Chapter 519 Long-term considerations
The mountain-protecting formation of Iron Immortal Castle has a third-level intermediate level. If the Jindan monks are unable to take action, there must be at least twice as many low-level monks as the opponent. Only Xiaoyao Sect can break through this mountain-protecting formation in a short time. Array.
For this reason, under Li Mufeng's instructions, Xiaoyao Sect has quickly gathered manpower in Guyang Mountain and mobilized several large flying boats of the sect to transport low-level monks, preparing to directly destroy Iron Immortal Castle in one go.
Li Mufeng nodded to Chu Fengping, who was reporting the situation below, and then said: "Send another secret letter to Guangling, asking him to go to the Zongmen Shanggong Pavilion and get two level three formation-breaking beads, just in case. The Jiuyuan Sect has also mobilized a large number of manpower to support us, and we still need to forcefully break the formation."
"Uncle, the sect only has these three-level formation-breaking beads left. We are just dealing with one Ma family. I don't think it is necessary to use such an important spiritual object, right?" I heard that Li Mufeng was about to use the third-level "formation-breaking beads." ", Chu Fengping on the side reminded with some hesitation.
The formation-breaking bead can confine the spiritual energy in the spiritual veins in a short period of time. It is a rare spiritual object specially used to deal with the mountain-protecting formation, because refining this kind of thing requires the use of a very hard-to-find spiritual vein. The precious spiritual object "Earth Vein Essence Stone", so things like "Array Breaking Beads" are also very rare.
Even the low-level formation-breaking beads of the first and second levels are hard to see in the market, let alone the "formation-breaking beads" of the third level and above. Even in the Shanggong Pavilion of Xiaoyao Sect, there are only a few. That’s all.
These third-level "formation-breaking beads", like the third-level puppet beasts that supported Jinshanfang back then, are important treasures of the sect. Xiaoyao Sect generally will not use such trump cards easily unless it is absolutely necessary.
"Our Xiaoyao Sect has been established for thousands of years, and it is already the sixth generation in my hands. The reason why the sect has been able to lead the Weiguo Immortal Realm for so many years is not because of mercy. No matter how high the price is, we must do it this time. To break through Iron Fairy Castle.
Otherwise, if even the small Ma family below dares to betray the sect like this, how will we lead the entire Weiguo cultivation world in the future? I also know what you all are thinking, but for the long-term consideration of the sect, we must also fight in this battle. We must let everyone know what the consequences will be for betraying the sect. "
While the Xiaoyao Sect was gathering all its strength, the Ma family in Iron Immortal Fort was also busy, with many low-level monks running around the city, carrying various spiritual objects.
On the west side of Iron Fairy Castle, there is a wide cave.
Ma Hongshan, Ma Qiudi, and more than ten foundation-building elders of the Ma family were gathering together to discuss the family's future plans.
As early as when the monsters were in turmoil, Ma Hongshan had secretly reached an agreement with the Jiuyuan Sect in order to borrow reinforcements from the Yue Kingdom to help resist the many monsters besieging Tiexian Castle, and was preparing to lead the entire Ma family to break away from the Xiaoyao Sect and join the Jiuyuan Sect. Zong.
At that time, facing the siege of the four demon king armies, the Ma family only had one golden elixir monk, Ma Hongshan. Without the support of Tuoyun Mountain, they could only rely on the Iron Immortal Castle Mountain Guard Formation to hold on.
The Xiaoyao Sect's side happened to be suddenly injured due to the sudden injury of its leader Yao Qianshu, which caused the entire Patriotic front to fall into a passive state, and there was no way to send reinforcements to Iron Fairy Castle.
In order to preserve the vitality of the family, Ma Hongshan, who faced huge pressure from the monster side, directly hooked up with the Jiuyuan Sect of the Yue Kingdom after some entanglement.
The realm of Yue Kingdom where Jiuyuan Sect is located, because it is a relatively small country, has always been much less pressured by monster unrest than the Wei Kingdom.
After the Jiuyuan Sect unified the Yue Kingdom's immortal cultivation world, and with the existence of the Yuan Ying Ancestor, the Yue Kingdom's immortal cultivation world has gained some advantages in the face of the demonic beasts. This time the demonic beasts are in turmoil, they have withstood several monsters very early. King's attack, so the Jiuyuan Sect could send Jindan monks to help the Ma family defend Iron Fairy Castle.
Ma Hongshan originally thought that the Xiaoyao Sect would be severely damaged in the face of the monster chaos this time. When the monster chaos was over and Tiexianbao switched to the Jiuyuan Sect, a new Nascent Soul force, Xiaoyao Sect would be unable to do anything about it. They are.
He didn't want Ma's side, and he had just made the decision to betray Xiaoyao Sect. In just a few months, the situation on the battlefield on the Weiguo frontline changed suddenly.
First, Song Qingming defended Jinshanfang and killed the White Lion Demon King. Then, under the leadership of Yao Qianshu, Li Xianyun, Song Qingming and others broke through Zixingfang, which was occupied by the monsters. Soon after, Xiaoyao Sect dispatched support. Next, Guiyunfang and Tuoyunshan all resolved the crisis one after another, and soon Tiexian Fort also received reinforcements from Xiaoyao Sect.
Faced with this sudden turn of events, Ma Hongshan also regretted his original decision, but he had already chosen to board the Jiuyuan Sect's ship. At this time, it would not be so easy for the Ma family to get off the ship again.
In order to win the trust of the Jiuyuan Sect, the Ma family not only revealed many internal secrets of the Xiaoyao Sect to them, but also sent Ma Qiudie, the family's most promising junior, to the Jiuyuan Sect, and also accepted the Jiuyuan Sect. Many benefits of reward.
