c_t; In a palace at the outer gate, Lu Feichen and Lu Mengyao's father and daughter sat opposite each other. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Without waiting for Lu Mengyao to ask, Lu Feichen took the initiative to speak, and said, "Mengyao, do you know why Zhang Luliang, an outer deacon, is worthy of letting the inner door elder intervene, and I can't deal with him?"

Hearing her father mention this matter, Lu Mengyao was slightly stunned, of course she remembered that it was because Zhang Luliang secretly attacked Luo Xiu during the assessment, this kind of behavior was already a violation of the rules, and her father, as the master of the outer gate, personally ordered him to be imprisoned in a water prison, abolished his cultivation, and suffered from piercing the pipa bone.

But as soon as Zhang Luliang was imprisoned in the water prison, someone held the hand of the elder of the inner gate and asked for his release, and the status of the elder of the inner gate was higher than that of the master of the outer gate, so Lu Feichen could only release him.

"My daughter didn't understand. Lu Mengyao shook her head suspiciously.

The status of the elders of the inner gate is higher than that of the lord of the outer gate, and Zhang Luliang is only a deacon of the outer gate, and the difference in status is not comparable, how can it be worthy of the elder of the inner gate to save him personally?

If Zhang Luliang really had an inner door elder as a backstage, how could he be a small deacon at the outer gate?

Lu Mengyao has a smart mind, although she can't figure it out, she can guess that this may be related to the change in her father's attitude and the special circumstances he said.

Lu Feichen took a deep breath, his expression looked a little dignified, as the ruler of the outer gate, in a high position, Lu Mengyao had not seen this kind of expression on his father's face for a long time.

"Not long ago, the head of the sect returned from the Jiufeng Mountain Range, but he was seriously injured, and now his days are numbered. As soon as Lu Feichen opened his mouth, he said a shocking news.

The head he said is naturally the master of Xiaoyaomen, and those who can sit in the position of head must also be the first strong person in Xiaoyaomen!

"The head is injured, time is running out?" Lu Mengyao looked shocked, "The head is a strong man who has stepped into the realm of kings in the martial arts, how can he be injured like this?"

As for the Jiufeng Mountain Range mentioned by his father, Lu Mengyao had never heard of it.

"My Xiaoyao Sect is located in Yunlong County, and I can't do without the strong martial arts cultivation of the master, so this news has been blocked, and only a very few people in the sect know about it. （”

Lu Feichen's eyes carried a hint of caution, "If the news spreads, not only some forces in Yunlong County will be ready to move, but the forces of other counties in the Tianwu Kingdom may also do things that are not good for my Xiaoyaomen." ”

Hearing this, Lu Mengyao nodded cautiously, saying that she would not tell anyone else the news.

Lu Feichen groaned for a while, and then continued: "The injury of the head of the sect is irreparable, once it falls, the Xiaoyao Gate cannot be left without an owner, and the next head of the sect will be selected from several elders, among the elders of the inner gate, the cultivation and prestige of the two elders are the highest." ”

"These two elders are Di Sigu and Kong Qingyu, the cultivation of the two elders is almost the same, and there are disciples and supporters in both the internal and external sects, and there will be some competition for the ownership of this head of the sect. ”

"Now, the inner and outer gates, whether it is the deacon, the Dharma protector, or the elders, have all taken their positions, choosing the elders who each support them, and your father and I support Elder Kong Qingyu. ”

After listening to these words, Lu Mengyao finally understood.

His father was a supporter of Kong Qingyu's faction, and Zhang Luliang, the deacon of the outer gate, should obviously be a supporter of the Elder Di Si Gu faction.

Although Zhang Luliang's status is low, at this critical moment, Elder Di Si Gu naturally wants to protect the people of his own faction, so as to gain more loyal support, and let those who support him know that choosing to support Di Si Gu is definitely the right choice.

Lu Mengyao didn't expect that this was actually mixed with the struggle for power and profit between the inner sects.

Elder Kong Qingyu is highly respected and is the mentor of her father Lu Feichen, as a disciple, at such a critical moment, he naturally has to stand on the master's side.

Although the status of the outer gate is not as good as that of the inner gate, it is also very important, so Lu Feichen's support will play a big role in whether Elder Kong Qingyu can obtain the position of head of the sect.

"Although Master Venerable has my support, among the nine elders of the inner gate, there are only two people who support him. ”

Speaking of this, Lu Feichen sighed and said, "The master respects me like a mountain in the old man's kindness, if it wasn't for the teacher's support and teaching, I can have Lu Feichen today?"

"However, the status of the elder of the inner gate is respected, and the master is only supported by two people, while there are as many as five supporters in Nadisi Valley, if there is no accident, this battle for the head of the sect, the master will inevitably lose. ($>>>Cotton, Flower 'Sugar' Small 'Say')"

"And once defeated, Di Sigu will sit in the position of the head of the family, and he will inevitably suppress the faction of Shizun, including your father and me, and I will also be implicated, and it will be a blessing and a curse!"

Listening to her father's story, Lu Mengyao could feel the stakes.

In a hegemonic force like Xiaoyaomen, it is normal to compete for power and profit, and it is normal for the victor to suppress the loser's faction to stabilize his position.

But what does all this have to do with me and Luo Xiu?

