Li Tianlan glanced at Zhuang Huayang.
His eyes were dull and somewhat polite.
"It's Tiannan."
he said softly.
Zhuang Huayang was completely speechless for a moment, and it was too late to say anything now.
The Special Operations Headquarters was established, Ning Zhiyuan was transferred, and the Bloody Legion was handed over.
Under such circumstances, Li Tianlan went to Tiannan, which really seemed like he would turn into a dragon when a storm hit him.
Zhuang Huayang was convinced and even a little in awe of the people behind the scenes.
Gathering the general trend of Central Continent in one place in the south of the sky, such a technique is truly grand and exquisite at the same time.
When Zhongzhou was in turmoil, he quietly moved to Tiannan. It seemed a little unreasonable, but it suddenly revitalized the entire chessboard.
What convinced Zhuang Huayang the most was that there was no sign of intentionality in any of this. Naturally, several major forces operated at the same time, completely unintentionally creating this situation that no one had thought of. After the Youzhou Conference, the Li family made a comeback. Everyone's eyes are focused on the northeast and southeast. Some are guarding against the Li family, while others are taking inventory of their harvests. Tiannan is obviously an obvious situation, but because everything seems too natural, no one has realized it yet. at this point.
What is most easily overlooked is often the most obvious.
Such as sunlight during the day.
Such as the starry sky at night.
Such a superb technique, Zhuang Huayang didn't know how much preparation the person behind the scenes had made, but if this person hadn't had a thorough understanding of the situation in Central Continent, there would have been no such silent thunderous effect today.
When did this all start
Zhuang Huayang thought silently.
The general situation in Tiannan and the changes in several sensitive positions are the result of the internal operations of the Beihai Wang family, the Prince Group and the wealthy group.
The Youzhou Conference, Lin'an and Northeast China also really attracted everyone's attention.
So no one can notice Tiannan for the time being. This seems easy to understand, but it is difficult to understand.
After all, Li Tianlan is here, the only martial arts prodigy that Central Continent has seen in decades. Li Tianlan can be said to be the most central figure in all these changes.
How could he be ignored
For anyone to ignore this martial arts prodigy...
neglect
neglect!
Zhuang Huayang's brain became a little sluggish for a moment.
He looked at Li Tianlan's calm face.
While his mind was spinning, cold sweat still appeared on Zhuang Huayang's back.
Ignore Li Tianlan
No one would be so stupid, even if they were before, they would never be that stupid again after returning.
Zhuang Huayang never ignored Li Tianlan.
He is a martial arts wizard...
But it wasn't until this moment that he suddenly discovered that Li Tianlan's label in his mind was actually just a martial arts wizard.
This is the only, all impression!
Li Tianlan has done a lot, but it seems like he has done nothing.
With his strength and position, he can't do anything now.
In the decisive battle between Tiandu, he is a pawn in Zhongzhou.
In the process of Li's return to the top, he is like Li's pawn.
He is so pure, so clear-headed, and has been silently improving his strength.
He really didn't think about anything, or at least he never showed it.
Why did the Li family collapse suddenly
Did the Beihai Wang family do something secretly
What resources did Kunlun City use for its plan back then
Will these resources become clues
What is the truth behind Kuangtu Li’s treason case
From the beginning to the end, Li Tianlan didn't even care about this series of issues that he had to consider from Li Tianlan's point of view!
He knew nothing about the past and did not explore it. Instead, he purely and focused on improving his strength, waiting for the opportunity to truly take the first step.
He showed it too obviously.
So much so that it even became his label in people's eyes.
Zhuang Huayang finally understood why the Wang family, as powerful as Beihai and as delicate as Kunlun City, ignored Tiannan.
Their eyes are indeed on Northeast China and Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but they are also on Li Tianlan.
Li Tianlan just wanted to improve his strength.
And what they were paying attention to was Li Tianlan himself.
So that in the end, such a huge omission was formed in Tiannan.
Zhuang Huayang felt a little cold inside.
He didn't know whether Li Tianlan did all this intentionally or unintentionally.
