Xiao Shen smiled and said: "This is not the first time you and I have dealt with each other, so I won't hide it.
Let me first make it clear that although my eldest brother is the prince, I cannot deny that I have never given up my mind for a higher position.
Regarding this, does Sect Master Ling think I am too ambitious?"
"I do know that there is a slang saying, 'A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier.'"
Ling Yun was not surprised and said calmly: "In my opinion, the prince who doesn't want to be the emperor is probably not because he has no ambition, but because he only knows that he is too mediocre."
"Hahaha, the one who knows me is Sect Master Ling."
Xiao Shen immediately felt relieved and spoke more calmly, "Well, now I want to replace my eldest brother, the prince, and I'm afraid you don't want to be threatened and oppressed by him. I'm afraid you don't want to be threatened and oppressed by him. Is there a basis for cooperation between us?"
"How does Your Highness want to cooperate with me?"
Ling Yun said.
"Sect Master Ling, I'm not being alarmist, but telling the truth. Your current situation is actually very dangerous."
Xiao Shen looked solemn and said, "Although you lost the prince's face before, you did not actually touch his real interests.
However, this time, the situation is completely different. Sect Leader Ling, you control the Golden Crow Ancient Sect and refuse to hand it over, which is tantamount to violating his core interests.
Based on what I know about him, I'm afraid he won't use such ordinary methods to deal with you in the future, but will most likely use the most powerful force against you directly."
Ling Yun was thoughtful.
Xiao Ning could no longer calm down and said solemnly: "Your Highness, Fourth Highness, do you think that the crown prince will directly let the top powerful people in the palace take action?"
"Princess Changning, I believe you also know that the person in the palace is both a teacher and a servant to the prince."
Xiao Shen said.
Xiao Ning's expression became more solemn.
"The one in the palace?"
Ye Jianlu was puzzled, "Your Royal Highness, Princess Changning, who are you talking about?"
"The top master in the imperial court, the prince's martial arts master, and a first-class imperial bodyguard, Gu Qingfeng."
Xiao Shen said.
"It's him?"
Yao Guang was shocked, "Before I was expelled, Gu Qingfeng was one of the most terrifying beings in the palace. His cultivation level was only one level lower than mine. How far has his cultivation level reached now?"
Hearing Yao Guang's words, people like Ye Jianlu and Wei Haitang who knew nothing about Gu Qingfeng before were also shocked.
You know, when Yao Guang was expelled, it was three hundred years ago.
At that time, Yao Guang's cultivation level had not yet declined, and he was still in the Eight Transformations of Youying.
This means that Gu Qingfeng three hundred years ago was the powerful Youying Seven Transformations.
During these three hundred years, Yao Guang was imprisoned in the Forbidden Abyss, and his cultivation was not progressing but retreating.
Gu Qingfeng was different, he was always in the palace.
If you think about it, you will know that there is definitely no shortage of cultivation resources in a place like the palace.
Xiao Shen said in a solemn tone: "As far as I know, Gu Qingfeng was the Nine Transformations of Youying a hundred years ago. Now he rarely takes action. I guess he may have broken through the realm of Youying."
Above the ethereal light, there is a candle illuminating it.
That is undoubtedly another level.
At this time, Ling Yun couldn't help but frown.
Relying on the Golden Crow Formation and the Eight Dragons Killing Formation he set up, he didn't care even if the Nine-Transformation Youying powerhouse came.
But for the powerful Youying, this is really beyond what he can currently handle.
Undoubtedly, if the prince really lets Gu Qingfeng take action, it will definitely be a huge trouble for him.
But by this time, Ling Yun also guessed what cooperation Xiao Shen was talking about.
"Your Royal Highness, what level is the strongest master you can call upon?"
Ling Yun asked.
"Half-step candlelight."
Xiao Shen said: "I also have a martial arts teacher, but his strength is much inferior to that of Gu Qingfeng, so if I want to intercept Gu Qingfeng, I need your cooperation, Ling Yun."
"How can I cooperate?"
"If you can officially join Piao Miao Mountain, I think Piao Miao Mountain will definitely send out the Nine Transformations of Youying for you, even someone as strong as Gu Qingfeng."
Xiao Shen stared at Ling Yun and said.
This suggestion made Ling Yun silent for a while.
Ling Yun knew very well that being a guest elder of Piao Miao Mountain and officially joining Piao Miao Mountain were two different concepts.
If he officially joins Piaomiao Mountain, he will become the elder of Piaomiao Mountain and will be completely tied to Piaomiao Mountain and Xiao Shen.
Xiao Shen didn't say anything more, just waiting quietly for Ling Yun to make a decision.
An outstanding person like Ling Yun cannot be forced by any means, otherwise it will be counterproductive.
Therefore, his words were just a suggestion to Ling Yun.
As for the final choice, Ling Yun needs to make his own decision.
"Your Royal Highness, Prince Taikang's Palace can also produce a half-step candlelight expert."
At this moment, Xiao Ning suddenly spoke.
She saw Ling Yun's dilemma and didn't want Ling Yun to make a decision under external pressure.
Xiao Shen was slightly startled: "Princess Changning, are you telling the truth?"
In Prince Taikang's Mansion, is there still a half-step candlelight expert?
He knew that the most powerful master in Taikang Prince's Palace was Taikang Prince Xiao Cheng.
Xiao Cheng is the real person of Nine Transformations Youying, and his combat power is half a Zhuzhao level.
But Xiao Cheng has been severely injured, and in his opinion it is impossible to take action.
What Xiao Ning said now undoubtedly surprised him.
"The interception of Gu Qingfeng cannot be ignored at all. How could I possibly joke about such a thing?"
Xiao Ning said.
Xiao Shen still has a lot of trust in Xiao Ning. Knowing what she said, it shows that Prince Taikang's palace can really send out half-step candles to illuminate the strong men.
This made him feel a little disappointed.
As a result, the chances of Ling Yun officially joining Piao Miao Mountain will undoubtedly be greatly reduced.
However, Xiao Shen was not too depressed.
This time it was not without gain, at least he and Ling Yun had already started a cooperation.
With the foundation of this cooperation, this is a good start.
"That's fine."
Xiao Shen suddenly smiled.
Ling Yun admired his attitude even more.
It's not that Ling Yun doesn't want to join Piaomiao Mountain, it's that he doesn't want to be in this situation.
He is not very strong now.
What's more, if he joins Piaomiao Mountain now, it is tantamount to asking for help from Piaomiao Mountain.
If he joins Piaomiao Mountain under such circumstances, he will undoubtedly be in a weak position, which is not conducive to him gaining the initiative.
Therefore, this is something Ling Yun extremely rejects.
Even if he wants to join Piaomiao, he has to take the initiative.
As for Taikang Prince's Mansion.
Ling Yun also understood.
The half-step Zhuzhao master that Xiao Ning was talking about was undoubtedly Taikang King Xiao Cheng.
Everyone else thought that Xiao Cheng was still seriously injured.
However, Ling Yun knew very well that Xiao Cheng had recovered, and it was probably a blessing in disguise that his cultivation had further improved.
After all, Xiao Cheng's injury was healed by him himself.
When Xiao Cheng was asked to take action, he did not owe any favors. He would just treat Xiao Cheng as paying the medical fees.
The next day.
A swordsman in blue shirt came out of Ouchi Palace and headed south.
The world was shocked.
Because this blue-shirted swordsman has been famous all over the world for hundreds of years.
He is none other than the top master in Ouchi and the martial arts teacher of the current prince, Gu Qingfeng!
