Morning light, cloudy.

The morning sun is like fire.

The blazing red sun leaped out of the eastern sea, the darkness before sunrise began to fade, and the endless light surged in the gathered clouds, light and darkness intertwined, and with the rising trajectory of the rising sun, the clouds on the entire horizon were illuminated into a brilliant picture of light and darkness.

The light pierced the clouds, pierced through the sky, the gloomy dimness disappeared, and the bright light scattered from the sky, shining on the distant sea, scattered among the green trees and flowers of Long Island, and filling the high-rise buildings in the city, everything seemed to be instantaneous, and it seemed to be incomparably long.

It's another sunny day.

Facing the sunshine of the third day, Li Tianlan slowly stepped across the grass under his feet, his mind calm and tranquil.

The decisive battle is getting closer and closer, and since the end of the first day of the meeting, Li Tianlan seems to have completely let go of everything, not meditating, not studying martial arts, his whole state of mind quickly adjusted, becoming empty and pure, in just one day, he seems to have adjusted himself to the best state.

The early morning wind floated in the air, carrying the fragrance of grass and trees, and Li Tianlan walked unhurriedly up a hillside covered with turf.

This can be said to be one of the highest places in the whole clubhouse, standing on the top of the hill and looking down, most of the entire clubhouse is in full view, the lake in the distance is gently rippling, flowers are swaying, and there are endless people in the leisure area.

Li Tianlan watched quietly, with an inexplicable smile on the corner of his mouth.

Today, Li Tianlan's realm has steadily stopped in the stable period of the Ice Condensing Realm, and under the stimulation of the surge potion, the realm that is manifested is the stable period of the Burning Fire Realm, as for the actual combat effectiveness, in the case of not making an all-out shot, even Li Tianlan himself can't predict it, in the case that the realm and the peerless study have temporarily reached a bottleneck, it is no longer meaningful to meditate and study the peerless realm, at least it is impossible to have a better effect in the upcoming decisive battle, but it will add more psychological burden to himself.

Li Tianlan didn't know when the decisive battle would break out, but he had already decided to relax his mind most completely before the decisive battle broke out, and really adjusted himself to the strongest state to meet everything.

Although his realm is not high, but the inheritance, physique, talent, and will are combined, but no one can ignore the combat power, at the critical moment of the decisive battle, any combat power above the thunder realm must exert its own strength.

"How's we ready?"

Li Tianlan stood on the top of the mountain and looked down, and suddenly asked, his tone soft and calm.

"The last batch of weapons will be in place within twelve hours, going through the special channel of the Reincarnation Palace. ”

Behind him, Youmeng, who was also following the pace, replied seriously, in the case that several Heavenly Kings of the Reincarnation Palace had already left the clubhouse, Sigh City directly gave Li Tianlan the most direct protection, and most of the time, at least one person from Yumeng or Twilight would appear within twenty meters of Li Tianlan at any time, and the time for the two to appear at the same time was even more.

Dreams, Twilight.

In recent years, these are the two most active assassins in the outside world in Sigh City, although they are not masters of the half-step invincible realm, but for assassins, in many cases, the level of the realm is not the most important factor, and now although their ranking on the killer list is not at the forefront, but with their close protection of Li Tianlan, the degree of safety can still be guaranteed.

"Reincarnation Palace..."

Li Tianlan's body stiffened, and after a while, he nodded, and muttered to himself: "Well, the Reincarnation Palace..."

His eyes were still peaceful, but his heart was quietly trembling slightly, and the powerlessness and melancholy that he couldn't grasp and couldn't control swept his nerves in an instant, faint, but so profound.

He and Qin Weibai...

Once again, contact was lost.

The phone didn't work, the video went unanswered, and the message went unanswered.

Dukes, knights, fire, several heavenly kings have completely disappeared, and in a series of schemes in Middle-earth, the entire reincarnation palace seems to have faded into no trace.

Li Tianlan sighed softly, his eyes were in a trance.

In just a few days, invisibly, Qin Weibai seemed to be deliberately erasing all traces of her.

There were no disagreements between the two, there were no quarrels, and when the last video was played, Qin Weibai was still as gentle as water, but in that almost obsessive attachment and tenderness, the two seemed to be drifting apart, everything about the Reincarnation Palace began to leave him, and the City of Sighs appeared beside him.

Li Tianlan didn't know what Qin Weibai was thinking, but in that series of quiet actions, what he felt was not only cruelty, but also determination.

He shook his head, suppressing the turmoil in his heart and calming himself down again.

