The person who spoke was a boy of twelve or thirteen years old, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a bright forehead. He was Wu Ci, the deputy city lord of Wushuang City!
He waved his little hand, and an invisible aura spread out. Although there was no strange phenomenon around him, from Liang Yan's perspective, the golden dragon and the purple dragon disappeared at this moment, as if they were smoothed away by an invisible big hand.
Already.
Seeing that Wu Ci had broken his magical power, the Supreme Demon Lord snorted, but didn't say anything more. He just stood with his hands behind his back and sneered secretly.
Liang Yan's body relaxed, but his expression did not change at all, as if nothing happened just now.
"Fellow Taoists, nice to meet you!" Liang Yan clasped his fists and smiled.
In the Qingyou Valley, the nine sub-sages all laid their eyes on him. Although there was no aura emanating from them, these nine people were all powerful enough to reach heaven and earth. Only these people among the saints were qualified to compete. One of them
The look in his eyes is also something ordinary people cannot bear.
Nine eyes focused on one person at the same time. This person obviously did not have the realm of sub-sage, but he showed a calm attitude, which made many people secretly praise him.
"I have long heard about the abilities of Taoist friends, and when we meet today, they are indeed worthy of their reputation!"
The speaker was Wanshou Shanliu Changshou. He knocked his wooden stick on the back of the black turtle. The black turtle immediately came out and looked at Liang Yan. He actually nodded slightly, as if he recognized him.
Suddenly, a clear voice asked: "Fellow Daoist Liang, are you here to discuss matters as the acting sect master of Yuzhu Mountain, or as the master of Bihai Palace in Wushuang City?"
This question was a tricky one. Liang Yan turned around and saw that it was the deputy city lord of Kunwu City, Fan Qingzhou.
"Liang is here, of course, as the acting sect leader of Yuzhu Mountain." He answered very decisively, without any hesitation.
"So according to Fellow Daoist Liang, you no longer belong to Wushuang City?" Fan Qingzhou continued to ask, and the question was still sharp.
"I think fellow Taoist misunderstanding, these two identities are not in conflict."
Liang Yan had expected this question, so he was well prepared. At this moment, he laughed and said: "The identity of the acting sect master of Yuzhu Mountain is that Liang was ordered to lead the Taoist friends of Yuzhu Mountain to fight against the Beiming army. As long as Beiming
As long as Ming is not eliminated, I will be the acting sect leader of Yuzhu Mountain. When the war between the north and the south ends and the Antarctic Fairy Continent enjoys peace again, Liang will step down as the sect leader and return to Wushuang City."
After hearing his answer, Fan Qingzhou's expression did not waver at all, and he just nodded calmly.
Wu Ci coughed at this time and said slowly: "We are gathering here today to discuss the matter of Sect Master Liang joining the Xuanxin Palace. I wonder what fellow Taoists think about it. Why don't you tell me?"
Liu Changshou smiled and said: "Is this still necessary to discuss? Yuzhu Mountain is also one of the Seven Mountains and Twelve Cities. As the acting sect leader of Yuzhu Mountain, Liang Daoyou led his disciples all the way to come to the alliance and enter the Xuanxin Palace. It is natural.
.”
As soon as he finished speaking, someone sneered: "That's not what you said. After all, Liang Yan is not a disciple of Yuzhu Mountain, he is just an honorary elder who joined temporarily. If a person like him can also represent Yuzhu Mountain to enter the Xuanxin Palace, then the rules
Isn’t it all chaos?”
The one who spoke was none other than Ji Sheng Demon Lord. Sure enough, among the five forces guarding him, he was the first to oppose Liang Yan's entry into the Xuanxin Palace.
"What Taoist Fellow Jisheng said is wrong." Liu Changshou shook his head, obviously not agreeing with his statement, "Now is the Great War between the North and the South. It is an extraordinary period. There is no need to stick to the rules. Liang Yan single-handedly saved the Taoism of Yuzhu Mountain. Only
Only then can he be recognized by the disciples of Yuzhu Mountain, otherwise why not ask someone else to be the acting sect leader? Therefore, only he has the qualification to enter the Xuanxin Palace."
"absurd!"
Jisheng Demon Lord laughed and said: "According to what you said, my Tianxie Demon Lord is not weak. If he can integrate enough forces, all the sects outside the five mountains and five cities will elect him as the leader, right?
Can you also enter Xuanxin Palace?"
"Tianxie Demon Lord?" A chuckle came from the east, and a vigorous voice slowly said: "This man is arrogant and looks down on the heroes of the world. He is just like you. Elders from various sects,
Among the sect masters and the casual cultivators, who of them truly obeys him? Let alone recommending him as the leader of the alliance, I am afraid that even if we gather everyone together, we will not be able to do it."
"Gu Tian, don't speak too absolutely!" The eyes of Ji Sheng Demon Lord flashed with light, and there was a hint of terrifying coercion faintly exuding from his body.
