When Xiao Yan's face became cold and even cold, Lin Yi also completely calmed down.
Xiao Yan is a practitioner, and should be one of the most powerful practitioners in the south after the Three Saints of Nantian. However, as an emperor of a dynasty, he is forced to solve problems in the way of a practitioner. This is indeed Very sad thing.
It's just that he doesn't sympathize with the other party.
Just like what he said before, everyone should pay the price for what they have done and the choices they have made.
And he doesn't feel that what happened back then was a fair bet.
"Actually, you should have always been curious about why He Xiuxian taught me the techniques."
He looked at Xiao Yan and said, "Actually, I was able to obtain the inheritance of He Xiuxian because of Shen Yue's letter."
When Lin Yi said these words, Wu Guzhi's expression did not change at all, because she was one of the people Nantianyuan dealt with back then.
When Lin Yi got He Xiuxian's skills, he was already very different from ordinary practitioners when he started practicing. However, the arrangement between her and Nantianyuan at that time only allowed Lin Yi to practice freely. Although Lin Yi could enjoy all the conveniences of Nantianyuan, There is no need to practice step by step according to the guidance and courses given by her and other teachers.
However, when he heard what Lin Yi said, Xiao Yan's face instantly became extremely ugly.
Since He Xiuxian was imprisoned in the deserted garden, the main purpose of Nantianyuan he founded was to watch over He Xiuxian, especially the meaning of the existence of many practitioners in Nantian Yuan. If He Xiuxian wanted to get out of trouble, those who Practitioners must do their best, even if it is like a moth flying into the flame, they must delay the pace of Zhī He’s practice and leave.
During the years when Nantianyuan existed, he was also very concerned about what people in Nantianyuan were used for practice and who were bewitched by their practices. Therefore, many people in Nantianyuan were specifically on guard against this. However, it seems now that Nantianyuan has been established. Over the years, the entire Nantianyuan was not completely and firmly under his control as he thought.
"It seems that you have been hiding a lot of things from me since many years ago."
He did not look at Lin Yi, but looked at Wu Guzhi coldly.
"With Shen Yue, what kind of practice, and the other saint is your mother. Back then, you destroyed the Taoist sect and supported Buddhism. With the power of the world, almost all the resources in the south were gathered in Nantianyuan. Nantianyuan has too many resources. Many practitioners like me no longer need money or ordinary things to replenish spiritual energy, but if they want to get something unique to practice, they can only come to Nantianyuan."
Wu Guzhi could see the anger in his eyes, but she just explained the truth in an unusually calm manner, "There are too many practitioners like me, and Nantian Yuan in the beginning was not as pure as you imagined. We In your opinion, some of them have naturally received favors from Nantianyuan, but for us, if these things were not looted by you to Nantianyuan, we would get them elsewhere. We teach the Southern Dynasties in Nantianyuan Young practitioners, faced with the war between the Southern Dynasty and the Northern Wei Dynasty, they also tried their best, but they just asked us all to think the same as you, but it was impossible. In the past dynasties, the vast majority of powerful practitioners were detached from the world and would not do anything. When used by the court, most people choose to take care of themselves and not conflict with the court, but if it brings trouble to themselves, when they have to make a choice, they will naturally follow their inner thoughts."
Xiao Yan might have been able to reason with others before he ascended the throne, but after so many years since he ascended the throne, as an emperor, he would naturally not argue with others.
Moreover, at this time, Wu Guzhi's words seemed irrefutable, because these words were indeed true.
.
"You're not at a loss either."
Lin Yi said straightforwardly: "It seems like you opened an inn to support people, but the people in the inn could not have been used by you originally, but in these years, these people have done a lot for you. In just these years, countless practitioners who have left Nantianyuan have died in battles on the northern border."
"It was Shen Yue's arrangement for you to tell me where you can practice under. What do you mean by that?" Xiao Yan didn't want to listen to Lin Yi's words at all. His eyes fell back on Lin Yi and asked road.
"I want to say that when a true hero reaches his twilight years, when he looks back at the things he has done and the choices he made, he will probably regret it and feel guilty." Lin Yi's face became serious.
He raised his head, recalled the scene when he saw Shen Yue, and said slowly: "With He Xiu's cultivation level, how could he not know that the chance of winning in the battle with Shen Yue was very small? I took over Jiange, Naturally, it is very clear that although the people in Jiange are proud, they are definitely not stupid. Why was He Xiuxian forced to fight with Shen Yue and then imprisoned in Huangyuan? Don't you have any judgment in your heart? I'm afraid you want to use Shi Qian or Xiao Shufei It’s no different if my life forces me to fight against the Demon Sect.”
"Of course I don't know as much as you about what happened back then. Of course I won't be disrespectful to Shen Yue. I'm just talking about the matter. I think he probably used the lives of those in Jiange and other people who followed He Xiu to force him."
Lin Yi looked at the stars that were getting brighter and brighter in the night sky, and said: "Shen Yue was already the strongest practitioner back then. As long as he wanted to, he could kill the practitioners around He Xiuxian one by one, and He Xiuxian didn't. Maybe it can stop him from killing people. If He Xiuxian is like the Demon Sect, he only wants the results he wants, and he can naturally do whatever it takes at any cost. But he is not the Demon Sect. You are right. I am afraid that he will be like me. Being forced by someone like this."