If the answer is intentional, willing to use oneself as a chess piece, attracting everyone's attention in the purest way, and dormant like this, what kind of scheming is this
The corners of Zhuang Huayang's mouth kept trembling.
He wanted to say a lot at this moment, but for some reason, he couldn't say anything.
"It's almost time."
Li Tianlan lowered his head and looked at his watch.
2:20 p.m.
The symposium held by Gu Xingyun was held at three o'clock in the conference room of Sky Academy, about fifteen minutes away.
He nodded to Zhuang Huayang, looked at Dongcheng Rusui and Du Hanyin, and said calmly: "Let's go."
"Tian Lan."
Zhuang Huayang took a deep breath and suddenly shouted.
Li Tianlan turned to look at him.
"what's your plan?"
When asked this question, Zhuang Huayang's tone was a little bitter.
The final exercise between the two houses is a grand event for the Central Continent Special Warfare System.
Kunlun City has the greatest dominance.
But as the current ruling group in Zhongzhou, if the academic faction persists as an ally, even if it cannot change the order of the exercises, it can at least gain more living space for Li Tianlan and let him see the sincerity of the academic faction.
But the chief did not do this, but chose silence and acquiescence.
Li Tianlan is still an ally of the academy.
But this subtle change started after Li Tianlan established closer ties with the wealthy group.
The academics really hope that Li Tianlan has a relationship with a wealthy group, but they don't want their relationship to be too close. A Li Tianlan who relies heavily on the academics to survive is far more in line with the academics than a Li Tianlan who can handle the two major groups with ease. Interests.
But when Zou Yuanshan goes to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the wealthy group clearly announces to the outside world that they will create their core team for the next few decades with Li Tianlan as the core. The academics can only use this opportunity to put pressure on Li Tianlan and the wealthy group. In this state Under the circumstances, Li Tianlan was considered an ally of the academic faction, but he was more like a pawn used by the academic faction to obtain benefits from the wealthy group.
The most important thing is that Li Tianlan himself is willing to be the chess piece of the Li family, but he may not be willing to be the chess piece of the academy. Now that the situation in Nannan is gradually becoming clearer, Li Tianlan's future can be expected. This is the most powerful ally in the future, but in the next In the final exercise, they will face an extremely embarrassing situation.
Zhuang Huayang really wants to know what Li Tianlan's plans are.
"Rushi and Hanyin will abstain."
Li Tianlan said calmly: "I will participate in the final exercise by myself and participate in their so-called team battle."
"yourself?!"
Zhuang Huayang's expression changed drastically.
"I won't lose."
Li Tianlan said lightly.
Zhuang Huayang smiled bitterly again.
The academic faction has already made its own move. The key depends on whether Dongcheng Wudi is willing to break the rules for Li Tianlan. If Dongcheng does not abstain from voting, it is undoubtedly more likely that Dongcheng Wudi will take action for the sake of his daughter. But if Dongcheng abstains from voting like this ...
On one side is the responsibility of the Border Guard Corps, on the other side is Li Tianlan's weight. How does Dongcheng Invincible make a choice
If he chooses to give up, this exercise will be a dead end for Li Tianlan.
If he loses, Li Tianlan will die.
If he wins, Li Tianlan will still die.
Such a lineup allows Li Tianlan to win. Kunlun City and Beihai Wang Family will definitely kill this threat as soon as possible at any cost.
Maybe this is an opportunity for academics
But if the wealthy group gives up, will the academic bosses really offend the Beihai Wang family and Kunlun City for Li Tianlan? Who is willing to bear that kind of pressure
Zhuang Huayang had a splitting headache. He took a deep breath, patted Li Tianlan's shoulder, and said in a deep voice, "I'll call the chief right away."
Li Tianlan smiled, turned around and walked out of the ward.
... ...
The conference room of Sky Academy is large, with a pale white environment, simple and spacious.
When Li Tianlan led Dongcheng Rusu and Du Hanyin into the conference room fifteen minutes early, Gu Xingyun was already sitting in the main seat of the conference room. Gu Qianchuan, who once served as an actual marshal in Zhongzhou, but now has an empty title following the disbandment of the Xuewu Legion, stood quietly next to Gu Xingyun with an indifferent expression.
