Chapter 575: Husband and wife in distress
readx;? The Soul Sect has been in the status it is today, from the beginning to the end, in addition to Lu Yifan himself, the dead brothers around him naturally also contributed to it. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info The first thing Lu Yifan did after returning to Xihuang Mountain was to spend a month to change the previous sect system, it was a small sect that was precarious before, and it was naturally possible to do things, but now the Soul Sect has become the largest sect in the Holy Domain, and Lu Yifan has become the leader of the Holy Domain, and his subordinates naturally can't be sloppy anymore, after all, a huge sect with more than 30,000 disciples and is still expanding rapidly, Lu Yifan can't do everything himself, according to the advice that Yulou gave him before, Lu Yifan decided to distribute the power of the Soul Sect. He named the four elders of the former four kings of the Soul Sect respectively, namely the 'Sword King' Liu Sandao, the 'Wolf King' Ji Yuan, the 'Gun King' Xie Yun, and the 'Dragon King' Lan Chen. Originally, Lu Yifan only arranged for the four of them, but Zheng Xiaowu, who was far away in the Two Realms Forest to regain the position of the leader of the bandits, suddenly returned with tens of thousands of brothers and was willing to worship under the Soul Sect, in fact, the Two Realms Lin has become extremely sad since he was killed by Zheng Qin once, although he has Mu Dan's blessing, Zheng Xiaowu knows that he will not die well in the long run, so he decided to find a backer for himself and his brothers, Lu Yifan, who is in the limelight, has a good relationship with Zheng Xiaowu, and naturally everyone expects it. Because Zheng Xiaowu had many loyal and brave men, Lu Yifan named Zheng Xiaowu the 'Spirit King' in order to appease these people.
Yin Xi and the other thirteen protectors were also sent to the command of the five kings, and the tens of thousands of disciples of the Soul Sect were all under the jurisdiction of the five kings, as for Lu Yifan, he was at ease, and he was really not very good at running the sect. After the incident of the Fire Tree and Silver Flower, Lu Yifan focused more on cultivation and constantly improved his cultivation, because he knew that the Jinghai Divine Clan would never be willing to know that he was still alive, and now that his identity had been exposed, there would definitely be a constant crisis, and he had already seen how huge the gap between himself and the real Protoss was in the Sumeru Holy Realm, if he didn't make himself stronger, let alone avenge the Immortal Protoss, even if it was difficult to protect himself.
The Soul Sect has obtained a large number of heavenly and earthly treasures from the Five Domains Spirit Banquet, and there are countless exercises and soul methods, Lu Yifan gave all these treasures to the Five Kings and the disciples of the Soul Sect to help them cultivate, with the blessing of so many treasures, the cultivation of Ji Yuan, Lan Chen, Xie Yun and others has improved rapidly, and everyone knows a truth, if you want to gain a foothold in the Soul Sect where the masters are like clouds today, you can't just rely on a good relationship with Lu Yifan, but also rely on your true skills, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the public.
In the past few months, Han Xiao sent secret letters more than once, asking when Lu Yifan planned to make a move against Xuanzong, which showed how urgent the emperor was to exterminate Xuanzong. Lu Yifan also wanted to avenge the Lu family and declare war on Xuanzong, but the Soul Sect had just expanded rapidly and had an unstable foundation, and now was not a good opportunity to make a move. Today's Sanctuary seems to be calm on the surface, but in fact, everyone is in danger.
Spring goes to autumn and it is already a cold winter in the blink of an eye, Lu Yifan plans to go back to Jinling City with Han Ling'er to save his relatives, and he can visit his father-in-law Han Xiao and let Ling'er tell his parents. Second, Lu Yifan wants to go back to Lu's house to see Lu Wencai and Fluttershy, as well as Lu Jun's son. The third is that Lu Yifan promised Vi Jin to help him reunite with Ah Chang's father and daughter, although Vi Jin has now followed Feng Chenghuang back to the Beast Domain, but Lu Yifan still has to inform Ah Chang of the news of Vi Jin, so that she knows that her father is still alive. And at noon the day before the couple left, the Soul Sect suddenly came with two uninvited guests.
At noon, inside the main hall of the Soul Sect.
