Chapter 229: Pre-War Deals

Jiang Feng naturally would not return Yu Xiaoman's turquoise necklace, although the two had agreed that this chain was just a temporary collateral for the Zhengqi Alliance token, and it was already approaching the auction at this time, and the thing should be returned.

However, the turquoise necklace still carried two "silver feather arrows" at this time, which was one of his indispensable attack methods, and at the same time, Jiang Feng did not want this special method to be exposed. Therefore, he made a few haha, found an excuse to shirk the matter, and almost told the nonsense that the turquoise necklace was lost in the ruins of the Raging Wind Canyon.

Facing Yu Xiaoman, whose face was becoming more and more cold and unhappy, Jiang Feng couldn't help but think about the relationship between the two, in fact, the two were still moving towards "deeper friendship" at first At least, in terms of buying and selling intelligence, they used to be good partners, but after being tricked twice, Jiang Feng deliberately kept his distance, and the mutual vigilance between the two gradually deepened, and the relationship became cold.

"For some special reasons, I still need to use the necklace for a while, I'm very sorry, I can't be honest about this matter, you know, everyone has some special secrets, and I hope you will forgive me. ”

"It's just an ordinary ornament, what's the use?Do you have any special habits?" Yu Xiaoman asked, I have to say that her suspicion forced Jiang Feng into a corner.

"This ...... In fact, the insider liked it very much, so she took it for reference and wanted to buy the same one. Jiang Feng suddenly remembered a good shield, the other party also knew about Qiu Zhenzhen's things, and mistakenly thought it was true, it was also a good reason to use it at this time, it was more appropriate than saying "I sometimes need to wear it".

A strange suspicion flashed in Yu Xiaoman's eyes, but the inquiry about this matter also ended here, "Is she okay? How did you meet?" she turned to ask these gossip questions.

Well?

This is not your style, Jiang Feng secretly thought, shouldn't it be Xiao Mingzhen's girl who asked this? He subconsciously felt that there might be a language trap in this, and he didn't dare to answer easily, after thinking about it, he showed a happy expression, "It's okay, it's okay, it's all small things." Listen to Xiao Zheng, you already have the skills that you can use at the Xuan level, can you have any further goals when you go to the auction this time?" Jiang Feng decided to divert the topic and sell Yu Xiaozheng first.

"Xiaozheng's tone will break something big sooner or later. ”

Yu Xiaoman gave a stern look, and immediately became calm, "Fortunately, you have no malicious intent." That's right, I got a good water skill, but I'm not satisfied. Besides, it's useless to only have skills, it's more important to experience and Dan theory, and you must be worried about this too, right?"

In a word.

However, there is no shortage of opportunities for training, although the ability to confront head-on is not uncommon, but Jiang Feng can also be regarded as a monk who has struggled several times from the line of life and death, for him, what is more important is how to transform the accumulation, under the exploitation of the spirit of the black snake, into cultivation and promotion; 。

"What are your plans?"

Based on Jiang Feng's understanding of her, Yu Xiaoman should have a trap here, and the best way to answer should be to ask, "Say, I don't like the way you go, we're friends, aren't we?"

Jiang Feng felt that he had finally succeeded in turning passive into active, he suddenly realized that Yu Xiaoman's problem was that he was too utilitarian and not straightforward enough, which was different from Xiao Mingzhen, Xiao Mingzhen could put utilitarian problems on the bright side, such as scolding himself for being a prostitute for nothing, thinking about beauty, but things would still help as usual, Yu Xiaoman is different, she likes to set language traps and lead herself into the pit, Jiang Feng resisted this from the bottom of his heart, presumably this is also the main reason why the two are drifting apart and the relationship is becoming more and more estranged.

Yu Xiaoman glanced at Jiang Feng meaningfully, "It's okay, I have something that I need your help with." She threw out a roll of papyrus, "This is the information that my informant has recently provided, you can see if you are interested." ”

Well?

Jiang Feng saw a few key words at first glance, the marking of the chaotic stone sea, and the words "Begonia", all of which showed that this was the "Begonia Sanren Mansion" that he wanted to investigate.

