After visiting Angel Ling Xin, Su Miaoyin didn't go back to bed, but went back to the meeting hall to arrange the strategy.
In front of her eyes, the majestic and winding Kunlun Mountain Range had been condensed into a one zhang square sand table. The mountains, rivers, and rivers were extremely fine. Many small flags of different colors were inserted into the sand table, as if there were tens of thousands of troops.
Su Miaoyin was still holding a flag, frowning and thinking.
At this time, outside the house, a figure walked quickly. The wind and rain didn't touch her clothes, as if she was in harmony with nature. It was obvious that she had an extraordinary cultivation. It was Ji Fengming.
As soon as Ji Fengming entered the door, she said, "My little brother came to see me."
"Little brother?" Su Miaoyin slightly raised her eyebrows.
Ji Fengming said, "It's Ying Feiyang. He and I have become brothers."
Su Miaoyin laughed, and said in a mocking and admonishing tone, "Oh, you just lost a brother, and now you have another brother. Mu Zixuan is not enough to teach you a lesson. You want to be like your Master and be natural, but you can't hide your sentimental and righteous nature. Unfortunately, you treat people with sincerity, but others may not treat you with the same sincerity. Be careful that one day, your sentimental nature will cost you your life."
"I can't be as heartless as Lord Su. You can even use the life of Angel Ling Xin to provoke my little brother." Ji Fengming raised her eyebrows, and said with a sense of blame.
Su Miaoyin only responded indifferently, "If you think I am provoking you, then you still don't know me well. I have already given up the life of Angel Ling Xin twenty years ago."
Ji Fengming unfolded her folding fan and said coldly, "No matter whether you provoke me or not, it is not necessary. My little brother is a chivalrous man, and he killed my Master with the Six Dao. Whether it is public or private, he has his own responsibility. He can disregard his life and death, and he is duty-bound. Lord Su doesn't need to do this."
Su Miao Yin was still as cold as before, "Young man's will is the hardest to predict. You might think that you already know enough about Ying Feiyang, but I don't have the time to think about his character. What I need is to be absolutely safe."
Hearing this, Ji Fengming's eyes flashed with anger, but it quickly turned into pity. She sighed and said, "Sect Master Su said that I treat people with sincerity, but I may not be able to get people to treat me with sincerity. But I see that Sect Master Su is someone who can calculate people's hearts, and it's even harder to see sincerity … Actually, I know very well that you and my little brother both care about Goddess Ling Xin in different ways, but I always feel that one day, you will also go to war because of Goddess."
Su Miaoyin's lips curved into a cold arc. "If that day really comes, which side will you stand on?"
Ji Fengming shook her head and said, "Sect Leader Su is a good friend of Honored Master, and is also a senior that I respect. Ying Feiyang is my brother, so I can only stand in the middle and do my best to prevent that day from coming."
"Still … naive." Su Miaoyin seemed to be touched, but then she changed the topic and said seriously, "You didn't come here just to say this, right? Ying Feiyang should have asked you to bring a message."
"Yes." Ji Fengming nodded and said word by word, "Ying Feiyang said that you should give the most important position to him!"
"Can he?" Su Miaoyin asked.
"He can!" Ji Fengming said firmly.
"Heh, with your words, I can put down the flag!" Su Miaoyin raised her hand, and the flag that she had been holding for a long time flew into the sand table. The flag fluttered, and it was inserted into the highest peak of Kunlun Mountain!
Su Miaoyin looked down at the sand table in front of her, as if she was finishing the arrangement of a stratagem, and said, "After all, it depends on who is stronger. Tomorrow morning, the army will set off to reclaim Kunlun!"
Ji Fengming found it hard to suppress the excitement in his eyes. Taking back Kunlun and taking back the Wanxiang Heavenly Palace. In the past three years, he had been thinking about this matter every moment, but when it came to it, he quickly calmed down.
Now, Wei Wushuang, who he relied on the most, hadn't recovered yet, and Six Path Evil Extermination didn't give Wei Wushuang time to recover either. He opened the Clear Sky Altar and forced the Righteous and Evil Sects to fight the final battle. The battle of Qing Cheng Mountain had just ended. Facing the allied forces of Animal Path, Hungry Ghost Path, and Hell Path, the Righteous Sect only had a small victory.
