Just after Yun Yan and their three palaces had reached an agreement, Long Xiaotian and Lu Ming appeared in front of the main palace gate.
I saw that he was tall and tall, with a majestic appearance, and his eyes under the two sword-shaped eyebrows revealed an indescribable gloominess.
In comparison, Lu Ming seemed much kinder, because when he saw Yun Yan in the crowd, there was a happy smile on his face, as if he was seeing an old friend he hadn't seen for many years.
This made Yun Yan a little unexpected. Although he didn't know Lu Ming's intention yet, it seemed that he didn't have any dissatisfaction because he killed Lu Tianjiao. This proved that the legend about their brother and sister's antagonism should be true.
At the same time, Yun Yan noticed that among the crowd, there was another pair of eyes staring at him fiercely, and he was Zhou Cang, the owner of the Beishan Mine.
Yun Yan turned a blind eye to Zhou Cang's resentful eyes, and he didn't want to have anything to do with Zhou Cang anymore. After all, that was the memory he least wanted to face.
But in Zhou Cang's eyes, Yun Yan was the one who ruined everything for him, and he wanted to cut Yun Yan into pieces to satisfy his hatred.
But his hatred no longer mattered to Yun Yan, because the gap between them was getting wider and wider, so big that even Zhou Cang felt a little desperate.
In just four years, Yun Yan went from being a dazed and ignorant young man to becoming a popular figure in the Third Heaven. All of this surprised Zhou Cang, but was also within his expectations.
In fact, Zhou Cang had originally thought about getting rid of Yun Yan, but out of his trust in Jackal and a little pride, they both made fatal mistakes in the end.
Now he not only lost his biological sister, but he also couldn't save the Jackal. Zhou Cang blamed Yun Yan for all this.
Therefore, he hated Yunyan so much that he hated her to death.
It's just that even if these Yun Yan can guess, they won't be familiar with him, not now and not in the future, because after all, he is Zhou Ying's biological brother.
When Yun Yan saw Zhou Cang, he could not help but think of the figure who had accompanied him. Therefore, he withdrew his cold gaze and no longer cared about Zhou Cang's thoughts.
At this time, Long Xiaotian, who was standing in front of the main palace gate, said to everyone.
"In accordance with Tianque's will, I came to preside over the succession ceremony of the new palace owner of Lihu Palace. Although it was a bit condescending, I thought that the Nine Provinces Alliance has always been loyal to Tianque's headquarters, so I did not refuse this matter.
However, Lihu Palace's talents are now withered and its luck is bad. It may take less than ten years to restore it to its original state.
It’s a rare trip for me to come to the Kyushu Alliance. I just want to communicate with a few leaders more and don’t want to waste too much time on unimportant things.
Therefore, I suggest that you skip those unnecessary procedures and just select the new palace master from those who are qualified to take over the Lihu Palace. I don’t know what you think. "
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, because everyone had already heard that Long Xiaotian was always domineering, but they didn't expect that he could even speak so outrageously.
What is "according to" Tianque's will? Shouldn't it be followed? There are also words of "condescension" and "wasting of time". This is completely disrespectful to anyone present.
As the master of the Weapon Refining Sect, Long Xiaotian has actually controlled Tianque for many years. How could he be so unscrupulous in front of so many people?
Obviously, not only did he not take everyone seriously, but he also wanted to rely on his strength and status to act arbitrarily in the affairs of Lihu Palace.
Seeing this scene, Lu Ming was the first to answer.
"Although Elder Long's proposal is good, it is against the rules. We can simplify the process, but the selection of the palace master of Lihu Palace must be approved by everyone. Otherwise, I am afraid it will be difficult for the leaders of each palace to willingly return what has been divided. .
Of course, if Elder Long has a way to explain to your Majesty, we have no objection. However, when the headquarters comes to hold him accountable, we can only tell the truth. This may cause unnecessary misunderstandings. We hope Elder Long will think twice. "
"That's right, our purpose this time is to elect the new palace master of Lihu Palace. We are not here to participate in the succession ceremony. How can we omit the most important link."
The speaker was Bai Hanjian from Kun White House. His cultivation had already broken through the fifth level of martial arts, so he was not inferior to Long Xiaotian in terms of momentum.
Qing Pheasant also agreed upon seeing this.
"The alliance has its own rules. Although we appreciate Elder Long's courage to introduce new things, you have not mentioned this matter before, but now you are doing it, it is a bit too hasty.
