The Great Wild God - Chapter 243
Chapter 243 Settle A War
Looking at the postures of the people of the Northern Mountain, Yi Qinghu, who was standing on the ridge with his sleeves and hands, was so angry that his entire body trembled.
He thought that as a dignified Elder of Mount Yi Sect, wherever he went, he would not be able to walk in front of others and be respectful. He had never dared to have a single person show him his face. Who would have thought that he would not even be able to step into an inch of land in the Northern Mountain?
The accompanying disciples were frightened to the point where their hearts trembled. At this moment, no one dared to say a single word.
Shi Guanjian was a direct disciple of the Profound Frost Sect. He was not afraid to speak in front of Yi Qinghu. He said, “The Su Clan has been walking closely with several large sects east of Tu Mountain these past few years. I’m afraid this matter is not as simple as it seems.”
Yi Qinghu shook his sleeves and a strong wind silently crushed the giant boulder on the left to vent his resentment. He glared at Shi Guanjian and said hatefully, “You said that Yang Zhu is someone who can accomplish something. Now look at this mess, how should we deal with it?”
Asked Yi Qinghu to vent his anger and stare, Shi Guanjian’s chest was also stifled, and he said forcefully,
‘”After all, I can’t guess the Su Clan’s reaction. Yang Zhu is in charge step by step, and there’s nothing wrong with that. It’s just that no one expected Chen Xun, who had suddenly returned to the Northern Mountain, to actually have such great energy?”
“Are you saying that the Divine Night Sect interfered in this matter from behind?” Yi Qinghu frowned and asked gloomily.
“Presumably, Elder Yi will also be able to see through the strangeness of that refined bronze war chariot.” Shi Guanjian said.
Yiqinghu was at the late Heaven Origin Realm, so his eyesight was naturally no weaker than Shi Guanjian’s. He had long since seen the strange location of the fine copper war chariot standing on the north bank of the Heaven Lake Horse, and his spiritual energy was so dense that it was like a pale green cloud wrapped around the body.
Seeing this scene, Yi Qinghu was secretly shocked. At this moment, he did not figure out what was hidden in the two refined copper chariots of the Northern Mountain, so he did not act rashly.
Everyone in the Northern Mountain wanted to fight Yiqing Lake, so Su Shousi and the others retreated a hundred feet away to watch the situation change. However, at such a close distance, Su Shousi’s perception of the refined copper war chariot was even clearer.
Although he didn’t know what was hidden in the chariot, he could tell that the spiritual energy gathered around the chariot was no less dense than a small spiritual acupoint, enough for the four pillars of the Mountain River Formation to be continuously consumed.
Moving spiritual acupoints?
A bronze war chariot was like a moving spiritual acupoint, like a moving small mountain protection formation.
Thinking of this, Su Shousi had a faint impulse to tear apart the refined copper war chariot to see what was going on. He thought that if the Su Clan had ten war chariots, if there were ten more Heaven Origin Realm experts, why would they be forced to this extent by the Yishan Sect and Mystical Frost Sect in the past few years?
Thinking of this, Su Shousi beckoned Su Fanglong to his side and asked in a low voice, “You really don’t know what kind of magical artifact is inside the Northern Mountain war chariot?”
After Su Shousi asked, Su Fanglong could not help but reply, “After Chen Xun entered the Divine Night Sect, his talent in artifact forging was greatly valued by the people of the Divine Night Sect. He has a reputation as an artifact forger. However, Fu Chen and Wu Yang truly only saw him use the Cyan Flame Lotus Arrow to suppress Wei Che, the direct son of the Wei Clan. Whether the war chariot is a magical artifact that can gather spiritual energy from the Divine Night Sect is not clear to me.”
When Su Fanglong was in Mengshan, he had seen Chen Xun gift a Spirit Gathering Artifact to Qing Xuan.
Although the Spirit Gathering Magic Tool’s ability to gather spiritual energy was not as good as the one hundred copper chariots in front of him, Su Fang Long could tell that the two magic tools were of the same lineage and should be able to be refined …
Over the past thousand years, the Azure Water College had also accumulated quite a few powerful magical artifacts. However, most of these powerful magical artifacts were isolated items that had been passed down for hundreds or thousands of years. Once damaged, they would be unable to be refined again.
At this moment, the magical artifacts that could be refined over and over again had the greatest value.
A refined bronze war chariot like this might not mean anything, but what about ten or eight chariots that could traverse the wilderness and be comparable to a Heaven Origin Realm expert’s refined bronze war chariot?
Forty Reincarnation Realm cultivators might not necessarily be able to reach the Heaven Origin Realm, but 40 Reincarnation Realm cultivators plus ten refined copper chariots were comparable to ten Heaven Origin Realm cultivators. This was no small matter.
