Chapter 1053 Changes Again
"This matter is indeed a bit strange, but it happened in the Chaos Realm Abyss, even I can't figure it out. But Shang Bing is a super-grade Taoist immortal of the earth element, and I can still sense his death.
After sensing Shang Bing's death, the master calculated the feeling carefully and found that Bian Min had also died. "Said Yong Tianzun.
The voice of Yong Tianzun echoed in the Tianzun Hall.
The expressions of the four venerables gradually changed from great shock at the beginning to subtle and complex.
The dead cannot be resurrected.
Since Shang Bing and Bian Min are confirmed dead, the four venerables not only have to consider the impact of their deaths on Yongtian's overall strength, but also have to consider the power vacuum and huge resources and wealth left behind by the deaths of Shang Bing and Bian Min.
Especially since Shang Bing is an old-fashioned super-class Taoist immortal, the Venerable Zhuyongtian, not only does he occupy a large territory in Zhuyongtian with extensive influence, many disciples and countless resources and wealth, but he also has a large Taoist temple in the earthly immortal world, with a large number of people and resources.
Such a vast territory, resources and manpower is a big piece of fat meat for the four venerables, and everyone wants to take a big bite.
Seeing that the expressions of the four venerables changed from the initial shock to complex and subtle, how could Yong Tianzun not know what they were thinking?
"Alas!" Yong Tianzun sighed secretly, and quickly suppressed his emotions, returning to his calm state. There was no sadness in his eyes anymore, only indifference and calmness.
What Zhuo Yong Tianzun really cares about is his Dao as the Lord of Tao, and everything he does now is to pave the way for his Dao as the Lord of Tao.
The deaths of Shang Bing and Bian Min had some impact on his plan to become the Taoist leader, which really caused some emotional fluctuations in him.
The relationship between master and disciple comes second.
"Luan Mu." Zhuo Yong Tianzun said.
"Disciple is here!" A man who looked like an immortal and had an elegant temperament stepped forward and bowed, with a hint of ecstasy flashing in the depths of his eyes.
“A group of dragons cannot be without a leader for a day. Haotu Mountain will temporarily belong to you. One day in the future, when someone from Shang Bing’s sect is promoted to a super-class one, Haotu Mountain will return to Shang Bing’s lineage.” Zhuo Yong Tianzun said.
Haotu Mountain is the location of the mountain gate of Shang Bing's mansion. Zhuo Yong Tianzun's words were equivalent to ceding all of Shang Bing's territory and men to Luan Mu.
"Thank you, Master. I will definitely live up to your trust." Luan Mu said solemnly.
"Since Shang Bing is dead, his troops are now under your command. From now on, you will join forces with Yuwen Qi to conquer Shenlong Mountain on behalf of Shang Bing.
Although the Mirage Dragon Mountain is not relevant to the overall situation and will not cause any major disturbances, it will be easy to clean up after the catastrophe. However, we have suffered consecutive defeats in the Great Savage Sea, which is always a loss of face.
So you will join forces with Yuwen Qi to conquer Shenlong Mountain on behalf of Shang Bing, and you must not fail again, otherwise you will have to hand over Haotu Mountain." said Yong Tianzun.
"My disciple will join forces with Yuwen Qi on behalf of Shang Bing to conquer Mirage Dragon Mountain, which is equivalent to adding another man from the Venerable Mansion. I'm afraid that the Immortal Court and other heavenly realms will have objections." Upon hearing this, Luan Mu suppressed the surprise in his heart and reminded carefully.
Mirage Dragon Mountain is now one of the super forces, and with so many powerful people under its command, it is naturally a piece of fat meat. If Luan Mu can replace Shang Bing and join forces with Yuwen Qi to conquer Mirage Dragon Mountain, he will definitely be able to get a share of the pie once Mirage Dragon Mountain is conquered.
However, the amazing strength of Mirage Dragon Mountain was beyond everyone's expectations.
