For the next three days, Xiao Cong went to the foot of the holy mountain every day to spend time with that man. He sat cross-legged at the entrance of the tunnel, supervising and cultivating, this consumption was a whole day, waiting at sunrise and returning at sunset, that person had been waiting in the fortifications of the magic circle as Xiao Cong had done when he first saw it, except for sighing at sunset, there seemed to be no other emotional performance.

He was calm, as if he had noticed Xiao Cong's existence, and as if he had not yet noticed Xiao Cong's existence, but he didn't make any moves, the more calm he was, the more Xiao Cong felt itching, as if the other party's silence was just to tease himself, and finally on the eleventh day, he decided not to be so consumed, he wanted to take the initiative.

It was a fine morning, the poisonous barrier had been dissipated, the weeds seemed to grow to the height of a man's knees in the blink of an eye, the early blooming flowers were hiding in the grass and smiling shyly, the birds were back, the insects were back, even the bees and butterflies were back, they were unbridled and happy in this world, and they kept announcing to each other in their own language and way that summer was coming!

Xiao Cong stood up from the artemisia grass and walked forward unhurriedly, he walked so naturally, not ostentatious or hidden, the rustle of the cloth boots sweeping the blades of grass was a little louder than when the wind blew, "sand, sand, sand......" When Xiao Cong was less than ten steps away from the other party, the man suddenly turned his head and said with a smile of surprise and surprise:

"You're finally here. ”

The tone is natural and kind, and it sounds very pleasant.

Xiao Cong smiled faintly,

"Are you waiting for me?"

"I think it should be, presumably except for Xiao Cong, the fourth young master of the Xiao family, no one will come to this wilderness. ”

"Oh, it seems that Your Excellency is really waiting for the right person, the contemptible person is Xiao Cong, dare to ask Your Excellency?"

"Your surname is Li, you can call me Mr. Li. ”

"Oh. Xiao Cong smiled, "Look at Mr.'s gentle and elegant sitting style, he is really worthy of the word Mr., is there anything wrong with Mr. looking for me?"

"Li was entrusted by someone to talk to the fourth young master. ”

"What?"

"A matter related to the fate of the Xiao family. ”

"It sounds serious, Xiao Cong is afraid that he can't be the master. ”

"The fourth young master is too modest, and the status of the fourth young master in the Xiao family is enough to call the shots. ”

"How so?"

"As we all know, you are the only one who can inherit the position of the patriarch of the Xiao family. ”

"Oh, the future should indeed be discussed with the people of the future, sir. ”

Xiao Cong smiled and nodded.

But Mr. Li said with a straight face:

"My client knows that Ling Zun wants to slash Ye Fangcheng, the master of the Night Mansion Mansion, and he can make this matter happen smoothly, and he should be a courtesy, in order to show his sincerity. ”

"What do you want?"

"Align with each other. ”

"Alliance?"

"Yes, an alliance with the Fourth Young Master. ”

"What's the knot?"

"After Ling Zun returns to the west, the fourth young master is bound to inherit the position of the head of the family, and at the time of the Xuanzhen catastrophe, it is difficult to finish the eggs under the nest, and my client is afraid that he will be lost in the torrent and will not recover, if he can be with Xiao

The four young masters formed an alliance, and they could take care of each other at that time. ”

"Who is your client?"

"Dugu. ”

Xiao Cong couldn't help but feel nervous when he heard this, he was no stranger to the surname Dugu, presumably all the big families in the Xuanzhen world must be extremely familiar with this surname, it was a symbol of the times, and it was an indelible eternity imprinted in people's hearts.

The inheritance sect and family holy land of the Xuanzhen realm can be roughly divided into four parts, Xianwu Xuanzhen, cultivating martial arts and practicing qi, cultivating immortals and forging souls, cultivating Xuanzhen refining tools, cultivating the foundation of all beings, this Dugu family is a sun-like existence among the cultivators in the Xuanzhen realm, and the light is not daring to look directly, but whoever comes from the Dugu family must be an artifact, and it is an uproar in the Xuanzhen monk world, in front of the Dugu family, Zhong Liqiu and his refining sect are probably not even a hair- After all, no matter how powerful Zhong Liqiu is, he is the only one in the entire refining sect at this level, and the Dugu clan is like a god.

