After having breakfast and watching the morning news, Li Huacheng, who had a rare leisurely morning, walked through the backyard and came to his office.
There is no specific office space in the buildings in Yinlonghai. The nine directors all have a single-family building that is not actually small in size. It has a front and back yard. The back yard is a rest area. Passing by a small yard with grape vines, the front
The courtyard is the office area.
The president's chief secretary Ma Si had already arrived at the office ten minutes before Li Huacheng arrived. He cleaned the office, boiled a pot of water, and sorted out yesterday's documents. When everything was cleaned up, Li Huacheng, who was very time-conscious, walked slowly.
Come in.
"president."
Ma Si said hello with a smile.
Li Huacheng smiled, handed him a bag of tea in his hand, and said softly: "I drank black tea today, the taste of my hometown, I miss it a bit."
"OK."
Ma Si took the tea and saw that the president had no instructions, so he quietly left.
Li Huacheng walked to his desk and immediately saw a document that Ma Si had deliberately placed in a conspicuous position.
Printed under the document is the seal of the Central Continent Security Department, which is bright red, meaning it is of extremely high priority.
Li Huacheng frowned slightly, picked up the document, and scanned it quickly first. He seemed a little surprised, then lowered his head and read it slowly.
Ma Si opened the office door, walked in with boiling water, and started making tea.
"Is the news confirmed?"
Li Huacheng raised the document in his hand and asked softly.
A strange color flashed in Ma Si's eyes, and then he nodded: "It's absolutely true. The entire dark world should know the news by now."
Li Huacheng was a little dumbfounded. After a few seconds, he laughed and said: "Of course I know this is true, but..."
He looked at the seal underneath the document.
With this seal, it proves that this is 100% genuine news.
But some things are still unbelievable even if they are known to be true.
"I probably feel the same way as the president, and I think this is a bit unbelievable. It's just that this thing did happen."
Ma Si laughed and sighed: "There is a mysterious strong man challenging the Eastern Emperor Li Tianlan... If the other party is not tired of living, then it can only mean one thing..."
"Tsk..."
Li Huacheng shook his head: "The dark world is not peaceful again."
"There has never been peace."
Ma Si shook his head slightly.
Li Huacheng picked up the document thoughtfully, read it again, and suddenly asked: "What do you think of this matter?"
Ma Si was a little confused and didn't understand what Li Huacheng meant.
"Who are the people and masters in the dark world? The special warfare systems of various countries have detailed records. Under such circumstances, it is unlikely that so-called outsiders will appear. Of course, there are no absolutes in this world. In the past few decades,
Over the years, there have indeed been some invincible masters emerging from the sight of all countries, but only occasionally, and none of these few cases has reached the pinnacle of invincibility so far."
"The intelligence said clearly that the challenger showed strength beyond the peak invincibility in an instant. What does this mean?"
"The Dark World has already said that Donghuang is invincible in the world. Wang Tianzong's whereabouts are unknown. In the current Dark World, the level of combat power is very obvious. Li Tianlan can barely be regarded as the only one, followed by Li Kuangtu and Lin Fengting. The two of them are beyond
What’s next? What’s funny is that there is no peak invincible master in the entire dark world. Such a situation is too rare. That mysterious challenger, I believe he has the ability to surpass the peak invincible realm.
In other words, even if the opponent's combat power level is not up to Li Tianlan's level, it should be very close, probably at the same level as Lin Fengting and Li Kuangtu."
"If such a person has no ambition, then there is no need for him to challenge Li Tianlan. If he has ambition, then where was he before? If he wanted to develop his power, he would have already become a big shot in the dark world. Anyway, with such strength
, it can’t happen overnight, right? He has been keeping a low profile for so long, why would he suddenly jump out in front of everyone? He even wants to challenge Li Tianlan, who is known as the Eastern Emperor?”
Ma Si handed the brewed black tea to Li Huacheng and sat down across from him casually. He had been with Li Huacheng for nearly fifteen years, and the relationship between the secretary and the leader had almost transformed into one similar to family affection.
Because of his emotions, he was not overly restrained in many cases. He tapped the black tea in front of him and said thoughtfully: "You mean, because of the upcoming decisive battle in the North Sea?"
"The Prime Minister has some partners, such as Wang Qinglei, and even some foreign forces..."
