When Meng Zhang reprimanded Li Xuan for making his own decisions, he didn’t know that a related conversation was also taking place in the Earth Fire Gate two to three thousand miles away.
In the secret room of the Earth Fire Sect, Shangguan Long Yan, the head of the Earth Fire Sect, was meeting with a very important guest.
This guest’s name is Hou Delu, and he is an envoy sent by the top leaders of the Huoyun Sect.
After the Fire Cloud Sect’s Master Yun Yan passed away, the Fire Cloud Sect lost its shackles. Everyone in the sect has been gearing up to invade the Endless Sand Sea in order to avenge their hatred and avenge their previous shame.
However, due to several failures that year, the senior leaders of the Fire Cloud Sect, who had always been radical, became more cautious. If they are not sure of victory, they will not launch an attack easily.
Before taking action, you must be fully prepared and never fail again.
Everyone in the Huoyun faction has been intensively preparing for war.
The realm of Jiuqu League is countless times more prosperous than the barren endless sea of sand. Cultivation resources are abundant here, various cultivation arts are prevalent, and commerce is developed.
The Fire Cloud Sect spent a large amount of spiritual stones and continuously purchased a large amount of war supplies from places such as Gale City.
In addition, the Fire Cloud Sect also sent envoys to the Hedong Branch of the Huanglian Sect, hoping to contact the top leaders of the Hedong Branch and agree that both parties would invade the Endless Sand Sea together.
The Hedong Branch of the Huanglian Sect also invaded the Endless Sand Sea, but was later defeated by the Feihong Sect and expelled from the Endless Sand Sea.
After the Yellow Lotus Sect’s Hedong branch was expelled from the Endless Sand Sea, they had been in constant confrontation with the Feihong Sect on the border and had many conflicts. The low-level disciples of the two sects often fought with each other.
But other than that, the Huanglian Sect’s Hedong branch has taken no further action.
Jindan Zhenren, the master of the Hedong Branch of Huanglian Sect, has never stepped into the endless sea of sand.
More than three hundred years ago, when the Golden Elixir War broke out between the Huoyun Sect and the Feihong Sect, the Hedong Branch of the Huanglian Sect did not participate, and even showed no interest at all.
The Fire Cloud Sect was defeated in the Golden Elixir War. The top master in the sect at the time, Master Yun Yan, was forced to make a ghost oath to restrain all the Golden Elixir Masters of the Fire Cloud Sect and never set foot in the endless sand sea again. Half step.
From beginning to end, the Huanglian Sect’s Hedong branch never paid attention to this matter.
This time, the Fire Cloud Sect sent an envoy to contact the Hedong Branch of the Huanglian Sect, just with the idea of giving it a try. Success is gratifying, failure is nothing.
As expected, the Hedong branch of the Yellow Lotus Sect did not have a positive attitude towards the large-scale invasion of the Endless Sand Sea.
The reply given by the senior officials of the Hedong branch was that if the Fire Cloud Sect invaded in a large scale, the Hedong branch might send a group of foundation-building monks to join the battle.
In fact, the foundation-building monks of the Huanglian Sect’s Hedong branch have been fighting with the foundation-building monks of the Feihong Sect at the border all year round. All along, from time to time, foundation-building monks from the Hedong Branch of the Yellow Lotus Sect would sneak into the endless sand sea and engage in some shameful deeds.
The Fire Cloud Sect was not very satisfied with the reply from the top brass of the Huanglian Sect’s Hedong Branch.
If Jindan Daoist is not sent to participate in the battle, just some foundation-building monks will not be able to have much impact on the battle situation.
In the war between Jindan Sect, only Jindan Zhenren is the final word.
The attitude of the Huoyun Party to the Hedong Branch of the Huanglian Sect is hard to blame. Even without the reinforcements from the Huanglian Sect’s Hedong Branch, the Fire Cloud Sect would have taken action alone.
Before his death, Master Yun Yan personally presided over the ceremony and planted a hidden secret in the endless sea of sand.
In these years, the Fire Cloud Sect and the Earth Fire Sect have been secretly colluding. In particular, the Great Elder Lieyan of the Dihuo Sect relied entirely on the help of Master Yun Yan to successfully form the elixir.
Before forming the elixir, Great Elder Lieyan had sworn a ghost oath. Once the pill formation is successful, he will help the Fire Cloud Sect deal with the Feihong Sect.
The Fire Cloud Sect has invested a lot of money in the Great Elder Lieyan and has high hopes for him.
Many key points of the Fire Cloud Sect’s invasion plan require the action of Lieyan Zhenren.
But when it was about to launch, the Fire Cloud Sect suddenly couldn’t contact Master Lie Yan.
There is no news from Lieyan Zhenren, as if he has evaporated from the world.
The Fire Cloud Sect took this risk and sent envoys to the Endless Sand Sea in order to meet with Shangguan Long Yan, the head of the Earth Fire Sect, to see if he had any definite information about the whereabouts of Master Lieyan.
Hou Delu had already talked to Shangguan Longyan once before, and Shangguan Longyan insisted that he did not know the whereabouts of Master Lieyan. The only thing he knew was the news from Feihong Sect that Master Lieyan, Master Guangzhi, and Master Fei were all trapped in Yaofeng Gobi.
This time, Hou Delu heard the rumors circulating in Huojingfang City and approached Shangguan Long Yan again.
“Master Shangguan, there are rumors everywhere that Master Lieyan has died in Yaofeng Gobi. Do you think this statement is credible?”
After listening to Hou Delu’s words, Shangguan Long Yan showed a hint of annoyance on his face.
“These are all rumors, spread secretly by Taiyi Sect.”
“They think that Mingshafang City can profit from the corruption of Huojingfang City. It is really naive.”
Li Xuan’s actions that he thought were secret were not able to hide from the eyes and ears of the Dihuo Sect.
In the eyes of the veteran Dihuo Sect, a newly rising sect such as Taiyi Sect is simply an upstart.
The Earth Fire Sect has a deep foundation, and its potential power is much stronger than that of the Taiyi Sect.
If Shangguan Longyan hadn’t had other scruples, he would have taken this opportunity to teach Taiyi Sect a lesson.
“The Taiyi Sect, these renegade villains, are despicable and disgusting. One day, I will take care of them.”
I heard Shangguan Long Yan say that the death of Master Lieyan was just a rumor spread by the Taiyi Sect and was not true. Hou Delu immediately lost interest in this and became more relieved.
“Master Shangguan, what happened with the Taiyi Sect is just a trivial matter. Your top priority is to find a way to contact Master Lieyan.”
“When our plan succeeds, you can deal with these clowns from the Taiyi Sect how you want. Now, don’t waste your time on irrelevant things.”
In response to Hou Delu’s instructions, Shangguan Long Yan nodded repeatedly, indicating that he would definitely abide by them.
Next, the two chatted for a while before Hou Delu said goodbye and left. Before he left, he repeatedly told Shangguan Long Yan to get accurate information about Master Lieyan as soon as possible.
Shangguan Longyan agreed immediately and sent Hou Delu away with a smile on his face.
As soon as Hou Delu’s back disappeared, Shangguan Long Yan’s expression immediately turned gloomy.
Hou Delu was an outsider and didn’t know much about the situation in the Endless Sand Sea, so he easily accepted Shangguan Long Yan’s words.
But in fact, the inside story is very complicated.
As a native of the Endless Sand Sea, Shangguan Longyan has been worried about the recent situation in the Endless Sand Sea.
