Chapter 1197: The Whetstone
You must know that these old antiques are super powerhouses of the Supreme Heavenly King, and each of them can be said to be standing at the peak of the Eastern Regions continent.
In the Hall of the Heavenly King, there are countless people who are eager to be favored by them, and then worship under their doors.
"That is the merchant's Taizu, the old man of the heavenless!The one next to him should be the merchant's Taizong Shangtang!"
Just look at the first two to appear, both dressed in dark blue robes, with bright hair like snow.
One of them has eyebrows like white silkworms and a three-foot silver hair under his chin, giving people a sense of floating like a fairy.
This gentleman is the old antique of the merchant in the mouth of everyone, and the ancestor of the heavenless ancestor is lawless.
And the man beside him had a cold gaze and a strong short white beard under his chin, giving people a sense of cold and resoluteness.
This gentleman's name is Shang Tang, the realm of Dacheng Tianwang, and he is a generation later than Shang Wutian in terms of generation.
Therefore, in the merchant habit of managing the business is called Taizu, and the business soup is called Taizong.
It can be said that these two people are the real optimus pillars of the merchant today. The merchant can become a super-first-class family, relying on these two people.
Therefore, at this moment, everyone lowered their heads one after another, with awe in their hearts, and did not dare to have the slightest disrespect for these two people.
"What a powerful character!" Shan Meng and the others' hearts trembled violently.
The powerhouses of the Heavenly King Realm, even with just one look and one breath, were enough to kill them thousands of times. This huge gap in strength is simply not something that willpower can make up.
"Senior sister, what is the strength of these two?" Xiao Lingfeng said.
He's seen the world anyway, so he's relatively calmer than the others.
"According to what my parents said, Shang Tang's strength is in the Heavenly King Palace, except for those few old antiques, it should be ranked third!" Ji Lanying said.
"Heh, third!" Xiao Lingfeng smiled, "Could it be that the first and second are Ling Zun and Ling Tang?"
"Clever!" Ji Lanying winked playfully.
And at this time, the crowd became a sensation again: "Look! Those two are Danzun Ancestor and Xuanji Ancestor!"
Everyone looked up and saw two silver-haired old men coming together. One of them wore a gray robe, and the other a white robe.
"That's right, it's them!"
"The one next to Xuanji Ancestor is Ji Lantian. The one beside the Danzun Ancestor...... Could it be Lingyan Pavilion Master Crane Lingyan?"
Just beside the two ancestors, followed by two handsome young people.
One of them was recognized as Ji Lantian, and the other was something that most people felt familiar.
After all, He Lingyan rarely walks around the sect on weekdays, and even if he was three against three last year, he never showed up. So for most people, he's an enigmatic man.
And today, when people saw He Lingyan, they were immediately attracted by his temperament.
People even feel that just in terms of temperament, even Danzun Ancestor can't compare with it.
Of course, Danzun Ancestor naturally didn't mind this, and he looked at He Lingyan's eyes full of satisfaction, as if he was looking at his own grandson.
Soon, the three ancestors sat down separately. Shang Tang went to the seat of the Dacheng Heavenly King. As for Ji Lantian and He Lingyan, they stood behind the two ancestors.
As soon as Danzun Ancestor sat down, his eyes swept casually in the crowd. Immediately, it seemed that he was communicating something with Helingyan and Xuanji Ancestor.
The others didn't care too much about this, but the eyes of Ji Lanying, Xiao Lingfeng and others were focused on Xue Linglong.
Because they noticed that Danzun Ancestor's gaze had stayed on the girl's body for a short time just now, and then he said something to He Lingyan.
"It looks like Danzun Ancestor is paying attention to you!" Ji Lanying said with a smile.
"I guess he saw that I had refined his Chaos Gu Dan!" Xue Linglong also set her eyes on Danzun Ancestor.
Coincidentally, after the ancestor and Xuanji ancestor said a few words, they turned their eyes over again, and they looked at Xue Linglong in the eye.
The girl saw that a smile seemed to flash in the ancestor's eyes, and then it returned to normal.
The crowd is boiling more and more, this year's event is indeed unprecedented, and there are three old antiques in one go, which is rare in the past.
And some people are even more eager, wanting to see if there will be other old antiques coming?
But in the end, there seems to be no movement in the fairy mountain, and those old antiques are probably either in retreat, or they have not returned!
"Yang Xiao, why hasn't he come yet, several ancestors have arrived!" Ji Lanying looked left and right, looking quite anxious.
You must know that the reason why they attach so much importance to this grand event is to be able to stand out in front of these old antiques, and then hope to be favored by them, so that the War King Palace can continue to exist in the Heavenly King Palace. If you miss this opportunity, you will have to wait another 30 years!
