Shendou Continent

Chapter 259
Although Qintai's blood feud was avenged for the annihilation of Xiaoxiang, the price paid was huge. A team of more than 400 people went out to fight, but less than forty survived, and the vitality of the Qintai sect was severely damaged.

Mysterious Realm fighter Qiu Muren, Mysterious Realm fighter Shangguan Hao, Mysterious Realm fighter Shuitian, senior Mysterious Realm fighter Nan Gongping, Mysterious Realm fighter Dugu Yuchen, and senior Mysterious Realm fighter Wang Liang died collectively. Only Qing Moutong, Dai Ming, Mu Ziyan and Fu Ming were the only ones.Moreover, in order to protect the child, Mu Ziyan was seriously injured, and she passed away soon after returning. This is another story.Below Xuanjing, only 30 people survived, Xiao Sanlang died, Zhang Xiaobao and Dai Yunong also died, and several apprentices brought by Nangong and his wife, Ding Chen, Wang Lei and Qing Ning were all killed.Among the eight hall masters of Qintai, only one Fu Ming survived.After this battle, the Qintai sect may be silent for another 20 years.

Among these people, it goes without saying that Mu Ziyan, who met at the beginning of the fifteenth year, was the love of Lin You's life.And Nangong Ping was Lin You's teacher and his aunt. She was both a teacher and a mother to him. Her departure would be a blow to Lin You.Apart from Nan Gongping, he watched Zhang Xiaobao grow up, Xiao Sanlang was his brother-in-law, an old friend, and Dugu and his wife. When he recalled seeing Dugu for the first time, he felt infinitely sad, and the tears on his face couldn't stop down.Compared with Lin You, Dai Ming is not much better. Dai Yunong is his cousin and the only relative of his mother's family. Chen Jiao has already left. He has suffered once, and now this poor cousin has also left. Why? Tell him not to mourn?Fortunately, Xiaobao and Yunong are both married and have a son under their knees, and Dugu and his wife also left a child, which can be regarded as a hope.Thanks to the protection of the adults, Lingyun, Xiaoxing, Xiaoyue, Xiaochen and Sanlang's son all survived, which can be regarded as keeping the fire for the Qintai sect.

After cleaning the battlefield, Lin You sent someone to find a treasured geomantic place nearby to bury Xiaobao and other disciples of Qintai and several disciples of Qing Mutong besides Yunong.Then, he personally mopped up the Xiaoxiang Sect, took away some of the treasures that the opponent had not had time to transfer, and then destroyed the Xiaoxiang Ancestral Temple, Xiaoxiang Hall, Chucai Hall and other buildings that symbolized the Xiaoxiang Sect. , together with Xiaoxiang's disciples who died in battle, were burned together.For the quietly evacuated Xiaoxiangmen and high-ranking fighters like Liu Zhongquan, they are now unable to chase around with the strength of their Qintai, and Guangchu is about to destroy the country. went.After dealing with these funeral matters, Lin You took the remaining disciples, Qing Mutong took Nangong Ping, Qinghong took Zhang Xiaobao, Xie Wanjing took Xiao Sanlang, Dai Ming took Dai Yunong, and finally set off to return to the sect.

On the way back, Lin You heard that the nearby Nanling army was attacking the Guangchu defenders.Thinking that the culprit who wiped out Qintai was the Guangchu royal family, his blood surged, and he almost wanted to take a detour to join the battle. Fortunately, he was persuaded to leave, and Mu Ziyan was seriously injured, so he couldn't leave.Along the way, the territory of Guangchu was in turmoil, the people scattered and fled, all industries withered, and the scene was very different from before.When they entered the Yingzhou jurisdiction again, Ouyue's flag had already been planted on the top of the city here.

At the beginning of November, two months had passed since the battle of Xiaoxiang's revenge, Lin You's love of life, Mu Ziyan, a fighter in the Profound Realm, finally stopped breathing.In the battle of Xiaoxiang, she had already exhausted her vitality, and she had to hold on for two months, and she closed her eyes forever in the place where she stayed with her husband.Fighters are not gods, and Lin You is also helpless this time. During the few days when Mu Ziyan was dying, he never left him at all. His eyes were already red and bleeding... Soon, he buried Mu Ziyan Yan, buried her near Chen Jiao, leaving her own place beside her.

At the time of the winter solstice, Guangchu was surrounded by all sides, but he was still struggling.On this day, Lin You bathed and changed his clothes, and led all the disciples of the Qintai Sect to pay homage to the disciples who died in Guangchu.On the same day, he also prayed in the ancestral temple, telling the martyrs of Qintai that they had completely wiped out the Xiaoxiang sect, and soon Guangchu would also perish.
In the twelfth lunar month, he and Dai Ming went to Wuyun Gate to pay homage to their masters, Nangong Ping and Zhang Xiaobao, who were buried in the back mountain of Ziyun, as well as Nangong Yun.Afterwards, they bid farewell to Qing Mu Tong Qing Hong and others, and they went to Hangjing again, and accompanied by Wan Jing, they paid homage to Xiao Sanlang who was buried in Xiao's ancestral grave in the suburbs.Then in the capital, he entered the palace to meet Emperor Jiayou and discussed the Guangchu War.I learned from Emperor Jiayou that the Ouyue army has already attacked near Xu Jing, but Guangchu is still struggling. The four holy fighters under the jurisdiction of the Guangchu court are all activated in Xu Jing, and there are many kings in various places. It may be difficult to conquer Ouyue with the strength of Ouyue alone.Now that the New Year is approaching and the weather is cold, the siege of the city should not be rushed. It is better to wait for the armies of the three kingdoms to assemble, to encircle but not attack, and plan slowly.Lin Youshen took it for granted, saying that he would also join the war in the spring.

