Xue Tong pondered.
He is not brave enough to break into the dwarf tribe alone. If the Haoshan tribe sets up an ambush and surrounds him with a magic circle, he will be doomed.
Xue Tong declined and said: "The Haoshan clan is looking for Xue. You might as well let fellow Taoist Su take the lead, and the clan won't go."
The cave he lives in is specially prepared for guests. There are monks from other places nearby, so it is impossible for the Haoshan clan to attack him in a large scale.
He spent a lot of money in Haoshan, and his magic weapons were so dazzling that he had to guard against them.
Su Lie noticed Xue Tong's concerns and said with a smile: "What the Taoist said is that you will come back after I report."
Xue Tong waited for half an hour, and Su Lie accompanied the clan leader Mou Du to the door.
After exchanging a few polite words, Mou Du said: "The Taoist Master's cultivation is beyond the Nightmare Forest, which is admirable. The Haoshan tribe wants to make friends with the Taoist Master. In addition to urging him to use the quenching weapon, he also wants to send a black gold iron plate as a tribute to the tribe's warriors. Token.”
"I don't deserve to be rewarded for nothing. Xue never holds the title of sect Xuanmen. Haoshan Department has good intentions, so I won't accept the Mo gold medal. Please forgive me, head of the clan."
Xue Tong is indeed not interested. There is not much benefit in being a warrior, but trouble may come.
"The Mo gold medal has not been issued for a hundred years. Holding the medal is like a master of the department. There are many benefits. Taoist master, don't refuse in a hurry." Su Lie said helpfully.
"Xue is a warrior, so he must do something for the Haoshan clan."
"At least there is nothing in front of us, and we won't be busy handing out ink gold medals just to ask for help from the Taoist priest." Moudu said.
It's hard to refuse hospitality, and it's hard not to give face.
"Thanks to the great love from the Haoshan Department, Xue is disrespectful and I feel ashamed to accept it." Xue Tong had no choice but to accept the gold medal.
The card is engraved with the ax and sword emblem and Xue Tong's name.
"Is there any news about new heavenly beings in the Western Region recently?"
Xue Tong inquired about his concerns.
"Five years ago, the Blood-Slaying Lion King of the Dwarf Red Clan Tribe was promoted to Heavenly Man. I haven't heard of anything else," Moudu said.
"Why does the Blood Lion King sound like a demon?"
"Xuitu has a violent personality, killing people like hemp, an authentic dwarf, and his roar is like a possessed lion."
"Can the dwarves tolerate such evil people?" Xue Tong asked.
Moudu smiled bitterly, "Xuetu has a bad reputation, but he only causes chaos in Chixiang and implements cruel rule. Xuetu once fought fiercely with heaven and humans, but he was not seriously injured. After escaping, other clans stopped chasing him and let him go."
"The bloody massacre has made a comeback, won't it turn the world upside down?"
"At least the heavenly beings who were at odds with us back then are in big trouble," Xue Tong said.
"The heavenly being who once tried to destroy Xue Tu was Holy King Bo Shi of the Xiao Lin Tribe."
"During the decades since Xue Tu disappeared, Bo Shi united with Hanshui and Jitu to take adequate precautions. If Xue Tu causes trouble, all three will take action at the same time."
"The dwarf names of Saint King Boshi are all very weird."
"The dwarves call Tianren the king. Bo Shi made his debut with a big stone hammer in his early years, so he is called this."
Xue Tong checked the map, "Disputes may break out at any time, so we have to go around the Red Concubine."
"Well, Akatsuki is far away, so just don't provoke him."
The Haoshan tribe's wooing of Xue Tong was not unrelated to the hidden dangers of Chi Xiang. Moudu was prepared for a rainy day, building a relationship first, and then dispatching Xue Tong when there was a big chaos.
"Wherever the Taoist master is going, why not stay in Tiechun City and wait for Chanchong to finish tempering the three swords." Moudu said.
Xue Tong's consciousness flashed several thoughts, there was no need for him to get involved in the dwarf disputes, he just waited for the Nine Swords to suit his purpose.
"Well, Xue lives in Tiechun."
"Tie Chun's three sects and nine streams gather together. Our department has a manor in the east of the city. If the Taoist priest doesn't mind it, he can live there."
