Nonsense! Master is not my wife.

"Fellow Daoist, you know that leader?"

Upon hearing that Yin You knew the mysterious leader of the Taoist Alliance, Master Feng Lan showed a hint of surprise on his face.

"I traveled in Zhongzhou for a period of time before, and that's when I met him."

Yin You did not mention the relationship between him and Uncle Xuansu, but simply glossed over the topic.

Feng Lan Zhenren looked serious: "If the leader is willing to help, then our chances of winning this time will be much higher, but..."

He said helplessly, "The Zhongzhou Dao League is now at a critical juncture in its secret battle with the two religions and three sects. I'm afraid the leader of the alliance cannot get away."

Yin You had heard about the current situation in Zhongzhou from Master Fenglan and Pu Yiyun before, so he did not show any expression, but said: "I need to go see her eventually. Even if she can't get away, I need to go and help."

When Master Fenglan heard this, he vaguely understood what Yin You meant: "So, Fellow Daoist Ao Yin, your purpose is not to invite the leader to join the expedition to the Northern Territory, but to go and help?"

Yin You nodded: "That's right."

After hearing Yin You's affirmation, even Master Feng Lan couldn't help but look serious: "Zhongzhou is now a muddy water that is easy to enter but difficult to exit. Fellow Daoist, you must think it through clearly."

Yin You's tone did not waver at all: "I've thought it through."

Seeing this, Master Feng Lan pondered for a while before slowly saying, "We can stay in Zhongzhou for a few days to wait for you, but the cultivators on the Spirit Boat cannot go with you to help. Please forgive us."

Except for Yin You, all the cultivators on the Nanli Chixing boat are well-known cultivators in the Southern Region. If they rashly help the Zhongzhou Taoist Alliance, it is very likely to cause resentment from the two religions and three sects, and then lead to a war between the Central and Southern Regions.

Furthermore, as the leader of the Southern Domain Taoist Alliance, True Man Feng Lan can lead the Southern Domain cultivators to the Northern Domain to attack the source of demons, but he cannot lead them to fight with the Central Plains cultivators. This is neither in the interests of the Southern Domain cultivators nor in line with the purpose of their trip.

Yin You was naturally aware of this truth, so from the beginning he had no intention of inviting True Man Feng Lan and other Southern Region cultivators to help, but instead planned to go alone.

"Thank you."

Yin You clasped his fists towards Master Feng Lan. He was already very satisfied that the other party was willing to stay in Zhongzhou for a few days to wait for him.

You should know that half of the top combat forces of the Southern Territory cultivators are now on this Nanli Chixing boat, and only half of the top combat forces are left in the Southern Territory. Although the Demon King has been eliminated, there is no guarantee that the demon army still has some trump cards, so their time is also very tight. The sooner they solve the source of the demons in the Northern Territory, the sooner they can return to the Southern Territory.

Master Feng Lan waved his hand and said, "No need to do that. Fellow Daoist Aoyin, you have helped us so much, but we cannot help you. We feel guilty about this."

As he spoke, two things suddenly appeared in his hand and he handed them to Yin You:

"These are two ten-turn arrays refined by Gou Sheng Zhenren. One is the Heaven and Earth Infinite Universe Array. After it is crushed, the user can instantly move to a place a hundred thousand miles away. The other is the Eight Directions Destroying Shadow Killing Array. After it is crushed, it will unleash a full-strength attack of a tenth-level cultivator, indiscriminately attacking all enemies within a hundred meters of the user."

Yin You shook his head repeatedly after hearing this, and even took a few steps back, without taking the two array plates: "Alliance Leader Fenglan, these two array plates are too precious, you should keep them for yourself."

Master Feng Lan stepped forward and forced the formation plate into Yin You's hands: "I still have formation plates here, you can take these two."

“Although I don’t know that leader, the Dao League he founded is extremely great. It broke through the limitations of sects and dynasties and benefited countless mortal cultivators in the Five Realms. I admire him very much.”

"Although I cannot help you due to my status, these two array plates should be of some help. Please accept them, fellow Daoist."

Seeing that Master Fenglan said so, Yin You had no choice but to take the two extremely precious Ten-Revolution Formation Disks.

……

Zhongzhou, Daocheng.

Deep in the dark hall, a stern-looking woman in silver armor half-knelt in front of a screen, reporting the news received in recent days to the beings inside.

After she finished speaking, a lazy female voice sounded, "So, they are blaming us for the death of old man Jinglin, and they are going to raise an army together to attack us?"

Jinglin, the deputy leader of the Zhanyue Sect, a well-known Tenth Realm powerhouse in Zhongzhou, died mysteriously near the Taoist Alliance a few days ago.

