The afterglow of the setting sun dragged the shadows of everyone into a long tail.
When Qin Fan returned to the Yuan family, just after Shenshi, he arranged the original sacrificial ceremony directly to the next day.
Yuan Shixiao wanted to say something, but after Yuan Shisanxian pulled his sleeve, he could only nod in agreement.
And he also shouldered the task of being the master of this place perfectly, arranging all the accommodation for everyone.
Of course, he knew very well that today would probably be a sleepless night.
When the bright crescent moon rose, the people who had gathered were completely dispersed in the empty Yuan family land.
At the same time, members from all parties gathered together in a tacit understanding and began to discuss things that may happen or have happened about today and tomorrow.
In Gong Ziyu's room.
Xiao Tingzheng stroked the Changqin he carried along the way with one hand, and there was a hint of complicated emotions in his originally dim eyes.
Gong Ziyu, who was sitting opposite him, casually took off his bronze mask, revealing a face full of wrinkles, with white beard and hair, like an old man who had gone through many hardships.
But his eyes are still young, full of infinite wisdom and vitality.
"You also received...a gift?"
Xiao Ting nodded, and then pulled out a cold light sword from the long harp. He is a master of both harp and sword, and his sword skills are even better than his harp skills that are often displayed. Naturally, this cannot be hidden from his own son.
feather.
And when Li Chungang absorbed the sword intent just now, he didn't show anything strange at all.
"The Green Snake with Two Sleeves is a very powerful sword skill, but I don't know how to practice it."
"Why?" Gong Ziyu said, playing with the bronze mask in his hand, "The two-sleeved green dragon transformed by the sword skill is a move that is enough to cause extreme damage to the strong ones in the Dharma Realm. Although our inheritance is not weak, one more move can put pressure on us.
The bottom-of-the-box approach is always good.”
Xiao Ting shook his head slightly and said solemnly.
"I only saw the ambition of the old sword god from that sword, and the arrogance that he would forcefully borrow the sword's power next time, so this is temporarily regarded as a comforting gift, and I will not accept it, otherwise I will never accept it in the rest of my life.
We need to look up to those three words of Li Chungang."
"Is that so..." Gong Ziyu is not a swordsman, let alone a pure warrior. He is similar to Qin Fan, but he only regards force as a necessary means to control power, so
He couldn't understand Xiao Ting's determination in saying this.
And similarly, he will not continue to talk about areas that he may never understand.
"Why do you think he delayed it for another day? You must know that with the determination shown by the Yuan family, even if the sacrificial ceremony is held overnight, I believe no one will stand up to object. And for us, the so-called daytime
It's not much different from the dark night.
At this point, no one can really get a good night's rest."
"I don't know, but I know our identities. As a theatergoer, when necessary, you only need to stand on the stage that has been set up, take the initiative to say a few words, and then step back in time. Don't do anything redundant.
Don’t make unnecessary arrangements for things you need to do.”
"But I always feel that tonight will be a good time to cause trouble." Gong Ziyu smiled inexplicably, but did not make any move.
"He probably thinks so too."
Xiao Ting left these words silently, then put the drawn long sword back into the long harp, then carried it behind his back and walked decisively out of the door.
"you......"
"It may be a sleepless night for others, but from beginning to end, this matter has little to do with us. Let's live a peaceful night."
With a creak, the door opened, and Xiao Ting's figure disappeared from Gong Ziyu's eyes.

In Luo Yeyuan's room.
Luo Yeyuan was holding the sound transmission token, and he didn't know who he was communicating with. He sometimes put down the token, and sometimes picked it up, and kept repeating two words in his mouth, interesting, interesting.
"Where's the fun?" Lu Zhu suddenly asked.
Luo Yeyuan glanced at him unexpectedly. When the other party chose to follow him before, his attitude was a little cold, and could even be said to be arrogant.
He doesn't care about any of his arrangements, and he doesn't have the time to get involved in the intrigues of the indigenous people in a small world. He will only show some reaction when he needs to take action at the necessary moment.
But now, with his inquiry, it seemed that he wanted to take the initiative to join in this indigenous brawl that he looked down on before.
Luo Yeyuan didn't know the key to the other party's change in attitude, but he was happy that this change had occurred, and then he spoke.
"Because of Li Chungang's sword, everyone turned their attention from the west to us.
