Chapter 479 Opportunity to break the situation
Nowadays, all the important combat forces of the Xiaoyao Sect that can use the golden elixir level have been sent to various battlefields, leaving only this third-level middle-grade puppet beast in the sect's treasury.
This puppet beast can be used well and is equivalent to a golden elixir monk. When Chu Fengping faced the two demon kings who conquered Jinshanfang alone, it was with the help of this puppet beast that he blocked the army of demon beasts in Pingyang. In the north of the county, for today's Xiaoyao Sect, this is the last and most critical golden elixir combat power of the sect.
At this time, Li Mufeng did not use it in Gaoyun County to resist the army of monsters that had moved south. Instead, he wanted to transfer it to support Jinshanfang. This really made the master Guangling who was standing at the bottom confused.
You must know that the counties in Jiangling County next to Jinshanfang are all relatively remote places in Weiguo. They are far less prosperous than Gaoyun County, which is backed by Guiyunfang. Gaoyun County must be ranked first in terms of the importance of the sect. .
Moreover, Gaoyun County enters Guyang County further south. This is the core territory that the sect has operated for thousands of years. Whether it is spiritual veins, spiritual fields or the number of monks and mortals, it is not comparable to other counties in the Wei Kingdom. of.
Once the army of demon beasts from Guiyunfang south breaks through the last line of defense in Gaoyun County and enters Guyang County in the south, the entire Weiguo Immortal World will probably suffer the most significant losses in the past two thousand years.
Once the number of mortals in the sect's territory is too great, the number of new monks in the Xiaoyao sect every year will also drop sharply, and it will be difficult to recover in a short period of time.
Without a stable injection of fresh blood, even a large Nascent Soul sect like Xiaoyao Sect, which has been established for thousands of years, is destined to decline over time.
The priority between Gaoyun County and Jinshanfang can be seen by even the real person Guangling at a glance. Li Mufeng, the supreme elder of the sect who has controlled Xiaoyao Sect for hundreds of years, naturally cannot be unaware of the powerful relationship between them.
Li Mufeng waved his hand to the confused Master Guangling and continued: "This time the monster turmoil is no better than before. It has only been half a year, and the sect has already suffered such a heavy loss. The longer it goes on, I'm afraid there will be more." Even worse for us.
During this time, I have been planning a strategy to counterattack the monsters. If it can be successfully implemented, the sect is about 50% sure that this turmoil can be ended in advance. This is also the opportunity we need most to break the situation.
However, all aspects are not yet fully prepared. In order to prevent other changes in the plan, I cannot tell you all the situation yet. The sect in Gaoyun County still needs you to hold on for a while. "
After hearing some shocking words from Li Mufeng, Master Guangling finally reacted, stepped forward, clasped his fists, and nodded: "Disciple understands, please rest assured, uncle, as long as I, Yang Guangling, am still alive, I will definitely We won’t let a monster easily cross Gaoyun County.”
After Master Guangling finished speaking, he turned around and prepared to return directly to Gaoyun County. Just as he was about to reach the entrance of the hall, a golden talisman suddenly flew into his hand from above the hall.
"Hold this talisman first. If you encounter a crisis, this talisman should be able to buy you a little more time. Be sure to use it carefully."
Master Guangling turned around and glanced at Li Mufeng, who had turned his back. He bowed slightly with some emotion, put away the golden talisman and left Guyang Mountain quickly.
——
Iron Immortal Castle, in the main hall of the Ma family,
It has been half a year since the Ma family defended Iron Immortal Castle alone since the monster turmoil. Today, Ma Hongshan has long lost the heroic demeanor he had at the Tuoyun Mountain Fair, and he also looks tired and sad.
Ma Hongshan, who had just gone through a battle, still had many traces of the battle on his clothes, and was listening to a foundation-building monk below reporting on the battle situation he had just obtained.
"Third Uncle, I just got the news that Fulong Mountain was attacked by an army of monsters yesterday."
Ma Hongshan, who was sitting at the top of the hall, asked with confusion after hearing the news: "Didn't we send people to support us a few days ago? Why did the Yu family lose Fulong Mountain so quickly? Are these people? Escaped from the battle?"
Seeing that there was a hint of anger on the face of Ma Hongshan, the golden elixir ancestor above, the Ma family monk who reported the battle situation hesitated for a moment, and then replied directly to Ma Hongshan:
"According to the monks who escaped, the Silver Elephant Demon King suddenly appeared in Fulong Mountain yesterday, catching us by surprise. Except for the twenty or thirty people who escaped, most of the monks from the Yu family had died on the spot. .
When Jing Xuan arrived with his people, he unfortunately happened to bump into the Silver Elephant Demon King. In order to cover the retreat of others, he took the initiative to lure the Demon King away. Later, "
"What's wrong with Jingxuan? Tell me quickly!"
"I just went to the ancestral temple to check, and Jingxuan's soul lamp has been extinguished!" The Ma family foundation-building monk who came to report said this with some difficulty, and a few tears flowed involuntarily on his face. down.
Since the start of the monster turmoil, the Ma family has lost hundreds of people in the past six months in order to defend Iron Immortal Castle. These people are monks trained by the Ma family for many years, and they are also their blood brothers.
