The meaning of this sentence is easy to understand.
Now the entire dark world is in an extremely depressed state.
Tiandu Purgatory is waiting to be incorporated, the East Palace is silently expanding, the Beihai Wang family remains calm, and the major forces are indifferent...
Everything looks peaceful.
But behind this calmness is not tranquility and tranquility, but an oppressive and breathless chill.
Everyone understands that the East Palace is already unstoppable.
In such a situation, the Beihai Wang family is the first to bear the brunt.
They have been the strongest wealthy family in the dark world for hundreds of years, and can even be said to be one of them. The successive clan leaders of Beihai have amazing talents, and they have been passed down from generation to generation, continuing this glory.
As the inheritance time becomes longer and longer, this honor will become heavier and heavier, and the pressure will become greater and greater. This process is almost irreversible.
So many people are looking at the Beihai Wang family at this time.
The stronger it is, the more dangerous it is.
People believe that one day a certain generation of Beihai Wang family patriarchs will be unable to withstand the huge pressure. With their own collapse, this mountain and wealthy family that has stood in the dark world for hundreds of years will have a fight as soon as possible.
It collapsed like heaven and earth, ushering in an extremely tragic ending.
What many people don't know is that such rumors were actually originally spread from the Imperial Army Mountain. Hundreds of years ago, when this rumor first emerged, it was misleading, a conspiracy, or something else that has now become a reality.
There is no point in exploring. In short, after the rumor appeared and became more and more mysterious, the Beihai Wang family not only did not fall into collapse, but every generation of clan leaders since then has become stronger than the previous generation.
Until Wang Tianzong's generation.
The Sword Emperor was seriously injured.
The young patriarch of Beihai silently shouldered this pressure.
Is it hard or tiring? Maybe both.
Internal and external troubles.
Wang Qinglei took Wu Yue away unceremoniously. Although he maintained cooperation with the Prince Group, his intention to become independent was obvious.
This province in Beihai, where the Wang family first started, is now completely out of the control of Emperor Bingshan.
And Wang Xiaoyao's betrayal made the emperor's army even worse. The former Xiaoyao King of Beihai was tirelessly poaching his eldest nephew. Various technologies, talents, connections, and intelligence would be revealed from time to time.
Wang Xiaoyao pried it off. For now, Emperor Bingshan was not injured at all, but the losses were obvious.
In addition to the outside world, the Eastern Palace is rising.
What Wang Shengxiao faced could almost be said to be the worst situation for the Wang family in Beihai in the past century.
But Wang Shengxiao still did not collapse.
Now he is in the half-step invincible state, but because of Wang Tianzong's sword energy, he has combat power that surpasses the peak invincible state.
As long as Wang Shengxiao can hold his own, Beihai won't be any worse off.
Hundreds of years of inheritance, generation after generation of overlords, under the glorious aura of the Beihai Wang family, there is more than just pressure? For hundreds of years, Beihai has not done anything to maintain its own reputation. With that huge
The suffocating pressure coexists with the Beihai Wang family's hundreds of years of accumulation.
This is indeed the thing that the Beihai Wang family is least willing to touch.
That was a trump card accumulated by countless people over countless time and with countless blood. Once this foundation was touched, it would mean the beginning of the decline of the Beihai Wang family.
Beihai doesn't want to expose these trump cards, but that doesn't mean that others can ignore these things.
No one knows what these things are, but precisely because of the unknown, the trump cards are powerful enough to deter them.
Therefore, today's Eastern Palace can be said to be the most powerful force in the dark world.
But the Beihai Wang family can also be called the most unfathomable force in the dark world.
Li Tianlan has a strong reputation, but in terms of his background, various accumulations, influence, various secret cards, and research results, Donghuang Palace is really not enough.
Therefore, the Eastern Palace is constantly expanding and beginning to strengthen itself.
And their expansion has threatened the Beihai Wang Family in the most direct way.
Tiannan’s foundation is solid.
The layout of East Island.
The Snow Dance Army is ready to move.
The change of ownership of the Central Continent Special Warfare System.
