"It's so..."
After listening to Mu Guibai's narration, Zhan Tianxia was also surprised, and then his expression became complicated.
Are you angry? Of course you are angry. Sunset City was treated as a chess piece in this battle and suffered heavy losses. I don't know how many years it will take to recover.
Just reason told him that although Su Ding's plan was crazy, it was indeed the only feasible way at the moment.
Black Water Great Marsh has been managed by that old dragon for thousands of years and has been built to be impregnable. Killing it in its lair is simply harder than climbing to the sky.
The only way is Luring the Snake Out of Its Hole.
But that old dragon had suffered a loss once before, so it was hard for him to believe it using ordinary methods.
If Su Ding still has enough time, he can certainly make a better plan. Unfortunately, God has no mercy. If he doesn't kill him now, the entire Great Qi Cultivation World will be devastated in the future.
And Sunset City, as the peripheral barrier of Great Qi, is naturally not immune.
From this perspective, Su Ding can be regarded as saving Sunset City's life.
Although the old dragon was not killed in the end, it was seriously injured and could not recover at all within a few decades. Moreover, it suffered such a big loss this time, so it will definitely be more cautious in the future, and naturally it will be even less likely to attack Great Qi.
Once bitten by a snake, it will be afraid of ropes for ten years. Even if the news of True Lord Su Ding's death is released, it will not be believed.
In this way, Great Qi can achieve at least hundreds of years of stability.
Therefore, Zhan Tianxia didn't know whether to be grateful or angry for a moment, and his mood was very complicated.
On the top of the mountain, the two looked at each other in silence.
After a long time, Zhan Tianxia suddenly thought of the scene where Two Great Sects's disciples rushed into the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains. He couldn't help but look at Mu Guibai and said angrily, "It can't be that such a big battle is just to lure the old dragon out of the hole, right?"
Mu Guibai heard this and did not respond. Instead, he answered the question, "Junior brother, have you noticed that there are fewer and fewer strong men born from me, Great Qi?"
These words made Zhan Tianxia a little confused, but he thought about it carefully and found that this was really the case. Great Qi Cultivation World had more than ten Golden Core True Person at his peak, and he was at the forefront of several countries around him.
But after these years of development, not only are there fewer and fewer Golden Core True Persons, but even the total number of Purple Palace Cultivators has dropped a lot, otherwise they wouldn't be overwhelmed by the Hundred Thousand Great Mountainss and Demon Races.
You must know that the land they are stepping on does not originally belong to Human Race. It was opened up after Human Race defeated Demon Beast.
Whether it was during the reign of Human King or later when Golden Core Sects co-ruled Tianxia, Great Qi Cultivation World always suppressed Demon Race of the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains.
But this suppression is gradually weakening, and now it's even reversed.
This is a very unusual thing. Looking at the countries around Great Qi, the national power is getting stronger and stronger, and even if there are occasional troughs, they will recover quickly.
Only Great Qi slid down in a gentle manner.
Zhan Tianxia Suddenly I felt like I had caught something, but I couldn't be sure.
And Mu Guibai didn't expect him to answer. He put his hands behind his back, looked at the rolling Vast Wilderness mountains on the horizon, and said quietly, "That's because Great Qi's cultivation resources are increasingly depleted.
Originally, whether it was high-level spirit medicine or various types of mineral veins, they could all be regenerated. As long as they were properly planned, they could be mined continuously.
But when Great Qi was first established, it was surrounded by a pack of wolves. In order to gain a foothold here, the first Human King carried out destructive exploitation of rare domestic resources.
This situation has been going on for tens of thousands of years, and by the time we react, it has already caused irreparable consequences.
Although efforts have been made to save it in the following years, the increasingly depleted resources are an irreversible fact.
Every strong person is built on countless resources.
Once some resources are consumed, it will be difficult for Great Qi to give birth to another Golden Core Cultivator, and the consequences will be catastrophic.
In order to solve this problem, several True Person teamed up to formulate a plan, which is to open up new territories! "
After the words fell, Zhan Tianxia was shocked.
Yes, since there are no resources, we can only open up new territories like our ancestors.
As Great Qi Cultivation World faces the Demon Race living area, the only direction it can open up is Hundred Thousand Great Mountains.
There are countless resources contained in the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, which is a huge Treasure Vault. Especially the resources in mineral veins, Demon Beast is basically useless, and the reserves are very rich.
As long as it is controlled, Great Qi will no longer have to worry about resources for a long time in the future.
Similar arguments have actually appeared before, but Hundred Thousand Great Mountains and Demon Race are not weak, and they have never found a good opportunity.
