Looking at Wen Yue'er's mysterious but playful and cute appearance, Fang Lin felt a little funny, and thought in his heart: "It's still an innocent little girl." ”

On the surface, Fang Lin pretended to be in the dark and was very curious, blinking and asking, "What secret?" ”

"Hee-hee, do you want to know, but I don't want to tell you now." Wen Yue'er covered her mouth and laughed wildly.

Fang Lin made an innocent and helpless expression and said, "It turns out that you are playing tricks on me." Then he drooped his head in frustration.

Seeing his expression, Wen Yue'er smiled even more happily, but at this time, Concubine Shu tapped Fang Lin's shoulder next to her and said, "Okay, don't deceive people anymore." Then he smiled at Wen Yue'er and said, "Sister Yue'er, don't believe him, he's very bad." ”

Wen Yue'er also reacted when she heard this, crossed her hands on her hips, and said angrily: "Hmph, let you make a mistake, I decided, I will only tell Sister Concubine Shu this secret, don't tell it, big villain!" After speaking, he made a grimace at Fang Lin, then pulled up Concubine Shu and walked to the side.

"Hey, wait, wait, Yue'er, tell us about any good things." Qu Shan'er pulled Bai Lian over too, Wen Yue'er saw the second daughter coming, and greeted them generously, and then several girls let out a burst of heart-warming silver bell-like laughter and ran to the side.

The other disciples of the Purple Extreme Sect also came over and laughed and chatted with these disciples of the Linghua Sect, and Li Mengyang suddenly said to the Great Elder, "Brother Zhou, I have something I want to discuss with you, why don't we find a place to have a good chat?" ”

"Hehe, how about we go to Lin Yuan Restaurant?" The Grand Elder suggested.

A group of more than 30 people came to Lin Yuan Restaurant, Lin Shouxin naturally arranged the largest and most luxurious private room for them, with all the wine and food, after a while of greetings, Li Mengyang said: "Brother Zhou, you should know that this matter that represents the trade between the imperial court and other countries is not something that a certain force can eat, so we must unite with some other forces to do this together, and your Linghua faction is the first ally we choose, I don't know what Brother Zhou wants?" ”

"Hehe, Brother Li is polite, the Purple Pole Sect values us and others, and my Linghua faction is naturally very willing, but with the current strength of my Linghua faction, I am afraid it will be difficult to take charge alone." The Great Elder said.

"Haha, Brother Zhou, it's too humble, with the current strength of your Linghua faction, as long as you don't encounter a reincarnation realm powerhouse to find trouble, the rest is not a problem at all." Li Mengyang said

"Hey, Brother Li should know that this time, my Linghua faction has offended the Heavenly Desolate Sect and the He family, and next, the two families may not let go of any opportunity to trouble us, I'm just worried about ······" The Great Elder did not continue, but the meaning was clear.

Li Mengyang's eyes flashed with some disdain, and said: "The two of them are very good in the Southern Regions, but the two families are checking and balancing each other, their four old guys in the reincarnation realm will definitely not make a move easily, and our affairs are jointly undertaken by several major forces, if they dare to make it bad, they will offend all our forces at the same time, hmph, even if they lend him a few guts of Zhongli Old Ghost and He Pingzhang, they will not dare to blatantly come to us for trouble, so, you can rest assured!" ”

"Good! Brother Li is full of fists, and I will no longer be hypocritical, and I wish us a happy cooperation! The Great Elder raised his glass and said.

Li Mengyang also laughed, also picked up his wine glass, and bumped heavily with the Great Elder, which could be regarded as a preliminary intention to cooperate.

At this moment, Fang Lin suddenly interjected: "Senior, junior has a question that I want to figure out, if there is any disrespect, I hope that the senior will not blame." ”

Li Mengyang not only didn't get angry when he heard this, but laughed and said: "I have long heard that Senior Nephew Fang Lin has a very high status in the Linghua faction, and even in some matters, your words can influence the final decision of the Linghua faction, well, if there is anything you ask, the old man must know everything, and he will say everything!" This kind of provocative remark on the surface, at this time of Li Mengyang, it turned into a polite compliment when he said it on this occasion, and no one on the Linghua side felt that this sentence was abrupt.

