As the night fell, Tianyin Pavilion returned to silence. There is a breeze blowing through the mountains and forests, making a rustling sound. There were stone tables and benches placed in front of a Taoist mansion, and Ye Ling and Hua Xinfeng were sitting and drinking.
Not long after, Pan Yulin, who had arranged for Dongfang Ji and others, also hurried over, with a rare smile on his face.
Ye Ling looked at Pan Yulin's white hair and couldn't help but sigh: "It's all my fault that Tianyin Pavilion has ended up like this."
Pan Yulin shook his head and said: "How can I blame you? You don't know that our Tianyin Pavilion was called the Brothel Painting Studio many years ago. Only other sects and forces are willing to find Taoist companions from our Tianyin Pavilion, but In fact, the relationship has not been saved. If nothing happened this time, Tianyin Pavilion would have been estranged a long time ago. When the master hurriedly passed the position of pavilion master to me, it was because she was injured and could not suppress those who had evil intentions. It’s not your fault that Tianyin Pavilion is in this situation today, it’s Tianyin Pavilion’s own fault. On the contrary, without your protection today, Tianyin Pavilion would have been destroyed in my hands.”
Hua Xinfeng asked: "Old Pan, where will Tianyin Pavilion go from today?"
Pan Yulin sighed and said: "Now that things have happened, it is a blessing in disguise. Those who had second thoughts have all found their own way out this time. The ones left behind now can be regarded as loyal people. Since the three religions are not allowed to tolerate each other, I, Tianyin, Ge was not afraid, so he formed an alliance with Ye Zi's Wentian Sect and fought them to the end."
Ye Ling pondered for a while and asked: "Hua Jie'er, does your Wanbao Chamber of Commerce have any Taoist tools that can move mountains and seas? You can move the Tianyin Pavilion mountains to the Southern Territory."
Hua Xinfeng blinked: "You haven't drank too much?"
Ye Ling said: "Ning Changge has such a Taoist artifact. This is how Wentian Jiufeng moved to the Southern Territory."
"Wentian Jiufeng has moved to the Southern Territory!"
Hua Xinfeng had known the news for a long time, but this was the first time Pan Yulin heard about it, so he was a little shocked.
"Then just ask Ning Changge to come from the Southern Territory. I am afraid that our Wanbao Chamber of Commerce does not have such a powerful Taoist weapon."
Ye Ling looked at Hua Xinfeng's nonchalant look and couldn't help but laugh: "You are really stingy. Are you really your father's son?"
"I follow my mother!"
"..."
Pan Yulin smiled and said: "Nothing, if we need to evacuate the Eastern Region, I, Tianyin Pavilion, can give up the mountain gate. Isn't it just a few houses and a few mountains? As long as people are here, everything can be restarted. Now my Tianyin Pavilion disciples and The total number of elders is only 238, so it is easy to transfer."
Pan Yulin's words sounded relaxed, but in fact they were full of blood and tears.
Ye Ling raised his wine glass with a moved expression: "Sooner or later, let them pay with blood!"
After drinking a glass of strong wine, Ye Ling looked at Wei Ran again: "The Bu family is looking for a bride?"
"There are still four years left."
Wei Ran said: "I originally planned to practice hard in seclusion in the past four years, and strive to break through to the celestial phenomena. This way I will have greater control."
Hua Xinfeng chuckled when he heard this: "Wei Ran, you are really innocent. Do you think he followed Fengchen in choosing a son-in-law to choose a powerful role?"
Wei Ran couldn't help being stunned and blinked: "I'd like to hear the details!"
"The marriage of the Bu family has always been within the three families of the Northern Territory. The three families are connected by the same spirit. Only then can they stand firm in the Northern Territory and transcend the five realms. The reason why Bu Fengchen released the news of choosing a son-in-law for his daughter at this time is because It is because he sees that there may be an opportunity to reshuffle the cards among the various forces in the Five Realms, and he wants to find partners for cooperation, and there are many ways to do it. "
Ye Ling nodded and said, "That's why Xu Hong proposed to let Wei Ran join Dongfang Hai Pavilion and become one of the seven immortals in the pavilion."
