Chapter 373: The Upheaval of Gangneung City
ps: (Thanks to my friend from Heart Falls for bidding for the monthly ticket! The first update is delivered today!)
At this time, Zi Xi sighed, but she didn't expect that she would bring out a duel to send Jiang Chen here to inquire about information. Jiang Chen had a good relationship with her, and Shi Sheng was also one of the guardians of Tianyou Peak. Her palms and backs were full of flesh. When she was thinking about how to prevent Shi Sheng and Jiang Chen from getting hurt by the duel, her expression suddenly changed.
Her jade hand suddenly grabbed forward, and a red spark was grabbed by her.
Immediately, she said to Shi Sheng hurriedly: "Junior Brother Shi, the sect master has something urgent to ask me for. I'll go back first. Jiang Chen comes out. I hope you will be there tomorrow and don't hurt the harmony due to the duel. After all, we still have the great enemy of the Blood Shadow Sect. Unite and fight against foreign enemies are what you really should do!"
Shi Sheng respected Zi Xi quite much. After hearing this, Fang nodded slightly and thought to himself: Since Zi Xi has spoken, let Jiang Chen lie down for only three or five days tomorrow. This guy is considered a cheaper price.
Zixi's jade feet were light at this time, and the beautiful figure jumped into the air, then turned into a purple escape light and disappeared into the sky.
The crowds of onlookers began to dissipate, and several good disciples were even preparing to open the market to place bets. After all, the Heavenly Demon Sect has been in a tense war in recent years, and the sect has not held any activities, and everyone is so anxious.
Now a duel suddenly appeared, and the person involved was Jiang Chen, who was in the limelight recently, so how can he not make them excited?
...
After a moment, Zixi returned to the sect leader's mansion that had just left not long ago, but saw that it was not only her, but also the elder Zilou.
"Sect Master, what urgent matter happened? Call us in such an urgent situation?" Zilou was obviously very confused.
Tu Junde sighed and said, "Zilou, Zixi, do you know what happened in Jiangling?"
"Oh? What big thing happened to Jiangling again? Isn't it just that the internal struggle of the scattered cultivators' alliance continued?" Zi Xi said in a little surprised after hearing this.
"The internal struggle in the Random Cultivator Alliance has ended. The former leader Huang Yuantong died in battle, the deputy leader Wang Zijun disappeared, and the other deputy leader Kang Jianfei became the final winner and became the new leader of the Random Cultivator Alliance!" Tu Junde said that such a bombshell was thrown.
"What? The winner will be decided so quickly? Huang Yuantong and Wang Zijun should be stronger than Kang Jianfei!" Zixi couldn't help but look surprised after hearing this. Although she was in the Han Dynasty, she was also very concerned about the situation in northern Jingzhou. Civil strife in Jiangling City Cultivator Alliance happened several months ago. According to her previous estimate, she should have fought for at least several years.
Tu Junde sighed, "If there were no outsiders to intervene, Kang Jianfei would never have won the victory. However, he received strong assistance from the Five Poisons Sect and had great power. However, the evil demon sect that supported Huang Yuantong was attacked by the Baijie Sect and the Huoyun Sect. Not only could he not send people to support Huang Yuantong, but he also retreated the men who had already sent to Jiangling to protect his mountain gate..."
"What made Huang Yuantong's blood worse was that his old friend, Bai Poison Demon Lord, had already started two days before the civil strife, and rushed to Miaozhou overnight because he bought a heartless cup at the Jingzhou Trade Fair. This made him lose another big help. Therefore, under the joint attack of Kang Jianfei and the Five Poisons Sects who were prepared, he was unable to make up even if he had Wang Zijun's help."
Speaking of this, he paused for a moment. Then he continued, "After Kang Jianfei won, he immediately announced that the alliance of wandering cultivators gave up his past neutral position and formed an alliance with the Five Poison Sect, Baijie Sect, and Huoyun Sect. However, the evil demon Sect and Lingbeast Mountain did not admit it, saying that they only recognized the Huang family as the leader of the alliance of wandering cultivators."
"Although this incident has greatly changed the situation in northern Jingzhou, it has even caused five major sects including the Sha Yao Sect, the Five Poison Sect, the Baijie Sect, the Huoyun Sect, and the Lingbeast Mountain to be involved. However, it has not yet affected our Han Kingdom in a short period of time. However, one of the things that arise from this is very difficult for us to deal with..."
Zi Xi was listening attentively, and after Tu Junde said this, he was also a little surprised: "What else happened to the Jiangling City Cultivator Alliance turmoil?"
Tu Junde touched his long beard under his jaw and said, "That is Huang Xiuli, the daughter of Huang Yuantong, who has fled Jiangling. The whereabouts are unknown. But the deputy helm leader of Wunan City sent someone to report to me yesterday, saying that he found a masked woman named Huang and a servant to enter the Yuelai Inn in the city. The cultivation of the woman surnamed Huang cannot see clearly because of his mid-stage foundation building. However, the servant was in the late stage of foundation building. He was shocked..."
"And the servant registered his name in the inn was Wei Jingfeng, a ghost monk. He called the woman surnamed Huang the eldest lady. After checking, he found that Wei Jingfeng turned out to be a senior deacon in the Dispersed Cultivator League, belonging to the Huang Yuantong faction. So isn't the identity of this woman surnamed Huang about to emerge?" Tu Junde said in a deep voice.
