Chapter 1237: In the Miluo Mountains
The events that took place in String City made it impossible for many people to calm down for a short time.
Whether it is the Sword Sect, the Lord of the Sword Sect, or Lin Si's strength, it is enough to become a topic of discussion for many people for a long time.
But there is a place that should not be calm in the eyes of outsiders, but it seems to be very calm at this time.
That place is the Miro Mountains.
The Miro Mountains are located at the junction of the Dry Blue and the Purple Star, separated by mountains that stretch for tens of thousands of miles. And the extremely secret Qianzi Branch, one of the eight branches of the Shifang Building, is located in the depths of this mountain range.
There are not many Heavenly Realm masters in Shifang Tower, but because they rarely operate on the bright side, they have always only done things like espionage and assassination, and they have always been an organization that the major forces in the outside world do not want to provoke.
If the assassins of the Ten Fanglou were organized to form a phalanx and fight head-on with the various sects, then they would not even be able to defeat the sects like Liuli Palace and Qianlei Mansion that ranked six or seven in the mainland.
But they are strong in that they never give the enemy a chance to fight head-on, and it is rare for them to act in groups of more than ten people. In addition, their level of well-informed information can be called the first in the mainland, and if they want to truly eliminate this organization, even the three factions outside the sky can't do it.
If too many fish are left behind, it will only bring endless consequences.
Although the top masters of the Qianzi Division were only a few Realm Breakers, their strength should not be underestimated, and even some forces that knew their location only turned a blind eye to their existence.
With mental calculations or unintentional, it is not difficult for an assassin in the early stage of the Realm Breakthrough to assassinate a cultivator in the late stage of the Realm Break. And if it is planned properly and by chance, it is impossible for the Realm Breaker Assassin to plot against the masters of the Heavenly Realm.
Because of this, although there were occasionally some powerful adventure groups in the Miluo Mountains in the past who entered the mountains to hunt demonic beasts, they were still the 'territory' of the Qianzi Branch.
Except for the seventh-level demonic beast Taigu Thunder Niu and some sixth-level demonic beasts, it is they who have the final say.
But in the last year and a half, they had to rein in, because the Nie River and the Beigu clan had entered here. As a result, this Warcraft Forest with a radius of tens of thousands of miles also changed owners.
Nie He is the person who is suspected by the outside world of being the incarnation of the Blue Wind Fox King, that is the top existence in the Holy Realm, who else dares to provoke him now?
The Beigu clan now has more than thirty Realm Breaking Beings, and the number of people is also four or five thousand, and the overall strength is already above the Qianzi Branch. And fighting in the mountains and forests, even if the methods of the Shifanglou assassins are extremely strange, they still have no advantage in the face of them.
And Nie He also has the help of tens of thousands of demonic beasts from Taigu Lei Niu and Miluo Mountain, not to mention, Nie He himself is from the Qianzi Branch.
He had been in the organization for three years, and he was a well-trained genius. Whether it was the internal situation of the Qianzi branch or the methods of the assassins, he couldn't be more familiar with them.
He can be regarded as the nemesis of the Qianzi Branch, and other sects may not be able to destroy the Qianzi Branch, but if he wants to do it now, it is not difficult at all.
For this reason, on the first day that Nie He entered Miluo Mountain, several leaders of the Qianzi branch took the initiative to come to the door to express their closeness, and even apologized for what happened that year.
For Shifanglou, this kind of soft posture is extremely rare, or even never seen at all. Who can make them give in? They always make others afraid and jealous, right?
But now, unless they take the initiative to seek death, or give up the Qianzi branch and give up the 'assassination business' in the southeast region, they, the 'head snake', can only recognize Nie He's status as a 'cross-river raptor', and then continue to eat under his nose.
If it were replaced by Lin Si and Mu Zheping in the past, it would be very likely to drive away this notorious and dangerous organization, or even eliminate them.
After all, Shifang Lou and the Remnant Nirvana Wandering Spirit and others did something unacceptable to them during the Heavenly Seal Incident.
But now the person in charge is Nie He, and in the face of the 'goodwill' of the Qianzi Branch, he chose to accept it without hesitation.
Moreover, he not only acquiesced in the continued existence of the Qianzi Branch, but also carried out a certain degree of 'cooperation' with this organization.
The Tanie River and Beigu clans can shelter the Qianzi branch and become their backers. But correspondingly, the Qianzi branch will also become their eyes and ears to find out about the outside world, and even the harvest of the Qianzi branch will also need to be handed over as the so-called 'protection fee'.
For Nie He, this decision seemed a matter of course.
When he was with Lin Mu and the others, Nie He almost never cared about things, as if he was living a mess every day, but that didn't mean he was stupid.
On the contrary, he had always been a shrewd man, otherwise he would not have become that cunning genius assassin in the first place.
What kind of role Shifanglou played in the matter of the Heavenly Seal, Nie He himself actually knew it clearly.
But for that kind of thing, he was completely indifferent.
Shifanglou provoked Tang Xiaozhi and Fang Jiayun, for these two people, if it was the right time, Nie He would also come to the rescue at that time, after all, they were acquaintances.
But expecting him to do his best to avenge them afterwards would be a bit of an overwhelm.
He didn't have much hatred for the remnants and the wandering spirits, and he didn't have much hatred for the Qianzi branch that had dominated him and hunted him down.