"But Dongfang Haige is in disarray and is trapped on the southeastern island. It's the same situation as the three families in the Northern Territory. If the Bu family wants to extend their hands into the Eastern Territory or the Central Territory, they need to find one among the three religions. I think the choice There is a great chance of the Seven Immortal Lines or the Four Confucian Schools. Didn’t he just want to marry Huixianzhuang at the beginning?”
After hearing Hua Xinfeng's words, Ye Ling and the others were silent.
Pan Yulin said: "Brother Hua told us this, didn't he?"
"Yes, if the three Northern Territory families can join forces with us, wouldn't the chance of fighting against the three religions be greater? All this is so powerful.
With Wei Ran, we can't miss such a golden opportunity. "
Wei Ran was puzzled: "But what kind of identity should I find so that I can be on an equal footing with the three major religions?"
Hua Xinfeng smiled and said: "That's what I want to say, Pavilion Master Pan, if your Tianyin Pavilion merges with Ye Zi's Wentian Sect, would you be willing?"
"this……"
Pan Yulin remained silent. The merger of his sect with another sect was not a trivial matter. Although he was the master of the pavilion, he could not make the decision.
Ye Ling understood what Hua Xinfeng was thinking: "You mean to form a sect that can compete with the Seven Lineages of Immortality and the Four Confucian Schools, so that Weiran can have a bargaining chip with the Yi family to take action!"
"That's the reason. When the time comes, we can set up a worship hall in Wentian Sect. The heads of the four families of Hua, Qian, Jin, and Fu of Wanbao Chamber of Commerce, the Seven Immortals in Dongfang Haige Pavilion, and the Nine Southeast Bandits can all come in to make offerings. Such a background , the Bu family also needs to weigh it up."
Ye Ling and Wei Ran looked at each other, and their expressions softened a lot. What Hua Xinfeng said was a solution, but it required Tianyin Pavilion's consent.
Pan Yulin said in a deep voice: "I will go back and discuss it with the elders."
Hua Xinfeng said: "After all, it's just a temporary measure. It's not a bad idea to let Brother Pan enter the enshrinement hall. As long as we can raise Wentian Sect's confidence and reputation, we won't be afraid that Bu Fengchen won't be tempted."
"I understand."
Several people talked about other things, and Ye Ling asked about the whereabouts of Ming Xueyu, Yue Zhufeng and Jiang Fan. Hua Xinfeng said: "Ming, Yue and Master retreated, saying that they wanted to improve their cultivation as soon as possible. Jiang Fan has been missing since that day when he was hunted down and separated from the scholar. I sent people to look for him, but they couldn't find him. .”
"Could it be..." Pan Yulin thought of something bad.
Hua Xinfeng shook his head and said: "The three religions will not kill anyone. They are eager to catch someone who can blackmail Ye Zi, so Jiang Fan will not be caught or killed. It is possible that he is hiding and we can't find him. When the time is right, he will come out naturally."
Ye Ling nodded. Although he was worried, now was not the time to go out and find someone.
After the wine was almost drunk, everyone dispersed. Everyone was worried. The reunion of friends was not as joyful as imagined, but the topics at the dinner were full of heavy topics.
Early the next morning, everyone gathered in the main hall of Tianyin Pavilion. Pan Yulin cupped his hands and said: "As discussed yesterday, our Tianyin Pavilion cannot give up the sect's inheritance after all, and can only form an alliance with Wentian Sect. I will enter with several elders in the pavilion." I asked the Tianzong to enshrine the temple, I wonder if the seniors can agree?"
Pan Yulin's opinion is reasonable and no one will object.
Following Hua Yuanquan, he stood up and said: "Everyone, I have learned two major things here. One is that the Beihai Demon Abyss has been in turmoil recently. You should all know that the Demon Clan and the Holy Spirit Sect have had many contacts over the years, and there must be something big. Action. Secondly, outside the Great Wall of the South Territory, the extraterrestrial creatures have begun to launch an attack. The demon tribe is unable to support itself and may be breached."
Kongkong Arhat sighed: "Another catastrophe for living beings!"
Suddenly he asked: "How do the three religions react to this?"
