Chapter 990: Twilight

When Xiao Yan's face became cold or even cold, Lin Yi also completely calmed down.

Xiao Yan is a cultivator, and he should be one of the most powerful cultivators in the south after the Three Sages of the Southern Heavens, but as the emperor of a dynasty, he is forced to solve the problem in the way of a cultivator, which is indeed a very sad thing.

It's just that he doesn't sympathize with the other party.

As he said before, anyone should pay for what they do and the choices they make.

And he doesn't think it was a fair bet now.

"Actually, you should have always been curious, why He Xiu passed on my exercises. ”

He looked at Xiao Yan and said, "Actually, I was able to get the inheritance of He Cultivation because of Shen Yue's letterhead. ”

When Lin Yi said this, Wu Guzhi's complexion did not change at all, because she was one of the people who were handled by Nantian Courtyard back then.

When Lin Yi got the exercises of He Practice, he was already very different from ordinary cultivators when he began to practice, and the arrangement between her and Nantian Yuan at that time was just to let Lin Yi practice freely, although Lin Yi could enjoy all the conveniences of Nantian Academy, but he did not need to practice step by step according to the guidance and curriculum of her and other teachings.

However, when he heard what Lin Yi said, Xiao Yan's face instantly became extremely ugly.

Since He Xiu was imprisoned in the Desert Garden, the main purpose of the Nantian Academy he founded was to watch He Xiu, especially the meaning of the existence of many cultivators in the Nantian Academy, that is, if He Xiu wanted to get out of trouble, those cultivators would do their best, even if it was a moth to a fire, but also to delay He Xiu's departure.

In the years of the existence of the Nantian Academy, he was also very concerned about why the people of the Nantian Academy were used for cultivation and were bewitched by how they practiced, so many people in the Nantian Academy were specifically guarding against this, but now it seems that in the years since the establishment of the Nantian Academy, the entire Nantian Academy has not been completely firmly in his hands as he thought.

"It seems that you have been hiding a lot from me since many years ago. ”

He didn't go to see Lin Yi, but looked at Wu Guzhi coldly.

"There is Shen Yue, there is He Practice, and the other Sage is your mother. Back then, you destroyed the Taoist Sect and supported Buddhism, and with the momentum of dominating the world, you gathered almost the resources of the entire south to the Nantian Temple. There are too many resources in Nantian Temple, and many cultivators like me already don't need money and some ordinary things to replenish spiritual energy, but the only way to obtain some unique things to practice is to come to Nantian Temple. ”

Wu Guzhi could see the anger in his eyes, but she only explained the truth unusually calmly, "There are too many cultivators like me, and the Nantian Courtyard at the beginning is not as pure as you think. Some of us seem to you to have received the favor of Nantianyuan, but for us, if these things are not looted by you to Nantianyuan, we will also go elsewhere to get them. We taught the young cultivators of the Southern Dynasty in the Southern Heavenly Academy, and when we encountered the great war between the Southern Dynasty and the Northern Wei Dynasty, we also did our best, but we just asked all of us to think the same as you, but it was impossible. In all dynasties, the vast majority of powerful cultivators are beyond the world and will not be used by the court, and the vast majority of people's choices are self-disciplined and do not conflict with the court, but if they provoke themselves, when they must make a choice, they will naturally listen to their inner thoughts. ”

Xiao Yan may still reason with people before he ascends the throne, but after so many years on the throne, as an emperor, he naturally will not argue with others.

And at this time, Wu Guzhi said these words, he actually felt irrefutable, because what he said was indeed true.

"You don't lose either. ”

Lin Yi said very bluntly: "It seems that you seem to have opened an inn to raise people, but the people in this inn could not be used by you, but over the years, these people have done a lot of things for you." In the past few years alone, there have been many cultivators who have gone out of the Southern Heavenly Courtyard and died in battle on the northern border. ”

"You told me that where you can practice, it's Shen Yue's arrangement, what do you mean by what you want to say?" Xiao Yan didn't want to listen to Lin Yi's words at all, his gaze fell back on Lin Yi and asked.

"I want to say that when the real hero is in his twilight, when he looks back at what he has done and the choices he has made, I am afraid that he will regret it and feel guilty. Lin Yi's face became serious.

He raised his head, recalled the scene when he saw Shen Yue back then, and said slowly: "With what kind of cultivation he practiced, how could he not know that he had a very small chance of winning the battle with Shen Yue back then, I took over the Sword Pavilion, and naturally it is very clear that although the people in the Sword Pavilion are proud, they are definitely not stupid." Why He Xiu was forced to fight with Shen Yue back then, and then imprisoned himself in the Deserted Garden, don't you have a judgment in your heart? I'm afraid it's no different from what you want to use Shi Jing or Xiao Shufei's life to force me to fight with the Demon Sect. ”

"Of course I don't know as much about what happened back then, and of course I won't be disrespectful to Shen Yue, just on a case-by-case basis, I think he should have been persecuted by the lives of those in the Sword Pavilion and other people who followed He Xiu. ”

Lin Yi looked at the stars that were getting brighter and brighter in the night sky, and said, "Shen Yue was already the strongest cultivator back then, as long as he wanted to, he could kill those cultivators around He Xiu one by one, and it was impossible for He Xiu to stop him from killing people." If He Xiu was the same as the Demon Sect, he only needed the result he wanted, and he could naturally do whatever it took to do whatever it takes. It's just that he is not a Demon Sect, what you said is right, I am afraid that he will be forced by people with such things like me. ”

Xiao Yan was silent for a moment.

