Everyone thought that without the sword cultivators in the Sword Cleansing Pool and the protection of the Sword Master, it would be easy for them to kill Li Xiuping. But now it seems that they were obviously wrong.
Based on their previous understanding, they thought they knew Li Xiuping well enough, but now it seems that there are far more secrets about Li Xiuping than they imagined.
A strong man from the Star Observation Tower first looked like he was surviving a disaster, then narrowed his eyes and asked, "What should we do now?"
A strong man from the Star Observation Tower replied: "Now it seems that the guys in Taiyi Pavilion must know more than us. Otherwise, with their methods, they would never let us find Li Xiuping first. It is obvious that they want to treat us as piece."
Another strong man from the Star Observation Tower asked: "Is this the case?"
Everyone was lost in thought.
At this time, several figures in the distance slowly approached, it was the "late arrival" of the powerful Taiyi Pavilion.
Seeing these powerful people in Taiyi Pavilion, all the powerful people in Star Observation Tower frowned.
An old Taoist from Taiyi Pavilion was the first to ask: "Where is Li Xiuping?"
A strong man in the Star Observation Tower said in a deep voice: "Shouldn't you all know better than us?"
The old Taoist from Taiyi Pavilion continued: "We really didn't expect that Li Xiuping would actually hide this trick. We only thought that he only had the jade talisman obtained from the demon clan, so we gave him a chance to escape, just to let him He saw hope again and again, and then faced the final despair, but never thought..."
"Hmph!" Everyone in the Star View Tower snorted coldly.
They are really in a bad mood now, because just now, they almost died at the hands of Li Xiuping.
They were all strong in the God Transformation stage, but seven or eight of them were in the God Transformation stage, but they almost died at the hands of a young man in the Foundation Establishment stage. This kind of thing would not feel good to anyone.
A strong man from Taiyi Pavilion said: "We still want to think about how to intercept Li Xiuping. If he meets the guys in Xijianchi, judging from the background he has shown before, we have to think about it. Get rid of him, I'm afraid..."
Although the words were not finished, the meaning was already obvious.
Everyone in the Star View Tower frowned. With this incident, they could not help but be wary of the old Taoist priests in Taiyi Pavilion. This so-called alliance was not that solid after all. If they were not careful, they would be afraid of it next time. They will also be used as pawns by the opponent, but not every time they can survive like this time.
Judging from the words of the Taiyi Pavilion guys, they had witnessed the previous battle with their own eyes, and the reason why Li Xiuping chose to escape in the end instead of directly injuring them was obviously because he felt the presence of the Taiyi Pavilion guys.
This can prove something. Although Li Xiuping did not know what secret method he used to forcibly increase his strength, that state could not last for long, and he could not fight against so many powerful people in Taiyi Pavilion and Star Observation Tower at the same time. Otherwise, he would never be so powerful. Decisively abandon the last means of escape and choose to leave directly.
The reason why Taiyi Pavilion suddenly appeared and did not hide their previous onlookers in their words shows that Taiyi Pavilion does not want to face Li Xiuping alone, or that Taiyi Pavilion is not absolutely sure that it can deal with Li Xiuping on its own. After all, no matter what Whether it was the strength displayed by Li Xiuping or the attitude of the Sword Washing Pool, it was enough to prove that it was not easy for any one company to get rid of Li Xiuping.
In fact, even before, they were aware of this, so they chose to form an alliance.
This means that Taiyi Pavilion needs the Star Observation Tower and does not want the Star Observation Tower to be damaged, because now that the Star Observation Tower is damaged, it means that Taiyi Pavilion is damaged.
Of course, these are all the ideas of the Star Observation Tower, while the ideas of Taiyi Pavilion are relatively complicated. After all, they know more about Li Xiuping.
The reason for not killing Li Xiuping before was naturally not because of the so-called complete despair of Li Xiuping, but because of orders from Kunlun Mountain.
Being able to have Kunlun Mountain come forward to remind them means that the involvement in Li Xiuping is far beyond their imagination. Once Li Xiuping really dies in the hands of Taiyi Pavilion, it will have a huge impact on the entire Taiyi Pavilion, and there may even be unexpected consequences. Terrifying consequences, consequences that Taiyi Pavilion cannot bear.