Lu Yifan explained the affairs of the Soul Sect in detail, because Liu Sandao wanted to go to Jinling City with Lu Yifan and his wife, so Lu Yifan ordered Ji Yuan to preside over the overall situation in his own descendant suzerain, and the other three kings assisted. Ji Yuan said: "The sect master is relieved to go back to Jinling for the New Year, in the past few months, I have been sending people to secretly inquire about the news of Xuanzong, they have not made any moves, and the major sects that were originally attached to Xuanzong have also joined us, and now Xuanzong is falling apart and it is difficult to protect itself, Dongfang Su is now just begging us not to go to him for trouble, it is already burning high incense, how dare you come to us for trouble?" Lu Yifan smiled: "Dongfang Su is scheming, we are careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years." Lu Yifan's words made everyone in the hall nod. After the fire tree and silver flower, with the rapid expansion of the power of the Soul Sect, some extremely subtle changes have also taken place within it, the most obvious of which is that the responsibilities and powers of the five kings of the Soul Sect are getting bigger and bigger, and the opportunities for them to meet each other are far less than before, even if the opportunity to get together with Lu Yifan is much less than before, the Soul Sect is a new upstart in the Holy Domain has to be done one by one, and everything can no longer be messed up by temperament as before, nor can they drink and discuss with Lu Yifan at every turn, over time, the rules and style of action in the Soul Sect are becoming more and more like an old-school sect, once when Lu Yifan was with them, everyone was unrestrained, they all call each other by their names, but now even if there are only two people, Lu Yifan and Ji Yuan, Ji Yuan will respectfully call him the "sect master" in his life, this change is not achieved overnight, but with the passage of time more and more habits. Lu Yifangui is the leader of the Holy Domain and concurrently serves as the leader of the Spirit Domain, ranking fifth in the Five Domains Alliance. In terms of its status today, even if it is compared to Emperor Yanchong, I am afraid that it is only high. Lu Yifan himself doesn't care about these false names, but it doesn't mean that others can ignore them, the whole Soul Sect must be in awe of Lu Yifan, this is a rule that Ji Yuan set on the first day he became the wolf king, and if you want to maintain awe, you must lead by example, not only the disciples, but even the five kings must be like this. At first, Lu Yifan was quite unaccustomed to this, but he couldn't stand the repeated insistence of the five kings and everyone, and it was continued by them after a long time, and now it has naturally become a habit.
And the fundamental reason for all this is actually the exposure of Lu Yifan's true identity. After all, in the face of a true Protoss, mortals in the Five Domains will have awe in their bones. After learning the truth that Lu Yifan is a descendant of the underworld, it is no longer possible to let Ji Yuan, Xie Yun and others talk and laugh with him freely.
Lan Chen thought for a moment and said, "Sect Master is going to Jinling, do you want to see the Emperor?" Lu Yifan nodded and said, "The Emperor has pushed me to be the Sect Master of the Holy Domain, so I should naturally go and thank you." Lan Chen said: "What does the sect master guess the emperor will say to you?" Lu Yifan was stunned when he heard this, and asked rhetorically: "What do you want to tell me?" Lan Chen sneered: "The emperor wants to use our power to eradicate Xuanzong to avenge the rebellion back then, and the sect master will definitely urge you to make a move against Xuanzong." Lu Yifan knew that Lan Chen was complaining about the Emperor in his heart, so he was not in a hurry to express his position and continued to ask: "What about you? Do you want to eradicate Xuanzong?" Lan Chen said: "Thinking about it, I hate to break the corpse of this old dog in Dongfang Su into thousands of pieces and scatter the ashes." Lu Yifan nodded and said, "Then what are you worried about?" Lan Chen looked at Lu Yifan with a complicated expression, and hesitated for a long time before he spoke: "Sect Master, think about the former Lan family and the Lu family, and then think about today's Xuanzong, it's not that I don't want to get rid of Xuanzong quickly, it's just that I'm worried that after Xuanzong, the Soul Sect will become a thorn in the eye of the emperor." ”
Zheng Xiaowu nodded and said: "Yes! When the courtier knows the art of power and scheming best, when he uses us, he will coax us with good words, and when he thinks we are in the way, he will want to cut us with a thousand knives." Zheng Xiaowu's words were indignant, probably because he remembered that his painstaking management in the Two Realms Forest for so many years finally couldn't withstand Zheng Qin's idea. Xie Yun said: "The bird is full of bows and rabbits and dead dogs, and the sect wants to beware of the emperor." Yin Xi, who was sitting behind Xie Yun, laughed disdainfully and said, "What are you afraid of? If the old man dares to play with anything, I, Yin Xi, will go and take his dog's head to honor the sect master." As soon as Yin Xi's words came out, there was laughter in the hall.
