After Ye Xun returned, Qu Tan'er quickly changed people to look for Sun Gongtai and told him to wait for her in the front hall.
Qu Tan'er tidied up her appearance in the boudoir before heading to the front hall.
When he came to the front hall, Sun Gongtai had been waiting here for a while. After seeing Qu Tan'er, he quickly bowed his hands and saluted: "Miss."
Qu Tan'er nodded and said directly without mincing words: "Mr. Sun, I received a message from the disciples in the palace, saying that Beicheng has sent people south to Xingyue Sword Gate to eradicate the Ye family."
"Now that the Xingyue Sword Sect is withering, Ye Yun's cultivation has also declined, so Tan'er wants Mr. Sun to lead people to secretly protect the Xingyue Sword Sect, especially brother Ye Xun."
Sun Gongtai looked at Qu Tan'er and pondered for a moment before slowly speaking: "Miss, have you forgotten that even though the boy from the Ye family came to Ningyang City this time, there was also a Wuji Swordsman who, with his cultivation To stay at Xingyue Sword Gate, unless Gao Tianzun comes in person, who can resist Xie Wuji in Beicheng?"
"With him in the Xingyue Sword Sect, no one can harm the Dao Ye family at all, so the young lady rests in her heart that the boy from the Ye family will be fine."
Suddenly nodding slightly, she felt that what Sun Gongtai said was right, and besides, Brother Ye Xun also had several powerful followers around him, especially the girl Ah Qing, whose swordsmanship had reached its peak.
However, Qu Tan'er ordered Fang Wu to observe secretly and report promptly if the situation changed.
...
Half a month ago, Beicheng.
In the Heroes Hall in the city lord's palace, Gao Tianzun is sitting in front of a desk. Although he is ninety years old, he looks like he is only in his sixties. Even though he is sitting behind the desk, he can still show his figure. tall.
Gao Tianzun's beard and hair are all white, with hawk-like eyebrows and phoenix eyes, and there is a slight hint of evil in his eyes.
In fact, in today's Jianghu, the strength is led by the Three Palaces, followed by the Four Cities.
Among the four cities, Dongcheng is the largest, followed by Beicheng.
The Lord of North City, Gao Tianzun, became famous in the world sixty-eight years ago at the age of twenty-three. At that time, his Dao Xuan Qi had reached the early stage of the seventh level of Xu Xuan Realm.
Back then, Gao Tianzun was originally just a peripheral disciple in Beicheng. When he became famous in the world, he was accepted as a core disciple by the then Lord of Beicheng.
Afterwards, under the guidance of the city lord himself, the entity made rapid progress and soon entered the eighth level of Daoxuan Zhenqi.
Therefore, with his talent, Gao Tianzun was respected by all the disciples in the city and ascended to the high position of Beicheng City Lord after the death of Beicheng City Lord. At that time, Gao Tianzun was only in his forties.
Before Gao Tianzun became the city lord, Beicheng ranked last among the four cities in terms of strength.
After that, Beicheng, under the leadership of Gao Tianzun, continued to increase its prestige in the world. Now Gao Tianzun is ninety years old, and under his leadership, Beicheng has reached the second position among the four cities.
This proves that Gao Tianzun has extraordinary leadership capabilities.
It's a pity that this leader cannot be called a great hero, because his actions can be called despicable in the world, and even unscrupulous to achieve the goal.
In the hall, below Gao Tianzun, stood several young people. Of course, they were young, but compared to Gao Tianzun.
"Linglong contributed a lot to killing the leader of the Zhuqing Gang this time. I will record this contribution for you."
Linglong, who was dressed in black, cupped her hands and said, "Linglong was able to kill the leader of the Zhuqing Gang this time just by luck. She doesn't dare to take credit for it."
"Linglong must not be humble, this contribution must be recorded."
Gao Tianzun's voice was loud and confident, not at all like the voice of a ninety-year-old man. At the same time, his tone also contained unquestionable majesty.
"Thank you, Lord City Lord!"
After saying that, Linglong bowed, but there was a black silk scarf covering her face, so her expression could not be seen at the moment.
"The last time the Seven Tigers of Xuanwu Hall went to Wanzhuang to assassinate Wannianshan, it was a pity that Wannianshan was fatal and he was not killed on the spot. However, he was seriously injured. This can be regarded as completing the mission. These seven people should also be credited with a meritorious service. .”
Just as Gao Tianzun finished speaking, another person from the next position walked out, cupped his hands towards Gao Tianzun and said, "Thank you City Lord for recording the merits of the Seven Tigers of Xuanwu Hall."
"I, Gao Tianzun, have always made clear rewards and punishments. As long as you have contributed to my Beicheng, I, Gao Tianzun, will not be stingy with rewards." At this point, Gao Tianzun's eyes suddenly glanced at a tall man in his fifties, and he His aura suddenly became a little colder: "Qinglong Hall has disappointed me this time. Five masters from the hall were sent out, but they did not kill the leader of the Snow Mountain Sect."
This man in his fifties was the master of Qinglong Hall, named Uncle Long Fang. After hearing what Gao Tianzun said, his whole body could not help but tremble, and he felt very uneasy.
Although Gao Tianzun does not hesitate to reward those who have made meritorious deeds, he will also punish those who fail the mission, and even take their lives.
