Chapter 202: Hidden Crisis
On the second day after Li Xuan returned to Fengyuan, Li Xuan walked around Fengyuan, and went to the Demon Palace Wonderland to visit Bai Xue, who was still evolving, and Shi Jingjing, who was training high-level fighters. and pestered to follow Li Xuan, and Li Xuan tried his best to stay in the Demon Palace Wonderland under the pretext of taking care of Bai Xue and helping him train fighters. I wanted to go by the way to see how those demon immortals were cultivating, but after thinking of Hu Yu's blood-spurting scene last time, Li Xuan still endured it, and just found Huang Tianxin and other disciples to guide them and do the obligation of being a master!
"We have 3,000 disciples in the Yuan Infant Period, 1,000 in the Out of Body Period, 200 in the Distraction Period, 90 in the Tribulation Period, and 36 in the Mahayana Period...... Originally, the Tribulation Period was a difficult hurdle to overcome, and many cultivators had fallen in the Tribulation Period and were wiped out by the Heavenly Tribulation, but the thirty-six of us were able to survive the Tribulation safely and smoothly enter the Mahayana Period, all thanks to the Childe!
Nangong Houtu was making a report, and when he said this, his eyes turned to Li Xuan to show gratitude, and his eyes seemed to have crystal tears, not only him, but everyone sitting there had the same expression as him, but Li Xuan didn't seem to appreciate it very much, so that these big men stared with tears in their eyes, and they were uncomfortable.
As soon as Li Xuan came out of the Black Demon Palace, he asked the five hall masters and nine elders of the Xuanji Gate to catch them, saying that it was rare to get together and hold this report meeting to report to Li Xuan on the exhibition of the Xuanji Gate in the past two years. These fourteen people are the backbone of the Xuanji Sect, they are all old monsters who have practiced for hundreds of years before Li Xuan, in these hundreds of years of cultivation life, they know that cultivation is against the sky, step by step is hard, and if they are not careful, there is a danger of destroying the divine form, their hundreds of years of cultivation can be said to be cautious, but even so, because their cultivation level is at the top of the earth cultivators, there is no one to guide them at all, and their mental methods are not complete, which makes their cultivation progress slow. Since following Li Xuan, Li Xuan not only guided them to practice, but also gave them the mental method, and also took out his most proud artifact magic weapon to form the Black Demon Palace, so that they can practice better inside, and when the calamity comes, they can also hide in the Black Demon Palace to survive the tribulation. They all had a very good foundation in cultivation, so after Li Xuan provided them with such a good environment, their cultivation improved by leaps and bounds, and the five hall masters, nine elders, and twelve guards with the highest cultivation all successfully reached the Mahayana period. There are also ten disciples who have reached the Mahayana period, five of whom are from the original four major families, and five of whom are those who have entered the Xuanji Sect two years ago.
Li Xuan listened to their report and felt very relieved, everything he did was not in vain, now the strength of the Xuanji Gate has increased greatly, but Li Xuan still feels that his strength is insufficient, he has fought with the people of the Jewel Star Gate, and the masters of the other party are not cultivators who can deal with them, even ordinary immortals may not be opponents, it seems that the strength needs to be strengthened.
Li Xuan nodded at Nangong Houtu, who was standing, and said, "Nangong Hall Master, you sit down first." I think some of you must know the strength of our opponent Xingzhumen, not to mention their warships, among their cultivators there are immortals and even Daluo Jin Immortal and above, although the number is not very large, but it is not comparable to us, so we can't be proud yet.
Listening to Li Xuan's words, everyone who was still a little proud just now sank their faces, Li Xuan was telling the truth, most of the people sitting here had gone to space with the Tianlong Army fleet and fought with the people of the Star Gate, although they had the free immortal armor protection given to them by Li Xuan, and they took advantage of some advantages in the battle with the Star Gate, but they were still more than a dozen people who could resist the enemy as an immortal-level cultivator. Seeing their expressions, Li Xuan knew that he couldn't hit them too much, and then said: "Although our strength is not comparable to them, but we can use equipment to make up for our shortcomings, thirty people in the Mahayana period and ninety people in the tribulation period I will give them the free immortal armor, although it is not a special mental method, the effect of the free immortal armor is not great, but it is best to use it to save your life, in addition, I will help you refine another pair of battle armor, that is to say, you can wear the free immortal armor inside, and wear another battle armor outside, and the free immortal armor to save your life, Warframes are used to fight, so that even if we are weaker, we will not be too bad, at least we can fight with them.
