Gao Liansheng sent people to search for Lin Lang all over the city. After no progress was made, he decisively terminated the search. Now that Chen Shu's death had been found to be related to Lin Lang, he had an explanation for Jade Bone Mountain. What happened next made them Jade Bone Mountain handles it yourself. As the city lord of Xian'an City, Gao Liansheng's most important responsibility is to defend Xian'an City. Xian'an City is in danger, so he has no extra manpower to waste on Chen Shu.
However, there was one thing that made Gao Liansheng very troublesome. As soon as Chen Shu died, the Yuanxiu cultivators in Jade Bone Mountain did not listen to Gao Liansheng's orders at all. Without the help of Yuanxiu from Jade Bone Mountain, it would be difficult for Xian'an City to withstand the joint attack of Zheng's army and Fire Lotus Valley. Even if it could resist, it would be at a heavy price.
In response to the current situation, Gao Liansheng felt that he could not hope that the Zheng army would not attack Xian'an City. He had to send some information to the Zheng army outside the city and tell Zheng: Xian'an City is not afraid of you attacking!
Therefore, Gao Liansheng took Fang Kui and Fang Qi to the top of Xian'an City, cut off their heads personally, and hung their heads on the city tower.
The poor Fang family father and son could have survived for a few days, but because Lin Yang killed Chen Shu, they were sent to hell early.
Gao Liansheng didn't know the consequences of his actions, he just did what he had to do. Because if we don’t do this, according to the intelligence from the city lord’s palace, Zheng Guo and Huoliangu will launch an attack on Xian’an City tomorrow at the latest. As long as Huolian Valley participates in the war, according to the current situation, it will be difficult to defend Xian’an City!
Gao Liansheng dared to come out like this now, and he knew very well in his heart that Zheng Guo and Huoliangu would either launch an attack immediately; or they would be worried and hold back, which would give Xian'an City a few days to maneuver. As long as Qiu Changji can arrive within these few days of maneuvering time and comfort the Yuanxiu cultivators in Jade Bone Mountain, Xian'an City will be able to survive the immediate crisis. Finally, when the royal family's reinforcements arrive, the siege of Xian'an City will be completely lifted.
Lin Yang killed Chen Shu, which was a problem for Gao Liansheng. Of course Lin Yang had considered this situation, but he still attacked Chen Shu. The reason why Lin Yang did this was because he knew that if Chen Shu was not eliminated, even if reinforcements from the Changguo royal family arrived, the war in Xian'an City would not stop immediately, and would even intensify, because Chen Shu wanted more dead souls. . Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. Only by getting rid of Chen Shu can the war in Xian'an City truly come to an end.
Lin Yang was looking at the distance, while Gao Liansheng was gambling. However, Gao Liansheng made the right bet.
Chen Shu was killed by Lin Yang. Zheng Guo and Huoliangu didn't even know that Chen Shu was dead. They saw Gao Liansheng's provocative behavior and thought that Gao Liansheng was deliberately provoking them to lure them to attack. As a result, the original siege plan was cancelled, and the Zheng army chose to stand still.
…
Twenty miles outskirts of Xian'an City, an old man with gray hair and boyish face was hurrying on his way. He was none other than Qiu Changji, the elder of Jade Bone Mountain. Originally, he had set out from Jade Bone Mountain a long time ago, but because Chen Shu, who he had no dealings with, was the person in charge of the war in Xian'an City, Qiu Changji deliberately slowed down, stopped and walked, and played while walking. . If he hadn't suddenly received a message from Shanmen, it would have taken Qiu Changji more than ten days to reach Xian'an City.
When Qiu Changji learned that Chen Shu was dead, he did not dare to delay any more and immediately rushed to Xian'an City. The reason why he was so impatient was certainly not because of Chen Shu. Chen Shu was dead and it was too late for him to be happy. But after all, Chen Shu is the deputy mountain master of Jade Bone Mountain and represents the face of Yugu Mountain. If this matter cannot be handled quickly and properly, Jade Bone Mountain will become a joke in the mouth of others.
"Is this Elder Qiu from Jade Bone Mountain in front of you?"
Qiu Changji was thinking about how to deal with the incident in Xian'an City when he saw a man with a black beard standing in the middle of the road ahead.
"I am the captain of Jade Bone Hill. Who are you? Why are you blocking my way?" Qiu Changji stopped. The black-bearded man in front of him only had energy fluctuations at the ninth level of the Condensation Realm, but Qiu Changji I can detect some dangerous aura from his body.
"He's just an unknown person. Elder Qiu doesn't need to take it to heart. I'm waiting for Elder Qiu here. I have important matters to discuss with Elder Qiu. I also ask Elder Qiu to stop for a moment." The black-bearded man was Lin Yang. Chuqiu Changji cupped his hands.