However, there was no need for Su Fanglong to explain everything for Chen Xun.
The second chariot was also slowly gathering spiritual energy. Su Fang Long believed that without him saying anything, the Sect Master would definitely be able to see something.
“Weaponry Refiner!” Su Shousi sighed softly and turned around to ask Su Junyuan, “Junyuan, do you think Su Tang should come to the Northern Mountain?”
“Weaponry forging is just a small skill. Our Su Clan also has talent that is good at forging weapons. Why should we let Chen Xun have a chance to make a name for himself?” Su Wuyang said sullenly.
“Have you ever heard of such a magical artifact in other clans after traveling in the clouds for the past few years?” Su Shousi asked.
Su Junyuan asked hesitantly, “Sect Master is saying …”
Apart from the Kui Long Tian Diagram and the Azure Phoenix Egg, most of the refining methods of these two magical artifacts were also obtained by Chen Xun from below the Jade Pillar Peak, right? Su Shousi said thoughtfully, “Over the years, we’ve been guessing how much benefit he got from Jade Pillar Peak. Could there be one or two Heaven Ranked supreme treasures that he hid and didn’t take out? I forgot one thing. It’s better to teach people how to fish than how to teach them how to fish!”
Su Fanglong thought about it, and thought to himself, most of the magic tools Chen Xun had learned from Jade Pillar Peak weren’t just Green Flame Lotus Arrows or Spirit Gathering Restrictions, but what could he do?
Unlike Kui Long Tian Tu, who could directly snatch away these magical artifacts, the refining methods of these magical artifacts were all stored in Chen Xun’s mind. Now that the Divine Night Sect, Thousand Swords Sect, and Meng Shan Sect all valued Chen Xun’s talent in forging magical artifacts, could they still capture Chen Xun and force him to forge magical artifacts for the Su Clan?
Thinking of this, Su Fanglong said to Sect Leader Su Shousi, “There’s no way for the people of the Northern Mountain to continue their stalemate with Yiqing Lake. Shall I ask what the conditions of the Northern Mountain are? Let’s stay in the middle for a while?”
If you need someone, you must give it up first.
Su Shousi nodded. Although the Su Clan did not make a move this time, he believed that Chen Xun would be able to understand the role of the Su Clan.
****************************
“Blood Sword Sect withdraws from Guniu Ridge …”
“The Blood Sword Sect needs to compensate for the cost of rebuilding the Northern Mountain City and compensate the dead disciples of the Northern Mountain …”
“Blood Sword Sect needs to redeem the captured disciples …”
The three conditions put forward by Beishan were by no means harsh.
In this battle, Yang Zhu had killed more than twenty Blood Sword Sect Reincarnation Realm cultivators. Even if more than a dozen Reincarnation Realm cultivators fled back to the Taurus Ridge, they were still scattered sand and were utterly powerless to stop the Northern Mountain Clan’s invasion and suppression.
The Blood Sword Sect disciples withdrew from Guniu Ridge with their relatives. If the Northern Mountain did not chase after them, it would already be the biggest concession.
Otherwise, it would be easy for Blood Sword Sect cultivators and disciples to escape, but it would not be easy for tens of thousands of relatives, children, and families to escape from the boundless wilderness.
The Blood Sword Sect invaded the Northern Mountain, destroying the Northern Mountain City that the Nine Clans had painstakingly built for more than ten years, and killing thousands of disciples and clansmen of the Nine Clans of the Northern Mountain. This blood debt was not something that Yang Zhu could write off with a single stroke of his hand.
In this battle, apart from the thousand disciples of the Blood Sword Sect, there were hundreds of disciples who knelt down in fear and became captives of the Northern Mountain when they saw that they had no chance of escaping from the Heavenly Corpse Lake.
Since it was useless to keep these captives, Beishan naturally wouldn’t let them go so easily. He would need their relatives to redeem them with large sums of money.
This was also the rule between the sects and clans of the Wilderness. All that could be negotiated was the price.
The Blood Sword Sect was unknown ten years ago. In these past few years, many clans and sects had been secretly encouraged by Mount Yi Sect and Mystical Frost Sect to merge into the Blood Sword Sect. Many of them were disciples from these two sects. Chen Xun believed that the two sects could not ignore them.
Apart from these three points, Beishan did not mention any more conditions. The current strength of Beishan did not support them in proposing any more conditions.
The Su Clan firmly insisted that Beishan had the right to retaliate against Blood Sword Sect. The Yishan Sect should abide by the agreement with the Su Clan and not interfere in the war between Beishan and Blood Sword Sect.
