Seasons pass by, and years pass by.
Fifty years later, a clear roar from the ground broke the tranquility of dawn. Xue Tong strode out of the palace. He was already in the middle stage of the Martial Saint!
His ability in elixirs is unique in Manzhou. With the help of magical elixirs and innate magical powers, Xue Tong was successfully promoted in just over a hundred years.
But ordinary people often need two to five hundred years of effort.
Tiansha Palace.
Jiuyan high-level officials gathered together.
The second deputy leader, the three guardians of the Four Heavenly Kings, and the sixth elder.
Xue Tong has been in seclusion for eighteen years. There are no particularly important matters. The academic affairs are held by Li Wanlong, Ao Shuo and the Four Heavenly Kings.
Jiuyan's academic affairs were in good order. Xue Tongsha was satisfied and thought: "Xue will leave for a long time in a few years. It seems that Li Wanlong and others can take on big responsibilities."
The so-called running away refers to the teleportation between the two continents of Mangmu, which will start again within ten years, and Xue Tong needs to return to Xiashan.
"I plan to travel around. When I am not at Tiansha Peak, you will take turns. Jiuyan's overall strategy is to combine hardness and softness, expand moderately, and stick to the alliance with the demon clan."
"If you stick to this strategy, there will be no big trouble," Xue Tong said.
Li Wanlong and others had already surrendered and had no objections.
…
Yongjincheng.
Fei Ran and Wang Huaji have achieved great success. Xue Tong arranged for the main instrument to be made of earth and quenching masters, and it has been made into the third grade.
Wang Huaji took up the post of Jiuyanjiao and was able to handle affairs efficiently. He was responsible for the daily management of the division of rudders.
Fei Ran is Xue Tong's old friend for thousands of years. Who in the Jiuyan Sect would dare not give him face?
But Wang Huaji had a good sense of proportion, and Xue Tong never heard any gossip about Fei Ran and Wang Huaji.
Xue Tong visited and made acquaintances, reminisced with Wu Sheng Gu Jiazhen and others, and politely asked for more care and convenience.
Then he left the city and disappeared without a trace.
…
In the past five years, Xue Tong traveled across the mountains and rivers of Manzhou, collecting resources and hunting monsters.
The bone puppet, eagle, and celestial being are at their peak, and the white tiger and violent ape are at their peak.
He only needs to release four pets to drive animals over a large area of mountains and forests, and he can quickly find out.
Xue Tong only killed monsters above heaven and humans, and killed hundreds of monsters in five years. The collection of flowers, plants, and spiritual objects also filled his storage bag.
Xue Tong estimated the time and waited in the extreme south of Manzhou.
The teleportation stone tablet buried in the wasteland gave off the first glimmer of light.
Xue Tong returned to Tiansha Peak and gathered everyone.
Talking about the ins and outs of teleportation.
"The teleportation stele has been activated by absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for hundreds of years. We only need to control the stele in two places and input mana when used. Then it can be used for a long time. From now on, the two continents of Mangmu will be connected directly. There is no need to detour more than three million miles and cross several continents."
"Oh, there is such a thing!" Everyone was surprised.
"The teleportation concerns the whole continent and must be firmly controlled by the Jiuyan Demon Clan Alliance. Pay-per-use fees will be charged. Appropriate discounts will be given to the Wan Sheng Sect and Yun Hao Clan." Xue Tong added.
"Has the leader considered completely destroying the teleportation? The Jiuyan Demon Clan Alliance is at the top of Manzhou. If a large number of Muzhou people come over, will it break the current good situation?" Ao Shuo said.
"I came from Muzhou. There are advantages and disadvantages to teleportation. Control it first and then destroy it as a last resort." Xue Tong said.
He took two Martial Saint-level elders and several celestial beings to the Demon Clan to summon people, and then headed south.
In the teleportation monument area, build a castle and build defenses.
"Muzhou is the key. I will go first, and you will follow!"
The teleportation formation was formed, and Xue Tong entered the formation first.
…
Muzhou and Wangpo Village.
The moment Xue Tong came out of the formation, Chijinmu saw the square was empty, with dozens of monks sitting around the outer circle.
There were bursts of exclamations.
"The state of mind of these people is similar to that of Xue back then. They were worried about gains and losses. They wanted to transmit but did not dare to transmit."
"Wangpo Village has been moved, but the secret of teleportation has been secretly spread for hundreds of years."
