On the third day of October, the Jade Dragon Palace of the Tianshan Mountains.

Early in the morning, the disciples of the Three Banners and Twelve Halls of the Jade Dragon Palace, headed by Ding Ao and Dong Xiao'er, all dressed in linen and filial piety, gathered in Datianchi to send Ren Wuya on his last journey.

Since they could not collect the body for Ren Wuya, they could only build a tomb for him as a tribute.

Today, the inside and outside of the Jade Dragon Palace were plain white, and tens of thousands of disciples looked solemn and full of indignation.

Directly ahead, a big word "Dian" is cold and ruthless, and the sad breath is diffused in the air, making the mountains and rivers gloomy, the sun and the moon dim, and the heavens and the earth moved.

Ding Ao, who was dressed in filial piety, knelt in front of the disciples, today he changed his usual debauchery and banter, his face was solemn, his eyes were deep, a pair of old eyes stared at Ren Wuya's tombstone, and his body exuded an aura of resentment that people did not dare to approach easily.

Dong Xiao'er knelt behind Ding Ao, and her complicated gaze fell on the motionless Ding Ao from time to time, and she wanted to speak several times, and saw that Ding Ao was full of sadness, and finally failed to spit out half a word.

"Palace Master, Ding Ao and all his disciples will come together to see off your old man for the last time. In the midst of the green smoke, Ding Ao slowly spoke word by word: "Participating in the martial arts conference is a trivial matter, but who knew that the palace master would never return, and he ended up with hatred." ”

As for this, Ding Aotong's red eyes couldn't help but overflow with a trace of tears.

"As soon as the palace master goes, the prestige of the Tianshan Jade Dragon Palace is not there, and the domineering spirit is gone, so I will wait for the disciples...... If you have no more to rely on, you will only be bullied and trampled on in the future. Ding Ao gritted his teeth and said, "Luo Tianjin, a shameless dog thief who is pretentious and famous, and deceives the world and steals his name, actually has a honey-bellied sword, crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, which is really the anger of people and gods, and heaven does not tolerate it! Today, I, Ding Ao, led tens of thousands of disciples of the Jade Dragon Palace of Tianshan Mountain to swear to the sky, and we will not share the sky with Luo Tianjin, and we will not avenge the palace master for a day, and refuse to give up for a day. If there is a violation, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed, and the five thunders will hit the top!"

"If you don't take revenge, you won't give up!"

"If you don't protect this revenge, you won't give up! If you don't protect this revenge, you won't give up! If you don't protect this revenge, you won't give up......

With Dong Xiao'er's coquettish shout, tens of thousands of disciples shouted in unison.

For a time, the earth was shaken, shaking through the nine heavens, the cold mountains of the Tianshan Mountains continued, and the top of the jade dragon echoed endlessly.

After a generous speech, the disciples of the Jade Dragon Palace, who were in a heavy mood, stepped forward in an orderly manner and bowed to Ren Wuya.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Dong Xiao'er invited Ding Ao to a secluded place on the side and asked in a low voice, "Master Ding Qi, how did I consider the matter I discussed with you?"

Hearing this, Ding Ao was stunned for a moment, the grief on his face gradually turned into suspicion, and he asked rhetorically: "Master Dong Qi, do you really believe Jin Fuyu?" to him...... Not the slightest doubt?"

"What do you mean by this?" Dong Xiao'er frowned slightly, and said unhappily, "Could it be that you suspect me of conspiring with Jin Fuyu?"

"Of course not. Ding Ao shook his head and said, "Lord Dong Qi is deeply favored by the palace master, and he has a deep affection for his old man, how can he conspire with Jin Fuyu......?"

"Just what?" Seeing Ding Ao stumbling, Dong Xiao'er couldn't help but look anxious.

"It's just that I have concerns about the ambitions of Luo Tianjin and Jin Fuyu. Ding Ao said bluntly, "It's true that Luo Tianjin is a hypocrite, but what about Jin Fuyu? Who can guarantee that he is not a villain who harbors evil intentions and deceives the public?"

