415 Lobbyists
Wan Ji'an, who returned to Longxiang City, naturally did not find any trace of Luo Tian, but while he left suspiciously after searching for the Dong family, he found that he was being targeted.
Today's Dong family has long been empty, but Han Zaixian's body placed in the mourning hall is still there, as for the book of clear subtle methods, Wan Ji'an did not check it, but he didn't think about it, and it was not taken away, as for the agreement between him and Zhao Meng, the time to reach a deal has not yet arrived, so Wan Ji'an naturally will not have the mind to move that clear subtle method.
But just as he was leaving, there were footsteps behind him.
"Your Excellency is Wan Ji'an, right?"
In fact, Wan Ji'an had already sensed his breath before the other party approached him, and at this time Wan Ji'an did not turn around, but a cold smile rose on his face, his heart was also a mess at this time, and he was in a very bad mood, he didn't mind killing here, even if his strength was not as good as Shitong, Bahai and Gu in the past, but if he wanted to make waves in this Longxiang City, he was invincible.
There is no distinction between the strong and the weak sects of the Buddha sect in the Middle Heaven Realm, and being deliberately labeled as a famous and decent family or an evil demon is only out of consideration of identity and style, although most of the high-ranking sects have Venerable-level masters in charge, but in fact, just like the Venerable Pan Yin of the Mingsha Sect, he stays at home, and his life is only to penetrate the Heavenly Dao.
However, at this time, Wan Ji'an knew very well that the person behind him was not simple at all, after all, he had already guessed the origin of the other party.
"I didn't expect that the people of the Xia family would know my name, what an honor. ”
As Wan Ji'an slowly turned around, in the process, he noticed the instantaneous change in the aura of the person behind him, obviously thinking about whether he wanted to make a move on Wan Ji'an, but it seemed that the other party was very calm, knowing that any of his actions could not make too big waves in front of Wan Ji'an's moving rules.
However, Wan Ji'an is very clear in his heart, it is not that the other party does not dare to act rashly against him, but in the rules of the other party's potential, it must have been calculated already before, in this place and even today, he Wan Ji'an is invulnerable.
Yes, the person standing in front of Wan Ji'an at this time is Xia Yu, the son of the Xia family, after Ouyang Xiao's death, Xia Yu once wanted to return to Tianming City because of fear, but because of some other things, he chose to "take risks" to stay, in the past period of time, he has been in Longxiang City, and has been trying to probe the movements of people and things around him with the rules of potential, but unfortunately, he has never been able to enter the Dong family, so naturally he will not be able to find out the real secret.
Wan Ji'an looked at Xia Yu in front of him, with a trace of contempt on his face, he naturally knew what kind of power the person in front of him had in this Longxiang City, and he also knew very well that if something happened to him, I am afraid that the Middle Heaven Realm would fall into a catastrophe, but no matter what kind of external holdings, Wan Ji'an knew very well that Xia Yu was a person who was afraid of death, and if he was not fully prepared, and was clearly perceived by the rules of his power, he would never act rashly.
Therefore, he appeared in front of him at this time, not because he found a flaw about Wan Ji'an and an opportunity to kill him, but because Xia Yu could ensure that he could sit back and relax when he appeared in front of Wan Ji'an.
Of course, it's only for one day.
"Aren't you afraid that I will capture you and kill you tomorrow?"
Wan Ji'an smiled slightly at this time, and said so, his words immediately made Xia Yu's face change, and at the same time, his body unconsciously took a step back, his movements instantly betrayed his mood at this time, and at the same time, the change in his face also made the little calm and luck in his heart all turn into inexplicable worry.
Looking at Xia Yu in front of him, Wan Ji sneered in peace of mind, but also a little funny, could it be that this is the person who made Guan Liang have no choice but to "escape" back to the Heavenly Sect?
In fact, it's no wonder that Guan Liang behaved so poorly in front of Xia Yu, after all, Wan Ji'an is not Guan Liang, let alone the heir of the first sect of Buddhism in the Heavenly Realm, it can be said that Guan Liang is a person who gathers thousands of eyes and public opinion wherever he goes, and the consequences of his actions will not only affect him alone, but the entire Destiny Sect behind him.
