"Yun Xi, I thought you..., it's great that you're okay!"
Yun Yue and Yun Xi had a close friendship before they agreed to accept funding from the Shepherd. When Yun Xi suddenly disappeared from the list of members of the Xianwu Clan, Yun Yue thought Yun Xi had been killed, and she was sad for a long time.
So today Yunyue accidentally saw Yun Xi's name in the list of lords of the Linxia clan and thought she was dazzled. After confirming that it was correct, she was pleasantly surprised and immediately came to visit Yun Xi.
"Yun Yue, long time no see."
"Yun Xi, it's really you. That's great. You are finally back. In the future, you and I, together with our sisters, will definitely be able to rise up the Immortal Martial Branch!"
"No, it is enough for the Xianwu Branch to have you as your leader."
"Why, Yun Xi, why do you refuse? Do you feel aggrieved? I can help you. From now on, you will be the mistress of the Xianwu branch."
"No, it has nothing to do with this. I am Yun Xi but I am not the same Yun Xi as before. The Xianwu bloodline has nothing to do with me anymore."
"Why?"
"For whatever reason, the Yun Xi you knew is gone."
"Did she..."
"Yes, Yun Xi was killed in the territorial rebellion that year. I am Yun Xi who was resurrected by Mr. Shepherd out of pity for Yun Xi. You can call me the Patriarch of Despair."
"Sorry, I,..., I, disturbed you!" The surprise turned into bad news, and Yun Yue was very disappointed.
"Although I am not that Yun Xi, I carry her memory for a new life. You can still regard me as a sister if you want!"
"Really, then you..."
"Yun Yue, as I said before, it is enough for the Xianwu branch to have your leadership. I have my own pursuits."
"Okay, I respect your decision."
"You don't look like the Yunyue I know now. If anything is bothering you, you can tell me and I will help you think of some countermeasures."
"Yun Xi, it is gratifying to be the leader of a line of the Linxia clan, but it is also stressful. Can you understand what it feels like to watch other branches develop rapidly while the branch you lead slowly advances?"
"Yun Yue, the background of each branch of the Xincui Alliance is too deep. You, a latecomer, don't need to compare with these branches. Just be yourself."
"I also want to live a more relaxed life and not compare myself with those powerful branches, but seeing that the Tianling branch that joined the Linxia clan at the same time as me pushed the Xianwu branch further and further away, the Xianwu branch became the weakest.
Can I not be in a hurry?"
The Tianling branch has two first-generation lords, Lingsheng and Lingying, and three islands and continents. Its own background is higher than that of the Xianwu branch. After Lingying became enlightened, the gap became more obvious. One person can never be better than two people.
Yes, this is why Yun Yue is eager to draw Yun Xi into the Xianwu branch.
"Yun Yue, you can't rush this kind of thing!"
"How can I not be in a hurry? The Year of Ascension is coming in less than thirty years. With the number of lords of the Xianwu Branch now, when will they be strong enough to establish a foothold in the Central Area!"
"The branches of the Xincui Alliance want to go to the Central Area because the outer ring limits their development. Yunyue, why are you rushing to the Central Area to join in the fun?"
"me…"
"Don't follow blindly, don't compare, just be yourself."
"But if I stay in the outer ring area, I will encounter development bottlenecks. Yun Xi, you also know that I own an island and a continent."
"Then go and expand!"
"But Wang Yi told me not to be too public about my development in the outer ring."
As long as Yunyue does not expand externally, her island continent can be regarded as a member of the Xincui Alliance and an extension of the power of the Central Ring. No matter what problems arise, the Xincui Alliance sending troops to support does not violate the rules of the Outer Ring.
But once she starts to expand, her island continent will be a member of the outer ring by default. At this time, the Xincui Alliance, as a force in the middle ring, will not be able to directly assist it. The Xincui Alliance offended a lot when it dominated the 12th District.
There are few forces. Once Yunyue's development in the outer ring becomes too public and someone digs out this connection, I'm afraid it will lead to crazy revenge from these forces.
"Wang Yi asked you not to be overly public, but it doesn't mean that you are not allowed to expand. You can secretly create some troubles to cause the surrounding island continents to decline, and then show certain strength to capture one or two island continents in the chaos. The outer ring occupies two or three islands.
There are many forces in Lu, and as long as you don't show terrifying strength, no one will dig into your details."
"Yes!"
"If these two or three island continents are not enough for your development, you can organize a group of strong men to secretly invade and control a few island continents, so that you will have more than five islands and continents secretly. If you are still not satisfied, you can
Secretly organize a group of people to go to other areas to occupy one or two island continents. As long as your hands and feet are clean enough, you can occupy seven or eight island continents without publicity, and these island continents are enough to support the development of the Xianwu branch to the point where it can be established in Central
To gain a firm foothold.”
"Yun Xi, you are indeed smarter!"
"It's not that I'm smart, it's that you, Yun Yue, are a fan of the authorities."
"Yun Xi, you are also planning to expand like this, so why don't you want to join me?"
"No, the restrictions in the outer ring area are too many after all. I plan to go to the central ring to develop."
"Ah, wouldn't it be better to have the Xianwu branch to do the logistics for you?"
"Yun Yue, you and I both have our own ways to go, so don't always dwell on the past."
…
"Wang Yi, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, I just feel a little uncomfortable. When I said goodbye, I knew that this day would come sooner or later, but I didn't expect it to come so quickly!" Wang Yi drank the bitter wine in his glass and jumped off the eaves.
This time the Linxia clan sent the largest number of clan members to participate in the Sand Sea Trial. Although Wang Yi had taken precautions as much as possible, more people meant more accidents, and some accidents were fatal.
No, less than a month after this trial started, a dragonborn died. Although it was not a white-haired person sending a black-haired person, the unexpected loss of a child still makes people sad.
"Wang Yi..."
"Xiao Mo, there is no need to comfort me. I have already prepared myself mentally. Children and grandchildren have their own destiny. As an elder, I will not hinder them from walking their own path. I will prepare a glass of wine in case they get stuck on the road.
I express my condolences and send them on their last journey."
"You're drunk, go back and rest." Su Xiaomo helped the drunk Wang Yi back to the house.
In fact, with Wang Yi's current physique, no matter how much ordinary liquor he drinks, he will not get drunk. The fact that he is drunk can only mean that he wants to get drunk and does not want to be immersed in sorrow all the time.
Wang Yi did not remain immersed in the grief of losing his son, but he did not choose to escape either. He continued to pay attention to the sand sea trials of the dragonborn. He did not turn his attention until all the dragonborn became lords. During this period, one after another
More than ten dragonborn were killed in succession.
Wang Yi no longer pays attention to the trials of the dragonborn because as long as they become lords, the dragonborn's unyielding bloodline mark can be fully activated. With the bloodline ability of death reforging, it is difficult for the dragonborn to be completely killed.