However, although Kunlun Mountain reminded Taiyi Pavilion, it did not say that Li Xiuping could not die. Therefore, if Li Xiuping could be allowed to die in the hands of others, Taiyi Pavilion would not have to bear the main responsibility. Even if he would be implicated afterwards, he would still be concerned. Take it easy, and with the help of Kunlun Mountain, there is no danger of being wiped out at the worst.
Therefore, their previous appearance was indeed to avoid losses to the Star Observation Tower, but the purpose was not what the Star Observation Tower imagined.
The stronger the Star Observation Tower is, the greater the possibility of killing Li Xiuping, and Taiyi Pavilion will have more opportunities to get rid of Li Xiuping's involvement.
A strong man from Taiyi Pavilion looked at the snowy field ahead and said: "Judging from Li Xiuping's route of action, it is obvious that he is heading east to Emperor Wu City to seek protection from Emperor Wu City. After all, he heard that Emperor Wu City and his master It has a big relationship, so if we want to kill him, we must do it before he arrives at Emperor Wu City."
A strong man from the Star Observation Tower said coldly: "This place is more than ten thousand miles away from Emperor Wu's City. In his current state, can he reach Emperor Wu's City?"
The strong man from Taiyi Pavilion said calmly: "Don't forget that there are those guys from Xi Jian Chi. When it comes to the speed of Yu Kong, if the speed of the sword cultivators from Xi Jian Chi is second, no one in the entire cultivation world dares to do so. Let’s put it first, and now that our two families have joined forces, apart from the four cities, there are only three mountains that can keep him.”
He continued: "The attitude of Piaoxue City is very clear. They will definitely not interfere. Not to mention Baidi City in the west, which he cannot reach. Even for us, it is difficult to pass through the entire demon clan, let alone the south. , the farthest away. As for the three mountains, they are either far away or impossible to help him, so there is only one Emperor Wu City left."
A strong man from the Star Observation Tower frowned and said: "But if he goes south, as long as he leaves Piaoxue Country, not only will he be supported by Xi Jian Chi, but also Guan Chao Academy if he continues south. Although Xi Jian Chi and Guan Chao Academy have become lonely in recent years. Young, but if the two families join forces, even if we two attack at the same time, we will still have to pay a high price, and whether it is the Sword Washing Pond or the Guanchao Academy, they will definitely help him with all their strength. Why would he go to Emperor Wu's City over the distance? ?”
The strong man from Taiyi Pavilion shook his head and said: "It is precisely because Sword Washing Pond and Guanchao Academy will fully help him that he chose to go east."
Everyone was stunned, not quite understanding the meaning of this sentence.
The strong man from Taiyi Pavilion continued: "Even if Guanchao Academy and Xijianchi join forces to fight against our two families, they will only lose in the end, and the price paid by Xijianchi and Guanchao Academy will be even greater. This kid is using himself to exchange for the safety of Sword Pool and Guanchao Academy."
Everyone nodded in understanding.
The strong man from Taiyi Pavilion continued: "Friendship is really... Guanchao Academy and Sword Washing Pond did not hesitate to block thousands of years of holy land inheritance for Li Xiuping. But in order to repay this kind of kindness, Li Xiuping He doesn't hesitate to put himself in danger. In fact, if he really wants to go south, we will really have no way to deal with him for a while. At that time, he will only need to find an opportunity to successfully forge the fairy sword. Let alone our two families joining forces, even if If we add another holy land, it will be very difficult to move him."
He looked at the people in Guanxing Tower and continued: "Since all fellow Taoists do not believe me in Taiyi Pavilion, then our two families will act independently. Whoever kills Li Xiuping first will own the treasures on his body, and the other party will not be allowed to do so." Any intervention, how about that?”
Everyone in the Star Observation Tower frowned.
Those immortal treasures on Li Xiuping are indeed very enviable. The key is that in addition to those immortal treasures, Li Xiuping also has a lot of powerful background that even they are afraid of. Whoever can capture Li Xiuping first will get Li Xiuping. Everything about Shuhei. And once he takes possession of all the immortal treasures and heritage of Li Xiuping, it will not be impossible to surpass the Seven Holy Lands, or even challenge the Three Mountains.
If that were the case, it would be able to make up for the losses caused by Li Xiuping at the Seven Holy Lands Conference. Otherwise, within a hundred years, once the Holy Land where they are located has no successors, they will inevitably be suppressed by other Holy Lands. By then, their status among the Seven Holy Lands will be reduced. It will inevitably plummet, and it is not impossible to even be replaced by other forces.