"Thank you seniors, juniors just want to know which forces your sect is ready to unite." Fang Lin smiled lightly.

"Hehe, I want to measure our strength before deciding whether to really join, and it's really thoughtful." Fang Lin's thoughts Li Mengyang could naturally see it at a glance, and after thinking about it, it was not a secret, so he replied: "In this regard, the Contempt Sect has already made a plan, what we are going to unite is the first-class family Zhang family in the Western Regions, the first-class sect in the Northern Regions, the Five Dragon Palace, the first-class sect in the Eastern Regions, the Kuixing Sect, and the Southern Regions, which are naturally your Linghua Sect, and there are six second-rate sects, but their strength cannot be compared with your Linghua Sect, well, that's it." ”

"Then why didn't your sect choose a first-class force in my southern region alone, aren't the seniors afraid that the two of them will join forces to make trouble?" Fang Lin asked again.

"Hehe, we have had a holiday with the Heavenly Desolate Sect, and we have never dealt with each other, you should know this, as for the He family, hehe, I can't trust them, if you want to say that they join forces to make trouble, hmph, with the strength of our alliance, although we don't say that we will destroy them, it is more than enough to cripple them." Li Mengyang said domineeringly.

Fang Lin closed his eyes and went through all the forces that Li Mengyang said, there was a gap between the strength of the Zhang family and the Purple Pole Sect in the Western Regions, but this was also the only two sects in the entire Shang Kingdom that had not had a fight, and the reputation of the Zhang family was extremely good, if the two families were united, no one would dare to make trouble in the Western Regions.

The Five Dragons Hall is the veteran overlord of the Northern Regions, and in terms of strength, it is stronger than the first-class family Huang family in the Northern Regions, and in these years of fighting, it has always been in an advantageous position.

Kui Xing Sect has been fighting with the Demon Heaven Sect in the Eastern Regions, it is said that the two families have an inextricable hatred, but no one can help anyone, and the reputation of the Demon Heaven Sect is not very good, there has been a matter of killing collaborators and monopolizing interests, and although Kui Xingzong is not a good person, but it is not a villain, if there are them in the Eastern Regions, it can also ensure safety.

As for those second-rate families, if they can be favored by the Purple Pole Sect, they will burn high incense, the reason why they invite the second-rate forces, rather than other first-class forces, is because of the subjective factors of the Purple Pole Sect, but the most important thing is that there are too many big forces, and the interests are not enough, and for the second-rate forces, as long as they can drink some soup, they will be satisfied.

Thinking of this, the smile on Fang Lin's face brightened, and he said, "Thank you seniors for telling me honestly, as long as there is no Heavenly Desolate Sect and the He family in the alliance, then our Linghua Sect will do it!" ”

Li Mengyang laughed when he heard this, patted Fang Lin's shoulder and said, "Okay, young man, you have courage!" At the same time, he also glanced at the Great Elder and Huai Ming, but seeing that both of them looked as usual, and there was no strange look on their faces, he knew that this Fang Lin's weight in the Ling Hua Sect was probably even greater than he had imagined.

Everyone talked freely about the issue of cultivation for a while, and Li Mengyang suddenly turned his head to Fang Lin and said, "Senior Nephew Fang Lin, the old man has a reluctant request, and I hope it will be fulfilled." ”

"Hehe, the seniors have been sent, but please command, the juniors must do their best." Although Fang Lin was full of doubts, what would an old monster of the Reincarnation Realm need to do for him, a junior in the Yan Realm, but on the surface, he still said respectfully.

