When Meng Xiuyuan returned to Luoyang City, it happened to be noon.
The streets are bustling with people, the restaurants and bars on the roadside are doing brisk business, and the shouts of waiters can be heard from time to time.
While walking among them, Meng Xiuyuan's mind drifted away involuntarily, thinking of the innocent people he saw along the way who were affected by the war, of those evildoers from the Demon Sect who deliberately brought trouble to the world for their own selfish desires, and of the Jing Nian Temple.
Thousands of luxurious palaces.
Meng Xiuyuan, who had always had a pure mind, could not help but think a little more at this time.
At this moment, a slightly familiar voice suddenly sounded from behind him:
"Mr. Meng, is it you..."
Meng Xiuyuan looked for a sound and turned his head, only to see a pretty girl in the crowd looking at him with surprise and hesitation in her eyes.
Looking closely, it was the "Princess Dongming" Shan Wanjing who was saved by Meng Xiuyuan when he killed Bian Buhua in Pengcheng.
"Oh, single girl?"
Meng Xiuyuan was a little surprised. He felt that the He clan's jade was really touching people's hearts. It even attracted the Dongming sect, who had shunned overseas and was not involved in the disputes in the Central Plains.
Shan Wanjing's mind was quick, and she seemed to have seen Meng Xiuyuan's thoughts. She immediately took two steps forward and explained to Meng Xiuyuan in a low voice:
"Mr. Meng, Wanjing has been looking for you everywhere these days, but she is always a step too late.
We, the Dongming sent here, came to Luoyang just to hear the news about the young master from Li Clan and wanted to take the opportunity to meet the young master..."
Meng Xiuyuan was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that this Dongming sect was actually coming towards him, and he subconsciously asked:
"What does the girl want from me? But there are demons harassing your sect. Do you need my help?"
During this period of time, he had been doing things like this to help people in emergencies, so hearing that Shan Wanjing was so anxious to find him, she couldn't help but speculate in this regard.
Shan Wanjing smiled playfully when she heard this, shook her head, and said seriously to Meng Xiuyuan:
"Master Meng has already shown great kindness to me, the Dongming Sect, so how can we have the nerve to bother him anymore.
Don’t worry, young master, I’m not trying to cause you any more trouble this time, but I just want to repay your kindness..."
Having said this, Shan Wanjing looked around sharply, then lowered her voice even more and said:
"I have important information. This is not a good place to talk. Please come with me, sir."
Meng Xiuyuan heard Princess Dongming's tone, but it was hard to refuse, so he had no choice but to nod and follow her.
…
On the bank of the Luo River, in an exquisite and luxurious boat, the two of them sat at a table together.
Shan Wanjing filled up the tea for Meng Xiuyuan with her own hands and served the cakes. Then she didn't mince words and got straight to the point:
"Mr. Meng, you must be more careful recently.
We have received news that due to what you did at Pegasus Ranch last time, the Yingui Sect has listed you as the second most powerful enemy after Cihang Jingzhai.
You killed the three elders of the Yingui sect, Bian Buhui, Yun and Xia, and also took away two of the Yingui sect's treasures to suppress the sect. This is already a major event that makes the Yingui sect hold a grudge.
More importantly, you almost killed the next generation descendant of the Yin Gui sect who had placed unlimited hope, which made the Yin Queen Zhu Yuyan furious.
If our information is correct, Zhu Yuyan may have already arrived in Luoyang City in person with a group of masters from the sect..."
Meng Xiuyuan frowned slightly when he heard this, and he felt a little suspicious. He immediately asked Shan Wanjing bluntly:
"I wonder where Miss Shan got the news, and why she knows so much about the Yingui Sect's actions?"
Shan Wanjing seemed to have guessed that Meng Xiuyuan would ask this question. Faced with this question, she acted very indifferently. After a moment of silence, she quietly replied:
"Mr. Meng is a great benefactor to me and my mother, so although some things are secret, since the young master asked, there is nothing that cannot be said.
To be honest, young master, just based on blood, I should call the Yin queen my grandmother..."
Meng Xiuyuan was shocked. He didn't expect that there was such a relationship. Just as he was about to ask again, Shan Wanjing took the initiative to explain:
"My mother was bullied by that beast Bian Fulai. When Queen Yin learned about it, she actually ignored her for the sake of the stability of the Yingui sect.