Li Huacheng said in a low voice: "I don't know whether they found Wang Qinglei and then Wang Qinglei found the Prime Minister, or the Prime Minister took the initiative to contact them, but the Prime Minister once told me personally that in the dark world, there is another His Majesty that no one knows."
His Majesty!
This term has always been a specific term in the dark world.
For example, the former Wang Tianzong.
For example, Li Tianlan now.
This title basically means invincible.
Ma Si's face changed slightly.
"No matter how secretive your Majesty is, he is also your Majesty, and his strength will not be too bad. If the Prime Minister knows about him, it means that he is also interested in Beihai. Dongdao's ambition for Beihai must be understandable, but in the whole incident, the Holy See
The interference with the Chiang clan in South America obviously has traces of artificial promotion. If you want to integrate these forces, you really need a fighting force that can control the situation. That His Majesty... should be him, and it can only be him."
"If I'm not wrong, the other party should be the mastermind behind the decisive battle in Beihai. Ha, some of his ideas have even affected Wang Qinglei and the Prime Minister. In other words, the Prime Minister has been used by him. He is indeed a powerful figure."
"He challenged Li Tianlan in Tiannan..."
Ma Si's eyes flashed suddenly: "Does this mean that the other party is trying to attract attention, and the real plan, the last resort, will be used in the North Sea, which means that the decisive battle in the North Sea is about to begin?"
"That's understandable."
Li Huacheng frowned: "But it's not necessary. It's right to attract attention. But in this case, doesn't His Majesty think it's best to continue hiding in the dark? One is probably at the same level as Li Tianlan or slightly worse
Even Li Tianlan wouldn't dare to be careless if some mysterious strong men hide in secret and attack secretly, so why would he be exposed before the decisive battle?"
Is this His Majesty a fool?
Ma Si complained in his mind, carefully choosing his words to express his personal thoughts: "Perhaps he thinks there is no need to hide? Or maybe the things he is about to arrange in Beihai are more important than his own existence?"
"He himself is already a master who has surpassed the peak of invincibility. What else can be more important than him? Fierce soldiers? Ordinary ferocious soldiers can't even hurt Li Tianlan. More important than him, only..."
Li Huacheng suddenly paused.
Ma Si suddenly came back to his senses and said subconsciously: "The only masters who are more important than him are at the same level as him. Their identities are more hidden, and they are even less likely to appear in Beihai."
"Kuantu Li!"
The next moment, Li Huacheng and Ma Si said a name at the same time.
Li Huacheng suddenly frowned, hesitated for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "Contact Li Tianlan for me."
Ma Si took out his cell phone, found the specially marked number, and dialed it directly.
The call was answered quickly.
Li Tianlan's calm voice came from the other side of the phone: "Okay, President, I'm Li Tianlan."
Li Huacheng smiled and said straight to the point: "What do you think of the mysterious master who invited me to fight?"
"It may not be that mysterious, but we do have no evidence to prove the identity of the other party. We are just guessing. In the decisive battle in Beihai, the ultimate force that Chen Fangqing can rely on is probably him."
"Something suddenly rang out to me."
Li Huacheng waited quietly for Li Tianlan to finish speaking, and then slowly said: "There has been no news from Tiandu Purgatory for more than two years. I don't know what Li Kuangtu's condition is like. Tianlan, there are some things that cannot be ignored."
His tone was very light.
But the reminder is already extremely obvious.
Li Tianlan was silent for a moment.
He was a little surprised by Li Huacheng's sudden concern, but he was not surprised either.
Li Huacheng and the academic group are still neutral. They have withdrawn from cooperation with the Prince Group and have not made any comments on Li Tianlan's actions. Their neutral attitude is obvious.
But now any fool can see that Chen Fangqing's chances of winning are not great, and the academic school seems to be neutral, but for the Prince Group and Chen Fangqing, it is a real betrayal. If Chen Fangqing can win, Li Huacheng himself
It's hard to say how, but the life of the academic group is definitely not that easy. However, Li Huacheng always leaves room for action. This neutral stance is the room he leaves. Even if the Prince Group wins in the end, the academic group may not be able to scale.
It will shrink, but it won't completely disappear.
But even this is not what Li Huacheng wants to see. He has a complicated heart. If Li Tianlan wins, it means that the East Palace will be as out of control as Beihai from now on. If the Prince Group wins, the academic school is destined to live in the future.
Difficult, he thought again and again, and in the end he could only speak according to the other party's strength. Li Tianlan was strong, so Li Huacheng put the chips on Li Tianlan. Such a reminder was completely an expression of goodwill.
