Family practice: all members of the villain

Chapter 129 Undercurrent
Sacred Heart Residence, third floor
Three hours had passed since Yan Sannu was killed. It was already dark. In an elegant guest room to the east, Lian Ningxue in a light green dress was leaning against the window, holding a glass of wine in her hand and looking at her. Ethereally looking north.

Suddenly, a breeze blew by. Lian Ningxue withdrew her eyes and looked behind her. In the originally empty guest room, a middle-aged swordsman with a thin face appeared at some point. It was Zhang Yuning from the Pingtian Sword.

Zhang Yuning's face was slightly ugly. He picked up the wine glass on the table and took a sip. He said in a low voice: "The three people left the city and left separately. I followed Fang Longxiang for less than ten miles, and he was actually beside me. Disappeared under the nose!"

Lian Ningxue's face suddenly showed a hint of surprise when she heard this, and said: "A heaven-level grandmaster can disappear under your nose?"

Zhang Yuning was obviously a little bit unbelievable. He was at the Great Perfection level of the Yuan Dan Realm. He should be more than capable of following a heaven-level grandmaster, but the scene just now couldn't be faked.

"It's really unbelievable, but Fang Longxiang's method is really weird. He ordered people to go separately. He must have known that someone was following him. I originally hung about a hundred meters behind him, which could be observed with the naked eye. After following him for ten miles, he stopped at the same place. After three breaths, he turned into a wisp of smoke and disappeared. I have never seen such a weird person!"

Lian Ningxue pondered for a moment, as if she had thought of something, a gleam flashed in her eyes, and said quietly: "They may not be human."

Zhang Yuning was taken aback, and said: "Monster? No way, they don't have the aura of demons on them, and as far as I know, this is not their first time. They have all appeared in Wanyang County, Yinling County, including Tongling before. I have never heard of them leaving any traces of monsters. This is an assassination organization seeking money. This time, they are only cooperating with monsters..."

Having said that, Zhang Yuning paused for a moment, and then a look of doubt flashed across his face, obviously realizing that Lian Ningxue's words made sense.

"Isn't it normal for a person who seeks skin from a tiger to have monsters mixed in? There are also many treasures in this world that can conceal the aura of monsters. The blood demon killed many martial arts heroes more than 1300 years ago. There are countless rare treasures in his hands. It’s perfectly normal to have a treasure that masks your aura.”

Zhang Yuning nodded and said: "It is indeed possible. Then there are demons within the Qinglong Society. Why do they deliberately come to Sacred Heart Residence to kill people and leave orders?"

Lian Ningxue chuckled and said: "We live in the Sacred Heart Residence. The Blood Demon must know it. She is sure that we will not join forces so early. Killing people in front of us will not only increase the influence of the Qinglong Order. It can attract more fighters, and you can also demonstrate and warn us, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone."

Zhang Yuning's eyes narrowed, his face full of anger, and he said: "Humph, it is the incompetence of the Demon Cult that raises such monsters. In the previous dynasty, how could these monsters dare to be so rampant!"

As if knowing that his words were meaningless, Zhang Yuning shook his head slightly. After calming down, he said with a worried look: "As soon as the news of the Golden Azure Dragon Order spreads, there will definitely be more warriors on the Rakshasa Festival in four days." Come here, wouldn't this be playing into the Blood Demon's hands? If so many warriors are really eaten by her, once the Blood Demon regains his strength, his life will really be ruined."

Lian Ningxue shook her head, looked at Zhang Yuning, and said softly: "Brother Zhang, a blood demon can't make any big waves, but if Bailu Academy succeeds, Xuzhou will openly invade Yongzhou, occupy Tongling, and tear up the covenant of Jindi , when a new round of Holy Land War begins, then... that will be the real destruction of life!"

Hearing this, Zhang Yuning's expression froze, and then he thought of the true purpose of his trip, with a hint of approval on his face.

A dark look flashed in Lian Ningxue's eyes, and she said: "Master Fanyin didn't take action himself and let us take the lead. He conserved his strength and wanted to protect Tongling for the demon sect. It was too good to be wishful thinking. The Rakshasa Holy Sect is now It is simply a fool’s dream to think of not losing an inch of territory despite internal and external troubles!”

He didn't want Xuzhou to occupy Tongling, and he didn't want the Demon Cult to keep Tongling. Lian Ningxue's words seemed inconsistent, but after Zhang Yuning listened, there was no trace of doubt on his face. Instead, he nodded slightly and turned his head to look to the west. In a guest room, a dark look appeared on his face.

"Leiyin Temple has the title of a quasi-holy place. It was heavily suppressed by Qinjian Villa in Jizhou. This time I traveled thousands of miles to Jiaozhou to ask for help from the Purple Qing Sect. It is definitely a sure win for Tongling.

Once they take control of Tongling and have the status of righteousness, and the work is done, the Wanjian Holy Sect and Bailu Academy will have no choice but to swallow this dumb loss. According to the domineering temperament of these bald donkeys, I am afraid that the entire southeast of Yongzhou will soon be destroyed. If the demon sect is going to fall, and then such a big piece of flesh is torn off, do you think Sikong Xingzhou will fight these bald donkeys..."

