Chapter 4 Open Struggle and Secret Fighting
【Liu Tianyun:
The old man is serious, and the hero is short of breath.
Hou Yi of the Spirit Clan, who has struggled for the revival of the Spirit Race all his life, has no choice but to be born at the wrong time, and the hero is short of breath. 】
Duan Tiande looked at the speaker, it was Liu Tianyun, the chief secretary of the Qi Control Division, although he was very unhappy in his heart, but looking at Duan Feng, who was already dying, Duan Tiande still forced his displeasure in his heart.
He knew that Liu Tianyun had always coveted the formula of the Hundred Flower Pill, and he had never returned the formula to him in order to be able to firmly control the Qi Control Division, and he had been trying to find a way to weaken the influence of the Liu family in Phoenix City, and it was impossible to teach the formula to Liu Tianyun.
As an elixir that can quickly repair wounds and improve qi elements, Baihua Pill is a shortcut to improving one's own qi state after absorbing external qi elements for qi masters, so even in the Qi Control Division, only a few people are eligible to enjoy it.
Moreover, in recent years, it is not new for the Duan Liu family to fight openly and secretly in Phoenix. Although he is now the lord of the city, Liu Tianyun can't do anything with himself, but in terms of aura alone, he can't grasp the victory.
Over the years, the Liu family has installed a large number of descendants in the Qi Control Division and various departments in Phoenix City, and some of them have already been in high positions, and they have been affected by the whole body, so Duan Tiande has been holding back all these years.
Although Liu Tianyun has the trump card of the Qi Control Division in his hand, after all, his identity is not as good as Duan Tiande, and as a descendant of the Spirit Clan, he has always been guarded by the imperial court, so he is also obedient to the Duan family on the surface.
The corners of Duan Tiande's mouth twitched, he looked at Liu Tianyun coldly, took out a roll of cloth from his arms, and put it in front of him, Liu Tianyun slowly opened his eyes, took the cloth strip, and held it tightly in his hand, the cloth strip turned into a little red light and disappeared in front of everyone.
The reason why Duan Tiande was willing to hand over the formula to Liu Tianyun was that he hoped that with the help of Liu Tianyun's assistance, Duan Feng could be saved, as long as he had Duan Feng's trump card in his hand, even if Liu Tianyun had the refining right of Baihua Pill, it would not matter in the future.
Liu Tianyun looked at Duan Tiande, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "In this case, even if the old man fights for this old life, he will save the life of the little master." ”
Duan Tiande looked at Sima Ran with a beard and Ling Yan with red hair, both of whom were Duan Tiande's subordinates, and they didn't have the capital in their hands that could compete with Duan Tiande like Liu Tianyun, so they could only obediently obey orders.
The four of them sat on the ground, their hands folded, only to see a white ball of light slowly forming around the palm, the hands slowly opened, and a small ball of golden light appeared in the palm of each person's hand, and the ball became larger and larger, gradually exceeding the scope of the palm.
I saw that the four of them pushed with both hands, and the small balls flew over the super cold ice bed, and the four small balls rotated twice around the ice bed, gradually merging in the center, and the originally dark cold ice room was instantly illuminated as if it were day.
The four of them chanted the incantation, and saw that the big ball that was integrated into one instantly emitted a golden light, and the golden light pointed directly at the center of Duan Feng's eyebrows. Duan Feng's body shook, and a layer of frost gradually covered his body.
A moment later, the ice bed that had already melted was instantly frozen again, and the ice room was as cold as an ice cellar, and the surrounding fog also turned into snowflakes and fell in an instant.
Duan Feng's face gradually turned from red to pale, and his body was covered with a layer of crystal frost.
Just as the four of them were about to finish their work, Duan Tiande opened his eyes and gave a look to Sima Yu and Ling Yan on both sides, and the two of them also looked at Duan Tiande, and immediately understood what chance was more suitable than killing Liu Tianyun now, Duan Tiande thought to himself, the opportunity must not be lost.
I saw that the three of them slowly put their hands together, and three streams of bright white gas immediately floated out from the big ball, and the three streams of gas rotated around the big ball, and the speed became faster and faster, until the big ball was completely enveloped.