"Kuantu Li is in Beihai now. In fact, I just came back from Tiandu City last night."
Li Tianlan said calmly: "What is certain is that if a decisive battle breaks out in the near future, then except for Li Kuangtu, no one in Tiandu Purgatory needs to worry."
Li Huacheng's heart shook violently, and he subconsciously narrowed his eyes.
He couldn't understand the meaning of Li Tianlan's words for a while, but the point of what he wanted to say was not here: "The most important thing to worry about now is Kuangtu Li. I don't know what Li Kuangtu's current state is, and the mysterious master who challenges him
, the strength is also extremely strong, and it is certain that there are already several invincible masters involved in the next decisive battle. If we add these two people... what are the chances of winning?"
There was no response from the person on the phone for a long time.
Just when Li Huacheng thought the call had been hung up, Li Tianlan's voice rang: "Don't worry."
His tone was calm and filled with extreme confidence: "They can't make any trouble."
"I'm going to have breakfast."
He slowly said: "Goodbye."
The call was hung up immediately.
Li Huacheng looked at the phone in his hand, stunned.
The entire dark world is now speculating on how strong Li Tianlan is now, but to this day, Li Tianlan's strength is still a mystery. The strength he has shown so far is not enough for others to have a clear judgment on his combat effectiveness.
He thought of Li Tianlan's tone.
It is a kind of peace and calmness where everything is under control.
Does Li Tianlan really have the absolute confidence to single-handedly overthrow the luxurious lineup composed of two masters who have surpassed the peak invincibility realm and the digital invincibility realm?
If he really has this ability...
With such a lineup, does it mean that he can really sweep the entire dark world on his own?
He may not have reached the level that Wang Tianzong was at that time.
But Tianjiao is never a realm.
If he can do this, before Wang Tianzong recovers from his injury, Li Tianlan will be the true genius of this era.
Li Huacheng took a deep breath.
He picked up the tea cup and took a sip of the black tea from his hometown. After a long time, he said sincerely: "Times are really going to change."
Just as Ma Sigang was about to say something, his cell phone rang again.
But what rang was not the work phone in Li Huacheng's hand, but Li Huacheng's personal cell phone.
Ma Si stood up and wanted to leave, but Li Huacheng waved his hand and motioned for him to sit down.
He took out his cell phone and glanced at the number, then narrowed his eyes with a subtle expression.
He didn't expect to receive this call at all.
I don't even know what the purpose of this call is.
Li Huacheng hesitated for a moment and pressed the answer button, but did not speak.
"Okay, President, I am Jiangshan."
On the phone, Jiang Shan's steady voice rang unhurriedly.
"good."
Li Huacheng responded lightly, neither cold nor hot.
Both parties held the phones and were silent for about ten seconds.
Jiang Shan was the first to laugh: "That's right, President, I'm reporting to you this time."
"Work in Northern Xinjiang...is very difficult."
Li Huacheng's eyes were deep and unpredictable: "Did you encounter another unexpected situation?"
Ma Si finally knew who was on the other side of the phone. He raised his head in surprise and glanced at Li Huacheng.
"No."
Jiang Shan chuckled and said: "Northern Xinjiang is relatively stable now. The chaos two days ago put a lot of pressure on everyone. Today I mainly report on this matter. At present, Northern Xinjiang has preliminary statistics on the number of family members of the deceased, and
The first batch of pensions was distributed yesterday, and the second batch of pensions will be distributed today. This money can be guaranteed to be in the hands of every family member. The total amount exceeds 400 billion and will probably be distributed tomorrow afternoon."
More than 400 billion!
Li Huacheng's body shook.
He had expected this amount, but he did not expect Jiangshan to come up with the money so quickly.
It is impossible for the entire northern Xinjiang to have 400 billion now!
Li Huacheng's expression suddenly became serious.
When Jiangshan was dealing with the Northern Xinjiang world, Yinlonghai was in a meeting. Several directors almost watched Jiangshan's handling process, as well as his promises and speeches afterwards.
Two days passed.
Two of the nine directors have already made public comments on the matter.
Chen Fangqing directly evaluated Jiang Shan’s behavior as a thief of the country.
Dongcheng Wudi's words were equally fierce, and he used an evaluation of wolfish ambition.
