Chapter 377: The Assassination of Dongyue
"Brother, you just finished sending the Purple Cloth Realm Breaking Pill over there, and you are going to find Guan Lingling non-stop here, will you be a little lacking in skills?" Zhu Ting glanced at Lin Yang angrily, and then said:
"Although I have no objection to men being tricky, you shouldn't be so high-profile, right? It's true that I'm your sister, but I'm also Ziyi's best friend. ”
Lin Yang was so helpless, he sighed and said, "Sister, Zhao Ziyi and I haven't gotten a word yet, can you not be so stiff, okay?" ”
"There's a sister here, you've written this eight characters!" Zhu Ting's tone was very confident.
"Don't, don't mix it anymore, last night, because of your mixing, Zhao Ziyi treated me as a big radish." Lin Yang hurriedly waved his hand, and then fled from Zhu Ting quickly.
"Can you blame me for last night's incident? It's not your own provocation,......。 Zhu Ting was talking, but Lin Yang took a few big strides to Tang Menghe's side.
"Master, I won't follow you back to the sect, I still have one more thing to deal with." Lin Yang spoke slowly.
"You're okay too?" Tang Menghe frowned.
Lin Yang was puzzled and was about to ask, Tang Menghe continued: "Fang Cai, Hu Xianyong came over and said that he had something important to do, so he left first." ”
Lin Yang frowned, he knew that Hu Xianyong must have gone to find Guan Lingling.
"Hey, Hu Xianyong, Hu Xianyong, you're really worried about me." Lin Yang felt melancholy in his heart.
"Go and come back quickly, if the Extreme Yin Sect sends the spirit grass over, the sect is still waiting for you to refine the pill." Tang Menghe had a smile on his face.
"The co-head is afraid that he will run away from me." Lin Yang let out a long sigh, and then said: "Don't worry, the head of the family, after the matter is dealt with, I will rush back to Danxia Mountain immediately." ”
After Lin Yang and Qi Fengyang, Lan Yinfeng and Mei Yiliang and others finished greeting, they directly summoned the Wind Chasing Harrier and rode away with the wind.
……
Fenglin City is the second largest city in Dongyue, and the first city is the capital of Dongyue.
At this time, the clouds were shrouded in sorrow in Fenglin City, and the wind was loud.
Because, the army of Southern Chu is less than a hundred miles away from Fenglin City, and if it marches rapidly, it will arrive in one day.
Since the beginning of the war in Southern Chu, 600,000 elite troops have been like a bamboo, and they have even broken down 20 cities in Dongyue.
The Battle of Fenglin City was very important to both Southern Chu and Eastern Vietnam, and it could even be said to be a battle that could change the tide of the war.
The Dongyue royal family has mobilized all the forces that can be mobilized and gathered them all in Fenglin City, to start a decisive battle with Nanchu in Fenglin City.
The Lord's Mansion of Maple Grove City.
City Lord Xiao Xingyan was holding a meeting, which was attended by the senior generals of his subordinates and the heads of the three major families in Maple Grove City.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this battle is a matter of life and death for Maple Grove City. Southern Chu is powerful, and the strength is several times that of us, if it is a passive defense, Fenglin City will definitely not be able to hold it, and it is only a matter of time before the city is broken. Therefore, we must not sit idly by, but take the initiative to seek survival. Xiao Xingyan sat on the main seat, his eyes swept over everyone one by one, and then said:
"The leader of Southern Chu this time is Xiang Shaoyu, this person is the fourth prince of Southern Chu, and the great battles along the way in Southern Chu are all personally commanded and planned by this person. This person is resourceful, but his cultivation is only in the middle of the Yuanji Realm, if we can assassinate him, the army of Southern Chu will definitely be in chaos, and the crisis in Fenglin City will naturally be resolved. ”
Everyone changed color, Xiao Xingyan said easily, Xiang Shaoyu is a cultivator in the middle of Yuanji, but he is heavily guarded by an army of 500,000, and it is not easy to kill him.
"In this assassination operation, we will dispatch a total of ten powerhouses of the Hundred Spiral Realm. The royal family has already sent five Hundred Rotation Realm powerhouses to support Maple Grove City, our City Lord's Mansion has two more, and the remaining three Hundred Rotation Realm powerhouses, I hope that each of your three major families can send one. When Xiao Xingyan said this, he looked at the three people sitting opposite, two men and one woman, who were the heads of the three major families in Fenglin City.
The two men are both middle-aged, one fat and one thin, the fat one is Liang Siliang, the head of the Liang family, and the thin one is Cheng Shifa, the head of the Cheng family.
