Chapter 168: The Great Shift
"You!" Xiao Wuji was stunned when he heard this, and was about to open his mouth to find a reason to refute, but the woman in white no longer looked at him, and her eyes had already fallen on the face of Fuyun Sect Elder Tan Lin.
"The Escape Stone, which contains the power of space, is a rare treasure whether it is used to comprehend space spells or directly urge the magic of the law. However, this thing is not something that can be found in ordinary places, only in the core of the Hanging Island - this is why the Hanging Island can float in the air. The woman in white said slowly, "Elder Tan, you are a master of space art, I don't know if I'm right?" ”
Tan Lin's face seemed to be a little wrong, but under the magical questioning of the woman in white, he had to nod and reply, "Yes." ”
"As far as I know, there were originally three floating islands in the Eastern Continent, but now there are only two left. And the third one, which was originally the station of a sect's Heavenly Palace, suddenly fell decades ago, and among the more than a thousand people in the Heavenly Palace's sect, at least hundreds of people died on the spot, and the Heavenly Palace was gradually depressed, and was finally swallowed up by the Qiankun faction...... But coincidentally, not long after, you have an extra Sky Stone, and you will definitely not admit that this Sky Stone is the core of that floating island, right? ”
"You, you're a bunch of nonsense! Bark up the wrong tree! Nonsense! Elder Tanlin of the Fuyun Sect trembled angrily, and shook the sleeves of his robe violently.
The woman in white no longer looked at him pretending, but turned to the fat Master Xuecheng.
"Master Xuecheng of the Buddha Sect, that Qiankun Moving Ruler is the treasure of your Buddha Sect?"
"Amitabha, it has always been. Please also ask the female benefactor to return it! "Master Xuecheng looked solemn, and his hands were folded.
The woman in white did not answer, but continued to ask, "Then do you recognize Master Xianyu of Longquan Temple?" ”
Master Xuecheng's face was as usual, and he smiled and said: "That's nature, Master Xianyu has profound Buddhism, compassion for the heavens and compassion, and is really a high monk." It's a pity ......"
Before he finished speaking, the woman in white interrupted him and continued: "It's a pity that you don't know people and make friends carelessly, but when you are a Buddhist senior, you often exchange the Dharma with you, but you not only printed your name on the "Commentary on the Bhikshu Containing Commentaries and Precepts" that he painstakingly compiled to make it public, but also included the ancestral treasures of his time when he was not a monk. Now he is angry and vulgar, but you are a master of fame and fortune: a monk! Hehe, master, you really used a good hand to move things around! Is there a ruler that weighs or? ”
"You, you're a bloody squirt!" Master Xuecheng blushed as if he had been stripped of his clothes suddenly, and he no longer had half a solemn treasure, and reprimanded angrily, "You demon girl, you obviously want to defile people's innocence and rely on our treasures!" ”
The woman in white only snorted lightly, no longer paying attention to him, but looked at the Demon Cloud Elder of the Heavenly Demon Sect and said, "The Heavenly Demon Crystal was snatched by you from an ancient small tribe, and it has been worshiped as a holy relic for thousands of years, and when you snatched it, you almost killed all the men of that tribe, don't you deny it?" ”
Elder Demon Cloud grimaced, took a deep breath and said, "This matter is not secret, I admit it. ”
"Good!" The woman in white nodded and said, "Although the Heavenly Demon Sect is an evil way, in my opinion, you are more upright than some self-proclaimed Taoists!" ”
"For the rest, all of you, do you really need me to tell you all the origins of those treasures one by one?" The voice of the woman in white grew cold, although it was still pleasant, but the chill in it was intimidating.
The eleven elders in the refining period were speechless when asked by the woman in white.
The scene suddenly fell into great silence.
Li Jianyin, the city lord standing on the side, regretted that he didn't come out to save the scene later, he had to appear here in advance, he heard so many secrets that he shouldn't have heard, and in the future, he didn't know how many grudges and vendettas the Eastern Continent would have because of those words just now.
At this moment, Master Xuecheng suddenly spoke aloud: "Amitabha! Everyone should not be bewitched by this demon girl, obviously she created something out of nothing, chasing after the wind, but in fact, she wants to forcibly seize our treasures! Since she can't be reasonable, then only by subduing her can she return her things to their original owners! If we don't do it together, when? ”
Among the eleven people, some people listened to Master Xuecheng's words and wanted to sacrifice the magic weapon to do it, but some people hesitated and did not make any moves.
