The Great Wild God - Chapter 479
Chapter 479 Return To Mountain Parasol
When Chen Xun left Hengyun Mountain, he left a Golden Scaled Ship and twenty thousand Cyan Flame Lotus Arrows to the Hengyun Sect.
Thanks to the supply of the Nine Nether Iron, the Kui Long Pavilion could only refine 20,000 Green Flame Lotus Arrows a year. Previously, it mainly supplied the Xuandu Sect to defend against the demons gathered in Darkness Ridge. Fortunately, Cang Lan had not experienced any major battles in the past 40 to 50 years, and only 300,000 to 500,000 Green Flame Lotus Arrows had been accumulated.
Crosswise Cloud Sect was one of the few large sects west of the West Jersey Sea. Even if they didn’t deliberately gather three to five hundred elite archers, it wouldn’t be a problem.
Three hundred elite archers shot the Cyan Flame Lotus Arrow at the same time, and they could even tear apart the Sealing Grade Mountain Protection Formation. This way, they would be able to make up for the lack of high-end combat power of the Cross Cloud Sect to the greatest extent possible.
As for the Golden Scaled Ship, it was refined into the Purple Night Profound Bomb Formation. Unless the enemy had an absolute advantage in encircling them, none of the three to five Aspect realm experts would be able to tear apart the protective spirit shield of the Golden Scaled Ship.
The Divine Guards only had twenty Dragon Fang warships of the Golden Scaled Ship level. They believed that Madam Yu wouldn’t have too many of them. Moreover, the Spirit Gathering restriction of the Golden Scaled Ship merged with the Purple Night Profound Bomb Formation. Even if the Hengyun Sect lost, they would have no choice but to abandon the western foot of Hengyun. With the Golden Scalmed Scaled Ship and other small and medium-sized airborne warships, they would be able to withdraw.
Of course, none of this is free.
At this moment, Chen Xun didn’t know how many forces in Cloud Continent would interfere in the Northwest Domain, and the Northwest Domain stretched for nearly 100,000 kilometers. There were thousands of sects, large and small. Even if Mountain Parasol had the key to support a dozen or so clans and emptied his family, he still didn’t have the ability to secretly support so many weapons and magical artifacts.
With barter, the Hengyun Sect received the support of these powerful weapons and warships. Mountain Parasol could also obtain the Scarlet Essence Primeval Copper, Nine Nether Iron, Dark Gold, Thunderclouds Stone, and other refining resources from the Hengyun Sect in Hengyun Mountain, Chenjinjiang, and other areas.
Separate needs are the only long-term ways of cooperation.
**********************
Chen Xun returned to Mountain Parasol. In less than ten days, news of the Spirit Jun Palace invading the Hengyun Sect came again. However, this time, the Spirit Jun Palace did not take advantage of him at all.
Apart from the only two Dragon Fang Boats destroyed by the Hengyun Sect, there were three other disciples of the Spirit Jun Palace who were killed along with hundreds of disciples who invaded the Hengyun Sect. Even the Sect Leader of the Spirit Jun Sect, Xie Lingchan, who had just broken through to the True Body Form ten years ago, was heavily injured and his cultivation had plummeted to the Heaven Origin Realm.
The power of the Spirit Jun Palace that had swallowed the Ten Commanderies of Hengyun had been suppressed by this blow.
The news that Chen Xun had ambushed True Monarch Crimson Brow in the Heavenly Furnace Secret Although it had already been sent back to Cloud Continent, the vast majority of the sects in Cloud Continent did not know the details of True Monarch Crimson Brow’s death. After the Crossing Cloud Sect defeated the Spirit Jun Palace, the Cyan Flame Lotus Arrow shone again, causing the sects to speculate that the Cyan Flame Lotus Arrow would definitely play an indispensable role in killing True Monarch Crimson Brow and the Tian Clan experts.
Over the years, including the Heaven Mending Pavilion, they had imitated the Azure Flame Lotus Arrow and refined consumable arrows like the Heavenly Flame Lightning Arrow, the Divine Sword Explosion Flame Arrow, and the Azure Fang Poison Arrow. However, the refining process was rather complicated and the price was extremely high.
