It was already three days since Chen Huaisheng returned to Shanmen.

He finally accepted Wu Tianen's suggestion and retreated to the mountain gate first.

It’s not that the Chonghua Sect cannot survive without a certain person, not to mention that Chen Huaisheng is just a high-level Qi refining disciple.

The instability of the spiritual state, coupled with the need to recover after severe injuries, does not mean that he is afraid of battle. If he really was afraid of battle, Chen Huaisheng would not take the initiative to provoke this battle, and he would take a risk and win.

After this battle, Chen Huaisheng also deeply realized how weak his high-level Qi refining strength, which was particularly dazzling among his peers, was in front of the foundation-building monks.

The enemy will not let you go just because you are young and weak, but will only prioritize you for killing.

Just like when he saw the other four people, he immediately made a tacit agreement with Wang Yao to kill the Yuelu Sect's sixth level Qi refining first.

There is no foundation in this world, so you really don't dare to wander around in Hebei.

From Yuelu Sect, Tianhe Sect and Youzhou Ning Family, these forces are gradually becoming enemies. Even a chance encounter may turn into a killing battle.

Returning to the mountain gate, Chen Huaisheng was immersed in the understanding of the eighth level of Qi Refining, and he temporarily put aside the twelfth level of thunder method.

This time's advancement to the spiritual realm was a little unexpected, and I felt a little confused, so it was completed.

Even Chen Huaisheng himself felt a little unsteady. He needed to stabilize and sort things out.

Borrowing external power to pour in, the three spirits accepted it and washed and baptized the spiritual roots of the Taoist bones. This method was too risky and radical, and almost shattered the entire cauldron and the Taoist bones and recast them. The three spirits also withstood an unprecedented impact.

, it’s all a bit too much.

The Winged Fire Snake suffered a head-on blow when it first emerged from the fledgling. It is still in a comatose state most of the time, but it has been able to wake up for a small amount of time.

The scales that were cut off were still in the recovery stage, which also made it more in need of spiritual plants, which made Chen Huaisheng even more anxious now. It looked like this thing would definitely not be able to withstand the new season's harvest of spiritual plants.

We have to find other ways to supplement it, otherwise this guy will be useless.

Min Qingyu simply went directly to Tangshui Road to help acquire the Red-Eyed Exquisite Rabbit and Tianyang Rat.

On August 16, the Battle of Weihuaidao, which lasted for nearly a month, finally came to an end.

The main battlefields of this war were on the northern and central fronts, while the southern front where Chen Huaisheng and others participated was not so intense.

After the Chonghua faction joined the battle, the two sides fought more than ten battles, each with more than fifty casualties, and nearly twenty people killed.

It sounds like the number of casualties is not high, but you must know that these killed are basically high-level Qi refining and foundation-building monks, who can be said to be the backbone of each sect. After a month of fighting, nearly twenty people were killed.

, it is an unbearable burden for any sect.

Especially since there is still a Tianhe Sect with an unclear attitude, who has been watching the tiger from the north, sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, which makes Yuelu Sect and Chonghua Sect feel like a thorn in the back, and it is difficult to rest assured.

No one wants to fight this battle, but we have to fight it.

The Yuelu Sect could not tolerate the Lingyun Sect to establish a foothold in Dahuai Mountain, and then occupied Weihuaidao, blocking its eastward advance.

The Chonghua Sect cannot tolerate the Yuelu Sect defeating the Lingyun Sect in such a clear-cut manner. This will set a dangerous example in the future where all sects from Da Zhao will be besieged by local sects in Hebei.

"Senior Brother Xu, Senior Brother Yao, and Senior Brother Kunyang sacrificed their lives to get such a result?"

Chen Huaisheng was somewhat unable to accept such an ending. Although he had long known that this war would eventually end, the hasty withdrawal of troops still made him panic.

Xu Muyang died of serious injuries. Yao Liwei, Li Kunyang and three other high-level Qi Refining disciples died on the spot. Ma Daochun and Wu Tianen were both seriously injured. The Chonghua Sect really paid a price in blood in this battle.

Lingyun Sect suffered even more heavy losses. Qi Hongkui was injured and fell to the Zi Mansion. It is not yet certain whether he can recover.

Among Lingyun Sect's remaining six foundation-building monks, three were killed in battle, one was seriously injured, and two were slightly injured. Among the high-level Qi Refining monks, nine were killed, seven were seriously injured, and more than ten were slightly injured. Almost all of them were injured.

.

For both sides, the fight was impossible. Both sides' Zi Mansion suffered serious injuries, and the high-level disciples of Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining suffered heavy losses. If the fight continued, the Tianhe Sect might take the opportunity to steal their homes.

But even Yao Liwei died in the battle, and he was a direct disciple of the sect leader. Isn't there an explanation?

Wu Tianen's face turned gray and he leaned back in his chair. He was also seriously injured and it took him three to five months to recover.

"The fight can't go on, what can we do if we don't stop?" Wu Tianen said expressionlessly, "Huaisheng, I think the result you originally predicted has been achieved. The Yuelu Sect has indeed given in, and did not say that it must completely defeat the Lingyun Sect.

The only requirement for expelling Wei Huai Dao from Dahuai Mountain is that Lingyun Sect cannot destroy the original structure in Wei Huai Dao. If those sect families are unwilling to submit to Lingyun Sect, Lingyun Sect cannot force them to force each other..."

