Fortunately, the little loli finally remembered the elder Xiong Xianlai and said softly to Zhang Xu.

Xiong Xian? Why is he here?

Zhang Xu jumped out of the Eagle's Nest with doubts.

"Meet the leader!" Looking at the young leader in front of him, Xiong Xian could see from Zhang Xu's spiritual power fluctuations that Zhang Xu had indeed established a foundation.

"Hello Elder Xiong." Zhang Xu said with a smile. Although he was a little complaining about Xiong Xian and Zhu Kun, complaining that they ignored the Iron Sword Sect. However, Zhang Xu was not a narrow-minded person, and he could understand Xiong Xian and Zhu Kun's helplessness to run for the spirit stone. Moreover, Xiong Xian and Zhu Kun are both fighting powers at the peak of foundation building, and they are the old people of the Iron Sword Sect. From any aspect, Zhang Xu has to win over.

"Congratulations to the head of the sect for winning the Gushan Spirit Land and successfully building the foundation!" Xiong Xian said again. Although he was quite disdainful of Zhang Xu's mediocre qualifications and low cultivation, now that Zhang Xu has captured the Gushan Spirit Land and successfully building the foundation, everything he has done has forced him to look at him with admiration.

The Feihuang Realm has always regarded strength as the most respect, and Xiong Xian's behavior has always been to enhance his strength and form a pill as soon as possible to assist the rise of the Iron Sword Sect. Xiong Xian has always complained about Zhang Xu's absurd behavior of accepting casual cultivators, believing that Zhang Xu ruined the reputation of the Iron Sword Sect in order to earn the entry fee of the casual cultivator.

Later, the Iron Sword Gate was used by the assassin, causing the two major golden elixirs to be injured, and he was dissatisfied with Zhang Xu, believing that Zhang Xu pushed the Iron Sword Gate to the edge of destruction.

But now, looking at the more than 20 eagle nests standing on the top of the peak, Xiong Xian suddenly understood Zhang Xu's actions. Because he knew that it was impossible for him and Zhu Kun to achieve Zhang Xu's current achievements. Not to mention anything else, the Eagle King who formed a demon pill alone was not something he and Zhu Kun could handle.

The army of thousands of monks in the mountains was struggling and was unable to conquer the demon snake's nest. Zhang Xu wiped out the Eagle King and occupied the Gushan Spirit Land with just two hundred cultivators.

Although the number of eagles is far from comparable to that of monsters in the mountains and forests, Zhang Xu's achievements are obvious if compared with each other.

Even Li Pingbo cannot ignore the achievements of leading an army to capture Gushan Lingdi.

And all this is brought by the young leader in front of you!

The respectful attitude Xiong Xian showed also made Zhang Xu quite satisfied, and he smiled and said, "Elder Xiong, if you don't fight with monsters in the mountains and forests, why did you run to my lonely mountain?"

"I was fighting against monsters in the mountains and forests, but I felt uneasy in my heart. I was worried that the leader would encounter danger now, so I took a leave to take a look, but I didn't expect that the leader would successfully conquer Gushan." Xiong Xian said truthfully.

"Haha, just a lonely mountain and just a few dozen eagles, how can we block the power of our leader's military power!" Zhang Xu smiled, but he never mentioned that there were only fifty monks who had lost their troops.

After a conversation, Xiong Xian's heart was completely relieved and decided to return to the forest overnight despite Zhang Xu's attempt.

Zhang Xu couldn't help but send Xiong Xian to the foot of the mountain with the little loli, and smiled bitterly as Xiong Xian left.

When Xiong Xian came, the situation on Gushan could not be concealed. Maybe he would receive Li Pingbo's instructions soon, and he would probably not have much time to spend leisurely days.

......

On the day Xiong Xian left, the storm suddenly changed in the mountains and forests.

The demon snake king who had recovered his wounds and grew wings came back and led the monsters to launch a fierce attack on the monks who were attacking the mountains and forests.

In one day, ten of more than twenty clearance teams were attacked by monsters, and the monks were killed and injured.

In addition to the Jindan stage monks who formed the demon elixir, where is the ordinary monks his opponent? The two Jindan cultivators in the Chamber of Commerce's army, Li Pingbo, who was less injured, has recovered, but the Lushanhe who was pierced his lungs, has not yet recovered completely.

But Li Pingbo alone can resist the Demon Snake King, but he cannot completely defeat it. The Demon Snake King with two wings is too fast, and it is too difficult for Li Pingbo to catch up and kill it.

The Demon Snake King did not fight with Li Pingbo at all, but instead attacked the monks' team everywhere.

During one day, the monks were called everywhere, and the monks who were clearing out the mountains and forests were attacked one after another and suffered heavy casualties. Li Pingbo was exhausted by himself. Often when he arrived at the site of the accident, the monks had been killed and injured by the demon snake and many monsters.

