Chapter 82 The foothold

In the past, Sun Zecheng would have wanted to hunt rabbits and rob people along the way. However, after the impromptu hunting trip to Lingshou Mountain, although he eventually killed the beast, it was a fluke. If the beast had been a golden elixir that could burrow into the earth, he would have died. Sun Zecheng was terrified. So, after thinking about it, he decided to go back and hand in the task.

Linghu Patriarch's cave, after Linghu Patriarch took the jade slip handed over by Sun Zecheng and read it, he put it aside and asked Sun Zecheng: "Then according to your opinion, where should we settle down?"

"Go south and look for a place to stay within the Nine-Nation Alliance," Sun Zecheng said the final answer he had already known.

“The Nine-Nation Alliance has Wei Wuya, who is in the late Nascent Soul stage, in charge.” Elder Linghu threw out the difficult question in his mind.

"The biggest enemy of the Nine-Nation Alliance is Mulan Fashi. After seeing the strength of our six factions, it is not difficult for them to choose between being attacked from all sides and accepting us to jointly resist Mulan. If the six factions can go together, the stronger the power they show, the easier it will be to reach a compromise." Sun Zecheng spoke confidently.

"That makes sense." Linghu Patriarch nodded with satisfaction and suddenly asked Sun Zecheng: "How old are you?"

"In reply to the old ancestor, I will be twenty-seven in a few days."

"It's not easy for someone so young to have such insight." After a brief thought, Elder Linghu said decisively, "I'll give you another mission. You must immediately go south to the Nine Nations Alliance and meet up with your Uncle Lei, and then help him plan where to stay! Don't let any news leak out!"

"As ordered!"

……

In the capital of Yu State, Binzhirujia is an old inn in the capital.

There was a villa in the inn. Sun Zecheng found the address given by Patriarch Linghu and entered the sound transmission note.

The ban was quickly opened, and Nie Ying looked at Sun Zecheng with a smile of surprise and joy.

"Brother Sun! Why are you here?"

"Because I miss you!" This sentence rolled in Sun Zecheng's throat countless times. He had thought it through clearly and would not avoid it anymore when he was in the high tower of the Blood Forbidden Land. But for some reason, when he saw the real person, he could not say it anymore. He could only stare at each other stupidly.

It seemed like a long time had passed yet it seemed like just a moment. Sun Zecheng walked forward without saying anything and hugged Nie Ying tightly!

Nie Ying also responded to Sun Zecheng enthusiastically. She closed the ban and hugged Sun Zecheng back tightly.

Sun Zecheng gently smelled the fragrance of Nie Ying's hair and felt intoxicated...

"Cough cough!" An untimely cough interrupted the two young men. It turned out that Lei Wanhe came out.

"Master!" Nie Ying instantly separated like a frightened rabbit, lowered her head and her face flushed.

"I don't want to disturb you, but since Junior Brother Sun has found this place, he must have received an order from Supreme Elder Linghu. Let's talk business first." Lei Wanhe casually released a soundproofing cover and said with a smile.

Sun Zecheng took out the token and sound transmission talisman of Linghu Patriarch, handed them to Lei Wanhe and said, "Linghu Patriarch ordered this disciple to meet up with Master Lei, and then help Master Lei plan where to stay."

Sun Zecheng had known him for a long time, but Lei Wanhe still carefully checked the token of Linghu Patriarch. After listening to Linghu Patriarch's sound transmission, he returned the token to Sun Zecheng and said solemnly to Sun Zecheng, "What do you think about the place to stay?" Fatty Lei, I just came here after traveling thousands of miles, can't you let me rest for a day or two before discussing business? Sun Zecheng secretly complained.

"Well, I am a junior brother, and I am not very knowledgeable. I just arrived, so I don't understand the situation yet..."

"Nephew Sun, you don't have to be so modest. Nie Ying told me a long time ago that it was mainly your credit that contributed to the discussion at Tianwutai. The Grand Elder also praised you for your extraordinary knowledge at such a young age."

