The Zhao family is adjacent to the Wang family in Fufeng and the Li family in Tianshui to the west.
The main battlefields with the Wang family are mainly four main areas.
Among them, the southern Xuanjing City area has been temporarily pacified. Generally speaking, there will not be any big problems in the short term.
The other three major regions are mainly in the west and southwest.
The Wang family has basically never stopped encroaching on the Zhao family, and the two sides have been competing.
It's not a very direct war, but it's a fight overtly and covertly. The two sides compete for the city and change the territory map.
But overall, it was Zhao who lost in this struggle.
In the past twenty years, the Zhao family's western region has been encroached on thousands of miles of territory, and the Zhao family's regional dominance is declining sharply.
The contest between the two sides has never stopped.
The strategy pursued by the Wang family was to capture the Zhao family at the minimum cost.
Therefore, encroachment in some regions is more often carried out by instigating rebellion.
Regarding the forces in the Zhao family's territory, Xiaozhi used emotion and reason to annex them bit by bit.
If they really encounter that kind of hard trouble, they will be wiped out while fighting against the Zhao family.
So in the past twenty years, the Zhao family and the Wang family have basically been on the same page.
If you can kill, you will never let go!
This time, Bai Ning and his team's goal was to the southwest of the border between the Zhao family and the Wang family.
Around a heavy city.
This city is called Gujing City!
It is a very important city within the Zhao family.
Before the Wang family encroached on its territory, it was still deep in the hinterland, but now it can only be regarded as a border city.
Gujing City, a core city on the southwest frontier, is rich in various elixirs and is known as the Medicine Capital of the Zhao family.
It’s not that there are many medicinal gardens within the territory of Ancient Realm City, but within the territory of Ancient Realm City.
There is an open secret cave! It's called Spiritual Medicine Cave Heaven.
The spiritual energy in the elixir cave is at least three times more intense than in the outside world.
Moreover, the water and soil in it are fertile and unique, making it a perfect choice for cultivating elixirs.
Therefore, after the cave was completely controlled by the Zhao family, and the treasures in it were plundered, it was used by the Zhao family to cultivate elixirs, precious medicines, etc.
It is a huge property of the Zhao family.
Cultivation is prohibited in it, and only low-level martial arts cultivators who cultivate elixirs can stay in it for a long time.
It is absolutely forbidden to practice in the Xiantian realm.
Of course, there may be exceptions.
The elixir cave is so important, so when the Wang family annexed the Zhao family's territory, they regarded the elixir cave as a treasure.
Now he is trying his best to capture the elixir cave, but Zhao's defense in Ancient City is also extremely tight.
I have been at odds with the Wang family all the time, and the elixir cave must not fall into the hands of the Wang family!
In the stalemate, the Wang family could only change their strategy and choose to start with some small forces around the ancient city. The second-level forces and the third-level forces all began to encroach.
So now, there are quite a lot of riots among the small second-level forces and the third-level forces around the ancient city.
Everyone obviously started to dance very happily, and there were obvious delays and deductions in some of the materials that were handed over.
Zhao was also quite annoyed. Although he took action to rectify some small forces, it was like poking a hornet's nest and aroused the anger of those guys.
Behind the scenes, many rebellious remarks are becoming more and more intense.
They all want to join the Wang family.
In the area controlled by this kind of clan, there is still a big difference from the first-level forces of the sect type.
A clan is like a dynasty with a territory, and small forces are vassals. Those small forces that control core resources must pay enough 'tributes'. This is the Zhao family's rule. They do not collect completely, but they must take a large share. .
Otherwise, take it all back.
Therefore, as the matter fermented, Wang was also involved in the confusion, and the conditions offered were very tempting, leading to more and more riots, just waiting for the last one to rise up and take down the ancient city.
Zhao was naturally aware of this situation, so he wanted to suppress it very early.
Now Bai Ning has formed the Changning Army to suppress these riots.
But now there is a very bad situation.
After Bai Ning and the others won the battle in Xuanjing City and captured Wang Pingce, the Wang family's progress accelerated significantly and they began to urge some forces to surrender.
Those who do not surrender will be slaughtered after the Wang family breaks through the ancient city!
Therefore, the riots are becoming more and more obvious, and the Zhao family's power in Gujing City is somewhat difficult to control.
To the east of Ancient City, on the top of a high mountain, Bai Ning and others landed.
From a long distance away, one can still see the faint trace of the ancient city on the west side of the mountain.
Bai Ning stood on the top of the mountain and looked into the distance.
More than twenty people stopped behind him. Beside him were Zhao Jian and others, as well as a young strong man from the Great Ancestor's lineage named Zhao Xuanfeng.
Zhao Xuanfeng is the leader of their lineage.
Zhao Xuanfeng was reporting on the situation around Gujing City.
"Commander, we don't need to control the current situation in Ancient Realm City for the time being. There are three places where we have to suppress them first. There have been obvious riots. I, the Zhao family, are tired of dealing with them now, so I don't care about them for the time being."
"The places we need to solve first this time are the Black Triangle in the south of Ancient City, Liuyang City in the north, and Wugui City in the east."
"Wang obviously wants to encircle Gujing City, and then capture Gujing City in one fell swoop."
Hearing this, Bai Ning nodded slightly.
"Zhao Jian." Bai Ning said calmly.
Zhao Jian raised his eyes and glanced at Bai Ning. Although he was unwilling to listen to Bai Ning's command, there was nothing he could do now.
"Zhao Jian is here." Zhao Jian spoke calmly, as if he was listless.
