Chapter 42: Before the War
The reason why the lonely mound peak got its name is because it is a messy grave, and the so-called lonely mound means that the tomb is full of lonely souls and wild ghosts.
No one knows when the countless mass graves in the Lonely Tomb Peak have existed, and it seems that the Peerless City was already the same before it was built.
Usually, few people will take the initiative to run to the Lonely Tomb Peak, after all, it is not a good place, and there are mass graves everywhere, God knows what kind of murderous things are hidden here. It is even said that an extremely powerful Xuanshi was killed here, but it is unknown what killed him.
To put it simply, this place is dangerous, and idlers are not allowed to enter.
Today's Lonely Tomb Peak is completely devoid of the mystery and loneliness of the past, although there is still a period of time before noon, there are already more than a thousand people gathered here, and all of them are Xuanshi, and there are some guys with good strength.
Liu Sheng and Yu Chang'an, two names that were not originally in the same magnitude, were talked about side by side on this day. Of course, in the mouths of more people, Yu Chang'an, who had just made a little noise in the cultivation world in the past few days, was basically not favored at all, after all, his opponent Liu Sheng was a yellow-level five-fold mysticist, and the difference in strength between the two was too big.
"Will that Yu Chang'an choose to avoid a fight?" At the entrance of the valley, a young Xuanshi in a white robe asked with a chuckle.
"It should ...... No. Across from him, a young man in black armor pondered for a moment before replying.
"What do you mean? Should I say that you think highly of that Yu Chang'an, or do you underestimate Liu Sheng's deterrent power too much? One has just started cultivating, and the other has been famous for a long time, do you think there is really a need for them to fight?"
"I don't have confidence in Yu Changan, I just have confidence in the Yu family. ”
"What do you mean?"
"Since the day the Yu family rose, have you ever heard that the Yu family surrendered without a fight or escaped without a fight?"
"Heh, I'm afraid you kid didn't bet heavily on Yu Changan in the gambling house, talking to him like this, the Yu family has not lost in foreign battles, and there are many times they have fled after defeat. ”
"Yes, you're right. The black-armored young man seemed to be fed up with the other party's nonsense, so he simply admitted defeat.
The white-robed young man hurriedly smiled and said, "Okay, yes, you're right, aren't you right, but I'm still curious, why are you so sure that Yu Chang'an dares to come to fight?"
"Because ......" The black-armored young man paused for a while, and then said seriously: "Because I did bet heavily on him, if he doesn't come, I will lose all my money." ”
"What?" The white-robed young man was stunned for a long time and grinned silently, shook his head and said, "You can really do it." ”
"It's fun, it doesn't matter who wins or loses anyway, it's better to have some fun for yourself. The black-armored young man said with a nonchalant expression, turned around and left with his own people.
"It's strange that you really don't care about winning or losing, you kid has been holding back his strength to kill Liu Sheng all these years, do you really think I don't know?" The white-robed young man didn't expose the true purpose of his old friend, and turned around and walked back to his team lazily after muttering a word.
After walking a few steps, he raised his eyebrows, and subconsciously looked a little farther away, and saw a group of people slowly walking from a distance, looking at their outfits, it was not difficult to tell that these people should all be Gu family members.
"Huh, is it really here?" the white-robed young man muttered to himself in a little surprise, and casually beckoned a subordinate to point to the group of people and asked, "Is there that guy named Yu Changan in there?"
His subordinates took a serious look at the distance, took out a portrait and carefully identified it, and finally nodded and said, "Yes, the young man at the head is Yu Changan." ”
"Okay, let's go down. The white-robed young man waved his hand to let his subordinates return to the team, and after standing in place and thinking for a while, he slowly walked towards the Gu family's team with his arms in his arms.
Not far away, the black-armored young man who had just separated from him looked at the other party's strange behavior with a puzzled expression, and secretly scolded: "It's good to make a fortune in a muffled voice, you have to step forward to join in the fun, you don't think there are enough enemies, right?"
Yu Changan's spirit is very good now, he has habitually let go of all the doubts in his heart, and only thinks about winning this battle. He knew that everyone was not optimistic that he would win, and in fact, even he himself was not very sure of winning, but since he had made a gambling contract, he had to complete it.
Before coming here, Yu Changan got a good news, after a night of investigation, the shadow guard has found out the movements of Gu Qifeng's subordinates, and the small number of people who are determined to betray the Gu family have been clearly delineated, and when this matter is over, they can go back and settle the accounts.
As for those forces that are still wavering, Yu Changan does not intend to kill them all, the effect he wants to achieve is only to kill chickens and monkeys, not to cut off his own arm. Gu Qifeng is certainly incompetent, but after all, he is Gu Yu's own brother, and the power in his hands should not be underestimated, if he really doesn't care about all the extermination, it can be regarded as a more painful loss for the Gu family.