A few sects had come to Mountain Parasol several times before, hoping to purchase the Cyan Flame Lotus Arrow from him in case they were unharmed. However, Mountain Parasol was under tremendous pressure to prepare for the battle, and only a small amount of it was supplied to the Xuandu Sect. The other sects were all rejected.
Fifty to sixty years later, the sects of the Northwest Region no longer wanted to obtain such a sharp weapon as the Cyan Flame Lotus Arrow from Mountain Parasol.
This time, the Horizontal Cloud Sect had actually used the Cyan Flame Lotus Arrow in a bow formation to defeat the invading enemy that Spirit Jun Palace had the absolute advantage over. Many sects in the Northwest immediately noticed the strange situation behind it. Of course, they didn’t want to miss this rare opportunity. In the past few days when Chen Xun had returned to Mountain Parasol, they had all sent people over to ask for an audience.
******************
After Chen Xun returned to Mountain Parasol, he didn’t have time to deal with these complicated matters. After meeting up with Scarlet Pine Tree, Hu Taiyan, Ji Lie, Zuo Qingmu, and Gu Wentian, he rushed to the Tushan Southern Ridge.
Probably because he was afraid that the four sects of Mountain Parasol would take revenge, Gu Yangzi fled back to Cloud Continent in panic. Not only did the Gu Yang Sect withdraw from Gushan overnight, Mansion of Marquis Martial also withdrew from the Southern Mountain Ridge of Tu Mountain in a very short period of time.
Because the spatial passageway to and from the Heavenly Furnace Secret Realm had been controlled by the Spirit Heaven Army for a long time, Crimson Pine, Ji Lie, and the others had delayed for nearly a month before they learned that Chen Xun had successfully ambushed True Monarch Crimson Brow and Cang Yazi in Qingwu Ridge.
At that time, even the clans and small sects of Mansion of Marquis Martial and Gu Yang Sect began to withdraw from the southern foothills of Mount Tu and the vicinity of Mount Gu. The direct descendants of the Gu Yang Sect and Mansion of Marquis Martial had gone somewhere.
Apart from the Heavenly Jun Great World, Kunzhou State, and Heavenly Furnace Secret, the Western Ancestral Dragon Mountain also controlled the spatial passageways to other small and medium sized worlds. Chen Xun thought to himself that if the direct descendants of the Gu Yang Sect and Mansion of Marquis Martial didn’t dare to stay in Cloud Continent, they would have moved to another Heavenly Domain.
Although the time left for Mansion of Marquis Martial was extremely short, before Jiang Jue left, he had basically taken away everything that he could.
Even though the small and medium-sized clans that were unwilling to follow Jiang Jue did not receive any retaliatory blow, the accumulations within the clans were almost all looted by Mansion of Marquis Martial.
However, the tens of millions of people who had moved to the southern foothills of Mount Tu in the past few years could not be moved away by Mansion of Marquis Martial.
With such a large population, every fifteen to sixteen years, more than a thousand disciples with ten thousand talents would stand out from the crowd.
When Chen Xun returned to Mountain Parasol, the first thing he did was to pacify the remaining small and medium-sized clans with Crimson Pine Child, Ji Lie, and the others. As long as they were willing to merge with Cang Lan, the four sects would not be cleansed. Even if they were unwilling to submit, the four sects would still give them enough time to move away.
When Gu Yangzi returned to Gushan, the Gu Yang Sect was divided.
With the support of Lord Crimson Brow, Gu Yangzi founded the Gu Yang Sect at the eastern foot of Gushan Mountain.
Previously, the small and medium-sized sects and clans that belonged to Divine Night Sect’s outer sect had either chose to merge with the Gu Yang Sect because they enjoyed the cool feeling under the trees, or because of Lord Crimson Brow’s might, they chose to merge with the Gu Yang Sect.
In the short span of thirty to fifty years, the Gu Yang Sect had more than two thousand disciples at the Reincarnation Realm. Apart from Gu Yangzi, there were also seven people with cultivation above the Origin Core Realm.
