The sword eats the world

Chapter 227 Ambition
Compared to Zuo Yi, the little girl who was a bit messy, Anya was obviously more courageous.

After entering Shangxuan Sword Sect, she hardly rested, and immediately surveyed the terrain of the sect with the other five people. Along the way, she made a good evaluation of the pros and cons of the terrain, which immediately made Lin Xue feel a little nervous. Take it easy.

What puzzled her was the equipment on the seven people in this group.

Each of the seven people present used a holy sword of excellent quality, and was equipped with a variety of rare and sophisticated high-end props.Leaving aside those props, just the top-grade holy sword used by everyone is a huge expense!Each person has a top-grade sacred artifact, even the Shangxuan Sword Sect didn't have it before they received the Divine Origin Crystal presented by the Goddess of Nature!

If it is said that this mercenary group earned a lot of money from the previous missions, it is understandable, but judging from the missions this mercenary group has received over the years... the possibility of this is infinitely close to zero!
It seems that the origin of this mercenary group is not simple.

Right now, the Shangxuan Sword Sect is in a critical period. Before Ling Yun leaves the customs, in order to ensure that the sect has a good defense force, Lin Xue and others have to temporarily bury the idea of ​​changing to another mercenary group in their hearts.

On the third day after the mercenary group settled in, they immediately achieved certain results.

A large number of spies from several sects who were ambushing around to inquire about the situation were all captured alive by a holy sword master. After some severe confessions, they immediately learned an important clue-knowing that the Shangxuan Sword Sect has a thousand Sure enough, the Tianzhaomen of the top-grade crystal stones has already summoned a group of holy sword masters, intending to launch an attack on the Shangxuan Sword Sect. If it wasn't for the sudden intervention of the melody mercenary group, they temporarily postponed the attack plan before finding out the details. After a while, I am afraid that today is the deadline for the general attack.

Faced with this result, Lin Xue and the others had no choice but to ask the melody mercenary group to defend carefully!
In the following days, more and more sects around were bewitched by Tianzhaomen and joined the ranks of finding trouble for Shangxuanjian sect. Forcing the melody mercenary group to give up the task of guarding Shangxuan Jianzong.

As time went by, those sects seemed to have received Han Chen's secret instructions, and they changed from words to actions.

One month after Shangxuan Jianzong invited the melody mercenary group, he finally learned through the information department of the melody mercenary group that there were six sects including Tianzhaomen. In response to the call, four eighth-level holy sword masters, 24 The seventh-rank holy sword master and hundreds of sword master-level disciples gathered in the gate!I'm afraid that once all the personnel arrive, they will come to kill Shangxuan Jianzong.

The opponent came with such a strong lineup, and the head of the melody mercenary group, who has always been safe, couldn't help but couldn't help but feel a little restless. He immediately found Lin Xue, the leader, and persuaded him: "Your faction has already revealed its wealth. If you want to overcome There are many difficulties and dangers, and it has become very difficult to stay safely in Wuye Mountain. Even if we rely on our strength to defeat the enemy today, they will surely make a comeback when we leave." Speaking of this, Anya paused, and said with some hesitation: "My view is that there are only a dozen or 20 people in the noble sect, and it didn't take much effort to establish the sect. Now that the enemy is facing the enemy, the most sensible move is to abandon the sect and leave, find a hiding place and start again, or simply join other Large forces seek shelter, such a source can defuse the coming bloody disaster."

Although Anya's words were meant to look down on Shangxuan Jianzong, but Lin Xue also knew that she was doing it for the good of Shangxuan Jianzong. After all, if she continued to fight, it would definitely be Shangxuan Jianzong who would suffer.

It's just...the reason why they don't want to fight with these sects is not because they are afraid of these sects, but because they don't want to disturb Ling Yun's retreat. Once disturbed...all the previous actions, including inviting the melody mercenary group, will be in vain?
Thinking of this, Lin Xue shook her head: "Captain Anya, everything you are facing now depends on you. If there is any need, we, Shangxuan Sword Sect, will definitely try our best to provide it for you."

"The 28 holy sword masters, including four eighth-level powerhouses, with my ninth-level strength and the sisters in the group, were indeed able to defeat them in the end, but..."

Lin Xue thought that the price given earlier was too low, and quickly said: "We can redo the negotiation on the price."

"No, Your Excellency Lin Xue misunderstood me. Now that you have accepted the task of your sect to defend against eight hundred spars a year, the melody mercenary group will naturally carry it out. But, I want to ask a question, you all go up to the Xuanjian Zong really wants to keep defending like this?"

"The leader of your group means..."

When Anya said this, she bowed slightly: "Here, I first apologize to your faction."

"apologize?"

