Today at Mao hour, a great event happened at the west gate of Shangyun City.
Ouyang Lan, the lord of Shangyun City, mobilized nearly five thousand soldiers and horses to surround a man who was no more than twenty years old.
Judging from his appearance, he seemed to be struggling between taking action and not taking action.
Who can tell me what exactly happened? The cultivators at the West City Gate, whether they were just starting out or lone rangers who had been licking blood for a long time, were all shouting in their hearts at this moment.
Horrified.[
It can be said that they were really horrified. If Ouyang Lan hadn't done anything else... these cultivators would probably think that the monster was preparing to invade Shangyun City.
Ouyang Lan dispatched troops and horses to surround Ana Shen, which was a decision he made in a flash of inspiration.
He couldn't imagine that if Shen Yan was allowed to develop like this, the latter would directly leave him far behind next time.
Ouyang Lan has no doubt that Shen Yan's temperament of being able to retreat and advance will put all the conflicts between them behind.
In fact, although Ouyang Lan felt that Ana Shen hurt the housekeeper and robbed the elixir, which caused great loss to his face, but at this point, his thoughts of reconciliation were actually greater than his thoughts of making the latter pay the price.
But will Ana Shen reconcile with him?
Not to mention what happened with the Wanjian Sect, the mere annihilation of the Shen family was enough to make Shen Yan completely antagonize him.
When Ouyang Lan learned the news, he was stunned for a while, because he did not have the ability or the means to completely freeze the entire Shen family with a wave of his hand.
But Ouyang Lan also knew that if he told Shen Yan the truth, the latter would definitely not believe it, and would instead attribute all the source of the Shen family's annihilation to him.
Revenge of genocide, reconciliation? What a joke!
Ouyang Lan didn't believe that Shen Yan would reconcile with him, and he even felt that the latter didn't know about the genocide of the Shen family at this time. Otherwise, he might have started a fight with him, and how could he be so calm.
But after dispatching soldiers and horses to surround Ana Shen, Ouyang Lan was confused again.
What should he do now? Kill Ana Shen? He didn't think that the other party could survive surrounded by five thousand black cloud troops.
But now Shen Yan's expression is a little too strange. He is neither panic nor surprised... Instead, he is extremely calm, as if he has some trump card and is not afraid of anything at all.
It was precisely because of this look that Ouyang Lan did not dare to take action.
What if Shen Yan is really capable and drags himself to death but also seriously injures him and the five thousand soldiers?
But letting Ana Shen leave like this made him a little worried. The other party's growth rate was beyond his expectation, and Ouyang Lan even felt that this was his last chance to kill the other party.
If he misses it, he will no longer have the opportunity and means to threaten Ana Shen.
While Ouyang Lan was struggling, she noticed a handsome-looking man in a green shirt walking towards him step by step.[
Even in the face of nearly five thousand soldiers and horses, this man in green shirt, who did not leak any vitality, remained expressionless.
Ouyang Lan was slightly stunned by such an episode, but had no intention of stopping the other party.
It was one thing for him to stop Ana Shen, but it was another thing to close the city gate tightly and keep everyone inside the city. He had no such intention, so seeing that the man in green shirt seemed to be leaving the city, He just turned a blind eye and disappeared.
At this time, Ana Shen also felt the breathing of the cultivators behind him pause for a moment, and the eyes of thousands of black cloud troops were slightly distracted for a moment, and then they turned their heads.
(Xu Lian? Why is he here?)
Before Shen Yan could say anything, Xu Lian stood directly beside him, about thirty steps away from Ouyang Lan.
"City Lord Ouyang is so polite!" Xu Lian's voice made Ana Shen's heart clear, and she felt like a spring breeze.
Ouyang Lan had originally focused half of his attention on Xu Lian, but when he saw the other person cupping his fists and greeting him indifferently, he was stunned for a moment again.
What is going on? Ouyang Lan asked herself in confusion, do I know this guy? No... This is obvious.
"...Who are you..." Although Ouyang Lan was confused, she still raised her eyes and looked at Xu Liandao.
"Xu Lian." Xu Lian's voice did not waver at all, "Shen Yan is my friend."
Ana Shen was naturally confused at first as to why Xu Lian came to say hello to Ouyang Lan, but she did not expect that this guy actually reported their relationship directly without even saying a few words.
Sure enough, Ouyang Lan's expression suddenly froze, and his voice suddenly became deeper.
"Oh? Listening to what you said, could it be that you and Ana Shen want to go against me?"
Xu Lian seemed to be frightened by the cold voice and quickly shook his head.
"Of course not." Although he shook his head eagerly, the strange thing was that his voice was still extremely calm.
Ouyang Lan felt relieved when he heard this. He saw that the man in green shirt did not have any aura of a cultivator at all.
But there are many secret ways to hide cultivation in the world. If the other party is also a cultivator in the Zhoutian realm, it is extremely normal for him not to notice the other party's cultivation.
"Presumptuous!!!" Xu Lian had just finished shaking his head. Before Ouyang Lan's thoughts could even turn around, he suddenly frowned and shouted angrily.