Then there are America, Europe, Africa...
The path to the East Palace is clear. Everyone knows that Li Tianlan will go on like this step by step, taking down targets one by one. In the end, Beihai will be isolated and helpless and surrounded by enemies.
This situation in Beihai was foreseeable, but it was completely unexpected that it would happen so soon.
Xia Zhi's initial plan was to check and balance the East Palace Beihai Wang family and the Central Continent Council. At that time, Li Tianlan did not have the momentum he has today, but he was powerful enough that the East Palace did not want to fight to the death.
The Donghuang Palace and the Beihai Wang Family can fight, fight, and compete with each other, but they maintain restraint.
No matter how the two families fight, they must at least be united in dealing with the outside world when facing threats from the parliament. This is the common position of the two families who want to maintain their independence.
When facing the pressure from Zhongzhou, both the Eastern Palace and the Beihai Wang family need the support and support of the other party. It is the simplest truth.
This is also the reason why Beihai, the wealthy group and Donghuang Palace have always stood together firmly during the two years that Li Tianlan was in the Desert Prison.
Because at that time, they faced the vicious parliament and really needed to rely on each other to tide over the difficulties together.
But...
too fast.
Li Tianlan and Donghuang Palace have grown so fast.
After the chaos in Snow Country ended, and with the opening of a new era, Li Tianlan's martial arts progress was almost rapid. After more than two years in the desert prison, no one could have imagined that he would achieve such a big breakthrough, such an incredible progress.
This allowed him to ignore any bottlenecks and launch a mad sprint towards the end of the martial arts.
His Highness became His Majesty.
The high-profile integration of East Palace and Shengshi Fund.
Deputy Palace Master Saint. Deputy Palace Master Situ Cangyue. Deputy Palace Master Li Xi.
Chief Administrative Officer Military Advisor.
The wealthy group provides unreserved support.
Before anyone could react, the new group had already begun to take shape.
The defense line that Gu Xingyun had painstakingly built for more than twenty years in Zhongzhou was as fragile and ridiculous as a joke, and it collapsed at the first touch.
The special warfare group is in turmoil.
Gu Xingyun was also defeated miserably at the hands of Li Tianlan.
Then Jiang Shangyu and Li Kuangtu joined forces with Gu Xingyun.
Still failed miserably.
What is invincible?
Wherever Li Tianlan's sword passed, there was truly a peerless edge that could crush any obstacle.
Li Kuangtu surrendered.
Tiandu Purgatory was annexed.
The road to expansion is unstoppable.
This all happened so fast.
This was a scene that could have been predicted by Xia Zhi. It turned out that what she had predicted was completely correct, but the only thing wrong was the time.
For Li Tianlan and Donghuang Palace to reach this point, it would take at least five or six years, or even more than ten years, according to the predictions of the summer solstice.
Therefore, Xia Zhi was confident at the beginning and did not have excessive worries.
Because in five, six years, or even ten years, Wang Tianzong's injury will definitely recover.
When the time comes, Beihai won't be afraid of the East Palace at all. If Li Tianlan doesn't break through, he will never be able to surpass the Beihai Wang family. Even if he can successfully break through, with Wang Tianzong and Wang Shengxiao chasing after him, the Beihai Wang family will still be facing the East Palace.
There will be enough confidence.
At that time, the two families will be at war or at peace, and there will be plenty of room for negotiation.
However, due to the unreasonable and rapid development of Li Tianlan and the East Palace, Xia Zhi's plan was completely disrupted.
Donghuang, number one on the divine list, invincible in the world.
The outlines of the new group became more and more ferocious.
There are almost no decent obstacles on the way forward for the East Palace. The dark world is in a mess. What is placed in front of the East Palace is almost a piece of fat, just waiting for Li Tianlan to eat it.
All the facts have appeared very clearly in front of the Beihai Wang family. That is the current East Palace...
There is no longer any need to keep watch and help each other with the Wang family of Beihai.
Li Tianlan's development speed far exceeded Xia Zhi's wildest imagination. Under such a state, even without the Beihai Wang family, Zhongzhou would not dare to easily put pressure on the East Palace, let alone threaten it.