For the time being, as long as the stability of the Gu family is maintained, after Gu Yu's injuries are dealt with, she naturally knows how to lead the Gu family to continue to stride forward.
Just as he was thinking about these things, a white shadow stood in front of Yu Changan very abruptly, he stopped vigilantly and looked at the other party, but he didn't take the initiative to ask anything.
"Hello, my name is Sheng Kun. Across from him, the white-robed young man introduced himself with kindness.
"Sheng Kun, Sheng family?" asked Yu Changan.
"Ha, it's the Sheng family. Sheng Kun nodded.
"Why are you here?"
"It's nothing expensive, it's just that I have nothing to do to talk to you. Sheng Kun said with a big grin, casually pointing to the black-armored young man who was looking at this side not far away and said, "That guy Zhou Ji has made a heavy bet on you, if you can't win, he will lose all his money." ”
Yu Changan followed his fingers and saw Zhou Ji in black armor, and after nodding at the other party, he asked Sheng Kun again: "Thank you Brother Zhou for your kindness on my behalf, in order not to let him lose all his money, I will do my best in this battle." ”
After speaking, Yu Changan walked in with a group of ancient family scholars.
"Third brother, do you know Sheng Kun?" After walking out of the distance, Yu Qingran came to Yu Changan's side and asked.
"I don't know. ”
"And what did he say hello to you?"
"How do I know, I don't even know who he is, is that guy strong?"
"Very strong. Yu Qingran nodded heavily and said: "He and that Zhou Ji are both the top figures in the younger generation of Xuanshi in Wushuang City, it's just that the two of them have been fighting in the Metaverse battlefield all year round, so they are not as famous as Ji Chen, but in the cultivation world, they are both really ruthless characters." ”
"I see. Yu Changan smiled and said casually: "No wonder he looks down on me." ”
"Ah, where did he look down on you?" Yu Qingran wondered, "He was very polite just now." ”
"It's true to be polite, but it's also true to be contemptuous. Yu Changan said unhappily: "Maybe before today, he didn't even know who I was, and I hadn't seen him before, but he came up so swaggeringly and said a bunch of things he wanted to say, the reason why this is so is because he doesn't care how I feel, whether I'm happy, angry, or flattered by his accosting, it doesn't matter what mood it is, because he didn't take me in his eyes at all, he just thought it was fun, so he did these things." ”
When Yu Qingran heard this, she immediately said indignantly: "How can this be reasonable, it's just too much." ”
"Okay, what is there to pretend to be with your third brother, I don't believe you can't even see this thing. Yu Changan pushed her angrily, and chuckled: "Isn't it normal for people to look down on me if my strength is not enough, I haven't been pretentious enough to get angry for this little thing." It's the bet he just mentioned, which really has some research value. ”
As he spoke, Yu Changan took out 100,000 Xuanjing from the treasure bag and handed it to Yu Qingran and said, "You want to find a way to help me place a bet and buy me to win." ”
"Are you serious?" Yu Qingran said in surprise: "Third brother, you don't really think that with some ...... The demon seed can defeat Yagyu, right?"
"You don't care about these things, just help me bet. Yu Changan waved his hand and wanted to send Yu Qingran away.
"Third brother, what my father and second uncle mean is that you just need to save your life in this battle, don't be rash. ”
"Hmm, second uncle, they all think that I definitely can't win?"
"Yes, you can't win for sure, you and Liu Sheng's strength is too different, finding a way to save your life is the key, Liu Sheng will definitely kill this time." Yu Qingran continued to persuade bitterly: "But don't worry, the second uncle has already begun to prepare a countermeasure, at least this battle will find a way to keep you from dying." ”
"One by one, are they all idle and have nothing to do? Yu Changan said with a displeased face, saying that, his heart still had a little warmth.
After the two talked, their group finally came to the closest place to the entrance of Lonely Tomb Peak, Yu Changan had already noticed the lively scene here today, looking at the Xuanshi scattered around, he was somewhat surprised, but he was relieved when he thought about it. I think it must be that Liu Sheng released the news of the contract, and this is done to let more people see his defeat, and secondly, it is naturally to sit on the content of the agreement, only in this way can he take all the benefits safely.
Not long after Yu Changan stood firm, Liu Sheng also appeared with the Liu family's Xuanshi team in the distance, and when people saw clearly the Xuanshi following behind Liu Sheng, there was an uproar.
"Black Feather Army, Liu Sheng actually brought the Black Feather Army?" Yu Qingran was shocked when she saw this, the Black Feather Army was one of the most elite Xuan soldiers of the Liu family, and its combat power was extremely amazing. Now, Yu Qingran suddenly felt that the demon seed brought by the third brother had become insufficient.
But looking at the combat power that Liu Sheng brought to prepare for battle, Yu Changan suddenly smiled: "Sure enough, it's the Black Feather Army, so it seems that this time there are a few more chances of winning." ”
