"Things may not be as simple as imagined." Ye Guan frowned slightly and said softly, "Shen Tuyan's actions do more harm than good. If he is not sure that he can withstand the attack, he will definitely not do this."

Hearing Ye Guan's words, Huang Yongning fell into deep thought. As he passed by, Shen Tuyan's actions were somewhat contrary to common sense. If he had forcibly summoned the people into the army before, in order to siege the rest of his life, then the people in Wacheng would be slaughtered, except that they could cause some rumors and accidents to the Eastern Palace and would not constitute a direct threat, but Shen Tuyan did this, which would have to be thought-provoking.

"Brother Yu, before, Shen Tuyan has been following you?" Huang Yongning thought for a moment and confirmed to Yu Sheng again.

"It should be followed." Yu Sheng replied, "The battle in Changxiangcheng was fierce. I used all my skills to spit out the siege and severely damaged Shen Tuyan's troops. At that time, I didn't know that Wufeng City had surrendered, and Shen Tuyan would definitely pursue him relentlessly."

Huang Yongning nodded slightly. He suddenly thought about something he had expected. He turned to look at Ye Guan, and Ye Guan also looked at him at the same time.

The two saw a trace of doubt in each other's eyes.

"Didn't it..." Huang Yongning thought of a possibility that he was very reluctant to accept.

"Analysis now, this may be true." Ye Guan sighed lightly and said helplessly, "Why did Tianqing City choose to set up a formation at this time? This may be telling us something in a vague way."

Yu Sheng was slightly stunned when he heard this. In his impression, a secular city as unrestrained as Tianqing City would not participate in the secular battle for hegemony, let alone warn him directly.

"I went to Tianqing City before, and I had some analysis." Ye Guan continued, "The Lord of Tianqing City may have an opponent of the same level as him, and this person may be related to Shen Tuyan. There have been incidents of murder in the enclave that pretended to be the Dongwang Mansion, which may be related to this person."

"Senior Ye." Yu Sheng was a little surprised. He understood what Ye Guan meant, but he didn't believe it very much. He did not think that monks at the Venerable level would be interested in secular hegemony. For their long lifespan, a dynasty could not bring anything to them. Moreover, establishing a dynasty or empire would undoubtedly involve many troublesome matters. For a venerable, it would affect their cultivation.

"What do you mean is that the opponent of the Lord of Tianqing City, have you stepped forward to deal with our Dongwang Mansion? What's the benefit of doing this? If he wants to be the Lord of this enclave, would he still have to spend so much effort?"

Yu Sheng expressed his doubts in his heart. For monks at the Venerable level, everything in the world is extremely attractive to them. In their eyes, they value the most are two points. One is that the place where natural power is abundant, which can be used for daily practice, and the other is to seek opportunities to break through the ethereal realm of the Supreme Lord to gain greater power and a longer life span, so as to explore the secrets of the world.

A dynasty or empire often cannot satisfy their situation. First, a place with abundant natural power often requires the arrangement of the Juyuan Cave Formation. Such a formation cannot be arranged by ordinary monks. Even if it is arranged, for the Venerable level monks, the gathering of natural power is a drop in the bucket. Secondly, in the process of establishing an empire, the troublesome trivial matters will inevitably drag down the Venerable's cultivation, which is not only not

It can help them make breakthroughs in their cultivation, but may instead stagnate their cultivation.

This is also one of the reasons why most cultivators with advanced cultivation are unwilling to interfere in secular trivial matters. Cultivators pay attention to cause and effect. The more secular things they come into contact with, the more cause and effect they will naturally involve. This is of no benefit to powerful people who are determined to pursue advanced cultivation.

However, there is already a Tianqing City in the enclave. Within a radius of thousands of miles, there is no place with a natural power concentration comparable to that of Shangtianqing City, let alone within the enclave.

If it is not good for cultivation, then there is basically no such thing as the venerable of Tianqing City.

This is something I have never figured out for the rest of my life.

Before, in Tianqing City, Yu Sheng and Ye Guan both guessed that Tian Shun, the lord of Tianqing City, might have a rival of the same level, and this person may have descendants serving in the enclave.

Therefore, Ye Guancai said that he had reached a tacit understanding with the Lord of Tianqing. The Eastern Palace was responsible for gathering the enclaves, while the Lord of Tianqing was responsible for checking and balancing the powerful power of the Venerable and not allowing him to intervene directly.

But now Ye Guan and Huang Yongning began to suspect that there was a powerful venerable behind Shen Tuyan, and the things Shen Tuyan did were probably related to the venerable behind this, which made Yu Sheng a little confused.

"I don't want to think so." Ye Guan looked at Yu Sheng and whispered, "If you don't get rid of all the impossible, the rest is the only possibility. Lord Yu, you have fought with Shen Tuyan head-on, and you should be very clear in your heart. How is Shen Tuyan's troops compared to my Eastern Palace?"