The fresh sunshine after the rain softly shines into the main seat of the conference room.
The two invincible masters of Central Continent stood one by one, bathing in the sunshine, as if they were covered with a layer of golden clothing.
There are already many figures in the conference room.
Gu Xingyun's symposium was held with all the top young people in the two houses. To be precise, they were senior executives who had clear teams and served as core figures in their respective teams, or they had extremely strong personal abilities. A first-rate Sanxian figure.
Li Tianlan has read the information and found that there are nearly thirty forces in the two chambers this year, and the total number of people is about 750. Under normal circumstances, this should be the total number of people for team collaboration exercises.
There are not many lunatics who participate in team exercises to save their lives alone, but there are not many in the past. In the final exercise where the minimum casualty rate is 30%, if an individual faces the team, it is equivalent to seeking death, or it is equivalent to giving to others. People give credits. According to the school rules of the two colleges, the final exercises of the two colleges are important, but the more important thing is the credits. Therefore, the exercise seems to be a contest of force, but the various aspects of it also test a person's mind and how to develop his talents. Making up for shortcomings and getting the most credits to improve one's ranking is something every student will consider.
The first time Li Tianlan and the others entered the conference room, almost everyone focused their attention on the three of them.
Most people looked a little strange.
Wang Shengxiao and Song Ci were sitting in the middle. When he saw Li Tianlan coming in, he smiled and waved as a greeting, looking very friendly.
The young master of Kunlun City, Gu Hanshan, and Gu Qianchuan's close disciple Gu Youlan were sitting together. The two of them were almost next to Wang Shengxiao and Song Ci. Gu Youlan, who still looked a little pale, still wore a mask, and he was leaning against Gu Hanshan. Beside me, little birds cling to me.
Jiang Shangyu sat on the other side of Guhan Mountain.
Several young super masters from Central Continent had been gathering together and whispering something before Li Tianlan came in. What they said was actually not important at all.
What's important is that the signal they give is clear enough, and that's enough.
Li Tianlan had no expression on his face, picked a chair and sat down, quietly waiting for the meeting to begin.
Time passes slowly.
At three o'clock sharp, the sound of bells sounded in the office.
Gu Xingyun, who had been sitting in the main seat with his eyes closed to rest his mind, opened his eyes. His eyes glanced around, and a smile broke out on his elegant and elegant face.
"Everyone is here."
Gu Xingyun said: "Have a meeting."
Li Tianlan was stunned for a moment and subconsciously narrowed his eyes.
Are everyone here
Du Hanyin and Dongcheng Ru, who were sitting next to him, were celebrities from the two houses respectively. They had already introduced the main figures present to Li Tianlan before the meeting began.
The conference room was large and there were many people sitting there, but it was far from complete.
There are about thirty factions in both chambers that have not been disbanded after three years.
But Du Hanyin and Dongcheng's introduction was too little.
Sky Academy five.
Seven deep sea colleges.
This also includes Donghuang Palace, Three Thousand Realms, Shadow and Jilei Peak.
In other words, among the young forces in the two houses, half of them have not yet arrived.
But Gu Xingyun said that everyone had already arrived.
Li Tianlan didn't think Gu Xingyun would make a mistake in this kind of thing.
Then it can only prove one point.
In this team exercise, more than half of the forces in the two houses chose to abstain due to various reasons.
Abstention is allowed for bicameral exercises.
But abstaining is not free, some credits will be deducted.
So abstaining is not so easy to determine.
But even so, more than half of the forces still chose to abstain. What does this mean
Li Tianlan observed everyone in the conference room calmly.
Among the twelve forces present at this time, in addition to Donghuang Palace, Shadow, and Three Thousand World Ji Lei Peak, there are eight other forces.
There is no doubt that these are forces that follow the lead of Wang Shengxiao and Gu Hanshan.
The rules formulated by Kunlun City seem to be ordinary except for increasing the casualty rate.
But in fact, team exercises, which used to be the highlight in the middle or at the end, have now become a siege with the simplest and most brutal environment as the order is adjusted.
