Chapter 58: Crisis
Because of something in his heart, Mu Tianxiang did not delay all the way, Xiaoxing stayed overnight, and rushed to Shangguan City in two days, looking at the familiar Shangguan City is still prosperous, people come and go, and the river is endless.
Mu Tianxiang slowed down his horse and followed the flow of people to the city. Mu Tianxiang is also an acquaintance of the City Lord's Mansion, and now he is also famous and prestigious, and ordinary people dare not offend easily. So when I arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, I was quickly welcomed in.
"Tianxiang, I finally came out of my own broken barracks. Shangguan Qinghe quipped.
"Tianxiang, have you brought any gifts for this girl? If you dare not bring it, be careful that I will clean you up. "Shangguan Jin is still the same demeanor, big grin.
"Don't make trouble, Tianxiang must have something important to say when he comes back. Shangguan Qingyun saw Mu Tianxiang's dusty face, with an anxious look on his face, and hurriedly said.
"Do you know the dirty affairs of the Famous Sword Villa and the Immortal Sect?" Mu Tianxiang asked hurriedly without a pleasant greeting.
"Are you talking about those two things? I thought it was something important, and it was worth making a fuss. Shangguan Jin pursed his lips and said.
"That's it, it's okay for the two of them to play around," Shangguan Qinghe also said.
"Things may not be that simple...... Mu Tianxiang said worriedly.
At this time, I heard that Mu Tianxiang was coming, and Shangguan Haoran, Shangguan Haoyun and Shangguan Ping put down their work and came together.
"Tianxiang, do you have any other opinions on this matter?" Shangguan Ping said: "It is said that there is nothing, doesn't this happen often?"
"Yes, it happens a lot, but haven't you noticed a little bit of it?" Mu Tianxiang said.
"It's nothing, because of this kind of before, the Tianji master has also taken action," Shangguan Qinghe said.
"Yes, you don't say it, I haven't paid attention to it, it's a little abnormal, it is said that this should have subsided a long time ago, but now that even the army has been used, it is a bit too much. Shangguan Ping thought for a moment, nodded and said.
"Let's put aside the things that alarm the masters and the army. Mu Tianxiang said: "Let's analyze the cause of this again. This happened in Bright Moon City, a small city controlled by the Liuyun Sect. Suddenly, a beautiful dancing girl appeared, and tomorrow Yun and He Zhiqiang will come at the same time, and they happened to meet and had a conflict, and this girl suddenly disappeared afterwards, isn't it strange?"
"Aren't you men like that, when you see a beautiful woman, you can't walk. Shangguan Jin looked at everyone with contempt.
"Little sister, Mu Tianxiang is talking about business, don't mess around. Shangguan Qingyun said.
Mu Tianxiang smiled and said: "Even if the little sister is right, but I heard that He Zhiqiang beat Tomorrow Yun, and Tomorrow Yun was ready to admit it, but suddenly I don't know what the reason is. He also used his army and monks to rob the caravan of the Immortals. ”
"Is there a problem with this?" Shangguan Qingyun asked.
"If the third prince is wronged outside, can he use the army to solve it?" Mu Tianxiang said with a smile.
"Third child, he dares to ......," Shangguan Qinghe said without thinking about it.
"Tomorrow the clouds will be used, or elite. Mu Tianxiang said.
"Is it the city lord of the Famous Sword Villa who agreed. Shangguan Jin also thought that this matter was not simple and asked.
"If something like this happens, will the Shangguan City Lord agree to use the army?" asked Mu Tianxiang.
"No, absolutely not, it's too late to cover up, how can you agree to transfer the army. If the army is used for this matter, then it will be difficult to bring the army in the future, after all, there are no rules. And the army is not exactly the private army of the city lord. Shangguan Haoran said.
"The most terrifying thing is that I heard that more than a dozen of the prefecture-level monks were used, after all, the caravan guards of the Immortal Sect are not decorations. Qinghe probably doesn't have so many people around him, and tomorrow Yun will still be just a gentleman,......" Mu Tianxiang said.
"This ......" The people in the hall took a deep breath, some things, on the surface, everything seems to be normal, but it can't withstand the scrutiny of people with a heart.
