Hearing this, everyone nodded.
For Ye Linyuan, he will have to return to Cangling Sea sooner or later. In order to avoid the danger of fighting on two fronts, they must at least clear out the enemies on the Chixia Continent first.
At this moment, seeing that Ye Linyuan had made up his mind, Shui Hanqing couldn't help but ask, "Husband, who should we attack first?"
"Let's start with the Golden Lotus Sect."
Ye Linyuan spoke calmly, with a hint of coldness in his pupils.
The Golden Lotus Taoist Sect is the dominant sect of the middle Nascent Soul stage. This lineage has been passed down for more than 6,000 years, and it became the dominant force in the middle Nascent Soul stage only when it was passed down to the generation of True Lord Jinlian.
There are not many strong people in this lineage, and there are only four Yuanying Zhenjun in total. This is mainly because this lineage mainly practices the way of gold and fire, and is not good at the production-type cultivation arts.
In addition, Jinlian Zhenjun is devoted to cultivation, and the disciples in his sect are just tools for him to obtain resources for cultivation.
In fact, except for the True Lord Jinlian, the other three True Lords are basically the older generation of True Lords Yuanying.
These three people have either taken longevity pills to prolong their lives, or have sealed themselves with the help of the Four Sections of Mysterious Ice, so their lifespans are already over three thousand years.
In addition, the lineage of True Lord Jinlian has a lack of successors. Throughout history, there has been only one person in the middle Nascent Soul stage. The foundation is far inferior to that of the Yang family, and there is no one in the middle Nascent Soul stage who is dormant.
The only Golden Lotus True Lord in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul also had his physical body cut off. Although he has rebuilt a new body now, his strength has seriously declined.
After all, without the Dantian to store magic power, the magic power that the Nascent Soul can carry is limited. After Jinlian Zhenjun lost his physical body, his magic power was greatly reduced. Now that he has rebuilt his physical body, his magic power has only been initially restored to the level of the middle Nascent Soul stage.
In other words, Jinlian Zhenjun's magical power cultivation has fallen from the perfection of the middle stage of the Nascent Soul to the fourth stage of the Nascent Soul. Both his combat power and endurance have been greatly reduced.
The original Jinlian Zhenjun, if he used forbidden techniques to unleash his full strength, might be able to fight with the late Nascent Soul stage for a few dozen moves.
But now, even if she uses all her abilities, she can no longer pose a real threat to the late Nascent Soul stage.
Hearing Ye Linyuan's plan, everyone nodded.
However, Ye Yingxu hesitated for a moment, and then said, "But the Yang family will not sit idly by, and will Xuanyin Saint Son take action?"
"Although the Yang family has a strong foundation, after all, we are not fighting in their homeland, so they cannot fully exert their strength. For me, it is not a concern."
Ye Linyuan answered calmly, and then said: "As for the Xuanyin lineage, I have already made a plan, you don't have to worry too much."
Having said this, Ye Linyuan looked around at everyone and finally said, "I'll give you three days to prepare. After three days, we'll go out and fight."
As Ye Linyuan finished speaking, the war machine of the Ye family was quickly mobilized.
Since entering the cave world, after nearly three hundred years of sedimentation, the Ye family's immortal clan's foundation is no longer what it used to be.
There are now a total of fifteen Yuanying True Lords in the Ye family's immortal clan.
Among them there are eight True Lords, namely Ye Linyuan, Shui Hanqing, Zhou Yuwan, Chu Lingxi, Ye Xuqiu, Ye Yingxu, Ye Chongyun and Ye Kunling, the eight Yuanying True Lords.
There are also seven sacred beasts guarding the mountain, namely the Fighting Golden Ape, the Fire Dragon, the Frost Dragon, the Mountain-carrying Turtle, the Moon Shell, the Water Silkworm, and the Red Flame Phoenix, the seven peerless demon kings.
There are fifteen Yuanying masters in the clan. Although they are all in the early stage of Yuanying cultivation, their foundation can be said to be amazing.
The vast majority of mid-Nascent Soul sects have no more than ten Nascent Soul masters. The Nascent Soul forces that can have more than a dozen Nascent Soul True Lords are basically super-large forces with a long heritage.
In the eastern region of Cangling Sea, there are a lot of dragon demon kings, but only the Tianshui Dragon Palace and the Disha Dragon Palace, the first of the six major dragon palaces, have more than ten middle-stage Nascent Souls.
Among them, the Disha Dragon Palace has only twelve Yuanying Dragon Kings, while the Tianshui Dragon Palace has sixteen Yuanying Dragon Kings.
In other words, the current foundation of the Ye family should be no less than that of the Tianshui Dragon Palace. The only weakness is that the Ye family has no one in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.
And in the Tianshui Dragon Palace, there seem to be two or three overlords in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.
However, Ye Linyuan's strength should be able to make up for this shortcoming, so it is hard to say who is stronger between the two sides.
