An Youxin, who was standing in front of Zhou Ran, was wearing a hat and a Gebu linen clothes, much like the helmsman he saw on the day he boarded the boat.

Bai Wei held a plate covered with a red cloth in both hands, standing beside An Youxin like a maidservant, the expression on her face was more respectful than when facing the main party Fang Jiuzhang, and even a little afraid.

An Youxin changed his previous confusion, and his expression was cold and detached.

It's like a completely different person.

"City Lord Zhou!"

An Youxin got straight to the point and said, "Yun Kun Dazhou wants to ask you for a favor." ”

As he spoke, he casually lifted the red cloth from the plate.

In the jade plate under the red cloth, there is a dark money bag quietly.

An Youxin said: "This is the Cloud Swallowing Bag in the Kit Kat Pavilion, which is made from the stomach of a very rare three-mutated Cloud Swallowing Rat. The necessary things mentioned in the secret note of the Heaven Interception Tower are now also in this Cloud Swallowing Bag, and all the items in it are the highest grade above the Cloud Kun Great Boat, and the City Lord of Zhou should understand the value of these things very well. ”

Zhou Ran's expression gradually became serious, and he waited for An Youxin to continue.

Seeing that Zhou Ran didn't speak, An Youxin couldn't help asking, "Isn't City Lord Zhou moved?"

"How excited I am now, how distressed I may be later. ”

Zhou Ran sighed, in the face of the previous An Youxin, he still wanted to refuse to refuse, but in front of him, An Youxin, who could treat Bai Wei as a maid, was not so easy to deal with, he said: "Let's talk about what you want me to do first!"

An Youxin still didn't say anything, he pointed to the jade plate and said, "What if these are just a fraction of the reward for the city lord of Zhou?"

When Zhou Ran heard this, his face gradually became gloomy.

An Youxin knew that Zhou Ran had probably guessed, so he asked, "City Lord Zhou should have the remnant soul of a earth cow in his hand, right?"

Zhou Ran stared at An Youxin's eyes and said, "Yes." ”

An Youxin asked again: "Is the City Lord of Zhou willing to cut his love?"

Zhou Ran was silent.

For him, that earth cow can be called the life-saving means left to him by Chengqi and Chi Yu, and it is also the biggest hole card he can take out to deter people who covet Yuzhou City. is also because of the ground cow, Chengqi and Akabane's life and death are still unknown. In addition, the earth cow is still stained with the blood of so many blood troops and wild wolf army, and it may also be related to the force behind the ancient family.

Whatever the reason, Zhou Ran never wanted to let it go.

An Youxin picked up the cloud swallowing bag on the jade plate and threw it to Zhou Ran, and said: "Take this thing Zhou City Lord first, it should be regarded as an apology for Changshengdu to embarrass Zhou City Lord." ”

"Changshengdu?"

Zhou Ran took the cloud swallowing bag, but his eyes were fixed on An Youxin, and he asked in a deep voice, "What is your relationship with Changshengdu?"

The Nine Sects have always existed in legends, but it is not a secret which nine sects the Nine Sects are.

Even ordinary people can call out the names of the Nine Sects.

Changshengdu is one of the nine sects.

An Youxin introduced himself in front of Zhou Ran for the first time: "Deacon of the Outer Gate of Changshengdu, An Youxin." ”

Not long ago, Zhou Ran thought that there was still a long distance between himself and the Nine Sects, but he never expected that only a few days later, a deacon of the Nine Sects would stand in front of him.

"We know what the remnant soul of the earth cow means to the city lord of Zhou. ”

An Youxin continued: "In order to avoid the worries of the Zhou City Lord, Tianhewu will send two powerhouses of the fifth turn of the Star Column to sit in Yuzhou City for thirty years, and in addition, a cross-domain ferry can be established outside Yuzhou City. As for the grudge between the City Lord of Zhou and the Thousand Peerless Gate and the Lieyang Valley, someone from Tianhewu will also come forward to mediate. ”

"All of the above is our sincerity. ”

An Youxin said: "If there is something that has not been considered, City Lord Zhou can bring it up." ”

Zhou Ran was noncommittal about this, and said, "What price are you willing to offer?"

