Family Cultivation: Evergreen of the Song Family
Chapter 522: The Situation Changes Suddenly
The small Tianniu Mountain has now become the focus of the Da Qi cultivation world, the Dayu cultivation world, and even the Gusu cultivation world. The eyes of countless people in the three worlds have gathered here, and they are all paying attention to the subsequent development of this conflict.
After all, once the war breaks out, no one will be spared.
Among them, the forces in the Da Qi cultivation world were the ones who paid the most attention to the development of events. After Song Changsheng returned from Luoxia City, Feng Zhongyi, the Lord of the Demon Subduing Hall, and Hua Ruoxi, the Lord of the Huansha Sect, came to visit him one after another.
In addition to reminiscing about the past, the main purpose was to find out the attitudes of the two sects and one city towards this matter. Everyone knows that although the two sects and one city have been fighting openly and secretly, they will definitely keep each other informed on these matters.
They all knew that the Jindan Zhenren from the two sects and one city had met, but the specific outcome was still unclear.
It was no secret that Song Changsheng became Mu Guibai's disciple. They all wanted to get the latest information from him.
"My two fellow Taoists, I don't know more about this matter than you do. I just came back from Luoxia City and didn't see my master. I only know that he went to meet the Jindan Zhenren of the two sects." Looking at the two people with expectant faces, Song Changsheng could only shrug helplessly, indicating that he was powerless.
"But... I heard that you recently withdrew a group of people from Xiangzhou. Is this... really not inside information?"
Song Changsheng looked at him in surprise. Fengyu Palace had indeed withdrawn a group of personnel from Xiangzhou recently, but it was a secret evacuation. However, now it seems that everyone knows this "secret".
However, how could the Demon-Suppressing Palace and the Huansha Sect, who have been able to remain standing through so many storms, not have any foundation or their own intelligence system?
The intelligence network is a place where you are in me and I am in you. You infiltrate me and I incite you to defect. It is a mixture of truth and falsehood. It is only normal for me to know the news of his withdrawal.
The Song family also holds a lot of information related to the Huansha Sect and the Demon-Suppressing Palace. Although they are on good terms with each other, they still have to get the necessary information.
It would be best if everyone kept this matter to themselves.
Song Changsheng shook his head slightly and said, "Really? I haven't even seen my master."
Seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, Feng Zhongyi sighed quietly.
Then he adjusted himself and said, "If it really comes to that, the three of us must unite and help each other."
Song Changsheng and Hua Ruoxi naturally agreed readily. None of their families wanted to start a war, and the territories they controlled were all similar areas. It would be best if they could reach a consensus. The three families combined would be a force that could not be ignored.
But he couldn't help but tease, "The Demon Subduing Hall never participates in fights, and is the vanguard against the Blood Demon Cult. Even if it comes to that, the impact on the Demon Subduing Hall should be minimal. But why does Hall Master Feng look more nervous than me and Sect Master Hua?"
Feng Zhongyi sighed and said, "How can we really stay out of it when we are in the vortex? Do you think the remnants of the Blood Demon Cult will give up such a great opportunity, Brother Song?
Over the years, the palace has suffered heavy losses, and its manpower has never recovered. If a demonic disaster occurs, how can the palace resist it?"
"If the demonic disaster reoccurs in the southwest, our Song family will definitely not stand idly by. Please rest assured on this point, Brother Feng." Song Changsheng was the first to express his position. The Blood Demon Cult was also the mortal enemy of the Song family. He absolutely supported dealing with the Blood Demon Cult with both hands and feet.
Hua Ruoxi followed suit and said, "It is our duty as a righteous sect to eliminate demons and defend the Way. If a demonic disaster occurs, our Huansha Sect will definitely not fall behind."
"Then I'll leave it to you two fellow Taoists." Feng Zhongyi bowed sincerely. He believed that the two were not just talking for show. Over the years, the Song family and the Huansha Sect had always been at the forefront in dealing with the Blood Demon.
It is much better than some sects that claim to be the leaders of the righteous path in the Da Qi cultivation world.
Just when Song Changsheng and others were "forming an alliance", another meeting concerning the future of the Da Qi and Dayu cultivation worlds had also ended.
The Jindan Zhenren of Jinwu Sect, Luoxia City and Tianmai Sect have reached an agreement that this war will not be escalated and the Da Qi cultivation world needs peace.
