Jiang Feng wanted to say something bad, but it was inappropriate to think about it. Besides, the earth-level monk seemed not to have gone far yet.
He looked helplessly at Yu Xiaoman. Although he was confident that he could dig out more information from Yu Xiaozheng, the former would definitely not give him such a chance. Yi was a very cautious girl. Even Yu Xiaozheng himself, after several confrontations,
, I am afraid that he will gradually become "sophisticated" with experience. Moreover, after experiencing the "life-saving" incident of Yufeng Sect Chui Gongcheng, Jiang Feng would not be able to take advantage of Yu Xiaozheng again.
There are two tenets of "rolling wool": one is that you can't roll the wool of the same sheep all the time, otherwise the sheep will become bald; the other is that you can't roll familiar sheep, and you must have basic moral integrity.
"Thank you for the land deed. We won't take it for nothing. Together with the land in East Lake and Nuangu counties, and the equity of the three branches, you can take 10% of it, in your own name or in the name of the Qianshan Sect."
10%?
Although it's not much, it's better than what the big brother gets for free. Of course, he believes that the big brother won't have such an intention to take advantage of it for free. It's definitely not a good idea to do business on the Qianshan Sect's territory without giving him, a "local snake", any benefit.
It cannot last. The reason why Yu Chengtong took action was simply to give the juniors a good start.
As for whose name to use, it is naturally his own. The income from the sect's treasury cannot be fed back to him, and vice versa. Is it possible that Yu Xiaoman secretly investigated himself after knowing his identity? He knew that Jiang Feng would succeed as the leader.
How many agreements followed? Thinking about it, this possibility is not high. After all, few people will disclose such detailed issues to outsiders. This kind of inquiry is probably due to an occupational disease of businessmen.
But Jiang Feng's current focus is not here. Although spiritual stones are very important, and without money, there would be nothing like what we have now, but life is more important. Without life, there is no future.
"What happened to Mr. Chang Ting?"
"We have no comment."
"But..." Jiang Feng's mood dropped rapidly. He thought, "What are you doing here? Are you really just here to expand trade routes? No one will believe this lame excuse."
"In fact, we don't know the progress of the whole thing. Uncle Sixteen only came with us for some private matters. The person in charge of this matter is our Seventh Uncle Yu Chengke. Counting the time, he should have arrived at Hanshan by now.
Paijiuding Town.”
"Jiuding Town" is the seat of the Hanshan Sect, and its status to the Qianshan Sect is roughly the same as "Luochuan Capital". The Changting Lord incident theoretically only involves the Yufeng Sect and the Li Sect, which is a minor issue.
Said that it only concerns the Ling family and the Yu family. The two sides can choose any city to discuss the matter as the boundary between the two sects is actually very long. It is convenient and efficient. But now the Hanshan sect has been chosen for the negotiation.
The location must have a special purpose.
"Is there anything you can share about the Seven Alliances?"
Compared with the last time he asked Yu Xiaoman for information, Jiang Feng's identity as the leader of the Qianshan Sect has surfaced, and through the upcoming store cooperation, there is the possibility of a deeper partnership between the two parties. Jiang Feng believes that Shrewd
Yu Xiaoman will naturally re-evaluate his own value and give different information.
"Zhong Jun, the leader of Yanqiling, has died, Qi Fan, the leader of Lingyun Mountain, has disappeared for no reason, and the two sects have been completely defeated. This Hanshan Dharma Conference is actually the first formal negotiation between the Seven Alliances."
Negotiations? It seems that as Jiang Hai found out, the Seven Alliance has already begun preparations for armistice and peace talks. However, Jiang Hai does not know that Jindan and prefecture-level monks are also involved in the war. One is dead and the other is missing. For the alliance led by the leader of Biyun
, is a huge loss. I am afraid it is unrealistic not to cut some flesh during the negotiation.
"What about Luoyingmen?"
As the only Seven Alliance sect that had some connection with the Qianshan Sect, Jiang Feng would naturally ask. Although the method of stealing treasures and selling stolen goods was severely squeezed by the other party, this hidden line could not be lost at the moment.
"The Luo Ying Clan defected midway and has joined the Chi Xia Clan."
"What? This is okay?"
"That's right, if it weren't for this matter, Zhong Jun, the head of Yanqiling, would not have fallen. Now Tianli Sect, Chixia Sect, Jincheng Sect, and Luoying Sect belong to the same party, and the only opponents are Biyun Sect and Gujian Sect.
But it is still hanging on, because the leader is missing, Lingyun Mountain is now in chaos, and most of Yanqiling's territory has been divided up by the Jincheng Sect, Chixia Sect, and Luoying Sect."
Wouldn't it be possible that it would be adjacent to Chixiamen or Luoyingmen?
Yanqiling has always been a very low-key existence. The leader Zhong Jun and Jiang Feng only know his name from various reports. If Chixiamen were their neighbors, then...
Jiang Feng could imagine that Zeng Baoxian would not stay there peacefully and be a silent neighbor. Even Luoyingmen seemed to be much better than Chixiamen. As the initiator of the whole thing, the original three alliances were Tianlimen, Chixiamen, and Hanshan.
The middleman of the faction believes that Zeng Baoxian will not be satisfied with a small piece of territory so easily. It is estimated that it will be difficult to satisfy his appetite with just the Fengling Valley Spirit Vein.
But it's not all bad. There is rebellion among Luoyingmen, and at least Tianlimen can't go too far west, so it won't have any intersection with Qianshan Sect.
"In other words, your seventh uncle will also participate in the peace talks of the Seven Alliances?" Jiang Feng expressed his previous guess.
