"Why are you here?"

Looking at the panting Lin Yuyan, Jiang Beiran asked.

Pointing to the Baiwu Sword, Lin Yuyan replied, "It was Xiao'er who flew out suddenly, and I chased it all the way here."

"Xiao'er?" Jiang Beiran glanced at Bai Wujian and asked.

"Well, this is the name I gave it, Lin Xiao."

Resisting the urge to complain, Jiang Beiran grabbed the handle of the White Wu Sword and returned it to Lin Yuyan, saying, "Take it."

"Thank you, brother."

Catching the white mist sword, Lin Yuyan just wanted to insert it back into the scabbard, when she saw it return to the senior brother with a jerk, and it was still hanging on the waist, pretending to be the senior brother's sword.

Glancing at the Baiwu sword on his waist, Jiang Beiran looked at Lin Yuyan and asked, "It doesn't obey your orders?"

"That's not true. It's usually quite obedient. This time it's probably because of senior brother that Xiao'er is disobedient."

"You are the master of the White Mist Sword. If it doesn't even listen to your words, how will you control it in the future?"

Lin Yuyan said helplessly after hearing this: "There is no way, brother, you also know that it is too powerful, and I can't force it to order..."

Jiang Beiran has only heard that the magic weapon can help the master better after it is activated, but he did not expect that there is a situation where the magic weapon grows stronger than the master.

'It seems that having too strong magic weapon is not necessarily a good thing. '

Remembering this, Jiang Beiran looked at the Baiwu sword on his waist again and said, "Go back to your master."

However, the Baiwu sword remained motionless, acting as if I was just an ordinary iron sword that couldn't understand human language.

Seeing that it didn't make sense, Jiang Beiran had no choice but to reach out and grab the hilt of the sword and throw it to Lin Yuyan.

But when the Baiwu sword was thrown into the air, it flew back to Jiangbeiran's waist with a "swish", continuing to pretend that nothing happened.

'Hey… '

There are ten thousand ways to deter Jiang Bei, but there is really no way to deal with a rogue sword, let's be reasonable, he is a sword, what reason do you have with it? Come on, after all, it was built by yourself, can it really be broken

Sighing, Jiang Beiran picked up the white mist sword and asked, "Want to follow me?"

With a sound of "buzz", the Baiwu Sword uttered a sword cry, as if expressing joyful emotions.

At this time, Lin Yuyan said: "Brother, Xiao'er must have missed you so much to be like this, as long as I stay by your side for a while, it will be fine."

Glancing at Bai Wujian, Jiang Beiran was about to speak when he saw three options popping up.

[Option 1: Take Lin Yuyan to Liang Guo. Completion Reward: Azure Dragon Spirit Code (Earth-level low-grade)]

[Option 2: Force Bai Wujian to follow Lin Yuyan back. Completion Reward: Peach Blossom Demon Spectrum (Mysterious Grade Middle Grade)]

[Option 3: Leave the White Mist Sword behind and let Lin Yuyan go back. Completion reward: random basic attribute point +1]

Looking at the three options, Jiang Beiran was a little stunned. He didn't expect that taking Lin Yuyan would be such a dangerous thing.

At the same time, he also realized one thing, that is, his smooth sailing in Sheng Country was not just the reason for his improvement in strength.

After he returned to Sheng country this time, no matter who he came into contact with, he didn't skip many options. This was in stark contrast to the past when he could trigger more than a dozen options when he just visited a village.

And this is certainly not only because he has become stronger, but also because he now knows almost all the giants in Sheng country, and his network of relationships is enough to cover the entire Sheng country, so no matter whether it is open or dark, there are people in Sheng who can pose a threat to him. are already few and far between.

This means that even if Liang Guo's comprehensive strength is similar to that of Sheng Guo, it doesn't mean that he will go smoothly to Liang Guo. The option that Lin Yuyan jumped out is a precursor.

After choosing three, Jiang Beiran picked up the white mist sword and said, "Oh, I really can't do anything about you."

Lin Yuyan was overjoyed when she heard that, and was about to go up to get the sword, when she saw her senior brother hanging the sword on his waist and said to her: "In that case, leave the Baiwu sword with me for a while, and return it to you when I come back."

[Optional mission completed, reward: Spirit +1]

Seeing the system reward jumping out, Jiang Beiran took the auspicious cloud and flew into the air.

"Um!?"

"Um!!??"

Seeing Xiangyun leaving quickly, Lin Yuyan shouted: "Xiao'er, follow the plan! Follow the plan!"

However, until Xiangyun completely disappeared from her sight, Baiwujian did not respond to her call.

"traitor!!!"

