Chapter 137: Consuming Each Other

Receiving the heaven and earth gift, everyone was refreshed. This benefit was much more than what was recorded in the palace, and there would be Heavenly Merit points later, which was another benefit.

The harvest of this battle alone pushed the cultivation of the three forward by a large margin, saving several years of hard cultivation or nourishment.

Although Wei Yuan didn't get direct benefits, the nourishment of Azure Void improved, the Wood-Generating Profound power increased slightly, the Ten Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains received feedback, and the tender sprout on the top of Yushan grew a little bit taller, as if a second leaf was being conceived.

Wei Yuan felt deeply that the number of ordinary cultivator troops was insufficient. At the beginning of the pioneering, there were seven hundred cultivators, but in less than three days, they were beaten down to just over a hundred. Thinking of this, Wei Yuan thought of Xu Wenwu, and then realized that this guy didn't know where he had run off to.

At this very moment, Xu Wenwu was still writing furiously in the small house. The small house formed its own world, completely unaware that a battle had been fought outside, and that a Great Shaman had fallen.

In the western part of Ningzhou, a flying boat was flying slowly, with the mark of the Grand Primordial Palace on it. But several cultivators suddenly appeared in front, intercepting the flying boat.

A middle-aged cultivator came to the deck, bowed and said: "This is a flying boat of the Grand Primordial Palace. You fellow Daoists blocked the road, I don't know what for?"

A veteran cultivator opposite bowed and said: "We are from the Qin Sword Sect. We came here to tell you that the front is our sect's mountain gate, which has now been closed. Please detour or return directly."

The middle-aged cultivator frowned and said: "I fly this route every month, how come I've never heard of closing the mountain gate? I have an urgent mission now, you guys move aside quickly. Otherwise, if I report to the top, your tiny Qin Sword Sect probably won't be able to bear it!"

"Good! Since the Grand Primordial Palace acts so domineeringly, then we won't meddle in other people's business." The several blocking cultivators exchanged a hidden glance and moved aside.

The flying boat continued to move forward, but the middle-aged cultivator became more and more uneasy. Suddenly, two flying boats rushed out from the clouds above, without any marks at all, rushing directly toward the Grand Primordial Palace's flying boat!

The middle-aged cultivator was startled and immediately sounded the alarm.

The two flying boats that appeared later were extremely fast, quickly catching up to the Grand Primordial Palace's flying boat, and then a piece of crossbow magic treasure was shot over.

The Grand Primordial Palace's flying boat fought back desperately, but it was a cargo flying boat itself, not fast, and not as prepared as the opponent, so it fell into a disadvantage in the blink of an eye, and was then leaned on by the enemy flying boat and firmly bound.

The middle-aged cultivator had no choice but to signal surrender.

A moment later, the three flying boats sailed away, leaving the middle-aged cultivator and dozens of others behind, firmly bound and with their sea of consciousness and Dao power sealed, abandoned in the wilderness.

The middle-aged cultivator was both ashamed and angry. He was originally transporting supplies to the Grand Primordial Palace industries in various places in Ningxi, but he had temporarily received a batch of supplies before departure, which were originally intended to be sent to a stronghold west of Hanyang Pass, but he didn't expect such an accident on the way.

Fortunately, the people who hijacked the flying boat had no intention of harming anyone's life, so they were able to pick up their lives.

Hanyang Pass.

At this time, there were many more guards on the pass than usual, and many people gathered at the west-facing city gate, lining up in long queues. The city gate guards questioned everyone leaving the city in detail, and most merchant teams were not allowed to leave the city to go west, having to return the same way.

Hanyang Pass Garrison Mansion, at this time a burly general was sitting in the middle, with a row of generals sitting on the right, among whom the leader was imposing, murderous, and was also a Dharma Form high-level cultivator.

On the left sat only two Daoists, one man and one woman, who were True Lord Fenhai and True Lord Lanhua.

The general leading the right side slapped the table hard and said angrily: "You two are entangled like this, don't you put my Garrison Mansion in your eyes?"

True Lord Fenhai didn't even lift his eyelids and said indifferently: "Indeed, I didn't put it in my eyes, so what?"

The general was furious, stood up, and drank: "Don't think your Dao method is very powerful; no matter how powerful it is, this general is not afraid!"

True Lord Lanhua sneered: "I don't care if you are afraid or not, anyway, you can't beat me."

The general's face was livid, and he said slowly: "I was just careless for a moment!" "Even if you weren't careless, you would still be a loser; you would be a loser no matter how many more battles you fight. If you don't intend to want face, then I can point out a few moves for you on behalf of your master."

At this time, the general in the middle finally lifted his eyelids, and divine light flowed in his eyes in an instant, like a long knife and a big axe!

He stared at True Lord Lanhua for a moment, then restrained the divine light, and said: "The two of you have been theorizing here for more than a day. This governor has already said that large-scale cargo is not allowed to leave the pass to go west. This order cannot be changed. Why do you have to be entangled?"