Xiao Yan was silent for a moment.
Of course he knew what happened back then.
He didn't refute.
He didn't bother to refute.
He nodded and said: "You may not think it's fair, it's considered coercion, but in my opinion, Shen Yue did a good enough job back then. If my mother had joined forces with him back then, they wanted to kill He Xiuxian and Jiange Zhong. It's not difficult for everyone. It's just that Shen Yue took his views into consideration and made it a condition for my mother to imprison herself in Huxin Jingyuan. She fought with He Xiuxian and let He Xiuxian imprison himself in Huangyuan. And I have always respected Shen Yue for so many years. I made an agreement with him not to deal with the people in the Jiange Pavilion. If the people in the Jiange Pavilion can survive and the world can be stable, this is the best result."
"Of course, the words can be bright and grand, but the means are not necessarily bright. If He Xiuxian is not under coercion, he can naturally make himself and the people in the sword pavilion hide and sabotage secretly. Over the years, the Southern Dynasty may not be able to follow your wishes. .”
Lin Yi smiled sarcastically and said: "As for later, the reason why I said Shen Yue asked He Xiuxian to teach me how to practice is that before he passed away, I was afraid that he had begun to see that your mother's meditation was useless, but you couldn't bear it. His expectations. So he was probably very disappointed at that time."
"you"
Xiao Yan was furious, but compared with Lin Yi's outspokenness, he was indeed not good at arguing with others.
"Just like how to practice and put my senior brother outside, he knows that he can't defeat Shen Yue, but he doesn't think that his disciples can't defeat Shen Yue's disciples. In his view, my senior brother already has the possibility to change everything."
Lin Yi did not give him a chance to argue, and continued, "As for Shen Yue, he feels that I am probably another seed he left in the world, and may also bring many possibilities to future generations. He I'm afraid I can't and don't have the time to correct it.
The mistakes I made are just what I am saying. For you, I think you should reflect on them, instead of taking it for granted that everything you do is for the Southern Dynasties."
"According to your opinion, I should learn from it and reflect on my mistakes."
Xiao Yan took a deep breath, looked at Lin Yi, and said slowly: "After you killed the prince, does it still make sense for you to say such things to me again?"
Lin Yi shook his head. He looked at Xiao Yan sarcastically and said, "Xiao Shufei has always said that I am naive. In my opinion, you are not the same. I am trying my best to consider the consequences now, but I don't know if you have considered it or not." What Shen Yue and He Xiuxiu wanted to do at the beginning was to solve the problem. What kind of solution is it? If everything is a fair showdown between you and me, the outcome will be judged. I will fight with you. If I win, you are ready. How to do it, if you win, what do you want me to do?”
Xiao Yan controlled his emotions.
If you continue to be angry, you will really look too naive.
"The conditions are naturally decided by two people."
He lowered his eyelids slightly and said to Lin Yi.
Lin Yi couldn't help but shook his head.
He knows that Xiao Yan is a powerful practitioner, but what he is thinking about now is, you are sure that you can defeat me
"If you die here directly, the Southern Dynasty will be in chaos instantly."
He saw that Xiao Yan's determination was irreversible, and he didn't want to reason with Xiao Yan anymore, so he said directly: "I don't want to kill you directly. If you lose in my hands, I think you will be like my master. Imprison yourself in the deserted garden."
"very good."
Xiao Yan nodded slowly and said: "If you are defeated in my hands, I don't have to kill you, and you will be imprisoned in the lake center quiet courtyard where my mother practices."
"Sounds fair."
Lin Yi sneered, "But in this case, no matter how we win or lose in the battle, the Demon Sect will probably wake up laughing in his dreams."
"Are you still lucky enough to think that there is a possibility for us to join forces to deal with the Demon Sect?"
When Xiao Yan mentioned the word Demon Sect, the corners of his mouth twitched and his face turned slightly ferocious, "What's the difference between you and Demon Sect in my eyes?"
"So you are still childish, and you are not afraid of your mother scolding you in your dreams."
Lin Yi couldn't help but want to ridicule him, but thinking that such a bickering was meaningless, he did not say the words on his lips.
He thought about it seriously and said: "Don't forget that although you want to solve the problem as simply as Shen Yue, you are still the emperor of the Southern Dynasty. If Shen Yue solves He Xiuxian, you can make the Southern Dynasty peaceful, but you solve it Without me, as long as the Demon Sect is here, the Southern Dynasty can still be peaceful."
"Don't say that you have given up everything and don't care about anything. If Shen Yue and He Xiuxu were talking about this kind of nonsense back then, He Xiuxu would not pay attention to Shen Yue." Before Xiao Yan could speak, he had already continued. Go down, "We can negotiate peace with the Northern Wei Dynasty, but the Demon Sect must be destroyed."
"Is the Demon Sect so easy to destroy?" Xiao Yan's face became even more distorted, "You have no idea how powerful he is now."
"It turns out that you have lost confidence in dealing with the Demon Sect. You just want to kill me to vent your anger."
Lin Yi could no longer conceal his emotions. He sneered mercilessly, "It's very simple. If you lose in my hands, you can stay in your deserted garden with peace of mind. But those who are loyal to you,
Don't jump out and become my enemy. You can also leave those border troops in the north into my hands. I have no interest in your throne, but I can promise to do my best to kill the Demon Sect."
