Chapter 723: Preemptive Strike
"What are you talking about?" Hearing Shan Chengji's words, Ling Tian was stunned for a moment, and then thoughtfully stretched out his hand to help Shan Chengji up, and asked with a straight face, "What you just said is Lu Yifan, who killed Su Xie?"
"Who else could it be if it wasn't him?" "Lu Yifan has now secretly joined forces with Qiu Lao, and they not only killed Dongfang Su but also ...... Also ......" Silence Cheng Jiyan hid his face again and cried bitterly, choked up, "And also cut off the head of my son Hongshan......"
"What?" This time it was Ling Tian's turn and he couldn't sit still, he stood up suddenly, his brows furrowed and staring at the heartbroken Shen Chengji, although he was full of doubts in his heart at the moment, he still quickly calmed down his complicated state of mind, and asked in an orderly voice, "You said that Dongfang is dead?"
"Dongfang Su and the three ancestors of Xuanzong, as well as the Dragon Marquis, are all dead. 'Le '' Wen '''." Silence Chengji nodded and said, "Seven days ago, someone saw Longhou and the housekeeper in the mansion Silence Kang together, and then Lu Yifan led people to the Longgeng Inn to ask Silence Kang, wanting to find out the whereabouts of Dongfang Su. At that time, the three ancestors of Xuanzong were in the inn, and they killed Shankang at the last moment, which failed to let Shankang leak the secret. But he didn't expect that Liu Sandao secretly followed the three ancestors of Xuanzong all the way to the outside of the Qilin Mansion, so the news that Dongfang Su was hiding in the Qilin Mansion also reached Lu Yifan's ears. ”
"I already knew that when the Lonely Sea brought Dongfang Su back, it would become a disaster sooner or later. Ling Tian frowned, and said coldly, "What happens after that, how did Lu Yifan collude with Qiu Lone?"
"At that time, Qiu Lonely was in the Longgeng Inn. Lonely Chengji replied, "Although he himself said that all this was just a coincidence, I think Qiu Lao should have heard about Lu Yifan's pursuit of Dongfang Su, so at that time, Lu Yifan was found out by Qiu Lao as soon as he entered Panlong City, and the subsequent encounter at the Long Geng Inn should also be Qiu Lone's intention." ”
Ling Tian nodded and said, "With Qiu Lone's power in Panlong City, it is indeed easy to find out Lu Yifan's whereabouts. ”
Lonely Chengji said: "The day after Lonely Kang's death, Qiu Lao brought Liu Sandao and Qi Yulou to Qilin Mansion to ask for people, but at that time, Qiu Lao didn't dare to come because of the majesty of the patriarch, and finally just ordered Dongfang Su to be placed under house arrest, but he didn't embarrass them on the spot. When he said this, he couldn't help but sigh, and said, "I can only hate this Dongfang Su for being clever, and left the Qilin Mansion with Longhou and the three ancestors of Xuanzong that night, during which I repeatedly dissuaded but he refused. And after that...... Dongfang Su and they died tragically in a private house only a few hundred meters away from Qilin Mansion. The corpse was burned to black coal, which was sent back by Qiu Lone. ”
"Can you see Lu Yifan with your own eyes?" Ling Tian pondered Lin Chengji's words and asked, "Seeing with your own eyes that it was Lu Yifan who killed Dongfang Su and them?"
"Not really. Lonely Chengji shook his head and said, and then changed his words, "But I once bought the Qiu Lone personal soldier who came to deliver the corpse, and he told me that it was not Qiu Lone who did the action against Dongfang Su that night, but someone else. The patriarch might as well think about it, Dongfang Su and the three ancestors of Xuanzong are all masters of the Soul Yuan realm, what kind of master can put them all to death overnight? Even if there are other masters in Panlong City who can kill them, but the most important thing is that they have no grudge against Dongfang Su? There is such a deep hatred and hatred, and there is also a person who can use this kind of means, except for Lu Yifan, I really can't think of a second one in this Panlong City. ”
Listening to Shan Chengji's analysis, Shan Ling Tian nodded slowly, and said, "It makes sense, since you have seen Liu Sandao and Qi Yulou with your own eyes, then it is true that Lu Yifan and Ten ** came to Panlong City." And what's going on with Hongshan?"
"Before, the sect leader sent a message saying that he had sent Lonely Canghai to Panlong City with a birthday gift in advance, but I haven't seen any trace of him for a long time, so I expect that this matter is eighty percent related to Lu Yifan and Qiu Lone. Shan Chengji was heartbroken, and said angrily, "I think their real target is the patriarch, so I sent Hongshan out of the city to send a letter to the patriarch, warning the patriarch not to come to Panlong City to take risks." But Hongshan went out at noon, and his head was sent back in the evening......"
"How can this be reasonable!" Hearing this, Ling Tian couldn't help but feel angry in his heart, and said coldly, "Lu Yifan and Qiu Lonely are too desperate to do things like this, right?"