"Of course, it's not as good as my black armored iron cavalry." Yu Sheng said, "I can defend an empty city with thousands of soldiers for a few days, and I can know one or two."

Ye Guan frowned slightly and said softly, "Before, I always felt that the proportion of the battle loss in battle was a bit exaggerated. My Dongwang Mansion is a lion of a hundred battles, but it is a bit exaggerated to compete with the elite troops of the enclaves head-on, and it can even be used as one to ten combat power, which is a bit exaggerated."

Yu Sheng heard Ye Guan say this, and couldn't help feeling a little displeased and said, "Senior Ye suspects that I have lied about military affairs? In the Battle of Changxiangcheng, all my subordinates tried their best to achieve such results. The battle was fierce. My own escort team was killed and one injured. In the end, they only surveyed and broke through the siege. The sacrifices they made were futile?"

Yu Sheng said these words a little bit polite. The battle in Changxiangcheng was very fierce, and Huang Yuchen was seriously injured and dying. Now Ye Guan began to suspect that the war had been damaged, which made Yu Sheng feel very uncomfortable.

"Mr. Yu is too worried, I don't mean that." Ye looked at Yu Sheng and continued, "The authorities are confused. Master Yu is from the perspective of others. He thinks about it. Tens of thousands of soldiers besieged an isolated city. The walls are short and even disrepaired, and they have several times the strength of the opponent. If Lord Yu leads you, how to fight this siege?"

"Siege the city, siege equipment hit the city wall, and wait until the city is broken..." Yu Sheng said a few words along Ye Guan's question, and then suddenly felt something was wrong, and he couldn't help but frown slightly and stopped talking.

Ye watched Yu Sheng's appearance and continued, "The Lord Yu is right. If you follow the normal siege method, your strategy is obviously the most practical. With several times the opponent's strength, enough equipment, and sufficient food and supplies, you just need to siege the opponent and eat it.

When the city wall is broken, you can kill the enemy in one fell swoop, but Shen Tuyan did not do that. Lord Yu, don’t you think there is anything strange about this?”

Yu Sheng heard Ye Guan's words and frowned. When he was fighting in Changxiangcheng before, he felt that the other party's general's way of siege was not right. However, at that time, he only felt that the other party was trying to use his own vitality, so he didn't think much about it. He just used the formation set up by Huang Yuchen to break through the siege in one fell swoop. Today, after Ye Guan said this, he suddenly had an idea in his mind, but this idea seemed to be a fantasy, which made him not believe it very much.

"Senior Ye, what do you mean..." Huang Yongning listened quietly, thinking in his heart. When Ye Guan said this, he naturally had an answer in his heart. When he thought of this answer, he felt a little shocked.

"There are countless ways to cultivate Dou Qi. Not only is it a way of cultivation, but there are also many types of Dou Qi attributes. The venerable does not value power and status, but there is one thing they absolutely value, and even regards it as life." A brilliant light burst out in Ye Guan's eyes, and he said "cultivation."

When Ye Guan said this, Yu Sheng and Huang Yongning thought of something in their minds.

Death breath.

Only by cultivating death energy can a large number of newly dead people be required to refine death energy through special methods with the breath emitted by the dead people.

If this person who practices the dead energy has reached the level of the Venerable, then the creatures that need to be slaughtered every time they practice and condense the dead energy will require a huge amount.

Yu Sheng and Huang Yongning's eyes were filled with horror.

Ye Guan’s meaning is already very clear. Shen Tuyan and Yu Sheng confront each other and attack each other. The purpose is not to kill Yu Sheng’s troops, but to strive to create more dead bodies to the greatest extent, thereby gathering the dead energy.

In other words, the person behind Shen Tuyan is practicing death energy.

If this is true, the messages about the East Prince's Mansion in the enclave, the frequent incidents of killing the people, the previous battle of Changxiangcheng, and the subsequent massacre of the city of Wacheng will be explained.

The powerful behind Shen Tuyan is an extremely powerful master in cultivating death energy. Moreover, he may now reach the critical moment of breakthrough and needs a lot of death energy.

As a result, after planning, a war between the Enclave and the Eastern Palace was led to. At any time, the casualties caused by daily killings were far less than a war. Through the mutual attack between the Enclave and the Eastern Palace, and the addition of Shen Tuyan in it, everything was explained.

"When Shen Tuyan confronted the city of Yu, he forced the people to go to the battlefield. He knew that they would not have any effect, but kept forcing them to recruit them. This was simply to let them die." Ye Guan whispered, "Not to mention the difficulty of forcing the people, the normal weapons and equipment needed by these soldiers alone are not a small number, and even for Shen Tuyan, it is not something that can be easily taken out. Even so, he still did this. It can be seen that Shen Tuyan is not a man who competes with the Dongwang Mansion for his own selfish interests. Behind him, there must be a master who cultivates death energy, and this master must have something to do with Tianqing City."

Speaking of this, Ye Guan's eyes flashed with light.