Once these things are known to the Xiaoyao Sect, there is no need for the Jiuyuan Sect to take action personally. The Xiaoyao Sect, which has already planned to deal with the Ma family, will definitely directly destroy the Iron Immortal Castle and directly wipe out the Ma family from the world of immortal cultivation in the Wei Kingdom.
Over the years, the Ma family has monopolized the immortal cultivation resources near Iron Immortal Castle and has been able to continue to grow and develop. Many elders of the Xiaoyao Sect have already disliked the Ma family and have thoughts of suppressing them.
Ma Hongshan is not like all the monks of the Ma family. He can only be a thug for the Xiaoyao Sect throughout his life, and his destiny is controlled by others.
The Ma family has already tasted the benefits of a strong family, and no one is willing to accept the sect's excuse to suppress it, causing the family's hard work and development for so many years to return to the past overnight.
Having made up his mind, Ma Hongshan, after discussing with the Jiuyuan Sect, decided not to stop doing anything. Before leaving the Xiaoyao Sect, he raided Tuoyun Mountain and killed Fengyang De, and wiped out the entire Tuoyun Mountain. Hundreds of years of accumulation have been plundered.
To kill Fengyang De and the others, in addition to the old grudge between the Ma family and Tuo Yunshan, another point is that Tuo Yunshan now has a very good relationship with the Xiaoyao Sect. Ma Hongshan and the Jiuyuan Sect are also afraid that Fengyang De will know about the Ma family. After betraying the Xiaoyao Sect, he would help the Xiaoyao Sect to deal with them, so he chose to attack Tuo Yunshan first, eliminating a hidden danger for them in advance.
"Patriarch, is there really nothing we can do? Didn't the Jiuyuan Sect agree that Iron Immortal Castle would be merged into the Yue Kingdom's Immortal Cultivation World? Why did it change so quickly? We were asked to go to the Yue Kingdom's Immortal Cultivation World, but we were only given We have arranged a second-grade high-grade spiritual vein, are they too insincere?"
"Okay! Didn't I just say that since the Jiuyuan Sect can no longer defend this place, we don't want to stay here to wait for death. We should go to the Yue Kingdom first. We can leave the green mountains without fear of running out of firewood. The Yue Kingdom is relatively stable. As long as we develop with peace of mind for a few decades, we can think of ways to cultivate a third-level company.”
Hearing the tone of the foundation-building elder below, who seemed to be still thinking about the third-level spiritual vein of Iron Immortal Castle, Ma Hongshan felt helpless.
In the battle at Iron Immortal Castle a few days ago, Ma Hongshan did not expect that Jiuyuan Sect would suffer losses so quickly. Two Jindan monks were injured by the opponent, including himself, who also suffered huge losses in order to rescue Ma Qiudie. Due to the lack of essence and blood, Ma Hongshan's face still looks a little pale.
Another older Ma family elder below sighed and asked: "The patriarch, Jiuyuan Sect, has only prepared two large flying boats for us. There are so many mortals and monks in the family, and they have to transport so many supplies. , how can it be possible to fit them all in at once?
There are also the Li family and the Chen family. They have already agreed in advance that they will leave with us. We can't ignore them now! Do you want to go talk to Master Yue and see if you can send two more large flying boats? "
Ma Hongshan frowned and said: "You Jiu Yuan Sect is so easy to talk to. What's the use of me talking about it now? I can't care about it now. The most urgent thing is to hurry up and get rid of those important things I explained earlier. Load up the flying boat.
In the past few years, we have transported many mortals to the Yue Kingdom. The rest of the mortals who cannot be taken away will be left alone. No matter how hard the Xiaoyao Sect is, they will not take action against mortals. As for the Li family and others, they will be stable for the time being. Stay with them and don't let them know that we are leaving soon. "
"Fortunately, the patriarch has been prepared for a long time. He has made arrangements for the retreat in advance a few years ago. Otherwise, if the family suffered such a heavy loss all at once, it would be difficult for us to restore the family's strength in a short period of time when we come to Yue Kingdom." Seeing Ma Hong Shan looked displeased, and an elder below quickly started to flatter him.
"As you all know, our Ma family has been guarding the Iron Immortal Castle for Xiaoyao Sect for hundreds of years, but in the end, we still got their suspicion. No matter what happens in the future if we join the Jiuyuan Sect, at least Qiudie has formed a pill and successfully worshiped Wu. Under the Jiuyuan Sect, they won't blatantly exclude us when we get to Yue Kingdom." After Ma Hongshan finished speaking, he sighed slightly.
Five days later, the Xiaoyao Sect had not yet assembled a good manpower. The disciples of the Xiaoyao Sect who were monitoring the Iron Immortal Castle on the front line suddenly received news that two large airships suddenly flew out of the Iron Immortal Fort and headed west.
After hearing the news, everyone in the Xiaoyao Sect immediately reacted. The Ma family and the Jiuyuan Sect might be running away directly.
Without waiting for the low-level monks from the sect who had not yet arrived, Li Mufeng directly used his small flying boat to carry the nine golden elixir monks from the Xiaoyao Sect and rushed directly to Iron Immortal Castle.
As expected, there were only some monks from vassal families under the Ma family and millions of ordinary mortals left in Iron Immortal Castle. The remaining monks and the Jiuyuan Sect had already disappeared.
These monks who had been abandoned by the Ma family and the Jiuyuan Sect saw the Xiaoyao Sect arriving outside the formation. Before they could launch an attack, these monks took the initiative to open the mountain protection formation and let Song Qingming and others in.
"Follow me and chase, we will never let the Ma family go like this!" Seeing the deserted Iron Fairy Castle, Li Mufeng snorted coldly, led everyone into a white light, and chased directly to the west.
