Hearing words.

Zhou Mubai shook his head.

"Although the corpse tide entrenched on Lotus Island now is not very powerful, the Shenjue Zhenren who is lurking in the dark is a big trouble. In addition, we don't know if Shenjue Zhenren has any help left.

It is not a good idea to rashly attack Lotus Island."

Chen Daoxuan frowned and said, "But according to our last investigation, there should be only two purple mansion zombies in Lotus Island, and three purple mansion early stage zombies."

“It’s not that simple,”

Zhou Mubai walked and said, "Did you find it? The three early stage zombies in the Purple Mansion were all monks from the Wu and Zhao families."

"You mean..."

Chen Daoxuan was suddenly shocked.

You should know that there are no cultivators from the Purple Mansion in the Wu family and the Zhao family. In other words, the two early zombies in the Purple Mansion were promoted to the Purple Mansion's combat power after their death.

But how long have they died?

Even the longest-time monk of the Wu family has only been dead for several months, and the Zhao family has just died shortly afterwards!

In such a short time, the body of a foundation-building monk was forcibly refined into a purple mansion zombie, which means that Shen Jue Zhenren can mass-produce the Purple Mansion combat power.

Thinking of this.

Chen Daoxuan felt creepy all over.

Qianyuan Sword Sect wants the monks of Guang'an Mansion to lure out Shen Jue Zhenren, which may be the rhythm of the entire monks of Guang'an Mansion to destroy all!

For this situation.

Of course, the monks of Guang'an Prefecture were unwilling to act as the pioneer.

So the Zhou family thought of was to withdraw all the monks who were close to Guang'an Prefecture in Lotus Island.

Fortunately, the living people of these islands are all casual cultivators and children of small families, and there are very few spiritual veins.

It's just that there are many mortals.

In order to transport these mortals, the Zhou family and the Yang family were exhausted, and they transferred these people to the spiritual veins within thousands of miles of Lingbei Island.

Transfer these mortals and low-level monks.

Zhou Mubai will go to Wu on Lianhu Island and build several solid defense lines on several islands of Zhou and the two families to prevent the tide of corpse spreading to Guang'an Prefecture.

This way.

Feeling the pressure exerted by Guang'an Prefecture, the tide of corpse may be spreading in the opposite direction of Guang'an Prefecture.

The opposite direction from Lianhua Island to Guang'an Prefecture is the direction of Cangzhou Immortal City.

There... is the first family in Cangzhou and the Ye family.

This is also the real plan of the Guang'an Prefecture coalition forces - the disaster to the east.

As for whether the Ye family chooses to block the corpse tide like Guang'an Mansion or directly send monks to wipe out it, it has nothing to do with Guang'an Mansion.

Zhou Mubai just needs to firmly guard the Guang'an Mansion defense line.

As for the Ye family's disaster, Zhou Mubai had too late to applaud, so how could he send a army of monks to help them?

Moreover, when the Ye family was in trouble, Zhou Mubai did not believe that Qianyuan Sword Sect would remain indifferent.

Hearing this explanation, Chen Daoxuan and Zhou Mubai looked at each other and smiled.

There are too many enemies in the Ye family.

The Zhou family and the Ye family have a grudge, the Chen family and the Ye family, and the Yang family are the same.

In Cangzhou, perhaps there are not many families who have no grudges with the Ye family.

......

The days to come.

Chen Daoxuan selected the soldiers from the Western Defense Zone and then brought these soldiers back to Sequoia Island.

This time, in order to support the Western Defense Zone, the Zhou family seconded a total of ten Lingxu battleships.

now.

Each Lingxu warship carries one hundred foundation-building monks.

Added up.

There were a total of 1,000 foundation-building monks stationed in the Western Defense Zone, which did not include ordinary soldiers in the Qi Refining Stage.

There are nearly 100,000 monks in the entire Western defense zone.

This is just the smallest defense zone.

There was no way. In order to deal with the corpse tide and the true man of Shenjue, the monks in Guang'an Mansion had to unite.

This is just a transfer from the monks.

You should know that behind every monk, there are a large group of mortals serving him.

This is basically the case whether it is a family monk or a casual cultivator.

Behind the clan monks, there are naturally an extremely large number of clan members.

Behind the casual cultivators, there are also a large number of slaves.

Even these slaves would build cities and reproduce offspring under the protection of casual cultivators.

After several generations of reproduction, the descendants of slaves will generally no longer have the status of slaves and will automatically become ordinary civilians.

By then.

These civilians may embark on the path of cultivation under the guidance of casual cultivators.

This is also the biggest source of Wanxinghai scattered cultivators.

Family monks use bloodlines as a bond to reproduce offspring and cultivate monks.

The advantage of doing this is that the clan and people are united and have extremely strong centripetal force.

The casual cultivator supports himself as ordinary civilians or slaves.

It is possible that before his death, he will accept several disciples and pass them down.

However, because there is not much deeper relationship between disciples, they often become passers-by in the future.

If the casual cultivator who left behind the inheritance was powerful enough, such as the Taoist tradition left by a Mahayana true immortal, it would be different.

Such inheritance will often eventually evolve into a sect.

Instead of disappearing after one or two generations.

Of course, in the world of immortal cultivation, there are many people who have declined and finally disappeared.

For example, Qianyuan Sword Sect is the Taoist tradition left by a Mahayana true immortal, and then gradually developed to this point today.

There are also powerful families in the immortal cultivation family, who are not weaker than sects at all.

Actually in this world.

No matter which kind of cultivation force it is, it has its own advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage of a family's cultivation force is that its clan members are united enough, and the disadvantage is that they are inevitably cherished.

However, the sect's cultivation power is much tolerant than the family.

As long as they are talented immortals within the sphere of direct influence, regardless of their bloodline, they will be trained in the sect before a certain age.

In this way.

In terms of the choice of disciples, they are born much broader than their family power.

In addition, their inheritance is not weak, generally speaking, the sect forces in the immortal cultivation world are larger than the family forces.

For example, Qianyuan Sword Sect, Xuanyang Sect, Qinghui Dao Sect, Qianji Hall, etc.

However, the sect power has its disadvantages when it develops to the future, that is, the system is imperfect and can only grow to a certain extent, and then it has to use family forces to rule its territory.

In this way, it will inevitably lead to instability in rule.

Although Qianyuan Sword Sect has extremely strong control over the Wanxinghai, it is under the premise that it has an unparalleled momentum.

When the Qianyuan Sword Sect shows a slight decline, the major families in the Wanxinghai will inevitably violate its laws.

Not only Wanxinghai, but also the family forces under other sects in Xianyunzhou are basically the same.

Some might say it.

Since this is the case, why not completely break the family system and incorporate the entire territory into the sect's rule?

I can only say that this idea is beautiful, but it is actually impossible to do it.

This world is somewhat similar to the ancient society in Chen Daoxuan's previous life, but it is completely different inside.

The biggest difference is that this world is a world where great power belongs to itself.