"It's dangerous!"

"You know?"

"The ninth generation head of the Asagama Sect let me go, and he died here. Jiang Feng revealed what he knew, and from Yu Xiaoman's information, he got a more detailed location of the ruins here, which could be regarded as a kind of gain.

"Are you interested?"

"Is it just you and me?" Jiang Feng said, "If there are only you and me, I'm afraid my strength will not be enough." And, how do you know there's something you want in this cave?"

"The Begonia Sanren is a water system, but they can practice two earth skills, which is the focus of my interest. Yu Xiaoman said, "He must have a special magic weapon, or other cultivation methods, that can allow him to adapt to this change." ”

"What's wrong with concentrating on cultivating water skills? Besides, don't you already have a suitable alternative skill?" Jiang Feng couldn't help but have such a question.

"Higher pursuits. Yu Xiaoman said, she immediately felt that this explanation violated the identity of "friend", "I just think that the use of earth skills seems to be more convenient, which is realized from the process of using talismans." ”

"It's better to have a prefecture-level monk lead the team. ”

"I'm afraid the key benefits will be divided. Yu Xiaoman worried, "According to the rules, this is true, unless you meet the right people, who happen to be interested in other things." ”

"Six Xuan-level, do you think it's enough?"

"Look at the collocation. Jiang Feng tried to evaluate Ren Wudao's combat power in his heart, but found that he had no clue, so he couldn't give a suitable answer, "Maybe there are more people, it's more appropriate." ”

"I'll gather some extra detailed information, and I'll look for you when the time comes. I'm ashamed to say that there aren't many people I can trust, and you are one of them, and you are responsible for the three of them. ”

Hmm? What is the situation? Wasn't it cold just now? Jiang Feng was thinking about the reason for this, and Yi had already left faintly.

"Give me back the turquoise necklace sooner. ”

It seems that he has fallen into another trap, Jiang Feng suddenly woke up, by the way, I don't seem to have promised you to explore the "Begonia Sanren Mansion" together, although I will go sooner or later, but I originally planned to reach the prefecture level before going, then again, if you really need three Xuan level, who should you go to?

............

Imperial Wind Sect, Vertical Arch City.

Mu Qianxue was immersed in the sunset, looking into the distance, she had already learned through the intelligence network of the mysterious informant Li Dabang, that the rebellion team led by the prefecture-level monk Xu Youjing had passed through Yunda City, and was rushing towards the Vertical Arch City, if nothing else, tonight it will arrive at Wuling City, which is one hundred and twenty miles northwest of here, and repair there for a while, and go straight to the Vertical Arch City in the early morning of tomorrow.

Down to the steps and time points, the level of detail of this information made Mu Qianxue secretly surprised.

It is said that it is a team, but for Mu Qianxue, this team is not really small, three prefecture-level monks, twenty-one Xuan-level monks, even if all the living forces of the Mu family are mobilized, she has only enough nine Xuan-level, including two teenagers who have just been promoted to the Xuan-level level, plus the Xuan-level monks under Ling Feidu's command, there are only fourteen, as for the strength of the spirit level, although there are as many as thirty-eight, but they are not worthy of a battle.

It was impossible for the Ling family to send troops before this battle. Except for a Ling Fei who could clear up the relationship at a critical moment, the Ling family would not have any additional strength to openly rush to their aid. Therefore, at the prefecture-level level, only senior brother Liu Canran was ordered by the master to stand on his side, although she sent a message to other senior brothers, but she has not received a response for a long time, presumably they have also chosen to stay out of the matter. Only Liu Canran's family has already evacuated Jindu City, and now they are all located in Nanping City, but the power they can provide is extremely scarce.

In addition, with the help of Feng Jiming, Mu Qianxue also coerced several nearby city fortresses, as well as several forces of the Hanshan Sect, including seven Xuan-level and twenty spirit-level monks, although they can also be regarded as a combat force, but there is a big problem with loyalty, once the battle is lost, they will either flee in the desert, or they will turn against each other, and they cannot be fully trusted.

