Pretending, Tang Yun has always been a professional.
After many days of living as a tool, at the end of the competition, Tang Yun showed up to present the award in person and drank a wave of Yun brand chicken soup.
In addition to the exercises, Tang Yun will also take them to explore a brand new secret realm as a reward. All the rewards will be their own, and the top twenty can go there.
This reward naturally made all the young people overjoyed.
However, various martial arts schools are a little confused about this. Could it be that the secret realm Tang Yun mentioned is not within the territory of Xianghuo County? If it is within the territory, they should know better than Tang Yun. After all, this guy was not within the territory before.
Of course, although they were full of doubts, they still didn't have the courage to ask Tang Yun.
Tang Yun even dared to fight against Leiyin Temple. If these so-called local snakes didn't understand current affairs, they could imagine the consequences with their butts.
Nowadays, everyone has reached a consensus regarding Tang Yun - when you are strong, never disobey him, otherwise this guy will not tell you the rules at all.
The best way now is to win over the top twenty young people, try to tie them to your own camp, and invest in selling some favors first.
Just like those top picks who passed the imperial examinations, countless merchants and gentry were eager to marry their daughters to each other. The operations of these aristocratic families were also very different, but giving away daughters became gifts of heavenly materials, earthly treasures, and magical weapons.
There were still a few days until the secret realm opened, so Tang Yun gave them enough time to prepare, or to enjoy the benefits of honor.
…
dark place.
"boom!"
One person angrily kicked the table in front of him and cursed with a ferocious expression: "Secret Realm? Tang Yun said he would take them to the Secret Realm? Could he be talking about the Secret Realm we are waiting for?"
His hands were trembling, and he answered tremblingly: "Should, maybe, probably, maybe... not... right?"
Pfft~
In response to this answer, the man slapped him to death, and cursed with anger: "You can't even say a word, why do I keep you?"
He murmured and shook his head and said, "I don't believe there is such a coincidence in this world. What's going on in Zhenwu Pavilion now?"
"Tang Yun has sent people to the Xifeng Mountains..."
Another subordinate replied in a low voice that the Xifeng Mountains was where the secret realm they were waiting for was opened. If it was really a coincidence, was it too much of a coincidence?
"Damn..."
He took a few deep breaths, calmed down again, and asked thoughtfully: "I remember that the third place in this competition seems to be one of ours?"
Although Tang Yun was aware of their movements and sent some people undercover, he did not expose them. These people still had identities on the surface.
A group of remnants from the previous dynasty also opened a martial arts academy, but it was just a small place worth noting. I never thought that a dark horse would emerge this time, and counterattacked all the way to the third place in the finals. It was really surprising.
Eyeballs dropped.
One person nodded and replied: "Yes, his name is Dan Fengyu. He is now in the ninth level of Yun Qi. It is actually a bit of a fluke to reach third place this time, because several strong men were injured in both directions. He was rushed into the field and his injuries did not recover."
Take advantage."
The man breathed a sigh of relief and murmured with a smile: "It seems that the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge. No matter how smart Tang Yun is, he probably would never have imagined that this would happen."
Someone was stunned for a moment, and then asked tentatively: "What do you mean, sir, do we send a strong person to replace Dan Fengyu? Mix in and wait for opportunities?"
The man scolded with a dark face: "Stupid, Tang Yun is strong enough to be in the seventh level, do you think this old fox can be fooled so easily? The only way to do this is to mix the truth with the truth. Give Dan Fengyu instructions as much as possible and let him get the jade seal."
One person answered hesitantly: "But his true strength... not to mention that Tang Yun and the others are present. Are the requirements for Dan Fengyu too strict?"
The man grinned: "Just in case, let's make a fake jade seal in advance. If Tang Yun really wants to rob it, just give him the fake one."
"Sir, you are awesome." The subordinates looked at each other and immediately sent the rainbow fart.
——
several days.
Tang Yun was sitting in the carriage, leaning lazily against the carriage, his eyes slightly lowered, his long eyelashes covering up all the flickering in his eyes, as if he was thinking about something.
Although he was observing the panel, he was thinking about the feasibility of the entire plan.
He intends to come up with a big plan. If successful, his personal strength will expand rapidly in a short period of time. However, this plan needs further improvement. The biggest unstable factor lies in the system.
Tang Yun narrowed his eyes: "What is the criterion for the appearance of a copy? Could it be that I was wrong before? It's not just the face of the monster that creates a copy?