"Lord Ding Qi's words are wrong! The rivers and lakes are sinister, and how many of them can become the overlords of one side are real gentlemen? Jin Fuyu is certainly cunning, but it is obvious to all that he and Luo Tianjin are incompatible. Now, even the palace master and his old man are planted in the hands of Luo Tianjin, not to mention you and me? Looking at the entire rivers and lakes, only Jin Fuyu is left who has the courage, opportunity, and ability to compete with Luo Tianjin. Even Longxiang Mountain and Desperate Valley were pulled into their camp by Luo Tianjin, and with only you and me, there was no chance of turning over. ”

"What if Jin Fuyu is the second Luo Tianjin? Ding Ao said in his words, "At least, we now have the Tianshan Jade Dragon Palace, countless gold, silver and jewelry, the power of life and death in several towns, and even tens of thousands of disciples......"

"Wait!" Dong Xiao'er interrupted, "You said this...... What does that mean?"

"Master Dong Qi, do you really not understand?" or are you pretending to be confused?" Ding Ao raised his eyebrows and asked rhetorically, "Everything I just said is a treasure left to us by the palace master and his old man. These things are enough to surpass many sects in the Central Plains. In that case, why should we commit ourselves to others?"

"What do you mean......"

"Since Master Dong Qi has to ask the old man to make his words clear, then I will simply get straight to the point. Ding Ao's expression was bright, and he said, "Right now, we have money, people, and land, why don't we set up our own doors? Why give everything to Jin Fuyu?"

"If we don't join forces with Jin Fuyu, how can Luo Tianjin let us go? Master Ding Qi, don't you think that if we change our name casually, we can get away with it in front of Luo Tianjin, right?"

"Why do you need to be confused?" Ding Ao said stubbornly, "The Jade Dragon Palace is far away in the Western Regions, and the old man doesn't believe that he Luo Tianjin can really lead people to kill here thousands of miles." Master Dong Qi, if you want to kill your own prestige, even if we shrink into a corner, it is better than becoming fish on someone's board. The old man thought that he would rather have a head than a phoenix tail. I'd rather stay here and be the king of the mountain than go to the Central Plains to grovel to Jin Fuyu. ”

"Master Ding, you underestimate Luo Tianjin's ability too much. Dong Xiao'er retorted, "He is now the leader of the martial arts alliance, and he is difficult to chase after his words." If we fight against it, Luo Tianjin will definitely destroy us at all costs in order to save face. Don't say that it is thousands of miles away, even if it is thousands of miles away, he will not be soft-hearted. ”

"So what?" Ding Ao said contemptuously, "There is a saying that 'a strong dragon is difficult to suppress the head snake'. In our territory, how can he be allowed to be reckless as an outsider? Just come and kill one and kill one, and kill two and a pair. ”

"Lord Ding Qi is really a big breath!" Dong Xiao'er sneered, "It doesn't matter if Luo Tianjin is a 'strong dragon' or not, just in the Western Regions, can you and I really be regarded as 'earth snakes'?"

Ding Ao was stunned and said, "What do you mean by this?"

"As far as I know, the first time Lord Ding Qi and Liu Xunyi got acquainted with each other, it was because the King of Shaoqin made a bridge from it. Dong Xiao'er sneered, "Dare to ask Lord Ding Qi, is the King of Shaoqin close to you, or is he close to Luo Tianjin?"

"This ......" was asked by Dong Xiao'er like this, Ding Ao couldn't help frowning, and reluctantly embarrassed, "In the past, he may have been closer to me, but now Luo Tianjin is the leader of the martial arts alliance, on the other hand, the Jade Dragon Palace of Tianshan Mountain is a group of dragons without a leader, and his vitality is greatly damaged." Under the elimination of one and the other, it must be in the heart of King Shaoqin...... My weight is far inferior to Luo Tianjin. ”

Dong Xiao'er joked: "Tianshan is thousands of miles away for Luo Tianjin, but for King Shaoqin...... But it's so close. The power of the King of Shaoqin in the Western Regions, I don't need to say it, Lord Ding Qi knows it. With him one day, when will it be the turn of you and me for the 'Earth Snake'? Just imagine, if Luo Tianjin asks the King of Shaoqin to deal with us, dare to ask Lord Ding Qi with these treasures left to us by the palace master...... How many more days can you resist?"

