The Wheel-Turning Master.

Seeing that Gu Yao was trying hard to pick the bones of Miaomiao and Jiang Yu, Lin Bai couldn't bear to see his beloved disciple being bullied, so he immediately stood up and left.

Anyway, after spending a lot of time here, Gu Yao was like guarding against thieves and couldn't get anything done!

Aunt Gu had to recuperate from her injuries, so although she was summoned from time to time to question him, it was difficult for her to get close to her.

Therefore, Lin Bai practiced here wholeheartedly, and now he is about to break through to the third level of Golden Elixir.

"You go first, I'll be there soon." Gu Qingshui said.

The master and his two disciples bowed and were about to leave, but Miaomiao held Gu Yao and said that she liked the scenery here and the feathers on the wild pheasant's tail. She wanted to make a feather fan to honor her master and asked Gu Yao to help her.

Seeing that Miaomiao and Jiang Yu were so filial, Gu Yao didn't want to refuse. They were leaving soon anyway, so even though it was a bit silly, she still agreed.

A total of six wild pheasants were plucked, and three tail feathers were plucked from each. Miaomiao and Jiangyu were also considerate enough to give the wild pheasants a few bottles of medicinal pills.

The master and his two disciples went west together. When they reached Black Wind Mountain, they stopped to take a look.

Yang Shaoan and Yang Shu were discussing mundane affairs in the Northern Wilderness, and both of them had weathered expressions on their faces.

The three of them gathered together and discussed what was happening here in low voices.

"Meng Yiwei said that they don't want to participate in the battle of Wanshou Mountain." Yang Shaoan said with a smile.

"It's already this late, can they still escape?" Lin Bai didn't believe it, so he laughed too, "I think they know they can't escape, so they want to negotiate more conditions."

"They killed too many people, and the people back home couldn't stand it anymore." Yang Shu looked at Lin Bai again and asked with a smile, "How is Ancestor Gu?"

"My injuries haven't healed yet, but if there are any orders from the front, I will naturally obey them." Lin Bai said with a smile.

Yang Shu and Yang Shaoan looked at each other, chuckled a few times, and looked at Lin Bai meaningfully.

Lin Bai was too lazy to chat with them any more, so he said goodbye after talking for a while, thinking to himself, you guys can laugh at me all you want, I'm going to go find Sister Huanhuan!

Yang Shu did not let him go. He chatted with Jiang Yu for a while and said that he had found several excellent spots for fishing. However, he did not pay much attention to Miaomiao and only said that Miaomiao's character was worrying.

"It's a pity that I always give in to him when we go fishing!" Miaomiao was angry on the way back.

After arriving at Songhe Mountain, Lin Bai first went to the main hall to ask for an audience with Patriarch Yang, but he did not get any orders. He was only asked to follow Gu Jiuzhong temporarily and make arrangements after Jiang Xingchi came back.

"Nothing much. We are all waiting for Senior Jiang to bring reinforcements." Gu Jiuzhong didn't care about Lin Bai's life or death. He just let Lin Bai go wild.

Lin Bai was a vassal of the Gu family and a favorite general under Gu Qingshui, but he was so suspicious of the Gu family that he felt sad. Even Miaomiao couldn't stand it anymore. "Master helped the old ancestor to practice, but they didn't express their gratitude. They acted as if they had robbed their spiritual stones! It's just sleeping with the old ancestor, isn't it? What a big deal! Really!"

Feeling upset, Lin Bai went to find Sister Huanhuan for comfort.

The two met outside Mianlong Mountain, which is quite similar to today's scene.

We hadn't seen each other for a long time, so we were even happier.

"The ancestor just told me to be patient and wait, and didn't say anything more." Afterwards, Yang Huan talked about business.

"In that case, it seems we should still wait for the arrangements of Ancestor Xiang and Ancestor Jiang." Lin Bai said with a smile.

"It's been two years since the Northern Expedition. Almost all of Qiaoshan, including people and things, have moved here." Yang Huan muttered quietly, "I don't think I can go back."

As she spoke, she came up to him again.

A day later, Miaomiao and Jiangyu came.

"Senior Jiuzhashanjing invites you." Miaomiao said.

After hearing this, Yang Huan decided not to keep anyone there.

After leaving the tent, Miaomiao and Jiang Yu presented the feather fans with a smile.

Lin Bai held it in his hand and gestured a few times, and his two disciples praised it endlessly, saying that it was obvious that he was a wise man who could plan and strategize.