After all, everyone in the Ye family’s immortal clan is definitely not a weak person.
In addition to these Yuanying Zhenjun, the Ye family, after years of accumulation, has also assembled three Yuanying puppets using puppet cores.
In addition, the two damaged puppets were also repaired, so this time the Ye family had a total of five Nascent Soul puppets.
With Ye Chongyun's strength, it should be more than enough to form these puppets into a military formation to deal with a mid-stage Nascent Soul.
"Fifteen Yuanying True Lords, Shuican is too weak to participate in the battle, and Ye Chongyun needs to hide his identity and cannot intervene in this battle."
"All the remaining thirteen Yuanying puppets will join the battle to completely resolve the hidden dangers in Nanling Chixiazhou."
In this battle, Ye Linyuan is ready to mobilize all his forces and defeat the enemy completely without any resistance.
In order to achieve his best result in this battle, he was prepared not to leave any Yuanying Zhenjun behind in Chilong Mountain.
Although this would leave Chilong Mountain empty and any one or two Yuanying Zhenjuns could completely conquer it, he believed that no one would dare to do so before the outcome of the frontal battle was decided.
If the Ye family wins on the battlefield, anyone who dares to take action will definitely be liquidated and hunted down.
If the Ye family suffered heavy losses on the front battlefield, and a large number of Yuanying Zhenjun were seriously injured or even killed in battle, then all major forces would definitely want to get a piece of the pie.
Before the outcome of the war is revealed, with the strength and background of the Ye family, except for the giant forces in the late Nascent Soul stage, it would be tantamount to seeking death for ordinary Nascent Soul True Lords to take action.
The lifespan of strong men in the late Nascent Soul stage is short, and unless there is an opportunity such as the opening of the Jiexu forbidden land, the possibility of them taking action is almost zero.
Therefore, the possibility of other forces taking action in this battle is almost zero, at least they will not take action before the outcome of the battlefield is revealed.
In order to prevent accidents, all the important treasures of Chilong Mountain in this battle will be taken away by Ye Linyuan, and even the teleportation array will be temporarily dismantled and put away by him.
Because Ye Linyuan knew very well that this battle was a do-or-die fight. Either he could completely wipe out the enemy in exchange for many years of peace, or the top leaders of the Ye family would be defeated on the battlefield.
If it is the former, it would be safer to carry the treasure with you. If it is the second ending, there is no point in leaving the treasure behind.
Of course, in order to prevent accidents, Ye Linyuan also transferred all the Nascent Soul seeds of the Ye family in Chilong Mountain to the Dongtian World to prevent others from taking the opportunity to assassinate them.
"It's almost time."
After all this was arranged, Ye Linyuan immediately led the twelve Yuanying Zhenjun of the Ye family and several precious pills to set off, quietly crossing the vast mountains and rivers to the Jinlian Dao Sect. The location of the Jinlian Dao Sect is the north of the western region of Chixiazhou, and it is separated from Ye Linyuan's Chixiazhou by a vast mountain and river of nearly ten million miles.
Its dojo, the Red Flame Golden Lotus Peak, is a fourth-grade mid-quality spiritual vein, which contains a fourth-grade underground fire vein and a fourth-grade Gengjin ground vein. It is a superb place for practicing the Fire Sea Golden Lotus technique.
At this time, Ye Linyuan set out with a mighty army, and unknowingly arrived in front of the Red Flame Golden Lotus Peak. A hint of solemnity appeared in his brows.
"The formation here has been reinforced. It may not be easy to break it."
At this moment, looking at the Red Flame Golden Lotus Peak in front of him, Ye Xuqiu couldn't help but frown slightly, revealing a serious look.
Ye Linyuan also nodded. In the war between Yuanying-level forces, the difference between fighting at home and fighting away is huge.
For example, the Golden Lotus Taoist Sect in front of us has a complete fourth-order compound formation arranged inside. After it is activated, it is powerful enough to withstand the late Nascent Soul stage for three days and three nights.
If more than a dozen Yuanying Zhenjun of the Ye family work together and spend more time, they may be able to completely break the formation, but by then most of their magic power will definitely be consumed.
If they were to fight against the Golden Lotus Taoist Sect in its heyday at that time, they would definitely suffer a great loss, and there might even be several True Lords who would die as a result.
It is also because of this that forces at the Nascent Soul level rarely launch a war to wipe out an entire clan, unless the overall strength gap between the two sides widens to more than two levels.
"If we attack by force, we will definitely suffer heavy losses."
Ye Linyuan spoke calmly, then looked at Ye Hezhe and asked, "How are the preparations of the various tribes under your command and Qingyuan Palace going?"
After years of accumulation, Ye Hezhe broke through the false infant state not long ago. Now he has become the steward of the Ye family in Chilong Mountain, in charge of the arrangements of various affairs.