"Xue should rent the human compound, and the clan leader can send someone to take care of it."
"good!"
Moudu knew that Xue Tong was extremely wary and didn't talk much.
…
Xue Tong rented a yard, practiced exercises and trained spiritual pets every day, and rarely interfered with outside affairs.
A year has passed in the blink of an eye.
Su Lie sent the first earth-level sword.
"The situation is not good. Xiaolin, Hanshui, and Jitu are recruiting troops and preparing to take action." Su Lie said.
"The fight is about to begin," Xue Tong asked.
"The war seems inevitable. Chihuan has introduced a large number of warriors from the Hairy Tribe, and it is only a matter of time before the invasion of Xiaolin."
Xue Tong's face was filled with clouds, "Ji Tu Weapon Master is refining Xue's six swords..."
"It's going to be delayed after all. It's important to prepare for war." Su Lie said.
"Asshole! Xue is trying to refine the magic weapon, but it's not going well!"
"The Taoist priest also entrusted others with it"
"It's a long story. There's no need to mention old things. Fellow Daoist Su can help me give me some advice." Xue Tong didn't want to refine the secret technique of water.
"Why don't you join the reinforcements and go to Thornland to ask the weapon master to quickly temper the treasure!"
"Go directly to Silverstone Castle of Thornland Tribe"
Su Lie smiled strangely and said, "Join the Haoshan reinforcements and go to Silverstone Castle together."
Xue Tong had an epiphany, "Clan Chief Mou had foresight and had anticipated that the situation would get out of control, and intended to keep Xue."
"Haoshan is not playing the Taoist priest's idea," Su Lie explained.
"It's God's will that fate plays tricks on people. Xue has no intention of complaining about you."
Xue Tong was eventually involved in a dispute among the dwarves because of his tempering of weapons.
He asked about the situation in the Western Region in more detail.
The three most powerful tribes in the Western Region: the human race, the dwarf race, and the hairy race.
Of the six dwarf tribes, Haoshan and Weiyun are the weakest; Jitu and Chicong are the strongest.
No one in the dwarf tribe could suppress the blood slaughter, so they could only win with more. Except for the Weiyun tribe, which stayed out of trouble, the other five tribes were involved.
The reason why Chihuan was able to win over a large number of hairy tribes is unknown. The most likely reason is that Xuetu promised to divide the territory and share the profits.
There is no conclusion as to whether there is a leader-level figure behind the large number of hairy monks.
The human race is happy to see disputes. Except for a small number of high-level casual cultivators recruited with heavy sums of money, no sects participate.
"There is no room for negotiation between the two sides," Xue Tong asked.
"Xuitu always kills if he wins, and runs if he doesn't. If we really want to negotiate, the conditions will be too harsh to accept." Su Lie said.
"When the war breaks out, all life will be ruined." Xue Tong sighed.
"The dwarves are not afraid of bloody battles. They fight when they have to. They just want to take advantage of the chaos. The Taoist priest is also such a person." Su Lie said.
He had asked Zhu Wantong to find out a lot of news about Xue Tong.
"Xue originally just wanted to temper the weapon, but he couldn't help himself."
…
The Haoshan tribe formed three groups, Su Lie, Xue Tong, and Zhu Wantong were in the Jitu group.
There are six masters of the Jitu group, two innate high-level coordinators, and the deputy leader of the tribe, Teng Sui, leads the team.
Zhu Wantong has a close friendship with Su Lie and wants to try his luck. He joins the team after hearing that Xue Tong has joined.
…
Head all the way northwest.
Arrive at Silverstone Castle ten days later.
The mountains are towering and the stone fortress is majestic.
The eight people transferred to the duck boat at the foot of the mountain and landed in the Silverstone Apse Square.
There are more than ten monks in the back hall.
Ran Quai, the deputy leader of Jitu, said: "These are the monks from the Central Region who came yesterday. I heard that the evil dwarves are causing trouble and are willing to help us."
There are six monks in the Huanchen Central Region, and the leader is Ma Lang, the pinnacle of masters.
"I would like to discuss with your two teams which areas each should help defend." Ran Quai pointed to two areas on the map.
"I can go anywhere, please choose Haoshan first." Ma Lang said, sizing up Xue Tong.
