After these two years of seclusion, Liang Yan's strength has greatly improved, and of course he is in a good mood.
He had few acquaintances in Wushuang City and was very poorly informed, so the first thing he did after coming out of seclusion was to visit Li Xiran, Ji Lai, Fang Li and Buwen Jushi.
Unexpectedly, Ji Lai actually took over the mission in Wushuang City and has not come back yet. As for Li Xiran, it is said that he went to the elixir shop in Wushuang City to buy elixirs and is not in the cave now.
Liang Yan couldn't find the two of them, so he went directly to the residence of Fang Liren and Buwen.
These two people were at home. When they saw Liang Yan coming to visit, they immediately warmly entertained them.
They drank for three rounds and talked about the current situation in Wushuang City, which gave Liang Yan some understanding of what had happened in the past two years.
It turns out that not long after he went into seclusion, the entire Wushuang Realm began to have undercurrents. In order to compete for the "six-fingered bones", various forces poured into the Wushuang Realm one after another, causing quite a disturbance either overtly or covertly.
On the other hand, although the nine local sects in the Wushuang Domain still obey the jurisdiction of Wushuang City on the surface, because several of their elite disciples died in Wushuang City during the last selection and assessment, they have always been worried about it.
Resentment.
The identities of Xiong Ba, Ya Liu and others are a mystery and their traces are hard to find. Wushuang City has been unable to find any clues and cannot prove their innocence. The Nine Sects use this as an excuse to continuously put pressure on Wushuang City.
If it weren't for the fear of the power of the city lord of Wushuang City, these nine sects would have joined forces to attack Wushuang City two years ago and come to the palace lords of the five major palaces for an explanation.
This situation of internal and external troubles has been at a stalemate for two years. Not long ago, I don’t know where the news came from, saying that Linghu Bai, the lord of Wushuang City, had actually been missing for more than three hundred years and is no longer in Wushuang City at all!
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and all the forces in Wushuang City and Wushuang Territory caused an uproar because of this news.
Many forces that originally sneaked into the Wushuang Realm secretly no longer hid, and began to trace the whereabouts of the "Six Finger Bones" blatantly. Some were even bold enough to sneak directly into the Wushuang City, hoping to steal the two finger bones in the Wushuang City.
Although these people failed to achieve their wish in the end, it also shows that the current situation in Wushuang Domain is very tense.
Wushuang City has no leader, and the Huajie Patriarchs of the five major palaces in the city also have different opinions. At this time, they are divided into multiple factions. Some people advocate going out to destroy the foreign forces and rebel forces in Wushuang Domain, so as to show the power of Wushuang City; others
Some people advocated keeping a low profile, taking the defense of Wushuang City as the top priority, and recalling all the city disciples who were out on missions; some even suggested sending a team of confidants to secretly investigate the whereabouts of the city lord.
There was still debate within Wushuang City, but after the heads of the Nine Sects learned about Linghu Bai's disappearance, they immediately took action.
They united together and forced Wushuang City to give an explanation for what happened back then. The two sides couldn't argue, and finally agreed to discuss Taoism on Cangnan Mountain. The time was set three years later, which was the so-called "Cangnan Mountain Agreement".
"It turns out that so many things happened in Wushuang Domain during my two years of seclusion."
After listening to Fang Liren's introduction, Liang Yan couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart.
As far as he knew, there were a total of thirteen Transformation Tribulation Realm ancestors in Wushuang City. Even if the city lord was absent, their strength would be greater than that of the nine sects combined.
However, now that the city lord is missing and Wushuang City is leaderless, the remaining ancestors are not all of the same mind and will inevitably take advantage of others. Coupled with the infiltration of some forces from outside the territory, the situation in Wushuang Domain becomes even more complicated.
Regarding the matter of the nine sects and foreign forces, Cang Yueming had actually warned him as early as two years ago, so he did not accept any tasks in the past two years, nor did he interfere with the "Six Finger Bones" matter. He just waited for
After practicing in seclusion in his own cave, he gained two years of quiet time.
Unexpectedly, these things have intensified. Judging from the current situation, as a member of Bihai Palace, it is impossible for Liang Yan to be alone.
As the saying goes, there are no eggs left when the nest is overturned. I'm afraid it won't be long before the Bihai Palace where I am located will also join in this turmoil.
Several people had many things on their minds. Although they reunited again after two years, the topics at the banquet were quite heavy. After chatting for a while, Liang Yan said goodbye to the two of them and left.
