This time the Frozen Moon Cold River battle was like this. Si Han organized a sect alliance army of the top three grades, among which there were five or six first-grade sect masters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, no battle results were achieved, and he lost his bone dragon and returned injured. Lu Xingzhou felt that even if Gu Zhanting didn't take action behind the scenes, the Frost Nation would have to suffer a turmoil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Si Han cannot achieve the suppression power of the Great Gan Imperial Court over other sects, nor does he have the recognition of the Great Gan people for the Gu family's thousand-year rule. There are so many first-grade strong sects, why can you be the sovereign?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, if there is no one supporting behind the scenes, this kind of turmoil is not so easy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the Shadow Moon Sect is the strongest sect in the Frost Nation, and Si Han is at the peak of the first grade, a person extremely close to the super grade. The number of top three grade strong people in the sect is far more than others, and his prestige is extremely high, which allows him to knead various sects to establish a country under the name of \"fighting against the demon race together.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if others can take advantage of Si Han's injury to break through the royal court and kill Si Han, they can't suppress the entire Shadow Moon Sect, and why should other first-grade sects recognize you as the sovereign who takes advantage of others' danger?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without the super-grade strength to crush others upright, it is so awkward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as long as there is super-grade support behind the scenes, this kind of thing will be much simpler.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking advantage of Si Han's weakness at this time, Gu Zhanting only needs to send a royal super-grade to foster a puppet sect to suppress the Shadow Moon Sect, which has no leader; or choose a puppet within the Shadow Moon Sect to foster, letting him replace the position of the Shadow Moon Sect Master. This also disguisedly controls the Frost Nation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So we caught up?\" The two hovered high and looked down. The place where the murderous aura erupted was inside the Shadow Moon Sect, and no one attacked the Shadow Moon Royal City, which was still peaceful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's an internal turmoil.\" Lu Xingzhou said: \"Gu Zhanting chose a simpler way...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Tinglan said: \"How are you sure Gu Zhanting participated? Can't internal ambitious people do it spontaneously?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because if it was done internally, this kind of civil strife would inevitably require a long time to hook up with internal support. Otherwise, just taking advantage of Si Han's injury to suddenly rise up and kill him, what's the use? Will others recognize you as the Sect Master?\" Lu Xingzhou asked back: \"Do you think Si Han is so mediocre that his sect is widely hooked up by ambitious people and he is ignorant, and he still goes to the Frozen Moon Cold River for the expedition?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Tinglan shook her head. Si Han can be considered a hero, and the establishment of the Frost Nation was all done by him. Generally speaking, he would not be so mediocre.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It stands to reason that the vast majority of people in the sect support Si Han.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In addition, although Si Han returned without success this time, his own sect had no losses. The loss was just the bone dragon that Si Han had just obtained. This \"mistake\" was not enough to be overthrown by the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So being able to quickly suppress everyone and successfully foster a traitor to the top, only a super-grade participation can do it. If it's not Gu Zhanting making trouble, who is it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While talking, the two had already hovered outside the Shadow Moon Sect's mountain protection array.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The situation inside the Shadow Moon Sect was also clearly reflected in their eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In front of the Sect Master's hall, three or four corpses were already lying. Si Han stood outside the hall door and said in a hoarse voice: \"Disaster starts from the wall, making the sect's strong people wither. Is this the result you are pursuing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes opposite stroked his beard and sneered: \"They died for you. If you don't covet power and honestly give up the position, wouldn't everyone be happy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And then? Hand over the power of the Shadow Moon Sect and even the Frost Nation to outsiders?\" Si Han sneered at the black-robed man behind the other party: \"Old Mr. Gu, half of your body has entered the soil, you don't pursue your immortality, but come to another country to mix in secular power. Is this your Gu family's cultivation?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man of the Gu family was expressionless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to Gu Zhanting's arrangement, this was his last link, and its significance to him was mainly to seize the bone dragon. Gu Zhanting sold the bone dragon to Si Han, precisely to attract his own old zombie to be willing to take action and get involved in such broken things afterwards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, when he came to see, Si Han's bone dragon was gone. It is said that after he left, the glacier had a spatial chaos, and the bone dragon was seized by Ji Wenchuan in the chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man of the Gu family simply didn't know what the significance of his appearance on the glacier and here was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since he was here, Gu Zhanting's plan to foster a puppet in the Frost Nation was also useful, so he had to finish it first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gorgeous middle-aged man who confronted Si Han sneered: \"What is an outsider? Si Han, are you crazy? You call anyone you catch. This is Guest Minister Mr. Gu whom I hired.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Si Han: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old Gu family zombie hadn't appeared in the world for decades, and others really didn't know him. The other party insisted that this was just a guest minister he hired, and he had no choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gorgeous middle-aged man said again: \"It's fine if you are incompetent, but this time you acted recklessly and offended both the demon race and the Tianyao Holy Land. If these two sides fight over, it will be a disaster for our Frost Nation and the Shadow Moon Sect. Ask everyone, don't you, Si Han, need to be responsible for this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind him, besides the old Gu family man, there were several familiar faces that Lu Xingzhou had seen at the Frozen Moon Cold River, who were the sect master and high-level members of the Snow Listening Pavilion, another first-grade strong sect in the Frost Nation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the Snow Listening Pavilion, overthrowing the capable Si Han and replacing him with a puppet straw bag as the Shadow Moon Sect Master would also have its own benefits in the future. As for the so-called old Gu family zombie, how many more days could he stay here? Sooner or later, he would have to go back to retreat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that time, how the situation in the Frost Nation would be, it was hard to say...