The remaining woman, with a gorgeous appearance and a wonderful figure, especially on her chest, is Guan Lingling, who is now the head of the Guan family, one of the three major families in Maple Grove City.
"City Lord Xiao, each of our three major families, each of them has only one Baixuan Realm Yuan Xiu, that is, our three family masters. You might as well just say that and let the three of us participate in the assassination. Liang Siliang had a straight face, and his tone was clearly a little displeased.
"This assassination will penetrate deep into the army of 600,000, and there will be many dangers. Moreover, there are countless strong people in Southern Chu, and Xiang Shaoyu is guarded by the powerhouses of the Tianlun Realm, even if we dispatch ten powerhouses of the Hundred Rotation Realm, it is tantamount to a moth fighting a fire, and nine deaths are live. Cheng Shifa frowned, obviously not wanting to participate in the assassination.
"The reason why our three major families are called the three major is because each of our three families has a Hundred Spiral Realm Yuan Xiu in charge. If we die in this assassination, our family's strength will surely plummet, and we will even be oppressed and swallowed up by those families who have always been jealous and coveted of us.
The three of us fought to protect Maple Grove City, but we put our own family in danger and went to fulfill other families. City Lord Xiao, this kind of thing, who is willing to do it? Liang Siliang took over the conversation again, his meaning was already very clear, and he almost refused Xiao Xingyan directly.
The reason why Liang Siliang dared to speak like this was because their Liang family had an in-law relationship with a certain powerful figure in the Dongyue royal family.
Xiao Xingyan seemed to have expected such a reaction from the three major families, smiled lightly, and said, "Liang family master, please rest assured, as long as Fenglin City can be defended, I guarantee that the status of the three of you in Fenglin City will not be shaken by half a point, and it is better than before!" ”
"City Lord Xiao, you still have to be realistic, if Fenglin City can be defended, with the credit of defending the city, you will definitely rise to prominence, and nine times out of ten you will be transferred out of Fenglin City. In this way, how can you guarantee the status of the three of us? Liang Siliang sneered.
"Master Liang, as you said, even if I am transferred out of Maple Grove City, I have been operating in Maple Grove City for many years, and the resources and connections I have left behind are enough to ensure the interests of the three of you." Xiao Xingyan's eyes narrowed slightly, and then said:
"It's very simple, if we don't assassinate us, Maple Grove City will definitely not be able to defend it. As soon as Maple Grove City was destroyed, my City Lord's Mansion and the families of the three of them bore the brunt. If we go to assassinate us, everyone will have a chance to survive.
Moreover, to tell you the truth with the three family masters, in fact, I invited the three of them over today, not to discuss with the three, but to inform the three of them that in this assassination, the three of you must send a Yuan Xiu from the Hundred Spinning Realm to come out. This is not Xiao's deliberate attempt to embarrass the three of them, but His Majesty's personal will! ”
Liang Siliang and Cheng Shifa's faces changed drastically, and they both fell silent.
"Master Guan, you haven't spoken, I want to hear your opinion." Xiao Xingyan looked at Guan Lingling.
At the same time, not only Xiao Xingyan looked at Guan Lingling, but everyone in the audience took the opportunity to look at her, and they all stared at this stunning woman who was rare to see on weekdays.
Guan Lingling is the head of the Guan family, cultivated to enter the Hundred Spirals Realm, and his appearance and posture are excellent in Fenglin City, and he is the goddess in the minds of the men in Fenglin City.
However, since Guan Lingling died of illness and took over the Guan family, she has always lived in seclusion and rarely appeared in public.
I don't know how many people are in the center of Fenglin City, but the vast majority of people almost can't see Guan Lingling.
Guan Ling Lingmei's eyes turned slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "I agree to participate in the assassination, but please make sure that City Lord Xiao fulfills his promise." ”
Xiao Xingyan laughed and said, "Master Guan, please rest assured, as long as I can defend Fenglin City, I, Xiao Xingyan, will definitely do my best to protect the status and interests of your Guan family in Fenglin City." ”
Liang Siliang and Cheng Shifa sighed one after another, the situation is stronger than people, and under the general trend, they also had to agree to join the assassination operation.
The three masters unanimously agreed, and Xiao Xingyan began to discuss the specific details of the assassination with everyone.
Fenglin City received information that the Southern Chu army was stationed in Wangying Yuan, eighty miles outside the city, and would open in five days and approach Fenglin City.
After some weighing, Xiao Xingyan decided to schedule the assassination on the evening of the third day.
