The clouds are thousands of miles high, and the sky is far away. The strong wind passed through the void in my ears, leaving a sound like the sound of heaven.
The bird that Ming Xiao transformed into was several feet in size, and its back was spacious, allowing Ye Ling and others to sit comfortably.
Ning Changge sat cross-legged and used his Tao power to heal his injuries. Although the restrictions on his body were broken by Ye Ling, his injuries were still serious and he needed to recover for a while.
What's more serious is Nan'an. In order to resist the poison in his body, he lost his cultivation, and his legs were also disabled, becoming a disabled person.
Ren Qiang was always angry: "I will go back to the Eastern Region and call all my brothers here, but I will make this ungrateful bastard kneel in front of you and kowtow to admit his mistake!"
Nan An waved his hands calmly and said nothing. There is nothing more sad than heartbreak. He has always raised Lu Chen as his own son, who would have thought that he would reach this point today.
Ye Ling was watching over Xiao Xuanyu. Xiao Xuanyu had not shown any panic since he was captured. Instead, he kept chatting with Ye Ling: "I recognize Duan Hanzhang from Yuxuan Palace, but it's a pity that he almost died because of you."
"I also knew Sun Shaozu of Huixianzhuang, and it seems that he was also killed by you."
"Let me think about who else I know. Maybe they will die in your hands one day."
Ye Ling frowned and said, "Aren't you afraid that I will kill you now?"
"What's the use of being afraid? I can't beat you. If you want to kill me, you should do it here. But you see that I still have value and want to keep me to blackmail my Holy Religion, right?"
"You know better."
"This is what smart people and people who think they are smart do."
Ye Ling smiled when he heard this: "As a hostage, you dare to mock the person who kidnapped you. You are considered to be self-righteous."
Xiao Xuanyu smiled and said: "Both and each other, value will not change just because of a few unpleasant words, unless you can be replaced at any time. Now you only have me as a hostage of the Holy Spirit Cult, and I don't have to worry about losing the value of being used. .”
"You've asked me so many questions along the way, so it's my turn to ask you."
"Ask, I will tell you everything."
"What collusion does the Holy Spirit Religion have with the Wanjian Shen Sect?"
"I don't know this. This matter was manipulated by Qiu Wanfei. He didn't tell me the inside story of the matter."
"You don't know why you came to the Southern Territory?"
"I said, I came to see the Saint. She heard that you had arrived in the Southern Territory and was very worried. She went to look for you alone. I was sent by Li Chunyuan to find the Saint and bring her back. It's that simple."
"Your words don't make me believe it."
"Believe it or not, whether what I say is true or not, it's not me you should be concerned about right now."
After hearing this, Ye Ling stopped talking and turned to look at Nan An on the other side. Nan An also looked at him, their eyes met, and Nan An said: "Now that I have done this, everything else will be left to you."
Ye Ling nodded, thinking about the next countermeasures.
It only took Ming Xiao five days to reach the shore of Mingjing Lake. Teng Yun, who had rushed back a day earlier, was caught up and came back with Ming Xiao.
Seeing Ye Ling and Ning Changge coming back, Dan, Yong and others hurriedly came over to greet them. Ye Ling first arranged for Shan Jie and the others to take care of Nan'an, and then went to the main hall where the barbarians were meeting and talked about the current situation.
"The Ten Thousand Swords Divine Sect will definitely send someone here. It is estimated that it will arrive in four or five days. We need to make plans early."
Yongdao: "If they dare to come, we will fight them!"
Elder Yuan shook his head and said, "I'm afraid this will be a catastrophe for our tribes!"
Ye Ling asked: "Where are the people from the Juchen tribe and the Siwu tribe, and how long will it take for them to arrive?"
Elder Hui said: "The people we sent reported that they are already on the way, but the tribe has a large number of people and they will not be able to get there in a while. It will take at least a month to reach Mingjing Lake."
Ye Ling thought for a moment and then said: "I asked Uncle Mingxiao to go and fetch the monks from their two tribes first to prepare for the upcoming war!"
Dan asked, "Is this battle inevitable?"
"At this point, I'm afraid I can't persuade the Wanjian Shenzong to stop." Ye Ling sighed and said, "Immediately send people to escort the ordinary tribesmen to move to Houzhao Plateau to take refuge. The warriors all stayed behind, and the Wanjian Shenzong There are more than a thousand people who are capable warriors, and our four tribes combined, I hope we can withstand their offensive!"
Everyone present nodded. The barbarians were never afraid of fighting, not to mention that this time they were willing to fight to protect their own people, even if they died in battle.
Soon, the elders began to arrange for the tribesmen to leave. Elder Hui came to Ye Ling's side and said: "My Houzhao tribe currently has nine immortal realm elders, fifty-seven Yingchong realm warriors, and Lingxu realm There are one hundred and forty-four warriors, 365 Qingyou Realm warriors, and 586 Huiling Realm warriors."
The Houzhao tribe is second only to the Mengzhang tribe in strength among the eight barbarian tribes, so there are so many capable warriors.
Elder Ying of the Cangwu Tribe also came to report: "The Cangwu Tribe has four people in the Immortal Realm, 49 people in the Yingchong Realm, 105 people in the Lingxu Realm, 330 people in the Qingyou Realm, and 400 people in the Huiling Realm. Eighty-eight people."
The Cangwu tribe has always been quiet, but there are many monks in the tribe. On the contrary, the brave tribe only has one person in the Yingchong realm, four in the Lingxu realm, 27 in the Qingyou realm, and 18 in the Huiling realm.
The reason why there are so few is because they experienced the battle in the Hongling Mountains, and more than half of them were killed or injured.
