Tempered Immortal

Chapter 403 Chaos Puppets and Cannon Fodder in Youzhou
"By the way, why are brothers and sisters here?" After chatting for a while, Lin Xuan still couldn't hold back his curiosity, and asked a casual question.

The two brothers and sisters looked at each other with sad expressions on their faces. Xu Feng sighed. Although the past was unbearable, Lin Xuan had a kindness for himself, and he didn't want to hide it.

It turned out that Youzhou was opposed to righteousness and evil, and the Tianshan faction, in order to continue the orthodoxy, thought about it, and finally joined the Big Three.

The original intention of doing this was to avoid disasters. After all, if a powerful sect like Tianshan didn't express its position, it would be very likely to be suppressed by both righteous and evil sides at the same time.

The decision of the real master is not wrong.

But people have to bow their heads under the eaves. Once the sheep enter the tiger's mouth, they can't help themselves.

"The sheep go into the tiger's mouth, what do you say?" Lin Xuan showed a hint of interest on his face.

"Senior doesn't know, the Big Three are really nothing." Before Xu Feng could explain, her younger sister said angrily: "At first we thought that if we surrendered to the Big Three, we would be able to get some care. But being able to survive this crisis is worth it, who knows..."

"how?"

"They didn't regard us as allies at all, but as slaves, and they didn't care about the life and death of Tianshan disciples."

"Slave?" Lin Xuan couldn't help being taken aback, and glanced at the girl in front of him: "It's not such an exaggeration, isn't it a bit too much for Daoist friends?"

"Sigh, although my little girl is naughty, she really didn't add any embellishments to what she said. That's the truth." Xu Feng sighed: "When the righteous demons broke out into a great war, we disciples who were attached to them were treated as cannon fodder. , Almost all of it is left to us, and if there is a slight mistake, there will be a heavy penalty.”

"Yeah, it's only been a while, and one-third of our Tianshan sect's disciples have been killed or injured." Xu Yin's pretty face showed a trace of sadness, and her tone was full of dissatisfaction with the Big Three. "

"Ah."

Lin Xuan nodded, noncommittal. Thinking about it carefully, although such a thing is cruel, it is also reasonable. The righteous and the evil contend for the hegemony of the cultivation world in Youzhou, but both sides naturally cherish the feathers of their disciples, so this first The war against Bobo, naturally let the puppet sects attached to them serve as cannon fodder.

People do not kill heaven and earth for themselves, and the law of the jungle is most vividly reflected in the realm of comprehension.

Lin Xuan couldn't comfort her, and the three of them fell silent for a while.

After a long time, Lin Xuan spoke again: "So that's the case, but why did brothers and sisters of Xian come to this [-] mountains again? Is it also a task arranged by the Big Three, asking you to collect elixir and grass?"

"This..." Xu Feng's face turned pale, hesitating and speechless.

Lin Xuan smiled slightly, and said in a considerate way: "If you have any difficulties, you don't need to talk about it, brother Xu. I just ask casually, so don't take it to heart."

Hearing Lin Xuan's words, the brother and sister were very grateful, Xu Feng gritted his teeth: "Senior, you are the one who saved my life and my little sister's life, so how dare you hide it from you? That's right, we are not going out to perform missions. Instead, he left the faction and fled privately."

"What?" Hearing this, even Lin Xuan's city mansion couldn't help being moved. Leaving the faction and fleeing privately is a serious crime. Of course, he didn't rush to ask anything. Since the other party had already made a move, Naturally there will be a beginning and an end.

"The thing is like this. About two months ago, my younger sister and dozens of brothers under my sect were ordered to garrison a certain crystal mine. Originally, this place was remote and unnoticed. Dozens of foundation-building monks were gathered together. There should be no problem with safety, but at this juncture, a large amount of mid-grade crystals were suddenly unearthed from this ordinary crystal mine."

"Mid-grade spar?" Lin Xuan frowned, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.

As we all know, spar contains rich aura of heaven and earth, and its role in the cultivation world is no different from that of currency. At the same time, spar is also divided into three grades: upper, middle and lower. When using weapons or fighting skills, the effect is greater.

However, in this world, more than 90.00% of the crystals mined from crystal mines are low-grade, and there are very few mineral deposits that can produce mid-grade crystals. Every time they appear in the world, there will be a bloodbath.

Originally, this news was strictly kept secret inside the Big Three, but for some reason, it was somehow leaked out.

So the Extreme Demon Venerable sent a large number of men to attack.

Although the high-level officials of Zhengdao quickly sent reinforcements, it was a bit late.

The result is conceivable, although there are formations to rely on here, in the final analysis, there are only dozens of foundation-building stage disciples, and there are as many as seven or eight masters in the alchemy stage on the other side of the magic way, plus several times more. As far as the opponent's strength is concerned, the result is known almost without fighting.

The Tianshan disciples stationed at the crystal mine are not idiots. The strength gap between the two sides is too great.

After everyone got together to discuss, they saw that there was nothing they could do, so they chose to retreat.

Strictly speaking, there was nothing wrong with them doing so. After all, they couldn't change anything if they stayed. The only difference was that they added a few more innocent souls.

But no one expected that a catastrophe would happen just because of this.

When the crystal mine was seized, the top management of the Big Three were furious, so they wanted to severely punish the Tianshan disciples who were guarding the crystal mine at that time on the charge of running away.

"Senior Lin, do you think they are unreasonable, and actually want us to carry those monks at the alchemy stage? This is not courting death." Talking about the events of that day, Xu Yinxiu frowned slightly, with the same expression on her face. full of anger.

Lin Xuan sighed and said a few words of comfort casually, but he had his own opinion in his heart. In his opinion, the other party also had his own considerations for what he did.

The three Righteous Sects headed by Biyun Mountain have ruled Youzhou for tens of thousands of years. Naturally, their high-level officials can't just be rich and poor. The loss of crystal mines is really nothing but a war. They can't really see this. not come out.

The reason why it is unreasonable and insists on punishing those Tianshan disciples who fled before the battle is actually that the drunkard's intention is not to drink, and the purpose is to kill chickens and monkeys.

After all, they also know in their hearts that this kind of thing that makes the sects attached to them become cannon fodder is very disappointing. There are already complaints, even regrets, and the voices of wanting to leave them are getting louder and louder.

Naturally, those Nascent Soul stage old monsters would not sit back and watch this situation develop. Naturally, it is impossible to appease the current situation with gentle means, so they decided to use bloody means to quell the dissatisfaction below. Unfortunately, those dozens of Tianshan Pai monk, just hit the knife edge.
