January, the eleventh year of Jiachun.

The three border states of the Huomang Dynasty, including Fuquanzhou City, fell.

The General's Office of the Shuiyuan Dynasty dispatched more than 10,000 light cavalry, led by Young Marquis Mu himself, and marched straight in. After breaking through the state capital, the important frontier town of Fuquan was facing an overwhelming force. The local immortal leader, Qun Linshan, received an order from the royal family to quell the unrest within a month.

It was a cold winter, with rebellious armies rising up everywhere and demons and monsters running rampant.

Qilin Mountain sent out 20,000 Gray Bamboo Army soldiers and called on the immortal forces in the state to form an alliance to jointly recover the lost territory.

But at the same time, the news that the young master of the Jiang family murdered the direct descendants of the Tao family in Zhengyang Mountain spread like wildfire.

……

Lulin Mountain, Jing Family Ancestral Hall.

A white-haired old man hastily ended his retreat and now sits at the head of the table with a solemn expression.

Eight direct elders and six offering elders gathered together, all of them were immortals in the middle five realms who had cultivated in the caves.

The head of the family, Jing Fanhe, paced back and forth, anxiously saying, "What should we do? Tao is dead, and our Jing family hasn't had time to invest in him. It's not a heavy loss, but Zhengyang Mountain will definitely not give up. The Tao family's protector has already closed the door to visitors. Ancestor, if we provoke the Earth Immortal Ancestor who comes with a treasure, our Jing family will be doomed!"

Several elders looked at each other. The power of the Earth Immortal was so terrifying. If the Grand Elder of the Jing Family was a sword cultivator at the Longmen Realm, perhaps the other party would be a little afraid of him. Unfortunately, sword cultivators were so precious. There were not many sword cultivators at the middle five realms in the entire Huomang Dynasty. The Jing Family was undoubtedly in big trouble now.

The chief priest lamented, "Even if Zhengyang Mountain is calling the Jiang family to task, they will never let us go easily. The most urgent task is to capture Jiang Jianjia and send him to Zhengyang Mountain to await his fate. Only then will we have a glimmer of hope."

As a sacrifice, just walking away would be a huge blow to one's reputation. One would no longer be able to sit back and collect money. Perhaps one would be forced to become a demon, but it would not be worth it to go down with the Jing family's ship. It was so difficult to achieve the middle five realms of cultivation, and no one was willing to sacrifice in vain.

The eldest elder of the direct line of the Jing family turned cold and flatly refused, "This is ridiculous! If Zhengyang Mountain is a tiger on the mountain, then the Jing family and the Jiang family are interdependent wild horses in the forest. If two wild horses fight each other, even if we can win in the end, we will definitely be covered in scars. By then, after the tiger eats the Jiang family, the Jing family will be at the mercy of others. The survival of the entire family must not rely on the appetite of the tiger!"

The Great Elder clasped his fists and said with a resolute expression, "In my opinion, Zhengyang Mountain may not be a monolithic entity. The foundation of Kunlin Mountain is the three great elders and the mountain protection formation. Now that the great elder of the Wen family has passed away, our Jing family should not fight with him. Instead, we should make friends with the Jiang family and even put aside the old grudges."

There was a noisy sound in the ancestral hall.

Jing Fanshui looked stunned, he didn't expect that the Great Elder would actually think so. The matter of Zhengyang Mountain was initiated by him, the patriarch. Now not only all his previous efforts were wasted, but he also got himself into trouble. Whether he could keep his position in the future or not, he could only wait and see.

The Grand Elder knocked on the armrest of the chair.

"inappropriate."

Everyone was filled with awe.

It is "inappropriate" rather than "not allowed".

The Grand Elder pondered for a moment and said, "The Great Elder's tone is correct, but this matter cannot be made public, otherwise it will lose face for Zhengyang Mountain and will inevitably arouse their hatred of the enemy. At that time, we will have to take action. As I said before, we can just pretend to obey but secretly disobey. The Jiang family has made a big mistake, so let them take the lead, and our Jing family will secretly help behind. The pattern of one tiger and three horses must not fall. I will secretly contact the Grand Elder of the Jiang family. As for the hint from the protector that we should attack the Jiang family, we can use the enemy at hand to delay it."

The head of the Jing family said indignantly: "Old Ancestor, Taoci is dead after all. If you don't give an explanation, this matter is unacceptable."

