Chapter 1298: Confrontation and Cooperation
At this moment, Yu Ling was walking leisurely through the bustling and noisy streets of the Southern Phoenix Star King City, and then stepped into a seemingly ordinary inn without notice.
"I didn't expect Your Excellency to be so bold that you really accepted our invitation. ”
When Yu Ling came to a seemingly ordinary box, the first thing he saw was a man in red sitting at the table, with a smiling expression on his face, like a poisonous snake that had tried its best to restrain its cold and murderous aura, but it still gave people a dangerous and deadly feeling.
And in the corner of the wall stood an acquaintance with an expressionless face, Wu Youqiu.
"Elder Tang came to Nanhuangxing in person, and he was also quite courageous. Yu Ling's gaze did not shy away.
The death of Rui Yagong can be described as a major event that caused a sensation in the entire southern realm, even if the Fire Refining Sect was in a remote Great Wilderness Star, but when Wu Youqiu appeared in front of Guan Yiqing with Fu Jirui and the others, the high-level leaders of the Fire Refining Sect naturally knew about the changes that had happened here.
I have to say that in the case of early preparation, the Ruiya Fu clan was not fundamentally hit, their three True Dao Realm powerhouses withdrew in advance with the Fu clan's heritage, and escorted Fu Jirui and other descendants to the Great Wilderness Star, even Guan Yiqing did not dare to snub them.
Although this is a group of refugees, don't forget that it was under the pressure of the entire southern realm, and under the pressure of more than thirty True Dao realm powerhouses, that the Rhea Fu clan ended up like this.
However, the main force of the Fu clan still exists, so Guan Yiqing still regards them as cooperative allies, rather than defectors.
The only thing that has changed is the primary and secondary relationship between the two sides, before Guan Yiqing begged for the cooperation of the Ruiya Fu Clan, and now the three true path masters of the Fu Clan took the initiative to ask for cooperation with the Fire Refining Sect to help them stabilize their position, and even prepare for the great cause of revenge in the future.
If it weren't for the fact that the Nanhuang Star Palace had a peerless formation laid down by generations of Southern Kings, even the peak powerhouses of the True Dao would not be able to break through, otherwise the three ancestors of the Fu clan would want to directly kill the palace and take the head of the Nanyan River.
However, Yu Chen also expected this, so after the thief order was issued, he asked Nan Yanhe to stay in the palace honestly and not run around, although this ban is likely to be banned for many years, but nothing is as important as a small life, and Nan Yanhe also knows the priorities.
Guan Yiqing agreed to Ruiya Fu's request with a mouthful of words, and on the other hand, asked them to be calm and not impatient, and secretly called Wu Youqiu for a long talk.
Wu Youqiu hesitated again and again, and finally honestly explained Yuling's affairs, but hid some details.
Guan Yiqing didn't punish him, but just specially convened an emergency meeting with the high-level of the Fire Refining Sect, first spent an hour guessing the identity of "Wen Li", and after no result, he began to discuss some practical matters, and finally decided that Wu Youqiu was responsible for contacting Yuling and sending Tang Zhanrun and others to the southern border.
So the two sides had this meeting.
The reason why Yuling came over was to make sure of some things, for example, Tang Zhanrun was really not dead.
Last time in the Sea of Blood, Yu Ling took so much effort to knock Tang Zhanrun into the vesicle, it seems that the people of the Tianxue Sect let him go after all, maybe he had a smooth negotiation with Pei Tianling, so he sold him face by the way?
But it doesn't matter, with Yuling's current strength, there is no need for any conspiracy in the face of Tang Zhanrun, so his words are also sharp.
Tang Zhanrun couldn't help but sneer: "Heh, what about Nanhuangxing? As long as it is in this box, it is our home field." Also, how do you know my surname is Tang? Have you seen it before?"
Yu Ling directly ignored Tang Zhanrun's question: "If Elder Tang came all the way to fight just to fight, then I will accompany him to the end." ”
"Your Excellency is here alone, your tone is not small, you are afraid that you have not heard of it, my Fire Refining Sect has never accepted any form of threat. Tang Zhanrun narrowed his eyes, and the murderous aura permeated the air gloomily, and for a while, the whole house was like a cold winter.
At the same time, Wu Youqiu and several other Gu Yuan elders also looked up at Yu Ling silently, forming a silent oppression from all directions.
If it were an ordinary cultivator, I am afraid that I would not be able to move in this situation, but Yu Ling picked up the teacup lightly, took a sip of tea as if nothing happened, and the big cycle moved slightly, and all the pressure rebounded back.
"Hum—"
Under the collision of the two forces, all the items in the room were violently trembling, the vase bonsai rose slightly off the ground, and even the air was distorted to a certain extent.
Several Gu Yuan elders couldn't help but turn pale, and those who were weaker in cultivation even involuntarily retreated a few steps, and the blood had already gushed up to their throats, but they were endured back alive.