Guan Liang's obedience is not only a habit that he has cultivated since childhood, but also has a mouse-throwing taboo, saying that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, and for Guan Liang, the heir of the Heavenly Sect, the invisible pressure converted into this responsibility is even far greater than the pressure of the Burial Dragon Valley on the Daoist to some extent.
Of course, Wan Ji'an doesn't know the truth, but with Wan Ji'an's character, he doesn't do such a thing as empathy, especially for the person in front of him.
"Hmph, why bother to make a fool of yourself, Wan Ji'an, I know that you used to be Luo Tian's enemy, why do you want to help this person today?"
Xia Yu's words made Wan Ji'an a little puzzled, thinking that it was possible that he had made a special trip to be a lobbyist today, but soon Wan Ji'an understood, Xia Yu would not be stupid to such a point even if he was stupid, and now for the entire Zhongtian Realm, he Wan Ji'an and Luo Tian were labeled with the same "anti-thief" label, and they were not separated from each other at all.
Therefore, Xia Yu's words at this time were not to rebel against him or to separate the two of them, but that Xia Yu wanted to find all the clues about Luo Tian through himself, after all, as long as he found clues about Luo Tian, even if he didn't find Luo Tian's people, the rules of power possessed by the Xia family's father and son could also play a role in related people and things.
How could Wan Ji'an be as stupid as he expected?
However, at this time, Wan Ji Anxin also had another voice, many things that have happened recently are too confusing, although Wan Ji'an has never felt that the secret in his heart can only rely on Luo Tian to achieve his goal, at this critical juncture, he also needs to find Luo Tian to ask what is going on, but Luo Tian suddenly seemed to have lost the clue, and Lu Heng, Tang Long, Yao Tian and others in the dream have not seen this person for a long time.
Wan Ji'an's face was calm, and there was no change, he was very deep in the city, and he would never show his flaws in front of a "child" like Xia Yu, although his actual age was not two hundred years old, but what did he experience in two generations of life?
"Acting tricks in front of me, are you really disgusted with life, do you think that the forty Dao interpreters within a radius of ten miles can save your life?"
Wan Ji'an sneered at this time, and the words blurted out made some of Xia Yu's confidence that he had just gathered collapse in an instant, which undoubtedly had a great blow to his self-confidence, but when he was just angry and wanted to call out to the person who was lurking in the dark to do it, he suddenly heard Wan Ji'an's next words.
"Hmph, I know exactly what you want, although you and I are not the same, but compared to what you and I are plotting, there is a common enemy, if you can help me deal with this person, it is easy to do you a small favor. ”
Wan Ji'an's words made Xia Yu, who was already angry, stunned for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, he thought about it a little in his heart, but he seemed a little hesitant, and Wan Ji'an looked at his hesitation at this time, but he knew that such a change of mentality had shown that his plan had been successful.
Yes, a person like Xia Yu has supreme authority as long as he is still in the sphere of influence of Tianming City, and it is impossible for anyone to speak to him like Wan Ji'an today, even if there is a person who is stronger than Wan Ji'an here, he will definitely not dare to make a move against him because of Xia Zidan's reputation.
But Wan Ji'an is an alternative, or rather, a person who dared to challenge the authority of the Heavenly Sect six years ago, even if he really killed him Xia Yu today, what would be so strange?
Therefore, Xia Yu's appearance in front of Wan Ji'an today was the first stupid thing he did, and when he wanted to put forward conditions for Wan Ji'an, he made the second mistake, a person who was extremely self-centered and arrogant now thought because of other people's words, which cannot but be said to be a very ridiculous thing.
Wan Ji'an didn't speak, he was waiting, waiting for the other party to personally promise the conditions he offered, as for who Wan Ji'an was going to deal with, what was the causal relationship between this, and what kind of conflict of interests would the Xia family in Tianming City, all these questions would not be something Xia Yu needed to think about.
In other words, from the day he learned the rules of potential and began to apply what he had learned, Xia Yu had completely given up thinking.
"Who do you want me to help you deal with?"
Finally, after a period of time, Xia Yu raised his head again and asked, although the suspicion on his face had not completely disappeared, but it was expected that during his previous "strategizing" period, he had already thought about the pros and cons that belonged to him Xia Yu alone.
