Deep in the East Mountain, several powerful men were confronting each other across the distance.
The thin old man clasped one hand on his chest to be on guard, and stared at the two figures on the tree in the distance with a pair of blue eyes.
I saw one of them standing under the moonlight, tall and tall, wearing a light gray fluttering gown, holding an origami fan, wearing a gold and jade crown, with a thin veil hanging on his face, but his fair skin could still be seen.
His eyes are long and narrow, he looks like a handsome young man, and he is extremely handsome.
The other person has a Taoist robe and a high crown, white eyebrows and long beard, and a face that is so cold that he is the Qixingzi of the Cangyan Sword Sect.
"Elder Qixing..." The thin old man did not wipe away the blood on his mouth, but carefully stared at the two people and slowly spoke, "I wonder when the Cangyan Sword Sect added such a strong person in the upper third realm.
, what a joy and congratulation."
Qi Xingzi said expressionlessly, "This person is not a member of my Cangyan Sword Sect. He has let down the good intentions of fellow Taoist fellows Xianyou."
The thin old man said "Oh", and after looking at the noble young master for a few more times, he turned around and continued to ask Qi Xingzi, "Cangyan Sword Sect is a branch of Wangchuan Sword Sect, and now he has to personally participate in the war between the princes...
...!"
Qixingzi said, "The war between the princes has nothing to do with our Cangyan Sword Sect, but the current prefect of Li County has a close relationship with our Cangyan Sword Sect. Since he has requests, we should respond to them, not to mention... Xian Youzi
Fellow Taoist, as for Zero's promise, after all, you were the one who crossed that line first."
The thin old man frowned slightly and scolded, "The current governor of Li County has a close relationship with your Cangyan Sword Sect, so you can violate the law of Dading and invade our Anling County with his army?! Not only that, but also captured Ganshuiguan and
Nancheng's front line has not given up, and now they are approaching Chunyang City. Elder Qixing, Lu Zu and others have only passed away for less than a year. Will even the Cangyan Sword Sect abandon the cauldron and ignore it?!"
There was no trace of emotion on Qi Xingzi's face, but there was a hint of anger in his tone, "Fellow Taoist Xianyou, what's the point of talking about those empty and useless principles now that things have come to this? What's going on with Dading now, what's happening with Seyi now, what should we do?
It is the most beneficial choice for our human race. Everyone has an answer in their hearts, so we just follow the answer in our hearts. I only ask you, this Anling County has long been torn apart and it is difficult to bridge it without relying on external forces.
Do you really want to protect it with your life?!"
The thin old man was silent for a moment, and then slowly exhaled, "Elder Qixing also said before that the current prefect of Li County has a close relationship with your Cangyan Sword Sect, and my Xianyouzi and Xianyoumen lineage are related to the Yan family.
Isn't that the case? In this case, there is only one battle left," he looked down at the silver-armored general who had climbed up from the ground and said with a smile, "It turns out that this was the trap you set for me from the beginning, and you are really a bastard.
She has excellent qualifications," he looked at Qixingzi again and said, "You trapped her in this formation with me, so you are not afraid that I will drag her to be buried with you when I die?!"
Qi Xingzi snorted and said nothing, but the noble young master who always had a smile on his face spoke softly, in a leisurely tone, "If you really want to drag my nephew to be buried with you, then it's just because she's not good at learning and she can't blame others."
"Oh?" The thin old man seemed to be interested. He looked up at the noble master and then looked down at the still beautiful young woman with her hair disheveled. He smiled and said, "It's your misfortune to join such a sect."
But the beautiful woman shook her head, "The law of the jungle is the law of heaven and earth. People who forget this are really unfortunate." Her eyes stared at every movement of the emaciated old man, "Old man, what did you do earlier?
Leave more room when you attack me. If you are willing to give up the Anling Yan family, I am willing to go to the prefect of Lijun to find a place for your Xianyou sect and ensure that you and your family will move into Lijun without any worries."
The thin old man seemed to be quite surprised. He frowned slightly and looked at the beautiful woman and said, "Girl, do you know how much responsibility you have to bear if you really keep your light promise?"
"No matter how big the responsibility is, I will bear it." The beautiful woman looked solemn and motionless, "The great cauldron has fallen, and the war between the princes has begun. No one can reverse it. It's okay if your Anling County is united and united, as it is now.
Sooner or later, you will die. If you die in the hands of Lijun, based on my understanding of the prefect of Lijun, your Xianyoumen lineage is still free. If you die in the hands of Guangjun Yunbailou, if your Xianyoumen lineage cannot
For his slaves, there is only one way to die. In troubled times, everyone should find their own way to make a living. Besides, old man, you are still the master of a sect, so you have to think more about all your disciples and grandchildren."
Seeing that the thin old man remained silent, she continued, "I don't know how much kindness any of the governors of the Yan family had to you, but you, the Xianyou family, have protected their descendants for so many years, so it's time to repay the great kindness.
, Now that the general situation is like this, even if you and everyone under your sect are willing to take their lives, it will not change the fate of Anling's change of ownership and the demise of the Yan family, so why let the young people die in vain?!"
"Besides, since Anling County is torn apart and has no ability to fight against the outside world, the people who suffer the most from the war are not the people. If the people in Anling can belong to Li County, more than 300,000 troops can support them.
No foreign barbarians or other princes dare to bully you easily." The beautiful woman paused for a long time after finishing her sentence. She saw the thin old man looking over and then said the last sentence, "Those who see themselves are not clear, and those who are right are not clear. Follow the sky.
Only by obeying orders is the right path."
The thin old man was suddenly startled. When he looked at the young and beautiful woman in front of him, he was no longer as relaxed as before. After pondering for a while, he raised his head and asked Qixingzi, "Elder Qixing, can you tell me who this little girl is?"
people?"
Qi Xingzi was also surprised by the beautiful woman's last words, but when the thin old man asked, he still replied, "She is the person next to the current prefect of Li County. When the prefect returned home from the capital city as a hostage, she accompanied him
.”
The thin old man looked at the beautiful woman again and said, "The decline of the Yan family is indeed inevitable, but since I have received great favor from the Yan family, I hope to preserve some incense for the Yan family..."
"Yes, but descendants of the Yan clan are not allowed to enter the Immortal Sect," the beautiful woman agreed directly, "What else do you want?"
The thin old man was a little surprised when he saw her agreeing so readily. He slowly said, "There is another option. The Xianyou Sect lineage can move to Lijun, but..." He looked at the beautiful woman.
His eyes said, "Xianyou Sect is always a Taoist sect outside the world. It will not participate in the secular world, and it should not be governed by the prefect's palace."
The beautiful woman nodded again and said, "Yes, the governor of Li County will treat Xianyoumen kindly, but you should also understand, old man, that if you are just a temporary neighbor, then you can do anything. If you want to be a long-term neighbor, Xianyoumen
We also need to be like the Cangyan Sword Sect and give full support to the decision of the prefect's palace. Only if our interests are aligned can we achieve long-term success."
The thin old man narrowed his eyes and asked, "Girl, can you really make the decision for the prefect of Li County and agree to the old man's request?!"
"It's not that I agreed to your request on behalf of the prefect of Lijun, but the prefect of Lijun himself agreed to your request." The beautiful woman reached out and took out two gold-rimmed scrolls from her arms and threw them to the emaciated old man. "I came from the west of Sancang.
At that time, he had a conversation with me, and now the content of the conversation has been basically relayed. Old sir, you have never met him, but you have already had a conversation."
The thin old man caught the two scrolls and was startled when he heard the words, and then said with emotion, "This is not God's will... The Yan family... the prefect of Li County..."