"Not only that, but I haven't seen the sea so far. Seeing that Ling Tian was angry, Cheng Ji subconsciously added fuel and vinegar, "I sent someone to secretly investigate, it is said that the sea of silence has entered Panlong City before, but then the world has evaporated inexplicably. I think the ** of the ten has been unexpected. ”
Shan Ling Tian looked at Shan Chengji with complicated eyes, and after a long time, he sighed softly, helped Shan Chengji to sit down together, and said lightly: "Chengji, Hongshan's nephew's matter has made you suffer. ”
"If my son dies for the patriarch and dies for the Qilin clan, he should have no regrets. Lonely Chengji hurriedly said, "But the most hateful thing is that Qiu Lonely and Lu Yifan would be so despicable and shameless, and they specially made these indiscriminate methods bully." Patriarch, the people who once harmed Lu Yifan were Dongfang Su and Su Xie, we are just helping indirectly, why is he Lu Yifan so aggressive?
Silence Chengji's words made Silence Ling Tian shake his head solemnly, and muttered as if to himself: "Although the grievances between us and Lu Yifan are not as good as those between Su Xie and Dongfang Su, after all, we have also sent people to kill the disciples of the Soul Sect. As for what kind of person Lu Yifan is, I, like you, have only heard of it but haven't really seen it. But listening to what you just said about Dongfang Su and Hongshan's nephew, I think this Lu Yifan should be different from the legendary love and righteousness, Bacheng is a cold-blooded and ruthless person. ”
"Sect Master, Lu Yifan is a bad guy now, the people who participated in dealing with him at the beginning are far more than us, there are also the Three Holy Mountains of the Spirit Domain and the Donghua Palace of the Immortal Domain, now they all avoid Lu Yifan, they are all waiting for the Jinghai Divine Clan to solve this big trouble, why do we have to touch this bad head?" Shan Chengji hurriedly said, "Although I have hatred in my heart for the matter of my son Hongshan, I will never delay the overall situation of the Qilin Clan because of personal enmity. So the patriarch doesn't have to be an enmity with this Lu Yifan, so he still leaves early. ”
Ling Tian stroked his beard lightly and asked, "Do you want me to show weakness to Lu Yifan?"
"It's not a show of weakness, but a gentleman doesn't fight with villains. Silence Chengji shook his head and said, "The current Lu Yifan is a madman who kills people and ghosts, and I think he should also know that he is about to die, so he is frantically looking for someone to bury him now." The patriarch is a noble person, why bother to fight a madman?"
Ling Tian shook his head with a smile and said, "You think he is a madman, so why does Qiu Lonely still cooperate with a madman?
"Qiu Lone's move is a risky move, I think he will be destroyed in the hands of Lu Yifan sooner or later. Silence speculated.
Lin Ling Tian nodded lightly, reached out and took a sip of the teacup on the table, and said unhurriedly: "Since you know that Lu Yifan is now a madman who kills people without blinking, then he has already arrived in the Beast Domain, how can he easily give up and leave? At that time, the world will not think about whether Lu Yifan is crazy or not, they will only think about one thing, that is, I, the Beast Domain Sect Master, are afraid of Lu Yifan, and even be frightened by Lu Yifan, so frightened that as soon as I heard that he was in Panlong City, I quickly grabbed my tail and hugged my head. ”
Shi Chengji said anxiously: "Why does the patriarch care about the eyes of outsiders?
"How do you know that I must not be Lu Yifan's opponent?" Ling Tian frowned, and asked suspiciously, "You haven't even seen Lu Yifan's face, how come you have already been frightened by him? Is it because he killed Dongfang Su? Killed Hongshan's nephew? Do you think that this sect leader is as vulnerable as Dongfang Su and them?"
"Of course not!" Silence Chengji heard a little displeasure in Silence Lingtian's tone, and hurriedly admitted his mistake, "Of course I know that Lu Yifan is by no means the opponent of the patriarch, I just heard that when Lu Yifan killed Su Evil, even the Protoss couldn't do anything about him......
"Chengji, you just like hearsay too much. Silence Ling Tian interrupted, "You should actually believe what you see with your own eyes rather than hearing about it. ”
Silence Chengji paused, looked at Silence Ling Tian in a daze, and after a long time, he nodded with a lonely expression and said, "What the patriarch taught is this." ”
"Now that I have come, and the vigour, I will not go, and I cannot go. Ling Tian shook his head to himself and said, "If I leave, the Qilin Clan will never be able to raise its head." ”
"But I'm afraid that Lu Yifan and Qiu Lone will be detrimental to the patriarch......" Silence Chengji suddenly saw Shan Lingtian's gaze in the middle of speaking, so he hurriedly added, "I mean that open guns are easy to dodge and dark arrows are difficult to defend, I am afraid that they will use despicable means in secret." ”
Ling Tian smiled faintly: "Tomorrow is the thousand-year-old birthday of the emperor, the masters in the imperial city are like clouds, and when the banquet opens, it will be the time when everyone's defense is the most loose, if Lu Yifan really wants to be unfavorable to me, then tomorrow is the perfect opportunity." Because tomorrow, those masters in the Imperial City who are responsible for protecting the ministers will become accomplices against the sect leader in the blink of an eye. Since Qiu Lao dares to secretly communicate with Lu Yifan, then he must have the entire Taigupan Dragon Clan behind him to support him, and at that time, Qiu Lao can justifiably correct all the Rakshasa Sect masters I accompanied in the name of deliberately disadvantageous to the emperor. Therefore, if you start in advance, Qiu Lao and the Taigu Pan Dragon Clan can't find an excuse to help Lu Yifan, and Lu Yifan is not a fool, he will never come to fight with me alone. Although I don't know what benefits Qiu Lone promised Lu Yifan to cooperate with him, my benefit must not be worth Lu Yifan's life. ”
"It's okay to do it today, or it's okay to do it tomorrow. What's the difference?" asked Shan Chengji puzzled, "Now that most of the masters of the Rakshasa Gate and the Qilin Clan are turned away from the city gate, as long as the patriarch is in Panlong City, it won't all be the same one day?"