Lian Ningxue's voice was full of evil intentions, and Zhang Yuning felt a slight chill down his back. He only knew how to slay demons, and he was indeed not very good at such things as plotting, but that didn't mean he couldn't listen. Understand these words.

If you don't want the Demon Sect to keep Tongling, and you don't want Xuzhou to occupy Tongling, the solution is very simple, that is, let Leiyin Temple occupy it.

First of all, behind Xuzhou Ten Thousand Swords Saint Sect is White Deer Academy. Both Dayu Holy Dynasty and Haoran Saint Sect are at odds with White Deer Academy, and of course they do not want to see these two schools continue to expand.

Secondly, the Holy Land's cross-state seizure of land and the cross-state seizure of land by Leiyin Temple are completely different concepts. Leiyin Temple is only a quasi-holy land, and the difference is a world of difference. Leiyin Temple occupied Tongling, which offended It's just the Demon Cult, and it has no impact at all on the Jindi Covenant signed by the ten holy places.

To severely damage the Rakshasa Demon Sect without benefiting Xuzhou, this...is the purpose of their trip.

And just now, Lian Ningxue’s last words:

When the demon sect has been torn off such a large piece of flesh, do you think Sikong Xingzhou will fight these bald donkeys...

Undoubtedly, it shows that this matter is far from being as simple as it seems on the surface. It is obvious that Leiyin Temple occupies Tongling, which itself contains a huge element of calculation.

Lian Ningxue must be less than a hundred years old. To serve as an elder of the Haoran Holy Sect at such a young age is indeed something special.

Zhang Yuning is also a person who has lived for two or three hundred years. Looking at Lian Ningxue, who is nearly twice as young as him, he can't help but feel a chill in his heart, and he is also a little wary of Haoran Shengzong.

"However, there is one thing I haven't figured out yet!" Lian Ningxue suddenly spoke again, with a hint of doubt in his tone, and continued: "Since Tongling is bound to be won, why did Leiyin Temple send Yuankong to lead a few young people? Disciples come here.

After all, there are more than 200 million people in Tongling, [-] government troops plus people from nine local influential families, and at least [-] warriors who are above the fifth level. With more than ten masters and disciples, they want to occupy The land of one county is a bit too much! "

Zen Master Yuankong is at the same level as them, and also has Yuan Dan Dzogchen. It is said that with such a strong strength, it is more than enough to suppress a county, but suppression and rule are two different concepts.

Opening the five layers of the body, it is called the inner membrane, which means that the viscera and six internal organs in the body produce a skin membrane, and the blood and energy penetrate the whole body. It has already had a preliminary defensive effect on the energy. If you want to massacre, only the martial arts saints in the two realms of yin and yang, can do it.

Therefore, no matter what sect or sect in the thirteen states, warriors with a fifth level or above are the real basic strength of each family. At the same time, the minimum requirement for recruiting private armies in each of the ten holy places is also a fifth level.

Taking the Grandmaster Realm as an example, the strongest Heaven-level Grandmasters can only be enemies of ten thousand people at most, and Yuandan Dzogchen masters like them, when they encounter an army of more than 5 warriors, unless they are desperate, they will be defeated. Otherwise, it would not be advisable to have a head-on confrontation.

Zhang Yuning naturally understood these things, so Lian Ningxue's words made him also fall into deep thought.

…………

While Lian Ningxue and Zhang Yuning were thinking, in a guest room on the west side of the third floor, Zen Master Yuankong was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, holding Buddhist beads and reciting scriptures.

Suddenly, he stopped reading, opened his eyes, and looked up at the door.

Mo Xuzi, wearing a Taoist robe, carrying a long sword on his back, and holding a fly whisk, walked out of the door. With a smile on his face, he joked: "The Qinglong Society has come to demonstrate. Zen Master still has the leisure to meditate and chant sutras here. It's good to be calm." Power!"

Yuankong's old face showed no expression and remained as motionless as a bell. He just said softly: "The evil demons are just heretics, so there is nothing to worry about. Besides, Master Fanyin didn't come forward, and the two donors in the east didn't move either. The poor monk Why bother."

Hearing this, the smile on Mo Xuzi's face grew stronger. He glanced at the increasingly brightening sky outside the window, and said with a strange expression: "There are only three days left before the Rakshasa Festival. There is no movement in Xuzhou. Does the Zen Master know why? ?”

When Zen Master Yuankong heard this question, a strange light flashed through his turbid eyes. He hesitated for a moment before shaking his head and said: "Since this blood demon was created by White Deer Academy and Wanjian Sect, then we know the nature of it best." It's them too. They haven't done anything yet. What else could be the reason? It's just that they feel that Master Sanskrit and the rest of us alone can't deal with this blood demon.

Xuzhou is different from us. After all, it is adjacent to Yongzhou. Once a large army crosses the border, Master Fanyin will immediately report it to the Yongdu General Altar after receiving the news.

