In a certain room in the Sanwang Palace, Xiao Xiong was discussing strategies with Bubai and the other two sects in order to deal with the two major sects, Jiange and Daofu, which were about to make a move.
The two of them didn't sleep a wink all night because of this, and had been discussing the next plan. After all, the sword was not in their hands, so panic was inevitable.
Xiaoxiong clasped his hands behind his back and said seriously: "Today's situation is getting more and more serious. We didn't get the Divine Sword. This is a hidden danger after all."
Bubai looked worried and said: "Who says otherwise? Originally we were the active party, but since the appearance of the Divine Sword, we have become very passive."
Xiaoxiong walked back and forth and said with great concern: "No one knows when Shui Jueyin and Jiang Qi will seize the sword. If you are not careful, the divine sword will definitely fall into the hands of these two people."
"By then, they will have the courage to launch a war. The power of the divine sword is amazing, and it may be difficult for us to resist it."
"Even if we can repel them, in the end, both sides will suffer. If this is the case, the Ghost Sect and the Spirit Clan will definitely seize the opportunity to recruit disciples, thereby limiting the development of our Sanwang Palace."
Bubai whispered: "How about I go and watch near the Fighting God Tower?"
Xiaoxiong said confidently: "They don't dare to take action during the day. Besides, Fei Yingming and Lingying will also be wary of them. It's better to go at night."
Upon hearing this, Bubai immediately said, "In that case, I'll go back and rest first."
Before he left the house, Xiao Xiong suddenly reminded him: "When you go back, you must tell Bu Shi and ask him to stop hanging out. Liangcheng has not been peaceful these days."
Bubai also understood the importance of the matter, and immediately nodded and said: "Okay, I will tell him, don't worry."
After saying that, he opened the door and left, leaving Xiaoxiong alone lying on the seat with a sad face.

Western Continent
On a tree-shaded mountain path somewhere, two figures slowly walked out. Listening carefully to the sound of the two chatting, they seemed to be a man and a woman.
"I didn't expect that even you were sent out. It seems that things are not simple this time." The man who spoke was none other than Qiu Leng, who had disappeared for a long time after the fierce battle with Zifu.
"Some people are too ambitious and will not be honest unless they are suppressed." The woman walking beside him had slender legs and a tall figure. Her face was covered by a black mask, and her cold eyes gave people a feeling of being repulsive. She was wearing a tight-fitting night gown, outlining her perfect and voluptuous curves. Her voice, like her eyes, was particularly cold.
Qiu Leng sighed softly, looked straight ahead and said, "What a pity, Qian Qian is still in the Northern Continent, and I can't help you anymore."
"Qianqian?" The woman frowned slightly. She seemed to have heard this name somewhere, but it was a long time ago, and she still had some impression of it. She thought about it carefully and asked: "The Qianqian you mentioned , could it be your sister?"
Qiu Leng didn't hide it from her and answered directly: "That's right! She is my long-lost sister. This time I go to the Northern Continent again, I must bring her back."
When she heard about the Northern Continent, the woman was deeply disgusted and said: "The people in the Northern Continent are not good people. The injury you suffered when you came back last time was also a gift from them, right?"
Qiu Leng immediately explained: "You can't blame them. I took the initiative to ask for a discussion."
The woman was very curious and asked softly: "There is still someone in the northern continent who can hurt you. Who is this person?"
He was silent for a moment and said in a deep voice: "The eldest disciple of the old Sword God is known as the Sword Emperor's Zifu."
When the woman heard this, she didn't pay too much attention to it and said casually: "This is the first time I've seen you in such a mess. It turns out you were injured by the disciple of the old sword god. It's not surprising."
She might be shocked if an unknown soldier injured Qiu Leng, but it didn't surprise her that his opponent was the senior disciple of the old sword god.
After all, the old sword god had superb swordsmanship and a reputation far and wide, and those who could be accepted as his disciples must not be ordinary people.
"I would like to advise you, don't think too much of the people in the Northern Continent, and don't stay there for a long time." After the woman finished speaking, she found another quiet path and left.
Qiu Leng wanted to say something else, but when he thought of the woman's deep-rooted prejudice against the Northern Continent, he did not explain it to her.
Because he had known the woman for so many years and understood that she had always had prejudices against people in the Northern Continent. In her heart, everyone in the Northern Continent was bad.
Qiu Leng shook his head and laughed at himself: "Alas! If I don't go to the Northern Continent myself and take a look at the local practitioners, I'm afraid I have the same thoughts as her."

Doushen Tower
Xiao Hai was lying on the window sill alone, looking listlessly at the monks walking on the street, and yawned as he looked at them.
In the room, Xuan Yi sat slanted on a chair, with his right arm on the table and his right palm supporting the side of his face. He said feebly: "It's been more than ten days, why hasn't Ziyang come out?"
Pei Yuan, who was lying on the chair with his eyes closed, heard what he said and immediately said with a smile: "This is only the tenth day. Didn't Hua Yao tell you that it will take about half a month? Just wait patiently."
He looked at Xuan Yi who was quite bored, pointed at the dim sky outside the window, and said slightly dissatisfied: "Did you see? It's getting dark today, and Jia Juesheng hasn't come back yet. He is getting more and more outrageous. .”
