Immortal Path Evergreen

Even if the monks of Taicheng County did a good job of keeping secrets, the large-scale withdrawal of manpower and materials could not be concealed from others.

Although the Duanyun Mountains are towering into the clouds, they cannot prevent the monks from traveling between the north and south of the mountains, especially some monks with successful cultivation, who often enter the seven major markets of Qingxuan Sect's vassal to buy some special products of the Southern Wilderness.

Soon, the news that the Qingxuan Sect and the monks of Taicheng County were developing Chaoyin Mountain on a large scale spread to the north of the Duanyun Mountains, and even to the ears of the monks of Hongshan Sect.

In the past hundred years, because there was no suppression from the Xuansu Palace, the order of the Yu Kingdom's cultivation world was a little chaotic.

Even though the four major sects have their own spheres of influence, small-scale conflicts and tests are still emerging.

Hongshan Sect is located in the north of the Duanyun Mountains. Compared with the Qingxuan Sect, the area they control is already the hinterland of mankind. Except that the Duanyun Mountains are connected to the Southern Wilderness, there are no major monsters and disasters.

Although Hongshan Sect only has eleven purple mansion cultivators, they don't have to guard against large-scale monster invasions, so they can relatively mobilize more masters.

Qingliang Mountain is located in the north of Duanyun Mountain Range. The straight-line distance from this place to Chaoyin Mountain is only more than 8,000 miles, which is closer than the Taicheng County cultivation families such as Zhang Family, Wu Family, and Liu Family.

However, with the Duanyun Mountain Range blocking it, it is difficult for the two places to contact and communicate. Except for cultivators with successful cultivation, even Qi training cultivators will be injured if they cross the Duanyun Mountain Range once, and they may die if they are not careful.

The Xiao family of Qingliang Mountain is also a family with a history of more than 500 years. There is only one foundation-building cultivator in the family. The size of his family is less than half of that of the Zhang family, with only less than 50 cultivators.

At this time, in the guest hall of the Xiao family of Qingliang Mountain, Xiao Hongxuan, the head of the Xiao family who is at the third level of foundation building, is sitting at the end. There are more than a dozen foundation-building cultivators sitting at the top. The leader has a deep cultivation base and exudes a faint pressure. It seems that he has opened up the purple mansion.

This person glanced at everyone and said, "What is going on in Chaoyin Mountain?"

Zhao Qingnian, the head of the Zhao family in Qingwutan, seemed to have a good relationship with this purple mansion cultivator. Qingwutan is also located at the northern foot of the Duanyun Mountains. The Zhao family has three foundation-building cultivators. They often pass through Taicheng County to enter the Black Mountain. They are also very familiar with the various families in Taicheng County. The Zhao family's foundation-building cultivators first discovered the abnormality of Chaoyin Mountain, so Zhao Qingnian was the first to speak.

"Senior Mu, according to our understanding, Chaoyin Mountain was just a barren mountain before. The Ma family, a foundation-building family in Taicheng County, mined echo stones on this mountain, but did not produce anything too precious.

However, a year ago, the spiritual energy near this mountain began to become more and more abundant. In a very short period of time, the Qingxuan Sect cooperated with the five major families in Taicheng County to cultivate spiritual veins on the mountain, and also laid a powerful formation to wrap the entire mountain in thick fog.

In addition, the five foundation-building families in Taicheng County also dispatched a large number of people to build a fortress on Chaoyin Mountain, Five towns have been built and more than 100,000 mu of farmland have been reclaimed. "Hearing Zhao Qingnian's words, Purple Mansion cultivator Mu Huaishan frowned and said, "So, Qingxuan Sect has found great benefits in Chaoyin Mountain?" "According to our estimation, judging from the manpower they mobilized and the arrangements they made, they may have discovered a spirit stone mine. As for the scale of the spirit stone mine, it should not be considered large. If the scale of the spirit stone mine is large, Qingxuan Sect may not allow the Taicheng County Foundation Establishment Family to intervene." Zhao Qingnian nodded and said affirmatively. The cultivators gathered in the Xiao family of Qingliang Mountain are all foundation-building family cultivators from Jiangkou County of Yu State. Jiangkou County has been developed for more than 3,000 years, and its population and farmland are more solid than those of Taicheng County. There are eleven foundation-building families in their county, almost twice that of Taicheng County. However, there are only eighteen foundation-building cultivators in Jiangkou County, only five more than Taicheng County. But the cultivators in Taicheng County often fight against monsters, and their experience far exceeds that of Jiangkou County, which has been stable for many years. If the family cultivators of the two counties fought on a large scale, without the intervention of the sect behind them, the cultivators of Jiangkou County might not be the opponents of Zhang Zhixuan and others.