"If the City Lord of Zhou needs a spiritual source, a five-grade spiritual source. ”

"If the Zhou City Lord needs exercises, the Seven Great Martial Arts of Tianhewu can be chosen by the Zhou City Lord. ”

"If the City Lord of Zhou has an enemy, Tianhewu can take action on behalf of the City Lord of Zhou, even if it is someone who has crossed the gate of heaven. ”

Seeing that Zhou Ran was still unmoved, An Youxin frowned, and then continued: "If City Lord Zhou wants to go to Changshengdu to practice, it is not impossible. ”

Zhou Ran waited until An Youxin stopped talking before he spoke: "This is the price you offered?"

An Youxin nodded and asked, "City Lord Zhou is not satisfied?"

Zhou Ran didn't shake his head or nod, he began to ponder.

An Youxin didn't urge him, but Bai Wei, who was standing next to her and heard the conversation between the two clearly, was difficult to calm down, and any of An Youxin's words was a temptation that she couldn't refuse.

It is extremely rare for a spiritual source to reach the fourth grade, and a place like Jizhou may not appear a fifth-grade spiritual source in three or five years, and every time it appears, it will inevitably attract the top masters of the major factions to snatch it. Tianhewu, whose power is even greater than that of the Middle Nine Gates, is rooted in the seven major martial arts, and the top three martial arts are even rumored to be related to Changshengdu. And to kill the person who crossed the gate of heaven, even Tianhewu would have to pay a big price.

If Bai Wei was Zhou Ran, she would definitely choose to go to Changshengdu to practice without thinking about it.

In fact, not to mention that she is such a small steward, even those ancestors in Tianhewu who have reached the fifth turn of the Star Vertical will go crazy.

After Zhou Ran pondered for a while, he asked An Youxin: "What do you want the remnant soul of the earth cow to do?"

"This ......"

An Yu thought for a moment and said, "There's nothing to hide about this. ”

"More than half a month ago, news came from Tianzhou that a Peng-class ship was attacked by a fierce beast and finally crashed. ”

An Youxin sighed, his face sank immediately, and then said: "Tianhewu invited a few masters to keep track of that fierce beast, and not long ago, I found that the beast seemed to be attracted by the Nine Heavens Gangfeng on this side of Fengyun Valley. And now it was certain that the beast was coming towards Fengyun Valley, and it was possible to arrive in two days. ”

An Youxin looked at Zhou Ran and said in a deep voice: "With the speed of the Yun Kun Boat, it will take at least four days to pass through the wind belt, and it is very likely that you will encounter that fierce beast." ”

Zhou Ran asked, "What if the Yun Kun boat stops at this time?"

An Youxin shook his head and said: "City Lord Zhou went to see how many people on the big boat came for the Heaven Interception Tower, if you miss it once, you will have to wait for another ten years, how many people can afford to wait? In addition, during the period before the Heaven Interception Tower opened, no matter what kind of danger was encountered, even if the boat was destroyed and killed in the end, the big boat could not stop, this was the rule set by the Nine Sects." ”

"What's more, it's not impossible now!"

An Youxin looked at Zhou Ran and said, "Several masters invited by Tianhewu have been looking for an opportunity to snipe that fierce beast, although that beast is not enlightened, it is extremely cunning, if there is something that can lead it into the trap, then ......"

Zhou Ran finally understood An Youxin's meaning: "You want to use the remnant soul of the earth ox as bait to catch that fierce beast?"

"Exactly!"

An Youxin nodded and said, "The reason why that beast was attracted here by the Nine Heavens Gangfeng is most likely because he wants to use the Nine Heavens Gangfeng to refine his soul in order to go further. However, refining the divine soul with the Nine Heavens Gang Wind can only increase the possibility of crossing the Heavenly Gate, and if it can swallow the remnant soul of the Earth Ox, crossing the Heavenly Gate will be a nail in the coffin. ”

"Therefore, as long as the city lord of Zhou is willing to cut his love, that beast will definitely not be able to resist this temptation. ”

An Youxin looked at the wind belt that was already close at hand, and said, "If City Lord Zhou is not satisfied with the conditions I made before, you can also say what you want, and we will definitely find a way to meet it." ”

Zhou Ran didn't say his own conditions, and continued to ask: "What is that fierce beast?"

