Hou Ruoting was obviously mentally prepared for this sudden change, and there was no hint of surprise on her face.

A person walked out of the crowd in that direction, looking to be in his forties, himself in the middle of the condensation vein, but on one side of his face, for some reason, was full of crumpled scars, and the eyes on the other side were also half-open and half-closed, as if he had been seriously injured.

He slowly floated up from the ground and faced Hou Ruoting, "City Lord, it's not me who is looking for trouble with Lingyun City this time. I am the current head of the Sishui Hall around the Lingyun Sect, my name is Hu Hu, and many people call me Scarface. I don't know if the city lord knows about Sishui Hall?"

Hou Ruoting nodded, "Previously, I didn't hold a management position in the door, and the specific details were not clear. But listening to my grandfather at the beginning, Sishuitang had a close relationship with the Lingyun Sect. ”

Hu Hu nodded, "That's right. There is no need to say much about the details. In fact, at the beginning, it was the Lingyun Sect that had been covering the Sishui Hall and kept the Sishui Hall from being destroyed for many years. Because, a thousand years ago, when the head of the Lingyun Sect and the head of the Sishui Hall went out together, the road was in danger, and the head of the Sishui Hall fought with his life to help the head of the Lingyun get out of trouble. This is the origin of the relationship between the two factions. At that time, the head of Lingyun made a note, and if Lingyun was there, there was Sishuitang, which was a jade slip. ”

With that, he raised his hand and shot out a curtain of light, which showed the words of the head of Lingyun Yuan.

Hou Ruoting nodded, knowing that there was still something to follow, so she didn't interrupt.

"But then, a situation arose. The seventh-ranked sect in the Northeast Cultivation Area, Tianmu Gate has a feud with Sishuitang, intending to slaughter Sishuitang. Sishuitang was originally a small faction, with only about 200 people up and down, and it was impossible to compare with the Tianmu Sect, which had more than 1,000 people. Therefore, over the years, it was the Lingyun Sect that helped Sishuitang and suppressed the Tianmu Sect, and we had to continue. But now, a problem has arisen. ”

"Tianmu Gate has been attached to Lingyun City in advance, and the grievances between Tianmu and Sishui Hall, how can Lingyun City resolve them? Since the stakes are serious, I want to make it clear at this opening ceremony, and at the same time, from the perspective of the friendship between the two factions over the years, I would like to remind the city lord that there are some things that should not be said simply for the sake of sounding good. ”

Hou Ruoting knew that Hu Hu said this, and there was indeed some good intentions in it, but fundamentally speaking, she still wanted to take this opportunity to let the grievances between her Sishuitang and Tianmumen float to the surface, if Hou Ruoting can resolve it, Sishuitang will no longer have to be frightened, if it can't be resolved, after all, Sishuitang is a small faction, and public opinion may also fall to their side, which is beneficial to future development and action.

In any case, Hu Hu kills two birds with one stone, but for Hou Ruoting, it is indeed a problem.

With just one Tianmu Gate, with the current strength, even if it is exterminated, it will not be a problem. However, Tianmu Sect is indeed already a subordinate sect of Lingyun City. If even their own affiliated sects have to use violence to conquer, I am afraid that Lingyun City will also be difficult to convince the public.

"Is the head of Tianmu Sect?" Hou Ruoting shouted out this sentence while thinking. It was impossible for her to be silent for too long now, because that would make people feel that she, the lord of the city, was the master who couldn't make up her mind when something happened.

The head of Tianmu Gate also slowly rose from the crowd, "City Lord, I'm here." As for the grievances with Sishuitang, fundamentally speaking, they were left over from the previous generation or the previous generation, and by the time I became the head of the generation, there was actually no direct conflict with Sishuitang. ”

The words of the head of Tianmumen obviously had a tone of easing contradictions, which made Hou Ruoting happy. As long as the contradictions do not intensify to the point of irreconcilability, there may still be drama. But then she quickly thought that this was most likely related to the vaccine. As long as the formula of the vaccine pill has not been released, these sects may take some softness, so as not to come to the ceremony in the end, but return empty-handed for the most important purpose.

"That being the case, then if we build the head of Lingyun City and Sishui Tang and turn the fight into jade silk, I don't know what the head of the house means?"

The head of the Tianmu Gate smiled slightly, "The city lord's Jianyi, in fact, I am also thinking about it. It's just that there are several generations of inheritance, and I can't measure it alone. As far as I know, in the previous generations, the head of the Lingyun Sect defeated the head of our Tianmu Lake, and then established a treaty not to invade the Sishui Hall. In my generation, it doesn't seem appropriate to break the rules just by relying on a few words from the city lord. I wonder what the city lord thinks of this?"

Although the tone of what the head of Tianmu Sect said was soft, the meaning of challenge was already very obvious. The problem is that Hou Ruoting has just condensed the veins, and he has already condensed the middle of the veins, if it is really a direct battle, Hou Ruoting cannot be his opponent.