The elders and hall masters present were all very excited when they heard that Li Xuan was going to give them magic weapons and armors again, if they hadn't paid attention to their appearance, they might have jumped up in the venue, and there was nothing Li Xuan gave that was not a good thing.
After being excited for a while, Nangong Houtu continued to report on the topic: "These are the backbone of our Xuanji Gate, in addition to the Demon Hall, Hu Yu and they have not been idle in the past three years, not only have they summoned some powerful monsters to come in, but their own cultivation has also improved very quickly, and Nanhua, since you left, he has been practicing in the Black Demon Palace, but they don't care much about the world, so they didn't come to the meeting, but if they really want to fight with the Xingzhu Gate, they will definitely obey the dispatch......"
Li Xuan nodded, although the strength is still a lot worse, but the cultivation is slowly accumulated day by day, it is impossible to touch it at one touch, it is not in a hurry, now this kind of exhibition is already fast, can only wait patiently, at most, give them some good magic weapons, so that their combat effectiveness will rise.
Nangong Houtu gave Li Xuan a general introduction to the strength of the current Xuanji Gate, and when it came to the training of the newly recruited disciples, Nangong Houtu seemed to be a little dissatisfied and said to Li Xuan: "Childe, the qualifications of our newly recruited disciples are good, and the training effect is also good, but compared to the special forces of the Tianlong Army, they are much worse.
Li Xuan looked at the expression of the little resentful woman of Nangong Houtu, and was stunned for a moment, before he reacted, the special force of the Tianlong Army he said was actually the general name of the original Maple Team and the Thunder Team, every time he went out to stop the Xingzhu Gate, there would be a large number of special troops in the Tianlong Army fleet, specializing in dealing with the cultivators of the enemy army, Xuanji Gate had several times in order to find Li Xuan, and they also sent a large number of cultivators to accompany them out of common hatred and hatred, they were very familiar with the special forces of the Tianlong Army, and they were now members of the special forces who made rapid progress, That combat power is simply the combat power of cultivators who have practiced for hundreds of years, which makes them very jealous, if only the disciples of the Xuanji Sect could progress so quickly, but they also know that all this is caused by Li Xuan, so at this time they take the opportunity to see if Li Xuan can use the method of training special forces to recruit new disciples of the Xuanji Sect.
Li Xuan smiled and replied: "Don't envy others, now that we have a common enemy, even if you don't say it, I will also announce better training methods, so that we can train more masters to deal with the upcoming catastrophe."
The faces of those sitting there changed color a little, and they asked in unison: "The catastrophe that is coming soon, Childe is not joking, the entire fleet of the Star Gate has been ruined by you, and they can be regarded as a great loss of vitality, even if they want to come again, I think it should be ten years later!"
Li Xuan smiled coldly: "Don't be so optimistic, you have to be a little prepared for danger in times of peace, although I inadvertently defeated them this time, but who knows if they will jump off the wall in a hurry, besides, according to intelligence, it seems that it is not only the Star Gate that fights the idea of the earth, maybe the Star Gate is just a test pawn for those people." What we need to do is to prepare early and continuously enhance our strength, so as not to become the object of elimination.
The high-level meeting of the Xuanji Gate has been held for a day, and at the end, Li Xuancai and the other hall masters and elders of Nangong Houtu have been talking about the cultivation strength of the Xuanji Gate cultivators, as for the current economy of the Xuanji Gate, it has not been mentioned, and the Lotte who is responsible for the research of magic weapons and warships has not shown up, and can't help asking: "Why didn't Lotte come?"