Back to Zongmen, it is time to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new.But this year's New Year's Eve is especially difficult for everyone on the Qintai.So just after the third year of junior high school, Lin You took Fu Ming and a few disciples to Xu Jing. He wanted to bury Guangchu with his own hands and complete the great cause of revenge.Dai Ming originally wanted to go with him, but in the battle of Xiaoxiang, the strength of Qintai was greatly damaged, and there must be an expert in the sect. He is undoubtedly the most suitable elder, so he can only give up.Lin You didn't take the juniors like Ling Yun with him either. The battle of Xiaoxiang made him a little scared, and he didn't dare to let the juniors take risks anymore.

When he arrived at the outskirts of Xu Jing, Xu Jing had already been surrounded by the armies of the three countries.Guangchu asked for help everywhere, but the other major empires just watched from the sidelines, and those vassal states that were originally attached to it did not dare to send troops easily. In the current scene, the soldiers sent will probably never return.On the other hand, the Holy See only sent people into Guangchu to rescue the victims, and ignored the rest.

Under such circumstances, Xu Jing struggled for another two months.During this period, Lin You took the initiative to ask for a battle, joined forces with the various siege commanders, and fought with the several saints guarding Guangchu across the air, back and forth with each other.

In May, the people besieging Guangchu had no intention of withdrawing their troops, but the troops of King Qin in various places in Guangchu were fighting less and less, and no empire was willing to help.

After another month, Lu Yonghao, Emperor Chongming of Guangchu who was already seriously ill, finally couldn't hold on and returned to the west.Emperor Chongming had no heirs, and although he had appointed an heir during his lifetime, turmoil broke out in Guangchu soon after internal and external troubles.Then, the heir was killed, the defenders opened the city gate and surrendered, and Xu Jing fell. The 500-year-old Guangchu Empire collapsed in the blink of an eye...

The armies of the three countries quickly seized the territory, intending to carve up Guangchu.Taking advantage of the fall of the Guangchu regime, the neighboring Xishu and Mengliao also sent troops to seize some land.I thought that Guangchu would just disappear and be annihilated in the long river of history, but at this time the Holy See stepped forward.It can tacitly allow the three families to carve up Guangchu, but Xu Jing and the surrounding area must be returned to the descendants of the Lu family of Guangchu. Guangchu can be downgraded to a vassal state, but it must continue to exist.

The Holy See has always had a tradition of maintaining the balance of power on the mainland. If the Holy See hadn't acquiesced this time, the countries would not have been able to capture Guangchu smoothly.As for the terrifying power of the Holy See, no empire would dare to easily offend it. In addition, Guangchu was wiped out by several families together, and the disorderly distribution of benefits would inevitably cause a storm.In this way, facing the request of the Holy See, the three countries had no choice but to agree.However, it is required that a relative of the Lu family other than the three generations of Emperor Chongming must be selected to succeed to the throne, so as to prevent future vassal states from retaliating.

As for Guangchu's heir, the parties were uncertain for a long time, but in the end Lin You came forward and persuaded the Holy See and Ouyue to recommend Lu Dahu who was far away in Shutong Kingdom.Calculated, this Lu Dahu is of the same generation as Emperor Guangchu Tianbao, the same great-grandfather, and they are both royal orthodox, but because of his failure to seize power, he has long been marginalized, and he is already a three-generation commoner. Satisfying the wishes of the Holy See can also minimize the concerns of the three countries.In this way, Lin You's proposal was passed.It's just that when they found Shutong Kingdom, they found that Lu Dahu had passed away long ago, so Lu Ling, his and Liu Jia's child, naturally became the candidate for Guangchu's new monarch.

In this way, the three families divided the Chu, and the two ate away, splitting the huge Guangchu Empire into six parts at once.Under the auspices of the Holy See, Guangchu Xu Jing and the surrounding areas returned to the Guangchu royal family and established a new Chu vassal state, but this new monarch is not a descendant of Emperor Li Wu, but the son of Liu Jia, who has an old relationship with Lin. In this way, Lin If there is, it is considered a big revenge.The area around Jiangzhou belonged to the Ouyue Empire, and Lin You also took the opportunity to eliminate Qingfeng faction and Hongshanmen, and clean up the sect.The area around Shazhou belonged to Nanling, the area around Shizhou belonged to Hanhai, and Mengliao and Xishu also took the opportunity to grab some land.After the reshuffle, the situation in the mainland has changed from the eight great empires to a situation in which the seven heroes of the mainland are competing.It's just that among the seven heroes, there are also the Holy See and many vassal states...

When the autumn wind blows in the year [-] of the holy calendar, the land of Shaozhou is filled with the fragrance of flowers and fruits again.In front of a grave in the back of Cangshan Mountain, a middle-aged man was standing silently, staring at the inscription in a daze, without making a sound or moving.Seven big characters are engraved on the tablet: Tomb of beloved wife Mu Ziyan.

He stood quietly, watched quietly, and let the time pass quietly, until the sunset, the afterglow of the setting sun shone on his back, casting a long figure, just like in the long years The time is the same, long and long...

　It's all over!Thanks for attention!