All of Jiang Shan's actions indicate that he wants to take Northern Xinjiang as his own, and turn Northern Xinjiang, a land of more than one million square kilometers in Central Continent, into the Jiang family's own base and headquarters.
He did so and said so, but after all, he didn't say it clearly.
Jiang Shan is a very mature guy. Without saying anything clearly, this seems to be a little buffer between him and Zhongzhou.
Li Huacheng also tacitly agreed not to issue any orders to Northern Xinjiang. Now it is clear that Zhongzhou is in troubled times. The decisive battle in Beihai is the highlight, but in the final analysis, it is only the beginning. The general election is coming, and all kinds of things are complicated. Everyone
They all plan to wait until after the election to deal with the issue in Northern Xinjiang.
But now, Jiang Shan called directly and talked about the current situation in Northern Xinjiang very frankly.
Li Huacheng was a little confused for a moment.
What is this going to do?
Northern Xinjiang's finances cannot afford more than 400 billion.
But Jiangshan now got the money.
Since all the major financial groups in Zhongzhou are stable and have a normal relationship with the Jiang family, this money can only come from external forces.
Jiang Shan's report can be said to be arrogant and a bit blatant.
Could it be that it had only been two days and he already wanted to have a showdown?
Li Huacheng's serious expression became extremely cold little by little.
Some things have been done and there is still room for buffering.
But if you have a blatant showdown and want to publicize it, you are courting death.
At this moment, Li Huacheng directly made up his mind. If Jiang Shan really thought that he had surrendered to foreign forces and wanted to blatantly say that he wanted to take over Northern Xinjiang, then he would definitely react.
The most violent response at all costs.
This is a bottom line that cannot be violated.
If Jiang Shan dares to touch him, Li Hua will make him die.
"Where does the money come from? Foreign forces? Skull and Bones? Elite clubs? Or the World Financial Federation?"
The three forces he mentioned are all the world's top super conglomerates, and they are also forces with the ambition and courage to plot northern Xinjiang. Behind the elite clubs are the major wealthy families in Europe. The main leaders are the Rothschild family, but then
With Jin Tong and Paul seriously injured, Rothschild's leadership position is also in jeopardy, and the major wealthy families now have other thoughts.
Behind the Skull and Bones Society is the Star Kingdom and the entire America. They are equally strong and supported by the Star Kingdom. In many cases, they are even more domineering than the elite clubs.
The World Financial Alliance is a relatively loose organization, but it also has very special factors. Their headquarters is in Arad, and they have countless energy and money behind them. Although they are loose, they can also unite at certain times.
.
The Elite Club of Europe, the Skull and Bones Society of Star Country, the World Financial Alliance of Arad, plus the Beihai Wang Family and Shengshi Fund in Central Continent, these are almost the five giants in the world's financial world. Their status in the field of wealth is completely equivalent to the darkness.
The world's superpower.
Shengshi Fund wanted to take advantage of Northern Xinjiang, but Li Tianlan was given a head start.
The Wang family in Beihai has no time for him to take care of him now.
Then the answer seems obvious to Li Huacheng, and there are only three organizations left.
Li Huacheng's voice was very soft and indifferent, and did not sound sharp or decisive at all.
But Jiang Shan heard an unparalleled dangerous aura from it.
He is almost certain that if these foreign forces are really behind him, and if he really dares to admit it, then within an hour, he will usher in the most drastic measures in Central Continent.
Li Huacheng has a gentle temperament, but it does not mean that he really has no temper. As the president, it is impossible for him to be indifferent to such acts of stealing the country.
Jiang Shan was thinking in confusion, and the smile in his tone gradually disappeared, becoming serious and solemn.
"President, whether you believe it or not... I can guarantee in the name of parliament and Northern Xinjiang that I have not committed treason."
His voice is clear and powerful, carrying great weight.
"oh?"
Li Huacheng responded noncommittally.
"Come to Northern Xinjiang, President."
Jiang Shan suddenly said: "Come to Northern Xinjiang and take a look. There are no foreign forces here. It is still the territory of Central Continent. The situation here has gradually returned to stability. There is only the Jiang family here. If you still believe me, if the parliament still trusts Northern Xinjiang...
So...let’s take a look.”
Li Huacheng was silent for about two or three seconds, then raised his hand to look at the time, and said calmly: "I will have dinner in Beijiang at noon."
Jiang Shan laughed: "I will go to the airport to greet the president later."
Li Huacheng hung up the phone and squinted his eyes, thoughtfully.
