The Northern Territory Chapter 67 The Three-Year Covenant
Lu Yuan didn't bother Shen Du any more and let others help him aside to rest.
When everyone was retreating from Lu Yuan, a man strode forward and stood in front of Lu Yuan. This man was luxuriously dressed in purple clothes, showing his nobility. It was Li Jiangnan.
Li Jiangnan raised his hand and saluted Lu Yuan. The etiquette was very thorough and meticulous, "Li Jiangnan of the Li family has met the Holy Son."
Lu Yuan looked down and frowned slightly, obviously not recognizing this person.
Bai Qiuer on the side said softly: "He is the current young master of the Li family. The young master of the Li family who once met His Highness has been killed. It was Li Jiangnan who did it."
Bai Qiu'er came out this time, but she had done all her homework, hoping that it would be effective at this time. Now it seems that the five days of homework were not in vain.
Lu Yuan nodded and said, "No need to be polite, what's the matter with Young Master Li?"
Lu Yuan's sense of this Li Jiangnan was not very good. He remembered that the previous young master of the Li family was not a good person, but Li Jiangnan was able to kill him without being punished by his Li family, and even inherited the young master. As a master, this person's methods are evident.
Li Jiangnan stood up, straightened his back, and said with a smile: "It's nothing special, but I haven't seen the Holy Son yet. This time I have the opportunity, so I came to see him!"
After saying that, Li Jiangnan raised his hand to greet Bai Qiuer and Qin Yihan, and they both returned the greeting.
After the greeting, Li Jiangnan left. Lu Yuan thought this person was a bit strange, but didn't think much about it.
Qin Yihan, who was on the side, cast his eyes on Li Jiangnan who was walking away, counting his breaths. Just now, Li Jiangnan had a special pattern embroidered on his sleeves.
That pattern was used by her to contact the Anbu of the Wushuang Dynasty, and it had not been used for several years.
Moreover...there is no such person as Li Jiangnan in the Anbu. How did this person learn about this pattern?!
Could it be that something happened to the ANBU?
Qin Yihan withdrew her gaze and poured tea for herself. As she drank a cup of herbal tea, Qin Yihan also thought about it. She wanted to meet Li Jiangnan for a while!
After leaving, Li Jiangnan went straight back to the courtyard. Li Shi had been waiting inside, pacing back and forth anxiously.
Seeing Li Jiangnan coming back, Li Shi stepped forward quickly and asked, "What's wrong? Have you seen Lu Yuan?"
"seen."
Li Jiangnan tore off the pattern embroidered on his cuffs and placed it in Li Shi's hands.
Li Shi looked at the pattern from left to right, and then said: "Why did you embroider this on your clothes? Isn't this a pattern that I found under the eldest brother's house? Have you thought about what this thing is?"
Li Jiangnan shook his head, "I'm just betting on whether Qin Yihan can understand the meaning of this pattern."
"Previously I thought Qin Yihan just had a little friendship with my eldest brother, but a few days ago I asked about Qin Yihan's living habits and found that she has some similarities with my eldest brother."
"The two of them should be more than just friends. As long as Qin Yihan comes here to look for me in the near future, then my bet is right. Then we may be able to make an ally, an ally who can always be by Lu Yuan's side! "
Li Jiangnan picked up the pattern in Li Shi's hand, and then his strength shook, and the rag was instantly shattered.
"Now, all we have to do is wait."
...
In the main hall of the Shen family, Shen Du finally adjusted his breathing. Today is his birthday banquet, but something unexpected happened.
Due to such an incident, he was completely disgraced.
The main hall had been destroyed, and he was about to go out and reset everyone's seats. At this moment, a voice came from the sky, and it instantly resounded throughout Shenjialuan City.
"Shen Shuyan, the three-year appointment has come! I, Xiao Tiante, am here to keep the appointment and fight with you!"
Everyone's eyes were attracted by the sound. When they looked up, they saw a giant roc flying past in the sky. Its broad wings actually covered half of the square.
From the giant roc, a figure jumped down.
"boom!--"
The figure suddenly landed in the center of the square, and all the jade stones laid on the square were cracked, and smoke and dust were stirred up.
Everyone's eyes were focused on him, and Shen Du was also staring closely at that person.
The smoke dispersed, and a man with a giant sword appeared in front of everyone. The man was dressed in black and had piercing eyes.
The man was looking down at Shen Du, who was standing high in the hall, with bursts of fighting intent in his eyes.
"Uncle Shen, I, Xiao Tian, have come as promised!"
Lu Yuan's eyes immediately moved over. When he saw Xiao Tian, he smiled softly. As expected, the children of destiny all appeared in their most pretentious manner. There was a good show today!
Shen Du felt anger welling up in his heart. Do they really think that the Shen family is easy to bully?! Or do they think it feels good to slap Shen Du in the face?!
First, Lu Yuan robbed him of two weapons. He didn't want to offend the Lu family in public, so he endured it!
But who is this Xiao Tian?! How dare he come here to show off his power?!
"court death!"
With a thought from Shen Du, all the unrelated people in the square were swept aside, and then he waved out his palm.
