Chapter 81 Those originally blank and unknown contents

Outside Lei Wanhe's cave, looking at the absent-minded Murong brothers, Sun Zecheng knew that Nie Ying had not returned.

In fact, it was not surprising. When Sun Zecheng heard about the mission of Ancestor Linghu, he had a guess and also felt that Lei Wanhe and Nie Ying had not returned.

Speaking of the mission, the mission assigned by Patriarch Linghu is not a difficult one at all. Instead, it has extremely low danger level and great freedom, which can be said to be exactly what Sun Zecheng wants.

All the way north, Patriarch Linghu gave Sun Zecheng the task of secretly searching for a place to move northwards for the sect to survive when facing the danger of extinction.

At this moment, flying high in the sky, with a cool breeze blowing, Sun Zecheng was finally able to fill in the blanks and unknown contents that he had read when he read the original novel of "Mortal":

After Lei Wanhe severely injured the Jindan cultivator of Yuling Sect and searched in vain, he returned to Huangfeng Valley to report to Linghu Patriarch. After a period of thinking, Linghu Patriarch guessed that Lingshou Mountain had rebelled and could not trust the other five sects. He also clearly foresaw the fate of the seven sects of Yue State, who were sleeping in the same bed but dreaming different dreams. Therefore, Linghu Patriarch arranged for Lei Wanhe to go south to the territory of the Nine Nations Alliance to find a future foothold. Lei Wanhe took Nie Ying south to carry out the mission.

Lei Wanhe is in the late Jindan stage, and his lightning-based attacks are extremely powerful. He should be the strongest person in Huangfeng Valley after Linghu Yuanying. However, he was neither seen fighting on the front lines nor covering the retreat. It was obvious that he had already moved away with the sect's true core disciples and valuable treasures and assets.

Ancestor Linghu is not a time traveler, so he cannot predict when the demonic sect will start fighting. This arrangement should have the flavor of Ancestor Linghu handing over the sect in advance;
Of course, as a time traveler, Sun Zecheng knew that the final choice of Huangfeng Valley was to go south instead of north. So Linghu Patriarch arranged for him to go north to find a place to stay, maybe to have another option, or maybe just to set up a maze to make people unable to figure out his true intentions;

In the original novel, before Han Li left Tiannan Continent, he heard at the gathering in Baichi Mountain that Yanyue Sect and Jujian Sect were the ones who resisted to the end. Sun Zecheng guessed that because of the relationship between Yanyue Sect and the Demonic Hehuan Sect, Linghu Patriarch never dared to trust Yanyue Sect and did not inform Yanyue Sect in advance. It was not until he saw Yanyue Sect holding on that he confirmed that Yanyue Sect would not surrender, and then he contacted Yanyue Sect to move the Nine Nations Alliance's territory together;

As for the Giant Sword Sect, judging from the Blood Forbidden Land, most of the people in the Giant Sword Sect are stubborn. Sun Zecheng guessed that Linghu Patriarch did not dare to discuss confidential matters with such a straightforward fool, fearing that they would be exposed inadvertently. Since they were not prepared in advance and did not know where to move, they also held on until the end before being contacted to move to the Nine Nations Alliance together;

Following this line of thought, Sun Zecheng guessed that the destruction of Jiang and Cheqi was not because Yue was unaware of it, but because Yue knew it but pretended not to know and sacrificed the two countries. Otherwise, how could Yue not know about the war of annihilation? They thought the Yuanying old monsters were all children!

After sorting out the twists and turns behind all this, Sun Zecheng felt that it would be a good idea for Nie Ying to go to the south with his master to find a place to stay, which would be relatively safe.

The only bad thing is that with the mission of Ancestor Linghu on his shoulders and Lei Wanhe and Nie Ying together, Sun Zecheng would not dare to run to the south, so Sun Zecheng would not be able to see Nie Ying during the one-year mission.

Now Sun Zecheng just wants to complete the task as soon as possible.

……

Xiguo, Minzhou, Fengri City, Sun Zecheng stood on a reef, with the boundless sea in front of him.

