalantly, "I guess he did something shameful, and he still couldn't forgive Jiang Yuan, so Jiang Yuan came to see him specifically."

"When did these two get together?"

Yu Mu shook his head.

But they soon learned the truth.

A month later, Jiang Yuan visited Cao Heng in Lihuo Palace. The two whispered behind closed doors, and finally broke up on bad terms.

When leaving, Si Li greeted Jiang Yuan, but Jiang Yuan just nodded stiffly and said nothing else.

Si Li had no choice but to go find Cao Heng, but saw Cao Heng fishing very leisurely. Si Li found the iron plate she bought earlier from the mustard bag. While he was fishing, she was grilling the fish.

"Senior Brother Cao, what's the conflict between you and Jiang Yuan? I remember you two are not familiar with each other?"

Si Li thought Cao Heng would keep silent, but she didn't expect Cao Heng to tell the truth.

It turned out that it was Cao Heng who proposed advancing the Immortal Alliance. He repeatedly told Xu Tan, hoping that Xu Tan could take advantage of Song Shan's trust in her and propose to advance the Immortal Alliance step by step.

After the establishment of the Immortal Alliance, the Immortal Sect was still headed by Tianyan Sect and Lihuo Palace.

The first step in establishing the Immortal Alliance: weakening the strength of Tianyan Sect.Then he led Li Huogong into the situation. After some maneuvers, Tianyan Sect was no longer the sun hanging high above the heads of hundreds of schools.

One whale falls and all things are born, and one thing is declining and the other is growing. If Tianyan Sect's strength is weakened, the sect's strength will definitely increase.

If the incident of refining the Heavenly Man Pill happens again, hundreds of families can attack together.

The benefits of this are obvious. To put it bluntly, the Immortal Alliance is like boiling a frog in warm water to weaken Tianyan Sect - after all, it is too strong and it is not worthwhile to fight head-on.

This will be a multi-decade project.

It's a pity that Taoist Sect is dissatisfied because Jiang Yuan's goal is to destroy Tianyan Sect.

Si Li was shocked and speechless. He did not expect that the idea of ​​the Xian Alliance was proposed by Cao Heng.

"Isn't it Xu Tan's idea?"

Cao Heng rolled his eyes at her and said with a smile: "In Xu Tan's environment, there is no time to think about the future of the Immortal Sect. Only a wealthy and idle person like me can look at the big picture."

This was a bit arrogant, but when I thought about it, it made sense.

Si Li remembered that in his early years, Xu Tan suffered more than ten years of verbal bullying under the attack of his master Ju Shou and his own mother.

It’s good enough not to grow into a monster that harms one party. How can we have the opportunity to think about institutional issues?
Cao Heng was different. He was destined to be an elder when he was three years old, and was determined to be the heir to Lihuo Palace when he was 23 years old. Only such a person would think about institutional issues.

After thinking for a long time, Si Li realized that she was about to be convinced by Cao Heng - Cao Heng told her this to actually ask her to take sides.

Cao Heng didn't rush her and silently brought her baked fish to eat.

Si Li said: "But the conflict between Taoist Sect and Tianyan Sect is irreconcilable..."

Cao Heng did not answer her question directly, but asked instead: "Do you know why the Tianyan Sect didn't come to you after you formed the elixir?"

Si Li shook his head gently.

"Because you are the one who satisfies Lihuo Palace, Tianyan Sect and Taoist Sect. When Yan Guilin takes over and Jiang Yuan takes charge of Taoist Sect, we may not deal with each other, but we will give you face."

Si Li's face turned red after being praised so abruptly. "How about you work hard and become the first leader of the Immortal Alliance?" Cao Heng continued to induce.

Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of his teasing smile, and Si Li suddenly shivered.

"Although your plans are good, they can only be based on the fact that Song Shan is a good person. If you calculate his interests, it is tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger."

The leader of Tianyan Sect is Song Shan, a well-known villain in the world of immortality.

Song Shan's crimes are undeniable. For the benefit of himself and the Tianyan Sect, he will never care about the life and death of others. In his eyes, it is best for all those who oppose him to die.

Si Li paused and continued: "If I were Song Shan, it would be very simple to advance the Immortal Alliance. First, destroy the Taoist Sect."

After all, it is clear that Taoist Sect wants to destroy Tianyan Sect.

"When the time comes, Song Shan forces you to choose between the Immortal Alliance and the Taoist Sect, otherwise he will provoke a war, and I'm afraid you will lose everything."

Therefore, by cooperating with Song Shan, there is a high probability that Lihuo Palace will become Tianyan Sect's sword to eradicate dissidents.

"You are quite smart." Cao Heng said.

Si Li leaned closer to him and whispered: "Since you can propose the Immortal Alliance strategy and convince Xu Tan, don't tell me that you have no backup plan."

"The backup plan is to reestablish order after the war." Cao Heng sighed, "Once a war breaks out, there will be bloodshed."

He looked up at the sky.

Si Li sighed, the current world of cultivating immortals was undercurrent.

Cao Heng hopes for a peaceful resolution, but the direction of the matter is beyond his control.

"Be prepared with both hands. We will wait for the victory of the Divine Artifact Villa and see the reaction of the Tianyan Sect. According to the progress of the Tianyan Sect, after the northwest sect becomes powerful, the branch sect will become independent.

If this step can be passed smoothly, many fewer people will die in the follow-up, but the situation is not optimistic..."

Si Li said: "What went wrong again?"

Tianyan Sect cannot accept the tribute from the branch sect, and the subsidiary sect is only one name away from becoming independent. This step should be a logical step.

Of course, Tianyan Sect will focus on disrupting a few sects, but it will not affect the overall trend.

"When the gourd is pressed, the gourd rises. Sanxantang also wants to take the opportunity to seek independence, so..."

Si Li was shocked.

Sanxantang is the money bag of Tianyan Sect. Once they change, Song Shan will feel a huge financial crisis.

In order to avoid trouble in Sanxantang, Song Shan would definitely say, "If you are not worried about the lack of numbers but about the inequality, then you can continue to be a subsidiary sect."

All the hard work in the early stage will be in vain.

Cao Heng turned his face, stared into her eyes, and said calmly: "So I decided to give up inheriting Lihuo Palace and go to Zhongdu City to take charge of affairs. You can come with me."

Zhongdu City is located in the northwest of the Kyushu continent. It is an important place in the northwest and a place of chaos.

Of course, it is also adjacent to the Iron Blood Hall.

He went to Zhongdu City to unite the Iron Blood Hall and the Taoist Sect to prepare for war.

Si Li couldn't help being surprised and blurted out: "You... the next palace master of Lihuo Palace, you are almost on an equal footing with Song Shan..."

In Lihuo Palace, Cao Heng had to worry about being constrained by the name of the next palace master.

As long as he gives up his status as a successor and simply becomes an elder, everything he does in Zhongdu City can be his personal behavior.

If the commotion becomes too big and cannot be stopped, Dong Xuan only needs to expel him, just like Yu Qiubai back then.

"Killing Su Jianren or Song Shan can only take temporary revenge. Only changing the order can truly solve the problem. I hope you can join."

At that moment, Si Li seemed to see the holy light in him.

After a long while, Si Li said: "If Fu Sui is not eliminated, I won't be able to take action."

"I understand that going to Zhongdu City does not conflict with killing Fusui. As the saying goes, knowing yourself and the enemy will never end a hundred battles. Before killing her, you should test her depth first."
