Chapter 3435: Basalt

Inside the eight-fold gate, an extremely fierce confrontation broke out.
This confrontation is difficult to describe. It was an open and secret struggle between many Taishang elders and some disciples on the world rankings. The process lasted for three months. The content was mutual questioning, attacking, squeezing, and bribery. and many more.
This confrontation has changed several times between tangible and intangible, so that it has alarmed several great elders with titles and real power, forcing them to quell the confrontation, so as not to cause unacceptable consequences.
What caused this confrontation? No one knows.
Everyone can only guess that this is the result of the fierce battle for the sovereign.
After the end of the three-month confrontation, everything seemed to be back to its original state. No important figures fell, and no figures rose. Everything seemed to have never happened. It seems that all parties finally found that it was better to maintain a balance.
Only a few interested people have discovered that the confrontation does not lead to nothing.
A supreme elder who had been put under house arrest as a victim was released.
Chen Qin.
When Zheer Xingda heard the news, he was exhausted from the three-month eight-fold battles, lying on his jade mat, just frowned and said a few words: "Call the wind and call the rain."
This confrontation looks like the final result is average.
But not so.
This is actually a war of attrition.
Although the process of confrontation was chaotic, the parties knew that the confrontation was actually Fang Haoyun's faction. A duel with all other factions capable of fighting for the supremacy can be understood as a distinct one-on-one.
Since the duel is average to the end, there is only one way to judge the outcome of this duel, and that is the energy and financial resources consumed by both sides.
But it is difficult to figure out how much was consumed.
Accompanied by many disciples, Chen Qin returned to his mountain quietly. It was Meng Fan and An Xiaokang who were waiting to meet him.
Chen Qin, who had been under house arrest for more than two years, looked very good, and smiled after seeing Meng Fan.
Meng Fan also smiled slightly.
After a simple settling, Meng Fan, Chen Qin, and An Xiaokang were drinking tea in a pavilion, while other disciples, disciples, and elders were chatting and laughing outside, even if they were washing the dust for Chen Qin.
Meng Fan slowly filled a cup of tea and handed it to Chen Qin.
"The three-month confrontation is actually a war of attrition, which consumes energy and financial resources.
The so-called energy is time and character. In this respect, Fang Haoyun’s people make money. He fights the four factions in one party. Even though it seems that the strength is equal, it is not true. Whose heart is the same for one person and four people? "
Meng Fan's words made Chen Qin nod slightly.
An Xiaokang was silent, obviously thinking.
"When the confrontation becomes very anxious, the five factions all want to preserve their strength. I hope that one faction and Fang Haoyun will fight for the fisherman's profit. Of course, the four factions' supreme elders and disciples are not stupid. It’s a great man, and he knows the result of the split when confronting Fang Haoyun, so they try their best to maintain the alliance between the four factions, but this is too difficult. Even if they do, they will always be loose. After all They all have their own interests, and everyone understands that if Fang Haoyun is not there, their enemy is the other party. After all, there is only one suzerain. This kind of alliance is not reliable.
This is the loss of energy and character.
Finally, financial resources.
The loss of financial resources, the two sides are almost equal. I can’t calculate a specific number, but I probably know that Fang Haoyun spent the equivalent of 1.3 million top-grade tenth-class pill in these three months, and the other four The total loss of pie may be about two million. "
"It's worth it." Chen Qin said: "It's worth using these financial resources to create rifts between the four and five factions and make their alliance rift."
"Of course it's worth it." Meng Fan smiled. "I will also give them one million top-grade tenth-class pill."
Chen Qin was stunned.
Meng Fan stood up: "Elder Chen, since you are back, please take a rest. I also hope that our people will continue to be low-key and forbearing. But I can't stay for a long time. One million top-grade tenth-class pills need to be refined. Long time."
After that, Meng Fan has disappeared.
Resolutely.
Chen Qin was dumbfounded.
For a long time, An Xiaokang said, "I still remember the scene when I led him to the entrance outside the first door."
A few days later, Meng Fan drew a flag.
This is a red flag with a huge turtle painted on it.
This tortoise has heavy armor and many edges and corners. Its four legs are like Optimus Prime, and its head is like a dragon that wants to swallow the sky. It is wide open. Seeing this flag makes people feel a little scared.
Soon, this banner appeared on the peaks of many disciples and elders, and these disciples and elders were all of the Chen family.
Including the residences of Chen Qin and An Xiaokang.
Meng Fan said that the beast he "created" was called Xuanwu.
No one would dare to mock Chen's people with the word tortoise. Such mockery would seem ridiculous.
When the banner was hung in his mansion, Chen Qin said a word to a disciple beside him, which was also recorded.
"Many years later, the people of the Zongmen will remember that a fierce confrontation took place in the eight-fold gate, and some people will find Wei Young's actions in a few words."
For a year after the end of the confrontation, the nine-fold gate was very quiet. Because of this confrontation, several factions did lose a lot of vitality.
And the Chen family still acted low-key.
The only difference is that Meng Fan and his Azure Dragon Mountain Range are growing stronger day by day.
A full year after the end of the confrontation, Meng Fan gave Fang Haoyun a big gift, one million top-grade tenth-class pill.
This is really generous.
Immediately afterwards, Meng Fan gave another big gift.
He challenged the world ranking fourth, Little Stone Soul.
Little Stone Soul, the God King of Seven Tribulations, is also one of the five major factions, a possible heir to the future sovereign, and an opponent of Fang Haoyun.
The duel between Meng Fan and Little Stone Soul lasted nine hours, but the result was a draw. According to the rules of the world ranking, Xiao Shi Soul kept his fourth place in the world ranking.
But in fact, this is not the case.
Little Stone Soul was seriously injured.
Meng Fan was also injured, but compared with Little Stone Soul, it was much lighter. In fact, in the end, if Meng Fan is willing, if he insists on fighting, in less than half an hour, Little Stone Soul will be completely defeated, and he will also be ranked from the world. Falling down, but Meng Fan didn't do it. He clicked until he reached the point, and it made the average.
This incident shocked everyone even more. It meant that Meng Fan was fully capable of standing fourth in the world rankings. As a result, the five major factions that were originally opposed to each other would lose their balance, and the factions represented by Little Stone Soul would be greatly affected. The big weakening is a great thing for Haoyun.
Meng Fan didn't do this. Because of his serious injury, Little Stone Soul declared a hundred years of retreat and pleaded for a hundred years of war.
Meng Fan's actions let Fang Haoyun know that he is capable of knocking out an opponent for Fang Haoyun.
