"More than half a year ago, Lin Xiao flew back from Qin and stayed in White Jade City for half a month. Half a month later, Lin Xiao left White Jade City and a sword suddenly appeared outside the city..."
In the main hall of Chunyang Palace of Lu State, Lu Muying, who had already looked old, was reading a report. Lu Yan on the stage listened carefully. As Lu Muying's tone changed, the look in Lu Yan's eyes was slowly disappearing, leaving only
Gray despair.
Chunyang Palace had already known about the news of Lin Xiao and Li Muxue's departure from the Wu Kingdom. Li Muxue had become famous in White Jade City, and it couldn't hide it from Lu Yan. Therefore, Lu Muying invested half of his only intelligence power in White Jade City.
Lu Yan also knew about Lin Xiao's ambush outside Baiyu City half a year ago. He seemed extremely frightened and desperate that Lin Xiao had the power to kill the Shenxu monk.
What kind of power is this? Why can Wu Guo and Lin Xiao have such a treasure? They can kill even Shenxu monks. If the Immortal Killing Arrow is in his hands, Lu Yan, it is simply unimaginable.
.
However, after the panic, Lu Yan also had the only chance to make a comeback, which was the hatred of Lin Xiao from the Spirit Sword Sect. Lin Xiao repeatedly hit the Ling Sword Sect in the face. Lu Yan believed that the Ling Sword Sect would not let Lin Xiao go.
.
Especially when Qi Mei summoned the Shenxu monks, Lu Yan felt that an opportunity had come. As long as the Spirit Sword Sect was willing to take action, Lin Xiao would definitely have no chance of survival.
But the result once again made Lu Yan despair. Not only did the Spirit Sword Sect not kill Lin Xiao, but they allowed Lin Xiao to live well. Within a few days, Li Muxue held three trade fairs and became the whole Baiyu Sect.
Things that people in the city love to talk about.
"Ancestor, that's all the news. The rest of the news won't be sent back until tomorrow."
"enough"
"Ancestor"
"Muying, our Chunyang Palace was defeated. It was a complete defeat. Really, not to mention that my foundation was damaged and my path was cut off. Even if I break through the Shenxu stage now, it will have no effect. Our Chunyang Palace
It’s over”
"Ancestor, it's not like this. Really, we still have a chance. We still have many talented disciples. As long as we survive this catastrophe, we can make a comeback."
"Muying, stop talking. Since Lin Xiao debuted, he has never made a big mistake and is extremely cautious. Wu Guo's strength is constantly increasing. In a few years, I'm afraid the spiritual light monks will also skyrocket. We really don't
There is no chance”
"Ancestor"
Lu Muying knelt in front of Lu Yan, feeling uneasy in his heart. He could not imagine what the future life of Chunyang Palace would be like, but he could already feel the despair in Lu Yan's heart and the sound of his ambition being wiped out.
Even the last time Lu Yan was severely injured, his foundation was damaged, and his path was cut off, Lu Yan never gave up. Over the past few decades, Lu Yan worked hard and used all means to restore the sect's strength, and the speed of recovery was also very fast.
There is no need for Wu Guo to be slow.
Lu Yan has always been very confident that when the next war breaks out, he will defeat the main force of Wu State. Even if he cannot destroy Wu State, he can still severely damage them. For this, Lu Yan paid a huge sacrifice.
But as soon as the news about Baiyu City came out, Lu Yan was completely desperate, and any ambitions and ambitions disappeared, because Lu Yan already knew that no matter how hard he tried, the current Lu State would no longer be Wu State's opponent.
That Immortal-killing Arrow is enough to kill all the masters in the Lu Kingdom, so how can we defeat them?
But Lu Yan was desperate, and Lu Muying was naturally panicked. The Lu State was now solely supported by Lu Yan. If Lu Yan was gone, what would the entire Lu State do?
"Muying"
"Ancestor, I am here"
"What do you think Lu Guo will do next?"
"Ancestor"
"In thirty or forty years at most, the Wu Kingdom will completely overtake the Lu Kingdom, completely crushing it with the aura and Dao Gang, and we will die without a place to bury ourselves."
"Ancestor, the Cang Kingdom and the Heavenly Eclipse Kingdom are also afraid of the Wu Kingdom. The Three Kingdoms Alliance can rise again, and Li Changqing and the others are also looking forward to it. Ancestor, you can't lose heart."
"Wu Muyang of the Cang Kingdom is short-sighted and has a short lifespan. Even if he helps us block the Wu Kingdom once, what will happen next time when the Wu Kingdom attacks the Cang Kingdom with all its strength? From Wu Muyang's perspective, he will only please the Wu Kingdom and will
We sold everything, but Yun Shaoyang of the Tian Eclipse Kingdom has poor medical skills and puts all his hopes on his cultivation. In addition, it is far away from the Wu Kingdom. Even if it is an alliance, it will not contribute more than five points.
The Three Kingdoms Alliance is a joke.
As for Li Changqing and them, if I die and you don’t produce another spiritual monk, I dare to ask, decades from now, will Lu’s surname be Lu or Li?”
Lu Yan said calmly, refuting Lu Muying's words one by one. If Lu Muying did what he said, Chunyang Palace would still be dead.