Originally, he thought that the demon snake's wings were cut off and seriously injured, so Li Pingbo made the decision to divide the troops and attack. Unexpectedly, this would make the troops extremely dispersed, and he could not resist the reorganized army of monsters.

In desperation, Li Pingbo urgently ordered the withdrawal of all the monks outside and personally dispatched to retreat with the monks.

However, in just one day's effort, less than 3,000 monks successfully withdrew less than 3,000 monks, and more than 1,000 monks died in the mountains.

A crushing defeat, a real crushing defeat!

In the camp, Li Pingbo frowned. He never expected that the army of two large Jindans, which had more than 5,000 cultivators, would be in the current situation.

At present, more than 3,000 cultivators gathered together, and with the strict cooperation of the magic array and a large number of magic weapons, it was no problem to defend. However, it was difficult to make progress when morale fell. Li Pingbo knew that he could not suppress the Demon Snake King at all, and could not suppress the Demon Snake King, so he could not continue to march into the mountains because he had to beware of the Demon Snake King's sneak attack at all times.

Therefore, I am afraid that Lushanhe's injuries will not be able to continue to advance until they completely improve.

But it is not safe to stay here. There are monsters peeking around the mountains and forests, so it is difficult to find food and drink.

At this moment, Li Pingbo was really at a loss.

In this situation, Xiong Xian returned to the camp. What shocked him the most was not the defeat, but the injury of his junior brother Zhu Kun.

A team of monks was attacked, and Zhu Kun followed the rescue team to rescue him, and was intercepted by the demon snake king.

More than twenty cultivators in the late stage of foundation building were killed or injured by the siege of the demon beast army led by the demon snake king, and Zhu Kun also lost one of his arms. Fortunately, Li Pingbo led his men to fight against the demon snake king in time, and Zhu Kun and others escaped.

"Junior brother!" Xiong Xian couldn't help crying as he looked weak on the ground.

"Senior brother, don't be sad. I'm fine. The injury will be healed in no time. You can hold a sword with one hand." Zhu Kun comforted with a smile.

Xiong Xian was even more sad. He could hold a sword with one hand, but if he lost an arm, Zhu Kun might never have hope of tying the pill in his life!

"Junior brother, please rest here first. I'll go to meet the shopkeeper." After being sad for a while, Xiong Xian stood up.

"Senior brother, why do you do when you meet the shopkeeper?" Zhu Kun asked hurriedly.

"The little master and his team have already captured Gushan. I will report this to the shopkeeper and ask the shopkeeper to take people to Gushan to repair it."

After saying that, Xiong Xian walked towards Li Pingbo's tent, leaving only Zhu Kun with a shocked face.

For Li Pingbo, the current shopkeeper of the Wuzhou Chamber of Commerce, it is definitely the most difficult time.

The monks who failed to fight for the suppression were seriously injured and were always facing attacks from the beast army led by the demon snake king. The most important thing was that the light gate of the Feihuang Realm was destroyed and the material supplies for the support were cut off...

This army of more than 3,000 monks has become an isolated army. As their leader, Li Pingbo not only has to find ways to ensure everyone's lives, but also has to complete the pioneering mission of the Chamber of Commerce.

If the hunting in the beast spirit world fails, it will be a huge blow to the reputation of the Chamber of Commerce. As one grows and the other disappears, it will be even more difficult to suppress the Beast Control Sect and other sects.

"Don't worry, the shopkeeper is destroyed. Zhongzhou will definitely send people to help. The great wizard will be sent to lay the formation and establish the light wizard. We will soon contact Feihuangjie." Seeing Li Pingbo's anxiety around, the great wizard of Jindan Lu Shanhe comforted him.

Li Pingbo smiled bitterly. If Zhongzhou really waited for people to send people to rebuild the Light Sect and enter the beast spirit world, but he had not made any achievements, where should he put the face of his big shopkeeper? The status of the Wuzhou Chamber of Commerce will plummet and will never be valued by the Zhongzhou Federation of Commerce again.

At this moment, someone came down to report that the elder Xiong Xian of the Iron Sword Sect asked for a visit.

"Xiong Xian? What are he doing?" Li Pingbo was stunned for a moment, and ordered people to come in. Although the Iron Sword Sect is a declining sect, the two elders Xiong Xian and Zhu Kun are indeed very strong.

"Big shopkeeper, I'll report to you about Gushan." Xiong Xian directly expressed his purpose after seeing the ceremony.

Gushan? Li Pingbo remembered that he had sent Tiejianmen and others to conquer Gushan in order to punish Tiejianmen for the purpose of storing assassins.

The lonely mountain hangs deep in the grassland. It is impossible for the vast grassland to be without monsters. It will be difficult to deal with the strength of the Iron Sword Sect, and there will be heavy casualties. This is the punishment for the little master to act recklessly.

However, afterwards, Li Pingbo put this matter behind his mind. Compared with the attack on the beast spirit world, the Iron Sword Sect, which is less than 200 casual cultivators, is not worth his concern.

