Morning, cloudy.
The rising sun is like fire.
The blazing red sun jumped out of the eastern sea, and the darkness before sunrise began to fade away. Endless light surged through the gathering clouds. Light and darkness intertwined with each other. As the sun rose, the entire clouds in the sky were illuminated. It became a gorgeous picture of intertwined light and darkness.
The light pierced the clouds and passed through the sky. The gloomy darkness disappeared bit by bit. The bright light scattered from the sky, shining on the sea in the distance. It was scattered among the green trees and flowers of Long Island and filled with high-rise buildings in the city. Everything seemed like The moment seemed extremely long.
It's another sunny day.
Facing the sunshine on the third day, Li Tianlan slowly stepped on the grass under his feet, feeling peaceful and tranquil.
The decisive battle is getting closer and closer, and since the end of the first day's meeting, Li Tianlan seems to have completely given up everything. He is no longer meditating or studying martial arts. His entire state of mind quickly adjusts and becomes clear and pure. , in just one day, he seemed to have adjusted himself to the best condition.
The early morning wind floated in the air, carrying the fragrance of grass and trees. Li Tianlan climbed up a hillside covered with turf at a leisurely pace.
This can be said to be one of the highest places in the entire club. Standing on the top of the mountain and looking down, you can have a panoramic view of most of the entire club. The lake in the distance is gently rippling, the flowers are swaying, and there are endless people in the leisure area. This The interior of the club, which had been closed for business, was now the busiest period since its establishment. Cars drove in one after another, and then drove out again. The entire club seemed to be operating secretly in an orderly manner.
Li Tianlan watched quietly, with an inexplicable smile on his lips.
As of today, Li Tianlan's realm has firmly stopped at the stable stage of the Ice-Condensing Realm. Under the stimulation of the surge potion, his realm is the stable stage of the Burning Fire Realm. As for the actual combat power, without all-out action, Under the circumstances, even Li Tianlan himself could not predict it. When his realm and secret skills have temporarily reached a bottleneck, it is meaningless to meditate and study the secret skills. At least it is impossible to achieve better results in the upcoming decisive battle. , but it will add more psychological burden to yourself.
Li Tianlan didn't know when the decisive battle would break out, but he had decided to relax his mind completely before the decisive battle, and truly adjust himself to the strongest state to face everything.
Although his realm is not high, his inheritance, physique, talent, and will combined together make him a combat power that no one can ignore. At the critical moment of the decisive battle, any combat power above the Thunder Realm must exert its due strength. .
"How prepared are we?"
Li Tianlan stood on the top of the mountain, looked down, and suddenly asked, with a soft and calm tone.
"The last batch of weapons will be in place within twelve hours, using the special channel of the Reincarnation Palace."
You Meng, who was following behind him, answered seriously. When the kings of the Reincarnation Palace had already left the club, Sigh City directly gave Li Tianlan the most direct protection. Most of the time, You Meng or Mu At least one person from Ying will appear within 20 meters of Li Tianlan at any time, and the two of them will appear at the same time even more often.
Youmeng, dusk shadow.
In recent years, these are the two most active assassins in Sigh City in the outside world. Although they are not half-step invincible masters, for assassins, the level of the realm is not the most important factor in many cases. Now they are on the killer list. Although their ranking is not at the top, with them protecting Li Tianlan closely, his safety can still be guaranteed.
"The Palace of Reincarnation..."
Li Tianlan's body stiffened for a while. After a while, he nodded and murmured to himself: "Well, the Palace of Reincarnation..."
His eyes were still calm, but his heart was quietly trembling. The powerlessness and melancholy that he couldn't capture and control swept through his nerves in an instant, faint, but so profound.
He and Qin Weibai...
Once again contact was lost.
The phone calls are blocked, the videos are not answered, and the messages are not responded to.
The Duke, Knight, Ranhuo, and several Heavenly Kings have completely disappeared. In the series of plans in Central Continent, the entire Palace of Reincarnation seems to have faded away without any trace.
Li Tianlan sighed softly, his eyes dazed.
In just a few days, Qin Weibai seemed to be deliberately erasing all traces of her.
There were no differences or quarrels between the two. During the last video chat, Qin Weibai was still as gentle as water, but in that almost obsessive attachment and tenderness, the two seemed to be drifting away. Everything about the Palace of Reincarnation Starting to leave him, the City of Sighs appeared beside him.
Li Tianlan didn't know what Qin Weibai was thinking, but in that series of calm actions, he felt not only cruelty but also determination.
