Waiting until Li Tianlan's figure disappeared from sight, Zhuang Huayang took a deep breath and turned around slowly.
The battlefield was now in a mess. The originally neat path was completely destroyed. The woods on both sides of the road were in shambles. Countless branches and broken tree trunks were scattered everywhere. Zhuang Huayang walked indifferently and finally stopped in front of Jie. .
"Won't you follow and protect him secretly?"
Zhuang Huayang asked casually. There were several top assassins in Sighing City, and they were all very suitable candidates to be in charge of the assassination courses of Sky Academy. Not to mention the deputy city lord Jie, when he first communicated with Sighing City, Zhuang Huayang even had no knowledge of Qingfeng Liuyun. Never expected it.
After all, Sigh City has been isolated from the world for many years, and no one is interested in intervening in affairs outside the Northeast. With Situ Cangyue's personality, Zhuang Huayang didn't expect her to send a right-hand man like Qingfeng Liuyun to condescend to Sky Academy. His The target has been staring at several other assassins, all of them are slightly worse than Qingfeng Liuyun, but they are qualified to represent the super assassins or killers of the City of Sighs.
For example, demons, monsters, and Xu Yuan, Du Ying.
Any one of these four is qualified for the position in Sky Academy, and they are more than adequate. They are the real targets of Zhuang Huayang's invitation.
In recent years, the Academy and the City of Sighs have become relatively close. If the four assassins come to Sky Academy, it is enough to show that the cooperation between the City of Sighs and the Academy has become closer. For both parties, such cooperation is a win-win situation.
Kunlun City has been making small moves against Sighing City in recent years. The Central Continent Fierce Soldier Sunset on Situ Cangyue can be said to be the dream of God of War Gu Xingyun, and it is also Gu Xingyun's biggest plot in recent years.
Even Gu Yunxia's speech at the entrance ceremony of Sky Academy is part of the operation of Kunlun City. If her speech does not encounter any setbacks in Sky Academy, it is estimated that it will spread to Youzhou soon. , and then spread to the Northeast.
However, her words were directly blocked by Zhuang Huayang, and the influence of those words had been greatly reduced. Zhuang Huayang invited the assassins of Sigh City to join the Sky Academy, which was tantamount to testing whether Sigh City had more and more influence on Kunlun City in recent years. Possibility of counterattack with small moves.
If the assassins of Sighing City join the Sky Academy, it can almost be said to be the first time that Sighing City has left the Northeast since its establishment, and it also means the beginning of the competition between Sighing City and Kunlun City.
Controlling the contradiction between the two within a certain level is a situation that the academic faction is happy to see. The academic faction can then take the opportunity to expand its influence in the special warfare system, and will also provide a certain degree of support to the City of Sighs.
No one would find it troublesome to do things that are mutually beneficial.
But the only thing Zhuang Huayang didn't expect was that Situ Cangyue would send Jie here.
The strongest assassin in Central Continent, who is not an ordinary person in this realm, but whose combat power and lethality are superior to that of his principal, enters the Sky Academy. Not only the Kunlun City department is uncomfortable, but even Zhuang Huayang himself is happy and has a headache.
Putting the robbery in Sky Academy can no longer be said to be Sighing City's counterattack against Kunlun City. The sharpest assassin in Central Continent has stepped from the northeast to Huating. It also means that Sighing City has always been independent from the world since its establishment. About to wake up completely.
Naturally, all this is not entirely because of Kunlun City.
It can only be because of Li Tianlan.
Even because of Li Tianlan's factors, it is even bigger than Kunlun City.
The robbery at Sky Academy completely shows that Sigh City already knows Li Tianlan's identity.
Zhuang Huayang knew Li Tianlan's identity, and he also knew about the entanglement between Situ Cangyue and Li Kuangtu back then. I am afraid that the upper class of Central Continent had heard about this. The Central Continent Hidden God in Sighing City had no idea whether Li Kuangtu's son was in love with Wujiwu or Wu. It is not difficult for people to understand the hatred of Wujiwu.
Now with the arrival of the calamity and barely able to save Li Tianlan, Sigh City's position has become clear.
Do you love the house and the bird
Zhuang Huayang was thoughtful, and he suddenly realized that it was a wonderful move to win Li Tianlan into the academy. In a short period of time, this young man with a sensitive identity had connected too many things intentionally or unintentionally.
"unnecessary."
Jie slowly spoke. When he was not speaking, he seemed to be a shadow in the darkness. He was so quiet that even if he stood there, people would ignore him involuntarily. But once he spoke, his low and hoarse voice would instantly attract people. All attention: "With the young city lord in his current state, he doesn't need anyone to protect him. I can't stop anyone who can kill him."
