Chapter Eighty-Three: The Real Big Man
The dinner soon began in earnest.
After Gu Yan'er came back, she sat beside Li Chen generously, pulling Li Chen and Yu Yu to gossip.
Mu Xi looked at Li Chen, who was accompanied by two beauties, and then looked at Xu Hailian and Lian Chengfeng, his eyes showed hesitation, and he didn't let Li Chen get close to Xu Hailian like in the past, just sat silently beside Xu Yingjie.
While the others didn't pay attention to Li Chen, they just talked about the big and small things in the sect recently.
"Uncle Xu, have you heard of King Li Yin?" asked Xi Siyu with a curious face.
"King Li Yin?!" Xu Yingjie's eyes showed awe, and he said in surprise, "You little ghosts have actually heard of King Li Yin?!"
"Yes, in the past few months, there is still anyone in the sect who has not heard of the name of King Li Yin! That is the legendary Flying Sword King!" Xi Siyu nodded with starry eyes.
"Yes, it was said that King Li Yin was only familiar with Zhou Chenglong, the master of the Thunder Hall, and he was not very well-known in the entire sect. But three months ago, he had already become a figure of the whole sect. Zuo Tong said excitedly, "According to my father, the sect is down to the hall master, up to the peak master, and everyone has seen the strength of that Li Yin King!"
"It is rumored that King Li Yin's three sword rays killed another sword king powerhouse known as the Tiger King, which is even more legendary than a legend. Xu Hailian was also interested, and said with a smile on her face full of admiration, "Even we, the outer disciples, have been discussing this King Li Yin for the past three months. β
"I don't know what is the origin of this King Li Yin, and he suddenly became famous in the entire sect?" even Cheng Feng frowned on the side.
"I see, you should ask Gu Yan'er about this matter. Xu Yingjie looked at Gu Yan'er with reverence and smiled.
"Ah, what do you ask me for?" Gu Yan'er said in surprise.
"Because of your father, he knows the king of Li Yin best. Xu Yingjie said with admiration.
"I don't know who King Li Yin really is, because I'm just a small worshipper, and I don't know much about the secrets between the top leaders of these sects. Seeing that Gu Yan'er's eyes were still full of doubts, Xu Yingjie patiently explained, "I only heard that it seems that the hall master and peak master of the entire sect have all held a sword salute to the king of Li Yin, and the entire sect has already surrendered to the king of Li Yin." β
He slowed down, swept his eyes over everyone, and then said: "This includes Zhou Chenglong, the hall master of our Water Mirror Peak, and Gu Huaiying, the peak master of Qingyue Peak, that is, Gu Yan'er, your father. β
As soon as these words came out, everyone at the scene changed color.
Zhou Chenglong and Gu Huaiying, who are these two people? One is the overlord existence of Shuijing Peak under one person and above ten thousand people, and the other is the master of the third peak of the sect, Qingyue Peak, and the first peak, which is a powerful existence of the Sword Spirit Dacheng and one of the cards of the sect.
Combined, these two people can almost represent the two peaks of the sect, even if you look at the entire Nanling County, they are at least comparable to the existence of a state taishou.
Now that the sect is up to the peak master and down to the hall master, they are all subservient to this King Li Yin, so isn't this King Li Yin not even taking the head of the house in his eyes, and has even replaced the head of the house?
People like Zuo Tong and Lian Chengfeng, who were born as sons of worship, know best how much energy is represented here.
It can be said that the characters who can make the entire high-level of the Northern Spirit Sword Sect surrender, that is, they can make half of Nanling County surrender.
With such an existence, even if Niu Er, who replaced the rumored sect head and was in charge of half of Nanling County, no one would dare to say a word.
Even the capital of Nanling County, the secular magnates on the side of Nanzhou Mansion, the officials who really rule Nanling County on the surface, I am afraid that they will consciously bow their heads when they see this King Li Yin.
"No wonder there have been rumors recently that King Li Yin of the Northern Spirit and Huang Bantian of the Southern Spirit. Lian Chengfeng held his chin and said seriously, "These two people happen to lead the two major cultivation forces in our Nanling County, and they are real figures. β
"King Li Yin, I don't know about that person, but that Nanling's Huang Bantian is a big man who has been famous for a long time, and I have heard of this person since I fought twenty years ago. Mu Xi suddenly said thoughtfully.
"Mother, have you also heard of that yellow half-day?" Xu Hailian opened her eyes curiously, and said with a smile in her arms, "Why don't you tell your daughter about it and relieve her hunger." β
"This is natural, after all, your father is a sect worshipper, and I have heard a lot of big and small news. Mu Xi turned his head to look at Xu Yingjie and said calmly.
Xu Yingjie nodded and motioned for the curtain to continue.
"That Huang Bantian, it is the head of the Southern Spirit Sword Sect, and our Northern Spirit Sword Sect has always been ruled by the mountain, it is said that his cultivation over the years has faintly surpassed our head of the sect, so the sect has been secretly guarding them for a long time, for fear that their Southern Spirit Sword Sect will come and invade us. β
"I've heard my father say a thing or two about that yellow half-day. Lian Chengfeng showed a smug look on his face and boasted, "That Huang Bantian is not only the head of the Nanling Sword Sect, but also extends his power to most of Nanling County, and the wealth he has gathered in his personal name is already quite huge, that is, the wealth of the Yang family, the number one wealthy family in Nanling County, can be more than him, but the gap between them will not be really big." β
"Is it the Yang family in Nanzhou Mansion?" everyone instantly fell silent.
