Gu Immortal, Gu Gu Gu Gu Gu Gu

"So, you deliberately didn't sell indulgences in order to prove to the alliance that the middle clans cannot be naturalized, so as to achieve your own selfish desires?"

Chang Xiao didn't know the inside story, otherwise he wouldn't have noticed it until now.

Upon hearing this, Master Yuan simply smiled faintly: "Although I have selfish motives, my loyalty to Master Li is beyond doubt. As for the matter of indulgences, I do not deny that some manipulation was done."

Chang Xiao stroked his chin lightly, thinking to himself that there was nothing wrong with what Master Yuan did.

The Snow Mountain Alliance was in the midst of rapid expansion, and a comprehensive promotion and screening mechanism had not yet been established internally.

This made it easy for many people to stand out, but since most of them came from small clans and lacked strong backing, they still firmly adhered to the alliance.

In contrast, medium-sized clans or powerful clans that have come to seek refuge may be able to play both sides between the alliance and the family and become vampires dependent on the alliance.

Because of personal grudges, Master Yuan cut off the path of medium-sized forces to join the alliance and insisted on selling indulgences to small clans.

Obviously, he has seen through this problem, and he will not allow anyone to become his competitor until he has enough power and voice.

"How do you plan to act?" Chang Xiao perked up and had already immersed himself in the role, knowing full well that their every word and action might determine the life and death of hundreds of people.

"Since we have decided to keep it secret, we might as well go a step further and cut off sight and hearing, cut off communication, and do our best to suppress the exposure of news of casualties among the medium-sized forces, forcing more small clans to unite and seize all the wealth and treasures of the medium-sized clans for us."

Young Master Yuan showed his edge. This plan was very vicious and was intended to isolate these forces so that they could not spy on the changes in the outside world.

In their anxiety, these forces may intensify their oppression of smaller clans, thus laying the seeds for their own destruction.

When these coalitions that defeat the middle-level forces rescue the small clans, the rage of revenge will be ignited, triggering a revolution sweeping across thousands of miles of the snowy mountain region.

According to Master Yuan's plan, the middle-class forces are doomed to extinction.

"It seems that you are eager for revenge. This is quite beneficial to Brother Li, because all the wealth will eventually be gathered in our hands."

He often smiled and frowned as he listened, knowing full well how miserable and depressing the death of those who were deceived would be.

However, this seems to be the best option. After all, Li Changsheng has made his position clear; the goal of their camp is only wealth.

"I am willing to support you, but you must agree to one condition of mine." After weighing the pros and cons, Chang Xiao decided to add another barrier to prevent the hatred from directly affecting Li Changsheng.

"What conditions?" A hint of doubt flashed across Master Yuan's eyes, thinking that Chang Xiao was being too soft-hearted again.

"Let the glory of the Snow Mountain God shine upon the women of the middle-class clans. The Snow Mountain God does not advocate killing. Let everyone understand and accept this teaching."

Master Yuan thought for a moment and nodded solemnly.

"Okay, it's a deal. I won't deliberately eliminate women of medium power, leaving them a glimmer of hope. But those rulers who hold real power must die."

The two men's eyes met, and their expression turned from intense to peaceful, and they reached a consensus.

At least there is still a way out of this bloody storm, and there is still a glimmer of hope for some people.

At dawn, the warriors of the Snow Mountain Alliance divided into more than 20 teams in the camp, carrying Yuan Hao's handwritten letters and precious gifts, and went to various medium-sized clans to invite them to participate in an auction that was urgently organized.

At the same time, each of the remaining 400-odd Gu Masters was assigned a special Gu insect for surveillance and eavesdropping, equipped with elite weapons, and assisted by three to four auxiliary soldiers, lurking on the periphery of each medium-sized force.

Once any messenger, outpost or scout activity is discovered, it must be suppressed at all costs.

At the same time, Master Yuan also dispatched more than ten elite guards to the Snow Mountain Alliance for help.

They will draw troops from the Black Mountain Clan, the Black Bear Clan, and other core clans of the alliance, aiming to divide and blockade the territories controlled by various forces within a thousand miles radius.

This force will continue to adjust according to the dynamics of the small clan armies, forming an isolation encirclement to block the circulation of any letters for help, suicide notes and other documents from medium-sized clans.

Under the leadership of Master Yuan, the Snow Mountain Alliance demonstrated its influence for the first time and began to secretly weaken the power of the legions surrounding the alliance, using trade as a cover to gradually eliminate potential threats.

……

The top of the snow-capped mountains has never been as prosperous as it is today since the establishment of the alliance.

The orders were transmitted to each clan like flying snowflakes.

Leaders of various forces arrived one after another, and clan troops were frequently mobilized.

Part of them supported the revenge war of the small clans instigated by Master Yuan, while the main force was transferred to the south, relying on a branch of the Yushan Mountains to build an indestructible line of defense to protect the core clans of the Snow Mountain Alliance.

"Master, the war is about to begin. It is reported that the Tuoba family has dispatched 3,000 elite soldiers, causing quite a stir along the way, and is heading towards the snowy mountains."

Liu Chengwu was wearing a gorgeous fur coat, with half of his face hidden in the soft fur.

He was not strong enough to stay on the top of the mountain for as long as Li Changsheng, so his attire was quite exaggerated.

"This battle is inevitable, but my estimation of the Tuoba clan was a little off. I thought they would go all out, but I didn't expect them to only send 3,000 troops. That's too arrogant of them."

Li Changsheng glanced at the map on the wall. This was a topographic map that he had purchased from various clans and had been carefully pieced together.

He wanted to gain an intuitive understanding of the war situation not only, but also to obtain the right to draw maps so that he could occupy a place in the alliance. He could dominate the alliance's decision-making if he advanced, and control the alliance's lifeline if he retreated. This would become an important bargaining chip in the future.

"Young Master, three thousand soldiers are no small force. They are enough to support the defense of a state in Yan State." Liu Chengwu couldn't help but sigh that the alliance expanded too fast, indirectly magnifying Li Changsheng's ambition.

"The Tuoba clan is the overlord of the grassland. I thought they would go all out, but I didn't expect them to play the trick of raising a tiger to cause trouble. It is difficult for them to become a true leader."

Li Changsheng had no prejudice against the Tuoba clan, but there were many descendants of seventh-level poisonous beasts hidden under the snow-capped mountains. Once a crisis broke out, the grassland might become a Jedi.

The Tuoba clan was arrogant and careless in the face of provocation, which was its fatal weakness.

"On the grassland, there are very few organized forces. Although there were alliances in the past, they were all easily crushed by the Tuoba family. They may think that the Snow Mountain Alliance is nothing more than that."

Liu Chengwu stroked his chin, thinking about how to turn the enemy's neglect and contempt into opportunities.

"It seems that the Snow Mountain Alliance has a chance of winning this battle. We should also consider post-war expansion. You go and contact Red Hair to discuss the possibility of a deal and give up half of the Snow Mountain Tribe's land."

Liu Chengwu raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "Master, Yushan is not a good place. Do you really want to use it as your base?"

Li Changsheng responded seriously: "It is because everyone thinks this place is hopeless that we are given the opportunity to fight for it. There are many secrets hidden in this place, and I am willing to pay a greater price to get Yushan."

Liu Chengwu nodded to show his understanding, and believed that it would not be enough to just fight for it, and that the Snow Mountain Alliance should also be involved to promote the matter with common interests.

Otherwise, even if they captured Yushan, they would still face hostility from the Snow Mountain Clan. Without the protection of the alliance, Yushan would be unable to stand alone against the foreign enemies...