"But such a restraint is like a noose tied to the Lingyun Sect. How long can the Lingyun Sect hold on?" Chen Huaisheng sneered, "Even if it can recruit disciples even if it can't collect gifts, how can the Lingyun Sect support these disciples?

Just rely on the produce from Dahuaishan Mountain Gate?"

Wu Tianen pondered for a while, "Even without this provision, Lingyun Sect would not be able to persist."

Chen Huaisheng was stunned for a moment, then he came to his senses: "Lingyun Sect is going to be merged into our Chonghua Sect? Is this for our Chonghua Sect?"

"Well, Qi Hongkui's condition is not very good now. Although it cannot be said that he will fall directly to the Zifu, but even if he can recover, it will probably take a lot of effort. They are leaderless, and they have suffered huge losses in foundation building. Basically, they can no longer support a single person.

It’s a sect, the Nine Lotus Sect has done a lot of harm to people!”

Wu Tianen couldn't help but cursed Jiulian Sect through gritted teeth.

Chen Huaisheng thought the same thing in his mind. If Jiulian Sect hadn't given Lingyun Sect so much hope, how could Lingyun Sect dare to choose Dahuaishan, a place for the Fourth Battle?

The conditions are good, but can you eat it?

Without Jiulian Sect's empty promise, Lingyun Sect might have chosen Wolong Ridge or other places. It's good that it ended up like this.

Thinking about the prosperous scene of Lingyun Sect when he was in Yiyang Mansion a few years ago, and then looking at Lingyun Sect now, this feeling makes even Chen Huaisheng feel sad.

"Did Lingyun Sect agree?" Chen Huaisheng couldn't help but ask.

From this point of view, it seems that the battle of the Chonghua faction is worth the money.

Even though the entire Lingyun Sect suffered heavy losses, it still had at least hundreds of disciples and several foundations.

Qi Hongkui seems to still have a chance to keep the Zi Mansion, and it is uncertain whether Wan Tianjun, the other leader who fell from the Zi Mansion, can return to the Zi Mansion in the future, but at least he still maintains a level above the foundation building level.

The addition of such a force is far behind the original strength of the Chonghua Sect, but it can supplement a lot. Moreover, with the addition of the Ding family, and now that the Lingyun Sect has joined again, it seems that this can be regarded as a kind of balance?

"So what if I don't agree?" Wu Tianen's face was complicated. "Qi Hongkui told Senior Brother Zhu frankly after he was injured that the Lingyun Sect could not survive, but he could not bear to have so many disciples living in foreign lands and hoped to be able to join the Chonghua Sect.

merge,……"

"Merge? This word is just a cover-up, right?" Chen Huaisheng also sighed sadly, "Qi Hongkui is also a sensible person. In fact, sects like ours have been around for thousands of years, just like our cave before Wolong Ridge.

Just like Xuanzong, who is stronger than our Chonghua sect, hasn’t it been passed down and lost in the long river of history?”

Of course Wu Tianen understood this, "Senior Brother Zhu talked with the head brother when he came back, and the head brother has basically agreed. At that time, the deacons' meeting and the elders' meeting may be held to discuss the matter..."

"What about Dahuaishan and Weihuaidao?" Chen Huaisheng was more concerned about the situation in Dahuaishan.

In terms of itself, the conditions of Dahuaishan should be better than those of Wolong Ridge. Should it be given to Yuelu Sect? Then the gain would outweigh the loss.

"This is also one of the conditions negotiated with the Yuelu Sect. Dahuai Mountain will still remain in our hands, but I'm afraid the scale will be greatly reduced, and it will not develop on the Weihuaidao side. We will just keep this mountain gate."

Wu Tianen also wanted to hear Chen Huaisheng's opinion: "Huaisheng, what do you think our sect should do with Dahuaishan?"

"Building a lower courtyard like Baita City?" Chen Huaisheng also found it a bit tricky.

If the Lower Court was to be built, it would mean being directly oppressed by the Yuelu Sect, and at least one True Lord of the Purple Mansion would need to be stationed there, which would distract the sect's own strength.

As far as the current situation is concerned, it is really not suitable for the Chonghua Sect to spread its power too thinly. Wolong Ridge is large enough to be united together. It is important to build up one's own strength first before talking about anything else.

"They also discussed building a lower courtyard, but Dahuaishan is different from Baita City. Firstly, the distance is too far, and some are out of reach. If something happens, they won't be able to catch up here for fear of something happening. Secondly, there are no suitable manpower to guard it.

There are only three people in the Zi Mansion, so we can't let Senior Brother Ding go, right?" Wu Tianen shook his head, "If Senior Brother Li Yu can enter the Zi Mansion, maybe it can, but now..."

"Then it can only be used as a temporary Taoist temple." Chen Huaisheng mused: "It is said that Dahuai Mountain is full of aura and fertile soil, so it can be operated as a station of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It is nothing more than some Taoist species and sects.

It only takes a few middle-level qi-refining people, and even if they lose, it doesn’t matter, but I don’t believe that Yuelu Sect or Tianhe Sect would attack a bunch of old people who are in the middle-level qi-refining level?”

Wu Tianen's eyes lit up.

This is a good idea.

The area around Dahuaishan is indeed a good place to develop the farming industry. All conditions are good, and there is no need to deal with local clans. As Chen Huaisheng said, it only needs a large group of Taoists and even mortals to run the business, which is equivalent to

The logistics base of the mountain gate on Wolong Ridge.