"Well, that's the case, you know, as far as Fa cultivation is concerned, there is no one stronger than you in the entire Shang Kingdom, and before you, the strongest Fa Cultivation in my Shang Country has only reached the Yan Yan Realm, and at that time, he was already in his old age, not to mention that even at that time, he was much weaker than you now." Speaking of this, Li Mengyang paused, and continued: "I'm not afraid of your jokes, in my Purple Pole Sect, the best method cultivation is the current Yue'er, that is because of the strength of my Purple Pole Sect for three generations, and the Dharma cultivation exercises and law decisions that have been collected by the poor three generations of my Purple Pole Sect, but they are not very clever, and as for the secret arts, they are ······." He didn't say any more, just shook his head with a wry smile.

Hearing this, Fang Lin seemed to understand what Li Mengyang wanted, and said helplessly: "But senior, I am still in the process of exploring the cultivation of Fa cultivation, if I indiscriminately guide Miss Yue'er, once there is a mistake, I am afraid that I will regret it." ”

Fang Lin's words had the meaning of euphemism, of course Li Mengyang could hear it, but he also understood, after all, the cultivation method and experience were the secrets of each person or sect, how could it be easily taught, just when he was about to phrase it and wanted to discuss it further, Wen Yue'er, a simple girl, didn't hear the meaning of Fang Lin's words, and said eagerly: "Fang Lin, I don't mind, just a few years ago, with your reminder, I took a lot of detours, Now I'm much stronger than a few fellow Fa cultivators in the sect, so don't you want to guide me? Do you hate me? Speaking of which, there was a mist in the little girl's eyes.

At this moment, Fang Lin was embarrassed and in a dilemma, and Concubine Shu, Qu Shan'er and Bai Lian, who were sitting next to him, also began to gently persuade Wen Yue'er, and the girls also glanced at Fang Lin with a contemptuous gaze from time to time, just when Fang Lin shook his head and smiled bitterly, and had no countermeasures, Li Mengyang said: "Brother Zhou, I don't think it's as good as this, how about the two sects of you and me become 'brother sects'?" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned, it is very common for various sects in the martial arts to form alliances, for example, in order to take over the task of "trade with other countries" given by the imperial court, several sects such as the Ziji Sect and the Linghua Sect formed an alliance, which is just risk sharing and benefit sharing, but this "brother sect" is different, not only to support each other, share weal and woe, but the most important thing is to open most of the Dao Zang to each other, that is, in addition to the real core secrets, There are basically no secrets between the two sides, and from a certain point of view, this is a merger of the two cases, but they do not interfere in each other's internal affairs.

The Great Elder was stunned at first, and then ecstasy, with such an opportunity, in the future, in the high-level exchanges between the Linghua Sect and the Purple Pole Sect, they will be able to gain a lot of valuable experience, and the cultivation of a few elders of the Nai He Realm who have cultivated the Star Exercises will be much smoother, I am afraid that in another twenty years or so, the Linghua Sect will be able to give birth to martial artists in the Reincarnation Realm, so that the Linghua Sect can truly enter the category of first-class great sects, and it will have the capital to be proud of the martial arts.

The Great Elder and Huai Ming glanced at each other, and both saw the divine light in each other's eyes, and after a while, the Great Elder finally forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said: "Brother Li, this matter is very serious, we must pass the sound back to the sect, and it can only be implemented through the decision of the elder meeting, I think, your sect also needs to discuss." ”

"Hehe, that's natural, but for this matter, the Sect actually has already proposed, it shouldn't be a big problem, why don't we disperse for the time being today and gather here again tomorrow, how about it?" Li Mengyang said.

"Okay, that's it, Brother Li, everyone, farewell." The Great Elder bowed his hand to the people of the Purple Extreme Sect.

······

Since the rise of Fang Lin, the Linghua faction has made a lot of noise in the entire Shang country with advanced methods of cultivating the exercises, and there are many forces that have beaten their Linghua faction's ideas, but the small forces can only be blushing, while the Heavenly Desolate Sect and the He family are restraining each other, and no one can make room for it, and when the two families are basically balanced, the Linghua faction is already sitting on the throne and is not easy to deal with; In addition to the two major factions in the Southern Regions, the major sects in other regions also have a strong interest in the Linghua faction, but the distance is too far, and the two first-class forces in the Southern Regions have not moved, so they can only stare dryly.

