Chapter 169: Return to the South
There is also part of the reason why the Yaqi Sect was able to be invited over, although the apparent reason was to give the Lingyun Sect a face, but in fact, secretly he wanted to see if he could lure them over.
Then Guo Chen came, but it seems that the purpose of coming here is not to find the people they invited over, but the people in the palace who originally belonged to the royal family.
But now they actually went to the East, and there is only one explanation for this, that is, there are people or forces in the East that they don't know about, and who have a good relationship with the Nightmare Clan.
As for whether they didn't go to the East and deliberately did it for the royal family, maybe they didn't think about it, but they couldn't say it, what did he want?
Last night, he also helped the royal family deal with a big trouble, for which he did not hesitate to let his soul be damaged, and even fainted directly in the palace, and now he is so wary of the royal family?
The royal family was confused by this operation, and now they don't know if they went to the east or what they are doing, but now they are still ready to discuss the affairs of the north.
Now the situation in the north is too important for the mainland, it is best to let the Lingyun Sect deal with this matter, but it will be said in a few days, so as not to affect Jiang Xueyan's birthday.
This time, the royal family recruited so many people, not just for an event, in addition to Jiang Xueyan's birthday, there was also a competition for the first university in the mainland, so twenty colleges came.
After the Nine Star Academy told the royal family about the problem last time, after the royal family and the Lingyun Sect discussed, they decided to hold such an event, which was a competition for the first school on the surface, but secretly, it was a counterattack against the evil alliance.
With so many masters here, the people of the evil alliance will definitely not dare to do it directly, and when the time comes, they can carefully investigate everyone here and find out the undercover agents of the evil alliance.
If there is no undercover agent of the evil alliance here, they can take the opportunity to tell the people present about this matter, then they will successfully oppose the guest, and then it will be the evil alliance on the bright side.
As for whether the Nine Star Academy can keep the name of the First Academy, just kidding, the Imperial Family and the Lingyun Sect can be regarded as the backers of the Nine Star Academy, and they will compete for this title in the Imperial City.
It is estimated that it will be scrapped before it can be played, so there is no need to worry about this matter at all, the name of the first school of Nine Star Academy can be retained, provided that there is no cerebral palsy that cannot understand the situation.
After all, this academy is different from the sect, if the sect wants to develop, it must have a brain, otherwise it will not be able to develop at all, but the academy is different, basically every academy will have a backer.
In the past, the backers of the Nine Star Academy were the Lingyun Sect and the Imperial Family, but they did not directly intervene in the internal affairs of the Nine Star Academy as they do now, which led to the gradual independence of the Nine Star Academy, and it became the later Big Three of the Continent.
And other colleges, more or less have backers behind them, and there is no shortage of independent development, and someone is carrying around if something happens, so whether the IQ of the person in charge is online or not, it's really hard to say, this time it is estimated that there will be no fewer deaths.
Two days have passed, and the Tianxiao Cangyu Phoenix, who left the imperial city, is now about to rush to the cave where Ling Xu is, Guan Ying did not choose to rest halfway, and planned to rest again when he arrived in the cave.
The main purpose of their return this time was to help them obtain another spirit pupil, although the method was not known yet, but it seemed that there was no need to go anywhere else, and she would have plenty of rest time at that time.
The Sky Screaming Cangyu Phoenix landed in a nearby forest, this forest is a rare large forest in the south, among which there are many spirit beasts, and there are also many powerful ones, so it has not been able to develop.
"Okay, be careful of being captured by spirit beasts, there are many spirit beasts in this forest, and most of them are fierce. ”
Han Hao, Zhao Xue and Wang She all came here for the first time, and after sending Tianxiao Cangyu Huang away, Guo Chen asked them to follow as soon as possible, after all, they were in the forest, and it was difficult to find them if they were separated.
The runes Guo Chen gave them could only be used for calling, and they couldn't be located, this forest was full of trees, and there was nothing that could be used as coordinates to judge the location.
They took the route that Ling Xu had built a long time ago, I don't know what method was used, anyway, there were no spirit beasts approaching, they should have used some special pills or enchantments.
Soon a group of six people rushed to the vicinity of the cave, and the three people who had never been here noticed the cave, and their first reaction was to go up to take a look, but they were stopped by Guo Chen, Ling Yunhao and Guan Ying.
"Don't run around, you will die if you go directly here. ”
Saying that, Guo Chen turned around and walked to the other side, this was Ling Xubu's last level, if he saw the cave and went in directly, he would be noticed by the nearby spirit beasts at the first time, and it was useless to run anywhere.
Then the six people circled around the mountain before returning to the entrance of the cave, and the moment they entered the cave, it was a familiar recipe again, but this time there were two people who did not fall into the illusion space.
It was Guo Chen and Ling Yunhao, who had the highest level of illusion skills among the six people, and both of them had already been on the Tao once, so they had been prepared when they came in this time, and successfully avoided the grasping of the illusion space.
"Yo, yes, I actually avoided my illusion space, there are a lot of people here this time, this is bringing people back?"
Ling Xu walked out from the depths of the cave and asked such a sentence, he didn't have time to perceive who those people were, he just noticed the number, exactly six.
There were a total of seven people in the Nightmare Clan, except for Ling Xu, wasn't it exactly six, his first reaction was that this was not strange, but he soon found out that something was wrong.