Seeing familiar tribesmen fall in front of him, even though the person in front of him was already an accomplished foundation-building monk, he couldn't help but feel a burst of sadness in his heart.
Hearing the news that his family had lost another foundation-building monk, Ma Hongshan felt a little hard to accept. He clenched his fist slightly, and after a long time he sighed:
"First, focus on controlling the monks who escaped from the Yu family. Don't let the news that Fulong Mountain was attacked by monsters spread. Jingxuan also needs to block the news. We must not shake the morale of the army at this time. "
The foundation-building monk standing at the bottom nodded and said: "Don't worry, Third Uncle, this matter has been arranged before I came here, and all the monks of the Yu family have been locked up in the back mountain."
Ma Hongshan nodded and said: "You do the work, I don't worry. It doesn't matter if Fuyun Mountain is lost. As long as we can hold the Iron Fairy Castle, we can get it back in the future. But the situation is critical now. I hope God bless the Ma family and we can get it back." Get through this disaster smoothly.”
"Third uncle, how is the situation over at Tuoyun Mountain? Didn't Fengyang De say that he had injured Yunhe Demon King? Why are they still unable to come to the rescue? Does Old Ancestor Chen really not want to take care of us this time? "
Ma Hongshan sighed and said: "Old Ancestor Chen has very little longevity left. I'm afraid he has died long ago without news for so long. In order to stabilize people's hearts, Tuo Yunshan doesn't dare to say it directly now.
Fengyangde, this junior, used to be honest in front of me, but now he is just a fake elixir. He really thinks of himself as a golden elixir monk. His several letters have been full of perfunctory meanings. I really don’t know Chen Jinliang. Why would you choose to hand over Tuo Yunshan to such a thing?
If I had known that this boy Fengyang De was such a ruthless and unjust person, when Chen Jinliang approached me to discuss this matter, I should not have agreed to help him support Fengyang De Jiedan and entrust Tuoyunshan to this person. Chen Jin Liang is really blind. "
When mentioning Fengyang De in Tuoyun Mountain, Ma Hongshan's face also showed a hint of disgust at this moment, venting his dissatisfaction with Fengyang De in his heart.
When Chen Jinliang came to Ma Hongshan to discuss the crusade against Daheishan, their three-party alliance actually had their own purposes.
The reason why Chen Jinliang took the lead in this matter was to support his disciple Fengyangde to form a fake elixir, so that he could help him maintain the hard-earned foundation of Tuoyunshan.
The Xiaoyao Sect is involved in Tuoyun Mountain in order to earn spiritual stones. The Xinfang City established by both parties in Tuoyun Mountain in recent years has also allowed the Xiaoyao Sect to earn a lot of spiritual stones.
In order to defend Xinfang City, Xiaoyao Sect specially sent a group of foundation-building and Qi-refining monks to support Tuoyun Mountain after the monster turmoil.
The biggest purpose of the Ma family's help was to clean up the Great Black Mountain, which was the greatest threat to the northwest of the Wei Kingdom, and to make preparations as early as possible so that their lives would be easier when the monsters were in turmoil.
Ma Hongshan also knew that after Chen Jinliang passed away, Tuo Yunshan would lose this powerful ancestor of the golden elixir. At that time, the overall strength would definitely plummet, and he might not be able to rush to rescue every time the monsters were in turmoil as before. Iron Fairy Castle.
According to Ma Hongshan's plan, as long as the Black Flame Tiger, the middle-stage Jindan demon king that posed the greatest threat to Iron Fairy Castle at that time, could be successfully eradicated, the other two early-stage Jindan demons that had been dealing with Iron Fairy Castle for hundreds of years would be left. Wang, even without the support of Tuo Yunshan, the Ma family is capable of handling it on their own.
What Ma Hongshan never expected was that during this demonic beast turmoil, two strange demonic beasts suddenly appeared in the northwest of Weiguo. The current situation in Iron Fairy Castle was already extremely critical, even worse than the situation a hundred years ago. For bad.
However, when it comes to the relationship between the Ma family in Tiexianbao and Chen Jinliang in Tuo Yunshan, we actually have to talk about the previous generation of the Ma family’s patriarch.
Iron Fairy Castle was a family property created by the previous patriarch of the Ma family hundreds of years ago. At that time, the patriarch of the Ma family succeeded in forming an elixir by chance, and led the Ma family to gradually dominate the northwest territory of Weiguo. It has been continued in the hands of Ma Hongshan. More than six hundred years ago.
When the previous patriarch of the Ma family was still there, he helped Chen Jinliang, who had just successfully formed a pill. The relationship between the two was very good, and later he helped Chen Jinliang seize the third-level Tuoyun Mountain from the monster. Spiritual pulse, from this point of view, the Ma family still had some kindness to Chen Jinliang back then.
Iron Immortal Castle is located at the place where monsters must pass through on their way south, and the pressure they face from monsters is greater than Tuoyun Mountain. After the previous patriarch of the Ma family passed away, he supported the current patriarch Ma Hongshan to successfully form a pill. , but at that time, Ma Hongshan had just formed his elixir, and his strength was still somewhat insufficient.
Facing the once-in-a-century monster turmoil, it was really difficult for Ma Hongshan, who had just formed a pill, to resist, and the entire Iron Immortal Fort soon fell into a huge crisis.