In this case...
The existence of the Beihai Wang family no longer means anything to Li Tianlan.
No, it still makes sense.
A destroyed Beihai Wang family is not only meaningful to the Eastern Palace, but also has huge benefits.
The cruel and cold dark world can tolerate everything, but it cannot tolerate the slightest warmth and kindness.
The positions are relative, there is no right or wrong, only interests.
When the East Palace, which is so powerful that it no longer needs allies, begins to appear, then the Beihai Wang family is just a piece of meat in Li Tianlan's eyes, and the one with the most oil and water.
He swallowed up Tiandu Purgatory, swallowed up Tiannan, and swallowed up Dongdao.
What’s next?
Should we directly expand to the Americas and Europe while stabilizing the status of Central Continent?
Or...
Directly unite with Zhongzhou and quickly swallow up the Wang family in Beihai?
Compared with the former speculation, the latter one is the most likely.
There is no point in retaining the Beihai Wangs in the Eastern Palace when they do not need the Beihai Wangs to be mutually dependent allies.
Li Tianlan and Wang Yuetong are indeed related, and they are extremely close.
The last time Li Tianlan was in Emperor Bingshan, it was indeed because Wang Yuetong 'let go' of the Beihai Wang family.
But what about the actual situation?
At that time, when Li Tianlan, who was sweeping across the entire Beihai, officially needed the Beihai Wang family as an ally, he went to Beihai just to ask for an explanation, for Dongcheng, for the Lord of Samsara Palace, and for many people.
He stole several famous swords from the Wang family in Beihai, and when he later traded them back, Beihai brought him unimaginable benefits.
In fact, Li Tianlan did not have the strength to truly destroy Beihai at that time.
Not to mention what the hidden cards of the Imperial Army Mountain, which seemed empty at the time, were.
Not to mention the firepower of the various miraculous weapon systems that have been rumored on Imperial Arms Mountain.
Even if it was Xia Zhi at that time, if she took action regardless of her injuries, Li Tianlan would not be able to defeat her.
The feelings between two people, mixed between such behemoths as the East Palace and Beihai, may be very clear, but they really have no weight.
Li Tianlan is indeed the palace master, but if they have a chance to destroy Beihai, but he wants to let Beihai go because of Wang Yuetong, he, the palace master, will also be under unimaginable pressure, and there will be countless people pushing behind him
Ask him to change his decision.
So the fact is obvious.
Once there is a chance to destroy Beihai, Li Tianlan will not hesitate at all without Beihai as an ally.
It is indeed very popular to expand wildly by bypassing Beihai, and it is also in line with short-term interests. However, Wang Tianzong's existence is a variable after all, and Li Tianlan's breakthrough is hopeless for the time being. With the existence of Wang's family in Beihai, once Wang Tianzong recovers, Dong will be uncomfortable.
The palace.
Since this is very dangerous, why not chew the hardest bones first before eating meat?
As long as there is a chance, why not?
This is what Donghuang Palace thinks.
Other forces in the dark world think the same way. They are sure that with the expansion of the Eastern Palace, they will face some pressure from the Eastern Palace. However, the main direction of operations of the Eastern Palace will inevitably be Beihai. As long as Beihai does not
If destroyed, they will be safe for the time being.
The Beihai Wang family also thought the same.
The expansion of the Eastern Palace has begun, and Li Tianlan, who has reached his peak, has established his position in the dark world. As Li Kuangtu surrenders, Li Tianlan's sharp edges and fangs will inevitably fall over the North Sea like a shadow again.
But this time is different from last time.
This time, there was no figure in Beihai who could stand in front of Li Tianlan, and Xia Zhi was no longer his opponent.
All this could have been avoided.
But Li Tianlan's growth rate has far exceeded Wang Tianzong's recovery speed and Beihai Wang's cultivation speed.
So when Li Tianlan climbed to the top of the God List and the Eastern Palace took advantage of the opportunity to annex Tiandu Purgatory to officially expand, the Beihai Wang family couldn't sit still.
