The Imperial Study.

Lu Li and Yang Ling sat opposite each other, Yang Xing sat in the north and facing south, his eyes turned to Lu Li from time to time, and a touch of surprise appeared in his expression from time to time.

"Lu Li, it's been sixty years since you participated in the genius debate, right?" Finally, he asked first.

Lu Li nodded.

"Alas, the genius polemic has long since lost its name. The formation of the middle region disappeared, the child of destiny was born, and the next debate, I don't know if it can regain the glory of yesterday? Yang Xing sighed, unspeakably unhappy.

Lu Li said calmly: "Your Majesty, the most important purpose of the genius debate is to stimulate the enterprising spirit of our generation of cultivators, as for whether or not you can enter the middle domain, it is not so important. If the major sects have a heart, they can completely turn the genius debate into a grand event for the whole continent, and the sound is bound to be even better than before. ”

Yang Xing was stunned when he heard this, "It makes sense, this emperor is not as open-minded as Xiaoyou, it's really ridiculous." As he spoke, his face was slightly gloomy, "But all this will have to wait until the child of destiny is destroyed." You said that the Sea Clan Sea Emperor also has the intention of forming an alliance, is this true? ”

"Absolutely."

Lu Li said affirmatively, and then, he told him how he met Hai Dongbo, how he entered the Sea Emperor City, and how he met the Sea Emperor.

Of course, he concealed the fact that he had the Three Great Rhymes and the Moon Dew, and only said that in order to break through the realm, he deliberately traveled to the Boundless Sea, and then he was lucky to meet Hai Dongbo.

Yang Xing nodded as he listened, and suddenly asked, "How can you be sure that the Sea Emperor has the intention of forming an alliance?" ”

Lu Li groaned: "As far as I know, the Sea Emperor once sent three Hedao Realm Sea Clans to infiltrate the Middle Domain in an attempt to kill the Children of Destiny, but unfortunately they failed, and even the three strong men did not know whether they were alive or dead. ”

"Is there such a thing? When? Yang Xing was taken aback and hurriedly asked.

"About eight months ago." Lu Li thought for a moment. Return.

Yang Xing frowned: "Eight months ago? Isn't it the time for the children of fate to cross the catastrophe? In other words, not long after he crossed the tribulation, he easily defeated the three Merge Dao Realms? “

Hearing this, Lu Li's eyes narrowed slightly, and he was a little shocked: "When I left the Sea Emperor Palace, those three people had not yet returned. If it is as His Majesty said. The Sea Emperor is definitely more inclined to form an alliance. After all, the strength of the Sea Clan is certainly strong, but the Son of Destiny is extraordinary, and may even be stronger than Li Qinglian back then. Moreover, once the Child of Destiny unifies the human race and the demon race, it will definitely increase its strength, and the sea clan will definitely be unable to escape at that time. ”

After a pause, he said again: "The Sea Emperor is far-sighted, and I believe that he will be able to see through the key. ”

"Whew."

After Yang Xing listened, he exhaled turbid breath and frowned. Lost in thought.

After half a ring, his eyes froze, and he said categorically: "Now that the human race and demon clan have united, the nine major sects are full of confidence, and I am afraid that they will not easily agree to form an alliance with the sea clan." For the sake of today's plan, the Emperor sent an envoy to the Sea Emperor's Palace to meet the Sea Emperor in case he lost the battle with the Child of Destiny. It's never too late to form another alliance. ”

"Your Majesty, no."

Knowing that the Child of Destiny is extremely powerful, this battle is full of dangers. Yang Xing even wanted to fight once before speaking, which made Lu Li a little speechless.

He hurriedly persuaded: "Your Majesty, the forces of the three clans are one and the other, even if there is no intention of harming the two clans, you can't just let the Sea Clan reap the benefits!" ”

Yang Xing smiled bitterly: "Lu Li, you are still too young." Terrans, sea tribes, thousand-year-old grievances. It cannot be resolved in the short term. And for most of the low-level monks, it doesn't make a difference who rules them. The Sea Clan is arrogant, and our Terran Race is even more proud, if we rashly unite them, the emperor can be scolded to death by the monks who don't know the truth. Only wait for the alliance of the two clans to suffer. If there is a loss, the alliance will be seriously considered. ”

"Die to save face and suffer sin!" Lu Li's stupid way.