Now, with such an opportunity, there is naturally no opposition within the Purple Pole Sect, after all, in the long run, the benefits are far greater than their own efforts, and the Linghua Sect is even more overjoyed, with the Purple Pole Sect as a support, even if the Heavenly Desolate Sect or the He family wants to come to find trouble, it is not an easy matter.

Therefore, the two families hit it off, and in this "Qunying Village", Li Mengyang and the Great Elder respectively represented the two sects, pointing to the sky as an oath and blood as an alliance, and made a soul blood oath to form a "brother sect".

After the two sides greeted each other one by one, Li Mengyang smiled at each other Lin Dao: "Senior nephew Fang, I won't tell you, since the battle of the Shark Imperial City, this girl Yue'er has always admired you tightly, so I want her to follow you to carry out tasks and travel, if you are free, you can casually point her out, hey, if you let her cultivate in the sect all the time, I am afraid that she will not be able to break the Yin and Yang Realm for the rest of her life." ”

At this time, Wen Yue'er also looked at Fang Lin with a blank eye, the emotions in her eyes such as resentment, hope, nervousness, fear, and pleading were undisguised, looking at her eyes, no matter how Fang Lin was, she couldn't say anything to refuse, and besides, everyone understood that the purpose of the Ziji Sect was to do the four words "Fa cultivation cultivation".

With a secret sigh in his heart, Fang Lin smiled kindly and said, "Hehe, of course it's no problem, it's an honor for Senior Sister Yue'er to join." ”

When Wen Yue'er heard this, she jumped up instantly, took Concubine Shu's hand, and jumped and screamed excitedly, just like a child who got a sugar gourd.

Li Mengyang also stroked his beard and laughed: "Okay, okay, this little girl has finally fulfilled her wish, Master Fang, I will ask you to take good care of my little girl in the future, Yue'er girl, you have to work hard, don't let down your talent and the hope of the sect." ”

After another burst of laughter, the two sects parted ways, Wen Yue'er naturally followed Fang Lin and them back to the Linghua faction, of course, she also made a soul blood oath at Fang Lin's request, and officially became a member of Fang Lin's team.

······

The old ghost Zhongli can be said to have lived the most embarrassing days since he became famous these days, and he recuperated in the nameless small cave for two days before his injuries were stabilized, and he didn't dare to stay for a long time, because He Pingzhang must be searching on a large scale, with his current state, once he is found, there will be big trouble, maybe even his old life will be explained.

He didn't dare to go back to the Heavenly Desolate Sect directly, because, along the way, there would definitely be layers of ambushes, and he didn't dare to contact the Heavenly Desolate Sect with a transmission note, because they had two of them in the Heavenly Desolate Sect with eavesdropping charms, and the ghost knew how many He families there were, so he chose to take a detour to the Eastern Regions, and turn back to the Southern Regions from the "Sichuan River Gorge" to the Southern Regions, and go back to the Heavenly Desolate Sect.

However, if a person is unlucky, he can even drink cold water and stuff his teeth, just when Zhongli Old Ghost Ancestor and Grandson were about to enter the Eastern Regions, they met a team of disciples of the He Family Bagua Realm who went out to practice, and those disciples sent a signal at the first time, Originally, even if Zhongli Old Ghost was injured, it would not take much to solve these twenty or thirty gossip realm ants, but he didn't dare, lest he would bring people to catch up with him, so he had to escape, a great master of the reincarnation realm, The existence that almost stood at the peak of the martial arts of the entire Shang Kingdom, but was chased and fled by several ants from the Bagua Realm, the grievance in the heart of the old ghost of Zhongli could not be described in words at all.