The Yang family in Nanzhou Mansion is a real wealthy family in the traditional secular forces of Nanling County.
It is said that the Yang family's business is all over Nanling County, and it has colluded with officials of all sizes in Nanzhou Prefecture, and even in the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there are some connections, so it has been prosperous for a long time, and it is the real first chaebol in Nanling County.
Such a family, it is said that it has invited the Sword Spirit Consummation and even the Sword King to go to the earthquake field, and it is a strong existence that can truly compete with the two heads of the Northern and Southern Spirit Sword Sects.
At this point, even if they were arrogant sword cultivators, they had to be in awe and awe.
"The Yang family of Nanzhou Mansion?" Only Li Chen's eyes flashed with a different color, and he frowned silently.
This Yang family Li Chen is the clearest.
Yang Zilong, the son of the Yang family, is the recognized number one suitor of his fiancΓ©e, and the biggest rival in Li Chen's mind in the past two years!
"Whether it is King Li Yin, or the real big names of Huang Bantian and the Yang family, they are all powerful beings who really determine the order of the entire Nanling County. Zuo Tong said dumbly, "My little son of worship, compared to them, is almost a heaven and a earth, and I don't know if I can reach such a height as them in this life." β
Even if his father Zuo Yang was already a sword master and could take over as the hall master of the Wind Hall in half a year, then his Zuo Tong would only be the son of the hall master, and compared with the height of those three existences, it was still only a small step.
After all, his father was still a sword master, and the other party's cultivation and even the sword king, and the power and even the entire Nanling County were not of an order of magnitude at all.
"Zuotong, you don't have to be ashamed, you still have a long way to go. Xu Yingjie comforted, "If you are more competitive and reach the great success of the sword master within ten years, you may not have the opportunity to impact the sword spirit in the future, or even comparable to the current sect leader, even if you are still a head lower than the sword king, it will not be much worse." β
He smiled at Lian Chengfeng again: "And Lian Chengfeng, you are now young, you have entered the entry of the sword master, and the future is immeasurable, I am afraid that you will be like Gu Yan'er's father, Gu Fengzhu, before the age of thirty, to impact the sword spirit realm, and at that time, whether you can see the hope of advancing the sword king depends on your own creation." β
Lian Chengfeng arched his hand and said modestly: "Uncle Xu has exalted me, I am just a little lucky, even my father often says that although Uncle Xu is the same as him, but in the future, if the two of them only see who will rise to the hall master first, it must be Uncle Xu." β
"Hahaha, I didn't expect Lian Jiutian to look at me like this!" Xu Yingjie laughed, "He deserves to be my friend for many years, and he is worthy of the glass of wine I drank with him ten years ago!"
Lian Chengfeng nodded, and said calmly: "And I see that Hailian is now about to be promoted to the swordsman consummation, I'm afraid that in another half a year, she will catch up with me." β
"Well, when the time comes, both of you will be swordsmen, and you will be able to take over the worship status and brotherhood of your two fathers. Xu Yingjie exclaimed.
There were two meanings implied in his words, and even Chengfeng heard that his eyes were already showing joy, and he said heroically: "There will be a day, please rest assured Uncle Xu." β
"Father, what are you talking about!" Xu Hailian heard the mystery and said with some confusion, "You're almost an old man, don't worry about these thoughts!"
After that, the corners of her eyes swept over Li Chen, and after finding that Li Chen was not the slightest unusual, and didn't even care about what they were talking about, she couldn't help frowning slightly, and an inexplicable irritability flashed in her heart.
"And Gu Yan'er, you are the precious daughter of Lord Gu Feng, and you are originally the most noble person we have here. Xu Yingjie then said with a smile, "As long as you grasp it well and live up to Lord Gu Feng's hard cultivation, you may not be able to surpass Lord Gu Feng in the future and impact the consummation of the sword spirit, then I am afraid you can also compete for the head of the family, or even become your own faction!"
"Thank you Uncle Xu for your advice, but how can there be a woman in the world who is the head of a faction, Yan'er, I'm afraid I can't do it. Gu Yan'er shook her head and smiled.
"Yes, it is said that a hundred years ago, there was a sect in the Great Zhou, called the Emei faction, and all of them were women, and women could hold up half the sky!" Xu Yingjie laughed.
He planned the future of the young people on the scene, and finally looked at Li Chen for a moment, and then quickly moved away, without speaking, just shaking his head without making a trace.
Lian Chengfeng's heart was bright, and he knew that Li Chen's current appearance was no longer qualified for Xu Yingjie to take it to heart, and he couldn't help but feel a little funny.
You can't say that you defeated Xue Yunfei, who was a perfect swordsman, and now you can still defeat them as a swordsman, right?
You must know that if you enter the sword master and cultivate your internal breath, you can exert a strength and speed that far surpasses that of superhumans, and this Li Chenkong has brute strength, which is no longer enough in the eyes of a real sword master.
The dinner ended quickly, and everyone had a good time.
Before Li Chen left, he asked Xu Hailian if the jade pendant was still there.
Xu Hailian was stunned, and then remembered that there was such a thing, so she forgot about Li Chen with complicated eyes, and then took out the smooth jade pendant from her arms.
"Is there anything special about this jade pendant?" asked Xi Siyu curiously.
