Speed ​​Pass starts with choosing a hunter

Chapter 446 Focus on the heart
Moon stars are rare.

In the Tianxuan sect camp.

The face of the head of the sect, Qian Hui, was not good. The day before yesterday, the Tianxuan sect and the Shuofang army had a fierce battle in the mountains, and the final result was a crushing defeat for the Tianxuan sect.

It has long been rumored that Bai Yuan brought a lot of monster hunters from southern Xinjiang.

Now it is confirmed.

The methods of those monster hunters were too strange. In addition, the Shuofang Army was well-equipped to the point of being enviable. Although they were small in number, they were extremely powerful. Unless the army was composed of inner disciples of the Tianxuan Sect, they were no match for the enemy.

But the inner disciples are the treasures of the sect, and there are too many interests involved.

If it was the previous Linghu Yang, there might be a way to suppress it, but he was just a sect leader who was forcibly promoted by the ancestor, and his influence was not enough. The other three sects of Tianxuan Sect always obeyed his orders in name only.

"If we continue like this, we will definitely fail."

Qian Hui's eyes flickered.

If the Shuofang Army really won, the Tianxuan Sect might be able to survive, but the same cannot be said for him, the sect leader.

As the leader of a sect, he must stand up and even die for the glory of the sect.

Based on his understanding of the old ancestor, he did not have a good temper, so the ending would definitely be the worst.

As he was thinking—

Suddenly he felt a strange breath behind him, so faint that if he had not already cleared his mind, he would not even have been able to detect it.

"who is it!"

Qian Hui turned his head suddenly.

But just as he saw the person in the shadow of the big tent, his pupils suddenly shrank.

Before he could say anything, the man opposite him spoke first: "Master Qian, don't worry, I have no hostility towards you, and even if I want to kill you, you can't stop me."

Hearing this, Qian Hui suppressed the panic in his heart.

What the man in front of me said was true, because his name was Bai Yuan.

"Master Bai, what brings you to my camp?"

Bai Yuan smiled slightly: "Master Qian, in fact, you and I are friends, not enemies, there is no need to be so nervous."

"I think Lord Bai is wrong."

Qian Hui snorted coldly, looking righteous.

He had no intention of getting involved with the enemy: "Please leave. We are both from the martial arts world. We will meet on the battlefield. Life and death will be decided by fate."

Qian Hui was much tougher at this moment and did not intend to beg for mercy in the first confrontation.

Just as Bai Yuan said, if the other party wanted to kill him, he would have done it long ago. Since he didn't do it, then at least he would not die tonight.

Bai Yuan: "Master Qian, you should know that the Tianxuan Sect is bound to fail, so why are you struggling?"

"Don't mess up my army's morale. My Tianxuan sect has the old ancestor in charge. You don't stand a chance at all."

Qian Hui’s eyes became even colder.

"Oh?"

"Master Qian, the Tianxuan Sect may still exist, but you may not."

Bai Yuan deliberately prolonged his voice.

Hearing this, Qian Hui's face became even gloomier.

He knew very well his current situation. The position of the head of the sect was originally a scapegoat, and the ancestor might not have intended to resist at all.

The Tianxuan Sect is located in Tianxuan Mountain, not in Lingzhou, nor in the northern border.

The situation is now in chaos, and the ancestor has made it clear that he wants to completely close the mountain gate. After the storm subsides, the Tianxuan Sect, with a powerful spiritual master in charge, will still be the most outstanding force in the world.

But if you want to stay out of it completely, you must have a reason.

Otherwise, Zhengyangmen and Hanging Temple would not let them sit back and reap the benefits.

In other words, the Tianxuan Sect must pay a huge enough price to extricate itself from the chaotic world.

And he was the victim chosen by the ancestor.

He had begged many times, but the old ancestor had no intention of helping.

Qian Hui certainly understood that the ancestor wanted to send everyone on the front line to death, so that the Tianxuan Sect would be seriously injured, and then it would be natural to close the mountain gate, and even the Zhengyang Sect and the Hanging Temple would not be able to find fault with it.

Everything is perfect.

But the only bad thing is that he will die, and he must die.

Otherwise, no matter how many people die on the front line, it will be impossible to convince the two major clans.

Bai Yuan: "Master Qian, as far as I know, you joined the Tianxuan Sect after you became famous, and you have only been here for fifty years."

Fifty years is, of course, an extremely long time for ordinary people.

But for Grand Master Mingxin, it was extremely short.

Qian Hui: "Master Bai, what do you want to say?"

Bai Yuan's lips curled up slightly with a smile: "I want to say, Master Qian, you don't have to die."

"."

Qian Hui said nothing more.

"Master Qian, as long as you are willing to come to Shuofang, you will be a great guest of Shuofang, and your status will be second only to mine."

"We are all wandering around the world, and you are not from the Tianxuan Sect. We are just moving to a new place."