Zhuang Huayang looked stunned: "Young City Lord?"
"Sighing City will announce this news in the near future, confirming that Li Tianlan will be the next generation city lord of Sighing City."
Zed said in a calm tone.
Zhuang Huayang's face changed, and his expression was extremely exciting for a moment.
Two opposite emotions of ecstasy and worry were intertwined in his heart. He opened his mouth and said subconsciously: "This is really an accident."
Li Tianlan became the Young City Lord of Kunlun City. The information behind this news was too much and too complicated.
From the perspective of the academy, this is naturally a good thing. The lonely descendant of the Li family joining the academy is completely different from the young city lord of Sighing City joining the academy. In the former, everyone can only look forward to his potential and growth, but in the latter It can bring the relationship between the Academy and the City of Sighs closer, which is probably what everyone in the Academy wants.
But looking at the overall situation of the Central Continent's special warfare system, this is definitely not good news.
The City of Sighs, which has been silent since its establishment, suddenly announced their heir, and he is also a stranger to most people. Not to mention whether most people are curious, at least they have been paying attention to the City of Sighs. Some big forces will definitely try their best to find out Li Tianlan's identity.
The young city lord of Sigh City is named Li.
This news itself is a major clue.
It is no exaggeration to say that once the news about Sigh City is announced, Li Tianlan will be directly exposed to the eyes of all parties. How long can his identity be hidden
one day? Or two days
Once his identity is revealed, a violent storm will definitely set off in the entire Central Continent's special operations system.
The descendant of the Li family became the young city lord of Sighing City, which would make countless big shots sleepless.
The Prince Group, City of Sighs, Dongcheng Family, Kunlun City, Beihai Wang Family, Samsara, and even some foreign forces related to the events of that year will be completely involved. When the entire Central Continent is filled with smoke, how will the academic sect deal with it
Li Tianlan... Li Tianlan...
Zhuang Huayang muttered something in his heart, shook his head, and smiled bitterly in his heart, this is simply a disaster.
"I suggest His Majesty the Hidden God to take it easy on this matter."
Zhuang Huayang finally spoke. As he spoke, he emphasized again: "Well, take your time."
Li Tianlan's current physical condition is extremely bad, and no one can see his future clearly, but at least according to Zhuang Huayang's knowledge, although it is extremely difficult for him to recover, it is not without hope. Once he recovers, he will be able to recover again. He has become the young city lord of Kunlun City. When his identity is exposed, both Kunlun City and the Prince Group will probably rush over and tear him into pieces.
At that time, the entire Central Continent special operations system will immediately become extremely chaotic, and it may even allow some foreign forces to take advantage of it.
No matter how much the academics want to have a say in the special warfare system, they cannot do so. For hundreds of years, high-ranking officials, generals, even those in the invincible realm, have always acted within the rules and fought too hard to allow foreign forces to take advantage of them. How is this different from treason
Zhuang Huayang was silent, thinking about the treason case twenty years ago, his eyes seemed to have a hint of gloom.
"We need to take it slow, at least wait for Tianlan to recover first."
Zed nodded, but his eyes were a little confused.
Although Li Tianlan's sword was forcibly pushed back by him, there was not much overdraft potential and vitality left. Jie didn't know why Li Tianlan still had one foot in the Thunder Realm, but presumably it was because of his excessive overdraft of vitality. It is related. Although I can't figure it out, it is the only explanation. It is not easy to recover from such a strange state.
Do we really want to get in touch with the Beihai Wang family
At present, it seems that this is the only way to recover Li Tianlan.
The Wang family of Beihai does have a way to save Li Tianlan, but what is helpless is that he can't bring out any decent bargaining chips. Talking to Wang Tianzong about this is not drawing his blood at all. It's not even trying to dig out his heart. Too much.
The Fierce Soldier Sunset in Sigh City is quite important, but it belongs to Central Continent. Sigh City has the right to use it, but it has no trading rights.
Zed stood quietly, the mask that almost covered his entire face flickered, and his expression could not be seen, but his eyes became obviously irritable.
"What's Tianlan's current situation like?"
Zhuang Huayang glanced at Jie and asked suddenly.
"Extremely poor health, extremely strong fighting ability."
Zed replied subconsciously, his mind clearly not on this.
"In short, let's take it slow regarding the Young City Lord. If he can recover, it would be best to wait until he graduates before announcing the matter."
