Chapter 295 Tianhai Alliance
After the annihilation of Yingchao Ridge in World War I, Qinghe County, which had experienced a period of devastation, ushered in a period of peace.
Song Qingming, who did not find what he wanted in Xiaoyao Sect, returned to Funiu Mountain and began to practice patiently. Obtaining this spiritual stone from Cheng Yilong also allowed him to no longer have to worry about the resources needed for cultivation in a short period of time.
The Song family also lost several monks in the previous battle at Qinghefang. Even the second sister Song Qingwan, the biggest pillar of the Song family in Fang City, was seriously injured. She was unable to help with alchemy for at least a few years.
When Song Qingming went to Xiaoyao Sect, he went to Yangshanfang to find some healing elixirs for her. Unfortunately, the elixirs he found were all first-level low-level elixirs. Although they would have some effect after taking them, they couldn't help her overall. How much did she shorten the treatment time.
The second sister Song Qingwan had to stay in seclusion for a long time to recover from her injuries. In addition, the death of the fourth uncle Song Changqiu in the war also caused the entire Song family monks in the city to lose their backbone. The business of several shops in Qinghefang was greatly affected.
Although the patriarch Song Changfeng immediately sent his fifteenth aunt Song Changyue to take over the affairs of Fangshi, Song Changyue was a more honest person and did not have much business brains. It has been stabilized for the time being, but the overall business in these shops has not recovered. Even if an extra shop is brought from the Lu family, the combined income from spiritual stones can still barely maintain the balance of payments of these industries. , the Song family cannot expect much revenue from this place in a short period of time.
Qinghefang experienced a war, which caused great damage to the entire city. Under the leadership of several major foundation-building families, everyone spent half a year repairing and restoring the city to its original appearance.
However, the battle at Yingchao Ridge also showed some of Qinghefang's prestige. For at least twenty years after that, no one saw traces of those bandit cultivators who were seeking wealth and murder in the vicinity of Qinghefang. Many of them were in other places. Loose cultivators doing business in the city came here specifically to find a relatively comfortable place to live.
In front of him, the business of other shops in the market was getting better and better, but all the shops in the Song family were still in a state of slump. At the family meeting at the end of the year, Song Qingming finally couldn't sit still, so he could only take Shi Chun out of the business. Fengtoushan transferred him back and asked him to help with the Qinghefang affairs.
After Shi Chun went to Qinghefang, he did not disappoint Song Qingming. The Song family's property in Qinghefang finally improved slowly.
One year after the battle at Eagle's Nest Ridge, when Song Qingming was indulged in practicing on Funiu Mountain, another piece of news came that surprised him. Lu Yuanfeng, who had been stationed in Qinghefang for nearly eighty years, was suddenly killed by Xiaoyao. Zong urgently transferred back to the sect, and his replacement was Feng De, a Xiaoyao sect disciple who had just established his foundation.
It stands to reason that veteran foundation-building disciples of the Xiaoyao Sect like Lu Yuanfeng would not be easily transferred out of the city where they have been stationed for many years without any unexpected events.
At first, Song Qingming thought that Lu Yuanfeng was transferred this time because of the previous breach of Qinghefang. It was not until half a month later that he personally went to Taiyuan Mountain and inquired about the Huang family, and then he found out about the transfer. He had some shocking news.
It turns out that the reason why Lu Yuanfeng was transferred was because a war broke out between the Lu State and the Tianhai League in the south. The two sides had already fought for control of the two small neighboring countries. It seemed that the Lingyin Sect had suffered a lot. Unfortunately, the battle line was slowly pushed closer to the state of Lu.
Lingyin Sect, which is no match for the opponent, has already asked for help from several surrounding countries, and Xiaoyao Sect has also begun recruiting monks to rush over to support them.
Although the dozens of countries around the Fuyun Mountains usually have infighting and some friction, they are generally considered an alliance. Faced with the invasion of other regional forces, everyone will still unite with their enemies to drive out external forces.
However, the Tianhai Alliance, which can push Lingyin Sect everywhere to ask for help, is not a force that can be underestimated. They were originally an alliance formed by monks along the southern coast of the Lu Kingdom. In the past few thousand years, the Tianhai Alliance has become more and more powerful. It is getting stronger and stronger, and is about to integrate all the immortal cultivating forces along the southern coast of Donghuang Xianzhou, and the strength of the alliance has far exceeded that of an ordinary big country around the Fuyun Mountains.
Lingyin Sect has fought against them more than a dozen times over the years, but they have basically lost more and won less. The current strategy is to only passively defend and never take the initiative to attack them.
There are five Yuanying monks in the Tianhai Alliance alone, including a great monk in the late Yuanying period. The Lingyin Sect is far from being an opponent of the Tianhai Alliance. If it weren't for the many countries in the Fuyun Mountains, they have always been relatively united. To support each other, I am afraid that the forces of the Tianhai Alliance have already penetrated directly into the hinterland of the Fuyun Mountains.
Throughout the entire Fuyun Mountain Range, in addition to the area of monster influence in the north, there are some forces that have not yet been integrated in the area facing the sea in the east. The sects here are relatively loose and relatively friendly, and there are many accomplished cultivators. Rogue cultivators all want to go to the place where they can establish a sect.
Because the coastal products and resources there are relatively rich, even many monks from the Wei Kingdom like to travel there after building foundations or forming elixirs.
On the west side of the Fuyun Mountains is a sparsely populated Gobi and Tiexi deserts. In addition to using long-distance teleportation arrays, only monks with Jindan or above are able to cross there.
It is said that after passing through the Tiexi Desert in the west, there is the Donghuang Kingdom, the most powerful human country on the continent. Legend has it that there are still monks who transform gods, and it is the holy land for human races to cultivate immortality on this continent. Not only are there many spiritual veins in its territory, but after hundreds of thousands of years of development by the human race, it has become like the Guyang County of the Wei Kingdom. Even the monsters have become extinct. It is also the best place for mortals to breed.
To the south is the territory of the Tianhai Alliance. These people are relatively aggressive in their behavior. They often invade the territory of Lu State adjacent to the Fuyun Mountains and several surrounding small countries to the north, hoping to enter here to seize more resources.
A large-scale conflict often breaks out between the two sides every few decades. The dozens of countries around the Fuyun Mountains, in addition to fully dealing with the biggest threat to the northern Xinjiang monster army, are also preparing for the expansion of the Tianhai Alliance in the south.
However, the Tianhai Alliance is not the only opponent in the Fuyun Mountains in the north. The monsters along the coast are also a serious concern for them. Just like the monsters in the northern border, every once in a while, the monsters in the Lei Yuan Sea in the south will attack Donghuang Immortal. The southern coastal area of the state.
Fortunately, there is a tacit understanding between the two sides. Both the Tianhai Alliance and the Fuyun Mountain Range will stop when the monsters are in turmoil. After all, we are all on the human side and will not stab the other side in the back when it is obvious that it is in trouble.
