After the final exercise between the two houses, Huangfu Qiushui immediately chose to return to Beihai.
No, it’s to Beihai.
Come to Beihai with the identity of Donghuang Palace.
For this reason, she did not even attend the final commendations from the two houses.
No one thought that Huangfu Qiushui came here to show off his power. She just wanted to give herself a barely acceptable explanation.
Beihai's legendary sword Qiu Shui is still in her hand. She joined the East Palace herself, but she was too shameless to join the East Palace with the Qiu Shui sword. In fact, even in the final exercise, the Qiu Shui sword was not unsheathed once. She mentioned Holding that finger, he exerted Li Tianlan's sword energy that could dissipate at any time, and swept away all the outstanding figures of the two houses in this session with a devastating gesture.
No matter whether she can walk out of Beihai today or not, it is her duty to send Qiushui Sword back.
She chose her path.
No matter what the teacher thinks, no matter what Bei Hai thinks, she will come back again.
If you die here, there is nothing to regret. Now that you have determined your future path, there is no room to look back.
So coming here this time is to return the sword, to say goodbye, and also to die.
Xia Zhi understood Huangfu Qiushui's mentality very well. She smiled softly and said, "Have you sent someone to pick him up?"
"Brother Jiang went there."
Wang Shengxiao nodded.
Xia Zhi glanced at Wang Shengxiao in surprise.
Di Jiang, whose strength is not weaker than the peak invincible realm, will personally pick up Huangfu Qiushui
This is not a question of whether Huangfu Qiushui is worthy or not.
This kind of welcoming gesture is already solemn and a bit strange.
"what happened?"
Xia Zhi frowned and asked.
Huangfu Qiushui was in Beihai. No matter what his identity was, it was impossible for Dijiang to pick him up under normal circumstances.
If she had not betrayed the Beihai Wang family, then it was her own child, and a driver would be enough. If she was the Minister of Internal Security of the Eastern Palace, a Thunder Realm master with a convoy would be enough.
Dijiang picks people up
Beihai Wang's does not have this specification.
"Jiang Shangyu called me an hour ago."
Wang Shengxiao smiled.
Xia Zhi narrowed her eyes, as if asking a question, or saying to herself: "The rain on the river..."
In this era, the most incomprehensible thing is probably Jiang Shangyu.
Many reasons can be found to explain Li Tianlan's current strength. It may be a bit reluctant, but if you insist on finding reasons, you can still find them, such as the inheritance of the Li family, his own talent, the support of the Reincarnation Palace, and his perfect kendo.
These may not fully explain Li Tianlan's current strength, but at least they are a support.
Wang Shengxiao is easier to explain.
There is only one reason why Wang Shengxiao can now be ranked second on the God List, second only to Li Tianlan.
That's why his dad is awesome.
The sword energy of father and son comes from the same source. When the supreme sword energy falls on Wang Shengxiao, even after many weakenings, Wang Shengxiao can still support the Beihai Wang family with strength beyond the peak invincibility.
There is nothing to say about Lin Fengting and Li Kuangtu. They are opponents from the older generation. Their ability to stand in this field can be explained by their qualifications, status or talent.
but...
Where is the rain on the river
Jiang Shangyu is one year older than Wang Shengxiao and four years older than Li Tianlan.
After the Spring Festival, Li Tianlan was twenty-five and Jiang Shangyu was twenty-nine.
How did a twenty-nine-year-old Jiang Shangyu, who had no inheritance and no suitable martial arts environment, reach a realm above the invincible realm
Jiang Shangyu had not been very dazzling for many years before.
During the reign of the Sword Emperor, when Wang Shengxiao and Gu Hanshan were still ranked among the most talented young people, Jiang Shangyu did have a place among the younger generation in Central Continent, and his position was not low, but in terms of dazzlingness, it was really not considered dazzling.
At that time, Li Tianlan had not yet entered the world, and sometimes he would even be suppressed by Dongcheng in the rankings of the younger generation of masters.
