Chapter 358: The Wind Rises

In front of the Shadow Crystal, Wu Mo glanced at Huo Xing, and then looked at Bai Sansi, who was speechless, as if he had thought of something, and immediately said: "What, you two talk, the old man still has some exercises and combat skills to sort out and classify, so let's go first." ”

After saying that, Wu Mo's figure disappeared into the depths of the Secret Pavilion, Wu Mo knew very well that although he now had a half-step cultivation of the Venerable Realm, he still had no confidence in Shanghuo Xing in terms of cultivation, and although Bai Sansi's cultivation was not as good as his own, his identity could be said to be extremely special in the Life and Destruction Sect.

Before the Shadow Crystal, Huo Xing thought about it and then opened his mouth to persuade: "Xiaobai, I know that Han Sheng's departure has hit you hard, but in any case, Lin Liang is the heir chosen by Han Sheng, not to mention that this is the result of peeking into the Dao of Destiny through the grafting of the Divine Technique, now that you have seen Lin Liang's potential, why be too persistent about some things?"

In the entire Life and Destruction Sect, only Huo Xing and Wu Mo knew the relationship between Bai Sansi and Han Sheng, and when the Sect Master of the Last Generation of Life and Destruction Sect was in power, Han Sheng and Bai Sansi were both personal disciples of the sect master of that generation, and Bai Sansi was still Han Sheng's senior brother.

It's just that later, because Han Sheng's talent is really outstanding, coupled with his control of the overall situation and insight into people's hearts, as well as his resourcefulness that no one in the sect can match, that generation of sect masters finally chose Han Sheng as the new sect master.

Although Bai Sansi also had some thoughts about the position of the sect master at that time, Bai Sansi knew very well that his ability was inferior to the junior brother in any aspect, and the relationship between the two had always been very good, so after Han Sheng took over as the sect master, Bai Sansi did not have any dissatisfaction, but chose to become an elder of the Life and Destruction Sect.

After Han Sheng's death, Bai San thought a lot, and many elders secretly thought that Bai Sansi was dissatisfied with Lin Liang taking over as the sect master because he wanted to be the sect master, but only Huo Xing knew that the reason why Bai Sansi targeted Lin Liang was because Lin Liang's ability was too much worse than Han Sheng's original Han Sheng, and he didn't worry about handing over the future of the Life and Destruction Sect, which Han Sheng had worked so hard to manage, to hand over to Lin Liang.

Therefore, the reason why Huo Xing summoned a group of elders here this time is to let everyone see Lin Liang's potential clearly, Huo Xing knows very well that for any person, only if someone takes him seriously, he will take himself seriously, if Bai Sansi and other elders do not regard Lin Liang as the real sect master, Lin Liang himself will not see himself as the sect master, how can he talk about the future and hope of becoming the life and destruction sect?

"Not to mention the human realm divine soul of this age, even I would not have such a cultivation at the age of the sect master. ”

Bai Sansi sighed and said: "I understand what Huo Lao meant, before Sansi was just blinded by a leaf, Huo Lao rest assured, since Sansi recognized the sect master, he would really treat him as the sect master." He also asked Huo Lao to apologize to the sect master on his behalf, although the sect master did not hear some words, but the people who spoke were uneasy in their hearts. ”

Huo Xing nodded, but his eyes were still full of surprise when he looked at Lin Liang, the human realm spirit, this is the place where Huo Xing didn't calculate it no matter how he calculated, I don't know why, Huo Xing at this time had a faint premonition in his heart, this place that he didn't calculate might become the biggest variable in the future plan.

One last glance at the picture on the Shadow Crystal, Huo Xing and Bai Sansi left the Secret Pavilion together, and no one noticed Huo Xing's last glance at the black and white stone mill, his eyes were full of disgust.

Imperial capital

Ten days have passed since the will to hold the Tenglong Conference half a year later, and the entire imperial capital has been calm in these ten days, and the children of each family have also been restrained by the elders of the family, and as the news of Qin Tianjian spread throughout the entire Southern Regions, another group of people led by Yang Ghost Yang Eunuch also began to investigate the entire imperial capital.

I have to say that the name Yang Ghost can be said to be thunderous in the ears of officials at all levels in the imperial capital, and many people with a little experience will immediately close the door of their homes and order to restrain the younger generations in the family as soon as they hear this name, which is also the reason why the always noisy imperial capital has become extremely calm during this time.

It was also at this time that a guest was welcomed in the mansion of Sima De, the imperial master.

Wang Zizhan sat in the lobby and drank the spiritual tea without taking a sip, but the calm on the surface could not hide the anxiety in his heart.

The Wang family, as the largest family in the imperial capital, has huge and intricate forces, not to mention that there are many factions within the Wang family, just the three sects and nine streams in the imperial capital, large and small forces, many of which have the shadow of the Wang family behind them, of course, as the current head of the Wang family, these things should not and do not need to be handled by Wang Zizhan himself, after all, sometimes the things that the people below do may not know.