Of course, Ji Lanying was anxious there, and the people in the merchant couldn't sit still at the moment.
It stands to reason that this time the plan should be perfect, but with the previous freshman task, Yang Xiao's experience at the last moment made it difficult for merchants to feel at ease if they didn't get the final news.
"Jiu Ming, what is the situation, there should be a reply, right?" Shang Jiuxiao frowned and asked.
He and Shang Jiuting are brothers, and there is a bond between them that ordinary people can't match.
And just now, there was a faint sense of foreboding in his heart, which made him feel like he was on pins and needles for a while.
Shang Jiuming also felt a little wrong at this moment.
At that time just now, he was constantly sending messages to Shang Jiuting, and even Shangguan Sa, Yu Wenhui, Xiahou Zhen, and even Xia Wentian went to the news.
But in the end, there was not a single reply!
This is strange!
At this moment, there was a sound in the distance, followed by a voice from the crowd opposite: "Boss, Kuroko, you're back!"
Everyone looked up and saw five figures in the distance stepping into the void.
is the first person, handsome and extraordinary, who can it be if it is not Yang Xiao?
Behind him, there were four energetic young people, one of whom was as black as charcoal, it was Liu He, a sunspot.
And seeing them, Shan Meng waved vigorously there, and Xue Linglong, Ji Lanying and others also showed smiles on their faces.
However, they rejoiced, and the merchants were completely stupid.
How is this possible, how can this Yang Xiao come back alive and bring back none of the four hostages! What about the others? What about Shang Jiuting? What about Shangguan Sa? What about Yu Wenhui? Where did Xia Houzhen go?
Shang Jiuxiao looked at Shang Jiuxiao, Shang Jiuming looked at Shang Jiuxiao, everyone stared at each other, and couldn't guess what was going on at all.
"Yang Xiao!" At this time, Ji Lanying jumped and greeted Yang Xiao with Xue Linglong.
Although they are very confident in Yang Xiao, it would be a lie to say that they are not worried about him at all. Now seeing the return of the big living people, they are 10,000 relieved in their hearts.
"I've seen Senior Sister! Linglong Girl!" Liu He and the others hugged their fists respectfully at Ji Lanying and Xue Linglong, with respect and gratitude on their faces.
Soon, everyone fell into the clouds, Xiao Lingfeng and they also stepped forward to greet them, and the side of the Battle King Hall laughed for a while.
While they were laughing, Yang Xiao could clearly feel the cold gaze coming from behind him.
At this moment, I suddenly heard a voice from the crowd: "Yang Xiao!
Everyone followed the sound and looked, only to see that the person who spoke was Xiahou Huang.
I saw Xiahou Huang's eyes cold, and his whole body was full of anger, like an angry lion, eager to devour Yang Xiao alive.
As the elder of the Xiahou family, he is naturally also in charge of the ancestral hall of the clan at the same time.
Not long ago, news came from the ancestral hall that Xiahou's fate card had really dimmed, and he was afraid that his life was already in danger.
Since Xiahou Gon died on the Fengyun Battle Platform, Xiahou Zhen has become one of the greatest hopes for the future of the Xiahou family.
But who would have thought that now that this hope has been lost, how can this still make Xiahou Huang stay calm?
After listening to Xiahou Huang's question, Yang Xiao looked at each other like an idiot, and said, "Ridiculous, how is Xiahou really doing, why are you here to ask me?"
"Hmph, he left with you just now!" Xiahou Huang roared.
"Heh, should I know about him when I leave with me? Don't you know why we left just now? Do you want me to tell you in front of everyone?" Yang Xiao asked rhetorically.
"You ......" Xiahou Huang was speechless for a while.
Today's incident is indeed faceless, but the merchant has always wanted to keep it secret, how dare he disobey?
On the merchant's side, they also got the news at this time that Xiahou Zhen was dead, and Shangguan Sa, Yu Wenhui and Shang Jiuting were missing.
Of course, if these news are not the most shocking, then the next news is to shock the merchants: according to the news from the Tianlou, Xia Wentian and the ten guards he brought were all wiped out! And the time interval between the eleven people being killed will not exceed one cup of tea, which is almost an instant kill!
"How is that possible...... Xia Wentian was killed in seconds? Could it be that this Yang Xiao is really so powerful?"
"Impossible!" Shang Jiuxi glanced at the news and immediately denied it, "I'm afraid it must be because this Yang Xiao has some weird magic weapon on his body, and that Xia Wentian is too light on the enemy!"
"Xia Wentian is not the kind of person who is easy to underestimate the enemy!" Shang Jiuxiao said in a deep voice.