In the battle two thousand years ago, Shenlong Mountain even designed to kill Yuan Sui and Helian Shimo, the top-grade Taoist immortal under Yuwen Qi's command, forcing Yuwen Qi, Shang Bing and Bian Min to withdraw their troops. They dared not launch a full-scale war with Shenlong Mountain again, and only launched a war from time to time in local areas. Both sides had gains and losses, and the situation became a stalemate.
Therefore, although the piece of fat meat of Mirage Dragon Mountain is tempting, it is not easy to bite it off, and we need to continue to invest manpower.
However, the ten great celestial realms and the Immortal Court had already reached an agreement back then that Shang Zhangtian and Yongtian could only send out the troops of Yuwen Qi, Shang Bing and Bian Min. If they were to add another venerable's troops now, the other celestial realms and the Immortal Court would definitely have objections.
"A stalemate, a local war that is neither painful nor itchy, would not be objectionable to other heavens and immortals? What they really want to see is a scene where both sides suffer losses.
I, the master, used the excuse of Shang Bing's death to ask you to merge with Shang Bing's tribe and fight on their behalf, which should be exactly what they want. Of course, we have too obvious an advantage, so they will definitely raise objections and say that we are breaking the rules.
At that time, Master can retreat to advance and take the initiative to withdraw Bian Min's troops. In this way, we still have a considerable advantage, and give enough face to other heavens and immortal courts, so that they can step down, and let them see that Mirage Dragon Mountain has the opportunity to severely damage us, and they will nod in agreement. "Zhuo Yong Tianzun said lightly.
"Master, that's a good idea. Although the troops from the Bian Min tribe are not enough to affect the overall situation, with one more troop, our advantage will be stronger, and our casualties will naturally be less. If we withdraw the troops from the Bian Min tribe, even if we have one more disciple, if we really want to defeat Mirage Dragon Mountain, our casualties will probably be very heavy." Luan Mu hesitated for a moment after hearing this, and then spoke again carefully.
"Quality is more important than quantity in the army. Only those who survive this kind of war are the real talents. The rest will just die. There is nothing to regret." Zhuo Yong Tianzun said calmly.
Luan Mu and the others were shocked when they heard this, and they quickly bowed and said, "What the Heavenly Lord said is very true!"
"From now on, Fire Dragon Mountain will be under the command of Commander Yu." Zhuo Yong Tianzun said again.
"Thank you, my Lord!" A woman dressed in a rosy robe stepped forward and bowed to express her gratitude.
This woman is not a disciple of Zhu Yong Tianzun.
It was a balancing strategy for Yong Tianzun to assign the Shang Bing tribe to his direct disciple, and then assign the Bian Min tribe to a venerable who was not his direct disciple.
…
Soon, news spread that Shang Bing and Bian Min had died, Shang Bing's troops were assigned to Venerable Luan Mu, Bian Min's troops were assigned to Venerable Fu Yu, and that Venerable Luan Mu's troops would represent Shang Bing in the war and Bian Min's troops would withdraw.
Before the news spread, Qinghan arrived at Shenlong Mountain and conveyed the news.
However, the one who received her was not Qin Ziling but the deputy headmaster Xiao Qing.
Xiao Qing told Qinghan that Qin Ziling was in seclusion in a secret place to comprehend the great Dao, so it was inconvenient for him to come and receive her.
Qinghan sighed secretly when she heard this.
What's the point of seclusion at this time? Without becoming a Taoist master, even if Wujimen can drag this battle until the great catastrophe comes, after the great catastrophe, it will still be destroyed like the Fire Nation.
But how difficult is the way of the Taoist master.
Even though her master had practiced hard for such a long time, he was now just standing in front of the Taoist master's gate, unable to step in.
How could Qin Ziling, a newly promoted super-class Taoist immortal, possibly step into the path of the Taoist master?
Sighing inwardly, Qinghan appeared calm as he told Xiao Qing the news that Luan Mu and Shang Bing's tribes had joined together to fight on his behalf, as well as the news that Bian Min's troops had withdrawn.