Up and down the North Sea, a clear and extremely dangerous signal was smelled.
For the North Sea, this is a crisis.
But it is also an opportunity to sort out the forces of the dark world and form an anti-Eastern Emperor alliance.
The Beihai Wang family will definitely seize the opportunity, even if they spend a lot of money.
Now everyone in the dark world who can clearly see the situation knows that Beihai will definitely take action, and the major forces are hesitant to enter the scene.
The formation of the alliance this time is almost the entire dark world's last sniper attack on Li Tianlan before he reaches the top. If it succeeds, everyone will be happy. If it fails, they can only wait for Wang Tianzong.
And before taking action this time, Beihai's preparations cannot be overstated. This may be an action that bets on Beihai's future. If it succeeds, Beihai will still be the overlord in the future, and some of the resources spent can be earned back.
With Wang Tianzong recovering and Wang Shengxiao added to the mix, Beihai will be even stronger.
If it fails, before Wang Tianzong recovers, Beihai can only keep his head down and deal with the dual pressures of the Eastern Palace and the Central Continent Council. If he copes well, he can survive until Wang Tianzong recovers. If he fails to cope, there will be nothing in the future.
.
So they are planning and making preparations. As the North Sea becomes increasingly quiet, everyone is waiting for the upcoming conflict between the two superpowers of the dark world.
And this action must have an entry point.
The East Palace remains silent now, but is always searching, intending to lock down the location of Beihai's attack first.
But...
What if this location is in the North Sea?
If Wang Shengxiao and Xia Zhi are crazy enough, if they are really prepared, if they get the news, they will detain Huangfu Qiu Shui in Emperor Bing Mountain, or kill him directly.
With Li Tianlan's temper, he was bound to be killed. Once Huangfu Qiushui died, it would not be the Valkyrie of Beihai who died, but the Valkyrie of the East Palace.
His temper and his current momentum must support him to take a trip to Beihai.
What if Beihai was waiting for Li Tianlan to come?
Nowadays, the Northern Navy Regiment boasts 800,000 soldiers, dozens of special forces, both overt and covert, various trump cards that have not been exposed, and an alliance that is indeed so luxurious that it is suffocating.
What would happen if Li Tianlan went to Beihai when all of this was prepared in Beihai, with the right time, place and people in hand?
Did Xia Zhi choose the North Sea as the location for the operation from the very beginning?
"Intelligence shows that Jiang Shangyu and Wang Shengxiao are still in Europe. Well, even if this is false, Huangfu Qiushui invited me to Huating, and even temporarily decided to join the East Palace. This kind of operation was not expected by Xia Zhi. This news came a few hours ago
It has just been spread that Huangfu Qiushui has just left, so there cannot be any preparations for the Summer Solstice. If everything goes well, Huangfu Qiushui can return to Huating tonight. If they come back, I will go directly to Beihai, Li Kuangtu, and Jiang Shangyu
, when Wang Shengxiao is not in Beihai, I will directly kill Xia Zhi without wasting any energy."
Li Tianlan laughed softly and said: "I can be sure that Huangfu Qiushui's matter is not a conspiracy. One's eyes cannot deceive others. Her eyes told me that she could not betray me, so she joined the Eastern Palace and asked to return to Beihai.
This is not a trap set by Xia Zhi for me."
"Estrus eyes?"
Qin Weibai tilted his head and looked at Li Tianlan, half-smiling.
Before Li Tianlan could speak, Qin Weibai smiled and continued: "Even if Huangfu Qiushui's matter is not a game, it doesn't mean that the other party has not prepared anything. In fact, Li Kuangtu, Gu Xingyun, and Mo Lai
De, there are several sensitive figures whose whereabouts could not be determined a few days ago. Currently, the only ones that can be determined are Jiang Shangyu and Wang Shengxiao, but there is no way to observe and confirm them at close range, and the possibility of them using stand-ins cannot be ruled out."
"If Xia Zhi really chooses Beihai as the battlefield... then Huangfu Qiushui's incident can only be regarded as an opportunity that comes to her door. It is not of much significance at all, because even if she does not have this incident, she must have other things.
