#582 - The war is about to start again
First of all, our sect’s formation needs to be adjusted.
Although Du En is not good at formations, he can draw inferences from one instance to another, and his realm and talent are not false, so now that he has the authority, he can still do it by just making some adjustments.
Because this immortal gate formation originally has many permission function interfaces.
Then he changed the land and moved the city. He ordered those who were still alive, those who deserved to be killed, to cooperate with his puppets, receive and call on various resources, and carry out detailed defense.
If they work hard, we can consider just destroying their cultivation and severing their path, rather than finding an opportunity to send them all off at once.
They themselves were also vaguely aware of this from the fact that people were being relocated at a very fast speed, but they themselves were left behind.
They were secretly anxious but could only wait for death. Now, at first glance, there is hope. One by one, they become extremely motivated in an instant, treating themselves as puppets and scrambling to do the work.
The entire Southland seemed to come alive, literally.
Mountains, rivers, local customs and people are all constantly changing and rapidly changing beyond recognition.
He was busy and didn't have time to waste.
The monks in the Hub City did not rest either. After receiving the new order, they began to reinforce the outer edge of the Moju Hub City. Due to the rush to finish the work, the quality of the reinforcement was even worse than Meng Changqing had expected, only a little bit lower grade six.
Now that Duen can continuously mobilize resources, he naturally wants to try to transform it into a sixth-grade mid-to-high-grade one. Since he cannot be distracted, he assigns the tasks to them.
After finishing all the preliminary work, Zhen Hong Zhenren came back, so he took the lead in the subsequent formal smelting and strengthening process.
In this step, they are also allowed to familiarize themselves with the situation so that they can assist in the operation of Mojushu City and reduce Duan's burden.
In short, it is in full swing, hot and full of energy.
"There's absolutely no trace of post-war depression or frustration!"
A pair of eyes first noticed the changes in Luoyu South Land. Those changes indicated the rapid reconstruction of the center point of the hub city, and there was already enough energy to radiate outward.
I was deeply moved and fell silent.
Master Lin Yu stared at his neighbor silently. He went away and came back again. Naturally, he did not come to watch the fun, but had other intentions.
Originally, I didn't want to get involved too early.
"Unfortunately, the Supreme One wants to take action, so this time, I can no longer make the decision!"
It was as if he was secretly apologizing to Dunn. After all, they had been communicating harmoniously before. But in the final analysis, he just felt that the time was not right, but was urged to act, which caused him to feel emotional.
It’s not that he holds any grudge against Xiu Lin Supreme, rather the opposite.
He was just confused.
Because when Supreme Xiu Lin summoned him for an audience, his attitude was quite ambiguous, as if he also wanted to join in the division, or to intervene, but he did not seem to have such a strong desire, and just let him act according to the circumstances.
"I don't understand what the Supreme Sect Master is aiming for... In this case, why not show your interest in the Lin'an area first!"
Zhenjun Lin Yu quickly determined the general tone, and after a night of preparation, on the next day, when the battle in Luoyu South was still in full swing, people from Xiulin Immortal Sect crossed the boundary river and appeared outside Lin'an City.
The city is empty. This border town has been completely abandoned. Even the inner city has been quietly moved away for other uses. The things that had been agreed upon with the cultivators here have also been settled. They have all moved away, so the whole place is empty.
"Are you waiting for them to leave on purpose to show your attitude?"
When Duan learned of this military situation, he couldn't help but think deeply.
"Master Master, you must not be careless. That person from the rotten forest is a puppet without a heart, and is not of our kind!"
Zhen Hong had quickly completed the refining and reinforcement of the outer edge. After all, what he could do was actually quite limited, and Du En did not force him, so he was currently handling chores for him who was distracted to the extreme. Now he hurriedly made his own statement, and his words were full of fear of Xiu Lin Xian Men.
Compared to Mu Cang and Fu Dong, he seemed to care more about that side.
Originally, there was no need for Chen Yan to remind him, but Du En was too distracted, he was practicing the secret method and hosting the show for such a long time that even there were some obvious pauses in his movements, which made him feel distressed when he noticed it. He secretly sighed that he could not share his worries, while trying his best to do what he was supposed to do.
"It is indeed difficult to tell... How about this, old immortal, you go over there and don't make any contact. Just watch from a distance. If their behavior really crosses the line and they try to occupy the city and seize the land, you should repel their tentacles first and show your attitude."
First express your attitude to the two major immortal sects, Fudong and Mucang, and then wait for them to send troops to attack again, then take advantage of the opportunity and enter the scene to take advantage of them.
"Xiulin has a good plan!"
"Humph! I've already said it before, you can't count on those heretics!"
Undercurrents flow in the dark, talks with the True Lord.
Lord Youfeng of the Mu Cang Immortal Sect and Lord Qiongqi of the Fudong Immortal Sect are currently conducting the final round of negotiations before the war. Since the Xiu Lin Immortal Sect has already made its plans clear, this is the final round.
Although he was filled with hatred, especially for True Lord Qiongqi who spoke last, he was the mortal enemy of Xiu Lin Xianmen and usually hated the people of Xiu Lin Xianmen the most.
However, the stakes of this war were high and they needed to put aside their personal likes and dislikes.
"Humph! Let's just put up with those weirdos who are taking advantage of the situation for now. Is that really what's going to happen next?"
"Yes, we will no longer focus on annexing Luoyu South. If Xiulin wants it, we will give it to them first. As for us, our main goal will be to kill the new strong man!"
Listening to Master Youfeng's words, Master Qiongqi frowned secretly, feeling that there was a strong personal connection between them. Was it because of the emotional instability caused by the recent beating by Master Zhuding, or was it... like him, he could not sit idly by and watch the rise of Duen.
