Chapter 357: White Pond Mountain
The western peak of Chi Mountain was a little bigger than Han Li had imagined.
There is not only an ancient temple built on the top of the whole peak, but also more than a dozen large and small stone pavilions, and there are already groups of immortal cultivators talking in it.
Outside, of course, the pavilions and monasteries were just as sparsely populated as monks.
It seems that this Baichi Mountain gathering has already arrived early in a hurry.
Han Li looked over the peak for a while before circling around and landing on a remote corner of the peak.
Han Li then took the Qu Soul and casually walked towards several nearby stone pavilions.
With Han Li's powerful divine sense, he could clearly hear the content of the monks in the stone pavilion in a short time.
In one of them, a stone pavilion with four immortal cultivators talking at length, entered Han Li's eyes.
Han Li listened a little and said that what he was talking about was the battle between the Seven Sects of the Yue Kingdom and the Demon Dao, and he couldn't help but perk up, and walked over without hesitation.
"This defeat of the Demon Dao, not only were the six factions of the Yue Kingdom forced to flee their homeland one after another, but even our two countries, Yuanwu and Zijin, will face great disasters in the future. Now it depends on whether the next step of the Demon Dao is to attack our Yuanwu first, or to attack Zijin. The pale-faced middle-aged man among the four said with a sigh.
"Yes, in the last war, of course, the strength of the six factions was greatly damaged. The monks of the two countries who went to help the fist also lost fifty or sixty percent! This time, the Heavenly Star Sect and other immortal sects are going to be in a hurry!" another young man in his twenties answered gloatingly.
Hearing the young man's words, the two old men of the other three looked as usual and did not react. But the middle-aged man who had just started to speak couldn't help but smile bitterly a few times, and wanted to say something more with one mouth.
But at this moment, someone else's voice came from the side.
"I'm afraid that the Heavenly Star Sect and other major factions are certainly embarrassed, and the lives of our scattered cultivators and immortal cultivation families will become even more difficult. The people in the Demon Dao pay attention to the set of the weak and the strong. We won't be as relaxed as we are today. Han Li walked over slowly, but the original meaning of the middle-aged man's wry smile came out of his mouth.
When the four of them heard that there were outsiders nearby, they were startled at first, and immediately fell silent.
But after discovering that he couldn't see Han Li's cultivation. Several people showed a hint of uneasiness on their faces, and they all stood up and saluted Han Li respectfully. The middle-aged man hurriedly wanted to excuse the young man and said:
"This senior, Yu Xian's nephew just said it casually, but he didn't have the slightest disrespect for the various factions. Don't be surprised by the seniors!"
These few people actually regarded Han Li as a high-ranking cultivator of the Immortal Sect of the Yuanwu Kingdom.
The young man's expression was equally nervous.
"Hehe, don't misunderstand, a few fellow Daoists. I'm just doing a casual remark. Han Li smiled and explained gently.
Several people heard Han Li say this. That's when I put my mind at ease. Although he didn't know whether Han Li's identity was true or false, it was very clear that the other party did not investigate the meaning of his reckless words just now.
So in the midst of greeting a few people, Han Li also sat down at the stone table in the pavilion.
"My predecessors were able to come here. It's an honor for me to wait for the younger generations. But with the cultivation of the seniors, how could they participate in such an exchange?" asked the red-faced old man with the deepest cultivation among the four, with some restraint.
It's no wonder that this person is so surprised, you must know that it is generally difficult for such a small local gathering in Baichi Mountain to attract monks in the foundation building period. If the high-level monks communicate, there will naturally be other higher-level gatherings.
"Some time ago, I had been cultivating in a barren mountain not far from here. It was only not long ago that I heard the news of the defeat of my country's monks in the Yue Kingdom, and I felt that there was going to be a big change in the immortal cultivation world, so I went out to the mountain to find out the news. Do you have any news about the Demon Dao and the Yue Kingdom?" Han Li said lightly.
Hearing Han Li say this, the four of them looked at each other for a moment. But immediately three of them looked at the other thin old man.
"If you want to be well-informed, of course, you have to count Brother Ding, after all, the Ding family has many secular properties directly in Yueguo!"
The other two also agreed in unison, which made Han Li hear this, and a different color flashed in his eyes.
Seeing this, a trace of embarrassment appeared on the face of the old man surnamed Ding. I had to open and said helplessly:
"Our Ding family's children in Yue have indeed recently sent back some of the latest information about Yue to our family. Originally, these news didn't want to be spread in the family, but since several of them were Ding's close friends, this senior also wanted to know something, so let's talk about it below! Please also ask a few people not to leak it easily. ”
Hearing the words of the old man surnamed Ding, the other three couldn't help but perk up, and said yes again and again.
