Chapter 270: The Stargazing Tower in an Awkward Situation
Everyone thought that without those sword cultivators in the Sword Washing Pool, without the protection of that Sword Saint, it would be easy for them to kill Li Xiuping, but now it seems that they were obviously wrong.
According to their previous understanding, they thought they knew enough about Li Xiuping, but now it seems that there are far more secrets in Li Xiuping than they imagined.
A stargazing tower powerhouse first had an expression on the rest of his life, and then squinted and asked, "What should we do now?" ”
A stargazing tower powerhouse replied: "Now it seems that those guys in Taiyi Pavilion must know more than us, otherwise with their means, it will never be possible for us to find Li Xiuping first, obviously they want to use us as chess pieces." ”
Another stargazing powerhouse asked, "Is that all there is to it?" ”
Everyone was lost in thought.
At this time, there were several figures in the distance slowly approaching, it was the "belated" Taiyi Pavilion powerhouse.
Seeing these powerhouses in Taiyi Pavilion, the powerhouses on this side of the Stargazing Tower all frowned.
An old Taoist of Taiyi Pavilion was the first to ask, "What about Li Xiuping?" ”
A strong man in the Stargazing Tower said in a deep voice: "Shouldn't you know better than us? ”
The old Taoist of Taiyi Pavilion continued: "I really didn't expect that this Li Xiuping actually hid this hand, I just thought that he only had the jade talisman obtained from the demon clan, so I gave him the opportunity to escape, just to let him see hope again and again, and then face the final despair, but I never thought about ......it."
"Humph!" Everyone in the Stargazing Tower snorted coldly.
They are really in a bad mood now, because just now, they almost died in the hands of Li Xiuping.
They are all strong people in the Transformation Period, but seven or eight strong people in the Transformation Stage almost died in the hands of a young man in the Foundation Building Period, and no one will feel good about this kind of thing.
A Taiyi Pavilion powerhouse spoke: "Let's still think about it now, how to intercept Li Xiuping, if he is allowed to run into the gang of guys in the Sword Washing Pool, judging from the background he showed before, if we want to get rid of him, we are only afraid of ......"
Although the words were not finished, the meaning was already obvious.
Everyone on the side of the Stargazing Tower frowned, with this matter, they can't help but be wary of the old Taoist priests of Taiyi Pavilion, this so-called alliance, after all, is not so solid, if you don't guard again, next time I am afraid that the other party will be used as a chess piece, but not every time it can be like this time, it can survive.
Judging from the words of these guys in Taiyi Pavilion, they saw the previous battle with their own eyes, and the reason why Li Xiuping chose to flee in the end instead of directly injuring them was obviously because he felt the existence of these guys in Taiyi Pavilion.
This can prove one point, although Li Xiuping didn't know what secret method he used to forcibly improve his strength, but that state couldn't last too long, and he couldn't fight against so many strong people in Taiyi Pavilion and Stargazing Tower at the same time, otherwise he would never have given up the last means of escape so decisively and chose to leave directly.
And the reason why Taiyi Pavilion suddenly appeared, and did not hide their previous bystanders in their words, this shows that Taiyi Pavilion does not want to face Li Xiuping alone, or that Taiyi Pavilion is not absolutely sure that he can deal with Li Xiuping by himself, after all, whether it is Li Xiuping's strength or the attitude of the Sword Washing Pool, it is enough to prove that it is not easy to get rid of Li Xiuping with just any family.
In fact, even before, they were aware of this, so they chose to form an alliance.
This means that Taiyi Pavilion needs a stargazing tower, and does not want the stargazing tower to be damaged, because now the stargazing tower is damaged, which is equivalent to the damage of Taiyi Pavilion.
Of course, these are all the ideas of the Stargazing Tower, and the idea of Taiyi Pavilion is relatively complicated, after all, they know more about Li Xiuping.
If you didn't kill Li Xiuping before, it was naturally not because of the so-called despair of Li Xiuping, but because of the orders of Kunlun Mountain.
Being able to let Kunlun Mountain come forward to remind it shows that the involvement of Li Xiuping is far beyond their imagination, once Li Xiuping really dies in the hands of Taiyi Pavilion, it will have a huge impact on the entire Taiyi Pavilion, and there may even be unexpected terrible consequences, consequences that Taiyi Pavilion cannot bear.