But isn't now the best opportunity?
The herd of beasts besieged Sunset City for nearly a year, losing hundreds of thousands. In the previous battle, a million-strong army was wiped out in one fell swoop.
Moreover, Black Dragon Demon King was severely damaged, Thunderous Demon King fell, and dozens of Great Demon died.
The power of Demon Race in Black Water Great Marsh, Thunderous Mountain, and even the smaller half of the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains was almost wiped out.
As long as you plan properly and act steadily, the vast land of the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains will become the territory of Great Qi sooner or later!
"Junior brother, when Hundred Thousand Great Mountains is captured, Sunset City will no longer have to face the fangs of Demon Beast, and we will no longer have to follow the instructions of our ancestors and be trapped in a corner.
Thousands of Sunset City disciples no longer have to fight with Demon Beast, they will step onto a bigger stage and have a brighter future..." Mu Guibai's eyes were blurred, full of longing and expectation for that day.
Sunset City I have sacrificed too much for Great Qi in these years.
Zhan Tianxia suddenly felt a little confused. "Will that day really come?"
"In ten days, Heavenly Sound Mountain will hold a meeting. This is the list. Send someone to contact them."
After taking the thin list, Zhan Tianxia just glanced at it roughly, and was shocked. This was going to cause trouble...
Ten days later, an unprecedented meeting was held on Heavenly Sound Mountain. With deliberate connivance, the contents of the meeting were quickly passed on by spies from all forces, and instantly swept the entire Great Qi Cultivation World, triggering a major earthquake!
Song Changsheng had already sent a large number of the Wind Whisper Hall spies to Sunset City, so he learned the details of the meeting in the shortest possible time.
In fact, the content is very simple, that is, in the future, the two old Golden Core Force, Golden Crow Sect and Heavenly Meridian Sect, plus the new Golden Core Force Sunset City takes the lead, plus three powerful Violet Palace Forces, Heavenly Sword Sect, Gauze Washing Sect, and Hundred Herbs Hall, to form a team of the Coalition Army to fight against Demon Race of the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains.
The reason is the same as what Mu Guibai said.
No matter when, opening up new territories is an exciting and proud thing.
But Song Changsheng saw something different behind this incident. Although he didn't know Su Ding's secret plan, he was able to deduce it, and his previous conjecture came true.
Everyone was treated as a chess piece, and Song Clan was also the part that was going to be discarded. Fortunately, Song Clan successfully carried it over.
But unfortunately, they paid a heavy price for this.
However, compared to the previous time, Song Changsheng did not feel much angry, but only felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
If you are not strong enough, you can only be used as a chess piece, and your destiny will be controlled by the chess player.
If you want to get rid of the fate of being manipulated, you can only strengthen yourself and become the chess player on the chessboard.
Song Clan Don't wallow in grief and anger. Grief and anger are the most useless emotions in the world.
It should be transformed into strength and seek sufficient benefits for Lineage in this war as much as possible.
Song Changsheng has already thought about this.
Although several major forces formed Coalition Army, they have no intention of monopolizing the cake. Other forces and individuals can join in.
After winning the battle, you will be rewarded with Merit Points, including but not limited to Spirit Vein, mineral veins, etc.
Of course, if you have enough confidence in yourself, you can choose to leave Coalition Army and go it alone. Anyway, Hundred Thousand Great Mountains is very broad. As long as you don't go against the Coalition Army, you will be wrong no matter how much you eat.
It was from this point that Song Changsheng saw an opportunity.
In the entire Great Qi Cultivation World, the three states of Ling, Yang, and Xiang have the poorest resources, and Ling Province is the worst among them. Not only are there very few rare mineral veins, there is not even one that reaches the Third-Tier level.
Song Clan If you want to develop, you must have enough resources.
And this is a good opportunity.
Of course, Song Clan can no longer bear the trouble, so it is impossible for him to lead his tribe to join Coalition Army.
But this does not mean that they cannot pick up the slack. In the past few years, Coalition Army took the lead and fought with Demon Beast. By the time Demon Beast was defeated, Song Xianming should have successfully broken through.
At that time, Song Clan can take the opportunity to grab a few Spirit Mountain from every corner. As long as he can get a mineral vein of sufficient value, it will be enough for the Song Clan.
It's just that you need to be strong to make iron. In the past few years, Lineage's power must be improved as much as possible, and the batch of materials he brought back will be put to use.
Excluding those who are in retreat, Song Clan currently has seven people from Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
Among them, Song Xianyun is Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment, Song Changsheng and Song Luzhou are Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator, Xia Yunxue and Song Lutong are monks Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, and Song Chang'an and Song Changxuan are monks Foundation Establishment Early Stage.
