For Ye Chen's unpretentious and refreshing performance, Lan Yu also smiled knowingly, and secretly had a good impression of Ye Chen.

"Senior Brother Lan, how did you know we were here?"

Su Tianxin looked at Lan Yu, and was also quite grateful in his heart, this time things evolved like this, if Lan Yu hadn't arrived in time, maybe all of them would have died here.

This trip to the cave mansion was originally a conspiracy laid out by the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect.

At this moment, in that cave mansion, there are already hundreds of warriors who have died, corpses are all over the ground, blood is like a river, the picture is extremely tragic, and there are very few people who can survive.

"Actually, I received an order from the third prince to come here. Lan Yu's words made everyone frown, and they said in unison: "Third prince?"

Lan Yu nodded and said, "Not long after you left the Feather Sect, the third prince noticed the strangeness of the whole thing, and after some investigation, he asked me to come here to rescue you, fortunately, I just caught up with a coincidence." ”

As he spoke, Lan Yu's gaze fell on Ye Chen's body, with a smile on his face, as if his words were aimed at him.

In this regard, Ye Chen is also aware of it.

The reason why the three princes are big names in the Qin Wu Dynasty is that they pay special attention to them, it is estimated that the reason is because the three princes are obsessed with Liu Muyun, but Liu Muyun has feelings for Ye Chen.

Under the relationship between the two, he will naturally pay more attention to Ye Chen.

"Now that the matter has been satisfactorily resolved, let's return to the Feather Sect. Su Tianxin suddenly spoke, interrupting the slightly awkward atmosphere, and turned his head and asked, "Senior Brother Lan, are you also returning with us?"

"It's okay, you are seriously injured, I can take care of it, and I just happened to tell you about the recent changes in the imperial city, especially Ye Chen, you must listen carefully. ”

"Me?"

Hearing Lan Yu's words, Ye Chen was also slightly stunned.

On the way back, with Lan Yu's care, naturally there was no accident, and after just half a day, everyone left the cave and returned safely to the black city.

And during this time, with the help of the Life Creation Pill, Ye Chen's injuries in his body had completely recovered, and even the Yuan Force had been slightly improved, and the medicinal effect was amazing.

Inside the restaurant.

Ye Chen and the others sat around a table, and while enjoying the wine and food, they were also quietly listening to what Lan Yu said.

"At the end of the year, the sect will hold an inner gate selection, this selection is organized by the Imperial Sword Hall, and just yesterday, they have announced that this selection will be in the form of a hunting competition. ”

"Hunting race?" Su Tianxin's eyes narrowed slightly, obviously a little surprised.

Ye Chen asked, "What is the Hunting Competition?"

"The so-called hunting competition is to let all the participants coexist in a space, in this space, you can hunt spirit beasts, you can also do it to others, so as to capture valuable points, and when the points are enough, it means that you have passed the selection and are qualified to become an inner disciple. ”

Li Jing immediately explained, which made Ye Chen suddenly realize that this hunting competition was not much different from the method used by the Lin family back then, and the rules were relatively simple.

"The rules are simple, but there are too many uncertainties. Su Tianxin looked at Ye Chen and said suddenly: "All the players are in one space, it is easy to besiege, and it is an independent space, even if there are casualties, it is difficult to stop it in time." ”

"Senior Sister Su is right, but any use of the hunting competition as a selection method will produce a large number of deaths, and I have reliable information that the reason why the Imperial Sword Hall chose the hunting competition is largely because of you, Ye Chen. ”

Lan Yu's voice became a little heavy, and his face became much more serious.

"The Imperial Sword Hall was founded by Yang Qizhi, and when you were in the outer city that day, you first injured the two members of the Yang family, and then seriously injured Gu Lei, making him lose face, and even, in front of many outer disciples, you didn't give the Imperial Sword Hall face at all, just ask, how can he tolerate you in his eyes?"

Ye Chen was stunned for a moment, and before he could speak, he heard Su Tianxin's voice coming: "Yang Qizhi, the three heads of the Yang family, is quite prestigious in the imperial dynasty, belongs to the second prince's faction, and is insidious, this person, you have to guard against it." ”

"That's right, this time he just wants to use the hunting competition to prevent Ye Chen from entering the inner door, and even he will use his hands and feet in the hunting competition, so that you will die directly inside. ”

Blue Feather is not sensational.

The place where the hunting tournament was held was an independent space, and in that space, most of the people belonged to the Imperial Sword Hall, even if they killed Ye Chen, it would be difficult for others to find the horse's feet.

"In addition to Yang Qizhi, the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect has also begun to have a lot of movement. ”

Lan Yu spoke: "As you can see, during this trip to the Cave Mansion, the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect has already begun to weaken the strength of other forces, in recent years, they have been deliberately developing, and they already have an extremely strong foundation, just from the fact that they dare to attack the disciples of the Crystal Palace, it can be seen that they are now not afraid of the Crystal Palace. ”

"You mean, the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect wants to replace the Crystal Palace and become the head of the Eight Great Forces?"

