In a room in the core area of ​​Yanjiabao.

Jiang Yun was communicating with three monks in the alchemy stage, the Yanyan clan leader, a middle-aged female cultivator, and a burly male cultivator.

Yan Ruyan was also listening not far away. Her status in the entire Yanjia Fort was transcendent.

The old man with a white beard whom Jiang Yun met decades ago passed away a few years ago.

Because Zhenfandian and Yanjiabao had a good relationship and had a lot of business dealings, Jiang Yun even sent someone to express his condolences.

"Clan Chief Yan, we have been dealing with each other for more than a day or two, and both parties are very familiar with each other.

I am a fast-talking person, but I wonder what the nobility thinks of my proposal?" Jiang Yun picked up the teacup and took a sip of the spirit tea and said warmly.

Several members of the Yan family have been communicating with each other secretly, and there seems to be a disagreement.

In the end, Yan Yan smiled boldly and said: "Fellow Daoist Jiang is a good friend of our Yan Family Fort. Our Yan Family and Zhenfan Palace have had a happy cooperation over the years, but this matter is too important and we still need to discuss it."

"Fellow Taoist, thank you for coming all the way. We, Yanjiabao, have not yet fulfilled our friendship as landlords. We would like to ask you to take a break and taste the delicious food and wine in Yanjiabao. How about I give you an answer tomorrow?"

"

Jiang Yun naturally didn't expect Yan Family Fortress to agree on the spot.

"In that case, I'm sorry for bothering you."

Jiang Yun stood up and said with a smile, cupping his fists. Everyone in Yanjiabao also quickly stood up and politely cupped their fists in return.

"Where is it? Fellow Daoist Jiang doesn't mind the simplicity of Yan's Castle. Yan'er, please take Fellow Daoist Jiang to the guest room!"

"Yes, senior, please come with me!"

"Please, little friend!"

When Jiang Yun left the room and closed the door, the smile on Yan Yan's face disappeared instantly, her face became ugly, and she couldn't help but hit her fist on the table.

"Damn it! How did the seven major sects know that our Yan family is from the Ghost Spirit Sect! Apart from the three of us, only Yan'er knows about this!"

The other two also had gloomy faces and remained silent.

The middle-aged female cultivator looked at the silent, muscular male cultivator and said, "Yan Kui, I thought you would get angry as soon as Jiang Yun left. Why are you so silent today!"

The burly male cultivator snorted and said in a low voice: "Since our identities as members of the Ghost Spirit Sect have been exposed, how can we still be angry?"

"This Fellow Daoist Jiang said he is here to persuade our Yan family on behalf of the seven major sects. Jiang Yun's status as an envoy has already given our family face."

"Besides, the seven major sects are used to being ruthless and domineering. Logically speaking, after finding out our identities, we should directly destroy our Yan family to avoid future troubles.

Jiang Yun said that it was he who secured the negotiation opportunity for us, and I don’t think he was lying. In this way, we indeed owe Jiang Yun a favor."

Chief Yan Yan sighed and said, "Tell me, where should our Yan family fort go next?

"The notices from the seven factions have been received by all major families, including our Yanjiabao. War may be coming soon."

"We, Yanjiabao, are in an important location and will bear the brunt of the attack. The Seven Sects will not give us much time to choose!"

The other two looked at each other, and after a brief silence, the female cultivator said, "You also heard the conditions mentioned by Jiang Yun. First, the Yan Family Fort must surrender and become an affiliated family of Spirit Beast Mountain. Ancestor Hong will protect the Yan Family."

"In addition, Yan'er becomes his disciple and becomes a true disciple. The seven major parties will not be blamed for the identity of the Yanjiabao Ghost Spirit Sect branch, and they will not talk about it again in the future. These conditions seem to be good!"

The stalwart male cultivator seemed to have thought of something and had some dissatisfaction on his face, and whispered: "Yan'er's Tianlinggen aptitude has been completed in the foundation stage more than ten years ago. As a result, despite our strict precautions, we were still infected by something.

Strange poison."

"Fortunately, we specially strengthened our precautions to ensure that the poison was not deep. Although the poison was finally resolved, the spiritual power and the poison were already entangled, so we had no choice but to remove the cultivation base."

"So Yan'er's cultivation dropped to the early stage of foundation building, and she recently returned to the late stage of foundation building."

"If it hadn't been for this incident, I'm afraid Yan'er would have formed the elixir already. Jiang Yun himself is only in the elixir-forming stage, so how could he be qualified to accept Yan'er as his disciple!"

Yan Yan whispered: "Although the poisoner was found, he swallowed some kind of strange poison on the spot when he was arrested. His flesh and blood rotted and his soul died. Nothing could be found. He was obviously a dead soldier. Ordinary families and forces cannot cultivate him."

Out."

The female cultivator frowned and said in confusion: "We found the poison given to Yan'er in this person's storage bag, but the strange thing is that this poison is not a poison that kills people quickly, but a slow poison.

The poison will slowly spread throughout the body of the poisoned person, causing the person's soul to fall into a deep sleep and the spiritual power to be eroded."

"Although this poison is difficult to detoxify, it cannot kill anyone in a short period of time. Why do the planners take so much trouble? Wouldn't it be faster to use the poison that the dead soldier took himself?"

"Besides, since you have the ability to poison, why not just kill Yan'er? Why bother?"

The room became quiet for a moment...

"Let's not think about Yan'er's matter for now. Let's discuss how to reply to Jiang Yun." Chief Yan broke the silence and said.

The female cultivator said decisively: "It seems that Jiang Yun gave us a choice but actually we have no choice. After all, the devil has not yet attacked, and the country of Yue is still the territory of the seven sects."

"Leave aside the fact that we still don't know what the Ghost Spirit Sect's attitude towards us is after so many years. Even if we have the idea of ​​recognizing our ancestors and returning to our clan, we can only think about it now."