Anya glanced in the direction of the back mountain of Shangxuanjianzong, and said meaningfully: "Although the survey equipment used by our melody mercenaries is not the best in the universe, at least it is the most advanced prop in the central star. One of them! When we explored the terrain in that area, we found an aura of isolation enchantment..."

Lin Xue's face changed slightly: "Your Excellency, didn't I say in advance that the back mountain is the forbidden area of ​​my Shangxuan Sword Sect, and no one is allowed to enter it, you..."

Anya quickly waved her hands and explained: "Your Excellency Lin Xue, you have misunderstood. We did not enter the forbidden area of ​​your sect, but just walked around." Speaking of this, she saw that Lin Xue's expression was a little unkind, and added: "I know What is Your Excellency Lin Xue worried about? Please rest assured, we will definitely not reveal a word about this matter."

"You found out?"

Anya nodded: "On the survey props, it is true that there are traces of energy left by the crystal of Shenyuan in that area."

"Crystal of Divine Essence." Lin Xue was slightly taken aback, she thought that these people had discovered the location of her brother's retreat and had disturbed him.

Anya didn't notice the abnormality on Lin Xue's face, and asked cautiously: "May I take the liberty to ask, which major force is behind your faction?"

"The power represented..." A flash of light suddenly flashed in Lin Xue's mind.

The incomparable qualifications of the members of the melody mercenary group, the instruments and props at the top of the planet, and the attitude of not caring about the spar... If it is assumed that they are pawns for other forces to break into the Wuye Mountain, all of these seem to be irrelevant. Very well explained.

Thinking of this, the thoughts in Lin Xue's mind turned like lightning, and after a while, she asked rhetorically: "Just from the crystal of Shenyuan, it is too arbitrary to judge easily that there is a large force behind me. .”

These words, in the hearts of caring people, naturally have a double meaning.

"Hehe, it looks like Your Excellency is planning to test me. Since there are a large number of people of the same kind, it doesn't hurt to tell this secret that belongs to the major forces and is not a secret."

"Appreciate further details!"

"The pure quality of the crystal of Shenyuan is as high as your imagination. No large force will sell it after obtaining the crystal of Shenyuan, and create a batch of strong sword masters. Those that go out for sale must be low-quality products that can only be regarded as top-quality crystals. Using these things will not only greatly reduce the effect of cultivation, but also make it impossible to even think about breaking through the holy rank. According to what I have detected The energy purity shows that the crystals of the divine essence used by your faction are definitely the real crystals of the divine essence!" Speaking of this, Anya's tone was a little envious: "These should be the task rewards given by your forces, right? It seems that you actually used it to create a holy place for cultivation, there must be more than one, and your power seems to be really extraordinary."

Lin Xue immediately became vigilant: "This matter should have nothing to do with you."

"Hehe, don't be nervous, Your Excellency Lin Xue. No one will easily offend such a powerful representative of one party." Speaking of this, she still had a tentative tone: "It seems that Your Excellency Lin Xue has just taken over the mission not long ago. .Since both of us have just accepted the task of the people above, and come to the Eastern Continent to stabilize a base, so that we can use it as a springboard to enter this place in the future, why not work together first? Common development? You contribute money, we contribute, no It is not a problem to say that sweeping the misty mountain, at least for the time being, will create a piece of world. As long as we have achievements, those leaders will definitely give rewards again when they are happy, so as to strengthen our strength. When the time comes..."

Hearing this, Lin Xue suddenly figured out a question, and broke out in a cold sweat.

No wonder they hired a mercenary group with a ninth-level holy sword master in charge of only [-] crystals when they went to Xuanjianzong!In fact, this is not their luck, but premeditated.This melody mercenary group simply wanted to control Shang Xuan Jianzong through this matter!
Now that the enemy is at hand, Shangxuan Sword Sect's life and death are almost entirely in the hands of the melody mercenary group. If they don't surrender to them temporarily, they may only be wiped out by the enemy in the end!If it wasn't for me and others being misunderstood by them as subordinates of a certain powerful force, which made them dare not act rashly for the time being, otherwise...

Luring wolves into the house!
How can Zuo Yi's innocent personality survive in such a hostile environment in Central Star?If she guessed correctly, I'm afraid that kind of naivety and the statement that Anya just broke through the ninth level are all false. The purpose is to dispel the vigilance of the employer.

And the low-level missions they received earlier... Although those missions were low-level, but now that they think about it, they all have one thing in common—— hurry!And the employer must do it, if the mercenary group is not invited to complete that task, it will cause immeasurable losses to them!
It's like the task of a small sect head looking for a herbal medicine to save his wife's life.The place where the herb grows is extremely difficult for ordinary great sword masters, even if the idle holy sword master goes there, there will be certain dangers!However, that kind of herbal medicine is one of the must-haves for life-saving. If there is no such herbal medicine, if there is any further delay, his wife will undoubtedly die!In order to save his wife's life, it is estimated that the head of the small sect has risked everything, and the sect may have also secretly fallen into the control of the melody mercenary group.