The Grand Elder narrowed his eyes and glanced at the head of the family. "This time, it's as you wish. No matter how united they are, Jiang Jianjia and Jiang Bendao will die. If you make a big mistake, you must take responsibility. My old friend will understand the principle of sacrificing the pawn to save the master. But on this basis, if you dare to cross the line and disrupt the situation, don't blame me for killing my own relatives for the sake of justice."

The ancestral hall was completely silent. No one expected the old ancestor to beat him so harshly and teach the head of the family a lesson in public.

Jing Fanhe's face turned alternately blue and white, and then he knelt down.

"I will follow the instructions of our ancestors."

On the beam, an invisible and intangible little snake disappeared.

……

At the same time, in the military camp belonging to Qulinshan.

In a large tent, a small snake climbed to the top of the head, coiled up and continued to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Jiang Yuan took a sip of the street wine.

"It's not that easy. As time goes by, people become more shrewd. The Grand Master of the Jing family has a long-term vision, and the Great Elder has a unique perspective. Neither of them is a reckless person. In comparison, Jing's offense seems to be a little off, but the aggressiveness of the tiger and wolf can also be used. It's just that there is one less opportunity to fish in troubled waters."

Jiang Yuan looked outside the tent. The atmosphere in the military camp was extremely solemn. A great battle was imminent, but a major incident had occurred in the rear. A melee might break out in the camp at any time when a military order came down.

"The two families have decided to sacrifice Jiang Jianjia, but he is the Blood Demon Cult leader's direct disciple. After this incident, there is no way he can just sit there and wait for death. The same is true for Jiang Bendao. The patriarch may turn to the Blood Demon Cult for survival. After all, it is hard not to feel resentment for such an unexpected disaster. Moreover, he has a young son. If he loses power and invites disaster, everything will be over."

Jiang Yuan secretly deduced that the army would set out and would soon take away a wave of veteran combat power. It was heard that the leader of the Wen family was in charge of the war. In this case, if the Blood Demon Leader came out of seclusion to achieve the Golden Elixir, it would be the most appropriate time to attack.

To confirm this, we just need to check later whether the Jiang family elders who are accompanying the army have any old grudges with the head of the family. If those who come are not from the head of the family, Qulin Mountain will be in danger.

"In addition, there is the Wenren family. Is the Grand Elder of this family really dead? Strictly speaking, there were only rumors before. It was the Wenren family who took out the sword-raising gourd on their own initiative, which made all parties tacitly agree to this. But if it is a strategy of advancing to retreat, it means that there is still a Dragon Gate Realm inside, and the head of the Wenren family is away, which makes the other two families extremely careless. But according to rumors, the Wenren Grand Elder is indeed very old, and even if he is not dead, he will not live long."

If you want to confirm this matter, you can just ask the Blood Demon Sect whether there are any alternative rumors of longevity. The demon monks often raise blood and refine bones, and generally speaking, they are more proficient in similar methods.

Jiang Yuan has a clear understanding of the current situation. The Demon Cult's brat Jiang Jianjia is treated as the young master, which means that the Qiulin Mountain is not far from being destroyed. Now the situation is undercurrent. Jiang Bendao wants to survive, Wen Renjia hopes to prolong his life, and the Blood Demon Cult leader wants to come out of seclusion to achieve the Golden Elixir Patriarch. They must have a suitable piece of land, and there is a hundred-year-old spiritual spring in Qiulin Mountain.

"The key is, if the speculation is true, what benefits can I gain? No, as long as I kill Jiang Jianjia, relying on my identity as a sword cultivator, the benefits will come to me. Maybe when the army returns, the Junlin Mountain will become the Blood Demon Mountain, a Jindan power."

With this in mind, Jiang Yuan released an incarnation of the Three Pure Ones and code-named it "Jiang Jia".

The original body and various incarnations of the Yin-Yang God are all in the Five-Colored World, but his incarnation of the Three Religions is of no help and is still in its complete state.

Jiang Yuan found the materials and started making the dough, a skill he has never mastered.

"The incarnations of the Three Pure Ones and I are now equal at all times, so we need to step up our efforts to improve our combat power. At the very least, we need to be qualified to assassinate a fifth-level swordsman. However, arranging identities is not difficult for the direct descendants."
