In the stronghold of the Yanzhou branch of the Shuntian League on the Taihang Mountain

Li Yangao, the elder of the Yanzhou Branch, sat on the throne, and the remaining twelve deacons sat on either side. Li Yan's face was solemn at this moment, and his gaze slowly swept over the twelve deacons.

"Elder Qiqi!"

The deacons who had gone to contact several other sub-alliances stood up at the same time and reported to Li Yan at the head of the group: "The five elders of the Qingzhou Branch, the Xuzhou Branch, the Yangzhou Branch, the Yuzhou Branch, and the Bingzhou Branch Alliance have all agreed to support our Yanzhou Branch's action to eradicate the Rebels. ”

"Why didn't the Jizhou branch reply?"

Li Yan's face became even more ugly, and he asked with dissatisfaction. At present, even if there is competition among the various alliances, they should work together to deal with it. However, the elders of the Jizhou Branch Alliance did not reply, didn't they ignore the rules of the Shuntian Alliance? Li Yan, who had already had something on his mind, was naturally in a worse mood at the moment.

"Elder Qiqi!"

Ji Yan, who was in charge of contacting the Jizhou Branch, stepped forward and replied loudly: "When the subordinates arrived at the Jizhou Branch, the elders and twelve deacons of the Jizhou Branch, as well as most of the elites in the Alliance, had already been taken away. According to the guards who stayed behind, Elder Zhu of the Jizhou Branch Alliance led his twelve deacons to Youzhou to carry out the mission at the invitation of Elder Aixin Jueluo Youyou of the Youzhou Branch. Therefore, for this operation, the Jizhou branch alliance could not participate. ”

"What's going on?"

A flash of surprise flashed in Li Yan's heart, each branch of the Shuntian Alliance usually only needs two to three deacons to carry out the tasks within their respective jurisdictions, and there are very few situations where the tasks cannot be completed. And this time. Not only did the members of the Youzhou League go out, but also the members of the Jizhou League to help, which made Li Yan feel very curious.

"Elder Qiqi. It is said that he was going to exterminate Lu Bu's forces in Youzhou, so the elites of the Youzhou Alliance and the Jizhou Alliance shot together. ”

"Hmph!

Li Yan snorted dissatisfiedly, but he was just a follower of a rebel, and he needed to be so excited, he was too careful.

"Now that the deacons are here, Elder Ben makes a message. Previously, Elder Ben reported the news of the appearance of the Rebel to the General Alliance. There is news from the General Alliance, and we must not rush to do it. Wait until the master sent by the Coalition arrives before proceeding. ”

Li Yan finished speaking. And he said no more. Li Yan's face was not good-looking just now, and it was also because of this reason.

Originally, as the main messenger of the joint operation this time, the other sub-alliances would inevitably obey his orders. Let him have a puppet alliance addiction. However. Now that the General Alliance has sent someone to direct this operation, the position of the leading brother is naturally not Li Yan's turn. The figures from the General Alliance, even if they are just a small soldier, have an extraordinary status, and they, the elders and deacons of the Alliance, have to be polite to those who come. What's more, Li Yan received a letter, the status of the people sent by the General Alliance this time is not low, even if the other party kills them, the elders and deacons of the sub-alliance. No one dared to say a word more.

"Dare to ask the elder, who will the Alliance send this time?"

Li Yan's face was even darker. The guy who asked the question really didn't mention which pot to open. However, although Li Yan was dissatisfied, he still replied: "This time, the general alliance sent the deacon of the Shadow Pavilion to command the action, and after the deacon of the Shadow Pavilion arrives, all sub-alliances must completely obey the orders of the comer, and there must be no disobedience. Elder Ben also respectfully told the deacons that the members of the Shadow Pavilion were supreme, and even the alliance leaders should treat them with courtesy. If you make a mistake and are killed by the deacon of the Shadow Pavilion, no one will be able to help you, have you ever understood?"

"Yes!"

The twelve deacons were in a pang and shouted in unison. As a deacon of the League, although his status is not low. However, they did not know much about the situation in the General Alliance. As for the Shadow Pavilion, although they had heard of it, it was just that they had never seen it before, and they had never dealt with it.

"Dare to ask the Elder, what is the status of the Shadow Pavilion in the General Alliance?"

When Li Yan heard Xuanyuan Yan's question, he fell into deep thought, as if he recalled something that frightened him, his body couldn't help but tremble, and his thoughts turned around.

"Whew!"

