Everyone knows that in a large immortal family like the Su family of the Shengfu Sect, it is inevitable for some members of the clan to engage in intrigues and messy things. It is also a common occurrence among major immortal cultivating families.
However, this deep feeling of despair that Su Duan could not shake off came from his direct bloodline inheritance.
Speaking of which, although Su Duan was the eldest son of the previous sect master Su Tianlong, his mother was not from a wealthy cultivating family, but was an ordinary woman with a mediocre family background and extremely low cultivation. Due to his early death, Su Duan was from a single lineage. He was able to grow up in the Holy Talisman Sect only because of the favor of his father Su Tianlong.
Because of the death of Su Dui's biological mother, Su Tianlong later became a Taoist couple with Fengyuan Qianxiu, a female cultivator from the Fengyuan clan in the fairyland, and gave birth to many children. These children have since spread, and today they have become The so-called relatives of the Su family control various key positions in the Shengfu Sect.
Although Su Duan was the sect leader, he had nothing to do with these half-brothers. Just because he came to power just by borrowing the will of his father Su Tianlong and the power of his Taoist companion Lihuo Palace in the West.
To be honest, the entire Sioux clan didn't think highly of him, and even secretly wanted to depose him as the clan leader more than once.
Fortunately, Su Duan's appearance is very good. After taking over as the leader of the Holy Talisman Sect, he reached the realm of refining gods in a very short time. Moreover, the strength of Lihuo Palace in the Western Region is extremely strong, not much inferior to that of the Su family of the Holy Talisman Sect. He finally managed to They maintained that they did not completely break up with the Su family members. Although some private fights for power and betrayal and other things happened from time to time, no one dared to compete with him, the leader of the sect who was well-known and upright in person.
However, compared to the Su people within the Shengfu Sect, the Fengyuan clan is even more gigantic. As the leading immortal cultivating family in the Dasheng Immortal Kingdom, not only Su Tianlong's second wife, Fengyuan Jianxiu and Su Duan, are both saints. Fu Zong is the master of the God Refining Realm, and the Fengyuan Clan also has a late-stage God Refining Realm monk who has been wandering around for a long time. What is even more troublesome is that one of the Fengyuan Clan's descendants has a special identity. He is a man who spans the entire Tianyuan. A core disciple recruited by a huge force in the world.
It can be said that within the Shengfu Sect, Su Duan is Su Duan, and the Su people are Su people. However, because of their disconnected relationship with the Su people, the Fengyuan clan has become another group of more detached forces.
Su Duan relied on the strength of himself and his Taoist companion Zhuang Qingxuan to refine the gods, plus the support of the Lihuo Palace of the Shangxianmen who was the only one in the Western Region, and the support of a group of people in the Shengfu Sect who followed the old sect leader Su Tianlong. The Sioux and Fengyuan clan maintain a delicate balance of power.
But this extremely fragile balance began to be gradually broken after Su Qing got into trouble with Qing Ziji, the leader of the Moon Worshiping Kingdom.
Because Su Dui originally wanted to hand over Su Qing to settle the matter, Su Qing's biological mother Fengyuan Jianxiu was very dissatisfied with him. He didn't dare to face the power of the Moon Worshiping Immortal Kingdom.
During these days, Su Duan was exhausted and mentally and physically exhausted, but he had no choice but to hold on, hoping that the war with the Moon Worshiping Immortal Kingdom would end soon. However, the Toyohara clan continued to exert pressure in various ways, urging him to kill all the invading moon-worshipping monks as soon as possible, which also made him increasingly dilemma.
It's not that Su Duan is weak, it's just that morality is not on his side, and he can't even explain it to the entire fairy world.
After careful consideration, he attracted the help of monks from the Third Realm, and several times put aside his dignity to discuss peace with Yue Xian Guo Qingzi. However, he aroused increasing suspicion from the Su people and the Fengyuan clan, and the conflict gradually became acute. .
At this moment, seeing these Su and Fengyuan people openly refuting his decision, Su Duan was furious, but he secretly endured it.
Thinking that Fengyuan Qianxiu would come to help in person tomorrow, he would not want to further intensify the conflict. After all, now was the time when the same enemy was sharing the same hatred, and a group of people from the eastern border had left. It was really not appropriate to stir up internal strife again.
It's just that his wishful thinking not only failed to resonate with the several Su clan members sitting here, but instead gave them a weak impression.
That night, in a building on the east side of Chishuang Mountain, several hall masters surnamed Su sat together with Fengyuan Shulian and Fengyuan Sheng.
"I knew he didn't have the guts. When I heard that the mother-in-law was coming, I immediately gave in!" Su Jiabao said with a chuckle.
"That counts as self-awareness!" Su Younian looked relieved.
"Hmph! Why do those unrelated outsiders come to blame me? In his heart, where does the place for us Su tribesmen exist?!" Su Qing said resentfully.
"My eldest aunt is coming over tomorrow. If you have anything to say, say it in front of her. There is no need to waste words here!" Fengyuan Sheng glanced at Su Qing, and his tone was slightly deep.
Fengyuan Shulian asked Su Cheng, the leader of the Punishment Hall: "I heard that your brother Su Qing is in seclusion to attack the realm of refining gods. Is this true? You have always been close to him, so you must know the specific situation!"
A hint of mystery suddenly appeared on Su Cheng's face, and he said in a low voice: "It is indeed true, it must have happened in the past few days."