Gu Tian was not afraid at all, he laughed it off and did not quarrel with it.
Several people were arguing, but Liang Yan was secretly observing.
He found that among the main defenders, only the Supreme Demon Lord was strongly opposed to his joining, and the other four forces seemed to be somewhat wavering and noncommittal.
"Interesting, it turns out that the main guard sect is not all thinking the same way, each has its own ideas. From this point of view, my chances of joining Xuanxin Palace are not small."
Just as he was thinking secretly, the quarrel between Liu Changshou and Jisheng Demon Lord became more and more intense. The two of them insisted on their own opinions and refused to give in to each other, but everyone else remained silent.
Suddenly, Shenxiaoshan Zuolin interrupted the quarrel between the two.
"Two fellow Taoists, please be patient and listen to what the Taoist has to say."
Although this man looked white-haired, his cloudy old eyes were filled with light. He waved the fly whisk and said in a deep voice: "The Xuanxin Palace holds the highest power of Nanxuan. Every order issued from here will
It may determine the life or death of millions or even tens of millions of monks, so we have to be careless. As the acting sect leader of Yuzhu Mountain, Liang Daoyou is fully qualified to join the Xuanxin Palace, but his foundation is too shallow.
In addition, the origin is quite controversial, which is why today's debate is happening. The old Tao suggested that we each ask Sect Leader Liang a question and get his answer before making a decision. When the time comes, the nine of us will vote at the same time. Once we vote, we will not be allowed to vote.
Don’t regret it again.”
After listening to Zuo Lin's words, most of the people present nodded slightly, obviously recognizing his proposal. As for the Supreme Demon King, although he was somewhat reluctant, he could not reverse everyone's thoughts by himself.
So it can only be defaulted.
"The old man comes first."
Zuo Lin faced Liang Yan, bowed his head and said, "Sect Master Liang, I'm sorry for offending you. If you find it inconvenient, you don't have to answer."
"No problem." Liang Yan smiled and said, "Fellow Taoist, you can ask questions."
"Okay." Zuo Lin nodded, "I want to ask Sect Master Liang, if you successfully enter the Xuanxin Palace today and become one of us, what position will you take in the North-South War? Will you focus on attacking? Or will you focus on defending?
"
This question was asked straightforwardly. It can be said that all nine people present wanted to know the answer to this question.
"Lord guard!"
Liang Yan did not hesitate and answered simply and neatly.
As soon as he finished speaking, some people present immediately changed their expressions, but he immediately smiled and said: "It's also the main attack!"
Now it was everyone's turn to look at each other.
Zuo Lin frowned and said, "What does Sect Master Liang mean by this? The Xuanxin Palace discussion is for making decisions for the entire Nanxuan army. The views must be clear and cannot be divided."
Liang Yan said sternly: "It's not a dispute, it's a strategy."
"Oh? Fellow Taoist, please elaborate."
Liang Yan looked around at the crowd and said slowly: "Don't you think it's strange? Five days ago, when the poisonous men from the Beiming army came to attack the city, why were only the purple poisonous men the commander-in-chief and not even a single Kuva man?"
"What's so strange about this?" The Demon King Ji Sheng snorted coldly: "Maybe it's just a test by the Bei Ming Army."
"No!"
Liang Yan shook his head and said: "I have seen the prototype of this poison in Nanchui. One of its important raw materials is the 'soul-destroying energy' contained in the bottom of the Sea of Souls. And during the battle of annihilation of the sect in Wuzhuang Mountain,
I have seen this kind of poisonous people before. In comparison, the poisonous people who attacked the city five days ago had obviously insufficient "soul-destroying energy" in their bodies. If my guess is correct, the people behind the Beiming Army
There may be a big problem with the supply, which also means that they are temporarily unable to produce poisonous people, but in order to deceive us, the poisonous tide cannot be stopped, so they forced the purple poisonous people to attack the city."
Everyone was surprised when they heard his answer. Even Wu Ci, who believed in him, was a little surprised.
"Sect Master Liang, this is a major military matter, don't talk nonsense! That day the poisonous people attacked the city, although the nine of us did not go there in person, we all used our spiritual senses to explore the situation, and we did not see the clues you mentioned.
Is your level of cultivation still higher than that of the nine of us?" Zuo Lin asked with a serious face.
Liang Yan smiled slightly and said: "How dare Liang to say that he is superior to all fellow Taoists? I will not hide the matter from everyone now. In fact, I entered Juntian City by chance and practiced the "Shennong Emperor Sutra", so I can read it.
Get a clue."
"What?" Zuo Lin said in surprise: "You have practiced the true technique of Shennong's lineage? That is the nemesis of the Poison Saint!"
Liang Yan sighed and said leisurely: "Although the Shennong lineage is the nemesis of the Poison Saint, Liang is not Shennong Tuo after all. His cultivation level is too far apart, so he cannot defeat Beiming's poisonous people."
