There is no definite explanation of how Elder Yuan Ying fell, but the northeast defense line has really been broken through.
Originally, the Yanyun Mountains were the barrier between the Great Song Dynasty and the Great Yan, and the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun were the last buffer place.
The situation is already grim, and the scale of the war is no longer confined to one corner, and it will soon expand.
"Immediately increase manpower and re-establish a second line of defense in Qingzhou, Yuzhou, Bingzhou and other places in the rear to prevent the situation from deteriorating!"
"Set up pickets to urge the local sects and families to guard the line together and help resist the Yan Kingdom!"
"Collect relevant information, find out the truth about Elder Hong Lei's fall, and dig out all the details of this battle!"
"Send envoys to the Yanyun Mountains and ask the Fire Fox King why he sent troops!"
......
The peak masters of the Purple Night Sect reacted quickly, and suggestions from the lobby came and went.
The real person in charge nodded, and began to implement the orders one by one, and there was no procrastination in doing things.
Mobilizing troops to the front line is the top priority.
And investigating the fall of Elder Hong Lei is also a top priority!
After all, the primordial infant monks, the law heaven and earth, brilliant and immeasurable, coupled with the speed of the thunder cultivators are the best in the world, it is not so easy to kill them.
The cause of death in this is very strange, just relying on the Yan Kingdom Demon Sect True Monarch and the Fire Fox King, can they besiege and kill the elders of the Purple Night Sect? When he said it, no one in the whole sect believed it.
It is necessary to find out!
Of course, how to investigate, who to send to investigate, this must be done secretly, it belongs to the task of the intelligence department, it is not suitable to be made public on this occasion, at most the truth is obtained afterwards, and then give everyone an explanation.
And in the land of Qing, Hebei, You, and the four states, those local snakes must also move, cooperate with the Purple Night Sect to guard the frontier, and they cannot continue to hide behind and fish in the water.
The reason why the Purple Night Sect has always stood up to the Yanyun defense line is not only to compete with the Northwest Qianyun Pavilion for the reputation of the Great Song Dynasty and show its strength.
There is also the need to take on more responsibilities accordingly, recovering the eastern part of the Luosong Mountains and the East China Sea after the Demon Tribulation, and liquidating and shuffling the subordinate forces of the Demon Dao on a large scale.
In order to gain the support of the cultivation community, the development rights of a large area of the East China Sea were also delegated to various small and medium-sized sects, which was regarded as eating meat and drinking soup together.
Now that the front line has been defeated, and the high-ranking primordial infant True Monarch has fallen, it is impossible for those people to continue watching the show. In addition, the other party has already hit the door of the house and burned their buttocks, and these people have to find a way to save themselves.
The Purple Night Sect set up pickets to be this leader, twisting them into a rope and no longer fighting separately, which would only be defeated by each other, but would not be beneficial to the overall situation.
Having experienced the Demonic Tribulation Rebellion, this kind of coordination operation was already familiar to the Purple Night Sect, so the candidates were also arranged quickly.
As for the East China Sea Gale Sea, what eight sects joined forces to encircle and suppress the shark race failed, and the broken things that needed support were put aside first, and when they had time to think of it in the future, they would solve the urgent needs first.
After some heated discussions, the head of the real person coordinated with the peak masters to jointly arrange all matters and distribute personnel from all walks of life.
Then, because the matter is very important, I have to ask the elder of this sect for instructions one last time.
The Great Elder of the Purple Night Sect.
The thousand-year-old monster in the late Yuan Ying period, the oldest living antique in the Song Dynasty.
The strength reaches the heavens and the earth, shocking the cultivation circles of neighboring countries!
In the later stages of the Demon Tribulation Rebellion decades ago, there was a night of battle with the Black Lotus Sect Protector Dharma King after taking the house in the place where the eastern Qingyu Prefecture meet!
After that, I didn't know what I had experienced, so I turned around and returned to the Purple Night Sect, but there was no news.
Just when there was a lot of speculation from the outside world, I didn't expect him to be alive now!
The peak masters and hall master disciples of each peak all looked excited, eager to see this legendary ancestor, but the head real person just took out a jade plaque and talked to the great elder across the passage through this.
He himself couldn't see the Great Elder, the Great Elder was indeed in retreat in the Purple Night Sect now, but no one knew exactly where it was, and his soul lamp had never been in the Patriarch's Hall, hidden in an unknown place.
As the Purple Night Sect's fixed sea god needle, only by remaining mysterious and not leaking any news can the outside world be afraid of all the time and unable to figure out the details.
Even if you die, it must be an obscure death, and you must retain the illusion of being alive to the outside world.
However, the primordial infant life is only eight hundred years, and they have lived for a thousand years, and the ordinary life-prolonging elixir is estimated to have been eaten almost once, and the limit should not be far away.
Each longevity elixir can only be used once, and if you take more, it will not continue to have an effect, this is the iron law of heaven.