"What?" "Brother is going to break through to the realm of refining gods?" "No way?" Su Qing, Su Jiabao, and Su Younian exclaimed several times in surprise, with happy expressions on their faces.
Fengyuan Shulian said solemnly: "He has been stagnant in the ninth level of the Purple Mansion Realm for so many years. Now that he is no longer disturbed by the obsession with love between men and women, he should have made a breakthrough in his cultivation."
"Yes, if eldest brother succeeds in advancing to the God Refining Realm, our Su clan will have a second strong God Refining Realm, and Su Duan will no longer be the only one!" Su Cheng was also slightly excited. 33
"Of course!" Su Younian said with absolute certainty at this moment: "I don't think anyone will dare to hand him over at that time? How can a powerful person in the God Refining Realm be something Bai Yueqing and Su Duan can manipulate at will? !”
Su Qing even said with a loud voice: "Humph, in my opinion, the leader of the Holy Talisman Sect should also be replaced by then!"
He really said this too loudly, which startled several people around him. They all yelled: "Shut up!" "What nonsense are you talking about?" "Shut up!" "Brother Qing, please keep your voice down! "
Fengyuan Sheng, the master of Duan Inkstone Hall, saw that several people were quiet again, his eyes were twinkling and he said: "I wonder if he will come with my eldest aunt tomorrow?"
"That's not necessarily true. If he shows up, it will only add fuel to the fire. He is afraid that it will irritate Su Duan, which will be very detrimental to the current war!" Fengyuan Shulian speculated.
At this moment, in a building at the southwest foot of Chishuang Mountain, elder Feng Ping, hunting envoys Luo Yuhan and Liu Yeling from the north and south, Wei Yi, deputy head of Duanyan Hall, and Chen Lianyi, deputy head of Cuiyun Hall, were waiting in the hall.
Su Duan sat in the middle, stared at the group of people and said, "Look, they have indeed gathered together. What are they planning? Alas, our Holy Sect has such a group of snakes and rats, which is really frustrating!"
Chen Lianyi comforted him and said, "Sect Master, please be at ease during this battle, and don't mess up your position!"
Elder Feng Ping said solemnly: "The plan for now is to find ways to stabilize other outer realm immortal sects, so as not to be affected by the departure of this group of Eastern Realm monks!"
Liu Yeling nodded and said: "Indeed, if they also think about retreating, the power of the four realms that they finally gathered may be scattered!"
Wei Yi, the deputy head of Duanyan Hall, smiled and said: "Fortunately, the monks from the two realms in the southwest are now on the eastern front, so they won't know the situation here for a while."
Luo Yuhan said in a clear voice: "You will find out eventually, so you have to make some plans in advance."
Wei Yi said nonchalantly: "In my opinion, the restrictions in the North are almost broken now. The next step is the strength showdown between the high-level monks of the two immortal kingdoms. As long as we find a way to retain those monks in the Purple Mansion Realm and the Ningdan Realm, It’s no big deal if the rest of the middle and low-level monks leave!”
Liu Yeling retorted: "Master Wei took it for granted. Since those monks from the Immortal Sect came together, they were one and the same. If the low-level monks left the sect, the teachers who led the team would not stay for long! Besides, those low-level monks would not stay for a long time! After all, there are a large number of high-level monks, which can be used to attack those small peripheral restrictions. What's more, relying on the gathering of people and the power of some mountain and river formations, it is possible that those high-level monks can avoid their sharp edges. I think we had Didn’t we just suffer this loss by abandoning Ni Huangzhuang and Kui Yunling? Last time, we used a group of low-level monks to infiltrate the underground palace and set up the Qianyuan Concealing Formation to seize Ni Huangzhuang. Wasn’t this the same principle?"
Feng Ping also said: "What Liu Xunshou said is true. Further north, there are many strange landforms in the border area. It is said that the moon-worshiping monks not only set up bans on Yinyue Tomb, but also set up bans there. Mountain and river formations are stacked up for defense. The formation-breaking equipment we brought last time is just right for those middle and low-level monks to use!"
Listening to the words of the people below, Su Duan was silent for a while, then looked at Luo Yuhan and said, "It's not a big problem here in the western border. Qingxuan can take care of it. But in the southern border, Fairy Yuhan has to take care of her. Okay. To provide some comfort.”
Luo Yuhan had a solemn look on her face and promised: "Don't worry, Sect Master, my subordinates will do their best."
…
The next day, just as Fengyuan Shulian expected, Fengyuan Qianxiu came to Chishuang Mountain with only a few accompanying maids.
Su Duozhi, a junior, paid a visit to Fengyuan Qianxiu and gave a brief account of Su Qing. That night, Fengyuan Qianxiu called Su Qing to him, pointed at his nose and scolded him.
However, the scolding continued, but the final result was that there was no follow-up. Su Qing continued to do whatever he was supposed to do, and even showed a arrogant attitude between his eyebrows from time to time, which made Su Duan very angry.
Fortunately, since Fengyuan Jianxiu came to help on the Western Front, it has become easier to attack the restrictions. As a strong person in the middle stage of the God Refining Realm, she does not need to spend any effort to break those medium and large restrictions, and she does not even need to use any means. Go find the Yin Yue Tomb, and with its overwhelming strength, you can directly use some powerful magical powers to break through the forbidden barrier and kill a large number of the monks guarding it.
As a result, the moon-worshiping monks on the Western Front left a lot of empty restrictions, and they all ran away clean and refreshed.
Some people died, but not completely...