"president..."
Ma Si, who looked a little ugly, hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but said: "I don't recommend going to Northern Xinjiang."
Li Huacheng came back from his thoughts, glanced at Ma Si, and asked, "Why?"
"The current position of the Jiang family is unclear. Jiangshan... is too hidden and sophisticated. In fact, we don't have enough understanding of the Jiang family and Jiangshan. If he really defected to foreign forces, if you go to Northern Xinjiang, maybe
If you encounter some unexpected special situations, you may be in danger."
Ma Si spoke quickly: "Of course, I understand your mood. You are worried about the situation in northern Xinjiang. I can go there on behalf of the president to see the situation there and report to you as soon as possible."
"Why bother?"
Li Huacheng shook his head and stood up: "Go with me."
"I am the president of Central Continent, and Northern Xinjiang is the Northern Xinjiang of Central Continent. In our own country, I can go wherever I want."
His voice was low and calm, as if carrying great majesty: "Jiangshan dares to invite me to come, then I will go. I must go!"
...
As I gradually awakened from the deepest level of meditation, the cry of the baby beside my ears gradually became clearer.
She opened her eyes.
There was a soft and faint light in his sight, and a still graceful and even beautiful figure was leaning on the other side of the bed in pajamas, holding a baby and carefully comforting it.
Her vision was a little dazed, and the bright electric light flickered slightly in her pupils. After about half a minute, she came back to her senses, turned around subconsciously, and whispered softly: "Mom, I'll do it, Tutu, mom
It’s coming.”
The baby who was less than two years old had been weaned. She took the baby and kissed him gently on the face. It seemed that he felt the mother's breath. The crying baby became quiet and grabbed the mother's arm with his little hand.
, humming softly, and slowly fell asleep again.
She waited for a while, carefully placed the child on the bed, and smiled apologetically at the woman next to her: "Tutu usually sleeps very well, I thought he wouldn't wake up."
"Don't you have to work so hard?"
Xia Zhi looked at her helplessly. In the faint light, her eyebrows were extremely soft.
Song Ci gently stroked his son's sleeping face, his eyes gentle but firm.
This is her son.
Her son with Wang Shengxiao.
The name Haotian was given by Wang Shengxiao.
The nickname Tutu was taken from Song poetry.
In the two years since she left Beihai, from the time the child was conceived to the time she was born, the little guy in front of her seemed to have become her entire sustenance.
In silence, Song Ci pursed his lips and said softly: "I can feel that I am very close to a breakthrough."
"I know it all, but I can feel that I am very close to a breakthrough."
Xia Zhi reached out and touched Song Ci's hair, and said softly: "But in fact, we are still far away from a real breakthrough."
Song Ci's expression remained unchanged and he said softly: "That's why we have to work harder."
Her martial arts talent is extremely outstanding even in Beihai.
His outstanding talent allows him to avoid any bottlenecks and obstacles before entering the Thunder Realm.
But if the invincible realm is so easy to break through, how can this realm be worthy of the word invincible?
Song Ci was already at the peak of the Thunder Realm two years ago. Pregnancy and childbirth may make her haggard, but it will not make her condition decline. She has been at the peak of the Thunder Realm for several years, but she has not been able to find a breakthrough no matter what.
The threshold of the Thunder Realm entering the half-step invincible realm was just like what Song Ci said. He could feel that the breakthrough was very close, but he still had no clue.
The peak of thunder realm...
Such a state is naturally useful in the situation Beihai is facing today, but it can also be said that it has little effect.
"Ah, don't think too much..."
Xia Zhi sighed softly: "I am experienced in martial arts. Sometimes letting nature take its course is more effective than rushing for success. I am a little tired during this period. Take a rest and let yourself relax completely. It may be easier to break through."
Song Ci lowered his head, looked at his son, and was silent for a long time.
"mom..."
She gave a very natural cry and whispered: "I miss home, I miss him, and I want to help him..."
Her head seemed to be lowered, and she said in a weak voice: "Isn't it dangerous if he stays in Imperial Army Mountain?"
"Don't think wildly. Our alliance with the Eastern Palace is very stable at this stage. Li Tianlan is very strong now, and we are not weak. There will be no danger in joining forces with the Eastern Palace."
Xia Zhi laughed.