Thinking of Lin Xiao happily rubbing back and forth on his senior brother, a wave of evil spirit gushed out from Lin Yuyan's body.

'Lin... Xiao... hee hee, hee hee...'

Slowly condensing the gushing evil spirit back, Lin Yuyan showed a sinister smile.

"Do you think you were sent to me by senior brother, so I can't do anything to you..." Lin Yuyan held her chin with her right hand, bit her little finger lightly, and smiled, "It seems that we have to confirm the relationship between master and servant."

Because of the constant friction between Sheng State and Liang State recently, the guards at the gates between the two countries are also very strict. However, compared to Qi State’s large formation to protect the country, the checkpoints between Sheng State and Liang State are like playing house. Jiang Bei passed easily without any effort.

Flying on the land of Liang State, Jiang Beiran's biggest feeling is desolation, and there are endless deserts everywhere.

Although Jiang Beiran knew such information in the report, he was still quite shocked when he actually witnessed it with his own eyes.

'Sure enough, the poorer the place, the more people like to make troubles. '

With a sigh in his heart, Jiang Beiran spread out the map and flew towards the address given by Li Fucheng.

In Pingshu County and Quan'an County, Zhou Guican, who had just returned by shuttle, came to a compound.

"See Deputy Chief Helmsman."

"Brother Guican, hello."

"Deputy chief helmsman, Lin Xiangzhu received a tip-off, saying that please come over when you are free."

After responding to everyone one by one, Zhou Guican stepped into the Juyi Hall.

"Hey, Brother Zhou, you're back." Tang Tingshuang, who was cleaning the chair, was pleasantly surprised.

"Let me tell you, Sister Shuang, you left the rough work to those servants, why did you do it yourself again?"

Tang Tingshuang replied while continuing to wipe the chair: "I'm used to it, besides, I have always been the young master's maidservant, and I should do all these things."

"Hey, let Fucheng hear your words and he should say you again." Zhou Guican said while picking up a rag to wipe the table.

"Hey! Brother Zhou, put it down, I'll do it."

"Okay, if you can do it, I can't do it?" Avoiding Tang Tingshuang's hands grabbing the rag, Zhou Guican continued to wipe the table and asked, "By the way, where is our chief helmsman?"

Tang Tingshuang shook his head after listening, "The young master has been very mysterious these days, always going out early in the morning and coming back very late, and he wouldn't say anything when asked what he was doing."

"So weird?" Zhou Guican couldn't help frowning.

"Yes." Tang Tingshuang nodded worriedly, "Brother Zhou, you know him well, why don't you ask him?"

After hearing this, Zhou Guican put down the rag in his hand and nodded, "Okay, I'll go out and look for him right away."

"Hey, go quickly, just leave it to me here."

After wiping his hands clean, Zhou Guican walked out of the Juyi Hall and ran towards the west.

After passing through several streets and over a hill, Zhou Guican climbed up a high mountain.

"You are indeed here."

Zhou Guican looked at Li Fucheng who was looking at the sky in the center of the open space and shouted.

Hearing Zhou Guican's shout, Li Fucheng turned his head and smiled and said, "I'm back, have you heard the news?"

"Hey, don't mention it." Zhou Guican sighed helplessly, and quickly walked to Li Fucheng's side, "Have you got any wine?"

He took out an altar of cloud dew wine from the Qiankun ring and handed it to Zhou Guican, Li Fucheng asked, "What trouble did you encounter?"

Taking the wine jar and gulping it into his mouth a few gulps, Zhou Guican let out a mouthful of alcohol and said, "It's weird too, it's such a big deal, I just couldn't find anyone who could ask me some news , usually all of them seem to be inquiring about Bao, but this time, let me all spread my hands."

"The weirder things are, the more precious the treasure is. Since we can't find out any news, we two will go directly to Crescent Moon Valley to have a look."

"Ah!?" Zhou Guican exclaimed, "You're getting fat, now Zhenyuanzong, Wujizhai, and Canglei Sect have all gone there, and we little shrimps are still making trouble here. Okay, don’t you run there to deliver food?”

"Don't worry, I have my own way."

"Okay, listen to you."

If it were changed before, Zhou Guican would still argue with Li Fucheng, but now he is already looking forward to Li Fucheng. Ever since he met the emperor of Sheng Kingdom who he called "Big Brother Wang", he has become more and more serious. He became more and more assertive, and all aspects became mature at an extremely fast speed.

Of course, the most exaggerated one is cultivation.

More than a year ago, when this kid came back, he suddenly said that he had worshiped a Xuanzun as his teacher, which made him stunned for a while.