In order to divert Xuan Yi's attention, Pei Yuan could only use Jia Juesheng to speak, so that he could focus on Jia Juesheng.
After hearing what he said, Xuan Yi blinked and thought for a moment, then immediately said: "No. He has been coming back later and later these days. If this continues, I don't think he will come back."
Pei Yuan pointed to the door and sighed: "Oh! Didn't you see? No one can care about Ziyang if he's not here. He even came back to eat a few days ago, but now it's better. He doesn't even eat with us. .”
Xiao Hai turned to look at the two of them, frowned and asked, "Is the formation so attractive?"
When Pei Yuan heard this, he immediately snorted coldly, crossed his arms and said, "Let me tell you, it's not the formation that attracts people, but the people."
"People are attractive?" Xuan Yi stared at him for a moment, wondering: "What do you mean?"
"Don't you understand? The reason why Jia Juesheng goes out so diligently every day..." Pei Yuan said carefully.
Outside the door, Jia Juesheng came over humming a little tune with a cheerful face. He pushed open the door and closed the door to himself. Without even looking at them, he sat down by the bed and took off his shoes.
The silence in the room made him feel something was wrong. He stopped what he was doing and slowly looked up at Pei Yuan and the others.
After feeling their gazes, Jia Juesheng first looked down at his clothes and found that there was nothing special about him. Then he paused with confusion and said, "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me?"
Xuan Yi withdrew his eyes, crossed his legs and said, "You still know how to come back?"
Hearing Xuan Yi's unkind tone, which seemed to be blaming, Jia Juesheng was silent for a moment and said with a smile: "I didn't cause trouble outside either."
Seeing that he had misunderstood, Pei Yuan said directly: "It's not that you caused trouble outside, but that you ran outside early in the morning every day and didn't come back until dark. You... Why did you go there? ?”
Jia Juesheng nodded and replied, "Didn't you do anything? They asked me to share their experience in formations, so they came back late."
He was still a little unhappy when he saw a few people, so he put on his shoes, sat down at the table, and said, "Has it been a little too peaceful these days? I always feel like something is wrong."
Xuan Yi hesitated for a while and said: "This kind of thing is not something we should consider. Several sect leaders in Liangcheng are fighting each other and are wary of each other. This is a good thing."
Pei Yuan's eyes were half-squinted, he held his chin with his right hand, and said solemnly: "The current situation is good, but I'm afraid that some of them will jump over the wall in a hurry."
Xiao Guan went to the window, glanced at a few people, and said, "How about... I go call Brother Ziyang?"
After hearing the name Ziyang, Jia Juesheng frowned and said, "Huh? Ziyang hasn't come back yet? It's been more than ten days, right?"
Seeing that several people were silent, he said again: "It's useless to stay in a place like Liangcheng. Why don't we call Ziyang and Huayao and let's leave this place of right and wrong quickly?"
Xuan Yi did not express an opinion. He glanced at Pei Yuan intentionally or unintentionally, wanting to hear what he thought.
Pei Yuan glanced at a few people and said, "Let's wait a little longer. We have been waiting for the past ten days, and there is no shortage of four or five days left."
Jia Juesheng said with a smile: "It's okay to wait. I don't care. I'm just afraid that you don't want to wait."
Pei Yuan glanced at him and said, "Huh! Of course you are willing to wait. You can exchange your experience on formations tomorrow."
Jia Juesheng said with a smile: "It's okay if I don't go. You have to give the girl a reasonable reason. It's too rude to refuse her for no reason."
"It's just that Ziyang wants to practice. I have nothing to do. There happens to be an array master here. I want to share my experience with her about the array. This is all because I'm waiting for Ziyang."
Pei Yuan was very displeased and said: "Don't use Zi Yang as a shield. You are not going to exchange your experience on formations. I think you are just going to fall in love."
Xuan Yi looked at Jia Juesheng in pretense of surprise and said, "So you are here to fall in love."
Being exposed to someone's face, Jia Juesheng naturally would not admit it. He said with an aggrieved face: "What kind of love are you talking about? I just went to simply exchange my experience on formations with others. It's not what you think."
He looked at Pei Yuan and said, "Pei Yuan, you can't wrongly accuse a good person without any evidence."
Pei Yuan saw him slap him down, and immediately said: "I have wronged a good person? No, how have I wronged a good person? Your actions have proven everything, is it still necessary to accuse him unjustly?"
Jia Juesheng smiled proudly and said calmly: "Catch the traitor and the double, the thief and the dirty. You haven't caught me and I'm just making random guesses here. If you didn't accuse me wrongly, what are you doing?"
Pei Yuan stood up suddenly and said, "I..."
Just as he was about to speak, Xuan Yi immediately stopped him and said, "Pei Yuan, I think what Jia Juesheng just said makes sense. Let's not talk about him."
Xiaohai covered his mouth and yawned, looking sleepy.
"Forget it, forget it, stop talking and go to sleep." After Pei Yuan finished speaking, he hurried to the bed.
"Sleep!" Jia Juesheng shouted extremely happily.
