The war between Kunlun and Shura Dao at Tiecheng Mountain attracted the attention of almost the entire cultivation world.
The Yin Gui Dao, Tian Mo Dao, Dong Huang Dao, and the Fan Sheng Dao quickly organized reinforcements, heading west from the Qinling Mountains, and rushed thousands of miles to support Tiecheng Mountain.
Penglai responded quickly and organized a batch of supplies to support Kunlun... It’s not that they were unwilling to send people, but mainly because Kunlun did not recommend that Penglai monks participate in the war. Those who understand will understand.
Qiu Changtian still went to the foot of Tiecheng Mountain to fight and provoke every day. He would beat the Shura Dao monks who came to challenge him half to death, and then send them back to the sect to spread terror.
Xu Yinglian looked on with envy and volunteered to fight Master Ziwei.
So the number of people who had been fighting in the desert for a long time increased from one to two... This was terrible news for Shura Dao, because the consumption rate of consumables had also doubled, and now two people had to be sent out to fight.
Fortunately, after a few days, the allies of Jiejiao finally came to help, which made the Shura Dao monks finally breathe a sigh of relief. They quickly led them into Tiecheng Mountain and entertained them.
It is still unknown what happened in Tiecheng Mountain. In any case, Kunlun quickly convened a high-level meeting to discuss how to deal with the support from the Demon Cult.
"First of all, the Demon Cult's arrival was something we had anticipated." Qiu Changtian said calmly, "If we had not besieged Tiecheng Mountain, the Demon Cult would have sent a large army north by now to cut off our connection with Guanzhong."
"Now, as long as we stay at the foot of Tiecheng Mountain, Shura Dao will not allow our allies to leave Tiecheng Mountain. In this way, Guanzhong will not be in any danger. This is how we turn passivity into initiative."
The Kunlun elders nodded one after another.
What he said is indeed correct. After all, the reason why Kunlun suppressed Tiecheng Mountain was not to uproot Shura Dao, but to contain the subsequent actions of the Demon Cult.
As long as the Demon Cult army is contained in Tiecheng Mountain, then the strategic goal will be achieved... Master Chang Geng said it well!
"So, what should we do next?" Elder Yuanshou asked with a fake smile, "Master Chang Geng, now both sides are facing each other at Tiecheng Mountain. If we are not careful, there will be heavy casualties!"
"This is very easy. Senior, please listen to me." Qiu Changtian smiled slightly. "Now the armies of both sides are concentrated in Tiecheng Mountain, and neither side can act rashly. We are worried about casualties if we start a war rashly. Isn't the Demon Cult the same?"
"More importantly, the Demon Cult is not a monolithic entity, but is divided into five factions. Whichever faction suffers the greatest loss will be dissatisfied with the Demon Head Wei. Therefore, I think he should be more troubled than me at this moment."
Hahahaha! The Kunlun elders laughed in unison.
That's right, we in Kunlun are very united, but their Demon Sect is made up of five sects, and they only make peace with each other because of their own interests.
If we really consider the war losses, their internal intrigues are much more serious than ours!
"However, the key now is not in Tiecheng Mountain." Qiu Changtian waited for everyone to finish laughing before continuing, "It's in Guanzhong."
"If Guanzhong is lost, Tiecheng Mountain will win even if they win consecutive games, but the overall situation will still be a loss. If Guanzhong is saved, even if Tiecheng Mountain does not achieve any success, it will still win in the end. I think you seniors should understand this principle."
"That's right." Master Ziwei echoed, "We, Kunlun, went to the battle this time to protect the resources in Guanzhong from being taken over by the Demon Sect, not to defeat Shura Dao for the sake of false reputation."
"Recently, I heard that some cultivators claimed that Chang Geng Zhenren always spared his opponent's life every time he went into battle, which was an unnecessary woman's kindness. This statement is really absurd."
"If we just kill people indiscriminately and force Tiecheng Mountain into a desperate situation and fight to the death, what good will it do to Kunlun? Why do we have to fight this battle? Elders, please go back and explain to your disciples. Don't let me hear such rumors next time. Otherwise, I will investigate to the end in the name of confusing the sect!"
He said the last few words while looking at Elder Yuanshou.
In fact, the elders present all knew exactly who sent those monks who spread rumors and slandered Qiu Changtian.