And Tang Zhanrun, who bore the brunt of the attack, was even more bright-eyed, he put down the teacup heavily, and made a muffled "bang" sound, ending this exchange of breaths.
"Your Excellency. Tang Zhanrun slowly withdrew his Xuan Li, and his smile was cold.
Yu Ling also accepted it when he saw it, after all, the vitality of the martial artist was extremely strong, even if he could defeat Tang Zhanrun, but he couldn't kill him easily, at present, it was not cost-effective to tear his face with them, and his foreshadowing in the early stage was in vain.
"Elder Tang is also worthy of being the first person under immortality. Yuling smiled sarcastically and sipped her tea unhurriedly.
"Aren't you afraid that the tea is poisonous?" Tang Zhanrun said lightly.
"That's okay. "Yuling's soul power swept away and knew that Tang Zhanrun was bluffing him, but even if it was poisonous, it didn't matter.
Tang Zhanrun couldn't help but tug at the corners of his mouth: "It's a refreshing person, but it's a pity that he has a different position, and he can only be an enemy after all." ”
"Since Elder Tang has made up his mind to be an enemy, then why bother to come to me?" Yu Ling said casually.
Tang Zhanrun was silent for a few seconds, and suddenly asked, "What is your relationship with Western Union?"
Yu Ling's heart jumped, almost thinking that Tang Zhanrun had discovered some flaw, but on the surface, he was still calm and flat: "What does Elder Tang hope for?"
Tang Zhanrun stared at him steadily: "It's a pity, you are on the side of the royal family, and now the royal family has been tied to the Western Union, otherwise, if you are willing to help deal with the Western Union, it will save me a lot of trouble." ”
"I'm disappointed Elder Tang, but long-term friends can't do it, and short-term ones can still be considered. Isn't it a pleasure to cooperate like Rhea Gong?"
"We just wanted you to put a little pressure on Rui Yagong, but we didn't expect you to kill the Fu clan directly. ”
"Elder Tang said with a smile, the Fu Clan's heritage still exists, and the three True Dao Ancestors have all gone to your Fire Refining Sect, isn't this equivalent to having an ally who is desperate for nothing? ”
Tang Zhanrun snorted coldly: "You get more benefits, right? If the Phyria Fu clan has the back path of my Fire Refining Sect, they have a good chance of choosing to fight the royal family to the end, and when the time comes, unless all the members of the royal family shrink in the palace, otherwise a high-ranking official will die when it comes out, I think who can't hold it after a long time? But now, it is impossible for the Fu clan to openly return to the southern border, only Haiming, Shang Yun, and Tianshang are left with three legs, and there are repeated frictions in order to carve up the territory of the Duke of Ruiya, and the royal family can fish in troubled waters. ”
"Tsk, I didn't expect Elder Tang to have a good understanding of the southern pattern, and it seems that he did his homework in advance. That Ming people don't say secret words, what is Elder Tang's next plan?"
"I'm afraid the top three Grand Dukes are still not interested in dealing with us, and the royal family is not capable of dealing with them at this stage, right?" Tang Zhanrun tapped lightly on the table.
"That's right, the annihilation of the princes is by no means a goal that can be achieved in a short period of time, what the royal family can do now is to preserve itself, wait for the internal friction between the grand dukes, and at the same time try to win over some of the big chambers of commerce and the princes as much as possible. ”
"If that's the case, it's easy to do, we'll go to some low-ranking Grand Dukes and the stronger Hou Bo, we might as well let them merge as well, and then the winner will become a friend of the royal family and strengthen your alliance, and the loser will defect to my Fire Refining Sect, so that we can have the best of both worlds." Are you interested in participating in such a plan?" Tang Zhanrun smiled warmly.
"I want to hear about it. Yu Ling bowed slightly.
An hour later.
Yu Ling changed her face and left the box silently, as if she had never appeared.
And Tang Zhanrun stared at his disappearing back, his eyes flashing with the light of a yin owl.
"Envoy Tang, are you really not going to do it?" a Gu Yuan elder couldn't help but ask.
Although Tang Zhanrun is one of the three deputy envoys of the Heavenly Ministry, whoever is tired of being alive for a day will add the word "deputy".
Tang Zhanrun didn't say a word, as if he could penetrate the wall and look straight at Yuling.
After a long time, he waved his hand and said, "No, let's go and see Changgong." ”
"That man is strong, but we may not be ......"
Tang Zhanrun glared at him coldly: "Just let me say it, that Wen Li...... Let's call it that, he is not as simple as it seems, I am afraid that the powerhouse of the Immortal Realm will have to take action in person to have a certain certainty that he can be suppressed. ”
"Sure?" everyone couldn't help but look at each other.
"Let's go, I will tell the sect master about this matter today, our biggest enemy is always Xue Feng, since this Wen Li didn't tear his face on the spot, let's cooperate with them first to try it, anyway, it won't be a loss." Tang Zhanrun flicked his sleeve robe and strode out of the room.