Zuo Lin also realized his gaffe, nodded and said: "Yes, although the technique is restrained, the Poison Saint is already an old monster that has lived for hundreds of thousands of years. Even if Shen Nong Tuo is resurrected, it may not be that easy to deal with him. Just now
I lost my composure, fellow Taoist, please forgive me."
"It doesn't matter."
Liang Yan laughed and said: "As I said just now, there may be a problem in the rear of the Beiming Army, so I suggest that the army stick to the Great Wall first, and secretly send a team of elites to sneak into the rear of the Beiming Army to investigate the matter. If there is really a problem,
If there is a flaw, we can work together internally and externally to capture Beiming in one fell swoop. But if we can't find a flaw, we will continue to hold on. After all, the enemy's force is huge and we are not sure of victory, so we must not attack rashly."
"As for Liang's so-called 'main attack', it is actually a counterattack after defense. Either he does not take action. Once he takes action, he must go straight to Huanglong and disintegrate the opponent's core. Otherwise, Beiming will react and their overall military strength will be greater than that of our Nanxuan."
By then, Nanxuan will definitely be in a passive position."
"So that's it!"
Zuo Lin showed a thoughtful look, stroking his long beard, and after pondering for a moment, he said: "That's it, the old Taoist has no problem anymore, you fellow Taoists can figure it out."
After saying that, he slapped his head and looked at Liang Yan no longer as coldly as before. Everyone knew his attitude.
"Fellow Daoist Liu, what about you?"
Sitting next to Zuo Lin was Liu Changshou. When he saw Zuo Lin asking, he knocked his wooden stick on the turtle's back and said with a smile: "Zongzhu Liang is the most talented person in the world. I just want to ask, what is that spiritual beast you raise?"
Time to show me?"
Liang Yan couldn't help but smile after hearing this.
It seems that the monks at Ten Thousand Beast Mountain are somewhat old and dishonest. If they talk about this in such an important meeting, then Li Yile and Li Banchi may have followed this senior brother.
"Definitely next time." Liang Yan said calmly.
"Okay." Liu Changshou nodded, seriously there was no problem anymore.
Next it was Fan Qingzhou's turn. He put down the book in his hand and said with a smile: "Sect Master Liang, I only want to ask you one question."
At this point, the voice suddenly disappeared, and the second half of the sentence actually used the secret of sound transmission: "I wonder if you have seen this person?"
While speaking, a picture was transmitted to Liang Yan's consciousness.
In the picture, there is a man, tall, with arms and waist, long hair hanging down behind him, and he looks extremely handsome.
Liang Yan looked familiar, and then he suddenly remembered that this was the prisoner he saw in Fang Huxian Valley when he participated in the selection and assessment of Wushuang City!
"Why is it him?"
Liang Yan was surprised, and his expression froze for a moment. How could he not see how much cultivation Fan Qingzhou had when he was focused on him now?
"It seems that Taoist friend has seen it before." Fan Qingzhou said happily.
Liang Yan knew that he had revealed a flaw, so he immediately regained his composure and said calmly: "Fellow Taoist, this matter has nothing to do with the war between the North and the South. Liang refuses to answer."
"you!"
Fan Qingzhou's face was slightly angry, but he quickly calmed down, his eyes flashed, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"Forget it, I've finished asking my questions." After saying that, he picked up the book in his hand again and seemed to be reading again.
"Amitabha!"
As soon as Fan Qingzhou finished speaking, he heard the name of the Buddha, but it was Venerable Great Ku who said: "Sect Master Liang, if during the battle, you encounter monks from Beiming who are willing to abandon their evil ways and return to the right path, are you willing to leave them a way to live?"
"Do not stay!"
Liang Yan answered very decisively: "On the battlefield, how can we tell whether the other party has really abandoned evil and returned to the right path? If we let him go for a moment, he might become a butcher's knife swung at our Nanxuan army in the future.
They are merciful, who is merciful to our army?"
After hearing this, the Great Suffering Master's face became even more sad, and he didn't seem to fully agree.
After a moment of silence, he asked again: "If there is a task that requires a small group of monks to serve as bait, will Sect Leader Liang sacrifice them to complete the task?"
This time, Liang Yan did not answer immediately and was silent for a long time.
After a while, I heard him say in a deep voice: "In a battlefield, casualties are inevitable. If it really comes to this point, I will not deceive my subordinates. The right to choose should be theirs, not mine."
"Good!"
Venerable Great Ku put his hands together and nodded slightly, but said no more words.
After he asked, he went to the Mirror of Sorrow beside him.
This woman is the deputy city lord of White Jade City. She has white clothes and white hair. Her whole body is like a piece of ice that has not melted for thousands of years. Where she is, even the bright sunshine gives people a biting feeling.