Assuming that the previous inference was wrong, then when facing Zhao Yi, Qin Yuxuan and others, a copy should be formed, but it happened that we were attacked halfway, and the opponent was a human warrior, but a copy was still formed."
So, what are the criteria for judging copies?
demon?
Or your own enemy?
Or, camp enemies?
Experiments are still needed, and the main factor that determines the success or failure of this experiment lies in... Marquis Guiyi.
He wants to set up a game to see if he can get a verification result. If it succeeds, he will start the follow-up plan, otherwise, if it fails, he will... give up.
The warrior approached the car window and whispered: "Sir, we are here."
Tang Yun came back to his senses, glanced past the window, nodded slightly, and ordered: "Set up camp on the spot and just wait."
"Yes, sir." The warrior nodded in agreement and trotted away.
The sun sets and twilight falls.
Tang Yun sat leisurely in the carriage eating and drinking.
Suddenly there was a slight exchange of sounds outside, accompanied by rustling footsteps, and suddenly the warrior reported in a low voice: "Sir, there is a little guy who insists on seeing you. His name is Dan Fengyu."
"oh?"
Tang Yun raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes looked strange, and he hummed: "Let him come up."
After a moment, the compartment door was opened, and a handsome young man walked in slightly panicked. He looked around at a loss, not knowing what to do.
"sit."
Tang Yun pointed to the opposite side of the small table and poured him a glass of wine: "It should be dinner time now. What's the matter with you coming here to see me?"
Dan Fengyu was silent for a while, then suddenly seemed to have made up his mind. He picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. He said with a wry smile: "Sir, Fengyu... is not stupid."
Tang Yun paused while picking up vegetables, then nodded to indicate for him to continue.
Dan Fengyu seemed to be risking his life, and said dejectedly: "Others think I am lucky or a dark horse. But my family knows their own affairs, so I had no chance to get involved in the top three."
Without waiting for Tang Yun to respond, he continued: "In this competition, there are too many coincidences on me. Others may not notice anything, but I know it very well.
I was still very confused at first. After all, I was just a nobody. Why should those powerful people care about me? I even thought that someone from a gambling house was involved in the operation.
But it wasn't until someone told me something a few days ago that I realized how naive I was and how many calculations it contained.
This competition is held by the Zhenwu Pavilion, and has been supervised by you personally. Those guys from the gambling house simply don’t have the guts to interfere. My luck in this journey is entirely due to you, my lord."
Having said this, Dan Fengyu couldn't help but take a deep breath, resisting the trembling of numbness in his scalp, and said in a trembling voice: "This competition is a game, a game set by you personally. The purpose is to target... the previous dynasty.
The remnants.”
Gudong~
His Adam's apple was twitching, and he couldn't help but pour himself another glass of wine. He raised his neck and drank it. He mustered up the courage to meet Tang Yun's eyes and said, "You have known about the existence of this secret realm for a long time. You even know when it will open.
what is inside."
"Continue." Tang Yun raised his glass with a smile, with some appreciation in his eyes.
Dan Fengyu whispered: "Releasing news about the secret realm and sending people here are enough to panic the remnants of the former dynasty who were already at war.
Because now in Xianghuo County, the only one who can be called your enemy is the once famous Leiyin Temple, and their strength is... not worth mentioning to you."
He filled himself up with wine again, took a small sip this time, and smiled lightly as if he was relieved: "But the Yuxi matter is of great importance, and they are already on the verge of taking action at this juncture.
And at this time, by coincidence, there is a young man under their command, who by chance breaks into the top three in the competition, and will be qualified to enter the secret realm. This person is me, and I am also their last life-saving straw."
Dan Fengyu untied the baggage, put a box on the table respectfully, and asked pleadingly: "Sir, for the sake of my voluntary explanation, can you... let my parents go?"
"put?"
Tang Yun opened the box, stared at the beautiful jade seal in the box, and said with a smile: "...It's not impossible. I have never been a person who kills indiscriminately. Considering what you said, I won't be stingy with an opportunity.
"
Dan Fengyu took a long breath and said quickly: "Thank you, sir."
Tang Yun interrupted him and said with a smile: "Don't be in a hurry to thank me. I can tell you that among you guys, there is still someone with evil intentions. He is not a remnant of the previous dynasty, but his target is also Jade Seal."