As soon as the words fell, Su Tianxin immediately shook his head and said: "This is absolutely impossible, the Palace Master of the Crystal Palace is a strong man of the Holy Dao, and he has an inextricable relationship with the royal family, what will the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect use to replace the Crystal Palace." ”

"No, it's definitely possible. ”

Lan Yu's tone was extremely determined: "The second prince Fang Li, in recent years, has recruited a lot of strange people, according to legend, some people are even from strange races, these people are all arranged into the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, so that the strength of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect is a lot stronger, in a sense, the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect already has the ability to match the Crystal Palace." ”

"Moreover, in the Imperial City, many noble families began to take refuge in the second prince, and under the pressure of these noble clans, the Crystal Palace suffered a lot of suppression, even the one in the Crystal Palace was also suppressed. ”

After saying that, everyone fell into silence.

The royal family, the wang family, and the sect, the three are strictly hierarchical, and one of them affects the whole body, and the change of any one will make the other two have a great reaction.

In particular, the battle of royalty affects almost all aspects.

"By the way, I heard that you and Lu Chuanfeng of the Imperial Sword Hall are going to have a life-and-death battle before the selection of the inner gate, but is there such a thing?" Lan Yu turned his head to look at Ye Chen, he had also heard about this matter.

"Exactly. Ye Chen nodded and replied.

"Lu Chuanfeng's swordsmanship is good, and his cultivation is quite high, but compared with you, there is still a big gap in strength, however, you can't be careless, recently the Lu family where he is is also took refuge in the second prince, the second prince seems to be quite fond of this person, and I heard that he also gave him a sword. ”

"Sword?" Ye Chen was a little helpless, the second prince on the left and the second prince on the right, the two of them seemed to have an inexplicable relationship, and they were both influencing each other.

Lan Yu nodded: "What the specific situation is, I don't know too much, in short, now that there are constant ups and downs in the imperial city, the second prince has begun to blatantly compete with the prince for power, and is constantly recruiting genius masters, if you are willing to obey him, it will be fine, but if there is a little contradiction with him, I am afraid that things will not be easy to do." ”

When he said this, Lan Yu deliberately raised his voice, and a strange color flashed in his gaze when he looked at Ye Chen.

A word to readers:

S: I've recovered from a serious illness and started to update normally, brothers and sisters, I won't let you down anymore.

At nightfall.

Ye Chen did not enter the cultivation state, but sat cross-legged on the bed, waiting quietly.

"Coming?"

His eyes opened, and beyond the window, a familiar figure passed.

It was Blue Feather who came.

"Out talking?"

Lan Yu pointed outside, and then the two of them came to an attic in the courtyard, where there was a stone table, which was filled with fine food and wine, and looked extremely rich.

Picking up a glass of wine, Lan Yu handed it to Ye Chen, but saw Ye Chen wave his hand and said, "If there is anything, you can just say it directly, no need to beat around the bush." ”

"Senior Brother Ye is quick to talk, and he is really bold. ”

Lan Yu put down the wine glass, looked directly at Ye Chen, and said lightly: "Today's trip, I greatly admire Senior Brother Ye's strength, in a few years, he will definitely become a generation of young talents, so, on behalf of the three princes, I hope you can join us." ”

Ye Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, and he smiled lightly: "Join you?" do you mean to let me join the Three Princes' faction and help him win the throne?"

"That's right. ”

Lan Yu stared at Ye Chen and said: "The third prince is eloquent and upright, different from the tyranny of the crown prince, and even more different from the insidious and cunning of the second prince, it is a generation of Ming monarchs, as long as you are willing to join our faction, the third prince will definitely vigorously cultivate you and make you a super genius who shocks the dynasty." ”

When the words fell, Lan Yu paused for a moment, while Ye Chen also remained silent.

At this time, the night was thick, a breeze blew by, blowing Ye Chen's long black hair, and under the handsome face, it was as deep and quiet as a lake.

"I refuse. ”

Ye Chen's voice was not loud, but it clearly came into Lan Yu's ears, making Lan Yu's eyes condense slightly, and he asked suspiciously, "What is the reason for refusal?"

"First, I am free by nature and do not want to be involved in the so-called dispute over the throne. ”

"Second, I joined the Feather Sect in order to be able to let Yao'er survive happily and worry-free, the battle for the throne has a great impact, and I don't want to disturb Yao'er's normal life because of this. ”

"Third, I don't like to owe people favors. ”

"So, I decline your invitation, hoping that after tonight's conversation, you will give up this idea and not come and disturb my life. ”

After speaking, Ye Chen drank all the wine in the wine glass, strode out, and prepared to leave the restaurant.

"Slow!"

Lan Yu stretched out his hand to stop Ye Chen, his voice suddenly became much more solemn, and said: "I once heard Lin Guanqi say that you are frank by nature, and you are not a king, not a country, not a self, just to protect the people you value, but is there such a thing?"