Although various families are now coveting Yongzhou, no holy land has dared to openly raise a large army to cross the state boundary. At most, they can send subordinate forces from this state to cross the border to test. Just like last year, there was a Zhaoyang Rebellion in Tongling. What!

The Jin Dynasty has infiltrated to the north, the Blood Spirit Demon Sect is causing rebellion in the west, and the Miao descendants outside the southern territory seem to have begun to rebel. The Rakshasa Demon Sect is now besieged on all sides. If Xuzhou really launches a large army to invade Yongzhou at this time, if it succeeds, it will lead to It's okay that other holy places responded and rushed forward. If it failed, the Demon Cult would definitely regard Xuzhou as its top enemy, and maybe they would immediately concentrate their efforts to start a war with Xuzhou.

Under such circumstances, Xuzhou must be more cautious.

Besides, the Blood Demon is indeed not simple. It is normal for us to be unable to solve it for a while. They are always hiding in the dark and sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai. Even if there is any situation, they can react at any time when they are so close. "

After hearing what Zen Master Yuankong said, Mo Xuzi nodded, with a gleam in his eyes. He looked up at him and said seriously: "Zen Master has traveled thousands of miles to come here. He won't just sit back and watch Xuzhou succeed, right?"

"Of course not. Our Leiyin Temple is a heaven-level power. The Jindi Covenant restricts the Holy Land of the World. Our Leiyin Temple is not yet included in it. Even if we occupy Tongling, the Holy Land of the World will have nothing to say. It will only attract demons when the time comes. Sect Wrath, I hope the Purple Qing Holy Sect can keep its promise and control the Demon Sect together with me, Leiyin Temple!"

"Don't worry, Zen Master. The Taoist Master and the Ancient Buddha have reached a consensus. As long as Leiyin Temple successfully takes over Tongling, all members of the Ziqing Holy Sect will advance and retreat together with your temple."

Mo Xuzi nodded solemnly, but the moment he lowered his head, an imperceptible light flashed in his eyes, and he hurriedly hid it before continuing to speak.

"It's just that there are too few people coming to your temple this time. Even if you don't count those monsters, it's still a little difficult to get a firm foothold in this huge Tongling with only Zen masters and more than ten disciples, right? "

Zen Master Yuankong's wrinkled face showed a faint smile, and he whispered: "I have my own plans for this matter. As long as I can successfully get rid of the blood demon and don't give Xuzhou a chance, Tongling will definitely join me." The hand of Leiyin Temple.”

Hearing Zen Master Yuankong's confident words, Mo Xuzi gave him a meaningful look. He knew that Yuankong still had reservations about him.

But then again, he himself also has reservations about Yuan Kong!
Mo Xuzi was silent for a long time, and then slowly took off the long sword from his back. It was an aqua blue long sword inlaid with seven or eight emerald green gems. Mo Xuzi stroked the sword body for more than ten breaths, and then Weiwei raised his head to look at Yuankong, and asked, "The Zen Master should have brought that sword here, right?"

Looking at the long sword, Yuankong nodded and said: "How could I forget such an important thing? Don't worry, the sword arrived at Tongling before me. For my disciples, counting the time, it should be just these two days." , he will come to me right away!"

"Disciple?" A trace of doubt flashed in Mo Xuzi's eyes. He and Zen Master Yuankong came all the way from Jiaozhou by boat. Didn't the other party bring a direct disciple named Bu Zheng with him? Monk Bu Zheng didn't bring any sword with him. .

"I asked my eldest disciple to take the sword with me. When I went south from Jizhou, he lost his temper and separated from us."

Only then did Mo Xuzi nod his head, and suddenly thought of his disobedient disciple, and shook his head immediately.

"By the way, my careless disciple seems to have gathered a group of people in Wanyang County, saying that he is going to come to Tongling to destroy the Qinglong Society. Disciple Bu Zheng seems to be among them. I heard that something happened in Zhaoyang County. , I asked my disciples to investigate, but neither of them was caught, and now they are going crazy for who knows where, your disciple is not fighting, he hasn’t come back yet, right?"

Yuankong shook his head, and when he mentioned his apprentice, a look of helplessness appeared on his face. Mo Xuzi's apprentice, Zhao Qingxue, loved to cause trouble, and his apprentice was not an economical person even if he didn't fight.

"Don't worry. When I left Wanyang County, I told him to come back to me before the Rakshasa Festival. Although he has a naughty temperament, my words are still useful. The two of them must be sure before the Rakshasa Festival. They will all come back.”

Mo Xuzi nodded. He didn't have much worry about his apprentice. After all, he left a lot of good things in Zhao Qingxue. It would be impossible for an ordinary person to harm her. A powerful person would not harm her even if he wanted to. A little girl.

The two also discussed a few words, and finally Mo Xuzi left the room.

Zen Master Yuankong sat alone in the room, looking at Mo Xuzi's leaving figure, a sharp light flashed in his old and turbid eyes.