The method requires you to go to Beihai."
"Won't."
Li Tianlan shook his head: "I'm not worried about this, she is reluctant to let go."
"But Xia Zhi is a woman."
Qin Weibai said.
"Um?"
Li Tianlan couldn't understand the meaning of this sentence for a while.
"For a woman, as long as her man can be fine, there is nothing she can't bear to part with."
Qin Weibai looked into Li Tianlan's eyes and said softly: "If it were me, I wouldn't care no matter how big the price is for you, even if I kill everyone in the world, just the two of us, as long as you are fine."
In Xia Zhi's eyes, you are not only a threat to the Wang family in Beihai, but also a threat to Wang Tianzong. If she wants to eradicate you, she will definitely do whatever it takes."
Li Tianlan looked at Qin Weibai quietly.
His woman, his goddess.
Qin Weibai's eyes were deep and bright, like the starry sky, like a dream.
Even if I kill everyone in the world...
His heart palpitated, and he stretched out his hand to pull Qin Weibai's hair.
Qin Weibai obediently moved along with Li Tianlan's strength. She twisted her body and lay in Li Tianlan's arms.
"We are different from them."
Li Tianlan said softly: "The weight of the Beihai Wang family in Wang Tianzong's heart is different from the weight of the East Palace in my heart. In Wang Tianzong's heart, Beihai is more important than anything else. This kind of thinking will also affect Xia Zhi. I believe that in order to deal with me, they
They can pay a lot of money, even blood. For example, immortality potion or something, but there are always some things that they can't pay or can't afford."
"for example?"
Qin Weibai grabbed Li Tianlan's palm and placed it on her head. Feeling the warm palm moving along her hair, she squinted her eyes like a cat enjoying the sunshine.
"For example, the public sentiment in Beihai."
Li Tianlan's voice was a little erratic, but it also carried an extremely extreme confidence and indifference: "This is their strong foundation, and it is also their most fatal weakness. Xia Zhi does not have the courage to put the battlefield in Beihai. Today I
, she will probably know what will happen if we let go."
Li Tianlan's voice paused and he chuckled: "To put it bluntly, if she places the battlefield at the Imperial Army Mountain, I will have no scruples. Not only will the Imperial Army Mountain cease to exist, but the entire Holy State will be directly pushed away by me.
Flat. If the battlefield is in Qiushui, I can even easily level half of the North Sea and push the battlefield directly across the Canglan River. Xia Zhi is indeed willing to pay the price, but is she willing to pay such a price?"
Qin Weibai looked up at Li Tianlan, her eyes sparkling with clear admiration and obsession.
This look was the same as the one she used to kneel in front of Li Tianlan to eat many times. It was a look that could satisfy Li Tianlan's desire to conquer to the maximum extent.
"Want to pour me some ecstasy soup again?"
Li Tianlan laughed and cursed, but his thoughts were a little wandering under such eyes.
Qin Wei rolled his eyes at him and snorted softly.
Li Tianlan is probably the only person in the world who can say, dare to say, and is qualified to say that he can single-handedly flatten half of the North Sea.
In terms of martial arts, such fighting power has really exceeded the limit of most people's imagination, and such a record is difficult for even Wang Tianzong to achieve.
Well, it was Wang Tianzong at his peak, that night at Moormans.
In that state, Wang Tianzong's sword energy was indeed better than that of Li Tianlan now, but his physical strength was limited.
And Li Tianlan now has two hearts, and with endless physical strength, his combat endurance is enough to make any opponent completely despair.
Set the battlefield in the North Sea...
How dare Xia Zhi?
At that time, Beihai will become a true purgatory, with corpses everywhere, rivers of blood, and the world turned upside down.
The most cohesive public sentiment accumulated in Beihai over hundreds of years will also completely collapse.
The Beihai Wang family, which has lost the hearts of the people of Beihai, is just the Emperor Bingshan and the seven sword-wielding families.