After all, Xuanzong is a top powerhouse no matter in Sheng Kingdom or Liang Kingdom. Being able to worship a Xuanzong as a teacher is enough to let you walk sideways in the country, but Li Fucheng actually told him that he worshiped a Xuanzong who is stronger than Xuanzong. Respect as a teacher sounds like a fantasy.

But then Li Fucheng immediately used his astonishing improvement speed to prove that he was not lying. In just one year, he broke through to King Xuan in one fell swoop. The speed is so fast that I don’t know how many geniuses he has crushed. It can be said that he has refreshed again and again Zhou Guican's cognition of the speed of cultivation base improvement.

In addition, not only his cultivation base, Li Fucheng's attainment in formations has also improved by leaps and bounds. They have relied on the formations he set up in advance to survive several times.

"Google, gurgle, gurgle..."

After drinking a few more mouthfuls of Yunlu Nong, Zhou Guican shrugged his shoulders and said: "But what are you doing so mysteriously these two days? I heard that Shuangmei is worried about you."

"Brother Wang is coming."

Hearing this answer, Zhou Guican immediately understood everything, because he was very aware of the weight of that "Brother Wang" in Li Fucheng's heart.

"I see. No wonder you didn't tell anyone, but speaking of it, it's been almost two years since we left Sheng Country. Time flies so fast."

If it is said that when Zhou Guican first came to Liang State, Zhou Guican would occasionally miss his home and sect, but he forgot all about it after a while. In fact, the practitioners in Liang State are all talents, and they fight fiercely. For Zhou Guican who loves to find others to learn For Gui Can, I just want to say one thing.

'Love it here. '

In addition, most of the Tianxiahui brothers who came here are also like this. It is impossible to be cowardly. If you meet, you will do it. If you can't do it, you will call someone.

"Yeah, time is really fast."

While feeling emotional, Li Fucheng suddenly showed a surprised expression, because Suo Lingzhen caught a familiar breath coming towards him.

Quickly tidying up his clothes, Li Fucheng looked at Zhou Guican and said, "Your Majesty is here, don't be rude later."

Zhou Guican's expression became serious when he heard it, and he nodded seriously, "Don't worry, I understand."

After a while, an auspicious cloud fell in front of the two of them. Jiang Beiran jumped off the cloud, glanced at Li Fucheng, and then at Zhou Guican who was standing behind him.

Although he only met Zhou Guican once, Jiang Beiran could see that Li Fucheng attached great importance to this friend, he should be the right-handed kind, otherwise he wouldn't be here.

"See Your Majesty!"

Li Fucheng and Zhou Guican saluted at the same time.

Jiang Beiran looked at Li Fucheng and said without correcting the two of them, "I hope what you tell me later won't disappoint me."

After hearing this, Li Fucheng immediately cupped his hands and said loudly: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty."

Nodding, Jiang Beiran glanced around, and took out a compass from the Qiankun Ring.

After searching around, Jiang Beiran praised: "This Suo Ling formation is quite good, and now your formation can be regarded as entering the room."

After hearing this, Li Fucheng hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is absurd, I still have many shortcomings in the formation, and I still have many questions that I want to ask Your Majesty for advice."

"Since you have a master, why should you ask me for advice? This is against the rules."

"Your Majesty's lesson is that it is Fucheng who is ignorant."

"Okay, take me first to see what you are looking for me for."

"Yes! Your Majesty, please."

Following Li Fucheng all the way to a small town, Jiang Beiran listened to Li Fucheng describe the various things they did in Liang Guo.

To sum it up simply, it's just two words.

Fight!

In Liang Guo, no matter whether you are talking about reason or interests with others, you will only be looked down upon. Only when you convince the other party can you continue to talk about many things.

"By the way, I still have something to report to Brother Wang."

Walking in the small town with people coming and going, Li Fucheng whispered.

"What is it?"

"A while ago, many powerful people from the Liang Kingdom gathered in a place called Crescent Moon Valley. Because I haven't found out what they are doing, I didn't mention it to you in the letter."

'Many strong men? '

There are nothing more than two things that can make the strong gather. One is to grab the territory, and the other is to grab the treasure. If it is to grab the territory, Li Fucheng will definitely not tell him specifically, so naturally he is going to grab the treasure.

"As far as you know, how many strong people have gone?"

"A total of seven major forces, three Xuanzongs, and seven Xuanhuang peaks."

Jiang Beiran nodded: "It seems that there is indeed a treasure to be born."

The reason why Jiang Beiran thinks so is not because there are so many strong people gathered, but because those Xuanhuang who are in the peak realm even risk their lives to compete with Xuanzong for the treasure, which shows how attractive this treasure is.
