The imperial capital of the Tianxiang Empire, a huge floating island slowly floats in mid-air, with antique houses, jungles and lakes, as well as all kinds of human figures flickering, as peaceful and serene as a paradise.

As you wind your way along the island, you will find yourself in a lush forest with a huge blue water in the middle of the winding path of the island, surrounded by more and more green trees.

On the edge of the lake stands a towering mountain, a stone staircase leads to the highest point, around which a classical complex of buildings has been built, and at the foot of the mountain is a heavy stone tablet with two large characters written on it, "Zhuge ".

On the edge of the blue lake, there is a small pavilion with stone tables and chairs, and a man in black and white clothes is standing on the edge of the pavilion, holding a handful of fish feed in his hand, and from time to time sprinkling some into the lake to feed the koi fish that are churning in the lake.

A capable man walked briskly from a distance, saluted respectfully to the man in fancy clothes, and said, "Tell the master of the house, the guests have arrived." ”

"I see. The man in the costume nodded and said, "Please come here." ”

"Haha, Brother Zhuge , it's been a long time. A hearty laugh came from a distance, and a middle-aged man in a white and gold robe walked towards the lakeside pavilion, followed by two people with amazing abilities.

"Master of the Situ family. The man in the fancy costume turned around and saluted with a fist at the comer.

"The head of the family is polite, what do we have to do with it, just call the elder brother. The head of the Situ family laughed and said, "Haven't the others arrived yet?"

The head of the Zhuge family nodded, and said with a smile: "Not yet, but soon." ”

"But what is the reason that Brother Xian called me this time? I didn't say anything in the correspondence before. The head of the Situ family spoke.

"Naturally, there are important matters to discuss with the heads of all parties. The head of the Zhuge family said softly, "Everyone will explain in a while." Then he rushed outside to find his hand, and several well-dressed maids walked in and served wine and food to the master of the Situ family.

"Then I'll just wait a minute. The head of the Situ family smiled, took a sip of the wine glass in front of him, and exclaimed, "Good wine!"

"Who's secretly drinking and not calling me?" another voice sounded from a distance, and a man in a blue robe walked over, with a turbulent mist rolling in his eyes and a smile on his lips.

"Brother Mu. The head of the Zhuge family greeted him with a smile, "Please inside." ”

"Then you're welcome. The head of the Mu family smiled and arched his hand at the head of the Situ family, "The head of the Situ family." ”

"You're welcome. The head of the Situ family also returned the salute, but he did not get up, and drank the wine in his cup by himself.

"Who else hasn't arrived?" asked the head of the Mu family softly.

"There are two other people who are the furthest away, and I guess it will take some time, so let's sit down and have some drinks first." The head of the Zhuge family beckoned the head of the Mu family to sit down, and the maids also served wine jugs and delicacies.

"This back garden of the head of the Zhuge family is really enviable. The head of the Situ family said with a chuckle, his eyes swept over the lake in front of him, and the corners of his mouth were smiling.

"Brother Situ praised it falsely, compared to the magnificence of the Situ family, I am simply a farm here. The head of the Zhuge family laughed, grabbed a piece of snack from the plate in front of him and stuffed it into his mouth.

"The head of the Zhuge family said with a smile, I am also envious of this place. Another figure sounded from a distance, and two middle-aged men walked over, followed by four heavily armed capable people to escort them.

"The head of the Zhao family, the head of the Liu family, welcome!" The head of the Zhuge family immediately greeted him and greeted the arrival of the last two family heads, so far the heads of the five top families of the Tianxiang Empire gathered together, and everyone here went out to be a well-known big man, either in an important position, or in control of a huge force.

"Mr. Zhuge can you say it now, what is the matter with calling a few of us here?" said the head of the Situ family with a chuckle.

"There's a copy here, because there's no electronic backup because it's so important, just the five paper copies in front of me. The head of the Zhuge family beckoned the attendants to hand over a thick piece of information to each family master, "The content of this can be divided into three parts, each part must be of interest to you, and we can work together." ”

"Oh, then I'm going to take a look. The head of the Zhao family opened the information in front of him and looked at it carefully, "If you don't have a little gain, wouldn't it be a trip in vain?"

"Sword Tomb?" said the head of the Mu family in surprise, "Does this place really exist, I thought it was just a rumor that could not be verified." ”

"As it turns out, this is where it really is. The head of the Zhuge family smiled, "And I have already sent a few capable people to investigate, although there is no specific news so far, but that place has been verified." ”

"Interesting. The head of the Situ family touched his chin and said, "According to legend, the sword weapons in the sword tomb are all amazingly powerful, and this is a great fortune. ”

"How did you get this news?" the head of the Zhao family asked as he stared at the head of the Zhuge family.

"Worked it out. The head of the Zhuge family said lightly, not planning to say anything more on this topic, "You can take a look at the last two pieces of information." ”

"Ethereal Sword Peak, isn't this the Jialan Realm?" the head of the Liu family said a little strangely, "What's wrong with that place?"

