Qin Fan and Liu Mengyao walked with their swords, one behind the other, chasing after each other.
"It's such a shock. I'm already in the early stages of my innate life, and my crystals have been condensed to the size of my thumb. How come I can't surpass you?"
"You won't let me, Miss?"
Liu Mengyao was secretly competing with Qin Fan, using her flying sword with all her strength to try to catch up with Qin Fan, but after ten minutes of hard work she still could not surpass him, which made her very discouraged.
"Your crystal is the size of an egg."
Qin Fan stepped on the flying sword and stood with his hands behind his back.
After half a month of retreat, the two of them entered the middle stage of innateness together.
Lin Xiaoyang and Xia Qinglan both broke through to the early stage of innateness.
However, Phoenix Mountain's resources have also been exhausted by them.
This time I went to Liu's house, hoping to get some resources.
Liu Mengyao said again: "Scumbag, Lin Xiaoyang has returned to the Imperial Capital. Sister Qinglan and Sister Yinuo have also gone to Europe to discuss business. We have left again. Venerable Kong is the only one left in Phoenix Mountain. What if someone comes to attack?
?”
Qin Fan said disapprovingly: "The core members of Phoenix Mountain are not in Phoenix Mountain. Even if the mountain is moved flat, with my financial resources and strength, it can still be rebuilt."
"That's our home, you put it lightly."
Liu Mengyao bit her lips lightly, then jumped onto Qin Fan's flying sword, and said with a faint smile: "Scumbag, if I really seize the throne of the leader of the ancient royal family in the future, how should you reward me?"
This time, the two went to the Liu family in Huaibei with the purpose of controlling the Liu family, and then allowing Liu Mengyao to participate in the Eight Emperors Martial Arts Tournament as a member of the Liu family.
Qin Fan asked: "Then what reward do you want?"
Liu Mengyao smiled brightly: "Any reward is fine? For example, dragon blood?"
Qin Fan said in a deep voice: "If you want to stand out in the Eight Emperors Martial Arts Tournament and become the leader of the alliance, your biggest opponent is the Ancestral Dragon Clan. With your current strength, it is not enough to convince the Ancestral Dragon Clan."
"Moreover, human energy and lifespan are limited. Using limited energy and lifespan to pursue the infinite path is like walking on thin ice."
"Your wood-building spiritual root potential is already sufficient, there is no need to practice dragon blood."
Although the Eight Emperors Martial Arts Tournament was held in early June, it was unrealistic for Liu Mengyao to deal with the Zulong clan alone. Qin Fan only needed her to participate in it, and then he would secretly help and support her.
Qin Fan didn't want this woman to do something crazy because of his promise.
Liu Mengyao's expression froze: "There's still half a year left, maybe I can go further?"
"Furthermore, Sister Qinglan has phoenix blood, you also have the blood of a great witch, and Lin Xiaoyang also has witch blood. I can't have it, right?"
"I also hope that our children...will be born with blood."
As she spoke, a blush appeared on the woman's beautiful and noble face, but there was more of a sense of anticipation.
"We?" Qin Fan frowned secretly.
"Go away, I didn't say anything about you." Liu Mengyao realized that she had said the wrong thing, and her neck immediately turned red with embarrassment.
When parting last night, she, Xia Qinglan, and Lin Xiaoyang slept together and talked about everything, including Qin Fan.
After experiencing a life and death battle, Xia Qinglan's attitude towards her and Lin Xiaoyang changed obviously.
Although I don't know what Xia Qinglan was thinking, Xia Qinglan seriously warned her and Lin Xiaoyang before going on a business trip, asking them to take more care of Qin Fan.
There is obviously something in this statement and it is very ambiguous.
"Brother, can you promise me?" Liu Mengyao said with a half-smile, her eyes innocent, imitating Ye Jingying's tone.
Qin Fan had a big head: "The days are long, don't worry about the dragon's blood, what should be there will always be there."
