Zhan Hongqu smiled bitterly. She had tried to persuade Zhan Lexian, but the latter refused to listen and she was helpless.
"I will go back to Tianjian Peak now and explain everything to my father in person. He will definitely change his mind after hearing it." After a moment, Zhan Hongqu said with determination.
"That's not necessary. You will most likely not come back after you leave."
Lu Bei chuckled, "Let's not talk about Elder Zhan's stubborn temper and whether Senior Sister Zhan can persuade him. As for me, I have no intention of letting you go back."
"What's the meaning?"
"Sister Zhan, stay with me. If Qing Qian's rebellion fails, Elder Zhan will have a way out by selling his daughter to survive. When you return to Tianjian Peak, you will be confined and not allowed to go out. Whether Elder Zhan is willing or not, he will clear the suspicion of being an undercover agent for you."
Lu Bei had a good reason. Seeing Zhan Hongqu's unhappy expression, he said bluntly, "Honest advice hurts the ear. That's the truth. Just stay still and don't cause trouble for him."
"Father is not that kind of person." Zhan Hongqu's eyes widened.
"I know that Elder Zhan doesn't play both sides, nor does he bet on both sides, and he will not sell out his daughter, but..."
Lu Bei spread his hands and said, "Except for me, no one will believe it. Neither the Huangji Sect nor the Tianjian Sect will believe it. If I am right, Elder Zhan must have suffered a lot of grievances on Tianjian Peak because of his affair with me."
Zhan Hongqu's face changed, and he suddenly realized: "You detained me on purpose, just for this?"
"Senior sister, please don't wrongly accuse a good person. I am just going with the flow. The one who made the decision was Elder Zhan. It was actually his idea that I detained you."
"… "
Zhan Hongqu was completely confused, but he understood only one thing: his old father had been wronged at Tianjian Peak.
"This battle won't last long. You will meet Elder Zhan soon. You'd better stay by my side these days, otherwise you will be sent to the dark room." Lu Bei made the decision without waiting for Zhan Hongqu to say anything.
He had a vague impression of version 1.0. Analyzing the actions of the Wu Zhou border and neighboring countries, he knew that neither the royal family nor the Huangji Sect would drag their feet. If both sides joined forces, Tianjian Peak would be razed to the ground in no time.
At the side, the temporary bodyguard Lian Lin secretly cast a contemptuous look.
You hooked up with another senior sister, aren’t you tired
The first generation leader abandoned the classics and asked for the sword, and was as calm as water in the face of the world, and had never been involved in any scandals. The second generation...
The world is full of turbulent waves, strong winds and huge waves, and it never stops for a moment.
The gaze was too direct, without any disguise. Lu Bei caught it clearly and glared back fiercely.
What is cultivation of immortality
Escape into the world of mortals and challenge your weaknesses.
As for Buddhism, if I don’t go to hell, who will? If you don’t even have this little bit of awareness, how can you become an immortal
Also, they used Bai Jin, She Xuan, and Zhu Qilan as examples to say that he coveted beauty. Although he was innocent, he gritted his teeth and admitted it reluctantly. What's the point of using the example of beheading Hongqu
God bless him, he chose Senior Sister Zhan as a backup just for the experience and nothing else, and he never had any base thoughts.
"Let's go to Yizhou for a walk."
Lu Bei waved his hand and took Zhan Hongqu and two bodyguards and thugs with him to head towards Yizhou.
He received a mission from the Huangji Sect from his cousin to clear out the power of the Iron Sword Alliance among the three states. The sword cultivation forces in Ningzhou and Linzhou are average, and his younger brothers and the players are enough to deal with them. The map level of Yizhou is slightly higher, so he decided to go there in person.
A total of 30 million experience points, which is quite a lot.
Prior to this, Lu Bei had used Jing Ji's list to investigate the Yizhou Iron Sword Alliance's joining of the Sword Cultivation Sect. Each of the sect leaders was very mature. Although they were not as smooth as Lin Buyan, they all understood the principles of the world, so it was not difficult to persuade them to surrender.