After receiving all the flattery, Lin Bai came to the Jiuzha Mountain base.

"How is your master?" Lin Bai asked with concern when he saw Jing Shitui.

Jing Si Tui shook his head slightly, without saying much, and only asked: "What is Senior Jiang's plan?"

Lin Bai knew something, but he couldn't say much. He could only shake his head and said, "Don't worry, Brother Jing. Senior Jiang has made arrangements, and they will be effective soon."

The two of them drank for half a day and calmed Jing Shitui down before Lin Bai went to find Jiang Yatou.

"Why do you look like you want to finish all the meals you will have from now on?" After going through several storms, Lin Bai couldn't help but ask.

"I don't feel very peaceful." Jiang Xiaobai said.

"About the Wanshou Mountain incident?" Lin Bai asked.

"Not bad." Jiang Xiaobai nodded and tried to pester him again.

"Your ancestor is so powerful. He used himself as a chess piece, moved horizontally and vertically, used the opponent's force to fight back, and forced the Huashen Sect into a dead end." Lin Bai had confidence in Jiang Xingchi, in Xiang Laozu, and even more in Chen Tianren. "Just wait and see, your ancestor is just like my mortal procuress, who pulls all the patrons into the store and makes them willingly give out everything!"

Jiang Xiaobai was stunned when he heard this, and said, "I'm not worried that the ancestor won't be able to find anyone."

She sat up straight, leaned forward a little, and whispered, "I'm afraid that someone will come and the old incident of Black Wind Mountain will happen again. Most of the people who died before were old people from Zhouhui Mountain, and they can't make any waves. Jiuzha Mountain and Yunxia Sect can be calmed down. But if a few more people die, my ancestor..."

Lin Bai understood what she meant. She was afraid that if her request to the ancestor failed, her family would be cut off from the East China Sea.

Of course, if the ancestor can succeed, then Jiang Xingchi will be able to drink and eat meat in peace even if he kills a few more Yuanying.

The two talked for several days but couldn't come to any conclusion.

Another month passed in a hurry, and the tacit understanding between the Northern Expedition Allied Forces and Wanshou Mountain was still there. Both pretended that the other did not exist, one huddled in the icy formation of Wanshou Mountain, and the other hid in the protective formation of Songhe Mountain.

There is no conflict between the two sides and they live in harmony like playing house.

One day, Lin Bai was meditating when Master Qingyu came to see him.

"The ancestor is calling on you, senior." Shi Qingyu was very respectful.

Seeing Jiang Xingchi coming back, Lin Bai quickly picked up the feather fan and rushed to the hall on the top of Songhe Mountain.

When we arrived at the place, there was no one else there except Jiang Xingchi.

There are also more than ten Jindan cultivators, all of whom are representatives of the Nascent Soul stage from various families, such as Gu Jiuchong, Yang Shaoan, Jing Situi, Meng Yiwei, as well as Shi Qinglan of the Shi family, Sun Shiqi of the Tianyan Sword Sect, and Po Yunzi.

Jiang Xingchi had a warm and kind face. He did not talk about business, but first asked about the situation of the elders of each family.

The ancestor of the Gu family is recuperating in Huludao, Menghu Lake, the ancestor of the Shi family is recuperating in his hometown, Shitou City, the Taoist Lihuo is recuperating in Huoyan Mountain, Meng Shanhe is recuperating in Black Wind Mountain, and Yun Wujiu is nowhere to be found.

Although they were all injured and their fighting capacity was worrying, Jiang Xingchi did not take it seriously. Instead, he earnestly comforted the golden elixirs of each family so as not to let the disciples under him become restless.

The group of Jindan didn't dare to say anything since they didn't have their elders to support them. They just had to obey orders obediently.

"Now that we have accumulated a lot of supplies, various sects, families, and many independent cultivators are crowded together. We must not make any mistakes and give Shoutian Pavilion an opportunity to take advantage of us."

Jiang Xingchi looked at the golden elixirs in the hall, and finally looked at Jing Shitui, and said: "Jing Shitui, you have the demeanor of an elder."

He took out a token and continued, "You, Yang Shaoan, and Gu Jiuzhong will patrol the local area and coordinate various places. Be on guard against ignorant people who might incite others, flee, or bully the weak, and stabilize the morale of the army. You will be the leader and act with this token. You can kill the Foundation Establishment cultivators first and report to me later. You can report to me if the Golden Core cultivators violate military laws." After saying that, he handed the token to Jing Situi.