The extremely closed living environment from childhood to adulthood seems to have imprisoned his heart, whether it is in the primeval forest or in the desert prison, Li Tianlan has his own goals and knows what he should do.

And walked out of the Li camp, came to Huating, faced the general trend in the world, Li Tianlan also had a dazed, apprehensive, even panicked, and inferiority, in this case, he met Qin Weibai, met Yu Donglai, met Li Baitian and Ning Qiancheng, he had his own brothers, had his own woman, saw the turmoil in the world, and imperceptibly, Li Tianlan's apprehension when he first entered the WTO seemed to have completely calmed down, and his road was in front of him.

But now, with the reincarnation palace stripping him out alive, and as Qin Weibai also deliberately cut off contact with him, Li Tianlan realized that what he thought was peace was actually just an illusion, and most of that sense of integration into the outside world was brought to him by Qin Weibai, and when Qin Weibai disappeared, the sense of separation between himself and the whole world suddenly began to reappear, so obvious and clear.

He wasn't apprehensive, but he was at a loss.

He had his own goals, but he didn't know how to do them for a while.

So he is not meditating, he has given up on improving his strength for the time being, he is adjusting his state, and he also wants to seriously think about what he should do next when his heart is at its most peaceful.

Something had to be done!

Have to!

"I should do something. ”

With his back to the dream behind him, Li Tianlan suddenly said calmly.

"What does the young master want to do?"

Youmeng was silent for a few seconds, and then said slowly, "I'm willing to do it for you." ”

"Nope. ”

Li Tianlan shook his head: "I did it, not you." ”

He turned his head, looked at the phantom dream full of doubts on his bewitching face, and smiled slightly: "It's different." ”

Yumeng blinked her bright eyes and didn't speak.

The current Li Tianlan is completely different from the Li Tianlan she saw for the first time, and it can even be said that they are two people.

When I saw him for the first time, the young city lord was calm, but behind that calm, Yu Meng could clearly feel the solemnity and sharpness that rushed to his face.

But now...

He was still calm, but with a sense of real relaxation, he stood there casually, gentle, gentle, all the edges had disappeared, quiet as an abyss, ethereal as mist, calm as ice.

Li Tianlan in this state, every move carries the most essential truth and softness.

The most authentic is often the most overlooked.

All kinds of thoughts flickered in Youmeng's mind, and when she saw the smile that gradually appeared in Li Tianlan's eyes, she was startled.

On the other side, the young city lord who can also be said to be a teenager has eyes as clear as water, but with the power that seems to be able to perceive the soul, soft and warm, which makes people flustered.

"I don't understand what the young master means. ”

Youmeng subconsciously avoided Li Tianlan's gaze and said.

"How am I in Middle-earth now?"

Li Tianlan said softly, as if he was asking about a dream, and as if he was asking himself, he took out a cigarette and lit one, looking at the black wooden box of cigarettes in his hand that belonged to the specialty of the Beihai Wang family, and was stunned.

"It's expensive. ”

Yumeng said without hesitation.

Li Tianlan's current identity may be controversial, but in the shadow of the son of a traitor, there is still the aura of the young city lord of Sigh City.

In Zhongzhou, Sigh City is a well-deserved giant-level power, and the city lord Situ Cangyue is known as the hidden god of Zhongzhou, and is in charge of the sunset, one of the twelve fierce soldiers, even if it is not as good as the Beihai Wang Clan and Kunlun City, it is also a real behemoth.

Li Tianlan is now the young city lord of Sigh City, and one of the three young Tianjiao in Zhongzhou, the weight is definitely not light, and the four words are not exaggerated.

"yes, but don't you think we're too lonely here?"

Li Tianlan's tone was light.

Youmeng raised his eyebrows, and before he could speak, Li Tianlan had already continued to speak: "My background is sensitive, but since I can still be in Dongdao now, it already shows that the high-level has a relatively clear attitude towards this." I had a close relationship with reincarnation before, and the situation was uncertain, so it was reasonable for many people to wait and see. But now it's different, after the meeting the day before yesterday, we divided the defense area, and I became the young city lord of Sigh City again, but these days, how many people have come to visit us Sigh City?"

The dream was thoughtful.

The meeting the day before yesterday, the reincarnation palace military division and the Zhongzhou military god successfully docked, after a careful plan, temporarily divided Changdao into three closely connected defense areas, in order to better deal with the next decisive battle, three defense areas, behind it is actually equivalent to three retreat routes, for the victory before the defeat, this point on the military division and the military god are surprisingly consistent, the planning is also very stable, even if the decisive battle is lost, as long as a defense area is held, it is a retreat for the elite of Zhongzhou, if concentrated together by a net The probability is too great.

