heard the words.

Zhou Mubai shook his head.

"Although the horde of corpses entrenched on Lianhua Island is not considered strong, the real Shenjue lurking in the dark is the big trouble. In addition, we don't know if the real Shenjue has left behind.

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

Chen Daoxuan frowned and said: "But according to our last investigation, Lianhua Island should only have two Zifu perfect zombies and three Zifu early zombies."

"It's not that simple,"

Zhou Mubai said as he walked, "Did you find out? The three Zombie Early Zombies were all monks from the Wu and Zhao families."

"You mean"

Chen Daoxuan was startled suddenly.

You must know that there are no Zifu monks in the Wu family and Zhao family, that is to say, the two zombies in the early stage of the Zifu were promoted to the Zifu's combat power after death.

But how long have they been dead?

Even the longest-lived monk of the Wu family has only died for a few months, and the monk of the Zhao family has just died not long ago!

In such a short period of time, the corpse of a foundation-building cultivator was forcibly refined into a Zombie of the Zifu, which meant that the real Shenjue could mass-produce the combat power of the Zifu.

Think about it.

Chen Daoxuan only felt the creeps all over his body.

Qianyuan Sword Sect wants the monks of Guang'an Mansion to lure the real person Shenjue out. This might cause the rhythm of the entire Guang'an Mansion monks to be wiped out!

For this case.

Of course, the monks of Guang'an Mansion are unwilling to act as this early bird.

So the Zhou family came up with the idea of ​​withdrawing all the monks from Lianhua Island near Guang'an Mansion.

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

It's just that there are a lot of mortals.

In order to transport these mortals, the Zhou family united with the Yang family and spent a lot of effort before transferring these people to the spiritual veins within ten thousand miles of Lingbei Island.

After transferring these mortals and low-level monks away.

Zhou Mubai will build several strong lines of defense from Lianhu Island to several islands of Wu and Zhou's family to prevent the tide of corpses from spreading to Guang'an Mansion.

Thus.

Feeling the pressure exerted by Guang'an Mansion, the tide of corpses is likely to spread in the opposite direction of Guang'an Mansion.

And the opposite direction from Lianhua Island to Guang'an Mansion is the direction of Cangzhou Xiancheng.

It is the land of the first family in Cangzhou, the Ye family.

This is also the real plan of the Allied Forces of Guang'an Prefecture - to divert disasters to the east.

As for whether the Ye family chooses to block the tide of corpses like Guang'an Mansion, or directly sends monks to exterminate them, it has nothing to do with Guang'an Mansion.

Zhou Mubai only needs to firmly hold the defense line of Guang'an Mansion.

As for the disaster of the Ye family, it was too late for Zhou Mubai to applaud, how could he send an army of monks to help them.

What's more, Zhou Mubai didn't believe that Qianyuan Jianzong would remain indifferent when the Ye family was in trouble.

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

The Ye family has too many enemies.

The Zhou family had feuds with the Ye family, the Chen family had feuds with the Ye family, and so did the Yang family.

In Cangzhou, perhaps there are few families that have no enmity with the Ye family.

the following days.

After Chen Daoxuan selected the soldiers in the western defense zone, he brought them back to Sequoia Island.

This time, in order to support the western defense zone, the Zhou family seconded ten spirit void warships.

now.

Each spirit void battleship carries a hundred foundation-establishing monks.

add up.

There are a thousand Foundation Establishment cultivators stationed in the western defense zone, not including ordinary soldiers in the Qi refining period.

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

This is only the smallest defense zone.

There is no way, in order to deal with the tide of corpses, the monks of Guang'an Mansion have to unite to deal with the real person Shenjue.

These 100,000 people are only the transfer of monks for the time being, not including the number of mortals.

You know, in Guang'an Mansion, behind every monk, there is a large group of mortals serving him.

Whether it is a family monk or a casual cultivator, it is basically the same.

There are naturally an extremely large number of clan members behind the family monks.

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

Even these slaves will build cities and reproduce 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.

Until then.

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

This is also the biggest source of Wan Xinghai casual cultivation.

Family monks use blood as a link to reproduce and train monks.

The advantage of doing this is that the tribe is united and has a strong centripetal force.

But casual cultivators support themselves with ordinary civilians or slaves.

It is possible that before he dies, he will accept a few disciples and pass on the mantle.

However, due to the lack of deep feelings between disciples, they often gradually become passers-by in the future.

It would be different if the casual cultivator who left the inheritance was powerful enough, such as the orthodoxy left by a certain Mahayana true immortal.

This kind of inheritance will often evolve into a sect in the end.

Instead of disappearing after a generation or two.

Of course, in the world of cultivating immortals, it is not surprising that there are many sects that decline and eventually disappear.

For example, Qianyuan Sword Sect is a Taoism left by a Mahayana true immortal, and then slowly developed to the point where it is today.

There are also powerful ones in the Xiuxian family, not weaker than Zongmen at all.

Actually in this world.

No matter what kind of practice force, it has its own advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage of the cultivation power of the family is that the members of the clan are united enough, but the disadvantage is that it is inevitable to cherish oneself.