At the same time, many of the people present came from various forces under the rule of Tianque, and it would not be fair to them if we suddenly changed the rules. "
Lu Ming was deeply relieved to hear the answers from Bai Hanjian and Qing Pheasant. It seemed that the water in the Kyushu Alliance was indeed very deep, but Long Xiaotian smiled dismissively.
"Since the three of you are against my suggestion, just pretend that I didn't say it. However, the first round of selection for combat strength may become a bit bloody, so you should be mentally prepared, haha... "
Long Xiaotian made no secret of his contempt for everyone and the tragedy that might happen next, which made everyone feel a little disgusted with him.
But Long Xiaotian doesn't care about this at all, just like Yun Yan does to Zhou Cang, because they have one thing in common, that is, they are strong enough.
It's just that Yun Yan can't be as arrogant as Long Xiaotian, and he doesn't want to put Zhou Cang to death, but Long Xiaotian is different. He wants those who are disobedient to pay the price.
Lu Ming was unmoved when he saw this. He was just ordered to prevent Long Xiaotian from further expanding his power in the Kyushu Alliance. He didn't care how many people had to be sacrificed for this.
Therefore, Lu Ming announced to everyone.
"Everyone has come from afar to compete for the throne of Lihu Palace, so I will give everyone a chance. As for whether you can succeed, it all depends on your ability. Now, those who are confident, please step forward. Tell me your name."
After hearing this, Long Xiaotian slowly sat down and turned his cold eyes to Ye Erniang beside him.
Seeing this situation, Yun Yan knew that Ye Erniang might have no choice. In order to avoid complications, Yun Yan planned to directly challenge Jiugong Suo.
But before he could get out of the queue, someone rushed to Lu Ming in front of him. The man said respectfully to Lu Ming.
"I have met Elder Lu. This junior is Tian Lifeng from Beishan Mine. He is currently the leader of the first mining area. I want to manage Lihu Palace for Tianque Headquarters, and I would like to ask Elder Lu to nominate him."
It turned out that Tian Lifeng was from Zhou Cang, Lu Ming couldn't help but laugh.
"Master Zhou is willing to let you leave, so why can't I help you?"
Immediately, Lu Ming was seen speaking to everyone.
"I nominate Tian Lifeng as the first contender for the palace master of Lihu Palace. If anyone is dissatisfied, please report your name."
At this moment, Long Xiaotian, who was sitting aside, said coldly.
"Recently, I met an old friend. She was Ye Erniang, the disciple of Hu Liangzong, the former lord of Lihu Palace. She was ordered to go to the lower world for training and has just returned. Therefore, I nominate her as the disciple of Lihu Palace. One of the competitors.
However, since we are fighting for selection, everyone knows that any damage will be inevitable later. If you have concerns, it is still too late to withdraw now. "
When Long Xiaotian finished speaking, Ye Erniang's figure had appeared in front of the stage, and everyone knew that Ye Erniang was the mysterious person that Long Xiaotian valued.
Moreover, she is also a disciple of Hu Liangzong, so it seems logical that Ye Erniang competes for the master of Lihu Palace.
Lu Ming had known about Ye Erniang for a long time, but what he didn't expect was that Ye Erniang had broken through to the first level of cultivation in just a few months. It seemed that Long Xiaotian had helped her a lot.
Yun Yan then came to Lu Ming and spoke to him respectfully.
"Senior Lu, you are fine. I have lived up to my trust and helped the headquarters to deal with those people."
Lu Ming asked with a smile upon hearing this.
"Then in what capacity do you want to compete now?"
Yunyan thought for a while and replied.
"Just as the alchemist of Auction City."
"Yes, but if you win, I'm afraid you won't be able to serve as the leader of the auction city anymore.
This is the rule of Tianque. "
"no problem."
"Okay then, I nominate Yun Yan as the third contender for the title of Lord of Lihu Palace. Is there anyone else? If so, please feel free to come forward."
At this moment, Ye Erniang suddenly said.
"Wait a minute."
Lu Ming looked at her in confusion and asked.
"What's wrong?"
Ye Erniang then replied coldly.
"Why don't you continue to nominate after Tian Lifeng and I decide the winner."
"Why?"
"Because there probably won't be many people who dare to stand up at that time, so this saves Elder Lu from having to worry about them."
Seeing that Ye Erniang was so confident, Lu Ming nodded and said.
"Haha, then let me see your strength."