"The higher the status, the more so. Besides, once an alliance is formed, the Sea Clan will definitely not be subservient, how can those who are the strongest of the two races be willing? Yang Xing said again.

Lu Li naturally knew that what Yang Xing said was true, and his good impression of this group of people suddenly decreased, he couldn't help but get up, and arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the news has been brought, and I will leave first." ”

"Wait."

Yang Xing hurriedly stopped Lu Li, and said with a smile: "Lu Li, for the time being, the matter of forming an alliance with the Sea Emperor is not suitable to be spread outside, you are a Great Sui monk, and you have seen the Sea Emperor, are you willing to serve as a negotiation envoy?" ”

Hearing this, Lu Li was not surprised, and immediately declined: "Your Majesty, I am not far from being promoted, and I plan to retreat for a while. Moreover, the strength of the Hanging Sword Sect is low, and I have been to the City of Destiny again, and I will definitely have a head-on showdown with the Child of Destiny in the future. At that time, I may be the only one who can save me. ”

Moving his gaze upward, Lu Li and Yang Xing glanced at each other, their expressions full of determination.

"Father, the son thinks that Brother Lu's worries are not unreasonable."

Yang Ling glanced at Lu Li, got up and said, "All the monks who enter the City of Destiny are the ones that the Children of Destiny will kill. Even if we can defeat the Child of Destiny, who is proficient in spatial rhyme, it will be extremely difficult to kill him. If he is allowed to escape, Lu Li and the others will inevitably face pursuit. The so-called matter is none of their business, and at that time, most of the sects will stand by and watch. ”

Yang Xing frowned slightly when he heard this, and only said after half a sound: "That's it!" Lu Li, if it is really as the prince said, the Great Sui royal family will try to protect you thoroughly. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Although he wants to rely on his own strength more, but what people say is so sincere, Lu Li naturally can't turn a blind eye.

After chatting a few more words, Lu Li and Yang Ling walked out of the imperial study one after the other. Outside the door, he looked at Yang Ling, "Brother Yang, in the territory of the Great Sui Empire, are there large ore veins?" ”

"Veins? Iron ore? Lingshi Mine or what? Yang Ling asked in surprise.

"It's better to be a gold mine, and the higher the quality, the better." Lu left the mouth to explain.

Yang Ling pondered for a moment: "There is a Xuanjin mine on the northeastern border of the empire, which is the largest gold mine in the empire, and it has only mined less than one-tenth of it in hundreds of years. According to my father, the gold mine contained gold pith inside, which was extremely precious. ”

After speaking, he couldn't help but be even more curious: "What are you asking for?" ”

"I have cultivated a set of metal exercises, and I plan to use the golden vein to cultivate. Of course, just practicing in the center of the gold mine will not destroy the ore vein, nor will it take the gold pith for yourself. Lu Li smiled.

"Haha, what did Brother Lu say! The golden pith is precious in the eyes of the alchemists, but it is not so important to us. If you want, why not give you some. ”

Yang Ling said with a grin, not taking the golden vein seriously at all.

"Not really. Brother Yang, time is pressing, I have to leave now. Lu Li said, and gave Yang Ling a salute: "When I come back next time, I will get drunk with Brother Yang and rest." ”

"It's a deal."

Yang Ling returned the salute, and personally sent Lu Li out of the imperial city, watching him take off into the air, and then returned. As soon as he returned to the harem, he suddenly received an order from Yang Xing, ordering him to serve as an envoy of the Great Sui Empire and go to the Sea Emperor Palace.

At the same time, the mid-domain formation is getting thinner and thinner, and it is only one step away from disappearing.

The final battle is about to break out! (To be continued.) )
