Black light broke through the void and rushed out from behind Lu Bei.
Dashitian rushed like light, flew around several times, and was overjoyed to return to his wise master. He was so excited that the whole sword was ringing with joy.
He still remembers me!
Although Dashitian cannot speak, the magic sword is spiritual, that’s roughly what it means.
Lu Bei pushed away the hilt of the sword that was approaching him, and looked in the direction of the void that was broken with confusion. It was true that this licking force was from Dashitian, but the location was wrong. The man surnamed Lin was not staying in Beijun Mountain, so where else had he gone
At this critical juncture, you are just a mere Void Refinement Realm, aren’t you afraid of killing yourself
After about a cup of tea, Lin Buyan arrived late and ran towards Lu Bei with a dark face.
To be precise, it was Dashitian who was running towards Lu Bei's side.
"Why are you here?"
"Why did you come just now?"
The two asked at the same time. Lu Bei snorted coldly and showed off his superiority. He scolded them, "How dare you! You have no manners at all. Call me Lord Ziwei."
Lin Buyan was so angry that he was shaking all over. He respectfully called him "Lord Ziwei" and explained the reason for his late arrival.
In recent times, the Tianjian Sect and the Huangji Sect have been exposing each other's dirty laundry, and the twelve states of Wu Zhou are in turmoil. Anyone with a bit of common sense can see that the conflicts between the two sides have been accumulating over time, and a war could break out at any time.
In Yuezhou, under the leadership of Lingxiao Sword Sect, the various sword-cultivating sects remained rational and did not participate in the verbal criticism of Huangji Sect.
Lu Bei knew the specific reason, but the Tianjian Sect was not aware of it and mistakenly believed that Lin Buyan was still waiting for a good price. They issued twelve orders in a row, telling him not to be optimistic and that once the war broke out, the Huangji Sect would never let the Lingxiao Sword Sect go.
What the Tianjian Sect said made sense and Lin Buyan was unable to refute it, so he held a banquet and invited the chief steward and chief commander of the Huangji Sect in Yuezhou. Both of them were elders of the Huangji Sect and had their own seats in the Council of Elders and had a say.
"So, you came back halfway through the meal?"
"No, as soon as I reached the door, I followed Dashitian back as soon as I stepped in." Lin Buyan said helplessly.
"As expected of you, your sword-flying speed is slow. It takes you half an hour to travel this distance."
"The air traffic control in Yuezhou is strict. We can't go faster even if we want to." Lin Buyan was even more helpless. It was a turbulent time. He didn't want to attract attention, so he could only act according to the rules.
"That's true."
Lu Bei nodded, and at Lin Buyan's urging, he explained the reason for his visit.
Just three simple words, and it was exposed.
"What was exposed, what was exposed?"
Lin Buyan's eyelids jumped, and he immediately cursed: "Are you crazy? You came to me after you were exposed, and you are so blatant. What if someone sees you?"
"It's because I've been exposed that I'm so blatant. Otherwise, I wouldn't come even if you invited me."
Lu Bei glared at Lin Buyan unhappily and said, "The country has its own laws, and the family has its own rules. Speak politely to your superiors, or else don't blame me for taking it too far and charging you with the crime of disrespecting the law."
Dog official!
Lin Buyan cursed in his heart, but he put on a smile and said in a sarcastic way, "Where did you give yourself away? Lu Ziwei is as smart as a monkey. Who can see your flaws? The Monkey King?"
"This is also my fault. I did something unnecessary and shouldn't have done it."
Lu Bei spread his hands and told the story of Shuizeyuan's encounter with a mysterious man and the robbery of a conservative criminal.
"I went to Tieshan Prison just to exchange sword skills with the seniors. I didn't expect that they were all enemies of my enemy. After Jing Ji learned about this, he never contacted me again."
Lu Bei looked at Lin Buyan and asked, "How are things on your side? Did Jing Ji contact you using the Thousand Mile Talisman?"
"Every day at midnight, for six days in a row."
