"In the Tianmen Club, Qian'er and Sister Qin finally took the same trial road as Brother Liu, and they were accompanied by Long Xuan. How strong Brother Liu was, we both witnessed it with our own eyes, especially when we faced each other in the end.
Most of the alien monsters that suddenly appeared were killed by Brother Liu, which can be said to be the greatest contribution. As for Long Xuan, it seemed that he had been trapped for a long time, and finally it was the messenger from the Heavenly Palace who rescued him." Ouyang Qian said to Ouyang who was standing aside.
Qin winked, signaling her not to contradict her again, and then she spoke.
The middle-aged man in purple robe heard this and was about to retort, but the elegant man stopped him with his hand and said with a half-smile:
"One of Elder Xin and Qian'er recommended Long Xuan, and the other recommended Senior Nephew Liu to complete the task for our clan. Each has their own reasons, and I am quite embarrassed. Well, why not let Senior Nephew Liu and Senior Nephew Long
There is a public competition between people, and whoever wins will get the right to use the exquisite and exquisite wall. This is the most fair. After all, the external force we need to rely on for our matter is naturally stronger and more certain.?"
Sister Ouyang Qian was overjoyed when she heard this, and turned to look at Liu Ming, with a lot of wonder in her eyes.
"Since the head of the Ouyang family has said so, I naturally have no objection." Liu Ming thought for a moment and then agreed.
It was not unexpected that the matter would develop to this point.
Although I heard from Ouyang Qian that Long Xuan has mastered a powerful secret technique, with Liu Ming's current strength, if he attacks with all his strength, even middle- and late-stage True Pill cultivators can win in a single fight, not to mention the crystal transformation stage.
.
"Master, it's inappropriate to do this. After all, the previous decision was made by the Council of Elders." Ouyang Xin's face suddenly turned ugly, and he turned around and bowed to the elegant man.
"Elder Xin, although the Council of Elders has a lot of power, according to the rules of the clan, the head of the family also has the right to question it. Besides, the decision to cooperate with Moxuan Sect was made last time. It seems that it happened to be done when I was not in the clan. I have made up my mind.
You don't need to say any more. If any elder is still dissatisfied, just come to me. And the time for the competition is set for tomorrow." Hearing this, the elegant man replied with a hehe.
"I don't dare! Since the head of the family has already made a decision, I will inform Long Xuan. I hope that Senior Nephew Liu will not disappoint anyone then, and I will resign first." Ouyang Xin's expression changed a few times.
Finally, he finally agreed with a smile on his face, then gave the elegant man a fist and strode out.
"Master Nephew Liu, please don't be offended, Elder Xin has this temper." The elegant man nodded slightly to Liu Ming, seemingly helpless and said.
"No, it's because this junior came here a little abruptly." Liu Ming said with a noncommittal smile. There was nothing unusual on his face.
"Qian'er, please take Master Nephew Liu down to rest. Don't neglect it. At noon tomorrow, take him to Xuanyuan Terrace for a competition." The elegant man looked at Liu Ming deeply, then turned to Ouyang Qian and ordered him.
There was a sound.
"Don't worry, Master, Qian'er and Brother Liu are old acquaintances, and they will definitely make arrangements." Ouyang Qian hurriedly stepped forward with a smile on her face and agreed.
Liu Ming also bowed to the elegant man and left the hall accompanied by Ouyang sisters.
After everyone left, the hall fell into silence.
The elegant man sat on the main seat. He stroked the back of the chair with one hand and his eyes flashed, seeming to be thinking about something.
At this moment, a figure appeared silently, but another man in purple robe suddenly appeared next to the elegant man.
This man's chin and cheeks are covered with thick black beard, and he is wearing the same robe as Ouyang Xin. Judging from his attire, he must be an elder of the Ouyang family.
The head of the Ouyang family did not show any surprise at the appearance of this bearded man. He just nodded slightly:
"Did you hear the conversation just now?"
"Thank you so much, Master!" The man with a beard bowed and said a word without beginning or end, his voice was like a bell.
"It's just a use of the exquisite and exquisite wall. Elder Ying doesn't need to take it to heart. However, it is not good to let people from outside the clan use the sacred objects of the clan. It will easily arouse criticism within the clan. This matter cannot happen again." Ouyang
The head of the house waved his hand calmly.
"I understand!" The bearded man's face changed slightly and he replied respectfully. His voice couldn't help but become a little lower.
"What do you think of this Liu Ming? After all, Long Xuan is also a leading disciple of the Moxuan Sect, and his strength cannot be underestimated." The head of the Ouyang family slowed down and asked with a change of tone.
"Although I have never seen Long Xuan, Liu Ming just took over the 'Soul-killing Thorn' that Elder Xin had cultivated to great perfection just now outside the palace. Not to mention other aspects, he has definitely reached the level in terms of mental strength alone.
With the level of the True Alchemy cultivator, it seems that Yin Jiuling has taken on a good disciple." The man with the Qiu beard said with admiration.
"So, the competition between the two is quite interesting. Then everything will be decided by the result of You's competition. After all, family interests are involved. In the final analysis, it is always better to be stronger. Elder Ying understands what I mean.
