Chapter 556: Talking about the Numbers (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
The hunter who discovered the ice cave was surprised but did not dare to say anything.
He knew that once he told the truth and the Ye family came to visit him, he would gain nothing and might be charged with something.
So he went to the county governor's house to report his findings, hoping to get a reward.
Murong Fenghua happened to be present at that time. After asking the whole story, he rewarded the soul with ten yuan, and then directly sent people to intercept and search for the soul when the hunter returned.
Along the way to search for souls, everyone who knew about this was killed. Several people who were traveling with him were killed just because Orion said that he had received a reward from the government and invited them to drink.
Do you know where this reward comes from?
What was especially speechless was that two other people came to drink with him, but they were also killed a few days later.
On the contrary, Orion's family members were safe and sound - soul searching proved that Orion only told the other two Orions about this matter, not his family.
Murong Fenghua's goal was to dominate this cave. While he was making arrangements for this, Lan Xiang and Long Shan suddenly had a big dispute. Especially in the Bingquan area, the two sides were at war with each other.
Under such circumstances, the cave was easily discovered. Murong Changshi wanted to buy the area in the cave as soon as possible, but the area he wanted to buy was too big and too eye-catching.
The Ten Thousand Years Ice Cave may not be very big, but when it comes to earth veins and spiritual power, you can't just look at the size of the cave. The surrounding areas must be purchased to avoid damaging the earth veins and affecting the spiritual power.
If you want to buy this, at least hundreds of miles of ground, it would be considered news at normal times, let alone at such a sensitive moment when Lan Xiang and Long Shan are fighting to the death.
Chang Shi bought a lot of land in Bingquan. What kind of favor is this?
The government and the sect are really different systems, so they should be avoided at all times, let alone such sensitive times.
What Murong Fenghua was particularly worried about was that if his family's unusual behavior in purchasing land aroused suspicion in the two sects, and they investigated carefully, it would be a big deal.
However, it was impossible for him to just sit back and wait. He had quietly investigated the situation of the ice cave in person. Compared with the thousand-year-old ice cave in the open, this place was an undeveloped virgin land.
The value is amazing.
Even the Ten Thousand Years Ice Cave in its heyday may not be comparable to this new cave.
It was inconvenient to buy land, and he couldn't just sit and wait, so Murong Fenghua's only option was to instigate both sides into a fight.
It was inconvenient for him to come forward, so he asked the clan leader to invite several high-level cultivators and said that the county governor could not stand the unscrupulous fighting between sects.
The guardian came to clean up the mess.
None of the people invited by the patriarch are from the sect. There is really no psychological pressure in doing such things to sow discord. In fact, they have a natural rejection of the sect and are happy to see dog-eat-dog scenes happen.
Moreover, Murong Fenghua is a fourth-level immortal at a young age, and he is still helping out at the Sheriff's Mansion. He has a bright future, so even a seventh-level immortal is willing to form such a good relationship.
This is the truth behind why disciples Long Shan and Lan Xiang were attacked by each other at the same time.
This plan was very good, but when attacking Lan Xiang's disciples, there was a problem. They did not expect that the opponent actually had the ability to kill seventh-level immortals, which led to
The Murong family's plot was exposed.
"This Murong family's debt will be settled later... Sichuan, let's keep the news secret for now," Chen Taizhong quickly made up his mind.
Hall Master Xin secretly called out luck when he heard this. Fortunately, Dongshangren insisted on continuing the investigation. If he had ignored it and directly informed Longshan of the situation, and both parties jointly put pressure on the county governor's office, wouldn't they have missed the opportunity to monopolize it?
opportunity?
Longshan had no idea about this, and they were making a fuss over the loss of their disciples.
As for the Qi cultivator who was also attacked by cultivators disguised as Longshan's disciples, Longshan said that this was your one-sided statement - if you want us to believe it, take out the shadow stone.
The sword cultivators do not think that what Lan Xiang said must be false. In fact, they are extremely suspicious that the masters who have played a bad role in it have lived for many years. The evil tricks they have seen are real.
Not too much.
But in the end, they still chose not to believe that in such a precarious time, they had a rare image stone that contained the evil spirit of Qi cultivation. They must firmly grasp this, the moral advantage.
We don’t know how Lan Xiang’s disciple died. Let’s take out the image stone and let’s talk!
However, Dongshangren's strength once again broke everyone's understanding. He simply stated that he didn't want a shadow stone! He wanted to explain? No!
In short, I am not interested in knowing who died in Longshan. I only know that you, Longshan, must hand over the instigator!
This is not the attitude of negotiation at all, right? The sword cultivators were furious for a moment.
They originally planned that if Lan Xiang's momentum could be stopped, if the other party wanted to search for the real culprit in the next step - if the so-called real culprit did exist, Longshan would not mind cooperation between the two parties.
Of course, if he wants to cooperate, Lan Xiang must show enough sincerity.
When the matter got to this point, it was impossible not to invite arbitration at the door, so Longshan reported it to Bai Tuomen.
The Baituomen was also in a bit of trouble due to the recent dispute between the two families. When they heard that there was a possibility of a full-scale conflict between the two families, they sent the fourth elder of the faction to suppress it. These four elders were none other than Lu Xiaojie.