Even if Beihai wins and Li Tianlan really dies, what awaits Beihai will be a disintegrating ending.
The huge pressure in Central Continent is coming down from top to bottom. What else can the Beihai Wang family do to stop the people's disintegration?
"You know how to brag."
Qin Weibai looked at Li Tianlan with a smile, his voice was charming.
"Actually, it's a bit of a pity."
Li Tianlan was a little regretful: "If I could wait for a year, no, less than a year, after the election, and everything has settled, I would be free to join forces with the teacher to destroy the Beihai Wang family. As long as we
If you act first, all the groups in Central Continent will be unable to help but follow suit, so that is the safest way."
"It's just that everything went too fast. Li Kuangtu gave up too quickly, and Wang Tianzong woke up too quickly, so time is very tight for both us and Beihai."
Qin Weibai suddenly lifted his body from Li Tianlan's arms and frowned: "Wang Tianzong is awake? Where did you get this news?"
"I just met Wang Xiaoyao at Sky Academy."
Li Tianlan explained and smiled: "He said that the reason Beihai dares to be so determined now is because Wang Tianzong woke up."
Qin Weibai's brows did not loosen, and he said softly: "It's just that you don't think this is contradictory?
The reason why Beihai attacked us is because your growth rate exceeds the speed of Wang Tianzong's awakening. If Wang Tianzong wakes up now, there is actually no need for Xia Zhi to attack you at all, no, that's not the case..."
Qin Weibai's eyes narrowed and he fell silent.
"Just because he wakes up, it doesn't mean that his condition will get any better. It just means that there is hope for recovery now. With Moormans' eternal sword, I wouldn't be surprised even if Wang Tianzong completely dies. He can wake up.
lucky."
Li Tianlan said quietly: "It's because he woke up that Xia Zhi took action against us. It's hard to describe Wang Tianzong's status in the dark world. He has been invincible for so many years and is already a symbol of invincibility. His awakening can stimulate
The morale of the Wang family in Beihai is also a pressure on us, which means that neither we nor Beihai have any choice."
"Now that he's awake, Donghuang Palace will definitely not choose to eat meat first. Instead, he will focus on taking advantage of his illness to kill him and deal with Beihai first. The goal is very clear. Xia Zhi, this can be regarded as attacking first and taking the initiative.
Taking action is an attack on us. In this way, they will form an alliance and be more united. If we wait until we take action against them, it will be a passive defense. Others may help, but there will obviously be more tricks. At present, Wang Tianzong
I woke up, but it obviously still takes time to recover. And this time, at least in Xia Zhi's heart, should be faster than the speed at which we destroyed Beihai. Therefore, my growth rate is still faster than Wang Tianzong's recovery rate, and it is precisely because of this
, Wang Shengxiao and Xia Zhi would choose to take a gamble."
"certainly..."
Li Tianlan said calmly: "There is another possibility, that is Wang Xiaoyao is talking nonsense."
"What else did Wang Xiaoyao say to you?"
Qin Weibai asked.
"He said almost nothing that was really useful."
Li Tianlan shook his head: "Probably he wants to test my strength, and want to see how big the gap is between me and Wang Tianzong in Moormans. This is his main purpose.
As for other things...he also said he wanted to cooperate with me."
"Join forces?"
Qin Weibai raised his eyebrows.
"These are all problems after this matter is resolved. He said that if I can survive, he is willing to join hands with me to destroy the Imperial Army Mountain and kill Wang Tianzong. He only wants half of Beihai, and the remaining half will be given to him unconditionally
East Palace."
There was a hint of uncertainty in Li Tianlan's tone.
Destroy the Wang family, kill the Sword Emperor, and divide Beihai equally.
Clear, simple and direct.
Li Tianlan recalled Wang Xiaoyao's extremely calm expression when he talked about these things. Behind that calmness, what he could feel was extremely determined and ruthless viciousness.
Wang Tianzong has such a younger brother. Is he lucky or unlucky?
Qin Weibai was silent for a while and said softly: "You agreed?"
"No."
Li Tianlan shook his head: "Because I don't know whether I should trust him or not."