Li Tianlan is the target of everyone's encirclement and suppression.
It can even be said to be the only goal.
Kunlun City and the Beihai Wang Family made it clear that they wanted to give Li Tianlan a chance.
Li Tianlan looked at Gu Xingyun and Gu Qianchuan.
Gu Xingyun didn't look at him.
But Gu Qianchuan's eyes were always on Li Tianlan. His eyes were ferocious and vicious, with killing intent.
Seeing Li Tianlan looking over, Gu Qianchuan raised the corner of his mouth and revealed a disdainful sneer.
Li Tianlan lowered his head again and remained calm.
Gu Xingyun smiled again.
His injuries were indeed extremely serious, and his breath was short and heavy. Even if he tried his best to hide it, he still couldn't hide it perfectly.
Li Tianlan glanced at him and lowered his head again.
"Some teams finally applied to give up this team exercise due to various reasons, and I personally agreed to their abstention. So the team battle on the first day of the exercise is probably for everyone here and your team."
Gu Xingyun took a deep breath and continued: "This year's team exercise is under special circumstances. After careful consideration, Kunlun City decided to increase the casualty rate of this exercise. But correspondingly, the credits earned will also increase accordingly, and the casualty rate will increase by 10%. Twenty, the credits will be increased by 50% according to the previous standard. As a result, the competition between you is destined to be fierce. I would like to ask formally, does anyone here want to withdraw from the exercise? "
silence.
In the silence, a clear voice sounded.
"I abstain."
Um? What
There was an uproar!
Everyone turned to look at Dongcheng Rusu, their eyes full of incredible emotions.
Dongcheng is like this...
Li Tianlan’s fiancée abstains? !
Is this because Li Tianlan has fallen out with a wealthy group
Gu Xingyun was also stunned for a moment, and he didn't even hide the surprise in his eyes.
Dongcheng's withdrawal means that there is one less possibility for a wealthy group to intervene in this exercise. He has no reason not to be surprised.
"Tōcheng-san, are you sure?"
Gu Xingyun asked, trying to keep his voice soft.
Dongcheng glanced at Gu Xingyun, nodded, stood up and walked out.
It was as if she came here to announce the news.
"I abstain."
Du Hanyin also stood up and followed Dongcheng Ru out of the conference room.
Everyone's minds were buzzing, and for a while they couldn't fully understand what was going on.
Diagonally opposite Li Tianlan, Wang Shengxiao narrowed his eyes and turned to look at Song Ci.
Song Ci didn't look at Wang Shengxiao, but just lowered his head.
Wang Shengxiao's eyes were still gentle, but the light gradually became severe.
At an absolute disadvantage, Li Tianlan didn't want to involve his woman and sent Dongcheng out of the exercise like this.
Wang Shengxiao had the absolute advantage, so why should he let his woman take risks
He looked at Song Ci without blinking.
So when everyone was in a state of astonishment, another unexpected voice sounded.
"I...I abstain!"
Song Ci gritted his teeth, his voice a little helpless, and glared at Wang Shengxiao fiercely.
Wang Shengxiao smiled and touched Song Ci's hair.
This is a man's war. Li Tianlan doesn't want his woman to take risks. As the heir of the Beihai Wang family, he has no reason to lose to Li Tianlan in terms of such courage.
Everyone's eyes began to shift, and finally fell on Gu Hanshan.
This team exercise is destined to be a life-and-death fight.
Both Li Tianlan and Wang Shengxiao sent their women out of the exercise to give them safety.
What about Guhan Mountain
The muscles on Gu Hanshan's face twitched violently, his face was expressionless and he said nothing.
Gu Youlan means Gu Hanshan, also without saying a word.
In the silence, the eyes of Li Tianlan and Wang Shengxiao seemed to intersect for a moment intentionally or unintentionally, and both sides saw a trace of ridicule in each other's eyes.
"Anyone else want to quit?"
Gu Xingyun asked.
No one spoke.
This time everyone chose to stay.