"Since the Seven Factions have sent Jiang Yun here as a lobbyist, they will definitely prevent our Yan family from escaping. Maybe we will be besieged as soon as we leave the fort defense formation, and then our entire Yan family will be wiped out."

"In my opinion, Jiang Yun is just doing courtesy first and then fighting."

The other two nodded slightly in agreement.

"But if we join Spirit Beast Mountain, if the demonic attack comes in the future and the seven sects are defeated, we will also be liquidated by the demonic way!"

"If you don't join us, our Yan family will be gone before the seven sects are defeated. Why do you want to go so far?"

Chief Yan slapped the table and said loudly: "Since we have no choice, we have to find a way to get more benefits! Jiang Yun also said that as long as the first two conditions are agreed, other conditions can be negotiated!"

"What conditions do you think you can try to put forward?"

The middle-aged female cultivator said excitedly: "How do you think about the experience of forming a baby? You don't need to think about the genius of the treasure to assist in forming a baby, but it is still very possible to get the experience."

"That's right, and it's best if Yanjiabao only obeys the instructions of Patriarch Hong, and the sect has no right to instruct us. In this case, our Yanjiabao will have a lot of freedom.

I heard that Patriarch Hong is devoted to physical training and cultivation, he has a straightforward temperament and is not greedy for money, which is a good thing." The strong monk suggested.

"Yes, we can also discuss with Jiang Yun that all the clan members who join Spirit Beast Mountain will join his Yunjun Peak."

"Of course it's impossible for everyone to become a disciple, and others may not necessarily think highly of him, but it's not bad to work under him and do odd jobs. At least under his protection, you won't be bullied by other people in power."

"Our Yan family has made a lot of spiritual stones from cooperating with Zhenfandian over the years. I never thought that magic weapons could be wholesaled in large quantities before."

“Although the individual profit is small, the speed of earning spiritual stones is much faster than before by selling them individually.

Since practice makes perfect with the same style, the refining speed of the clan is getting faster and faster, and the family's weapon refining master has been a little idle recently.

The order volume can be completed in two hours a day... Can we propose an increase in order?"

"This...Jiang Yun came to us to talk about joining us. Isn't it a bit inappropriate for us to propose business?"

"Jiang Yun himself said that he can talk about anything. Let's try to ask."

"Although Zhenfandian places the largest number of orders with our Yan family, there are several families that are also supplying Zhenfandian. It would be great if we could steal their orders and earn spiritual stones. It's not a waste."

The other two were moved.

Noon on the second day.

Jiang Yun and three alchemy monks dined together, and the atmosphere was lively as they exchanged glasses of wine. Yan Ruyan, who had already become a disciple of Jiang Yun, poured wine for Jiang Yun at the side, looking like the guests and hosts were enjoying themselves.

Yan Yan's cheeks were slightly red at the moment, and she seemed a little drunk. She patted Jiang Yun's shoulder and said happily:

"Brother Jiang is very generous. Not only did he agree to all the conditions proposed by our Yan family, but he was also willing to make a life-and-death curse with us. Both parties will abide by their promises and not betray each other. I, Yan Yan, am extremely grateful!"

The burly male cultivator also said boldly: "That's right, Brother Jiang is a heavenly golden elixir cultivator, and in the future Nascent Soul Keqi will still agree to set up the curse on the spot, which shows that he is sincere and has no lies.

I had some doubts about my brother before, but it was my fault, so I apologize to you!"

After saying this, the male cultivator gave Jiang Yun a salute.

Jiang Yun waved his hand and said: "From now on we are truly our own people, why should we be so polite!"

Jiang Yun didn't know what he thought of, and said happily: "Speaking of which, I also have a Tianlinggen disciple, and together with Yan'er, there are two Tianlinggen disciples, which is really rare in the ages."

The middle-aged female cultivator joked: "If the Taoist friend had not already had a Taoist companion, and the status of the concubine was too low, Yan'er would actually be able to become a Taoist companion instead of a disciple. After all, the age gap is not too big."

Yan Ruyan glared at the female cultivator and remained silent, but her expression seemed to disapprove of what the female cultivator said.

The middle-aged female cultivator said helplessly: "Don't even think about that Jiang Biehe. I sent people to Xi Country to check before. There are three cultivating families named Jiang, but they are all small clans that even the foundation-building monks don't have. Then

The person obviously concealed his origin."

"But that person is indeed a good character. I haven't heard any rumors about the Demon Pill Foundation Establishment Pill so far, which shows that the person really keeps his promise."

"Brother Jiang is naturally an upright gentleman! How could he break his trust with Yan'er?"

Although Jiang Yun's expression remained unchanged, the corners of his mouth froze slightly and he tried to change the topic:

"According to what we said before, we should not announce our attachment to the outside world for the time being. Only we and a few Yuan Ying ancestors know about this matter."

"In the future, the Ghost Spirit Sect will definitely send someone to your Yanjia Fort to persuade you to return to the Ghost Spirit Sect."

"This is also a common trick of the devil. Basically, when attacking every country, you first find the branch families or branch sects to cooperate with each other. When the time comes, your Yan family fortress..."

Before Jiang Yun finished speaking, Chief Yan patted Jiang Yun on the shoulder and said loudly: "We will capture them all and keep the most prominent guy as a hostage! Kill the rest."

"Don't worry, fellow Taoist, our Yanjiabao's fort-protecting formation is by no means in vain. Under the influence of the formation, not only the enemy's cultivation will be suppressed, but even flying is a luxury, and even the strength of the monks in the alchemy stage will be suppressed."

Suppressed by 20 to 30%!"

Patriarch Yan and the other two elders looked confident when they mentioned the fort defense formation.
