Chapter 18: The Mysterious Tomb
In the room, Xing Yan sat slightly embarrassed, although he was here to help Liu Yue'er, and he couldn't sit idly by today's affairs, but no matter what, Feng Ye's serious injury was caused by him alone, but Liu Zhai kept him in the name of the head of the Liu family, Xing Yan knew that not only could he only protect him for a while, but also brought unexpected trouble to the Liu family.
"If Senior Liu has anything to say, please say it directly, I, Xingyan, am an understanding person. The young man exhaled, his face was full of seriousness, although he had a little kindness to the Liu family, but there were hundreds of people in the Liu family, this was not something that could be joked about casually.
"Hehe, Xingyan Xiaoyou is happy, and I am also a straightforward person. Liu Zhai smiled, glanced at Xingyan with his eyes containing essence, and said seriously and calmly: "Today, the matter of the Liu family protecting you has reached the ears of the Feng family chief, the Liu Feng family has been at odds for more than ten years, and there are many accumulated contradictions, I am afraid that soon, the Liu family will come to ask for someone." β
"Xingyan Xiaoyou and my Liu family have no contact, but they can save the little girl Yue'er twice, this kindness, I Liu Zhai can never forget, this matter is also because Feng Ye provoked the incident, and you can't come forward to take the blame. β
Speaking of this, Liu Zhai paused slightly, and then frowned: "However, if you don't hand you over, the Liu family may be difficult to protect itself, my Liu Zhai life is upright, it doesn't matter, it can implicate hundreds of people in the family, as the head of a clan, I can't ignore it." β
Xingyan nodded, hesitated slightly, and said, "I understand, but I also ask Senior Liu to arrange a way for me to leave Beiling City." β
"No, I'm not done yet. Liu Zhai waved his hand, signaling to calm the latter, and said: "It's not my wish to hand you over, but the three elders of the Liu family who don't go through the wind are too afraid of death, in fact, even if the two clans start a war, I have the ability to withdraw all the clansmen, but these three old immortals don't agree anyway, plus they are on the same line, as the patriarch, my power is not much greater than theirs." β
A look of astonishment flashed on Xing Yan's face, he never thought that Liu Zhai had the idea of the two clans going to war, but he smiled bitterly in his heart, it was a little worthless to be like this because of himself.
From the former's tone, Xing Yan could tell that Liu Zhai should have some way, so he asked, "What is Senior Liu going to do?"
"The purpose of my coming today is to tell you about my plans, I wonder if you have heard of the Lingyuan Competition?"
"Lingyuan Competition?"
Hearing this, Xing Yan paused, and then shook his head, he had only been in contact with Beiling City for a day, and he hadn't had a chance to understand this kind of thing, but it sounded like it should be a large-scale event, and then connected to the previous conversation between Feng Ye and Liu Yan and others, maybe Liu Yan came to the Liu family this time for this matter.
Seeing Xing Yan's ignorant look, Liu Zhai just smiled and introduced the so-called Lingyuan Competition to him in detail.
The so-called Lingyuan Competition, is the young generation of the North Lingcheng is eligible to participate in the event, including hunting, can be said to be a short experience, opened every three years, the location is selected in the Spirit Beast Mountain Range, each participant must compete in accordance with the regulations, if there is a violation, the punishment must be severe.
It is said that in the Spirit Beast Mountain Range, there is a mountain, and there is a spiritual spring on the top of the mountain, for some reason, it flows out of pure energy for many years, and this energy is extremely pure, because it does not know the specific name, it is called Lingyuan.
Although the spirit element in the spiritual spring is pure, the speed of accumulation is relatively slow, and it will gradually overflow after three years at a time, and there are not many spirit elements overflowing each time, which can only be absorbed by four people.
Since the discovery of the spiritual spring, many forces have tried to compete for it, wanting to take it for themselves, but later, an agreement was reached that this spiritual spring would be regarded as a reward for the spiritual yuan competition, and as long as the top four people in strength ranked in strength, they would be eligible to enjoy the spiritual empowerment.
As long as the Lingyuan Competition is a person from the North Spirit City, you can sign up to participate, a person is limited to one time in a lifetime, as long as the champion wins, the reward is also extremely rich, and its purpose is to cultivate the young leaders of the North Spirit City to become a new generation of strong people.
Of course, it doesn't have to be that only people in Beiling City can participate, there has always been an unwritten rule in the Lingyuan Competition, each family is limited to three people at a time to enter the competition, if the number is missing, you can invite foreign aid, generally speaking, this rule of accepting foreign aid is not helpful for big families, but it is extremely useful in some weak forces.
From Liu Zhai's mouth, Xing Yan learned that the Liu family has almost never invited foreign aid in the past few years, and even this time, Liu Yan came to the Liu family as a foreign aider.
In this regard, Xing Yan was a little puzzled, how can the Liu family say that it is also one of the four major families, with hundreds of clansmen, but it still needs to invite foreign aid, is it possible that among the hundreds of people, except for Liu Yue'er, there is really no significant person? This is too much compared with the Feng family's forces.
Liu Zhai also explained a little, due to the increasing decline of the Liu family, not only strength, but also financial resources have lost five or six tenths, which has led to a lot of backwardness in cultivating talents, and in the face of the Feng family, which is full of everything, of course, it is unattainable.
And this time the Lingyuan Competition has a fatal blow to the Liu family, because the Liu family's results in the Lingyuan Competition have been the bottom for many years, and even some middle forces are stronger than the Liu family, so if the Liu family can't be among the best this time, the position of one of the four major families will not be guaranteed, and many middle forces have been eyeing this position for too long.