After several days of stalemate, Yi Qinghu could not agree to the conditions of the Northern Mountain and allow the Blood Sword Sect to withdraw from the Guniu Ridge, and settle the war between the Northern Mountain and the Blood Sword Sect with equipment forging materials worth no less than 20 million jin of scarlet copper.
*************************
“Old Kui, only Grandpa and Senior Cyanwood know about you in Beishan now …”
Chen Xun called Grandpa Sect Diagram and Zuo Qingmu into the stone room to meet Old Kui.
Kui Long removed the hood that covered his face and looked at Zong Tu. Zuo Qingmu stood there respectfully and smiled bitterly, “I’m just a wisp of a remnant soul in an iron shell. Please call me Mr. Kui …”
That’s what he said, but Zong Tu and Zuo Qingmu didn’t dare to be disrespectful to the ancient Kui Dragon Divine Beast that had a lifespan of 20,000 years. Chen Xun pulled them over with a heart filled with anxiety. It was Chen Xun who pulled them down before he sat down and spoke.
“The nine races of the Northern Mountains can move directly to the vicinity of Jade Pillar Peak to build a new stronghold. In this way, they can set up mountain protection formations on the cold lake to protect the Void Origin Secret Palace from outsiders.” Kui Long said.
“Alright, alright, it’s up to Mr. Kui.” Zong Tu and Zuo Qingmu hurriedly nodded.
“This isn’t appropriate,” Chen Xun shook his head. “Although the Northern Mountain is still weak, directly going to the Jade Pillar Peak to build a city stronghold seems to be too ambitious. It looks like he wants to swallow the lake wasteland. Secondly, it will be called the Mount Yi Sect. The Su Clan guesses that there are more secrets hidden beneath the Jade Pillar Peak and the cold pool. The Western Wilderness was definitely not just the Yishan Sect and the Azure Water College. There were even more ancient sects and clans in the west. “Attracting their gazes to the vicinity of Jade Pillar Peak and Frost Lake is not a good thing …”
If Chen Xun had anything to say, he wouldn’t be as reserved as Grandpa Zongtu and Zuo Qingmu.
Old Kui’s soul was strong, but he wasn’t good at strategy, so Chen Xun wouldn’t listen to his opinion on this matter.
The battle between the Northern Mountain and the Blood Sword Sect would ensure at least ten to twenty years of peace in the Lake Wilderness.
The Void Origin Secret Palace was hidden thousands of meters beneath the cold lake. As long as no sect or tribe set up a large-scale mountain protection formation above the cold lake, even if ordinary cultivators passed by, they would never discover the secrets in the depths of the cold lake.
Chen Xun continued, “On the other hand, the Xuanyang Spirit Acupoint beneath the Jade Pillar Peak has been destroyed. Only the Frost Pool Spirit Acupoint is difficult to sustain the further development of the Northern Mountain. The Python Fang Ridge has always been the foothold of the Northern Mountain and cannot be abandoned lightly. During your ten thousand years of hibernation in the Azure Water Ridge, the Python Ridge stretched for thousands of kilometers. The depths of the Absolute Ridge, the Spirit Acupoints and the Spiritual Veins are probably more well hidden than any of us.”
Kui Long bitterly smiled and said, “Alright, I can’t trick you. Speaking of spirit veins, go up Wild Horse Stream. Three hundred miles away, there is a large puddle called Dragon Creek Lake. It is indeed a main spirit vein of the northern mountain of Python Fang Ridge. I was afraid that some sects in the Western Wilderness or Cloud Continent would find it interesting to block the spirit veins of Dragon Creek Lake Lake …”
Chen Xun couldn’t help but roll his eyes. He said that even Meng Mountain had nearly twenty spirit veins, spirit acupoints, and Python Fang Ridge’s terrain was much more steep and majestic than Meng Mountain’s. How could there be fewer spirit veins and spirit acupoints?
He hadn’t expected that Old Kui had made a move.
Luckily, Old Kui had made a move. Otherwise, Python Fang Ridge would have long been targeted by other sects, and it would not have been the turn of the nine races of the Northern Mountains to occupy this treasure land.
“When I was young, I heard from my clansmen that there were divine dragons in the Dragon Creek Lake a thousand years ago. That’s why I used the name of the Dragon Creek, but I don’t know if it was Mr. Kui who appeared.” Zuo Qingmu said.
Chen Xun spread out his hands. The Void Origin Secret Palace had been hidden in Jade Pillar Peak for 10,000 years. Kui Long, Chang Zhen, and the other old monsters could be said to be the ancient devil gods of this land. Many of the names of the places were naturally closely related to them. He asked Old Kui, “This place used to be called Mountain Parasol, but it was later renamed Python Fang Ridge. Is it related to the old python?”
“It seems so.” Kui Long thought that they had been hibernating in this land for too long.