Strictly speaking, the location they are currently in does not belong to any country, but is a private island in the Pacific Ocean. It is the secret property of the Wang family in Beihai. The island is not big, but the facilities are relatively complete. In addition to hundreds of servants with different responsibilities,
Apart from people and support staff, there were only Xia Zhi, Tang Shi, Song Ci, Haotian who was just born, and the different important figures of the Beihai Wang family were all placed in different areas. In just over two years, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were all placed in different areas.
Nothing has changed in the past. Xia Zhi spends most of his time recuperating his body. Tang Shi still controls the Wang family's business empire in Beihai, commanding by remote control. There are endless things to deal with every day. Song Ci is raising the fetus and raising the child.
Perhaps because she had been away from Beihai for too long, Song Ci, who gave birth to her child, began to suffer from frequent insomnia and became more and more anxious. It was naturally impossible for her to suffer from postpartum depression due to her will, but
The fluctuation of her mood had a considerable impact on her, so she began to meditate and practice swordsmanship for a long time. Xia Zhi lived with Song Ci in order to take care of her grandson, and at the same time taught Song Ci martial arts.
The two of them made an agreement not long ago after the child was weaned. If the deadlock continues, then Song Ci can leave here and return to Wang Shengxiao to help him after he breaks through the peak of the Thunder Realm and becomes a master of the Half-Step Invincible Realm.
only...
Xia Zhi glanced at Song Ci with a somewhat complicated expression.
"It'll be okay."
She said softly: "In order to concentrate, I haven't told anything about the outside world. The current situation is actually very good. Shengxiao is very well prepared. If there are no accidents, we should be able to return to Beihai soon."
"Really?"
Song Ci raised his head and looked at Xia Zhi blankly.
Now that she is a woman and a mother, her appearance is still beautiful and delicate, but there is a hint of fatigue and haggard that cannot be concealed.
"when
But it’s true.”
Xia Zhi held Song Ci's hand and smiled softly: "Beihai can't lose, or to put it more bluntly, when those people set the final battlefield in Beihai Province, they can't win and retreat ten thousand.
Bu said, even if Li Tianlan and Donghuang Palace don't participate in the decisive battle this time, nothing will happen to Shengxiao and nothing will happen to Beihai. So, don't worry."
Song Ci nodded vigorously, looked at Xia Zhi, and said seriously: "I believe it."
Her face and eyes looked pure and flawless in the dim light, with a piety that was touching.
Xia Zhi laughed.
At this moment, she suddenly thought of the time she was at Imperial Arms Mountain.
Thinking of the night when her injuries suddenly fully recovered.
I thought of the world-shattering sword that split open the sky over the North Sea and the entire Imperial Arms Mountain.
That genius who should not appear in this era.
Invincible in the world.
That’s true dominion over the world!
On that day.
The moment he stood on the Imperial Soldier Mountain, he called out the names of Song Ci and Haotian.
From that moment on, she knew that in another era, or in the story once told by Lin Fengting and Qin Weibai, the ending of the Beihai Wang family.
Because the man who called himself Li Dongcheng did not call him Wang Tianzong, Wang Shengxiao, or Xia Zhi.
They may have died long ago.
When most people have died, only Song Ci and the still-growing Haotian can support the Beihai Wang family.
The talent of Song Ci is very good, but in fact it has its limits.
Based on Xia Zhi's judgment of her, she might be able to barely break through and enter the invincible realm, but she basically doesn't have the potential to reach the peak invincible realm.
How can she fight against Li Dongcheng and the sword dynasty that doesn't exist yet in that story?
There seems to be only one answer.
Fusion with Wuyou, turning himself into a half-human, half-metal monster.
Xia Zhi couldn't imagine what kind of despair and madness it was.
But after knowing the possible outcome, she looked at the daughter-in-law who gave birth to the eldest son and grandson of the Beihai Wang family in front of her, and she felt love and care from the bottom of her heart.
At least in this era, she will try her best to change the tragic and cold ending.
"us..."
Song Ci hesitated.
Her voice was cautious: "How long will it take for us to return to Beihai?"
This was a question she had always wanted to ask but never really asked.
The place where she thinks about day and night is the person who worries her.
After being gone for so long, my thoughts are already overwhelming.
Xia Zhi looked at her with a smile and said softly: "It won't be more than a month at the latest."
...
When the morning light came on, Beihai Shengzhou once again ushered in a heavy snowfall.
The pure white snow fell from the sky one after another, silently, and the entire Imperial Army Mountain quickly turned silvery white.
