"Iron Sword Sect has always been a vassal of the Liuyang Sect. If we destroy this sect without permission this time, will it cause the Liuyang Sect to be dissatisfied?"
At this time, Yan Wangqiu showed a trace of worry on his face and said worriedly: "Now we are waiting for a big event. If the Liuyang Sect is provoked and pushed to the court, it may not be conducive to our success."
In fact, Yan Wangqiu had some opinions on the Liuyang Sect.
After all, when Yin Huixuan went south and swept through the invincible opponents in Lingnan, it could be said to have severely damaged the reputation of the Nanhai Sect.
At that time, in order to avoid Yin Huixuan's sharp attack, Yan Wangqiu even had to go out to avoid the battle, which was a great loss of face.
Therefore, if the Liuyang Sect can be attacked, Sect Master Yan would be very happy to see it.
But it’s still the same sentence.
He not only wanted to see the Liuyang Sect in trouble, but he was also afraid that the Liuyang Sect would come to cause trouble. Under this timidity, he was still a little hesitant at this time and did not dare to get involved.
Lu Yuan glanced at this ally who was getting more and more fearful as he got older, and said with a calm expression: "This time we will act with utmost care. Destroy the Iron Sword Sect with one strike of thunder. This matter can be resolved in two or three days.
When the Iron Sword Sect's Ju Sect is destroyed, even if the news spreads, how will the Liuyang Sect know who did it?
I'm afraid it won't be a few months until they find out.
Moreover, Dan Ding Dao was also involved this time.
For any family like me, the Liuyang Sect is really not easy to mess with. But to Danding Dao, what does the Liuyang Sect mean?
I'm afraid that after Yin Huixuan discovered that the murderer was a member of Dan Ding Dao, he would be too scared to pursue the investigation any further.
Even taking a step back.
Even if he really finds out about us, so what?
We have four innate masters, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, with such strength, how dare a mere Liuyang Sect really dare to embarrass us? "
Lu Yuan had thought carefully about annihilating the Iron Sword Sect.
Although the Liuyang Sect is a bit of a threat, it is really not a big threat, at least not as good as the Danding Dao.
Now that he has even deceived Alchemy Dao and already has debts on his body, is he still afraid of a Liuyang Sect?
And for the Liuyang Sect, is a mere Iron Sword Sect really worth taking such a big risk to cause trouble for Lu Yuan and others?
After all, Lu Yuan and the others only destroyed the Iron Sword Sect. What they were grabbing was just some extravagant wealth, but they didn't touch the territory of Luling Mansion at all.
As long as you don't reach into the Yuzhang County Wulin, you haven't touched the core interests of the Liuyang Sect.
Once this is clarified, the Liuyang Sect really won't make any big moves. In the end, there is a high probability that they will just suffer this loss.
Therefore, the entire operation of extermination is not risky and everything is under control.
Yan Wangqiu couldn't help but nod when he heard Lu Yuan's explanation, and could only say helplessly: "Maybe so."
"Brother Yan, as warriors as we are, we do what we do. How cowardly is it to be timid? Isn't it the Six Yang Sect? I will destroy its vassal, how will it be treated?"
Next to him, Su Xuange glanced at the old man with some disgust, then looked at Lu Yuan, and said positively: "Brother, are we short of manpower to attack the Iron Sword Sect this time? If necessary, I can go and help."
Lu Yuan smiled and shook his head and said: "Thank you, Brother Su. But this time, the two innate masters, Blue Saint and I, are enough.
On the contrary, here, after I left, the defense was empty, and the two brothers still needed help to look after it.
Brother, please stay here and watch the rear for me. "
Su Xuange said with some regret, "Is this so? That's okay. Brother Yan, don't worry. With me and Brother Yan here, there won't be any trouble in the Shaoyang Mansion."
Lu Yuan held up his hands and said, "I certainly trust my two brothers."
In this way, the matter of attacking and destroying the Iron Sword Sect was settled.
Then the three of them talked about other things, mainly about the imperial court, for another hour, and they dispersed until nearly noon.
On the second day, after everything was arranged, Lu Yuan called Lan Zhaoyun and his daughter to the military camp together, and then met Zhou Qing and others who had already prepared.