Lin Buyan recalled and frowned, "Jing Ji never mentioned you, not even once..."
As he spoke, he explained the orders from the Heavenly Sword Sect one by one, and sighed, "Jing Ji's patience has run out, and this Sect Master can't delay any longer. Today, I am inviting the two Huangji Sect elders to a banquet just to clear the relationship before the war, so that the Lingxiao Sword Sect can withdraw in time."
"Can't it be delayed a little longer?"
"If we delay any longer, the Heaven Sword Sect will come to kill us."
"…" x2
Lu Bei frowned. Lin Buyan was right. If they continued to waste time, once the Tianjian Sect came to attack them, it would be with the force of thunder and lightning. More likely, it would be a collective siege by the Iron Sword Alliance.
By then, the Huangji Sect would be happy to watch the fun, not only would they not lend a helping hand, they would also secretly applaud.
It is impossible to count on the Huangji Sect to come to the rescue. The annihilation of the Lingxiao Sword Sect by the Tianjian Sect is in line with their interests. With some manipulation, the demise of the Lingxiao Sword Sect will become the best case to incite other sword-cultivating sects to rebel.
There is no future in hanging out with the Tianjian Sect. Does the Lingxiao Sword Sect know this? They are the direct descendants, but what happened? They were killed at will.
On the contrary, Lingxiao Sword Sect expressed goodwill to Huangji Sect and distanced itself from Tianjian Sect at this moment. Although it would put itself on the stake, be branded as disloyal and unjust, and be collectively ostracized by the sword cultivators of the Iron Sword Alliance, it was a timely withdrawal and a timely stop loss. As the best example of surrender, Huangji Sect would never treat Lingxiao Sword Sect unfairly.
It's a good deal.
Besides having a bad reputation.
Lin Buyan was at a loss as to what to do and looked at Lu Bei helplessly. The pot was too big for a mere Silver Guard like him to shoulder, and the Purple Guard should have taken the lead.
It's so funny. When Lu Ziwei takes the lead, he has never taken the lead before, and this time is no exception.
"Work hard, and the organization will not treat you unfairly."
Lu Bei patted Lin Buyan on the shoulder and encouraged him, "Right now is the time when Wu Zhou needs Lin Yinwei, so go ahead and do it boldly. Don't be afraid of sacrifice. I'm here for you. If anything goes wrong, Ling Xiao Sword Sect still has me!"
It is because of you that I cannot die.
Lin Buyan secretly complained and frowned, "I have no choice but to join the Huangji Sect at this moment. May I ask if Lord Ziwei can mediate and find a way to get out of here without damaging the reputation of Lingxiao Sword Sect?"
"Didn't your boss tell you anything?"
"Your mother told me to do it boldly and not to be afraid of sacrifice. She is behind me. If anything really happens, she will take care of my wife and children." Lin Buyan rolled his eyes and thought to himself that this mother and son are biological children, but this family does nothing that humans can do.
“Great!”
Lu Bei nodded repeatedly and said happily, "Master Lu and Senior Brother have their godmother to take care of them, Lingxiao Sword Sect and Senior Sister Bai have me to care for them, the head of the sect no longer has any worries, this is a happy funeral!"
Lin Buyan was so exhausted that he almost died on the spot. He said angrily in a deep voice: "Stop talking nonsense. You can kill me, but the reputation of Lingxiao Sword Sect cannot be humiliated. If you have any solution, please tell me now."
"I really don't have that. Unless you die at the hands of the Nine Sword Elders, the Lingxiao Sword Sect will rebel in anger to preserve justice."
Lu Bei spread his hands and replied seriously.
Because of rejection by his own kind, he didn't like Lin Buyan, but he never denied that Lin Buyan was a qualified leader. It was a great fortune for Lingxiao Sword Sect to have Lin as the leader.
If something goes wrong, Sect Leader Lin is really willing to die!