At this time, Ye Hezhe bowed hurriedly, and then said with a smile: "The armies of various tribes are already on the way, and they will arrive within a year at the latest."
"Qingyuan Palace has also mobilized all its forces and recruited a large number of cultivators to participate in this battle."
Ye Linyuan nodded. This kind of battle to annihilate a family at the Nascent Soul level would definitely require the Earth-level cultivators to consume the power of the formation.
The Ye family is now a Nascent Soul family, ruling over three million miles of mountains and rivers, and naturally has a large number of immortal clans and forces.
You have to know that the Nanling immortal world is different from the Cangling Sea. Although the Cangling Sea is vast, it is surrounded by oceans, and the land area is less than a few percent of the sea area.
In such an environment, only a few islands are suitable for survival, and most of the territory is occupied by deep-sea monsters.
The mountains in Chixia Continent are rolling, which is more suitable for the reproduction and survival of human beings, so naturally there are more humans and cultivators.
Now, under the command of the Ye family, there are hundreds of Jindan-level forces. This time, they have recruited more than 3,000 Jindan cultivators and as many as 800,000 foundation-building cultivators.
This number is only the recruits, accounting for one tenth of all the cultivators. Its number has already exceeded the total number of Jindan cultivators in the Five Elements Sea.
The territory of the Five Elements Sea is several times larger than the territory under the jurisdiction of Chilong Mountain.
At this time, Ye Hezhe described the progress of the army, and then said with a serious look: "According to your instructions, I order all major forces to not harm anyone along the way."
"The army did not encounter much resistance along the way, so it did not encounter much hindrance."
Ye Linyuan nodded when he heard this. It was rare to recruit an army of this size to launch a war.
For example, when the Tianxing Sword Sect attacked the Luoxia Sea, the battle was extremely brutal, with countless cultivators dying on the battlefield.
Doing so would allow them to recover a large amount of resources from the war, which was also the reason why all the affiliated forces were willing to join the war.
Because war also represents more opportunities.
This time, Ye Linyuan did not choose to do so. Instead, he paid a very high price to issue a military order to ensure that all the major Jindan forces would not harm anyone along the way. He had three main purposes for this.
First, as long as the army does not harm anyone along the way, the resistance they encounter will be greatly reduced, and the losses they suffer will be greatly reduced, so they will have more power when attacking the Jinlian Taoist Sect.
He could even take this opportunity to recruit troops and make use of the forces under the Jinlian Dao Sect for his own purposes, or at worst let them stand by and watch.
Because the Ye family is more powerful, with thirteen True Lords openly displayed, all major forces within the territory of the Golden Lotus Taoist Sect did not dare to come and die.
To them, they were all human after all, so even if the Golden Lotus Sect was destroyed, they would just be replaced by someone else who collected taxes.
The second is that Ye Linyuan wants to preserve the strength of the human race as much as possible.
Because ever since the last time the Heavenly Demon Saint Emperor took action, Ye Linyuan had gradually realized that a war was about to come.
In order to obtain the resources to break through the realm of the soul, the monsters in the Wan Yao Mountains will most likely launch a war against Chixiazhou.
You should know that in the entire Western Regions, there are more than thirty Yuanying-level forces of the human race, and in the entire Chixia Continent, there are no less than a hundred Yuanying-level forces.
Most of these Nascent Soul-level forces had participated in the Jiexu Forbidden Land, or explored some ancient ruins, and perhaps there were some treasures left over from the ancient times.
By collecting these remaining treasures, perhaps one can gather some spiritual items to break through to the Yuanshen, or at least gather one or two to reach the Yuanying Great Perfection.
Now in the Ten Thousand Demons Mountain, perhaps everyone is waiting for an opportunity.
When the Holy Lord of Taihuang passes away completely and the human race in the Western Regions loses a giant pillar that supports the sky, perhaps it will be the time for them to take complete action.
The third reason is that Ye Linyuan wants to obtain more tax revenue.
The Ye family now has too many Yuanying Zhenjuns. Ye Linyuan's cultivation skills and the resources obtained by the family members themselves are still not sufficient.
If we can swallow up the territory of the Golden Lotus Taoist Sect, we will gain control of its affiliated forces with a territory of nearly ten million miles.
Perhaps the taxes collected could satisfy the cultivation needs of several Nascent Soul True Lords, thereby relieving the pressure on Ye Linyuan and raising the foundation of the Ye family to a higher level.
The tax revenue that can be provided by a territory with heavy casualties and nine out of ten empty houses is definitely far less than that of this vast territory.
"To settle the feud, swallow up the Golden Lotus Sect, control its territory and power, obtain sufficient cultivation resources, and also prepare in advance for future wars."
"This kills many birds with one stone. Whether it will be successful depends on this battle."
Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart, then looked towards the huge Golden Lotus Dao Sect, with a hint of coldness in his pupils. (End of this chapter)