As for what will happen next, it cannot be hidden. Now the list of those of us invited to the Yuan family should have appeared in the hands of the masters of the major forces.
What I think is interesting is what kind of wrong associations such a group of people will bring to others when they come together.”
"Lenovo?" Lu Zhu was a little confused.
"Yes, in a sense, we are provoking the Daxuan Dynasty together. There are four heads of aristocratic families with the right to speak, including the Ghost Lord who still wears the title of Zhennan King.
But what I am about to do is to give the master who has ruled this land for nearly two thousand years a sudden slap in the face after the attack from the outside."
"I don't understand."
It stands to reason that as an explorer, Lu Zhu should have seen many similar things, but in the world of mountains and seas, because of the involvement of various top extraterrestrial forces, seemingly simple actions will gradually become complicated.
"To put it simply, this night of waiting can be regarded as a test of the attitude of the Daxuan Dynasty. No, it should be said that it is an intelligence collection on the current Daxuan rulers."
"Da Xuan...the ruler?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Yes, with the arrival of the people from outside the world, there is a question mark as to whether Emperor Xuan is still in charge of Daxuan. The Yu family he represents is in the west.
What status does Xuantianting have? Does a royal family that has been devolved into a small world still have privileges?
How much the envoys sent by Xixuan Heavenly Court value the merit chain, whether they will show strong tactics to force Emperor Xuan to make some choices, etc., will all be caused by this extra possibility.
One night, it was exposed in advance.”
Lu Zhu was stunned.
It was like he was meeting Luo Yeyuan for the first time.
It seems to have refreshed my understanding of the man who dared to make such a bold attempt.
That is Xixuan Heavenly Court!
Maybe others don't know how important his status is, but Luo Yeyuan, who already has some knowledge of Tianwai, must understand. Likewise, through the existence of shopkeeper Xia San and Qi Sheng, that man must also know the meaning of these four words.
However, one of them mentioned this matter with great interest and without any awe, while the other dug a pit that he could not avoid early on, and silently stood by the pit, waiting for the person who was about to come to dive in headfirst.
Or just jump over there.
"You... no, the people in this Shanhai Realm are all crazy!"
Lu Zhu then thought of Li Chungang, who was able to command the swordsmanship of an entire realm in the Dharma Realm, and Feng Mo, who showed top-notch demonic qualities in the Celestial Realm. And the corpse coffin that made him shiver just thinking about it!
He wants to escape, completely escape this dangerous world!
But in order to survive, he must participate in this increasingly dangerous power game.
Then he took a deep breath and said:
"So what do we do?"
"Now that we have taken the first step to stand in line, let's continue to wait and see what happens."
"Stand in line..."
"To participate in the Yuan family's matter of cutting off the chains of merit, from a certain point of view, we are accomplices. Those who are truly on the side of Daxuan will not do such a thing. Of course, we can
Take responsibility for the choices you make.
But what’s interesting is that a certain strong man who obviously couldn’t help himself took the initiative to get involved.”
"A strong man who can't help himself?"
"I'm talking about Senior Li who showed off his great power." Luo Yeyuan chuckled, then picked up the cold teacup on the side, took a slow sip, and then turned his attention to what Yuan Shixiao had arranged for Quanzhao Li.
The direction of the small courtyard.
------------------
In Li Chungang's room.
Li Chungang, who was originally showing his style as a swordsman, was sitting on a chair with his legs crossed. One of his fingers kept pressing his nostrils, and he was listening to his descendant, Li Canghai, telling his descendant, Li Buyi, about his battle.
the whole process.
However, Li Buyi did not show his admiration for the wise and martial side of his senior. Instead, he held the wrinkled invitation tightly with his fingers, and his brows could pinch a fly.
Although with Li Canghai's temperament, he could read even a refreshing novel as well as boiled water, Li Buyi's unfavorable reaction also made Li Chungang a little disappointed.
Then he flicked the boogers onto Li Buyi's head with one hand. Li Buyi's body swayed and he looked at Li Chungang a little innocent, aggrieved, and helpless.
"Ancestor, should we go?"
"Let's go? The invitations have been sent out, and you want us to leave now? What will that Guizun guy think of me, Quanzhao Li!" Li Chungang slammed the table and looked at Li Buyi dissatisfied.