Although he is not obvious, people recognize his strength, but they don't think he is ridiculously strong.
Until chaos broke out in Snow Country.
As Li Tianlan entered the Snow Kingdom, Jiang Shangyu appeared inexplicably, and a scene that could scare people to death, such as being half-step into the invincible state overnight, happened, and then there was another transformation in combat power. People didn't know that he was When he entered the invincible realm, he had actually surpassed the invincible realm and reached his current state.
There was no sign, no pattern, just inexplicable. Without any explanation, he suddenly appeared at the top of the dark world.
Countless forces in the dark world, including the Beihai Wang family, were speculating at that time that if they continued to wait for a while, Jiang Shangyu would make rapid progress again, surpassing Li Tianlan overnight and become the only genius in the world.
Beihai was also uneasy about this.
However, after watching him hurriedly deal with Li Tianlan, it was not until the trio failed to attack Li Tianlan that people understood that this should be Jiang Shangyu's limit, at least in the short term.
The reason is easy to explain.
If Jiang Shangyu is sure to break through again in the short term, then there is no need for him to rush into trouble and just be patient for a while. Who will be his opponent after the breakthrough
The fact that he didn't do this can only mean that he is not sure of a breakthrough in the short term, or that he has no possibility of continuing upward.
But even so, the Beihai Wang family still attached great importance to him.
Twenty-nine years old.
An age where one can enter the Thunder Realm and be called a genius.
An age when one can reach the peak of the Thunder Realm can be regarded as a top genius.
When Di Jiang was twenty-nine years old, he was only at the peak of the Thunder Realm.
But Jiang Shangyu has already surpassed the peak invincibility at this age.
It is no exaggeration to say that if this operation against Li Tianlan succeeds, after Li Tianlan's death, Beihai's most dangerous opponents will not be Li Kuangtu and Gu Xingyun, but Jiang Shangyu.
Being young means unlimited possibilities.
In terms of combat effectiveness, he may be slightly inferior to Li Kuangtu and Lin Fengting at their peak, but in everyone's heart, he is much more important than the two older generations.
reason
Just because you are young.
"What did Jiang Shangyu say?"
Xia Zhi asked calmly.
"He said this was an opportunity. Obviously, he was also paying attention to the exercises of the two houses. He knew about Qiu Shui, and he also knew that Qiu Shui would come to Beihai. He felt that this was a good opportunity. , suggested that I kill Qiu Shui directly, and when Li Tianlan comes, he can come to Beihai to join us in the shortest time, and then place the battlefield at the Wang family in Beihai, occupying the right time, place and people, so that our operation will be more certain. The bigger it is, the more resources can be mobilized.”
"If possible, there is no need to be secretive. This is an upright conspiracy. As long as Li Tianlan dares to come, everything in Beihai will be ready."
"Nonsense!"
Xia Zhi raised her voice, her voice a little angry and sharp.
Wang Shengxiao nodded: "So I didn't agree."
"What a good calculation."
Xia Zhi sneered: "Putting the battlefield in Beihai, no matter what the result is, it will be a disaster for Beihai. If it succeeds, Li Tianlan will fall and Beihai will suffer heavy losses."
Heavy, this is probably the result Jiang Shangyu wants to see most, right? "
"So I asked Brother Jiang to pick him up personally."
Wang Shengxiao said: "Jiang Shangyu is on the European continent on the surface, but who knows where he is? Some things can't happen just because we don't agree. If he is lurking in Beihai and waiting for this day, then what will happen if she kills Qiu Shui? If we don't leave, the battlefield will only be here."
His voice sounded incredibly calm as he spoke.
Xia Zhi turned to look at him, suddenly stretched out her hand to touch her son's head, and asked with a smile: "Not willing?"
Wang Shengxiao was her son. How could a mother not hear the strangeness behind her son's seemingly calm tone
Wang Shengxiao was surprised and stunned. He seemed to want to deny it, but when the words came to his lips, he smiled bitterly and said nothing.