He shook his head, suppressing the chaos in his heart and allowing himself to become calm again.
The extremely closed living environment he had grown up in seemed to have imprisoned his heart. Whether in the virgin forest or in the prison in the desert, Li Tianlan had his own goals and knew what he should do.
And when he walked out of Li's camp and came to Huating, facing the general trend in the world, Li Tianlan had been at a loss, felt uneasy, even fearful, and had low self-esteem. In this case, he knew Qin Weibai met Yu Donglai, Li Baitian and Ning Qiancheng. He had his own brothers and his own woman. He saw the turmoil in the world. Subtly, Li Tianlan's uneasy mentality when he first entered the world seemed to It has completely calmed down, and his path is right in front of him.
But now, with the Palace of Reincarnation stripping him away, and with Qin Weibai also deliberately cutting off contact with him, Li Tianlan realized that the peace he thought he had was actually just an illusion, and that sense of integration with the outside world was even mostly It was all brought to him by Qin Weibai. When Qin Weibai disappeared, the feeling of separation between himself and the whole world suddenly began to reappear, so obvious and clear.
He was no longer worried, but he was confused.
He had his own goals, but for a moment he didn't know what to do.
So he is no longer meditating, and has temporarily given up on improving his strength. He is adjusting his state, and also wants to seriously think about what he should do next when his heart is at its most peaceful.
Something must be done!
must!
"I should do something."
With his back to You Meng, Li Tianlan suddenly said calmly.
"What do you want to do, young master?"
Youmeng was silent for a few seconds, then slowly said: "I am willing to do it for you."
"No."
Li Tianlan shook his head: "I will do it, not you."
He turned his head and looked at You Meng, whose face was full of doubts. He smiled slightly and said, "It's different."
Youmeng blinked her bright eyes and said nothing.
The current Li Tianlan was completely different from the Li Tianlan she had first met, and could even be said to be two different people.
When she first saw him, the young city lord was calm, but behind that calmness, Youmeng could clearly feel the dignity and sharpness that hit her face.
But now...
He was still calm, but with a sense of real relaxation. He stood there casually, gentle and gentle, all the sharpness had disappeared, as quiet as an abyss, as ethereal as mist, and as calm as ice.
In this state, Li Tianlan's every move carries the most essential truth and gentleness.
The most real ones are often the easiest to be ignored.
Various thoughts flashed in Youmeng's mind, and she was suddenly startled when she saw the smile gradually appearing in Li Tianlan's eyes.
The young city lord opposite, who could be said to be a teenager, has eyes as clear as water, but with the power that seems to be able to see into the soul, soft and gentle, making people panic.
"I don't understand what the young master means."
Youmeng subconsciously avoided Li Tianlan's gaze and said.
"What is my current status in Middle-earth?"
Li Tianlan said softly, as if he was asking Youmeng or himself. He took out a cigarette and lit one. He looked at the black wooden box cigarette in his hand that was a specialty of the Beihai Wang family, and was in a daze.
"Indescribably expensive."
Youmeng spoke without hesitation.
Li Tianlan's current identity may be controversial, but under the shadow of the son of a traitor, he still has the aura of the Young Master of Sighing City.
In Central Continent, Sigh City is a well-deserved giant-level force. The city owner Situ Cangyue is known as the Hidden God of Central Continent. He is in charge of Sunset, one of the twelve fierce soldiers. Even if it is not as good as the Beihai Wang family and Kunlun City, it is still a real behemoth.
Li Tianlan is now the young city lord of Sighing City and one of the three young geniuses in Central Continent. The words "heavily important" and "indescribable" are not an exaggeration at all.
"Yes, but don't you think our place is too deserted?"
Li Tianlan spoke calmly.
Youmeng raised his eyebrows, but before he could speak, Li Tianlan had already continued: "I have a sensitive background, but since I am still in Dongdao now, it means that the top management has a relatively clear attitude towards this. Before, I It is closely related to reincarnation, and the situation is unclear, so it is reasonable for many people to wait and see. But it is different now. After the meeting the day before yesterday, we divided the defense zone, and I became the young city lord of Sighing City again. But these days, How many people come to visit our City of Sighs?”
Youmeng was thoughtful.
In the meeting the day before yesterday, the Samsara Palace Military Advisor and the Central Continent Military God successfully connected. After careful planning, Changdao was temporarily divided into three closely connected defense zones in order to better cope with the upcoming decisive battle. The three defense zones were actually equivalent to There are three retreat routes. In order to win, consider defeat first. On this point, the military advisors and military gods are surprisingly consistent, and the planning is very stable. Even if the decisive battle is lost, as long as a defense zone is defended, it will be a retreat for the elites of Central Continent. If The probability of being caught together is too high.
