"Yi Tianxing? I really think I've heard of him and have some memories of him."
When Cai Yong heard Yi Tianxing's introduction, he immediately hesitated. He felt very familiar with this name. It was definitely not the first time he heard it. He must have heard it somewhere before, and he had a very deep impression of it.
"At the beginning of the Eternal Continent, Yi Tianxing was the master of Xuanhuang Village. You are the Yi Tianxing who founded the village."
Cai Yong pondered for a moment. After becoming a cultivator, his memory was many times stronger than before. As soon as he thought about it, he remembered where he had heard the name Yi Tianxing before.
Although there are quite a lot of people with the same name.
But when I heard it, I still subconsciously thought of the person who built the village.
"Yes, but now it is not Xuanhuang Village, but Xuanhuang City. Now, I am the lord of a city. The surrounding villages and towns all follow the lead of Xuanhuang City. The population of Xuanhuang City alone has reached more than one million. The surrounding areas have reached tens of millions. The territory of ten thousand miles is all within the range of influence."
When Yi Tianxing saw that Cai Yong had guessed his identity, he did not hide it and admitted it openly. After all, if he didn't say it now, people would know it sooner or later. It would be bad to conceal it deliberately.
"What? Brother Yi is actually the lord of a city, and the territory he governs is as large as tens of thousands of miles and tens of millions of people. In the past, wouldn't this be equivalent to a dynasty?"
When Lin Hai heard this, he couldn't help but gasp.
In the past, if a country had a population of tens of millions, it was possible to establish a dynasty and start a country.
This identity can be regarded as a hegemon.
In the entire Eternal Continent, among the human race, they are all top overlords.
He couldn't help but be shocked by this. What was even more unexpected was that such a person, who should be the son of a wealthy family, should not stay in office, but he actually appeared here and took the risk himself. Obviously, it was definitely not the reason he had said before, that he had accidentally entered the valley.
"It turned out to be Lord Yi. As a Lord, he cannot travel casually. His appearance here is either accidental or he has a purpose. He may have known in advance that there is Jixia Academy here and came here specifically for this."
As a great scholar, Cai Yong was no less intelligent than anyone else. After becoming a monk, his talent was transformed into cultivation, and his mind became clear and his eyes became bright. He could understand many things as long as he thought about them.
How could a city lord who holds such high position of power just wander around in the wilderness for no reason? If you really think so, it is simply an insult to your own intelligence.
"That's right. However, before this, I didn't know that this was the Jixia Academy. I just got the news that there was an academy in this valley. Needless to say, I didn't have the strength before. But now I think with the strength in my hands, I can do something, such as rescuing the students in the academy." Yi Tianxing said calmly.
"You want the students in Jixia Academy to join your forces, join Xuanhuang City, and serve you."
Cai Yong said decisively.
There seemed to be a look of disgust towards power politics in his eyes.
"My father-in-law is not easy to persuade. He actually has an instinctive resistance to serving in the government. In history, he has served in government before. How could this happen? Could it be that he has seen through the filthiness of the officialdom and has a resistance to serving in government?"
When Yi Tianxing saw this, a thought secretly arose in his mind.
The intrigues in the officialdom are inevitable, but Yi Tianxing asked himself, in Xuanhuang City, this kind of struggle is not non-existent, but in its infancy. Now is not the time to fight for power internally, especially, what he wants to establish is not an ordinary dynasty, but the Tiandiyun Dynasty. The struggle within his own forces must be maintained within certain limits.
He would never allow such things as crazy party strife.
After thinking it over in his heart, he said without hesitation: "It's not for my use. The purpose of my coming this time is just to rescue the many elites of the human race in the Jixia Academy. The human race has suffered many disasters, and the elites in the academy should not be lost if possible. Any one of them is a precious wealth of the human race in the future. As for whether you are willing to join my Xuanhuang City, I, Yi Tianxing, will never force you. If you are willing, I, Yi Tianxing, will welcome you. If you are not willing, Xuanhuang City will let you come and go. I will never force anyone to join me."
A forced melon is not sweet. There are countless real talents in the world. Even if you force yourself to stay, if your heart is not here, it will not only fail to work, but will bring harm to the entire system. Yi Tianxing never wants to do such a thing.
There have always been many precedents for this in ancient times.
For example, during the Three Kingdoms period, Xu Shu was like this.
Cao Cao tricked Xu Shu into leaving with his mother and brought him under his command, but Xu Shu never said a word or offered any advice under Cao Cao's command, a typical example of working without putting in any effort. When Pang Tong offered the idea of connecting the boats with iron chains, Xu Shu had already seen the hidden dangers, but he did not speak out. Such a person, even if he was under Cao Cao's command, would be useless and would be a waste of resources.
