Chapter 440: Bear the Burden of Humiliation
Leader Jing pondered for a long time before he made up his mind and said, "Yingtian, you know that martial artists are one of the strategic deterrents of a country, especially our Yan country. Especially those high-level martial artists, their strategic value is great. ”
"For two or three thousand years, cultivators from the upper realm have been the pillars of the Yan Kingdom. In the times of war and chaos in the past dynasties, they openly and covertly turned the tide and helped the building to fall, playing a key role in saving this land and hundreds of millions of people. ”
"Among the many families, the Dugu family is a typical cultivator family. According to the archives, almost all of the cultivators who came from the upper realm every 400 years had the Dugu clan. Therefore, this family has made great contributions to the land of Yanguo. ”
Yingtian heard what he meant, pretended to be deaf and dumb, and ignored it for the time being.
He was puzzled: "Old man, could it be that there are also family sects such as the Dugu family and the Taishi family in the upper realm?" Were these cultivators forced to come to the Land of the Flame Country, or did they come here of their own free will? ”
"If you come voluntarily, what's the benefit, right? In addition, we have been to Ziwei Mountain, how come we haven't seen a person from the Dugu family. ”
Leader Jing said: "According to the archives, there should be these family sects in the upper realm. Moreover, those cultivators came of their own free will, and most of them returned to the upper realm. ”
"Over the years, no cultivator has revealed how they got back. As far as we know, those cultivators are not reluctant to tell it, but they should not be able to tell this secret. ”
Yingtian knew the reason why they didn't dare to say it, and it was because of the terrifying heavenly punishment. Naturally, he thought of the topic he had discussed with Liu Xuanji.
Is there really a strong person in the upper realm who can freely trigger thunder and lightning to kill? Those strong people have mastered the power of the world that Uncle Xuanji said, or are we already living in his Cangsheng Palace?
The thought of this made a cold sweat break out on his back.
At this time, Leader Jing continued: "As the first family of the Yan Kingdom, how can the Dugu family only live in seclusion? Although we thought of this, we only knew about the place in Ziwei Mountain. ”
"As for other possible places to live in seclusion, I once overheard the Dugu family master mention a province, which seems to be ...... Ji Province. ”
"Ji Province?!" Yingtian was shocked. He had already heard of this province several times, and when he heard about this place again from the mouth of Leader Jing, he immediately felt that it was extraordinary!
Yingtian asked eagerly: "Old man, do you know the specific location of the Dugu family in Ji Province?" Moreover, you have been to Ziwei Mountain and have been received by their deputy family master, right? ”
Leader Jing exclaimed, "You actually know these top-secret things?!" It's not easy! ”
Yingtian said embarrassedly, "When I was interrogating a high-ranking martial artist of the Alliance, I inadvertently obtained this information. Sir, I didn't mean to inquire about you, so please don't get me wrong. ”
Leader Jing smiled bitterly: "The last time I went to Ziwei Mountain, Dugu Tianxing told me that after forty-six years, let me go to Phoenix City in Ji Province to welcome the new Upper Realm cultivators. ”
"I know from the archives that Phoenix is a place for newcomers to recuperate and recuperate. It's just that there are only a few people in the Yan Kingdom who know about this. ”
Yingtian knew that the few people he was talking about included those cultivators and the head of the Dugu family, and the family honor, even the head of Zhu and the others did not know the details of this matter.
Phoenix! He remembered the city.
At this time, he thought of the other city that Uncle Yu had said that his father was intercepted by the Ji family was Lincheng, which was only more than 100 kilometers away from Phoenix.
What's so quirky about these two cities? What is the connection between them?