"Last time it was Bi Lingguo, this time it's Red Shenglu, good boy, you can always find some strange helpers, but his soul is so fragile, what's going on?"
Before Guo Chen could explain, he himself told Wang She's identity, Guan Ying he had seen before, and the other two should be members of the Nightmare Clan.
"The situation is a bit complicated, I'll tell you slowly later, we have also determined the identities of the remaining two clansmen, Jiang Ling and Jiang Xueyan of the royal family. ”
Guo Chen didn't answer his question directly, but first said the more important things, no matter what the situation, gathering the clansmen of the Nightmare Clan is the most important main task.
"Jiang Xueyan, it's the girl who came back with you last time, I have the impression, why didn't Shen Xuan come back with you, where did he go?"
Compared to Jiang Xueyan and their affairs, Ling Xu still cared more about Shen Xuan, after all, this main quest was Guo Chen's main quest, and his main quest hadn't started yet.
Guo Chen's face changed more obviously, this was still rare in him, he told Ling Xu what happened after leaving the Flowing Shadow Sect, and the northern part was directly skipped.
After all, a lot of things happened in the north, and it was not clear in one sentence or two at all, so he planned to explain it in detail later, and now he just had to tell Shen Xuan about his disappearance.
"It seems that you have also experienced a lot of things during this time, come in first, it's almost time, hurry up and bring the two people from the royal family back and go to Shen Xuan." ”
It's not just for any reason, Ling Xu has always cared about Shen Xuan, maybe it's because Guo Chen is dead, he is the most suitable to inherit the Pupil of Nightmare, as for the truth, only Ling Xu knows.
Guo Chen can't ask this question directly, after all, if the answer is the same as what he thinks, it will not be good for him, Shen Xuan, and Ling Xu, so it's better not to ask at all, and leave some room for fantasy.
After that, Ling Xu lifted the illusion space, and he entered the depths of the cave first, and the four people who woke up from the ground, except for Guan Ying, who had been fooled once, were all at a loss.
Immediately, the six of them entered the depths of the cave together, and Guo Chen first told Ling Xu everything that happened during this time, which was an afternoon.
It wasn't until dinner time that he only talked about being trapped in the warehouse, and then he didn't talk about going to the Flowing Shadow Sect to find Han Hao, but he wasn't in a hurry, and it wasn't too late to talk about it after eating.
The most active people who ate were Ling Xu and Han Hao, Ling Xu was because it had just come out of the secret realm of Lin Island since the last time he ate, and it was normal to be active without eating for so long.
As for Han Hao, it was purely for Guo Chen to persecute him, and he was the most active one in eating at any time, because he had some painful experiences that no one else had.
After eating his fill, Guo Chen told Ling Xu the rest of the part, and then watched him fall into deep thought, what happened during this time seemed to make it seem that the royal family wanted to cooperate with them.
"What do you think of royalty?"
After being silent for a long time, Ling Xu reacted, it didn't matter what he thought, he might not think comprehensively, but the person opposite must have thought very comprehensively, and his choice must be correct.
"The royal family, if you want to cooperate with us, let us restrict the development of the Spirit Cloud Sect and the Evil Alliance, and help them become the masters of the continent, to put it bluntly, they want to use us. ”
What Guo Chen said is actually not completely correct, but it is also right, maybe when Jiang Hanhai and Jiang Ling are in power, the royal family can cooperate with them safely.
But when the next generation succeeds to the throne, it will not be necessarily, Guo Chen is not sure that he will live to that time, and he will inevitably be dealt with by the royal family if he loses his nightmare clan, and he has no affection at all.
"Then what are you going to do, now cooperate with the royal family, you will have room for development, otherwise you will not be able to bring those two people out safely. ”
Ling Xu seemed to want to cooperate with the royal family, but Guo Chen had already thought about this matter, and he would not affect his judgment because of him, and said, "That's impossible." ”
"If we want Jiang Ling and Jiang Xueyan to accept the inheritance, the royal family will think that we are taking the two of them hostage, and it is estimated that they will cooperate with us for a while before killing us one by one. ”
This is also a very important reason, after all, cooperation is cooperation, if Jiang Ling and Jiang Xueyan are allowed to accept the inheritance, then it is not cooperation, it is called a merger, and the loss must be the royal family, and it is a blood loss.
"So you're going to be the same as now, just rely on a few of you, using someone else's identity, to run around on the mainland?"
Although Ling Xu didn't want him to do this, what he said was the truth, and there was nothing to justify, but it was definitely not okay to wander around the continent like this, if they wanted to develop, they had to find a force to rely on.
The Lingyun Sect is definitely not good, they are all about to unify the continent, and cooperate with the Nightmare Clan, then the Nightmare Clan will definitely be destroyed by them in the end, and the Evil Alliance is also in a similar situation.
Forget about the northern tribes, they can't even protect themselves now, let alone let the Nightmare clan rely on them, Luo Wenxiang, who has a good relationship with them, has no connection with the circle of cultivators.
The Nine Star Academy has completely turned against them, so naturally it can't be, if it can't be a royal family, who else can you find?
"Although I know that it is not very good to say this, I still have to say that the methods of your generation have loopholes, and we should use other methods, relying on any force, it is better to rely on ourselves. ”
