It was noon at this time, and the early summer wind was already quite warm, and in this breeze, there was also a slight sound mixed with it, like a wail or a groan.
Lai Jin straightened his clothes and then appeared outside the courtyard of Gaozhai with a solemn expression.
There was a red lantern at the door, and a red candle was burning in the lantern. Lai Jin knew that this meant that Gao Long was "resting", so he did not dare to disturb him, so he stood outside the courtyard and waited.
Two hours later, when the sun was setting and Lai Jin was feeling dizzy, the candle went out.
Not long after, a "child" who was only about four feet tall came out of the inner hall. He had a ruddy complexion and a deep breath. He had obviously gained a lot of benefits.
This person is Gao Long, a disciple of Qin Mutian.
"I pay my respects to you, Your Majesty!"
When Lai Jin saw him finally coming out, he immediately went up to him and knelt down.
"Huh? What's wrong with your face?"
After Gao Long saw the injury on his face, his eyebrows became sullen.
"Did you mess up?"
"Your Majesty, you are wise!"
Lai Jin immediately kowtowed and explained:
"The younger one went after the little girl with Ding Yue. They had already succeeded, but unexpectedly a man in black came out halfway and killed Ding Yue without saying a word. He also..."
"waste!"
Before Lai Jin finished speaking, Gao Long became furious and kicked Lai Jin out. Lai Jin wiped the ground and didn't stop until he hit the steps of the courtyard door.
"Sir, please calm down!"
"The man in black who saved Meng Qianqiu said he is your father-in-law and wants to invite you to meet at Wanbo Lake!"
Lai Jin continued to kowtow and said.
"My father-in-law?"
Gao Long was stunned for a moment, rolled his eyes a few times, and listed the women he had included in the account.
Could it be...the two rogue cultivators who were captured half a month ago?
Everyone is dead, how can I see my father-in-law?
Gao Long thought about it for a while and smiled coldly.
"You go back to recuperate first."
Unexpectedly, Gao Long was very cautious in his heart and did not even bother to meet the "father-in-law". This was beyond everyone's expectations and made Lai Jin anxious like an ant on a hot pot.
"Sir...won't you go to the appointment?"
"how?"
"Are you teaching me how to do something?!"
Gao Long snorted coldly.
"No... I don't dare..."
"only..."
Lai Jin's mind was spinning rapidly, thinking about what kind of excuses he would use to make Gao Long have to walk...
"Just what?"
"It's just...just..."
Seeing the hesitation, Gao Long couldn't help but lose his patience.
"Are you tired of living?"
He was about to take action to suppress it. At this moment, Lai Jin finally had a flash of inspiration in his head and heard him blurt out:
"It's just that the man in black specifically told me that his surname is Qin!"
"Sir, I am afraid that you will misunderstand, so I dare not..."
"What?!"
"The surname is Qin?!"
Gao Long was shocked. What this surname represents in Yunmengze is now well known. Most people would not dare to use this name to show off in the market.
"Is it...senior brother?"
"This won't last seconds..."
He thought about it in his mind for a long time, but still couldn't rest assured.
"You idiot!"
"You didn't say such an important thing earlier!"
Gao Long shouted angrily, and kicked Lai Jin directly out of the courtyard door. The latter wailed and rolled into the pool beside him. By the time he climbed ashore, Gao Long had long disappeared.
"It's not advisable to stay here for a long time, it's more important to save your life!"
When he thought this, he ran away in despair with his tail between his legs.
On this side, Lai Jin finally lured Gao Long away. On the other side, Meng Bai and Meng Qianqiu, who had been waiting for a long time, finally found an opportunity and entered the territory of Qianlingpo.
Because Gao Long was here before, the two of them entered rashly, which would inevitably attract his attention. And Gao Long's cultivation level was already at the peak of the Golden Core. With Meng Bai's current strength, he would not be able to escape detection safely.
Qin Shaoyou asked Gao Long out just to lure the tiger away from the mountain.
The reason why Qin Shaoyou did not come in person was because he was not familiar with the Qian Lingpo Meng family. Secondly, he did not know Meng Tianying, and it was impossible to gain the latter's trust easily.
After careful consideration, he asked Meng Bai and Meng Qianqiu to come and meet the head of the Meng family.
"The head of the family is usually at Qianling Hall, but there should be Gao Long's spy there."
Meng Qianqiu reminded.
At this moment, the sky had darkened. Under the cover of Meng Bai, the two of them were like two shadows, passing through the Meng family's sentry without any sound, heading directly towards the Thousand Spirits Hall.
"There are indeed hidden disguises, but they are all people in the foundation-building stage. Just follow me!"
Like civet cats, Mengbai and the others came to the outside of Qianling Palace quietly. At this moment, the hall was brightly lit, and there were two casual cultivators who were drinking and fist-fighting in the courtyard. They were really arrogant.
At first glance, these two people were Gao Long's men. Although the Meng family were very angry about this, fortunately, these two people were outside the palace and did not go in. Both sides were frantically testing around their respective bottom lines, maintaining extreme
Subtle peace.