"Lin Guanqi, who is he?" Ye Chen was stunned.

"The eldest son of the Lin clan, a chess idiot, others call him a chess boy. Lan Yu saw Ye Chen stop, and he also breathed a sigh of relief slightly: "When you were in the outer gate assessment that day, you helped him break through the shackles of cultivation, and he has always praised you, and I heard that he also gave you the Nine Xuan Chess Table, which has become a big news in the imperial city." ”

"Odd news?"

Speaking of this, Ye Chen suddenly remembered that there was still such a thing.

"That Nine Xuan Chess Table, is the treasure of the Lin clan, ranked as a heaven-level spiritual treasure, can allow cultivators to enter the illusion of the chess table, cultivate the heart with illusion, stabilize the spiritual platform, the effect is great, after he gave this thing to you, just returned to the Lin clan, he was almost crippled by his father, you say, is this a big miracle?"

Heaven-level spirit treasure!

Ye Chen's eyes were a little dull, since that day, he had been concentrating on cultivation, and he had forgotten the existence of the Nine Xuan Chess Table, in his eyes, Lin Guanqi would definitely not be valuable if he sent the Nine Xuan Chess Platform so easily.

Who knows, that chess table is actually a heaven-level spirit treasure.

It is also a rare spiritual treasure that can assist martial artists in their cultivation, and its value is not much lower than that of the Beicang Sword, and even from a certain point of view, it is slightly superior.

"Then how is he doing now?" Ye Chen scratched his head, this Lin Guanqi is really a strange person, the treasure of his own clan, he gave it away like this, and if it was himself, he would be angry half to death.

Lan Yu shrugged his shoulders and said casually: "He is the son of the Lin family, he is talented, and he is one of the top ten sons, so naturally he will not worry about his life, but you can also rest assured, the Lin family is a military family, and since Lin Guanqi gave you the Jiuxuan Chess Table, then the Lin family will definitely not let you return it with both hands." ”

"And such a family?" Ye Chen said secretly.

Along the way, he didn't have much affection for the disciples of these families, they were stubborn by nature, perverse, arrogant and domineering, and their exit was the untouchables.

When I heard what Lan Yu said today, I really wanted to visit the Lin family in his mouth.

Perhaps seeing Ye Chen's thoughts, Lan Yu said with a smile: "In the imperial city, there are countless wang clans, these wang clans can be inherited for a hundred years, all of them have his advantages, you are a little prejudiced, in addition to the Lin family, the Su family, the Bai family, the Lu family and other families are all famous families, not arrogant and domineering." ”

"Then may I ask, which prince did the Lin family submit to?" Ye Chen suddenly became interested.

"The Three Princes. Lan Yu immediately replied: "Actually, it's not just the Lin family, but all the well-known families in the imperial city have joined the faction of the three princes, even Liu Muyun is no exception. ”

At this point, the eyes of the two looked at each other, and a strange atmosphere suddenly made the entire space freeze.

However, after a while, Lan Yu laughed at himself and said: Now I only want to assist the third prince to ascend to the throne, and I don't have too much thought about the affairs of my children, but I want to advise Senior Brother Ye here, although Mu Yun is good, she is not a woman that you and I can touch, I hope you still cut off the root of love as soon as possible, and don't fall deeper and deeper. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Ye Chen suddenly turned his head, and a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes.

"To put it simply, Mu Yun is a person from another world, and you and I, even if we are extremely poor all our lives, it is impossible to touch the edge of that world, Senior Brother Ye is not too late to give up now. ”

After Lan Yu finished speaking, he strode out of the attic.

Groov!

As soon as he took a few steps, he suddenly stopped, turned his head, and said to Ye Chen: "What I said tonight is from the bottom of my heart, Senior Brother Ye, after you return to the room, you should think about it a lot, this sky of Tianhua Continent is too big, too big for you to imagine." ”

After saying this, Lan Yu let out a long sigh.

With the cold night wind, the back looked so helpless and lonely.

Shout!

Just after Lan Yu left, a shadow suddenly fell.

Su Tianxin stood beside Ye Chen, looking at the direction Lan Yu left with a slightly cold face, then looked at Ye Chen, and said, "What did he tell you?"

"It's just a few trifles. Ye Chen withdrew his gaze and said casually.

"Trivia?" Su Tianxin frowned, hesitated, and said, "He shouldn't have told you about Mu Yun, right?"

Ye Chen looked at the hot woman in front of him and shook his head: "No, he just said that I should cut off the root of my love, don't pester Mu Yun, and there is nothing else." ”

"Then what is your decision?" Su Tianxin turned his head and asked, his eyes flickering.

As Liu Muyun's good sister, Su Tianxin naturally knew that Liu Muyun was a character from that place, so she was very curious about what choice Ye Chen would make under Lan Yu's persuasion.