Everyone's faces changed a little, and Nangong Houtu's face was a little uncomfortable and said: "That kid from Lotte stayed in the space research center all day to do research, and he never greeted us when he researched anything, and many research results were directly given to the government, if it weren't for the fact that we had some disciples there, we wouldn't know yet, and we didn't know if he was a person from our Xuanji Gate or a person from the government, and we didn't inform him this time."
Li Xuan saw that their faces were ugly, and he understood something, and he was secretly a little worried in his heart, don't make a fuss about this matter, these hall masters and elders are all arrogant and conceited lords, and the government is nothing in their eyes, and now Lotte is snubbing them for research, and it is normal for them to be angry, but now they should be united, so he comforted: "Now we have a common enemy, maybe Lotte also wants the government to study and manufacture his research results, And do not think wildly. ”
Dongfang Long glanced at Li Xuan, wanted to speak again and again, and finally said Shanshan: "It's better to be like this!"
Li Xuan glanced at the Dongfang Dragon, who seemed to be unwilling, and then looked at the other hall masters and elders, they all seemed to have indifferent expressions, which made Li Xuan wonder very much, what was going on? Could it be that Lotte really did something sorry for Xuanjimen, but that seems impossible, Li Xuan knows Lotte very well. Lotte is the kind of person who doesn't care much about power, and is more concerned about designing and manufacturing better magic weapons, but now he seems to be obsessed with building warships, and he has provided him with so many things that he is interested in, how could he betray himself, but if he really betrayed himself, Dongfang Long would not have such an expression when he mentioned him, and they would definitely use the most thunderous means to kill him. When did these old stubborns start playing dumb riddles with themselves, Li Xuan's eyes flashed, and he swept over everyone.
Although Dongfang Long and the others cultivated to a high level, they couldn't help but shudder under Li Xuan's fine light, and Li Xuan's bottomless eyes seemed to be able to see through their hearts. Seeing that Li Xuan didn't speak, as if waiting for an answer, Dongfang Long looked at the elders beside him, sighed and said stubbornly: "Childe, in fact, we are not dissatisfied with Lotte, but with the government. In the past two years, because of your absence, they have also tried their best to provide convenience for Kunlun on the grounds that they are fighting with the Star Gate and need stronger strength, and encouraged Kunlun to reorganize those scattered sects to form a force that can almost compete with us, and they are less and less concerned about our Xuanji Gate.
Li Xuan frowned, how could this be, originally the cultivation realm did not interfere in secular affairs, but this time in order to deal with the Xingzhu Gate, the Xuanji Gate had to support the government, but now what does the government mean, it actually supports Kunlun. Although Kunlun is also a 'friend' of the cultivation realm, everyone knows that Kunlun and Xuanjimen have an enmity, and now there is nothing to do, it is just because the overall situation is important, and the government will not support Kunlun to expand its power for no reason...... Li Xuan's heart was also very confused, he didn't know whether it was right or wrong for him to provide the battleship spaceship and some refining technology to the government in the past, he just hoped that there would be no conflict, it seemed that he had to deal with this matter carefully......
Li Xuan seemed to think of something and asked, "In the past few years, how has the situation of our company been?" ”
Originally, Li Xuan didn't care much about the enterprise, but just now he heard Dongfang Long say that the Xuanji Enterprise had been suppressed, which made Li Xuan frown a little, although the Xuanji Gate is a Xiuzhen sect, but the door still has to feed so many people, and there are many aspects that need to use money, and he also wants to hear how far the government has suppressed the Xuanji Gate Enterprise, so he has this question.
Dongfang Long pulled Nangong Houtu beside him, Nangong Houtu is in charge of the enterprise, of course, he knows the affairs of the Xuanji Enterprise best, Nangong Houtu did not postpone it, stood up and said: "I am in charge of this aspect, let me say it; First of all, in terms of policy, in the past, because we fully supported a lot of funds and personnel of the Space Research Center, and Gongzi also had a good relationship with the chairman, and the government also gave us a lot of preferential policies, since the general election of the Central Committee a year ago, the Central Committee has changed a group of new people, and the attitude of the Central Committee towards us has also changed greatly, not only did not give us preferential policies, but also severely cracked down on some of our gray companies, which greatly reduced our income in China, and many of our mines were also closed......
