Chapter 916: I Expected It
"What? What are you talking about? Hetian Ancestor has been defeated! Qingyu City has been breached! Nonsense, how is this possible?!" When Shen Zhong, the head of the Divine Eye Country, received the urgent military information sent by the secret agent sent to Qingyu City, his face became extremely ugly, and he couldn't believe that what he saw was true.
The Xuantian Cliff, the old nest of the Hetian Ancestor, was located in the Divine Eyes Country, how could Shen Zhong not know, and of course the two of them had already secretly connected with each other.
Even when Hetian Old Ancestor was willing to run to Lan Haolin to be a national teacher, it was all secretly instructed by Shen Zhong. In order to place his own people beside Lan Haolin, constantly influence him, and play a role in controlling him.
If it weren't for Xia Fan jumping out to stir up the situation, then in Shen Zhong's plan, Lan Haolin would defeat Lu Chuan first, and then attack the Holy Dragon Kingdom at the instigation of the Hetian Ancestor. When both sides were defeated, he came out to make a profit.
It's just that he didn't expect that his huge plan had not yet had time to be officially implemented, and it was completely ruined because of Xia Fan's appearance. This already made Shen Zhong hate Xia Fan.
What made Shen Zhong both shocked and hated Xia Fan even more now was that he actually killed Hetian Ancestor.
When Hetian Ancestor was only a half-step Grandmaster, Shen Zhong didn't take it too seriously. After all, as an apprentice of the emperor, his vision is still quite high. A cultivator like Hetian Ancestor, even if he had the strength of a half-step grandmaster, he would not really take it seriously.
But when the Hetian Ancestor broke through to the Grandmaster Realm, it was naturally very different.
Although the cultivators of the Grandmaster Realm are also divided into three, six, nine and other levels, and their strength varies greatly, the Grandmaster Realm is the Grandmaster Realm after all. No matter how bad the strength is, it is enough to crush the Divine Spirit Realm, especially for the Divine Eye Country, it is definitely a great thing to have such a Grandmaster Realm powerhouse.
Originally, Shen Zhong was quite happy when he heard that Hetian Ancestor had broken through to the Grandmaster Realm, thinking that he would just use his hand to help Lan Haolin and then kill Xia Fan, so as to continue to promote his original plan.
But what he never dreamed of was that in his heart, because the joy of having such a strong person in the early stage of the Grandmaster Realm as Hetian Ancestor had not completely passed, and then he received the news that he had been killed by Xia Fan.
What made Shen Zhonghu even more angry was the intelligence that followed.
"Xia Fan chased and killed the Hetian Ancestor and went to the Xuantian Cliff, destroyed the Xuantian Cliff and also killed the Hetian Ancestor, and he also sent people over to occupy the Xuantian Cliff, damnable!" Shen Zhong looked at the information in his hand, and his internal organs were really angry.
"Xuantian Cliff belongs to the Divine Eye Country, how can Xia Fan say that he can occupy it, and send the worshippers in the palace to exterminate the people and horses sent by Xia Fan. Shen Zhong roared angrily.
"But......" Hao Renjie, the chief worshipper of the Divine Eye Country, was in front of Shen Zhong, and when he heard the voice, he stood up and said with a sad face: "Lord of the country, it's not too late for you to read the information before giving an order." ”
If it was an ordinary person, of course he would not dare to do this to Shen Zhong, because it was obviously questioning Shen Zhong's decision, but Hao Renjie did it, which showed that the weight of his chief worship in front of Shen Zhong was still very heavy.
"What, the one sent by Xia Fan turned out to be a Grandmaster Realm powerhouse!" Shen Zhong finished reading the information in his hand, his face suddenly turned blue and red, and his mood was also extremely complicated.
Of course, he was very angry, and he really wanted to kill the people sent by Xia Fan to occupy the Xuantian Cliff, and then declare that his territory was inviolable, but as soon as he saw that Jinsu was a powerhouse in the Grandmaster Realm, he knew that doing so would only make the situation worse.
The Grandmaster Realm powerhouses are already considered extremely powerful existences in this world, and they will only provoke them unless they are crazy. Shen Zhong hadn't gone crazy yet, and of course he wouldn't go to trouble Jinsuo, so he had to swallow this breath alive no matter what.
"Damn! Xia Fan, he's just riding on my neck and, I will never let him go. Isn't he just relying on his strength in the Grandmaster Realm, I also have to retreat, and when I get out of the realm, it's time to kill him. As soon as Shen Zhong thought of this, he announced on the spot that he was going to retreat again.
..................
The news that Hetian Ancestor was broken, Qingyu City was breached, and Lan Haolin fled spread quickly, and it didn't take long for Lu Chuan, who had been paying close attention to Xia Fan's side, to know about it.
Looking at the information written on the thin paper, Lu Chuan's heart was like a boulder pressed on it, heavy to the extreme, and his face was even more uncertain, shocked, unwilling and a little helpless.
"It seems that it is inevitable to come to this point after all! I thought it would take a long time, but I didn't expect his strength to improve so quickly, it's really not as good as heaven!" After staring at the information in his hand for a long time, Lu Chuan let out a long breath, but it seemed as if he had let go of a huge burden.
Walking to the table, Lu Chuan picked up the pen, pondered for a while, and then wrote a letter with his own hand, and then called the blood stab and said, "Go and hand it to Xia Fan with your own hands, and be respectful." ”
"Handsome ......" Seeing Lu Chuan like this, the blood stab couldn't help but feel a little uncertain.