It was not only to complete the orders of the supreme master, but also to meet his own strong goals.
It’s not just because Duen has slapped them in the face, but also because his continued growth will obviously affect the balance of the upper-level True Lords of the five major immortal sects.
Originally, it was already exaggerated that Luoyu Xianmen had one Zhenjun Chengru, and the addition of Zhenjun Zhuding also made people feel powerless. There was also a rising star with outstanding appearance who had quickly come to the stage and was now wandering in the Fudong Universe, specializing in sniping the middle and upper-level cultivators of Fudong Xianmen and destroying the pivotal points of the universe.
If there is another Du En... does it mean that Luoyu Xianmen will become a real place of four wars in the future?
The previous situation was that the four sides were fighting each other, and the influence of terrain and geography could be ignored. But under this situation, they can only join forces to maintain the balance of power with Luoyu Xianmen in a normal war.
The issue of face is actually not that important, and the overall situation in the world will not be changed, but there may be clear and drastic changes among the True Lords as a result.
That is, fall!
Such a future seems to be already in front of us and is approaching. Naturally, people cannot sit idly by, especially ordinary True Lords. So this time they are very foresighted and are working together without any ulterior motives. They will never work without putting in effort.
The two True Lords looked at each other, confirming that they both had the intention and determination to get rid of each other as soon as possible, and they couldn't help but smile in tacit understanding. Then the two wisps of spirit broke away from the negotiation contact, returned to their original selves, and began to push forward. In other words, the preparations for war had already been made, and they were just waiting for Xiu Lin's statement.
The tacit understanding and actions of the True Lords continue closely.
Dunn's preparations and counterattacks were also in full swing.

After mastering the secret method of controlling puppets with divine machinery and controlling Moju City became easier, Du En has already distracted himself and switched to practicing other things. This is what Zhen Hong Zhen saw as his inner strength.
Because I really don't have any extra time to rest, I am making the best possible preparations.
This naturally brought about improvements in all aspects, but now he had to focus his attention and end this pre-war preparation.
The storm is coming!
A dull and depressing feeling began to envelop my heart, and it became even more obvious after I entered the state of Taixuan Heyuan. The entire south, this corner of the world, was showing signs of doomsday at this moment, and a terrible fate and destiny was spreading and covering me.
There is another situation that is particularly bad.
Even though Duen had already carried out a thorough cleanup and reorganization of the entire South Land, controlling the puppet army and driving the guilty monks, turning all the land upside down, in the end, he did not find the things that Master Qiongqi had laid out before.
Although the secret place where the Divine Silkworm Immortal had been hiding, the mobile logistics base and hub, had been dug out from the depths of space, the Yunyi Defense Line had already drained away their preliminary preparations, leaving only two or three cats, big and small, stationed there. There was no point in destroying it.
"The enemy knows but I don't, so let's say I know but the enemy doesn't..."
Another half day passed, and Du En observed the signs of life and realized that the war was officially approaching. The two major immortal sects should have set out, so he gave orders one after another, mobilizing all the forces in Luoyu South to launch various responses.
In the eyes of the Xiu Lin Xian Men, who seemed relatively leisurely overall, the entire Luo Yu Nan land was shrinking and gathering strength due to the drastic changes in the formation. At the same time, a huge sandstorm that covered the sky and the sun blew up.
The mysterious dust blocks the sun, which is a further extension of the principle of scraping away the mysterious dust, dragging and revealing the principles that have been passed down from generation to generation, highlighting the effect of concealing, spreading from the original basic personal conditions such as body, spirit and mind to the macro level of the law of cause and effect and destiny.
Combined with the shrinking Immortal Gate Array, the concealing effect can be further strengthened, raising it to a level comparable to that of heavenly Taoist methods. And because the array can target the True Lords, even a strong genius like True Lord Lin Yu cannot see the various situations in the South Land for a while.
However, although it is difficult to see clearly from the front, there is still the side.
Zhenjun Lin Yu quickly captured the side, which was the current boundary of the shrinking Luoyu Formation, and then revealed a strange look. Because he did not hide it, Tao Shao, who was accompanying him, immediately felt surprised and suspicious.
“True Lord…”
"Interesting. For Mu Cang Fudong, this is a trap, while for our sect, it is an empty city plan. Do you think it makes sense to bluff now? No, he should know that the situation has changed. It is impossible for him to still bluff, but it is obvious that there is also an element of mystification..."
Master Lin Yu didn't pay any attention to Tao Shao. He watched the two armies approaching from afar. He immediately stopped worrying and ordered his army to march out.
"Go ahead."
“Yes!”
A lead-gray metal cylinder opened in response.
He, or she, or it?
In short, this cylindrical immortal from the Xiu Lin Immortal Sect is the commander of the army this time.
Beside it there are two other real people who have reached the perfect state of refining emptiness.
One is the True Man of the Forests, a combination of forests, with only branches swaying automatically without wind.
The other Yi Yue Zhenren was a new type of puppet like Tao Shao and other new generation disciples of Xiu Lin, but he also looked very strange, a crescent-shaped one, with no face or hands, and only two white and beautiful legs.
And behind them, the army of Xiu Lin Xian Men gathered. The main body was composed of new and strange puppets, but not all of them looked like humans. There were also many war-style ones, and a small number of other styles and models that were varied, weird and exquisite.
It was this strange and bizarre army of immortal cultivators that advanced into Luoyu's southern land.
Tao Shao took the initiative to choose to participate and was in it at the moment. He soon understood why Master Lin Yu had just said that.
Because there is absolutely no hindrance.
From Lin'an to Nanmo, Du En gave the line to them, Xiu Lin, just as he said before. Now there is no defense at all, and even Zhen Hong Zhenren was quietly called back.
