After some deliberation, Ouyang Xiong finally made up his mind. In the first step, the three sects asked for help and had to be rescued, but this time their strength increased several times. Leading the three elders Ouyang Lei, Ouyang Feng, and Ouyang Ze, only Ouyang Po is left in the family.
The late Ouyang Lei Mahayana, the middle Ouyang Feng Mahayana, and the early Ouyang Ze Mahayana were accompanied by fifty thousand elite monks from the Ouyang family. This combination is enough to sweep the entire southern region.
The second step is to recall Ouyang Tian, who is still at odds with the Zhou family, and ask him to go to the Duanmu Family and the East China Sea Dragon Palace. Tell the other party about the chaotic scene in the southeastern coastal area and make it clear that your family is bent on developing southward. It's up to you whether you two want to share a share of the resources in the southeast!
He also specifically told Ouyang Tian not to bring it up specifically, but to just bring it up casually during casual chat, so as not to make people from the Duanmu Family and Donghai Dragon Palace think that the Ouyang Family wanted something from each other and take the opportunity to ask for some benefits.
After hearing this, Ouyang Tian wanted others to help, but he didn't want to owe any favors. The head of the family was very clever in his calculations. But if you think about it carefully, it does make sense. Whether the East China Sea Dragon Palace will take action or not is still uncertain, the Duanmu family will definitely not be able to bear it.
Among the nine major powers, the Duanmu family has always been weak, evenly matched with the Ouyang family, and was overwhelmed by the East China Sea Dragon Palace, which was also in the Canglang Sea. I have always wanted to get rid of the suppression of the East China Sea Dragon Palace. If I can take the opportunity to enter the mainland, I will never give up easily.
Anyway, I have been talking nonsense in the Zhou family for more than half a year, and I have long been impatient. If the family hadn't focused all their attention on that mysterious force, it would have chilled the rest of the southern forces and would have annihilated it long ago.
A mere second-rate force dares to bargain with the Ouyang family. It's so boring!
Now that I received a new mission and learned that Ouyang Shan and Ouyang Lin were missing, it was probably due to some accident. I didn't dare to act rashly. I took Ouyang Lei's instructions and headed to the Duanmu Family and the East China Sea Dragon Palace.
In the third step, Ouyang Xiong recalled all the disciples who were still searching in the south.
It's been several years, a bunch of trash, so many people can't find any trace of the enemy, and they are still running to the southeast right under their noses. Four families were wiped out, three sects were besieged, and the entire south was thrown into chaos.
If an accident happened to Ouyang Lin and others, someone from the Feng Yan Sect must have taken action. The other forces would not be so courageous and would not be so strong. Now that they have taken action, the Ouyang Family must not take it lightly. They must use thunderous means to control some small forces that take advantage of the chaos and subdue them, letting them know that the south is still the world of the Ouyang Family.
The orders were issued one by one, and everyone in the Ouyang family took action. The storm was about to come, and the whole south suddenly fell into a very tense situation.
The happiest person was Zhou Changtian. When Ouyang Tian left Xiangcheng, the Ouyang family's policy also changed. They no longer pressed towards the Xiangcheng area, but towards the southeast coast. Naturally, he didn't know that Ouyang Xiong wanted to get support from the Duanmu Family and the East China Sea Dragon Palace, but he also didn't want to lose too much. The Ouyang Family's power would do its best to push to the southeast.
But in this way, Tongyou Valley completely let go of its hands and feet. The transaction volume in Xiangcheng is increasing every day, and the Zhou family is growing at an extremely fast speed.
On Cheng Ling's side, after cleaning up the three major sects, a massive amount of resources were gathered into his hands. Liu Qingyan was ordered to transport all these resources to Wuxiang Valley and do his best to refine the purple dragon armor and crossbow arrows. These two are powerful weapons. When the number of monks is insufficient, they can only rely on these to defeat Ouyang Shi.
Family monk.
Wuxiang Valley has become a veritable arsenal, and even though the four halls of alchemy arrays are operating at full capacity, the supply still exceeds demand. We had no choice but to transfer all the four disciples in Jiange to ensure production.
There are also monks above the divine transformation stage left behind by the three major sects, who are enclosed in the mountain-protecting formation of Yujian Sect. After more than half a year of brainwashing and kindness and power, most of the monks have acquiesced to the current situation and are at ease working for Cheng Ling and others. .
There is no way, the big bosses of the three major sects who have reached the integration stage or above are all banned, you can't accept it!
Cheng Ling finally felt relieved and asked Jian Yinghao and others to continue to strengthen the monks' training. At the same time, he returned to Wuxiang Valley to supervise the refining of the purple dragon armor.
After more than two months of this, Li Qing, the leader of the southern branch of Zhiyin Hall, came to report the recent intelligence collected.
The two of them sat down separately. Cheng Ling was in a good mood. The refining of the purple dragon armor was progressing steadily, and now it has reached 500 sets. Another good news came from Jian Yinghao. More than 30,000 monks from the three major sects were conquered. He also tried to release them to annihilate two small forces, which could be used as effective combat power for subsequent actions against the Ouyang family. Another new force has been added!
Unfortunately, Li Qing's expression was not good. Without waiting for Cheng Ling to say a few words, he said: "Sect Master, the people of the Ouyang family have taken action."
Cheng Ling was startled and asked, "What's going on?"
"According to the news from our disciples lurking in the Ouyang Family, the head of the family, Ouyang Xiong, sent another rescue team to the three major sects, led by Ouyang Lei, Ouyang Feng, and Ouyang Ze. There were 50,000 people, all of whom were chemical A monk who is above god."
