Kaiyang Mountain.
Under the affiliated forces, one Daoji Realm came from each family, together with six Qi Refining Realm.
But from the Qujiang Luo clan, there were three Daoji realms and twelve Qi refining realms.
The leader is clearly the current head of the Luo family and the former great elder.
His mood was quite complicated because he learned that the Changxi Yan family had become a branch of Xuantian Temple.
And my own house is still just an accessory.
From another perspective, everyone is Xuantianguan's domestic slave.
As for the Yan family, she has married into the main family and became a concubine.
Qujiang Luo family is still a slave and maid.
He originally thought that he could show his sincerity by bringing two Taoist masters, together with the Twelve Qi Refiners.
After all, after clearing the main line, the Qujiang Luo family's foundation has been greatly damaged. It is already their best to move out of this lineup while maintaining the business in the three domains.
But the Yan family in Changxi came with four Taoist masters and twenty Qi refining realm masters.
Moreover, Yan Lin, the head of the Yan family, was actually given the position of elder to coordinate the reconstruction of Kaiyang Mountain.
"The previous head of the family made one mistake and almost plunged our Luo family into an abyss. Now as a sinner family, after all, we can't compare to the Changxi Yan family... no, the Changxi branch."
The head of the Luo family couldn't help but think of the envoy of the Purple Yang Territory Lord. The sincere recruitment conditions were really heart-warming.
But he also knew that if he made one more mistake, the Qujiang Luo family would be destroyed.
He also understood that trying to fawn over Ziyang Territory Master and Xuantian Guan would be a dead end.
A confrontation between behemoths, with ants in the middle, will never end well.
He thought like this and turned his head to look at Tu Yisanren.
This old guy's cultivation level is not very high, but he is considered an old-timer among the casual monks. He is usually kind to others and has accumulated a lot of good karma.
This time, he called on the scattered monks in Ziyang Domain to go to the Seventh Mountain, claiming that if they could get into the eyes of Venerable Lu, they might become disciples of Xuantian Temple.
This makes those monks who have no family and no sect, struggling all the way and struggling at the bottom, all moved by it.
They were unable to resist the original call-up order from the imperial court, and they all wanted to go to the southern mountains to help in the battle.
Now Tu Yisan made a speech and naturally chose the Seventh Mountain.
"The deacon of the outer gate of Xuantian Temple..."
The head of the Luo family is still a little envious.
Looking further away, the people I saw from the Yan family in Changxi were, to be precise, the outer disciples of Xuantian Temple.
Under the command and dispatch of Elder Yan Lin, all members of the Yan family wore Taoist robes of Xuantian Temple disciples to maintain order.
And when Lu Wan walked slowly from Kaiyang Mountain, everyone bowed down and worshiped him.
"Meet Master Lu!"
"Get up!"
Lu Wan looked as usual.
Elder Yan Lin has come close to report on recent events.
All the belongings of the Zhao family in Jinling had previously been moved to the foot of Kaiyang Mountain. In recent days, the remnants of the Zhao family in the outside world have been basically eliminated and all the treasures have been recovered.
In the past two or three days, all the recovered treasures were delivered to the foot of Kaiyang Mountain.
What is guarded below by Senior Sister Xie, Qingsui, Zhou Yuan and other old members of Xuantianguan is the inheritance of the entire Zhao family.
But at this point, Elder Yan Lin mentioned something else.
Previously, there was a clan member of the Zhao family who was not eliminated because someone came to rescue him. Instead, he left the Ziyang Territory and no trace has been found so far.
Lu Wan had already known about this matter before, but Yan Lin's repeated mention of the old incident made him take another look.
"After investigation, it was found that this Zhao family member went straight east. They may have gone beyond the scope of Daqian and probably hid on overseas islands."
Yan Lin said in a low voice: "After all, our Xuantian Temple is now very famous, and the Venerable scolded the Xuanyang Gao family before in Guanhua Tower, which won the favor of many forces. He must be a remnant of the Zhao family, and thinks that Daqian can't treat him well." He lived there, so he went to sea... It is also possible that the person who saved these remnants was an overseas practitioner himself."
"..."
Lu Wan frowned slightly.
Later, Zhou Yun, a true disciple of Xuantian Temple, came forward to report on the battle situation in recent days.
Previously, several sects and aristocratic monks, as well as some casual monks, had killed Xuantianguan's old members, and their methods were no less vicious than those of the Jinling Zhao family.
It is precisely for this reason that Lu Wan once ordered all affiliated forces to carry out encirclement and suppression.
Si Tianjian's inspector acquiesced in this matter.
There was no movement in Ziyang Domain Mansion.
Therefore, this matter was considered successful.
However, the affiliated forces of all parties were inevitably killed and injured, and Deacon Lin also suffered heavy losses.