In fact, the reason why these "hard bones" are so tough is simply to show their attitude to the Tianjian Sect. When the Huangji Sect comes knocking, they will surrender faster than anyone else.
…
Yizhou, Langtou Mountain, Shuijing Jiange.
Pavilion Master Duan Tianci has reached the great perfection of the Refining Void Realm. When Lu Bei had just broken through to the Refining Void Realm, he came to him to demonstrate his sword skills. After a friendly exchange between the two, Duan Tianci was relieved of his psychological trauma.
It’s as big as three bedrooms and two living rooms.
Arriving at Wolf Head Mountain again, Lu Bei was still at the initial stage of Refining Void Realm, only his skills were slightly enhanced, but not much, and the strengths were limited.
"So it's Junior Brother Lu who's here. I'm honored to meet you."
With the swaying formation of the Water Mirror Sword Pavilion in the background, Duan Tianci looked happy to meet an old friend. He clasped his hands and said, "Come in quickly. I have prepared some wine. I must get drunk with Junior Brother Lu today."
As I was speaking, my heart felt like fifteen buckets of water, beating up and down.
Last time, he revealed Lu Bei's information to Wen Bubei. Later, he found out that Wen Bubei and his disciple Mei Wangsu had disappeared and there has been no news of them since then.
It is normal for cultivators to have no news for thirty to fifty years. Duan Tianci hopes that he can always keep in touch with the mountain gate so as not to become a cultivator who disappears without a trace.
"Thank you for your kindness, Pavilion Master Duan, but forget about the drinking."
Lu Bei smiled and waved his hand: "Some time ago, Lu was blinded by women and vowed to quit drinking. From then on, he never touched alcohol."
"…" x3
Zhan Hongqu looked away, Lian Lin and Wang Yan lowered their heads, too embarrassed to face anyone. The heaven is blind, the Tianjian Sect’s crime is not worthy of this!
"You are so kind and sincere. You correct your mistakes. Junior Brother Lu is a real man!"
Duan Tianci was deeply impressed and said with a moved face: "In this case, it doesn't matter if you don't drink this wine. I will follow Junior Brother Lu to quit gambling in the future."
As sword cultivators, Lu Bei was often locked up in a small dark room when he killed Hongqu. Lian Lin and Wang Yan even stayed in the small dark room for hundreds of years. However, there was a reason why Duan Tianci could become the leader of a sect.
"It's better to quit gambling. Gambling does great harm to people. There are many people who have lost their fortunes and their families have been broken up. What do you think, Pavilion Master Duan?" Lu Bei said meaningfully.
"reasonable."
"Well, let's stop talking nonsense."
Lu Bei raised his hands and pointed: "The last time I left Wolf Head Mountain, I had an appointment with Pavilion Master Duan. I will visit him another day to ask him for his profound sword skills."
How can we not compare
Duan Tianci had a bitter look on his face. He had fought with Lu Bei before and was defeated miserably. He was pinned to the ground and almost couldn't stand.
Compare again...
He had heard that Lu Bei, a third-generation disciple of Lingxiao Sword Sect, had realized the Immortal Sword Intention and defeated three great elders of Huangji Sect in a row. There were also forty-seven sword cultivators of Tianjian Sect who were like-minded, seven of whom were in the combined form and forty of whom were in the refined form. With this force, the Tianjian Sect was split into two factions in one fell swoop. It was the time when the Tianjian Sect was at its peak and its luck was at its peak.
Regardless of whether the immortal sword intent was true or not, the forty-seven thugs alone were enough to leave Wolf Head Mountain barren. How could he compete with Lu Bei in sword intent
"Brother Lu, please don't slander Duan. In front of you, anyone who dares to boast of his profound sword skills will only become a laughing stock."
“That’s right.”
Lu Bei thought for a moment and pointed at the three lackeys beside him: "To be honest with you, Pavilion Master Duan, I came here today with a mission and I can't go for nothing. These three sword cultivators are all at the Fusion Stage. You can pick any one."