Now, the situation was reversed. Without Wei Wushuang, the Righteous Sect's allied forces were facing the most complete Six Path Reincarnation Formation at the foot of Kunlun Mountain. The odds of victory were really chilling. Unless …
"Those sects finally decided to help?" Ji Fengming raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Di Lingtian used the Clear Sky Altar to absorb the Earth Veins, causing the Spiritual Qi to be out of balance. Natural disasters and earthly disasters occur frequently. This is a pain to them. They can't ignore it." Su Miaoyin sneered and said with endless mockery, "Even if time is tight and they can't send the main force, they will send a few elites. At the last moment, I believe those famous Righteous Sects will not be absent!"
- =
There were three religions and a hundred schools of Righteous Sects. Among them, the ten most famous sects were called the Ten Major Sects.
This time, the Six Path Evil Extermination disaster mainly affected the Heavenly Path. Therefore, the sects scattered in the other fifteen territories of Tang Dynasty were not affected. Although they shouted the slogan "Kill the Six Path Evil Extermination together" loudly, they didn't put in much effort, and were suspected of watching from the sidelines.
But now, the situation was different.
With a hundred thousand strings of string around his waist, he rode a crane down to Yangzhou.
Yangzhou had been a prosperous and affluent place since ancient times. In the current dynasty, there was a saying, "Raise one and benefit two". It was like a treasure bowl of Tang Dynasty.
By the Slender West Lake in Yangzhou, a small building shining with jewels stood in the vast mist. It was the head pavilion of Exquisite Treasure Pavilion, one of the Ten Major Sects.
Compared with other sects, Exquisite Treasure Pavilion was more like a chamber of commerce formed by practitioners. It had branches in the fifteen territories of Tang Dynasty, even in the Western Region, Nanzhao, and Korea. From daily necessities such as food and herbs to magic treasures and secret books, as long as there was demand, the shadow of Exquisite Treasure Pavilion could always be seen. Perhaps it was not an exaggeration to say that its wealth was comparable to that of a country.
However, few people knew the real identity of the current head of Exquisite Treasure Pavilion, who had incalculable wealth.
Some people said that he was worried that others would covet his wealth, so he dared not show his face in public. Some people said that he was actually a spy of the demon race in the human race. That was why he would suck the last bit of money from other practitioners, and because of this, he could not show his face in public.
Even more mysterious was that Exquisite Treasure Pavilion did not have a head, or that "wealth" itself was the head of Exquisite Treasure Pavilion. Out of the common pursuit of wealth, everyone in Exquisite Treasure Pavilion, from the head shopkeeper to the shopkeeper, to the servants, to the craftsmen, were willing to be driven by "wealth" and become slaves to it. For the sake of profit, regardless of risk, they would do anything, just to make more and more wealth.
Zhang Guanqing, who had been promoted to the head shopkeeper, knew that the head of Exquisite Treasure Pavilion did exist, but it was not wrong to say that he was the embodiment of wealth.
To be more precise, it should be "she".
Zhang Guanqing saw with his own eyes that she had joined Exquisite Treasure Pavilion for less than twenty years, but she started out as an ordinary craftsman, rose step by step, and finally became the head of Exquisite Treasure Pavilion. Before her, Exquisite Treasure Pavilion, which had been established for more than a hundred years, was already on its last legs, showing signs of decay. It was she who revolutionized the old and established the new. Using her skills, she brought Exquisite Treasure Pavilion back to life, reaching an unprecedented golden age. Today, Exquisite Treasure Pavilion, which was scattered in various places, seemed to have formed a blood supply network. What was supplied was an endless supply of goods, and what was returned was rolling wealth.
Therefore, Zhang Guanqing was both respectful and fearful of her, especially when she was reporting bad news.
"… Reporting to the head of Pavilion, the branches in Huainan, Jiannan, Lingnan, and other places have all reported back. Recently, the percentage of damage caused by the new magical weapons has risen to seventy percent. In the past few days, the calculated losses have reached a hundred thousand strings of coins. The branches slightly further away have not reported back yet, but the final loss is estimated to reach thirty strings of coins …"
"Also, the three batches of medicinal herb cargo ships sent to Yi Province have been blocked by the heavy rain in the canal. If the weather does not clear up soon, the medicinal herbs in the cargo ships will become damp and mold …"
While reporting, Zhang Guanqing secretly raised his head, trying to see the face of the head of Exquisite Treasure Pavilion. However, he forgot that there was a curtain between the two of them, and he could only see a blurry figure. The figure opened her mouth, and a graceful voice of an emotionless woman sounded, "Has the cause been investigated?"