An Youxin pursed his lips, as if hesitating for a moment, but finally said, "A cloud-skimming bird." ”

"Cloud-skimmers?"

Zhou Ran was slightly surprised, but his face was calm, and he pretended not to know and asked, "What is that?"

"A rare ferocious bird. ”

Seeing that Zhou Ran really didn't seem to know, An Youxin's vigilance suddenly decreased a lot, and he explained with a smile: "The speed is extremely fast, otherwise those people who crossed the gate of heaven would have sniped them to death." ”

"I see. ”

Zhou Ran bowed slightly.

An Youxin seemed to just say this casually, but in fact, he intended to inform Zhou Ran of the strength of several masters.

Before tempting with profit, this light and unintentional remark was coercing.

The five major sects entrenched in Jizhou, each sect has had a person who has crossed the gate of heaven, except for Chen Shizhi of the Yuncang faction and the one behind Wanli Mansion who can be sure to be alive, and it is unknown how the other three factions are.

In order to snipe the cloud-skimming bird, Tianhewu was able to invite several people who crossed the gate of heaven at one time, which can be seen from the great power and depth of its heritage. On the other hand, a cloud-skimming bird that has not yet crossed the gate of heaven can make several people who have crossed the gate of heaven helpless so far, and the fierceness and cunning level should definitely not be underestimated.

But no matter how strong the Cloud Sweeping Bird is, it can't be compared to the seventy-two Earth Demon Beasts at all.

Yunchuan Dense Land, Zhou Ran relied on the power of Chengqi and Chi Yu, plus the power of his divine thoughts at all costs, which tore the earth cow apart alive.

The whole process seemed easy, and when he thought about it again after the matter passed, Zhou Ran only had happiness and fear in his heart.

Fortunately, the earth cow had either been seriously injured or had been asleep for too long, and it did not play the strength of an adult earth cow at all. Otherwise, unless Zhou Ran exerted all the power of his divine thoughts, he would have the slightest chance to hit it hard. What scared him was that if he hadn't killed the Earth Ox at that time, but instead let it run out of the Yunchuan Secret Land, what would have happened?

Zhou Ran still doesn't know what the military's real hole cards are, but in his mind, even if he can kill the ground cow in the end, the price he pays will definitely be beyond imagination.

An adult earth cow, ranked among the seventy-two earthly beasts, is naturally high above the Heavenly Gate. And with such a powerful remnant soul as bait, the Cloud Snatcher is almost certain to be fooled.

However, the price offered by An Youxin was obviously playing Zhou Ran as a fool.

Since An Youxin, who claimed to be the deacon of the Outer Gate of the Immortal Crossing, knew that Zhou Ran had the soul of the earth cow on his body, he must also know that Zhou Ran had twice made the earth cow move, then he should know that if he wanted to do this, the soul of the earth cow must be complete and his spirituality must not be lost. And from beginning to end, he said that he was talking about the remnants of the earth cow.

If it's just a remnant soul, An Youxin's price is indeed not low.

However, how can a remnant soul be compared to a spiritually unlost intact soul?

"Let's go!"

Zhou Ran laughed, he raised the cloud swallowing bag in his hand, and said, "This is when you apologize for treating me as a fool." ”

After finishing speaking, Zhou Ran had a cold face, and said, "It's good to go, don't send it!"

An Youxin immediately said: "Can City Lord Zhou bear to watch millions of people on the boat die under the mouth of that beast?"

The cold air on Zhou Ran's face froze in an instant, and An Youxin's words made him suddenly think of the day when the ghost fog broke out in Dingjun Mountain, several old generals were all in retreat as if they had made an appointment, and someone pointed to him who had just crossed the threshold of the Guiyuan Realm, and asked: Can Instructor Zhou bear to watch tens of thousands of colleagues become ghosts?

Knowing that it was death, he still went to the ghost cave alone.

If you can choose again, Zhou Ran will do the same, because someone must go up to the top.

The same words came out of An Youxin's mouth, and Zhou Ran felt not only funny, but more angry.

In Dingjun Mountain, he would not refuse, but here he does not care.

Meeting An Youxin's eyes, Zhou Ran laughed and asked, "What do you have to do with me?!"
