The three of them returned to Qionghai Sword Pavilion, where the people were already in a state of panic.

So Zhou Qingyun shouted, saying that a demon had just appeared, but now the demon has been resolved, and masters from the four realms have come to Emei to drive out the demon. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

Cheng Xinzhan also found the two boys. The two boys had seen many people from the fourth and fifth realms in the mountains, so they were not panicked at all. They ran fast just now and were not injured.

Cheng Xinzhan felt that the situation in the south was unclear, and that demons were on the rise while Taoism was declining, so he asked the two boys if they wanted to go back to Kanli Mountain with him to meditate in seclusion.

However, the two boys were unwilling to do so. They said that since they had left the mountain, they might as well take some risks. They also cited the example of Cheng Xinzhan's unsatisfactory practice.

Cheng Xinzhan smiled when he heard this and let them go.

Then, he sent a message to Feng Jihu and Wu Qingbo, who were nearby and were hiding in the dark ready to pick up Cheng Xinzhan at any time. Cheng Xinzhan told them what happened and reminded them that they had to be extremely careful if they wanted to walk around the border between Kang and Yunnan.

After explaining everything clearly, he prepared to go back to Kanli Mountain for retreat. He had gained a lot from the previous battle, including the ideas of mountain clouds, Kanli, false power, seal, and even refining treasures from the Earth Book. He needed to sort them out.

He left Jiange and sat on the lion. Seeing Zhou Qingyun still busy directing people on Qionghai, he didn't want to disturb him, so he patted the lion and was about to leave. But at this moment, he saw a man flying back from the south in a panic, landing in front of Zhou Qingyun and saying a few words, and then Zhou Qingyun's face changed.

Then he rode forward, and rode the lion,

"What happened?"

At this time, Zhou Qingyun's face was solemn, and he whispered,

"The Five Poison Heavenly Kings did not return to Wuliang Mountain, but stopped at the place where they were sealed."

Cheng Xinzhan's eyes narrowed when he heard this.
"What is he going to do?"

Zhou Qingyun shook his head.
"I don't know. The people we sent out to get information don't dare to get too close. Now we can only wait and see what happens."

After hearing this, Cheng Xinzhan was silent for a moment, then looked around Qionghai, pointed to a hill in the west of the sea, and said,
"Is anyone there?"

"No."

"I will rest there for a few days. I just lost a lot of mana in the battle."

"Why don't you rest in the Sword Pavilion? I have kept your room all along. When you open the window, you can see the Qionghai Sea."

Cheng Xinzhan shook his head and patted the lion under his seat.

"A lion is too big to fit into a building easily. Besides, there are so many of you here. If you leave it outside alone, I'm afraid it will bump into pedestrians."

Without waiting for Zhou Qingyun to say anything else, he patted the lion and went down to the western mountain.

On the second day, new news was reported back to Jiange.

After the Five Poison Kings and Venerable Poison Dragon entered the cave yesterday, they never came out again. Instead, there were always huge noises coming from underground, like a mountain bursting and a river stopping. Today, many demons from Wuliang Mountain were seen flying over from southern Yunnan and entering the cave.

On the third day after the Five Poison Kings broke the seal, the noise below the cave became louder and louder. Above the cave, it became more and more lively, and even the demons from Miaojiang and Southern Wilderness came out, arriving in batches.

This went on for several days.

With such a big commotion happening at the border of Kang and Dian, the Xuanmen naturally became alert. More and more Xuanmen came from Shuzhong to reinforce the Qionghai Sword Pavilion, so there were more and more inns, markets and self-built caves surrounding Qionghai.

The hill where Cheng Xinzhan lived was to the west of Qionghai Lake. The mountain looked like a crouching tiger and was called "White Tiger Drinking Water" in terms of feng shui. It was a Feng Shui treasure land and most people built their homes here.

Cheng Xinzhan is now quite famous in Xikang. His lion is very eye-catching and everyone recognizes it. He is also the first one to occupy the mountain, so most of the latecomers come to visit and greet him before settling down. This makes him tired of dealing with him and he does not know whether to laugh or cry.

On the seventh day, Zhou Qingyun came. Because they lived close to each other, they usually communicated directly through voice transmission. This was the first time she came in person.

Cheng Xinzhan always liked to build a hut in a sunny place on the mountainside, and this time was no exception. He built his hut on a protruding cliff on the east side, overlooking the Qionghai Lake. The view was wide and convenient for taking pictures. Zhou Qingyun found it in no time.

"Brother Dao, do you know what everyone calls this mountain now?"

Zhou Qingyun asked with a smile.

"Xishan?"

She shook her head.

"Tiger Mountain?"

She still shook her head.

"what is that?"

Zhou Qingyun smiled and pointed at the sleeping lion behind Cheng Xinzhan.

"Lion Rock."

Cheng Xinzhan burst out laughing.

Zhou Qingyun started with a joke, but then his expression turned serious.
"Master Miechenzi has arrived. He will stay in Kangnan and look after me and Junior Sister Yu's White Horse Sword Pavilion. Qingcheng Mountain has also sent a fourth-level great cultivator. He is the junior brother of Qingcheng Master Hanxu Zhenren, Senior Tianyizi.

"Master Miechenzi and Senior Tianyizi have already arrived at Lugu Lake and have built a hut by the lake to practice. From now on, all matters concerning my Xuanmen in Yunnan will be decided by the two seniors through consultation."