?" said the head of the Ouyang family, looking at the bearded man in front of him again.
"I understand, everything is decided by the head of the family." The man with a beard raised his hands and said.
The head of the Ouyang family nodded and became silent again.
"By the way, head of the family, is that little girl named Sha... really a descendant of Ouyang Ming?" But the man with the beard's eyes flashed, and he suddenly asked about another matter.
"Looking at his appearance and demeanor, he has a bit of the charm of Ouyang Ming back then. I guess he must be a blood relative left by him." The elegant man's eyes suddenly sank, and he replied after a long while.
"It's such a pity. With Ouyang Ming's qualifications, if that incident hadn't happened back then, right now..." the man with the beard said with a rather regretful tone.
"Regarding Ouyang Ming, the Council of Elders has already made a decision, so it's better not to discuss it rashly." The head of the Ouyang family sighed and reached out to interrupt the man with the beard.
"Yes!" the bearded man responded in a low voice.
…
On the other side, Liu Ming, accompanied by the two sisters Ouyang Qian, returned to the Yingbin Pavilion. After saying goodbye to the two girls, he walked directly into the quiet room.
Seeing his solemn expression, Ye Hao wisely did not disturb him. He sat obediently on the bed and silently recited a few mantras, which were the most basic breathing exercises that Liu Ming had asked him to recite in the past few days.
Liu Ming sat cross-legged on the ground, with his eyes slightly closed, thinking carefully about what he saw and heard today in his mind.
After an unknown amount of time, he opened his eyes again with a sigh.
Although there were many twists and turns during this visit to the Ouyang family, the story of the Qingmiao and Linglongbi finally came to some light.
It seems that the key thing is tomorrow's battle with Long Xuan. As long as he defeats this Demon Xuan Sect disciple with his own hands, and with the Taiqing Sect behind him, he is not afraid that the other party will make other regrets.
As for promising the Ouyang family a favor, it is secondary to the need to break through the bottleneck of fake elixirs as soon as possible.
Liu Ming's eyes flashed with strange light. After thinking about it for a while, he began to really adjust his breath and recharge his energy.
At the same time, in the secret room of a tower on the top of a beautiful single peak in Xuanmeng Mountain, two figures were sitting opposite each other.
One of the middle-aged men in purple robes was Ouyang Xin, the elder of the Ouyang family, and the person sitting opposite him was an ugly-looking young man in black robes with small eyes and a flat nose.
If Liu Ming or Ouyang Qian were here, they would definitely recognize this person at a glance as Long Xuan of Mo Xuan Sect.
More than ten years have passed, and this person's appearance has changed a lot. What is particularly eye-catching is that his hair color has turned into dark green, as if there are traces of green flames attached to it, which looks extremely strange.
"Hey, I didn't expect that someone else would come to borrow the exquisite wall. It's Liu Ming from the Taiqing Sect. It's just a coincidence." Long Xuan's eyes flashed with strange light and he said with a serious smile.
"The marriage between our two sects has already been approved by the Presbyterian Council. It can be said that it is a matter of course. I never thought that at the last moment, Liu Ming would suddenly intervene. It is really abominable!" Ouyang Xinshuang!
He narrowed his eyes and said with a sigh.
"Elder Xin, don't worry. If it were the Tianmen meeting back then, I would be a little afraid of Liu Ming. But now, hey, during the competition tomorrow, I will make him kneel down and beg for mercy." Long Xuan was extremely confident.
said.
As soon as he finished speaking, a strange green cold light flashed in his eyes, and the tips of his hair suddenly crackled several times, and faint green flames appeared, adding a ghostly look to his originally ugly face.
"Since Master Nephew Long is sure of victory, it is naturally the best. As long as we can defeat Liu Ming tomorrow, the marriage will naturally be decided by me." Ouyang Xin said with a smile.
But for some reason, although the purple-robed middle-aged man was extremely confident in Long Xuan before him, he felt uneasy every time he thought about the scene where Liu Ming took his God-killing thorn.
"Then there is Elder Laoxin. When the time comes, the things promised by our sect to the elders will be fulfilled." Long Xuan laughed loudly.
A night of silence.
At noon on the second day, we were in a scenic valley in the Xuanmeng Mountains.
The vegetation in the valley is verdant, the flowers are in bloom, bursts of refreshing floral fragrance are wafting in the wind, white rabbits and deer are running back and forth among the bushes, and the sound of birds chirping in the air is clear, creating a pleasant scene of a paradise.
This is the Yingcao Valley, one of the famous nine peaks and nine valleys in the Xuanmeng Mountains.
In the true center of the valley, a rectangular platform stands.
This platform is about a few feet above the ground and covers an area of about ten acres. It is made of a kind of blue-black rock. This is black asphalt, which is also a kind of metallic ore. It is famous for its durability, but this kind of
Ore cannot be used to cast spiritual weapons, and is generally used to build buildings.
There are many blue-black stone pillars standing around the platform, which are also made of black asphalt, with many blue spiritual patterns imprinted on the surface.
This platform is where the disciples of the Ouyang family usually practice magic, and it is called Xuanyuan Terrace. (To be continued)