With these recruited disciples and soldiers, as well as the masters of the Five Poison Sect, Lu Yuan and his party of more than 600 people rode on fast horses and headed east in a mighty way.
The frost and snow on the road were very cold and chilly.
…
"Master, this New Year's Eve, the celebration expenses and the annuities paid to the disciples and elders have been calculated, totaling 12,230 taels of silver."
Ding Xihua was lying on the couch, playing with two huge iron beads in his hands. Below him was an accountant, holding an account book, turning the pages, and reporting to him.
After hearing these accounts, Ding Xihua paused while playing with the iron beads and asked: "How much money did the door earn last year? How much money is left in the account now?"
The accountant replied: "Last year, the north-south trade in the gate made a profit of 157,300 taels. The local vassal gangs paid tribute and received 82,000 taels. The output of farms and shops in various places made a profit of 75,400 taels. One hundred taels of silver.
In total, a total of 314,700 taels of silver were received last year.
Last year, the monthly salary paid to the disciples and elders was 123,000 taels. It cost 50,000 taels to purchase and supply various materials inside the gate. Expenses for various New Year holidays amounted to thirty-seven thousand taels. The correspondence with Jianghu colleagues cost twenty-five thousand taels.
The above expenses totaled two hundred and thirty-five thousand taels.
The annual surplus of 79,700 taels of silver has been deposited in the public account. "
When Ding Xihua heard this, he couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, I earned nearly 80,000 taels again. Now there should be nearly one million taels of silver in the public account, right?"
Mr. Accountant said: "It has passed one million taels. Now there are 1,039,210 taels of silver in the public account."
"Okay, there will be more than one year after year. There will be more than one year after year. This is a good sign."
Ding Xihua put down the iron ball in his hand, sat up, waved to the accountant and said, "You did a good job in calculating the accounts. Go and collect ten taels of silver from the public account, which will be used as an annuity. Step back."
When the accountant heard this, his face suddenly showed joy, and he bowed his hands repeatedly: "Thank you, master, thank you, master."
Then, he took steps to collect the money.
Looking at the departing figure of the settler, Ding Xihua smiled slightly in his heart and was filled with a sense of accomplishment.
Since twelve years ago, when the sect leader Mo Baichuan died, he united with many elders in the sect to eliminate the disciples of Mo Baichuan, an old thief, and became the new sect leader, taking charge of the Iron Sword Sect.
At that time, at the beginning, Iron Sword Sect had a very difficult time.
Because during the civil strife, the most powerful heart method in the sect, the Heart Sutra of Replenishing Qi, which was originally controlled by Mo Baichuan, was lost.
Although they, the collateral members of the sect, have also practiced the iron sword swordsmanship, the supreme swordsmanship in the sect, this swordsmanship is only a first-class move. Without the Qi-Building Heart Sutra, it cannot be considered a complete first-class martial arts.
So at that time, because they did not have first-class mental skills, although these side factions succeeded in seizing power, they were still unable to produce a first-class master to serve as the face of the sect.
This frail appearance naturally aroused the covetousness of many outsiders.
If Ding Xihua and the others hadn't spent a lot of money to invite a first-class elder from the Liuyang Sect to come and take charge, they would probably have lost even their current foundation to outsiders.
Fortunately, after getting through the initial difficulties, as they passed through the ancient books in the door and the disciples who interrogated Mo Baichuan, they finally found out the treasure hidden in the door.
By taking out the treasure, he obtained the Qi-Building Heart Sutra hidden inside, as well as some divine blood elixirs.
With these, Ding Xihua finally broke through the first-class realm and firmly established himself as the current sect leader.
But now, more than ten years have passed, and the pain of the original civil strife has long been healed.
Even in the outside world, people have long forgotten Mo Baichuan's name.
Nowadays, there is only one title of [Iron Sword] in the martial arts world, and that is Ding Xihua.
He is the rightful leader of the Iron Sword. The so-called rebellion has long since passed and become a memory in the past.
The Iron Sword Sect also regained its prestige under the leadership of Ding Xihua.
The disciples who were killed or injured at the beginning were replenished with the growth of new disciples, and the number of disciples was once again in the thousands.