The more Li Xuan listened, the more he frowned, and he also had some spectrum in his heart, it turned out that the central government had changed people, no wonder these things appeared, and each generation of people in power would have different means, but Xuanji Enterprise is such a large enterprise group, and it seems that the state is a little inappropriate to deal with it. Li Xuan looked at these people who could dominate the Xuanji enterprise here, if it weren't for their own reasons, they would have done something unfavorable to the country a long time ago, they no longer care about any country, their group of cultivators have all experienced various changes of the times, monsters who have lived for hundreds of thousands of years, they look at the concept of the country very lightly, and they all have strong strength, they won't just forget it, the reason why they didn't move is just that they have such a master of their own, they must have to do it after they come back, If the central authorities cannot give them a satisfactory answer, they may do something out of the ordinary, and they must handle this matter well, otherwise they will have endless troubles. To be honest, after listening to Nangong Houtu's words, Li Xuan was also a little dissatisfied with the current central government, his own Xuanji enterprise has paid so much for the country, and there is no credit and hard work, why don't they know to take care of the emotions of Xuanjimen?
It seems that I have to find Old Man Zeng and ask about the affairs of the central government!
On a gray planet not far from the black pole star, there are seventy or eighty huge warships parked, and there is a huge warship in the middle, it can be seen from the location of the park, seventy or eighty warships on the periphery protect the giant ship in the middle, each battleship has a strange pattern, a red wolf, there is a dazzling gem at the center of the wolf's eyebrows, and there are many dazzling stars around the wolf, this pattern is the sign of the jewel star house.
This wolf is very majestic, but these huge warships are very embarrassed, more than half of the warships are scarred, and many maintenance personnel are nervously repairing these warships.
If Li Xuan was here, he would definitely recognize that the huge battleship in the middle was not the same as the Stargate Fleet that was chasing the Tianlong Army fleet around here some time ago? The warships on the side were also a part of that fleet, but only seventy or eighty of the thousands of warships at that time were left, and more than half were wounded.
"Your name is Jiang Jue?" In the class battleship, Xingyu asked with a cold face, looking at the person kneeling on the ground in front of him.
"Young Sect Master, his subordinates are Jiang Jue, the Twenty-Eight Houses of the Twenty-Eight Houses of the Star Hall under the Sect. It is the star lord under the constellation Xuanwu. Jiang Jue's voice trembled a little, this time the loss was so heavy, the young master would definitely find a scapegoat, he had been to the earth and brought back a lot of information on the earth, and because he brought back so much information, although he lost some manpower during the mission, he was still promoted to one of the four directors of the Xingshu Gate Xingshu Hall, but this year, after entering the death system, countless fleets were blocked one after another, and this time it was even worse, almost all of them were wiped out.
(The Nakshatra Hall under the Nakshatra Gate is a place to train new disciples, and the disciples are divided into 28 Nakshatras (28 squads), and these 28 Nakshatras are divided into four groups with seven Nakshatras as a brigade and are guided by four instructors.) They are Qinglong: Keisu, Tail Su, Xinsu, Fangsu, Shisu, Kangsu, Jiaosu; Xuanwu: Dousu, Niusu, Female, Void, Dangerous, Room, Bisu; White Tiger: Kuisu, Lousu, Stomach, Pleiades, Yesu, Betelgeuse, Misu; Suzaku: Onijuku, Stars, Willows, Wings, Wells, Tsunaku, Zhangjuku. And Jiang Juewei is the star lord of Xuanwu's brigade, and he also has a certain amount of power. )
"I remember that the intelligence you brought back said that the earth has not yet been able to enter the space age, but their spaceships are ......" Xingyu glanced at Jiang Jue, who was kneeling on the ground and broke out in a cold sweat, and sneered: "Okay, don't talk about their warships, even if they copy ours!"
"Thank you, young master!