However, although Kunlun Mountain reminded Taiyi Pavilion, it did not say that Li Xiuping could not die, so if Li Xiuping could die in the hands of others, then Taiyi Pavilion would not have to bear the main responsibility, even if it would be implicated afterwards, it would be easier, plus with Kunlun Mountain coming forward, there would be no danger of being wiped out.
Therefore, they came forward before, indeed to avoid the loss of the stargazing tower, but the purpose was not what the stargazing tower imagined.
The stronger the strength of the Stargazing Tower, the greater the possibility of being able to kill Li Xiuping, and then Taiyi Pavilion will have more opportunities to get rid of Li Xiuping's involvement.
A strong man from Taiyi Pavilion looked at the snow field in front of him and said: "Judging from this Li Xiuping's course of action, it is obvious that he is heading east to Martial Emperor City to seek the protection of Martial Emperor City, after all, I heard that Martial Emperor City has a lot to do with his master, so if we want to kill him, we must rush to Martial Emperor City before he arrives." ”
A strong man in the Stargazing Tower said coldly: "This place is thousands of miles away from Martial Emperor City, in his current state, can he rush to Martial Emperor City?" ”
The powerhouse of Taiyi Pavilion said indifferently: "Don't forget that there are also the guys in the Sword Washing Pool, if you want to talk about the speed of the sky, if the speed of the Sword Washing Pool is the second, no one in the entire cultivation world dares to say the first, and now that the two of us have joined forces, we can keep him, except for the four cities, there are only three mountains." ”
He continued: "The attitude of the Drifting Snow City side is already very clear, and it will definitely not interfere, not to mention that he can't reach the White Emperor City in the west, even if it is us, it is difficult to pass through the entire demon clan, let alone the south, which is the farthest away." As for the three mountains, they are either far away, or it is impossible to help him, so there is only one Emperor Wu City left. ”
A strong man in the Stargazing Tower frowned and said: "But if he goes south, as long as he leaves the Drifting Snow Country, not only will there be the Sword Washing Pond to respond, but there will also be the Tide Viewing Academy if he continues to go south, although the Sword Washing Pool and the Tide Viewing Academy have been lonely a lot over the years, but if the two join forces, even if the two of us are in trouble at the same time, we will have to pay a lot of price, and whether it is the Washing Sword Pool or the Tide Viewing Academy, they will definitely do their best to help him, why should he go to Emperor Wu City?" ”
The powerhouse of Taiyi Pavilion shook his head and said, "It is precisely because the Sword Washing Pool and the Tide Viewing Academy will do their best to help him, so he will choose to go east." ”
Everyone was stunned, not quite understanding the meaning of this sentence.
The powerhouse of Taiyi Pavilion continued: "Even if the Guanchao Academy joins forces with the Sword Washing Pool and confronts the two of us, it will only be them who will lose in the end, and the price paid by the Sword Washing Pool and the Guanchao Academy will be even greater, this kid is using himself to exchange for the safety of the Sword Washing Pool and the Guanchao Academy." ”
Everyone nodded in understanding.
The powerhouse of Taiyi Pavilion continued: "Friendship is really ...... Guanchao Academy and Sword Washing Pond did not hesitate to block thousands of years of holy land inheritance for Li Xiuping, and this Li Xiuping did not hesitate to put himself in danger in order to repay this kindness, in fact, he really wanted to go south, we really had no way to take him for a while, and then he only needed to find an opportunity to successfully cast the fairy sword, not to mention that the two of us joined forces, even if it was to add another holy land, it would be difficult to move him. ”
He looked at the people in the Stargazing Tower, and then said: "Since you fellow Daoists don't believe in my Taiyi Pavilion, then in this way, let's go our separate ways, whoever kills Li Xiuping first, the treasures on his body will belong to whoever owns him, and the other party must not have any intervention, how about it?" ”
Everyone on the side of the stargazing tower frowned.
The immortal treasures on Li Xiuping's body are indeed very eye-catching, the key is that in addition to those immortal treasures on Li Xiuping's body, there are many powerful backgrounds that even they feel afraid of, if anyone can take Li Xiuping first, they can get everything on Li Xiuping's body. And once all the immortal treasures and heritage on Li Xiuping's body are taken for himself, it is not impossible to say that he will be above the Seven Holy Lands at that time, and even compete with the Three Mountains.