You must know that under the Seven Holy Lands, there are eight sages who are eyeing them, always wanting to reach a higher level and obtain one of the Holy Lands.
The reason for the sword washing pool is because there is a sword master. Although he is only in the integration stage, he has one sword and stands beside the sword washing pool. Naturally, no one dares to continue washing the sword pool.
Due to what happened three hundred years ago, Guanchao Academy has experienced the fastest decline in the past three hundred years. It is about to be replaced by someone else. However, Qi Wenxing appears and fights against the sword master of Xijianchi. This shocks the entire cultivation world and makes Many forces that are ready to move can only stay away. Now that Li Xiuping has joined, he has won the title of the Seven Holy Lands and obtained the ownership of the ancient battlefield ruins for the next three hundred years. From now on, all forces will no longer have any thoughts about Guanchao Academy. .
After giving up the Sword Washing Pond and Guanchao Academy, the major forces will inevitably shift their targets to other holy places. Butterfly Valley has the entire demon clan as its backer, and the demon clan has always been in the same spirit, and does not want humans to be so intrigued by each other. Their own calculations not only have Baidi City, one of the four cities, as a backer, but also Qingqiu Mountain, one of the three mountains. It is simply a dream for human forces to obtain the holy land of Butterfly Valley.
Excluding the above three, the remaining four are Xianglu Mountain, Piaoxue City, Taiyi Pavilion, and Star Observation Tower. Because Xianglu Mountain previously owned the ancient battlefield ruins for 300 years, it is now almost the strongest of the Seven Holy Lands, and it is also They are closely involved with Lingtai Mountain, one of the three mountains, so naturally no one will target them.
Piaoxue City is within this Piaoxue City, and Piaoxue City is one of the four cities. Among them is the city lord's mansion. Not to mention that Piaoxue City has not shown any signs of decline over the years, even if it has really declined to the extent of Guanchao Academy. To such an extent, I'm afraid very few people would have ideas for them.
As for Taiyi Pavilion, it is Taoist orthodoxy. It is in the same line as Kunlun Mountain and has constant exchanges. Moreover, because of the existence of the demon clan, Taiyi Pavilion has always had the largest reputation among the seven holy places, and its inheritance is also the highest among the seven holy places. A long-established one, plus Taiyi Pavilion’s Holy Land inheritance is only applicable to Taoist monks, and other forces will not take Taiyi Pavilion’s idea.
Calculated in this way, their Star Observation Tower is the most miserable. Not only does it have no backing, its inheritance is also messy, and it has always been in an embarrassing situation. Once the major forces change their targets, the most likely target is Star Observation Tower. building.
In fact, it is precisely because of this situation that the Star Observation Tower will deal with Li Xiuping so hard, because they do not want the Guanchao Academy to regain its status three hundred years ago, and they need a strong inheritance to maintain the Star Observation Tower. The inheritance, and those fairy treasures on Li Xiuping's body are the best existence, and they are also the foundation that can be used at any time. They are the only things that can change the embarrassing situation of the Star Observation Tower today.
Killing Li Xiuping will not only get the information about Li Xiuping, but also put Guanchao Academy into the same predicament again. So whether Guanchao Academy will become the target of major forces, at least Star Observation Tower will not be the target.
It's just that the involvement behind Li Xiuping is not small after all. It even involves the Jiuxian, one of the two rumored immortals. One mistake will put the entire Star Observation Tower into an irreversible situation, so even if the Star Observation Tower's next situation is It will become extremely embarrassing, but the entire Star Observation Tower is actually not determined to risk everything.
The reason why I have made this determination now, apart from Taiyi Pavilion fueling the fire behind the scenes and giving Taiyi Pavilion the illusion, is mainly because Li Xiuping killed the geniuses of Star Observation Tower in the ruins of the ancient battlefield, completely cutting off the future of Star Observation Tower. This forced them to take action against Li Xiuping at the risk of offending the wine master.
In fact, this is also the reason why Taiyi Pavilion chose to join forces with the Star Observation Tower. To be precise, it was the reason why the Star Observation Tower was chosen as a chess piece, because the Star Observation Tower now has no choice but to bet everything on the Star Observation Tower and get the benefits from Li Xiuping. To gain hope, there is no other possibility.
