The two peak masters of the Chi family frowned, if this proposal was first made by the royal family, then it would be quite a matter of thought. The royal family of Yunze Country, in the past thousands of years, has undergone several changes, so that it has been weak and unable to suppress the strong in the country, the Yuan and Qin families have only taken advantage of the situation to rise, and the Tibetan Sword Villa has no intention of suppressing the rise of these two, just maintaining the balance on the surface of Yunze Kingdom, but today they suddenly made a tough move, does it mean that the attitude of Zangjian Villa towards Yunze Country will change?

This question seems to be the most important thing than the suddenly positive attitude of the royal family.

These two are not without Austrian aid in the Hidden Sword Villa, but these things are classified as extremely secret, and outsiders are rare to hear. Fairy Nan first asked, "Is there something wrong with the Tibetan Sword Villa?" ”

Qin Jing hesitated for a moment and said, "This may be a dispute within the Hidden Sword Villa, at least until now, there is no indication that the Hidden Sword Villa will firmly support the royal family and take a strong attack on us." He smiled, "This is also not in line with the consistent style of the Nine Great Sects." "In fact, although there are a lot of internal disputes between the nine major factions, in terms of their style of doing things, they still adhere to a method, that is, to try to maintain the balance and struggle of the layer below the spire, so that they can never jump out of the encirclement of the nine major factions, so that the nine major factions can control the situation of Cangwu from above and look down on all beings, if the Tibetan Sword Villa insists on interfering in Yun Ze's internal affairs, then the consequences may be unimaginable. Over the years, it is not unreasonable for many sects to want to advance to the tenth major sect but ultimately fail to do so. If the Tibetan Sword Villa wants to change its style this time, then I'm afraid the other sects won't agree.

Yang Zhen asked at this time: "I don't know which envoys came from the Hidden Sword Villa?" ”

Several people from the Qin family also looked at Qin Jing, the envoy of the Tibetan Sword Villa had only arrived today, and they went directly to the palace to discuss, and they didn't know the identity of the envoy.

Qin Jing said: "A total of five people came this time, two real people from the 'crane' generation, and three are young monks. There is a girl surnamed Su, I heard that she is a disciple of the head of the family, and she formed a golden pill at a young age, and she is quite famous among the young disciples of the nine major sects. You can make good friends. As he spoke, he looked at Qin Feng.

Qin Feng's heart jumped, remembering the Suman arrow he had seen when he was in Qiyun Mountain, in just two years of hard work, she actually formed a golden pill and stabilized the realm, can she already travel on behalf of the master? Think about him and Su Suman Arrow and Gu Yan back then. The days of joining hands in Yunshan are still like the next day, at that time, everyone was just cultivating in the foundation building period, but they were young and heroic, and now zaijian, I don't know if there is still the pride of the past?

The three of them now have their own positions, and they are only afraid of zaijian noodles. You can't talk and laugh as you used to, right? He was thinking wildly in his heart when he heard Qin Jing say, "Feng'er, there will be a dinner party in a few days." The royal family wants to entertain the distinguished guests of the Tibetan Sword Villa, and everyone in Yunyang City and the county governments from all over the country will send people to attend, so you can go with you when the time comes. ”

Qin Feng replied casually, and seeing that the discussion of the major event was over, he said goodbye and went back, and no longer spoke to the people on Cumulus Peak. The Southern Fairy sighed lightly, her gaze swirling around his back, and then slowly withdrew it.

Yunyang City, among the post houses of Dongyang County.

Bi Zhenzhen went out early in the morning. She participated in the big competition when she was young, and later traveled to Yunyang City alone, and made far more friends here than Gu Yan, which is why Gu Yan must bring Bi Zhenzhen here. At this time, she went out first to find some old ones and find out the news. Gu Yan just sat in the quiet room and waited.

Sure enough, it was past noon. Bi Zhenzhen came back happily and said: "This big competition is really different from previous years, I heard that the topic of the competition is still the messenger of the Tibetan Sword Villa, and the emperor himself delineated. ”

Gu Yan narrowed his eyes, "Could it be that these two parties want to join forces to suppress the Yuan and Qin families?" ”

When Bi Zhenzhen heard what she said, he was also a little puzzled: "In the past, most of the topics of the big competition were formulated by the Yuan and Qin families, and they had children participating in the competition, and no one could compete with them. But looking at Dabi's title, it doesn't seem to have this meaning. ”

Gu Yan said: "Let's talk first, what is the topic of this big competition?" "After Yue Yi came to Dongyang County, he went into the palace to report on his work, and he has not come back until now, except for Han Tan and Cumulus Peak, the rest of the people are trying their best to find out the news. At this time, Yunyang City is also extremely lively, countless monks gather here, worried, troubled waters, and so on, it is really easy to find out what news.

