With the arrival of the survivors of the Tan Kingdom, Yuancheng became more and more lively, and everyone was celebrating the survivors of this disaster.
Jiang Beiran originally wanted to find Gu Qinghuan secretly to find out about the situation, but before he could send the kite away, Gu Liangyu flew in front of him.
"Master Jiang, our ancestors are looking for you. Please come with me."
Jiang Beiran believed that Gu Liangqian must have something serious to do with him, so he took back the kite and nodded: "Okay, let's go."
"please."
After making an invitation gesture, Gu Liangyu took Jiang Beiran to their family's temporary residence. After passing through several long corridors, Jiang Beiran found that there were fewer and fewer people around, and in the end there was not even a servant left.
At this time, Gu Liangyu took the initiative to explain: "There are only a handful of people who can see our ancestors in the entire Yuan City, and you, Master Jiang, are one of them. Our ancestors really trust you very much."
After listening to Gu Liangyu's words, Jiang Beiran understood something in his mind, and at the same time, he became curious about the young man in front of him who was leading the way for him...
Among the people he has come into contact with so far, most are middle-aged or old people, because these people are the core figures in the family or sect, and this Gu Liangyu is no more than Xuanhuang, but in the Gu Liang family or in the
Gu Liangqian's status in his heart is quite high, as if he is being groomed as a successor.
'It's not easy...'
With emotion, Jiang Beiran followed Gu Liangyu through the three-layer formation in one breath and arrived at an underground palace.
Pushing open the two heavy stone doors, Gu Liangyu stepped aside and made an invitation gesture to Jiang Beiran: "The ancestors are waiting for you inside. Master, please come in."
Nodding towards Gu Liangyu, Jiang Beiran walked into the palace.
"Rumble..."
After he entered the palace, the heavy stone door was closed.
By the bright candlelight, Jiang Beiran saw a person sitting cross-legged in the center of the palace at a glance, but that person was not Gu Liangqian, but a handsome young man.
"Master Jiang, come and sit."
As soon as the young man spoke, Jiang Beiran was startled. Although the voice was completely different, Jiang Beiran was instantly sure that this young man was Gu Liangqian!
"I've met senior Gu Liang." Jiang Beiran stepped forward and cupped his hands.
The young-looking Gu Liangqian smiled and responded: "I heard from Yu'er that survivors from other countries are gradually gathering in Yuancheng, and the situation is better than we imagined."
"Yes." Jiang Beiran nodded, "The situation is indeed stronger than we expected."
Based on the various situations in Tong State before, Jiang Beiran originally believed that the other five countries had only some remaining forces running around or stubbornly resisting.
But I didn't expect that there were still relatively complete high-end combat capabilities like Wei and Tan.
After hearing this, Gu Liangqian let out a long sigh and said, "But it's also troublesome..."
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Beiran knew what Gu Liangqian was worried about, so he said: "Senior Gu Liang, there is no need to worry too much. Let's not talk about the other five countries receiving this great favor. I shouldn't have too many thoughts now, so just say
They are still in a severely weakened state and cannot make any waves."
The only problem that Gu Liangqian could worry about was that so many strong men gathered in Tong State at once. When they calmed down, who knew what they would do.
After hearing this, Gu Liangqian smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Forget it about big favors. Each of these people are ruthless people who can achieve great things. As long as it is profitable, a huge favor is nothing. It can make them not mess around now.
There is only one reason, and that is that they are still disturbed by the poison, so they are willing to be obedient."
'Tsk, it seems that the leaders of the six countries are quite incompatible with each other.'
Looking at Gu Liangqian's disdainful expression, Jiang Beiran knew that Gu Liangqian had almost zero trust in the leaders of the other countries, and it was estimated that there were many open and covert attacks between them.
"Now that justice is still there, I believe they should still understand that they should focus on the overall situation now and focus on driving away the evil cultivators first."
After hearing this, Gu Liangqian reluctantly nodded: "They do have this kind of brain. What I'm worried about is that once the Gu cultivator is destroyed, their thoughts will come alive immediately, so I have something to ask Master Jiang, please.
You must promise me."
"Senior, please tell me."
"Can you help them get rid of part of the poison in their bodies, but not completely?"
Gu Liangqian's idea was quite understood by Jiang Beiran. As a superior, he had more things to consider than others. If it was for the sake of the righteousness of the human race that Tong Country suffered a disaster, it would be a dereliction of duty on his part.