As soon as this decision was made, all those who had been paying attention to this incident breathed a sigh of relief, and the clouds of war that had been hanging over the Da Qi cultivation world seemed to have dissipated.
After putting their worries back in their stomachs, everyone began to sympathize with the Tianjian Sect again. Since the Tianmai Sect had issued such a statement, it meant that it had completely given up on the Tianjian Sect and left it to fend for itself.
To be honest, the decision made by Tianmai Sect this time was somewhat unbelievable. Everyone thought that the worst result was that Tianmai Sect would only help Tianjian Sect to restrict the Jindan cultivators of Tianxiao Sect, and let the combat power below Jindan level solve this matter.
However, no one expected that the Tianmai Sect would give up so decisively and cleanly, and directly sever the relationship between itself and the Tianjian Sect.
Although the Tianjian Sect has a high degree of autonomy, it is nominally a subsidiary of the Tianmai Sect. This behavior is indeed somewhat disheartening.
However, some people believe that the reason why the Tianmai Sect did this was because it had long been dissatisfied with the Tianjian Sect.
Many people could not understand this sentence, but Song Changsheng couldn't help but think of a guess he had made before - Jian Wushuang was in seclusion to break through to the golden elixir stage.
If Jian Wushuang were to break through to the golden elixir stage, the first thing that would be damaged would be the Tianjian Sect’s rule and interests in the eastern part of the Da Qi cultivation world, just like what Luoxia City did to the Jinwu Sect in the past.
However, the rise of Luoxia City actually had little impact on the basic foundation of Jinwu Sect. Instead, it added a powerful barrier to resist the invasion of demons, which can be regarded as complementary.
The situation of the Tianjian Sect is completely different.
To be honest, considering the behavior of Tianjian Sect, it was already very good that Tianmai Sect did not add insult to injury. How could they possibly stand up for Tianjian Sect?
Just when everyone thought that the Tianjian Sect, which had lost its protection, would be crushed by the Tianxiao Sect with great force, an eerie silence suddenly fell between the two sects.
The Tianxiao Sect had clearly already deployed a large number of personnel in Tianniu Mountain, and the voices within the sect requesting a fight were growing louder and louder. However, the Tianxiao Sect remained silent, leaving all those who were paying attention to this incident completely confused.
In fact, all this was due to a private meeting between Tianjian Sect's Grand Elder Zhao Jiu Ming and Master Zhao Ming. No one knew what the two talked about in the room, let alone what kind of agreement or tacit understanding they reached.
From an observer's perspective, the Tianxiao Sect did not withdraw its troops, and was still continuously mobilizing manpower and supplies to Tianniu Mountain.
The Tianjian Sect also deployed a large number of personnel at the border between Xuzhou and the Dayu cultivation world, and even dispatched sky ships as a military deterrent.
It seemed like both sides wanted to fight this battle, but the smell of gunpowder in the air didn't seem as strong as before. No one was sure what they were thinking...
Xuzhou, Wanjian Mountain, Wanjian City, in a special secret room.
A group of people gathered together stealthily. They were wearing standard purple robes, with arcs of electricity jumping all over their bodies. There seemed to be a burnt smell in the air.
Sitting at the top was a tall man with a curly beard. Even his loose robe could not cover his muscles that were full of explosive power. He was like an iron tower.
He had a pair of iconic white eyebrows. He waved his hand casually, signaling everyone present to be quiet, and then looked at the person below him and said, "What did Zhao Jiuming say? Is he willing to be abandoned as a pawn?" "To the guardian, Zhao Jiuming must have had illusions about the people of Tianmai Sect before, so his attitude was a little ambiguous, but now they have seen clearly the true faces of those righteous cultivators.
I contacted him yesterday and he has already shown a clear inclination. I think if we give them some more support, he should completely turn to us. "
The bearded man sneered and said, "How ridiculous! Is Zhao Jiuming a five-year-old kid? Don't they know what they are doing? They even want to get the protection of Tianmai Sect.
If they had chosen to stand with us from the beginning, I would have leveled Tianniu Mountain long ago. It has been wasted so much time and effort.
But it doesn't matter. As long as we can make this battle happen, some losses are acceptable.
Hey, you go contact Zhao Jiuming. No matter what he wants, I can give it to him. Tell him not to be a coward. Even if the Tianxiao Sect comes out in full force, he won't be afraid. He just needs to muddy the water for me. The muddier the better. Then he will get his share of the benefits!"