In the days that followed, Liang Yan kept practicing his newly learned sword moves in his cave. Such days lasted for about a month, until one day the long ringing of bells came from deep in the mountains.
Liang Yan knew that this was a signal for Bihai Palace to summon the monks from various departments. As soon as the bell rang, all the Bihai Palace monks who were still in Wushuang City would go there immediately.
He did not hesitate, stood up and left the cave, driving a ray of light through the sky to the east, passing through many mountains, and finally came to a valley deep in the mountains.
The valley is very quiet, and there is a magnificent palace in the middle, which is the main hall of Bihai Palace.
Liang Yan pressed the escape light at the entrance of the valley. When he looked back, he found that there were still three or three escape lights flying in the air from all directions. They were obviously monks from the Bihai Palace who had heard the bells and came from all over Wushuang City.
At this time, a ray of light fell beside him, revealing the figure inside, but it was Ji Lai whom he had not seen for a long time.
"Brother Liang, it turns out you are out of prison!"
Ji Lai laughed and strode towards Liang Yan.
"You are very diligent. You just joined Wushuang City and you immediately went out to perform the mission. Isn't it possible that there are other instructions in Senior Sanchi's bag?" Liang Yan said half seriously and half jokingly.
Ji Lai's face froze slightly, but returned to normal the next moment, he just laughed and said: "Brother Liang is overthinking. After Ji joined Wushuang City, he found that many resources that are useful to me require contribution points to redeem them. I am not like
Brother Liang is also at the top of the list. He has two thousand contribution points when he first entered the city. Naturally, he has to go out and do more tasks to accumulate contribution points so that he can exchange for what I want."
"Okay, you and I don't have to explain so much."
Liang Yan waved his hand, but secretly thought in his heart: "I'm afraid that like Li Xiran, you have other purposes for joining Wushuang City, and I guess it has something to do with the 'Six Finger Bones'. But as long as the matter does not involve me,
Of course I turned a blind eye."
Seeing him, Ji Lai didn't want to ask any more questions, so he nodded, and said with some worry: "This time Bihai Palace summoned monks, it is probably related to the turmoil in Wushuang Domain. Under the joint pressure of the nine sects, Wushuang is afraid that
No one in this city can live alone. Brother Liang, although you like to retreat and be quiet, I'm afraid you won't be allowed to do so in the future."
After hearing this, Liang Yan frowned and said: "These things are too coincidental. The city lord disappeared, the candidates were killed and the Tianji box was born. These three things are all rare in a thousand years, but now they all happened to happen.
Together. Otherwise, with the huge power of Wushuang City, we would never be in such an embarrassing situation."
"Brother Liang, do you mean that someone is secretly plotting against Wushuang City?" Ji Lai asked in a lowered voice.
"I'm not sure about this, I just think it's a little strange." Liang Yan shrugged, looking noncommittal.
In fact, there is one thing he has not said, and that is Nogi Bai who is hiding in the dark. This person has at least the strength to survive five difficulties. Even the ancestors of the Transformation Tribulation Realm in Wushuang City may not be his opponent.
He used himself to steal information about Bihai Palace, and of course he was one of the people plotting against Wushuang City. However, Liang Yan couldn't let a third person know about this matter.
Just as the two of them were talking, another ray of light came flying from the distance, and it was in front of them in the blink of an eye.
This time it was Li Xiran who came.
This woman is wearing a dragon and tiger Taoist uniform, with a long sheathed sword on her back. Although she looks gentle, her temperament is quite dashing and heroic.
Liang Yan saw the person coming clearly, and his eyes suddenly narrowed slightly, because he found that Li Xiran seemed different from two years ago. There were slight fluctuations in the aura on his body. It seemed that he had cultivated some magical power, but he could not fully control it for the moment.
.
However, only he could detect such subtle fluctuations through "Eight Divisions of Evolution", and Ji Lai next to him had no reaction at all.
"Has she experienced something else in the past two years? Although her cultivation level has not changed much, her magical power seems to be not at the same level as before."
Liang Yan thought to himself. Although he was a little curious, he didn't ask.
He already knew that the other party was the daughter of the Lord of White Jade City, and she had many secrets. But he actually didn't want to know more about these secrets, because sometimes the more he knew, the more dangerous he was, especially for someone who had been hunted down.
A woman who has lived.
However, Li Xiran looked quite excited after seeing Liang Yan and greeted him first.
