In Wuxiang Valley, Cheng Ling and Liu Qingyan were making intensive preparations. Half a year has passed, and according to estimates, the rescue monks from the Ouyang Family are about to set off.
This ambush is of great significance. If the ambush is successful, it will disrupt the entire arrangement of the Ouyang family. The Ouyang Family's power to intimidate the South has been greatly weakened, and all major, medium and small forces will take advantage of the situation and compete for the resources of the South.
For this reason, Cheng Ling specially sent the news to Feng Yanzong. Feng Feifei was very generous and sent five Mahayana elders and thousands of monks to participate in the ambush.
What's left is Wuxiang Valley's own strength. In half a year, the number of Purple Dragon Guards increased to 300. This is the ultimate combat power that the disciples of Wuxiang Sword Sect and Zhou family can produce. Among the three hundred Purple Dragon Guards, the number of monks in the integration stage increased to 150, and the rest were in the distraction stage.
The preparations are ready, and the most important thing is to master the opponent's intelligence. Li Qing, the five major branches of Zhiyintang, was born in the Ouyang family and was more familiar with the Ouyang family, so he was responsible for the intelligence work of the southern branch.
After receiving Cheng Ling's summons, he hurried over to report: "Sect Master, there has been a tendency for a large number of monks from the Ouyang family to gather recently. Many monks who were originally searching for our traces in the south have been dispatched to our family."
"Oh, approximately how many people are there?"
"Looking at the movement, there are at least 30,000 people. It is said that they are led by the Mahayana elders Ouyang Lin and Ouyang Shan. It is unknown whether the other elders will participate in the war!"
"What kind of strength is it probably?"
"In the middle stage of Ouyang Lin's Mahayana, and in the early stage of Ouyang Shan's Mahayana, among the fellow monks there are ten tribulation monks and more than 300 monks in the integration stage. The momentum is very huge."
Cheng Ling was shocked and asked, "How well do you know the Ouyang family?"
"Sect Master, I have lived in the Ouyang family since I was a child. I go to the Ouyang family every year. I know them quite well."
"Then do you know the specific strength of the Ouyang family?"
"As far as my subordinates know, there are about ten monks in the Ouyang family in the Mahayana stage, more than thirty in the Tribulation stage, a thousand monks in the integration stage, about 10,000 monks in the distraction stage, more than 100,000 in the transformation stage, and the rest are all He is a monk below the level of Transformation God."
"How many children does the Ouyang family have?"
"There are probably more than 500,000 direct descendants of the family. Counting other attached forces such as the four major families and the three major sects, there are at least 15 million. However, the four major families have been destroyed by the sect master, and now the remaining ones should be Less than ten million."
Cheng Ling took a breath. Although the southern region had the fewest monks, he really didn't expect that the Ouyang family alone had more than ten million monks. Relatively speaking, the total number of monks in the Wuxiang Sword Sect and the Zhou family is only over one million.
Not counting the gap in combat power between the two, the Wuxiang Sword Sect wanted to swallow the big dragon of the Ouyang family, which was by no means an easy thing to accomplish. Fortunately, he himself planned to fight a protracted war, thinking about annihilating the opponent's effective strength step by step, and only launched a fatal blow in the end!
He was once again glad that he had been cautious before, leaving the three major sects behind, and uniting with Feng Yan Sect would involve most of the power of the Ouyang family.
Another thing that is gratifying is the establishment of Zhiyin Tang. In the past operations, we only had a vague idea of the enemy's situation. Unlike now, there is a specialized intelligence agency that can clearly understand the movements of the Ouyang family.
He praised and said: "You are doing a good job, keep watching, and report immediately if they make any move!"
"Yes!" Li Qing agreed and left.
Cheng Ling was lost in thought. The number of monks between the two
Almost ten times. During this trip, we must set up a dragnet to wipe out all these monks!
While he was hesitating, the disciple came to report that the evil wind was back!
Cheng Ling was overjoyed. He was worried that he didn't have enough high-end combat power, but he didn't expect Xie Feng to be back. He stood up hurriedly and went out to greet him.
As soon as they came out, they saw Xie Feng and Zhang Xiyan. The latter was filled with joy when he saw him and said, "Brother Cheng, you are really here! Where is Sister Jingwen? Why doesn't she come out?"
Cheng Ling's face darkened and she said, "Xiyan, your sister Jingwen has ascended back to the fairy world!"
"Ah!" Zhang Xiyan covered her mouth with her hands, a look of disbelief on her face.
Cheng Ling didn't want to talk to her about Yun Jingwen anymore, so he changed the topic and asked Xie Feng, "Brother Xie Feng, I didn't expect that you actually found her. How is the situation?"
A wry smile appeared on Xie Feng's face, he glanced at Zhang Xiyan, and then winked at him.
Cheng Ling understood instantly and said: "Xiyan, this is Wuxiang Valley. The environment is very beautiful and the concentration of spiritual energy is also good. You can look around in the valley. I will ask my disciple to accompany you there. I will talk to you later. How are you?"
Zhang Xiyan nodded in agreement, and Cheng Ling asked her disciple to take her around.
The two sat down separately, and Xie Feng sighed and said, "Brother Cheng, we have indeed found the person, and she also has the Qilin Essence Fire in her body."
Cheng Ling asked in confusion: "In that case, why is Brother Xie Feng frowning?"
Xie Feng sighed: "It's a pity that I was late. Over the years, she has refined the Qilin Essence Fire, and even the soul has been integrated into it. Unless I beat her to ashes and separate the essence fire from the soul. , can be used by me.”