"It can't be. The head of the Situ family was the first to object to the authenticity of this news, "It's not that we didn't spend our efforts on the Ethereal Sword Peak at the beginning, but in the end we got nothing, not to mention the figure of the god general, we didn't even see a fart." ”

"Ethereal Sword Peak is at the northernmost point of Garan, where there are few people to visit. "But there is still a vast land in the northernmost north of Jialan, which is called no man's land. ”

"You mean that the gods will hide in no man's land, why?" said the head of the Mu family, with a deep groan, "since he is still alive, why doesn't he return to Jialan?"

"The exact reason remains to be verified, but you all should remember the news. The head of the Zhuge family smiled and said, "The first god general of the continent disappeared at the top of the sword peak with the secret treasure, since the trace of the god general has appeared, then ......"

Then the priceless secret treasure naturally appeared at the same time. The head of the Situ family had a twinkle in his eyes and said softly, "I didn't expect to hear two amazing news today, and they are all related to amazing treasures." ”

"It's just that every treasure is not so easy to obtain. The head of the Liu family frowned and said, "You may need to pay a huge price, the Sword Tomb is easy to say, it is a wilderness and borderless land after all, and it is difficult for the rest of the empires to intervene, but the matter of the Ethereal Sword Peak is not easy to handle, and the relationship between us and Jia Lan is already very tense." ”

"Naturally, we need to think about it in the long run, and today I will share this information with you. The head of the Zhuge family said with deep meaning in his eyes, "Why don't you take a look at the third piece of information?"

"This ...... This is?" The head of the Situ family widened his eyes and stared at the information in his hand, with a look of disbelief in his eyes, "Is this true?"

"The level of intelligence reliability is high. The head of the Zhuge family said softly, "I won't joke about this kind of thing, I specially divined for this, and I saw a vague corner of the future, and I won't make mistakes." ”

"I can still trust the divination technique of the head of the Zhuge family. The head of the Mu family said with a chuckle, but there was no smile in his eyes, but there was a cold killing intent rolling, "The third door that is about to appear in the world, this is really a bombshell." ”

"This has risen to the level of a feud between empires, and it will be difficult for the five of us to intervene. The head of the Liu family said with some pessimism, "It is estimated that I have already heard the news of the giant gate. ”

"It's not my style to seek wealth and danger, and it's not my style to fight for it. The head of the Situ family said lightly.

"Yes, but it's not a sloppy matter. The head of the Zhao family echoed on the side, "You need to carefully formulate a practical plan." ”

"You might as well leave the planning to you. The head of the Zhuge family smiled, "I will definitely not disappoint you." ”

"It's been a long time since we've worked together and I'm looking forward to it. The head of the Situ family said with a chuckle.

"It's better to be cautious. The head of the Mu family reminded in a low voice, "If it touches the interests of the empire, it is best not to interfere." ”

"Don't worry, I'll definitely come up with a plan that will satisfy everyone. The head of the Zhuge family said with a chuckle, looking confident.

The other four family masters did not have any objection to this, they all knew that the Zhuge family master's wisdom was almost the best in the world, if even he had no way, then it could only be said that these treasures really had nothing to do with them.

"I have set up a banquet at the lakeside seat, please be sure to appreciate your faces. The head of the Zhuge family chuckled and said, "Please take a seat first, and I will arrive later." ”

"Well, I never say no to good food and wine. The head of the Situ family laughed and said, "Please, everyone." He waved his palm and made a gesture of please.

"Then you're welcome. The head of the Mu family smiled, and the four prominent heads of the family slowly walked out of the lakeside pavilion and walked towards the elegant seat, talking and laughing as they walked.

The head of the Zhuge family smiled and watched several family heads slowly walk away, the smile on his face gradually converged, and he muttered softly: "The stage has been set up, just waiting for a few horns to enter and start singing." ”

"Are you all ready?" a voice sounded beside the Zhuge family master.

The head of the Zhuge family turned his head to look, and a vague looming figure was floating in front of him, he bowed slightly and said softly: "Lord Hui, all preparations have been made, as for whether the sword tomb side still has to follow the original plan." ”

"Of course, from time to time, send me some capable people, and that kid's progress can be faster. The vague figure said lightly, "As for the matter on the side of the Ethereal Sword Peak, you can take it slowly, it can't be solved in a while, whether it's a god general or a giant gate, a rash move will only cause trouble." ”

"The subordinate understood. The head of the Zhuge family replied respectfully.

"You're doing a good job, and then it's okay to follow the plan. The vague figure whispered, "I'll let you know if there's something." ”

"Yes. ”

When the words fell, the blurred figure lit up with pitch-black space fluctuations, and then the figure slowly disappeared, leaving only the head of the Zhuge family standing alone by the lake, with a meaningful light flashing in his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