"It's fine. Lu Chuan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Actually, I expected such a day, but I didn't expect it to come so soon, whether it's good or bad, I have to say it to my face." ”
Bloodthorn could guess some, but he didn't dare to ask more, so he nodded silently, picked up the letter and left.
..................
The first thing Xia Fan did after returning to Yunhuanhu's mansion was to summon Yu Kongyue, Bu Fenghou, Zhao Weiwei, Liu Yulinglong, Ge Changhe and others to come to discuss the matter.
On the way back from Xuantian Cliff, Xia Fan didn't fly fast, and took the opportunity to think about the steps of strategic adjustment. It's just that the specific way to do it has to be discussed with everyone in person. At the same time, he also wants to hear everyone's opinions.
Zhao Wei is in Yunhuan Lake, which is very convenient, but everyone else is busy with their own affairs, and it is not easy to get out, so Xia Fan has to be patient and wait.
It's just that he didn't wait for Yu Kongyue and the others to return, but Xia Fan, who was closing his eyes in the study and recuperating, was alarmed by the uninvited blood thorn.
Bloodthorn didn't ask to see him through the porter, but sneaked around the guards everywhere to get to Xia Fan's study and put down the letter.
I have to say that Bloodthorn's ability to hide his body is indeed quite good, at least he didn't alarm a single guard from the time he entered the door to the time he came to Xia Fan's study. But it was impossible for him to hide Xia Fan's perception, so the blood thorn was tragic on the spot.
"Hmph!" Xia Fan just snorted coldly, released his breath and suppressed it directly, so that the blood thorns that had already come to the study quietly were pressed on the spot as if they were pressed by a mountain peak, and they didn't support it for a moment before their legs fell to the ground.
The blood thorn didn't want to kneel, especially in front of Xia Fan, but with his current strength, facing Xia Fan in the early stage of the Grandmaster Realm, there was no room for resistance at all. Even if he wanted to, he couldn't carry it to the end.
Under the pressure of Xia Fan's great power, which was as deep as the sea and as heavy as a mountain, the bloody body couldn't help but kneel.
"No wonder the big handsome would be like that!" At this time, the blood thorn also completely understood why Lu Chuan said that. In the face of Xia Fan, whose strength is already so strong, even if he has thousands of troops and horses, I am afraid that he does not have much courage to compete with him. Besides, Xia Fan is not alone, and his subordinates are also as strong as clouds.
"I thought it was someone who came to my house in the middle of the night. When Xia Fan walked out of the study, he restrained his breath when he saw the blood thorn, looked at the blood thorn with an ugly face with a smile, and asked casually: "Lu Chuan ordered you to come here not to assassinate me, right?"
"Of course not. Bloodthorn subconsciously denied it, because he knew very well that if he was really charged with such a crime, then not only would he be finished, but even Lu Chuan and the others would be finished.
Assassinating a Grandmaster Realm powerhouse is already looking for death, not to mention that Xia Fan is not only strong but also has hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, if he believes that he is ordered to assassinate, then it will be a big trouble.
Bloodthorn glanced at Xia Fan, but couldn't help but immediately lowered his head, although Xia Fan's gaze was calm and there was no anger at all, but it was deep and powerful, and people couldn't help but be afraid and didn't dare to look directly at him.
At this time, the blood thorn woke up to the fact that no matter whether he admitted it or not, the current Xia Fan was no longer the sinister and cunning Xia Fan in his impression. He already has enough strength to crush the vast majority of his opponents, and people no longer dare to take him lightly.
"I was ordered to deliver the letter. Bloodthorn knelt on one knee, took out the letter written by Lu Chuan himself, held it in front of Xia Fan with both hands, and said: "What Fang Cai did was my reckless act, and it has nothing to do with Dashuai, if you want to pursue and kill me, you don't have to involve Dashuai, he doesn't know." ”
"Of course I know that Lu Chuan won't know, because if he wants to assassinate, I will find some stronger people, and at the same time, I will do it more carefully. Xia Fan said casually, reached out and took the letter, opened it and looked at it.
Lu Chuan's tone in the letter was quite polite, even a little humble, first congratulated Xia Fan on his great increase in strength and breakthrough to the Grandmaster Realm, and from then on he could start a sect and call the sect an ancestor, and then praised Xia Fan for killing the Hetian Ancestor, breaking through Qingyu City, and completely driving Lan Haolin out of the Blue Jade Country, so that he could pocket most of the territory of the Blue Jade Country.
After some compliments, Lu Chuan clarified his thoughts, that is, he wanted to invite Xia Fan to meet with him and discuss future matters.
Although Lu Chuan didn't particularly understand what he said in his heart, Xia Fan also guessed seven or eight points between the lines, most likely because Lu Chuan knew that it was difficult to compete with him, so he wanted to submit in advance, so even if he couldn't become the head of a country, it would not be a good choice to hold power in the future.
In all fairness, although Xia Fan did not cheat Lu Chuan when he was an enemy in the past, Lu Chuan still admired this person quite a lot. If he was really willing to submit to himself, Xia Fan would really be happy to accept him and trust him.
It's just that the premise is that Lu Chuan must cut off the ambitions and delusions that he shouldn't have in his heart, and then obediently surrender to himself, and use it for himself from now on, otherwise, Lu Chuan has the ability to lead the army to fight, and he refuses to take refuge in himself wholeheartedly, then Xia Fan will not use him.
