There are already hundreds of people in the Lihu Palace Square, and there are many strong ones among them. It seems that this skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Even today's Lihu Palace still has a lot of attraction for them.
There are ten chairs around the entire square. Except for the two in front of the main palace gate which are relatively close together, the other eight are evenly distributed diagonally.
Behind seven of the chairs hung a Ban flag with the unique logo of each palace printed on it. Only the flag representing Lihu Palace had nothing on it.
Because according to the rules of the Kyushu Alliance, the names of each palace are derived from the combination of the palace position and the inscription of the palace owner. Generally, everyone will default to the surname of the leader of each palace.
Therefore, when the seven leaders arrived, Yun Yan quickly recognized Qing Pheasant, Yue Wushuang and Yu Ruyi. In order to avoid suspicion, Yun Yan had to greet the three of them at the same time through soul power transmission.
Since the master of Qianqing Palace, Qing Pheasant, had the highest level of cultivation, he couldn't help but be a little surprised when he sensed the soul power transmission from Yun Yan.
"It turns out that your Excellency is the young hero who has become famous recently. I'm sorry for my blindness, but I didn't see you right away."
"You're welcome, Chief Qing Pheasant. I've just arrived here, so I would like to thank you all in advance."
Yue Wushuang was surprised that Yun Yan was able to conduct soul power transmission with the three of them at the same time, because this meant that Yun Yan's cultivation level was at least equal to that of the three of them.
Yue Wushuang frowned and said in disbelief.
"Young Master Yun can actually equal the soul power of the three of us. That means your cultivation level has at least surpassed the fourth level of martial arts. It seems that Su Xuan is right. You are indeed strong enough to compete for Lihu Palace."
"Haha, the person who can be valued by Su Xuan is not an ordinary person. If I guess correctly, Mr. Yun's cultivation has probably broken through the fifth level of martial arts."
The person who spoke was none other than Yu Ruyi. Although she had the lowest cultivation level among the three, only at the peak of the third level of martial arts, her perception ability surprised Yun Yan.
"Leader Yu is laughing, but I have indeed broken through the fifth level of martial arts. Therefore, if today's selection of the palace master of Lihu Palace is judged based on strength, you should not need to worry."
Hearing this, Yu Ruyi couldn't help but smile.
"It seems that you are quite confident. But if it were that simple, Su Xuan wouldn't have to say hello to us in advance."
"Yes, in addition to strength, the candidate for the palace master of Lihu Palace must also be nominated by at least one of the two principals, and then our remaining seven palaces will make the choice. As long as you can get more than the recognition of the leaders of the fourth palace, Then the position of the Lord of Lihu Palace will be yours."
Yue Wushuang explained the rules clearly, but Qing Pheasant just added one sentence.
"Of course, if you can be nominated by two principals at the same time, things will become easier."
"Was it the same when Jackal replaced Hu Bao?"
"That's not true, because Long Xiaotian had the final say at the time, and no one asked about the cause of Hu Bao's death. But now that Bai Xingye is back, things must be handled according to the rules."
Yun Yan thought about it and replied.
"I have met Elder Lu Ming once, and I believe he will not forget what I have done for him, so I have a way to get Elder Lu Ming's nomination."
Yue Wushuang laughed immediately upon hearing this.
"If this is the case, then there will be almost no suspense for you to enter the Lihu Palace."
But Qing Pheasant didn't think so, and just listened to what he continued.
"Besides that, you must get the support of the first palace. In my opinion, you can try Kun White Palace or Xunhe Palace, because they are not from Long Xiaotian."
"Qing Pheasant is right. Bai Hanjian has always been interested in Xiao Yu, but Xiao Yu didn't treat him as a green onion. I think if Xiao Yu is willing to help you talk to Bai Hanjian, you don't need to take action anymore."
Upon hearing this, Yu Ruyi turned her gaze to Yue Wushuang beside her and said coldly.
"Are you saying you want me to sell my lust?"
The chill in Yu Ruyi's voice immediately made Yue Wushuang put away his playful smile, and he quickly shook his head and explained.
"Xiao Yu, you misunderstood. I meant that guy Bai Hanjian is obedient to your words, and Mr. Yun will also be one of ours from now on. Why don't you just do it conveniently and show some sincerity to Mr. Yun."
"In that case, why don't you go."
"Uh... Bai Hanjian doesn't seem to like men very much."
Yue Wushuang smiled helplessly, Qingzhi interrupted their argument and said.
"Well, the reason why I propose to win their support is because the two palaces have not made it clear who they want to support. If Ruyi makes such a sacrifice in order to win the Kun White House, it will only leave Kunpeng and Tianhai alone. The heart looks down upon us even more.
So, what I mean is that Mr. Yun might as well exchange interests with them. As far as I know, He Qianluo has failed many times in the past thirty years to break through to the fifth level of martial arts. This is her biggest weakness.
As for Bai Hanjian, apart from his admiration for Ruyi, he is only interested in swordsmanship. Mr. Yun seems to have some friendship with the Sword Controlling Sect. If you can help Bai Hanjian get to know people from the Sword Controlling Sect, I think he will definitely support you. "
After listening to the analysis of the three people, Yun Yan thought for a moment and then answered.
