Qingyun Temple, located at the top of Qingyun Peak, is majestic and filled with ancient charm of history.
This temple has been built for hundreds of thousands of years. It has been standing here since the beginning of the Qingyun Sword Sect and is a symbol of Qingyun's authority.
On the way to the Qingyun Temple, Master Qingxuan secretly informed some of the sect's powerful people. Ten people walked out of the sect's restricted area and were already waiting in the main hall.
The hall is very wide, with jade futons on both sides. Each futon is several meters apart, and the futons are located on stone platforms of varying heights.
When Jun Wuxie entered the temple, he saw ten old men filled with powerful auras sitting cross-legged on the highest futons on both sides of the temple.
Princess Anning and the bloody massacre Fan Xichong were also sitting cross-legged on the highest futon.
Master Qingxuan, as the head teacher, sat cross-legged on the futon directly above the main hall.
The first one at Luoxia Peak, the first one at Benlei Peak, and the first one at Yunhai Peak were sitting cross-legged on slightly shorter futons on the lower side.
The elders of the sect are located on lower futons.
Obviously, the height of the futon represents the status of the sect.
The positions of the direct disciples are on the futons under the elders.
But there was one exception, and that was Qin Yi. He actually sat on the futon next to Princess An Ning. That was a position only qualified for those with a strong sect background.
No matter how high Qin Yi's status is in the sect, he cannot be higher than the leader of each lineage. The fact that he can sit there today is probably the princess's request.
When the master and senior brothers and sisters were seated, Jun Wuxie sat on the shortest futon at the bottom.
He looked at Princess An Ning and Qin Yi. Qin Yi's expression was very peaceful, but he could feel a sense of ease and contentment in him.
"It seems that in Qin Yi's heart, he is extremely useful to have Princess An Ning support him today. This feeling of being valued by the powerful princess in public gives him a sense of accomplishment."
Jun Wuxie thought to himself, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise slightly.
Some glory is not so easy to enjoy. If you want to get it, you have to pay.
To climb a dragon and a phoenix, you have to pay some price, but I don't know if Qin Yi can accept that price.
In other words, he actually knew it very well and had already made the final choice.
"Princess An Ning came to my Qingyun today, which really makes my Qingyun shine brightly. We are flattered. I heard from the Princess earlier that there is something important, so please speak out."
Master Qingxuan looked at Princess An Ning with a smile on his face, a flattering look on his face.
But I don’t know what I think in my heart.
"Headmaster Qingxuan's words are serious. I have long heard from my father that Qingyun is a sect with a long history and profound heritage in our Daqian territory. However, I have not visited Qingyun for many years, and I feel very regretful."
Princess Anning was very emotional: "It is not easy for a sect to be passed down through the ages. Over the past hundreds of thousands of years, countless sects have risen in Daqian, and how many sects have withered in the long river of time. Qingyun is prosperous, and it is due. Prosper forever.”
As soon as these words came out, the hearts of the Qingyun executives present were suddenly shocked. Is this a warning with words of emotion and blessing?
The smile on Elder Qingxuan's face did not change and he said: "I accept the princess's good advice."
"This princess suddenly remembered something she experienced when she was a child." Princess An Ning smiled faintly and said: "At that time, my princess was still young, but she was very arrogant. Once, I went hunting in the forest with my father and others. My father The king asked me to follow him, but I refused to listen and insisted on acting alone to show my own strength."
"As a result, I met a tiger in the deep mountains. I was very uneasy at the time because I knew I was no match for it. But I found that the tiger didn't seem to have any intention of attacking, so I gradually calmed down."
"I started to observe it. It was very strong, but it looked a little old, but it had a strong aura of a king. I guess it was the temperament accumulated from being a king for many years."
"I wanted to leave, but I found that the area was like a maze. I couldn't escape, so I had to stand there. But what I didn't expect was that another tiger broke in."
"The tiger was as strong and looked younger. It stared at me, and those eyes seemed to see through my heart. I was very nervous and felt like I was walking on thin ice standing there."
"At that time, I was thinking that this young tiger must be competing with the old tiger for territory. They are going to fight to the death to determine who is the king of this area."
"A lot of thoughts flashed through my mind. I even thought about whether I should help one of them, but I was worried that I had chosen the wrong camp, so I quietly retreated, preparing to watch them fight."
"I thought this would ensure safety, but what I didn't expect was that the young tiger pounced directly on me before attacking the old tiger. At that moment, all my calmness was overwhelmed by fear, and I I don’t even understand why it attacked me first instead of attacking its main enemy.”
"Just when I thought I was about to die, my father arrived and rescued me. From then on, I understood a truth, Headmaster Qingxuan, guess what it is."
The corner of Qingxuan's mouth twitched without trace, and he said with a smile: "The princess's childhood experience was really dangerous. Fortunately, Lord Ning arrived in time. As for the truth that the princess learned from it, please forgive Qingxuan for being stupid. It’s really hard to guess.”
