The first floor of Kunlun.

The name is loud, but it is a five-story stone building. However, with a height of nearly ten zhang, it is indeed one of the tallest buildings in Kunlun Mansion.

Although Taiyi has almost no power here, it is still easy to book two rooms. Two suites on the fifth floor can overlook the entire Kunlun Mansion from a commanding vantage point.

A howling cold wind rushed into the room through the half-moon-shaped window. In the cold wind, there is a lot of dust. Gao Huan casually closed the window tightly. Although he is not afraid of the cold, he does not like the flying dust.

"It's no wonder that the buildings here are low, because the wind is high and the dust is big. Gao Huan said.

Yuan Zhen said: "I have always disliked here. The Han people have lost the traditions of the Han Kingdom. Most of the people here believe in the mixed yuan way, and then the great saying Rulai who worships Buddhism. As the largest sect in the north, the Mixed Yuan Dao is deeply rooted and incredible. Here, there is no place for other sects. ”

Gao Huan nodded and said, "This must be related to their teachings." Both the Flying Dragon Temple and the Mixed Yuan Dao allow eating and even drinking, in this bitter cold place, only meat can be eaten, wine can drive away the cold, and it is still the only pastime in this empty and desolate place. The Han people here have changed greatly, although they have had a secret relationship with the two barbarian countries, but also because of the unique environment here. Indeed, the way of life of the barbarians is more suitable here. ”

However, he has only come here, but Gao Huan can start from the fundamental level when he sees things, and he talks about the roots of the customs and beliefs here in a few words.

Yuan Zhen was stunned, she was also an extremely smart person, and immediately heard the truth contained in Gao Huan's words. It's only been half a day here, but Gao Huan has already seen the problem here so thoroughly. Although Yuan Zhen is conceited, he must also be ashamed of himself.

"Daozun wants you to be the next head, I'm not happy. You've only been in business for a few years, and your cultivation is shallow, so why should you be the leader. Today I learned that Dao Zun was indeed right. Your vision and wisdom are the most suitable leaders of Taiyi. Yuan Zhen sighed.

Yuan Zhen is really arrogant, and he is indeed a martial arts genius that is rare to see in a thousand years. I have a strong heart and a pure one. Although he does not have the heart to fight for power and profit, he does not like to be subservient. Therefore, she has an opinion on Gao Huan as the head.

Yanjing and his entourage, Yuan Zhen also felt that Gao Huan was resolute and courageous, and dared to take responsibility, which was very remarkable. However, Yuan Zhen still felt that Gao Huan's success was always a bit of luck, and he also borrowed a lot of external forces. But it wasn't until this moment that Yuan Zhen really realized the gap between her and Gao Huan.

Gao Huan smiled, "Senior sister is only refined and pure, and only seeks martial arts." This position of head is really not suitable for you. ”

It's not easy to be the head of Taiyi. Don't look at Yuanyang sitting on the mountain all day long, he doesn't care about anything. But there was no Yuan Yang to recompile the scriptures, expound the doctrines, vigorously disseminate them, and recruit disciples. How can Taiyi flourish?

Yuan Zhen may eventually be able to reach the realm of the Ninth Order Great Perfection, but he will never be able to strategize and grasp the overall situation like Yuan Yang. Gao Huan also lacks the mind and vision to look at the world. But that was limited to the level and position of strength, Gao Huan believed that he would eventually be able to grow to the level of Yuanyang Daozun.

has been with Yuan Zhen for so long, Gao Huan also has something to say, not false and polite, and bluntly said that Yuan Zhen is not suitable to be the head.

Yuan Zhen was not angry, but thought so. "Yes, I'm not suitable. Senior Brother Wanjian is not suitable either. Senior Brother Haotian is too calm and honest, he is the head, and Taiyi will definitely be pressed by other Dao sects and can't raise his head. If it is only inherited, Senior Brother Haotian is more suitable. But if you want to maintain the status quo or even go further, you are suitable. ”

Gao Huan shook his head slightly and said, "That's all for later." The most important thing now is to win the Kunlun Martial Arts Conference. ”

Yuan Zhen said: "The Kunlun Underground Palace, which has been sunk for a hundred years, will appear again, and this Kunlun martial arts competition will definitely attract the strong people from all sides to compete with all their might." Murong Shanhe, Jin Bin, and Ben Thunder Dao Lian Heng will all be your strong enemies. Luoying Island and Feixian Temple will not give up this opportunity. ”

Taiyi has also collected and sorted out these situations a long time ago and evaluated the opponents who participated in this battle. Jin Bin, Murong Shanhe and others are far less famous than Gao Huan. In recent years, there is no record to refer to. But since several people are all Heavenly Rank, and they all study under famous teachers, they are all not to be underestimated.

"This Kunlun martial arts competition, there may be six or seven masters above the seventh order to participate in the battle. This is also a grand occasion that has not been seen in a thousand years. Yuan Zhen said with emotion.

Ten years ago, she was on her own. Sweep through the other two countries with the power of the Heavenly Order, invincible. Unexpectedly, ten years later, the heaven-level powerhouses who participated in the competition could no longer be counted on one hand. This change made her have to sigh.

"Dao Zun once said that in the past twenty years, the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi has been gradually changing, so so many Heaven Rank masters have emerged in this generation. Gao Huan said.

When Yuan really wanted to say something, he suddenly had an alarm in his heart. Although Yuan Zhen's cultivation is not yet a ninth-order powerhouse, her cultivation of martial arts is only refined and pure, and she is the most sensitive to danger. In the dark, even if there is no danger that has not yet occurred, she can give birth to sense.