Long Fangbo said: "City Lord, after all, the Snow Mountain Sect is one of the thirteen sects. Its strength is not comparable to that of Wanzhuang and Zhuqing Gang. Moreover, the Snow Mountain Sect is located outside the customs, with snow all year round and a cold climate. Our people are not adapted to the environment there. That’s why the mission failed.”
Gao Tianzun said angrily: "I only want the result and don't care about the process. This time, I will let the five of them be punished in the dry well behind the city. If they can survive in the hands of the madman, I will forget about it."
As soon as he heard about the madman in the dry well behind the city, Uncle Long Fang shuddered unconsciously. When he joined Beicheng, he had heard of this madman. It was said that this man had launched a coup 40 years ago and wanted to He wanted to seize Gao Tianzun's position as the North City Lord, but was defeated by Gao Tianzun. This man was not willing to accept defeat. He was so angry that his blood flowed backwards, damaging the intracranial tissue, and then he went crazy.
Gao Tianzun did not choose to kill him back then, but instead detained him in a dry well behind the city. This oppression lasted for more than forty years.
During this period, as long as someone in Beicheng failed to complete the tasks assigned by Gao Tianzun, they would be thrown into the dry well by Gao Tianzun, and their final outcome would be to be killed by the madman in the dry well.
When this madman was thrown into the dry well, his cultivation had already reached the eighth level of Daoxuan Zhenqi. Now more than forty years have passed, no one knows what level his strength has reached.
Because no one who was thrown into a dry well could come out alive.
Uncle Long Fang wanted to plead for his subordinates, but when he saw Gao Tianzun's sharp eyes, he retracted his words as soon as they came to his lips.
"Linglong, have He Daozong and others sent any news from Ningyang City recently?"
Linglong shook her head: "Back to the city lord, since He Daozong sent back the news that Wang Datong won the position of leader of the Haisha Gang, there has been no news."
Gao Tianzun frowned: "Their progress is too slow. This time Beicheng caused a lot of troubles in the world and assassinated many famous sects or individuals just to provide them with a cover to get rid of the Xingyue Sword Sect. But it’s been so long and they haven’t completed their mission yet, which makes me wonder if they have the strength.”
Linglong said: "Wang Datong and He Daozong have half-stepped into the eighth level of Daoxuan Zhenqi. They are more than enough to deal with the Xingyue Sword Sect, which has been reduced to a small sect. What's more, Ye Yun's strength is also limited due to his disability. As long as the three of them work together, they can complete the task."
"Although Ye Yun's strength has declined, his swordsmanship cannot be underestimated. This time I plotted so much, and even carried out assassinations in the world, and also reached a cooperation with the Guangyao Sect, with the purpose of completely destroying the star. Moon Sword Sect must not fail because of the three of them."
Gao Tianzun rubbed his temples and continued: "Linglong, since the Xingyue Sword Sect is in charge of your Suzaku Hall this time, then you can bring some experts from the hall to go there in person. No matter what, I want Xingyue Hall to go there in person this time." The Moon Sword Sect has completely disappeared from the world."
Linglong cupped her hands and accepted the order: "Yes, Linglong will obey the city lord's instructions."
"You go ahead and do it. In order to deceive others, I will send people to create chaos in the world."
Having said this, Gao Tianzun's eyes suddenly glanced at another woman. This woman was about twenty years old. She was wearing a blue tight-fitting warrior uniform that tightly wrapped her body. A silk scarf also covered the woman's legs. Face, no one can see her face.
But if Ye Xun were present at this moment, he would definitely be able to tell based on her figure that this person was the woman in black who attacked Qingshan Sword Sect with Hua Qiannan and Zhang Lie.
"Lan Ji, in order to cooperate with Linglong, I sent you to assassinate Bai Haoqing, the white jade sage in Xuzhou City. Of course, you only need to create rumors, without actually killing him. Afterwards, you can publicize that other sects did it."
"Yes, Lan Ji will obey the city lord's order."
"That's it for today, please step back."
After receiving Gao Tianzun's expulsion order, everyone walked towards the outside of the Heroes Hall.
After everyone retreated, a figure suddenly appeared behind Gao Tianzun. In the dark corner, only the candlelight reflected in his pupils was revealed.
"Why can't the other characters be killed, but the leader of the Snow Mountain Sect must be killed?"
Gao Tianzun smiled sinisterly and said: "I originally wanted them to blame Dongcheng after killing the leader of the Snow Mountain Sect, because there was a grudge between the two parties, but it is a pity that these losers did not finish it. "
"That's it." A tone of sudden realization came from the darkness.
"This time there are many troubles in the world. On the surface, it is to get rid of the Xingyue Sword Sect, but in fact it is the beginning of our two families carving up the world. I just hope that your master will not break his promise. Although my strength in Beicheng is not as good as yours, but you Master, if you dare to lie to me, Gao Tianzun, you have to weigh my strength in the highest realm of Kongxuan Realm."
The shadow in the darkness chuckled and said: "Don't worry, City Master Gao, my master will never break his promise. When the time comes, we will have to rely on the two families to join forces, so that we can withstand the impact of the ancient martial arts sect after the event is completed."
Gao Tianzun said: "The ancient martial arts sect may be just a legend in the world, and no one has actually seen it so far. Except for those weirdos on the island, the only ones we need to pay attention to are the man who calls himself Donghuang, who is both good and evil, and Another top master."
Shadow pondered: "What City Lord Gao said is exactly right. Nowadays, only the sect behind these two people in the world deserves the real attention of our two families."