"Is this a promise? Brother, it's great to have you, hahaha."
When Liu Mengyao heard this, her smile suddenly spread, as if she had eaten candied fruit.
A pair of slender jade arms secretly hugged Qin Fan from behind, with his chin resting on Qin Fan's shoulders, making them intimate.
"Are you clingy?"
Qin Fan frowned slightly, picked up the woman's fragrant shoulder and threw it down among the white clouds.
"You scumbag, go to hell!"
Liu Mengyao's face turned red, and she immediately took out her flying sword and slashed at Qin Fan.
…
In Huaibei, on the north bank of Xuanshui Lake, there is a Liujia Village with a population of 8,000 people. It has been passed down from generation to generation and its genealogy can be traced back for thousands of years. It is the largest clan in the Huaihe River Basin.
After the modernization of the small village, every household has lived in large villas, with green waters, green mountains and white lakes. Now it is the beginning of spring, and the peach blossoms are in full bloom, with colorful purples and reds.
Today is the Lantern Festival. According to local etiquette, the Liu family will open a temple to worship their ancestors today.
Therefore, in previous years, the aristocratic families, high-ranking officials, and top wealthy businessmen on both sides of the river basin gathered here during the Lantern Festival in order to curry favor with the Liu family, bringing various generous gifts to honor the elders of the Liu family.
But this year during the Lantern Festival, the village was sealed off. Although there were thousands of luxury cars outside, uninvited, they refused to enter the village.
In the village, every house was covered with white curtains, as if there was a large-scale funeral.
At this time, in the ancient ancestral hall of the Liu family, all the core figures of the Liu family, including the great figures of the Renzong, appeared in the ancestral hall, a total of fifty people.
And there was endless debate.
The subject of the debate was whether to retire as a family.
"All the five elders of my Liu family have gone to Hexi, and our ancestor has also passed away. The strength of our clan has been greatly reduced. It is very likely that Phoenix Mountain will take revenge on our Liu family."
"So, old man, I suggest that before the liquidation of Phoenix Mountain comes, it is the safest thing to retire as a whole family. With the background of my Liu family, I can just retire from Xuanshui for a hundred years and wait for the younger generations to grow up.
The Liu family is another good man."
An old man's calm and authoritative voice echoed inside and outside the ancestral hall.
This person is the sixth master of the Liu family, and he is also the person with the highest say in the Liu family today.
As soon as Liu Laoliu finished speaking, many elders nodded, hoping that the whole family would retire to "Xuanshui" and hide their capabilities and bide their time for a hundred years.
"I disagree."
At this time, a middle-aged man immediately objected strongly: "What Mr. Liu is saying is inappropriate. My Liu family has been working in the secular world for five hundred years. It has a deep foundation and a big business. It has at least two trillion yuan in assets."
"Once the whole clan retires to Xuanshui, it will be equivalent to giving up these assets. Our clan has already lost five clan elders, and the ancestor is no longer here. We cannot suffer any more losses."
"Hands up to support me."
This person is Liu Feng, the head of the Liu family, who represents the young and strong faction of the family.
As soon as he finished speaking, most of the young people in the clan raised their hands.
The Young Zhuang Sect has just begun to come into contact with the core power level of the family. Previously, their roots were generally in the world of secularity and cultivation. Some were doing business, some were in power, and some were emerging in the sect, allowing them to give up their past achievements.
This is not a question of whether it is difficult, but it is impossible.
No one is willing to give up all the glory, wealth and great future to live in hardship.
When the conservatives and the young and strong factions were at loggerheads, an old man wearing a gray robe slowly stood up and said, "Please be patient for a moment. Let me say a few words."
As soon as these words came out, everything in the solemn ancestral temple suddenly became quiet, and all eyes turned to the gray-robed old man.
This old man came from the Renzong, and his name was Enshan Zhenren. He was previously the deputy sect leader of the Renzong, and he was a late Xiantian practitioner.