"In the previous Kunlun martial arts competitions, because it involves the competition of the three kingdoms, the two sides often assassinate each other's masters by unscrupulous means. to weaken the opponent's power. You're the loudest this time, so you have to be careful. Just now I sensed a hint of hidden murder, which must have come at us. Yuan Zhen warned.

Gao Huan groaned and said: "This group of people is insidious and vicious, and they are all pawns. We don't have to waste energy with them. Go to the Governor's Palace and see who dares to come and die. ”

Yuan Zhen was originally a murderous machine, and wanted to kill a few to set an example. But Gao Huan's proposal is more labor-saving and simpler. Since you can borrow the general trend of the military, you don't have to use it in vain. This move also cut off the thoughts of those thieves.

Gao Huan and Yuan Zhen are both true monarchs of the imperial court, even if they are the governors of a prefecture, they must receive them in accordance with the etiquette specifications set by the imperial court.

After receiving the report, the Governor's Mansion quickly sent a team of elite knights to pick up Gao Huan and Yuan Zhen. The two men, escorted by the army, entered the governor's palace with great fanfare.

The spies and killers from all walks of life watched the two enter the governor's mansion, and they were all powerless. The heavily guarded Governor's Mansion, if he could still kill Gao Huan, it was something that only a peerless great grandmaster could do.

Qinghe County, who got the news, gritted his teeth angrily, "What a strong man, he shrank in fright before he made a move." Hmph, it doesn't matter, this group of people can't be hired for nothing. When Jin Bin and Ben Lei Dao Lian entered the city, they let them kill these two people. ”

The maid said helplessly: "These two people will definitely have a large number of guards to follow. There will be no hands-on opportunities. ”

The county lord of Qinghe waved his hand, "If you don't have a chance, create an opportunity." Kill a man, and give a million gold. You just send out the message, whether you can kill two people or not, there are people who are worried about killing them every day, and make sure they can't sleep well. Haha......"

In Kunlun Mansion, it became a miasma because of this order from the county lord of Qinghe. When Xia Guo's convoy entered the Kunlun Mansion, it was plotted. More than twenty good horses were poisoned constantly, and even several of the guards died.

This incident also made Jin Bin furious. Kill the residence of the county lord of Shangqinghe with a sword, and kill dozens of people. Even the county lord of Qinghe was almost killed, and at the last moment, he was rescued by a ninth-order master. Jin Bin suffered a big loss instead.

Gao Huan, who was resting peacefully in the Governor's Palace, couldn't help but laugh after hearing these news. That woman named Murong Qinghe is really crazy.

Three days later, Bai Sheng, Kong Jun and others also entered the Governor's Mansion under the escort of the army. The person in charge this time was none other than the ninth-order grandmaster Zhang Ling. This Heavenly Master of the Dragon and Tiger Dao has a high position, and he is only under the original Heavenly Clothes of the National Teacher. He came to preside over the Kunlun martial arts conference, which also showed the importance that the imperial court attached to this conference.

After everyone gathered, there was Heavenly Master Zhang Ling who presided over the meeting every day, and everyone sat together to study the masters of the other two countries, and make assessments, formulate corresponding tactics, and so on.

The meeting lasted for two days in a row before all kinds of things were properly arranged for the decisive battle of the martial arts.

Tomorrow, the Kunlun martial arts competition will begin, and in the evening, Zhang Ling found Gao Huan in private.

"Gao Zhenjun, this competition is not better than before. The Kunlun Underground Palace will emerge at the end of the year. There are all kinds of rare treasures in the Kunlun underground palace, secret records of divine skills, and even legends that there are longevity fruits that can increase life for thousands of years. Nothing else, just this immortal fruit, but there is no room for loss. ”

The longevity fruit can prolong life for thousands of years, which is a temptation that the ninth-order great master cannot resist. No strong man thinks his life is too long. For the legendary longevity fruit, even if there is a slight opportunity, it will not give up. Therefore, I don't know how many people's hearts have been touched by this martial arts competition. This also makes the competition in the tournament more and more intense.

Kunlun Underground Palace, Immortal Fruit, these Gao Huan have long known. Zhang Ling said this, but it was just an opening remark.

Zhang Ling, as a heavenly master, is also the head of the Dragon and Tiger Dao, but his powerful position is incomparable to Gao Huan. At this time, although he claimed to be a true monarch, he sat upright, with the condescending style of an elder venerable.

Gao Huan sat down, his face was calm, and he didn't show any dissatisfaction. Zhang Ling is old, his cultivation is also high, and he calls himself an elder, so there is nothing wrong with it. This time, he is the host of the martial arts competition, and it is normal to put on a show in front of him.

"At the Kunlun Martial Arts Conference, I will do my best. Gao Huan said indifferently.

Zhang Ling was still very satisfied with Gao Huan's attitude, and said with a smile: "It is precisely because this competition is very important that the arrangement of the pioneer and the main general is particularly important. ”

Gao Huan glanced at Zhang Ling and casually agreed: "Yes, the order of the battle is very important. ”

Zhang Ling groaned and said, "Among the seven people, only Kong Jun, Bai Sheng and Zhenjun are qualified to be the protagonists. Kong Jun has the most sharp spear, and Poor Dao arranged for him to be the vanguard, Bai Sheng to be the deputy general, and Zhenjun to be the main general. Do you have any opinions?"

It is also a practice to be the master of the highest cultivation. Zhang Ling's arrangement is also stable, and there is nothing special about it. So to discuss with Gao Huan, to put it bluntly, it is also to give Gao Huan a face. Advance notice.

Gao Huan said: "I have an opinion. ”

Zhang Lingqi said: "What?"

Gao Huan said in a deep voice: "Kong Jun's sharpness has been lost, and he is not suitable to be a pioneer. I'll do this pioneer!"

"Ah......" Zhang Ling was shocked and lost his voice.