Are you willing
How could I be willing to do so
In the more than two years since he became the head of the Beihai Wang clan, Wang Shengxiao has not been content for a single day.
From the time he could remember, he began to understand what he had to bear in his life, whether it was pressure or glory. No matter what, it was a heavy weight that was difficult to bear.
Wang Shengxiao is a genius, an absolute genius.
No one can deny this.
There is no need to say anything else, the twin veins of wind and thunder are enough to prove this point.
But Wang Shengxiao has never been lazy. In summary, there are only two things in his nearly thirty-year-old life.
Even just one thing.
That is learning.
Learn how to become a strong person.
Learn how to be a leader.
When peers are exposed to textbooks in the classroom, they are exposed to financial statements, investment plans, Beihai's Shi Zheng outline, Beihai's economic survey, and public opinion survey reports. They are the foundation and boring knowledge that are polished day by day. kendo.
When family education is strict to a certain level, you even have to learn how to speak. Speaking is not just about making sounds. The tone, speed, expressions, and subtle movements combined with psychology are also an extremely huge project.
Painting, horse riding, golf, music...
The patriarchs of the Beihai Wang family in the past generations were not all-rounders, but most of them were strong men and leaders who knew a little bit about everything, a little bit about everything, but were not unfamiliar with certain fields.
Wang Shengxiao really didn't think it was such a happy thing to be the heir of the Wang family in Beihai.
The happiness of being rich and handsome, the prominence of the heir to the most powerful family in the dark world, the privilege of being able to ignore all consequences, the rich clothes and fine food, the bright clothes and the angry horses, spending money like water, and being domineering...
I really don't feel this.
He can do these things.
but...
Do not have time.
Most of the time, he was studying, studying, and studying.
Never relaxed for a moment.
The word "enjoyment" has not appeared in any Beihai Wang clan leader for hundreds of years.
Year by year.
Wang Shengxiao always felt that he was doing pretty well.
He never denied that he was a genius, but he also never denied his hard work.
He is a genius and has tried his best, so he feels that it is natural for him to be able to stand at the top of the younger generation, and that is how it should be.
With Beihai's countless resources, the most outstanding talents, and the most tenacious will, Wang Shengxiao felt that sooner or later, he would surpass his father and surpass the previous patriarchs of the Wang clan in Beihai.
Yes.
Beyond.
This is what Wang Shengxiao has been pursuing. His goal is so clear that he has never even considered being surpassed by others.
It can be said that this is arrogance, but he does have the capital to be arrogant.
But he obviously never thought about being surpassed by others, but he was actually surpassed by others.
Li Tianlan is one.
Jiang Shangyu is also one.
The achievement of half-step invincibility at the age of twenty-eight should have been an achievement that shocked the entire dark world, but in front of Li Tianlan and Jiang Shangyu, it was dim and a bit ridiculous.
Not willing to give in
This sentiment exists.
But more than anything, I was still aggrieved and confused.
He could convince himself to accept being surpassed, but he couldn't find a way to close the distance.
He hasn't even reached the threshold of invincibility yet.
How to get close to the peak invincibility? A combat power that even surpasses the peak invincibility
Compared to Li Tianlan, it was Jiang Shangyu who made Wang Shengxiao feel most confused.
Li Tianlan's power subverted the four realms of martial arts to a certain extent.
His fighting power has nothing to do with his realm, or rather, it has little to do with it. It is a path that he is exploring on his own, whether it is swordsmanship or martial arts. No matter how hard Wang Shengxiao is not convinced, he will create his own path. Unless a new path is found, there will be no way to close the gap with Li Tianlan for the time being.
But what about Jiang Shangyu
Jiang Shangyu's realm is real.
Strictly speaking, Li Tianlan is only in the invincible realm now, and he has just entered the invincible realm not long ago.
But Jiang Shangyu has an extremely clear and real state, which is truly beyond the peak invincible state.
Wang Shengxiao really couldn't figure out how the other party did it.
