The thin yellow leaves poke out of the wicker, the dense needles of pines and cypresses are covered with new green, the buds sprout on the crabapple tree, and the poplar tree becomes taller and taller.
The spring breeze blows across the lake, trees, pavilions and lawns.
In early spring, the scenery of Hidden Dragon Sea is picturesque. Everywhere is full of vitality, and the spring scenery is endless and beautiful.
The Hidden Dragon Sea is the general name for the Hidden Sea and the Dragon Sea. It is said to be a sea, but in fact it is just a small lake with clear water. In this center of power in Central Continent, which is filled with solemnity and solemnity everywhere, this lake called the sea can Said to be the softest place, on the boating lake, even the greatest pressure seems to disappear without a trace.
Morning time.
At the junction of the Hidden Sea and the Dragon Sea, two simple boats floated aimlessly with the water waves. Gu Xingyun, the Lord of Kunlun City, known as the God of War in Zhongzhou, was sitting in the boat with a fishing rod in his hand, his expression calm and gentle.
Gu Xingyun is in his fifties, with gray hair and elegant appearance. His figure is not very strong and burly. His whole body does not seem to have the arrogant and fierce aura of the God of War. No matter when viewed from a distance or up close, he is... A middle-aged man who looked extremely elegant and gentle, calm and calm, but in a daze, he gave everyone an unfathomable feeling.
He put down the fishing rod in his hand, took out a cigarette, lit it and took a puff. The smoke drifted and fell casually into the lake. Gu Xingyun quietly observed the spring-filled Hidden Dragon Sea around him with a gentle smile. Feeling relaxed and happy.
Who would have thought that at the decision-making bureau meeting held last night, the Central Continent God of War was jointly attacked by the three major groups, and was almost unable to step down
On another wooden boat next to Gu Xingyun, a one-eyed man with a ferocious appearance, even ugly, was constantly observing Gu Xingyun's reaction. Seeing the smile on the God of War's face, he subconsciously stretched out his arms. He took action, touched his very eye-catching bald head, and said helplessly: "Your Highness, are you just going to let them do whatever they want?"
"Um?"
Gu Xingyun, who seemed to have been thinking alone, raised his eyebrows slightly. This elegant old man with a prominent and powerful status had no edge. The casual raising of his eyebrows suddenly gave him a hint of mature charm.
He took a puff of cigarette and said with a smile: "What's the point of Feng Bo?"
Ancient storm.
One of the deputy city lords of Kunlun City, and Gu Xingyun's most important right-hand man in the Hidden Dragon Sea. His appearance is ugly. After losing an eye in a fierce battle many years ago, he looks even more sinister, making people think of him at first sight. He who should be kept at a distance seems to have changed his personality because of his appearance. He behaves surly and ruthlessly, and he likes to take the wrong approach. Especially in recent years, as his strength has surpassed the peak of the Thunder Realm, he has stayed between the perfection of the Thunder Realm and half-step invincibility. After a while, his behavior became even more arrogant, and he was notorious in the special warfare system. He was the most famous mad dog around Gu Xingyun, the kind that would bite anyone he saw, and would not let go until he could not kill him.
Gu Xingyun has always acted very steadily since he became the God of War in Central Continent. He cooperates with Gu Fengbo, who is surly and ruthless, and can even be regarded as a golden partner.
The friendship and tacit understanding over the years also meant that Gu Fengbo had never been alienated from Gu Xingyun. He shook the fishing rod in his hand and said coldly: "Who does Zhuang Huayang mean? He is an old man who doesn't even consider his own weight. Dare to challenge His Highness? Does he really think that he is still the same person he was five years ago? Your Highness, I am going to challenge Zhuang Huayang and find an opportunity to kill him. The worst I can do is to destroy him, which is equivalent to teaching others a lesson. This time If we don’t take a stand on this matter, all kinds of cats and dogs will jump out and bother us in the future, so let’s take this opportunity to scare the monkeys.”
