"This Youshan Mansion is really lively!"
At the beginning of the new year, Youshan Mansion sent invitations as usual, inviting Fang Yuan and other Wuzong spiritual men and local powerful people to have a banquet at Youshan Mansion.
When I return to this Youshan City again, my senses are different again.
"Haha...Brother Xiang!"
Niu Dingtian entered the city lord's mansion with him. When he saw Xiang Zilong, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Brother Niu misses you so much!"
With that said, he stepped forward and gave the other party a bear hug.
"Thank you Brother Niu for your concern!"
Xiang Zilong's face was a little gloomy, and he forced a smile: "Just don't make any noise in this city lord's mansion. The city lord has lost a lot of people during this period..."
If we weren't close, we really wouldn't remind him like this.
Niu Dingtian's expression suddenly changed: "How could this be?"
"My Lord, your majesty is growing day by day..."
Xiang Zilong shook his head helplessly. Seeing Fang Yuan present, he obviously didn't want to say more.
"I've seen Xiang Dutong!"
Fang Yuan stepped forward to salute without taking it seriously: "I wonder where the master of the palace is?"
"The master of the palace is receiving distinguished guests in the study. Distinguished guests, please go to the main hall to have a banquet first!"
Leng Ning, the last member of the Three Capitals of Youshan, walked out and saluted Fang Yuan.
"Dignified guest?"
Fang Yuan's heart moved, his expression remained as usual, he entered the hall and immediately received many compliments.
After all, he, a young double master, has a promising future at first glance, and I don’t know how many people want to get involved with him.
…
Coincidentally, Liu Yan, the master of Youshan Palace in the study, also mentioned him.
"Hehe... I heard, Princess, that you are going to Qinghe County first. Could it be that you want to poach my man?"
Liu Yan looked at Xie Lingyun in front of him with a sneer on his face.
At this time, in front of Liu Yan, Xie Lingyun stood with his hands tied, his eyelids drooped, as if he didn't dare to take a breath.
The feeling that this Lord of Youshan Palace gave her was completely different from that of the previous young master.
Not only was it more majestic and solemn, it was even full of greed and aggression. The terrifying aura even made her speechless.
But at this moment, he was still gritting his silver teeth, and there was a hint of reluctance in his eyebrows: "Youshan Mansion is originally the land of the Xia Kingdom, and a grandmaster has emerged. Lingyun represents the royal family's condolences. Why not?"
Liu Yan hesitated.
No matter how much the Xia royal family was ostracized at this time, it was still nominally orthodox, and it was really hard to refute this.
Immediately he sneered: "It's useless to talk about this anymore. What is the purpose of the princess coming here?"
"Of course I came here to depose the war... The master of the palace wants to use troops against the Xia Yang Mansion? I wonder if he has received an order from my royal family?"
Xie Lingyun said solemnly: "If not, it is unjust and unjust. Don't blame my royal family for joining forces with the other two palaces!"
No matter how the Youshan Mansion develops at this time, the power of the two mansions plus the royal family really requires strength and righteousness, and even Liu Yan has to weigh it.
"Hmph... Then Palace Master Xia Yang is instigating dissension. He secretly started the Lu Renjia Rebellion before. I want to take revenge, why can't I do it?"
Liu Yan snorted coldly.
"There is no proof, how can I prove it?"
Xie Lingyun shook her head and said: "If the Lord of the Palace is willing to let it go, the royal family can mediate and ask Xia Yang Palace to make compensation..."
This actually means raising the bottom line and conditions, and there is also a little bit of deterrence, which can be said to be a combination of hard and soft tactics.
But Xie Lingyun still had a trace of sadness in her heart.
When did the Xia royal family decline to the point where it wanted to be the middleman among various palaces
Although he was sad in his heart, he really did not want to see civil strife in Xia. Xie Lingyun said in an elegant voice: "I wonder what kind of sincerity Palace Master Liu needs to see before he is willing to give up?"
"Is this what I'm asking you to do?"
Liu Yan stroked his beard and smiled: "Then I won't be polite...three pieces of flame jade red stone, a deep sea fire coral, the length cannot be less than three feet, ten pieces of Lieyang Heart Pills, and Millennium Fire Essence Zhi..."
"Hiss..."
Although he had known that Liu Yan would speak loudly, Xie Lingyun couldn't help but take a breath after hearing the conditions.
"Master Palace Master, you really have a big appetite... Fire jade red stone can only be found deep in the volcano. Only a martial sect can take great risks to collect it. Fire coral that is more than three feet tall is the national treasure of our Xia Kingdom, and fire coral Jingzhi and Lieyang Calming Pills are both high-level spiritual elixirs, and they are the treasures of the Master of Xia Yang Palace at the bottom of the box... "
Xie Lingyun had a wry smile on his face: "If the Palace Master only wants one of them, we might be able to negotiate, but with such a condition from the very beginning, don't you think it's too much to force someone into trouble?"
"Humph, if he doesn't give it to me, I'll take it myself!"
Liu Yan snorted coldly, and there seemed to be flames flashing on his eyebrows.
"This Liu Yan... is indeed at the peak of the Juyuan Realm, only one step away from the Tongyuan Realm..."
Others don't know, but Xie Lingyun is very clear about the mystery.
Just seeing that the things Liu Yan asked for were all high-level fire-attributed spiritual objects, we knew that he was at an extremely critical bottleneck and needed a lot of help to break through.
This makes it even more impossible to compromise.
Otherwise, given these, when the opponent successfully advances to the Tongyuan Realm, he will inevitably get a knife on the head.
But if you don't give it, there will be a lot of trouble immediately, and the other party will show off your strength and come to take it, and the same thing will happen.
