331 Protection money for ancestors
How many deals did Flowing Fire make with the Old Ancestor? No one could ask why, and when the Flowing Fire and the Old Ancestor issued an armistice order to both the enemy and us at the same time, they didn't have the time to pay attention to the inquiries of their subordinates.
The Flowing Fire spared the nine thousand captives in the Great Array, and the Old Ancestor also revoked the petrification technique. When an old man and a young man stood at the highest point of the Immortal Ridge and accepted the gaze of 10,000 people, everyone knew that the armistice agreement must not be changed.
The fact that the old ancestor can stand side by side with the flowing fire is a signal in itself, and the most obvious signal is that the old ancestor has recognized the status of the flowing fire, and the power of Pei Shui is no longer the rebellion that Yufei said.
After the war, the old ancestor did not appear in the Immortal Ridge for a long time, and when he saw Yu Fei holding the jade unicorn and preparing to return to the illusion realm, he nodded lightly and left in advance.
"Ancestor... Why, why is this?" the weakened Jade Qilin struggled to question the old ancestor who came over, his face full of unwillingness.
"Eighteen great masters have joined forces to perform the dragon locking technique, you have all rushed out, and there is no one on the battlefield who is your opponent, why do you want to make peace with Flowing Fire? Let him take such a big advantage? If you want to save me, then I will tell you here... I don't accept your affection..."
The jade unicorn's emotions were already out of control, watching the victory in his hand fly like this, so many people had died in his own family, but in exchange for a peaceful truce?
The old ancestor had a bitter face, and he didn't pay attention to Yu Qilin's accusations, he said to Yu Fei.
"Starting from next year, the use time of the Great Array will be divided into two, the first half of the year will be distributed by our Jade Family, and the second half will be distributed by the Flowing Fire, you will start organizing a group of respected elders now, and the use plan of the Great Array in the future will be discussed by the elders..."
"This half a year is not just for our Yu family, Li Xiao and Lan Ji also have to allocate quotas, we can't let the family be busy with us..."
"Actually, the three of us are still taking advantage of this half year, and the forces there are even more chaotic, and the quota for the second half of the year is estimated to be insufficient..."
The old ancestor walked towards the portal and arranged a follow-up mission for Yufei.
"From now on, the left side of Zhongzhou Mountain is painted as a war-free zone, and the armed forces of more than 100 people are not allowed to enter the mountain. In addition, I also have Liu Xiaowei, plus Wenmo and other great masters, who will be stationed in the mountains on a regular basis, and no one will have the idea of monopolizing the big array in the future..."
Before the old ancestor finished saying this, Yu Fei and Yu Qilin, including the great masters who had just withdrawn from the formation, were all dumbfounded, they never thought that the old ancestor would be so compromised, so that these warriors who died in battle would not die in vain?
"Ancestor—" The crowd roared.
The old ancestor shook his hand, and did not respond to anyone at all, he just continued to speak to himself.
"Also, the royal family of Chu represented by Long Xingkong is still the master of Chu State, and no one can plot to overthrow it, so I have to keep an eye on this, you don't want to hide it from me..."
Good guy, as soon as the old ancestor said this, even Yu Fei stopped doing it, "Old ancestor, why is this? You have obviously gained the upper hand, why did you make such a big sacrifice? Are the children of our Yu family really going to die in vain? You are the old ancestor who dominates the world..."
The old ancestor still didn't answer everyone, he waved his hand and helped the weakened jade qilin up by the way, and took the lead in stepping into the portal.
Opposite the portal is the hilly hunting ground, and the soft grassland is at the foot, but when everyone enters the portal, the old ancestor suddenly bent down and coughed violently, and the hollow coughing sound is so dense that everyone who listens to it is worried.
"Old Ancestor, what's wrong with you..."A group of people rushed up to support the old man, regardless of the weakened Jade Qilin. The ancestor is the treasure of the Yu family, and he must not have any problems.
At this time, the ancestor's face was already coughing red, and I was afraid that if I coughed like that, I would even cough out my lungs. It took a quarter of an hour for the ancestor's qi to ease a little.
"You guys, you think... Do you really think that I don't want to take advantage of it? Do you really think that the Dragon Locking Technique is so easy to break through?"
"If the dragon locking technique of the eighteen great masters joined forces was broken so easily, how could I be restrained by them? If I had been given time to grind slowly for another three or four hours, I would have been able to get out unscathed, but the appearance of the Flowing Fire disrupted everything..."
"That kid, with his divine sense alone, he can increase the strength of the Yuan Qi Great Array by ten or twenty times, if I don't make a move, the Qilin and those nine thousand soldiers will all be crippled..."
The old ancestor sat on the ground and took a few deep breaths, "I forcibly broke through the Dragon Locking Technique, which has already injured my divine sense, but fortunately, it is not serious, as long as I recuperate for a year and a half, I can recover..."
At this time, the jade qilin was already in tears, he really didn't expect the old ancestor to be injured, but he was holding on to save himself.
"Ancestor... I was wrong..."The jade unicorn choked up and couldn't speak.