Song Chang'an, Song Changxuan, Song Changsheng, and Song Lutong have all just broken through, and there is no possibility of improvement in a short period of time.
Only Song Luzhou and Xia Yunxue have perfected their cultivation and can seek breakthroughs.
When Song Changsheng returned from Yuanzhou, he handed over the two bottles of [Purple Void Pill] he purchased to them respectively.
Calculating the time, we should be out of seclusion soon.
At this moment, a deacon on duty outside Hall of General Affairs came in, bowed and said, "Young Clan Head, Song Qingluo are asking for an audience outside the hall."
Song Changsheng was stunned when he heard this, and then said with a bit of joy, "When did this kid come back? Let him come in."
He was very fond of this junior. Although his qualifications were not outstanding, he was diligent, clever, and had good understanding. If he was well cultivated, he would be a promising talent.
Soon, a thin young man walked in. Without waiting for Song Changsheng to speak, he held a Jade Slip in his hands and raised it above his head. He knelt down with a pop and said in tears, "Luo, meet Young Clan Head."
"Why is this? Get up and talk quickly." Looking at Jade Slip in his hand, Song Changsheng's heart skipped a beat, and there was an ominous premonition.
"This is the information that Sunset City stationed deacon Song Xiantu ordered me to bring back to Lineage. Please read it Young Clan Head!" Song Qingluo raised Jade Slip in his hand high.
He always remembered what Song Xiantu told him, and he must hand Jade Slip into the hands of Song Changsheng.
Song Changsheng quickly took it and put Jade Slip on his forehead.
"Old man, I pay my respects to Young Clan Head again. Today, Beast Tide is coming to the city. I am worried all day long. I am afraid that I am not going to die soon. I have the mission of Lineage, and I should stick to Lineage until the last moment.
However, among the old Bloodline Descendant, only Qing Luo has entered the path of immortality. He is still young. Although he has practiced hard, his talent is dull.
He is the one I worry about the most. If something unexpected happens to me, I boldly ask Young Clan Head to take care of me for the sake of sacrificing my life for Lineage. I will burst into tears with gratitude! "
After reading the contents, Song Changsheng suddenly stood up, stared at Song Qingluo and said, "How are the clan elders and Attendant Sun?"
Song Qingluo had already burst into tears, and he bowed down in tears. "Great Grandfather, Attendant Sun, and Wangyue Pavilion are all dead."
"Boom"
The news was like a bolt from the blue. He stumbled and almost collapsed on his seat.
"When did it happen? Why has no one ever told me?" Song Changsheng raised his head like a furious lion.
Since Heavenly Sword Sect's return, although Lineage has been busy with a lot of affairs, Song Changsheng has been very alert as long as the information comes from Sunset City, but no casualty report has ever been delivered to him.
This is abnormal, Song Xiantu not to mention, Sun Chuanming, as Lineage Chief Attendant, his status is comparable to that of elder Lineage. Who dares to conceal the news of his death?
At this moment, Song Luzhou walked in, looked at Song Qingluo kneeling on the ground, with a hint of guilt in his eyes, then looked at Song Changsheng and sighed, "This is what Luyao meant.
Luyao knew that Attendant Sun had preached to you, but at that time Sunset City was under heavy siege. Telling you would not help, and might even affect you, so he hid the matter. "
Song Changsheng was startled, and then his face was filled with a bitter smile. Yes, in Lineage, the only one who could hide it from him was Song Luyao, who was in charge of Lineage's intelligence.
Now that Song Luyao has died for Lineage, what can he say?
After calming down his mind, he helped Song Qingluo up, stroked his back and said, "Don't worry, I will personally go to Sunset City to welcome back the clan members and the enshrined remains."
Song Qingluo was moved when he heard this, but at the same time he held up his hands and advised, "Young Clan Head, now Lineage Fortune is in your hands. Bianzhou The war is still going on, so please consider it carefully."
"Yes, Changsheng, you are carrying the entire Lineage on your shoulders. If you are worried, I should go and take a look myself." Song Luzhou also offered words of comfort.
Song Changsheng heard this and shook his head firmly and said, "Gong, they sacrificed their lives for Lineage, privately, Attendant Sun is my teacher.
No matter what, I should take this trip myself. Besides, Sunset City will be the gateway for the Coalition Army to conquer Hundred Thousand Great Mountains. I should also go and see if I can make a profit for Lineage.
There is no need for you to persuade me, I have already made up my mind. "
