Inside Tianjingmen Mountain Gate.

Yu Jinghua suddenly felt a chill rising from the bottom of his heart.

If things are really as he guessed, then is he, the deputy leader, also a chess piece that can be discarded at any time?

"No, I have to figure this out clearly, otherwise I won't be able to understand it until I die!"

He clenched his fists and immediately set off to the location of Tianjing Zhenren's cave.

"Old Ancestor Mingjian, now there are fires in all directions. The gates of all the major immortal cultivating clans in Lingzhou are under siege by the families under the command of Qinglian Guan. Their families will be destroyed in a matter of seconds. Every family is eagerly waiting for their own troops to send out troops to rescue them."

"In the opinion of the younger generation, if our sect does not send troops to rescue at this time, all the people's hearts will be lost. Even if we can achieve great things in the future, it will be difficult to gather people's hearts!"

Outside the formation of white mist, Yu Jinghua faced the white mist area in front and bowed, expounding his views.

This is also his temptation.

But after his words came out, there was no reply for a long time.

But this time, Yu Jinghua seemed determined not to leave until he got a reply, and kept standing there waiting.

After a full hour passed like this, a strong and deep voice rang in his ears.

"There is no need to worry, people's hearts are fickle. As long as we finally achieve great things, people's hearts will turn towards us. Thousands of years later, no one will remember what happened now!"

"If Fellow Daoist Yu is tired of those distress calls, just stop accepting them and just guard our mountain gate!"

After just two sentences, there was no more sound.

It was these two short sentences that made Yu Jinghua confirm his guess.

There was a turmoil in his heart, but on his face he responded calmly and respectfully: "Junior understands, thank you ancestor for your guidance."

Then he turned around and left this place.

After returning to the master's hall, Yu Jinghua ordered not to report battlefield news to him anymore, but only to make statistics.

Then he sat cross-legged on the couch, his face changing as he fell into deep thought.

"It seems that I really guessed it right. Master Tianjing deliberately used the Qinglian Temple to eliminate those cultivating families that have been in Lingzhou for hundreds of years, so as to pave the way for cultivating direct vassal families in the future."

"But there are only so many useful monks in his Tianjing Sect right now. It's impossible to release them all to spread their wings and build a family."

"And even if we establish a family and take over those Lingshan blessed lands, we won't be able to recruit so many people to maintain the family's operations."

"Or is it that those blessed places in Lingshan are not actually prepared for disciples like Tianjing Sect?"

Thinking of this, Yu Jinghua's eyes suddenly widened, as if he had thought of something extremely surprising, his eyes widened and his mouth widened.

"Could it be that the real person has another group of troops hidden outside Lingzhou?"

He exclaimed in his heart, and his expression changed drastically.

If this is the case, his previous speculations will have a suitable reason.

Since there are people loyal to him hidden elsewhere, then of course there is no need for these grassroots families in Lingzhou to care about their life or death.

Just in time to borrow Qinglianguan's knife to harvest them, so that his direct descendants can settle in.

Moreover, when the Qinglian Temple is attacked in the future, these slaughtered families can also be used as an excuse to attack the Qinglian Temple.

"If there is really another group of people hiding, will there be a Golden Core Stage cultivator among them?"

A thought suddenly popped up in Yu Jinghua's mind, making him unable to sit still.

Previously, relying on the fact that he was the only Golden Core Stage cultivator in the Tianjing Sect, Yu Jinghua felt at ease even when facing Master Tianjing. He was not in awe and submissive to Master Yuanying Stage like ordinary Golden Core Stage cultivators.

But if he is not the only Golden Core Stage cultivator in Tianjing Sect, then his previous actions may be a bit disrespectful.

And if Tianjing Zhenren has a closer subordinate who is a monk at the Golden Core stage, then his deputy leader is probably just a target deliberately introduced to attract attention.

When the situation is decided, it will probably be time for him to abdicate.

"It seems that I have to find another way out for myself!"

Yu Jinghua's eyes sparkled, not willing to wait for that day to come.

…

Tuyunling.

It was already the morning of the third day that Tuyunling was besieged.

After more than two days of attack, the mountain-protecting formation of the Guo family in Tuyunling was already crumbling, and anyone could see that it would not be able to hold on for much longer.

Zhou Chun and others, who had been attacking for more than two days in a row, were feeling a little tired mentally.

After all, people are not machines. Even if they can restore their mana by taking the Huiyuan Pill, and soothe their body and mind by taking turns to rest, they will inevitably suffer from fatigue when they continue to attack the mountain-protecting formation at high intensity.

However, they are all accomplished practitioners, so this fatigue is nothing and has minimal impact on their combat effectiveness.

