Chapter 17: Conspiracy
It turned out that when Ning Hongyuan and Zhuge Zilai were separated before, Zhuge Zilai stepped away in the southeast direction, making Ning Hongyuan think that Zhuge Zilai had already implemented the infiltration plan in the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.
And now that Zhuge is standing in front of him alive, how can this not surprise and delight him?
You must know that the next stage is Ning Hongyuan, for a man like him, the encouragement between brothers is far more exciting than love.
Any world is the same, but all men who have the ability to put friendship in the first place are by no means love, and the martial arts world is such a passionate world, even more so, even more so that even most of the outstanding and outstanding women also have a friendship of life and death, which comes from the cultural heritage of the martial arts world.
If you've been on the battlefield, you know what friendship between men is.
At this moment, Ning Hongyuan's mood was more excited, more enthusiastic, and more surging than when Yu'er came to encourage him just now, if Fang Cai'er's encouragement was like a breeze at the end of summer, so beautiful, so gentle, then Zhuge Zilai's sudden appearance was like a crashing wave, which could not be calmed down in his heart for a long time.
This kind of friendship is not a table of wine and meat, but a common goal for each other, and it is a deep friendship that has been exchanged for each other as rivals again and again.
Only men who truly experience this kind of taste can use their souls to understand and enjoy it with their hearts.
Zhuge Zilai saw Ning Hongyuan's surprised look, but he smiled proudly, and then turned to Ning Hongyuan and pretended to be cold, "Why, you don't seem to welcome me? I'll come to see you break through the martial realm again, what's the matter?"
Ning Hongyuan knew that he was deliberately making fun of himself, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "You are right, you and I are already brothers in a pair of pants, how can I not welcome you! Hey, to get down to business, how can you come back!"
Zhuge Zilai laughed proudly when he heard this, and then patted Ning Hongyuan on the shoulder, "In the past few days, the Ten Thousand Swords Sect has undergone earth-shaking changes one after another, don't you know?"
Ning Hongyuan took a few steps forward, "I also heard about me, I heard that the elixir leader of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect seemed to want to plan a new round of rebellion a few days ago, intending to oust the Shadowless Old Man from power, and finally end up in a different place! Your previous plan must have been broken by such a drastic change, so you have to come back and plan again!"
Ning Hongyuan suddenly realized, and looked at Zhuge Zilai with both eyes, "So that's the case." ”
Zhuge Zilai smiled lightly, "I thought that you only knew about cultivating the martial realm all day long, or rather, in addition to cultivating the martial realm, you were entangled with your jade and didn't hear about the world's major events." ”
Ning Hongyuan smiled bitterly, and replied apologetically: "Don't make fun of me like this, I remember that I once argued with you about this matter, to be honest, I really didn't want to get into such a dispute before, at that time I stubbornly thought that if I helped my father rule the world, I had to harm others, and now I think about it, it's really pedantic!"
"If you can think like this, it also proves that I didn't make a mistake with your brother! Since you have figured out this question, why are you at a loss just now? Now it is less than half an hour before the grand event, and after the sect master improvises some speeches, it will be your turn to play, do you still have doubts about your own re-breakthrough in the martial realm?" Zhuge Zilai said.
Ning Hongyuan shook his head and took a small step forward, but he didn't answer in a hurry.
Zhuge Zilai also followed him and took a step forward, "I know that the last time you failed to break through the martial realm, there must be a reason, I only know your strength, not to mention the swordsman realm, the strength of the eighth stage of the swordsman is there, and the one who broke through the eighth stage of the swordsman at the age of twenty-five is very rare in the history of this heavenly domain!"
Ning Hongyuan turned his head and smiled bitterly, "Don't make fun of me, we are just each other, your strength, I don't know yet? What kind of genius is this twenty-five-year-old breakthrough swordsman eighth stage, these words, that is for naïve young people, in this martial arts world, real geniuses are good at hiding their true strength, and they will not show it around, otherwise it will bring unnecessary disasters and affect their martial realm retreat! Your current strength is probably already in the swordsman realm! I fought with you that day, and your body skills, as well as the flexibility of your sword moves, have obviously reached the level of a swordsman, just to hide people's eyes, you don't want to announce it to the outside world!"
Zhuge Lai had no choice but to sigh, and then laughed, "I hid it so well, I was actually discovered by you, it seems that I didn't stop competing with you that day, in fact, I don't want to hide it from you and the sect master, but my future path does not allow me to show myself to the outside world like you, this is the law of darkness, you must not say it, and I hope you don't mention this to the sect master, saying that I have broken through the swordsman realm at the age of twenty-five!"
Ning Hongyuan's face was full of doubts, "Why can't even my father know?"
Zhuge Zilai said with a straight face: "If the sect master knows, I am afraid he will not let me go to be a spy of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, he, a leader who cherishes talents so much, will he make such an arrangement and prohibit me from going to the Ten Thousand Swords Sect to become a spy again, this, you should be able to figure it out!"
Ning Hongyuan nodded understandingly.
Not to mention, my father is a person who attaches great importance to talents, and he abandoned the town before and used the thousands of lives in this town as a pawn, without arranging for any one of the "shadows" to save it, which is a living example.
10,000 ordinary people to change talents, in the face of such a deal, Ning Hongyuan will definitely be in a dilemma, and even flatly refuse, but he knows very well that his father will definitely make a decision immediately, not to mention 10,000, 20,000 fathers must be willing.
As long as it is a talent, or even 50,000 people, my father will definitely be willing.
At this point, it is the biggest difference between Ning Hongyuan and his father about "people".