Now the three defense zones are closely connected, and the three groups of people can quickly support each other even if they are in different places. In this way, it is impossible for Dongdao to concentrate its maximum strength in one place to eliminate the elites of Central Continent first. After all, this is not the responsibility of both sides. The decisive battle is a multi-party melee. In addition to Zhongzhou, there is also a team of big dark forces. Although Dongdao has the home field advantage and personnel advantage, all the major forces are eyeing them. It is destined that Dongdao does not dare to risk his life to attack one force. .
This decisive battle is defensive for Dongdao, but it is offensive for all forces outside Dongdao.
This advance and retreat between offense and defense can be enough to create a huge advantage at the right time.
The City of Sighs is responsible for the No. 3 Defense Zone. With the clubhouse at its feet as the center, it is closest to the edge of the battlefield. At the same time, Shushan is also classified as the No. 3 War Zone along with the City of Sighs.
The Beihai Wang family is responsible for the No. 2 defense area, and the several kings of the Samsara Palace will also stay in the No. 2 defense area under normal circumstances, but they do not belong to a specific area, but provide full support.
Kunlun City is responsible for the No. 1 Defense Zone, and the eastern theater is also planned to be within the No. 1 Defense Zone.
The forces participating in the Battle of Long Island are naturally not these Central Continent forces. On the contrary, there are too many various forces and institutions. It is difficult to discuss the most detailed plan in one meeting. The top management only combines the strongest or most numerous forces. It is divided into three defense zones. As for other special service agencies, they can freely choose defense zones and make adjustments after the final list of the three defense zones is released.
Now that the meeting has ended for one day, there are not no forces that choose to join the third defense zone, but in comparison, there are far too many people who choose to enter the second and first defense zones.
In Li Tianlan's view, this is not a normal phenomenon at all.
In Central Continent, Kunlun City and Beihai Wang Family are indeed stronger than Sighing City, but this is the East Island, and the decisive battle is imminent. It depends on the strength of the major forces on the East Island.
If we really want to compare, Sigh City's strength in East Island is no weaker than the other two defense zones.
At least in terms of the top experts, Jie, known as the King of Shadows in the Dark World, is slightly stronger than Cang Qiong in the second defense area and Gu Zhendong in the first defense area.
In terms of strength and reputation, the only one who could compare with Jie was General Jiuxiao, Gongsun Qi, codenamed Qinglong.
But Gongsun Qi and his Terracotta Warriors and Horses troops are destined not to stay in a defensive zone. After all, they are the most offensive special team.
At least in Li Tianlan's opinion, if we really compare the power invested by several major forces in the East Island, Sighing City cannot be said to be stronger than the Wang Clan of Beihai, at least it will not be weaker than the Wang Clan of Beihai, but it is stronger than Kunlun City. Some.
This is also what makes Li Tianlan a little confused.
This time, Kunlun City strongly supports the national conspiracy, and can even be said to be the main promoter. Kunlun City established the Snow Dance Legion, and the invincible master Gu Qianchuan served as the commander of the legion. They went to Northern Europe and invested a lot of money. , but when it comes to East Island specifically, Kunlun City’s investment is not much.
The master of the invincible realm is in the east of the ancient town.
Ice Soul Frost Sword.
Guyun Xia.
Plus Guhan Mountain.
This seems to be the main high-end power.
And the most bizarre thing is that the senior management actually acquiesced to this list with minimal investment.
The reason for this is worth pondering.
Li Tianlan didn't want to think too deeply. He only knew that when Kunlun City's investment in East Island was not as good as that of Sighing City, there were many more people willing to join Defense Zone One than those willing to join Defense Zone Three. This was already It's enough to explain the problem.
This even shows that many people do not recognize themselves, and they do not recognize Sigh City's willingness to accept them, and even allow themselves to be the Young City Lord.
This may involve positions and grievances, but the most obvious thing is that they are not optimistic about Sigh City. In the final analysis, it is just because they have become the young city lord of Sigh City.
The halo around his head now, or perhaps his own strength, seems to be weaker than the other two young geniuses.
So Li Tianlan had to do something. At least in this decisive battle, he had to make convincing results.
For Li Tianlan, this point is crucial to his development after returning to Central Continent.
"If I go to fight Wang Shengxiao now and I can beat him, I guess there will be a lot more people willing to join the third defense zone."
