Chapter 929: The True Identity of the Mysterious Old Man
Less than an hour after the end of the retreat, Ye Zhen knew all the events that had happened in the past few days, as well as the causes and consequences of the injury of the sect leader Jian Qianxiong.
In the end, out of expansion considerations, Jian Qianxiong still let go of Tianluomen and destroyed Qingyun Castle.
Although Wu Mengshan, the master of the Tianluo Gate, is still there, he holds a Horcrux and is powerful, but as long as Jian Qianxiong is ruthless, there is still no problem in destroying the Tianluo Gate after paying a lot of casualties.
But the problem is that the casualties cost of destroying the Heavenly Sect are enough to greatly affect the expansion speed of the Sun and Moon God Cult.
Previously, the territory of Wanxing Tower had not been digested, and there were the territories of the Immortal Sect and Qingyun Castle, which was almost three times the territory of the Sun Moon Divine Sect before.
To digest these territories, a large number of people are needed, and they can't be the kind of new people, and they need old sect members who have a certain degree of loyalty to the Sun and Moon God Cult.
At present, they only occupy the territory of the Immortal Sect and Qingyun Castle, and the Sun and Moon Divine Sect are extremely difficult, and the two distant forces are in a state of abandonment for the time being.
If you make up your mind to destroy the Heavenly Romans again, and after losing some of your good hands, the territory you need to occupy will expand again, and if you swallow it like this, the Sun Moon Divine Sect may suffer from indigestion.
Moreover, the forces around Qinglan Wudu are not covered, and now they have all moved, once the Sun and Moon God Sect is not able to catch it, it will definitely invade by the trend.
The most important thing is that if he wants to destroy the Tianluo Gate, Jian Qianxiong does not have the full certainty of leaving the sect master Wu Mengshan.
Now escaping one Pei Wei is enough for Jian Qianxiong to have a headache, and if he escapes another Wumeng Mountain, it is estimated that Jian Qianxiong will not be able to sleep well.
That's a terrifying existence of two people with Horcruxes, and their combat power can easily kill the ordinary Kaifu Realm king.
Once there are such two terrifying beings outside, they are hiding in the shadows at any time and waiting for revenge, just like Ye Zhen did before, find an opportunity to secretly injure the high-level of the Sun and Moon God Sect one by one. The Sun and Moon Cult will be in chaos from then on.
To sum up, Jian Qianxiong made the decision to keep Tianluomen.
He took a group of masters to the Tianluo Gate in person, and made an offensive and defensive alliance with Wu Mengshan, the master of the Tianluo Gate, and the two sides made a divine soul oath.
For five years, the Heavenly Romans and the Sun and Moon Divine Cult are not allowed to go to war, for five years. If there is an invasion from a foreign enemy, the Celestial Romans and the Sun and Moon Cult must fight together.
Although Wu Mengshan, the master of the Tianluo Gate, understood Jian Qianxiong's intentions very well, this was the time to digest these territories and develop his strength in exchange for peace talks with them.
Perhaps in five years, it will be very easy for the Sun and Moon God Cult to destroy the Celestial Sect.
However, Wu Mengshan had to agree, and he couldn't help but agree.
Because Wu Mengshan knew very well that once he refused, the army of the Sun Moon God Sect would slaughter the Heavenly Sect Chief Rudder at all costs.
At the same time, this time, the alliance of the three major forces fought a decisive battle with the Sun Moon God Cult. Their Tianluomen strength was also greatly damaged, and only two of the four Kaifu Realm kings who participated in the battle escaped alive.
One of them was seriously injured, and there was no time for a year and a half, and the injury could not be recovered, and as for the other cultivator, who had just broken through to the Kaifu realm, he almost fell back to the Casting Vein Realm.
What's even worse is that more than half of the Casting Vein Realm martial artists, who are elite forces, were killed or injured. At the time of the battle, 7,500 Soul Sea Realm martial artists came back alive. Only about 3,500 people, the rest, were either killed or captured.
And all the warriors who came back alive were wounded.
The Celestial Gate itself also urgently needs a lot of time to recover.
Both sides have this need, and there is an offensive and defensive alliance.
signed an offensive and defensive alliance with Tianluomen, but his attitude towards Qingyun Castle was different.
Sect Leader Jian Qianxiong is determined to come to Qingyun Castle. Or even slaughter.
Just yesterday, Jian Qianxiong launched a big battle against Qingyun Castle, mobilizing more than 7,000 warriors, and most of the kings of the Kaifu Realm were dispatched.
The purpose is to slaughter Qingyun Castle!
Why slaughter?
This is related to the composition of the local force of Qingyun Castle, which is all the clansmen of the Yun family who are connected by blood.
This kind of family power is different from the ordinary Jianghu power. Generally, the forces of the rivers and lakes, such as the Immortal Sect, will be destroyed if they are destroyed, and there are very few people who are determined to avenge them.
But once someone escapes by chance, more than half of them may become revenge maniacs.
will avenge the family, will avenge the clansmen and relatives, and will do whatever it takes to avenge.
There were once several powerful families on the rivers and lakes, which were destroyed by the descendants of some families who escaped with their lives.
It was precisely for this reason that Jian Qianxiong wanted to completely slaughter Qingyun Castle.
The main thing is that the Sun Moon God Sect has killed the castle master of Qingyun Castle, that is, the current patriarch of the Yun Clan, Yun Chongxiao, which is a blood feud that cannot be resolved.
You can only kill!
From the heart of the matter, Ye Zhen felt that Jian Qianxiong's practice of slaughtering all the old and young was inhumane, but intellectually speaking, Jian Qianxiong's approach was correct.
And the cohesion of the family bloodline was also reflected when Jian Qianxiong destroyed the Yun family.