"Of course it's different!" Ling Tian suddenly smiled and said faintly, "They won't do anything to me today, but I can do it to them first." ”
"What?" Shan Chengji was so frightened that he almost slipped off his chair, his eyes looked at Shan Ling Tian with a sneer on his face, and asked, "Patriarch wants to strike first......?"
"Instead of sitting back and waiting, it's better to strike first. Ling Tian nodded, "The best defense is to attack, this is the eternal truth. ”
"The patriarch wants to deal with Qiu Luo and Lu Yifan......? It is necessary to be cautious in this matter. Silence Chengji said with a complicated face, "Besides, this is also Panlong City, the territory of the Taigu Panlong Clan, the patriarch is here to make a move against Qiu Lone, isn't it asking for hardship?" And once the news of the patriarch's action spreads, then the emperor can really justifiably order the patriarch to be killed......
"First, I didn't say that I was going to make a move on Qiu Lone, and I didn't think about provoking Taigu Panlong in Panlong City. Ling Tian's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said faintly, "Second, I have never said that I would personally take action, so that even if something happens, the Emperor will track down the sect master, and there is a way to retreat, I miss my status and the Qilin Clan, and the Emperor will not want to be our enemy." ”
"What does the patriarch mean ......"
"Do you know that the elders and disciples of the Rakshasa Sect that I brought into the city this time are all first-class masters in the sect?" Silent Chengji nodded silently, but did not answer. Shanling Tian said again: "Then do you know that among these two elders, there is one person who is the number one master in the Phoenix Clan at the moment, Feng Yan Ming?"
Hearing this, a terrible thought suddenly flashed in his mind, and he suddenly realized: "The sect leader wants Feng Yanming to kill Lu Yifan, and then arouse the Phoenix Clan's hatred of Lu Yifan, and then our Qilin Clan joins hands with the Phoenix Clan to help each other in the same boat, so if the Taigu Panlong wants to deal with us, we will have to weigh it again......"
"Not only Feng Yanming, but also another Rakshasa Sect elder from the Qilin Clan, Shan Yanchang, as well as two Nine Transformation Soul Emperors, five Eight Transformation Soul Emperors, three Seven Transformation Soul Emperors, twelve people went together. There was a hint of coldness in Ling Tian's eyes, "Feng Yanming is definitely not Lu Yifan's opponent today, everyone knows about this." If only Feng Yan is sent to the Underworld, then it is inevitable that some people will doubt the intentions of the sect master. I sent twelve masters of the Rakshasa Gate to deal with Lu Yifan together, there is no chance of winning, if they can successfully solve Lu Yifan, they are all happy, if not, even if the matter is not revealed, the sect leader will publicize it, I want everyone in the beast domain to know that Lu Yifan, the enemy who once killed the former sect leader Feng Chenghuang, is in Panlong City, I want to let Qiu Luo and the Taigu Panlong clan even if they can join forces with Lu Yifan, they will not dare to join forces with him again. ”
"Isn't the sect leader afraid that the emperor will be one step ahead of us?" asked Shanchengji worriedly.
"No, because the Emperor can't find a reasonable excuse. "Silent Ling Tiandao, "We have a grudge against Lu Yifan, even if I order someone to deal with Lu Yifan, it is reasonable to understand each other's grievances." As long as it wasn't against the Taigupan Dragon Clan, the Emperor couldn't find a reason to ask the sect leader for his guilt. What's more, tonight I ordered someone to do something to Lu Yifan, tomorrow is the emperor's thousand-year-old birthday, and it is the best time to announce the world. After a few hours, they cut through the mess with a quick knife, and even if they wanted to recalculate, it was too late. ”
"A good preemptive move. Silence Chengji complimented, "The patriarch is worthy of being the leader of the Beast Domain, and as soon as he comes, he can tilt the situation in Panlong City that seems to have taken shape again, Chengji admires!"
"All this that is happening today is quite similar to the time when Su Xie laid a net against Lu Yifan in the Holy Domain Jinling. Silent Ling Tian muttered to himself with a deep gaze, "He Lu Yifan was able to turn defeat into victory in the doomed defeat that day, and this sect leader can do the same today." With that, the corners of Ling Tian's mouth couldn't help but raise a faint and old sneer.
"Cheng Ji, go and bring me Feng Yanming, Shanyan Chang and ten Rakshasa disciples, and say that the sect leader has an errand for them. ”