Looking straight into the eyes is very disrespectful.
"The monks in the Central Realm can't figure out the situation," Xue Tong muttered in his heart, too lazy to care.
Teng Sui chose the Heze Mountain area.
"Well, I have gone to help with defense and patrol the border. There has been no war yet, but Chicong's temptations are increasing. It has happened that the master has crossed the border and returned soon." Ran Quai said.
After talking for a while, Xue Tong suddenly said: "Deputy Chief Ran, Xue asked your weapon master to temper the sword. I don't know how it went. Have the two swords been tempered?"
Ran Quai showed a strange expression, "The situation is tense. The weapon master of our department has time to temper swords for foreigners. Yi Xiao and Bi Jinfu are already very busy."
"Xue joined the Thorny Earth Tribe because of this. We share the same enemy and hope to get the tempered sword as soon as possible so that we can better contribute to your tribe."
"Fellow Taoist matters can only be arranged at the back. Due to special circumstances, people from our department will be given priority. Fellow Taoist, please forgive me."
Ran Quai's attitude and tone were quite correct, and what he said was not unreasonable.
"Xue wants to see the clan leader or fellow Taoist Yixiao."
Xue Tong wanted to talk to someone else.
Ma Lang and others all had expressions of disbelief, feeling that Xue Tong was being disrespectful if he did not give face to the deputy leader of the tribe.
"I've said this, but it doesn't matter," Ran Quai said displeased.
Su Lie sent a message: "Master Taoist, please don't argue. We'll wait until Deputy Clan Teng pays a visit to the boss of the Jitu tribe."
Xue Tong listened to the advice and suppressed his anger.
That night, during a short break at Silverstone Castle, Teng Sui paid a visit to Luan Zong, the leader of Jitu.
…
"I have informed Patriarch Luan of Taoist Priest's bravery, saying that Taoist Priest Xue is capable of capturing heavenly beings and is an effective figure in dealing with the Blood Slaughter. I hope that the Jitu Tribe will temper the weapon as soon as possible, and I would rather stop the tempering of the Grandmaster of this tribe first."
"Clan Chief Luan was worried that his work would be in vain, so he took the magic weapon and left." Teng Sui said.
"What should we do, Soul Oath?" Xue Tong frowned.
"Luan Zong suggested that Taoist Priest go to Chicon, take the head of Grandmaster Chicon, and bring it back to Silverstone Castle. Only after handing in the certificate of surrender, Jitu will seize the quenching weapon."
"Xue will go now"
"Taoist Master, please be patient for a while and then take action after the war begins." Teng Sui said.
The next day, eight people from Haoshan set off.
…
Herze.
The swampy mountains on the border between Thornland and Akatsuki.
The hills are mostly soaked in swamps and mud. Nearly a thousand people from the Jitu tribe dug holes in hundreds of hills and built important strongholds in the northwest.
Heze is two hundred miles away from Chicong, and Jitu sends people to patrol every day to observe the movement.
Xue Tong was unhappy and refused to go out. He only stayed in the camp and practiced the scriptures.
After three months.
News of a small-scale conflict between Akakong and Xiaolin came.
Xue Tong crossed the border overnight and disappeared.
…
Xue Tong went two thousand miles deep, bypassing the camp of the Hairy tribe, and set fire to the houses of the Dwarf tribe.
Soon a large number of high-level monks were attracted.
The leader of the stronghold, Grandmaster Dingfeng, led his men in pursuit.
"I have to sacrifice a few of you, so you are in bad luck!"
Xue Tong suddenly turned around while escaping.
Chase the nearest wave of three.
The black light spear of the leader of the stronghold shot out like lightning.
The earth-level magic weapons of the two people on the left and right were only a few feet behind.
The three of them combined were only at the black level, and Xue Tong had risen from the late stage to the top within decades.
The force is much stronger than before!
The dark clouds bombarded and suddenly swelled, pressing like a mountain.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
The black spear bounced away, and the dwarf leader felt a huge force hit his chest.
The three figures flew upside down and sprayed blood in mid-air.
Xue Tongjuan grabbed the leader's body and stuffed it into his pouch.
When the second wave of dwarf monks saw this terrifying scene, they screamed and fled in all directions.