Bi Zhenzhen said: "I heard that this time, it is to open the ancient battlefield thousands of years ago!" She said with some amazement, "The method of trial is no longer the same as before, the fur and bones of what demon beasts are hunted, this time, in the large and small formations and dangers in the ancient battlefield, five hundred array flags will be laid down, and whoever wins more array flags will be ranked first." ”

Gu Yan couldn't help but gasp, "According to this statement, that's a real capture of the flag!" She noticed that Bi Zhenzhen did not say that it was not allowed to kill each other in the secret realm, in fact, this has never been able to be forbidden, every time there is a big competition, there are many monks who die in each other's fighting, this is not to kill demon beasts, everyone has their own ability, you know, there are only five hundred array flags, and this time the monks who participated in the big competition alone will exceed a thousand! There are probably at least hundreds of sects. Gu Yan said in amazement, "If you calculate it like this, I'm afraid that thirty percent of the sects will not be able to capture the formation flag, and they will be wiped out of Yunze's territory from now on!" ”

In that case, except for the Jiedan monk who can be exempted from being a loose cultivator with no one to control, the remaining disciples below the foundation building period, as well as the resources of the entire sect, will all be taken away. In the previous competitions, there has never been such a high elimination rate!

Bi Zhenzhen said: "Who said no, there is a lot of discussion in the market, saying that this time the Yuan and Qin families are going to be ruthless, and they want to take this opportunity to eradicate the dissidents of the entire Yunze Kingdom, and eradicate the Shili who disobey them first, and then the two families will slowly compete for power." ”

Then she frowned again and said, "But it is rumored that this proposal was put forward by the emperor who has been hidden in the deep palace at the court meeting, the Yuan and Qin families. None of them were opposed. ”

Gu Yan smiled and said: "There are two sides to the matter, maybe some people think that this is the Yuan and Qin families to eradicate dissidents, but look at it from another angle." Isn't it the royal family's chance to weaken these two families? ”

Bi Zhenzhen said suspiciously: "If you want to weaken their power, you should vigorously support those weak sects, can't they see that now the sixteen counties of Yunze, those big families and sects, have all voted under the command of these two families?" ”

Gu Yan's face showed a hint of coldness, and she said, "That's what I said. But it also needs that sect to be worthy of support, I think what they mean is to eliminate the rough and retain the essence in this big competition, and eliminate those who are not useful first. ”

Bi Zhenzhen was silent, the reality seems to be so cruel, those small sects that have not been baptized by blood and fire, in this big competition. will be ruthlessly eliminated, and perhaps the foundation of the entire sect will be lost because of this. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but still have palpitations in her heart. If he hadn't made that decision in the first place, the original Danxia Sect would have been completely devoured by those major sects in this big competition, and his own disciples would have become slaves, right?

Gu Yan didn't pay attention to what Bi Zhenzhen was thinking, she was pondering the intention of formulating this rule, and while thinking, she said to Bi Zhenzhen, speaking very slowly, "If that's the case." The Tibetan Sword Villa and the royal family will definitely send people into the ancient battlefield, and the Qin and Yuan families will become the targets of suppression in this big competition, which means that ......" She said this, her eyes showing a bright look. "Here's our chance!"

Bi Zhenzhen was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, if these two shili really intend to suppress the Yuan and Qin families, they will not tear their faces on the bright side, and the two sides still have to play under the rules, if the Yuan and Qin families can really suppress the entire Yunze, and no one can compete with them, then naturally everything is as before, otherwise, the Tibetan Sword Villa and the royal family will pick out the objects worthy of their support. In this way, is there anything more suitable than Bixia Sect?

Bi Zhenzhen figured this out and laughed, "In this way, it has become a good thing to fall out with Cumulus Peak when I was in Dongyang." ”

Gu Yan waved his hand, not caring about the matter of Cumulus Peak, "Those peak masters of Cumulus Peak, their vision is too small, they only want to dominate in Dongyang County, and they never look outside, plus they have an old relationship with the Qin family, and the two sides will benefit from each other, so they follow the Qin family very closely." It is estimated that in this big competition, the Qin family must also have some jihua, and they will all act according to the overall jihua, and what we have to do is to break their jihua! ”

She stood up, paced around the room, her mind racing, and said, "If you follow what you say, then we must remember the truth of hitting the first bird first." Dabi has to last for half a month, and you don't have to take it to heart about winning or losing for a while, you must have an overall view and calmness, so that you can wait for Zuihou's victory. ”

She thought about it, and felt that what she said was some nonsense, and she couldn't help laughing, Bi Zhenzhen said again: "There is also news, the five people who won this time may be selected by the Hidden Sword Villa to take the treasure in the sword trial pool!" ”