Moreover, the families of Taicheng County have successively produced two purple mansion cultivators, which has left some powerful back-up. Even if the Zhang family has exhausted the fourth-level spiritual talisman, their foundation-building cultivators are more powerful than ordinary foundation-building families in terms of vision and skills.

Mu Huaishan is the purple mansion elder of Hongshan Sect. He has opened up the purple mansion for less than a decade and his cultivation is only the second level of the purple mansion. Although he is not a native cultivator of Jiangkou County, his wife in his early years was from the Zhao family.

The cultivators of the Zhao family were also very helpful to him in his early years. So after Zhao Qingnian noticed the abnormality of Chaoyin Mountain, he immediately wrote a letter and invited Mu Huaishan to Qingliang Mountain to discuss this major event.

"A spiritual stone mine has been discovered in Chaoyin Mountain. What are your plans?" Mu Huaishan asked with a frown.

Zhao Qingnian and Mu Huaishan were relatives, and he said directly without any politeness: "Chaoyin Mountain belongs to Duanyun Mountain Range, not to his Qingxuan Sect. This place where the two sides meet does not belong to Qingxuan Sect. We would like to ask Senior Mu to represent Hongshan Sect and make the decision for our Jiangkou County cultivators to take the lead in fighting against the Qingxuan Sect cultivators."

The Jiangkou County cultivators are numerous, but the resources they produce are probably not as good as those of Taicheng County, which is close to the Southern Wilderness. Hearing that the spirit stone mine was discovered in Chaoyin Mountain, they all wanted Hongshan Sect to take the lead in fighting.

Mu Huaishan himself was not very satisfied that the spirit stone mine in Chaoyin Mountain was occupied by the Qingxuan Sect cultivators, but he could not make the decision alone on such a major event as the conflict with Qingxuan Sect. This required the joint decision of the high-level cultivators of the sect.

If Qingxuan Sect is not prepared, they can still provoke a small-scale conflict, but Qingxuan Sect has arranged a fourth-level formation, which will not work unless a large-scale siege is launched.

Mu Huaishan looked at the dozen or so Foundation Establishment cultivators who were looking forward to it, and said cautiously: "I am willing to fight for you. But for such a big thing, you still have to report to the sect and ask Patriarch Yang to make a decision.

You should make some preparations first, prepare enough food and spiritual rice, and then send people to Taicheng County to inquire about the situation. It is best to find out the situation in Chaoyin Mountain. Wait for me to go back and report to Patriarch Yang and see what Patriarch Yang thinks."

Mu Huaishan made arrangements on the same day, and then hurriedly flew back to Hongshan Sect to ask Patriarch Yang for instructions.

Hongshan Sect is located in the east of Yu State, on the fifth-level spiritual vein of Dahong Mountain, and controls the three counties in the east of Yu State. These three counties are well-developed cultivated land, and both the population and farmland far exceed the three counties in the southeast.

With a sufficient population base, more monks can be born, so in terms of the number of monks, Hongshan Sect is almost more than double that of Qingxuan Sect.

However, in the past few hundred years, the development of Hongshan Sect has been far less than that of Qingxuan Sect.

Since a hundred years ago, the number of purple mansion monks in Qingxuan Sect has exceeded that of Hongshan Fort. In the past hundred years, three foundation-building monks, Hu Peiyu, Wu Siheng, and Han Wangpeng, have successfully opened up the purple mansion in Qingxuan Sect, while in the past hundred years, only Mu Huaishan has become a purple mansion monk in Hongshan Sect.

The Qingxuan Sect is becoming more and more prosperous, and the Hongshan Sect bordering them is becoming more and more worried.

As Mu Huaishan brought back the news that Qingxuan Sect had discovered another spirit stone mine, Hongshan Sect's ancestor Yang was even more worried. Once this spirit stone mine is on the right track, it can provide more resources for Qingxuan Sect and train more monks for them. If the power of Qingxuan Sect becomes stronger and stronger, it will gradually erode the sphere of influence of Hongshan Sect.

In the past thousand years, Qingxuan Sect has not only been developing and advancing in the Southern Wilds, but also vigorously supporting the foundation-building families under its command in the north near Hongshan Sect.

The foundation-building families such as the Ma family of Jiufeng Mountain and the Zhu family of Liucheng developed in this way.

In order to suppress the development of Qingxuan Sect, after careful consideration, Patriarch Yang made up his mind to fight with Qingxuan Sect and suppress Qingxuan Sect.

After all, Qingxuan Sect had just taken over Shuangjiao Mountain and controlled six fourth-level spiritual veins in the Southern Wilds. These six fourth-level spiritual veins cannot be separated from the guarding of Zifu cultivators.

Although they have thirteen Zifu cultivators, they cannot withdraw too many people. Compared with Hongshan Sect, they are probably at a disadvantage.