After speaking, Lu Ming motioned to Yun Yan to stand aside and wait, while Ye Erniang and Tian Lifeng came to the center of the front desk. Although this place cannot be said to be spacious, it is still more than ten feet in radius. For strong people like them, It is enough to tell the winner.
But before they could take action, Yun Yan was already shaking her head and sighing. Seeing this, Lu Ming couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Do you think she will die in peace?"
"No."
"Oh? Then you think she will win?"
Yun Yan nodded slightly at this time, but his expression was still solemn.
"She hasn't killed anyone in a long time, and she doesn't want to kill anyone again, but now she has to kill again, and I just feel sorry for her."
"Do you know each other?"
"Well, she's my friend."
Yun Yan did not hide this secret because he knew that Lu Ming and Long Xiaotian would guess it sooner or later. Instead of letting Ye Erniang bear the infamy, it would be better for him to bear all this for Ye Erniang.
After Long Xiaotian heard this, he didn't take it seriously and just heard him snort coldly.
"A strong person doesn't need friends. I believe she will make the right choice."
Yun Yan did not refute Long Xiaotian's statement, he just silently looked at Ye Erniang and Tian Lifeng in the field.
Tian Lifeng said with a smile.
"Since the girl is someone that Elder Long values, she must be very powerful. Although I respect the seniors at the headquarters, I will not show mercy when it comes to taking action.
Therefore, if the girl finds it difficult to handle later, you might as well tell me, so that I can stop in time and prevent the girl from getting hurt. "
Ye Erniang replied calmly after hearing this.
"Thank you for your kindness, but this is also the last time you flirt with a woman, because I want to use you to set an example for those who still have any illusions here. As long as anyone dares to stand up, his end will be as miserable as yours. .”
"How presumptuous! You have just broken through to the fourth level of martial arts and you are so arrogant. I want to see why you dare to speak so brazenly."
The moment Tian Lifeng finished speaking, he had already pounced on Ye Erniang opposite.
Facing Tian Lifeng, who was much larger than herself, Ye Erniang turned into a soft "ribbon" almost at the same time. This ribbon floated towards the oncoming Tian Lifeng as if blown by the wind.
Then, the ribbon quickly climbed up Tian Lifeng's thick arm. In less than a moment, Tian Lifeng fell into the soft ocean and could no longer break free.
When he found that his body was covered with ribbons, Tian Lifeng suddenly shouted loudly.
"Get out of my way!"
But no matter how strong his soul power was, he couldn't break the ribbons wrapped around him, and he began to feel a little irritable.
"S***, I've had enough of this kind of thing like you, it seems it's time for you to suffer some pain."
Tian Lifeng, who was tied up with colorful ribbons, raised his thick iron fist high and then slammed it down towards the ground.
It is conceivable that when his fist hits the extremely hard marble floor, no matter how tough the ribbon is, it will be destroyed by him.
It was smashed to pieces.
However, the result was not like this, because after Tian Lifeng's iron fist fell, what everyone heard was not the sound of the ribbon being torn, nor was it the sound of the floor being smashed, but his entire arm suddenly twisted into a To an incredible extent.
"Crack!"
As a crisp sound of bones shattering came, Tian Lifeng's face became extremely painful. If he were not a strong man at the fourth level of martial arts, he would never be able to bear such pain.
Big drops of sweat were flowing from his forehead to the tip of his nose. Tian Lifeng never expected that he would be seriously injured in just one round. This was the price he paid for underestimating the enemy.
However, the joints of one arm were inexplicably shattered, which obviously could not bring the fight to an end, because for a strong man in the martial arts realm, such damage was not fatal enough.
Therefore, Tian Lifeng still has a chance to turn defeat into victory, but he may not know that the person who is more miserable than him is Ye Erniang. This does not mean that Ye Erniang will lose, but that she has a sure chance of victory, but she has to obey the dragon's will. Xiaotian's will made Tian Lifeng's death even worse.
Because only in this way will what he just said be firmly remembered by everyone, and his intention to intimidate everyone will be deeply rooted in people's hearts.
Ye Erniang has changed a lot since she met Yun Yan three years ago. Sometimes, she even deliberately imitates Yun Yan and imitates him as a person who is unwilling to kill people.
However, reality is not always what she wishes. For example, if she can't let Tian Lifeng die miserably, more people will die, not to mention she has to do it in front of Yun Yan.
Therefore, Ye Erniang gradually tightened the ribbon, and what followed was a series of "clicking" sounds. Tian Lifeng finally let out his last scream before dying...