Jing Situi didn't know how he caught the eye of Master Jiang, but he didn't dare to refuse, so he had to step forward and accept it respectfully.

Then Jiang Xingchi called out the names of Lin Bai and Sun Shiqi and asked them to accompany him.

This Sun Shiqi was none other than the leader of the Tianyan Sword Sect, the descendant of the late Nascent Soul Sun Baopu. She was a young female Golden Core cultivator and also a sword practitioner.

Ever since Sun Baopu passed away, the Tianyan Sword Sect lost its backbone, and a group of people were fighting for the position of the leader.

However, Sun Shiqi did not interfere much in the affairs of the sect. He came directly with a group of relatives, saying that he wanted to avenge his ancestor, and thus he was appreciated by Jiang Xingchi.

After a while, Jiang Xingchi took Lin Sun and Jiang Xiaobai with him and went to Wanshou Mountain.

"The blessed land of Longevity Mountain is certainly not comparable to Black Wind Mountain." Jiang Xingchi smiled kindly, pointing to the frozen snowy area ahead, "The spiritual energy here is as rich as water, and it is endless. If we use extremely high-level means to set up formations, even if it is opened all year round, the blessed land of Longevity Mountain can still support it."

"I believe Senior Xie already has a way to break the formation." Lin Bai asked with a smile.

"That's right. Xie Qingxuan is a man of great talent, and he has the ability to see through heaven and earth." Jiang Xingchi expressed great admiration for Xie Qingxuan, and looked at the frost and snow on Wanshou Mountain with his hands behind his back. "The art of formations relies on the power of people, land, and the great way of heaven and earth. Even if it is extremely mysterious, it is still human power. Xie Qingxuan already has a way to break the formation."

He said no more and took the three of them for a careful walk around Wanshou Mountain. It was unknown whether they had discovered any clues.

Anyway, Lin Bai didn't see it. Although he studied the book "Entering the Formation", his realm was limited and his vision was naturally a little poor. He only felt that Wanshou Mountain was sealed by ice and snow. Even if there were traces to follow, it would be difficult to find a way to break the formation.

Ten days later, Jiang Xingchi saw that Jing Shitui and the other two had reorganized the Northern Expedition Army, so he ordered Lin Bai to bring Xia He.

Xia He had previously been harassing the cargo ship passage and was lured and captured by Lin Bai, and had been imprisoned for a long time.

It is also very interesting that this man did not beg for mercy, death or surrender while being imprisoned.

"You are Xia Yufeng's descendant. I respect him as a man and will let you go."

Jiang Xingchi was very kind and said, "Since you were captured by Lin Zhuanlun, let him send her back!"

After saying this, Jiang Xingchi sent another message through voice transmission.

Lin Bai had no choice but to grab Xia He's shoulders and head towards Wanshou Mountain.

"Where is Brother Wumu? An old friend from Qiaoshan is here to visit!" Lin Bai came closer and called out his old friend's name.

A corner of the Wanshou Mountain Ice Array was opened, and Wumu Qian came out with a dark face.

He saw Lin Bai holding Xia He, with many monks looking at him from afar, and a group of people watching him from behind. He asked unhappily, "What do you want?"

"Fellow Daoist Xia has been staying at my place for a long time and is becoming more and more homesick, so he asked me to take him home." Lin Bai threw Xia He over and took out a feather fan and waved it gently.

Wu Muqian took Xia He, took a quick look at it, and threw it directly to the person behind him.

"Brother Zhuanlun is so kind!" Wumuqian's expression finally looked better.

"It's just for Brother Wu Mu's sake." Lin Bai smiled.

"What else do you have to say?" Wu Muqian asked with a frown.

Lin Bai smiled and bowed, then said loudly, "My Qiaoshan ancestor Jiang once said that Senior Kong of your sect is extremely powerful and killed five Yuanying in one battle, which was truly earth-shattering. I dare not compete with him again. I also know that your sect is full of talented people, and there are countless people who are better than Xia He. I hope that we can set up the arena tomorrow, and both sides can each bring out three golden pills to see who is better."

After hearing this, Wu Muqian immediately said, "I will accompany you!"

The next day, the two sides drew up a territory between Songhe Mountain and Wanshou Mountain. No Nascent Soul was present, and the people who presided over the meeting were Jing Shitui and Wumuqian.