"I think so, although I don't understand why." Yu Xiaoman gave an almost affirmative answer. It seemed that she was not ignorant but was indeed kept in the dark.
Every move of a prefecture-level monk will most likely be tainted by the interests of the sect. Therefore, Yu Chengke will participate in the peace talks, which is likely to be true. But Li Zong is obviously an extraterritorial sect! It has nothing to do with any of the Seven Alliances.
None of the sects share a border with each other, and they don't even share half a foot of common border with the Hanshan Sect. On the surface, it seems unreasonable to interfere in the internal affairs of the Seven Alliances.
But their fists are big.
What do they want?
Jiang Feng looked at Yu Xiaoman with a confused look on his face, but couldn't get any more answers. Maybe she knew some inside information, but maybe she really didn't know anything. Her expression under the black veil could not be detected, so he couldn't help but look at Yu Xiaozheng.
"He doesn't know, but I still picked him up on the way." Yu Xiaoman seemed to see through Jiang Feng's thoughts, "Xiao Zheng, give the things to Master Jiang."
Got something for me?
Soon he saw a familiar storage bag, which was the Tuobatu. Unlike the magical weapons or spiritual stones that he expected to take out, what Yu Xiaozheng threw out were a few letters.
"This is?"
Jiang Feng spread them out and looked at them one by one, his expression gradually becoming grim.

The ecological changes caused by the death of the queen are still being slowly repaired. When the queen is lost, a small number of remaining female ants will transform into new queens, and then continue to reproduce the colony until one colony has achieved absolute success.
advantage, and then annex the entire community and become the new ruler here.
But this will take at least several decades. At this time, the ant nest is full of desolation and desolation. Occasionally, newly hatched worker ants will quietly emerge from the deserted corners and carefully look for food everywhere.
Knowing where the hole leads to the ground, he worked hard until the last moment of his life.
Hundreds of feet underground, on a plain, slightly wide platform, a middle-aged monk who was bound all over his body, with various talismans attached to his body, was breathing heavily in the slightly bright cave. He seemed to
He was seriously injured, but not life-threatening.
The entire space is a little cramped, and the surrounding dark stone walls seem to have been temporarily broken open by brute force. However, more than one magic circle has been arranged to isolate spiritual power fluctuations and sounds. The occasional flickering light reflects on the sallow face of the trapped monk.
It looks like he hasn't eaten in days.
"Old Qi, have you thought about it? Let me ask again, what is that person's weakness?"
"Hoo"
The monk was breathing heavily, as if he was trying to regain his strength, and seemed to be thinking about something. His dry eyes were dim and blurred, "I really don't know. Although I have had some dealings with him, I don't know."
"Keep pretending," a thin figure came up and patted his face with a big hand, "Say it, and we can still send you back. Although you have failed in Lingyun Mountain, you can still be the leader of a sect.
, otherwise if you are not here, Lingyun Mountain will be gone in half a month, and only Bald Mountain will be left, your disciples, your family, and those rare spiritual herbs and spiritual objects that you have painstakingly collected. Think carefully about it."
"No more..." The monk kept murmuring, his body trembling, and then he seemed to fall into some kind of hysteria. He repeated these two words mechanically, and he suddenly laughed loudly.
"No more, finally no more, hahahahaha"
"Asshole! You are asking for death!"
The man responsible for interrogating him kicked him hard. It seemed that several days of continuous torture had made him lose interest. He spat in the other person's face several times before venting his dissatisfaction.
"Come to Chai World Realm to search for his soul. I want to search for his soul. I would rather not give up this golden elixir than to find out the truth! Go quickly, I will see Chai World Realm soon."
"Sir, it seems that the Chai World Realm cannot be achieved by just relying on spiritual stones..." the subordinate next to him reminded in a low voice.

Jiang Feng once again stepped into Xiao Mingzhen's "boudoir" at the Yuelai Inn. He seemed to feel something had changed in the atmosphere here, but he couldn't tell what it was.
The fragrance filling the air was at least different. Although Jiang Feng had no research on the expensive perfume used by this woman, he could still feel the difference from usual.
"It's just one time away from awakening the Dharma. Do you think I should be happy?" Xiao Mingzhen turned his back to Jiang Feng, his pretty figure standing in front of the window, looking intently at the snow-covered hillside outside. There were several people there.
A half-year-old child was having fun in the snow, deliberately stepping on only one footprint, which created a special artistic conception.
She suddenly asked this question, making Jiang Feng momentarily speechless.
Yes, should I be happy?
The answer is of course yes.
The secular world and cultivation are two completely different worlds. A longer lifespan, a more splendid life, but also a more depressing practice, more heart-breaking demonic obstacles, and more dangers and dangers.
From hope almost shattered, experiencing long-term painful suffering, to accepting fate, calmly bearing the fact that he can only become a mortal, and then suddenly turning around, changing his fate against fate and running towards the road of cultivation again. This feeling of twists and turns is similar to that of a twelve-year-old
Awakening to the Dharma, which was already a matter of course, is naturally completely different.
Jiang Feng understands this difference and understands this feeling. It's like being imprisoned by the spirit of the black snake, thinking that your life is not long, and then finding a way to break it. After experiencing pain, you know how precious it is.
Jiang Feng caught a glimpse of a tear in the corner of Xiao Mingzhen's eye. Although it was small, it was very clear.
"Please start!"
She made up her mind, took off the gold and jade earrings that were originally hidden in her hair, and put them away solemnly, as if she was saying goodbye to the ordinary life.