Just as Lu Mengyao was thinking about this question, Lu Feichen slowly spoke, and said, "Among the nine elders in the inner gate, there are three elders who have the best relationship, they are brothers and sisters with each other, and they were born and died several times when they were young. ”

"One of the elders had a grandson named Gou Jinchuan, who was deeply loved by those three elders and was now an inner disciple. ”

"Elder Gou came to me a few days ago and said that his grandson has been in love with you for a long time, and if he can get married, Elder Gou will persuade his two brothers and sisters to stand by your ancestor's side. ”

At this point, no matter how stupid Lu Mengyao is, she can understand what her father means, not to mention that she is smart and icing.

"Father, are you going to use me as a tool in exchange for power?"

Lu Mengyao was anxious on the spot, stood up suddenly, and looked at her father with an angry face.

Lu Feichen shook his head and smiled bitterly, no one knew his daughter better than him, he had long known that once he said this, she would inevitably be like this.

"Meng Yao, your mother died early, since you were a child, your father has never objected to any of your ideas, at the beginning, your fire and yang veins could not be cured, and you had to cultivate the ice heart of the Tianshan Snow Valley to suppress it, but you were required to marry into the Tianshan Snow Valley, you would rather die than run to the Qingyun City, and your father did not force you. ”

"But this time, once your ancestor fails to compete for the position of head of the family, maybe your father and I will have to worry about my life at that time!" Lu Feichen said with a sigh.

"Dad, I'm ......" Lu Mengyao didn't know what to say for a while, she couldn't ignore her father's life or death, but the price was to marry Gou Jinchuan, which also made her unacceptable.

She originally thought that she could not have a future, and it was difficult for her to live past the age of twenty-five, but Luo Xiu cured her of the Fire Yang Absolute Vein, not only giving her a future, but also giving her an unforgettable relationship.

For Lu Mengyao, she would rather die than turn her back on her relationship with Luo Xiu.

But...... If your father is implicated and worried about his life because of his persistence, isn't he unfilial?

On the one hand, he is the father who loves him the most since he was a child, and on the other hand, he is the happiness he pursues.

How do I choose?

Lu Mengyao was at a loss for a while, and her mind was blank.

Lu Feichen also stood up and stroked her cheek, "Dad loves you the most, naturally he won't force you to marry someone you don't like, if you really want to be with Luo Xiu, Dad will arrange for you and Luo Xiu to leave Yunlong County, so that you won't be implicated." ”

Lu Mengyao's delicate body trembled, her father was thinking more about herself at this time, which made her heart moved and a little guilty.

"Father, I ...... I want to think about it. Lu Mengyao's heart was upset.

"Okay, Dad gave you time to think about it, but the time is pressing, and he can only give you three days. Lu Feichen said.

......

After Lu Feichen and Lu Mengyao left, Luo Xiu's mood was inexplicably irritable and uneasy.

Until late at night, he slowly opened his eyes, and the injuries he suffered in the life-and-death duel with Lin Jingyun had completely recovered.

The ability to directly repair the life vein, as long as it is not a fatal injury, he can quickly recover in a short period of time.

But the depression, irritability, and restlessness that lingered in my heart could not be dissipated for a long time.

The battle with Lin Jingyun made Luo Xiu understand a truth.

When fighting for life and death, the cultivation realm cannot completely determine a person's combat ability, and powerful formation treasures can play a decisive role at critical moments.

For example, the third-order formation treasure used by Lin Jingyun stimulated a golden sword qi comparable to the attack of an innate martial artist, and if it was replaced by other Qi Sea Sevenfold, or even Qi Sea Eightfold, it would be almost impossible to resist.

Of course, formation treasures are expensive, and not everyone has powerful formation treasures.

But there is no doubt that the formation treasure is indeed possible to counterattack at a critical moment, or capsize in the gutter.

There are probably three kinds of formation treasures, one is offensive, such as the golden ball used by Lin Jingyun.

There is also a defensive one, such as the blue crystal bracelet given to him by the Lord of Qingyun Palace, which was later transferred to Lu Mengyao by him.

The third type is auxiliary, such as the Spirit Gathering Formation, etc., and the general auxiliary array treasures are also called formation devices.

In Lin Jingyun's storage bracer, there were more than a hundred lower-grade Yuan Qi Stones, as well as a Qi Refining Pill, as well as a fifth-grade sword technique, and a second-order Spirit Gathering Formation device.

These things are basically of little value to Luo Xiu.

However, Luo Xiu found a jade pendant inside, which was actually a defensive third-order formation treasure, which could be activated by true qi and could release a shield with wood attributes, which had the ability to defend against attacks and also had the effect of healing.

Among the many disciples of the Outer Sect, Lin Jingyun's status is not high, and his strength is not very strong, so it stands to reason that he should not have such a precious formation treasure.

Thinking that the notarization of this life-and-death duel was Zhang Luliang, Luo Xiu could also think with his toes that there must be that old thing behind his back.

"At the beginning, it was also me who was provoked by the Zhang family, an old guy who has lived for more than a hundred years, just deal with me indiscriminately, and want to kill me everywhere, when I have the strength, I will definitely find an opportunity to kill you, an old horseman!"

As soon as he thought of this Zhang Luliang targeting him everywhere, Luo Xiu's eyes flashed with a fierce light.

He is not a soft-hearted person, because he knows very well that in this world, kindness can only be regarded as cowardly and deceitful.

Whether it was beating Zhang Hao violently in the Qingyun Martial Palace, abolishing Zhang Hai, kowtowing to Zhao Liang's head, or later killing people with his own hands in Shuiwu Mountain and Baqi Mountain, the arrogance and ruthlessness in Luo Xiu's character were actually vividly revealed.

Standing in front of the window, Luo Xiu looked at the bright moon hanging high in the night sky, frowning slightly, and the restlessness in his heart made it difficult for him to calm down.
