For relatives and friends, Xia Yan mostly has a gentle attitude. But against the enemy. Xia Yan was never weak. Xia Yan really doesn't like killing. Although his strength is getting stronger and stronger enough to dominate one side, Xia Yan will not bully anyone with his own strength. But if some people provoke Xia Yan recklessly, then Xia Yan will not show mercy to his subordinates now.
Xia Yan will also find a way to eradicate any threats to his relatives and friends.
In the Zhang family of Jinyang City, Xia Yan never forgot this potential threat. However, there is the Xun family behind the Zhang family, and Xia Yan is also worried that if he does something to the Zhang family, it may cause the Xun family to be unfavorable to the Xia family. The energy of the Xia family is still not enough to compete with the Xun family, so Xia Yan has to temporarily compromise for the benefit of the family.
"Xia Yan, you have to prepare for the challenge the day after tomorrow! Although I supported you in front of those deacons just now, they didn't dare to oppose me on the surface, and they didn't know what they would do behind the scenes. I guess, they will definitely find a way Find some strong practitioners to challenge you!" The Holy Emperor pondered for a moment, then reminded Xia Yan.
The day after tomorrow, Xia Yan will accept the challenge, and only by winning the challenge can Xia Yan officially become the Lord of the Temple. The rule of the master of the main city to accept his fate has lasted for thousands of years. The Holy Emperor can't just break these rules. Moreover, there is no need to destroy it.
"I know, the day after tomorrow, I will let those people know my strength!" Xia Yan said confidently with his eyes fixed and his palms clenched into fists.
After leaving the Holy City, Xia Yan returned to Ziyue City to be with Yuan Shan. Yuan Shan didn't have any martial arts skills, and he didn't have a master to protect him, so Xia Yan was not at ease. If some people make small moves behind their backs, then Yuan Shan will be very dangerous. Just in case, Xia Yan spent as much time as possible with Yuan Shan.
When the Xia family entered Ziyue City, Yuan Shan would be protected by the family, and ordinary people would not be able to harm Yuan Shan. Yuan Shan can also be with Xiaoqing, and with the earth dog protecting her, even a strong person in the spirit sect realm cannot easily hurt the two girls.
…
Patriarch Xun, Patriarch He, Patriarch Liang, and Hall Master Wang gathered together soon after they left the Golden Dragon Hall. The sudden appearance of the Holy Emperor caught them all by surprise. The Holy Emperor's support for Xia Yan was far beyond their imagination, and the Holy Emperor had such a clear attitude.
This situation has never happened before.
In the past, Tiangong practitioners were chased and killed after leaving the holy mountain, but the Holy Emperor never personally came forward to help those Tiangong practitioners.
It can be seen from this that Xia Yan's position in the heart of the Holy Emperor is extraordinary.
The head of the five major forces in the holy city. There are four people gathered here, and they are discussing who to choose to challenge Xia Yan and compete for the Temple Master of Ziyue City.
Of course, these four people all hope that the new Ziyue City Temple Master is their own person and can be used by them. Among the five leaders, only the head of the Chang family was absent.
Based on the relationship between Liu Yun and the Chang family, after Xia Yan served as the master of the Ziyue City Temple, it must be of great benefit to the Chang family. At least, Xia Yan won't make things difficult for the Chang family. Therefore, the Chang family is happy to see Xia Yan as the master of the Ziyue City Temple.
The other four were not so happy. Especially the Xun family and the He family, they knew very well that if Xia Yan served as the master of the Ziyue City Temple, he would definitely not cooperate with them. For the interests of Ziyue City, they may not even have the possibility to reach out in the future. Moreover, seeing how much the Holy Emperor attaches importance to Xia Yan, Xia Yan might become a deacon of the Holy Land in the future...
This palace master must not let Xia Yan go.
"I really don't understand, Lord Saint Emperor, why you value that Xia Yan so much!" Patriarch Xun shook his head with a puzzled expression. Xia Yan didn't give him any face in the Holy Land Council Hall today, which made him feel like a big stone is blocked in his heart. Xia Yan has become a knot in his heart!
"Hmph, what's so hard to understand?!" Patriarch He snorted coldly, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, "Xia Yan is only seventeen years old this year, but at the age of seventeen, he has the ability to compete with the peak Lingzong." Strength. What is the meaning of Tiangong's existence? Isn't Tiangong just to select the best practitioners?!"
"Xia Yan's cultivation speed is so terrifying, of course the Holy Emperor paid special attention to it!" Patriarch He said in a deep voice with a flash of his eyes.
"That's right, the Holy Emperor encourages practitioners on the mainland to work hard to improve their strength. Practitioners in the Tiangong can get the most cultivation resources. The Tiangong has a cultivation tower, a devil formation, and a Yuhuachi. These resources are all It can make the strength of the cultivator grow by leaps and bounds." Hall Master Wang's palm slid lightly on the round table, and said in an unhurried voice.
"No matter what, we can't let Xia Yan become the master of the Ziyue City Temple, Ziyue City is too important!" Patriarch Xun said with a heavy breath and a gloomy face.
