Qiu Shan looked at Nie Tian with a look of joy on his face, as if something great had happened to him.
"Big shot?" Nie Tian was a little happy when he saw Qiu Shan. He couldn't help but smile and joked: "How big of a shot?"
Qiu Shan immediately noticed the gaffe, laughed awkwardly, and said, "Sir, this is Lord Duanmu Bai, the master of Qiankun Palace."
"Duanmu Bai!" Gu Yi and Ding Yifan were stunned at the same time, then looked at each other and said in unison: "He is indeed a big shot."
Duanmu Bai, the master of Qiankun Palace, has indeed a very high status.
The Qiankun Palace is in the Nanshan Region and is the top force alongside the Huashen Sect, so Duanmu Bai can be said to be the pinnacle figure in the Nanshan Region. Just like Tang Hao's status in the Three Thousand Small Worlds.
Nie Tian was not too surprised because he had long expected Duanmu Bai to come.
With the strength of Qiankun Palace, it is not difficult to find out the whereabouts of the Duanmulu brothers and sisters.
Duanmu Lu and his sister sneaked out twice, and Duanmu Bai was probably furious, so he went to find them himself.
"Let's go and meet this big shot for a while." Nie Tian smiled lightly and prepared to return to the City Lord's Mansion immediately.
Anyway, the dragon's blood stone veins have been almost processed, and it is enough to leave Gu Yi and Ding Yifan behind.
After a while, Nie Tian and Qiu Shan returned to the main palace of Tianluo City.
In the lobby of the City Lord's Mansion, a middle-aged man in white was sitting at the head of the guest seat. Next to him stood the brother and sister Duanmu Lu and Duanmu Wan'er. Both of them were trembling with fear. They lowered their heads and did not dare to take a breath. They seemed to be wilting.
eggplant.
The middle-aged man, who looks about thirty years old, is dressed in Tsing Yi. He is majestic and handsome. Although he is sitting, you can see that he has a tall figure and a heroic look between his eyebrows. Without speaking, he already exudes a sense of majesty.
, don’t be angry and be proud.
He is none other than the Palace Master of Qiankun Palace, Duanmu Bai.
Jin Dabao sat on the other side, facing Duanmu Bai, fearing that the latter would be impatient to wait, so he said: "Mr. Duanmu, please use tea. The best Nanshan maple leaves are red, just picked, very fresh."
Duanmubai just glanced at Jin Dabao lightly, without speaking or drinking tea.
Jin Dabao smiled awkwardly and said to himself: "It's hard to take care of big people, so you should just wait for the boss to come back."
"Sir, Palace Master Duanmu is already waiting for you." At this time, Qiu Shan's voice sounded.
"Huh!" Seeing Nie Tian and Qiu Shan returning, Jin Dabao secretly exhaled a breath of turbidity.
It was really depressing to get along with these big people, and Jin Dabao couldn't stand it anymore.
"Brother Nie Tian, you are back!" Duanmu Wan'er was a little excited when she saw Nie Tian appear, as if she had met a savior, and she shouted in surprise.
"Don't talk!" Duanmu Bai said coldly, glared at Duanmu Wan'er, and then looked outside the lobby. When he saw a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy walking over, he frowned but still stood up.
No matter what, Nie Tian was Duanmulu and Duanmu Wan'er's savior, and saved them more than once. In this regard, Duanmu Bai also had to show kindness to Nie Tian.
Moreover, recently, Nie Tian's reputation has become extremely popular, and the whole Nanshan Region has been spreading wildly, especially after Nie Tian brutally killed Luo Fen.
Duanmu Bai also wanted to see what kind of young man he was that could stir up such a big storm in the Nanshan Region.
"Sir, this is Palace Master Duanmu." Qiu Shan followed Nie Tian, unable to conceal his excitement, and introduced.
The reason why Akiyama is so concerned about Duanmubai's appearance is because he sees the hope of revenge.
If Duanmu Bai's power could be used, perhaps his revenge could be avenged one day earlier.
Nie Tian nodded, smiled faintly, and said, "Palace Master Duanmu, you are a big shot."
Duanmubai looked at Nie Tian's relaxed expression, and seemed a little unhappy. He responded and said: "City Lord Nie Tian held the Dragon Blood Martial Arts Tournament, which alarmed the entire Nanshan Region. Even the other three regions and Xumi Ling knew about it.
, you are the big shot."
"Palace Master Duanmu has given you too much praise." Nie Tian was not polite. He accepted Duanmu Bai's compliment, which was not a compliment, and then extended his hand and said, "Please sit down."
Duanmu Bai sat down, but there was obvious displeasure on his face.
In his opinion, with his own identity, when he arrived at the city lord's palace in a small border town of a third-rate empire, the city lord should be extremely excited and rush to praise himself to the sky.
But Nie Tian's reaction was too bland. This made Duanmu Bai a little uncomfortable and slightly unhappy.
"Father, this is City Lord Nie Tian that I told you, the great benefactor who saved me and Wan'er three times." Duanmu Lu noticed that Duanmu Bai was a little unhappy and hurriedly stepped forward and said.
"Yes." Duanmubai nodded, cupped his hands slightly and said, "Thank you City Master Nie Tian for saving Quanzi's life several times. Duanmubai is very grateful."
"There is no need to be grateful." Nie Tian smiled lightly, took a sip of the fine Nanshan maple leaf red, and said with a smile: "I am a more pragmatic person. Palace Master Duanmu should exchange gratitude directly into visible benefits.
Bar."
"Pfft!" As soon as Nie Tian said this, the sip of tea Duanmubai had just taken into his mouth spurted out.