This is the difference between early death and late death, which reveals helplessness.
At the same time, Xie Lingyun also knew that Liu Yan was not crazy, he was just trying to save the resources needed for a breakthrough, no matter the cost.
…
"The master of the palace and the royal envoy are here!"
In the main hall, everyone who was having a banquet heard the roll call by the master of ceremonies. They immediately stopped what they were doing and looked at the two people coming side by side.
"Haha... The new year begins again and everything is renewed. Today is the joy of the New Year and the congratulations of the royal family. You must have a few more drinks!"
Liu Yan sat down on the main seat and drank wine with a smile.
"Congratulations to the Palace Master! Congratulations to Xia Guo!"
The people below naturally followed the good and drank it all in one go.
Taking the opportunity to drink, Fang Yuan looked at the two people above him, and saw that Xie Lingyun and Liu Yan both had normal expressions. They showed no signs of happiness or anger, and did not know the outcome of the negotiation. In front of outsiders, they maintained a harmonious atmosphere between guest and host. Looks are somewhat basic.
"But if you can hide it from others, how can you hide it from me... This woman has many things on her mind, so there must be disharmony... The Xia Kingdom has been troubled since then... "
Fang Yuan sighed quietly in his heart and quickly glanced at Liu Yan.
As he sensed it, the flames around the other party became more and more intense, almost as if his divine energy was burning, and he felt even more terrified in his heart.
"Liu Yan's cultivation has taken a step further. It seems to be Lu Renjia's legacy..."
The alchemy master died, and although Fang Yuan copied a copy of the secret alchemy book, Liu Yan did not leave half of the elixirs and spiritual materials accumulated over the years to Fang Yuan, and kept them all for himself.
At this time, it seems that with the help of those magic pills, this person's cultivation has reached a higher level, as if he will break through the bottleneck of Tongyuan at any time. It is no wonder that he acts so arrogantly and domineeringly.
After all, if he really achieves Tongyuan, then Liu Yan will be the first spiritual person among several nearby countries!
Not to mention the crusade against Xia Yang Mansion, even if he destroyed the Xia Kingdom and established himself as king, there would probably not be much hindrance.
After the banquet, a maid came over to report in a low voice that the master of the palace would invite Grandmaster Fang to a gathering.
Fang Yuan lamented in his heart that "it won't be a good meeting", but he could only follow her to the study.
"My little friend is here!"
Under the bright light, Liu Yan stood with his hands behind his back, his back to Fang Yuan, as if he was admiring a painting of snow plum blossoms on the wall.
"I've met the Lord of the Palace!"
At this time, the closer the distance, the more intense the pressure the other party gave Fang Yuan, as if his divine energy began to burn.
"I see that there are some changes in my little friend's energy and energy. I think it has improved recently, which really puts us to shame!"
An advanced dream builder has taken a big step forward in the Juyuan realm, and his aura will naturally be slightly different.
It's just that Liu Yan might not be able to see it if he were replaced by the former one. Fang Yuan was even more awe-inspiring in his heart: "It's just that he has mastered another spiritual skill... The master of the palace really has a sharp eye!"
"I see!"
Liu Yan nodded.
Even he could not have imagined that Fang Yuan would reach the high level of Ju Yuan in just a short period of time, which was not far away from his current state.
And having mastered some strange spiritual arts did change the aura, so he acquiesced to Fang Yuan's statement.
"I don't know what the important thing is for the master of the palace to call me here?"
Fang Yuan leaned slightly and asked.
"Little friends, don't you realize that since Lu Renjia's death, we have developed many different identities?"
Seeing this, Liu Yan seemed to have a faint bitter smile on his lips: "It's not just you, even my subordinates are like this. Only Taoist Muli can still have a heart-to-heart relationship with me..."
As soon as he said this, Fang Yuan suddenly felt a little wary and a little surprised.
"Unexpectedly, Taoist Muli is actually the person Liu Yan trusts the most at this time... Wait a minute, a traitor is as loyal as a traitor, a traitor as loyal as a traitor, how many of the easy ones can become spiritual warriors?"
He immediately became more suspicious of Taoist Muli.
"My government intends to invade Xia Yang, and I will ask my friends to help me this time as well!"
However, Liu Yan directly made the request without waiting for Fang Yuan to speak.
"I'm afraid that I have little talent and little knowledge..."
Fang Yuan shook his head and declined politely.
Only when he was crazy would he follow Liu Yan and become the enemy of the entire Xia Kingdom.
Unless Liu Yan breaks through the Tongyuan realm at this time, there is still something to consider.
"Um?"
Liu Yan raised his eyebrows and turned around suddenly. Fang Yuan suddenly felt a huge pressure rushing towards his face, like a towering mountain.
"I'm Xianyun Yehe, if the palace master has nothing else to do, I'll take my leave first!"
But Fang Yuan was not afraid at all.
He is skilled in both magic and martial arts. At this time, the spiritual warrior has reached the high level of Juyuan Realm. Even if he cannot defeat Liu Yan, he will definitely be able to run away!
The Iron Feathered Black Eagle is right above the City Lord's Mansion, waiting at any moment!
Since there is a way out, it is natural to look down without fear.
"If you are willing to help me, little friend, I will repay you with my position as the master of the palace when things are done!"
Liu Yan obviously felt this, and knew that forcing relatives with power would be a bad idea, so he immediately made conditions.
"Um?"
Fang Yuan was startled: "Since the palace master has no intention of gaining power, why does he have to start a war?"
"Wherever the Tao is, even if there are thousands of people, I will go there!"
Liu Yan answered decisively.