Hua Yuanquan shook his head and said: "We don't know yet, but based on the current relationship between the three religions and the demon clan, I'm afraid they won't send anyone to support the Southwest Great Wall."
Nan An sneered and said, "I'm afraid their intention is to seal off the passage between the Eastern Territory and the Southern Territory, so that the demon clan and the creatures from outside the territory can fight and hurt both sides, so that they can reap the benefits."
Suan Wuyi nodded and said, "This is the least costly approach."
Ye Ling stood up and said, "But they overlooked one point. Why must the demon clan confront the alien beings? They can definitely cooperate! As far as I know, the alien creatures are a coalition of the human race and the demon race. The Celestial Silkworm Sect in the Southern Territory It has already colluded with outsiders, and if the three sects of the demon clan also announce their joining, it will be a disaster for our human race!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone changed their colors. Hua Yuanquan said: "I don't know this information yet. Ye Ling, how likely do you think the demon clan is to surrender to the enemy?"
Ye Ling said: "I have discussed this matter with Xu Hong, and we agreed that this is the second path chosen by the demon clan. If the three religions do nothing to help or are restrained, they will cooperate with outsiders. After all, there are two evils. Take it according to the power of the prime minister
Qing, there are also capable people in the demon clan. "
"Seniors, I plan to go to the Southern Territory immediately and garrison the Great Wall!"
Ye Ling's resolute words surprised everyone.
Dongfang Ji asked: "Why?"
Ye Ling said: "For myself and for all living beings in the five realms."
We are all smart people here. The first reason is naturally to make friends with the demon clan, but the latter reason is really high-sounding.
But they didn't expect that the latter reason was Ye Ling's sincerity. He really wanted to save the people of the Five Realms. He knew that if outsiders were allowed to enter the Five Realms, the Five Realms would cease to exist.
Unexpectedly, Nan'an echoed: "I will go with you. There are no eggs left in the overturned nest. When the Wanjian Shen Sect was destroyed, it is not easy for us to survive until now. If the five realms collapse, the people will be in danger. There is no place for us to stand."
Ren Qiang clenched his fists: "I don't know if those things from outside can withstand my fists!"
Ming Xiao's eyes were even more intense: "I am bound by the demon clan!"
The Southeast Nine Bandits are working together. Since the three of them have decided to go, the other five will not hesitate.
Wei Ran and Pan Yulin also proposed to go. Since Ye Ling was going, as brothers, they would not sit idly by.
Hua Xinfeng hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "If war breaks out, our business will not be able to continue."
Hua Yuanquan looked at Feng Lei and Feng Lei with a smile. They both laughed and said, "You are so old, how can you go crazy again?"
"I once promised not to kill anyone again, but now it seems I'm going to break my vow!"
Several people's eyes fell on Dongfang Ji. Dongfang Ji said: "In the fight between the two clans, numbers are indispensable. I, Dongfang Haige, will summon the scattered immortals to go. The demon clan needs to open the passage, so you must recruit more people."
Wen Zaidao said: "There is another thing, and that is the attitude of the three religions. If the three religions cannot send people to help, I am afraid that we and the demon clan will not be able to resist the army of alien creatures."
Everyone was silent. The power of the three religions was too powerful, accounting for almost 80% of the combat power of the Five Realms. Although the demon clan has many races, in terms of combat power, it is still not as much as the three religions of the human race.
Without the help of the Three Religions, they are doomed to fail this time.
Ye Ling said: "It depends on people, it is of great importance. Maybe the conscience of the three churches will find out and think about the common people in the world!"
But this was hard for everyone to believe and agree with.
After discussing the matter of going to the Southern Territory, Hua Yuanquan and Hua Xinfeng left first under the protection of Feng Lei and others, preparing to establish an intelligence network, and then summoned the monks to go to the Southern Territory. The seven immortals in the pavilion stayed with Wei Ran, and the remaining six returned to the southeast. , also in order to gather casual cultivators to support the Southern Region.
Eight of the nine southeastern bandits, including Weeping Blood, led the disciples of Tianyin Pavilion such as Ye Ling and Pan Yulin to go to the southern region first to join the Wentian Nine Peaks.
