Feeling Xu Xiangbei's contemptuous eyes, Zhou Fangzheng felt sad in his heart: "Xiangbei, I know that you won't forgive me, but I think that as long as you listen patiently to me finish this story, you won't be angry anymore." ”

Zhou Fangzheng had a gentle smile on his face, and it seemed that the old god was there.

After a pause, Zhou Fangzheng said: "Since the establishment of Syrilya, there has been an iron law, those who have reached the realm of war saints must escape from the world and retreat in the Dragon's Breath Tower. ”

"This custom is funny, nursing home?"

Zhou Fangzheng didn't continue, but gathered the martial arts in his body, and the majestic qi waves overflowed from his body, permeating the entire room.

Although Wu Gang was violent, he was controlled by Zhou Fangzheng just right, gathering but not dispersing, so he did not destroy the wooden house.

"War Saint?"

Xu Xiangbei was a little stunned, because he saw that Zhou Fangzheng had also reached the Battle Saint realm, and his qi veins were long, and it didn't seem like he had only recently broken through.

If he used his current strength to fight Xiu Zhan, even if he was defeated, it would be impossible for Xiu Zhan to defeat him easily.

After looking at Xu Xiangbei's surprised eyes, Zhou Fangzheng continued: "Actually, half a year before reporting the trial of the disciples of the lineage, I broke through to the Battle Saint realm, but because I couldn't show my strength, I lost to Xiu Zhan with hatred. ”

The more Xu Xiangbei listened, the more confused he became, and asked, "Why bother?

Zhou Fangzheng smiled lightly and explained: "It's not for you, I have advanced to the War Saint realm, this matter can't be hidden for a long time, I must find an heir in the shortest possible time, but there is no suitable candidate, it just so happened that you appeared at this time." ”

After a deep groan, Zhou Fangzheng continued: "Although you have extraordinary talent, you have a low reputation in the clan, so I held a trial competition for my disciples, and I know that Zhou Ting will definitely come forward to you in order to be lazy." ”

Xu Xiangbei became more and more surprised, thinking about it like this, his actions turned out to be secretly arranged by others.

And, according to what Zhou Fangzheng said, his actions were unexpectedly intertwined and stepped into their well-designed trap.

Xu Xiangbei couldn't help but gasp, he really underestimated this patriarch too much before.

However, Xu Xiangbei was still puzzled: "Then why did you trap me in the Longyan Hell Prison, it was a desperate situation at all." ”

He was seriously injured before, and Zhou Fangzheng not only did not open the net at that time, let himself recuperate, but also used Wu Gang to shackle himself, and also sentenced himself to kill Xiu Manzhen, which basically forced himself to a dead end.

So after experiencing this, Xu Xiangbei has always been resentful of Zhou Fangzheng.

But for this point, Zhou Fangzheng's explanation is more reasonable and convincing: "Because you have the Golden Flame Devouring Fire Tapir, the Dragon Flame Hell is a Jedi for others, but it is the best spiritual place for you." ”

Then, Zhou Fangzheng narrated to Xu Xiangbei how he dispatched in the chess game-

It turned out that he had long known that Di Bowei had colluded with the Fierce Race and plotted to usurp the throne, but he didn't know which other elders were also his henchmen, so he wanted to use this battle to eradicate the rebels in one fell swoop.

He imprisoned Xu Xiangbei to the Jedi for three reasons.

First of all, it is to let Di Bowei smoothly start the war and rebellion activities, secondly, to let Xu Xiangbei have the best place to recuperate, and finally, to let Xu Xiangbei turn the tide, turn the tide, and establish a counterinsurgency prestige.

And Zhou Fangzheng was defeated in the cultivation battle, in fact, it was also a pseudo retreat, on the surface, he was indeed inferior to the cultivation battle, but with the blessing of the Soul Destroying Sword, it was easy to defeat him.

On the surface, he looked angry and defeated, crying blood and retreating, and let Xiu Zhan gain the upper hand, in order to allow Xu Xiangbei to reverse the plot and become a savior.

From the very beginning, Zhou Fangzheng was playing a big game of chess, and he was cultivating Xu Xiangbei as the future patriarch.

Xu Xiangbei was empowered, his brain was opened, and all the people were just Zhou Fangzheng's chess pieces.

Everyone thought that Zhou Fangzheng was blind and was used by the traitorous party, in fact, he had already secretly controlled everything, if Xu Xiangbei couldn't repair the war, he still had a second set of plans, which could reverse the defeat and win a big victory, and would not let the clan flame be extinguished at the feet of the evil enemy.

After understanding the ins and outs, Xu Xiangbei was speechless for a long time, opened his mouth wide, and said in his heart: I see, it is really scheming.

However, there is another mystery that Xu Xiangbei can't figure out.

Looking directly at Zhou Fangzheng, he opened his mouth and asked, "However, when you implemented this grand plan, how many young disciples were killed and injured in the clan because of your false retreat, is this loss worth it?"

In this regard, Zhou Fangzheng also had a look of guilt on his face, but those who achieve great things are not informal, and for the long-term interests of the clan, they can only pay these sacrifices.

However, the sacrifice of every clansman is a heavy price, and Zhou Fangzheng did not deny his duty, and was willing to issue a declaration of guilt, accept the punishment of the clan, and compensate the relatives of the sacrificed clansmen.

For his guilt, the patriarchs decided to remove Zhou Fangzheng from the position of patriarch after consultation, and asked him to choose a new heir in the clan within half a month.