He didn't expect that Nie Tian would actually take it seriously and say it so straightforwardly when he was just perfunctory.
Even if you want benefits, you have to use hints. How can you ask for benefits by opening your mouth so nakedly?
This is too shameless.
Not only Duanmu Bai, but also Duanmulu and Duanmu Wan'er behind him, Qiu Shan and Jin Dabao on the other side, all looked at Nie Tian in surprise, as if they doubted whether they heard wrongly.
"Boss, boss, although you saved Duanmulu and Duanmu Wan'er, how can you directly ask for benefits? Can they give it to you?" Jin Dabao complained in his heart as the fat on his fat face was tangled together.
.
Qiu Shan also frowned, feeling that what Nie Tian did was a bit excessive.
But Nie Tian smiled lightly, slowly put down the teacup in his hand, and said with a smile: "Why are you looking at me like this? Palace Master Duanmu is expressing his gratitude to me. I can't refuse, right? That's too much.
To give face to Palace Master Duanmu. Palace Master Duanmu, don’t you think so?”
"...Yes." Duanmu Bai looked at Nie Tian's playful smile, and the muscles on his face twitched a few times in embarrassment, and finally he could only nod.
What he just said has been spoken, and Nie Tian caught it immediately and refused to let go. What could Duanmu Bai do?
He really didn't expect that the famous Tianluo City Lord would be a greedy guy. He wanted benefits so aggressively, which was really unacceptable.
But when he thought about the entry fee for the first grade Yuanjing he paid when he entered the city, Duanmu Bai understood in his heart and decided that Nie Tian was a profit-seeking person.
Duanmu Bai looked at Nie Tian and said in his heart: "Nie Tian, after all, you are still too young and don't have a long-term vision. You saved my son and daughter. What a big favor. You actually want to get benefits from me. It doesn't matter, as long as you save my son and daughter.
Your conditions are not excessive, and I agree to them. Even if I am blackmailed by you once, it can only be once."
Duanmubai originally thought that Lord Tianluo would be a young talent, and even thought about making more friends with him, but Nie Tian's current performance really disappointed him.
Duanmu Bai knew that Tianluo City at this time seemed to have infinite scenery, but in fact it was undercurrent.
Such big forces gathered in Tianluo City, and Nie Tian, the city lord, offended many people, even the red-clothed elder of the Alchemist Guild.
Under such circumstances, how long can the scenery of Tianluo City last?
If Nie Tian is a person who can balance the forces of all parties, then there may be a chance to save Tianluo City.
But the Nie Tian we see now is a profit-seeking person.
At this time, Nie Tian has the support of forces like Gu Yi and Dayuan Chamber of Commerce, so Tianluo City will naturally be fine. But after the Dragon Blood Martial Arts Association, will Gu Yi and Dayuan Chamber of Commerce continue to protect Tianluo City?
Probably not.
Therefore, Duanmu Bai believes that after the end of the Dragon Blood Martial Arts Tournament, the glory of Tianluo City will come to an end. At that time, any force can reduce Tianluo City to ruins.
Nie Tian watched Duanmu Bai's expression change again and again, and roughly guessed what the latter was thinking, but he didn't care. Instead, he took a big sip of tea, and then without being polite, he said directly: "I want to form an alliance with Qiankun Palace.
"
"Puff! Puff! Puff! Bang!" Before Nie Tian could finish his words, Duanmubai took three sips of the tea before he could drink it. Then his hand shook and the teacup fell to the ground.
Others stared at Nie Tian with their eyes widened and stiff expressions.
Form an alliance!?
Fortunately, Nie Tian could speak out!
What kind of power is Qiankun Palace? What kind of power is Tianluo City?
One is the top force in the Nanshan Region, a small border town of a third-rate empire.
Putting these two forces together, that is the difference between an elephant and an ant, and the difference between top-quality crystals and broken stones.
Not to mention forming an alliance, even if Tianluo City is attached to Qiankun Palace, it is absolutely impossible.
Tianluo City, or to be precise, Nie Tian, has made too many enemies. If we form an alliance with Tianluo City at this time, wouldn't it be like setting ourselves on fire?
No matter how stupid Duanmu Bai is, he will never be this stupid.
Although Nie Tian saved Duanmulu and Duanmu Wan'er, the benefit Nie Tian asked for was too great and he couldn't agree to it.
Nie Tian didn't know what Duanmubai was thinking, but he knew that forming an alliance with Qiankun Palace at this time would definitely give the latter a chance to become the top force in the Three Thousand Small Worlds.
If Qiankun Palace and Nie Tian form an alliance, within a few years, they will definitely be able to compete with the four major families, and even have the opportunity to enter a higher level of the world.
Nie Tian wanted to form an alliance with Qiankun Palace after careful consideration.
Now he has offended too many people, including the Huashen Sect, Diao Zhengde, the direct young master of the Gu family, and the Flame of Doom lurking in the dark, and just now there is a more troublesome Ling Xuantian Pavilion.
Although he has Gu Yi and Dayuan Chamber of Commerce by his side, neither of them can be considered truly powerful.
Although Gu Yi is the red-clothed elder of the Alchemist Guild, he relies on the power of the Alchemist Guild, and there are not many strong people he can really mobilize.
Although the Dayuan Chamber of Commerce is one of the seven top chambers of commerce in the Wuhui Chamber of Commerce, it is only a chamber of commerce after all, and is much weaker than the real sect power.
Nie Tian lacks a coercive collaborator and needs a force that can control the situation to help him support his appearance, and he feels that Qiankun Palace is a good choice.
