Huang Ying said: "Are you worried that Shi Ziling will be more difficult to deal with after absorbing the spiritual power of the divine sword?"

Ye Zhenzhen nodded and said: "Yes, in fact, as soon as Shi Ziling walked in today, I felt that his spirit and spirit had changed, and he had an overwhelming aura faintly, which made people unconsciously give birth to a heart of surrender, thinking that it must be because of his great improvement in skill after absorbing the Xuanyuan Divine Sword."

"The speed of this person's progress is too terrifying, now he is equivalent to having a Xuanyuan Divine Sword in his hand anytime and anywhere, and any attack in his hand is afraid that it will have a special amplification effect, and although we have retrieved the Xuanyuan Sword, we are no longer spiritual. Under the circumstances of this situation, even I am not sure whether Master will be able to cope with it. ”

Huang Ying knew that Ye Zhenzhen's words were not alarmist, and she couldn't help but be a little worried. However, the two of them knew the temper of Aunt Gongsun very well, and in their opinion, the conflict between the master and Shi Ziling was inevitable......

In the castle guard mansion of Mijing City, the largest city in the Western Regions, Li Yan, the lord of the city guard, and Li Zhunzheng, the third brother, stood respectfully on both sides of the inner hall, and under them stood Li Xiaoyao and some backbone hall masters of the Tongtian Sect, and sitting in the center was Li Yuan, the leader of the Tongtian Sect.

Li Yuangang had just returned from the east, and although his injuries were no longer serious, he still looked unpleasant and indifferent, and at this moment he was listening to the reports of his subordinates on the dynamics of the northwest border.

Li Zhun, the commander of the Blue Wolf Legion, said: "Big brother, the elite division in my legion and the elite in the second brother Grizzly Legion have been assembled, just wait for the eldest brother to give an order, we can send troops to attack Xiahou Feiyang's Yanyun Legion." ”

Li Yuan asked lightly, "How are you recovering from your injuries?"

Li Zhun said: "I have long recovered as before, if it wasn't for the fact that I was shocked by Shi Ziling and injured my meridians last time, how could I lose to Xiahou Feiyang, a junior?

Hearing Shi Ziling's name, Li Yuan's face twitched slightly, this time he traveled thousands of miles to the east to take advantage of the fire to rob, who knew that he was seen through by Shi Ziling early, and as a result, after a vicious fight with Shi Ziling's Xuanyuan Divine Sword, he was defeated again and had to return home.

What worries Li Yuan the most is that Shi Ziling still has the strength to use the Xuanyuan Divine Sword when he has run out of oil and the lamp is dry, and soon shows signs of recovery, which makes him very surprised and worried, and deeply regrets that he did not bring the Heaven Turning Seal with him this time, so that he missed the good opportunity to eradicate this henchman in one fell swoop.

Seeing that Li Yuan was silent, Li Yan said: "Big brother, according to the information we have obtained, although Xiahou Yuan has recovered after being defeated by Bai Wuya, his self-confidence has not fully recovered. Although the Xiahou family had a slight advantage in the previous period, it was just that we took the initiative to take the defensive. ”

"Now that our men and horses have all been reorganized and deployed, and the Xiahou family and the Shura Mansion have also fallen out, it is a good opportunity for us to attack with all our might. As long as the eldest brother can personally supervise the formation and control Xiahou Yuan, no matter how fast Xiahou Feiyang progresses, it is not a matter of worry, and the third brother alone is enough to deal with him. ”

"As for the army, although the iron cavalry of the Yanyun Legion is strong, the hook formation of our two legions of Blue Wolf and Grizzly Bear has also been trained, and we will definitely be able to break their iron cavalry when the time comes. Now we only need to wait for the big brother to give the order, and we can attack the north in a big way. ”

These backbone generals of the Tongtian Sect in the inner hall were all eager to try, and everyone was very confident in defeating the Northern Army in one fell swoop.

Li Yuan glanced at the people around him and said coldly, "I know what to do." But I'm going to retreat for a month, and you can hold back for the time being, and then make a decision when I'm out of the country. ”

Everyone was very surprised when they heard this, for this general attack, the Western Regions have been preparing for a long time, and now everything is ready, who knows that Li Yuan has to wait for another month.

Li Yan said: "Big brother, the fighter plane is fleeting, and we are all ready, why wait another month?"

Li Yuan said expressionlessly: "Because I'm not ready yet." ”

Li Yan, Li Zhun and the others looked at each other, not knowing what Li Yuan meant by this.

Li Xiaoyao asked, "With my father's strength, why do we need to prepare to deal with a mere Xiahou Yuan? Could it be that the Xiahou family has other strong reinforcements?"

Li Yuan said coldly: "What do you know, once the war in the northwest starts, I am afraid that there will be a chain reaction in the entire Mingyue Continent, and once the Xiahou family is defeated, it will inevitably unite with several other major families to join forces against us." ”

"If we don't fight this time, once we start fighting, we will inevitably fall into a long-term fierce battle, and I am afraid that many top masters in the world will join the melee, and it is not as simple as dealing with a Xiahou Yuan. ”

"This time I went to the east, but I was unexpectedly frustrated by the Xuanyuan Divine Sword of Shiziling, and I was only a little short of getting rid of this henchman, alas, I need to retreat and adjust myself. You should accumulate more food, grass and ordnance, so that the whole army can prepare for a long and bitter battle. ”

Li Yuan had just come back, and no one knew the news of his fight with Shi Ziling again, and everyone was taken aback when they heard it. Li Zhun was surprised: "How can there be a Xuanyuan Divine Sword in Shiziling? Isn't that the treasure of Caiyun Xuan's Gongsun Aunt?"