Gu Xingyun didn't speak, but seemed to be moving. He thought about it for five minutes, then shook his head slightly and said with a smile: "Principal Zhuang is not a chicken. Five years ago, you would have been no match for him."
"I just reached the peak of the Thunder Realm five years ago, so naturally I am no match for him."
Gu Fengbo looked dissatisfied and wanted to say more, but was directly interrupted by Gu Xingyun: "Even you now are no match for Principal Zhuang five years ago. Forget it, the old principal stayed at Sky Academy For many years, he has gained success all over the world, and he is a hero to Zhongzhou and the special warfare system. For his last stop, I very much hope that he can reach the finish line safely."
Gu Xingyun paused, looked at Gu Fengbo, who still looked unconvinced and looked even more ugly, and said calmly: "I'm serious."
Gu Fengbo gritted his teeth and said nothing.
Zhuang Huayang's state has declined extremely seriously in recent years, and it has even been seriously inconsistent with the ranking of the top ten contemporary masters of Zhongzhou. This is a fact that everyone knows. Ten years ago, it can be said that Zhuang Huayang was at his peak. After Liu Tianqing's death, Zhongzhou Among the top ten contemporary masters, Zhuang Huayang ranks fourth, second only to Wang Tianzong, Gu Xingyun and Situ Cangyue.
Five years ago, the top ten masters were ranked again. Gu Qianchuan, the Grand Elder of Kunlun City, Kunlun, the main guard of Shushan Nirvana Sword, and the invincible latecomer of Zhongzhou Killing God Dongcheng were on top, surpassing Zhuang Huayang one by one. That ranking was considered real, but for an ancient rare For an old man, the most unforgiving thing is time. Another five years are approaching. Zhuang Huayang's strength has declined more and more seriously. He is old and frail. If he is ranked again this year, he will be extremely reluctant to make the list.
Gu Fengbo is the favorite among the top ten masters in this session. He really hopes to defeat Zhuang Huayang and solidify his name among the top ten masters in advance. By then, Gu Xingyun and Gu Qianchuan will join him, and he will be among the top ten masters of the contemporary era. , Kunlun City has three exclusive seats, who can compete with it
It's just that Gu Xingyun obviously doesn't want Zhuang Huayang to lose his life.
In the twenty years he has been in charge of Sky Academy, Zhuang Huayang has sent away six graduates. This is the real world full of students. Gu Xingyun acts prudently, and when there is no profit to be made, he naturally does not want Gu Fengbo to attack Zhuang Huayang. Whether this matter succeeds or fails, it is likely to attract countless hostility, and it is definitely not something a wise person would do.
"Then let's just forget about it this time?"
Gu Fengbo took a deep breath, looked at Gu Xingyun, and waved casually.
A box of cigarettes placed next to Gu Xingyun flew directly into his hands. He took out one and lit it silently.
"never mind."
Gu Xingyun nodded and smiled: "In recent years, the foundation of Kunlun City has become more and more stable, and more and more people are targeting Kunlun City. What's the point of a few mild reprimands? Be patient and steady, There will always be a time to get back on track."
"As for now..."
He narrowed his eyes slightly and his eyes flickered, but they were still not the sharpness and decisiveness of the God of War. When his eyes flickered, they were all deceitful and cunning after going through ups and downs.
He took a puff of cigarette and continued: "The top priority now is to find out who killed Yang Jiang. I don't know why, but when I think about this, I feel a little uneasy."
Gu Fengbo hummed and said, "The task force has already arrived at Huating."
"not enough."
Gu Xingyun shook his head: "I'm going to go to Huating in person in a few days. Within a month, this matter must come to light."
Gu Fengbo took a deep breath and whispered to himself: "Dongcheng Wudi, Zhuang Huayang, and even Jiang Qianqian, they are all powerful enough to kill Yangtze River. In addition, there were two freshmen from Sky Academy who appeared at the scene that day."