In addition, Zhou Fangzheng also publicly apologized to Xu Xiangbei and apologized for him.

For such a punishment, Xu Xiangbei couldn't say anything in his heart, according to the clan law, Zhou Fangzheng had reached the realm of the Battle Saint, in fact, he could not continue to be the patriarch.

Now it is also in line with the situation, not only retreating to Sumeru Village as a matter of course, but also clearing grievances and grievances, and separating from the rights and wrongs of the rivers and lakes.

Knowing that he had misunderstood Zhou Fangzheng, the resentment in Xu Xiangbei's heart was swept away, and he admired this scheming and strategizing patriarch a little.

Seeing that the war had turned into a jade silk, Beiluo Shimen waved his hand and said: "Zhou Fangzheng, you go back first, remember to pave the way for the enthronement ceremony within half a month, and then live in seclusion to Xiaosumeru Village." ”

Zhou Fangzheng nodded, smiled lightly at Xu Xiangbei, and after saluting the ancestors, he then stepped into the wall and turned to leave.

Seeing Zhou Fangzheng leaving, Xu Xiangbei only felt that the clouds had cleared and the fog had dispersed, and he asked at Beiluo Shimen: "Master Zu, you asked me to come here, it shouldn't be just to resolve the misunderstanding between me and the patriarch, right?"

Xu Xiangbei knew that the people here today were all old-timers who had lived a long time and were wise, and they would definitely not ask themselves to come to Sumeru Village just for some small entanglements between themselves and Zhou Fangzheng, there must be other priorities.

Beiluo Shimen nodded and said with a smile: "Actually, by now, you should have heard clearly, we want you to take over as the next patriarch." ”

Hearing this, Xu Xiangbei did not hesitate at all: "No, kill me, it won't work." ”

Seeing this, Beiluo Shimen regretted for a while, this product refused too desperately, and he didn't even bother to think about it, so he refused.

Beiluo Shimen persuaded him: "If you are the patriarch, you can control all the resources and connections in the clan, and get the full support of the clan, including the favor of the winning saint." ”

In fact, in Sylir Yane, the person who is most familiar with Natasha in Perth is not the patriarch Zhou Fangzheng, but this old ancestor, Beiluo Shimen.

At the beginning, it was he who ordered Zhou Fangzheng to go to the land of the phoenix and take Natasha as an apprentice.

The reason for this, he didn't mention it to others, because it was a secret in his heart.

Therefore, Perth Natasha has the privilege of not being bound by the disciple rules, and even sometimes the meetings held by the top of the clan must invite her to appear.

The entanglement between Xu Xiangbei and Perth Natasha is well known to Beiluo, so he knows very well what Xu Xiangbei values most.

Of course, Xu Xiangbei knew who Beiluo Shimen was talking about, but he didn't fall into the trap at all: "Hmph, I will use a fair and honest way, so that I won't use that kind of shameless deed to oppress others and obtain, you say that these are useless to me." ”

Beiluo Shimen listened, glanced at Xu Xiangbei deeply, as if he remembered something, shook his head, and did not persuade again.

After thinking for a while, Beiluo Shimen had a little difficult proposal: "Xiangbei, if you really care about and like Natasha, stay away from her for the time being." ”

Xu Xiangbei's eyes flashed with a fine light that was difficult for ordinary people to detect: "Why?"

Beiluo Shimen opened his mouth and asked, "When you first met Natasha, what realm was she?"

Xu Xiangbei said, "The middle-level battle leader." ”

"And what about yesterday?"

After thinking for a while, Xu Xiangbei suddenly realized that the breath of Perth Natasha had indeed not grown in the past few days, and there was even a little ebb tide.

Even if Perth Natasha hasn't worked hard recently, at most it is standing still, how can it still ebb and flow?

Beiluo Shimen sighed and explained: "Natasha has practiced the Ice Butterfly Jade Heart Gong since she was a child, which is a very rare internal strength heart method, and it must be a virgin body, a girl with a pure yin body, to cultivate. ”

After a pause, Beiluo Shimen continued: "Moreover, this internal strength method requires the cultivator's mentality to be like ice, pure and free of distracting thoughts. ”

Xu Xiangbei thought about what had happened recently, as if every time she was alone with Perth Natasha, she could be a little unnatural.

Especially last time, she was getting along well, but suddenly it was cold in the room, and her attitude changed repeatedly.

It turned out that it was all caused by this Ice Butterfly Jade Heart Skill.

Xu Xiangbei was furious, and said angrily: "Then why do you want her to cultivate this evil sect's harmful internal strength and mental method." ”

Beiluo Shimen was also angry in his heart, he had seen that Natasha in Perth was in a weak mood and had no obstacles, and this internal strength method was tailor-made for her at all.

In fact, her admirers flocked to her, and she hadn't seen anyone before, who could make her look the other way.

But who would have thought that he met the nemesis Xu Xiangbei, Xu Xiangbei, who has an active temperament, humor, and single-mindedness, and is basically the Five Elements of Ice Butterfly Jade Heart Skill.

Not to mention Perth Natasha, even if it is the Nine Heavens Xuannu who descends to the earth, I am afraid that under the attack of Xu Xiangbei's soft grinding and hard bubbles, it is inevitable that there will be ripples in the mood.

Therefore, Xu Xiangbei's visit suppressed Perth's Natasha's cultivation entry.
