|||->->The actions of the Ouyang family are unfolding overwhelmingly. The mining resources left by the Xiao family, the Liu family, the Cheng family, and the Ouyang family have been occupied one after another. The other three sects seem to have received some kind of permission to interact with each other. No more competition for time, and the remaining resources are evenly distributed.
A year has passed, and the Ouyang family has been unable to find the whereabouts of the mysterious force. They gradually began to lose patience and united with the remaining three sects to clean up the small forces in the southern region.
Forcing those forces to join the Ouyang family or the three major sects, otherwise the sect will be wiped out. This simple and crude method fully exposed the evil face of the Ouyang family. But helplessly, those small forces were no match for them at all, so they had no choice but to surrender one after another.
Because the battlefields of several plunders were near Xiangcheng, the people of the Ouyang family also learned wisely. Starting from Xiangcheng, thousands of miles away to the east, they gradually swept towards the west. In more than a year, they gradually approached the Tongyou Valley where the Zhou family was located.
Zhou Changtian was so anxious that he hurriedly asked to see Cheng Ling and told him everything.
Cheng Ling stayed in the Wuxiang Valley, and the actions of the Ouyang family had long been heard. Unfortunately, the specific strength distribution of the major families was not very clear, and he only knew a rough idea. Without accurate intelligence sources, we dare not act rashly.
In desperation, he could only instruct Zhou Changtian again to prohibit the disciples in the valley from going out without permission. On his side, he called the senior officials of Wuxiang Sword Sect and Famous Sword Academy to hold a closed-door meeting.
The people from the Famous Sword Academy were Brother Jian Wuya and a sword hero. As for Jian Fengshuang, he had never been interested in such meetings. Moreover, he had just recovered from his injury and was still in seclusion, so he did not attend.
Cheng Ling first told everyone the collected intelligence one by one, and finally said: "This is the latest news. Unfortunately, we don't know how many people the Ouyang family has dispatched, and what the strength of the remaining three sects is." And Zhi, now I just want to discuss with you how to act in the future."
Jian Wuya said: "Let's not talk about him for the time being among the three major sects. Although he far exceeds us in the number of disciples, their high-end combat power is similar. Mainly the Ouyang family, I don't know how many Mahayana monks they have. .”
Cheng Ling nodded and said, "Uncle Master is right. If they don't send many Mahayana monks, we can still try our best to deal with them. What we are most afraid of is that they send out late Mahayana monks, and we won't be able to resist them."
"At present, our resources can support the monks in the valley to practice for a long time, but it is not an option to stay in the valley all the time. We must go out and break the Ouyang family's blockade, so that we can take the initiative."
Jian Yinghao's lips twitched, but he finally couldn't help but said: "Perhaps we can contact Feng Yan Sect. If we can get their help, as long as we involve the Mahayana monks of the Ouyang family, we can let go."
Cheng Ling smiled and said teasingly: "Brother Jian has a good idea, just in time to see if Miss Feng Yanran is still imprisoned in the sect."
Jian Yinghao blushed deeply and was speechless.
Taoist Jian laughed and said: "Hero, it's no big deal. Feng Yanran has saved you many times. Besides, as a core disciple of Feng Yan Sect, becoming a Taoist couple doesn't mean it's an insult to you. There's nothing to be embarrassed about. "
Everyone burst into laughter.
After everyone laughed, Cheng Ling frowned and said, "Brother Jian is talking about a method, but as I said before, Feng Yanzong does not welcome outsiders.
Monk, if you go there rashly, you may not get the expected effect. At present, we still have to base ourselves on ourselves and find ways to break through the blockade. "
Liu Qingyan asked: "What are you going to do?"
"It's very simple. Isn't the Ouyang family searching for that mysterious power? We will use our tricks to form a small team and hide in the southern mountains. The sphere of influence left by the four major families is so huge. I don't believe it. Everywhere in the territory is full of people. A monk in the Mahayana stage.”
"As long as we find the right moment, take the opportunity to break out of the encirclement, and launch a few attacks on the outside, we can disrupt their position and lose sight of the other. Of course, it is very important to find the direction of the attack. It is also important to find the direction of the attack. It is necessary to cause interference and to be able to protect the whole body." And retreat!"
Everyone nodded silently, feeling that what he said made sense. Jian Wuya asked: "How many people are you planning to take?"
Cheng Ling pondered for a moment and said: "In the Wuxiang Valley, Qing Yan will stay behind, and the two master uncles and master wives will also stay here. The rest of the people will go, plus the Zhan Hall disciples, so more than a hundred people will be enough. .”
Jian Laodao frowned and said, "Are the number of people a little small?"
"Soldiers are more expensive than finesse. The purpose of taking the initiative here is to fight quickly. Once we encounter the monks of the Mahayana stage of the Ouyang family, we can retreat quickly. In this way, the disciples below the integration stage will have no effect. It’s better to concentrate on practicing in the valley.”
After everyone discussed for a while, they couldn't find a better way and could only agree.
The next day, Cheng Ling secretly left Wuxiang Valley with more than a hundred disciples. The first goal of this trip was to break out of the blockade of the Ouyang family. Jian Yinghao had been wandering in the south for several years. He knew the situation in the mountains well and kept giving directions along the way.