The vassals of various counties in the prefecture also gradually joined.
The sect's various business incomes have also continued to grow over the years.
Nowadays, the amount of money in public accounts has not only returned to the amount before the civil war, but is also much larger than before.
And all of this was accomplished in just twelve years.
"When the sect was increasingly depleted of funds, Mo Baichuan only attributed it to our corruption, and also thought of suppressing our side sects in order to regain power.
But now that we are waiting for the subordinates to come to power, if we talk about his principles, the sect should be even worse.
But the fact is that under my leadership, the sect has become more and more prosperous.
There is no shortage of funds. "
Standing in the spacious master hall, Ding Xihua touched his master's seat with a hint of drunken sarcasm on his face: "It is obviously his own incompetence. He only knows how to practice martial arts and does not take care of the sect's industry, which is why the sect has declined. .
Now that we have set things right, the sect is once again prosperous, and I am the leader of the revival.
In the future, when I meet the sect's previous heads under Jiuquan, I will definitely enumerate Mo Baichuan's crimes so that he will not be able to see his ancestors. "
He would not let someone go even after he died, and Ding Xihua's hatred for Mo Baichuan was unforgettable.
But when he talked about his achievements, he forgot a little.
That is, the reason why the sect is now prosperous is due to the many disciples of the leader of the attack and destruction, who confiscated the property and income of this large number of people.
It was precisely after they, the rebels, divided up the family's property that the sect had a new source of finance, and thus prospered.
But then again.
What they did to the leader's lineage was just what Mo Baichuan wanted to do to them.
As long as either main branch or side branch is eliminated, there will naturally be new cakes for the sect to use.
The ZTE situation will naturally arise.
The only difference is who dies and who sacrifices.
At this time, their branch has won, so they can enjoy this prosperous era with peace of mind.
Ding Xihua closed his eyes slightly, opened his hands, and hugged him slightly forward.
This became a habit he developed after becoming the leader.
Because this will make him feel as if he is embracing the entire Tianlong Mountain, and everything in the Iron Sword Sect is in his arms.
Ding Xihua didn't want to open his eyes due to the intoxicating feeling of such a slight hug.
But that's it.
There seemed to be a breeze blowing inside the hall.
This wind should be blowing from the back mountain, carrying a strong fragrance of flowers.
This fragrance is very special. I haven't smelled it before. Are there some new flower seeds growing in the back mountain?
Ding Xihua frowned slightly, thinking in his mind.
Since he ascended to the position of leader, he has walked through every inch of Tianlong Mountain in detail, just to inspect his territory.
So I am familiar with everything in the mountains. Even the fragrance of the flowers and plants can be distinguished.
At this time, this unfamiliar fragrance immediately made the Iron Sword Sect Master feel a little dissatisfied.
Because it makes him feel that something new has entered his territory that he is unfamiliar with and does not master.
He hated this feeling of not being in control.
But despite this, Ding Xihua still didn't open his eyes.
This is just some floral fragrance blowing in through the crack in the door. When the gust of wind passes, the floral fragrance will naturally disappear.
As for the unfamiliar flower fragrance, if you go to the back mountain again and find that kind of flower, you will naturally become familiar with it and you will be under your control.
Ding Xihua thought like this, and then he felt a wave of fatigue coming from his body, and his eyelids seemed to be getting heavier and heavier, as if countless cells in his body were telling him.
I'm very tired, I'm very sleepy, and I feel like sleeping.
At this moment, he finally realized something was wrong and suddenly woke up.
A pair of eyes opened, and then he looked around the hall in horror, and then his heart suddenly stopped.
Because he saw two figures standing side by side in the corner on one side of the hall. At this time, the owners of the two figures were looking at him quietly.
"who are you……"
Ding Xihua stared at the two figures in horror, subconsciously wanting to question them.
However, when he opened his throat, he felt a dry pain in his throat. A hot and weak feeling spread from his heart and lungs to his body and limbs.
This immediately shocked him again, knowing that he had been poisoned. He quickly mobilized his internal energy to suppress it. As the warm internal energy flowed through his limbs, the feeling of powerlessness and heat was finally suppressed a little.
