Chapter Seventy-Two: The Secret Behind the Contest
Since Brother Xie came from the registration office to follow me, he must have known how much trouble I was in. Aren't you afraid of being implicated?" After a moment's hesitation, Duan Yun said.
"Hehe, if you hadn't dared to teach Fang Jun a lesson, I might not have found you. Rest assured, I, Xie Tai, are not without roots in this Lingxiao City. Others are afraid of that Fang Jun, but I am not. Xie Tai seemed to know that Duan Yun would ask this question, he just smiled faintly and said.
"In that case, it's a nuisance. "Anyway, after leaving Evergreen and them, Duan Yun has no suitable place to go for the time being. Especially from Xie Tai's words, Duan Yun also heard Fang Jun's dissatisfaction. The enemy of the enemy is the friend, and if you are afraid of the wolf and the tiger in everything, you will achieve nothing. So he decided to take a gamble.
"Refreshing!" Seeing that Duan Yun agreed, Xie Tai let out a sigh of relief. He re-examined Duan Yun and couldn't help but nod secretly. You must know that in a strange place, if you dare to follow someone who has only one side, you are either scheming or full of confidence. Obviously, Duan Yun belongs to the latter.
Duan Yun followed Xie Tai through several streets and came to a large mansion. The mansion is located in a secluded bamboo forest, and the sound of birdsong from time to time adds to its mystery. Around this mansion, you can see warriors in strong gear walking back and forth everywhere, serving as guards. And from them, Duan Yun could sense strong internal force fluctuations. Obviously none of them are weak.
Seeing Xie Tai, these warriors in strong armor all stood respectfully with their hands down, and none of them made a sound. And the eyes they looked at Duan Yun were full of vigilance.
"This Brother Duan Yun is my friend, you don't need to check, you guys can get busy. Xie Tai waved his hand at them and said.
Hearing Xie Tai say this, all the warriors saluted in unison and returned to the same place.
Such a mysterious mansion and such a tight security made Duan Yun couldn't help but have a strong interest in Xie Tai's identity.
Looking at Duan Yun who was stunned, Xie Tai explained: "These are martial artists who have received my father's favor, and they are invited here this time just in case. Please don't mind, Brother Duan. I know your heart is full of question marks, this is not a place to talk, and I will come to you one by one when I get home. ”
"It doesn't matter. Duan Yun replied casually, and followed Xie Tai in. However, he had a hunch that this Danji competition would not be simple.
"Tai'er, but you invited Duan Yun?" A resounding voice came from the living room. Then, an old man came out from within.
Seeing this old man, Duan Yun couldn't help but be stunned. Isn't this the goatee who was in charge of registering at the registration office? How could he be here, and from the way he called Xie Tai, it was clear that the relationship between the two was extraordinary.
"Come, come, speak. The old man with the goatee enthusiastically pulled Duan Yun and walked towards the living room.
"Senior, this is ......" After the three of them sat down, Duan Yun finally couldn't help but speak.
The goatee old man didn't speak, just stared at Duan Yun carefully. After a long time, he nodded and muttered to himself: "It seems that the old man should have found the right person this time, and it is not in vain that I surrendered my identity to the registration office to go through this ......."
After speaking, he noticed Duan Yun's stunned eyes.
"Ahem, people are getting old, and their actions are a little abrupt...... Let's introduce myself first. Old man Xie Tian is the father of that kid......" Xie Tian pointed to Xie Tai next to him and said.
"Thank you, senior, I don't know what to do with the next one?" Looking at this strange old man, Duan Yun couldn't help but laugh and cry.
"I don't know how sure the little brother is of this Danji Competition?" Xie Tian did not answer Duan Yun directly, but instead asked a strange question.
"Old guy, you call Duan Yun a little brother, so what do I call him?" Hearing that Xie Tian actually called Duan Yun like that, Xie Tai next to him was not happy.
"You call yours, I call mine, do you still need me to teach?" Xie Tian glanced at Xie Tai and said angrily.
Looking at this pair of living treasure father and son, Duan Yun couldn't help but laugh.
"To be honest, there are people outside the people, and there are mountains outside the mountains. I'm not half sure......" After stabilizing his mood, Duan Yun said.
"Don't be arrogant or impatient, this kind of heart is quite rare......" After listening to Duan Yun's answer, Xie Tian nodded. However, then he changed his words: "However, this Danji event is very important. Do you know how much impact it will have on the entire Alchemist Guild if no one on our side can enter that Spirit Tower?"
Xie Tian's inexplicable words completely confused Duan Yun. His eyes widened, staring at Xie Tian with a blank look.
Seeming to see Duan Yun's doubts, Xie Tian explained, "That's right, this Lingxiao City is the headquarters of the Alchemist Guild. There are many talents, and there are as many as 20 elders alone, and among these 20 elders, they are roughly divided into two factions. One faction is headed by Fang Shan, and the other faction is headed by me. Originally, when the president was there, the relationship between the two sides was quite harmonious. However, when the president went out a few months ago, he was plotted and died of serious injuries, and since then, our two factions have been fighting constantly, but we have maintained a relationship on the surface......"
However, this situation cannot last long. Therefore, we agreed that we would take this Dan Skill Competition as an opportunity to obtain the reward at the top of the Spirit Tower, the Battle Formation Technique, and the other party would have the decision-making power of the Alchemist Guild, while the other party must obey unconditionally. However, this spiritual tower is not accessible to everyone, and people over the age of twenty will be automatically excluded. Originally, I was confident, but unexpectedly, a few days ago, I got the news that one of the young alchemists I relied on the most had betrayed the other party. It was only then that I realized that this agreement was a conspiracy from the beginning!"
"However, the wood was already in the boat, and I couldn't do anything to change it, so I had to find a way to find a new candidate. I don't dare to trust the alchemists of Lingxiao City, so I can only choose among the contestants from outside. But in the vast sea of people, how easy is it to find an alchemist who can take on a heavy responsibility? Just when I was in the dust, I saw the scene where you injured Fang Jun with the internal force containing the fire attribute......
"I'm not just an intermediate great pharmacist, but also a fourth-level great martial artist. So I can see at a glance that you definitely have a fire above the ground level in your body. Moreover, this fire is by no means comparable to the miscellaneous fire on our bodies. What is especially rare is that I don't know what method you use, but you can actually attach the fire to the internal force, so that you can be more handy when refining medicine. This discovery struck me, and that's why I secretly asked Terre to invite you......"
Hearing this, Duan Yun understood the general situation of the matter. Unexpectedly, behind this seemingly glamorous Alchemist Guild, there are so many secrets that are not humane!
"Personally, I don't have much idea about the decision-making power of the guild. However, believe in Fang Jun's approach, you have also seen it. The so-called upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked, if they control the Alchemist Guild, I am afraid that there will be a big chaos. So the only way to stop them is to get the Battle Formation Technique, and the worst thing you can do is to let them get it...... Alas!"
Xie Tian let out a long sigh and looked at Duan Yun with hope. This matter was like Mount Tai in his heart, almost overwhelming him, but now that he said it in one breath, he suddenly felt much more relaxed. The only thing he was worried about now was that he didn't know if Duan Yun would be in this troubled water.
"I don't know how this battle formation technique should be distributed?" Just when Xie Tian was nervous, this sentence, which could be described as the most pleasant voice in the world for him now, floated out of Duan Yun's mouth.