Lu Yifan said with a straight face: "Xuanzong caused my Lu family to be wiped out, no matter whether the emperor opens his mouth or not, this account between me and Dongfang Lao'er will be settled with him after the year." As soon as Lu Yifan's words came out, the hall was silent, and Liu Sandao, who was half-leaning on the chair with his feet crossed, squinted at the reaction of everyone in the hall. Ji Yuan got up and arched his hand and said: "I will prepare to arrange it from now on, just wait for the beginning of spring next year to destroy Xuanzong in one fell swoop and take revenge!"
"Exterminate Xuanzong and take revenge!" everyone in the hall stood up and shouted in unison.
"Sect Master, there are people outside the mountain gate asking to see you!"
Suddenly, a disciple guarding the mountain ran to the door of the temple and knelt on the ground to say aloud, Lu Yifan raised his eyebrows, and said, "Who is it?" The disciple who guarded the mountain said: "The one who came is a man and a woman, and the man claims to be Xie Feng, the eldest brother of the Gun King." The woman's name is Su Yingying. ”
"Yingying!" Before the words fell, Xie Yun stood up suddenly with a shocked face, his eyebrows and eyes were full of indescribable complexity. He didn't know how many times he had pronounced these three words in his heart over the years, her smile had already been deeply imprinted in Xie Yun's mind, originally he thought that he had forgotten this relationship, but he didn't expect that when he heard Su Yingying's arrival today, Xie Yun still couldn't help but feel numb. Seeing this, Lu Yifan said, "Please let them in!"
After a while, Xie Feng led Su Yingying and the two into the main hall of the Soul Sect side by side, Xie Feng's face was red and swollen, it looked like there were many new injuries and old wounds, his tired face was covered with beard stubble, and his eyes could no longer see the former spirit, only loneliness and decadence. And Su Yingying is still the lovely appearance of the country and the city, many people in the hall who saw Su Yingying for the first time couldn't help but secretly let out an exclamation, before in their eyes, they thought that the beauty of Han Ling'er and Mu Dan's daughter was already the national beauty and fragrance, but they didn't expect that today they could see a woman who is more outstanding than Han Ling'er and Mu Dan in this world, Su Yingying's beauty is peerless, unparalleled in the world. It's just that her pretty face is full of sadness at the moment. The two of them faltered, and both looked a little tired. Surprisingly, Xie Feng changed his arrogant posture after seeing Lu Yifan, and knelt down with a "poof" as soon as his knees bent, and Su Yingying on the side hurriedly knelt down in the hall when he saw this. Xie Yun subconsciously rushed forward two steps forward to help Su Yingying up, but when he saw Su Yingying's hand gently holding Xie Feng's arm, Xie Yun's heart seemed to fall into a deep pool in an instant, and this pool was all sour vinegar.
Lu Yifan said: "If you have anything to say, you don't have to ......."
"Xie Feng once tried his best to be the enemy of Sect Master Lu, knowing that the sin was deep and it was difficult to die, and asked Sect Master Lu to allow him to kneel and reply. As soon as Xie Feng opened his mouth, he confessed, and everyone in the hall who listened to it was confused. Ji Yuan said: "All the things in the past are just their own masters, you better get up first! Even if you are not afraid of kneeling, Miss Su can't stand it as a weak woman, if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about her." Hearing Ji Yuan's words, Xie Feng suddenly bowed deeply to Lu Yifan and said, "I know that it is shameless to come here today, but I am really forced to be helpless. If Sect Master Lu refuses to save us, we will be killed in the blink of an eye when we leave Xihuang Mountain now. ”
Xie Yun asked in a trembling voice, "Yingying, who is ...... Want to kill you?" This was the first time Xie Yun opened his mouth to talk to Su Yingying after many years of separation, but he hesitated in his heart for a long time in just a few words. Su Yingying raised her eyes to look at Xie Yun, the two of them looked at each other and their hearts trembled, Su Yingying had always felt ashamed of Xie Yun in her heart, bowed her head and whispered: "Xie Feng offended Miss Yufeng because of the matter of the Spirit Banquet in the Five Domains, so Miss Yufeng ordered to hunt us down, and we are desperate now......" Saying that, Su Yingying also glanced at the bruises on Xie Feng's face with distressed eyes.
