Bei Minghao's eyes were icy cold, and his heart was filled with murderous intent.
Who does this bastard think he is?
Who does he think he is?
They also followed the example of strategists from the past who offered advice.
Just as Bei Minghao was about to make an example of someone, a figure slowly stood up.
Ximen Qingshan patted Bei Minghao's shoulder heavily.
The meaning is self-evident.
He didn't care who was in command; whether it was Dongfang Quancheng or Bei Minghao, they were both from the four major families, so there was no difference.
But now he no longer intends to let Bei Minghao command. The reason why the four major families suffered such a crushing defeat in today's battle is partly due to Bei Minghao's inaction.
The first step was the hostage exchange. Bei Minghao clearly had the opportunity to arrange for someone to protect Dongfang Quancheng and help him escape first, but he made no preparations whatsoever.
Even if one or two Dharma Images were placed among those soldiers, it would be enough to stop Li Fan's attack.
That wasn't all; the subsequent decisions were even more egregiously flawed.
Despite repeated warnings from Lü Xiaoyi and Changping Tai to retreat, he stubbornly insisted on fighting to the death.
Moreover, placing all hopes for breaking the deadlock on others is more than just foolish.
Furthermore, nowadays, not only is there no post-war review, but even the retaliation is so mindless.
Asking allies to die for no reason would ruin the reputation of the four major families.
While the four great families are at their peak, this may not have much of an impact, but if one day the four great families encounter any setbacks, then they will inevitably suffer a complete defeat.
This outcome was clearly unacceptable to the four major families.
That's why Ximen Qingshan decided to step forward.
He looked at He Mu and asked, "Governor He, please speak!"
"Lord Ximen, Lord Beiming, the matter..."
He Mu quickly finished recounting the tragedy that occurred in Honghua Town, the capital of Hanjiang County, and the schemes of Liu Xiang and others.
When he finished speaking, Ximen Qingshan nodded in satisfaction and said, "Good, we will do it your way!"
He Mu's plan was simple, yet very effective.
First, seize the moral high ground, then issue widespread arrest warrants, and at the same time mobilize the state army to block all key roads.
At that point, Li Fan and his group naturally wouldn't be able to sit still.
Even if they continue to hide, with so many people living in one area, they will eventually reveal their weaknesses.
......
While He Mu and the others were on their way, Lou Xiaoguang and his two companions flew to the Lanjiang River.
A network of waterways stretches in all directions, and the river flows to the horizon.
"Brother Lou, are you sure Alliance Leader Li and the others are here?"
Li Tianjun asked with a puzzled look.
It was winter, and not only was the river deserted, but the aquatic plants that usually covered it were nowhere to be seen.
The entire river was completely visible, and there was no sign of anyone at all.
Could this be a secret location prepared by the Ten Thousand Blades Sect?
"To be honest, I'm not entirely sure either!"
This place was told to me by the Dragon Gate Master of the Ten Thousand Blades Sect.
Lou Xiaoguang replied.
After saying that, the three of them continued crossing the river.
About fifteen minutes passed, and they returned to the river they had flown over before.
The giant rock that had been standing quietly by the river split open, and a burly figure flew out from the dark cave.
The newcomer was none other than Long Daoji, the sect leader of the Ten Thousand Blades Sect.
"Sect Leader Long, this is Li Tianjun, the Jiangzhou head of Tingfeng Tower. He has important matters to report to Alliance Leader Li!"
Lou Xiaoguang stepped forward to introduce them.
"Come inside with me!"
Long Daoji nodded and then walked back into the passage.
Once the four entered the passage, the sound of mechanisms turning rang out, and the cracked boulder closed up again, leaving no trace visible from the outside.
This secret place was a refuge that Long Daoji had prepared long ago.
He built every brick, every tile, and every mechanism himself.
It contains a large quantity of spiritual fruits and cultivation pills, so that if the Ten Thousand Blades Sect were to change one day, future generations would have the opportunity to rise again.
Besides him, only Long Xiaoyun knew about the existence of this place.
Taking it out means he's willing to go all in.
......
When they reached the end of the passage, Long Daoji coughed heavily.
He then led the way inside, followed by Lou Xiaoguang and the other two.
As soon as the three entered, their attention was drawn to Xiaobai, who was as bright as the moon.
The power of the moonlight was continuously gushing out from its body, enveloping Tong Wu and the others.
Lou Xiaoguang and Shen Jinghe were shocked when they saw the flesh and blood growing back on Tong Wu's arm.
When a martial artist reaches the tenth-grade Dharma Manifestation Perfection realm, their body's self-healing ability does indeed become stronger.
But no matter how powerful it is, there is a limit.
It has only been two hours since Tong Wu was injured, and now his flesh and blood have grown back. This is terrifying.
I see!
Shen Jinghe suddenly realized.
No wonder Li Fan was always willing to risk injury and even his life to save others; it turns out it was because of this demonic beast.
"Alliance Leader Li, a fully-formed demonic beast is heading north and will be slaughtered..."
This morning, news came from the rear that Sect Master Wen of the Vajra Sect had fallen at the hands of a demonic beast...
"Wait, you're saying my senior brother is dead?"
Before Li Tianjun could finish speaking, Tong Wu's burly figure was already standing in front of him.
Tong Wu stared at Li Tianjun with bloodshot eyes, and Li Tianjun nodded.
In a daze, Li Tianjun seemed to feel Tong Wu's burly body trembling, but when he looked closely, Tong Wu had already sat back down in his original position.
Tong Wu hung his head, like a dormant volcano.
He didn't finish speaking, but the surging true energy made people feel an overwhelming rage.
"Senior Li, please continue!"
"Lord Yan suspects that the demonic beast came from the Ten Thousand Demons Sect and that it came here for the demonic beast you are raising."
And they have special methods to locate Xiaobai's presence!
Ten Thousand Demons Sect!
When Li Tianjun uttered those three words, everyone present felt a chill in their hearts.
At their level, they know far more than others.
The five great immortal sects of the world, though not visible in the mortal realm, are like five towering mountains that stand between heaven and earth.
Ordinary people can only look up at it.
The Ziyang Immortal Sect, located in the center, goes without saying; even the Great Zhou royal family are merely their representatives.
Besides the Ziyang Immortal Sect, the other four major immortal sects are also high and mighty.
The Ten Thousand Demons Sect, located deep within the Ten Thousand Demons Mountain Range, is one of them.
Who among those present would dare to make an enemy of the four great families?
But if they were to face the immortal sects directly, how many could say they were not afraid?
Tong Wu, sitting upright, was filled with despair.
Not to mention the Ten Thousand Demons Sect, the demonic beasts in the Ten Thousand Demons Mountain Range are mostly beyond the reach of the Vajra Sect.
Even if he manages to kill that tenth-grade Dharma Image Perfection Demon Beast, there is only one outcome for the Vajra Sect: the entire sect will be wiped out!
Moreover, they didn't even have to pay any price to destroy the Vajra Sect!
After all, no one would offend a high-ranking immortal sect for the sake of the Vajra Sect.
"Being able to locate is a good thing!"
Just as Tong Wu was in despair, Li Fan spoke up, "I wonder if any of you seniors would be interested in hunting demons with me!"