That's just containment.
Because the toxin is still spreading slowly in the body, but the speed of diffusion is slower than before.
"ah!"
"who are you?"
"There's a thief!"
"Enemies, kill them!"
At this moment, outside the main hall, countless shouts and fighting sounds came in one after another throughout Tianlong Mountain.
Hearing the shouts of killing one after another, Ding Xihua's face instantly turned pale again.
The new head of the Iron Sword Sect finally realized that there were more than two people coming. The opponent is not just targeting himself, but the entire Iron Sword Sect.
This realization instantly brought endless fear, making his vision almost go dark.
"Looks like he's been discovered."
At this time, the two figures in the corner finally walked out of the shadows, and a young man in black couldn't help but shake his head.
"After all, he is a top-notch master. How can it be so easy to take him down unconsciously?"
Another figure also came out, it was a girl in Miao costume, and she said in a cold voice.
"That's true." Lu Yuan nodded in agreement, and then said with a smile: "But it's not a troublesome thing. Since he can't be poisoned to death, we can just put in more effort and burn him to death."
Listening to the conversation between the two people, Ding Xihua's expression changed again, and he hurriedly shouted: "Spare me, if you have anything to say..."
However, Lu Yuan would not pay attention to him.
He stretched out his hand and opened it forward, and suddenly a red fire ignited in the hall, and the red sun's outer body appeared.
Lu Yuan stretched out his hand again, and the red sun fire instantly floated to Ding Xihua.
Seeing this iconic flame, Ding Xihua immediately recognized the opponent's strength: "Innate!"
Great despair enveloped him.
But in the face of life and death, Ding Xihua did not give up resistance completely. Instead, he used all his inner strength to turn into a pale white mist, covering his body with an inner strength aura.
But this was of no use.
I saw the fire of the red sun coming down, and with a bang, it ignited the entire mist.
Ding Xihua tried his best to channel his internal energy, trying to maintain his internal energy and the external field. However, when the internal energy in his body weakened slightly, the terrifying poisonous change occurred.
Then it further affected the meridians of his body, causing the transportation of internal energy to suddenly stop, and the internal energy field lost its supply, and was burned up by the fire of the red sun.
Without the protection of the inner energy field, the red fire came and burned it to ashes in an instant.
And all this happened in just a few breaths.
Faced with the joint sneak attack of the two innate masters, Ding Xihua, a small first-class man, had no power to resist at all.
Even living a few more breaths is a luxury.
"Okay, it's done."
Lu Yuan watched as the ashes on the ground disappeared, the martial arts outer body dispersed, and the red sun fire disappeared immediately. He retracted his outstretched hand, turned to Lan Cai'er next to him and smiled: "It seems that Miss Lan and I will become a couple in the future.
You come to poison and charm, I come to set people on fire.
The combination of the two swords is the innate master, and I am afraid he will also have our way. "
When Lan Cai'er heard this, she understood the metaphor, snorted softly, and turned around: "With the general's current power, even the innate master would not dare to come to trouble you. Whoever wants to deal with him will have countless subordinates." There is no need to do it yourself if people can do it.”
Lu Yuan laughed: "That's true. But it's always good to be more prepared for everything. You and I can practice more in the future. Maybe it will come in handy one day?"
After saying that, he strode out without waiting for Lan Cai'er to answer.
At this time, in Tianlong Mountain outside, all kinds of shouts of killing had gradually become sparse.
This time he brought four first-rate masters, twenty-one second-rate masters, seventy third-rate warriors, plus 500 elite soldiers with internal strength.
Such a huge force is more than enough to wipe out the six to seven hundred remaining disciples of the Iron Sword Sect in Tianlong Mountain.
we can even say.
They faced a one-sided massacre of the people from the Iron Sword Sect.
The other party had just made a little contact and had already become a dead soul under the arrow.
"Master!"
After watching outside for a while, Zhou Qing came over and saluted with a sword in hand.
Lu Yuan looked at his disciple. At this time, his eyes were red, his face was flushed, his body was stained with blood, his hair was slightly messy, and there were some gaps in the long sword in his hand.
It looks like after a bloody battle.