She knows this herself. In fact, the battle is not terrible, the key is that at the opening ceremony, even if there is a battle, Lingyun City cannot lose. At this juncture, Lingyun can't afford to lose.

"Force cannot solve all problems. Hou Ruoting tried her best to avoid direct fighting, "Fighting, killing, killing, that was a matter of previous generations, and now, the cultivator world is in chaos, and all sects may face unknown dangers." We, Lingyun City, want to make the vaccine pill formula public this time, in fact, we also want to unite everyone to fight against possible foreign enemies together. The ancients precepted, can be civilized but not martial, can be martial but not surrender, if the head thinks that what I said is right, then it is better to set an example for the cultivator world, today on this opening ceremony, the grievances between Tianmu Gate and Sishui Hall will be written off, and we will no longer use our Lingyun City to intervene, how about it?"

"A write-off? The head of Tianmu Sect also saw Hou Ruoting's fear, "Why does the city lord want to restore Lingyun? For our Tianmumen, the same is true, the glorious tradition cannot be lost. Although I can resolve the grievances with Sishuitang, there are factors from my predecessors, and I can't let my own temperament come, which the majority of cultivators know. ”

He threw his words out directly, and immediately aroused the approval of many cultivators below.

Hou Ruoting was very troubled at this time, but she still had a faint smile on her face. Just as she was about to speak, a voice entered her ears.

"Sue him, a sect is not something that can be supported by one master, even if the head wins, he may not be able to destroy Sishuitang with Tianmumen. ”

Hearing this voice, Hou Ruoting couldn't help but feel happy in her heart, as if she had seen her savior at the most critical juncture of her life!

Wan Peng!

Where Wan Peng is, she doesn't know, and she doesn't have to look for it. However, as long as Wan Peng sues him like this, he must have already arranged the follow-up things. She took a deep breath, and according to Wan Peng's meaning, she spoke, "Master, there is actually one thing that everyone knows. There is only one leader, and he can't support a sect at all. There is a difference between you and me in cultivation, and I will not be your opponent. However, even if you win, are you sure that you can destroy the Four Water Hall?"

The head of Tianmu Lake was obviously stunned. When Hou Ruoting said this, she had obviously changed her tone, and she sounded from being weak just now to being full of confidence. He also heard the implicit meaning in Hou Ruoting's words, and couldn't help but look down at the nearly 100 disciples he brought.

At the moment when his gaze swept over, the ground under the feet of the nearly 100 disciples lit up slightly, and immediately after, countless green vines snaked up, tying up all these people!

Formation, someone has arranged the formation in this short period of time!

When he arrived, because he had concerns, he carefully probed below the ground and did not find any formations. But now, this formation clearly exists!

Not only him, but most people were surprised when they saw this scene. Because during this period, they did not feel any fluctuations in spiritual power.

If you want to lay out a formation like this, it is almost impossible without spiritual power fluctuations!

was so silent, completely controlling all the disciples of Tianmu Sect except for the head of the sect, and it also made the hearts of the people present faintly chill. This is definitely a terrible method! There are even some small sects that do not have self-confidence, and they have a feeling of a Hongmen banquet for this opening ceremony.

For a while, when Hou Ruoting spoke just now, the vaguely fearful tone and content made people feel that they were playing tricks.

In this case, even if he really fought Hou Ruoting, what would it be like if he won? Without a disciple, the head of the Tianmu Sect would be an ordinary cultivator!

The head of Tianmu Gate glanced down in the air, and then turned to Hou Ruoting, "Hou City Lord is really good, and Lingyun City is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon." Although there is only one Jindan in the cultivator world now, I think that the master strength of Lingyun City is afraid that it will not be under the Jindan cultivator. I Tianmumen consider myself not an opponent, although I have not fought against the city lord, but the defeat is decided. Then, according to what the city lord said, the grievances between us and Sishuitang will never be mentioned again, at least in the generation when I am the head!"

As soon as his words fell, the formations in the area where the disciples of the Tianmu Sect were located withdrew together.

And this withdrawal is a lot of people who change color. I still can't feel the fluctuation of spiritual power! If we say that when the formation was just launched, maybe people's attention was focused on the conversation between Hou Ruoting and the head of the Tianmu Sect in the sky and was careless, but before this formation was withdrawn, there would definitely be no less than twenty people who would pay attention to the changes in the formation and look for the fluctuation of spiritual power to locate the location of the person who arranged the formation.

However, they got nothing.

What kind of master is behind the support has become the biggest doubt in the hearts of these people. And Lingyun City is even more mysterious in the eyes of people. Similarly, after passing through this town just now, Lingyun City's prestige in the Northeast Cultivation Area immediately increased greatly.

Hou Ruoting saw the change in the expressions of the people below, and smiled lightly, "We in Lingyun City value harmony. Below, according to the plan, I will announce the five principles of Lingyun City's foreign exchanges. ”

Now after Hou Ruoting spoke, there was silence below.