"Yes." The silver-armored woman replied.

"Ha ha……"

There was an inexplicable smile in the lazy female voice: "Such a simple plot to sow discord, those old immortals really hate the Dao League more than anything else."

The silver-armored woman did not respond.

After a long silence, a lazy female voice came from behind the screen again: "Xuanyin, start to shrink your forces and gather all members in Daocheng and the four surrounding cities. Strengthen the alert. If there is any disturbance, notify me immediately."

"My subordinates have orders."

The silver-armored woman stood up and left.

Behind the screen, Xuan Su was half lying on the bed, eating spiritual food lazily. Suddenly, her eyebrows frowned, as if she sensed something. She counted with her fingers:

"A breath of innocence? So they came to Zhongzhou?"

Xuan Su curved his eyebrows and smiled brightly.

Chapter 195: Attack on the City

There are six top sects in Zhongzhou Holy Land, which are called "one alliance, two religions and three sects" by Zhongzhou cultivators.

The "One Alliance" is the Zhongzhou Taoist Alliance. Although it has only been established for more than a hundred years, it has risen to the top and surpassed the two religions and three sects. It is regarded as the leader of the Zhongzhou sects.

The "two sects" refer to the Moon-Slashing Sect and the Sun-Eclipse Sect, both of which were derived from the ancient Sun-Moon Immortal Sect. The two sects are also the oldest existing sects in Zhongzhou, having continued for countless years and have unfathomable heritage.

The "Three Sects" are Yuding Zhenzong, Kuchan Xuanzong, and Tianyang Shangzong. All three are top sects that have been famous in Zhongzhou for thousands or tens of thousands of years. They have deep roots and powerful strength.

In the past hundred years, although there have been constant frictions among the six top sects, no major wars have ever occurred and they have always lived in peace.

More than 20 years ago, when Zixing Zhenren of Tianyang Sect was about to die, a conspiracy targeting him was launched within Tianyang Sect. With the instigation of those with ulterior motives, there were even signs that the conspiracy would expand to the entire Zhongzhou.

Later, the mysterious leader of the Taoist Alliance, who had been in seclusion for a hundred years, suddenly showed up in the Tianyang Sect. He suppressed the entire Tianyang Sect by himself, and uncovered the evil monks and demons hiding behind the scenes, and only then did he quell the turmoil.

Although the danger was nipped in the bud, the strength of the mysterious leader shocked all the cultivators in Zhongzhou, causing the two religions and three sects to become wary of the Taoist Alliance.

Even when the demon rebellion broke out later, the Taoist Alliance was still the number one enemy in the minds of the two religions and three sects. In addition, with the secret instigation of the demon monks and the demons, the two religions and three sects even united tacitly to suppress and exclude the Taoist Alliance monks.

What surprised everyone was that the mysterious leader had not taken any action since he showed up at Tianyang Sect to suppress the unrest.

Time passes and the world changes.

Over the past twenty years, under various pressures, the Taoist Alliance has gradually reduced its sphere of influence. Today, there are only Daocheng, where the Taoist Alliance headquarters is located, and the four cities of Qingling, Xuanchi, Yansha, and Guti.

Even so, the two religions and three sects still had no intention of letting the Taoist Alliance go.

Yansha City.

As one of the four cities closest to Daocheng, Yansha City has seen an influx of countless cultivators in recent days. The number of guards at the city gates has increased significantly, and the inspection into the city is particularly strict.

The queues of people waiting to enter the city were like long dragons, stretching from the city gate to several miles away.

Yin You was in a team at this time.

A few days ago, after Nanli Chi arrived in Zhongzhou by boat, he separated from Fenglan Zhenren and others and rushed to Daocheng alone.

The Yansha City in front of us is one of the only ways to enter Daocheng. It and the three cities of Qingling, Xuanchi and Guti are located in the four directions of Daocheng, guarding Daocheng.

To enter Dao City, one must first pass through one of the four cities.

"Hey, fellow Taoist, are you also here to escape from the Dao League?"

The person in front of Yin You was a young female cultivator. She might have felt that the line was moving too slowly, so she was looking around idly. Suddenly, she turned her head and saw Yin You behind her, and started to chat with him.

Yin You looked over when he heard the voice and nodded slightly to the female cultivator: "Yes."

Since leaving Nanli Chixingzhou, he has changed his appearance again, becoming an inconspicuous young swordsman with a long sword hanging casually around his waist.