As long as the Liu family crosses over, Liu Zhai will not be naΓ―ve to think that a medium-sized family can still be formed, once a big family is defeated in previous years, sometimes overnight, it will be completely annexed, therefore, this time, it is also an extremely important one, and defeat will always leave a stigma.
"After examination, I have confirmed that Liu Yan's injury cannot be healed within a month, so he can't help Yue'er win the championship. β
"I don't know what this has to do with me?" Xing Yan asked slightly, although he understood the so-called Lingyuan Competition, he didn't seem to have anything to do with himself.
Liu Zhai smiled: "I want to give you a foreign aid quota for the Liu family!"
"Give it to me?"
Xing Yan was stunned, this is not a joke, is it even if it is true, but he has only the strength of the sixth stage of the refining body realm, and he has not yet been abused when he enters.
"What I said is true, the first reason, because as long as this way, the Feng family has no way to take you. Opposite Xingyan's surprise, Liu Zhai still had a serious expression.
Hearing the latter sentence, Xing Yan calmed down and asked, "How do you say this?"
Liu Zhai said: "You may not know that the operator of every Lingyuan Competition is the city lord!"
"City Lord?" "City Lord?" For some reason, as soon as Xing Yan heard these two words, he felt a kind of awe in his heart, and what Liu Zhai said in his mouth was naturally the City Lord of Beiling City.
"That's right. Liu Zhai nodded: "Since the city lord attaches great importance to each Lingyuan Competition, so before the competition starts, the safety of every participant has been guaranteed, this guarantee is rare, as long as you are the foreign aid of the Liu family, even if it is the head of the Feng family, he will not dare to do anything to you." β
"I see. "Xingyan had an epiphany, it turned out that the Lingyuan Competition still had the city lord as the backstage, if he participated, I am afraid that he would have passed the gate of the Feng family in a dignified manner, and it would be fine, now his strength is too weak, and what he needs is this life-saving choice.
"What's wrong?" Looking at Xingyan who was contemplative in front of him, Liu Zhai tried to ask, but he already felt in his heart that the latter was gradually trying to accept.
"Nope. Xing Yan shook his head with a smile, but he was still a little worried: "Senior Liu also said that this Lingyuan Competition will have a fatal blow, if you can't help Miss Yue'er get the top or top position, your Liu family will ...... Quitting the four major families, so I don't think my strength can help much. β
"Huh. Liu Zhai arched his hand and said with a light smile: "If you really want to destroy my Liu family, I have no choice, besides, Feng Ye is one of the important figures in this competition, since you can defeat him, you can naturally give it a try, besides, you are not the only foreign aid." β
"Did the senior mean that there were others?" Xingyan asked.
"Yes, that's good. Speaking of this, Liu Zhai had a little more confidence on his face, and said slowly: "There is one more person besides you, that is Liu Yan's eldest brother, the Liu family in the outer city, the son of the Great Elder!"
"It seems that Senior Liu is not unprepared this time. Xing Yan smiled slowly.
Since this time it seriously threatens the position of one of the four major families of the Liu family, Liu Zhai Ruozhen does not have the slightest countermeasure, it seems that he really shouldn't, and the person who can make him seem to pay attention to is naturally much stronger than Liu Yan.
Liu Yan is now at the peak of the ninth stage of the Body Refining Realm, if his eldest brother is even stronger than him, I believe that he has completely entered the spiritual realm of that person, and in that realm that can control spiritual power, what is the body refining realm? That is the real duel.
"It's about the safety of the Liu family, and I can only do my best. β
Xing Yan asked, "How long is there until the Spirit Yuan Competition?"
This is also a problem that Xing Yan is worried about, if it is imminent, even if Xing Yan participates, it may not seem easy, so he still needs a period of cultivation now.
"A whole month!" Liu Zhai said calmly.
"Maybe it's a little bit more likely. Xingyan breathed a sigh of relief and muttered, a month may be considered far by others to be enough, but it should be enough for him.
"Have you figured it out?" said Liu Zhai.
"Since Senior Liu is not afraid of me holding back, what am I afraid of?" Immediately, Xing Yan nodded and smiled lightly, he was not a fool, after hearing that the top four could enjoy the Lingyuan empowerment, his heart had already burned.
"Okay, I'll help you with the rest of the work, you just need to cultivate quietly. Liu Zhai said with a smile.
"There is Lao Liu's senior. β
"What did you say, we haven't had time to repay your kindness for saving Yue'er, and I will bring you the trouble of killing, I am quite ashamed. Liu Zhai said humbly.
Xing Yan shook his head, not caring too much, but thinking about it, he seemed to think of something, looked at Liu Zhai who was smiling kindly, and suddenly asked, "The senior just said that it was the first reason for me to participate, so what is the second reason?"
Hearing this, Liu Zhai's face stiffened, and the smile on his face also passed quickly at this time, replaced by a kind of solemnity, and after a moment of silence, he said in a condensed voice: "The second reason is that after seeing you make a move today, I have become somewhat interested in your strength, and it has reached a certain standard of mine, plus you have helped my Liu family twice, I think you are very trustworthy, so I hope that Xingyan Xiaoyou will help me one more thing." β
"What's the matter?"
"Since you have agreed, I might as well tell you directly that in the venue of the Spirit Yuan Competition, in the Spirit Beast Mountain Range, there is a mysterious tomb!"