"This ......"

"What's more, even the treasures left by the palace master don't all belong to you and me. Dong Xiao'er struck while the iron was hot, and said loudly, "Although we keep saying that there are tens of thousands of disciples, in the Tianshan Jade Dragon Palace, apart from the palace master and his old man, who can still suppress these disciples? Back then, the palace master divided the three banners and twelve halls in order to prevent someone from usurping power, and the three banners and twelve halls went their own way and checked and balanced each other. To this day, I am afraid that the only one who is truly loyal to you is Jin Lin, and as for the other disciples, how can they listen to your orders?"

"Therefore you and I join forces. Ding Ao said excitedly, "My Golden Lin Banner, coupled with your Fire Phoenix Banner, is enough to affect the overall situation." ”

"No, it won't. Dong Xiao'er said bitterly, "If you do what you want, everyone will have the will to take revenge in a short period of time, and they may be able to work together to advance and retreat together." But after a long time, people's hearts will change, and when the time comes, the Tianshan Jade Dragon Palace will be torn apart, and the three banners and twelve halls will seek personal interests and even stand on their own. The most important thing is that everyone will fight each other for the gold and silver treasures left by the palace master, and you will fight to the death. Thinking about it this way, if Luo Tianjin wants to defeat us, he doesn't need to make a big deal at all, just a little trick, pull one faction, fight another faction, it is enough to provoke internal strife and make us fester. ”

Ding Ao was dissatisfied, and pouted: "The palace master has been in charge of the Jade Dragon Palace for decades, and he has not seen the slightest mess. ”

"The two are very different. Dong Xiao'er said angrily, "The Tianshan Jade Dragon Palace was founded by the palace master, and his prestige and status in the hearts of his disciples are far beyond what you and I can match. Therefore, as long as the palace master is alive, even if there are 100,000 disciples in the Jade Dragon Palace, no one dares to make a mistake. But you and I are different, the palace master passed away suddenly, no matter who succeeds the palace master, you and I are not right, and the words are not good, so the disciples must not be convinced. In the future, if you and I are negligent, they will rebel and cause great disaster. Rather than this, it is better to take advantage of the revenge of the disciples to temporarily take refuge in Jin Fuyu. With Jin Fuyu as a signboard to attract Luo Tianjin's attention, we can not only wait for the opportunity to take revenge, but also slowly cultivate our own power. When the time comes, we will come out of the shell of the golden cicada and stand on our own!"

"I'm afraid that we overestimate Jin Fuyu's ability. Ding Ao pondered Dong Xiao'er's reasoning carefully, and weighed it repeatedly, "After all, Jin Jianwu itself is difficult to protect, and we are tied to them, I'm afraid there will be no good results." ”

"Jin Fuyu once swore to me that the burned Kumo Cliff was just a drop in the bucket. As long as we go to Hengshanzhai, we can see his true strength. ”

"Hengshanzhai?" Ding Ao was suspicious, "What is Hengshanzhai?"

"I don't know. Dong Xiao'er shook her head slowly, "But Jin Fuyu's words are conclusive, and they are by no means bluffing. ”

"This ......"

"Lord Ding Qi, Luo Tianjin is the leader of the Central Plains Martial Arts Alliance, and King Shaoqin is his friend. If we cling to our flaws and refuse to be flexible, we will end up with only a dead end. Dong Xiao'er persuaded bitterly, "It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years." If you want to be long-lasting, you must give and take. ”

Ding Ao's eyebrows were tightly locked, his eyes were tangled, as if he was hesitant in his heart.

Under Dong Xiao'er's worried gaze, Ding Ao was silent for a long time, and finally let out a sigh, and then nodded slowly with a languid face.

"I can promise to take refuge in Jin Fuyu temporarily, but the old man has two conditions. ”

"On what terms?"

"First, except for the disciples, all the rest of the Jade Dragon Palace are sealed, and not a penny can be taken away. Second, if Jin Fuyu is just bluffing, we will return to Tianshan immediately and never leave him as a substitute for the dead ghost!"