So, the old man coughed lightly, and said slowly:
"I just received news a few days ago that the current country of Vietnam is very chaotic. Although the Demon Dao defeated the coalition forces of the six factions. However, there are still many monks of the six factions who have retreated from the country and have not left the Yue Kingdom, but have relied on the terrain to constantly attack the people of the Demon Dao, and I heard that there are still a few monks in the Yudan period who have not evacuated, which makes the people of the Demon Dao a little busy and tired. After all, monks in the Dan stage are not so easy to deal with. In addition, the six factions have taken root in the Yue Kingdom for many years, and the potential power is still not small, so it is still a bit spicy to let the Demon Dao take over the Yue Kingdom Immortal Cultivation Realm. ”
"And the immortal cultivation family of the Yue Kingdom is now divided into three attitudes, one saw that the six factions were defeated, and immediately defected, and took the initiative to submit to the six sects of the Demon Dao. The other was because he was too close to the six factions, and he was afraid that the demon dao would settle the accounts, so he simply withdrew from the Yue country like the six factions. The last type of family is still in the wait-and-see stage, ready to see the situation. ”
"And the seven factions have occupied the important sect land for many years, I heard that except for the Occult Moon Sect and the Giant Sword Sect, which have not been broken by the six sects of the Demon Dao, the other four factions have been completely occupied. However, it is said that there are very few things seized, and most of the rare items have been taken away by the disciples evacuated by the six factions. ”
"In my opinion, the Demon Dao can't stabilize the Yue Kingdom for a day, and they won't attack our country or Zijin for a day. After all, no matter how many people they have, they occupy two small countries and one medium-sized country at once, and I am afraid they will not be able to take care of it. That's why there is no way to take those monks of the six factions who keep making trouble. ”
The old man slowly uttered the above words and revealed some of his own opinions.
"Brother Ding, how long do you estimate that the Demon Dao can leave us with a respite, and now can the various factions in our country still resist each other's attacks?" The red-faced old man on the side couldn't help but interject and asked.
After all, what I know is only superficial news, and I am afraid that only the high-level leaders of the various factions know what the real truth is. The old man surnamed Ding shook his head and said, and glanced at Han Li secretly.
Obviously, he still thought that Han Li was a monk of a certain sect in his country, so what he said was a bit secretive.
Then, the old man surnamed Ding didn't seem to want to continue talking about the issues related to this, so he suddenly smiled and said something that surprised Han Li.
"This time, because the six factions of the Yue Kingdom evacuated in a hurry, they all adopted the method of gecko tail cutting, and only took away the elite disciples with better qualifications in the sect, so that many other disciples were sacrificed in the dark. The most ruthless one is said to be a high-level official in Huang Feng Valley. In order to allow the elite of their true henchmen to escape from the Yue Kingdom in peace, they even sacrificed two groups of disciples in a row, which was almost all the monks except for the disciples evacuated by Huang Feng Valley. Tsk, the means are really amazing!"
Although the old man said carelessly, Han Li's heart suddenly sank when he heard this, and his face changed slightly.
However, fortunately, no one else dared to keep an eye on Han Li, so no one noticed his strange expression.
"Ding Daoyou, what is the matter with the Huang Feng Valley that you said sacrificed two batches of disciples?"
"Hehe, since the seniors asked, the juniors naturally said it truthfully. Here's the thing, I heard that as soon as the high-level leaders of the Yue Kingdom received the news of the defeat at the front, they immediately came up with a trick to get the golden cicada out of its shell. They first let a group of disciples in the door evacuate first, but secretly leaked the news to the spies of the Demon Dao, saying that these disciples were the elite of their Yellow Maple Valley, and brought a large number of spirit stone raw materials and other property. Let the pursuers of the Demon Dao be completely attracted. At the same time, another group of disciples who were kept in the dark were left in the door, allowing them to use the large array to form a confrontation situation with the remaining people in the Demon Dao. With these two groups of disciples attracting all the attention of the enemy, the upper echelons of Huang Feng Valley let the true henchmen elite disciples, with thousands of years of savings in the sect, retreat from the opposite direction. ”
"I heard that although the number of people who retreated safely in Yellow Maple Valley was the smallest, they were the easiest way to evacuate from the six factions. Although the other five factions gathered their men together and retreated, they were still caught up by the pursuers one after another, and fought many battles. A lot of possessions have fallen into the hands of the demons. This matter has been tricked because of the Demon Dao, so it has been widely spread in the Yue Kingdom Immortal Cultivation Circle. The old man didn't dare to slack off and told Han Li about it.
"Oh! Those abandoned disciples of Huang Feng Valley are really stupid!" Han Li's expression remained unchanged as he whispered slowly.