At that time, in order to cover the escape of several genius descendants of the Yun family, several unborn refining elders of the Yun family did not hesitate to directly use secret methods to burn their souls and detonate the origin of spiritual weapons one by one.
Jian Qianxiong was seriously injured at this time, and was directly detonated by the three Casting Vein Realm Refining Elders in a row two medium-grade spiritual weapons, one high-grade spiritual weapon, even though Jian Qianxiong had the protection of the Sun and Moon Altar, he was also hit hard.
And unfortunately, in the end, there was still a Yun family boy who managed to escape, and at present, the Sun and Moon God Sect is in full swing to hunt down this Yun family boy.
What's even worse is that in this battle, the Sun Moon Divine Sect and three Kaifu Realm kings were severely damaged, including the Ice Demon King Luo Ba, the Casting Vein Martial Artist Martial Artist killed fourteen people in battle, seriously injured twenty people, and the Soul Sea Realm Martial Artist died more than a thousand on the spot.
It can be said that there are heavy casualties, and how strong the cohesion of the family bloodline is, which can be seen.
At the same time, the Cult of the Sun and Moon began to expand massively during these days.
In just twelve days, more than thirty new altars were added, which was nearly double the number of altars of the Sun and Moon God Sect before.
Moreover, due to the rapid expansion of the territory, the main altar could no longer take care of everything, and the teaching affairs that flew like snowflakes to ask for instructions almost paralyzed the main altar of the Sun and Moon God Sect, and as a last resort, Jian Qianxiong quickly changed the structure of the Sun Moon God Sect.
Between the branch altar and the main altar, 12 more branch halls were added, each branch hall has jurisdiction over four to seven branch altars according to the surrounding area, and the guards of each branch hall expanded many matters, which were handed over to these twelve branch halls for overall arrangement, and even had the right to appoint and dismiss the owners of the branch altars, and the Divine Church directly controlled these twelve branches.
As a result, the positions of the hall masters and the twenty-four deputy hall masters of these twelve branch halls have become the hot positions in the Sun and Moon God Sect.
Almost everyone is competing for religion, and even the two deputy sect leaders, Yao Sen and Tian Guizhang, who have been much more low-key recently, also want to intervene.
That's what the mysterious old man said about the intrigue and everyone drilling camp.
However, the head of this first batch of branch halls was appointed by the sect leader Jian Qianxiong.
Ye Zhen didn't know anything else, but Hong Jiayin, the deputy city lord of Chihuo Martial City, who Ye Zhen had promoted before, and Li Jiang, were all appointed as one of the twelve hall masters.
As for Jiang Biao, he took over as the deputy city lord of Chihuo Martial City.
Ye Zhen estimated that Jian Qianxiong saw Ye Zhen hand over his Demon Slayer Yuan Rong to these three people to operate that day, and believed that these three people were Ye Zhen's cronies and intended to cultivate Ye Zhen's strength, so he made this arrangement.
According to the maid of Ye Zhen's house, Hong Jiayin came to see Ye Zhen in an emergency, but Ye Zhen had been in retreat and could not see him, so he left a jade letter to Ye Zhen and left.
Ye Zhen has read this letter, basically Hong Jiayin is showing his heart to Ye Zhen, and he will not forget Ye Zhen's promotion, if Ye Zhen has something, he will directly order him.
As for Jiang Biao and Li Jiang, that's not to mention.
What made Ye Zhen feel even more helpless was that there was one thing, and the mysterious old man was right again.
Although the sect leader Jian Qianxiong was seriously injured, he was busy with teaching affairs at the moment, and he still did not recuperate.
Instead, he deliberately pressed his injuries and summoned the top officials of the Divine Sect overnight to deal with various important tasks, and arranged the major events in the Church in the past few days, and only then did he go to retreat and heal his injuries in the afternoon.
Before the retreat to heal his wounds, he also sent a few messages in a row, if there was any important religious affairs, it could be decided by Ye Zhen and the elders.
I have to say that the mysterious old man is very accurate.
Ye Zhen, who had just finished the retreat, had to fall into cumbersome teaching affairs.
Although Ye Zhen has not clearly announced that he is the future sect leader now, as long as he is not a fool, he has already understood that Ye Zhen has become the heir of the sect leader.
It was not until the evening that Ye Zhen could be considered to have come out and wait for the arrival of the mysterious old man in the house.
"The old man is waiting for you at the Sun and Moon Altar, pay attention to hiding your tracks on the road, so as not to be discovered. ”
When this divine soul transmission sounded in the soul sea, Ye Zhen's body silently escaped into the ground, and fled straight to the direction of the Sun and Moon Altar.
It didn't take long for Ye Zhen to reach the bottom of the Sun and Moon Altar.
This time, Ye Zhen played a cautious eye and walked around the ground, wanting to see where the mysterious old man was, but Ye Zhen turned around several times, and Leng didn't find the mysterious old man.
A little discouraged, he escaped from the ground, and his mind searched again, but he still didn't find anything!
"Don't look for it, the old man is right behind you!"
Forehead, with a soft drink, Ye Zhen's cold hair exploded, and when he turned around suddenly, he saw a man in black who was a little shorter than himself, standing behind Ye Zhen, less than a foot away from Ye Zhen!
This distance made Ye Zhen chill.
Approaching a foot away from him, he hadn't even noticed it, and what was even worse was that before that, Ye Zhen had maintained a clear state of sword heart.
In other words, the person in front of him is as easy as taking Ye Zhen's life.
This situation is based on Ye Zhen's previous speculation, but the problem guess is speculation, and now that he has experienced it personally, it is another feeling, Ye Zhen's back was immediately soaked with cold sweat.
The moment he turned around, Ye Zhengong gathered his eyes and looked at the old man's face, wanting to see if the true identity of this mysterious old man was really as he guess......ed!
