Chapter 695: Calculation

Half a year later, the battle in Chen State finally ended; the various cultivation markets and spiritual vein cave dwellings of the Shangling Sect, almost all that were known, had all been uprooted.

All of them fell into the hands of the coalition army.

The world-shocking battle half a year ago, and the pursuit after the battle, were also very dangerous; after all, it was a trapped beast fighting. After the pursuit, three of the Shangling Sect's seven Golden Core cultivators were killed by the coalition army, and the remaining four were all injured, with one even severely wounded; it is estimated that even if he recovers in the future, there is no possibility of rising.

As for the other Purple Mansion cultivators who escaped, only ten or twenty remained; as for the Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining cultivators, they could not be counted.

After all, as the hegemon of Chen State, the Shangling Sect had thousands of Foundation Establishment cultivators, and there were as many as 150,000 Qi Refining disciples.

It was impossible to kill them all; they could only be constantly wanted after the fact, making the entire Chen State's cultivators move.

Anyway, they would not be allowed to have any foothold in Chen State.

The Huangfu Family and the Danhe Sect simply did not care about those Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Shangling Sect, because no matter how many lived, there was no threat to the two major forces.

The ones who could truly threaten the two major forces were those Purple Mansion and Golden Core cultivators who escaped.

Unfortunately, they could not hunt down all the experts of these two levels of the Shangling Sect, which still had some influence; after all, these remnants of the Shangling Sect still had the strength to take revenge.

But the coalition army's pursuit had also done its best, killing more than twenty Purple Mansion and three Golden Core cultivators, which also caused them heavy losses.

Just the deaths alone were two Golden Core cultivators, and no fewer than three were severely wounded, while for the Purple Mansion stage, the deaths were even more; even if they could not compare to the Shangling Sect, there were about ten.

Not to mention both sides suffering, but the Huangfu Family and the Danhe Sect were not having an easy time either; their strength had dropped by at least 20%.

Fortunately, they had taken down the Shangling Sect, and those disciples who fled temporarily became stray dogs, and it would be difficult for them to return to Chen State.

The territory of the Shangling Sect also fell into their hands; as long as it was a few hundred years, both families believed that their strength would rise to a higher level.

After all, the Shangling Sect was too wealthy, occupying half of Chen State's revenue all year round; one can imagine that even in the treasury, there were not many things.

However, the true revenue was the various spiritual veins and mineral veins that the Shangling Sect originally occupied, and the Shangling Sect even had a small spirit stone vein, which was a spirit stone vein that could mine 8 million spirit stones a year.

Dividing it up, they could also obtain 3 million spirit stones every year, not to mention that there were many mineral veins, such as the Cold Jade Mine, or the Red Flame Iron Mine, and the Profound Yin Jade Marrow and Profound Yang Warm Jade, all of which were associated with these mineral veins.

The Shangling Sect occupied these mineral veins in the past, and could pick one or two pieces every few decades to give to the sect's Foundation Establishment cultivators to assist them in opening the Purple Mansion.

It can be said that the Shangling Sect had never lacked Purple Mansion cultivators, which came from here.

The Huangfu Family and the Danhe Sect had also always coveted these, but unfortunately, they could only purchase the treasures to open the Purple Mansion from the outside world.

And now, after occupying these mineral veins, it would be easier for them to give birth to Purple Mansion cultivators in the future.

This was the greatest harvest.

Treasures like Profound Yang Warm Jade, although the price is not expensive, less than 100,000, but many times, you simply have no channels to purchase them; which force is not scarce of these treasures that assist in opening the Purple Mansion?

Any sect force rarely takes them out.

"Fellow Daoist Lu! We have also completely withdrawn from what belongs to your Zixiao Sect; you can go and receive it slowly."

In half a year, they drove away all the Shangling Sect, and the Huangfu Family and the Danhe Sect did not kill the donkey after the mill was finished; what they had discussed before, they had now brought out.

In reality, both sides indeed did not dare to swallow the benefits belonging to the Zixiao Sect.

After all, the losses of the two families in this battle were not light, especially the Huangfu Family, which originally had six Golden Core cultivators and now only had five left.

And the Huangfu Family's Family Head, Huangfu Quan, was also severely wounded and on the verge of death under the final explosion of that Golden Core seventh-layer cultivator of the Shangling Sect.

Although later, the Huangfu Family spent a lot of strength to save the former's life, the result was still not good; the injuries in his body could never recover, and even his cultivation regressed by two layers.

As for combat power, he could not even use martial arts, so how could they talk about combat power?

So theoretically, the Huangfu Family only had four Golden Core cultivators left, and the Danhe Sect was actually the same; originally, the Danhe Sect's strength was also weaker than the Huangfu Family's.

Both had six Golden Core cultivators, but in terms of quality, they were a bit worse; the Danhe Sect's six Golden Core cultivators only had one late-stage Golden Core.

This time, one Golden Core sixth-layer cultivator died, killed by the Shangling Sect's Sect Leader with the help of a fifth-grade spirit talisman; for the Danhe Sect, this was also a great loss.

After all, that person's aptitude was not bad, and there was a chance to reach the Golden Core peak in the future; as a result, this seed died, and the blow was not small.

However, now the Danhe Sect's theoretical strength is still above the Huangfu Family, but in terms of paper strength, whether it is the Danhe Sect or the Huangfu Family, they are all below the Zixiao Sect.

If it were before, the two families would have allied, and they would not care about the Zixiao Sect at all.

But after the Shangling Sect of Chen State was driven away, the relationship between the two families began to change; in these six months, in order to compete for more benefits, their faces suddenly changed a lot.

There were even several small conflicts.

So both families are now secretly winning over the Zixiao Sect.

It is not that the two families do not want to join forces to weed out the Zixiao Sect, but the Zixiao Sect itself only occupies one-fourth of the Shangling Sect's territory, and it is all bordering the demonic race; in the future, when the demonic race invades, the main attacks will all be on the territory received by the Zixiao Sect.

If they weeded out the Zixiao Sect, then they would have to face the demonic race directly.

Before, it was all the Shangling Sect and their subordinates; now, they want them to go, and neither family is willing.

In this great battle, the Shangling Sect is gone, and their losses are not small; when the time comes, when the demonic race launches a beast tide, I am afraid they cannot avoid being hurt again.

So neither family is willing, so they can only let the Zixiao Sect stand at the front, and naturally they will not weed out the Zixiao Sect.

In this way, it is awkward; the two families cannot work together as before, and for the sake of benefits, they start to conflict.

With their own thoughts, in dealing with the Zixiao Sect, they also softened.

All of this, Lu Qingshan saw in his eyes for half a year in Chen State, and he was also happy in his heart; the more the two families fight, the better it is for the Zixiao Sect.

As for taking over one-fourth of the Shangling Sect's territory and facing the beast tide directly, Lu Qingshan did not care; the beast tide still needs about eighty or ninety years.

With such a long time, the Zixiao Sect's strength will be even stronger; perhaps in this hundred years, the Zixiao Sect can also give birth to a few more Golden Core cultivators, who knows.

After all, the Zixiao Sect now has quite a few late-stage Purple Mansion cultivators, and even those at the eighth or ninth layer of the Purple Mansion are a full four.

These four all have the possibility of impacting the Golden Core in this hundred years. ===== CHAPTER 696 =====