The female cultivator did not care about Yin You's cold attitude. After hearing him paying attention to her, she began to complain to Yin You:

"Alas, fellow Daoist, you don't know that in order to come to Yansha City, I started my journey from the sect two months ago. I traveled thousands of miles before finally arriving here. That feeling is really indescribable."

Yin You glanced at her and asked in confusion, "You're alone? Didn't you encounter any demon monks or monsters on the way?"

Through his secret method of investigation, he had already understood that the young female cultivator in front of him was only in the middle stage of the sixth realm. Although she was not too weak, for the current Zhongzhou, the distance of thousands of miles did not seem very safe.

Yin You has walked tens of thousands of miles in the past few days, and has encountered the figures of demon monks and monsters more than once. Although these monsters and demon monks all died under his sword in the end, to the young female cultivator in the middle stage of the seventh realm, those demon monks and monsters are already very dangerous.

The female cultivator showed a bitter look on her face: "No, I came here with a few brothers and sisters, but they all..."

She paused for a moment and finally said, "I'm the only one here."

Yin You understood what she didn't say: "Sorry."

The female cultivator shook her head: "It's okay."

She was depressed for a while, but soon returned to her normal state: "Where did you come from, fellow Taoist?"

Yin You casually mentioned a place name thousands of miles away from Yansha City.

The female cultivator had obviously heard of this place, and then asked, "Are you alone?"

Yin You nodded slightly.

The female cultivator showed admiration on her face: "Did you encounter any danger on the way?"

"I encountered monsters several times, but I was lucky enough to escape." Yin You said.

"sharp."

The female cultivator gave a thumbs up and praised.

"Ah……"

At this time, a sneer suddenly came from behind Yin You. Obviously, the other party had heard the conversation between Yin You and the young female cultivator and couldn't help laughing.

Yin You ignored her, but the young female cultivator couldn't help but glared at Yin You from behind: "What are you laughing at!"

It was a young man in luxurious clothes. Seeing the young female cultivator glaring at him, he waved his folding fan disapprovingly and said, "Why, do you still want to control whether this young master laughs or not?"

The female cultivator was speechless for a moment, and then she squeezed out a sentence: "Laugh if you want to."

"Ha ha……"

The young man waved his folding fan lightly and didn't bother with her.

After being disturbed by the young man, the young female cultivator lost interest in the conversation and turned away again.

As time passed, Yin You finally saw the guards at the city gate.

There were dozens of guards standing at the city gate alone, all wearing silver-white armor. They were tall, their faces covered by helmets, and looked powerful and oppressive.

Yin You also clearly understood the inspection procedures required to enter the city.

First, you have to tell your origins to prove your identity, then pass through a door made with special techniques to verify whether you are a human or a demon, and finally answer a few questions asked by the guards. Only after confirming that everything is correct can you enter the city.

If there is any mistake in any procedure, a guard will come forward immediately and take you to another place for interrogation.

Yin You saw with his own eyes several people being escorted away from the city gate by the guards. They had pale faces and terrified expressions.

The young female cultivator also saw this scene and said in distress, "The guards at the city gates have become increasingly strict recently."

Upon hearing this, Yin You said, "It may be related to the recent death of the deputy leader of the Slashing Moon Sect."

Yin You had heard the news about the deputy leader of the Zhan Yue Sect dying mysteriously near the Taoist Alliance many times in the past few days.

Because of this incident, the relationship between the Taoist Alliance and the two religions and three sects became increasingly tense. The Taoist Alliance therefore shrank its sphere of influence to guard against surprise attacks from the two religions and three sects.

"Shh!"

The young female cultivator was startled and quickly signaled Yin You: "Don't say that. Be careful that the guards hear you and take you to the prison for interrogation."

Even the young man behind Yin You was shocked: "Are you trying to kill yourself?!"

Seeing that the two people who had been at odds with each other just now were now standing in the same camp, Yin You shrugged and said nothing more.

Just when there were only seven or eight people left for Yin You to enter the city for inspection, he suddenly felt a sense of crisis and suddenly turned his head to look at the sky.

The young man standing behind him was startled by Yin You's sudden action, but then he reacted and quickly waved his folding fan:

"What do you want to do?"

Yin You ignored him, staring at the sky in the distance.

"What are you looking at?"

The young female cultivator also heard what the young man said. She turned around and saw Yin You looking up at the sky. She also looked up, but didn't see anything:

"Is there anything in the sky?"

As soon as she finished speaking, there was a sudden roar from the sky:

"Rumble..."

The sky darkened.

The monks who were queuing to enter the city noticed something was wrong and looked up into the sky:

"Ah! What is that?"

"Spiritual Boat!!?"