When Guan Lingling returned to Guan's house, it was already dusk, and when the sedan chair was about to enter the gate of Guan's house, a stocky and honest young man strode up, it was Hu Xianyong.
The Guan family guarding the sedan chair immediately became vigilant, staring at Hu Xianyong one by one as if they were facing a great enemy, and several people stepped forward quickly to block Hu Xianyong.
"Stop!" The family members concerned shouted.
Hu Xianyong ignored the clansmen of the Guan family, and shouted happily towards the sedan chair: "Senior Sister Guan, it's me, Hu Xianyong." ”
The sedan curtain slowly opened, and Guan Lingling walked out of the sedan chair.
Seeing the same door again, Guan Lingling was overjoyed at first, but immediately restrained his smile and said softly: "Senior Brother Hu, why are you here?" ”
"Senior Sister Guan, I came with the sect to participate in the Yuandeng Mountain Meeting, I heard that Nanchu and Dongyue were fighting, I was worried about your safety, so as soon as the Yuandeng Mountain Meeting ended, I came to look for you." Hu Xianyong saw that Guan Lingling did not show resistance to himself, and the joy on his face became even stronger.
Guan Lingling also heard some news about the Yuandeng Mountain Meeting, and she originally intended to go to Yuandeng Mountain to help the sect, but because of the war with Nanchu, she couldn't get out.
"Senior Brother Hu, what is the result of the Yuandeng Mountain Meeting, has the sect won?" Guan Lingling looked concerned.
"Win, we have a big victory over the Extreme Yin Sect! Did you know that at that time,......。 Hu Xianyong was about to say that Lin Yang was powerful, but when he said this, he realized that this was not the time to mention Lin Yang, so he suddenly stopped.
"The sect has won!" Fortunately, Guan Lingling heard that the Danxia faction had won the Round Lantern Mountain Meeting, and when she was overjoyed, she didn't notice Hu Xianyong's strange appearance, her face showed joy, and then asked:
"What about the elders and fellow sects of the sect, have they gone back to Danxia Mountain?"
Hu Xianyong shook his head and said, "As soon as the Yuandeng Mountain Meeting ended, I rushed to Fenglin City non-stop, and I didn't know what was going on, so they should have gone back." ”
He was obviously unwilling to continue to talk about the Yuandeng Mountain Meeting, so he changed the topic and said in a deep voice: "Senior Sister Guan, now that the Southern Chu army is approaching Fenglin City, what are your plans?" It doesn't matter if you stay behind or retreat, as long as I can help, you can tell me. ”
After finishing speaking, Hu Xianyong stared at Guan Lingling with a look of hope.
He thought that at such a time of crisis, he would come all the way to help him, which would definitely move Guan Lingling, and even have a good impression of himself.
Guan Lingling was silent, she felt Hu Xianyong's sincere love for her, but she had no intention of falling flowers, she already had a place in her heart.
"Senior Sister Guan, don't be polite to me, for your sake, I am willing to go up the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire, and I will never give up!" Hu Xianyong's tone was sincere, and his eyes were fiery.
His remarks were tantamount to a confession, and he confessed in front of everyone.
The last time Hu Xianyong confessed to Guan Lingling was at the Danxia faction's Zhuri Peak, and that time there were only two of them, and Guan Lingling politely rejected him.
Now, Hu Xianyong confessed again, his courage and determination were stronger than the last time, and after he confessed, he looked at Guan Lingling with a look of hope.
It's just that the joy on Guan Lingling's face disappeared, she raised her head, looked directly at Hu Xianyong, and said in a very flat tone: "Senior Brother Hu, Nanchu may attack the city at any time, it's not safe here, you can leave quickly." ”
The eagerness in Hu Xianyong's eyes suddenly dissipated, he was clearly a little flustered, and hurriedly said, "Senior Sister Guan, I'm not leaving, I'm here to help you." ”
Guan Lingling sighed lightly and said, "Senior Brother Hu, with your current strength, you can't help me at all. ”
After speaking, Guan Lingling slowly activated the Yuan Force, and the Yuan Force fluctuations slowly spread.
"Hundred Spiral Realm!"
Hu Xianyong exclaimed in surprise, he didn't expect that Guan Lingling had already advanced to the Hundred Spirals Realm one step ahead of him.
The Baixuan Realm and the Yuanji Realm are only different in one realm, and their strength is very different.
He knew that Guan Lingling was right, he really couldn't help Guan Lingling now.
Suddenly, Hu Xianyong, who was still full of joy, became depressed.