Reluctant and a little jealous, he even thought about it more than once, if his true state could reach the level of Jiang Shangyu, then having his father's sword energy would be equivalent to having his father's sword energy in Murmans. Combat strength? The kind that doesn't discount.
In that case, who in the entire dark world would be the opponent of the Beihai Wang Family
East Palace, what is it
But there is no if.
Rain on the river Rain on the river...
Every time he mentions or even thinks of this name, Wang Shengxiao feels a little harsh.
"Actually, it's not as exaggerated as you think."
Xia Zhi touched Wang Shengxiao's head and said in a gentle voice: "Strictly speaking, Jiang Shangyu is not as good as you, or even far inferior to you."
"Is this consolation?"
Wang Shengxiao smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "Mom, I don't need comfort. There is nothing wrong with my state of mind. Although I feel a little uncomfortable thinking about him, there is no flaw in my state of mind."
"That's not comfort."
Xia Zhi shook his head: "I'll tell you the truth. There are some things that I never know whether I should tell you or not. In fact, there is no point in saying it. Instead, it might mess up your thinking, so I didn't say it."
Wang Shengxiao looked at Xia Zhi in confusion.
Xia Zhi was silent for a moment and said softly: "Do you know why I proposed to form this alliance this time? Do you know why I established Group X more than two years ago?"
The entire dark world knows that with the expansion of the East Palace, the Beihai Wang family and Wang Shengxiao can no longer sit still.
Even Li Huacheng thinks so.
Wang Shengxiao really couldn't sit still.
But what the outside world doesn't know is that Xia Zhi is also restless. It was Xia Zhi who even proposed forming the current hidden alliance, and it was Xia Zhi who first proposed it and then Wang Shengxiao agreed.
So the most difficult thing to calm down is the summer solstice.
As for Team
Was included in Beihai Wang's top secret X team.
Team
It's just that Team X is a little bigger.
There are thirty-five people in the team, all of whom are adventure experts with little reputation but extremely high professionalism. Two of them are even half-invincible. They are directly responsible for Xia Zhi and have traveled all over the world in the past two years.
Team
If these places, except for the pyramids, are common areas of activity for the Special Search Team, then the other traces of Team Some data files that have not been declassified but are actually of little significance.
Xia Zhi even used a unique technology of the Beihai Wang family to trade a large amount of undecrypted information from Bureau 719 with the parliament.
When that information is combined with the traces of Team X, Xia Zhi's purpose becomes clear.
Xia Zhi is researching some half-truths and unsolved mysteries.
And the main focus is on time and space.
It's not time, it's time and space.
Xia Zhi even met with many experts in related fields and asked them to give a theoretical explanation based on some cases in the data.
Most of these appeared in children's books. I read the Unsolved Mystery King Shengxiao when I was a child.
It's just that the files from other countries bought from the dark world for a lot of money and the information provided by Bureau 719 are naturally different.
The biggest difference is...
There is currently no scientific way to prove that the things recorded in these materials are true, but it can be confirmed that these materials are not false.
Wang Shengxiao had also read those documents. One of the documents that he remembered deeply was about a senior Central Continent agent who was responsible for lurking in Annan Kingdom more than sixty years ago. He was exposed due to various coincidences during the process of completing the lurking mission and evacuating. He lost his identity and was hunted by Annan Kingdom.
On the way to escape, he abandoned all means of transportation, crossed the border forest, and entered a village on the border of Nanyun one night.
The village is very dilapidated, there are very few people left, and most of the people left are old people.
Under the guidance of local villagers, the agent set foot on a road that did not exist on the map but was extremely neat.
Yes, a road that does not exist on the map but is known as a national highway.
It's just that he walked along the road for a long time without encountering any vehicles.
The agent walked all night until dawn, then left the road and walked into a small town a few kilometers away.
He took a car in the small town to the nearest security department, but after seeing no one to pick him up, he realized that twenty years had passed since the night he was on the highway.
The agent finally met his colleague from twenty years ago, and the Ministry of Security repeatedly investigated and finally confirmed his identity.