It has to be said that all this seems to be arranged. However, what Li Xiuping possesses is just enough to allow the Star Observation Tower to change the current situation. However, those star Observation Tower geniuses that Li Xiuping killed are the future of the Star Observation Tower. hope, but among the Seven Holy Lands, only the Star Observation Tower family is in an embarrassing situation...
In this way, the Star Observation Tower is destined to stand on the opposite side of Li Xiuping. What Taiyi Pavilion did was just speed up the process.
…
Farther east, a snow-capped mountain reaches straight into the sky, but a river flows at the foot of the mountain. Even if the snow is flying and the weather is freezing, the river is not affected at all. There is even a layer of milky white heat on the surface of the river.
At this moment, a figure appeared directly on the river bank at the foot of the mountain. As soon as he appeared, he knelt on the ground and almost fell directly into the river.
This person is naturally Li Xiuping.
Facing the powerful men in the Star Observation Tower before, Li Xiuping finally used up the last chance of the jade talisman because his previous state could not last too long. Once the guys from Taiyi Pavilion also joined the battle, he would have to leave if he wanted to. It's going to be extremely difficult.
And with the driving of the jade talisman, the two Li Xiuping also exchanged back. The current Li Xiuping is the Li Xiuping who only had the cultivation level of the Foundation Establishment period. Naturally, he has completely returned to his previous state, plus being replaced by another " "Li Xiuping" used his body to do this, which made his already weak body even worse. Now, let alone a golden elixir stage monk, an ordinary person can easily kill him.
Li Xiuping just knelt in the snow, unable to move.
The snow continued to fall, and soon a thick layer was piled on him. When the snow almost completely covered his entire body, he could barely move.
Li Xiuping was the first to take off the wine bottle from his waist, and then took a sip with some difficulty. Then he sat cross-legged and began to absorb the power brought by the wine to restore the body's wear and tear.
As Li Xiuping sat cross-legged, light began to linger around him, and the snow began to melt, rolling off his body, falling into the river, and then melting into the river.
The originally weak jet-black dragon appeared out of thin air at this time, plunged into the river, and disappeared.
Li Xiuping ignored this and didn't even bother to contact the jet black dragon. All his thoughts were focused on his own body.
Time went on like this, the cold wind was still howling, and the ice was biting, and the heavy snow was still falling, and it melted directly after touching Li Xiuping's body.
After an unknown amount of time, Li Xiuping moved again, then took off the wine bottle from his waist again and took another sip of wine.
After taking a sip of the wine, Li Xiuping did not continue to absorb the power of the wine to restore his own losses. Instead, he stood up directly, then glanced at the river in front of him, put the wine bottle into the river, and took out the river water. Replenish the wine in the flask.
This river is completely opposite to the previous river in Penglai Xianzhou. The river in Penglai Xianzhou was a biting and cold, but this river has a warm feeling, so that in this ice and snow Li Xiuping wanted to put his whole body directly in the river and feel the warmth.
Of course Li Xiuping did not do this. As the river water continued to pour into the wine pot, the entire river surface began to shrink. After the wine pot was filled, the river water slowly returned to its original height.
Li Xiuping hung the wine bottle on his waist, and then began to get in touch with the jet black dragon.
He must leave as soon as possible, because the guys from Taiyi Pavilion and Star Observation Tower will soon catch up. By then, there will be no jade talisman to escape, and there will be no way for his other self to come out and deal with it. If he wants to get rid of the strong men of the two holy places, he must leave as soon as possible. , absolutely impossible.
After being summoned by Li Xiuping, the jet-black dragon left the river directly. The feeling of weakness was reduced a lot. The originally dull scales gradually regained their previous luster.
Li Xiuping didn't expect that the river water could have such miraculous effects, and then he felt the meaning of the jet black dragon.
In their current situation, even if Li Xiuping continues to move forward, the speed will not be very fast. It is only a matter of time before he is caught up by the guys from Taiyi Pavilion and Star Observation Tower. Although the black dragon has recovered a lot, it still cannot carry Li Xiuping. Xiuping went too far, but because of the river, Li Xiuping was able to ride the jet black dragon and use the magical effect of the river to go down the river.
Sensing the thoughts of the jet black dragon, Li Xiuping jumped directly onto the head of the jet black dragon. One person and one dragon just turned into a stream of light and disappeared between the heaven and the earth.