"Reward according to merit, leave it to Elder Yan."
Lu Wan said this and exhaled.
His expression was a little complicated, but after all he didn't want to dwell on what was contained in these few sentences, so he asked instead: "How many five-element spiritual objects did you get under the heavy reward?"
"High-quality spiritual objects, six in total."
Elder Yan Lin whispered: "Thirty medium spiritual objects, and one hundred and twenty elementary spiritual objects."
Lu Wan raised his eyebrows and said, "Are there nine more affiliated forces?"
He first went out to send a message, either three high-grade spiritual objects, ten medium spiritual objects, or thirty elementary spiritual objects. As long as he presented them, he could become an affiliated force of Xuantian Temple.
But I didn't expect that there were so many.
"There are only three affiliated forces."
Elder Yan Lin said: "There are two other families who came from outside the Ziyang Territory and are seeking the 'Precious Medicine for the Dantian'! And there is another family, although they are from the Ziyang Territory, they have not chosen to become an affiliated force of Xuantian Temple. , but to seek the precious medicine!”
"oh?"
Lu Wan nodded slightly, and had no intention of conquering all the forces in the Ziyang Region.
But then he pondered: "Are these only six? Where are the other three?"
Elder Yan Lin whispered: "The Bai family, the Zhenyang Prince's Mansion, and the Jingshen Sect of the Divine Capital!"
Jingshen Sect is one of the four major god-refining forces among the eight southern regions of Daqian, located in Gaoyang Region.
Relatively speaking, Gaoyang Territory and Ziyang Territory are relatively close, and Jingshen Sect and Xuantian Guan also have many contacts.
And Qujiang Luo's business extended to Gaoyang Territory.
"Write down the list."
Lu Wan said calmly: "You will arrange the affiliated forces. For the rest of the 'precious medicine', let them send people to pick it up in half a month..."
After a pause, Lu Wan said again: "If you are afraid that the precious medicine will be intercepted halfway, you are allowed to take the medicine at the foot of Kaiyang Mountain, and I, Xuantian Temple, will protect you."
"clear."
Elder Yan Lin said this.
Lu Wan took the list, glanced at it, and was slightly disappointed.
Among these spiritual beings, the most numerous are water-based spiritual beings.
There are four pieces in the upper grade, only eight in the middle grade, and only seventeen in the elementary grade.
This is enough for any cultivator to build a superior Taoist platform, but it is obviously not enough for an immortal Taoist platform.
Unless he consumes all the sacred flowers above the thunder tree shadow at this moment.
Just the third and fourth ancestors, Shenhua can do many unimaginable things.
But the Five Elements Spiritual Objects are things that can be collected by all parties with the power in their hands.
Save money unless necessary.
"Put away all the spiritual objects. I want to take them away."
After Lu Wan said this, he added: "If there are any spiritual objects sent to you in the future, send them all to the Seventh Mountain and hand them over to me."
Yan Lin responded in a low voice: "Understood."
He hesitated for a moment, and then said: "I heard that in recent days, all forces in the Ziyang Region, even the monks who are scattered, have been risking their lives to search for spiritual objects, and even fight... Even outside the Ziyang Region, there are many Forces have been competing for spiritual objects, and even high-grade spiritual pills are exchanged for spiritual objects. It also happens from time to time."
He didn't say this very thoroughly.
But it can make Lu Wan understand that many outside forces and monks are collecting spiritual objects for him.
Now, only a few days have passed, and more practitioners have one or two spiritual objects in their hands, but they can't get them all, so they have not come to worship the mountain.
But after a while, many people who have gathered enough spiritual items will come to Kaiyang Mountain.
"very good."
Lu Wan looked at it and thought: "Golden spiritual objects are of no use to me, but they can be kept. In the future, Xuantian Temple will develop and grow, and there will naturally be more Taoist realms, and spiritual objects will be needed to build Taoist platforms."
"Water-based spiritual objects are by far the most numerous. I also have Xuanyuan Heavy Water, a gift from my best friend Bai Xianzun."
"If we put together the next batch of spiritual objects, we should have enough resources to cast the Water Spirit Dao Platform."
"As for the Wood Spirit Dao Platform and the Earth Spirit Dao Platform, the spiritual materials required are far from enough."
"Fire Spirit Taoist Platform..."
Lu Wan rubbed his eyebrows and thought to himself: "Is it so rare?"
He discovered that this fire spiritual object was actually the rarest. There were only three in total, and they were all of the elementary grade.
Then he remembered that his third ancestor's grandmother had mentioned to him the Zhenyang Prince's technique, which focused on the fire nature!
Even in the realm of making a cauldron, fire-based spiritual objects also have an effect on his skills.