Gu Xingyun looked at Gu Hanshan, the hidden brilliance in his eyes flashed away, his tone was still calm: "Very good, since you accept the exercise, let me introduce the rules. The specific exercise tasks will be announced the day before the exercise. You. Everyone, although your competition is fierce, I still hope to be merciful to my opponents if possible, because this is not an enemy, this is just an exercise."
From his standpoint, this is what he must explain.
The scene talk is all nonsense.
It also includes the so-called rules explained by Gu Xingyun.
In fact, today Gu Hanshan and Wang Shengxiao were sitting together, advancing and retreating together, which was the most important actual content.
The actual content does not need to be said.
It's already here.
This is putting pressure on Li Tianlan, and it is also equivalent to strengthening the confidence of other young forces who follow the Beihai Wang family and Kunlun City.
This is the true meaning.
Li Tianlan quietly listened to Gu Xingyun's nonsense, feeling a little bored.
The nonsense was surprisingly long.
The meeting started at three o'clock, and Gu Xingyun didn't end until half past four.
No one had a problem with the rules of such an exercise.
So Gu Xingyun announced that the meeting was adjourned.
The young elites who attended the meeting left one after another. Before leaving, everyone glanced at Li Tianlan with meaningful eyes.
Li Tianlan was sitting alone, truly alone, with biting hostility from all directions.
He suddenly smiled, glanced at Gu Xingyun again, and then stood up to leave.
"stop."
A voice suddenly sounded from behind, calm and confident, almost commanding.
Li Tianlan turned around calmly.
"Is something wrong?"
he asked with narrowed eyes.
Gu Hanshan, who had never had any communication with Li Tianlan, walked up to Li Tianlan.
He looked into Li Tianlan's eyes carefully.
The two looked at each other.
"You said, which is more important, survival or glory?"
Gu Hanshan suddenly said: "If it were you, which one do you value most?"
No one could have imagined that Gu Hanshan would ask such a profound yet simple question in his first sentence.
Li Tianlan remained calm.
He could feel that the eyes of the two invincibles in Kunlun City were focused on him at this time.
He suddenly smiled and said calmly: "We and the enemy are the most important."
"I think master and servant are the most important."
Gu Hanshan had a vague but extremely dangerous smile on his face. His face was ordinary, but at this time he had an indescribable strength: "I am willing to give you a chance. You can be my dog." , how about I give you the power to survive and the chance to chew bones?"
Gu Hanshan's tone was very grand and generous.
"Don't be ignorant of praise."
He said softly and unhurriedly: "If you want to live, this is your last chance. If I give you face and you don't want it, I guarantee you will regret it when the time comes."
Only those who know the past of the Li family and Kunlun City will understand what Gu Hanshan means.
The Gu clan has a long history, but more than twenty years ago, there was no special warfare group in Central Continent.
At that time, there were only five major groups in Central Continent.
At that time, Gu was regarded by many people as a lackey at the feet of Li, or in other words, a lackey of the Southeast Group, and was not allowed to stand on the stage.
Guhanshan is undoubtedly proud.
He didn't want to admit the Gu family's dark history, but he wanted the Li family's heir to crawl at his feet and be his dog.
Wang Shengxiao heard this.
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he wanted to say something, but he held it back.
Let Li Tianlan be a dog
I am afraid that in the entire dark world, only Gu Hanshan has this kind of courage. It is estimated that even Gu Xingyun does not have such an idea.
Wang Shengxiao knew very well that even his father Wang Tianzong had tried to win over Li Tianlan.
As long as Li Tianlan agrees to join the Beihai Wang family, Li Tianlan's weight in the Beihai Wang family's territory will be no less important than him, the heir of the Beihai Wang family.
This is not only sincerity, but also respect for Li Tianlan's potential.
But now, Gu Hanshan lets Li Tianlan be his dog.
It's so 'awesome' and so 'cute'.
Li Tianlan's expression remained motionless.
He looked at Guhan Mountain and directly said what Wang Shengxiao wanted to say.
"Are you stupid?"
He looked at Guhan Mountain and asked seriously.
"What did you say?"
Gu Hanshan's face was cold.
"I said you were an idiot."