Gu Yan looked at her in surprise, Bi Zhenzhen said: "According to the rules, every time there was a big competition in the past, they would pick up the five people with the best results, as the outstanding, the choice of these five people is not limited to the sect, in the past, the royal family would give a magic weapon or elixir as a reward, but this time the Tibetan Sword Villa came forward and was able to open the sword washing pool of their own door, which is also quite surprising." ”

She saw that Gu Yan didn't know what the Sword Washing Pool was, so she explained in detail: "The Sword Washing Pool is a unique secret realm of the Tibetan Sword Villa, and it is as famous as the Wanfa Copper Furnace of the Danding Sect, the Wuliang Pool of the Jade Void Palace, etc., all of which are left over from ancient times, and they are all places where the treasures of heaven and earth grow. Even in the main sect, these secret realms are not often opened, and they usually only open once in tens or even hundreds of years, allowing the disciples of this sect to enter and look for opportunities. Every disciple of the Tibetan Sword Villa, after the success of the knot, will go to the sword washing pool to temper his natal sword, and after refining it, he will be qualified to go down the mountain. I heard that there are not as many treasures there as the secret realms of other sects, but it is a place of extreme cultivation, and the spiritual power is extremely pure, and the effect of practicing there for one day is more than ten times greater. It's a pity that you can't stay too long, otherwise the meridians will not be able to withstand the pressure of the aura there, and the whole body will burst and die. It is said outside that the number of sword venerables in the Tibetan Sword Villa is more than that of the Yuanying monks of other sects, although it is due to the method of sword cultivation, but it is also related to their sword washing pool. ”

"I see." This proves what Gu Yan thinks in his heart. Zangjian Villa deliberately wants to suppress the Yuan and Qin families, of course, this is all an upright conspiracy, everyone is fighting under the same rules, and no one will easily break the rules. Then it depends on who is clever in the end. It can be even better. It seems that he has come to the right time this time, and Yunyang City at this time is really turbulent.

Gu Yan remembered one more thing, so he said: "Zhenzhen, I'm tired of you guarding the pavilion in the afternoon, I have something to do when I go out." ”

Bi Zhenzhen nodded, signaling Gu Yan to go. They had already made an agreement. No matter who wants to go out, at least one person will stay in the pavilion to guard and take care of the disciples, and now Yunyang City is an eventful time, in case something happens, it will be troublesome.

After the afternoon, Yue Yi still hadn't returned, so Gu Yan explained a few words to Bi Zhenzhen, and then walked out of the post house.

She entered Yunyang City for the first time in the morning. Under the leadership of Yue Yi, he went straight to the post house, although it was just a glimpse, but he was already able to see the atmosphere of this big city. Come out now. Standing on the Jinyun disk, you can see the true appearance of the entire city more intuitively.

Standing high in the clouds, she could still see countless treasures flying around, some on her head and some under her feet. She saw at least dozens of people just by the monk Jiedan, and she couldn't help but admire in her heart, this is the real Tongdu Dayi. I don't know what kind of prosperous scene those big cities in the Central Plains are?

The entire Yunyang City is in the shape of a "well". It is divided into nine extremely complete parts, and the surrounding eight terrain are various areas, and in the middle is the inner city, which is where those great families live, and the inner city is in the center, which is the imperial city where the royal family lives. As well as various institutions throughout the Yunze Kingdom, including the State Guest House and the like, are there.

Before Gu Yan came out, she had probably inquired about Yunyang City from Bi Zhenzhen, and she set her eyes on the southeast corner, where there was a building towering into the clouds, which was one of the tallest buildings in the entire Yunyang City, that is, the headquarters of Longyuan Pavilion in Yunze, responsible for the affairs of the entire southeast region. It is the largest and most complex distribution center for magic weapons, elixirs and materials in Yunze and several surrounding countries, and it is also the destination of Gu Yan's trip. She was going there, firstly, for the first time, to find some rare materials, and secondly, to exchange the things in her hand for some spirit stones. On this trip, Gan Biwu handed over all the spirit stones in the faction to her, but Gu Yan thought about it, but it was still not enough, so he simply sold some of the materials left over from the last refining time in exchange for spirit stones, after all, they were here, and they might have to stay for a long time, and they had to enter the ancient battlefield to try, and they had more spirit stones in their hands, so they were always prepared. Sometimes in the struggle between life and death, the temporary existence of the aura, maybe zuihou will affect the result. Moreover, Gu Yan also intended to take a look, if it was possible to find a medium-grade spirit stone here, it would be extremely beneficial to her array.