Now the three defense areas are closely connected, and the three groups of people can quickly support each other in different places, so that it is impossible for the East Island to use the greatest strength to concentrate on one place to destroy the elite of the Central Continent first, this is not a decisive battle between the two sides after all, but a melee between many parties, in addition to the Central Continent, there is also a team of big dark forces, although the East Island has a home advantage and personnel advantage, but the major forces are eyeing them together, and it is destined that the East Island does not dare to fight a force.

This decisive battle is a defense for the East Island, but for all the forces outside the East Island, it is an offense.

This advance and retreat between offense and defense, at the right time, is enough to create a huge advantage.

The City of Sighs is responsible for the No. 3 Defense Zone, with the club at its feet as the center, closest to the edge of the battlefield, and at the same time, Shushan Mountain is also divided into the No. 3 War Zone along with the City of Sighs.

The Beihai Wang Clan is in charge of the No. 2 Defense Zone, and several Heavenly Kings of the Reincarnation Palace will normally stay in the No. 2 Defense Zone, but they do not belong to a certain area, but provide full-field support.

Kunlun City is in charge of the No. 1 Defense Zone, and the Eastern Theater is also planned within the No. 1 Defense Zone.

The forces involved in the Battle of Long Island are naturally not these Middle-earth forces, on the contrary, there are too many forces and institutions in each other, and it is difficult to discuss the most detailed plan at a meeting, and the high-level forces have only divided the strongest or largest number of forces into three defense zones, and as for the other secret service agencies, they can freely choose their defense zones and wait until the final list of the three defense zones comes out before making adjustments.

Now that the meeting has ended for a day, it is not without forces that have chosen to join the No. 3 Defense Zone, but in comparison, there are far more people who have chosen to enter the No. 2 Defense Zone and the No. 1 Defense Zone.

In Li Tianlan's view, this is not a normal phenomenon at all.

In Central Continent, Kunlun City and Beihai Wang Clan are indeed stronger than Sigh City, but this is East Island, and the decisive battle is imminent, depending on the strength of the major forces in East Island.

If you really want to compare, the strength of Sigh City in the East Island is not weaker than the other two defense districts at all.

At least in terms of the top masters, the Tribulation of the Shadow King, who is known as the King of Shadows in the dark world, is slightly stronger than the firmament of the second defense area and the ancient town east of the first defense area.

In terms of strength and prestige, the only one who can compare with the robbery is General Jiuxiao, Gongsun Qi, codenamed Qinglong.

But Gongsun Qi and his terracotta army were destined to stay in a defensive area, after all, they were the most aggressive special team.

At least in Li Tianlan's opinion, if you really compare the forces invested by several major forces in Dongdao, even if Sigh City can't be said to be stronger than the Beihai Wang Clan, at least it won't be weaker than the Beihai Wang Clan, but it is stronger than Kunlun City.

This is also what makes Li Tianlan a little confused.

This time, Kunlun City is strongly supported, and it can even be said that it is the main promoter, Kunlun City established the Snow Dance Legion, and Gu Qianchuan, a master of the invincible realm, served as the commander of the legion, and went to Northern Europe, the investment is not small, but when it comes to the East Island, Kunlun City's investment is not much.

The invincible realm master is in the east of the ancient town.

Ice Frost Sword.

Gu Yunxia.

Plus the ancient Han Mountain.

This seems to be the main high-end power.

And the most bizarre thing is that the top management has also acquiesced to this list with very little investment.

The reasons for this are worth pondering.

Li Tianlan didn't want to think too deeply, he only knew that when Kunlun City's investment in Dongdao was not as good as that of Sigh City, there were many more people willing to join the No. 1 Defense Zone than those who were willing to join the No. 3 Defense Zone, which was enough to explain the problem.

This even shows that many people don't recognize themselves, and they don't recognize the willingness of Sigh City to accept themselves, and even let themselves be young city lords.

This may involve positions and grievances, but the most obvious thing is that they are not optimistic about the City of Sighs, in the final analysis, it is only because they have become the young city lord of the City of Sighs.

The aura on his head now, or his own strength, seems to be weaker than the other two young Tianjiao.

So Li Tianlan must do something, at least in this decisive battle, he must make enough convincing results.

For Li Tianlan, this point is crucial to his development after returning to Middle-earth.