Guan Lingling seemed a little unbearable when she saw Hu Xianyong's appearance, but after a little hesitation, she turned around and entered the sedan chair and said coldly: "Enter the mansion." ”
Immediately, the sedan chair entered the Guan family, leaving only Hu Xianyong standing there in a distracted manner.
……
From Yuandeng Mountain to Fenglin City, the places to be passed along the way have become the occupied areas of Southern Chu at this time, and there are broken walls and ruins everywhere along the way, and the people are displaced.
Lin Yang rode the Wind Chasing Harrier, and it stands to reason that he arrived in Fenglin City before Hu Xianyong.
It's just that Lin Yang met an old acquaintance on the road and was delayed.
Because the wind chasing harrier is too eye-catching, Lin Yang tries to avoid villages and towns.
On this day, he was approaching a pass, and the Tianhe Hu and the Heavenly Punishment True Flame in the Yuan Ji were agitated together.
Lin Yang was too familiar with this kind of restlessness, and only when they sensed the Dark Alliance's Holy Flame would they react like this.
So, Lin Yang immediately put away the wind chasing harrier, gathered the breath of his whole body, and quietly touched towards the pass.
At the same time, Lin Yang did not forget to let Tianhuo Zhenyan restrain his own breath. The Heavenly Fire True Flame has the ability of both the Holy Flame and the Purple Spirit Earth Fire, and if it does not restrain its aura, it will also be sensed by other Holy Flames.
The pass had obviously experienced a great battle not long ago, the walls guarding the pass had collapsed, and there were traces of fire everywhere, and there were many broken weapons scattered on the ground that had time to be taken away, and the smell of blood in the air was still very strong.
Lin Yang quietly came to a high point, hiding behind a boulder, which overlooked the entire pass.
I saw that in front of the pass, there was a person wrapped in a black robe, holding a pitch-black bead in his hand, chanting words in his mouth, drawing and printing with one hand, and there was a white mist-like thing around the pass that was sucked into the pitch-black bead.
"Soul Lock Orb!"
Lin Yang recognized the pitch-black beads at a glance, at the beginning, he had obtained the soul lock beads on Chen Shu in the Jade Bone Mountain of Changguo and Shi Jingtian in the Brown Stone Island.
The people of the Dark Alliance use the Soul Lock Bead to refine their souls in order to feed and strengthen their holy flames.
Lin Yang's eyes grew cold, and killing intent rose in his heart, but he didn't act immediately, because he sensed that the Yuan Power fluctuations emitted by this person were not weak, and he was actually a powerhouse in the Heavenly Wheel Realm. The Heavenly Wheel Realm is in Qianzhou, and it is already a top combat power.
Lin Yang was still a long way from the black-robed man at this time, and if he acted rashly, he would probably let the other party escape. He had to get a little closer, not giving the other party the slightest chance to escape.
At the same time, Lin Yang sensed that the holy flame in this person's body was the size of a goose egg, and it was extremely rich, it was a four-star secret envoy of the Dark Alliance, and it was not far from the five-star secret envoy.
"Since Xu Yinian and the other three flame hunters came to Qianzhou from Zhongzhou, the Dark Alliance has been defeated and retreated in the battle with the Ten Great Sects of Qianzhou, and it has disappeared later. I thought they had withdrawn from Qianzhou, but I didn't expect that there were still remnants of the party, and they were still a big fish, I would capture and kill you today! Lin Yang stared coldly at the black-robed man, waiting for the best time to make a move.
Because he wanted to collect the dead soul, the black-robed man kept walking and stopping in front of the pass, getting closer and closer to the boulder where Lin Yang was hiding, completely unaware that he was walking towards hell step by step.
Finally, the black-robed man came to a position less than ten meters away from the boulder, and was concentrating on collecting the remnants of the battlefield that were in a state of confusion.
Suddenly, a figure from behind the boulder jumped out at great speed, scaring the black-robed man so much that he almost threw away the soul lock bead in his hand.
However, the black-robed man reacted extremely quickly, put away the soul lock bead as soon as possible, and at the same time performed the teleportation technique.
The person who jumped out from behind the boulder was naturally Lin Yang, and when he saw the black-robed man teleporting away, he also activated the teleportation without hesitation.
When Lin Yang emerged from the teleportation, he saw the black-robed man quickly stretching out his hand towards him, and a pitch-black flame the size of a goose egg was beating in his palm, which was the Holy Flame.
"Trying to plot against the envoy is simply not knowing whether to live or die!" The black-robed man's voice was cold and piercing.
This person also seemed to realize that Lin Yang was not simple, and he used the Holy Flame as soon as he made a move. As he spoke, the holy flame in his hand flew out at great speed, aiming directly at Lin Yang.