"And if you are willing, I can also introduce Master Qian to the Dragon and Tiger Sect. You are also a Taoist, so you should be able to get used to living there."

"Don't worry about me doing something to destroy the bridge after crossing the river. As long as the Tianxuan Sect is still there, you will be fine.

Qian Hui: “.”

He didn't want to die, so when he heard Bai Yuan's words, his heart began to waver, especially when he mentioned the Dragon and Tiger Sect.

Different from the previous heads, he is of pure Taoist heritage and did not come from a big sect. He is the only one who knows the hardships that have led him to where he is today.

Originally, he was already the leader of a faction.

The reason for changing the affiliation midway was, of course, to reach a higher level.

If he went to those big sects, he could at most be a guest official. Only the Tianxuan Sect promised him the position of deputy leader. Although the Tianxuan Sect had declined, its foundation was still there. Only then did Qian Hui agree.

But now tell him to die.

Of course it was impossible for him to go. In fact, even if Bai Yuan didn't come, he would think of other ways.

loyalty?

ridiculous!

He has always been loyal only to himself.

And as far as he knew, Bai Yuan did have a close relationship with the Dragon and Tiger Sect. If he could join the Dragon and Tiger Sect, he would make a profit. If he stayed in Shuofang, he would not lose anything either. It was better than losing his life.

Gritting his teeth.

Boom!
Qian Hui bent his legs and knelt directly in front of Bai Yuan.

"Master Bai, I associated with the thieves just to save my life. Now I have come to my senses. I hope you will not abandon me. I will do my best to help you save the country."

well.

Bai Yuan looked at Qian Hui's actions and was very satisfied.

Although he could take more time to capture the Tianxuan Sect's front-line army by brute force, many people would inevitably die.

Every soldier in the Shuofang Army is precious, so we will try our best not to damage them if possible.

As the art of war says, the best strategy is to attack the enemy's plans, the next best is to attack their alliances, the next best is to attack their troops, and the worst is to attack their cities.

If the problem can be solved by attacking the heart, there is no need to resort to military force.

But just as Qian Hui was about to stand up, his pupils suddenly widened and a look of disbelief appeared in his eyes.

"Well"

"Immortal!"

There was a red light flashing inside Qian Hui's body, the light became brighter and brighter, and his whole body was expanded several times.

Finally a bang!
It actually exploded directly.

Looking at the strange scene in front of him, Bai Yuan frowned.

This is the method used by the ancestor of Tianxuan Sect!
Killing a great master Mingxin from thousands of miles away is simply unheard of.

Very strong! Bai Yuan had fought with the ancestor of Tianxuan Sect before, and the opponent was indeed very strong, and now this method was unheard of.

He is indeed a powerful person who has reached the level of gods through means of the three religions.

The ancestor of the Tianxuan Sect really had a backup plan for Qian Hui.

The commotion here soon alarmed other powerful men in the camp. Just when those Tianxuan Sect strongmen rushed to the tent, Bai Yuan disappeared in a flash.

Several Tianxuan Sect warriors were dumbfounded when they saw the bloody scene in the big tent.

"The leader is dead!"

The Tianxuan Sect was already weak, and now Qian Hui, as the only Grand Master of Mingxin, was dead, causing the morale of the army to be low.

Many strong men quietly walked out of the crowd, found a deserted place and disappeared.

Before the Tianxuan Sect's army could come to their senses, the Shuofang army had already attacked them.

Without a leader, the Tianxuan Sect naturally became a mess.

Even if a few commanders temporarily organized an attack, they were like a mantis trying to stop a chariot in front of the elite troops of Shuofang, and posed no threat at all.

After a night of pursuit.

In the end, the Shuofang Army won a great victory.

Except for one person who fell off a cliff while chasing the enemy because he was eager to make a contribution, no one was injured.

This situation was within Bai Yuan's expectations.

Who can blame the fact that every soldier in the Shuofang Army is equipped with such outrageous equipment? Even the divine iron cannot cause much damage to the armored soldiers.

Moreover, Qian Hui died, and the morale of the Tianxuan faction was in great chaos.

"Just win?"

Li Huan looked at the corpses all over the mountain and felt that it was a little unreal.

Before coming to Lingzhou, he felt that the war between the two sides would be extremely brutal and would last for a long time.

But in the end, the battle was over in less than a month.

And it was a huge victory.

Bai Yuan was very calm, as he knew very well that this great victory was not earned by him, but was given to him by the ancestor of Tianxuan Sect.

Enough!

This battle for the Tianxuan sect is not just a pretense.

In addition to a few core disciples, the Tianxuan Sect also dispatched nearly half of its elder disciples to participate in the battle, which was considered to be the best effort.

After the battle, it was found that the Tianxuan Sect was not pretending, but was truly seriously damaged.

There are almost no strong people in the entire sect except for the old ancestor.

If nothing unexpected happens, the Tianxuan Sect will probably seal the mountain gate and will not reopen it until the chaos is completely over.