Zhang Guanqing said, "According to the letter from the head of Young Pavilion …"
As soon as the words left his mouth, he was interrupted. The voice of the woman continued, "In Exquisite Treasure Pavilion, there is no such position as' Young Pavilion Master '. Those who join other sects will no longer have any value in Exquisite Treasure Pavilion. If you don't know how to address him, my prodigal son can do the same as me, and call him' Losers'."
Zhang Guanqing cried bitterly in his heart, "This is between you and your mother. Do you think you can call him that? How can I, Old Zhang, call him that?" However, he did not dare to say it directly, and only vaguely mentioned the title. He said, "Anyway, he sent a letter, saying that it's all because the Six Paths of Evil Destruction is absorbing the Qi of the earth, and wants to start the Pure Sky Ceremony for Di Lingtian. Once the ceremony is completed, Di Lingtian will be unstoppable, so he wants the head of Exquisite Treasure Pavilion to send reinforcements as soon as possible, in case the disaster happens and you are powerless to reverse the situation!"
The head of Exquisite Treasure Pavilion snorted lightly, and said, "A losers is a losers. The moment he opens his mouth, it's a losers business."
Seeing this, Zhang Guanqing asked, "Then this business, are we not going to do it?"
Behind the curtain, the head of Exquisite Treasure Pavilion said, "Of course we're going to do it, why not? The Six Paths of Evil Destruction is absorbing the Qi of the earth, causing disasters everywhere, and blocking the trade routes. Moreover, the creation of instruments requires spiritual energy, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is out of balance, so how can we create instruments? As long as the Six Paths of Evil Destruction is not eliminated, we will only suffer more and more losses. Immediately gather the shopkeepers of Huainan, Jiannan, and Lingnan, and tell them that it doesn't matter if they pay a lot of money or do it themselves, within a day, the three paths must recruit a hundred experts and send them to aid Su Miaoyin and the others. At the same time, open up the storehouses, and no matter if it's talismans or instruments, as long as they can store it, they can bring it all along. "
Zhang Guanqing was dumbfounded, it was one thing to pay a lot of money to recruit experts, after all, no matter how much the reward was, only the living could receive it, but to allow the recruited people to take any instruments or talismans from the storehouses, with their head of Exquisite Treasure Pavilion's style, he was really going all out. Zhang Guanqing couldn't help but say, "This time, regardless of whether we win or lose, we will suffer a huge loss …"
But the head of Exquisite Treasure Pavilion sneered, "If we lose, we will naturally lose everything, but if we win, I will be able to earn back tenfold. Also, secretly send a message to the shopkeepers, the continuous torrential rain has sunk the ships in the canal, the supply of herbs is running low, the medicine cannot be produced, and the stock is completely depleted. "
Zhang Guanqing corrected, "Head of Exquisite Treasure Pavilion, our ships have only been blocked by the wind and rain, they have not sunk …"
"I said they have sunk." Behind the curtain, the calm yet dignified voice of the head of Exquisite Treasure Pavilion sounded.
"Yes, your subordinate will arrange for the ships to be sunk at once!" Zhang Guanqing was shocked, and immediately understood the intention of the head of Exquisite Treasure Pavilion. If they lost this battle, the Exquisite Treasure Pavilion would no longer be able to do business in a stable manner, so the head of Exquisite Treasure Pavilion would not hesitate to mobilize the largest amount of resources in the shortest time possible to aid in this decisive battle.
But even if they won this battle, the casualties would definitely be heavy, and they would definitely need a large amount of medicine, and the head of Exquisite Treasure Pavilion's intention was to make medicine a rare commodity.
If the three ships of herbs were to arrive at Yi Province after the battle, it would only drive down the price of the herbs, and if the three ships of herbs were to be detained and not be shipped, it would become a matter of gossip, and their intention to hoard and profit from the war would be exposed. Therefore, the head of Exquisite Treasure Pavilion would rather sink the ships and destroy the herbs in front of everyone.
Although they had lost three ships of herbs, the price of the remaining herbs in the three southern paths could increase by more than tenfold.
Although he understood the intention of the head of Exquisite Treasure Pavilion, Zhang Guanqing still broke out in a cold sweat. But the nature of a businessman, and the huge profits behind him, urged him to do as he was told. Just as he was about to leave, he heard the head of Exquisite Treasure Pavilion call him back, and he reminded him in a self-mocking manner, "Oh right, when you are hoarding, remember to let the other chambers of commerce that we secretly control do it. We, the Exquisite Treasure Pavilion, have used up all our resources to destroy the Six Dao, so don't ruin our reputation, after all, we are …"
"A prestigious and upright sect!"
