With Lin Ba's departure, this matter can be regarded as a simple temporary end. At the same time, the world also calmed down, the thunder dissipated, the lightning disappeared, and it returned to normal.

The beautiful bearded man didn't speak, just turned around and looked in the direction where Lin Ba left, and after a while, he slowly turned around and looked at Ji Kao.

This person's cultivation is extremely high, and his combat power is 95, not only that, but if it has been tempered by endless years of changes, it makes his gaze have a profound meaning, as if he wants to see through Ji Kao's body, and even includes his inner thoughts.

After a while, he stood in the air and clenched his fists, and after saluting Ji Kao, he said lightly: "A few little friends, Nanhou is invited!"

Excuse me?

Ji Kao sneered in his heart!

He didn't know what Lan Guanxue's plan was, anyway, he invited himself over, and he wouldn't be entertaining himself for tea and chatting. However, there are many strong people around me, so it's good to take a look.

So, Ji Kao nodded, also bowed back with his fists, and said, "There is labor!"

Seeing that Ji Kao agreed, the beautiful bearded man immediately raised his right hand and waved, and his cultivation spread out, enveloping Ji Kao and the others, and then as if teleporting, he disappeared in an instant.

At this moment, many monks in the field frowned slightly as they watched this change that came and went faster.

Originally, they thought that with the domineering of the Lin family, even if the beautiful bearded prince made a move with the royal order, Lin Ba would not give up. However, at this moment, Lin Ba gave everyone the feeling as if he had regressed.

Not only that, if this kind of thing had happened before, the other major families would have sent people to see it a long time ago, and it would be like today...... In smooth water.

This kind of calmness is very eerie, as if it were ...... The mountain rain is coming!

"Nanhou actually appeared, I always thought he was already sitting down!"

"Nanhou suddenly came forward this time, and I am afraid that it will not be long before he will return to power. It's just that this Phantom City is no longer what it was back then, and the power of the nine major families is monstrous. Alas, it seems, is going to be messed up. ”

Lin Ba actually retreated, which was not in line with the style of the Lin family at all. In my opinion, the Lin family, and even the major families, are all tempting and waiting for Nanhou to come out. ”

While many monks in the city were talking in a low voice, Ji Kao and his party followed the beautiful bearded prince, and had already teleported to the inner range of Phantom City, and then landed outside a royal palace.

At a glance, this palace is several large, more than three times larger than the palace in the capital of Jikao, which fully reflects the thousand-year-old power of Phantom City.

However, outside this huge palace, there were only a few teams of guards and monks of less than a hundred people patrolling and roaming, which suddenly made this palace look extremely desolate, and the original domineering spirit also evolved into a thick sound of dead silence.

"Please!"

The bearded man landed on the ground, and after making a 'please' gesture, he took the lead in entering the palace, and Ji Kao and the others also followed.

After walking for a while, everyone saw a big hall, and there were eighteen huge python pillars outside the main hall, standing tall, as if they could reach the sky, it was very majestic.

And the eighteen-day golden python hovering above the giant pillar is even more lifelike, as if it can rise to the sky at any time, forming a strong momentum, majestic and shocking, faintly forming a formation.

"Nanhou, the distinguished guest has been invited!"

Outside the main hall, the bearded man saluted respectfully and spoke softly.

At the same time, the eighteen giant pythons outside the main hall actually opened their eyes at the same time at this moment, and their momentum was shocking, and they all looked at Ji Kao and the others.

At this moment, there was a faint sound of dragon chanting circling around. These eighteen giant pythons turned out to be the realm of half-step dragons, compared to the dragon river fish above Ji Kao Capital, they didn't lose half a point.

The coercion brought by the eighteen giant pythons was extremely huge for a minor monk like Ji Kao. However, Ji Kao has the air of an emperor, the power of the dragon, and a mere python, how dare he compete?

In just a few glances, the eighteen giant pythons felt fear, bowed their heads in unison, and stopped moving.

At the same time, a faint laugh rang out in the hall.

"Haha, the distinguished guest came here, originally from afar, but there is something to do, forgive the sins. Bearded man, please enter the hall. ”

When Ji Kao heard this flat voice, he immediately frowned slightly. Because this voice doesn't feel like a prince overlord, but like a scholar.

Thinking about it, Ji Kao was about to step in.

"Childe, I'll go first!"

Li Bai stopped Ji Kao slightly, not wanting Ji Kao to take the lead in danger. After all, the other party is a hostile force, and this hall is extremely weird, in case there is any ambush, it will not be good to hurt Ji Kao at that time.

"It's okay!"

Ji Kao smiled and walked in directly. The other party treats each other so politely, if he doesn't even dare to enter the door, wouldn't it be a joke?

The main hall, like the entire palace, gives people a sense of desolation. There is a huge hall, there are no armor guards, no officials, some are just magnificent, but they are even more desolate and empty clothing items.

And at the end of the main hall, there is no throne, only a plan, on which is a white paper scroll, on which there are inkstones, pens and other literati supplies, displayed on the left and right. It feels as if this is not a palace, but a study.

There is a person behind the desk, a middle-aged man, dressed as a scholar, but with a sense of nobility, holding a brush at this time, as if he is painting and calligraphy.

When this person heard the footsteps of Ji Kao and the others, he said indifferently: "Haha, Xiaoyou, wait a while, let me finish the last stroke." ”

Ji Kao nodded and didn't speak!

Suddenly, the man put down the brush, then looked up.

But seeing that he had clear eyebrows and light eyes, as if he was as light as water, wearing a faded robe, just like a down-and-out scholar.

Ji Kao was slightly surprised, and said secretly in his heart: "Could it be that this person is one of the three princes...... Lan Guanxue?"

"Little friend, how about looking at my painting?"

As he spoke, the man picked up the scroll he had just drawn on the desk and unfolded it.

On the scroll is also a man, with green eyebrows, beautiful eyes, and a clear image, like a plum blossom, standing in the painting like that, quiet as if standing still.

"Good!"

"Good painting ......", Ji Kao also said indifferently and praised: "What a beautiful and peerless, elegant lone plum in the cold." It's just that painting is not as good as people, and painting is a dead thing, which inevitably lacks the taste of living people and dust. ”

Ji Kao is a genius, and his eyes are even more vicious, just at a glance, he points out the shortcomings in the painting.

Although this painting is very well painted, it gives people a dead air, and there is no feeling that the man in the painting is about to jump out and draw to speak.

After his words sounded, Lan Guanxue suddenly lowered his head and sighed, and said in a deep voice: "I intend to be a literati, but I am involved in the turmoil of the times, I can't paint the essence of painting, I can only look at things and copy them, how can I paint a living person? ”

As he spoke, he raised his right hand and waved it slightly, and a ...... flew out of the storage ring A corpse gently fell in front of Ji Kao and the others.
