Although Hokuriang and Izumo are neighbors, they have often been in a state of hostility throughout history.
The reason is that at the border between the two countries, there is a huge mountain range spanning the two countries, called the "Long Bo Mountains".
The Longbo Mountains not only stretch for thousands of miles, but there are also countless large and small spirit stone veins hidden in the mountains. In order to compete for these spirit stone veins, the monks of the two countries often have conflicts.
During the most serious period of the war, many countries, including the Lingqiong Kingdom, were even alarmed, and a powerful mediation team was formed. They traveled thousands of miles to mediate the conflicts between the two countries. In the end, under pressure from all parties, the two countries separated. Detailed national borders.
At this point, the large-scale conflict between the two countries has been alleviated.
But it's just relief.
The monks from the two countries have already forged a deadly feud in their battles over the years, which cannot be resolved in a day or a month.
To this day, the Longbo Mountains are still a restricted area of death and blood. New nameless corpses appear every day, and there are also countless groups of thieves running around, committing crimes and robbing passing caravans.
There are even rumors that most of these thieves groups are played by the other party's Immortal Sect disciples.
After all, for decades or hundreds of years, there have been a mountain of wanted orders for bandit gangs in both countries, but it is rare to hear that there are really villains who are trying to kill the law.
And now, because of Li Xuantian's case in Lianxiang Village, the conflict between the two countries has become more and more intense!
Massacring civilians is an evil act that no monk can tolerate!
Not to mention, the murderer is someone from a hostile country!
After listening to the three people's stories, Ling Xiao finally had a certain understanding of the recent situation between the two countries, and he also understood why Jiang Yu had to kill Li Xuantian.
If the border conflict continues to be ignored, the two countries may really break out into a full-scale war due to the backlog of historical grievances.
If this happens, Li Xuantian is simply the trigger.
war……
Ling Xiao couldn't help but feel palpitations when he heard this word.
He is a pacifist.
Under the tree, the three people changed the topic and started to deduce who would win the final victory in the war between the two countries.
And judging from the appearance of one of them, he is still an expert in war, and he seems to have a good understanding of war and the gap in strength between the two countries.
"Both countries have only one Golden Core cultivator, so the key factor that determines the final victory must be the amount of combat power in the foundation-building period!"
"Unfortunately, even if we include the hidden foundation-building monks of the major immortal sects, we, Izumo, do not have an advantage in this regard."
"After we go back, it's best to deal with the border issues and try to restore the previous 'order out of chaos' situation."
"According to my speculation, within 20 years, there will be a turmoil in Beiliang! At that time, it will be our chance to break out of the clouds!"
Another person frowned and asked: "How can you see it?"
The war expert smiled slightly and said: "There are two reasons. One is that the golden elixir ancestor of Zifengtai is about to live for 20 years, and he may not live for 20 years; the other is that this person has become crazy and will definitely die before he dies. Desperate to eliminate future troubles at all costs to ensure that the dominance of Zifengtai will not be shaken after his death! Mr. He should understand this, right?"
That Mr. He was a monk in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment. His eyes twitched and he nodded: "Fifty years ago, Xiao Bufan, an unprecedented super genius in the history of the Xiao family, died suddenly and inexplicably. He once fought with this person. Jiao Dao is indeed an extraordinary person, who else can kill him besides the man from Zifengtai?"
Another person couldn't help but be speechless: "The Xiao family is also one of the top powers in the Northern Liang Kingdom, and they can actually endure such humiliation!"
"What can I do if I can't bear it? Is it better to kill Xiao Bufan than to exterminate the entire clan?"
"Don't talk about the Xiao family, I'm afraid there is no shortage of such things in Zifengtai!"
The three of them shook their heads and sighed.
Similar things are not uncommon in the history of Izumo Country.
The Golden elixir monk is a god-like existence, with the magical power to turn his hands into clouds and his hands into rain.
Killing other people's hope of forming a pill is the only secret method to maintain a long-term rule!
This is called: taking other people's paths and leaving others with nowhere to go.
After hearing these words in the tree, Ling Xiao couldn't help but feel ripples in his heart, remembering Xuangui Sanren's experience back then.
Xuangui also died at Zifengtai on the eve of forming the elixir.
The world of cultivating immortals is really thrilling at every step. Not only do you have to compete with heaven for luck, but you also have to compete with people for your life!
The three people who followed up also lost interest in talking and seemed to be imagining their own vision of forming an elixir.
I don’t know how much time passed.
Amidst the ice and snow in the distance, there suddenly appeared an escaping light.
Ling Xiao's spiritual consciousness was even stronger than that of the monk surnamed He, and he immediately discovered this escaping light.
In the gap between the branches of the tree, the corners of his mouth turned up in a bloodthirsty arc.
Get off the tree and slowly walk towards the escaping light.
The three people from Izumo Kingdom were unaware of his actions, and slowly discovered the existence of this escaping light. They immediately looked at each other and stood up.
The person who came had an ordinary appearance, and there was a faint smoke lingering around him. He was the Xiao family's foundation-building enshrinement, Li Xuantian!
It's a pity that the three people from Izumo Kingdom never met him. For a while, they didn't know Li Xuantian's identity. They thought it was someone from Zifengtai, so they snorted coldly and waited at the top of the mountain.
Li Xuantian came with the evading light. Before he got close to Poluo Mountain, he noticed something was wrong and stopped evading the light, with a look of surprise on his face.
The three people on the mountain are obviously wearing Izumo costumes!
Didn’t you say that there were witnesses from that year on the mountain?
How did he become... the foundation-building monk of Izumo Country!
Immediately, Li Xuantian felt something bad. He judged that the information was fraudulent, hurriedly controlled the escape light, and prepared to leave without looking back!
It's too late, it's faster than that!
In the sky above Li Xuantian's head, a dark cloud condensed without any warning.
Then came the fierce thunder and lightning, which seemed to be carrying seven years of pent-up anger and hatred, and was struck down hard!
"What?!"
Li Xuantian was shocked.
What surprised me was not that there was an ambush, but that the thunder and lightning was not Ma Ying's...
"hateful!"
Li Xuantian was confused, but even though he was frightened, he fluttered his robe sleeves, and the mist lingering around him rolled out in an instant, forming an illusory shield in front of him.
Boom!
Thunder and lightning struck the shield, and the mist rolled endlessly, swallowing up all the power of thunder and lightning.
At the same time, a sword with cold light was held in Li Xuantian's hand. He looked around angrily and shouted: "Who is it?!"
Is it really Ma Ying?
Li Xuantian didn't dare to think about it anymore.
Ma Ying has been increasingly relied on by the Xiao family in recent years. On the contrary, he has gradually become a marginalized figure in the Xiao family after the Lianxiang Village case broke out.
The Xiao family wants to abandon themselves like worn-out shoes?
As soon as this thought came to his mind, Li Xuantian felt a sense of despair.
Just when he was distracted, a knife seemed to appear out of thin air from the bottom of Jiuyou and appeared in front of Li Xuantian's throat.
The blade is so cold.
It was so cold that Li Xuantian suddenly had goosebumps all over his body, and the shadow of death enveloped him without warning.