Lin Buyan's eyelids twitched. He still said the same thing, he could die, but he must die together with Lu Bei. Lingxiao Sword Sect must not perish at the hands of Lu Bei.
"Where is Sect Leader Lin going?"
Seeing Lin Buyan turned around and left without saying a word, Lu Bei hurriedly shouted, "Da Shitian is still here with me, don't you want him anymore?"
Of course I want to, but Dashitian also has to be willing to go with me!
Lin Buyan was so angry that he didn't bother to say anything more to Lu Bei. He took out an iron sword and flew to the dinner party.
It has been delayed for such a long time, the Huangji Sect must be getting impatient.
"Go, follow Sect Leader Lin, don't let him suffer any loss."
Lu Bei gave an order, and Dashitian chased after him, decisively carrying out his master's mission.
In the past, when Lu Bei's Immortal Sword Intent was still incomplete, Dashitian acted like a dog. Now that the Immortal Sword Intent was complete, Dashitian obeyed his orders without hesitation, not to mention submitting to Lin Buyan, even if it was the elder of the Huangji Sect, Dashitian would not refuse.
Anyway, it's the master's task, it doesn't matter who does it.
Dashitian was lost and then recovered, and Lin Buyan was very sad. Time and time again, they could never go back to the way they were.
whoosh!
As the golden light approached, Lin Buyan turned to look at Lu Bei, asking him why he followed him.
"I suddenly remembered that I have a grandfather in the Huangji Sect named Zhu Heng, who serves as the Grand Elder. With me following him, the negotiations will definitely go much more smoothly." Lu Bei explained.
"Zhu Heng... Grandpa..."
Lin Buyan was speechless: "As expected of you, you have recognized a relative so quickly, but... does your godmother know that you have demoted her generation for nothing? Aren't you afraid that she will be angry?"
"I don't think so..."
Lu Bei was a little unconfident when asked: "Grandpa is just an empty title. I call him Grandpa, and godmother calls him Xiao Zhu. Everyone has their own opinions."
"Oh."
Lin Buyan remained silent, smiling with his face but not his heart, and secretly thought that it was a very filial piety.
—
Dong'an County, Zhanchi County.
Zhanchi County is the first county of Dong'an County and also the seat of Huangji Sect of Yuezhou. It controls the key place and is the first checkpoint to block the invasion of Xiong Chu. Its geographical location is very important.
Lin Buyan is hosting a banquet here for the chief steward and the commander-in-chief with full sincerity, so the two elders can rest assured to attend the banquet at their doorstep.
Although the results were slightly different, as he carried a stick with him to beat up Elder Nine Swords, but everyone was in the Void Refinement Realm, and no one was much stronger than the other in terms of realm, so I thought the two elders wouldn't mind.
Hongyue Building.
The most prestigious restaurant in Zhanchi County, it only entertains cultivators. Its many fine wines and delicacies are well-known in Yuezhou, and it is also the property of Huangji Sect here.
Lin Buyan invited the two elders to meet in Room No. 1 of Tianzi. He was almost an hour late and burst into laughter as soon as he pushed the door open.
"My dear elders, please wait a long time. I will punish myself... punish..."
After seeing the situation in the room clearly, Lin Buyan's face darkened, his pupils shrank into needle points, and he couldn't say the second half of the sentence no matter what.
Lu Bei followed closely behind, his expression also changed suddenly, and he secretly said it was troublesome.
But inside the room, the chief steward and the commander-in-chief clinked their glasses together, with harmonious expressions on their faces, and maintained this posture without moving.
Looking closely, although the two men had smiles on their faces, their bodies were already cold, the blood on their necks was faint and invisible, and their souls dissipated along with their bodies under the powerful sword intent.
"what to do?"
"You wait here, don't leave."
Lu Bei took three steps back and put some distance between himself and Lin Buyan. He warned him sternly, "Don't leave. If you leave, you won't be able to explain yourself. I will go to Beijun Mountain to seize the position of the head. Remember, from now on, you have nothing to do with Lingxiao Sword Sect."