Although he was touched in his heart, he still had to pretend to be peaceful and natural on the surface, and even a little disdainful, Xiao Cong smiled,

"Dugu, such a familiar name, but the Dugu who was famous for refining tools back then?"

"Exactly. ”

Xiao Cong smiled again, turned his head to look at the towering and immovable holy mountain in the distance, and after a while, he raised his eyebrows lightly at Mr. Li.

"Haha, Fourth Young Master Xiao is really well-informed, and his knowledge is extraordinary, as far as I know, this is the most outstanding peerless artifact in the history of the Dugu family, the Dugu Nine Swords. ”

"A peerless artifact is still a world-destroying weapon. Xiao Cong secretly sneered in his heart, if he remembered it well, when the master and his old man mentioned this Dugu Nine Swords, they were all afraid of three points.

As soon as Dugu comes out, who will compete with him, slaughter gods and kill immortals, and eternity!

What Mr. Li said is true, this Dugu family seems to be born with Dugu Nine Swords, and if he can make waves against the wind at this juncture, he must not have any good intentions, and there must be demons when things are impermanent, this Dugu family is afraid that he wants to take advantage of the fire to rob Xuanzhen.

In this way, all this makes sense, the Dugu family has already secretly connected many forces, and controlled them all with the Soul Burning Gu, this should be the second time they tried to unite Xiao Cong, the first time was in the slums, the monks who died in the Soul Slaughter Mansion were just the obstacles they made for the alliance of Zizhuyuan, but why did they gather multiple forces to make enemies with the four royal kings? Anyway, only they know the secrets of the holy mountain, and when the time is ripe, they can secretly take the treasure away, so why bother to make extraneous branches and go to great lengths, what is the secret in this?

Seeing that Xiao Cong's face was cloudy and uncertain, and he hesitated, Mr. Li said with a smile:

"If the fourth young master still has any doubts, he can ask him, and he will know everything and say everything. ”

"Fourth Young Master Xiao, although the Dugu family has been hiding from the world for a long time, it is always a famous family, and its strength is on par with the top ten families in the Xuanzhen Realm, not to mention that the alliance between the Xiao family and the Dugu family is not harmful to both, and Ling Zun is now trapped in the heart of the demons, and all kinds of grievances are depressed in his heart,

Fourth Young Master Xiao is a filial son, how can I bear it, no matter whether you agree with the alliance or not, but you still have to accept this thin gift, my client said, I will never coerce you with this matter, just to show sincerity. ”

This knife really poked Xiao Cong's heart, yes, solving Xiao Tianyu's heart knot is the top priority, if it goes on like this, my father is afraid that he will die depressed if he doesn't live to die, if this is the case, how can he feel guilty as a son for a lifetime!

But from another point of view, is this exactly in the hands of Dugu's family?

He was thinking hard in his heart, and he was in a dilemma.

"I'm afraid I'll have to go back and think about this matter, after all, it's not a trivial matter, I'll reply to you tomorrow?"

"Xiao Sigongzi doesn't have to, I'm just a messenger, you can't talk about anything to me and don't reply, tomorrow you can come here with Ling Zun to continue to cultivate the formation, as for the alliance, you just have such a thing in your heart." ”

"It's as simple as that?"

"Yes, it's as simple as that. ”

"Well, it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, there is Mr. Lao Li. ”

"What did Fourth Young Master Xiao say, I was entrusted by someone, this is just a matter of duty, since the words have arrived, then Li will leave first. ”

Mr. Li bowed to Xiao Cong, turned to leave, and Xiao Cong quietly looked at Mr. Li's departing figure, and couldn't help but feel a little strange in his heart.

Fang Cai was still trying his best to persuade himself to promote the alliance, why did he become a rumor again? Just to lower his profile, can he have a good impression of the Dugu family?

Xiao Cong slowly turned his head, slowly walked towards the entrance of the tunnel, walked more than a dozen steps, and then turned his head to look at the towering holy mountain, his handsome little face was quiet and natural, and then, a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, slowly turned his head, and continued to walk back.