If that's the case, it can also make up for the losses caused by Li Xiuping in this Seven Holy Land Conference, otherwise, in less than a hundred years, once there is no successor to the Holy Land where they are located, they will inevitably be suppressed by other Holy Lands, and their position in the Seven Holy Lands will inevitably plummet, and it is not impossible to even be replaced by other forces.
You must know that under the Seven Holy Lands, there are still eight sages eyeing each other, and they have always wanted to go to the next level and obtain one of the Holy Lands.
The reason for this side of the sword washing pool is that there is a sword master, although there is only a combination period of cultivation, but one person and one sword, standing on the edge of the sword washing pool, naturally no one dares to continue to wash the sword pool.
Because of the events of three hundred years ago, Guanchao Academy has declined the fastest in three hundred years, and it looks like it is about to be replaced, but a Qi Wenxing emerges, and fights with the sword saint in the sword washing pool, shaking the entire cultivation world, so that many forces that are ready to move can only be discouraged, and now Li Xiuping has joined, won the leader of the seven holy lands, and obtained the ownership of the ancient battlefield relics for the next three hundred years, and in the future, I am afraid that all forces will not have any thoughts about Guanchao Academy.
Giving up the Sword Washing Pool and the Tide Watching Academy, the major forces will inevitably shift their targets to other holy places, there is the entire demon clan as a backer in the Butterfly Valley, and the demon clan has always been in the same spirit, and they don't want humans to be so deceitful, each calculates, behind not only has the White Emperor City, one of the four cities, as the backer, but also Qingqiu Mountain, one of the three mountains, and the human forces want to obtain the holy land of the Butterfly Valley, which is simply a fool's dream.
In addition to the above three, the remaining incense burner mountain, drifting snow city, Taiyi Pavilion, stargazing tower four, incense burner mountain because of the three hundred years of ownership of the ancient battlefield relics, now it is almost the strongest of the seven holy lands, and it is also deeply involved with Lingtai Mountain, one of the three mountains, naturally no one will hit them with the idea.
Drifting Snow City is in this Drifting Snow City, Drifting Snow City is one of the four cities, and there is the City Lord's Mansion in it, not to mention that Drifting Snow City has not shown signs of decay over the years, even if it is really decayed to the extent of the Tide Watching Academy, I am afraid that few people will hit them with their ideas.
As for Taiyi Pavilion, it is Taoist orthodoxy, and Kunlun Mountain is in the same line, and it usually comes and goes, and because of the existence of the demon clan, the prestige of Taiyi Pavilion has always been the largest among the seven holy lands, and the heritage inheritance is also the oldest one among the seven holy lands, plus the holy land inheritance of Taiyi Pavilion is only applicable to Daomen monks, and other forces will not fight the idea of Taiyi Pavilion.
In this way, it is their stargazing tower that is the most miserable, not only does they have no backer behind them, but the inheritance is also messy, and they have always been in a relatively embarrassing situation.
In fact, it is precisely because of this situation that the Stargazing Tower will deal with Li Xiuping so hard, because they don't want the Guanchao Academy to regain its status three hundred years ago, and they need to have a strong heritage to maintain the inheritance of the Stargazing Tower, and those immortal treasures on Li Xiuping's body are the best existence, and they are also the foundation that can be used immediately, and they are the only thing that can change the embarrassing situation of the Stargazing Tower now.
Killing Li Xiuping will not only be able to get the essence of Li Xiuping, but also make the Guanchao Academy fall into the previous predicament again, so no matter whether the Guanchao Academy will become the target of the major forces, at least the Stargazing Tower will not become the target.
It's just that the involvement behind Li Xiuping is not small after all, and it even involves one of the rumored two immortals, the wine fairy, one carelessness will make the entire stargazing tower fall into a situation of no return, so even if the next situation of the stargazing tower will become extremely embarrassing, the entire stargazing tower actually has no determination to gamble everything.
The reason why they have made up their minds now, in addition to having Taiyi Pavilion behind the scenes, giving Taiyi Pavilion the illusion, is mainly because Li Xiuping killed those Tianjiao of the Stargazing Tower in the ruins of the ancient battlefield before, completely cutting off the future of the Stargazing Tower, which made them have to risk offending the wine fairy and also take action against Li Xiuping.
In fact, this is also the reason why Taiyi Pavilion chose to join forces with the Stargazing Tower, to be precise, the reason why the Stargazing Tower was chosen as a chess piece, because the Stargazing Tower now has no choice, except to bet on everything in the entire Stargazing Tower, and get hope from Li Xiuping, there is no other possibility.