There were a lot of people watching the battle on both sides, including dozens of Jindan cultivators and hundreds of foundation-building cultivators.

The three people on our side are Jiang Xiaobai, Yang Shaoan and Po Yunzi.

The fight lasted from sunrise to sunset. Jiang Xiaobai was seriously injured and defeated, Yang Shaoan was directly beaten into coma, and only Po Yunzi won easily.

Jingsi returned the gambling money and invited Wumuqian to fight again tomorrow.

By tomorrow, our side will be Gao Yuanyuan, Shi Qinglan and Sun Shiqi.

This time it was better. Gao Yuanyuan returned with a great victory, Shi Qinglan fought for a draw with the opponent, and Sun Shiqi almost died together with the opponent before he won a narrow victory.

This went on for ten days in a row. First, the Jindan phase was fought for three days, and then the foundation-building phase was played.

As the fight became more and more lively, more and more people came to watch the fight. When the fight got intense, they kept cursing at each other, but after all, there were a group of Jindan to suppress it, so it was relatively harmonious, and some people even opened a betting.

This is a rare occasion. Anyone with an ambitious mind would like to try his luck in the hope of making some progress.

Qu Ruyi and Huang Ruhua also ran away and lost face. Because Huang Ruhua admitted that she was a bad disciple of the fairy, she was beaten to death. Even with the help of the green snake, they were beaten and the snake ran around.

Lin Bai also asked his two disciples and Dugu Jing to give it a try. They already knew Jiang Yu and Miao Miao's whereabouts, so they fought for their lives and beat the two girls badly. Dugu Jing was also defeated.

"Oh, it's a good thing I bet on myself to lose!" Miaomiao was very shameless. She wanted to find Jiang Yu, but was told that Jiang Yu was so ashamed that he went back to be punished.

Miaomiao had no choice but to ignore the boos and went to the exchange office set up by the Northern Expedition Army to exchange the spirit stones. Then she dragged her injured body to Shoutian Pavilion and said, "I bought yours too! You have to be honest!" When she saw that the other party didn't want to exchange, she said that they were dishonest.

There was no other way, so the people from Shoutian Pavilion pinched their noses and exchanged the spirit stones.
"Come here!" I don't know who called Zhu Jianyang, but he was furious. As soon as he saw Miaomiao, he dragged her back, obviously wanting to use family rules.

After a series of battles like this, Jing Situi invited Wumuqian's army to fight again. Each side sent out three thousand cultivators and five golden elixirs.

Wu Muqian naturally accepted it.

The two sides fought for a while, but there were few casualties, as if it was just a joke.

Then he gradually increased the amount, first to five thousand, and then to ten thousand.

It seemed like child's play at first, but as the fight got more and more fierce, both sides became more courageous and started fighting to the death.

After several rounds of fighting, both sides suffered heavy casualties, seven Jindan died, more than sixty foundation-building died, and nearly two thousand Qi training died. As for the number of seriously injured, it was countless.

The battlefield between Songhe Mountain and Wanshou Mountain was covered in blood and there were countless broken magical weapons and flying swords.

At this moment, both sides finally remembered that this was a battle of life and death.

Ten days later, a beam of light came from the south, and the minor military battle was stopped.

Lin Bai went to ask Jing Shitui and found out that the visitor was Zheng Yehe, the Nascent Soul of Jiuyin Mountain.

Two days later, Sect Master Hua of the Hehuan Sect and City Master Zhu of the Tianhuo City came to visit, followed by most of the cultivators who were still staying behind.

Then Xue Liufeng from Xuyun Sect, Gu Zangsong from Guyang School and Mei Linghan from Qingxin Xuan Sect arrived one after another.

Those who were recuperating from their injuries earlier, including Gu Qingshui from Qiaoshan, Lihuo Taoist from Jiuzhashan, Meng Shanhe from Heifengshan, and Shihuayu from the Shi family, have all arrived.

Thus, together with Jiang Xingchi and Yang Yangxin of Qiaoshan, Yun Wujiu of Yunxia Sect and Du Jueming of Jiuzhashan, there are fourteen Nascent Souls in total.

And this was still on the surface. The Lord of Qiaoshan had not arrived, and Xie Qingxuan, an old friend of Zhouhuishan, had not come either, and the fox who loved to join in the fun had not made any movement.

No one knows what conditions Jiang Xingchi promised to invite so many people, but the pressure is already there. (End of this chapter)
