Although everything is just speculation and there is no substantial evidence yet, Song You has already determined in his heart that the force behind Xiao Muyang must be Haotian Palace.
Hidden in the mountains, coupled with its profound heritage, these two points are completely consistent with Haotian Temple, and there is no second possibility.
Unexpectedly, after experiencing such a disaster that year, Haotian Palace has not yet been destroyed. It is even hiding in the dark to recharge its batteries. Do you want to make a comeback?
Simply wishful thinking.
"Master, Haotian Palace must have valued Xiao Muyang's talent, so they roped him in, hoping that he can lead Haotian Palace back to its peak period." Ji Tianming looked at Song You and said.
"Is that kid's talent really that strong?" Song You asked with a frown, how talented can a junior figure who is sixteen or seventeen years old be?
Ji Tianming's expression froze for a moment, and then he said: "This person's talent is indeed top-notch. First, he won the first place in the Jiuhua Mountain Grand Competition. Not long ago, in Xuanyun Mansion, he was the only one to crack the secret of Xianyue Cave Sky.
Even Xuanchuan and Qin Fusu didn't do it."
Even though Ji Tianming was very unhappy with Xiao Muyang, to be fair, Xiao Muyang's talent was really nothing to say.
Both Jian Jiu and Yu Yan were defeated by him. There should be no one in his generation who can be his opponent.
Song You's eyes showed a bit of solemnity. Ji Tianming gave such a high evaluation. It seems that Xiao Muyang's talent is indeed extraordinary. No wonder Haotian Palace attaches great importance to him.
However, it would be too childish to consider him as the master of the palace.
Can a descendant of the heavenly realm be worthy of such an important task?
"We must not let the Haotian Palace grow, otherwise there will be endless troubles." Song You looked extremely serious, looked at Ji Tianming and said solemnly: "Immediately send someone to the Qin family to inform the head of the Qin family of the news."
"Yes." Ji Tianming nodded, then thought of something, and asked: "Do you want to send someone to notify that force?"
Back then, the Haotian Palace had three major enemies, two of which were the Taiyin Palace and the Qin Family. The other enemy was not in Beihu County. It was very powerful and was also a celestial-level force.
"It's not necessary for the time being. It's just the remnants of the Haotian Palace. The power of our two major forces is enough to wipe them out." Song You said calmly.
Nowadays, the Haotian Palace is only a first-rate force. The Taiyin Palace and the Qin family can destroy it alone, let alone the two major forces joining forces. The Haotian Palace has no room to fight back.
"I killed some people secretly back then, but I didn't expect that so many unnecessary evils were left behind, which became a vague phenomenon. This time we must clean them up and no more troubles can be left behind." Song You said in a cold voice.
"Disciple, go make arrangements now." Ji Tianming immediately resigned and left.
Not long after, a letter was sent from the Taiyin Palace to Qin City in the central region, where the Qin family is located.
…………
Haotian Villa.
After more than ten days of seclusion and practice, Xiao Muyang finally came out of seclusion.
At this moment, Xiao Muyang naturally didn't know that Taiyin Palace had guessed that the force behind him was Haotian Palace. He was still too young and underestimated the energy of these top forces.
If you want to investigate the background of a force, as long as you are willing to pay the price, you can almost find out, unless the force was not in Beihu County before.
There were only Xiao Muyang and Ren Xiao in the palace. Ren Xiao said: "During this period, the villa is as quiet as usual. There is nothing unusual."
"It's best if there are no abnormalities, but you still can't let down your guard. After all, anything can happen." Xiao Muyang replied.
"That's right." Ren Xiao nodded, then looked Xiao Muyang up and down, and asked with a smile: "How does it feel to practice this time?"
"It seems that we have encountered a bottleneck, and it is difficult to calm down in my heart. I am afraid that I will not be able to make much progress in the short term." Xiao Muyang smiled bitterly and shook his head. Now his cultivation is stuck in the early stage of Zhongtian, and it is difficult to take another step forward.
It was precisely after realizing this that he planned to leave seclusion.
"Practice is a step-by-step matter. There is no need to rush it. Your practice speed is already far faster than that of your peers. If it is too fast, it will affect your foundation and the gain will outweigh the loss." Ren Xiao reminded.
"I understand." Xiao Muyang nodded with deep understanding.
It is not a good thing to practice too radically. Once the foundation is unstable, future practice will inevitably encounter obstacles. By then, even if you spend more time practicing, you may not be able to make progress.
"By the way, Uncle Ren, what's the situation outside?" Xiao Muyang suddenly asked again.
"Last time, we brought back all the people outside the Haotian Palace. We don't know what's happening in the outside world." Ren Xiao responded.
Xiao Muyang's eyes narrowed slightly. The villa was completely closed and did not know the movements of those enemies. This made them somewhat passive.
"It is still necessary to send some people out to find out the information. The number does not need to be too many, but the strength must be strong enough to ensure that they can escape unharmed when encountering danger." Xiao Muyang said.
"Understood, I will personally select people to go out later." Ren Xiao said.
"Thank you, Uncle Ren." Xiao Muyang said, and Ren Xiao waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to say thank you.
