The master and apprentice walked and talked until they entered the backyard of the cave.

The little white snake's huge body was entangled in a circle, with its head folded together. When Tangning came in from the outside, one of its figures flashed, and its huge body immediately wrapped around him, and its huge head stood in front of him.

He kept spitting out scarlet letters.

Before he set off for Millennium Island, the little white snake happened to fall into a deep sleep. After so many years, it has woken up and successfully passed through the Nascent Soul stage.

While stroking its huge head, Tang Ning asked, "What's going on? Please tell me in detail from the beginning."

Gu Yuanya said: "The situation in the entire Donglai County is very chaotic now. After the Liu family completely surrendered to Jiang Yunming, Emperor Taixuanzong defined them as rebels who colluded with Beihai, Le'an, and Pingyuan. The conflicts between the two sides continued, causing many counties to

Taixuanzong's garrison was attacked."

"On the other hand, the Nether Sea Organization also wanted to take advantage of the chaos to expand its territory in Donglai County, so it had conflicts with many Xuanmen."

"There is not a harmonious atmosphere within Xuanmen. Many sects have ambiguous attitudes. Among them, the Mirror Moon Sect is the leader. Regarding the conflict between Taixuanzong and the practicing family of Donglai County, they have adopted a wait-and-see attitude and have not helped Taixuanzong deal with the practicing family."

"In this way, the entire Donglai County is divided into two groups of opposing forces. One is the cultivating family headed by the Liu family and the fourth legion of Taixuanzong's Qingwu Camp."

"The other side is Donglai County Xuanmen and Netherworld Sea Organization."

"It stands to reason that in this situation, Taixuanzong and Xuanmen of Donglai County should be united to fight against the threats of the cultivating family and the Netherworld Sea Organization, but strangely, both sides are looking after their own affairs, just like water in a well.

Rivers have no intersection."

"Nowadays, the nine counties under Donglai County, four counties in the west have openly rebelled and taken refuge with the Liu family, namely Luzhi County, Fengyuan County, Baiyun County, and Shigang County."

"There are twelve cities under this county, and three cities have changed their flags, namely Lushui City, Yuanzhi City and Huanglong City."

"These three cities are backed by Luzhi County and are supported by the practicing families of Luzhi County. Although the headquarters column organized several attacks, they did not achieve much results."

"Now the entire western part of Donglai County no longer has the strength of the Fourth Army of Taixuanzong. The fifth, sixth, seventh, and ninth columns stationed in Luzhi County, Fengyuan County, Baiyun County, and Shigang County have been attacked by them.

The attacks from the cultivating families within the sphere of influence have all been retreated back to the county and were redistributed to the location where these five counties meet."

"There are currently three columns stationed in this county, namely the headquarters column and the retreating fifth and sixth columns."

"In Xuantang City, five regiments have now been assembled. In addition to the headquarters regiment, there are also two regiments from the fifth column and two regiments from the sixth column."

Tang Ning nodded. She didn't expect that Donglai County would undergo such big changes in the decades since she was away. It would not be an exaggeration to describe it as earth-shaking.

Although it was unexpected, it makes sense if you think about it carefully.

Ever since the Xuanmen uprising in the three counties of Beihai, Le'an, and Pingyuan, Xuanmen in Donglai County has been ready to make a move, and the relationship with Taixuanzong was once very tense, but both sides still had concerns, so no major conflict broke out.

During the last tax collection, many Taoists wanted to make a big fuss, but in the end they compromised under the high pressure of Taixuanzong, which was just a helpless move forced by the situation.

In fact, the conflicts between the two parties not only did not ease, but became more acute after the tax, leading to the current situation.

Originally, the two sides were supposed to be working closely together to face the threat of the rebellious cultivating family and the Netherworld Sea Organization. However, due to previous conflicts, they each took a stand on the sidelines.

The Xuanmen of Donglai County made a neutral choice between the rebellious cultivating family and the Fourth Legion of Taixuanzong. Taixuanzong himself was too busy to take care of himself, so naturally he would not spare his hand to help them deal with the Netherworld Sea Organization, which was ambitious and ready to move.

So they each fought on their own.

For the Fourth Legion of Taixuanzong, it is now in a difficult situation, and there are apparently rebellious cultivating families.

Behind the scenes is the Netherworld Sea Organization, which is ready to expand its ambitions.

Secretly, there is also the Xuanmen of Donglai County, which has been trying to escape from the control of Taixuanzong for a long time.

The only good news is that the Netherworld Sea Organization is unlikely to unite with the Cultivation Family or the Xuanmen of Donglai County.

However, Xuanmen in Donglai County may unite with the spiritual family at any time to completely drive out the Taixuanzong garrison from Donglai County.

Taixuanzong's troops stationed in Donglai County are already struggling to deal with the currently rebellious cultivating families, let alone the Xuanmen and Netherworld Sea organizations.

Once they unite, Donglai County may no longer have a foothold for Taixuanzong.