Fenhai said: "The old Daoist feels that this order is inappropriate, so I want to theorize clearly. Governor Xu is famous, and the old Daoist probably won't win if I fight you, but it's also hard to lose if I want to. So we might as well continue theorizing here until there is a conclusion."

Governor Xu's face was gloomy, and he said slowly: "It won't be too late for us to spar after the two adults in the sky have a result, right? Fighting now really makes no sense."

Fenhai nodded: "The old Daoist also feels so, so it's better to avoid fighting if possible. Isn't it quite good for us to theorize like this every day? If Governor Xu insists on weighing the old Daoist's weight, then the old Daoist can also accompany you."

Governor Xu felt a headache.

The two sides had been deadlocked like this for two full days. The day before, Fenhai and Lanhua wanted to leave the pass to go west, but were stopped by the soldiers guarding the pass, so the two made a scene at the Governor's Mansion, and conveniently injured dozens of city gate guards.

Xu Zhongxing, the governor of Hanyang Pass, achieved Dharma Form two hundred years ago and had been fighting against the Shaman tribe on the border for many years; his cultivation and combat power were first-class figures. In comparison, Fenhai was slightly inferior. He knew something was wrong as soon as he heard it; could a Dharma Form True Person leaving the pass be stopped by soldiers guarding the pass?

The meeting between the two sides was naturally not in agreement, so they secretly took action to compete.

Xu Zhongxing was slightly better, but had no certainty of winning. Fenhai's Heavenly Fire was very insidious, able to burn and erode Dao power, and if he fought him for a long time, his Dao power would be permanently damaged, although not much, but it was exceptionally annoying.

!.

So after testing, Xu Zhongxing didn't want to fight Fenhai again unless it was a last resort.

And Fenhai saw that he couldn't beat Xu Zhongxing, so he changed his strategy, turning to pull skin with Xu Zhongxing. The general sitting at the head of the left side was named Fan Donghe; he had achieved Dharma Form for less than fifty years, but he was not Lanhua's opponent.

Both sides had two Dharma Forms, so it became a deadlock. The two sides pulled skin from the first day until after midnight before dispersing, during which they took action twice, both of which were difficult to distinguish.

As a result, the chickens hadn't even called today, and Xu Zhongxing and Fan Donghe's beds were just getting warm, when Fenhai and Lanhua came to the door again. As long as Xu Zhongxing didn't show up, the two old Daoists were very arrogant and domineering; if the soldiers in the Garrison Mansion were slightly dissatisfied with their answers, they would injure more than a dozen people again.

Fan Donghe arrived first, and before he could say three sentences, he was framed by Fenhai for several crimes, and they directly took action. True Lord Lanhua pulled the frame from the side, only pulling Fan Donghe.

If Xu Zhongxing hadn't arrived in time, Fan Donghe would have been seriously injured and unable to get up.

At this point, Xu Zhongxing finally understood that Fenhai and Lanhua were here to find trouble, so he had to personally suppress the scene. Thus, the two sides pulled skin from before the chickens got up, and in the blink of an eye, they pulled until dusk, a full day, and Xu Zhongxing couldn't handle a single official document.

These two Daoists sat in the Governor's Mansion like this, and the entire Governor's Mansion was paralyzed. In the blink of an eye, a high stack of official documents piled up on Xu Zhongxing's table, and he couldn't read a single one. As long as he took an official document, Fenhai would take action to compete in Dao power.

How could ordinary official documents withstand the competition of two great True Lords? Naturally, they turned to ashes.

The Governor's Mansion was paralyzed, and the troop movements within a thousand li of Hanyang Pass were all stagnant, and the processing of various affairs was much slower. The Xu family had originally managed this place like an iron bucket, but as a result, many loopholes appeared.

At this time, Xu Zhongxing was at his wit's end. If he let Fan Donghe leave to handle official business on his behalf, then Fenhai and Lanhua would definitely take the opportunity to besiege him, and he might be seriously injured if he was careless. To drive the two away, at least one more Dharma Form was needed, but the Xu family was short of manpower now, and all Dharma Forms had heavy responsibilities, so no one could be spared for a while.

Xu Zhongxing thought about it, and the only way was to find someone to replace himself and consume with these two old Daoists. And there was no suitable candidate at the moment, so he could only endure it forcibly, and secretly vowed in his heart: Let's see how long you can be rampant!

It was just that vowing was vowing, Xu Zhongxing knew deeply that he was the one who couldn't afford to consume. The two Daoists were idle clouds and wild cranes, and to put it bluntly, they had no proper business all day, but he was in charge of border military affairs and had to coordinate the blockade and interception of the broken domain along the entire border.

He had heavy responsibilities, how could he consume with two idle people all day? But Fenhai was not an ordinary person; if it weren't for a high-level cultivator like Xu Zhongxing who had cultivated to the late stage and was also powerful in fighting, how many people could suppress him? Xu Zhongxing thought for two full days and didn't come up with a countermeasure.
