While Xin Tianqi was instructing Cheng Wanli to act, Tang Qing, acting director of the Star Patrol Department, walked in from outside.
Although Su Wen defected to the Prefecture Lord's Mansion, Tang Qing did not completely join forces with him and still stayed in the Meteor Guard to work conscientiously.
"Star Master, General Xue and the Second Young Master are here."
Tang Qingdao.
"them?"
Upon hearing this, Xin Tianqi thought for a moment and said to Cheng Wanli: "You meet them for me and see what they want to say."
"good."
Cheng Wanli nodded and followed Tang Qing out of Xin Tianqi's study and into the outer hall.
In the outer hall, Qi Fenglei and Xue Yue were waiting.
When he saw that the person they wanted to meet was not Xin Tianqi but Cheng Wanli, Xue Yue had already anticipated something and his heart sank, but he still said: "Minister Cheng, I don't know Lord Xin..."
"In order to cope with the increasingly severe situation, the Star Master has already gone into seclusion three days ago to practice the art of sword control so that the sword speed can make breakthroughs. If General Xue and the Second Young Master have something to do, you may wish to talk to me first. Wait for the Star Master
I will report to the Star Lord when I leave seclusion."
Cheng Wanli said.
"I came here this time for a good thing."
Although he did not see Xin Tianqi, Xue Yue knew him well, and he must be paying attention to the situation here at the moment. He said bluntly: "After thinking about it for a period of time, I feel that the second young master was forced to take over as the head of Xingzhou Prefecture.
This is indeed a bit reckless."
"Um!?"
Cheng Wanli looked surprised.
"When the state leader was still there, he had been training the eldest son as the future state leader. However, the eldest son was dealing with trivial matters in Xingzhou and had not yet developed his spiritual mind. In addition, the situation at that time was severe, and there was an urgent need for a capable person.
Only a powerful state leader can convince the public, so I had a conflict with Star Lord Xin, but now after the Second Young Master’s hard persuasion, I have realized the problem.”
Xue Yue said in a deep voice: "The power of our state government cannot continue to be divided like this."
Qi Fenglei also nodded: "I realize that my ability is limited and I cannot manage the affairs of Xingzhou. I am willing to welcome my eldest brother as the lord of Xingzhou. I am also willing to become his right arm and help him deal with Xingzhou.
State size matters.”
Cheng Wanli looked at the two of them. They made such a big concession, and he didn't know how to respond for a while.
Xue Yue, on the other hand, continued: "Over the years, the state leader has not treated me or Xin Xing Lord badly. Now that the Qi people are leaving, the two brothers Qi Fenglei intend to turn their hostility into friendship. What else is Xin Xing Lord dissatisfied with? He has to make Xingzhou a good life.
The land is given to outsiders? Less than a year after the death of the state leader, Xingzhou was handed over to others because of us. How can we face the state leader in the future? "
His words were not so much addressed to Cheng Wanli as to Xin Tianqi.
only……
Xin Tianqi did not respond.
When Xue Yue saw this, even though he had expected it, his expression was still a little gloomy.
He communicated speciously with Cheng Wanli again, but seeing that Xin Tianqi still refused to show up, he finally had to leave with Qi Fenglei.
After the two left for a while, Cheng Wanli turned around and returned to Xin Tianqi's study.
"Star Lord..."
Cheng Wanli considered his words: "Since General Xue is willing to change his mind..."
"Does it make sense?"
Xin Tianqi interrupted him directly: "The unification of Xingzhou from ancient times to the present is unstoppable. Even if Xue Yue changes his mind, is it still too late? Who will resist his edge? You or Xue Yue?"
Cheng Wanli glanced at his star master, feeling a little embarrassed.
"Given the situation in Xingzhou, can we still assemble a lineup with two True Monarchs of Yuanshen and seven great cultivators of the God Transformation like Longque Villa?"
Xin Tian gave up.
Cheng Wanli knew the result without even thinking.
In Xingzhou now, there are only four Avatars left in the state's main palace, including Xue Yue, the ancestor of the three major families.
Even if you include Cheng Wanli, there are only five god-transforming monks.
As for True Lord Yuanshen...
There is only one Xin Star Master.
Although Lord Xin had a brilliant record of defeating Supreme Elder Huang Tiandao head-on back then, he was not strong enough to fight two true kings, Ye Wuxia and Wang Yinfeng of Longque Villa, one against two.
Not to mention killing these two True Lords of Yuanshen.
The number of transformed gods is not comparable to the lineup of Longque Villa, and the True Monarch of Yuanshen is also inferior to Longque Villa.
Even if there are many masters of refining gods, holding pills, and condensing gangs, they may not be able to take advantage of Lingxiao City's murderous weapons.
In this case, Xingzhou wants to fight against Lingxiao City's edge?
Why?
"The situation in Xingzhou has reached this point, and there is no way out."
Xin Tianqi said: "No matter how extravagant things Xue Yue and the others say, they are just unwilling to give up the rights in their hands."
"I understand. I will proceed as planned to control public opinion and prevent the state government from inciting public opinion and causing too much damage."
Cheng Wanli said.
In fact, Lingxiao City has always done very well in terms of public opinion.
Relying on word of mouth from many merchants who have dealings with Lingxiao City, Lingxiao City is not a monster in the minds of everyone.
Although Xue Yue ordered to smear the image of Lingxiao City not long ago when he planned to cooperate with Longque Villa to deal with Lingxiao City, the time was too short, and the Lingxiao City army led by ancient and modern people had already arrived.
Shaked his head.
Xin Tianqi ignored it.
There are still many things he has to arrange next.
Many forces in Starlight City are asking him about Lingxiao City's true attitude.