In addition, Gu Liangqian immediately extended a helping hand to the other five countries after Tongguo escaped from danger. It can be said that he has done his best to benevolent and righteous. Now it is understandable to consider self-protection.
Therefore, both emotionally and rationally, Jiang Beiran should agree to his request.
It was just through the last conversation and Gu Liangqian's olive branch that he wanted to draw him into the Tongguo camp.
Jiang Beiran had reason to believe that Gu Liangqian's move was not just for self-protection.
As long as the poison continues to exist in the bodies of the other Five Kingdoms Xuan Sages, then what Gu Liangqian can do is not only prevent them from messing with Yuancheng, but also "mess" with them...
'I'm afraid after taking this step, there will be more things like this waiting for me...'
At this moment, Jiang Beiran felt that Gu Liangqian was using another softer method to pull him onto the "big ship" of Tong State, but Jiang Beiran was not too resistant to this.
After all, he has now shown his talents, and it is impossible to continue to keep a low profile. Continuing to cooperate with Gu Liangqian is not a bad choice.
Of course, the premise is that he doesn't do anything too outrageous.
After thinking about it, Jiang Beiran replied: "Senior Gu Liang's concerns are reasonable and reasonable. I am willing to try my best to prevent others from having undue thoughts about Tongguo."
"Okay!" Gu Liangqian was overjoyed after hearing this. He opened his eyes and said with relief, "Then I'll leave it to Master Jiang."
…
After leaving the temporary residence, Gu Liangyu bid farewell to Jiang Beiran.
On the way back to the square, Jiang Beiran looked up at the clear sky and felt filled with emotion.
Logically speaking, he should hate this kind of "gong scheming", but when he thought that his goal was to unify the Black Dragon Continent, he felt that this was a good insertion point.
After all, it is only in troubled times that it is easiest to overthrow and start over, and the capital he has in his hands now is enough to sit on the gambling table of Xuanlong Continent.
But for now, he is just sitting on the gambling table. Compared with the leaders of the Six Nations, he still lacks a lot of things, so he must carefully gamble every game, otherwise, if he is not careful, he will be full of troubles.
All bets are lost.
While walking, Jiang Beiran folded the letter he had just written to Lu Qinghuan into a paper kite and let it fly. Just as he was thinking about who to look for next, he saw Yan Xiaobo flying over looking for him.
"Master Jiang." Yan Xiaobo said anxiously as soon as he landed: "Headmaster Huo hasn't returned yet, will there be any accident?"
"Not back yet?" Jiang Beiran's heart skipped a beat after hearing this.
The only country among the six countries that has not sent back any news is Zeng Guo, the country that Huo Hongkai led his team to support.
It stands to reason that Zeng State is closer than Tan State, so they should have returned first. However, there is no news yet, but it is possible that they encountered some unexpected situation.
"Senior Yan, don't worry too much. If we really encounter any danger, Senior Huo and the others must have come back with the Fairy Treasure Slips. Since they haven't come back yet, they must have encountered some unexpected situation. So, I'm here
Just ask Sword Master to go take a look together, senior, just wait here for my news."
"Let me go too."
"No, now that Senior Guliang is in seclusion, Yuancheng still needs a respected senior like you to take charge. All matters big and small cannot be separated from you."
"In that case...it's all Master Jiang's fault."
"What should be done, then I will go to the meeting hall first."
After bowing his hands towards Yan Xiaobo, Jiang Beiran walked all the way to the meeting hall and found Ji Yu who was wiping his sword.
"Senior Ji, Master Huo has not returned since he went to Zeng State. I am worried that he has encountered some trouble, so I would like to ask you to come with me and go over to see the situation."
,
After hearing this, Ji Yu put his sword into its scabbard, stood up and said, "Let's go."
Nodding, Jiang Beiran got on the Fei Mansion and followed Ji Yu to fly towards Zeng Guo.
Flying at full speed, the two quickly rushed into the miasma and arrived at the territory of Zeng State.
According to the original plan, Huo Hongkai and the others should go straight to Piling, the main city of the Zeng Kingdom, so Jiang Beiran naturally looked there first.
During the flight, Jiang Beiran discovered through the Sky Eye Array that the damage to the towns in Zeng State was more serious than in other countries. It seemed that fierce battles had occurred in several places.
It can be seen that the cultivators of Zeng State did not gather in one place at the first time, but fought separately for a while.