"If that's the case, then I have a way to get He Qianluo's support. As for the Baihan Sword, I can't guarantee it, but I can give it a try."
Yue Wushuang smiled immediately after hearing this.
"As long as you can get the support of any one of them, it's enough. There's no need for one more person."
However, Yun Yan suddenly asked at this time.
"As far as I know, if you want to open the lock of the Nine Palaces, you must get the consent of the six palace masters at the same time, right?"
"Open the Nine Palace Lock, what do you want to do?"
Qing Pheasant's expression instantly became extremely serious, because Jiugong Lock was the highest authority in the alliance, and most people would not know this secret.
Yue Wushuang also followed suit.
"Yes, opening the Nine Palace Lock means that something big will happen in the alliance, but why do you do this?"
Facing Qing Pheasant and Yue Wushuang's questions, Yun Yan answered seriously.
"I want to enter the Zhongqi Palace!"
"ah!"
The three people who heard this were shocked, and Yu Ruyi asked first.
"Didn't Su Xuan want you to take over Lihu Palace?"
"Yes, this was indeed our previous plan, but I have changed my mind now."
"Can you tell me why?"
"Because Lihu Palace already has an owner."
Yue Wushuang asked confusedly after hearing this.
"What do you mean by this, Master? And why did you choose Zhongqi Palace? You don't know that it is just an abandoned palace!"
Qing Pheasant had the same idea and just listened to what he said.
"In addition, Zhongqi Palace has not seen the light of day all year round. The power of heaven and earth there is very thin and is not suitable for cultivation. Even if you live in it normally, it will be difficult to persist. Why on earth would you do this, Master?"
Just listen to Yun Yan's frank reply.
"There is someone more suitable than me to take charge of Lihu Palace. She is Ye Erniang who Long Xiaotian will nominate. I believe you all know that she is Jackal's junior sister, so it is logical for her to take over Lihu Palace. .
What I want to say is that she and I know each other and have a good relationship. I believe that she will gradually get rid of Long Xiaotian's control and join our camp in the future.
As for entering Zhongqi Palace, I can only tell you now that there may be something I want in Zhongqi Palace. "
Hearing this, Qingzhi couldn't help but ask.
"Is it Qi Shi?"
Yun Yan nodded slowly and replied.
"Yes, in addition to that, I also want to solve a nightmare from a long time ago."
"What kind of nightmare?"
"A nightmare about the layout of the Nine Palaces. I can't explain the details. Maybe I can only be sure after I enter the Zhongqi Palace."
Yun Yan has revealed all his intentions, because only in this way can he
Gain the trust of Qing Pheasant, Yue Wushuang and Yu Ruyi.
Sure enough, Yu Ruyi spoke first.
"If you can guarantee that Ye Erniang will eventually join us, then I have no objection to this matter."
"I can guarantee this, because Long Xiaotian cannot compromise with us, so Ye Erniang must choose between us and Long Xiaotian.
I have talked with her just now, and I am absolutely sure about this matter. Long Xiaotian is using her to fight against Bai Xingye.
Therefore, we only need to sit back and watch the tigers fight, and come out to clean up the mess when necessary. "
Yue Wushuang asked with some confusion after hearing this.
"Is this what Su Xuan told you?"
"Part of it is, and the other part is my guess."
"Haha, I hope your guess is not wrong, but as long as the result is beneficial to us, you can do whatever you want. I agree with Xiao Yu's decision."
Qing Pheasant said after careful weighing.
"Be prepared for the worst in everything. Since you want us to take such a risk with you, you should at least tell us. What if you guess wrong?"
Yun Yan nodded and replied.
"You are right, this matter does have risks, but the worst-case scenario after Ye Erniang takes over the Lihu Palace is to remain neutral. If she betrays us and joins Long Xiaotian, then she will be our enemy. I will personally take action when the time comes, you can rest assured on this.
As for the fight between Bai Xingye and Long Xiaotian, of course we have to choose the more stable side. Judging from the current situation, although Bai Xingye has returned not long ago, he is justified after all.
And no matter who among them wins, we will become his next target, so if we are exposed too quickly, it will arouse their vigilance. If they join forces by then, it will only be detrimental to us. "
Hearing this, Qing Pheasant couldn't help but look at Yun Yan with admiration and heard him sigh.
"It seems that Su Xuan did not misjudge you. With your help, she will be even more powerful."
Yu Ruyi smiled and said after hearing this.
"If Su Xuan knew that someone was calling her a tigress behind her back, that person would be in terrible trouble."
"Ruyi, you know that's not what I meant."
Qing Pheasant suddenly blushed, as if someone had revealed his thoughts, and Yue Wushuang on the side was even more upset.
"We are all men, what's there to be embarrassed about, right Mr. Yun?"
"Well... everyone loves beauty, but Manager Su respects everyone, so..."
"I understand, I understand, we are just envious of Mr. Yun, haha..."
Yu Ru sighed angrily upon seeing the statement.
"Men, they are all the same after all."
Qing Zhi heard this and quickly covered it up.
"Master Yun, let's do everything as you say."
Yun Yan immediately bowed and thanked the three of them.
"Then I'll help you all."
"You're welcome."