Zhuang Huayang said seriously: "That is the best time. I will also tell His Majesty the Hidden God God my suggestions."
Li Tianlan graduated three years later.
If Li Tianlan can recover in the past three years, it will be enough for the academy to completely value his value.
Three years can also allow the academy to get closer to all parties.
Three years later, the mid-term election has almost settled. As the current ruling group in Zhongzhou, the leader will definitely have an outbreak after stabilizing the situation. By then, not only the academic faction will be dominant, at least, the academic faction will be the dominant one in three years' time. will be stronger than now.
That's when everything is ready.
As for now...
Everything is still clear and the future is unclear. Li Tianlan's identity has been exposed. Once the Prince Group and Kunlun City attack with all their strength, their own strength will not be enough at all, or even far behind.
Once the conflict breaks out, City of Sighs will definitely go all out.
But the key to the problem is that City of Sighs has been independent of the world since its establishment. When people mention this organization, people will think it is very powerful. And if you think about it carefully, you don’t know how powerful they are. City of Sighs, which has less than a thousand people, is basically Relying on the support of Situ Cangyue and several top assassins, as a newly established giant force, compared with Kunlun City and the Prince Group, Sigh City is far behind in terms of scale and foundation.
The Dongcheng family seems to be close to Li Tianlan now, but the actual relationship is confusing. Zhuang Huayang can't guarantee what kind of support the Dongcheng family will give Li Tianlan when the great changes occur. Even if they are willing to go all out, there are still many problems within the wealthy group. But they have always been very loose. It would be good not to cause trouble to the Dongcheng family. Expecting them to work together has never happened.
Even the academic faction, with everything Li Tianlan has shown now, does not seem to be enough to make the academic faction determined to go to war with the Prince Group and Kunlun City at all costs, especially during this sensitive period.
Everything is still unclear, so it's better to keep a low profile.
Jie glanced at Zhuang Huayang, turned around and walked towards Sky Academy without saying a word.
Zhuang Huayang frowned slightly, but he also knew that the Shadow King of Central Continent was notoriously difficult to get along with. He gave a helpless smile and prepared to leave.
A cell phone ringtone suddenly rang.
Zhuang Huayang was stunned for a moment and then answered the call.
On the phone, Qin Weibai's cold voice sounded: "Principal Zhuang, is there another body at the scene?"
Zhuang Huayang was stunned for a moment, and sure enough he saw the black robe lying on the ground not far away with his eyes open.
"have."
He nodded and chuckled.
"Keep it."
Qin Weibai's tone was indifferent: "I'm leaving in a hurry. Maybe I've seen that person before."
Zhuang Huayang said hello with a smile and hung up the phone.
------
at the same time.
Inside the garden feast, Wang Yuetong, whose eyes were red and swollen from crying, ran wildly through an ancient and picturesque bridge and flowing water, and came directly to the octagonal pavilion in the center.
In the pavilion, Wang Tianzong's figure was still sitting there, seeming to be meditating. After he was completely quiet, he was finally no longer the center of the world. He seemed to have become a part of the pavilion. Just by feeling, he didn't even feel it. to his presence.
Wang Yuetong hesitated for a moment, gritted her teeth, and walked over anyway, calling softly: "Dad."
"Um?"
Wang Tianzong, who seemed to be thinking, suddenly came back to his senses. Looking at his baby daughter's red and swollen eyes, his eyes suddenly condensed: "What's going on? That boy dares to bully you?"
"No."
Wang Yuetong shook her head in panic: "He didn't bully me, he saved me again. Someone just attacked me, three thunder realms."
Three thunder realms!
No matter where it is, this is a huge force.
No one thought that this was aimed at Li Tianlan. To kill Li Tianlan, a thunder level would be enough if others did not know his details.
The other party showed a sneak attack by a raiding team, and within a few days, three more Thunder Realm attacks were launched. Everyone would think that this was aimed at Wang Yuetong.
Wang Tianzong narrowed his eyes slightly and said calmly: "Where is the Enchantress?"
"Sixth sister was entangled at that time."
Wang Yuetong bit her lip, trying to calm down her emotions, and said softly: "Dad, Senior Brother Tianlan saved me again at a critical moment. He fired a sword and burned his own potential and vitality. You... Can you save him?"
Wang Tianzong glanced at her. His eyes were not sharp, but even gentle. But under this look, Wang Yuetong became more nervous than ever before.
"How do you want me to save him?"
Wang Tianzong asked lightly.
"I... I want a bottle..."
"Is he worthy?"