"Bahai!"
When Wan Ji'an said this name, Xia Yu's face changed again, but soon he showed a sinking expression, and this change was insignificant compared to the several changes in his previous demeanor.
Yes, at this time, Xia Yu didn't realize that Bahai was involved, or rather, Wan Ji'an asked him to help deal with Bahai, this transaction was not a reason for him to hesitate or even refuse in Xia Yu's eyes, did he Xia Yu need to worry about Bahai, a terrifying enemy, he didn't need it at all, because he wouldn't really deal with Bahai at all, and the only one who could deal with Bahai could be his father Xia Zidan, and the only one who could compete with Cangmeng City was Tianming City.
Since Wan Ji'an's conditions were not within the scope of his Xia Yu's ability to be responsible for at all, and they were also not his obligations within Xia Yu's ability, so what did it matter if he agreed?
"No problem, but can you give me what I want?"
As Xia Yu agreed, Wan Ji'an's face was still silent, but there was infinite contempt and contempt in his heart, although he had known this person for a long time, and had guessed something about his character from his past life, but it was better to be famous than to meet, such Xia Yu really opened his eyes.
"What you want is nothing more than Luo Tian's whereabouts, I can tell you Luo Tian's whereabouts, but presumably you won't believe my words, and in the same way, my verbal promises are not enough for me to accept, in this case, why don't you let us go together on the next road?"
Wan Ji'an's words made Xia Yu stunned again today, walking with Wan Ji'an, where to go, do you want to leave the sphere of influence of this Tianming City?
However, when Xia Yu was about to open his mouth to refuse, another thought rose in his heart, and it was precisely this thought that made his heart swell with a burst of impatience.
Now Xia Yu has a lot of chips in his hands, including the eldest son of the Du family has also come to his hands, in Xia Yu's eyes, the Du family is just an outdated family of interpreters, if there is no Du Xiyao's sitting, there is not much difference between it and the Mingsha faction, and it is also in Xia Yu's eyes, is there a difference between a high-ranking sect like the Mingsha faction and an ordinary Taoist sect?
Therefore, Xia Yu had a subtle idea in his heart at this time, he didn't feel that Wan Ji'an in front of him was deliberately teasing him, or wanted to take advantage of his thoughts, but really because they had the common enemy of Bahai, so they found him to cooperate.
It must be like this!
Xia Yu, who was born in the Xia family, has actually always been eager to make a career, even if he can't reach the level of his father, but at least he can't fall behind, and now when he stands in front of a Taoist like Wan Ji'an, such an ideal is infinitely magnified.
Why is it that everyone else is submissive to me, but you, Wan Ji'an, dare to be so presumptuous in front of my eyes?
With Xia Yu's slight nod, Wan Ji'an walked with Xia Yu all the way, as for the people of the Xia family in Tianming City who had been secretly protecting Xia Yu, they naturally followed all the way, and after they left, only two or three figures diverged out, rushed all the way to the direction of Tianming City, and returned to the Xia family to report to Xia Zidan.
But on the other side of this time, Guan Liang, who had also come to Longxiang City to search for Luo Tian a few days ago, had quietly returned to Nanyao City, and he had been investigating the beginning and end of the Heavenly Catastrophe case for the past few days.
After returning to the Destiny Heaven Sect, Guan Liang looked through some records about this strange case back then, and had a deeper understanding, now Luo Tian can't count on it, and the same Wan Ji'an and others also have their own things to do, when things completely fall on him, Guan Liang did not fall into a difficult situation, but gradually dug up the edge with his own ability.
The biggest key to the case of the Heavenly Catastrophe is the word time, whether it is Xia Yu's "confession" that day, or some statements by Lu Heng and Tang Long in the dream, all of which make Guan Liang understand that behind the extraordinary case, the truth is likely to be hidden in a number of different time and space, plus the previous trip to the demon world, also gave him a certain understanding of that lost time and space, and looking back at the Heavenly Catastrophe at this time, it also gave him a deeper understanding.
Yes, if the Catastrophe of Heaven did not really happen in the same time and space, but a group of people went to different time and space and killed people in different time and space, then in other words, the truth he could see was really just a corner of the edge.