When he saw this task that day, he still felt that the Melody Mercenaries were really kind. They used the honor of several holy sword masters to help a mere great sword master. Now...

"Your Excellency Lin Xue, I don't know what you are thinking about?"

……

If Lingyun is moved out, all the problems in front of him will be solved easily.

but……

Including Lin Xue, Lin Shuilan and others, they all have an idea, without disturbing Ling Yun, do some real things to prove their value as a human being - they, and Not just cumbersome.

Thinking of this, Lin Xue raised her head, the gleam in her eyes showed that she had already made a decision: "What kind of cooperation method."

Seeing the play, Anya's eyes lit up immediately, and she immediately said happily: "Your Excellency Lin Xue is really a courageous person, no wonder you entrust this difficult task to you." Then, she hurriedly said: "The Eastern Continent is more powerful than others." From the other Northwest Continents, the chaos is countless times. Moreover, super masters in the West and North Continents cannot be bought with money, but in the Eastern Continent, sword masters and great sword masters below the Holy Sword Master are not worth much at all. As long as Your Excellency has enough financial resources, we immediately go to buy a group of loyal disciples, train them in the way of the army, and use them specially for foreign wars! Anyway, this kind of bought disciples will die as soon as they die. There is no pity. money."

"Financial resources..." Lin Xue nodded: "I can contribute! Then what should you do? Since it is cooperation, it is natural that both of us contribute."

"That's natural." Anya immediately nodded and agreed: "Before that, may I first ask, how many Shenyuan crystals did you give you and others for your actions!"

Considering the terrible scheming of the melody mercenary group, Lin Xue finally said safely: "Your Excellency should have found out from his disciples these days that although I am the nominal suzerain of the Shangxuan Sword Sect, I am above me. And the elders of the guards! In fact, the real person in charge in my sect is the elders of the guards, and we are only responsible for assisting."

"The guardian elder!"

Anya was a little skeptical that the powerful force would actually send a seventh-level holy sword master to complete such an important task, but now she understands after hearing it.Feelings have wasted so many lips and tongues, and I haven't seen the protagonist yet.

"Exactly. The master of the sect gave us a total of five crystals of divine origin, one of which was created by us as a holy place for cultivation, and the other was exchanged for a large amount of funds. The remaining three are all on the elders of the guardian sect. .”

"Oh, since that's the case, His Excellency Lau Linxue invited the elders of your sect to come out and meet you."

Lin Xue sighed pretentiously, and said: "If the elders of the protection faction are still here at this moment, how can we be afraid of a mere Heavenly Summoning Sect? , Elder Elder has gone out for business in the past few days, and I have no way of contacting, and I don’t know when I will return. In order to protect the Shangxuan Sword Sect’s established industry, I had to go to the mercenary union and invite your group to come to assist.”

Anya secretly thought about the words "the four factions are coming out together, and I still don't pay attention to them." These words, but seeing the trace of extreme confidence and admiration in Lin Xue's brows when she said this, she knew it. True.To deal with 28 holy sword masters, the ninth-level holy sword master can indeed do it, but he is absolutely not sure to say that he will not take them seriously.

If you want to easily kill the 28 holy sword masters, the opponent's strength... must be a sword master!
Juggernaut!
Thinking of this, Anya quickly cleared up the thought of killing people with a knife!
The fact that Shang Xuan Sword Sect invited their melody mercenary regiment to assist in the defense was witnessed by the mercenary union. Even if they wanted to get rid of the matter, it would be extremely difficult. After the elders of the guardian sect arrive, they will definitely track down themselves and the others.

Being hunted down by a sword master... will definitely ruin the big event of himself and others.

At this time, Lin Xue had already taken the initiative to ask: "Your Excellency, I don't know what kind of cooperation method is this cooperation?"

Anya sorted out the thoughts in her heart, and after considering the exchange of strengths between each other, she said: "Purchasing a sword master is only an expedient measure after all! Only by developing a jurisdiction and leading disciples can a powerful sect be passed on. Therefore, my plan is to expand in all directions, annex all the surrounding small factions step by step, make myself stronger, and then start preparing for the next move!"

"Annexation." Lin Xue frowned slightly.

The annexation of sects is not as simple as a sect war. After annexing a sect, there must be a large number of manpower to manage it, and what Shangxuan Jianzong lacks is manpower!You know, the current Shangxuan Sword Sect, including Ling Yun and Lin Ruoruo, only has 46 members.Among the 46 people, servants and maids accounted for eighteen places. Those who are really available are only 26 people, 26 people. It is considered shabby to support a sect. If they are allowed to govern other sects...