"Why do you say they?" Shangguan Ping asked.
"I don't know, but I always feel that there are always people controlling and pushing this matter step by step, maybe the thing happened by accident, but so many things happened in the process of the development of things, and it is simply caused by accident, it can't be explained," Mu Tianxiang said.
"You said that someone was behind the scenes, making things ferment and expand. Shangguan Qingyun said.
Mu Tianxiang nodded, in the past few days on the road, the more Mu Tianxiang thought about it, the more wrong it became, but he always felt a little worse than the truth.
"This matter can't be caused by one side, only if both sides move at the same time, it is possible. Could it be that there is something wrong with the Famous Sword Villa?" Shangguan Qinghe felt incredible.
"That's not right, what is the Famous Sword Villa for? Even if the Famous Sword Villa wants to use this matter as an excuse to conquer the secular forces of the Immortal Sect, then he should greet us in advance, otherwise he can't withstand the army of a city lord?" Shangguan Haoyun is worthy of leading troops for many years and sees the problem.
"Yes, I can't figure it out," Mu Tianxiang was also puzzled.
"Isn't it, you often engage in intrigues and tricks, thinking of others like you, but in fact, the truth of the matter is just two smugglers. Shangguan Jin said inappropriately.
But who are the people in the hall, since the problem has been discovered, it is impossible to rest assured if you don't understand it. The crowd fell into deep thought.
"Elder Zhou is here. The butler said loudly.
Zhou Weiqing is here, what's the matter?
"Everyone is here," Zhou Weiqing entered the hall and said, "What are you discussing?"
's own people, Shangguan Haoran didn't hide it, so he told everyone's analysis.
"The alliance has also noticed this matter, it is very abnormal," Zhou Weiqing said: "However, this time, the sect leader of the Immortal Sect is exactly five hundred years old, and he invited a few senior brothers to the vast peak to watch the ceremony. ”
"That's good, prevention is better than prevention, and things are said early. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"What kind of birthday," Mu Tianxiang asked.
"The 500th birthday of the Elder Sect Master, the mother of the younger sister also went to attend it two days ago. Shangguan Qingyun said.
"Madame also went to participate?" Mu Tianxiang asked strangely.
"The Immortal Sect was originally a branch under the Heavenly Imperial Gate, and it has only recently become independent, so this time the Heavenly Imperial Sect sent the lady to come forward on behalf of the Heavenly Imperial Gate. Shangguan Haoran explained.
"Elder Zhou, where did you just say the banquet was held. Mu Tianxiang stood up and asked anxiously.
"Vast Peak," Zhou Weiqing said.
"It's broken," Mu Tianxiang patted his head and shouted in remorse.
"What's the matter, what's wrong with Tianxiang?" the crowd asked.
"Five hundred years old," Mu Tianxiang said
"Yes, so invite guests to celebrate. It's normal. Zhou Weiqing didn't understand.
"Five hundred years old, there are so many descendants of the sect leader of the Immortal Sect, they must all participate, but not every descendant has a high level of cultivation. What kind of place is that in the vast peak, ordinary monks can't go up, is it reasonable to set up a banquet in this place?" Mu Tianxiang said.
It's a little unreasonable, and everyone thinks that the development of things is a little wrong.
"Senior brother was also afraid that something would go wrong before he set off, so the four senior brothers went together, all of them were Tianji monks, plus a visiting elder of Tianji monks, five people, even if there was anything, they could deal with anything. Zhou Weiqing felt that it didn't matter.
"That is, Madame is also a Heavenly Extreme Monk, this time she led the people of the Heavenly Imperial Gate to watch the ceremony, and if she finds a problem, she will never stand by. Tianxiang, are you thinking too much? Shangguan Ping continued.
"It's not normal to transfer Mrs. away, think about it, Madame is the beloved daughter of the head of the Tianyumen, no matter how big the face of the Immortal Sect is, it will not be enough to call Mrs. back from thousands of miles away, and there will be no one else in the Tianyumen." Mu Tianxiang felt worse and worse, the truth of the matter was too terrible, Mu Tianxiang didn't dare to think about it.