He took a long breath, calmed his agitated mood, and said in a deep voice: "You are all deacons of the alliance, and one of you will also provoke the pillar of the alliance in the future, so you also have the right to know some of the circumstances of the alliance. However, the situation of the General Alliance is limited to your ears and must not be passed on any further, otherwise, you will know the consequences of violating it, do you understand?"

"Yes!"

Li Yan paused before continuing: "Each generation of the General Alliance has an alliance leader, who is selected from the thirteen families, and you know this. Under the alliance leader, there are the suzerain, elders, deacons, and the same is true for the alliance. The Shadow Pavilion is an existence independent of the General Alliance, in which the deacons, elders, and sect masters have not changed. However, above the Sect Master, there were five people who were the highest-ranking in the Shadow Pavilion, known as the Five Exercisers. It is rumored that the status of the Five Exercisers is higher than that of the Alliance Leader, but they have no intention of being the Alliance Leader, so they have always lived a simple life. Unless there is a major event in the Shuntian Alliance, the Five Exercisers rarely appear, so Elder Ben has never seen the Five Exercisers of the Shadow Pavilion. Mo said that it was this elder, even if they were the alliance leaders in the general alliance, they might not have seen the five exercisers. In addition, if the Alliance Elders have enough merit, they can return to the Alliance to take up their positions, and one of the conditions is that they must be trained by the Shadow Pavilion before they can take up the positions of the Alliance. ”

Speaking of this, Li Yan stopped again, and his body couldn't help but tremble again, if it weren't for the twelve deacons who had been staring at Li Yan, they would definitely not have noticed Li Yan's abnormality. They could see that the reason why Li Yan's body was trembling was because of an inexplicable sense of fear. They were also extremely puzzled in their hearts, what was it that could make Li Yan so frightened.

"Ten years ago, Elder Ben returned to the General Alliance once. At that time, six Alliance Elders were promoted back to the Alliance to serve in their positions, trained by the members of the Shadow Pavilion. The six Alliance elders had to fight with the Deacons of the Shadow Pavilion before they could officially assume the position of the Alliance. However, there are six powerful branch elders. In the hands of that deacon of the Shadow Pavilion, he couldn't go through ten rounds, among them, three of the elders of the sub-alliance were killed on the spot, one of the elders of the sub-alliance was disabled, and the remaining two elders of the sub-alliance passed the test and held the position of the general alliance. However, they were also seriously injured at that time. It took a year of recuperation before the injury improved. You can imagine how terrifying the strength of the Deacon of the Shadow Pavilion is. ”

"Shhh

listened to Li Yan's words. The twelve deacons all gasped, their eyes wide open, and they looked incredulous.

How strong the elders of the alliance were, they naturally knew it. Just like Li Yan, the elder of their Yanzhou Alliance. Six deacons shot together. can barely fight a draw with Li Yan, even if twelve people shoot at the same time, they may not be able to kill the other party. And the six branch elders who returned to the general alliance to take up their positions, after the training of the members of the Shadow Pavilion, when they challenged, the six people could not go through ten rounds in the hands of the deacon of the Shadow Pavilion, how terrifying was that kind of strength. They can't imagine it anymore.

And suddenly, another question came to their minds.

In the past, it was recorded in the alliance that the anti-heaven was an extremely powerful existence. Don't be negligent. And now, when they learned that the Rebel had appeared, the Alliance had actually sent the deacon of the Shadow Pavilion to take action, wouldn't that mean that the strength of the Rebel was already as strong as the members of the Shadow Pavilion? If that was the case, wouldn't they have been going to die if they had thought about dealing with the Rebel before? Fortunately, they were not in a hurry to do it, otherwise, their graves might have been covered with grass by now.

When the twelve deacons were frightened, Li Yan said again, "In addition to being the examiners for the promotion of the elders of the alliance, the members of the Shadow Pavilion are also responsible for the punishment of traitors. As for the circumstances of the punishment, Elder Ben does not want to recall, and you do not need to know. As long as you don't betray the Suncheon Alliance, you don't have to be afraid to see that kind of scene. ”

Li Yan's expression didn't seem to be disguised, what kind of punishment would make Li Yan so secretive. Of course, the twelve deacons were not stupid enough to defy the law, they just behaved honestly.

"Well, as long as you remember not to disobey the orders of the Deacon of the Shadow Chamber, there will be no problem. If you really disobey, Elder Ben will not be able to save you. ”

Li Yan left a sentence and walked out of the conference hall.