The originally daytime sky was suddenly rolled up by dark clouds, and the whole world became dark. A strong wind swept across it, as if the end was coming. From the sky, a huge palm suddenly appeared and slapped Xiao Tian.
The giant palm arrived in an instant and struck Xiao Tian directly.
Xiao Tian did not expect that Shen Du would take action against him as soon as he arrived. He immediately held the giant sword in his hand, and the aura belonging to the dragon clan rose up instantly, wrapping the entire giant sword in an instant.
He immediately raised his sword and slashed away with one strike, but the palm in the sky was struck by a saint. Xiao Tian was only in the imperial realm now, how could he withstand this palm?!
The giant palm fell, and just the wind from the palm made Xiao Tian's hand holding the giant sword start to tremble.
"boom!--"
With one palm strike, the whole earth shook, thousands of feet of dust stirred up, and all the jade stones on the square turned into powder.
Qin Yihan frowned and looked, "Shen Du is so angry that he killed that person with just one palm."
Lu Yuan shook his head and smiled, "Don't worry, he has many back-ups. Shen Du wants to kill him. It's completely out of the blue! If the old immortal from the Shen family comes out, there may be a chance."
Just when Shen Du thought that the ignorant Xiao Tian had been killed by his palm, he saw a sword light flashing up from the smoke and dust in the square. The sword's intention was vertical and horizontal, reaching straight to the heaven and the earth. Thousands of smoke and dust were here. They were all comforted by the sword energy.
Everyone looked away and saw that in the square at this time, apart from Xiao Tian, there was a huge sword hilt lying across the void. A man with no trimming and dirty clothes was standing on the hilt of the sword. If you look carefully, Then you will find that the man has broken an arm.
"Buzz!——"
Since the man with a broken arm appeared from the smoke and dust, the swords in the hands of everyone present began to hum, and then the sword hilts were lowered in the direction of the man, as if they were worshiping him.
"Heng Yijian?!"
Shen Du's eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a bit of murderous intent, "Didn't you already retire? Are you here today to return to the Sword Master through my Shen family?!"
When everyone heard this name, they were all shocked and turned away one after another.
This name was very popular in the Yuanhong Continent. I think back then, this man held a giant sword and slaughtered countless powerful men. Wherever he passed, thousands of swords surrendered and the saint worshiped him.
It was a pity that during the battle for the Sword Lord, one of his arms was cut off by a single move of the sword, and he disappeared from the mainland since then.
Heng Yijian stood upright. When he raised his eyes, his eyes were like sharp swords. Many people just glanced at him and felt a powerful sword intent swept directly into their consciousness. Everyone lowered their eyes. I dare not look any further.
"I am not here today as Master Shen thinks. I am here just to seek justice."
"justice?"
Shen Du smiled, "You are a majestic sword master, do you want any justice? Why do you come to my Shen family to seek justice?!"
Heng Yijian's voice was still as steady as before, "Master Shen, we both know in our hearts that your daughter broke the contract privately and went to the Xiao family in Nanhai to break off the engagement, injuring many members of the Xiao family."
"And the son of the Xiao family also high-fived your daughter and made a three-year agreement. This agreement is sworn by the law of heaven. Now that the three-year agreement has arrived, the son of the Xiao family has also come as promised. Your Shen family How?"
"You, Shen Du, are going to kill Xiao Tian with just one palm! I will be here today to make this agreement fair!"
Shen Du was extremely angry. He didn't want to see everyone looking at them like they were watching a show again. If the comparison continued today, rumors about the Shen family would be flying all over the sky tomorrow!
Although Heng Yijian had retired for many years, the name of his supreme sword still echoed in Shen Du's mind, and he was not sure where Heng Yijian's current cultivation level was.
"Heng Yijian, today is my birthday, Shen, do you have to seek justice at this time?"
"How about you and Xiao Tian stay at the Shen family together, and after today, we can find time to compete again?"
Heng Yijian was not an unreasonable person, so he hesitated for a while and was about to agree when he heard a voice coming from the high hall.
"Since we want justice, let's compare it now and let this Holy Son be a witness to everyone!"
When Shen Du heard this voice, his face twitched a few times, and he turned around to look.
I saw Lu Yuan coming with his hands behind his back, standing beside Shen Du, pretending to be righteous and said: "Master Shen, this Heng Yi sword is so powerful. If you compete in private, what if they lose and cheat?"
"That is to say, if you, the Master of the Shen family, have such a kind heart and keep them in the Shen family, you are not afraid that they will take away all the remaining swords in your family. When the time comes, Master Shen, you won't even be able to cry anymore!"
"Why don't you let us be a witness? Even if they lose, they can't afford to lie!"
Lu Yuan's eyes were hot and sincere.
The flesh on Shen Du's face twitched a few more times. When Xiao Tian lifted up his sword just now, he knew that Shen Shuyan couldn't beat this Xiao Tian.
He originally wanted the two of them to compete in private, so that even if they lost, they wouldn't be embarrassed in front of so many people.
But now Lu Yuan acted like he was always there for him, and he was basically pushing him into the fire pit!