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the gorgeous middle-aged man say this, the Snow Listening Pavilion Master responded: \"Not bad, Sovereign Si, this time you are like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, making a big mistake. If you don't calm the anger of the Demon Emperor and the Tianyao Holy Master, it will be very unfavorable to our Frost Nation.\" Si Han said coldly: \"What kind of responsibility do you need? Send me to the demon race to apologize?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course we won't kneel to the demon race, but Sovereign Si should apologize to the Tianyao Holy Land! At that time, the Tianyao Holy Land will come forward to deal with the demon race.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Si Han smiled: \"I have already written to the Tianyao Holy Master to apologize, so can you all go back?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gorgeous middle-aged man said: \"If you confess your guilt and step down, everything is easy to talk about. If you are obsessed, don't blame me for not thinking about the brotherhood of fellow disciples.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Si Han turned his head to look. Most of the high-level members of his own sect were angry and unconvinced, and most of them were on his side. But just now, when they took action, they found that the other party had a super-grade, and several hot-tempered ones died on the spot as soon as they took action, so the rest dared to be angry but dared not speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, Si Han felt that if everyone worked together to open the array, the old Gu family zombie might not be able to get any good. He was nearing the end of his life and wanted to go to the next level, so he would definitely not be willing to be injured here. Therefore, as long as they dared to fight, they could beat the other party back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it would inevitably cause heavy losses to his own people, and instead be considered \"coveting power and ignoring the life and death of the sect.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had another way out, so it wasn't that he couldn't \"step down.\" As long as he kept the hearts of the people, he could come back to settle accounts after the old Gu family zombie left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only problem was that even if he wanted to step down and leave, he would inevitably be intercepted and killed on the way, and it would be difficult to leave alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sect Master!\" A loyal elder behind him said in a low voice: \"Don't retreat! Let's fight them!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With someone leading, the other high-level members who dared to be angry but dared not speak were also aroused: \"Not bad, let's fight! A super-grade who is about to die, what is there to show off! Gu Zhanting doesn't dare to break into our array himself, does he dare to be injured again!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old Gu family man sneered: \"Then you see if I dare.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the sound of his voice, he flipped his wrist, and the fierce purple qi of the Imperial Extreme Shocking World Scripture reappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a \"bang,\" Si Han was the arrowhead, and a group of Shadow Moon Sect high-level members formed an array, resisting the old Gu family man's attack together. Many people had blood spilling from the corners of their mouths, but none of them gave up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is why Gu Zhanting wants to get rid of Si Han, this cohesion is not easy.\" Lu Xingzhou, who had been peeping for a long time, finally spoke: \"Then what about you? If you sit by and watch Si Han finish, and foster another puppet, the effect is also very good. Saving Si Han can indeed make him grateful, but the gratitude of such a hero sovereign may not be of any use. When the benefits reach the end, he may still turn his face.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Tinglan smiled slightly: \"I am not Gu Zhanting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou knew she tended to save Si Han, but still advised: \"But the disadvantages really outweigh the advantages.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Some things... why only talk about pros and cons?\" Ye Tinglan touched his head: \"You are no longer a demonic disciple, should Mr. give you another moral lesson?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou curled his lips: \"That's Mr. Meng's course, not yours.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Tinglan had already fallen downwards, and the mountain protection array was like nothing to her. That was because she had already broken the weak point of the array during the long observation, and taking advantage of no one presiding, she broke through directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou sighed, reached out and touched the position where she had just touched his head, and whispered to himself: \"Who doesn't know how to respect heroes... but this has a price. Forget it, I used to wipe your sister's butt, now I'm ready to wipe your butt.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bang!\" Ye Tinglan waved her hand to shake away the old Gu family man's purple qi, and the old Gu family man staggered back, the whole hall rumbling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, the people of the Snow Listening Pavilion were already about to go up to participate in the war. Seeing this change, their faces all changed: \"Heaven... Tianyao Holy Master...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Si Han stood behind Ye Tinglan, his expression also a bit complicated: \"I have seen True Person Tinglan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Tinglan's reaction was: \"Keep your voices down.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if my cultivation is low, I can still hear this, why bother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Tinglan said lightly: \"Sovereign Si's apology, this seat has received. As for how to express this apology, Sovereign Si, give this seat an explanation?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Si Han glanced at the gorgeous middle-aged man with a livid face in front of him and smiled: \"Then please enter the hall to talk in detail, how about it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Tinglan nodded slightly: \"Lead the way.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Si Han waved his hand: \"What are you all stunned for! Get the best wine for me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone turned and entered the hall, as if the gorgeous middle-aged man, the old Gu family man, and the Snow Listening Pavilion crowd did not exist at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as Ye Tinglan is here, it is suppressing a country, and no insect can make a sound, even the super-grade old Gu family man is no exception.\u003C\u002Fp>",2332,"2026-06-18T01:46:10.354Z","2026-06-18T03:18:02.290Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","a49e9e61f789ff9ecf825071d5b6cf684ed2b98fd250ffab6cccd648bedbea06","the-grain-of-mountains-and-rivers-chapter-220","the-grain-of-mountains-and-rivers-chapter-218",325,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmountains-and-rivers-of-the-imperial-granary-cover.jpg"]