Along the way, they hid their bodies and mostly walked through the mountains. Cheng Ling had the highest level of cultivation and the widest coverage of his consciousness, so he naturally shouldered the responsibility of vigilance.
The group of people walked for two days. Jian Yinghao led everyone to the north first, and then made a big circle before turning back to the south. They just skipped the first wave of interceptions from the Ouyang family and arrived at a mine.
Cheng Ling, Jian Yinghao, and Xie Feng were hiding on the top of the mountain, watching the monks coming and going down the mountain busy. There were hundreds of vigilant monks around. They looked like disciples of the Sword Control Sect, and they were busy. Grab ore.
Jian Yinghao explained: "The mine here originally belonged to the Cheng family. The main material was copper essence. The amount of refining tools was only required and the quality was very high. After the destruction of the Cheng family, it was actually occupied by the Yujian Sect. It’s cheaper.”
Xie Feng's spiritual consciousness swept away and said: "There are about a thousand people below and hundreds of people in the cave. Their highest cultivation level is at the early stage of transcending the tribulation. Brother Cheng, do you want to take action?"
Cheng Ling's mind was racing. Since he was a bandit, he had to plunder everywhere and come and go without a trace, so as to confuse them. Thinking of this, he said decisively: "Kill!"
With an order, more than a hundred monks rushed down in an instant. The monks on alert soon realized something was wrong and rushed forward one after another. Some even released loud arrows into the sky to summon the monks in the sect for support.
It's a pity that their cultivation level is too different from that of Cheng Ling and others. In just one encounter, more than a hundred people were killed. The monks were shocked. Only then did they realize that the other party's cultivation level was at least in the Fusion stage. They couldn't care about protecting the mine, so they scattered one by one and ran away.
The monks who were mining outside ran away, but the monks in the cave had nowhere to escape. Cheng Ling led everyone into it, but during just a cup of tea, the monks who stayed in the cave were killed.
null. As for whether there are any hidden monks, I don't care that much anymore.
Cheng Ling returned to the outside of the mine, and with a sweep of his consciousness, he discovered the treasury storing copper essence. He stretched out his hand and played a few tricks, and the treasury door opened. There was no time to observe the number of copper essences. With a wave of his right hand, they were all put into the storage ring.
"Clean the battlefield and evacuate quickly!"
He ordered to go down, and the Zhantang disciples were already experienced. In less than a moment, they had collected all the monks' storage rings.
"Walk!"
With a low shout, he took more than a hundred monks and disappeared into the mine in an instant, leaving only corpses and collapsed mineral veins on the ground.
Jian Yinghao came to him and asked, "Brother Cheng, where should we go next?"
Cheng Ling pondered for a moment and said, "In which direction was your hiding place?"
"south!"
"Then head south. After the battle just now, the people from Yujianmen will react soon. They will rush from the east, and the people from Ouyang Family will encircle and suppress them from the west. The remaining south should be safe. of."
Jian Yinghao nodded and led everyone towards the south. Along the way, I met several groups of monks who intercepted them, and they were all killed one by one.
Cheng Ling frowned. After passing these intercepting monks, he felt a little uneasy. Could it be that the place where Jian Yinghao and others were hiding was discovered by the Ouyang family?
Just as he was about to ask Jian Yinghao, his spiritual consciousness swept over him and he felt that monks were coming from all directions. His face changed drastically and he said, "No, this is a trap. I was careless. I never thought they would put such a big bait here."
Xie Feng and Jian Yinghao were startled and asked, "What's going on?"
Cheng Ling's face was gloomy and he said: "That mine is basically a bait. We were just trying to get us to take action so we could grasp the specific whereabouts. Now there are monks coming from all around and we are surrounded!"
Jian Yinghao's face darkened and he said: "Kill out!"
"I feel that there are Mahayana monks from all directions, so I can only take a gamble. Everyone gather together and follow me to break through to the south!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his figure flashed forward and he rushed towards the south, followed closely by Jian Yinghao and others. After flying for less than a cup of tea, a large, dark group of monks appeared in front of them, numbering thousands of them.
Cheng Ling's consciousness swept over, his face changed, and he said: "One middle stage of Mahayana, three early stages of Mahayana, I will withstand the middle stage of Mahayana, and the rest will be left to you!"
After saying that, without waiting for the other monk to rush to the front, he followed the sword and killed the leading mid-level Mahayana monk with one move of Eternal Sky.
Jian Yinghao and Xie Feng looked at each other and each greeted an early stage Mahayana man. Zhang Hu, Song Yingjie, Bai Suzhen, and Xiao Changtian are facing the last stage of Mahayana.
"Kill!" The remaining hundred war hall disciples, led by Wu Chenlong, shouted in unison and plunged fiercely into the thousands of monks who were surrounding them.
When the monk in the middle stage of Mahayana saw that Cheng Ling came alone, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth. He had only successfully survived the tribulation, but he dared to take the lead in attacking. It seemed that he was impatient with life. But soon, he felt something was wrong.
Cheng Ling's swordsmanship is very exquisite. When the sword energy strikes, the space fluctuations produced are extremely strong and very fast. Dozens of sword lights are fired out in an instant. He felt a chill in his heart. This monk who had successfully overcome the tribulation was not a simple person. When did such a figure appear in the southern region?