In the past ten days, the imperial capital has been calm on the surface, but how could there be no movement at all when the ghost gate Yang Ghost made a move? As far as the news received by Wang Zizhan is concerned, half of the large and small forces that are secretly attached to the name of the Wang family on weekdays have been uprooted by Yang Ghost in these ten days.

If it's just like this, the Wang family has a big business, although there is less than half of the subsidiary forces, it can only be regarded as hurting the muscles and bones, and there is no big problem, but the news that follows will completely shock Wang Zizhan and the entire Wang family.

No one thought that even the children of the Wang family who were sent below to take charge of affairs did not expect that half of the forces that were uprooted by Yang Ghost had the shadows of other top forces behind them, and even Yang Ghost personally captured two secret agents from the Northern Regions and sent them to the heavenly prison for interrogation.

At this moment, the entire Wang family began to panic, if it was just the shadow of other top forces behind the subsidiary forces, the Wang family could also explain that at most, the strong man broke his wrist and cleaned up a group of people, but he also caught two secret agents from the Northern Regions, and this matter was made big.

A Tianqi Mountain Range divides the north and south regions of the continent, the northern region has a harsh climate and lack of resources, while the southern region is rich in resources and has a comfortable climate, since ancient times, the disputes between the north and the south have not stopped, although the northern region is difficult to survive, but the harsh environment has also honed a lot of strong people, if it is not for the Tiandu Mountain Range over the years, I am afraid that the northern region would have already killed and robbed the resources of the southern region.

Therefore, the southern region can be said to be strictly guarded against the border of the Tianyu Mountain Range, and any wind and grass will affect the hearts of the top forces in the southern region, the affairs of the Wang family are only internal affairs of the Great Yan Dynasty in the final analysis, but if it involves the northern regions, it is the affairs of the entire southern regions, this is the reason why Wang Zizhan came to Sima De today, he really doesn't know what to do.

"Hmm, Zizhan, why do you have time to come to the old man?" Sima De slowly stepped into the lobby, looking at Wang Zizhan who was waiting in the hall in surprise, but he already knew the other party's intention in his heart.

"Old lady, you have to think of a way, the Wang family is going to suffer a catastrophe this time!"

"Is it because of those forces that were cleaned up by Ghost Yang?" Sima De pretended: "No, it's just a few small forces, what can happen, don't say that your Wang family really doesn't know, even if you know, it's good to push things off, where did the Wang family catastrophe come from!"

"Old lady!"

Seeing Sima De's indifferent look, Wang Zizhan hurriedly said: "If it's just a small force under the control of a low-level disciple, why should I come to your old man's house? But the problem is that Ghost Yang caught two people from these forces and took them to the prison!"

"I'm afraid it's not that simple, right?" Sima De took a sip of tea and sneered: "As far as the old man knows, those two people are secret agents in the Northern Regions!"

Hearing this, Wang Zizhan was stunned, and hurriedly explained: "Old lady, you know everything, you listen to my explanation, whether those two people are secret agents in the Northern Regions, my Wang family really doesn't know at all! This matter has nothing to do with our Wang family!"

"The person was caught from your Wang family's shop, and the shopkeeper is also a child of your Wang family, you said that this matter has nothing to do with your Wang family, do you think Yang Ghost will believe it? Do you think Emperor Yan will believe it?"

Sima De's words hit Wang Zizhan like a heavy hammer in his heart, shattering Wang Zizhan's illusions.

Just as Sima De said, no matter how you explain it, the Wang family is in a catastrophe, and the reason why you would rather kill by mistake than let go couldn't be simpler, which of the previous Yan Emperors was a soft-hearted person? You must know that the current Yan Emperor led an army of 100,000 warriors to the imperial capital to ascend the throne!

Seeing Wang Zizhan slumped in his chair, Sima De said slowly: "However, after all, the Wang family is the largest family in the imperial capital, and it has also made a lot of contributions to the Great Yan Dynasty, and now it can be regarded as serving His Royal Highness the Great Prince, and just two secret agents will not let the Wang family fall into death." ”

As soon as he heard this, Wang Zizhan's mind immediately came to life, and he tentatively said in disbelief: "What does the old lady mean?"

"Speaking of which, Ghost Yang has checked a lot of people's family backgrounds these days, almost all of the top families in the imperial capital have been checked, and at least half of your Wang family's affiliated forces are left, and the rest are not easy to say!"

Sima De did not directly answer Wang Zizhan's words, but said meaningfully: "But I heard that there is a family whose power has not lost at all, and even Yang Ghost has not even entered the door, thinking about it, it is really powerful!"

"You may not believe it, that family is the Xue family where Xue Li is located. Sima De smiled and asked, "Do you know what the reason is for the war?"

"How is this possible?"

Wang Zizhan denied: "The development of the Xue family has indeed been a lot faster over the years, and even the former Liu family has been annexed by it, but in the end, the Xue family has only been established for more than ten years, and the reason why the Liu family can be annexed is because the Liu family has angered Emperor Yan by looking for death, how can Ghost Yang dare to investigate how dare we not dare to investigate the Xue family?"