Princess An Ning sighed and said: "Yes, the reason why I can survive is because I have my father behind me. But those who do not have a backer like their father behind them, if they encounter the same situation, the ending will be different." What should I do?”
"So, this princess understands that people should never hesitate when faced with a choice. I should have chosen that young tiger at that time, so that even if my father didn't take action, I might be able to protect myself."
Master Qingxuan said: "Have you ever thought about it, princess? Even if you chose the young tiger at that time, what if it didn't defeat the old tiger? In other words, even if it won, it would turn around. What if we attack the princess again?"
"It depends on personal judgment. Two tigers are equally strong, but one is younger and has longer blood. There is no reason why it cannot win. If it dares to challenge, it must be absolutely sure. Besides, if it wins, , I at least helped it, and it had no strong enemies at that time, and I was no longer a threat, so why would it want to kill me?"
Master Qingxuan was slightly silent and said: "But the princess itself should not be a threat to it, but it still pounced on the princess before the duel."
"No, this is different." Princess Anning smiled faintly and said: "When two powerful forces are fighting, any external factor may affect the final result. I made no choice at that time and seemed neutral, but For the young tiger, it is not sure whether the princess will help its opponent during the duel. This is probably what it thought at the time, so it took action against the princess."
"Qingxuan thought that the princess would remain neutral and would not help the old tiger."
"Yes, Headmaster Qingxuan is right, this princess will remain neutral. But for that young tiger, it is impossible for him to let an unstable factor stay by his side during the duel, so the ending is destined."
"This..." Master Qingxuan said: "In fact, that young tiger is already very strong. There is no need for the princess to help, and there is no need to regard the princess as a threat."
"Yes, but the tiger doesn't think so."
Master Qingxuan was silent.
The atmosphere in the hall became a little depressed, and no one spoke.
Jun Wuxie listened quietly as Princess An Ning compared the current emperor of Daqian to an old tiger and his father to a young tiger.
In this story, her own role is that of Qingyun now. This is telling Qingyun that it is impossible for you to be neutral. If you don't surrender, then when the duel comes, it will be Qingyun's end.
This is a warning and a warning, as well as a naked threat.
"Why did I suddenly talk about my childhood?" Princess An Ning shook her head slightly and said, "That's too far off topic. Let's talk about the business. Recently, what happened in Liuyun Forest must be of concern to you Qingyun. Already know?"
"We Qingyun have known about this for a long time." Master Qingxuan nodded and said: "An unknown change occurred deep in Liuyun Forest. We sent people to investigate, but we were unable to go deep."
"Later, the leader of our sect Zhenwu Peak personally went there, but still could not find out the truth. In the past, those ferocious birds and ancient beasts equivalent to half-step great saints in the depths of Liuyun Forest were widely distributed, and each stayed in their own territory. , but now they are gathered in the same area, and I am afraid that only the great sage dares to get close."
"Yes, all the powerful ferocious ancient beasts in Liuyun Forest are gathered in that area, because there is something they want to get."
"what?"
Master Qingxuan realized that this was probably the purpose of Princess An Ning's coming here, and the story just told was just a slap in the face and a threat.
"A blood-maned lion dog beast that is seriously injured and is about to die, suspected to be in the realm of the Great Sage."
"What?"
This time, not only Master Qingxuan, but also the powerful people present and the leaders of each lineage all exclaimed in surprise.
The blood-maned lion dog beast of the Great Sage!
After cultivating to this level, the strength of the lion's dog beast's talent growth, not to mention that it has transformed into an eternal legend, is at least in the middle and late stages of the legend.
If an ancient beast of this level were to come, it would have the power to destroy the city. Even the Fu Armor Army could not stop it. Only the Fu Armor Army composed of saints had to pay a heavy price to be able to stop it.
"Princess An Ning, is this news reliable?"
Master Qingxuan's heart sank, and he had a bad premonition.
The purpose of Princess Anning coming here and telling such news is self-evident, probably to make them go to the depths of Liuyun Forest.
"The news from this princess is naturally reliable. This is the news that our Prince Ning Mansion only found out after losing a strong man in the realm of the Great Sage. Now, Lieshan Gate, Rising Sun Sect, and Yanxia Cave Heaven have all received the order from the father. , you Qingyun cannot be absent."
"This..." Master Qingxuan looked troubled and said: "Princess Anning, that blood-maned lion dog beast is at the level of the Great Sage, and at least the legendary level. Our Qingyun's strength is limited, I'm afraid..."
Princess Anning smiled and looked at Master Qingxuan: "Headmaster Qingxuan, are you rejecting my father?"
"This... Qingxuan doesn't dare, but our Qingyun is really..."