It's a pity that the battle formation composed of spirit-level monks has not yet taken shape, and the biggest omission she asked herself is that she underestimated the intelligence network and reaction ability of the Imperial Wind Sect, and also underestimated the determination of Xu Deyang, the head of the Imperial Wind Sect, originally thought that this battle should not happen until at least half a month later.

It is destined to be a bloody battle.

"Ancient, is Feng Jiming here?"

"He said he would show up in time tonight. Behind Mu Qianxue, there was Gu Chuanfu, who originally served Ling Feidu, and was entrusted by Ling Feidu to assist Mu Qianxue in handling this affairs.

"Is it reliable?" Mu Qianxue couldn't help but ask, the big war was coming, and she, who usually only fought with a few monks, couldn't help but be a little flustered, but as the leader, she couldn't expose this emotion.

"I don't think it's a big problem, Feng Jiming won't joke about his future, since he wants to get the share he wants afterwards, he will inevitably need to cooperate with us. ”

"I hope he can take down the city lord of Frost City as soon as possible. ”

"The head of the family can rest assured, with the help of Luo Shengdu sent by the Covering Sea Sect, it shouldn't be a big problem. ”

Scold!

Mu Qianxue sighed slightly in her heart, hearing the title of "master", the fighting spirit in her heart burned again, and her calm heart churned again, if it weren't for this title and the resources behind it, she wouldn't have gambled on everything in the Mu family, the sunset spread all over the sky, and she knew it was time to start preparing.

At this time, a little guy ran over and whispered a few words beside Gu Chuanfu.

"The head, Zeng Baoxian, the head of Chixia Gate, has arrived. ”

"Good. Mu Qianxue remembered the magic weapon she had paid for the intelligence and to win over this person, and secretly thought that although Li Dabang's background was unclear, his work was quite reliable, but the price was a little too expensive or even outrageous. It's just that I don't know what kind of requirements Chixiamen will put forward at this critical moment, so that I am willing to cooperate with myself to resist the enemy, of course, it is impossible to let Chixiamen dispatch a large number of monks, that means directly declaring war on the Yufeng Sect, not to mention, there is still Luoyingmen between the two sects, and the only thing that Chixiamen can help itself is Zeng Baoxian, a prefecture-level monk himself.

Himself, Ling Feidu, Luo Shengdu, Zeng Baoxian, four prefecture-level monks, plus Feng Jiming, who can fight with the ground-level monks, may be able to fight with the enemy.

"Ancient, let's go over and talk, and hope he can surprise us in tonight's battle. ”

............

Covering the sea gate, Silver Spring City.

The new head Luo Junji confirmed the news that Luo Shengdu, the son of the family, had arrived in the southeast of the Imperial Wind Sect, so he retreated, threw out two high-level soundproof notes in a row, and took out a bronze bell-shaped magic weapon, embedded several third-order spirit stones, and the bell-shaped magic weapon trembled three times one after another, forming a halo visible to the naked eye, isolating this place from the outside world.

He took out a black prismatic crystal, placed it on a red copper array plate that had already been arranged with a small magic circle, and said something in his mouth, and soon, a dark light suddenly appeared in front of him, and several ripples in the black light gradually converged into a small stone wall as smooth as jade.

On the stone wall, a figure soon appeared, which was the appearance of Wei Yanqiu.

"Senior, excuse me. ”

Although he looks older than Wei Yanqiu, because of the difference in cultivation and status, Luo Junji still carefully used the honorific title, "I will ask you if you can do it as soon as possible, I have prepared everything, and now the Imperial Wind Sect has also mobilized people to advance eastward, which is a good opportunity." ”

"Yes. ”

Wei Yanqiu only replied with one word, then paused for a while, and said again, "Before Lu Donglai returns, you can do it as much as you want, and as for the rest of the matter, I don't make any guarantees." ”

"Yes, after this incident, the Covering Sea Gate will only be your leader, and Mu Qianxue, the head of the Imperial Wind Sect in the east, has also entrusted me to pay tribute to you, hoping to be under your command. ”

"Good. But ......" the other party pondered for a moment, as if thinking about gains and losses.

"But what? ”

"Kill Wei Shendao to avoid future troubles. ”

"This ......"