However, since Xiong Xian came to report this matter specifically, something must have happened. Li Pingbo suppressed his anxiety and listened patiently, and then he was shocked.

"You mean that the Iron Sword Sect has captured Gushan, and Gushan is a spiritual land?" Li Pingbo asked in surprise. Not all mountains are spiritual lands, most of the mountains are ordinary mountains, and only mountains with spiritual veins can be called spiritual land, and spiritual land is the foundation of a sect.

Since Gushan is a spiritual land, there must be powerful monsters on it. The Iron Sword Sect can defeat the monsters and seize Gushan, which really surprised Li Pingbo.

"Yes, but the Iron Sword Sect also suffered heavy casualties in the battle with the Eagle Eagle, and less than fifty of the two hundred disciples died." Xiong Xian said sadly.

"The big shopkeeper, now we have failed to explore and we can't stay here. Although the Gushan Mountain is not too big, it can be enough to accommodate thousands of monks. There are springs left on the mountain, and there are endless cattle, sheep and elk in the grassland. We can rest there temporarily and wait until we have rested and regained our strength to fight."

Gushan is a spiritual land and a good place for cultivation. But if Li Pingbo really takes the army of monks to Gushan, a group of people in the Iron Sword Sect need to make a living, and this Xiong Xian will naturally be clear.

But Xiong Xian knew better that the Iron Sword Sect would not be able to rise again without the support of the Chamber of Commerce. When the army was in desperate situation, it would definitely be praised by the Chamber of Commerce. If the Chamber of Commerce army was completely annihilated by the beast army in this mountain forest, how could the Iron Sword Sect survive alone?

This time, the beast spirit world's attack was a loss, and only the Iron Sword Gate captured a spiritual land. No matter how Iron Sword Gate was counted, it would be the first achievement. Then according to the chamber of commerce's advance reward, it would inevitably reward the Iron Sword Gate with a spiritual land afterwards, so the Iron Sword Gate had hope of rising.

Compared with the small profits in front of him, Xiong Xian naturally knew how to choose, which was why he came to give Li Pingbo a lonely mountain.

Sure enough, Li Pingbo was very moved after hearing Xiong Xian's words, but before he could speak, Lu Shanhe spoke first.

"The Gushan Mountain is a hundred miles inside the grassland. The grassland is in short supply of resources, so it seems that it is not suitable for attacking." Lu Shanhe frowned.

The reason why the army did not regard the direction of the grassland as its first choice for attack is that compared with the mountains and forests with many monsters and resources, the grassland is indeed very "barren".

"Haha, Elder Lu is too worried. The grassland is naturally barren, but Gushan is a spiritual land, and the places with spiritual veins will not be too bad. Now we are trapped in all directions of monsters, so why not go to Gushan first. After Elder Lu, you recover from the injuries, we will fight back again and eliminate the demon snake and completely occupy this mountain forest!" Li Pingbo said with a smile.

Seeing Li Pingbo like this, Lu Shanhe had nothing to say. After all, Li Pingbo was the host of this hunt, and Lu Shanhe himself was just a foreign aid.

Of course, there is another factor in Li Pingbo's decision, but it is difficult to say. Conquests in other worlds are never a matter of overnight. They often last for several years or even decades to achieve a complete victory. Therefore, being able to gain a foothold in other worlds at the beginning is considered a preliminary victory.

How can you be considered to have a firm foothold? Naturally, you have won a spiritual place.

Therefore, although Gushan is not in a good geographical location, it is a spiritual place after all. With it, this hunting will not be a failure, so you can cover up your face slightly.

Therefore, Li Pingbo was full of gratitude to Xiong Xian, the elder of the Iron Sword Sect who came to "sent to help in time".

Li Pingbo immediately made a decision in his heart and temporarily left the forest and went to Gushan.

However, the army of more than 3,000 cultivators is not as simple as retreating as they want, but they must make a comprehensive plan. After all, under the siege of monsters, the demon snake is hiding where to peek at the army.

So Li Pingbo ordered the Chamber of Commerce deacon Qian Ziwang to take Xiong Xian and others to Gushan in advance and order the Tiejianmen to prepare to welcome the army.

"Elder Xiong, congratulations, congratulations to the sect for making great contributions this time." Qian Ziwang smiled at Xiong. As Li Pingbo's confidant, Qian Ziwang naturally understood Li Pingbo's anxiety. The iron sword gate conquering Gushan was definitely a timely help for Li Pingbo.

"Haha, Tiejianmen is also a member of the Chamber of Commerce's army. In the future, I will ask the Deacon Qian to take care of him." Xiong Xian smiled.

"It's easy to say, but you have to ask Elder Xiong to take care of him for hundreds of miles through the mountains and forests." Qian Ziwang said solemnly.

Xiong Xian nodded: "Daoman Qian is safe. As long as he doesn't meet the Demon Snake King, I will try my best to ensure that Deao Qian is safe!"
Chapter completed!