Wang Shengxiao stood quietly on the platform, looking at the still slowly turbulent Beihai in the distance.
There is no more sword light and sword energy in the depths of the North Sea.
The wind is calm and the waves are calm, and snow falls on the sky and the earth.
He was wearing a coat and holding a thermos cup in his hand. He unscrewed the lid and took a sip of tea. Wang Shengxiao laughed and said, "The weather is nice."
Xuan Ming stood next to Wang Shengxiao and smiled, and whispered: "This year's average temperature in the North Sea is 1.5 degrees Celsius lower than in previous years. It is still a bit cold."
"I like this weather."
Wang Shengxiao nodded and said slowly: "It can make people more awake."
Xuan Ming's smile did not change and he did not speak.
"Any results?"
Wang Shengxiao suddenly asked.
The mysterious strong man's challenge to Donghuang is still unfolding, and the entire dark world has completely boiled overnight. Beihai has already exchanged a lot of information with Donghuang Palace as soon as he learned the news, trying to lock the identity of the other party.
, this task now naturally falls on Xuan Ming.
"No."
Xuan Ming was a little helpless: "There are too few masters at this level, whether now or in the past, there are only a few here. Lin Fengting and Li Kuangtu can be excluded. The former cannot challenge Li Tianlan, and the latter
Their character would not do such a thing. Moreover, they practiced swordsmanship. There is sufficient evidence to show that the mysterious strong man who challenged Li Tianlan mainly practiced in the field. Neither Lin Fengting nor Li Kuangtu
conform to."
"field..."
Wang Shengxiao narrowed his eyes and murmured to himself.
Xuan Ming's expression became even more helpless.
For hundreds of years, the Dark World has always had a sense of dominance in swordsmanship. Although the realm is also a path to martial arts and can directly enter the invincible realm, within hundreds of years, the true peak of martial arts in the Dark World has been
It has always been kendo.
Masters who have entered the invincible realm in the research field have been emerging in endlessly, but there are very few who can truly reach the peak invincible realm. And shortening the time range, in the past fifty years, the peak invincible realm masters in kendo include the Beihai Wang family
There are two clan heads before and after, there are two clan heads before and after the Lin clan, there are Li Honghe and Li Kuangtu of the Li family, there is Li Xi...
Each of these names represents the pinnacle of invincibility, and they are all martial arts giants in the field of swordsmanship.
And there seems to be only one master who has truly reached the peak of invincibility in the field in the past hundred years.
Aresis, the holy war angel who has fallen into the hands of Zed.
But Aresis is not an absolute powerhouse at the peak level of invincibility. Even when Wang Tianzong did not break through to the peak invincibility level, Aresis in the coronated state was still worse than Wang Tianzong.
At best, they are only close to the peak invincibility.
Before the invincible realm, there was no advantage or disadvantage between swordsmanship and the realm, but after the invincibility realm, it is almost an irrefutable fact that the swordsmanship is superior to the realm.
But now, a mysterious strong man suddenly appeared, who directly broke through the peak invincibility in the field, and dared to challenge Li Tianlan, who was vaguely the number one master in the dark world.
When the major forces received the news, they all felt as if their views had been shattered. After being shocked and stunned, confusion followed.
Because such people seem to appear out of thin air.
As far as everyone knows, there is currently no master who can reach the pinnacle of invincibility in the field.
Then where did this master who had surpassed the peak invincibility realm come from?
"No clues at all?"
Wang Shengxiao asked.
"No."
Xuan Ming smiled bitterly: "In our intelligence, such a person should not exist at all. The only scientific explanation at present is that he has been secretly increasing his strength, and even reached the peak invincibility without exposing himself.
He waited until he broke through the peak invincibility and approached the supreme realm before he started to join the world. This is the only explanation, but it is also..."
He hesitated.
"But it's also the most ridiculous explanation."
Wang Shengxiao added with a smile.
Xuan Ming smiled bitterly and nodded: "That's true. If there is such a person, I can't imagine how wretched he would be. He wouldn't even dare to enter the world at the peak of invincibility. How can such a person break through to the peak of invincibility?"
Wang Shengxiao looked at the sea in the distance in silence and said nothing.
Xuan Ming hesitated for a moment and stopped talking.
"Just say what you want to say, and it doesn't matter if you say it wrong."
Wang Shengxiao said calmly.
"I think..."
Xuan Ming frowned, hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "When exchanging information with the East Palace, the one who contacted me from the East Palace was the military advisor..."