"Ancestor, what can be done about it?"
"Bottom line, Chunyang Palace and our Lu family, there is still one last way to go. Maybe we can save Chunyang Palace and the Lu family."
"Ancestor, what is the method, please explain it in detail"
"surrender"
"What"
"Surrender to Wu Guo"
"Old Ancestor, how can you say such a thing? Our Lu State has a great reputation and has been passed down for thousands of years. How can we surrender to the Wu State? How can our disciples hold their heads high in the future?"
"How do you choose between humiliation and death? If you choose dignity, you will die. Once a person dies, it will be over, and there will be nothing left. You have chosen not to have dignity. You can live, and you can tell your descendants that we, Lu State, were once
Such splendor made them indulge in it, make them yearn for it, and make them work hard to restore the glory of Lu State.
Maybe one day, the situation in Wu Kingdom will change, and our descendants can wash away this humiliation again. Muying, you said, there is no such possibility."
"have"
Lu Muying replied that he had no way of knowing how the always arrogant Lu Yan said this. In the past, it was harder to get Lu Yan to surrender than to kill him.
But now he took the initiative to say those two words. As for the forbearance that Lu Yan said, Lu Muying actually disagreed, because their enemy was a calm and cold enemy. What if they really surrendered and they killed the prisoners?
How could I give you a chance to be patient and recuperate?
"Muying, do you really agree with what I do?"
"The ancestor said that this is the only chance to break the boat. Although this move will hand over all our wealth and lives to the Wu Kingdom, we may die, and the Chunyang Palace and the Lu family will be fine, because the Wu Kingdom still needs to plot against the Cang Kingdom.
Tian Eclipse Kingdom and others, if he kills us who surrendered, no one will surrender to Wu Kingdom in the future."
"You really think so?"
"Yes, but there are still many problems. The Lu State is not only our family, but also has six major families and hundreds of inferior forces. What do they think?
What about the Kingdom of Heavenly Eclipse and the Kingdom of Cang, and even the Kingdom of Xiang, which has no sense of existence in the east of us? This is a very complicated situation. If the ancestor has not thought it through clearly, please do not act rashly."
"Your analysis is good. We really can't be careless. We have to think about a lot of consequences, but it is undeniable that this is our only chance."
"Ancestor, there is one more thing. Will the Wu Kingdom allow us to surrender? Lin Xiao started his career by fighting and killing. Death on the battlefield is nothing to him. If the other sects of the Wu Kingdom
If we agree, how will they treat us?
Can they rest assured that the strength of Chunyang Palace is intact? If all of us Dao Gang monks are purged, will Chunyang Palace still exist in the future?"
"Muying, why wasn't you the one who broke through the spiritual light back then?"
"Ancestor, it makes no sense to say this now."
"Yes, I will solve all the problems you mentioned. After my death, you will be in charge of Chunyang Palace. The six major families, except the Lu family, will all leave Chunyang Palace so that we can get together and disperse."
"Ancestor"
"Of course I have my own ways, you don't have to worry, now tell me what you will do in the future."
"If Lu State surrenders, it will be split up and purged by Wu State, so beforehand, the property and talented disciples we transferred cannot be transferred back. This is our escape route.
As for the Lu State, everything is based on patience. They can endure humiliation, are not afraid of rumors, and focus on running Lingshan, selecting talents, training disciples, and accumulating financial resources."
"Okay, what if Tiansheng Sect refuses to let you go?"
"Wei Shier, I have selected a few successors, told them the policies and strategies, and asked them to follow them."
"Muying, I regret not supporting you with all my strength back then."
"Ancestor, I was born as a member of the Lu family, and when I die, I am a ghost of the Lu family."
"Okay, okay, okay. With you here, I can rest assured that our Lu family will not be exterminated. There will be a time when we can make a comeback."
Lu Yan was greatly relieved, but also regretted that he had not tried his best to train Lu Muying. Instead, he had let that idiot Lu Muyang waste resources and let Chunyang Palace waste more than a hundred years. If Lu Muying was allowed to take charge, Chunyang Palace would definitely
Wouldn't be in such a situation.
Lu Yan explained the funeral affairs, and then asked Lu Muying to contact Tiansheng Sect through channels. He wanted to meet Lin Xiao and discuss something. Since Lu Guo could no longer hold on, surrender, there is still a chance of survival in surrender.
.
The news that Lu Yan wanted to see Lin Xiao passed through many layers and soon reached the desk of Tiansheng Sect Ye Nanyu. Ye Nanyu was reprimanded by Lin Xiao for his extreme behavior and was fined another year's salary, but was not deprived of his position.
, the popularity among the sect has actually increased a lot. Everyone knows that Ye Nanyu is also Lin Xiao's true confidant, and the power in the sect has always been in Lin Xiao's hands.
After Ye Nanyu learned the news, he did not dare to make the decision without authorization. On the one hand, he mobilized people to check whether the news was true or false, and on the other hand, he passed the news to Lin Xiao. At the same time, he notified Danyang Sect Leng Ning to be careful and guard against Lu Yan's plot.
Soon, Lin Xiao replied to the message. He would return to Wu Kingdom after March. Then he would go directly to Chunyang Palace for talks and ask Ye Nanyu to prepare manpower for response.