"It's okay, it's okay, silly boy, do you really think I'm at a loss? Haha, you've all guessed wrong..."Halfway through speaking, the old ancestor stood up, pointed ahead and said, "Go, follow me, I'll open your eyes..."
After saying that, the Old Ancestor led everyone to rush towards the edge of the hilly hunting ground, and his goal was to divide the energy wall in the area of the Shuiyu River. After a while, the Kung Fu Ancestor and his party had come to the edge of the energy wall, and when the ancestor used crystals to carve the cumbersome geometric figure on the wall, the vitality in the energy wall suddenly became disordered, and a huge hole appeared in front of everyone's eyes out of thin air.
Looking at the mountains and dense forests in the hollow, and looking at the strange birds and beasts in the sky, everyone was shocked and couldn't close their mouths.
"Welcome in, Mizuyu River... This is the fourth secret realm in the illusion, and the illusion of our Jade family has expanded again..."
Yu Fei came to the depths of his hand, stroked the cold wind blowing from the new area, and said with a sigh, "Could it be that this is the secret exchanged from the hands of the flowing fire?"
Looking at the old ancestor's silent nod, everyone present was a little ashamed. Oh, it's still an ancestor, it's a big move as soon as it makes a move, so it seems that our Yu family really hasn't suffered a loss.
Just as everyone was eager to go in and investigate, suddenly from the opposite side of the hollow, a series of fires rushed out of the dense forest, and the earth began to shake.
"Don't close the door, who is on the other side..."A familiar voice came from afar, everyone knew it, wasn't this Li Xiao's voice? Could it be that he was really locked up here? Liuhuo actually didn't lie?
Dozens of meters tall flame giants rushed straight in the dense forest, the target was the hole in the energy wall, it seemed that the two of them were really suffocated, and they really rushed out when they saw a glimmer of hope.
Under the control of the old ancestor, the hole became higher and higher, bigger and bigger, until finally the entire flame giant could rush out of it without a cat's waist, and behind the giant was Li Xiao and his son. And Li Feiyang actually carried a large snow-white stone on his shoulder.
"Feiyang, what are you carrying a stone on, aren't you tired?" the jade unicorn asked subconsciously. But when the one-meter-square stone was smashed on the ground, everyone was stunned by the pure vitality on it.
"Water jade, oh my God, how can there be such a big water jade in this world..."
The old ancestor looked at everyone's surprised gazes, and said with a smug face, "Do you know why the new area is called the Water Jade River?
Seeing everyone subconsciously shaking their heads, the ancestor smiled so happily that he probably forgot the secret wounds on his body.
Some people are happy, some people are unhappy, and now the flow of fire is very unhappy. To say that he didn't look greedy when he saw such a river of water and jade, that would be really nonsense, but what about greed? Can you still steal it under the nose of your ancestors?
Even if he can rely on Xiao Lori's secret method to steal some of it, how much can Liuhuo steal alone?
But what can you do if you don't give in? Can you watch tens of thousands of soldiers turn to stone and can't be saved? Do you really want to die with the other party? Damn, a secret painting can only exchange for a year's peace, and the ancestor of the Yu family is simply a vampire.
Liuhuo walked towards the Immortal Ridge, ignoring the crowd around him, his face was full of gloom.
There are a total of twelve areas in the illusion, and there are also twelve energy walls, aside from the two that the Yu family has completely destroyed, there are still ten energy walls.
Give the ancestor a secret painting a year, in exchange for a year of peace, this fucking protection fee is too ruthless. Flowing Fire can't forget the threatening words spoken by the old ancestor and Yan Yuese.
"Xiao Liuhuo, the conditions of the old ancestor are already quite generous, and it is enough to give you ten years of development, if you can't become strong in ten years, then you can't blame the old ancestor for being ruthless?"
Arrogant, it's too arrogant, but the ancestor of the Yu family has arrogant capital, although he has nine thousand captives in his hand, but this bit of bargaining chip can't suppress the ancestor at all.
Liuhuo walked into the big tent, looked at the friends, subordinates and women who followed him, and said with a smile.
"No problem, the two sides have an unconditional truce, and the use of the Yuan Qi Great Array will be divided into two in the future, and they will be in the first half of the year and we will be in the second half of the year..."
"In the future, Zhongzhou Mountain will become a truce zone, and we will send a thousand soldiers from each side, and my master Liu Lao and the old ancestor of the Yu family, including Uncle Wenmo, will form a management committee to guard this big array together..."
"Huh?" After Liuhuo finished speaking, everyone was stunned, "This is the end? Could it be that we have killed and injured so many soldiers just like that? What about the murderer? Could it be that if Master Tongxuan was forced to die, Yufei and Li Xiao, who slaughtered Sanxiu, would not be punished?"
"yes, and our soldiers? Did tens of thousands of lives die in vain?"
"Point soldiers, point soldiers, transfer all our reserve army, go to the vast mountain to gather giants as mercenaries, let's fight with them..."
"Yes, revenge, revenge..."
The atmosphere in the entire military tent instantly became feverish, and the expression of the flowing fire became more and more gloomy.
