"Haha! Venerable Xiao, I am truly honored to be able to come to my humble residence with such honor!"
Regarding Xiao Ziyu's strength, although Xiao Zhan was a little surprised in his heart, on the surface, he did not miss it at all. Instead, he walked over with an enthusiastic look and laughed, showing his generosity.
"How dare you, a man from the mountains, bother the King of Zhenbei to greet him personally? It's rude and disrespectful!" Xiao Ziyu also didn't expect that the King of Zhenbei would come directly outside the palace to greet him in person.
But he was very happy in his heart. In any case, the face given by the other party was enough, so he returned the gift.
"Haha! Master Xiao, you are not a man from the mountains!" Xiao Zhan glanced at Xiao Ziyu meaningfully and said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, please invite your distinguished guests into the mansion!" At this moment, the housekeeper suddenly reminded Xiao Zhan.
"Oh! Look at my memory. I was so happy to see Master Xiao that I forgot everything."
"Quickly, Master Xiao, please follow me into the mansion to talk."
After patting his head, Xiao Zhan said that his behavior at this time was not that of the powerful Zhenbei King, but an old man without any scheming. But Xiao Ziyu would not be deceived by his appearance.
To be able to stand here for a hundred years without falling, his means are definitely not low.
However, Xiao Ziyu is not afraid of the other party's "mischief". He is very confident in his own strength.
So he followed King Zhenbei into the palace.
The palace of King Zhenbei was really big. Xiao Ziyu made a visual inspection and found that it covered more than a thousand acres of land. Xiao Ziyu had to guess whether this guy built such a large palace intentionally.
In such a large palace, even if someone came to assassinate him, it would be difficult to find him. Maybe he has not found the King of Zhenbei yet, but got lost first.
Of course, this is just Xiao Ziyu's malicious speculation.
However, the palace was built in a very grand style, with rockery and water inside, giving it the feeling of a small bridge and flowing water.
I followed King Zhenbei into the palace and had some exchanges with him. Of course, most of the exchanges between the two were about martial arts.
Otherwise, the two of them really have nothing to say, after all, they have just met.
Although Xiao Ziyu seldom uses martial arts anymore, it does not mean that his martial arts realm is gone. To put it bluntly, Xiao Ziyu is confident that his martial arts realm is the pinnacle of Daqian.
During the exchange with King Zhenbei, the other party was also very happy, because he felt that he had made slight progress during the exchange.
This is really serious. Every step forward in cultivating to the middle stage of Heavenly Control Realm is very valuable.
After some exchanges, Xiao Ziyu was taken to the place where they lived by the housekeeper. Zhou Yu and the others also moved into the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion because of Xiao Ziyu's relationship.
There are thousands of rooms in the entire palace, and there are dozens of courtyards for entertaining guests in the front courtyard. Xiao Ziyu and his party are all arranged in the same courtyard. Of course, Xiao Ziyu is alone. This is a sign of respect for Xiao Ziyu.
After Xiao Ziyu left, Zhenbei King Xiao Zhan also returned to his secret room of seclusion. Because the exchange just now made him gain a lot, he wanted to pursue the victory and absorb everything he learned during the exchange with the group into his own martial arts.
"I didn't expect that this person from the Xun Dao Sect has such a profound level of martial arts. I have gained a lot this time. It seems that I will have to find him a few more times in the future and have in-depth exchanges. Then I will be able to break through to the late stage of Tianyu very soon.
”.
Of course, Xiao Zhan also knew that the reason why he was able to achieve such a big gain this time was because it was the first time. It was obviously impossible to make such a big progress in the future.
But even so, he was in a happy mood.
However, he didn't know that someone thousands of miles away in the north was already plotting against him. Of course, even if he knew, he wouldn't care.
In guarding the Beiguan of this town for hundreds of years, he has never seen any overt or covert attacks. The empire in the north has used all kinds of methods, and he is not afraid at all.
But this time it might be different.
Because an ‘eagle’ appeared in the northern grassland empire.
Wanyan Dingtian, the leader of the new generation of grassland empire. Fifty years ago, he accepted the position of the previous generation. As soon as he took the position, he immediately showed his iron-blooded skills.
In just twenty years, all the ethnic groups in this northern grassland were integrated, power was concentrated in the central government, that is, in his hands, and then he vigorously developed military power.
In the past twenty years, he has swept across the entire grassland, making the originally loose tribes of the grassland empire closely connected.
Once the internal situation was settled, of course he wanted to expand externally, so Dagan in the south was his first choice. After all, Dagan was very wealthy.
His ancestors just liked to go south to plunder resources, and he was certainly no exception, and his ambitions were even greater. His ancestors at most just went south to plunder all kinds of wealth.
And he even wanted to plunder Daqian's territory, and after winning the territory, he would directly occupy it.
However, if you want to go south, you must first pass Zhenbei Pass. This is the most powerful pass in the world guarded by Daqian Zhenbei King. It is not that easy.
For hundreds of years, countless of their children on the northern grasslands have died, but they have not broken through this heroic pass. And although he is also a generation of heroes, he also knows that this Zhenbeiguan Jedi is not that easy to break through.
Therefore, he discussed a plan with his counselors, which was to cause civil strife in Daqian.
So they found the Demon Sect, which had been crazily suppressed by Da Gan. Both sides had a common enemy, and they were "like each other" and hit it off immediately.
The Demon Sect is constantly stirring up troubles in Daqian to attract the ideas of the Daqian royal family, while their grassland empire is secretly gathering strength.
Of course, this is not enough. If Zhenbeiguan is not broken for one day, it will be difficult for them to move south from the northern grasslands. So Shengguimen has the task of attacking Xianzhou.
Those in Xianzhou cultivated their own troops, and then when the northern grassland army moved south, they also raided Zhenbeiguan. In this way, they attacked Zhenbeiguan from both inside and outside, exhausting Zhenbeiguan and breaking it in one fell swoop.
This plan is not bad, and if it is implemented, it may actually have some possibility.
But in the end something unexpected happened, because they encountered the rise of the Xundao Sect, a sect with the Heavenly Control Realm, and the Holy Ghost Sect did not want to conflict too much with it.
If there is no owner in Xianzhou, the Holy Ghost Sect will still have a chance.
But now that Xundao Sect is in Xianzhou, it means they have a master. The Holy Ghost Sect doesn't want to fight to the death for this.
As for whether this will offend Northern Grassland, the Holy Ghost Sect doesn't care at all. In their eyes, Northern Grassland is just a guy who drinks blood and is not worthy of cooperating with them.
If it weren't for the Tianmo Sect's suggestion, the Holy Ghost Sect wouldn't even go to meet those people from the northern grasslands.
Therefore, after Xiao Ziyu appeared, the Holy Ghost Sect directly chose to withdraw. Now even the people from the Tianmo Sect could not say anything. After all, they could not let the Holy Ghost Sect fight to the death with the Xundao Sect.
Without the Holy Ghost Sect, the plan of Wanyan Dingtian, the hero of the northern grassland, was broken, so he had to make another plan.
After thirty years of waiting, the result was that the Holy Ghost Sect said that Xianzhou had strong men in the Tianyu Realm who could not defeat them.
Wanyan Ding innocently hated the Holy Ghost Sect, but he also knew that their grassland empire was now cooperating with the Demon Sect, so he could only forget about it temporarily.
Of course, he was also extremely resentful towards the Xundao Sect, because of them, his plan was ruined.
We had to find another way, and this method was a bit extreme.