At this moment, a figure walked in from outside, looked at Xiao Muyang and Ren Xiao, bowed and said: "To the Lord of the Hall, there are people from the Situ family outside who want to see you."
"A member of the Situ family?" Xiao Muyang looked a little curious, wondering what the important matter was for the Situ family to send someone here?
"Let him come in quickly." Xiao Muyang looked at the man and said, the man responded and left here immediately.
After a moment, two figures came to the main hall. Xiao Muyang's eyes fell on one of the middle-aged figures and said, "Your Excellency, you are from the Situ family?"
"Exactly." The middle-aged man nodded slightly and said, "My young master asked me to convey a message to Palace Master Xiao."
"What news?" Xiao Muyang asked, with a trace of curiosity in his eyes.
"In the recent period, the Taiyin Palace has made a sound to the outside world. Anyone who provides information related to you will be given corresponding rewards. My young master suspects that the Taiyin Palace is investigating your whereabouts and asked me to come and inform you." The middle-aged man replied.
Xiao Muyang's eyes suddenly condensed. The Taiyin Palace investigated his whereabouts. What did he want to do?
"Could it be..." Ren Xiao trembled in his heart, and he thought of a possibility.
Xiao Muyang soon thought of the same possibility, and his face immediately turned ugly. Is he investigating the forces behind him?
If they really find out that it is Haotian Palace, the consequences will be disastrous.
The disaster of that year may happen again.
Seeing the change in Xiao Muyang's expression, the middle-aged man spoke again: "My young master also asked me to tell you that if Hall Master Xiao needs help, the Situ family is willing to help."
Xiao Muyang glanced deeply at the middle-aged man. This time the trouble was different from the past. Haotian Palace would most likely face the siege of several top forces. If the Situ family intervened, they would also suffer tremendous pressure and trouble.
"I know, I will convey my gratitude when I get back." Xiao Muyang said to the middle-aged man. He owed the Situ family too much and he must not drag them into trouble this time.
"Farewell." The middle-aged man said with cupped hands, and then walked out of the hall.
Ren Xiao looked at Xiao Muyang and asked: "In your opinion, can they find out the Haotian Palace?"
Xiao Muyang looked thoughtful and said: "I haven't had much contact with you. I only came into contact with you once in that inn, but except for the people around me, the rest of you don't know your identity."
Ren Xiao nodded and felt a little relieved. He thought that the Taiyin Palace could not be smart enough to guess their true identities based on just that one incident.
"But after that, I took away the treasures in Five Elements Mountain and killed many people from the four major forces in Qingyun City. I wonder if Taiyin Palace will associate this incident with my relationship with Haotian Palace." Xiao Muyang frowned.
Ren Xiao's expression suddenly froze there. Is there such a thing?
Five Elements Mountain is a place of cultivation arranged by Haotian Palace. Xiao Muyang took away the treasures inside, which can easily lead to some associations.
"Whether they can think of it or not, they must make preparations in advance." Ren Xiao said solemnly, they must not take risks on this matter.
Xiao Muyang thought for a moment and said to Ren Xiao: "I'm afraid I can't stay in the villa any longer. It's better to evacuate here as soon as possible to reduce the risk."
"I think so too." Ren Xiao nodded: "It's just that there are so many people in the villa, if they leave, not to mention it will cause a lot of noise, and where should they go?"
"I don't know if they have anyone setting up spies. If we are followed by their spies, the situation may get worse." Ren Xiao said again.
There are many powerful formations arranged in the villa. Even if the enemy attacks, they can hold on for a while. But once they leave the villa, they will have no way out. They will either fight to the death or flee separately. It will be very troublesome to get together again.
.
"It's really tricky."
Xiao Muyang frowned. He didn't think too much when he took the treasure away. If he had known that it would cause the current trouble, he wouldn't have done that at that time.
It's a pity that it's too late to regret.
"If we really get to that point, we can only use that method." Xiao Muyang said in a deep voice, an extremely fierce look flashed across his face.
"Muyang, what do you mean..." Ren Xiao looked at Xiao Muyang blankly.
"Previously, the owner of Tianyi gave me a book of Ten Thousand Formations, which recorded a great killing formation called the Nine Yuan Tiangang Formation. It requires nine Tiangang figures to join forces to set up the formation. If the nine people cooperate well enough, it can
Fight against the celestial figures!" Xiao Muyang slowly spoke.
"There is such a powerful formation!" Ren Xiao's eyes suddenly flashed with wonder, and his heart was filled with ups and downs.
You must know that the gap between Tiangang and Tianxiang is like the difference between clouds and mud, which is insurmountable. Otherwise, Tianxiang characters would not be so scarce. If there is a formation that can allow Tiangang to compete with Tianxiang, then the current crisis can be solved.
"It is not difficult to find the nine Tiangang characters, but it is not easy to perfectly exert the power of the Nine Yuan Tiangang Formation. It requires many times of practice and running-in. I don't know how long this process will take."
Xiao Muyang said with a very solemn expression, but now they have no other choice but to fight against the odds!