Of course, he knew very well what happened back then.

He didn't refute.

He didn't bother to refute either.

He nodded and said, "You don't think it's necessarily fair, this is persecution, but in my opinion, Shen Yue did a good enough job back then." If my mother had joined forces with him back then, it would not have been difficult to kill He Xiu and everyone in the Sword Pavilion, but Shen Yue took into account his opinion, and on the condition that my mother was also imprisoned in the Huxin Meditation Courtyard, he fought with He Xiu and let He Xiu be imprisoned in the deserted garden. And I have always respected Shen Yue and his agreement for so many years, and I will not deal with the people in the Sword Pavilion. If the people in the Sword Pavilion can survive and the world can be stable, this is the best result. ”

Of course, the words can be said in a bright light, but the means are not necessarily bright. If He Xiu was not coerced, he would naturally be able to hide himself and the people in the Sword Pavilion and destroy it secretly, and over the years, the Southern Dynasty might not be able to do what you wanted. ”

Lin Yi smiled sarcastically and said, "As for later, the reason why I said that Shen Yue asked He to practice taught me to practice, I'm afraid that before he was about to die, he also began to understand... Your mother's retreat is useless, and you live up to his expectations. So he was probably disappointed at that time. ”

"You...!"

Xiao Yan was furious, but compared to Lin Yi's open-mouthedness, he was really not good at arguing with people.

"In terms of how to practice and put my senior brother outside, he knows that he can't defeat Shen Yue, but he doesn't feel that his disciples can't defeat Shen Yue's disciples, in his opinion, my senior brother already has the possibility to change everything. ”

Lin Yi didn't give him a chance to argue, and went on, "And for Shen Yue, he feels that I am probably another seed he left in the world, and it may also bring many possibilities to future generations." He probably can't and doesn't have time to correct the mistakes he made, but I said this, as far as you are concerned, I think you should reflect on it, instead of thinking that everything you do is for the sake of the Southern Dynasty, and it is all taken for granted. ”

"Isn't it true that according to you, I should learn from the pain and reflect on my mistakes?"

Xiao Yan took a deep breath, he looked at Lin Yi, and said slowly: "After you killed the prince, is it still meaningful for you to say such things to me again?"

Lin Yi shook his head, he looked at Xiao Yan mockingly, and said, "Xiao Shufei has always said that I am naΓ―ve, in my opinion, how can you not." I'm trying to think about the consequences as much as I can, but have you considered it? I don't know what you thought about at the beginning to solve the problem like Shen Yue and He Xiu, what kind of solution is it? If everything is up to me and you to have a fair showdown, it will be judged by victory or defeat. I'm going to fight you, and if I win, what are you going to do, and if you win, what do you want me to do?"

Xiao Yan controlled his emotions.

If you keep getting rid of anger, you really seem to be too naΓ―ve.

"Naturally, the conditions are set by two people. ”

He lowered his eyelids slightly and said to Lin Yi.

Lin Yi couldn't help but shake his head again.

He knew that Xiao Yan was a powerful cultivator, but what he was thinking about now was, are you sure you can defeat me?

"If you die directly here, the Southern Dynasty will be in chaos in an instant. ”

He saw that Xiao Yan's determination was irreversible, and he didn't want to reason with Xiao Yan anymore, so he said directly: "I don't want to kill you directly, if you are defeated in my hands, I think you will be the same as my master, imprisoned in the deserted garden." ”

"Good. ”

Xiao Yan nodded slowly and said, "If you are defeated in my hands, I can not kill you, and you will be imprisoned in the Huxin Meditation Courtyard where my mother practiced." ”

"Sounds fair. ”

Lin Yi sneered, "But in this case, no matter how the battle between the two of us wins, the Demon Sect is afraid that he will wake up laughing from his dream." ”

"Do you still think that we have the possibility of joining forces to deal with the Demon Sect?"

When Xiao Yan said the word Demon Sect, the corners of his mouth twitched a little, and his face was slightly hideous, "What is the difference between you and the Demon Sect in my eyes?"

"So you are still naΓ―ve, and you are not afraid that your mother will scold you in her dreams. ”

Lin Yi couldn't help but want to mock him like this, but thinking that this kind of bickering was meaningless, he didn't say this sentence out of his mouth.

He thought about it seriously and said: "Don't forget that although you want to solve the problem as easily as Shen Yue, you are still the emperor of the Southern Dynasty, Shen Yue solves the cultivation of what kind of practice, so that the Southern Dynasty can be peaceful, but you solve me, with the Demon Sect here, the Southern Dynasty can still be peaceful?"

"Don't say that you have already let it go, you don't care about anything This kind of, if Shen Yue and He Xiuxing were also this kind of back then, He Xiuxing would not pay attention to Shen Yue. Before Xiao Yan could speak, he had already continued, "You can negotiate peace with the Northern Wei Dynasty, but the Demon Sect must be destroyed." ”

"Demon Sect....Is it so easy to destroy?" Xiao Yan's face became even more distorted, "You have no idea how powerful he is now. ”

"It turns out that you have lost the confidence to deal with the Demon Sect, and you just want to kill me to vent your anger. ”

Lin Yi could no longer hide his emotions, he mocked mercilessly and sneered, "It's very simple, if you are defeated in my hands, you will stay in your deserted garden with peace of mind, but those who are loyal to you, don't jump out and make enemies with me, those border troops in the north, you can also be handed over to me, I have no interest in your throne, but I can guarantee that I will do my best to kill the Demon Sect." ”