"Hehe, the four of us gathered here, isn't that what we are talking about? The day after tomorrow is the date of the challenge. Let's hurry up and decide on the candidate for the master of Ziyue City, and then immediately notify the selected person, and challenge that Xia Yan the day after tomorrow." !” Patriarch He said.
"The person selected must be very strong, at least the strength of the peak spirit sect. If not, he must not be Xia Yan's opponent. Xia Yan can fight against the deputy suzerain and eight veterans of Dongji alone. The strength is unimaginable. But , Xia Yan's realm is only the mid-stage Spirit Sect, we can take advantage of this. If his realm reaches the late-stage Spirit Sect, it will be difficult for practitioners below the Spirit Emperor Realm on the entire Dragon Continent to find a few who can defeat him It's dead." Patriarch Liang pursed his lower lip and said.
"Let me recommend someone!" Hall Master Wang glanced at the other three and said, "The person I recommend is Song Yuqi. You should all have heard of him, right?!"
"Oh? Song Yuqi?!"
"Hallmaster Wang, you are really powerful, even Song Yuqi, a monster, has been won over by you!"
"Tsk tsk, Hall Master Wang's methods are getting more and more sophisticated. We didn't even get any news about Song Yuqi's joining Biqingtang."
The faces of the three patriarchs changed slightly. When they heard this name, they couldn't help being shocked.
Song Yuqi was famous in the Dragon Continent thirty years ago, thirty years ago. He is already the peak spirit sect, and he is not very old, he is only sixty or seventy years old now, and it is very likely that he will break through to the realm of the spirit emperor.
"Hehe, Song Yuqi should be sure of dealing with Xia Yan!" Hall Master Wang chuckled.
"Hallmaster Wang, this Song Yuqi belongs to you. Even if he defeats Xia Yan and becomes the new Palace Master of Ziyue City, it will not be good for us." Patriarch He said with a smile.
If Song Yuqi becomes the master of the Ziyue City Temple, he will naturally serve Biqingtang. For their other families, Song Yuqi will definitely not buy it.
Originally, Patriarch Xun, Patriarch He, and Patriarch Liang all wanted to recommend someone in their hands, but upon hearing Song Yuqi's name, the hearts of the three patriarchs were a little shaken.
None of the people they could recommend could compare with Song Yuqi.
Among the four major families in the holy city, the only ones who could compare with Song Yuqi's strength were the elders of those families. However, is it necessary for the elders of the family to participate in the competition for the position of the Lord of the Temple of Ziyue City
The elders of the four major families are all over a hundred years old, so it is obviously not suitable to compete for the master of the Ziyue City Temple now.
But if they want to give up the right to recommend, they will definitely not be reconciled.
"Three, what do you guys mean?!" Hall Master Wang said calmly, with a slight smile on his face.
"It's not impossible for us to recommend Song Yuqi!" Patriarch Liang's eyes flashed, and his tone changed a lot, "Hallmaster Wang's Biqingtang has many treasures that we have coveted for a long time. Hallmaster Wang, why don't you take out some treasures?" case, how about we all support Song Yuqi?!"
Hearing Patriarch Liang's words, Patriarch Xun and Patriarch He also nodded secretly in their hearts.
Let Wang Huayu take out some benefits and distribute them to everyone, so that everyone will be happy. Although he lost the qualification to compete for the master of the Ziyue City Temple, he did not return empty-handed.
"I, Biqingtang, have only been established for thirty years. How can I compare with the families of your three patriarchs? Even if I take out something, I'm afraid it really won't catch everyone's eyes. However, I do have something in my hand. The three patriarchs should be more interested." Wang Huayu shook his head first, and when he heard Wang Huayu's previous words, the three patriarchs all looked ugly. But when they heard the next sentence, the eyes of the three people suddenly lit up.
"I have some power of gold. This power of gold is a good thing. After using it, the strength increases greatly in a short period of time, and there are no side effects. It's not as good. I give three bottles of power of gold to each of the three patriarchs. How about the patriarch supporting my recommender Song Yuqi?!" Wang Huayu said with a smile, looking at the three patriarchs.
"What? The power of gold?!" The three patriarchs were a little surprised. This Wang Huayu was really generous. Each of them divided three bottles, adding up, that's nine bottles.
The patriarchs of the three major families naturally knew the preciousness of the power of gold. Extracting the power of gold is very cumbersome, and only a god-level blacksmith can successfully extract it with a lot of energy. It takes about 10 million gold coins to raise a bottle of gold power. In other words, not counting the cost of the god-level blacksmith, the gold coins used alone cost 10 million.
The gold coins that were extracted from the power of gold were all turned into scrap iron. The power of nine bottles of gold, that is about 90 million gold coins!
"That's right, it's the power of gold. If the three patriarchs agree, each of them can get three bottles of power of gold now. I, Wang Huayu, don't like procrastination. If the three patriarchs nod, then it's a deal. If we disagree, then the four of us have no choice but to recommend one person each, and then let the person we recommend compete for the master of the Ziyue City Temple based on their ability."
Wang Huayu directly stated his bottom line. If you agree with it, it's best. If you don't agree, then each of you can fight according to your own ability.