Zhao Xuanfeng shouted softly: "Zhao Jian, what do you mean? Do you think it's fun to feel weak at this time?"
Zhao Jian glanced at Zhao Xuanfeng and said nothing.
Bai Ning just raised his hand, stopped Zhao Xuanfeng's words, and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, I know you still don't obey me now, it's not a big problem."
"So I will give you the initiative. Our team this time will be divided into three teams. My team will consist of seven people, and each of your teams will have twelve people. We will divide our troops into three groups and each will go to suppress one area. "
"I'll let you choose first. It's up to you to choose where to suppress."
Hearing this, Zhao Xuanfeng, Zhao Jian and others stared slightly.
Zhao Xuanfeng hesitated and said: "Commander, I'm afraid this is not good. In the three places, although there are some third-level unconventional forces, there are actually innate realms who are secretly in charge, and there must be Wang's innate realm! "
"It's actually very disadvantageous for us to be separated like this."
Bai Ning waved his hand and said: "Don't be too nervous about this. Even if there are Wang's Xiantian realm present, they should only be in the early stage of the Xiantian realm, and there will definitely not be more than two people."
"As for the local Xiantian realm experts, do they still dare to take action against you?"
"When you come to suppress this time, don't think about Xiaozhi being moved by emotion. At this time, all your negotiations will only make them think that Zhao is afraid."
"Therefore, this suppression must be suppressed with iron-blooded methods. There will be no mercy at all!"
As soon as these words came out, several people were shocked. Is it possible to say such words?
Even if it is a third-level unconventional force, the cumulative number of those who have returned to the True Realm is still a terrifying number, and in these three places, there will definitely be at least one local Xiantian Realm powerhouse.
With their small number of people, they still want to use force to suppress them?
Zhao Jian's eyebrows became solemn: "Do you know what you are talking about? Take the Black Triangle as an example. It is located at the junction of Ancient Realm City and the other two major regions. It belongs to a no-nonsense area. It’s a mixed bag.”
"Just saying that there are countless powerful people who have achieved perfection in the Guizhen Realm and dominate one side. Are you going to suppress them just by raising your hand to suppress them?"
"And there is a secret king in the Black Triangle, who is at least in the middle stage of the Xiantian Realm. In the Black Triangle, he is basically the same."
"Since the Wang family can persuade him, it is enough to prove that the current Black Triangle has secretly taken refuge in the Wang family. Can we completely suppress it with just a few people like us?"
"The purpose of our trip is to stabilize it. If we can suppress it, we will suppress it. If we cannot suppress it, we will notify the clan and send forces to suppress it again."
"Will you be the leader?"
Hearing this, Bai Ning sneered: "So, you are still very afraid of the black triangle. Well, leave the black triangle to me. You can choose one of the other two and the remaining one. , how about Zhao Xuanfeng leading people to suppress it?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Jian's face darkened.
The other two places, one is Liuyang City and the other is Wugui City, which one is easier to deal with?
But looking at Bai Ning's confident look, Zhao Jian was furious.
He snorted coldly: "Okay! I'm going to the Eastern Fog Ghost City. I want to see how long it will take you to capture the Black Triangle!"
Bai Ning smiled and nodded: "Okay, then you can choose someone. The two veins must be mixed in half."
Hearing this, Zhao Jian didn't say much.
He brought Zhao Kang and Zhao Ping with him, and then selected six people from the Great Ancestor's lineage.
Bai Ning warned: "If there is a problem, you must report it as soon as possible. If your compatriots are injured because of your anger, then I will deal with it according to the rules of the clan!"
Zhao Jian snorted coldly and left directly with the people.
Seeing Zhao Jian leaving like this, Zhao Xuanfeng was slightly angry.
"Commander, if you don't take good care of him at this time, it will be difficult to control him later."
Bai Ning smiled and waved his hand: "Don't worry, I have my own plans in mind."
Then Bai Ning said: "Okay, you take the most elite people away and go to Liuyang City immediately. I only need to leave one lineage and three people here."
Zhao Xuanfeng hesitated and said: "Commander, isn't this good? The Black Triangle is much more troublesome than Liuyang City. If you only bring this few people, I'm afraid it's a bit too few."
Bai Ning just shook his head: "It doesn't matter. Bringing too many people is actually just a burden for me."
"You just need to remember that after heading to Liuyang City in the north, you must first investigate the situation clearly. It will only take me two days to deal with the Black Triangle. If you cannot suppress it or encounter obstacles in the innate realm, remember Stay away for now and send me a message in time, I will arrive as soon as possible."
After hearing these explanations, Zhao Xuanfeng no longer insisted and could only nod. They had seen Bai Ning's strength.
His strength has even been recognized by the elders of the Xuanfeng clan. In fact, what they should worry about most is themselves.
Zhao Xuanfeng then took away eleven people and rushed directly towards Liuyang City in the north.
After they left, Bai Ning was left with only six children of the Zhao family who were not very famous.
Bai Ning still looked at the ancient city in the distance and did not move for the time being.
"Commander, when will we leave?" A young man stepped forward.
This person is also from the Great Ancestor's lineage. His name is Zhao Qi. He has perfected his cultivation in the Guizhen Realm. Their lineage is still very convinced of Bai Ning.
The corners of Bai Ning's lips raised slightly: "Let's go! Let's go now!"
Then, with everyone's shocked eyes, Bai Ning activated the teleportation array and engulfed them.
Only then did they realize that their leader was actually a formation master!