After Li Yan left, the twelve deacons suddenly remembered something. As far as they knew, Li Yan, as an elder of the Yanzhou Branch, had received enough credit to return to the General Alliance to take up his position. Previously, they had been a little puzzled as to why Li Yan did not return to the General Alliance to take up his post. Today, they finally understand why. Although it would be higher to return to the General Alliance to hold a position, it would be a risk of losing one's life. Being the boss in a sub-league, or returning to the general league as a thug, is accompanied by a threat to life, such a choice, as long as you are not a fool, you know how to choose. It seems that they are deacons in the branch alliance, except for the elders, they have the highest status, so why do they have to return to the general alliance to see people's faces, at this moment, the twelve deacons of the Yanzhou branch alliance suddenly sublimated a lot.

At the foot of Huangpao Mountain in Baling County, Changsha County, Jingzhou, a group of three people were slowly walking towards the mountain. Although it seems that they are walking very slowly, when you get closer, you will find that their speed is definitely not slow, but just an illusion.

And these three people are naturally Yuan Chang, Tai Shici and Nanhua.

After leaving Puyang in Yanzhou, Yuan Chang and the three of them traveled all the way without stopping for half a minute. After five days of traveling, we finally arrived at the foot of Huangpao Mountain. Such a hurry is not easy for Tai Shici, after all, his strength is the lowest among the three, he is already out of breath at the moment, and his whole body is also embarrassed, and he almost became a wild man; Of course, compared to Tai Shici, it is quite normal. As for Yuan Chang, I saw that this guy was calm, his pace was steady, his breath was smooth, not a drop of sweat appeared on his body, and the clothes on his body were spotless.

"Youzhou Mu, the Taoist temple of the family teacher is not far from the mountain, please come with me!" Nanhua turned to Yuan Changji and saluted, and said softly.

"Nanhua Daoist, since you are arriving soon, there is no need to rush, it doesn't hurt to rest for a while before setting off!"

Previously, because Yuan Chang was worried about the situation of Lü Bu and Beijing City, he proposed to hurry up, and after seeing Zhang Liang as soon as possible, he would return to Beijing City. At this moment, Nanhua and Tai Shici were both a little tired, and their destination was about to arrive, so Yuan Chang was naturally embarrassed to continue to rush.

After listening to Yuan Chang's words, Nanhua did not object, bowed slightly, and walked to the side. As for Tai Shici, he lay on the ground without the slightest image, obviously he was tired enough to show such an appearance.

"Ziyi, don't you feel extremely indecent with such an image?"

Yuan Chang found a piece of grass and sat down, glanced at Tai Shici, and said leisurely. "You should learn from Nanhua Daoist, although I also know that Nanhua Daoist's situation is not much better than yours, but, if you look at Nanhua Daoist, he will also find a place where no one can see at this moment to relax, so as not to damage his image. ”

"Lord, isn't it good for you to joke about Nanhua Daoist like this?"

Tai Shici looked at Yuan Chang speechlessly, and took advantage of the absence of the head of Nanhua Dao to say bad things about others. Of course, Yuan Chang is not just ridiculing Nanhua behind Nanhua's back, these days when he is in a hurry, Yuan Chang also spares no effort to "tease" Nanhua. Knowing that Nanhua was a Taoist priest, Yuan Chang also found Nanhua from time to time and told him a few jokes with meat. It's just that Nanhua's mood is good, and he will not be shaken by Yuan Chang's words at all, but Yuan Chang is bored with himself. Of course, even so, Yuan Chang still did not give up and has been insisting on the great cause of "flirting".

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable! Youzhou Mu's words have long been accustomed to it, but General Taishi doesn't need to mind!"

At this moment, Nanhua had already washed up, and he was still holding two water bladders in his hands, which were handed to Yuan Chang and Tai Shici respectively.

Yuan Chang poured a mouthful of water into his stomach and asked with a smile: "Nanhua Daoist, what fun do you cultivators have when they are separated from the world, quiet and inactive? In my opinion, Nanhua Dao is better than being vulgar, and how about going to the world to experience it. ”

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable!"

Nanhua Ji Shou announced a trumpet, then took a direct step and said: "Youzhou Mu, now that you have enough rest, you can set off on the road, meet the family teacher earlier, and the task of the poor road is also completed." ”

Yuan Chang shrugged his shoulders, ignored Tai Shi Ci's resentful eyes, and also stepped forward. (To be continued.) )