Lord Crimson Brow’s death was over. Gu Yangzi fled like a stray dog. He didn’t know where there was a shelter in the world. He wasn’t Gu Yangzi, Lord Crimson Brow’s direct descendant. Most people were unwilling to abandon their mortal relatives and flee with Gu Yangzi to the horizon.
Of the seven Origin Core Adepts of the Gu Yang Sect, only two escaped from Gushan with Gu Yangzi.
Since the other five Origin Core Realm cultivators had joined Lord Crimson Brow and Gu Yangzi, their bodies had also been branded by the Gu Yang Sect. They did not dare to stay in Gushan and wait for Mountain Parasol to cleanse them. They simply ran over to ask for help from Mountain Parasol.
These people weren’t Lord Crimson Brow, Gu Yangzi’s direct descendants, and they didn’t have any intractable enmity with Mountain Parasol. At the same time, they were all outer sect forces that had set up sects from Divine Night Sect, and they were old acquaintances with Crimson Pine, Hu Taiyan, Zhao Chengen, Gu Wentian, and Zhou Yang.
When Chen Xun returned to Mountain Parasol, there were five Origin Pill Taoist waiting for him to accept him. In terms of seniority, they should be considered his Martial Uncle, Martial Uncle.
Even if their thoughts of hugging Lord Crimson Brow’s thigh were understandable, no matter how many of the five Origin Pill Taoist and their large number of disciples were spies arranged by Gu Yangzi, Chen Xun could not allow them to directly integrate into the four sects of Mountain Parasol.
Chen Xun, Crimson Song Zi, Hu Taiyan, and Ji Lie discussed and drew out five branch mountains from the Tu Shandong foothills, allowing the five martial uncles to lead their disciples to set up the sect. This was also considered a branch of the five branches outside the core of the four sects of Mountain Parasol; Disciples with exceptionally outstanding aptitudes from the side branches of the Five Elements could be selected to cultivate in Mountain Parasol after rigorous examination.
Apart from the core area of Tu Mountain, the ridge between the eastern edge and the Wuteng Sand Sea was clearly divided into Cang Lan’s territory.
Apart from rebuilding Azure Water City at the west entrance of the Azure Water Rift Valley, the four sects also decided to set up Wuteng Prefecture at the east entrance of the Azure Water Rift Valley and subordinate all the tributary mountains at the east foot to Wuteng Prefecture.
In the future, the four sects of Mountain Parasol would also take Wuteng Prefecture as their core and establish extensive and direct ties with the Northwest Region.
Fu Qingshu, the protector of the Horizontal Cloud Sect, would also rent a spirit vein at the northwest corner of Wuteng City and lead hundreds of young disciples to build a city wall there to serve as the contact point between the Horizontal Cloud Sect and Mountain Parasol.
Chen Xun had returned to Mountain Parasol less than half a month ago, so the Fan Clan’s ancestor, Fan Jindao of Chu Prefecture, had also rushed to Mountain Parasol to meet Chen Xun.
Fan Jindao was one of the few remaining Dharma Realm experts in the Northwest Region. At one point, the Fan Clan was extremely close to Mansion of Marquis Martial. However, during the Battle of the Thousand Devil Sand Sea, the Fan Clan’s disciples were almost annihilated by Jiang Bin and the others in the Sea of Devil Skeletons. Even Fan Jindao himself almost died.
After that, the Fan Clan parted ways with Mansion of Marquis Martial. Fan Jindao had also cultivated in seclusion for decades and was no longer in front of Lord Crimson Brow and Jiang Xu, the Marquis of the Origin realm.
In the current situation in the Northwest Region, both the Fan Clan and the Horizontal Cloud Sect were considered to be first-rate clans and sects. However, for those 36 God General descendants who wanted to enter the Northwest Region to share the food, their strength was too weak.