Because he himself has nothing to lose, he is at most a little unhappy with those people. And after the Qianzi branch took the initiative to bow to him, he actually felt a secret refreshment in his heart.
Yes, he is a monster, and it is difficult for him to give birth to any human friendship in the first place. Even in the years when he stayed by Lin Si's side, he had always maintained a lukewarm and imminent attitude towards those officials, generals, and monks in Mingcheng.
Whether he has someone close to him in his heart, whether he is really regarded as his own person, maybe only he knows.
As for destroying the Shifang Building for the Heavenly Dao and getting rid of a cancer in the Cangluo Continent, he had never had this kind of thought. He himself was an assassin who did not distinguish between good and evil, and even now, he still acts only according to his mood. If he doesn't take the initiative to do evil and provoke others, it is already extremely rare.
No one bothered him now, let alone tried to deal with him.
It is true that many people can guess that there must be something wrong with Nie He's state, after all, in the battle of Zhouxi City, he has not appeared for a long time.
But now, even the Three Great Saint Realms don't want to go to Miluo Mountain to alarm him. Who knows if he will be able to turn back into the Wind Fox King, and once he offends him, he may bring ruin to himself and the sect behind him.
Anyway, he didn't have the Heavenly Seal, and he didn't have the slightest intention of expanding and raging externally, so he just didn't exist.
He already knew a lot of things, the experience of the Wind Fox King back then. The confrontation with the Heavenly Wolf King, the battle of the Holy Mountain thousands of years ago, the battle more than twenty years ago, and the art of incarnation, all these have truly become his own memories.
Compared with the long tens of thousands of years, although the experience of the past few years is colorful, it is too short.
No one knows whether he is now the Wind Fox King or Nie He. If you really want to count it, the ancient thunder cow, a magical beast that has lived for thousands of years, can only be regarded as his descendant......
And now what kind of feelings he has for Lin Si and Mu Zheping, maybe even he can't tell himself.
Of course he knew the news of Lin Si's return, after all, the news of the Qianzi branch was so well-informed. However, he didn't plan to go to him, even though Yu Di, Gu Qing, Lan Lan and the others had asked him more than once.
He is doing well now, he can eat and sleep every day, and no one asks him to fight or perform any tasks, and there is no crisis or danger to force him.
This may be the state he has always dreamed of. After all, he had always been lazy, and he didn't want this peace to be broken. Even sometimes, he would sit alone on the highest treetops for the first time and be stunned.
They now live in the deepest part of the mountain, where they have built many wooden houses, planted vegetables, dug wells and even opened fields.
Many people of the Chatani people live in peace and forth every day at sunrise. No monsters came to attack them, and no one came to disturb them. If it weren't for the fact that they could get news from the outside world from the Qianzi Branch, they would have even been isolated from the world.
Neither Nie He nor Yu Tu Guqing thought about going out to do something again. The people of the North Valley are originally mountain people, and this calm and peaceful life makes them very satisfied.
And Lan Lan never thought about going out to rebuild the Blue Ocean Chamber of Commerce again. After going through too many storms and tribulations, she cherishes this peace of mind. Now she is more focused on her son, who is almost six years old, and teaching Lan Hai to read and read and practice every day seems to have become her greatest pursuit.
The only one who is dissatisfied with this status quo is probably only Lan Lan's younger brother Lan Qi.
Ever since he learned that Nie He was his brother-in-law, he had been holding some inexplicable thoughts. For example, let Nie He take him outside to show his face more, so that those masters and big names know that Young Master Lan Qi is not what he used to be, and he is not easy to mess with.
Every time he fantasizes about that kind of picture, he will feel extremely comfortable and intoxicated.
As for rebuilding the White Wind Country and re-strengthening the Lan family, he really never thought about it.
This kind of thought, even after learning the identity of Nie He's demonic beast, has not changed in the slightest. He didn't think there was anything wrong with his sister marrying a demonic beast, anyway, Nie He had always shown a human form, didn't he? On the contrary, he was excited about Nie He's more powerful and terrifying strength, which meant that his status as a young master Lan Qi could also rise with the tide.
Once you go out, I'm afraid that the princesses of many big countries and the daughters of the big chambers of commerce will take the initiative to get close to you, right?
To be honest, he really wasn't wrong with that.
Now Nie He is not on anyone's side at all, in the face of such an existence above the Holy Realm, who doesn't want to get closer to him?
It's just that who would dare to enter Miluo Mountain to disturb him? After all, no one knows what kind of temper an eighth-level demonic beast has. Moreover, they and Nie He had never known each other before.
If Lan Qi appeared in the outside world at this time, he would probably become a guest of countless huge forces. Even if he can't win over Nie He, just to catch this line, make a good relationship with his face, and make a good fate, it will be worth it for him not to deal with himself in the future.
That was completely different from when Lan Qi was in the Lan Kingdom, Nie He was in the Yue Kingdom camp at that time, and secondly, he was only suspected of the Heavenly Realm at that time, which is like now, he alone may be able to change the outcome of a war......
At this time, Lan Qi's identity as 'Nie He's brother-in-law' has indeed become extremely valuable.
It's a pity that he hasn't been able to get any opportunity to show his identity.
Because of his sister Lan Lan, he didn't let him leave Miluo Mountain at all.