Li Tianlan was silent for a while, then said with a smile.
You Meng was slightly startled.
Although Wang Shengxiao of the Wang Clan in Beihai is also called one of the three young geniuses in Central Continent today, in the hearts of more people, he has become the leader of the younger generation in Central Continent, a man with the twin veins of wind and thunder. There is also a top-level inheritance of the Thunder Realm Prodigy. Such a person makes even You dream about it a mountain of stress.
The Young City Lord is still a few years younger after all.
"Can you win?"
Youmeng bit her red lips and asked softly.
"It's not a life-or-death battle, it's just a simple sparring, no way."
Li Tianlan shook his head, very frankly.
"Why be impatient to compare with each other? The future of Central Continent is destined to be your world from now on. When we return to Central Continent, there will be plenty of opportunities to discuss with each other, and I don't think Shengxiao will refuse them."
A loud laugh suddenly sounded from the bottom of the mountain, bold and free.
Li Tianlan raised his eyebrows and turned to look down.
In his sight, a strong man was walking towards the hillside, looking at him with a smile.
The man was handsome, about forty years old, and his whole body was filled with masculine charm. He looked domineering and strong. He was dressed in plain clothes, but he walked with the strides of a dragon and a tiger. He looked like an instinctive soldier. Li Tianlan frowned. She frowned and her eyes subconsciously fell on his chest and shoulders. There were no epaulettes on the man's shoulders, but there was a vague mark on his chest, like a dagger, very light and vague, with only a vague outline.
"General Wang? Morning."
Li Tianlan knew better and said hello with a smile.
In the entire dark world, only one army in Central Continent would use such a vague mark.
That is the Shadow Thorn, known as the largest special forces unit in Central Continent!
Although the Shadow Thorn Force is a special force, it has always been under the dual management of the military headquarters and Kunlun City. It plays an important role in the Central Continent's special operations system. The top leader is the deputy of the theater and has the rank of lieutenant general. It can be said to be majestic. Today's Shadow Thorn Force leader The power is held by the Southeast Group, and it is also a member of the Beihai Wang family.
The handsome man in his prime before him was undoubtedly one of the core figures of the Beihai Wang family, Lieutenant General Wang Zhaoliang, the top leader of the Shadow Assassination Force.
The Wang family in Beihai is extremely complex internally. A super giant that has always been in its heyday, the internal affairs are not as simple as one generation or two. In addition to the direct lineage of Wang Tianzong, there are more than a dozen side branches, and each side branch is extremely prosperous. , adding up to hundreds of people, they are a real clan. Wang Zhaoliang and the Beihai Wang family are relatively far apart in terms of blood relationship, but they have a close personal relationship with Wang Xiaoyao. Wang Shengxiao is also extremely polite to him. No matter what the occasion, Everyone calls him Sixth Uncle, and his status in the Beihai Wang family is self-evident.
Moreover, during the call with Principal Zhuang Huayang, Li Tianlan also heard Zhuang Huayang mention Wang Zhaoliang and the Shadow Thorn Troops. It is said that Wang Zhaoliang once received the guidance of Master Wuwei. He has been on a steady rise since his youth and still has the potential to rise. This time, if Wang Shengxiao competes for the Terracotta Warriors and Horses If the position of general of Jiuzhou in the army fails, and it takes a few more years to settle down, the Beihai Wang family will most likely let Wang Shengxiao take control of the Shadow Thorn army, and then push Wang Zhaoliang up.
For such a person who was not part of the direct lineage of the Wang family in Beihai but was better than the direct lineage, Li Tianlan naturally would not be careless. After shaking hands with Wang Zhaoliang, he took the initiative again and said: "General, are you here for a walk?"
"The weather is nice today, it's really suitable for a walk, but where do I have the energy?"
Wang Zhaoliang smiled and said, "I came here specifically to see you."
Li Tianlan remained calm and calm, and said with a gentle smile: "General, what's the matter?"
"The Shadow Assassin Army has formed an alliance with Young Master Li. I wonder what Young Master Li wants?"
Wang Zhaoliang is a standard soldier, with a straightforward and generous temper, and he likes to be bold and straight to the point, but his words are quite profound.
It was the Shadow Thorn troops who were allied with him.
Rather than the Beihai Wang family.
But in fact, the Shadow Thorn troops have always been considered to be part of the Beihai Wang family's investment in the East Island, and they were naturally included in the No. 2 defense zone that the Beihai Wang family was responsible for.
What is the significance of this alliance
There is a Shadow Thorn troop between Beihai Wang Family and Sighing City.