"There are too many villagers who know the secret, so they can exchange it for money."
Xue Tong's consciousness flashed several thoughts, and he clasped his fists and said: "The transmission between the two continents of Mangmu is smooth, and you can come and go freely. You don't have to worry."
Xue Tong released his spiritual pressure outwards, penetrating Guiyin's shirt and spreading out in billows. The cultivators from the Jiuyan Demon Alliance kept pouring out from behind him. The lineup was huge, surpassing that of the Muzhou cultivators present.
Xue Tong's Ghost Hidden Shirt has been tempered to the third level. It lowers the spiritual pressure by two levels at normal times. Only when it is released accidentally can the true cultivation level be revealed.
"I would like to ask fellow Taoist, how is the situation over there in Mangzhou?" Muzhou Wu Sheng asked politely.
"The situation is okay, there is no fighting or ethnic killings."
"The Mangzhou Xuanmen and even the casual cultivators won't be very violent, right?"
"It's not violent, but it's not a harmonious one either. It's similar to Muzhou. The teleportation on the other side of Mangzhou is also under the control of this alliance. As long as everyone can travel peacefully, safety will not be a problem." Xue Tong said.
A small number of Muzhou people immediately wanted to teleport.
"When the spiritual power of the stone tablet disappears, the alliance will maintain it manually, and the transmission will be charged on a per-time basis." Xue Tong added.
The people of Muzhou had neither the intention nor the strength to oppose. Except for a few who hesitated to leave, the rest all went to Manzhou.
The Jiuyan Demon League carried out extensive construction work in Wangpo Village and built a strong castle.
After one month, use the magic circle to protect the teleportation monument and maintain its active state.
The stationed Martial Saint Elder Liao Yi and the high-ranking Ten Heavenly People of the Jiuyan Demon Alliance.
Xue Tong's plan was to rotate for three years, and 80% of the teleportation fees would go to the monks guarding the formation.
"Wangpo Fort and Wangpo Town were built because of the port, and Wangpo was built as a town because of the transmission."
“Opening a spiritual goods shop to attract people and develop businesses and towns does not happen overnight, but if we continue to work for a long time, the prospects are promising.”
"If you encounter a strong evil cultivator, just let him go. Preservation of life is the first priority, and the teleportation formation is second. Killing people and destroying the formation is of no benefit at all. I didn't expect someone to be so evil."
Xue Tong made another explanation and arrangement.
"That's what the leader said!" Elder Liao Yi said.
Liao Yi was recommended by King Gunlu, and Xue Tong felt that he was an upright person who would not offend anyone. He did not fall in love with Li Wanlong and Jin Xin, but also kept a distance from Ao Shuo and King Yingshan. He was worthy of the heavy responsibility.
Xue Tong stayed for half a year until Wangpo Fort was completed and the prototype of a small town was built around it.
During this period, no high-level officials from Muzhou arrived, and only a dozen masters and innates paid a fee to go to Manzhou.
…
Xue Tong left in a hurry.
In order to avoid the Luzhou Monster Clan, he fled from the Xiashan Sect for more than two hundred years, and now he no longer needs to hide.
"I wonder what happened to Qingdan and Xiashan Sect?" Xue Tong was so worried that he flew straight on the eagle.
In just four days, the Cambrian Mountains are in sight.
Xue Tong noticed that the small town on the edge of the mountain area was different from what it used to be. It had become significantly deserted.
His heart sank, "There is a place not far from the sect, and the prosperity and decline follow the sect. So, Xiashan Sect has declined."
"Find out the situation before returning to the clan!"
Xue Tong went into the town, asked around, and got an outline.
"Two hundred years ago, the Xilu Monster Tribe came to Xia Mountain, and it was said that they were looking for the deputy sect leader Xue Tong."
"Xue Tong's whereabouts are unknown. The demon clan has been searching for it for decades without success, and gradually lost interest. During this period, they searched Donglu to test the human race's tolerance for him."
"The human race is extremely repulsive, but they have no intention of annihilating the demon race by force."
"The demon clan used the excuse that Xue Tong had killed people in Donglu, encroached on the Xiashan Sect's territory, and caused trouble in the Cambrian Mountains from time to time. Sect Master Hou endured the humiliation and asked for mercy. Unless something is particularly egregious, he tried his best to minimize the big issue and prevent fierce conflicts."