What's even more strange is that the road he never found again was built by the Provincial Construction Group eight years later.
Without this road, although time would be chaotic, it would still follow a certain pattern.
But the emergence of this highway broke many things.
Was that agent walking in the future or the past on that road that night
This agent is still alive and working in Bureau 719. Xia Zhi asked to see him, but was rejected by the parliament.
There is a lot of similar information, and this is something that Xia Zhi has been studying for more than two years.
Wang Shengxiao originally thought this was her mother's hobby, but now it seems that this is not the case at all.
"I do not understand."
Wang Shengxiao was silent for a while and then said something confused.
"The Jiang Shangyu you see now may not be Jiang Shangyu. Compared with the real Jiang Shangyu, you are not bad at all, but compared with the current Jiang Shangyu... the length of life is different, and his realm is higher than you. It’s a normal thing.”
Wang Shengxiao was confused.
This time I was really confused, and the more I listened, the more confused I became.
He stared at Xia Zhi blankly for a while, then hesitantly called out: "Mom?"
"Don't you understand yet?"
Xia Zhi said softly: "There should be two Jiang Shangyu. One is Jiang Shangyu who is really the same age as you. He is at least half a step invincible and is definitely not as good as you. And the other one should be Jiang Shangyu who comes from another time and space. Or it could be Jiang Shangyu who comes from the future and is not much younger than me in real age, which is the current Jiang Shangyu who has surpassed the peak invincibility."
Wang Shengxiao's facial muscles twitched crazily, and his emotions and expressions instantly became completely chaotic.
From the future
Another time and space
What the hell
"Mom, are you okay?"
Wang Shengxiao couldn't laugh or cry.
"I know it's hard for you to believe."
Xia Zhi looked at his son calmly: "Actually, regarding Jiang Shangyu, I'm not sure if that's the case, but after thinking about it, it seems to be the only possibility. He wants an extra half of eternal life this time, so that's OK It’s a testimony. Okay, let’s not talk about Jiang Shangyu, but what I want to tell you is that it is not impossible to come from the future. I have seen real evidence.”
Wang Shengxiao shook his head vigorously. He confirmed again and again that he was not drinking, and then said numbly: "What evidence?"
"Qin Weibai."
Xia Zhi's voice was low: "The master of Samsara Palace is Qin Weibai. He is Qin Weibai from the future. What you see now, the Qin Weibai in the East Palace is fake, no, it should be said to be real. They theoretically It can be said that they are one body, but the current Qin Weibai is her in this time and space. And the Qin Weibai from the future is now in the Lin clan. She is seriously injured and is alive and dead. I took out half of it before. The actual purpose of entering the East Palace with the body of the God of War and Nalan Shiying was to save Qin Weibai.
Nalan Shiying has seen this kind of thing and communicated it to me. It is absolutely true.
I have never met Qin Weibai from the Lin clan. But I have met the one who is with Li Tianlan now, and although I did not admit it personally, she gave me hints through Xuanyuan Feng and Jiuzhou Han when I went to Youzhou to see her. "
"I do not believe."
It was like there were countless thunders roaring in my mind.
Wang Shengxiao's expression became a little numb.
"I was dubious about this at first, until... "
A hint of unconcealed fear flashed through Xia Zhi's eyes: "Shengxiao, do you know who the person who split the Imperial Arms Mountain with a sword more than two years ago was?"
Wang Shengxiao's body suddenly shook.
Xia Zhi smiled bitterly: "I have been hesitating for more than two years and have been considering whether to tell you. If you know his identity, the pressure will be even greater. Are you sure you want to listen?"
"Could it be...it can't be Li Tianlan..."
Wang Shengxiao laughed, a little reluctantly.
"It's not Li Tianlan."
Xia Zhi said in a low voice: "That man's name is Li Dongcheng... He is... the son of Li Tianlan and Qin Weibai. He said it himself, Li Tianlan and Qin Weibai's... son looks to be about thirty years old, Their son in another time and space."