What was different from the previous calmness was that this voice contained full anger and murderous intent.
As a result, the dark night horse under Ouyang Lan's crotch was frightened and raised its front hooves, and then let out a panicked neigh.
"Against you? You, Ouyang Lan, are no more than a city lord in Yuncheng. Even if the Zhao family sees me, they have to respectfully call me Mr. Xu!" [
"Am I going against you? Humph. It depends on whether you, Ouyang Lan, can bear it!"
Zhao Family! The murderous intent and pride in Xu Lian's eyebrows were full of suspicion. After he finished speaking, Ouyang Lan almost fell off the horse.
He didn't believe that the other party was telling lies. After all, the Supervisory Heaven Pavilion monitors the world. Mentioning Zhao Qingxu's name will be noticed by the Supervisory Angel. You can imagine how powerful someone who uses the Zhao family royal family to lie must be. courage!
But this does not mean that Ouyang Lan believes this outrageous and even extremely ridiculous statement.
Hesitant to believe, Ouyang Lan almost regretted why he had thrown out those contradictory words inexplicably.
Friends... there is also a difference between ordinary friends and life-and-death acquaintances. The other party may not have any intention of being involved in this matter, but he is involved in it on his own initiative.
But Ana Shen was so shocked by Xu Lian's words that she almost dropped her chin to the ground. The latter was actually related to the Zhao family?
But he thought about the soul-fixing tea that Xu Lian drank for him at that time, and the ninth-grade fate-defying and heaven-defying elixir that day... It seemed that it was related to the royal family, and it was not unimaginable.
However, only a few people heard these words, and Xu Lian did not seem to want to spread the news of the explosion.
Therefore, the Black Cloud Army and many cultivators on the periphery looked at a loss, because they had no idea what the man in blue shirt said.
After seeing the other party say a few words with anger, Ouyang Lan's expression suddenly changed, as if he was in extreme disbelief.
Although these cultivators were curious, no one had the guts to step forward and hear what was going on. The aura exuded by the five thousand soldiers in heavy black armor was too solemn.
"Ouyang Lan. I order you to get off your horse and apologize immediately, otherwise you will consider replacing your position as Lord of Cloud City!"
Xu Lian's words were not surprising, but because he had deliberately controlled his words, and because his voice was directly shaken away by the evil aura from the Black Cloud Army, it did not dissipate at all.
However, Ouyang Lan was very close to him, so he heard it very clearly.
Not to mention how ugly Ouyang Lan's face was, Ana Shen was wailing in frustration at this time.
(Is this guy Xu Lian crazy? ...The current situation is that we are in a weak position! Pressuring the opponent like this will probably directly make Ouyang Lan angry and bully the smaller one!)
Of course Shen Yan knew whether Xu Liang was crazy or not, but he felt that these words were undoubtedly too crazy.
"Apologise?" Ouyang Lan lowered his head slightly, and then groaned. He was a little unsure whether this person named Xu Lian really had the capital, or was trying to maintain his appearance.
But if you can say such words without fear under the gaze of five thousand soldiers and horses, whether it is true or false, just that self-confidence makes people have to take it seriously.
If it had been any other time, Ouyang Lan would not have endured this humiliation. Being able to bend and stretch is what a man does.
Otherwise, if you really hit the iron plate and were taken away by the other party as the Lord of Shangyun City, you would have regrets.
Of course, what's more important is that he doesn't know Xu Lian well enough.
Insufficient understanding means that he does not know the other party's cards and credentials, so he can only have a dubious attitude.
He can't offend too much, and he can't be too cowardly. Therefore, an apology is absolutely unavailable. After all, in front of so many cultivators and black cloud troops, if he bows to others, it will definitely be a loss of face.
"Ignorance is a crime. Even if you really have something to do with me, I believe that I will definitely not punish this city lord for no reason!" Ouyang Lan jumped from his horse as he said these words. Come down.
He did not apologize, but got off his horse. It was a balance between the two. After all, he still didn't know what Xu Lian relied on.
"Hmph. With my relationship with the Zhao family, they don't care what kind of green onion you are, Ouyang Lan!" Seeing this, Xu Lian sneered, and then gently raised his sleeves, showing off to Ouyang Lan. Look clearly at what he's holding.
It was a piece of light yellow talisman paper.
"If I hadn't thought about the matter of cleaning up the situation and still needed you to maintain it, I would have killed you on the spot today with this Starfall and Earthquake Talisman!"
(Sure enough, Xu Lian’s background and identity do seem a bit difficult to deal with.)
Ouyang Lan swallowed hard and secretly felt happy.
"Forget it... Since you have a grudge against Shen Yan, I will bear witness here." When Xu Lian saw Ouyang Lan's appearance, he lowered his head and pretended to think, and then said.
"Ah?" Ouyang Lan glanced at him inexplicably, feeling extremely confused.
"I don't know what the grudge between you and Shen Yan is, but I hope that the past will be wiped out today! Lord Ouyang, what do you think?"
Xu Lian's expression became serious again, and then she stared coldly into Ouyang Lan's eyes... A layer of cold sweat could not help but break out on the latter's forehead.