This time, Elder Lu put on a show of dignity when he came. Because of Zhenren Ma, he couldn't be too partial to Longshan - in fact, if it hadn't been for the appointment by the leader, he wouldn't have wanted to come at all.
But now that he's here, he has to act like a bowl of water is all right and ask both sides to send their heads to attend the talks.
After receiving the news, Nan Wangliu rushed to the Qingchuan City camp, and then went straight to Bingquan with Chen Taizhong to attend the meeting.
From Longshan came Commander Chang and the Supreme Elder. The three parties sat together and discussed the two attacks.
At this moment, Longshan still felt that his side had a better chance of winning, so they handed the secret photo stone to a passerby and asked him to identify the authenticity.
The photo stone must be real. After reading it, Elder Lu nodded, "Although the murderer's masked attire is Lan Xiang's costume and he is very good at boxing and kicking, eh." "I can't tell the number of Qi cultivation methods, but I can't tell either.
It’s not Qi cultivation.”
Most of his statements were nonsense, but he didn't forcefully point out that he was a Qi cultivator, which is fair on the surface.
While he was talking, he wanted to hand the photo stone to Nan Wangliu for viewing. Chang Zhizhang became anxious when he saw this, "People on the road..." You can't show it to them. You, the arbiter, just know what you know."
For Longshan, the image stone in his hand is also a rare commodity.
The image of the photo stone is not particularly clear, but if you really think about it, you can get a lot of clues. If Lan Xiang was really attacked, he would definitely be concerned about the person who pretended to attack Longshan. The attack on two families one by one is probably one family.
What you do.
It is said that Dong Yiming cherishes his disciples very much. If he wants to find out the attacker's route, why don't he ask Longshan?
Elder Lu thought for a moment, handed back the image stone, and then looked at Nan Wangliu, "What do you think, Commander Nan?"
"Elder Lu, please watch." Commander Nan raised his head slightly. The maid behind her came out, patted the storage bag, and released a corpse and a head. "This is the murderer who attacked my disciple Lan Xiang."
…, has already been executed.”
It was similar to what the Longshan faction thought. Lan Xiang only said that the murderer was executed and did not show the body. This was because they were facing the elders who came to the door, so they took out hard goods, and they were not afraid that Longshan would see it.
Elder Lu glanced twice, frowned suddenly, stared at the head, and said in surprise, "The Prodigal Sword...Xu Pangtong?"
Xu Pangtong was a casual cultivator with unknown origins. He was once employed as a worshiper of a certain titled family for a short period of time and spent all day wandering around flowers. Later, due to his negligence, this hobby led to the tragic death of the eldest son of the family at the hands of his enemies.
This accusation of poor protection was ironclad, and the owner was furious and wanted to hold him accountable.
However, he had a strange skill and was not bound by the oath, so he could directly fight with his sword, and he has not wandered around the world since then.
Fortunately, the master's family considered that this person was a lonely ghost, and if they dealt with it with all their strength, their children would inevitably be killed by retaliatory attacks, so they just announced his bad deeds and said "The Dream Has Set Sail☆ Qing Yier"
Ya" offered a reward that was not too high.
Of course, the reward was not high, and it was considered a windfall for many people, especially some who couldn't stand him breaking his oath, so he still suffered several sneak attacks. However, this man was as cunning as a fox, and either killed the opponent or killed him.
Break through with sword.
These few battles made him a difficult figure in the eyes of everyone, and his reputation in Western Xinjiang was not small.
"Xu Pangtong?" Commander Chang took a deep breath when he heard this. He really didn't expect that Lan Xiang would kill such a person. Shocked. The next moment, he immediately expressed his dissatisfaction, "Where is this?"
Is it from Longshan?"
"If I'm not from Longshan, why can't I be hired by you?" Nan Wangliu smiled sweetly, with a gentle and harmless look, but her words were exactly the opposite, directly insinuating the despicable behavior of the other party.
"Anyway, you have done this kind of thing once or twice... Do you need me to make it clear?"
Of course, Longshan didn't dare to let her point it out. They had recruited masters to ambush at the boundary of Longshan. What was especially fatal was that one of the important figures had now joined Longshan's camp.
Master Yan was not present at this negotiation. Both Longshan and Lan Xiang tried their best to show their responsibilities. It is one thing to invite outsiders to help, but whether it should be brought to the doorstep is another matter.
In fact, the Baituomen are quite aware of these situations and do not touch these dirty links. However, if the subordinates dare to speak out, they will challenge the patience of the people who come to the door.
"We don't know anything about what you said," Chang Shuxin denied directly, but he did not dare to continue on this topic, but opened a new topic, "You can just take the head of an immortal,
How dare you say that this person is impersonating me, Longshan...Nan, to be in charge, and you have the nerve to say this without any proof?"
"If we hadn't bumped into him, would I, Lan Xiang, have gone to great lengths to hunt down the Prodigal Sword?" Nan Wangliu replied with a sneer, "This man is not easy to kill, as everyone knows."
Chen Taizhong felt bored listening to their debate. However, suddenly, he felt a force of energy directed at him. He couldn't help but look up, only to find that Elder Lu was squinting at him.