Having learned from previous experience, Yi Tianxing is not the kind of person who would force others to do things, so he naturally would not force it too much.
"In this case, I have wrongly blamed City Lord Yi."
When Cai Yong heard this, the expression on his face looked much better.
With his ability, he could naturally tell that these words were not false, but were indeed true and came from Yi Tianxing's heart.
To be honest, he had never expected that a city lord would come to rescue him. Judging from his words and actions, his character was among the best among the people he had seen. It was rare for ordinary leaders to have such character.
"Come, please take a seat over here so we can discuss this matter."
Cai Yong nodded and gestured.
Yi Tianxing did not refuse and followed him into the pavilion.
"I wonder if the city lord has any way to help the students in the academy get out of trouble. You know, there are already tens of thousands of people in the academy, and the valley is surrounded by aliens, making it impossible to get out. They have also set up a formation to cut off the inside and outside, making it difficult to leave. If we can't break the formation, even with thousands of troops, it will be difficult to break through the alien defense line."
Cai Yong said thoughtfully.
If possible, he naturally didn't want to cause any harm to the students in the academy. In fact, he had no other choice.
"I have a way to get everyone out of here, and even the ruins of the entire Jixia Academy can be taken away with us."
Yi Tianxing took a deep breath and said decisively.
"any solution?"
There was a hint of disbelief in Cai Yong's eyes.
"Come out here, little thief. Get out here now."
At this moment, a burst of cold and angry shouting suddenly came from outside the academy. The voice was so cold that it seemed to freeze the entire air. The anger and murderous intent contained in it could be heard by anyone.
"Oh no, trouble is here."
The moment he heard it, Yi Tianxing felt a bitterness in his heart and his face became extremely ugly.
"It's the Snake Queen."
When Cai Yong heard this, a hint of solemnity flashed across his eyes. He was naturally familiar with the Snake Queen.
The Snake Queen was very difficult to deal with. If it weren't for the restrictions of the sages in the academy that prevented the Snake Queen from entering, I'm afraid even he wouldn't be a match for the Snake Queen. That strength was too terrifying.
In the realm of life, he is one of the most powerful ones.
"Lord Yi, have you ever met a snake queen?" Cai Yong looked at Yi Tianxing and asked. In fact, to some extent, this was already a very affirmative tone.
With the character of the Snake Queen, she actually shouted loudly outside. This was not an ordinary thing. This had never happened before, and the only possibility was that Yi Tianxing provoked the Snake Queen. What's more, what happened, otherwise, the Snake Queen would not have become so furious.
"When I entered the valley earlier, I accidentally ran into the Snake Queen and something happened. I'm afraid the Snake Queen is going to come after me and call me to account."
Yi Tianxing shook his head and smiled bitterly, feeling a little uneasy.
The person in front of me is my father-in-law. If he knew that something unspeakable happened between me and the Snake Queen, I'm afraid he would change his face on the spot.
"Go out and take a look."
Cai Yong glanced at Yi Tianxing and instinctively felt that there might be something hidden in his words, but he did not delve into it. He immediately stood up and said, "This is the Jixia Academy, which is protected by the power of saints. Even the Snake Queen cannot break through the defense of the academy. I want to see how the Snake Queen can act rampantly in my Jixia Academy."
As he spoke, he walked straight outside.
"It's the Snake Queen. The Snake Queen has arrived. These aliens are not giving up. They really want to kill us. They come to provoke us again and again."
"Humph, what are you afraid of? No matter how loudly these aliens threaten us, they can't even think of breaking into the academy. We are absolutely safe here. We are not afraid of any aliens."
"The Snake Queen is an unrivaled beauty. If we didn't know she was the Snake Queen, I'm afraid no one would not be tempted. She is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. What a pity! As soon as I thought she was a snake, my heart went cold. Snakes are cold by nature."
In the academy, a large number of students were alarmed.
They all came out from various places and walked towards the entrance of the academy.
There was no fear on anyone's face.
For more than a year, the aliens tried countless methods but were still unable to enter the academy. This kind of defense has been tested by time.
"If it's a blessing, it's not a disaster. If it's a disaster, it can't be avoided. Now that it's here, there's no reason to back down."
Yi Tianxing also took a deep breath in his heart, no longer hesitating, and had to face what he had to face. Even if it was the Snake Queen, even if she had taken advantage of him before, it was an accident. There was no need to be shy about this kind of thing.
I was certain in my heart, and my steps suddenly became easier.
Every step is firm and powerful.
After a while, he had returned to the place where he had entered the academy.
Looking closely, one can clearly see that outside the academy, in the fog, a large number of snake people are coldly surrounding the academy.