King Zhenyang broke through to the realm of refining gods within these ten years.
It seems that all the fire spirits in the southern part of Daqian may have fallen into the hands of the Zhenyang Palace.
——
Zhenyang Prince's Mansion.
"Your Majesty led one hundred thousand troops to guard the First Mountain."
"After all, it is still within the border of Daqian. With the blessing of the king's seal, it is comparable to the peak of god refining."
"Another hundred thousand troops have formed a military formation to help the prince. Even if the monsters at the peak of god refining attack, the prince can kill them!"
"In other mountains, there are also sects, families, and monks from all walks of life to guard them together."
"In addition, a refining god, seven forging cauldrons, and more than a hundred Qi refining realms from the Chengming Tianshi Mansion have all rushed to Mount Twenty-Four."
"Two of Si Tianjian's men in golden clothes and more than a hundred patrol envoys also went to the Twenty-Four Mountain Defense Line."
The old man surnamed Xu stroked his beard slightly and said: "With the help of Chengming Tianshi Mansion in this battle, there should be no more accidents. Princess, don't worry too much."
"..."
The princess was silent for a moment, and then said: "Why are Xuantian Temple the only one among the four great god-refining forces in the eight southern regions to be defeated?"
In her mind, this time Zhenyang Palace will serve the country and fight against the many monsters in the southern mountains.
This is a logical opportunity to suppress Xuantian Guan!
But instead of taking the opportunity to exert pressure, the prince was more tolerant. He did not force Headmaster Xuantian to come forward, and only asked Xuantian Guan to guard the Seventh Mountain!
It must be known that Li Mo, as the fourth son of the prince, was taught a soul-sealing seal by Xuantian, and his mind is still confused and unclear.
Just let go of this hatred?
Even want to show favor to Xuantian Guan?
"This is the prince's decision."
The old man surnamed Xu gave a slight salute and said: "As a princess, you should not interfere in the palace's external affairs! The last time six dead men assassinated Lu Wan, they have been suppressed, but I hope that from now on, the princess will only care about the palace. Internal matter!”
"Are you warning me?" the princess said in a calm tone.
"This old slave is just conveying the prince's wishes."
The old man named Xu said this.
He seemed respectful, but was actually cold.
He was the old prince's confidant. When he was working for the prince, not even the contemporary King of Zhenyang was born.
He was only loyal to the old prince, and only had the overall situation of Prince Zhenyang in his mind.
What's more important is that he has no heirs and is old, so he has no worries in his twilight years.
"very good."
The princess snorted coldly, turned and left.
After a while, I saw a person standing by the wall, laughing.
This is a young man, dressed simply, but he cannot hide the arrogance between his brows.
The sixth son of King Zhenyang, Li Chengyun.
The princess is not his biological mother.
So he looked at this good show and just smiled and said: "Grandpa Xu, why are you angry with her?"
"Women are short-sighted and only know good and evil, but not the overall situation."
The old man surnamed Xu sighed, and then said: "Sixth Young Master, this time I have been entrusted with an important task by the prince, are you sure?"
"Of course I don't."
Li Chengyun smiled and said, "Aren't you here?"
The old man surnamed Xu shook his head slightly and said: "This old slave is only a master at making cauldrons. I'm afraid I won't be able to suppress him."
Now, most of the soldiers of Zhenyang Palace, as well as the troops guarding various regions, have been transferred to Mount Twenty-Four.
However, if the "gods" of various realms leave the realm under their jurisdiction, their strength will be greatly reduced and they are not suitable for transfer.
These gods themselves are not under the jurisdiction of the royal palace, but take orders from the divine capital.
But the current emperor attaches great importance to the imperial master.
To the gods from all walks of life, Si Tianjian's decree symbolizes the emperor's decree.
Moreover, Si Tianjian left some inspectors behind.
"The prince has been afraid of Si Tianjian for a long time."
The old man surnamed Xu said slowly: "As for the gods and spirits everywhere in the eight southern regions, strictly speaking, they all belong to Si Tianjian's eyes... This time the palace is focusing on the Twenty-Four Mountains, it is inevitable that in these eight regions, Empty, it all depends on the operation of the Sixth Young Master."
He paused and said, "The old slave can only take action when necessary."
"What about Xuantian Temple?"
Li Chengyun thought about it and said, "Why did you only leave Headmaster Xuantian? Could it be that my father thought that Headmaster Xuantian would help the palace to calm down the chaos on all sides?"
"Xuantian Temple..."
The old man surnamed Xu paused for a moment and then said: "That is what the old prince meant."
Li Chengyun's eyes lit up slightly and he whispered: "Grandpa? Is he out of confinement?"