To be fair, most of the third-party neutral elders actually hope that the four major families of Kunlun will fight each other... What they fear most is that the four families are as close as one family, united as one, and monopolize all the resources, leaving nothing for others.
However, everyone can now clearly see that whether it is his talent in cultivation, realm strength, or wisdom and decision-making, Chang Geng has no rivals in the vast Kunlun.
The Zhao family of Guyuan resisted so stubbornly, using all means necessary, and even started to spread rumors: We clearly have the advantage in Tiecheng Mountain, and we have won battle after battle, but this can be said to be a case of being too soft-hearted. This is really outrageous.
It is because Master Chang Geng has high moral character and Master Ziwei has the overall situation in mind that they do not bother with your Guyuan Zhao family. If you continue to push your will, do you really want to fight to the death with the Xu family and tear Kunlun apart?
Sensing the unfriendly looks from the Kunlun elders, Elder Yuanshou felt a little embarrassed, but he said nothing and just sneered.
After the high-level meeting ended, Qiu Changtian was called by Master Ziwei.
"Chang Geng, you don't need to worry about the Zhao family's affairs. The Luo family has already talked to me about this matter the day before yesterday." The head of Ziwei Sect was wise and said calmly, "A few waves will not cause any big waves in the end."
"Next, you will go to Guanzhong to take charge of the overall situation, and let Qiongying come to Tiecheng Mountain."
Qiu Changtian nodded, thinking that the Luo family actually turned against them?
Yes, there is no irreconcilable conflict of interest between the Luo family and me. Now I already have a huge advantage in prestige within the family. It would be strange if the Luo family still couldn't see through this situation.
In this way, no matter how stubborn the Zhao family is, they will not be able to shake the overall situation.
Alas, I really don’t want to be the headmaster of Kunlun!
If the fragment of the Heaven-Repairing Stone is taken away, the Immortal Chisong will turn against us, and the successor of the headmaster will be forced to betray the sect. Wouldn't that be a huge joke for Kunlun? The more you value me now, the more pain you will suffer in the future!
But think about it carefully, Shushan and Penglai will have to go through this anyway, and Wei Dongliu even had the leader of the Six Paths betray the Six Paths. Considering that everyone will be embarrassed together, it’s actually not that bad, right?
Qiu Changtian was thinking about leaving when he saw Zhao Jinghong waiting outside. He said:
"Master Chang Geng, do you have time to chat with me?"
"Senior Brother Yunhong, what advice do you have?" Qiu Changtian certainly wouldn't be stupid enough to follow him.
What if I am taken to some place and a few elders from the Zhao family come out and kill me? Now that the Zhao family is clearly doomed, I have to be careful of you guys being desperate.
Seeing that Qiu Changtian had no intention of leaving, Zhao Jinghong sighed, looked around to see that there was no one around, and said in a low voice:
"Elder Yuanshou planned to set up an ambush on your way to Guanzhong, kill you, and then falsely attribute the crime to the Demon Cult."
Qiu Changtian: ???
No way, it's so perfect?!
"Brother Yunhong, why are you telling me this?" he asked leisurely.
"If this fails, the Guyuan Zhao family will have no chance of survival." Zhao Jinghong looked gloomy. "Even if it succeeds, how can we hide it from the Xu family and the Ge family?"
"I'm afraid Kunlun will be divided. How can we deal with the demon cult army?"
“Master Chang Geng, tell this to Master Ziwei and ask him to ask Immortal Chisong to come to the rescue. Immortals are wise and powerful, and they will definitely punish the main culprit and protect our Zhao family from this disaster, and also protect Kunlun from being hurt too badly… In fact, there are some elders in the clan who disagree with Elder Yuanshou’s tough attitude and have been put under house arrest by him.”
Hearing that an elder of the Zhao family was under house arrest by Yuanshou, Qiu Changtian immediately knew that this was probably true, and hurriedly said:
"Come with me to see the headmaster..."
Zhao Jinghong suddenly stepped back, shook his head and said:
"If I am detained by the headmaster, Elder Yuanshou will naturally become suspicious. This matter is of great importance and cannot be changed."
"Take my flying sword and go over. Master... He recognizes my flying sword and will know it at the first sight."
After saying that, Zhao Jinghong dropped his flying sword, then took out another flying sword, and quickly flew away on the sword, turning into light.
Qiu Changtian scanned for a moment and confirmed that there was no problem with the sword or the surroundings. Then he picked up the flying sword, turned around and walked into the headmaster's room.