It was obvious that the old ancestor was using half of the Tianxuan Sect's life to extend his life.

And he did.

Even though Bai Yuan saw through the old ancestor's thoughts, he would not really use the lives of the Shuofang army to fill Tianxuan Mountain.

The Tianxuan Sect has been operating for ten thousand years. With the ancestor Tongshen in charge of Tianxuan Mountain, even the big sects like the Zhengyang Sect are helpless, let alone him.

The old chief of the demon hunters and his companions were extremely excited as they looked at the results of the battle before them.

The demon hunters have been in decline for thousands of years, suppressed by the major clans in the Central Plains and unable to raise their heads. How could they have ever felt so happy?
The Tianxuan Sect had once attacked the demon hunters in the past. Although a thousand years had passed, it was still remembered in the ancestral temple and had never been forgotten. Now it could be considered revenge.

And all this is because of the new clan leader Bai Yuan
Bai Yuan: "Continue marching."

"Yes!"

Li Huan and several old clan leaders immediately accepted the order.

Since the ancestor of the Tianxuan Sect wanted to give him a big gift, he must of course accept it all.

Except for the front-line troops, almost all the people of Tianxuan Sect are now in Tianxuan Mountain. The entire Lingzhou is empty, and a sweep across it will cost almost nothing.

This time, there were less than 10,000 people following Bai Yuan, but they were all elite troops.

Such an army was naturally adept at waging blitzkrieg. In just three days, the Shuofang army swept across the entire Lingzhou. Except for Lingzhou City, the leaders of other cities were all killed.

It's just different from several other states.

Bai Yuan had no intention of managing Lingzhou. He simply killed the strong men of Tianxuan Sect and left behind a chaotic city with no one in charge.

He attacked Lingzhou in order to open up a route for transporting grain.

But there is no intention to divide the land and become a king.

It is sufficient to send troops to ensure that official roads are unobstructed. As for other things, the more chaotic the better.

In a city in Lingzhou.

Bai Yuan and Li Huan stood on the city wall, overlooking the entire city.

"Brother Li, how do you think your knowledge compares to that Grand Secretary Situ?"

Hearing Bai Yuan's strange question, Li Huan groaned: "Although Situ Nan is seeking fame and reputation, he is indeed quite capable in learning. However, I have studied at the White Deer Academy for several years, and I think I am not bad at all."

As the prince of Qingzhou, Li Huan naturally received top-notch treatment.

The Bailu Academy is coveted by scholars all over the world, and any prince who is favored by the King of Qingzhou can go there.

He studied at Bailu Academy for several years, and his grades were always good, and he often received praise from his teacher.

Bai Yuan: "Brother Li, there is something you are just right for."

"What's the matter?"

Li Huan became even more curious.

"Transmit the knowledge."

Hearing the two words coming out of Bai Yuan's mouth, Li Huan's eyes narrowed slightly involuntarily.

He is such a smart guy.

I understood Bai Yuan's meaning almost instantly.

This meant that he was to learn from Situ Nan and preach in Lingzhou.

Unlike Situ Nan before, now that the Tianxuan Sect has blocked the mountain gate, there is no possibility of dealing with him. As long as all the people in Lingzhou become supporters of Bai Yuan, the Tianxuan Sect will completely lose Lingzhou.

Even if the war really subsides one day, the Tianxuan Sect will be trapped in Tianxuan Mountain.

Bai Yuan: "Brother Li, can you do it?"

Li Huan was eager to try: "I can give it a try."

Bai Yuan nodded.

The highest realm of military strategy is to conquer the enemy without fighting, that is, to attack the enemy's heart. Do you really think that Confucianism can remain at the top of the three religions simply by playing with luck?

wrong!
It is to understand people’s hearts.

Bai Yuan wanted to give the other party a taste of their own medicine, so that the Tianxuan Sect would have difficulty causing any more trouble, and he could also deliver the supplies to the Zhenxi Army with peace of mind.

In this way, 30% of Xuanyang's territory is under the control of his lineage.

Whether or not to dominate is one thing.

But first you must ensure that you have enough strength so that you can deal with future changes more calmly.

Five days later.

In the northwest desert, the scene of yellow sand all over the sky is vast and magnificent.

"The lonely smoke is straight in the desert, and the sun sets over the long river."

This was Bai Yuan’s first time in Western Desert, and he couldn’t help but think of a poem from his previous life.

Behind him was an invisible convoy.

These are all food and fodder shipped from the northern border. Bai Yuan wants to use the power of the northern border to feed the Zhenbei Army and the Zhenxi Army.

Just as he finished speaking, a loud voice rang out: "I've heard that you have a talent for poetry, but I didn't believe it. I didn't expect it to be true. You're better than Dong!"

The next moment, an old man in armor appeared in the yellow sand.

Bai Yuan surprise:

"Master!"