"If a sect wants to develop, the number of people is essential. Only a huge population base can produce a large number of masters. It is like a pyramid-like growth, and the masters pile up to become the ultimate masters, and finally make a sect flourish. The so-called beginning of everything Difficult, when a sect has survived the most difficult stage in the early stage and prospered, the subsequent development will inevitably become much smoother. Not only will there be countless masters coming from all directions, but also the tribute crystals received from small sects Stone is also enough to maintain the continued expenses of a sect. As long as it can survive the suppression of other forces and the virtuous circle continues, the rise of a superpower is already in sight."

"The reason why you cooperate with me is because of funds. Due to lack of funds, it is impossible to recruit the first batch of masters and disciples to serve!"

"Exactly. In Central Star, where profit is paramount, as long as there are enough start-up funds and certain top experts, it is absolutely easy to recruit mid-level and low-level experts." Speaking of this, An Ya made a empty hand, as if she had personally launched a A magnificent and magnificent picture scroll: "Ninth, eighth, and seventh holy sword masters, huge hidden forces, continuous funds, and the sword master of your school. We have everything, and what we need now, This is such an opportunity for development! Right now, the opportunity is in front of your Excellency, as long as you grasp it well, a large sect that is not inferior in scale to the Wanghai Sect will quickly rise from the Wuye Mountain!"

"A large sect...to develop Shangxuan Sword Sect into a large sect..."

It had to be admitted that Anya did have certain talents, even Lin Xue, who originally only wanted to protect herself wisely, was moved by the words.

If I can really develop my sect to the level of the Wanghai sect, having a sword master and hundreds of holy sword masters will definitely be a great help to my brother and myself!Not to mention anything else, at least he won't be annoyed by several seventh- and eighth-level holy sword masters like he is now!

"The grand picture world you constructed is indeed very beautiful. However, we contribute money, and you, who only contribute temporarily, can share so many benefits. Even if we agree this time, once I go to the Xuanjianzong to guard Send the elders back..."

Anya obviously expected that her side had too few chips, and said quickly: "If Sect Master Lin does not give up, I can lead the seven sisters of my melody mercenary group to join the Shangxuan Sword Sect and become a member of the sect, waiting to be dispatched! We have only one request, that when the Shangxuan Sword Sect really develops, one-third of Wuye Mountain can be allocated to us and become our place to stay, other than that, we have nothing else to ask for."

The current Shangxuan Sword Sect has not obtained a corner of Wuyi Mountain at all. Even if she promised Anya to give her a third of Wuye Mountain, what she offered was just a blank check.It's such a bargain that you can make a lot of money without losing money.

"Okay, if you join my Shangxuanjian Sect and wholeheartedly assist our faction in taking over Wuye Mountain's hegemony, I will set aside a third of Wuye Mountain to belong to you!"

A gleam of joy flashed in Anya's eyes, and she hurriedly said: "Since Your Excellency Lin Xue agrees, let's go back, discuss the details, draw up a contract, and then go to the branch of the Supreme Temple to make the contract come into effect under the witness of the Supreme Law."

Xue Lin nodded!

After the two dispersed, Lin Xue immediately found Lin Shuilan, explained the whole story to her, and discussed the matter with her.

Although Lin Shuilan knew that there might be a conspiracy, she didn't want to be a burden to her young master forever, so she finally thought about all the details, corrected some loopholes in the contract, and accompanied Lin Xue to a branch of the Supreme Temple , signed this significant contract.

Due to the urgency of time, after the contract was signed, the three of them went to the famous talent trading market in a nearby city according to the way of the melody mercenary group. Great swordsman!

All these great sword masters have lost their freedom restrictions due to various reasons, and are restricted by the supreme law, so they have to sell their lives in exchange for survival.

Due to the environment, the history established by the Central Star Great Sword Master is far inferior to other backward planets!Those who are not determined enough have no idea of ​​the glory of life and death, the self-esteem of a great swordsman.Moreover, the supreme law gave them a glimmer of hope for survival—breaking through the holy ranks, and the restrictions disappeared!

Under this kind of motivation, in order to break through the Juggernaut one day and break away from the shackles of the supreme law, they have to endure the master's instigation and do the things of men!
With the addition of these personnel and the melody mercenary group, the strength of the originally shabby Shangxuan Sword Sect has skyrocketed. If Ling Yun is included, the overall strength is enough to become a medium-sized faction in the Wanghai faction area, second only to the Wanghai faction!
……

When Shangxuan Sword Sect was closely preparing to expand, the troops of Tianzhaomen were finally integrated. There were more than [-] great sword masters and holy sword masters, and they set out from the mountain gate to kill Shangxuan Sword Sect. !This time, they are bound to win the thousands of crystals in the Shangxuan Sword Sect!
