Chapter 36: Calm Down!
Xu Lin had some doubts in his heart, and tentatively asked Sikong Zai why he had taken a fancy to the place of the Imperial Sword Gate.
Sikong Zai had been prepared for this for a long time, explaining: "You know that the biggest business of my Iron Knife Gate is forging armor and weapons, but this kind of thing is not enough to rely on manpower alone, and you need water power to help. There is only one mountain stream near the Iron Knife Gate, and the water power is simply not enough. There is a waterfall in the mountain behind the Edgeworth, and if we build a waterwheel, at least half of our labor will be saved, and we will naturally earn more. This is mutually beneficial, and Xu Zhangmen can consider it. β
This explanation is reasonable, but Xu Lin still doesn't believe it in his heart. He decided that when he was done today, he would return to the back mountain in the evening to investigate.
Xu Lin didn't immediately refuse Sikong Zai, but pretended to be very excited, and then said that he would go back and think about it for a few days, which could be regarded as stabilizing the other party first. Otherwise, if he refuses categorically, maybe this person will turn his face and come up with some tricks.
Stepping on the light of the morning sun, the master and apprentice returned to the position of the Imperial Sword Gate. Although this small place is still very remote, and there is not even a ring, it really looks shabby compared to the Iron Knife Gate.
But unlike the Iron Sword Gate, there was already a long queue at the entrance of the Edgeworth Gate.
Xu Lin seemed to have been prepared, and he didn't panic in his heart, and squeezed in with the Huangfu Iron Ox.
As a result, before the four apprentices saw it, they first saw Yin Honglian sitting in the wooden shed next to them.
"Lord Yin Feng, aren't you going to see your disciple?" Xu Lin asked strangely.
"Red Lotus Peak has accepted two people this year, and there is a queue in the back." Yin Honglian drank tea and said without raising her head.
Xu Lin was a little embarrassed, this woman was too familiar, even if she was an ally, but what was the situation of sitting on her own turf drinking tea like this? My master hasn't even sat down yet.
But forget it, who calls people masters.
Xu Lin simply poured himself a cup of tea, sat opposite Yin Honglian, and then instructed Huangfu Tie Niu: "Tell the squirrel to hang that they can start, wait for you to be the main force." I really can't hold it to allow substitutions, understand? β
Huangfu Tie Niumei smiled, this is an opportunity to increase his fans in the live broadcast. Just now, there was a five-game winning streak in the Iron Knife Gate, which had already earned him a lot of gifts, and the cost of the next tower had been recovered by one-tenth.
This kind of good thing, how could Huangfu Tie Niu refuse.
As soon as Huangfu Tie Niu came back, several other disciples of the Imperial Sword Gate hurriedly beat gongs and drums and said, "It's started, the Imperial Sword Gate Ring Challenge has begun." Look at the sign next to the rule, and if you don't understand, you can kick it and line up again! Get out of the way, don't cross the line on the ground! β
There was a shout, as if doing business on the street, but those who lined up were in good spirits, and quickly formed several long curvy lines.
Seeing this scene, Yin Honglian couldn't help but say: "Master Xu, I am really impressed with you this time, how did you get these new disciples to voluntarily come to your side of the Sword Gate to send challenge cards?" β
Hehe, of course it was attracted by the mission.
Xu Lin had already calculated that this time the Martial Alliance recruited new recruits, and there were only about 300 people in total, and players accounted for nearly three-fifths of the total. Although Xu Lin didn't know that there was such a thing as a player forum, he knew that there must be some special means of communication between these players.
So, when he set the challenge of Edgeworth as a mission, these players naturally flocked to him. Of course, Xu Lin didn't dare to directly set the task content as "losing to the disciples of the Imperial Sword Sect", so that if he played a fake match, it would be easy for people to find out.
But he believes that even if he doesn't play match-fixing, with the strength of these disciples of his Imperial Sword Sect, he will win more and lose less against players. As long as a large number of players' challenge cards are included in the bag of the Imperial Sword Gate, no matter how strong the Kongsang faction is, it will be meaningless to face those rookie disciples who don't have challenge cards.
This method is to play a time difference, to ensure that when the other sects do not react, the Edgeworth Gate will collect these challenge cards first. Otherwise, once it is discovered, there is a high chance that someone will come to grab the food.
Therefore, Xu Lin chose Huangfu Tieniu to be the challenge card harvester.
I saw Huangfu Tie Niu standing in the center of the ring where the ground was drawn with tree branches, and shouted: "I want to fight ten!" β
Of course, he had been pretending to warm up in the ring for a minute or two before shouting this. As a result, all ten players who rushed out to challenge themselves fell to their knees.
The poisonous gas has already diffused, as long as Huangfu Tie Niu's internal strength is enough, the poisonous gas evaporated from his sweat will be endless.