"These people are all suspects."
Gu Xingyun took over the conversation and said: "But the suspicion is not big. The two freshmen may ignore it, but they can kill Yangtze River? Do you think the secrets of Kunlun City are the so-called secrets scrawled by charlatans? "
"As for Dongcheng Wudi and Zhuang Huayang... I talked to Zhong Yongming. They did not have a direct conflict that day, and even if they were narrow-minded and had murderous intentions, they would not take action so quickly. Those two old foxes would not It’s so neither light nor heavy.”
"Samsara and Qin Weibai are the most likely, but even if it was a provocation, Qin Weibai would not directly choose the ancient Yangtze River as a breakthrough point, and she still went to the airport first..."
Gu Xingyun analyzed it bit by bit, and finally only that one name remained.
"Where is Jiang Qianqian?"
Gu Fengbo seemed to know what he was thinking and mentioned the name directly. He hesitated and continued: "A few days ago, the great elder seemed to be in Huating..."
"Crack!"
The fishing rod in Gu Xingyun's hand was crushed to pieces and sank into the lake. A fish that had just been hooked escaped and escaped unharmed.
Gu Xingyun had no expression on his face and whispered to himself: "Great Elder..."
In recent years, the foundation of Kunlun City has gradually stabilized, and some internal conflicts have gradually surfaced. For the Gu family, the Gu Qianchuan lineage is the real direct lineage, but now the power of Kunlun City is controlled by Gu Xingyun's lineage. With.
Gu Xingyun is unwilling to hand over power, and Gu Qianchuan is unwilling to give up his orthodox status. This contradiction is almost irreconcilable, and with the passage of time and the absence of external pressure, this contradiction has become worse in recent years. It's becoming more and more obvious.
As a close confidant of the city lord, Gu Yangjiang has always been at odds with Gu Qianchuan. It is only natural that he has murderous intentions towards Gu Yangjiang.
And the behemoth Jiang family has maintained a vague connection with Kunlun City over the years, covertly and covertly, for many years. If you really count, the connection between Gu Qianchuan and there seems to be closer.
But just this slightly closer relationship can allow Jiang Qianqian and the Jiang family to participate in the internal fighting in Kunlun City? Can Jiang Qianqian, an invincible master, personally take action to clear the way for Gu Qianchuan to seize power
Gu Fengbo pondered seriously for a while, shook his head, and said hesitantly: "Great Elder, you shouldn't be able to offer such a bargaining chip."
"He can drive it."
Gu Xingyun said expressionlessly: "But does he really dare to open such a bargaining chip?"
The phone suddenly rang.
Gu Xingyun took out his mobile phone, looked at the three words Gu Yunxia on the caller ID, frowned slightly, and chuckled after answering the call: "Yunxia, what's the matter?"
Gu Yunxia said something urgently on the other end of the phone. Gu Xingyun's smile disappeared immediately.
He silently put down the phone and narrowed his eyes.
"What's the matter, Your Highness?"
Gu Fengbo looked at him doubtfully and asked.
"Yun Zong is dead."
Gu Xingyun said something, and looking at Gu Fengbo's face that suddenly turned cold and ferocious, he continued: "Meng Jiang disappeared mysteriously in Yun Xia's office. For a whole day, there was no clue."
Gu Fengbo clenched his fists tightly and his face was ashen.
"What a troubled time."
Gu Xingyun sighed softly. The air around him fluctuated slightly. The ripples on the lake surface spread. The next second, his body appeared on the lakeside: "Let's go to Huating immediately. You come with me."
Gu Fengbo stood up, jumped out of the boat, and walked on the water. The huge water waves flew around him with an astonishing momentum.
... ...
at the same time.
Under the Qingyun Peak of Kunlun Mountain.
In the ice and snow at an altitude of several thousand meters, a figure wrapped in a black cloak appeared at the gate of Kunlun City.
He was carrying a long sword and moved forward slowly.