Cheng Xinzhan immediately thought of something when he heard this, and asked, "Is it because of that cave?"

Zhou Qingyun nodded.

"We have received news that the Five Poison Heavenly King wanted to use this cave to establish a branch of the Five Poison Sect, so he recruited many people from Wuliang Mountain. Later, he asked the Green Robe Patriarch for people and volunteered to be the vanguard of the Southern Sect's march into Xikang.

"However, after hearing his idea, Lu Pao directly turned this cave into his own palace, and let the Five Poison Heavenly Kings be the general manager of the palace, leading the Dianwen Demon Cult and responsible for all matters concerning Kang, and also sent a large number of demon soldiers over."

Cheng Xinzhan listened, thought for a moment, and then said,
"The Five Poison Kings are very courageous, and the Green Robe Patriarch is also very resourceful. But I have a question. What is so special about the cave in Emei Town that sealed the Five Poison Kings that made these two want to take it for themselves?"

Zhou Qingyun sighed upon hearing this.

"I just found out about this as well. It was Uncle Miechenzi who told me personally that there is an extremely deep and large underground cave called the 'Zhuanxu Dragon Cave'. It is the place where the ancient Emperor Zhuanxu released dragons.

"The walls of this cave are very solid. If you go from the outside in, you need the skills of the fifth realm. If you go from the inside out, even a real dragon can't be hurt. So when the ancestor cleaned this cave into an empty hole, he threw the Five Poison Heavenly Kings in, and then sealed the entrance and exit of the dragon cave, making it a cage."

Cheng Xinzhan nodded, and then everything made sense.

According to this statement, the Southern School found the fiefdom of the Five Poison Kings not because it was revealed directly by the Blood God Son, but because the Green Robe Patriarch smelled the dragon energy here and sent people to investigate.

No matter how hard Changmei Zhenren cleaned the cave, he could not completely remove all the dragon energy left over from the ancient true dragon.

And although it was Mu Longzhang who unsealed the Five Poison Kings that day, he probably still had the Five Realms Magic Treasure given by the Green Robe Patriarch in his hand.

It is no wonder that the Southern School was willing to take the risk to seize such a strong, deep and wide dragon cave, ignoring the fact that the cave is located at the border between Kang and Yunnan.

He thought for a moment, and a picture of the current situation in southwest China appeared in his mind, and he said,

"In this way, Longdong, Wumeng Mountain and Loushan Pass are connected in a line. The Southern School wants to treat Miaojiang and Dianwen as a chessboard. In addition, Longdong, Xuanxin Temple and Baigu Zen Temple are blocked in the south, west and north respectively, which restricts your Xuanmen's intention to control Daxikang. The southern and northern schools have also become a chessboard."

Cheng Xinzhan nodded slowly and sighed,

"This dragon cave is a wonderful move."

Zhou Qingyun looked at Cheng Xinzhan and said in surprise,

"Brother Dao, what you said is exactly the same as what Master Miechenzi said."

Cheng Xinzhan chuckled. The world situation was no different from playing chess. The battle between good and evil was nothing more than a matter of who had more pieces and who occupied a better position.

Most of the people in the world cannot get on the chessboard and are still at the mercy of the chess pieces. Most of the pieces on the board are idle pieces or useless pieces. There are not many who can be called brilliant pieces, and even fewer people who can jump out of the vision of the chess pieces and look at the chessboard. It seems that Miechenzi is one of them.

If one wants to place the pieces as a chess player and control the situation, then one needs higher means and realm. Miao Yi Zhenren, Xue Shen Zi, and Green Robe Patriarch are all masters at this.

"Then Brother Dao, where do you think the Southern School will set up its base next?"

Zhou Qingyun asked, she wanted to see if what Cheng Xinzhan said was the same as what Master Miechenzi said.

"Longxiang Temple and Xiangxi."

Cheng Xinzhan said without thinking.

Zhou Qingyun widened his eyes. It was exactly as Uncle Miechenzi had said.

"Did Miechenzi say that too?"

Looking at Zhou Qingyun's expression, Cheng Xinzhan guessed it.

Zhou Qingyun nodded.

"Longxiang Temple controls the western passage for Yunnanese to enter Kang, and can also connect with Tubo Maha Sect. After it is conquered, it can also serve as a horn with Zhuanxu Longdong. Xiangxi can enter Bashu in the west and Sanxiang in the east, and can also support Loushanguan.

"As long as we can take down these two, the area west of Wuling and south of the Yangtze River will be completely controlled by the Southern Clan. At that time, whether the Southern Clan wants to go north or east, it will be much easier."

Cheng Xinzhan explained.

Zhou Qingyun understood, and then asked,

"Brother Dao, do you think the Southern School can conquer these two places?"

Cheng Xinzhan smiled when he heard this and said,

“I think it shouldn’t be that easy.”

In fact, Xuanmen had long realized the importance of these two places, so he placed the Baima Sword Pavilion in the west to watch over the Longxiang Temple, and the Heliang Sword Pavilion in the east to guard against Xiangxi.

Now, a Zhuanxu Dragon Cave has appeared in the Demon Sect. Seeing that Longxiang Temple is in danger, it immediately sent two people from the fourth realm to guard Lugu Lake. It can be said that they have a broad vision and quick action.

As for Xiangxi.

The one or two years I spent in Xiangxi were not in vain.