The recovery of ordinary people's internal strength is limited, and injuries will also seriously affect their sustained combat effectiveness. But for the player, after a few seconds of taking drugs, he is a good man. Emperor Dou didn't die from Ma Kuai's injuries at the beginning, and he would recover in two or three minutes.
Huangfu Tieniu's Five Poisons Red Flame Gong is Xu Lin's ticket swiping plug-in, and in less than a few minutes, the players fell one by one.
Thankfully, this bit of toxin is nothing more than a negative effect of a weakened state for the player, and it will take a while to recover after moving out of the ring. Otherwise, Xu Lin would have to prepare the antidote pill, and he would really be bankrupt, after all, he couldn't control the rewards of the system.
The players who were poisoned gritted their teeth one by one, but they could only be willing to gamble and lose. Although many of them have already heard Xu Lin talk about martial arts, they have mastered the secret martial arts of the fragments. But in the face of this pervasive poisonous gas, unless there is a targeted special martial art, it is really impossible to resist.
In addition, the number of tasks completed by several disciples of the Imperial Sword Gate far exceeded that of other players, and the rewards they received naturally exceeded them. Not counting anything else, the Tai Chi True Pill, which can increase one's strength in one year, each of them ate at least five pills, and Emperor Dou ate nearly twenty pills if he didn't die from Ma Kuai.
Coupled with the swordsmanship that Xu Lin taught his disciples, it was difficult to win the siege.
Of course, Huangfu Tie Niu is not a champion of the world, and occasionally encounters a few players who attack aggressively, and he will decisively admit defeat. But the odds are usually very small, and you win a dozen challenge cards before you lose once or twice.
After Yin Honglian's battle began, the cherry mouth was so surprised that she never closed it. I was surprised by the speed at which Huangfu Tie Niu swiped the challenge cards, I was surprised by the strength of the disciples of the Imperial Sword Sect, and I was surprised by the endless secret martial arts of these "aliens".
Yin Honglian didn't know that among the newcomers recruited this year, they all had unique skills.
"These are the aliens you said, Master Xu, I'm starting to believe what you say. It doesn't seem to take ten years to bring down the Kongsang faction by them. Yin Honglian said excitedly.
Although she got the cheats of the second half of "Cloud Heart Flying Sleeves", Yin Honglian felt that it would take ten years of cultivation before she had the confidence to fight with Jiang Wanren to the end.
And everything I saw in front of me didn't seem to have to wait for ten years at all.
"Lord Yin Feng, do you think the Kongsang Sect will give us this kind of opportunity? You can see the strangeness of these strange people, how can the people of the Kongsang sect not see it. You wait, after today, the Kongsang faction will definitely take action against these strangers. Shunchang's rebellion has always been the core rule of the Wumeng. Xu Lin said with emotion.
"Then you still dare to steal the top spot of the Empty Sang Sect? Aren't you afraid of being killed by Jiang Wanren? Yin Honglian asked.
"I was really scared before, but after listening to Lord Yin Feng's words, I understood one thing." Xu Lin said quite seriously.
"What's the matter?" Yin Honglian asked curiously.
"Jiang Wanren has paid more and more attention to the Wumeng in recent years, and under the addition and deletion of various rules, the Wumeng has become more and more like a whole. As a warrior who pursues harmony, what does power mean to him? As long as he can join the Tao and be invincible in the world, he can integrate all the sects in Kongsang Mountain and even the entire Jianghu with a single word.
"But listening to what you said, Jiang Wanren's martial arts path has major flaws, and he can't join the path with his own strength, so he plans to find another way. Lord Yin Feng, you are his whetstone, and so is this Empty Sang Martial Alliance. He wants to wake up to the power of the world, get drunk and lie on the knees of beauties, and push the martial arts realm to the peak with this kind of royal attitude.
Therefore, in this case, Jiang Wanren will not casually make a move against the Imperial Sword Gate, and he will definitely abide by the rules he has set. It is not worth Jiang Wanren to break the rules at the risk of making it even more difficult to join the Dao. As long as I don't find a loophole for the Kongsang faction, I can survive this rule and slowly accumulate strength. β
Xu Lin didn't understand these things originally, but after reading so many martial arts cheats and practicing in the Alternate World Pagoda for a few days, his whole person's insight had already been reborn.
Although the realm is only a god, the vision is not much worse than returning to the void. Therefore, he is eighty percent sure of his judgment, even if his judgment is wrong, it is a big deal to roll up and leave, anyway, it will not be a loss.
After saying these words, Yin Honglian's phoenix eyes were shining, and she was also returning to the realm of emptiness, so she could naturally distinguish the truth from what Xu Lin said. It's just that she never thought that the Kongsang Wumeng still had this meaning to Jiang Wanren before, and now that she thinks about it, she feels even more intrigued, and it is true.
I only heard her say excitedly: "According to this reason, if I destroy the Empty Sang Martial Alliance, wouldn't Jiang Wanren be even more incompatible?" β