Wang Tianzong didn't wait for Wang Yuetong to finish speaking, and interrupted her directly: "He deserves it? I don't deserve it, so why should he?"
"He saved you, and I will express my gratitude in my own way, but what you want is impossible."
Wang Yuetong's face suddenly turned pale, and crystal tears welled up in her eyes again. She tried her best to hold it back, and with a pleading in her hoarse voice, she whispered: "Please, Dad."
"It's useless to beg me. There are some things that are the foundation of the Beihai Wang family. Can I give it to you if you act like a coquettish girl?"
Wang Tianzong's eyes gradually became stern: "Yuetong, you are too willful, and I am very disappointed in you. Maybe it was a mistake to let you come to Huating this time from the beginning."
Wang Yuetong stood there, stunned. After a long time, she smiled sadly and said softly: "Yes, it was wrong from the beginning."
Wang Tianzong turned his head and looked at the water outside the pavilion, and said calmly: "There is no need to talk about this matter anymore, I don't agree."
"dad... "
"Get down!"
Wang Tianzong suddenly spoke and said in a deep voice.
Wang Yuetong's tears finally couldn't help but flow down. She glanced at her father's back, turned around and left.
Wang Tianzong didn't look back, he just sat there and shook his head, and said calmly: "That's outrageous."
"Who is your Majesty talking about?"
An old and gentle voice sounded.
Xuan Xuanzi, dressed in Taoist robes, walked into the pavilion with a gentle smile and eyes as bright as stars.
"This girl Yuetong has been spoiled by me."
Wang Tianzong stood up and said with a smile: "The Taoist Master is laughing at the joke, please sit down."
"Her Royal Highness the Princess is a little lucky star. Without her, how could you have discovered a talent like Li Tianlan?"
Xuan Xuanzi sat across from Wang Tianzong with a smile and said softly.
"Talent? Not anymore. I heard that he just burned his vitality and potential with a sword. Although I don't know the specific situation, but looking at Yuetong's appearance, I'm afraid it won't be much better."
Wang Tianzong shook his head and said calmly.
"He should have a disaster in the near future, it is destiny."
Xuan Xuanzi smiled and said, "This boy should be saved."
"not worth."
Wang Tianzong thought seriously for a while, and then said decisively.
Xuan Xuanzi smiled and said nothing. He had never forcibly changed other people's minds. He said every word he said. Whether the other party listened or not was none of his business.
"Don't you want to ask what's going on?"
Xuan Xuanzi asked with a smile.
"Yuetong, just be fine."
Wang Tianzong sighed: "That girl is so lost, what can she ask? Let's wait until the enchantress comes over."
He paused and said calmly: "Does the Taoist priest know who the attacker is?"
"Know their general location, but I can't say."
Xuan Xuanzi chuckled and pointed to the top of his head: "If I say it clearly, I will be punished by God."
The most he can do is to give some advice to some people in the Beihai Wang family. The collision of super powers is related to the general trend of the world. Even if Xuan Xuanzi can control a little bit of the national destiny, he would not dare to speak out about it.
Masters of metaphysics all believe in destiny and destiny, and there are certain things that cannot be said. This is a rule.
Wang Tianzong glanced at him, smiled and nodded: "Playing chess?"
"good."
Xuanxuanzi took out a chess piece from the chess box and placed it on the chessboard carved on the stone table.
Wang Tianzong also made moves.
One black and one white, spreading on the chessboard.
"boom!"
Before the game of chess was finished, a violent explosion suddenly sounded.
The fire in the garden feast instantly shot into the sky, the violent explosion spread almost throughout the mountains, and the entire garden feast was shaking violently.
The alarm device in the garden feast sounded immediately.
Wang Tianzong's expression changed, and his entire body disappeared immediately.
A white stone swayed in the air and finally landed squarely on the chessboard.
Amidst the loud roar, Xuan Xuanzi remained motionless, just staring at the expectation in front of him, squinting his eyes and chuckled: "Good move."
He looked at the direction Wang Tianzong left, shook his head, and murmured to himself: "The place where destiny belongs... When the genius rises..."
The violent explosion was still ringing, drowning out all the murmurs of the old Taoist priest.
May 2nd.
This was the second day that Wang Tianzong came to Huating for the first time in five years.
The garden feast suffered an inexplicable attack.
The garden feast that to some extent represented the face of the Beihai Wang family in Huating exploded, and nearly a third of the area was destroyed.
Wang Shengxiao, the heir to the Wang family in Beihai, was seriously injured.
The little princess Wang Yuetong.
mysteriously disappeared.