Lian Lin and Wang Yan took a step forward. Zhan Hongqu looked around and was shocked to find that he was also a lackey. Lu Bei pushed him on the shoulder and he took a step forward.
Doesn't look very smart.
But the realm cannot be false, and the sword cultivator who was firmly in the fusion stage made Duan Tianci shake his head.
He did not have Lu Bei's ability to cross the border to challenge. With his body at the Great Perfection of the Void Refining Realm to challenge the Fusion Realm, he was doomed to fail miserably.
"Master Duan, do you think these three are incompetent and unworthy..."
"Don't say any more."
Duan Tianci couldn't stop smiling bitterly: "Brother Lu, please don't embarrass me. The three seniors have extraordinary sword skills. Any one of them is much stronger than me. It doesn't matter if we don't compete with each other."
"What does Pavilion Master Duan mean?"
"Junior Brother Lu, the Shuijing Sword Pavilion is not just Duan, the lives of the entire mountain depend on me, I dare not speak lightly."
Duan Tianci looked up at the sky helplessly and sighed, "Today, I surrender to you. Tomorrow, the envoy of the Heavenly Sword Sect will come, and I will surrender to him again. What about the day after tomorrow? Will you come again?"
Indeed, the masters in the fusion stage come and go without a trace. On Tianjian Peak, not to mention the elders at the Nine Swords level, there are also many high-level fighters like Mei Wangsu. If the Huangji Sect misses even one in its blockade of the three western states, it will be a devastating blow to the surrendered sword cultivators.
However, the rear was unstable and the influence of the Iron Sword Alliance in various states was not eliminated, so the Huangji Sect could not let go and fight a big battle with the Tianjian Sect.
It seemed that the situation suddenly became contradictory.
Lu Bei is not a selfish person who only cares about himself and ignores the lives of others. Having seen Lin Buyan's situation and knowing Duan Tianci's difficulties, he does not intend to make things difficult for the other party.
He smiled and said, "Master Duan, don't worry. I have come here prepared and will not make things difficult for you. You just need to be obedient. Every blade of grass and every tree on Wolf Head Mountain will remain the same as it was before."
"Please Master Lu...Please teach me, Master."
"You lead all the disciples to the camp of the Grand Commander of the Huangji Sect in Yizhou and set up camp there, which will ensure your safety for the rest of your life."
"???"
Why is it the Huangji Sect? Which side are you on
Duan Tianci was stunned and was about to say something when suddenly a hand was placed on his shoulder and patted him twice.
"Don't worry, if he asks you to surrender, you surrender."
On the opposite side, Lian Lin's face changed drastically. Duan Tianci realized it later and reacted half a beat late. The moment he woke up, his face suddenly changed.
Who is it, who is behind him
Duan Tianci turned around slowly. Behind him, he saw a thin old man in black, carrying a square sword case on his back. His eyes were sharp and he looked vigorous and elegant.
Who is this person
Duan Tianci's face was filled with fear. Although he could not recognize the old man's identity, he felt as if he was in the abyss of the ocean, facing the infinite vastness.
Looking again, the sky is boundless and all things are low, only a sword rises from the ground, daring to compete with the sky and daring to be equal to the sky.
The same question flashed through Lu Bei's mind. The old man's appearance was unexpected but natural, as if he had always been there but had just not spoken, so everyone ignored his existence.
Sword cultivators in the Tribulation Period...
Lu Bei narrowed his eyes slightly. Finally, the Tianjian Sect took action against him, a young and innocent newcomer.
"He is one of the two sword cultivators in the Tribulation Crossing Stage on Tianjian Peak. His surname is Qin and his given name is Fangtian. According to seniority, I need to call him Uncle Master."
Lian Lin looked solemn, and slowly said to Lu Bei: "At the same time, he is also Zhan Lexian's master."
At the side, Zhan Hongqu was stunned. It was the first time she heard that her father's master was still alive.