The old man surnamed Xu nodded, and then said: "All forces have rushed to the Twenty-Four Mountains one after another. The next pressure must be left to the Sixth Young Master."
"clear."
Li Chengyun nodded and responded: "Isn't it just to save some effort and leave a group of manpower for me to deploy before cooperating with Chengming Tianshi Mansion? It should be enough!"
Chengming Celestial Master's Mansion, a fragment of the basic thunder method, has attracted the hearts of practitioners from all walks of life, and came to the eight southern regions.
But now that the recruitment order has been issued, these practitioners from all sides need to go to the Twenty-Four Mountains to assist in the defense.
There is such an extra group of people.
Zhenyang Prince's Mansion can save a group of people.
This group of people stayed in Zhenyang Palace and were dispatched by Li Chengyun.
"The chief secretary of Si Tianjian is a Dacheng Dacheng who was born in the Gao family of Xuanyang. His formation skills are rare in the world and are quite impressive."
Li Chengyun thought for a while and asked, "Can this person be used?"
The old man surnamed Xu thought for a while and responded: "Yes!"
——
Kaiyang Mountain is three hundred miles south.
This is the seventh mountain.
Going south again, you are beyond the territory of Daqian.
Looking far away, there are high mountains and ridges.
Each mountain is higher than the other, and the clouds and mist linger between them, just like a landscape painting.
There are countless vegetation, forests, birds and animals.
It is a mountain of hundreds of thousands that cannot be seen at a glance.
And here is the seventh mountain city.
A city built around the seventh mountain.
"Great Commander, Xuantian's gatekeepers have arrived. They will reach the city in another forty miles."
"Oh?" The commander-in-chief was covered in armor, with a long sword hanging on his waist, and his eyes were cold: "Yesterday morning, the news came that Xuantian Temple had not left yet, why did it arrive today?"
"The news was transmitted back to the Seventh Mountain yesterday morning, covering three hundred miles on the way, about two days ago." The soldier whispered: "From this inference, Xuantian Temple should have set out yesterday."
"Among the twenty-four mountains, the seventh mountain is closest to Xuantian Temple." The commander laughed and said: "Reinforcements from each mountain are already on the way, but Xuantian Temple is the latest to set off. It seems that it is The first batch to arrive..."
"The leader is not Headmaster Xuantian." The soldier said this again.
"Oh?" The commander's eyes narrowed slightly.
"It's that crazy Taoist boy who has become famous recently." The soldier thought for a while and then said, "It is rumored that he is only in the realm of Taoism."
"There is no one available in Xuantian Temple, let a Daoji realm take the lead." The commander sneered and said: "I will use the realm of forging cauldrons to lead tens of thousands of elites to ask for help from the imperial court... If Xuantian Temple is really in danger, Xuantian Temple will Could it be that you are here to die by criticizing the scattered sand?"
"I heard that he made a great success by beheading the cauldron." The soldier paused for a moment and then said hesitantly.
"The first level of Daoji is to cut the cauldron and create it?" The commander shook his head slightly and said: "I have heard this rumor a long time ago. It is so ridiculous, can it be taken seriously?"
"That's true." The soldier nodded and said, "But isn't it right? Xuantianguan's group of people are not high in cultivation, and the commander-in-chief just knows what to do!"
"My cultivation level is not high, so I'm afraid the portion is not enough, and my husband will be angry."
The commander shook his head slightly and said immediately: "I don't want this group of people anymore!"
The soldier was stunned and asked, "What do you mean?"
The commander stood with his hands behind his back and said calmly: "Not to mention total annihilation, at least cut him in half! Especially this Lu Wan, if he dies, Master Xuantian must be here..."
Although the soldier's cultivation level was not high, he had a quick mind and suddenly realized, "What do you mean, the commander-in-chief, is that when they arrive, there will be a gap for the next beast wave?"
"Death on the seventh mountain will inevitably lead to wrath."
The commander pointed to the mountains in the south and said slowly: "The next wave of beasts will be a group of iron-winged condors, headed by a demon general, Dao Ji Peak! Let your brother find a suitable excuse to let them pass first... …”
The soldier laughed and said: "The arrow consumption has been serious recently, and there are suspicions of theft. Previously, Deputy Commander Lin Qi died unfortunately, so my brother took over the ordnance affairs. This time, the Gong camp should be inspected! During the inspection, if there is a tide of beasts, Attack, these archers may not be able to respond in time..."
"You really have a flexible mind. He is much smarter than your brother Liang Yuan."
The commander-in-chief smiled and said: "If your cultivation level were not too low, the position of deputy commander-in-chief should have been awarded to you."
After he finished speaking, he waved his hand and said: "If this happens, I will report it to you, sir, and I will credit you with your merits and give you the first three volumes of the Underworld Hell Technique!"