Xie Feng said: "Please take us in regardless of the villain." ”
"Hmph!" Lan Chen snorted coldly and said, "Villain who eats inside and out, why do we care if you live or die?" What do we have to do with you whether you die or not?" Liu Sandao laughed playfully: "Since you have become Yufeng's dog, you should have expected such a day." ”
"I know you hate me......" Xie Feng said in despair, "You can not save me, but I beg you to save Yingying, as long as you are willing to take her in Xihuang Mountain for refuge, it doesn't matter if I go down the mountain now......" Saying that, Xie Feng knocked his head towards Lu Yifan one after another like garlic, and kept begging in his mouth, "Please ask Sect Master Lu to save Yingying, all the mistakes are my Xie Feng's fault, Yingying is innocent, she shouldn't bear these ...... with me" Xie Feng kowtowed for a long time but never heard Lu Yifan's response, then suddenly turned around and kowtowed to Xie Feng, and said in a loud voice: "Second brother, you can't watch Ying Ying die, don't you? You have always liked Ying Ying, don't you? I beg you to save Ying Ying, the eldest brother deserves to die no matter how he takes the blame, I beg you to save Ying Ying......" Looking at Xie Feng, who knocked the blood on his head, Xie Yun's eyes were already full of tears.
Su Yingying exerted all her strength to hold Xie Feng, and cried: "Brother Feng, Yingying is willing to live and die with you, if you have something, I will never live alone! Don't beg them anymore, let's go......" The blood and tears on Xie Feng's face were mixed together, he hugged Su Yingying's delicate body, and cried silently: "Yingying, now only Xihuang Mountain can save you, I won't let you die with me, I will go and ask Sect Master Lu again...... If Sect Master Lu doesn't agree, I'll go and ask the second brother again...... If the second brother doesn't agree, I'll kowtow to them one by one and beg them to take you in......"
Looking at this pair of difficult husbands and wives, Lu Yifan couldn't help but set his eyes on Xie Yun. Xie Yun was already crying silently, the more Xie Feng and Su Yingying showed that life and death depended on each other, the more painful his heart became, out of revenge for snatching love with a knife, Xie Yun wished that Xie Feng would not die well to have pleasure, but Xie Feng was his own eldest brother, and no matter how big the grudge was, it could not withstand the brotherhood that blood was thicker than water. If they were left to watch Xie Feng and Su Yingying love Xie Yun all day long, they would definitely be in pain, but if they were not left behind, they were brutally killed by Yufeng's people, Xie Yun really couldn't bear it.
Liu Sandao turned his inquiring gaze to Lu Yifan, but seeing that Lu Yifan was quietly waiting for Xie Yun's attitude, Liu Sandao understood and then deliberately ordered: "Liu Meng, beat them out for me!"
"Don't!" Finally, under Liu Sandao's "urging", Xie Yun's hesitant heart finally slammed abruptly, turned around and knelt down in front of Lu Yifan, begging bitterly: "Sect Master, please look at my affection...... Let's leave the two of them for the time being......" When Xie Yun finished the last word, his heart was already dead.
"Xie Yun, you want to repay your grievances with virtue, but I think your eldest brother can't change ****!" Lan Chen said coldly, "If you like Su Yingying, leave her behind, as for Xie Feng, forget it!"
"Sect Master!" Xie Yun set his eyes on Lu Yifan with hope.
Lu Yifan sighed lightly and said with a wry smile: "Their life and death do not lie with me, but with you." Since you want to keep them, leave them. Fifth master, the people who chased and killed them under the mountain will be handed over to you. Zheng Xiaowu happily received the order and led people down the mountain. Lu Yifan looked at Xie Feng, who was crying bitterly because of the rest of his life after the catastrophe, and said lightly: "Xie Yun will arrange the rest for you, you go and rest first!" Xie Feng thanked Dade for bowing to Lu Yifan again and again, and finally was supported by Luo Xiu and others.
Xie Yun had been silently watching Xie Feng and Su Yingying help each other out of the hall, Lu Yifan saw it in his eyes but didn't know how to persuade him, and finally could only sigh lightly and disappear into the hall in a flash.