"Sect Master, what do you mean is: Huang Xiuli came to our Han Kingdom?" Zi Xi's expression changed slightly after hearing this.
"Yes! Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence? It would be fine if Huang Xiuli had just passed by the Han Kingdom. She was afraid that she would stay here. But Kang Jianfei would never let him escape and become a big trouble for him. If he really found out that he was hiding in our territory, it would become a big trouble for our Tianmo Sect." Tu Junde said with a serious face.
Zi Xi and Zi Lou looked at each other, and both saw a deep sense of worry in each other's eyes. At that time, Kang Jianfei would definitely send people to enter the Han Kingdom to search and kill Huang Xiuli. If his side refused, he would inevitably have a great deal of fighting against the Alliance of Sins and Cultivators.
It's fine if it's just a Alliance of Dispersed Cultivators. Now the Alliance of Dispersed Cultivators has formed an alliance with the Five Poison Sects, the Hundred Tribulation Sect, and the Huoyun Sect. If you offend Kang Jianfei, you will offend the Five Poison Sects and other three factions. The camp of the Five Poison Sect is in the northern part of the Han Kingdom. At that time, wouldn't it just give others a justification to invade Han Kingdom?
Now, under the sudden rise of Jiang Chen's army, he will defeat the Corpse Yin Sect, which is raging in the northern part of the Han Dynasty. But if the front gate drives the tiger, the back gate welcomes the wolf, and crosses the Corpse Yin Sect, attracting a more powerful Five Poison Sect or the Alliance of Cultivators, wouldn't the rear of the Heavenly Demon Sect never have peace? How can you fight with the Blood Shadow Sect at that time? I'm afraid that the sect will usher in a catastrophe.
But it would not be a good choice to agree to Kang Jianfei's request. What if those people stayed in Han Dynasty on the grounds that they could not find Huang Xiuli? Then wouldn't they let a third force appear in the Han Dynasty after the Tianmo Sect and the Blood Shadow Sect?
"Sect Master, we can find Huang Xiuli before others and capture him. If Kang Jianfei asks to enter our country to search, we will immediately hand over Huang Xiuli, so that they will have no excuse to send people to our country!" Zilou thought for a while, and immediately came up with an idea.
"How can that be done? Isn't this showing weakness to the Alliance of Dispersed Cultivators?" Zi Xi immediately opposed it repeatedly after hearing this.
"Face is actually just a small matter. After the civil war, the strength of the Random Cultivator Alliance has become very weak, and their territory is not bordered by us. Although our Tianmo Sect has greatly declined, we are not afraid of them. If you really want to be afraid, you are actually only afraid of the Five Poison Sect."
Tu Junde sighed and said, "What is difficult now is: After learning that Huang Xiuli is still alive, he is also sending people to find her whereabouts and is preparing to support her as the new leader of the loose cultivator alliance. He has also issued a circular to several small sects around Jiangling City, saying that once Huang Xiuli is found, they will be notified immediately. It is estimated that this circular will be transmitted to Han Kingdom in the future. Do you think we dare to hand Huang Xiuli over to Kang Jianfei?"
Zi Xi and Zi Lou were speechless. The Sha Demon Sect is the largest sect in Jingzhou, with five Nascent Soul cultivators. It is said that Zhou Ling, the daughter of the head of the Sha Demon Sect, is still in love with Huang Xiuli. If the Heavenly Demon Sect really succumbed to Kang Jianfei's pressure and handed over Huang Xiuli, it would inevitably have a feud with the Sha Demon Sect. At that time, the other party sent two Nascent Soul Ancestors to come, but most of the top leaders of his side would die.
After pondering for a while, Zi Xi said with a slight thought: "Sect Master, this is actually a matter of taking sides. Judging from the current situation, Jingzhou has been divided into two factions, one is headed by the Demon Sect, and the other is headed by the Five Poison Sect. The Alliance of Sperm Cultivators, Spirit Beast Mountain, Baijie Sect and Huoyun Sect are just seeking one of them. Our Tianmo Sect is currently neutral and has not committed to either of them. However, if both sides really know that Huang Xiuli is in our country, we must make a decision."
Tu Junde also obviously understood this level. He could only sigh and said, "In the final analysis, my Heavenly Demon Sect is not as strong as others now! If it were when the Holy Ancestor was there, how could he have to do everything like today? Everything depends on the expression of others?"
At this time, Zilou comforted his sister and Tu Junde and said, "Sect Master, sister, you don't have to worry too much. The woman surnamed Huang who is still in Wunan City is just suspected that she might be Huang Xiuli. She still doesn't know if it was her intentional substitute to confuse the pursuers. Even if she really appears in the Demon City, we can find her and find her before the two major sects send a formal letter, and then send Huang Xiuli's gift out of the country! Isn't this avert the danger of both difficulties?"
Tu Junde and Zi Xi looked at each other and thought to themselves that this was still a solution.
So, the two nodded and said, "Things can only be like this..."
When the three giants of the Demon Sect were worried about Huang Xiuli, Jiang Chen focused on his speech and searched for information related to ants in the Sutra Library. The duel had been thrown behind him, and now he devoted himself to the search.
However, it is very hard to find this, for no other reason: because there is too much information. It is very laborious to find it, and it feels extremely inefficient.