Cheng Ling frowned, this was not going to be easy. Not to mention that Zhang Xiyan had experienced life and death with him, so he couldn't do anything for Yun Jingwen's sake.
After a moment of silence, he asked again: "Is there no other way?"
"Yes!" Xie Feng said with a bitter smile: "The first method is for her to become a Taoist couple with me and practice together as husband and wife. Only in this way can the energy in the Qilin Essence Fire be stimulated. But since Yun'er's death, I have sworn not to get involved again. Emotional matters, that feeling is so painful!”
Cheng Ling didn't expect him to be so affectionate, and at the same time he was pleased with the changes. If Liu Yun hadn't been with him for so many years, Zhang Xiyan would have been beaten to ashes and possessed the Qilin Essence Fire by his temperament when he was in the Demon Blood Continent.
"Is there another way?"
"Yes, the second method is to gather the power of Kirin's fire origin in three places. The first place is the essence fire, and the remaining two places are its two eyes. As long as you find the missing eyes of Kirin and refine them, you can Can forcefully suck out the inner fire."
Cheng Ling smiled bitterly, this method is more difficult. Since the beginning of Chaos, the four great divine beasts and the four great spiritual beasts have been fighting continuously. Qilin's eyes have long since disappeared, and it is not easy to find them.
Xie Feng added: "And the heart fire is not safe in her body. I heard from Brother Cheng that she only had the cultivation level of the early stage of spiritual transformation. To advance to the distraction stage in such a short period of time, she must have refined some of her heart." The energy in the fire.”
"But the energy of the heart fire is so huge. Qilin is the body of a spiritual beast, and its physical body is extremely powerful. And she is just a mortal. If this continues, as the energy is refined and deepened, her cultivation will be increased, but one day The violent inner fire energy that cannot be controlled will be completely exploded!"
Cheng Ling was startled and asked, "Is there a solution?"
Xie Feng smiled bitterly and shook his head!
Cheng Ling was speechless. It seemed that the fire in Zhang Xiyan's body was like a time bomb. He didn't know when it would explode. The situation was too dangerous.
Seeing his frown, Xie Feng comforted him: "Brother Cheng, don't worry too much. Although this situation exists, it cannot be achieved in the short term. Fortunately, she does not have much energy to refine. We still have time to think about it." Think of other ways.”
Cheng Ling had no choice but to put the matter aside for the time being and said: "That's all, life and death are determined by destiny, wealth is in the sky, I hope she has such an opportunity! By the way, Brother Xie Feng, this return is very timely, we are planning to Take action against the Ouyang family!"
Xie Feng perked up and asked, "Seriously? When will it be?"
Cheng Ling told him the news one by one. After he finished, he said: "The most important thing now is that the number of monks is too different. I have arranged for the disciples of the Wuxiang Sword Sect to come to Wuxiang Valley in large numbers. When we get there, we will take the opportunity to launch an ambush."
Xie Feng finally cheered up and said, "Okay, then I will make some preparations and wait for the news from Brother Cheng."
After saying that, he left.
Both parties were making intense preparations. A few days later, Cheng Ling was watching the refining of the purple dragon armor in the weapon hall. A disciple came to report that Zhou Changtian came.
When they arrived at the meeting hall, they saw Zhou Changtian anxiously walking around the hall, looking at a loss.
Cheng Ling sat down and asked in surprise: "Master Zhou, why are you so upset?"
Zhou Changtian said: "Your Majesty, people from the Ouyang family are here again. This time it is their eighth elder, Ouyang Tian!"
"Oh?" Cheng Ling's heart moved, Ouyang Tian? He was an old acquaintance, and I didn't expect to hear from him again so soon. Then he asked: "What did he say?"
"As before, we hope that our Zhou family will join the Ouyang family. Of course, the Ouyang family will provide shelter for the Zhou family, help us become one of the few forces in the south, and take charge of the resources and mines left vacant by the Liu family and the Xiao family. "
"Hmph! It's a good fight. What conditions do they have?"
"The condition is that you must pay more than 70% of the resources of the two major families every year!"
"Sure enough! In this case, Master Zhou, don't refuse in a hurry. Just tell Ouyang Tian that 70% of the resources are subject to discussion. Can it be lowered? Try to hold him back as much as possible, and at the same time speed up the sales of finished products in Xiangcheng. From my side I will also supervise the four halls of the Danfu Array."
Zhou Changtian hesitated for a moment and said, "What if they can't bear it anymore?"
Cheng Ling smiled sinisterly and said: "Don't worry, it won't take long. As long as all the monks from the three major sects who have received support from the Ouyang family will be wiped out, I think they will naturally have no intention of paying attention to the transactions in Xiangcheng. Go ahead. There is no need to be so groveling. Now It’s because people want something from the Zhou family, so they can raise their price appropriately!”
Zhou Changtian suddenly woke up and left in a hurry.
Time passed slowly, and ten days passed in the blink of an eye. News about Li Qing continued to spread back to Wuxiang Valley, and on the tenth day, the exact news finally came. Three days later, 30,000 monks from the Ouyang Family will set out for the Sword Sect!
Cheng Ling was overjoyed and hurriedly took several disciples from the formation hall to investigate the necessary roads. Finally, he chose a long and narrow valley area and began to arrange the formation.
Due to limited time and a very long canyon, we could only set up a seventh-grade mysterious formation. We also set up several hiding places in the canyon, equipped with a large number of bows and crossbows. Once the monks of the Ouyang family entered it, they would be able to produce extremely powerful effects. Great lethality!