Yingtian thought for a while, and said suspiciously: "Old man, have you ever seen the big turntable of the Dugu family's space corridor?" As is customary, they should have invited you to the Grand Turntable to greet the new cultivators, right? ”
Leader Jing sighed and said, "This time is different, they broke the rules of the past years and only let me wait in Phoenix City. I heard from Dugu Tianxing's words that the person who decided to break the rules, you should know who it is, right? ”
Yingtian deliberately hesitated for a long time before revealing a look of surprise: "Could it be that the bad thing is the Ye Jiazun of the Dugu family?" Is it also the extra cultivator that your old man said? ”
Leader Jing nodded, shook his head again, and said, "It's him!" But this man did more than that. ”
Yingtian asked, "Old man, what other bad things did he do?" ”
Leader Jing recalled with some pain: "During that meeting, Dugu Tianxing clearly relayed the meaning of Yejiazun, and they warned me not to favor the three leaders of Zhu in the relevant decision-making, and to be consistent with the leaders of Ji and others at that time. ”
Yingtian's heart sank, and he was surprised: "How dare they say such things to you?!" Did you say yes? ”
Leader Jing said categorically: "When they threatened to destroy the space corridor, I didn't agree. Yan Guo would rather not have the help of the cultivators of the Upper Realm, and I could not be their accomplice. ”
Yingtian said: "You knew about their intrigues and wolf ambitions at that time, right? ”
Leader Jing sighed and said helplessly: "I guess it may be like this, so I can't be with wolves." But they also said that if I don't obey, the Dugu family will no longer be a hidden family, and they decided to go out with all their members and unite the Ji family, the Ouyang family and other family sects to set off stormy waves in the Yan country......"
He was already so sad that he didn't want to go on, so he took a breath before continuing: "At that time, the entire Martial Arts League and quite a few internal guards had already fallen to them. Yingtian, if it were you, what would you do? ”
Yingtian nodded and said, "Old man, in that extremely difficult situation, you did not fully agree to their request in the end, but won a neutral position, temporarily recuperated in obscurity, and lived in seclusion here. ”
"But the anger in your heart and your passion for your country and your people have never been extinguished. You also hinted at me at the award meeting in the auditorium of the General Military Association, and also acquiesced in the action of the Yanlong Brigade to assist the heroes. ”
"Sir, we thank you for enduring such a long period of humiliation for the country and the people. Thanks to the efforts of your old man, they finally compromised, which is already a great achievement. ”
"Otherwise, Xiongshi will have no chance of growing, let alone winning, and the Yan Kingdom will definitely change the world, and it will eventually become the world of the Ji Family Alliance."
Yingtian changed his words and said, "Old man, you can rest assured now, you don't have to live in seclusion and neutrality anymore, you can come out to lead and command us." You already know the situation of the Ji family and the Wen family, as well as the good situation in the country, right? ”
Leader Jing nodded, but said worriedly, "If the Dugu family destroys the Spatial Yongdao, the cultivators of the upper realm will not be able to reach the Yan Country. In this case, it will be a loss for us. ”
"Although there are occasional fierce and vicious people like Dugu Xuanye, the vast majority of cultivators over the years have been able to stick to their family motto and try their best to maintain the land of Yanguo. From the bottom of my heart, I am very unwilling to let that big turntable be destroyed by them. ”
Yingtian thought for a while and said confidently: "They should only be able to destroy the Yongdao Pass, but they can't damage the entire spatial Yongdao." Don't worry, old man, I will find the hiding place of the Dugu family as soon as possible and maintain the big turntable. ”
"If I am lucky enough to be able to go to the upper realm in the future, I will explore this channel, find a way to play a greater role, and further improve the relevant mechanism, so that this kind of incident will not be repeated."
Leader Jing smiled heartily and said, "Yingtian, you have this kindness, and I thank you on behalf of the country and the general public." The road to the Upper Realm is difficult and risky, and you must be safe and sound. ”
Yingtian said: "If I can go, I believe there is a way to come back." Hide when you are in danger, and flee if you don't win, I am confident that I can still do it. ”
Leader Jing smiled: "Haha, the words "hide and escape" come out of the mouth of you, a victorious general, it's hard to believe!" ”
"However, you can endure the unbearable of ordinary people, and lead the Xiongshi to carry out a strategic transfer on nearly 2,000 kilometers of land in Gui Province. From this point of view, you can understand your original intention of enduring humiliation and accumulation. ”
Yingtian joked: "This is also a valuable experience gained from your old man's spirit of taoguang and obscurity. ”
Leader Jing patted him lightly on the shoulder, tilted his head and laughed.