That's it, he is a big master of the reincarnation realm, and he was chased and killed by twenty or thirty ants in the gossip realm for three days, and in the end, he had no choice but to get into the ghost yin forest, and then relied on his own speed to get rid of those tracking warriors, but he was unlucky to encounter two ninth-level demon beasts in the ghost yin forest, because he had to protect Zhongli Meng, he couldn't use his hands and feet, and a big battle was fought very hard, which made the injury that had not improved a little worse, and he accidentally fell into the trap of catching the demon beast, Although there was no harm, the embarrassment was a loss of face for the rest of his life.

In the end, he went through more than three months of displacement, and escaped several times of chasing and interception, it can be said that he returned to the Heavenly Desolate Sect in nine deaths, and when he saw the mountain peak where the Heavenly Desolate Sect was located from a distance, Zhongli Old Ghost had a feeling of being in a different world, and the old tears were all over the place, and Zhongli Meng couldn't help but cry.

Back in the sect, the old ghost Zhongli endured his injuries and explained the cause and effect of the incident and his thoughts to his junior brother, that is, the second Supreme Elder of the Heavenly Desolate Sect of the Reincarnation Realm-Dou Shiying, who looked like an ordinary seventy or eighty-year-old man, but his temperament was diametrically opposed to the old ghost Zhongli.

Dou Shiying pondered for a moment and said, "It's not wise for us to choose to fight with the He family now, it's better for us to dispatch the elite first, and you will lead the team to destroy the Linghua faction." ”

The old ghost Zhongli suddenly stopped doing it, glared at the beads of his eyes and roared, "Is it so cheap for the He family?" You must know that although the old guy of He Pinggang and you were both defeated last time, his injuries are obviously more serious than yours, and we want to destroy the Linghua faction, which is not something that can be done in a while, and now your injuries have healed with the assistance of this secret medicine, and He Pinggang's old ghost is definitely not yet, my injuries are sure to heal within half a year, and when the time comes, the He family will not be able to destroy it, so I think we should deal with the He family immediately! ”

"I'm just afraid that we will fight to the death with the He family, and we have given the Linghua faction time to develop and stabilize in vain, and when they grow further, it will be difficult for us to clean them up, after all, the pig of the Linghua faction has now been fattened." Dou Shiying said lightly.

Just when the old ghost Zhongli was about to open his mouth to argue, a neutral voice suddenly came from the side: "Master, uncle, can you listen to your disciple." ”

This is a man in his fifties with a good appearance, a burly figure, a slight look of pride between his eyebrows and eyes, but his face is not dignified, but his real age is more than two hundred years old, and this person is the current sect master of the Heavenly Desolation Sect - Liu Buyan.

"Needless to say, if you have something to say, just say it." Dou Shiying said gently.

"Master, the disciple thinks what the master said is reasonable." Liu Buyan said.

The old ghost Zhongli was very proud when he heard this, looking at this nephew who he had always felt a little dazzling, he felt a lot more pleasing to the eye, but Dou Shiying frowned and asked, "Why do you look like this?" ”

Liu Buyan said respectfully: "As Uncle Shi said just now, this is the time when the strength of the He family is the weakest, we just need to give a continuous blow, because He Pingzhang is not the opponent of the master, so He Pinggang will not have time to recover, and as long as the uncle recovers, we can give the He family a fatal blow, even if they can't completely destroy it, we must let them shrink in the nest and dare not come out to make trouble for us." ”

"On the contrary, if we deal with the Linghua faction now, with the mortal enmity between the He family and us, they will definitely stab us in the back, and when the time comes, the biggest possibility is that we have worked hard to make a wedding dress for others, and we are afraid that we will have to bear the losses that we can't afford, in that case, our Heavenly Desolate Sect will be in danger!"

