Time passed, and in a blink of an eye, it was the end of November, and the skies in the north were getting colder.

The day of Li Xinren's catastrophe is gradually approaching.

The Li family and the royal family, after more than two months of open and secret battles, tragic confrontations, mutual damage, near the day of the catastrophe, the two sides began to converge their strength very tacitly.

The imperial city of the Great Song Dynasty, Yangzhou City.

A group of abandoned temples on the outskirts of the West Side.

A tall figure draped in black armor, followed by a mysterious man under a black cloak, arrived.

It was the middle of the night, and the cold wind was blowing violently, and a panicked whining sounded near the dead and dilapidated buildings.

The two of them walked to the grandest hall and stopped.

"Your Majesty, Senior Mu is cultivating in the hall, and I can only send you here. ”

The tall armored figure said respectfully, its body straight, standing to the side like a javelin.

"I know the rules, so just wait outside. ”

The mysterious man took off his cloak to reveal a slightly majestic face, and his eyes scanned the hall in front of him, his eyes flashed a few times, and he strode into the dilapidated door hung with cobwebs.

This person is the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, Yang Gan, the Ninth Five-Year Emperor, who somehow visited this place in this way late at night.

Yang Qian walked into the main hall, and what he saw was the figure with his eyes closed under the dusty statue of the god.

The figure was dressed in a shabby robe, and its long gray hair was scattered wantonly, and it was difficult to see the face, but it was quite eye-catching under the faint light of the candle not far away.

"Yang Qian has seen Senior Mu. ”

Yang Qian stepped forward and bowed slightly, showing great respect for the man with the hair.

"It turned out to be Yang Gan, we haven't seen each other for ten years, let's say, what is the reason for you to disturb the old Taoist Qing Xiu, if you don't tell me why, even if you are the emperor, I will have to punish you a little. ”

The wooden senior spoke hoarsely, as if he hadn't spoken for a long time.

In the next moment, his eyes opened, and the light in his pupils flashed, and the entire hall seemed to be a little brighter, and his cultivation seemed to be extremely high.

Yang Gan didn't dare to slack off at all about the person in front of him, after all, the other party's strength was there, even with his identity as an emperor, in front of this transcendent foundation building period master, he was faintly unqualified.

"Senior Mu, in recent times, there has been a serious conflict between my royal family and the Li family in the northwest, and Li Xinren, the head of the Li family, will have a three-nine thunder tribulation in a few days, and after that, it will be the same foundation building period as you. Our royal family hopes that our predecessors can make a shot once. Complete the agreement you made with your ancestors. ”

With that, Yang Qian took out a golden token and sent it to the Taoist.

The Taoist glanced at Yang Gan meaningfully, didn't look at the token, closed his eyes, and didn't give the emperor any face.

Seeing this, Yang Gan was extremely angry in his heart, but he was also a gloomy person, and he withdrew his palm with a stupid face, and said with a smile: "Since the seniors are unwilling to accept the token, let's leave it here for the time being." Over the years, the royal family's worship of you has never weakened, and I don't know if the predecessors can be satisfied. ”

"It's ok. The Taoist spoke softly, noncommittal.

"That's good. ”

Yang Gan's face loosened slightly, and as soon as his eyes rolled, he asked tentatively: "Senior, I don't know what I proposed just now, what do you think?"

As he spoke, he stared intently at Lao Dao's face.

"The Li family is a big family that has been inherited for thousands of years, and it has a deep and long foundation, so let me kill their patriarch, which makes me quite embarrassed! Moreover, the agreement between me and your Yang family ancestor back then was to protect the royal family, not to kill people for you, right? It seems quite inappropriate for you to let me do it. ”

The Taoist closed his eyes and said slowly, neither refusing nor agreeing.

"Old fox. ”

Yang Gan scolded secretly, although there was anger in his heart, he did not show it, but a smile appeared on his face, and said: "If the predecessor has any orders, just say that my royal family will definitely be able to meet you." ”

Wise as he is, where do you not know, this old guy is ready to open his mouth and ask for benefits.