As for why my father changed from a "chivalrous man" who was once a philanthropic to such a "strategist" now, there must be very painful memories in it, which made my father despise "people" so much and attach so much importance to "talents".
Thinking of this, Ning Hongyuan couldn't help but say in his heart: "If my father really knew that Zhuge Zilai had broken through the swordsman realm at the age of twenty-six, I am afraid that with my father's character, it would be impossible for him to be allowed to go to the Divine Sword Sect, and he would even send someone to protect him in all directions!"
"Figured it out. Zhuge Zilai saw him pondering and continued to ask.
Ning Hongyuan nodded at Zhuge Zilai, "I also understand this truth, in fact, to be honest, I envy you, you don't have to be in such a storm, but you also seem free!"
At this moment, the "Divine Sword Altar" had already sounded with the loud sound of a pendulum, which meant that the conference was about to begin.
When the third pendulum sounded, Ning Hongyuan had to go to the center of the stage and hear his father give an impromptu speech.
Zhuge Zilai naturally didn't just come to encourage Ning Hongyuan, but he saw that his face suddenly became extremely serious, and he said loudly to Ning Hongyuan: "Don't talk too much, you also know very well what kind of difficulties you will encounter next! Those troublesome thorns will make things difficult for you in every way, and even in this conference, you will be in danger of your life!"
Hearing the last word "life is dangerous", Ning Hongyuan's face was a little surprised, and he immediately took a step forward, his face suddenly became extremely serious, and said: "Life is in danger? It's so serious, I know what you mean, you mean that there are many thorns who disguise themselves as under the age of twenty-five, and when they start a competition in the ring, they humiliate me in front of so many people, but is the matter so serious? This is the territory of the Divine Sword Sect, they don't want to take my life in front of my father, isn't this self-defeating!"
Zhuge Zilai's face instantly darkened, "Don't you know much about military affairs, don't you know that the division is famous? Don't you know that now our Divine Sword Sect has a unique elixir base, which is the lamb that most of the Martial Sects in this Heavenly Domain want to replace, but now no one side has launched an offensive, do you know why?"
Ning Hongyuan suddenly realized and said, "They didn't have the opportunity to become famous, so they didn't attack my Divine Sword Sect, but what does this have to do with killing me?"
After thinking about it for a long time, Ning Hongyuan still couldn't come up with a reason for what the relationship existed between the two.
Not to mention that Ning Hongyuan couldn't think of it, even if he was a wise eldest brother, he would definitely not be able to think of what kind of connection existed between the two at this moment.
If you go to someone else's ring to challenge, you can hold a ring competition on your own territory, and someone will put yourself to death in front of so many people, which is too arrogant!
It must be known that the strength of his father was feared by the emperor, and it would be okay for these people to assassinate themselves outside the Divine Sword Sect, if they put themselves to death in front of their father, wouldn't they be afraid that their father would be furious and use secret techniques to make them go and have no return, and even torture them to the point that life is worse than death?
Ning Hongyuan really couldn't figure it out, and pondered it over and over again in his mind, but he just couldn't figure out why.
What kind of conspiracy is there?
Zhuge Zilai saw that he was so "stubborn", so he had to sigh, "It seems that you really have to cultivate the martial arts realm wholeheartedly, and you can't even use your brain, forget it, these complex struggles are not your strong point, I'll explain the words, think about it, if you are really killed in the ring by those disguised old guys, who is the most painful!"
"Of course it's my parents!" Ning Hongyuan replied categorically.
Zhuge Zilai patted Ning Hongyuan on the shoulder, "If you really die in this Martial Realm Conference, will your father be furious? If the sect master is furious, with the strength of the sect master, will this ring competition become a slaughterhouse? If the sect master is carried away by anger because of your death, will he regard these foreign guests as enemies?" In this way, this was originally a martial arts realm conference to recruit talents and attract investment, and it became a slaughterhouse alive, if that was really the case, what would happen to the Divine Sword Sect, don't you know in your own heart? Even if the sect master has the power to reach the heavens, he will not be able to compete with everyone, and at that time, those hostile forces that previously coveted the abundant spiritual grass resources of my Divine Sword Sect will have a banner that commands the world and divide and eat my Divine Sword Sect, these stakes, now you should understand! As far as they are concerned, if your death can be exchanged for the monstrous wrath of the Divine Sword Sect Master, they are more than willing to give it a try!"
Ning Hongyuan heard Zhuge Zilai's remarks, and then suddenly realized, "I didn't expect that there was so much water in it!"
"Actually, there are pros and cons to your original suggestion, I won't talk about the pros, the disadvantages are here, but if you can survive this catastrophe, my Divine Sword Sect will grow stronger because of this, and heroes from all over the world will also come here!"
"It looks like this is another game of life and death!"
Zhuge nodded knowingly, "Even I suspect that those old immortals will come in person, these are some clues that I have obtained through various intelligences before, so you must be extremely vigilant later, although the sect master said that no one will be allowed to interfere until the last resort, but I have been prepared for this!"
Ning Hongyuan's face was full of joy when he heard this, and before Zhuge could finish speaking, he hurriedly said, "What preparations?"
"Have you ever been in contact with a woman named Moon Poison Fairy before?"
"Yes, now that she has also come to the Divine Sword Sect, she is not a bad woman. Ning Hongyuan said so eagerly, but it seemed a little more vinegary.
"I didn't say he's a bad person, why are you so excited? I admit she's good, but don't eat from the bowl and look at the pot. Speaking of this, I saw Zhuge Zilai hammer Ning Hongyuan's chest fiercely.