Dan Fengyu frowned and fell into thought, murmuring: "Since your Excellency can set up this situation, you must have known about the changes. However, Your Excellency did not alert the snake. There are only two possibilities, either to avoid the trap, or... there is another purpose.
"
He suddenly raised his head and stared at Tang Yun: "I think you are the latter."
Tang Yun said calmly: "He used to be my collaborator. Unfortunately, he was not strong enough but had too much ambition. His background was too high, so he was too ambitious. There are some things that he could think more rationally, but he didn't believe that he could turn the tables."
Dan Fengyu was slightly shocked and asked: "Sir, do you want me to replace him?"
Tang Yun said with a smile: "You are not strong enough, and you don't have much background to rely on. On the surface, you seem to be incomparable to him, but in fact, your identity as a remnant of the previous dynasty is enough for him to have greater trust in you.
"
He opened his mouth, lowered his head and said, "I, I will try my best to do what you wish."
Tang Yun flicked the rim of the cup and made a soft sound: "You don't need to take risks to deliver secret reports, and you don't need to inquire about the other party's secrets. What you have to do is very simple, help him deal with me."
"Ah?" Dan Fengyu was confused. What kind of operation is this?
Tang Yun thought for a while and said: "Tell him that my strength has reached the sixth level, tell him that I have the fourth of the Nine Heavenly Paths in me, tell him that you risked your life to escape, I killed your parents, and you have something to do with me.
Blood feud. Tell him that I have a plan against Leiyin Temple and have made appropriate arrangements..."
The more he listened, the more shocked Dan Fengyu felt. His thoughts were even a little chaotic. It wasn't until he stepped out of the carriage and was hit by a cold wind that he started to wake up and gradually woke up. A question echoed repeatedly in his head: "
What on earth is he going to do?"
As we all know, Tang Yun has always done things behind the scenes, but this time it seemed that he was... deliberately trying to stand out.
He doesn't know the reason.
But Dan Fengyu knew very well that Tang Yun's move must have a deeper meaning, but the calculation was too deep for him to figure it out.
Looking at his leaving figure, the smile in Tang Yun's eyes gradually faded, replaced by indifference and silence: "This game of chess is very big, and Marquis Guiyi... is just an experimental subject."
In addition to testing the dungeon generation mechanism of the system, Tang Yun also wanted to know whether Leiyin Temple had joined forces with Marquis Guiyi because of Fozi as a link.
If we really join forces.
Then what will happen to him next will definitely be a steady stream of attacks, and the attackers will come from - the sect!
Those sect masters who seem to be falling apart, but actually deliberately withdraw from the eyes of the world, seventh grade? sixth grade? or even fifth grade are no exception.
Boom~
The moment the car curtains were hidden, bursts of muffled thunder roared in the sky, streaks of scarlet lightning loomed, the wind blew as sharp as a knife, and a strong sense of ominousness arose.
Buddha sat cross-legged in the tent, looking up at the gorgeous carriage in the distance. His eyes were full of ambition, like sparks burning: "Seventh grade, if I get the runes in the jade seal, my strength will be greatly increased, and I can't even kill you."
In the blink of an eye.”
As long as he kills Tang Yun and adds the runes on his body, he may be able to break through the sixth-level bottleneck...
It's just that he always has an uneasy feeling in his heart.
So far, there has been no news from the Marquis of Guiyi. Buddha has been wondering why Tang Yun could come back alive. Didn't the forces from Prince Li Yi take action? Or did Tang Yun escape after they did?
besides.
What did that Dan Fengyu do just now?
Isn't he a remnant of the previous dynasty?
Fozi suddenly discovered that Tang Yun was like a whirlpool, a bottomless whirlpool. Every time he got closer, it would create new doubts in him.
Fozi thought for a while and finally decided to act safely: "Perhaps, I should use the things in the secret realm to test Tang Yun's strength first."
Click~~
Just at this time.
The violent wind suddenly stopped, but not far away, the layers of space were cracked, revealing a whirlpool full of cracks like a glass hollow, which seemed to be able to swallow people's souls and lure their attention.
The secret realm is opened.
The people from Zhenwu Pavilion quickly formed an encirclement and guarded the entrance to the whirlpool. After a while, the car door opened, and Tang Yun walked quickly towards the whirlpool with a sword wrapped in black cloth in his hand.
Fozi quietly withdrew his gaze and hurriedly caught up with the others.