Is this alliance the goodwill of the Beihai Wang family
It's just that the Wang family of Beihai stayed out of the matter, but they could attack when advancing and defend when retreating. How sincere can such goodwill be
Li Tianlan narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "I will seriously consider the general's suggestion. I don't know what the general means by forming an alliance... "
"Naturally, we are the first allies to give priority to support. In addition, we share some resources and intelligence."
Wang Zhaoliang has a loud voice.
Li Tianlan's heart moved and he was silent.
As the Beihai Wang family that still occupies a large area of the East Island, their infiltration in the East Island is quite terrifying, and they are particularly powerful in terms of intelligence. Although Li Tianlan is now the young city lord of Sighing City, if he wants to use the special channels of reincarnation There is no problem, there seems to be no harm in sharing like this.
It's just that the kindness of the Beihai Wang family this time is a bit inexplicable. At this stage, is there really any information that needs to be shared
Or maybe the information he needs is not about Dongdao
The cold light in Li Tianlan's eyes flashed away.
Beihai Wang, did you notice something? Or do you want to use the guise of sharing intelligence to get to the bottom of the special channel of reincarnation
"In terms of intelligence, Sigh City's foundation on the East Island is a bit weak, so I'm afraid it won't be able to help the Shadow Thorn troops. However, in terms of resources and support, we are willing to form an alliance with the general."
Li Tianlan was silent for a while and said in a steady tone.
A strange light flashed in Wang Zhaoliang's eyes. He seemed to want to say something, but in the end he endured it and said with a smile: "Okay. If Mr. Li is interested in the weapons and resources of the Shadow Thorn Army, just ask, we are willing to Exchange. If Sigh City is in need, we will provide support as soon as possible."
Li Tianlan nodded and said yes.
Several reincarnated heavenly kings are stationed in the second defense area in the middle, but they cannot be regarded as the people in the second defense area. They are destined to wander around the whole place, and everyone, including Li Tianlan himself, believes that if he encounters Difficulties, the reincarnation kings will definitely come to support at the first time regardless of the cost. Li Tianlan doesn't know if the Beihai Wang family has noticed something strange, but at least, this alliance, they hope to get the reincarnation kings to a certain extent. Of course, in exchange, the support of the Shadow Thorn Army is also extremely important to the City of Sighs.
"Then... Mr. Li, can we cooperate happily?"
Wang Zhaoliang smiled and stretched out his hand: "Also, someone asked me to bring you a message."
He lowered his voice slightly and continued: "Don't look at the small investment in Kunlun City this time. In fact, on the surface, in terms of investment, they have invested the most in East Island. Mr. Li, be careful."
Li Tianlan's eyes suddenly became profound. He looked at Wang Zhaoliang, and after a long while, he slowly said: "Who asked you to bring me the news?"
Wang Zhaoliang smiled and said nothing.
"Reincarnation?"
Li Tianlan's eyes became more focused.
Wang Zhaoliang laughed, said "please cooperate", and turned to go down the mountain.
Li Tianlan looked at his back silently and didn't speak for a long time.
"Young Master, the Beihai Wang family cannot be easily trusted... I have received some secret information. It is said that the Beihai Wang family and Kunlun City seem to be planning something, and a large part of the reason should be against you."
Youmeng stood behind Li Tianlan and said.
Li Tianlan waved his hand, silently took out his mobile phone and opened the communication software.
Qin Weibai's account is still lying in the address book, still the same avatar, quiet and unchanged.
White paper, two lines of small characters that are light and graceful.
"Who are you to me?"
"Everyone I have is you."
Li Tianlan was silent, moving his fingers and typing slowly.
"Did you tell me the news about Kunlun City through Wang Zhaoliang?"
no respond.
Li Tianlan did not give up and continued typing: "Don't worry about anything, I know what to do."
"Is it true that if I were strong enough, everything today wouldn't be like this?"
"I will get stronger. Be the strongest."
Still no response.
At the top of Li Tianlan's message were the three words Qin Weibai sent to him, but he never responded.
"really miss you."
Li Tianlan took a deep breath, smiled suddenly, and typed: "The woman who is the dream of several invincible giants in the dark world, she fell in love with me as soon as we met, and she fell in love with her several times. Xiaobai, do you think I am the strongest?"
Mobile phone vibration.
Qin Weibai finally responded with two simple words: bad guy.
Li Tianlan laughed, put away his phone, and looked into the distance.
Under the sunshine on the third day, he could clearly feel that something was approaching.
Getting closer.