However, there is no difference in the outcome. Most areas of the Zeng Kingdom have lost all vitality, and more resentful spirits are wandering around the ruins than in other countries.
"There is a situation."
While Jiang Beiran was looking around, Ji Yu, who was flying in front, suddenly stopped and made a blocking gesture.
Seeing this, Shi Fenglan immediately stopped Feifu and looked at Xiao Beiran.
After adjusting the Sky Eye Formation and looking in front of Ji Yu, Jiang Beiran found that many Gu cultivators were surrounding him.
Ji Yu didn't tolerate them, so he directly drew his sword and attacked them.
Under Ji Yu's fierce offensive, the Gu cultivators were quickly killed and dispersed, but they quickly gathered together again.
Ji Yu also knew that the killing would be endless, so he asked Jiang Beiran, "Where should we break through now?"
Just as Jiang Beiran was about to speak, he saw dozens of fire dragons of different colors flying towards him.
"Ouch!"
As the fire dragon roared, the newly gathered Gu cultivators were dispersed again. At the same time, Huo Hongkai came to Ji Yu with several Xuansheng behind him.
"Why are you here?"
After hearing this, Ji Yu replied: "You are the only one left who has not returned to Yuancheng. Master Jiang was worried that you would be in trouble, so he came with me to look for you."
After hearing this, Huo Hongkai controlled the fire dragon to disperse the Gu cultivators who were about to surround him again. At the same time, he smiled bitterly and said: "Haha, I didn't expect that it was me who was holding me back, but as Master Jiang said, I did encounter a difficult situation, so I
It took so long.”
"I wonder what happened to Senior Huo?" Jiang Beiran said in Fei's mansion.
"It's just...Hi! You will know after you come and see me."
After Huo Hongkai finished speaking, he took the lead and flew towards the southwest.
Driven by dozens of fire dragons, Gu Xiu had no chance to block Jiang Beiran's path and could only watch Jiang Beiran fly away with Huo Hongkai.
After flying for a while, Jiang Beiran discovered a city full of life. No need to guess, it must be Piling City.
"So it turns out that Zeng State hasn't completely fallen yet?" Jiang Beiran said when he came to the sky above Piling City.
Huo Hongkai on the side nodded and said: "Well, when I came here before, I found that the Gu cultivators were surrounding this Piling City but not attacking it. It seemed that they were afraid of something."
"As soon as I saw this situation, I planned to rush in and bring out the people trapped in the city. I never thought that just as I broke through the Gu cultivator's encirclement, I encountered a very powerful man in black robes and exchanged several moves with him.
Later, I discovered that he was not a Gu cultivator, but a human being, so I wanted to communicate with him, but to my surprise, he acted as if he couldn't hear me and kept attacking me fiercely."
Speaking of this, Huo Hongkai spread his hands and said, "Although I don't know what the situation is, I can't possibly kill my compatriots, so I have to retreat first and plan to ask what the situation is first."
'so smart?'
After listening to Huo Hongkai's description, Jiang Beiran was also a little surprised. You must know that he was not the only Xuansheng who came here. He could have sent out a few people to stop the black-robed man, and he could enter the city first.
But since Huo Hongkai didn't do this, it meant that even with their combined efforts, they couldn't control the man in black robe.
That's an exaggeration. The power of several mysterious saints can't control one person? Even if Huo Hongkai had concerns about not wanting to hurt the other party, then the other party was too strong.
One against four!
What kind of cultivation and fighting power is this, it is simply too strong!
No wonder Zeng Guo is said to be the most powerful among the Six Nations, yet such a monster still exists.
'But what's the point of not being able to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy...'
Now the reason why Zeng Guo's cultivators were able to survive has been found, but what's the point of this man in black robe beating everyone he sees? Could it be that he is jealous?
Don’t the people inside care about it?
In doubt, Jiang Beiran asked Huo Hongkai, "Have you contacted anyone in the city?"
"Not yet, this Piling City seems to be completely isolated by some kind of formation. People from outside can't get in, and people inside can't get out."
After listening to this, Jiang Beiran couldn't help but think of a touching plot. The man in black robe may have used some secret technique to gain such powerful power, but the price was to completely lose his mind.
There is only one thing left in my mind.
"kill!"
In order not to accidentally hurt the people in the city, he set up a large formation that completely cut off his retreat, so that there was nothing else in his eyes except Gu cultivators!