The old ghost Zhongli laughed, patted Liu Buyan's shoulder heavily and said, "Okay, good boy, well said, haha~~~"

Dou Shiying was calm and calm, not seeing the slightest change in emotion, and after a while, he continued to ask: "Then, if we start a war with the He family, won't the Linghua faction make trouble behind our backs?" ”

The old ghost Zhongli glared at the bronze bell and shouted: "They dare, hum, if they come, it will be just what I want, and Lao Tzu will tell them to come and go!" ”

Liu Buyan smiled faintly and said: "They won't come, two tigers fight, the smartest thing for wolves is to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, to see if there is any benefit to be gained, and if they want to say that they will come in, they will never dare." ”

Dou Shiying pondered for another quarter of an hour before he slowly spoke: "Don't say anything, you tell you to go down and tell all the disciples to be ready, and in three months, we will attack the He family!" ”

"Why don't you sneak up and take them by surprise?" Old Ghost Zhongli asked.

Dou Shiying was silent, and just when the old ghost Zhongli was about to run away, Liu Buyan explained respectfully: "Uncle Shi, since we have already formed a mortal enemy, how can He Pingzhang not take precautions, I am afraid that a trap has been set for our possible sneak attacks, so we might as well attack it in such a dignified manner, when the time comes, it will be meaningless to make any negative arrangements for them or not, they can only fight us head-on, in that case, our winning side will be greater, and the loss will be smaller." ”

The old ghost Zhongli thought for a long time, shook his head violently, and said impatiently: "Hey~~ I don't understand, forget it, just do what you say." After speaking, he ignored Liu and went back to the quiet room to heal.

······

The He family, in a secret quiet room, He Pingzhang said to an old man sitting cross-legged on the ground: "Big brother, according to the insider report, the old ghost Zhongli has returned to the Heavenly Desolate Sect, and three days ago, Liu Buyan ordered the whole sect to prepare in the name of the sect master, and in three months, he will launch an attack on my He family. ”

"Hehe, the Heavenly Desolate Sect is really impatient, but it's understandable, after all, when did that Zhongli old ghost suffer such a big loss, well, are you sure you want to implement that plan?" He Pinggang asked.

He Pingzhang sneered and said: "That Liu Buyan has always been shrewd, they must have thought that we would make arrangements for their sneak attack, so they will blatantly launch a frontal attack, in this way, all our deployments are meaningless, I have to say that he is a clever move, but we have already seen through his plan, so, hehe, our next move must be to make him lose the Heavenly Desolate Sect before the battle, and it will be a big bad luck, hehe, give them a small blow to their morale first." ”

"You exchanged the soul for the old Zhongli ghost, and I'm afraid they'll use this poison on you." He Pinggang frowned.

"Well, if they sacrifice their lives with a guy in the helpless realm, they can indeed hurt me, which is indeed a bit troublesome." He Pingzhang also frowned.

"We still have an antidote, you can bring it, so that I can rest assured, you can't have an accident at this time." He Pinggang said.

"However, our antidote is extremely difficult to prepare, even if I extort a lot of medicinal materials from Old Ghost Zhongli this time, I may not be able to prepare another antidote." He Pingzhang said bitterly.

"Then what's the solution, as long as the person is fine, just wait for my injuries to heal, I can come out to help you, and when the time comes, the Heavenly Desolate Sect will not be able to abolish it." He Pinggang said.

"Big brother, your injuries are healing!?" He Pingzhang was pleasantly surprised.

"Well, I guess I will be able to heal in another half a year, last time Xuan'er and the others were in the training, they were lucky to get a miracle medicine, which shortened my recovery time of two years, hmph, last time I was plotted by that Dou Shiying in a despicable way, this time, I want to ask him to repay it twice!" He Pinggang gritted his teeth and said.

"It's a pity, we only have one Soul Killing Scatter, otherwise, give Zhongli old ghosts and them some, hum······" He Pingzhang snorted angrily.

"Okay, third brother, don't talk about those useless things, that killing soul can't be used as a last resort, okay, just prepare to go according to your plan." He Pinggang said.

Saying goodbye to his brother, He Pingzhang returned to his study and muttered: "Hehe, old ghost Zhongli, I want to make you angry this time that the new injury has not healed, and the old injury has recurred!" ”

······