Lei Wanhe paused and continued, "You may not understand the situation. About a year ago, I accidentally discovered that a Jindan cultivator from the Yuling Sect was secretly traveling to Lingshou Mountain, so I attacked the cultivator. I wanted to capture him as a witness, but he used a secret technique to escape..."

"I went back to report to the Grand Elder, and they all thought that the six sects of the Demonic Path might be colluding with each other to launch a large-scale invasion."

"Among the seven sects of Yue Kingdom, not only Lingshou Mountain, but also the strongest Yanyue Sect also originated from the Six Demonic Sects. There may be secret collusion between them. Therefore, our Huangfeng Valley is actually in danger! We must decide on a new place to settle down as soon as possible!" Lei Wanhe seriously introduced the situation he knew to Sun Zecheng.

When Nie Ying heard that Huang Fenggu was in danger, she pursed her lips and nodded repeatedly, and was very worried about the sect.

It turned out that Elder Lei was anxious. It’s okay. The invasion of the demonic sect happened when Han Li was 29 years old. I am the same age as Han Li, and I am only 27 years old. There are still two years left. There is no rush.

“Elder Lei, please be patient. The Yuling Sect sent an envoy to collude with the Spirit Beast Mountain just to prepare for war. Besides, the Yanyue Sect has two Yuanyings in its ranks. They are used to being independent and may not be willing to be inferior to others.”

"Besides, Yue and Tianluo are separated by Jiang and Cheqi. The six sects of the Demonic Path have to infiltrate, bribe, and defeat these two countries before they can conquer Yue. It will take more than two years for the real war to start. Master Lei, don't be in a hurry."

As a time traveler, the greatest golden finger is to predict the plot. Sun Zecheng easily said that the predicted plot was the result of analysis. His confident look in the speech instantly won Nie Ying's admiring gaze.

"My junior brother, what you said does make sense. However, it has been almost a year since I was ordered to leave the sect, and I have yet to determine the future location of the sect. We should not delay this matter." Lei Wanhe also felt that Sun Zecheng's analysis made sense, but there was more than one reason why he was so anxious.

"Well, what do you think, Master?" Although he already knew that the original plot was to eventually settle in Beiliang Kingdom, Sun Zecheng remained calm and listened to Lei Wanhe's thoughts first.

Lei Wanhe threw a map jade slip over and said, "My opinion is that it's Xu Country or Beiliang Country. Beiliang Country has the fewest sects and cultivators, so it's easy to conquer, but it has the worst spiritual vein resources. Xu Country has better spiritual vein resources than Beiliang Country, but it has many more sects and cultivators, so it's more difficult to conquer."

"Another question is that the nine countries in the south have formed an alliance called the Nine-Nation Alliance, and the leader is a late Nascent Soul cultivator. No matter which country we attack, we will probably provoke this late Nascent Soul cultivator. I wonder what Grand Elder Linghu thinks about this matter?"

This should be the fundamental reason why Lei Wanhe was hesitant to take action. Nie Ying nodded frequently beside him, expressing his confusion.

"Ancestor Linghu is a man of foresight. Since he asked you to go south to find a new place to stay, he must have considered this matter thoroughly."

"The Nine-Nation Alliance was originally established to fight against the Mulan people. The biggest enemy of the Nine Nations is first and foremost the Mulan people. We are of course here to help the Nine Nations resist the Mulan people. We are just borrowing a place as a base. Of course, since it is just a base, the natural choice can only be Beiliang Kingdom." Sun Zecheng said with a smile.

Anyone can crush someone with force, but we need to do things scientifically. Using the name of jointly fighting against alien races and using courtesy before force can greatly reduce the intensity of the confrontation.

Lei Wanhe savored it for a while before he understood it. He gave Sun Zecheng a thumbs up and said, "Great!"

At this time, Fatty Lei regained his smiling face and said, "Junior Brother Sun has come from afar, you should rest for two days first. Nie Ying, you can help me get familiar with the environment. I will be out for a while and will be back in two days!"