Jiang Jue couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this, fortunately, if he really investigates it, the difference between his intelligence and the real strength of the earth is more than 108,000 miles, for such a mistake, there is only a dead end, and now since the young master does not mention this aspect, it means that he still has a chance to live.
Xingyu still asked coldly, "I heard, did you recognize that person?"
Jiang Jue hurriedly replied: "Yes, I know that person, he is Li Xuan, the master of the Xuanji Gate, I also fought with him, although his strength was a little more beneficial than mine at that time, but at most he was only a cultivation at the ground level, but I don't know what's going on, this time there is such a stake!" I think he has at least the third level or above now!
"Humph! It only took three years to be able to upgrade from the first level of the ground level to the level of the third level or above, and you can be promoted so easily as a local level master? I think Li Xuan deliberately lied to you, paralyzed you, and asked you to bring the false news back to Jewel Star! Xingyu showed a fierce expression on his face, Jiang Jue, who was kneeling on the ground, was really desperate, listening to Xingyu's words, he also thought of this, and the sweat had already wet the floor under him.
"Such a big loss this time, it can be said that it was all caused by your intelligence mistakes, so that we lost so many warships before we saw the Holy Star Earth, and one elder was destroyed...... "Xingyu looked at Jiang Jue coldly and said slowly.
Jiang Jue has been in the earth for so long, and instigated the Chinese cultivators to form a cultivation alliance, making the Chinese cultivation world a mess, naturally he will not be a fool, he immediately heard that the young master did not want him to carry the black pot and wanted to execute him, he also saw a glimmer of life, and immediately kowtowed to Xingyu a few times, and shouted at the same time: "Young Sect Master, our Xingsutang is your power, you can't ignore me." ”
Xingyu glanced at Jiang Jue, finally showed a smile on his face, nodded and said: "Since you said that it is my person, then of course I will not ignore you, but you also know how big your mistake is this time, if there is no credit for a little credit, I can't save you from such a big loss."
"Please ask the young master to command, even if I go up to the knife mountain and go down to the oil pot, I won't frown.
Xingyu stood up, looked at the gray patch outside through the porthole, and said, "Go up the knife mountain and go down to the oil pot?" I won't be so cruel, I just want you to go to the Holy Star Earth again and give me a clear investigation of their powers; Although we have suffered a lot this time, I think Master Venerable He will definitely not give up on the Holy Star Earth, so we can only do what he wants a little better now to pave the way for him to conquer the Earth.
Xingyu turned his head and looked at Jiang Jue, who was still kneeling on the ground, and said, "You get up first, what do you think of my thoughts?"
Jiang Jue looked at the number two person in the Star Gate in front of him, he was the candidate with the best chance to inherit the master of the Gate, but this time because of Li Xuan's appearance, the expeditionary fleet was almost wiped out, if he didn't want to save it, then he was likely to lose the right to be the heir, even if he took himself to blame, it wouldn't help him much. Thinking that the smart young master would not do such a stupid thing, Jiang Jue believed that the young master's decision this time would not harm him.
"The young master's decision is absolutely wise, you must know that the door master can actually give up the glorious career on the gem star in order to return to the holy star earth, it can be seen that his determination, I think as long as we can clear the way forward for him, the old man of the door master will not care about our losses!" Jiang Jue seized the opportunity to show his wisdom to the young master.
Jiang Jue's cultivation can only be regarded as average in the Twenty-Eight Houses, but he can climb to the position of the Lord of the Four Stars in the Twenty-Eight Nights, which can only show that he is the type of person who uses his brain, and he sees the situation inside the Star Gate very thoroughly, which is also the reason why Xingyu came to him.
Xingyu pondered for a while, and said coldly: "You go out and think about it, it's best to write a plan for me, since Li Xuan and they were able to deceive you last time, it proves that they are not fools, if you don't think of a comprehensive countermeasure, you will go in vain this time."
After Jiang Jue went out, another person appeared in Xingyu's room, and as soon as he appeared, he laughed and said, "Congratulations to the young master, you have received another general!" ”