"If I go to fight Wang Shengxiao now and I can win against him, it is estimated that there will be a lot more people willing to join the No. 3 Defense Zone. ”

Li Tianlan was silent for a while, and then said with a smile.

The dream was slightly startled.

Wang Shengxiao of the Beihai Wang Clan, although he is also known as one of the three young Tianjiao in Zhongzhou today, but in the hearts of more people, he has become the leader of the younger generation in Zhongzhou, a thunder realm Tianjiao with wind and thunder veins and top inheritance, such a character, even if he dreams of it, he is under pressure.

The young city lord is still a few years younger after all.

"Can you win?"

Yumeng bit her red lip and asked softly.

"It's not a life-and-death battle, it's just a simple competition, no. ”

Li Tianlan shook his head, very honest.

"Why be anxious to learn, the future of Zhongzhou is destined to be your world in the future, and when you return to Zhongzhou, if you want to have an opportunity, I don't think Shengxiao will refuse." ”

A loud laugh suddenly sounded at the bottom of the mountain, heroic and free.

Li Tianlan raised his eyebrows and turned his head to look down.

In his sight, a muscular man was walking towards the hillside, looking at him with a smile.

The man's appearance is handsome, about forty years old, his whole body is full of masculinity, he looks domineering and strong, he is dressed in civilian clothes, but he walks like a dragon and a tiger, completely like a capable soldier, Li Tianlan frowned, and his eyes subconsciously fell on his chest and shoulders.

The man did not have epaulettes on his shoulders, but he had a vague mark on his chest, like a dagger, very faint and vague, with only a faint outline.

"General Wang? ”

Li Tianlan knew it in his heart, and said hello with a smile.

In the entire dark world, only one army in Middle-earth would use such a vague mark.

That's the shadow stab of the special forces known as the largest in Middle-earth!

Although the Shadow Thorn Force is a special force, it has always been under the dual management of the Military Department and Kunlun City, and it has a very heavy weight in the Zhongzhou special operations system.

The handsome man in his prime is undoubtedly one of the core figures of the Beihai Wang Clan, Lieutenant General Wang Zhaoliang, the leader of the shadow assassination force.

The Beihai Wang clan is extremely complex, a super giant that has always been in its heyday, the internal is not as simple as one generation or two generations, except for Wang Tianzong's lineage, there are more than ten side branches, and each side branch is extremely prosperous, adding up to hundreds of people, it is a real family, Wang Zhaoliang and the Beihai Wang family's lineage is only far away in terms of blood relationship, but he has a close personal relationship with Wang Xiaoyao, Wang Shengxiao is also extremely polite to him, no matter what the occasion, he will shout the sixth uncle, his status in the Beihai Wang clan is self-evident。

And in the call with Principal Zhuang Huayang, Li Tianlan also specially heard Zhuang Huayang mention Wang Zhaoliang and the Shadow Thorn Force, it is said that Wang Zhaoliang once received the guidance of Master Wuwei, since he was young, he can be said to have been on the rise, and he still has the potential to rise, this time if Wang Shengxiao fails to compete for the position of Kyushu General of the Terracotta Army, after a few more years, the Beihai Wang clan is very likely to let Wang Shengxiao control the Shadow Thorn Force, and push Wang Zhaoliang up.

For such a person in the Beihai Wang family, although he does not belong to the lineage but is better than the lineage, Li Tianlan naturally will not be careless, shook hands with Wang Zhaoliang, and he took the initiative to speak again: "Is the general here for a walk?"

"It's a nice day and it's a good place to walk, but where do I have the skills?"

Wang Zhaoliang smiled and said, "I came to you on a special trip." ”

Li Tianlan's expression did not move, he kept calm, and said with a gentle smile: "What's the matter with the general?"

"The Shadow Assassin Force has formed an alliance with Li Shao, I don't know what happened to Li Shaoyi?"

Wang Zhaoliang is a standard soldier, with a straightforward temperament, and he likes to be heroic and straight to the point, but his words have quite deep meaning.

It was the Shadow Assassins who allied themselves with him.

And not the Beihai Wang.

But in fact, the Shadow Thorn Force has always been considered to be part of the Beihai Wang's investment in the East Island this time, and they have also been naturally assigned to the No. 2 defense area that the Beihai Wang's is responsible for.

What is the significance of this alliance?

Between the North Sea Kings and the City of Sighs is a Shadow Thorn Force.

Is this alliance the goodwill of the Beihai Wang Clan?

It's just that the Beihai Wang clan stayed out of the matter, but it was offensive and defensible, how sincere can such goodwill be?

