Chapter 534: Chapter 453 Elder Requests Assistance + Chapter 454 Hong Ye Pays Respect_2

Order was destroyed, and the powerful families fled, leaving behind nothing but refugees, land, houses, mines, and shops as ownerless properties.

All the good things became ownerless.

At that time, taking them into hand and distributing them was justifiable.

Even if those powerful families came back, they couldn’t claim that these things should be rightfully returned to them.

After all, they had abandoned this land; it was no longer theirs. Others struggled desperately to regain it. Merely wishing to take it back, no matter the excuses, lacked any justification.

"In the early stages of power formation, having a territory free from anyone’s influence, where I could award titles and support my troops at will, was my foundation."

"Once the territory expanded and our Qi Fortune was sufficient with a strong foundation, we could incorporate talents from all sides, selectively using some of the powerful families and experts from various sects. We wouldn’t have to worry about the shift between guest and host then..."

Because of this reason,

Zhou Ping’an was pleased to hear about the Red Lotus Sect’s sudden attack on Yunzhou.

But not everyone felt the same.

Standing on the city walls, he saw several figures swiftly approaching in the distance.

Behind them, further away, was a small troop of cavalry hurrying in escape, followed by a large group of cavalry.

The leading figures, when they were close enough for an arrow shot, one of them shouted with a loud voice, "Nephew Disciple Zhou, this old Taoist has taken the liberty of visiting. Please consider our fellow sect membership and send troops to rescue us..."

This Taoist, dressed in a moon-white robe adorned with blue pine patterns and carrying a treasured sword, had the air of a high-ranking person. With a spring in his step, he quickly reached the top of the city wall.

This man was an old acquaintance whom Zhou Ping’an had met twice before.

It was Elder Wu Changsong from Diecang Peak.

Behind him followed two disciples, around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, judging by the style of their robes, they should also be disciples of Diecang Peak.

On the day Wu Changsong descended the mountain to assist True Disciple Zhang Zhongshu of Chongyang Peak, he had brought a majestic entourage of seventy to eighty Inner Sect Disciples.

But here at Zhou Ping’an’s side, there had only been two, Zhan Shanhe and Wu Junsong.

From this, one could see the sect’s preference for lower forces at that time.

Had it not been for the strong competition from Su Lianxue, Yu Changsheng and others, who snatched over thirty Inner Sect disciples to aid, the number of high-level fighters under Zhou Ping’an would have been pitifully small.

These Inner Sect Disciples, although mostly in the Blood Renewal and Organ Refinement Realms, not even many breaking through to the True Qi Realm,

they were, after all, studying Immortal Sect cultivation techniques. Their foundations were extremely solid, and their methods far surpassed ordinary Jianghu experts.

Once given the chance, they could advance dramatically.

So many Cloud Water Sect disciples had continuously moved to Huangze County, taking up low-level military leadership roles. Zhou Ping’an saying he wasn’t envious would definitely be a lie.

Moreover, once Zhang Taiyan came out of the Immortal Mansion Heavenly Cave, several elders and a group of disciples hurried to Yunzhou. This situation, even if Zhou Ping’an was reluctant, was inevitable.

Now, it gave him an opportunity.

"Be patient, Elder Wu. You are unaware that currently, Guangyun County is experiencing a blood chaos. Nephew suspects that Prefectural Governor Cui Guangling is practicing Blood Demon Technique, tormenting living beings. The people under his rule are as if they are trapped in Hell, in a dire situation...

You see, my troops are already assembled, ready to march directly on the County City to rescue tens of thousands from dire straits. I really have no spare capacity to send troops for rescue."

"This, Nephew Disciple Zhou, you are being naive. The small Guangyun area is incomparable to where Disciple Zhang Zhongshu is. Once we save Huangze, once everything settles down, Pei Zhongli from the Pei Family being too young to take charge, Yunzhou will come under the complete control of our Cloud Water Sect, gaining a foothold for the sect in one of the Nine Provinces, underscoring hopes for a great revival of the sect..."

Wu Changsong was so anxious his beard fluttered,"Moreover, speaking of which, Guangyun County belongs to Jiangzhou, which is close to Brahma Temple with many experts within. It’s hard to sleep soundly by the side of the couch where another lies in deep slumber. Even if Nephew Disciple Zhou seizes Guangyun County, it would not be peaceful.

Moreover, if Cui Guangling has cultivated the Blood Scripture, he would be formidable and hard to provoke...

Without the aid of our sect’s high-ranking experts, how could it be possible to succeed? Going there would be futile.

Why not set up earlier in Yunzhou, where after success, you might be rewarded and hold a territory, enhancing your cultivation."

These words made Zhou Ping’an realize that Elder Wu Changsong had not received the news that Zhang Taiyan had come and been defeated and had fled.

His information was clearly delayed.

Thus, he still harbored the idea of betting on and wholeheartedly supporting Zhang Zhongshu.

If he knew that Zhang Taiyan had already been dead beyond dead, and even his soul fragments had been converted by the Relic Pearls, it was uncertain whether he would still have the enthusiasm to solicit help everywhere for Zhang Zhongshu’s Huangze County.

Thinking of this, Zhou Ping’an felt amused internally. However, he was still somewhat concerned about the news of Brahma Temple revealed in Wu Changsong’s words.

Hearing Wu Changsong’s words.

Zhou Ping’an suddenly understood some matters.

No wonder the main force of the Cloud Water Sect disciples was all devoted to Yunzhou.

Apparently, Jiangzhou was under the influence of the Brahma Temple... They were not optimistic about developing here, thus they had divided the territories early, each plotting for a state.

These major forces...

That being said, if Guangyun was also considered a feast for the Brahma Temple, why then, with Cui Guangling practicing Blood Scripture and causing outrage, had no one come to handle it?

Could it be that the information he overheard last night was actually true?