In the main hall, Meng Tianying, who was standing in front of a giant mural with his hands behind his hands, moved his ears slightly, and a trace of doubt flashed between his eyebrows. After thinking about it, he secretly installed a layer of sound insulation in the main hall.
enchantment.
"You two are calling me late at night, what advice do you have?"
He looked behind a certain bead.
It wasn't until he entered the main hall that Meng Bai was shocked to find that Meng Tianying's cultivation level was as high as the middle stage of Nascent Soul!
Although her cultivation level has declined now, she was actually in the middle Nascent Soul stage before, and her perception of this realm is very familiar.
A family head in the middle stage of Nascent Soul is actually willing to be at the mercy of Gao Long, who is in the late stage of Jindan?!
"Junior Mengbai, I have met the head of the family!"
Meng Bai walked out from behind the pillar and nodded to Meng Tianying, who seemed to have thought of something and his heart skipped a beat.
"Junior Meng Qianqiu has met the head of the family!"
Meng Qianqiu walked out from the other side and bowed to him. The latter also looked at this woman with special eyes, but he didn't expect that she would also come back.
It seems that sometimes, direct descendants are not as promising as collateral descendants.
"Your name is...Mengbai?!"
Meng Tianying deliberately lowered his voice, looked at her and confirmed again.
"Yes, I am Mengbai!"
"How...the master of the family knows my name?"
"Two hundred years ago, the Beiling Mountains attacked Yunmengze, and only one person escaped without surrender. How could I not know?"
"But since you left, what did you come back for?"
Meng Tianying once again strengthened the soundproof barrier in the hall. Not only that, he also released a phantom formation. From the outside, the scene inside would not change at all.
Meng Bai had completely confirmed in her heart that Meng Tianying was truly in the middle stage of Nascent Soul. Now she felt very puzzled and even complained a little.
"If this junior understands correctly, the master's cultivation level is much stronger than that of Gao Long, right?"
"In this case, why should we, the Meng family, be so humble to him?"
"If it weren't for my current decline in cultivation, I would..."
Meng Tianying had long known that she would think so. In fact, most people would be confused about what he did after knowing it.
"Do you know, two hundred years ago, when Beiling Mountain raised troops to conquer Yunmengze, what kind of cultivation did I have?"
He sighed a little lonely and asked himself:
"It's the late stage of divine transformation!"
"It's just one step away from entering the Void Refining Realm!"
"But even so, I still couldn't save the entire Meng family!"
"You are too young. Since you have saved your life, then don't worry about these grudges anymore. Leave here. This place is no longer the Yunmengze it used to be."
Meng Tianying's words really shocked the two women present. If this was really the case, then wouldn't it be nonsense for Qin Shaoyou to overthrow the Beiling Mountain?
Meng Tianying issued an eviction order, but Meng Bai did not intend to admit defeat.
"Master, I understand your hard work, but how many more years can you protect the Meng family even if you endure the humiliation and bear the burden like this?"
"With Beiling Mountain here, the Meng family will never be able to succeed!"
Meng Tianying listened quietly, but there was no trace of anger on his face, because he knew that Meng Bai was telling the truth.
"Then what do you think I should do?"
"Kill Gao Long, get rid of those traitors, and then go to Xianyuan Mansion City to have a life-or-death showdown with Qin Mutian?"
"I won't bet the entire Meng family!"
After Meng Bai heard this, her heart suddenly moved, and she heard her stern retort:
"No!"
"You made the bet a long time ago, but you lost the bet back then!"
At this time, not only Meng Tianying, but also Meng Qianqiu couldn't help but take a breath of air.
"What did you say?!"
"In the first battle back then, clan leader, you could have led the clansmen out of the siege, but you pinned the hopes of the entire Meng family on the secret of the Black Dragon Pond!"
"If this were not the case, how could the Meng family have come to this point!"
"Enough!"
"You don't understand anything!"
Meng Tianying was so angry that he almost dispersed the illusory formation. Fortunately, the two casual cultivators outside were already drunk, rubbing their eyes and laughing at each other for being dazzled.
"Who told you this!"
"Who asked you to come back?"
Meng Tianying finally paid attention to these two people.
Compared with Meng Tianying's reaction, what shocked Meng Bai even more was Qin Shaoyou's judgment on the matter.
Long before she came, Qin Shaoyou had already deduced that when Meng Tianying led the Meng family and surrendered to the Qin family in Black Dragon Pond, it would not be without purpose, because the Yunmeng Ze area was very vast, with Qianling Slope and Black Dragon Pond
There are countless paths to take, but Mengjia just chose Black Dragon Pond!
Moreover, Lai Jin also inadvertently revealed that Gao Long has been asking Meng Tianying about the secrets of Black Dragon Pond, so this place must have a lot of news!
Qin Shaoyou actually inferred the situation back then with just a few words, which completely impressed Mengbai.
"If I said that the person who asked me to come back is the son of King Qin, would you believe it?"
Meng Bai used sound transmission for this sentence, but in Meng Tianying's ears, it was as deafening as thunder!
"The previous owner of the sacred mountain was the son of King Qin?!"
"Isn't he already dead?!"
"No, he's not dead, he's back!"
Meng Bai stared at Meng Tianying's face, the latter's expression could explain everything.
"So, head of the family, can we have a good talk now?"