Li Tianlan chuckled: "Young Master of Kunlun City, are you amazing? Do you really think of yourself as a person?"
"For offending me like this, you're looking for death."
Gu Hanshan laughed gloomily, his eyes cold.
"I really don't think you are a person."
Li Tianlan said lightly: "When there is danger, I will keep my woman away from danger. Wang Shengxiao will also keep his woman away from danger. What about you?"
He looked at Gu Youlan and mocked: "When there is danger, in your eyes, your woman may just be a character who can create traps for the enemy. Is she still injured? Just based on this A little bit, you are far inferior to me, and not as good as Wang Shengxiao. When I climbed up the martial arts, I cultivated the sword energy and condensed the sword intention. I was born as a human being and had no mind and magnanimity. So what if I gave you ten hearts of heavenly kings? Just chickens and dogs."
Gu Hanshan's expression did not change at all, but his tone became colder: "Very good, very good."
Li Tianlan smiled.
What he said was actually the truth.
When he entered the world three years ago, he valued Gu Hanshan, who had the heart of a heavenly king, because the other person's realm was much higher than his.
But from a martial arts perspective, he really didn't think highly of the heir to Kunlun City.
The Gu family used to be a low-key dog, but after overthrowing the Li family, they suddenly became the war god clan of Central Continent. The rise and fall of honor and disgrace were straight up and down. In terms of heritage, they were considered a real nouveau riche.
Gu Hanshan has a high status, but he doesn't want to be far away from the shame of being Li's dog. At least it's not far enough for him to forget. In this state, he has the heart of a king, but there will definitely be problems with his state of mind. In Li Tianlan's eyes, If the young generation of Zhongzhou were to count their future opponents, not to mention Wang Shengxiao, even Jiang Shangyu would be ranked ahead of Guhanshan.
"It is not a good thing for young people to be arrogant."
Gu Xingyun's voice suddenly sounded. He walked over slowly and looked at Li Tianlan with a light smile: "Tianlan, no one will doubt your potential. But potential is not the same as combat power. A genius with amazing potential who died midway , I’ve seen a lot of them.”
Li Tianlan snorted and said, neither salty nor cool: "Your Highness is well-informed, no wonder he can cultivate such an outstanding heir. I admire you, I admire you."
Gu Xingyun showed no anger at all, and his smile became more refined and gentle: "Hanshan is young and does have many shortcomings, but they are innocuous. But there is one thing he said rightly. It is really important to be aware of current affairs and promotion. You didn’t do a good enough job in this regard.”
"If you do well, do you have to be his dog?"
Li Tianlan laughed. He suddenly thought of something: "I heard that a strong man once killed an invincible master in Kunlun City for a dog? I wonder if this is the case?"
Gu Xingyun's smile slowly faded.
He looked at Li Tianlan and said expressionlessly: "Tianlan, are you humiliating Kunlun City?"
"Don't dare."
Li Tianlan laughed: "Just asking casually."
"I don't need you to remind me of anything."
Gu Xingyun said calmly: "The Gu family did have days when they relied on others, but that was just necessary tolerance. The final winner was us. As for the Li family, no matter how glorious it was, it was destroyed."
He took a step closer to Li Tianlan and chuckled, but his voice was extremely cold: "I can tell you clearly. As long as I am here, it is impossible for the Li family to rise again. Don't you want to be a dog? Very good, then you will be an ant for the rest of your life. .”
He paused, his voice became lower, and he chuckled: "How is that old dog Li Honghe doing now? If Situ Cangyue hadn't stopped me, your grandfather would have been dead by now. Ha, but it doesn't matter. I let him do it last time Falling into the invincible realm is equivalent to knocking out his dog teeth. When I recover from the injury, at worst, I can go to Lin'an again, break his dog legs, and kill him."
Li Tianlan looked at Gu Xingyun quietly.
No anger, no panic.
There was only purity in his eyes.
"This matter will not be settled like this."
He suddenly laughed.
In front of Gu Xingyun, he bent down and took off his shoes and socks.
Facing the other party's confused gaze, Li Tianlan stepped on the ground with bare feet and chuckled: "Do you have teeth?"