Li Yuan said angrily: "Shi Ziling, this kid is too clever, he saw through it early that I was going to be unfavorable to him, and he actually snatched Ye Zhenzhen's Xuanyuan Sword to deal with me." Alas, it would be nice if I had brought the Heaven Turning Seal with me this time! Let this kid escape again, what a fucking evil sect! Shi Ziling now has the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand, and it will be even more difficult to deal with him in the future!"

At this moment, a subordinate sent a flying pigeon biography and handed it to Li Xiaoyao, Li Xiaoyao was surprised after seeing it: "Father, according to the latest news I just received, Shi Ziling has returned the Xuanyuan Divine Sword to Caiyunxuan!"

"What?"

Li Yuan couldn't help but stand up and asked hurriedly, "You said that Shi Ziling has returned the Xuanyuan Divine Sword to Caiyun Xuan? When is this news? Why don't I know anything about it?"

Li Xiaoyao said: "This is the latest news sent back by our spy Feige Chuanchuan stationed in the east, saying that as soon as Shi Ziling returned to Songhu City, he exchanged the Xuanyuan Sword to Ye Zhenzhen, hoping to reconcile with Caiyun Xuan. The spies who found out the news were the internal responses we sent in the Duanmu family in Tongle Fang, and there should be no mistake. ”

"This is strange! Shi Ziling, this kid actually gave up an artifact like the Xuanyuan Divine Sword? Could he really be a fool?"

Li Yuan paced back and forth in the inner hall, muttering to himself.

Li Xiaoyao said: "Shi Ziling shouldn't want to offend Aunt Gongsun of Caiyun Xuanxuan, anyway, he has already won the battle against Ye Zhenzhen, and escaped in the hands of his father, and returning the sword to Ye Zhenzhen is also to avoid falling out with Aunt Gongsun." ”

Li Yuan shook his head and said, "No, it must not be like this." As far as I know, Aunt Gongsun is quite competitive, and Caiyunxuan's disciples have been repeatedly frustrated by Shi Ziling, and Aunt Gongsun is only afraid that sooner or later she will have to fight with Shi Ziling. Not to mention that Shi Ziling's snatching of Ye Zhenzhen's divine sword had greatly offended Caiyun Xuan, even if there was no such thing, it would be difficult for them to get along with each other. ”

Li Yan asked: "According to what the eldest brother said, sooner or later there will be a fierce battle between Shi Ziling and Gongsun Auntie, so wouldn't it be stupid for him to return the Xuanyuan Divine Sword to Ye Zhenzhen?"

Li Yuan frowned and said, "That's why I said that there must be something strange in this, and this kid Shi Ziling shouldn't be so stupid." ”

Li Zhundao: "Maybe Shi Ziling thinks that the Xuanyuan Divine Sword is in vain, and he can win against Gongsun Auntie even if he doesn't have the Divine Sword in his hand." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was a little disapproving, Xuanyuan Divine Sword was one of the three major artifacts, and Wei Zhenyu had been in it for many years, how could it be in vain, not to mention that Li Yuan had just returned from the hands of Xuanyuan Divine Sword. And although Shi Ziling is extraordinary, it is unbelievable to say that he can win against Gongsun Auntie without a divine sword in his hand.

Li Yuan was shocked, he glared at Li Zhun fiercely, seeing that Li Zhun was a little frightened, and suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing.

Although Li Yuan never believed that Shi Ziling could win against Gongsun Auntie without the Xuanyuan Divine Sword, he was still quite uneasy to hear Li Zhun say this. It's just that he couldn't understand why Shi Ziling wanted to give up such a precious artifact, but he had an extra worry in his heart......

And on Shangqing Mountain, Yuan Shi Tianzun was also listening to his eldest disciple Guangxu Dao Chang report the details of Ye Zhenzhen's battle with Shi Ziling, when he heard that Shi Ziling not only defeated Ye Zhenzhen, but also borrowed the Xuanyuan Divine Sword, Yuan Shi Tianzun's face couldn't help but change color slightly.

Yuan Shi Tianzun asked, "Are you sure the news is reliable? Shi Ziling really defeated Ye Zhenzhen, who was holding the Xuanyuan Divine Sword, unscathed, and borrowed the Xuanyuan Divine Sword?"

The Guangxu Daoist bowed down and said, "We have lay disciples watching the battle at the scene of the Goddess Cliff, and we can see what happened at that time clearly. Although Ye Zhenzhen's Xuanyuan Divine Sword was amazingly powerful, it was still defeated by Shi Ziling's True Fire Crystal Ring. And Ye Zhenzhen was seriously overdrawn and fainted on the spot, and then Shi Ziling took the Xuanyuan Divine Sword away after healing Ye Zhenzhen's injuries. ”

Yuan Shi Tianzun muttered: "Based on my observation of Shi Ziling last time, although he can barely catch Ye Zhenzhen's divine sword attack, he should not have much chance of winning, even if he wins in an upset, he will definitely be hit hard by this." But according to the news you got, Shi Ziling not only won, but it seems that he still has the strength to spare, and he can also heal Ye Zhenzhen's injuries, is this really strange?"

Guangxu Dao said: "Master, the disciple has seen Shi Ziling's skills, it is indeed extraordinary, and it is reasonable that he can win against Ye Zhenzhen." ”

Yuan Shi Tianzun shook his head slightly and said: "Otherwise, Ye Zhenzhen I have seen, although she is not as good as Shi Ziling, she is already the most outstanding figure in the younger generation, she has the Xuanyuan Divine Sword in her hand, even I dare not underestimate the enemy." And judging from Shi Ziling's last confrontation with me, he really won a little too easily this time, isn't it ......?"