"Yes."
At this time, a skinny monk stood up and said to the monk who was about to go out to make a message: "Don't be anxious yet."
After stopping him, he looked up at the bearded man and said, "Master Protector, I think Zhao Jiuming's behavior is a little abnormal."
At the moment he spoke, the bearded man's eyes revealed a look of suspicion, but he did not show it directly. Instead, he said with a fake smile: "Does Inspector Lei have any different opinions?"
The skinny monk seemed not to notice his suspicion, and said while twirling his beard with his fingers, "Zhao Jiuming was very firmly opposed to contacting us before.
If not for this, we wouldn't have to carefully plan this big show for them, but now his attitude has changed so quickly that it is really unbelievable.
In addition, although the Tianxiao Sect has deployed troops on the border, they have not taken any action, which is completely different from their previous attitude and does not conform to common sense. "
"So what does Inspector Lei mean?" Anger was already brewing in the bearded man's heart, and his eyes became increasingly cold.
Lei Kanze looked him straight in the eye and said, "I think there is a high possibility of fraud. We should be more cautious and careful. We should first cut off contact with Zhao Jiuming, and even change our assembly point.
Wait and see what happens before deciding whether to contact Zhao Jiuming."
After hearing what he said, although the bearded man thought he was not a good person, he still thought about it carefully and found that what he said made sense. The performance of the Tianjian Sect and the Tianmai Sect was indeed abnormal during this period.
After thinking it over carefully, he nodded calmly and said, "Patrol Envoy Lei has considered it very carefully, but I don't think it is necessary to interrupt contact with Zhao Jiuming.
Hasn't he already decided to join the Thunder King's army? Then let him show some sincerity. As long as I see his sincerity, I will give him whatever he wants.
You, go and send a message to Zhao Jiuming right now, urging him to go to war with Tianxiaomen and test his attitude."
Lei Kanze was a little surprised by the bearded man's attitude. He thought the other party would directly refute him, but he didn't expect that he actually listened to him.
Although the result was quite different from what he expected, he knew the other party's character well and knew that too much is as bad as too little. It was good enough that he could listen to part of it today.
The rest can be slowly persuaded later.
"As ordered."
The monk in charge took the order and hurried down to pass on the message.
Without letting anyone wait any longer, he quickly returned. He bowed to the bearded man and Lei Kanze at the top and said, "Zhao Jiuming sent a reply. He is stalling for time."
"Delay time?" The bearded man's eyes flickered, and his broad hands unconsciously stroked his chin.
"Zhao Jiuming said that he had met with Master Zhaoming in private and used the surrender of Jianxu as a bargaining chip to buy time. That's why both sides have been so calm during this period."
"Is the news true?" Lei Kanze asked.
“According to the report from our spies lurking inside the Tianjian Sect, the situation is true. The two parties did meet in private, but the content of the conversation is unknown.
However, the young master of the Tianjian Sect, Jianxu, is suspected to be under house arrest by Zhao Jiuming."
The bearded man felt a bit of a headache and looked at Lei Kanze and asked, "Patrol Officer Lei, what do you think?"
Lei Kanze pondered for a moment and said meaningfully: "The news should be true, but it is hard to say who he is delaying."
Although Zhao Jiuming's logic is self-consistent, he always thinks there is something fishy going on. He has no evidence and relies entirely on intuition.
It might sound unreliable, but his intuition had never been wrong.
The cultivator in charge of the communication seemed to have remembered something and added, “Zhao Jiuming said that he did this because Jian Wushuang was about to take that step, and they needed a stable environment. If necessary, they could even sacrifice Jian Xu to exchange for peace with Tianxiao Sect.
They want to wait until Jian Wushuang takes that step before settling accounts with Tianxiao Sect."
This reason was barely acceptable, at least the bearded man was convinced, but Lei Kanze still felt that there was something fishy going on.
The bearded man nodded slightly and said, "What does Zhao Mingjiu want?"
"He hopes to have a magical treasure to help Jian Wushuang overcome the calamity."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was in an uproar.
The bearded man sneered and said, "He dares to ask that. Well, tell Zhao Mingjiu that the Lingbao is fine, but I have a condition.
Jian Wushuang must come to me for a breakthrough, I will personally protect him!"