"Master Qingxuan, my father said that he can understand Qingyun's difficulties and difficulties. This time, if you Qingyun can successfully get the blood-maned lion and dog beast of the Great Sage from the Liuyun Forest for our Prince Ning's Mansion, The beast core and blood essence will allow you to be neutral."
"This is true!"
Master Qingxuan was shocked and confused.
"This is my father's handwriting, Master Qingxuan, please read it yourself."
As Princess Anning spoke, a letter flew up in her hand and landed firmly in the hands of Master Qingxuan.
He opened it and read it again, with a solemn expression, pondering for a moment, and then passed the letter to those with strong foundations.
After reading it, the powerful person gave the first seat to each lineage.
"Senior seniors, please take your seats. What do you think?"
This matter is of great importance, and Qingxuan cannot make a decision.
The heads of each lineage looked at each other, and the powerful ones also exchanged glances, and then they all nodded to Master Qingxuan.
Master Qingxuan took a deep breath, looked at Princess An Ning, and said: "We Qingyun have agreed. If things come true, please keep Prince Ning and Princess An Ning's promise!"
"Of course, but there is one thing that I, the Princess, must make clear. You, Qingyun, will definitely take some of your disciples to practice this time. Qin Yi can go, but you must not let him go deep, otherwise I, the Princess, will very unhappy."
"Qingxuan promised the princess that he would never let Qin Yi go into danger. Princess, please rest assured that Qin Yi is our most proud disciple of Qingyun. How can we let him go deep into danger before we can protect him."
"Then you, Qingyun, just wait for the news. At present, the blood-maned lion and dog beast is not extremely weak, so you have to wait. When the time is right, you will take back the talisman message from our Prince Ning's Mansion. Don't delay at that time, and go to Liuzhou as soon as possible. Cloud Forest.”
After Princess Anning finished speaking, she stood up and said to Qin Yi: "Send me away and go for a walk with me."
Qin Yi suddenly smiled and said: "Qin Yi is honored." After speaking, he hurriedly walked to Princess Anning and walked side by side with her.
Headmaster Qingxuan stood up with everyone to see him off, and said politely: "Isn't the princess not in Qingyun Xiaoliu?"
"No, the affairs in the palace are busy, and I have to worry about my father."
As she said this, she, Qin Yi and Renshou Xue Tu walked out of the Qingyun Temple.
Everyone in the main hall stood up and sent Princess An Ning away from the mountain gate.
"Everyone from Qingyun to Princess Anning is sent to you with all sincerity!"
Everyone bowed to see each other off until Princess An Ning and others disappeared from sight.
She did not sit in the phoenix chariot, but walked side by side with Qin Yi.
call!
Master Qingxuan breathed a heavy sigh, looked at the leader of the several veins, and said: "Go to Qingyun Temple, we have to discuss this matter carefully!"
The first person at Luoxia Peak, the first person at Benlei Peak, and the first person at Yunhai Peak all nodded solemnly and followed Master Qingxuan away.
"It's all gone."
Master Chengyuan said to the sect disciples gathered here.
He looked at Jun Wuxie, Nan Jin, Yun Shu, Yi Ling, and Han Ye who were beside him, and said, "You guys go back to Zhenwu Peak first." After saying that, he dodged and caught up with the leaders of each vein.
In front of the mountain gate, disciples from all walks of life dispersed one after another, and soon there was no one left.
"Junior brother, what are you thinking about?"
Yi Ling looked at Jun Wuxie who was in a daze.
"Let's talk about it back to Zhenwu Peak."
Jun Wuxie felt that this matter was definitely not that simple.
He and Han Ye pushed the senior brother, and Yi Ling pushed the second senior sister, and quickly returned to Zhenwu Peak.
Returning to the courtyard of Zhenwu Peak, Jun Wuxie stood beside the mountain spring and stream, looking at the stream in silence.
Jingya heard the commotion and came out. Seeing his demeanor, she didn't come forward to disturb him, but silently made tea.
Senior brother Nan Jin, second senior sister Yun Shu, third senior sister Yi Ling, and fourth senior brother Han Ye were all looking at each other at this time.
"If our sect can succeed this time, we won't have to walk on thin ice between Prince Ning and the Emperor in the future."
Han Ye said this, senior brother Nan Jin and third senior sister Yi Ling nodded.
Second senior sister Yun Shu remained silent.
"Fourth Senior Brother, you may be thinking too simply."
Jun Wuxie turned around and walked over.
"Junior brother, what do you say?"
Several of his senior brothers and sisters looked at him with doubts on their faces and said, "The promise was written in Prince Ning's handwriting and written in black and white. As a king, he will not break his promise."
"I support my junior brother's opinion."
Second senior sister Yun Shu, who had been silent until now, suddenly said.
"Second Senior Sister, do you also think that Prince Ning will not keep his promise?"
They all looked at her with puzzled eyes.