The sect's practice power is much more tolerant than the family.

As long as they are talented seedlings within the sphere of influence of the direct jurisdiction, regardless of bloodline, they will be brought into the sect for cultivation before a certain age.

In this way.

In terms of the range of choices for disciples, they are inherently much wider than family power.

Coupled with the fact that their inheritance is not weak, generally speaking, the power of sects in the world of cultivating immortals is greater than that of families.

Such as Qianyuan Jianzong, such as Xuanyangzong, such as Qinghui Daoist School, such as Qianji Temple and so on.

But the Zongmen's influence also has its disadvantages when it develops later, that is, the system is not perfect, and it can only grow to a certain level, and then it has to rely on the family's influence to rule the territory under its command.

As a result, it is bound to cause instability in governance.

Don't look at Qianyuan Jianzong's extremely firm control over Wan Xinghai.

When the Qianyuan Sword Sect shows a slight decline, the major families of Wan Xinghai will inevitably violate its decrees.

Not only Wan Xinghai, but also the family forces under the other sects in Xianyunzhou are basically like this.

Some may say.

That being the case, why not completely abolish the family system and bring the entire territory under the rule of the sect.

It can only be said that this kind of idea is very good, but in reality it is simply impossible.

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

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

And man is precisely the most contradictory creature.

They may sacrifice their lives for their ideals and the forces they belong to, but they also have no bottom line for future generations.

If Qianyuan Jianzong had completely wiped out all the families when he ruled Wanxinghai.

What will happen next is almost predictable.

Will there be descendants of the high-ranking members of the Qianyuan Sword Sect?

Certainly, these high-level descendants choose to be placed in Qianyuan Jianzong, or driven out?

Generally speaking, in order to maintain the long-term stability of the sect, the sect rarely devotes resources to the children of high-level officials.

Because of this.

After a few generations, the sect became a union of several families, and after several generations of fighting, it finally became a family.

Naturally, the senior sect officials would not sit back and watch this happen.

As a result, the descendants of the high-level sects often go out independently to start the Cultivation Clan.

In this way, the problem returned to the original point, and the Xiuxian family was born again.

Therefore, it is not that the family system will not be abolished, but that there is no way to abolish it.

On the deck of the spirit void battleship.

Chen Daoxuan looked at Zhou Mucheng and Zhou Siliang who were standing beside him, and said with a smile: "Uncle Zhou, Brother Siliang, follow me to Redwood Island this time, and we have to start all over again."

"Haha, I'm satisfied with saving my life. Besides, now that I'm under your nephew's command, can you treat my father and son badly?"

Zhou Mucheng laughed loudly.

"That's not going to happen,"

Chen Daoxuan said with a smile, "But brother Siliang probably won't be used to Sequoia Island."

"Brother Chen, don't scare me,"

Zhou Siliang had a look of embarrassment on his face, "It can't really be some wild place!"

"It's not as wild as it is, it's just that there is no place to have fun!"

"That's a good feeling!"

Zhou Mucheng couldn't help applauding and laughing when he heard this.

Hearing this, Zhou Siliang immediately put on a bitter face.

Everyone was talking and laughing.

Behind him, a monk in armor came over, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, Sequoia Island is almost here!"

heard the words.

Chen Daoxuan glanced at the red island below, nodded: "I see."

"yes!"

Lei Zhengong cupped his hands and retreated.

This casual cultivator named Lei Zhen in the late foundation establishment period seemed to be convinced by Chen Daoxuan, and he followed Chen Daoxuan to Redwood Island.

Although there are as many as a thousand Foundation Establishment monks who came this time.

But most of them are monks in the early stage of foundation establishment, and there are not many monks in the middle stage of foundation establishment.

As for the later stage of foundation establishment, there were only Zhou Mucheng and Lei Zhen.

These two, one with the seventh floor of the foundation and the other with the eighth floor of the foundation, can be regarded as a master among the monks who established the foundation.

Compared with Zhou Mubai in the Eastern Defense Zone, this strength is not too shabby.

However, the main function of the western defense area is patrolling, and it is not required to go to the front line to fight. This amount of power is more than enough for patrolling.

Even if it wasn't for Chen Daoxuan, the Zhou family could handle such a trivial matter by themselves, and there was no need to establish any western defense zone at all.

It's just that the Shuanghu Island of the Chen family is here.

In order to maintain a harmonious relationship between the two families in the future, the Zhou family naturally planned the spheres of influence of the two parties in advance to avoid conflicts between the two parties in the future.

This western defense area is not so much a defense area as it is the Chen family's sphere of influence.

In other words.

Now with Shuanghu Island as the center, the sea area with a radius of more than 10,000 li will be the Chen family's sphere of influence.

The Chen family's sphere of influence has expanded by more than a hundred times compared to when they could only spread across a few nearby islands.

It's just that, now that the sphere of influence has expanded, the Chen family still faces a problem, that is, there is a shortage of manpower, and it is a serious shortage!