Standing on this reef, Sun Zecheng somewhat understood why Huang Feng Valley was in the northernmost part of Yue State, but when Jinguyuan defeated Huang Feng Valley and fled, he did not choose to go north, but chose to cross the entire Yue State and go south. Along the way, all places with a little spiritual energy were occupied by sects and families, and the spiritual veins that could accommodate a sect like Huang Feng Valley with 10,000 people were naturally occupied by sects of the same size. There was only one way for Huang Feng Valley to settle down, and that was to rob.

There are two problems with snatching: whether you can snatch it all, and whether you can swallow it after snatching it.

Good spiritual veins, such as the Yunmeng Mountains, are occupied by the Ancient Sword Sect, Baiqiao Academy, and Luoyun Sect. Among these three, the weakest Luoyun Sect has two Nascent Souls, followed by Baiqiao Academy with three Nascent Souls, and the Ancient Sword Sect with as many as five Nascent Souls.

Even if the seven sects had not split up and were not defeated, they would not be able to defeat the enemy together. After they betrayed at Spirit Beast Mountain and the front line was defeated, what would they use to rob?
Are there any weak sects along the way? Of course there are, including one with a Nascent Soul stage. However, after Sun Zecheng investigated and understood, he found that each sect was not isolated. Behind the long-term stable pattern were various stable alliances or friendships. Seizing any one of them would mean a chain reaction and eventually going to war with several sects.

Once the war started, the immortal sects in the north had the Boundless Sea at their backs, so they didn't have to worry about being attacked from both sides, and could focus on fighting the six sects. The six sects, on the other hand, had the immortal sects in the north blocking their way in front and the six sects of the devil chasing them from behind. They were attacked from both sides, and the outcome was predictable.
As a second best option, they could seize the territory of a Jindan family. Not to mention whether the sect behind the Jindan family would go to war, even if they took it, the spiritual land occupied by a Jindan family could not support thousands or tens of thousands of cultivators in the sect.

Therefore, while marking the spiritual veins and occupiers in various places in the north on the map, Sun Zecheng wrote down his own opinions: Moving northward is not a good option. The northern immortal cultivation sects have the boundless sea behind them and are worry-free, so it is difficult for them to compromise. Once they are caught in a situation where they are not stable and are attacked from all sides, the consequences will be disastrous.

To the south, the Nine-Nation Alliance itself is facing tremendous pressure from Mulan's army. If they do not want to be attacked from all sides, it will be easy to reach a compromise. Moreover, accepting the six factions can strengthen their power to fight against Mulan.

In the original timeline, Linghu Patriarch should have seen this, so he would rather go south to face Wei Wuya, a late Nascent Soul cultivator known as one of the three great cultivators of Tiannan, rather than go north? In this way, Linghu Patriarch is really an old fox.

Well, half a year had passed to complete the mission assigned to Linghu Patriarch. After the failed hunting trip at Lingshou Mountain, Sun Zecheng no longer dared to think of robbing. His cultivation was still too low, and he was far from being able to act recklessly. He had to keep a low profile and complete the mission honestly. The war between the six sects of the Demonic Path would begin soon, and there would be plenty of opportunities for killing and robbing.

He was about to go home, and before he went back, he would stop by Luoyun Sect to see what the two beauties, Song Fengzhu and Mu Peiling, looked like. However, when Sun Zecheng asked for a glass of spirit wine at the Luoyun Sect Market Tavern at the foot of the eastern section of the Yunmeng Mountains and asked about these two beauties, he was told that he had never heard of them.

Strange, isn't she a beautiful lady from Luoyun Sect? Why haven't I heard of her?

Sun Zecheng took a sip of Yunmeng Lingjiu, which was so spicy that tears came to his eyes. He put down the wine glass and suddenly remembered that Han Li was about 200 years old when he entered Luoyun Sect. At that time, Master Song Feng was only about 100 years old in the Jindan stage, and Mu Peiling was in the foundation-building stage, about 30 or 40 years old. So, these two beauties were not born yet at this moment!

The Spirit Eye Tree on the Yunmeng Mountain was not yet capable of robbing, and the well-known beauty from the Luoyun Sect had not yet been born. Sun Zecheng suddenly felt it was boring, so he paid the bill and left.

Coming out of the tavern in the market town, Sun Zecheng wondered, where should I go?