Li Buyi waved the invitation in his hand with a wry smile and said seriously:
"Ancestor, don't you understand that our participation in this sacrificial ceremony will make it difficult for the Quanzhao Li family and even the entire Dao domain."
"If it's difficult to do, then don't do it. If you are dissatisfied, I will just give him a sword and finish the job." Li Chungang's indifferent attitude made Li Buyi worried and started counting on his fingers again.
But this time, Li Canghai, who had quick eyes and quick hands, stopped him in time and said:
"This month's calculations have been excessive. The fortune tellers themselves are counting others but not themselves. If you continue like this, you will suffer unaffordable backlash!"
"I...this time the matter is not just about me anymore!" Li Buyi had a headache. He appeared here because of the Quanzhao Li family, but also because of the series of impacts caused by his uninvited guest.
, now it is very likely to drag the entire Li family into a bottomless abyss.
Whether he is completely sinking into darkness or breaking through the shackles and ushering in the light, he has no idea.
"Ancestor, can you tell me your plan?"
"Plan? No plan. Beat those who are not convinced until they are convinced. Use your sword if you don't understand. I find that the young people of your generation, although they may be affected by the destiny body, are really more evil than the others.
That Ghost Lord boy deliberately delayed this day. I don't know if he was testing someone or a certain force, or he wanted to fish.
The leaders who came to the Yuan family this time were also competing with each other with gloomy thoughts.
If you really think about it, it's true that the silly girl from the Hua family has an innocent face, but unfortunately the old yin woman who came with her has probably figured out a lot of the key points.
Hey, can this world put aside these miscellaneous calculations and truly let the strength of warriors speak for themselves?"
Li Buyi's face darkened, and he realized that he shouldn't talk about these things with his ancestor.
After Li Chungang left these words, he stood up and walked towards the door.
"Ancestor?"
"I still need to report to you where I want to go. Just stay here. You, a little kid, don't need to interfere with the following matters."
"I...ah! It hurts!"
Li Chungang's figure was almost at the door, but he turned around and gave Li Buyi a violent blow. While the other person knelt down and covered his head, he walked out of the door.
When Li Buyi raised his head, he could no longer see the figure of the other party. Seeing this, he quickly looked at Li Canghai and said:
"Sister-in-law, why didn't you stop me?"
"What are you trying to stop? He's beating you, or he's going out." Li Canghai picked up the tea cup on the side and took a sip, and then continued, "This is the ancestor's way of protecting us, and what happens next is indeed not the case.
We can get involved."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Protect..." Li Buyi looked in a daze, and his brain was still buzzing.
Various fragments of information began to converge, and a complete pattern was gradually pieced together.
"The ancestor wants to take this opportunity to get the method to cut off the chain of merit of my Quanzhao Li family, and then stand up on his own to resist those from Dao Domain, Daxuan... no, from Jiutian
Dao Palace, pressure from Xixuan Heavenly Court?
No, no, our situation is different from that of the Yuan family. Everything cannot go so smoothly, and the process of holding the sacrificial ceremony may be interrupted at any time. If we insist on going our own way, we may not gain anything.
That’s not right, ancestor, do you want to test the attitude and thoughts of Dao Shrine first?”
Li Buyi felt that his mind was in a state of confusion. Just when he was in a daze, Li Chungang had already arrived outside Qin Fan's room.
Boom, boom, boom.
As the knock on the door rang, Li Chungang, who had been extremely rude just now, once again showed his grace and magnanimity as a sword god.
When the door opened, Qin Fan, alone, had been waiting in the hall for a long time.
He was not surprised by Li Chungang's arrival.
He even prepared a set of words to deal with him early on.
But as Li Chungang asked the most direct question, he smiled bitterly and suppressed some thoughts temporarily.
"Li Jian Shen..."
"Stop, stop, stop, you kid, just say whether it's okay or not. Don't get involved in other matters. A few years ago, I suffered a big loss from a young man just because I listened to a few more words. So I
There’s no way you’ll fall down on the same move twice!”
"young people?"
"Well, God is jealous of talented people." Li Chungang sighed with emotion.
Qin Fan, who was wearing the mask of the Ghost Master, rolled his eyes silently. He already knew that that person was probably his good junior brother.
Then he nodded seriously and said, "Okay, I agree."
The moment the words fell, Li Chungang's figure had disappeared without a trace. He came in a hurry and left in a hurry, and he only said half a sentence of unnecessary words.