In anger, my mother traveled to Ryukyu, founded the Dongming Sect, and never had any contact with the Yingui Sect.
But secretly, she can still know some internal information of the Yingui Sect."
When Meng Xiuyuan heard this, he suddenly realized that this was what happened.
He couldn't help but marvel in his heart, Zhu Yuyan was indeed a demon queen who had no regard for human ethics. She didn't even care about her own daughter being tainted. No wonder she could do such cruel things as colluding with barbarians and deliberately causing trouble for the people of the world.
thing.
But after all, this matter related to the pain points of Shan Meixian, Shan Wanjing and her daughter. Meng Xiuyuan didn't want to talk about it anymore, so he had to change the topic immediately:
"Miss Shan, does she know how many people came to the Demon Sect this time?"
If the situation is right, Meng Xiuyuan is not willing to fight a decisive battle with the Yingui faction here, so he still wants to know himself and the enemy.
"This is exactly what I want to say to Master Meng. There are many magic sect masters in Luoyang City at the moment. Master, you must not let them run into you. It is best to leave as soon as possible..."
At this point, Shan Wanjing secretly observed Meng Xiuyuan's expression, and saw that his face was calm as if he had not heard what she said. She could only explain to Meng Xiuyuan quickly based on the details she knew:
"You must know that the top priority of the Yingui Sect for thousands of years is to defeat the old enemy Cihang Jingzhai.
Today's battle with Shibi is an important move for the Demon Sect to secretly manipulate the warlords to seize the world and compete with Cihang Jingzhai.
If Cihang Jingzhai can successfully choose the Ming Master and build momentum from this, it may be difficult for the Demon Sect to come back from this competition.
Therefore, more than half of the masters of the Yingui Sect were present this time. A quick calculation showed that there should be no less than ten innate warriors.
What's more important is that the demon sect forces have taken root in Luoyang city. The demon sect Bichen, who ranks sixth among the 'eight masters of the demon sect', is the incarnation of the great businessman Rong Fengxiang. He has been operating in the local area for many years and has almost complete control over Luoyang.
Business.
This Bichen has a very close relationship with the Yin Gui sect. If Queen Yin takes action against the young master, he will never stand idly by.
Coupled with the recent breakthrough in Wuhan's martial arts, if Mr. Meng really faces off against the Demon Sect, I'm afraid he will have to deal with at least three martial arts masters at the same time..."
After hearing Shan Wanjing's remarks, Meng Xiuyuan was silent for a long time, his expression serious.
Of course, it's not that Meng Xiuyuan is afraid of these so-called masters of the Yingui Sect. Since he dares to come to Luoyang, he is not afraid of the siege of these demons.
What really made Meng Xiuyuan feel irritated was hearing that the Yingui Sect, Cihang Jingzhai and other high-ranking "hermit masters" actually seemed to treat everyone in the world as a chess piece to fight for the victory or defeat between them.
Meng Xiuyuan had always vaguely understood this meaning, but it was only when Shan Wanjing said it today that he was truly touched by it.
After a while, Meng Xiuyuan suddenly stood up and said goodbye to Shan Wanjing.
"Thank you, Miss Shan, for reminding me. I'll take my leave."
Seeing Meng Xiuyuan acting like this, Shan Wanjing thought that he had finally listened to her advice, so she quickly asked:
"Mr. Meng, if you want to leave the city, I can make arrangements for you.
At this moment, both inside and outside Luoyang City are controlled by the Demon Sect. If you act on your own, you may not be able to escape their pursuit..."
Meng Xiuyuan shook his head when he heard this, and said solemnly to Shan Wanjing:
"No need, Miss Shan, I appreciate your kindness.
Then Zhu Yuyan took the initiative to come to me, which is what I asked for.
I just wanted to see what confidence the Yingui sect had to dare to act like this.
The world is a chess piece, and all living beings are pawns... Are these people who hide their heads and show their tails worthy of it?"
Today it feels like my brain has been wrapped in a plastic bag, tightly wrapped, and there is no connection at all.
I sat in front of the computer for several hours, deleting, editing, and editing back and forth, and I ended up with such a crappy thing. I’m really sorry.
I don’t know if it’s a sequelae of this time. I’ll try my best to adjust and write more tomorrow.