The three of them have known each other for a long time. They were teammates on the same team during the selection and assessment. Now that they are all assigned to Song Ru's command, their relationship is naturally very close.
After talking for a while, the three of them entered the valley together and arrived at the main hall of Bihai Palace.
At this time, many monks had gathered in the palace, including eight monks who had reached the Tongxuan realm, lined up under the steps, followed by many monks at the Golden Core realm.
Song Ru was also among the eight True Lords of Tongxuan. She was standing on the far right side of the hall, followed by Fang Liren and Layman Buwen.
"Boy Liang, come over here!"
Almost the moment Liang Yan walked into the hall, Song Ru saw him and said through a message.
Liang Yan nodded, led Ji Lai and Li Xiran to stand behind Song Ru.
"You three juniors, you haven't come to see me once since you entered Bihai Palace. You don't even know what you did? How about it? You haven't encountered any problems in your practice recently, right?" Song Ru seemed to be blaming, but in fact she was a little concerned.
asked.
Of course, Liang Yan couldn't tell the other party about his practice of "Fish and Dragon Dance". He could only use the excuse that he chose "Canghai Star Divine Sword" from the Sutra Pavilion. He had been practicing hard day and night for the past two years and had never stepped out.
Half a step to the cave.
As for Ji Lai and Li Xiran, they both had their own concerns. Their purpose of entering Wushuang City was not simple. Faced with Song Ru's concern, there was a trace of unnoticeable guilt in their eyes.
But fortunately, Song Ru didn't ask in detail. The two of them were vague and the matter passed. On the contrary, Song Ru said worriedly to Liang Yan: "I didn't expect you to choose "Canghai Star Divine Sword".
This swordsmanship was created by the senior masters of Bihai Palace, and you have no foundation in swordsmanship before, so it must be very difficult to practice, and you must work hard."
"Thank you, senior, for reminding me." Liang Yan nodded, but there was a disapproving expression on his face.
Song Ru sighed softly when she saw this, thinking that he was young and energetic, a little ambitious, and actually chose such a profound sword art, thus wasting the opportunity to enter the Sutra Pavilion.
Just as a few people were communicating in low voices, a sound like the roar of the blue sea suddenly came from the top of the steps in the hall. As a circle of water ripples spread in the air, two figures suddenly appeared on the steps.
There were still some whispers in the main hall, but after these two people appeared, it fell silent instantly.
Liang Yan looked up and saw a man and a woman standing on the steps. The woman was wearing a blue palace dress with waves embroidered on her clothes. They seemed to be flowing. It was the Ning he had seen in Lingyun Palace that day.
Xia.
As for the man, he was seven feet tall, had sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, and was wearing a blue robe. He looked extremely handsome.
"This person should be Lin Yueque who Fang Liren mentioned before. I heard that he also has the ability to overcome five difficulties. Now it seems that he is extraordinary, but I don't know who is stronger or weaker between this person and Nomu Bai?"
Liang Yan secretly thought to himself that he now has a habit of automatically comparing himself with Nomu Bai whenever he meets a monk in the Transformation Tribulation Realm.
Looking back at the masters Lian Xin and Murong Hanqiu who I met before, they seemed to be far behind them. As for Lin Yueque and Ning Xia in front of them, judging from their aura, they should have the capital to fight with them.
In fact, Nomu Bai has become a worry for Liang Yan at this time. Although the other party has not harmed him so far and has even given him some benefits, the feeling of being manipulated is really uncomfortable.
Just as he was thinking secretly in his heart, the person on the stage spoke.
Lin Yueque's deep voice sounded slowly: "Everyone must be aware of the reason why we have called you here today. The current situation in Wushuang Domain is severe, and the nine sects took advantage of our city lord's absence to join forces to attack!
The agreement at Cangnan Mountain is said to be about discussing Tao, huh! In fact, it’s just a battle of wits? Whoever has the bigger fist will make sense!”
As soon as he said this, many monks in the field immediately echoed, and some people said with indignation: "Senior Lin is right, these nine sects are really despicable. They usually receive the protection of our Wushuang City but are ungrateful. Now
Knowing that the city lord was not here, he immediately turned against him. Tell me, I must teach them a lesson so that they know the majesty of Wushuang City!"
As soon as this person finished speaking, another person next to him responded: "That's right! As long as we have all the masters in Wushuang City, the nine major sects are not a problem at all. If you ask me, I might as well attack the sect directly this time and overthrow their dojo.
, let these despicable people reap the consequences!"