…
"An ungrateful white-eyed wolf, has he forgotten that his achievements today are all due to the strong support of the state leader? But now, he wants to hand over the Xingzhou that belongs to the state leader to others!?"
In the carriage returning to the State Lord's Mansion, Xue Yue had uncontrollable anger in his eyes.
"Uncle, what should we do now?"
Qi Fenglei said worriedly.
His biological mother is Xue Yue's sister.
Xue Yue said nothing.
He has studied the surroundings of Lingxiao City in detail.
The forces bordering them are the Star Sky Alliance, the Purgatory Sect, the Lengyue Sect, and the Longque Villa, which is barely connected through the Yunqi Mountains.
Among these forces, the Purgatory Sect and the Star Sky Alliance have obviously aligned themselves with Gujinlai, leaving only the Leng Yue Sect...
It was also because the demons in Muzhou gradually began to gather and there was no time to be distracted.
As for Longque Villa...
Even though he has a solid background, it is definitely a loss to lose two True Lords of Yuanshen and four great cultivators of the Transformation of God all at once.
Next, what they should consider is not how to take revenge on the past and present, but...
How to withstand the vengeance of ancient and modern times.
For a moment, Xue Yue's eyes flashed with fatigue.
He never expected that the person who ultimately posed a fatal threat to Xingzhou would not be any of the top sects, but a mere guardian of Lingxiao Town.
If I had known this...
When he came to Starlight City for the first time throughout the ages, he had to be killed as quickly as possible.
Xue Yue rubbed his eyebrows: "Gather the principals of the major families to discuss what to do next. The system of Lingxiao City emphasizes the supremacy of law and everyone is equal. I think these major families never want to live in such an environment in the future.
.”
With this idea in mind, they returned to the governor's palace.
But as soon as he arrived at the governor's palace, his bodyguard immediately brought bad news.
Due to the holding of the Ten Demonic Sects Divine Sword Conference, the demons entrenched in the Tianhe retreated to Crocodile Dragon Ze, and the north-south passage of the Tianhe River has been opened. The three major families are already packing their things and planning to go north to the Imperial Capital for refuge.
The three major families plan to run away.
Starlight City must defend...
It's just him, Xue Yue.
…
Outside Star Curtain City.
I have been waiting quietly throughout the ages.
In front of him, smoke and dust billowed.
A blur of human figures could be seen in an endless stream, with no end in sight.
The 10,000 vanguard army led by Gu Chaoyang has arrived outside Star Curtain City.
Beside him were more than a hundred elites led by Zhan Hongying, the former deputy leader of the Star Alliance.
Although the Star Sky Alliance suffered heavy losses in the beheading operation at the Prefectural Government, and most of the Bao Dan and Ning Gang dispersed to surrounding counties in order to save their lives, in just one day, they still gathered together more than 130 people, intending to help ancient and modern people
Attack Longque Villa, the city occupied by the State Lord's Mansion.
And among the more than 130 people with the weakest cultivation, they all have the cultivation of condensing Gang Qi.
Putting this kind of cultivation on an ordinary battlefield, one person already has the ability to break the formation.
As long as they don't encounter elites from hundreds of battles, no matter how dangerous the environment is, they can at least rely on the explosion of Gang Qi to fight out and escape with their lives.
"Boom!"
As the vanguard of Lingxiao City approached, a group of people came on horseback.
The first few mounts were majestic and extraordinary, and the person sitting on them was not a member of the Gu family, but Lu Zhanfeng, the elder of the Purgatory Sect who had met Gu Jinlai not long ago.
"Ancestor."
"Gu Tianjun, we meet again."
As the group approached, Gu Chaoyang and other Gu family members, as well as the Purgatory Sect group, all raised their hands to say hello.
After Gu Jinlai nodded to Gu Chaoyang and others, his eyes fell on Lu Zhanfeng: "Why is Elder Lu here?"
At the same time, he also glanced at the two people behind him.
The other two elders of the Purgatory Sect.
The stone sinks and the sand is endless.
"Not long ago, Taishang Liu personally inquired about the affairs of Lin Fengcheng and Baihe City. He thought that the elders Shi Shen and Sha Wuyue were acting unfairly. After hearing that Gu Tianjun planned to attack the State Lord's Mansion and Longque Villa, he ordered them to do it before Gu Tianjun
My subordinates listen and use their merits to atone for their sins."
Lu Zhanfeng smiled and said: "If there is any hard nut to crack, Gu Tianjun just let the two of them take action."
Shi Chen and Sha Wuwen also stepped forward and handed over their hands: "Gu Tianjun, the two of us had many offenses back then, please Tianjun give us a chance to make up for our mistakes."
Watching the two of them through the ages.
In fact, although he had fought against these two people before, he only learned their identities after the fact. This was the first time he actually met them.
"As the elders of the Purgatory Sect, I can't give you any orders."
Peaceful way through the ages.
"Hahaha, yes, of course it can. Elder Gu didn't know something. Although our Purgatory Sect and Longque Villa are not bordering each other, they are both located to the south of Tianhe. Over the years, we have accumulated many grievances. I don't know how many people, including Huashen.
The fate of the courtyard fell into the hands of the True Lord Yuanshen of Longque Villa. Elder Gu killed Wang Yinfeng and Ye Wuxia. This was a great achievement. Liu Taishang had already discussed with Taishang Zhang and Lu Taishang to invite Gu Tianjun to be our Purgatory Sect.
The fourth Supreme Elder."
Lu Zhanfeng laughed and said, "Isn't it reasonable for Tianjun to appoint the Supreme Elder of our Purgatory Sect and ask the two of them to obey orders?"