Liu Tianyun was preparing to collect his strength, and suddenly felt that his qi realm seemed to be slowly weakening, and there was a force that was sucking his qi yuan out of his body, and he wanted to use his qi to stop the loss of qi yuan, but he felt that his qi yuan seemed to be separated from him by a barrier.
Liu Tianyun suddenly felt that something was wrong, he was calculated, his qi yuan was being eaten up little by little, and he couldn't do anything!
When he opened his eyes, it was too late, his Qi Yuan had been completely absorbed by the other three Qi Yuan, and it was impossible to separate them again.
Liu Tianyun's dantian churned for a while, and then it seemed that there was a true qi overflowing from the dantian, so he hurriedly collected his work, and just wanted to get up, Duan Tiande and the three of them suddenly exercised, and a white light came out of the big ball, hitting Liu Tianyun's chest, Liu Tianyun only felt that his chest was hot, his mouth spit blood, and he passed out.
When he woke up, he was already lying on his bed, breathing like a gossamer, dying, and kneeling next to him were his son Liu Nanchun and youngest daughter Liu Yuwei.
Liu Tianyun originally wanted to tell his son the truth of the matter, but after thinking about it, with his son's temper, if he knew the truth, he was afraid that he would fight with Duan Tiande.
Liu Tianyun looked at his little daughter again, Liu Yu was crying and crying in front of the bed, there was no longer the willfulness of weekdays, Liu Tianyun's eyes were full of unwillingness, and his heart was full of resentment, but he could only bury these in his heart.
To his relief, his son had inherited his ideas, and the battle between the Liu family and the Duan family had completely moved from behind the scenes to the front of the stage. He only hoped that his son would be able to fulfill his wish for himself in the future and realize the dream of the Spirit Clan for thousands of years.
Until Liu Tianyun died, Liu Nanchun thought that his father's death was due to overwork and qi and soul exhaustion, and finally Liu Nanchun successfully took over the control of the Qi Division.
Ling Yan came out of Duan's mansion, his feet were weak, and he hurriedly reached out to support the stone lion at the door, and spit out a mouthful of blood from his mouth, he didn't expect that Duan Tiande would take this opportunity to absorb his qi yuan, although he didn't kill himself like he did with Liu Tianyun, but he absorbed his nearly thirty years of cultivation, and it was probably impossible for him to surpass Duan Tiande.
"Could it be that Duan Tiande knows about his affairs with Liu Tianyun? It is impossible? Although Liu Tianyun has tried to woo him many times, he has been sternly rejected by himself. Ling Yan clutched his chest and let out a long sigh of relief, "It seems that I really should think about the way back." ”
"Father, I am willing to accept punishment. Duan Yun knelt in front of his father and bowed his head and said.
Duan Tiande waved his trembling hand slightly, absorbing hundreds of years of cultivation at one time, Duan Tiande felt as if a fire was burning in his body, three different qi elements were scurrying in his body, although he tried his best to suppress it, it still didn't help, but he couldn't show it in front of his son.
"It's not your fault, but fortunately Feng'er is fine. ”
"But the poison was inflicted by my people. Duan Yun continued to kneel, and said reproachfully, "He has been with me for nearly ten years, and I didn't even know that he was an undercover agent, but unfortunately I couldn't ask who his owner was." ”
"None of us thought that even if this matter was over, there would be no need to ask again. Duan Tiande said weakly.
"But how is the second brother?" Duan Yun raised his head and said.
"My life is saved, but it's a pity that it will be difficult to cultivate high-level qi control techniques in the future, so I can only be an ordinary person. When he said this, Duan Tiande's face showed a burst of unwillingness.
"What about the Liu family?" Duan Yun stood up, walked to his father's side, and helped his father to stand up.
Duan Tiande looked at the eldest son beside him, and both of them knew in their hearts that the undercover agent was sent by Liu Tianyun, and the object he wanted to poison was himself, but Duan Feng was naughty and secretly drank the medicinal soup used in his practice, so the younger son saved his life.
Thinking of this, Duan Tiande suddenly felt a little guilty in his heart.
"Don't act rashly for the time being, the Liu family still has a lot of power in Phoenix City now, so don't be reckless. ”
"What about Ling Yan?"