Tang Ning's mind was spinning. After Gu Yuanya's words, he had a basic judgment on the current situation in Donglai County. After a while, he asked: "Luzhi County, Fengyuan County, Baiyun County, Shigang County"

What is the attitude of the Xuanmen in these places in the county? After the fourth army garrison column was defeated and retreated by the rebellious cultivating family, have those Xuanmen been attacked by the rebellious cultivating family?"

"No, in those counties and cities that rebelled, the local Xuanmen remained the same and were not affected at all. In fact, some resources that originally belonged to the Taixuan Sect were occupied by them." Gu Yuanya said.

"Where's the headquarters unit? Have there been any changes over the years?"

Gu Yuanya said: "Master, I was about to tell you! Your former supporter in the alliance, Fang Dasheng, the original commander of the alliance, successfully advanced to the Void Refining Realm and was transferred to the fifth column as a steward. Now he

He is in command of the two regiments of the fifth column stationed on the front line in this city."

Tangning frowned: "Fifth Column, why was he transferred there?"

To transfer a disciple across a column, at least someone at the level of deputy captain of the legion must sign and sign, let alone be promoted to a high-level position like a column manager, unless Fang Dasheng has the support of a very powerful person behind him.

"I don't know. I heard that it was because the fifth column suffered heavy casualties in the previous battle with the Luzhi County rebels, so he was transferred there in order to supplement manpower."

"Then who is in charge of the headquarters unit now? Hao Jianren?"

"Yes, now Hao Jianren is the captain of the headquarters. The supervisor is Sima Nianzu. The deputy captain is Xie Minghua. Huang Yuan, the leader of the direct brigade, was killed in a previous battle. Ren Quan took over his position. The supervisor is deputy captain Xu Ziyi who was promoted. The deputy captain is

Xu Mengyuan."

Hao Jianren has become the leader of the alliance. This is not good news. The two are not in the same boat.

On Xie Minghua's thousandth birthday, he had offended Sima Xian, the young head of the Sima family.

Vice-captain Xie Minghua didn't like him very much either.

It can be said that this major change in the senior management of the alliance is very unfriendly to me. It is no wonder that I will be removed from my post. If Fang Dasheng were in office, maybe things could be done. Now there is one emperor and one courtier, Hao Jianren, Sima

In memory of his ancestors, Xie Minghua had no reason to protect himself.

Originally, the three main leaders of the alliance represented the interests of Taixuan Zong's masters and disciples, the authentic sect, and the aristocratic families. Now the balance has been broken. The inspectors and deputy captains of the alliance are all from the aristocratic family.

It is conceivable that for disciples who wear the label, life will not be easy in the future.

"Master, there is one more thing." Seeing his silence, Gu Yuanya said in a low voice: "After the brigade discussed it, reported it to the alliance, and obtained the approval of Taixuanzong Qingxuan Palace, they have been absent from duty for a long time and disobeyed the alliance management regulations.

For this reason, you have been dismissed from your positions as brigade manager and squad leader."

"I already know about this." Tangning nodded calmly: "Gao Yuan, Chen Xiaofan, and Yan Qing, how are they doing now?"

"They are still serving in the original team. Since you lost contact, they have come to see me several times to discuss countermeasures."

The master and apprentice chatted for a long time, and Tang Ning had a general understanding of the situation inside and outside the alliance, and then left the cave and came to Xu Mengyuan's residence.

Not long after, thick fog rolled inside, and a ray of light shot out, revealing the figure of a man with big ears. He bowed and saluted: "Uncle Tang, Uncle Xu, please come in."

The two of them entered the inner room one after another. Xu Mengyuan has now been promoted to the deputy captain of the direct brigade. According to the regulations of Qingwu Camp, he can recruit a disciple from the regiment. This man should be his disciple.

"Uncle Tang, please wait a moment. Uncle Xu is waiting for guests and will be here shortly." After saying this, the man turned around and left the hall.

Tang Ning took a seat below and waited for about half an hour. Footsteps were heard outside. Xu Mengyuan pushed the door open and walked towards him with a smile on his face: "Brother Tang, you are back. I will say that you are a lucky person.

, nothing will happen."

"Brother Xu, I'm sorry to bother you." Tang Ning stood up and returned the greeting: "Congratulations, Brother Xu, for being promoted to deputy captain of the headquarters team."

"There is no need to be so polite between us, please take a seat."

The two exchanged a few words and then took their seats respectively: "Brother Tang, when did you come back?"

"I just returned to the regiment not long ago. After asking about it, I found out that Brother Xu has been promoted to the deputy captain of the brigade, so he immediately came to congratulate me. I didn't expect that so many things happened during my trip, which really shocked me.

Shocked."

Xu Mengyuan sighed slightly: "Brother Tang, I don't know if you have heard something. Because you have been absent from the post for a long time, the alliance has reported to the sect and removed you from the post of team manager. I can't help with this matter.

I'm really sorry for being busy."

"I have heard from the villain before that Brother Xu does not need to worry about this. I know that this matter is not something you can control."