However, just as Master Xuecheng and the others were about to make a move, the city lord Li Jianyin had once again stepped in front of the woman in white, and shouted: "Slow down!! ”
Master Xuecheng held a nine-ring golden-topped Zen staff in both hands, and when he saw Li Jianyin blocking the front, he couldn't help but stagnate, and said angrily: "Amitabha, Lord Li, are you going to be the enemy of our eleven sects?!" ”
City Lord Li Jianyin had already seen the performance of the people of the eleven sects on the opposite side, and he was even more secretly disdainful of Master Xuecheng's behavior of pulling the eleven sects as the banner, but he still hugged his fists to the eleven people opposite with a smile on his face and said: "Everyone, it is precisely because of the action of this fairy in white that the demon clan army was easily repulsed, she is the benefactor of our Northern Snowy City, and even the benefactor of the Eighteen Cities of Northern Xinjiang!" If the snowy city is broken today, then the cities in the northern frontier behind will definitely fall into the flames of war, with the power of that strange artillery array, I am afraid that the remaining seventeen cities in the northern frontier will also fall under the claws of the demon clan sooner or later. And then what? It is the army that unites the Demon Beast Continent and the Demon Clan in the Far North to continue to move south, attacking the sect where you are located one by one, and breaking all the forces under your control...... Let me ask you, whose sect's Sect Protector Array can withstand the bombardment of that kind of artillery array? ”
Eleven people felt that what Li Jianyin said earlier seemed to be a bit strong, but in the face of the question he raised at the end, they could only choose to shake their heads and deny it-maybe the great sects like the Buddha Sect and the Qiankun Sect were strong enough in the core area, and they might even be slightly stronger than the Northern Frontier Snowy City, but the Sect Protector Arrays of some medium-sized sects were far inferior to the Snowy City.
But whether it is "slightly stronger" or "far inferior", under the intensive bombardment of that weird white light cannon, I am afraid that neither of them will last long.
Seeing that everyone seemed to agree with his statement, Li Jianyin continued with satisfaction: "So, this fairy in white not only saved the Northern Frontier Snow City, but also indirectly saved your sect!" Therefore, I, Li Jianyin, in the name of the city lord of the Northern Frontier Snowy City, will discuss with you, this fairy has borrowed treasures from you before, and this has been revealed, so it will be regarded as you have paid a little price in advance for the safety of your sect! If there is any sect elder who disagrees and wants to propose more compensation, even if he proposes it, as long as my Northern Frontier Snowy City can meet it, Snowy City promises to bear it and will never break its promise! ”
As he spoke, Li Jianyin paused, his eyes were cold, and he continued: "But if anyone insists on refusing, he has to embarrass my benefactor of Snow City: ...... That is to be the enemy of my Northern Snowy City, Li Mou should talk to him well! Hehe, that's what Li's proposal is, I don't know, what do you think? ”
At this point, Li Jianyin's gaze first swept over everyone, but at the end, the focus stopped on the elders of several small sects.
The elders of those small sects really regretted why they had to jump out when their brains were hot. Obviously, the woman in white had paid a generous compensation in exchange, although the initial promise to exchange the heavy treasure did have the reason that the strength of the woman in white was shocked, but the value and practicality of the treasure that the other party took out to exchange were not inferior to the space treasure that was exchanged.
Originally, he jumped out with the big sect, first, he wanted to sell well in front of the big sect and give them a strong momentum, but secondly, he had the heart to recover the original treasure and squint at the new treasure.
However, at this time, I didn't expect that the city lord of the Northern Frontier Snow City actually inserted a pole halfway in, and after some analysis, the woman in white turned out to be the life-saving benefactor of various sects. If that's the case, it doesn't seem too much to give away a treasure as a reward, even if you give ten or eight pieces.
These words, if it were the city lord of any big city in the south of the Eastern Continent, not to mention the elders of the big sects like Master Xuecheng and Xiao Wuji, even the elders of these small sects, they would dare to directly point their noses and scold back.
But it was Li Jianyin, the city lord of the Northern Frontier Snow City, who said this, even if he was messing around, even if he was arguing with strong words, with the elders of these small sects, he didn't have the weight to dare to refute it in person.
Because of the special status and importance of the Northern Frontier Snow Domain City, relying on the overall scale and strength of the Eighteen Snowy Cities in the Northern Frontier, the City Lord of the Northern Frontier Snowy City has always been a person who can sit on an equal footing with the Emperor of the Futi Kingdom and the sect masters of the major sects!
However, at this time, this person, who can sit on an equal footing with the Emperor of the Futi Kingdom and the sect masters of the major sects, was scanning the elders of these small sects with his almost murderous gaze, and he almost said clearly: You guys quickly jump out and support me! Otherwise, in the future, I will have the means to retaliate back!
The Supreme Elders of these small sects glanced at each other with bitter expressions, and they all saw endless remorse and helplessness in each other's eyes.
The city lord of the snowy city in the northern frontier, they can't afford to offend!
But the Buddha Sect, the Qiankun Sect, the Fuyun Sect, the Heavenly Demon Sect, and the Heavenly Dao Sect can't afford to offend such big sects!
The elders of several small sects were struggling with how to open their mouths so that both sides would not be offended, but it was the Demon Cloud Elder of the Heavenly Demon Sect who sighed and said, "That's it, what the city lord said is reasonable." If she hadn't made a move to attract the attention of the demon clan, I would most likely have been besieged and defeated by the demon clan, and I have written down this favor! I don't want the Heavenly Demon Crystal. ”
The elders of several small sects seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, their faces were happy, and they were about to follow the statement, but they heard Master Xuecheng on the side say in a deep voice: "Amitabha! ”
"Master Xuecheng, do you have any different opinions?" City Lord Li Jianyin's face sank, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a trace of chill flashed in his eyes......