Even if the Zixiao Sect gathered the strength of the entire sect to search for the longevity elixir, it would not be able to save the life of the Great Elder, this was an inevitable event.
It's just that he is still alive now, and he immediately gave everyone a reassurance.
After the Righteous Demon War, there were heavy losses, and the squeezing and temptation of Qianyun Pavilion on weekdays, coupled with the fact that a primordial infant elder had just fallen, made the entire sect a little out of breath.
Fortunately, the Great Elder is still there!
As long as this ancestor does not fall, the Purple Night Sect will still be the first in the Great Song Dynasty!
"Great Elder, here's what happened..."
"After deliberation, we decided to do so..."
"What do you think..."
The head of the real person said in detail to the jade card, in a respectful tone, waiting for the ruling.
There was silence after hearing this.
After a long time.
Just when everyone in the hall was waiting for their eyes to pierce.
"Hong Lei... Junior brother, unexpectedly... fell..."
The old voice was a little bleak and sad, and the news was so shocking that it was unbelievable.
However, there was no expected rage, and there were no earth-shattering waves.
The Great Elder of the Purple Night Sect just replied.
"Just do what you arrange..."
The head of the real person promised, in front of so many people in the hall, it was not easy to inquire about the current situation of the ancestor, but from the reaction, it was inferred that the ancestor's current state was not what it used to be.
If it was done according to the past, it would definitely be thunderous and angry, leave the customs with hatred, and go thousands of miles to kill the Yanyun Mountains and retaliate for tooth!
But now, it turns out...
I really don't know what happened to the Black Lotus Sect's protector Dharma King decades ago, which made several elders in the sect secret after they returned.
Without receiving any instructions, the head of the real person was about to end the conversation channel.
But the Great Elder of the Zixiao Sect on the opposite side suddenly changed his tone and asked him to stop.
"There is no need to send someone to ask over there in the Yanyun Mountains, since the Firefox King is unruly, then we just use this as an excuse to play and find another place."
"No need to ask?"
The head of the real person's hand shook, and everyone in His Highness couldn't believe it, the Purple Night Sect lost a primordial infant elder, and he just ignored it?
We were once the first sect of the Great Song Dynasty, even if it is in decline now, our majesty cannot be provoked!"
The great elder of the Purple Night Sect on the other side of the jade plaque spoke indifferently, calm and relaxed.
"Regardless of whether the Firefox King is a personal act or a tentative move by all the demon kings in the Yanyun Mountains, since the wood is ready and the front line cannot stop it, then the best result is to escalate the situation."
"We will ask foreign aid to stir the water as muddy as possible, so that the Purple Night Sect can develop steadily during the great change and delay the time to restore its former strength."
"Originally, the sect's manpower was already stretched, and we could no longer force ourselves to be on the front line to consume, and if we continued to fight like this, we would become weaker and weaker... At that time, give Qianyun Pavilion a chance..."
"Let's bring other forces into the venue, it doesn't matter if the Great Song Dynasty loses some land, it can be regained in the future, the Purple Night Sect must not be dragged down..."
......
When these words were said, everyone was shocked!
When did the eldest elder become so weak that he even had to cede land to ask for foreign aid!
Is this still the supreme overlord in our previous understanding, who crisscrosses the world, is domineering, thunderous in the world, and suppresses the Song Dynasty for thousands of years?
Could it be that his old man is really...
A sadness of the hero's twilight and the weight of old age and weakness weighed on everyone's hearts.
The strength of the Immortal Cultivation Sect for its own inheritance, looking at the gains and losses of land far higher than that of the mortal kingdom, they also have the concept of family and country, but they value the sect even more.
Even if the Great Song Dynasty lost half of the land, just like the Demon Tribulation Rebellion, it would not have to wait until it was attacked on the mountain gate, and all the trump cards would break out at the moment of life and death.
After the situation takes a turn, sects such as Qianyun Pavilion and Imperial Beast Valley will also send troops to counterattack.
It's not that they're short-sighted.
But in the case of other sects wise to protect themselves, if you are tough with your opponent, you will only give those who are watching coldly a chance to calculate afterwards.
Since you don't want to be the first bird, then I shouldn't either, everyone should save their strength together, anyway, there will always be someone who can't take the lead and can't hold on, it depends on when the turning point occurs.
Last time, unfortunately, the three factions of the Demonic Dao directly chose to attack the Purple Night Sect, while the other two stood by and ignored it, and finally relied on their own Jedi to make a comeback.
Now that they are in such a dilemma again, the Great Elder of the Purple Night Sect simply broke the jar and broke it, and could no longer let the Purple Night Sect bear the damage alone, they could no longer bear the loss!
You can say that they are selfish, but in the cultivation world, selfishness is the norm.
"However, the Great Elder, once the people of the Western Desert Buddhist Sect are brought in to spread the Dharma, they will definitely have endless troubles!"
