Stars fall and locust trees grow

Chapter 172 Questions

However, in just a few months, the Hengtianling Mountains, which had been desolate and barren for thousands of years, have begun to grow green.

Lush green grass spreads between the mountains of varying heights, swaying gently in the breeze, blooming with infinite vitality.

The big stone that was once used to place Li Chi’s coffin still lies quietly on the top of Feitian Peak, silently recording the changes of time and space amidst the erosion of wind and rain and the passage of time.

Being here again, Li Chi's mood is no longer the same as before.

When he just woke up, he felt joy and curiosity about rebirth, fear of the Juyun Sect, and worry and confusion about the future.

But at this moment, he would only think of the young man who, in order to resurrect himself, endured the pain and slaughtered all the direct descendants of Juyun Sect, and then kept running around, waiting at the foot of the mountain for more than ten years, and was finally tortured beyond recognition by the blood-draining disease.

The fat man who put him in the most important place in his heart, who seemed unreliable but was willing to protect him until his death.

His only blood relative, Xiao Axing.

Zeng Muhan didn't quite understand why his junior brother was staring at a big rock without saying a word, and his face looked a little heavy, but Hu Di, who knew the ins and outs of the matter, knew what Li Chi was thinking.

He walked over, whispered a few words of comfort, and then said: "The dead are gone, you don't have to be too sad. After all, all Qi Luoxing did was just to hope that you can live happily with his expectations. So, you can't let the dead down, right?!"

"I understand." Li Chi picked up the fur ball that had jumped onto the big rock and was sniffing around, poked the two small horns on its head, and said, "I just regret that I woke up too late."

If he could have woken up earlier and known Wei Li's true identity earlier, even if what happened later could not be changed, at least he could have stayed with Ah Xing for a little longer.

Seeing that Li Chi was still in a low mood, Hu Di suddenly raised his eyebrows and thought of something, and shouted: "Oh my! Why don't you set up another station in Mingyuejian? How about choosing the location at Feitian Peak?!"

"How can that be possible?!" Although Li Chi felt somewhat tempted, he also knew that this move was somewhat inappropriate.

It had only been a dozen days since the Tianqing Temple station was reported to the Alliance Headquarters, and the latest distribution map of the various sects in the Spiritual Realm had just been issued, and they were going to add another one during the Mingyue period. Not to mention that everything here had to be rebuilt, which was very expensive, the fact that they were adding more stations would easily cause dissatisfaction among other sects.

Although Ming Yuejian is rich, capable and broad-minded, and does not care about the rumors in the outside world, he cannot let the entire sect be criticized because of his own selfish desires.

Therefore, he would never agree to such a thing that would harm others and benefit himself. Besides, Feitian Peak would not run away, so as long as he had the opportunity to go out in the future, he could just stop by here and take a look.

He was just thinking about the pros and cons when he saw Gu Chuanlin, who had just been squatting on the ground digging up the grass, suddenly stand up and say, "Actually, I also think it's feasible to set up a station."

“Why are you going crazy with him?!” Li Chi didn’t bother to think about why Gu Chuanlin started to dig up the grass as soon as he landed. He just frowned in disapproval: “Let’s not talk about the fact that our Mingyuejian’s money didn’t come from the wind. Just think about the fact that we set up garrisons one after another. How do you think the people from other sects will view it?!”

Gu Chuanlin looked calm, but he said something surprising: "When I say setting up a station, I don't just mean Feitian Peak."

He paused and continued, "It's the entire Hengtian Ridge."

"...?!"

This time, not only Li Chi, but also Hu Di and Zeng Muhan were shocked.

There are thirty-nine peaks in Hengtianling, spanning Shuo, Qi, and Hui states, stretching for thousands of miles. If a sect only occupied one of the peaks and set up a garrison, it would not cause much commotion, but if they wanted to take over the entire Hengtianling, it would not be that easy.

Hu Di was a man of persistent and single-minded hobbies, and he never paid much attention to such complicated matters. However, seeing Gu Chuanlin's calm expression, he knew that this man must have an idea in his mind, so he took Zeng Muhan with one hand and Li Chi with the other, sat down on a big rock, and then asked, "How about you tell me more?!"

However, Gu Chuanlin only replied with three words: "Zang Haizhou."

"Burial Haizhou?!" Another Burial Haizhou? !

Li Chi stroked his chin and thought carefully for a moment. After thinking it over, he found that the Zanghaizhou was indeed the best choice to take over the entire Hengtianling Mountains.

The revival of Hengtianling will only take a hundred years. Occupying Hengtianling is equivalent to taking control of Shuo, Qi, and Hui. Rather than waiting until then to compete with other sects, it is better to strike first.

Rebuilding Hengtianling requires not only strength but also strong financial resources, and only the three first-level sects can do this.

Twenty-Nine Yue had taken over the Juyun Sect thirty years ago and established the Jiangzhou branch, so it would not be appropriate for him to occupy other territories in the past hundred years.

Although Mingyuejian has no branches and has never taken over any large forces, it has the most bases among all the sects and is the most well-informed.

However, Zanghaizhou has always lived on the Jiyou Sea and has never set up any branches or bases on the mainland. Therefore, even if it wants to occupy the entire Hengtianling, no other sects will raise any objections.

Hu Di seemed to have discovered the key point, and took out his fan and waved it vigorously a few times, "Zang Haizhou is indeed the most suitable candidate. However, they have always been aloof and noble, and only like places with water. I don't know if they are willing to take over this place."

Furukawa Lin: "I'll let them take it."

Seeing that Gu Chuanlin looked confident, Li Chi stretched out his fingers and stroked the red coral bracelet produced by Zang Haizhou on his wrist, thinking to himself: This man must be having an affair with Zang Haizhou.

At this moment, Zeng Muhan, the chief disciple of Mingyuejian, was confused.

Although he knew that his junior brother woke up at the top of Feitian Peak, he couldn't understand how the situation had developed to the point where Zang Haizhou had to take over Hengtianling.

He couldn't figure out the logical relationship, nor could he keep up with the thoughts of the three people around him. He just felt his head getting bigger and bigger, and there were more and more questions in his mind. If no one helped him sort out the true meaning, he might become depressed.

So, Zeng Muchan loosened his tightly clenched fists and finally made up his mind to speak: "I have a question."

"I see." Hu Di glanced at him and waved his fan. "After all, the less you know, the more questions you naturally have."