Most of the city gate that was originally destroyed by Wang Tianzong's sword has been urgently repaired in a few days. The black figure with a long sword looked at the busy figures at the city gate with sarcastic eyes.
"Who is it? Stop!"
The guard who was repairing the city gate immediately noticed the black shadow in his sight and shouted loudly.
The shadow moved on.
The guards in front of the city gate suddenly became nervous. Dozens of people quickly gathered and said at the same time: "Stop."
In his sight, the black shadow actually stopped.
But before the guards could breathe a sigh of relief, the black shadow spoke directly, his voice shaking the sky, and the wind and snow all over the city flew wildly in the sharp sword intent. His voice spread throughout the city: "Reincarnation, Holy Spirit." Disciple, I came here on the orders of the Palace Master, and I have a letter to deliver to His Majesty the God of War."
He reached into his arms and pulled out an envelope.
Under the suddenly nervous gazes of all the guards, the Saint stretched out his hand.
The snow-white envelope instantly cut through the wind and snow.
The wind howled, and the whole city was filled with swords clanking.
The envelope was like a stream of white light, shooting straight towards the city gate.
There was a loud bang.
Amid the storm and snow, most of the Kunlun City gates, which had been repaired urgently, collapsed again.
Debris flew.
The saint turned away peacefully, without haste or delay.
Several thunder realm masters in Kunlun City appeared at the same time, looking at the envelope on top of a pile of rocks, and then at the back of the saint, with gloomy faces and silence.
Who would be willing to provoke the first king of reincarnation if he could not provoke him
Skeleton, a Thunder Realm master who had come forward when Wang Tianzong was about to enter the city, hesitated for a moment, reached for the envelope and opened it. After just one glance, his expression suddenly changed.
... ...
After all, Gu Xingyun failed to go down to Huating in person.
Not even the ancient storm has moved.
Because just when the two were about to leave, a piece of news swept through every corner of the dark world at the speed of a hurricane.
That was a letter from the Lord of Samsara Palace to the Lord of Kunlun City.
Served by the saints.
When the letter reached Gu Xingyun's ears, it also spread throughout the dark world.
The entire dark world was instantly shocked, and the whole world was in an uproar.
"I heard that Kunlun City's martial arts is unparalleled in the world and is the pillar of the martial arts in Central Continent. I have admired it for a long time, so I came to ask for advice. Your Highness is the God of War in Central Continent, and his fighting power is unparalleled. He will not disappoint a female streamer of this palace. On June 15th, in the sky College, I am waiting for His Highness to arrive. I would like to see His Majesty in style, and I hope Your Highness will not cherish this life."
"The sword has no eyes. I wish Your Highness to put aside the worries of success or failure and restore the glory of Kunlun City. Although I am a woman and a child, I am willing to put everything aside and discuss the pinnacle of martial arts with Your Highness. We will not retreat until we die, and we will never stop until we die!"
"If Your Highness regrets defeat, I hope Your Highness will not be stingy."
"If His Highness has to fight, it doesn't matter. From now on, you can call yourself Rat. One day, when he reincarnates and travels eastward, he will use the power of your king to massacre the Rats and destroy His Highness's rat nest."
"The glory and disgrace of the Gu family for hundreds of years are tied to His Highness. Your Highness Wanwang will consider it carefully."
"The payment is reincarnated."
No retreat until death, no rest until death!
June 15th, Sky Academy.
The entire dark world felt that the Lord of Samsara Palace was crazy.
The entire dark world is also waiting for Gu Xingyun's reaction.
On the same day Gu Xingyun remained silent.
Northeast of Zhongzhou.
Situ Cangyue, the Hidden God of Central Continent, walked down Taibai Mountain to Sigh City for the first time in many years.
Make an appointment with Gu Qianchuan, the great elder of Kunlun City.
It’s almost exactly the same wording as the Lord of Samsara Palace.
No retreat until death, no rest until death!