"It's been two days and no one has come to rescue. It seems that Tianjingmen is determined not to care about the life or death of these vassal families!"

In the sky, Zhou Mingde spoke his judgment calmly while attacking the Guo family's mountain-protecting formation.

He didn't use his spiritual consciousness to transmit the message, he just spoke it directly.

Therefore, the Guo family monks on Tuyun Ridge can also hear it.

On Tuyun Ridge, Guo Tong and all the Guo family monks showed expressions of resentment and despair after hearing what he said.

They resisted vigorously at first, not only because they were angered by Qinglianguan's order to kill everyone, but also because they were expecting Tianjingmen to send reinforcements to support the Guo family.

But two days have passed. If the Tianjing Sect really wanted to support them, they would have come long ago.

"I only regret that Guo was blind and mistakenly looked at the old thief in the sky mirror!"

"Guo is really ashamed of all his clan members and his ancestors!"

Two lines of bloody tears could not help but overflow from the corners of Guo Tong's eyes. They were tears of regret.

Seeing this, an elder from the Guo family cried out in tears: "Sir, you are not wrong. What is wrong is the Tianjing Sect and the old thief of Tianjing. He has betrayed the trust of our families and is not worthy of being called him at all."

For real people!”

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "I really hope that Master Qingxiao of Qinglian Temple can take away the life of the old thief before he passes away, so that the old thief will suffer the consequences!"

Another Guo elder cursed loudly, his words full of hatred for Master Tianjing.

Before this, they, the little Foundation-Building Stage monks, did not dare to speak ill of the Nascent Soul Stage Master, for fear that their words would be heard by outsiders and cause trouble for themselves and their family.

But now, seeing that they and their family are about to be destroyed and die, they don't care about anything and just want to curse.

"At this point, it's useless for us to regret it, but we still find a way to preserve some fire for the family so that the family's inheritance will not be cut off by our hands!"

The last Guo family foundation-building monk did not complain and curse, but calmly stated the key points at hand.

This man is the patriarch of the Guo family, and he was originally a man of plans.

Seeing that he could be so calm and consider the family's future affairs under such circumstances, Guo Tong felt even more ashamed and regretful.

I couldn't help but let out a long sigh and said, "Hey, I regret not listening to you, Chongsheng! If I had listened to you and moved the whole family to the wilderness in the south of Yunzhou to guard the border for Qinglian Temple, how could we have been in such trouble today!"

When the head of the Guo family heard this, he smiled bitterly and said: "It is useless to talk about this now. If, Supreme Elder, you are willing to listen to the advice of this junior again, our Guo family may be able to retain some fire!"

"Of course, Chongsheng, if you have any suggestions, just say it. As long as you can keep the fire for my Guo family, you can even have my head on my neck!"

Guo Tongyun used his magic power to dry up the blood and tears from the corners of his eyes, and responded solemnly with a solemn expression.

Then he saw the head of the Guo family moving his lips slightly and transmitting his suggestions to him.

Not long after this, the mountain protection formation of the Guo family in Tuyunling suddenly changed. The shaky yellow light shield suddenly became transparent, allowing people outside to see what was going on inside.

At this time, the situation on Tuyunling was quite eye-catching.

I saw a pile of spiritual coins piled up in a conspicuous place on the mountain, surrounded by piles of magic weapons, elixirs, magic talismans, and various spiritual materials contained in jade boxes.

Then the head of the Guo family personally divided these things into dozens of parts and put them into storage bags one by one, and gave them to the Guo family monks to carry.

The three foundation-building monks of the Guo family each carried the largest portion.

Seeing this scene, a foundation-building monk who was attacking the formation couldn't help but wondered: "What are they doing? Are they trying to break out?"

"It does seem like they want to break out, but the way they are doing it now... forget it, just let everything take its course!"

Zhou Chun couldn't help but shook his head mid-sentence, and suddenly stopped talking.

He has already seen the Guo family's intention in doing this.

But what the other party did was a conspiracy. Even if they found out, I'm afraid they would still submit obediently.

And whether this will be useful or not, we can't say yet. It depends on the luck of the Guo family monks.

Soon, under the watchful eyes of Zhou Chun and others outside, the Guo family monks on Tuyun Ridge had packed up all their valuables, and even the family's domesticated monsters had rushed to the foot of the mountain, looking ready to break out at any moment.

Look.

It was at this time that the Guo family's mountain-protecting formation changed again, covering up the situation inside the mountain gate again.

Almost a quarter of an hour later, with a loud bang, the Guo family's mountain-protecting formation was completely destroyed from the outside.

"Zhou Mingde, accept your fate!"

As the Guo family's mountain-protecting formation shattered, an angry shout suddenly sounded from Tuyun Ridge.