He has fought with Xia Wentian several times, and he knows each other well. In his opinion, Xia Wentian may be a little reckless, but he is by no means a light enemy. In particular, this person is thick and fine, and rarely capsizes in the gutter, which is why the last trip to Hualong Bay made him so frustrated, and he was really played too hard by Yang Xiao.
And just when the merchant and the Xiahou family were silent, they heard Ji Lantian's voice coming from the side of Xuanji Ancestor: "Yang Xiao, what happened?
"Of course you can!" Yang Xiao nodded.
Originally, Xiahou Huang's language jam made him a little difficult to take over the stubble, but now that Ji Lantian has given him a chance, he naturally has to take advantage of it.
Seeing Yang Xiao's cold and sharp gaze, he glanced at Xiahou Huang and the merchants, and said, "If you think about it, Ji Tianhou must know that this merchant has always wanted me Yang Xiao to die." It's just that they are not my opponents, so they have thought of some dirty methods that are ugly for chickens and dogs!"
"Yang Xiao!" saw Shang Zihuan roaring angrily, "I advise you to pay attention to your words and deeds!"
"What? Could it be that Yang Xiao said something wrong?" As soon as Shang Zihuan's voice fell, he heard Ji Lantian say coldly.
"You ......" Shang Zihuan was about to retort, but he felt Ji Lantian's might, and he immediately swallowed his words back.
Today's Ji Lantian seems to be so strong that he can't fathom it.
And Shang Ziyuan, who was beside Shang Zihuan, as well as Shang Zijun, Shang Zikun, and Shang Zixuan, who had just returned, were also silent at this moment.
Although, the biggest purpose of the few of them coming back this time was to kill Ji Lantian's majesty. It's just that Ji Lantian is now standing next to Xuanji Ancestor, and that old antique is an existence that Shang Wutian is afraid of.
Don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, at this time, it is better not to tear your face with Ji Lantian too early.
Seeing that several brothers were dumbfounded, Shang Zihuan could only stop talking.
Ji Lantian sneered and said to Yang Xiao: "Okay, Yang Xiao, you can say it!"
"Obey!" Yang Xiao clenched his fists gratefully at Ji Lantian and continued, "Last year, when I was training in Hualong Bay, I had some encounters with Xia Wentian who was mending the Heavenly Tower. After the merchant knew about this, he secretly colluded with Xia Wentian. In the end, this Xia Wentian took the four brothers of my War King Palace as hostages and imprisoned them in the Devil's Forest! At the same time, the merchant asked Shang Jiuting, Shangguan Sa, Yu Wenhui, and Xiahou Zhen to provoke me and let me go to the Devil's Forest alone to save people. I think as long as you are a person who understands, you will know what they are going to do, right? I said that they will only have some dirty methods that roosters and dogs and thieves can see, is it wrong? As a member of the Heavenly King Palace, I, Yang Xiao, am really ashamed to be in the company of such people, and it will dirty my eyes if I look at them more!"
"Boom-"
As soon as these words came out, the audience was boiling.
No one knew that the dignified No. 1 family merchant in the Eastern Regions could do such a thing in order to assassinate Yang Xiao!
In particular, they secretly colluded with Mending Tianlou, in a vain attempt to dissociate themselves from themselves under the pretense of other people's hands, which is simply a shame to be thrown home!
Those families who were not dealing with the merchants in the first place, but dared not speak out because of their power, all turned their eyes on the merchants with ridicule or ridicule at this moment, and they wanted to drown them alive with spittle.
As for the people of the merchants, especially those high-level people, such as Shang Zijun and Shang Zikun, the faces of the likes also turned blue at this moment.
Because in their opinion, such a thing as taking hostages is also extremely shameless.
They hate Yang Xiao, but at the same time, they also treat Yang Xiao as a whetstone.
Over the years, the merchant family has been dominant, although the descendants of the merchant have continued to have geniuses, but these geniuses are too lacking due to the growing strength of the business, whether it is the heart or the tempering that has been experienced. This is not good for their future growth.
Therefore, the emergence of Yang Xiao is equivalent to giving the senior management of the business an opportunity to let the children of the business continue to improve in the competition with Yang Xiao. Even if you want to kill Yang Xiao, you should kill on the battlefield openly.
But it turned out to be good, and instead of understanding their intentions, these indisputable fellows were distorted to use such despicable means.
And the most unacceptable thing is that they secretly colluded to make up the sky.
You know, in the eyes of outsiders, the merchant and the Xia family are mortal enemies! What will they think about other people if they secretly collude like this? It's so embarrassing that it's unforgivable!