Li Tianlan's eyes narrowed, and he said with a smile: "I will seriously consider the general's suggestion." I don't know what the general means by forming an alliance..."

"Naturally, it is the ally that prioritizes support at the first time, and also shares some resources and intelligence. ”

Wang Zhaoliang has a loud voice.

Li Tianlan's heart moved, and he was silent.

As the Beihai Wang Clan, which still occupies a large part of the territory of the East Island, their infiltration on the East Island can be described as quite terrifying, and they are particularly strong in intelligence, and although Li Tianlan is now the young city lord of Sigh City, if he wants to use the special channel of reincarnation, there is no problem, and this kind of sharing does not seem to be harmful.

It's just that the kindness of the Beihai Wang clan this time is really a little inexplicable, at this stage, is there really any information that needs to be shared?

Or is it that the information he needs is not about Higashijima?

The cold light in Li Tianlan's eyes flashed away.

Did the Beihai Wang clan notice something, or did they want to use the guise of sharing intelligence to touch the bottom of the special channel of reincarnation?

"In terms of intelligence, the foundation of Sigh City in the East Island is a little weak, and I am afraid that it will not be able to help the Shadow Assassin Army. However, in terms of resources and support, we are willing to ally with the general. ”

Li Tianlan was silent for a while, and said in a steady tone.

The strange brilliance in Wang Zhaoliang's eyes flickered, and he seemed to want to say something, but in the end he endured it and said with a smile: "Yes." The weapon resources of the Shadow Thorn Force, if Li Shao has something to look at, even if he speaks, we are willing to exchange. If the City of Sighs is in need, we will be the first to help. ”

Li Tianlan nodded and snorted.

Several Heavenly Kings of reincarnation sit in the No. 2 defense area in the middle, but they can't regard the reincarnation Heavenly Kings as people in the No. 2 Defense Zone, they are destined to wander the whole field, and everyone, including Li Tianlan himself, also believes that if he encounters difficulties, the reincarnation of several Heavenly Kings will definitely come to support desperately as soon as possible, Li Tianlan doesn't know if the Beihai Wang Clan has noticed something strange, but at least, this alliance, they hope to get the support of the Reincarnation Heavenly King to a certain extent, of course, in exchange, the support of the Shadow Thorn Force is also extremely important for Sigh City。

"That's... Li Shao, let's have a good cooperation?"

Wang Zhaoliang smiled and stretched out his hand: "In addition, someone asked me to bring you a message." ”

He lowered his voice slightly and continued: "Don't look at the low investment in Kunlun City this time, in fact, on the surface, in terms of investment, they have the largest investment in Dongdao. Li Shao, be careful. ”

Li Tianlan's eyes suddenly became deeper, he looked at Wang Zhaoliang for a long time, and then said slowly: "Who asked you to bring me the news?"

Wang Zhaoliang smiled but did not speak.

"Reincarnation?"

Li Tianlan's eyes became more and more condensed.

Wang Zhaoliang laughed, said happy cooperation, and turned around to go down the mountain.

Li Tianlan looked at his back silently and didn't speak for a long time.

"Young Master, the Beihai Wang Clan can't easily believe it... I've received some cryptic messages. It is said that the Beihai Wang Clan and Kunlun City seem to be planning something, and a large part of the reason should be aimed at you. ”

Youmeng stood behind Li Tianlan and spoke.

Li Tianlan waved his hand, silently took out his mobile phone, and opened the communication software.

Qin Weibai's account is still lying in the address book, still the same avatar, quietly, unchanged.

White paper, light and delicate two lines of small print.

"Who are you?"

"Whoever I am is you. ”

Li Tianlan was silent, his fingers moving, and he typed slowly.

"The news of Kunlun City, did you tell me through Wang Zhaoliang?"

No response.

Li Tianlan did not give up and continued to type: "Don't worry about anything, I know what to do." ”

"Isn't it true that if I were strong enough, everything wouldn't be like this today?"

"I'm going to be stronger. Become the strongest. ”

Still no response.

And at the top of Li Tianlan's message, there are three words sent by Qin Weibai, and he has not responded.

"I miss you so much. ”

Li Tianlan took a deep breath, suddenly smiled, and typed: "The woman who made several invincible giants in the dark world dream of was taken by me as soon as I met, and I have been on it several times, Xiaobai, do you think I am the strongest?"

The phone vibrates.

Qin Weibai finally had a reply, two simple words: bad guy.

Li Tianlan laughed, put away his mobile phone, and looked into the sky.

In the sunlight of the third day, he could clearly feel that something was approaching.

Getting closer.