"What's so difficult?"

"No ......"

Luo Junji sighed in his heart, killing Wei Shendao, he and the inherent power of the Wei family, there is no room for maneuver, this involves almost one-third of the monks in the sect, and nearly one-third of the wall-riding faction, the reason why he imprisoned Wei Shendao is to end the matter when his reputation is at its highest.

You must know that those hidden monks who don't know their origins, that is, most of the monks in the battle array, will not be used for themselves after the war, but will only become leeches that bite themselves, and then fly away from the ruins of the sea gate. Therefore, after the war, he also needed the support of these wall-riding factions.

Now one of the nine old men who supports him, Wei Yanqiu, wants to kill Wei Shendao decisively, but also to avoid riding the wall by himself, and to keep room when Lu Donglai returns, since there is a request, then this matter must be done.

Being able to be recognized by one of the nine old men is very important for Luo Junji, a rebel, of course, he also knows that Wei Yanqiu can't call the shots, after all, she is currently only in charge of the three divisions such as the Li Fan Yuan, and there is still a distance from the top five of the nine old men, of course, it is not without benefits for her to support herself, if the Covering Sea Gate and the Imperial Wind Sect, which were originally subordinate to Lu Donglai, all switch to Wei Yanqiu, then Wei Yanqiu will also go further among the nine old men, enter the top five, and the improvement of identity and status is naturally self-evident.

Perhaps obtaining the offerings of the two sects is only a superficial benefit, and as for the other hidden contents, it is not something that he, a pseudo-heaven-level monk, can speculate about.

"Okay, Senior Wei, I'll do it right away, but I hope to be able to go east tonight, and those who help me still need you to restrain me in the dark to cooperate with me in the war with the Imperial Wind Sect. ”

"Whatever you want. The voice behind the stone wall was cold and concise, "Don't play tricks, remember, I have never helped you with anything, and don't try to contact me again until you stand firm, it's dangerous." ”

"Yes!"

As soon as Luo Junji answered, the clear figure on the pitch-black stone wall suddenly dissipated, as if it had never existed.

Call!

He breathed a sigh of relief, this unequal transaction seemed to continue, but Luo Junji did not regret it, taking the opportunity of Lu Donglai, a member of the Nine Elders' Society, to disappear for no reason, he imprisoned Wei Shendao, rebelled and became the head, and switched to another Venerable of the Nine Elders, Wei Yanqiu, and through her, he gambled on the future with the soldiers of other sects, he had no way out.

The fourth-order spiritual veins under the Golden Capital City, hoping to give himself a little surprise, he secretly said, the sea gate is so small, if it is not that it happens to be in that small fourth-order spiritual vein, giving birth to two twin treasures, how can it carry two pseudo-heaven-level existences? Now, in the face of a higher realm, these resources are far from enough, and he can only bet all his net worth to win a better future.

Jindu City, I'm coming.

............

The Great Wei Kingdom, the south of Xiushui City, is extremely deep in Buluo Mountain.

Chen Kun wore a brown robe and slowly entered the underground secret room nearly five hundred zhang deep, this hastily excavated secret room was not large, only fifteen zhang square, three or four zhang high, and the bare spirit stone mine was full of all kinds of pills and materials at this time.

"Old Devil, I've already helped you reach a preliminary deal with several nearby city lords. ”

"You're pretty eloquent. Wan Lao Demon turned his back to him, his breath fluctuated, and he seemed to be combing the surging spiritual power in his body.

"The Wei State was defeated again on the Western Front, and now it is a chaos, and it is the time for the heroes to rise up and the strong to be respected. It is rumored that the three major sects have begun to recruit their own supporters, and there may be a civil war. At this time, as long as a promise is made, most of those guys who can't see the situation clearly and get lost will be very aware of the current affairs and defect to us. ”

"Promises? What can we promise?"

"Nature is the path of Jindan. The promise of a pseudo-heaven-level cultivator of yours is a temptation big enough for them. What's more, they didn't pay anything except a little elixir and spiritual materials to worship. ”

Ho!

Wan Lao Mo didn't take this promise seriously, "Very good, then go on!"