"The Xiashan Sect is inevitably declining, and more and more people are leaving the Cambrian Mountains and going to the interior."
"The traffic and traffic in this town no longer exist, and we can only barely maintain it." said the monk in the town.
"The demon clan is encroaching on the territory and causing trouble in the mountains? They sent people here?" Xue Tong.
"I heard that the Xiashan Sect was angry when they built a village in the mountains and hunted wildly. They dared not speak out and stayed away from them," the monk said.
"Where is the village? I'm a newbie here, and I don't want to meet a monster clan that I can't afford to offend." Xue Tong asked.
"The northeastern part of the mountain area is close to Keshan Mountain in Donglu."
Xue Tong seemed calm, but the anger in his chest almost burst out of his throat.
…
It’s noon in Keshan.
The giant tiger walked on the ice, snow and mud, alarming the small village of hundreds of people from the demon clan.
The demon on duty wanted to find out, but a piece of Wing Fire Sword as thin as a cicada's wing had cut off his head.
Xue Tong led his four pets into the demon village. The ghosts cried and wolves howled, and they were all slaughtered in an instant. Only the demon man with quick hands and feet let go of the messenger Falcon.
No one knows what happened in Keshan Demon Village. The Donglu Demon Clan only saw the letter falcon but no note.
It was as if he was in a critical situation and had no time to elaborate, so he reported the news in a hurry.
After waiting for two days, there was no follow-up news. After confirming that the situation was not good, a team of people from the Yao clan went straight to Keshan and sent another person to deliver a message to Xiashan.
The leader of Keshan Village is the leader of Tianren Peak. The Cambrian Mountains are no longer weak. There are no human beings within a radius of 3,000 miles. The cultivators from further away also take a detour at the first sight. How dare they offend him.
Now there are signs that the whole village is destroyed?
The Demon Clan Martial Saint Feng Ya led the team and approached Keshan Mountain at night.
In the center of Keshan Village, a solitary stone lamp shines on the towering flagpole.
It dimly illuminates the toppled and broken wooden house, and the debris on the ground.
Feng Ya frowned, and suddenly heard a soft whistle in the distance, and arrived in front of him in the blink of an eye.
The pale golden iron arrow, which is as thick as a human arm, moves extremely fast and has no time to dodge.
Fengya waved his hand, and with a heavy sword, he struck the diamond iron arrow with thunderous force.
Sparks shot out.
The diamond arrow had almost no deceleration or change of direction, and directly pierced Fengya's chest!
The Fengya Martial Saint was a first-class being of the Donglu Monster Clan. After experiencing thousands of fierce battles, he was killed by an arrow from afar. The remaining monsters were terrified and fled in all directions.
But behind him, he saw three evil pythons breathing black breath from their mouths, a bone puppet holding a knife, and a white tiger waving its claws; the giant vulture above its head sprayed thunder, and the phantom of the dark soul beast floated; what was even more terrible was the invisible figure, the fist that was swinging during the pause. Wherever it reaches the awn, flesh and blood fly everywhere.
Xue Tong killed thirty more demons, and the suffocation in his chest that was as heavy as a boulder finally eased.
…
Xia Shan.
The letter from the demon clan has been delivered to Hou Qingdan.
"Something serious may have happened in Keshan Village. The demon clan has requested an investigation, and there is a strong tendency to launch an army to investigate the crime." Hou Qingdan frowned and handed the letter to Chang Zhiqian.
"Is it possible that someone framed him and tried to completely intensify the conflict?" Chang Zhiqian, a Martial Saint in his early days, said worriedly.
"Take Zhuge Jing and Yan Sihai to Keishan. If the situation is not settled, I am prepared to disband the Xiashan Sect and go their separate ways." Hou Qingdan struggled to hold on, his mental strength was haggard, and he began to think of quitting.
"Secretary, please be safe. Chang will make arrangements soon." As Chang Zhiqian spoke, the jade medal on Hou Qingdan's waist shook slightly.
Hou Qingdan glanced at the information on the card and paused.
"What's wrong?" Chang Zhiqian asked in surprise.
Hou Qingdan was silent for a long time and sat slumped in his chair.
Finally he said: "Xue...Tong...is back!"
Hou Qingdan sobbed uncontrollably, leaving Chang Zhiqian at a loss as to what to do.
…
With a flying sword strike outside the palace, Xue Tong killed the demon messenger and pushed open the palace door.