Cheng Ling was shocked. This action was not small. There were more than 50,000 monks who were transformed into gods and above, and there were three Mahayana monks leading them. As expected by Li Qingsong, the Ouyang family was determined to obtain the resources of the three major sects.
After pondering for a moment, he asked, "Do you know their specific route?"
"Currently, these monks are still undergoing repairs, and it is estimated that they will set off within ten days. After all, these people are all transferred from the south, and it will take some time."
"As for the specific route, I haven't learned yet, but my subordinates feel that they will not choose Yaojian Canyon like last time."
"What's the reason?"
"After Ouyang Lin and others disappeared, the Ouyang family sent people to investigate. Although no monks were found, they stayed in Yaojian Canyon for a long time. Later, my subordinates also sent people to investigate, and there was indeed someone there. There are many traces of fighting, so no one from the Ouyang family will take risks again."
Cheng Ling nodded silently and asked, "That makes sense. Based on your inference, which route will they choose?"
Li Qing thought for a moment and said: "There are still two routes from the Ouyang family to the three major sects. The first one is to travel from the north, along the Shiwanda Mountain to the east coast, and then go south to Yujianmen. .”
"The second route goes through the mountains from the south, all the way to Jiuxiao Sect. However, the southern route is difficult to walk. The mountains are steep and sparsely populated, and there are many monsters and beasts. Unlike Shiwandashan, the mountains are gentle and there are no traces of monks' activities. Many, my subordinates think they have a high chance of choosing the first route."
Cheng Ling nodded slowly. He once went to the south to search for spiritual veins, and also found a strange place with a five-pointed star. The area further south is indeed too sparsely populated, and the strength of the monsters is much stronger than those on the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
But these are all speculations. To intercept the Ouyang family's request for help, it must be accurate.
Keep track of their movements. He then said: "Okay, thank you for your hard work, Hall Master Li. Continue to pay attention to their movements and report them as soon as the direction is determined!"
Li Qing nodded slightly and continued: "Sect Master, there is one more thing. The Ouyang family has recalled almost all the monks in the south this time, and seems to be preparing to advance to the southeast with all its strength. The support force in front is just one step ahead, and the large force behind it Push forward.”
Cheng Ling frowned and asked, "But what do they want to do after hearing about it?"
"It's not clear yet, I just know that we are trying our best to gather the monks."
Cheng Ling thought for a while and couldn't figure out the reason, so he said, "That's it. If you continue to investigate, you must find a way to find out the ultimate purpose."
Li Qing agreed and left.
Cheng Ling sat silently in the hall, thinking in his mind. What exactly is the Ouyang family planning to do? Could it be that they knew the identities of themselves and others and gave up the south to prepare for the changes in the southeast? Did the concentrated resources of the three major sects really make the Ouyang family lose their sense of proportion?
After thinking for a long time, I couldn't think of what the other party wanted to do. At this moment, the disciple came to report that Zhou Changtian had arrived.
Cheng Ling nodded slightly, put aside his thoughts and waited patiently. After a while, Zhou Changtian walked in with a happy face.
Cheng Ling asked curiously: "Master Zhou, why are you so happy? Did Ouyang Tian agree to your opinion?"
Zhou Changtian smiled easily and said: "Your Majesty, Ouyang Tian has left. Not only that, most of the Ouyang family's personnel in Xiangcheng have been evacuated. In the past month or so, we have completely let go and gained a lot!"
Cheng Ling was startled, and a thought flashed through his mind. He intuitively felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't put it into words. He asked: "What? Ouyang Tian gave up the idea of conquering the Zhou family?"
"I don't know either. Just a month ago, I was bargaining with Elder Ouyang according to your Majesty's instructions. I felt that he was getting more and more impatient and wanted to go to seek your Majesty's advice. But suddenly, he left."
"Did he say anything before leaving?"
Zhou Changtian wondered, wouldn't it be better if Ouyang Tian left, at least no one would put pressure on him all day long. Cheng Ling was often away from Wuxiang Valley, and he didn't dare to offend easily. He could only stay with him, say good things, and act like a grandson in front of others.
Cheng Ling knew what he was thinking when he saw his expression. He looked solemn and said, "Think carefully about what he said before leaving. This is very important."
Zhou Changtian suddenly became nervous and carefully recalled the situation that day. After a long time, he said: "It's nothing. I only heard that he seemed to be going to the Duanmu Family and the East China Sea Dragon Palace, and nothing else."
Cheng Ling's eyes lit up, and he finally understood the mentality of the Ouyang family. A cold sweat broke out on my back, I was still careless! He was stirring up trouble in the south, completely ignoring the Duanmu Family and the East China Sea Dragon Palace.
From the previous trip to the Alchemy King Valley, there was also the siege of the Wuxiang Sword Sect. The Duanmu family and the Donghai Dragon Palace have always been wearing the same pants as the Ouyang family. There must be an unusual relationship between the three, and they may even be allies!
He and others used tricks to kill 30,000 Ouyang family members to support the monks, and also annihilated four major families and three major sects. The most fundamental interests of the Ouyang family have been touched, and with the Feng Yan sect on the side, in order to prevent the southern forces from being invaded by the Feng Yan sect, they will definitely contact the Duanmu family and the East China Sea Dragon Palace for help!
With the intervention of these two major forces, some of the advantages that our side had finally gained were suddenly gone!