“Four thousand years ago, Emperor Xi Wu swore an oath to separate Cloud Continent from the seven sects. After so many years, apart from a few disciples from Jiang who were able to go directly to the territories under the seven sects to become Marquises, the Thirty-Six Divine Generals have mainly squeezed out their descendants to develop in the Central Region.”
When Fan Jindao saw Chen Xun, Ji Lie, and Hu Taiyan on the ruins of Azure Water City, he straightforwardly said what he thought.
‘”Right now, the Thirty-Six Divine Generals are no weaker than the Six Sects in terms of power development. Now that the Northwest Region has finally left such a big gap and Mountain Parasol has completely eliminated the threat posed by the demons, how could they not reach out and enter? Hengyun Mountain is only the beginning …”
Chen Xun smiled bitterly. In the past, they had guessed which family God-controller Mansion would arrange to fill in, but now it seemed that they had to consider which of them would not want to reach out and enter?
Even the Wei Clan and the Su Clan would probably lose control of their greed if they thought of how they could carve out two to three times more territory in the Northwest Region than the original fief, right?
Chen Xun finally understood why Jiang Nanke had sent a message on behalf of God-controller Mansion when he was at Qingwu Ridge, suggesting that Mountain Parasol should not interfere in the affairs of the sect east of Tushan. Behind this was Su Junchen, Su Muchen, and True Monarch Pinecrane.
Chen Xun had left 20,000 Green Flame Lotus Arrows and one Golden Scaled Ship to the Horizontal Cloud Sect. However, considering the subsequent effects, he would not immediately agree to anything from the Fan Clan.
After Fan Jindao left, Zhao Chengen happened to come back from Zhou Wushan to see Chen Xun. After knowing what Fan Jindao said, he said,
“We secretly support the Horizontal Cloud Sect and interrupt the Yu Clan’s claws that are biting towards the Northwest Domain. I’m afraid that the Qing Clan will also be displeased.”
Ji Lie’s temper was very stiff, and he said with his sleeves, “During the several devastating calamities, there was a large amount of blank space around Divine Night Mountain and Yuanwu Prefecture, which accounted for almost one-third of the northwest region.” God-controller Mansion could openly declare these territories to the Thirty-Six Divine Generals’ descendants, local clans, and sects, so they could hold their noses and endure it. “They are greedy and want to carve up the entire Northwest Region. No matter how weak their strength is, they will still call out twice!”
Hu Taiyan sighed with emotion, “Since they are both from the Qing Clan, if the Su Clan and the Wei Clan really want to interfere in the Northwest Region, they can tell us clearly. As long as they don’t have a bottom line like the Kaiyang Yu Clan, they support three to five vassal sects and the clan occupies three to four thousand kilometers, what can it be?”
“It’s just King Qing’s thigh. We still need to hug him now,” Zhao Cheng’en said via voice transmission. “Otherwise, the Black Yin Ridge will continue to drag on. Three months ago, the Black Yin Ridge was shaken again. The Xuandu Sect is worried that the demons might open another spatial rift leading to the demon ruins in Black Yin Ridge!”
Chen Xun pondered for a moment before saying, “This matter of the Horizontal Cloud Sect cannot be considered a completely bad thing. There is a hidden chaos in the Northwest Domain, and King of Qing’s ability to eliminate the chaos in the Northwest Domain does not just mean that he has the ability to govern Cloud Continent.” I will write a letter to King of Qing stressing that Mountain Parasol has no ambitions in the Northwest, but that the Northwest needs time to rest and recuperate, and that King of Qing should play its part. On the Darkness Ridge side, I will meet Daoist Yang Kun with Cheng En in two days to see if there are any plans from the Xuandu Sect … ”
“I’m also going to Zhou Wushan,” Ji Lie said. “An old bone hasn’t moved for a long time. If it doesn’t move, it’s going to rust.”
Chen Xun was going to Zhou Wushan to fight Darkness Ridge.
Zong Ya, Su Tang, and Qing Xuan didn’t stay to continue cultivating in the Heavenly Furnace. They also wanted to gather all the strength they could muster around Zhou Wushan and launch an offensive against Darkness Ridge together with the Xuandu Sect …