She flew to the gate of Longyuan Pavilion, and saw that the building here was high into the sky, and the gate alone was several zhang high, and there was a long plaque hanging in front of the gate, and the word "Longyuan" was written on it, which was magnificent, and the sword was tense, and she wanted to break through the wall and fly away. Underneath is the word "cloud pool". Gu Yan's heart couldn't help but move, could it be the owner of the Tibetan Sword Villa, the word inscribed here by Yunchi Jianzun?

Standing in front of the door to greet the guests, are two disciples in the late stage of the foundation building, they are wearing not gorgeous clothes, with a smile on their faces, from time to time there are monks in and out of it, they will also greet one by one, seeing Gu Yan coming, they smiled and stepped forward, only looked at it with their eyes, and said: "The fairy is here, what are you doing?" Is it looking for someone, or is it preparing to visit? ”

As they spoke, they took out a piece of jade slip from the box in their hands and handed it over, Gu Yan took it and looked at it, and his image had been printed on it, obviously this was a registration when he entered. The jade slips were pale cyan, Gu Yan paid attention to the surroundings, the monks in the foundation building period were all blue jade slips, and the yellow and orange ones were mostly in the knot period, but I didn't know what to pay attention to.

She stretched out her hand to take it and said, "Just come to hang out and see if there are any good things worth selling, I want to ask if there are intermediate spirit stones for sale here?" ”

The two of them smiled even more, and said, "If you want to find rare spirit stones, you can go to the treasure shop on the third floor, where there are all kinds of spirit stones." "The so-called spirit stones, in fact, are varied, not only the one that is used as currency, but the kind of spirit stone that survives the most, and the spiritual power is the most stable, will be circulated as a currency. There are others, such as moonstone, obsidian, etc., all of which have their own wonders, but they are not very useful to ordinary monks.

Gu Yan answered and walked in the door. When she entered the gate of Longyuan Pavilion, she felt the surging flow of people here. From the outside world, it seems that she can't feel it yet, and only when she is in this space can she really feel the popularity of this place.

Countless monks shuttled through the hall, everything was in order, and in the wide hall, every few dozen steps, there would be a maid wearing a light veil standing on the side, waiting for the guests to be greeted. They all had faint smiles on their faces, without losing the bearing of famous families, but also with humility and affinity. The monks were also in a different situation, some of them walked briskly as if they were on an important business, while others were strolling around as if they were just playing.

Gu Yan turned around and walked to the bottom of the stairs, suddenly felt as if someone was watching him, turned his head quickly, and saw the corner of the stairs on the other side behind him, where people came and went, rubbing shoulders one after another, and couldn't help but smile, thinking that he had seen it wrong. Then he turned and went upstairs.

When Gu Yan's figure disappeared upstairs, from the corner of the stairs over there, two people turned out, one was Yuan Yuan, with whom Gu Yan had fought twice, and the other was a middle-aged man, his face was slightly thin, with a pair of slender eyebrows, and his eyelashes were lowered, covering all the brilliance in his eyes, and only occasionally opening his eyes could he see the essence of brilliance in his eyes.

He said in a low voice, "This is the female cultivator you met in the Lancang Valley? ”

Yuan Yuan is the person who is the head of the Yuan family's foreign affairs, whether it is in the Yuan family or outside, he is high-spirited, but in front of this person, he looks very deferential, quite a little scared. Hearing his question, he said respectfully: "Uncle Hui, if it weren't for her, our affairs in Lancang Valley would have been completed. ”

This middle-aged man is the Yuan Zitan, who has the highest cultivation in the Yuan family and has reached the consummation of the knot for hundreds of years, but has refused to marry a baby because he is not sure. At this time, he was looking at Gu Yan's disappearing back, looking thoughtful. "She can create the Seven Stars Gathering the Moon with her own strength, and break your Tianxuan Swallowing Moon formation, her urgency and means are not trivial."

He looked at Yuan Yuan and said: "From ancient times to the present, there are many talented monks like carp crossing the river, why are there always no achievers, often excellent young monks, but in the end they can't become great talents, only mind and means." I told you not to underestimate anyone. Since this woman can get married, she must have her own ability. Although it is only the qualification of the Four Spirit Roots, if you underestimate him because of this, then you are not worthy of being the elite of the Yuan family! ”

Speaking of zuihou, his voice suddenly became sharp, in addition to Yuan Yuan, he was followed by several disciples of the Yuan family, they all put away the contempt on their faces, bowed down and said, "Teachable!" ”

Yuan Zitan nodded and said, "We still have important things to do today, and when I have a chance in the future, I will see what kind of ability this woman has." As he spoke, he shook his head, "The Qin family threw away the entire Bixia Sect for the sake of Cumulus Peak, which is really a bit unwise." Those old guys, haven't they been so stupid all these years? ”

With a wave of the sleeves of his robe, the group headed upstairs. The people around him all retreated to the left and right to show their respect for the most powerful master in Yunyang City. (To be continued)