"He?" Duan Tiande sneered, "He can't make any big waves anymore, this time it's just a small warning to him." ”
"What about the Armament Division? They can control the soldiers and horses of the whole city. ”
"Sima Yu is our person, don't worry, now you have to put all your energy into the Qi Control Division, Liu Tianyun may not live for a few days, and then his son Liu Nanchun, this kid doesn't look at the usual silence, in fact, the depth of the city is not under his father. ”
Duan Yun nodded thoughtfully.
······
Two years later.
East Fence Country, west of Phoenix City.
Duan Feng held a cold ice sword that shone with silver light and played with the weeds beside him, walking in the forest of beasts boredly, muttering to himself in his mouth, the weeds cut by the ice sword oozed dripping with light purple liquid, leaving a purple trail behind Duan Feng.
"It seems that I'm going to go back empty-handed again today, Earth Spirit Beast, Earth Spirit Beast, when are you coming out? Even if a first-order Earth Spirit Beast comes out, it's okay." Otherwise, the opportunity I worked so hard to get from my eldest brother would be in vain. ”
As the second son of Duan Tiande, the lord of Phoenix City, although his status is prominent, no one dares to provoke him in Phoenix City or even the entire Nanhai County.
But Duan Feng knew in his heart that those people were just obsessed with the power of the Duan family, not out of respect for themselves, and in the eyes of everyone, they were somewhat despised.
Since the loss of Qi Yuan two years ago, Duan Tiande had also sent people to find Duan Feng's original master, hoping that they could help Duan Feng regain his Qi Yuan again, but he never succeeded. In desperation, Duan Feng had to follow the cultivation of other qi control masters in the mansion, but the effect was very small, after all these years of cultivation, he did not even cultivate a little weak qi element, and the weak aura in his body could not even be defeated by the most ordinary martial artists, let alone qi control masters of the same age.
What's more, due to the heavy weight of the five yin and the poison, in order to survive, he had to ban the qi veins in his body, and he could no longer practice the superior qi control technique, no matter how hard he tried, he could only become a low-level qi control master, which naturally became the object of ridicule in the Dongli country, which advocated qi control art.
But Duan Feng was unwilling to do nothing, Duan Feng, who was originally arrogant, had to rein in his edge over the years, but he had been secretly trying to regain his previous super qi element, even if he was heavily poisonous, he still followed Wen Bo to self-cultivate qi control techniques.
Moreover, Duan Fu has a lot of qi, and after years of cultivation, he has miraculously cultivated the qi element, although it is very weak, but this still makes Duan Feng very happy.
However, if you want to quickly practice the Qi Control Technique, entering the Qi Control Division is the best choice, because there are the best Qi Control Masters in the world gathered here, and the best masters can be found here. The most important thing is that it has always been Duan Tiande's wish to arrange his son into the Qi Control Division, but due to Liu Tianyun's reasons, Duan Yun was unable to enter, but for Duan Feng, Liu Nanchun didn't seem to deliberately shirk it.
After all, Duan Feng was now considered a half-crippled person, and even if he entered the Qi Master, he would not be able to threaten the status of the Liu family.
However, if you want to enter the Qi Control Division, it is not all unconditional, that is, you must have a spirit beast of your own, and this rule is newly added by Liu Nanchun.
If you want to absorb the qi elements of other qi masters, you have to kill a qi master, which is not only illegal, but also if you can't fight the other party, you will also be killed, so hunting spirit beasts and absorbing their qi elements is the best choice.
What's more, spirit beasts can also be used as their assistants in battle, and some spirit beasts can also be used as mounts, in short, raising spirit beasts is beneficial and harmless for qi masters.
"There is no body as qualified as others, at least there must be a spirit beast to fill the façade, and you can't lose Duan Fu's face. ”
Duan Feng agreed without hesitation, he had long heard that there were many spirit beasts in the Hundred Beast Forest, and two or three of them could be smashed by throwing a brick, and the high-level spirit beasts couldn't catch them, and the low-level spirit beasts couldn't be caught.
But what disappointed him was that more than half a month had passed, as if those spirit beasts were deliberately avoiding themselves, and even those who came to the Hundred Beast Forest later than him could easily capture a spirit beast, but he didn't find anything.