The person in front of him, named Mu Zixu, was originally a great offering to his royal family, and fifty years ago, relying on the resources provided by the royal family, he entered the realm of foundation building and became the strongest person in the royal family's worship.

However, since Mu Zixu advanced to build the foundation, he has ignored the orders of his royal family, and he has violated all the promises made before the advancement, and he no longer fulfills the agreement.

Rao is like this, the royal family still has nothing to do with this person, and has no temper at all, so he can only provide for him like an ancestor, and he also gives a lot of money every year.

This time against the Li family, Mu Zixu is the biggest reliance of his royal family.

Seeing that Mu Zi was speechless, Yang Gan gritted his teeth, and said with pain on his face: "Senior Mu, the ancestor of the family entered the flood wilderness to practice, and before leaving, he once left a Bichi Dan, saying that it is quite useful for breaking through the middle stage of foundation building, if the seniors promise to make a move, the juniors can give this Bichi Dan to the seniors." ”

At this time, a three-year-old child could see the reluctance and unwillingness on the emperor's face.

"Bichi Dan, it's actually this kind of elixir, your royal collection is really rich. ”

Mu Zixu's eyes opened, grinned, and said: "Since there is such an elixir, then I will reluctantly make a move for it, originally I should not interfere in the worldly in this realm, since the hospitality of your royal family is difficult, then I will agree." ”

"Thank you seniors, seniors make a move, then the head of the Li family will definitely die. ”

Yang Qian was ecstatic, solemnly took out a jade box from his arms, sent it to Mu Zixu, and said: "Senior, this is the jade box containing Bichi Dan, on which there is a ban set by my Yang family ancestor himself, if it is broken by violence, the pill inside will be destroyed, and only by using the right method can the prohibition be eliminated." When the seniors kill Li Xinren, my royal family will offer the cracking technique with both hands. ”

Mu Zixu took the jade box, looked at it carefully for a moment, raised his head and said coldly: "You people from the Yang family are really careful. However, I can say the ugly words in the front, this time, I will only kill Li Xinren, as for the rest of the Li family, you still need to deal with it yourself. ”

Yang Qian had expected that Mu Zixu would say this, so he nodded and said: "No problem, Li Xinren, the great enemy, will be handed over to the seniors, and the rest will be dealt with by our royal family, over the years, our royal family has also accumulated a lot of strength in order to prepare for the decisive battle with the Li family, and I believe that the Li family will definitely not be disappointed." ”

"Very good, then do you know, where is the location of Li Xinren's robbery this time? I think it shouldn't be difficult to get some news by means of the royal family, right?"

Mu Zixu fumbled for the jade box, a little in love, and asked lightly.

"Although the Li family has hidden the location of Li Xinren's robbery very deeply, there is a secret agent in my royal family, who has been lurking in the Li family for more than ten years, and has long known that the location of Li Xinren's robbery is in a canyon three hundred miles deep in the Black Water Swamp. ”

Yang Qian swore an oath.

"Three hundred miles of the Black Water Swamp, that kind of place, it can be regarded as the edge of the flood wilderness, and it is also quite dangerous for us foundation building period cultivators. The Li family is really calculating, and they actually spend a catastrophe in such a dangerous place. Very good, since this is the case, then Li Xinren's head is mine, hehe, this country, only need one foundation building period cultivator, and one more, you have to ask me if I agree. ”

Mu Zixu sneered, a chilling light flashing in his eyes.

"In that case, the junior will leave. ”

Yang Qian smiled contentedly, bowed slightly, said goodbye to Mu Zixu, and after getting the latter's permission, he walked out of the main hall.

As soon as he walked out of the hall gate, Yang Gan's figure suddenly stood upright, and he had a conversation with Mu Zixu just now, but his body had always been slightly bent.

After all, there is still a lot of psychological pressure on him from having a dialogue with a Tsuki.

"Let's go. ”

Yang Gan put on his cloak and returned to his former majesty, his face was slightly cold, and he walked out of the palace with the tall guards.

Under the cloak, Yang Gan's knife-like face showed a thick mockery in the direction of Mu Zi's virtual cultivation.

"My royal things, how can they be so easy to take, Mu Zixu, you can do it yourself. ”