The head of the real person couldn't help but remind that if Minzhi's belief was poisoned too much, then the Great Song Dynasty would eventually become a Buddhist country, and the cultivation sect would gradually decline if it could not recruit suitable disciples in the future, which was a long-term plan.
The Great Elder of the Purple Night Sect laughed.
"When did I say I was going to introduce the Buddhist sect? Those bald donkeys had bad intentions, so naturally I wouldn't let those monks come in and break our roots."
"Then you mean...?"
The head of the real person suddenly thought of another layer, and suddenly had a guess in his heart, so he asked cautiously.
"Expand the showdown between the entire Song Dynasty and the Yan Kingdom, and bring in another force."
"There is no foreign aid now, just give up everything in the Northern Plains and let them digest it slowly!"
"We happened to take advantage of the Fire Fox King's participation in the war, and also went to the Luosong Mountains to ask for help from the Demon King!"
"At that time, find a way to intensify the conflict, which will turn into a confrontation between the entire Luosong Mountains and the Yanyun Mountains!"
"Once the two demon camps participate in the war, it will cause qualitative changes in quantity, and our human kingdom will become a supporting role, which is a strategy to use strength!"
......
The Luosong Mountains run through the entire north and south of the Great Song Dynasty, stretching for tens of thousands of miles, and there are also some demon kings in it, which are on par with the three major sects of the entire Great Song Dynasty, and have been peaceful for thousands of years.
The Yanyun Mountains stretch across the north, at the junction of the Song Dynasty and Dayan, and there are also some demon kings who open their mansions and build teeth, and their strength is not weaker than that of a certain country.
If you use the personal participation of the Fire Fox King to make a fuss about this time, it will be understood as the demon clan of the Yanyun Mountains uniting with the Yan Kingdom Demon Dao to go south.
Then, the demon kings of the Luosong Mountains are bound to be vigilant, and there will even be a crisis of cold lips and teeth.
At that time, the righteous sects of the Great Song Dynasty will be destroyed, and the surrounding land will be occupied by the Yan state, so won't they be surrounded?
The demon race is not monolithic, and it also relies on the human race's sphere of influence as a buffer zone.
The demon tribe in the Song Dynasty was also afraid of the invasion of other countries, which would damage their interests.
Previously, the three factions of the Demon Dao attacked from the East China Sea, and the Demon King of the Luosong Mountains did not react, because these three families were also the local forces that fled from the Song Dynasty back then.
Later, when the Yan Demon Dao went south, there was no need for them to go beyond the chores and let the Great Song Dynasty righteous Dao people deal with it themselves.
But once the demon king of the Yanyun Mountains participates in the war, this situation will be more severe, and it may touch the red line of vigilance between the demon races and break the balance of strength between the two countries.
If there is a eloquent person at this time, and then mentions a three-inch tongue, he personally rushes to the Luosong Mountains to ask for help, which will attract the demon king to lead his troops out of the mountain.
Then, it would definitely greatly relieve the pressure of the Purple Night Sect and reduce their losses.
After the battle, the demon race still had to retreat to the mountains and forests, relying on the chassis of the human race, they were also not used to living, and the territory would still belong to the Song Dynasty.
It is far more cost-effective than asking the Western Desert Buddhist Sect to help!
Many people in the hall immediately figured out the joints here, secretly saying that the ginger was still old and spicy.
Instead of going to the Yanyun Mountains to ask the Fire Fox King why he intervened, he directly characterized it, turned around and sent people to the Luosong Mountains to ask other demon kings to help and pull more forces into the water.
Sometimes, the situation becomes more and more widespread, and it is easier to not fight, because there are too many things that both parties have to consider, and they will think twice before acting!
This is the necessity of diplomacy and making more friends!
Of course, even if a fight really starts, the Purple Night Sect will not have to bear the brunt of it like before, fighting one-on-one with the Yan Demon Sect on the front line.
As soon as the power of the demon king increased, the two sides fought a decisive battle between the two parties, and they were mixed under the dilution inside, which was equivalent to reducing the risk in disguise.
The hall of discussion came and went.
"The Great Elder's plan is very good, moving flowers and trees, fighting and moving stars, it is indeed the best solution to face the Yan Kingdom's invasion now!"
"It's just that we have lived in peace with the Luosong Mountains for thousands of years, and we have never had a friendship with any demon king, so we are afraid that when the time comes, we will eat behind closed doors, and the other party will not be willing to send troops, what should we do?"
"This is also a score... Let's divide the demons... Maybe some demon kings are good at talking, have a long-term view of the overall situation and vision, and are willing to send troops to share the pressure for us?"
"Maybe, we haven't had contact with them for a long time, and the well water doesn't violate the river water, so it's hard to guess what the situation is going on there now."
"Then we can only find a reliable candidate who can win over strong reinforcements for us with his tongue!"
......
At this time, a loud laugh suddenly came from the crowd in the hall.
"Hahahahaha, don't worry, my disciple Lin Fan is eloquent and eloquent, so he should be appointed to this position! With him on the horse, it will be done!"