I have to say that all this seems to be arranged, but what Li Xiuping has is just able to make the Stargazing Tower change the current situation, but the stargazing tower Tianjiao that Li Xiuping killed is the hope of the future of the stargazing tower, but among the seven holy places, only the stargazing tower is in an embarrassing situation......
In this way, this stargazing tower is destined to stand on the opposite side of Li Xiuping, and what they Taiyi Pavilion did was just to speed up the process.
……
Farther east, a snow-capped mountain reaches into the sky, but at the foot of the mountain there is a river flowing, even though the snow is flying and the weather is freezing, the river is completely unaffected, and there is even a layer of milky white heat on the surface of the river.
At this moment, a figure appeared directly on the bank of the river at the foot of the mountain, and as soon as he appeared, he knelt directly on the ground, and the whole person almost fell directly into the river.
This person is naturally Li Xiuping.
Facing those powerhouses in the Stargazing Tower before, Li Xiuping finally used up the last chance of the jade talisman, because his previous state could not last too long, and once the guys from Taiyi Pavilion also joined the battle, it would be extremely difficult to leave.
And with the drive of the jade talisman, the two Li Xiuping were also exchanged back, and the current Li Xiuping is the Li Xiuping who only cultivates in the foundation building period, and naturally it has completely recovered to the previous state, plus being used by another "Li Xiuping" with the help of his body, the already weak body is even worse, not to mention the Jindan period monk, he is an ordinary person, and he can be easily killed.
Li Xiuping knelt in the snow like this, unable to move.
The snow continued to fall, and soon a thick layer was piled up on him, and only when the snow almost completely covered his entire body, his body could barely move.
Li Xiuping first took off the wine jug at his waist, then poured it with some difficulty, then sat down cross-legged and began to absorb the power brought by the wine to restore the wear and tear of his body.
As Li Xiuping sat down cross-legged, light began to linger on him, and the snow began to melt, rolling down from him, falling into the river, and then melting in the river.
The pitch-black dragon, which was originally weak, appeared out of thin air at this time, plunged into the river, and disappeared.
Li Xiuping didn't pay attention to this, and didn't even contact the pitch-black dragon, all his thoughts were on his body.
Time went on like this, the cold wind was still howling, cold and biting, and the snow was still falling, and after touching Li Xiuping's body, it melted directly.
I don't know how long it took before Li Xiuping moved again, then took off the wine jug on his waist again and poured another sip of wine.
After pouring this sip of wine, Li Xiuping did not continue to absorb the power of the wine to recover his own losses, but stood up directly, then glanced at the river in front of him, put the wine jug into the river water, and took the river water to replenish the wine in the wine jug.
This river is completely opposite to the river in Penglai Xianzhou before, the river in Penglai Xianzhou was a cold and piercing feeling, but this river has a warm feeling, so that in this icy and snowy place, Li Xiuping wants to put his whole body directly in this river water to feel this warmth.
Of course, Li Xiuping did not do this, as the river continued to pour into the wine jug, the entire river surface actually began to shrink, and after the wine jug was filled, the river slowly returned to its original height.
Li Xiuping hung the flask around his waist, and then began to make contact with the pitch-black dragon.
He had to leave as soon as possible, because the guys from Taiyi Pavilion and Stargazing Tower would soon catch up, and when the time came, there would be no jade talisman to run away from, and there would be no way for the other self to come out to deal with it, and it would be impossible to get rid of the powerhouses of the two holy lands.
Summoned by Li Xiuping, the pitch-black dragon left the river directly, and the feeling of weakness was reduced a lot, and the originally dull scale armor gradually regained its previous luster at this moment.
Li Xiuping didn't expect that this river water would have such a miraculous effect, and then he felt the meaning of the pitch-black dragon.
With their current situation, even if Li Xiuping continues to move forward, the speed will not be very fast, it is only a matter of time before he is caught up by the guys from Taiyi Pavilion and Stargazing Tower, although the pitch-black dragon has recovered a lot, but it can't carry Li Xiuping out too far, but because of this river, Li Xiuping can take the jet-black dragon, and with the help of the magical effect of this river, go down the river.
Feeling the mind of the pitch-black dragon, Li Xiuping jumped directly onto the head of the pitch-black dragon, one person and one dragon, just turned into a streamer and disappeared between this heaven and earth.