"Six Heavenly Extreme Cultivators, no matter how powerful they are, they can't eat it even if they are supported by that little person from the Immortal Sect. Zhou Weiqing felt that Mu Tianxiang was too careful.
"If Madame returns to the sect, she will be placed under house arrest. In the vast peak, the Heavenly Imperial Gate, the Immortal Sect, and the Liuyun Sect set up an ambush at the same time, whether they were calculated or not, I don't know if the people of the alliance can resist?" Mu Tianxiang reluctantly said this terrible result.
"They...... The five Heavenly Extreme Cultivators, they also dared to think...... "Everyone is scared, if something really happens, it will be a catastrophe for everyone here, and the consequences are too terrifying."
"Aren't there all the "Thousand Miles of Transmission Notes" symbols? Now hurry up and contact to see if it's still too late. "Mu Tianxiang is a dead horse and a live horse doctor, and there is still a trace of luck in his heart.
Zhou Weiqing hurriedly took out "A Thousand Miles of Notes". This is a means of transmitting information over long distances, the price is very expensive, but others can not imitate or impersonate, only I can use it, the confidentiality is very good, generally only used in emergency moments, at this time I can't take care of these.
Silence, very silence! Zhou Weiqing sent one to each elder, but there was no reply!
"Madame?" asked Mu Tianxiang.
"Yes, Madame also left one when she left, saying that there was something important to inform her in time," Shangguan Haoran was not calm, and said hurriedly.
"Let's just say that Miss Shangguan let the monster hurt. When his life was in danger, he told his wife to come back quickly. Mu Tianxiang also didn't choose to speak.
"Why am I injured?" Shangguan Jin was also unwilling.
But the matter is urgent, and no one cares about it anymore. Shangguan Haoran hurriedly contacted.
There was no news.
Something happened, no matter how dull people are, they know that something is wrong, something is wrong.
"Tianxiang. Why did they do this?" Shangguan Haoyun asked.
"First through an accidental thing, the matter continues to make a big fuss, and then the other side uses this reason to say that the two sides will meet and mediate, and our side is not at ease, so we concentrated the elite in the past, thinking that it would be okay if there were more people, but this just fell into the enemy's tricks. With the intervention of the Heavenly Imperial Gate, other forces have joined forces, and the people on our side will definitely be wiped out if they are caught off guard. Mu Tianxiang made a simple analysis.
"Although they can beat us by conventional means. But the destructive power of the Heavenly Extreme Cultivators, they couldn't withstand it. Therefore, it is designed to take down our high-end combat power first, and then the loss will be much smaller when attacking. That's what they're for. Mu Tianxiang said.
"And I estimate that the Famous Sword Villa has also rebelled now, or at least the Ming Yuan Fei City Lord of the Famous Sword Villa can't control the situation. Mu Tianxiang said
"Why, the Heavenly Imperial Gate will take action against us? Madame, how can you say that she is also the beloved daughter of the head of the Heavenly Imperial Gate, and she doesn't look at the face of the monk or the face of the Buddha. It shouldn't be. Shangguan Qinghe said.
"I probably know why. Senior brother discovered a top-level spirit stone mine the year before last, and has been arranging for people to investigate in secret, thinking that someone leaked the secret and let Tianyumen know. Zhou Weiqing said with a long sigh.
Wealth is moving, and if there is this, do you need another reason? No! Everything makes sense.
"How many Heavenly Extreme Cultivators do we have now?" asked Mu Tianxiang.
"It turns out that with Madame, there are seven of us, and now I am the only one left, my cultivation is still the lowest, and this time I was deliberately kept by my senior brother to take care of the house. Zhou Weiqing said helplessly.
"My mother is fine," Shangguan Jin, who understood it, also began to worry about his mother's safety.
"It should be fine, after all, she is the beloved daughter of the head of the Heavenly Imperial Gate. Mu Tianxiang comforted.
But if you want to come back, it seems impossible. Looking at it now, Shangguan Jin's mother Zhang Huiruo is cultivating desperately, and it seems that she knows a lot of things, and she originally wanted to improve her cultivation to deter some people, but now everything is in vain.
The crisis came, and under the overturning of the monstrous waves, I don't know how many people could live.