Although there are thirteen strong Immortal Realm warriors among the barbarians, they do not have powerful Taoist weapons in their hands, nor do they have peak cultivation levels. Therefore, when facing the eight immortal realm peak elders from the Ten Thousand Swords Divine Sect, they are afraid that It takes four people to block one person. What's more, there are two powerful people in the Celestial Realm, Lu Chen and Qiu Wandi!
Ning Changge came over and said, "Yi Zi, I heard that there are two strong men in the Celestial Phenomenon Realm in the Wanjian Divine Sect. Even though we have more Immortal Realm monks than them, we are powerless against the Celestial Phenomenon Realm!"
Ye Ling said: "Don't be afraid. I have a magic sword, eighteen magic-suppressing pillars, and your clay pot. As long as we make good use of these three tools, we may be able to win."
"Is it too risky?"
"At this point, we can only take a chance. We have experienced such things rarely. This time we have a lot of chips."
"That's true, but only if the Juchen tribe and the Siwu tribe can catch up, otherwise our efforts will be in vain."
"It must be possible!"
For three days in a row, it was quiet on the shores of Mingjing Lake. There was no news from Mingxiao, nor did the Ten Thousand Swords Divine Sect come to attack. The spies sent out by Ye Ling followed one after another, but none of them met the vanguard of the Wanjian Shen Sect.
Under the big tree, Nan An was sitting on a wooden wheelchair, with Ye Ling standing next to her. Ye Ling said: "Uncle, I'm afraid you don't want to see us going to war with the Wanjian Shenzong, so why do you need to stay here?"
Nan'an said: "If I didn't see it with my own eyes, I would still have a hard time thinking about it in the future. On the contrary, if I saw it with my own eyes, I might feel better."
"Uncle Master, do you think we have a chance of winning?"
"The Ten Thousand Swords Divine Sect was not founded by Lu Chen alone. The disciples within the sect will be at odds with him, and the Holy Spirit Sect is using him behind the scenes. He will definitely lose this battle!"
Ye Ling listened to Nan An's tone, but could only hear the unbearable feeling in Nan An's heart. Even at this point, Nan An did not want to see Lu Chen lose.
"Elder Ye!"
Yong hurriedly ran over and said, "Lu discovered the spies from the Mengzhang tribe!"
"oh?"
Ye Ling glanced at Nan An, who waved his hand and said, "Go ahead, Shanjie and the others will take care of me, so you don't have to worry."
Ye Ling nodded and immediately followed Yong, running dozens of miles towards the outside of Mingjing Lake. He met Lu with several female disciples from the Cangwu tribe, guarding a barbarian.
The barbarian was only at the Lingxu realm. He was hit by a poisonous arrow from Lu. His face was livid and he looked very painful.
Ye Ling and Yong rushed over and said, "This man is a front-line spy of the Mengzhang tribe."
Ye Ling asked: "Tell the truth and I will give you the antidote, otherwise you will die of pain. Let me ask you, how far are your people from here?"
The barbarian said: "It's not far away, only less than a day."
distance. "
"How many people came in total?"
The barbarian said: "Our Mengzhang tribe and the Fuyu tribe who came over to join us are warriors from two tribes."
"Where are the people from the Ten Thousand Swords Sect?"
"I don't know, they didn't come with us."
"Um?"
Ye Ling frowned, feeling incredible. He had already made arrangements for a life-or-death showdown with the Ten Thousand Swords Divine Sect, but now the Ten Thousand Swords Divine Sect didn't come?
"You mean, the people of the Wanjian Shenzong stayed in the Hongling Mountains and let your two tribes come to attack us?"
"No, the people from the Ten Thousand Swords Sect left two days before us. They split into two groups and went in different directions."
When Ye Ling heard this, he couldn't help being shocked. He already knew Lu Chen's intention. He would first destroy the Juchen tribe and the Siwu tribe, and then come to Mingjing Lake to fight with the Cangwu tribe and the Zhao tribe to show off!
Thinking of this, Ye Ling hurriedly turned around and returned. When Yong saw it, he also hurriedly followed.
The two of them returned to the shore of Mingjing Lake one after another. Ye Ling immediately summoned everyone and expressed his thoughts. Ning Changge was shocked: "If this is the case, we will be defeated one by one, and death is expected."
Elder Hui said: "Now that people from the Mengzhang and Fuyu tribes are harassing us, do we still have the energy to help the Juchen and Siwu tribes?"
Ye Ling said: "The Mengzhang Tribe and the Fuyu Tribe are nothing to be afraid of. The one we are most afraid of right now is the Wanjian Divine Sect. I think we only need to leave some people to defend against the attacks of the Mengzhang Tribe and the Fuyu Tribe, and the others will follow me to fight against the Wanjian Sect." Shenzong."
But Elder Kui said: "The Mengzhang tribe is the strongest among our eight tribes, but there are nearly twenty immortal realm elders. Even if both of our tribes stay, it will be difficult to resist them. How can we still do it?" Divide the troops and go out?"
Everyone was silent when they heard this. Now the gap in strength is too big. No matter what, they can't get the best of both worlds.
At this time, Io suddenly said: "Since they can lead us away, why can't we find a way to lead them too?"
"Io, what do you mean? Please tell me carefully."
Yiwei said: "All the ordinary barbarians here have left, which is equivalent to throwing off a big burden. The monks are very mobile and can leave at any time. We might as well abandon Mingjing Lake and go all out to save the other two tribes. As long as we send These people left marks along the way, so that the people of the Mengzhang tribe and the Fuyu tribe mistakenly thought that we were escaping in other directions. Wouldn't it be enough to deny them the chance to chase the ordinary barbarians who left?"
After hearing what Yiwei said, everyone's eyes lit up and they all looked at Ye Ling. Ye Ling made the final decision: "Good plan, let's do it!"