After the ancestor of the Liu family left, he has officially taken over as the head of the clan and been appointed by the Taoist sect.
Master Enshan paused and said in a deep voice: "There is a saying in modern times, that is, building a car behind closed doors will not make the right decisions when you go out."
"Many young children of the Liu family are practicing in the Renzong. Once the Liu family retires, these children will have to leave the sect and return to the family. This will undoubtedly be a fatal blow to their growth."
"Moreover, Senior Brother Liu promised before going to Maoshan that if something happens to him, I will be responsible for protecting the Liu family for thirty years."
"In exchange, I am entitled to freely enter and exit Liu's Xuanshui to practice."
"So, with me here, the Liu family doesn't have to retire."
After hearing the words of Master Enshan, the young and strong faction were all happy. This person helped them speak, and most of the older generation did not dare to have any opinions.
"The ancestor of my clan had an affair with the real person?"
Liu Laoliu's face stiffened, "Xuanshui is the important place of my Liu family. Our ancestors have negotiated with the real person. Why don't I know about it?"
The other clan elders all looked ugly.
Xuanshui is the Liu family’s enduring heritage for thousands of years.
Allowing an outsider, Master Enshan, to freely enter and leave the Liu family's "Xuanshui" means that the lifeline of the Liu family has been controlled by others. As a descendant of the ancient royal family, this is a shame and intolerable.
Even the young and strong faction looked ugly when they heard the news.
They had previously united with Master Enshan to put pressure on the conservatives, but they did not know that Master Enshan and the ancestors had such an exchange of interests.
This is luring the wolf into the house.
Master Enshan said with an indifferent expression: "Liu Laoliu, you don't have enough authority, so you don't know. Moreover, everyone who knew about this matter is dead."
Liu Laoliu said in a deep voice: "I don't agree with what the real person said. My Liu family has water, and no one except my clan can enter."
"This matter is not negotiable."
Master Enshan's serious face gradually turned gloomy: "Liu Laoliu, I'm afraid you don't know something. If our Renzong hadn't put pressure on Fenghuang Mountain, with Fenghuang Mountain's style, we would have killed your Liu family long ago."
"If you don't want to, I will leave now. As for Phoenix Mountain, you can deal with it yourself."
After a pause, Master Enshan said again: "Moreover, there are many people who are interested in your Liu family's Xuanshui. As far as I know, the Zulong clan, the head of the eight ancient clans, is interested."
"Once the people from Fenghuang Mountain come and occupy the Liujia Xuanshui, other tribes will have a way to attack Fenghuang Mountain and occupy your Liujia Xuanshui."
"When the time comes, if you don't blame Tiantian and Earth, don't blame me."
These words were quite harsh and were tantamount to threatening the Liu family.
But the Liu family members all had pale faces and dared not speak out in anger.
With Phoenix Mountain, the Liu family would be hard-pressed to resist. If the Ancestral Dragon Clan of the Eight Ancient Clan had an honest reason to get involved, the Liu family's strength might be destroyed.
In ancient Qing Dynasty, all generals who survived were emperors.
Liu Laoliu squinted his eyes: "Master Enshan, even my ancestors are no match for Phoenix Mountain. Although you are powerful, you are still far behind my ancestors. Even compared to my eldest brother Liu Shourong, I am afraid you are only five to five."
open."
"How can you help my Liu family resist the invasion of Phoenix Mountain?"
Master Enshan said proudly: "I am indeed no match for Phoenix Mountain, but I am confident that we will sign a non-aggression clause with Phoenix Mountain."
"Moreover, this agreement was signed between Daomen and Phoenix Mountain, and it definitely has enough influence."
There was a dead silence all over the Liu family, and the atmosphere was extremely weird.
at this time!
A hissing sound.
A green flying sword fell from the sky, passed through the door with nine entrances and nine exits, and suddenly entered the ancestral hall, pointing directly at Master Enshan.
"not good!--"
Master Enshan felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy and was about to fly back, but he was still a step too late.