His tone was hesitant: "I feel like the military advisor knew something, but he didn't say anything. Of course, this is just my intuition without any evidence."
Wang Shengxiao drank water again, and after a long time, he said in a low voice: "It's understandable."
"At least on this matter, if the military advisor really knew something but didn't tell us, it means they were not honest enough with us."
Xuan Ming said softly.
"There's no need to dwell on this."
Wang Shengxiao coughed and laughed: "We also have some things we haven't told the East Palace. Cooperation is just cooperation. And it is foreseeable that after the decisive battle, the situation in Central Continent will have a new balance, and our cooperation with the East Palace will also
When it ends at that time, we may become rivals competing for interests, and it is normal for them to have reservations about us."
"But I don't understand something..."
Xuan Ming said with some confusion: "That is the enemy of Donghuang Palace. At least we are still cooperating now. Why should Donghuang Palace conceal the enemy's information from us as collaborators? This makes no sense. If I am a military advisor, if I
Whatever I know, I will definitely not hold back in this regard, but will rely on the strength of my allies."
"Maybe..."
Wang Shengxiao's smile was a little strange: "Maybe he thinks that Beihai is no longer capable of participating in this kind of thing, or..."
Xuan Ming lowered his head and said nothing.
"It's clear, isn't it?"
Wang Shengxiao said quietly.
Xuan Ming's face suddenly turned ugly.
The challenger is the enemy of the Eastern Palace.
Beihai belongs to the East Palace.
What did the military advisor know, but he concealed the information about his enemy from Beihai.
This is certainly not the way to protect one's enemies.
Then there is only one most likely explanation.
The opponent is not only the enemy of the Eastern Palace, but also the enemy of the Beihai Wang family.
Concealing each other's information may become an intelligence advantage for Donghuang Palace and Beihai after the cooperation ends.
Even further, the East Palace hopes to conceal this person's information so that he can cause enough trouble to Beihai in the decisive battle of Beihai.
It's clear to everyone.
The reason why Li Tianlan participated in the decisive battle of Beihai was not because he had any favorable impression of Beihai, but because two organizations with highly similar structures instinctively joined forces after encountering difficulties. It is impossible for Donghuang Palace to not understand the reason why they are so bitter.
What's more, the outcome of the decisive battle in Beihai is directly related to the future layout of the Eastern Palace.
From this point of view, if I want to be more straightforward.
That is, in the decisive battle, Li Tianlan hopes that he can win.
As for how much damage Beihai will suffer, that is not his concern at all, as long as Beihai still exists afterwards.
"Eastern Palace..."
Xuan Ming gritted his teeth: "His heart is so cruel..."
"We are allies and rivals."
Wang Shengxiao's tone was calm and a little cold.
"Then let's..."
Xuan Ming glanced at Wang Shengxiao.
"fine."
Wang Shengxiao laughed: "Continue the investigation. If you can find out, it is naturally the best. If you can't find out, it doesn't matter. I will wait for them on the Imperial Army Mountain. Beihai, which has a history of hundreds of years, has proven one thing with countless facts.
Thing: No matter what situation we are in, no matter what we encounter, Beihai cannot be afraid of any enemy."
Xuan Ming was speechless.
"I rang a word..."
Wang Shengxiao's voice was dazed: "It's a famous saying of my great-grandfather."
Xuan Ming was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized.
Wang Shengxiao's great-grandfather was the grandfather of Sword Emperor Wang Tianzong, the patriarch before Wang Shengxiao, before Wang Tianzong, and before the old Beihai clan leader.
That was the number one person on the list of gods in the dark world at that time.
He is also the most famous tyrant among the past patriarchs of Beihai.
During his peak period, he once stood on the heroic stage and said a famous saying that is still circulated in the dark world.
"I am standing here. Wherever I look, anyone who refuses to surrender will be destroyed."
Wang Shengxiao murmured to himself and said softly: "If you leave Beihai for a long time...will you miss this place?"
Xuan Ming seemed to be still immersed in those words. He was stunned for a moment and said softly: "Yes."
His voice was very soft, but extremely firm.
"I think all of us will."
Wang Shengxiao laughed: "I miss the bright moon in Beihai and the wind and snow in Shengzhou."
His voice sounded slightly like he was talking in his sleep: "Xuan Ming..."
He asked slowly: "Have you ever seen the breath of the sea?"