"Hmph! You don't even dare to inform anyone of your last name. Why should I discuss it with you? I have something important to do. If you still want to stop me, don't blame me for turning against you!" Qiu Changji snorted coldly, his expression a bit grim. Not pretty.
After all, Qiu Changji is a high-ranking figure in Jade Bone Mountain, and he has some airs. How can he allow someone to come out and have a discussion with him?
"It seems that I have to show off my skills to get Qiu Changji to condescend to talk!" Lin Yang guessed what Qiu Changji was thinking, and he didn't say much. With a thought, he summoned the two Jingfeng Beasts and the Nether Cat. come out.
"Beast Controlling Technique? Are you from the Beast Controlling Sect?" Qiu Changji was quite knowledgeable and recognized Lin Yang's method at a glance.
"Hasn't the Beast Control Sect been exterminated a long time ago? Who are you?" Qiu Changji's expression began to become serious. Although he was at the peak of the Yuan Ji Realm, if he wanted to combine two Shocking Wind Beasts and one It would take a lot of effort to deal with a ghost cat, not to mention there was Lin Yang who made him unable to see the depth.
"Why should Elder Qiu insist on my name? I am waiting for Elder Qiu here because of Chen Shu's affairs. I wonder if Elder Qiu is interested?" Lin Yang clearly saw that he had shown enough strength and threw out Chen Shu's After talking about the topic, the arrogant look on Qiu Changji's face disappeared.
"My friend, I'll make a long story short." Qiu Changji changed his name to Lin Yang.
"Elder Qiu, have you ever heard of the Dark Alliance?" Lin Yang went straight to the point.
"Dark Alliance!" Qiu Changji raised his eyebrows. Of course he knew that the Dark Alliance had recently become famous in Chang Kingdom and had brutal methods.
"Little friend, please speak frankly." Qiu Changji frowned.
"Chen Shu, the deputy sect master of Guishan, is a member of the secret alliance." Lin Yang spoke slowly.
Qiu Changji suddenly changed his color and said loudly: "Little friend, please don't talk about baseless things. Do you know that what you just said is disrespectful and slanderous to our entire Jade Bone Mountain!" Qiu Changji's There was anger in his words.
Lin Yang's expression remained unchanged and he said calmly: "I must know that this matter is related to the thousand-year reputation of Jade Bone Mountain. If it is baseless, how dare I make nonsense. Since Elder Qiu has heard of the Dark Alliance, then you must know about the Dark Alliance. Soul refining thing?"
"So what? What does this have to do with Chen Shu?" Qiu Changji quietly activated his Yuan Power. As long as Lin Yang couldn't give a reasonable explanation, he was ready to take action directly.
"Elder Qiu should know the soul-locking bead, right?" Lin Yang directly threw the soul-locking bead collected from Chen Shu to Elder Qiu, and said at the same time: "There is Chen Shu's soul aura on the soul-locking bead, Elder Qiu must have It won’t be unfamiliar.”
Qiu Changji took the soul-locking bead and after a little exploration, his expression immediately changed, because he did sense Chen Shu's remaining soul aura on the soul-locking bead.
"Chen Shu is the nail that the Dark Alliance drove into Jade Bone Mountain. He tried his best to promote the war between Chang Guo and Zheng Guo. His purpose was to collect enough dead souls. The Soul Locking Pearl has been given to Elder Qiu. If Elder Qiu doesn't believe it, or I don't want to believe it. Then I will use other methods to let Zheng Guo and Chang Guo know about this!" The only evidence in Lin Yang's hand is the soul-locking bead, and his words are just to scare Qiu Changji deliberately.
Lin Yang expected that since the thousand-year reputation of Jade Bone Mountain was at stake, Qiu Changji would definitely not dare to take the risk.
"Why are you looking for me, little friend?" Qiu Changji asked slowly after thinking for a moment. He wanted to find out Lin Yang's purpose first and then respond.
"I killed Chen Shu." Lin Yang said word by word.
Qiu Changji seemed to have guessed the cause of Chen Shu's death at this moment. He said nothing and looked at Lin Yang quietly, waiting for Lin Yang's next words.
"I didn't want to be involved in the matter between you Jade Bone Mountain and the Dark Alliance, but Xian'an City and I have some connections. I can't just watch Chen Shu kill the soldiers and civilians of Xian'an City. Therefore, I I killed Chen Shu and met you here in the hope that you can come forward to negotiate with Huolian Valley, let Zheng Guo and Huolian Valley retreat, and eliminate the military disaster in Xian'an City. In exchange, I will serve as Chen Shu's secret ally. Guishan concealed it and never let others know about it." Lin Yang spoke out his intentions in a leisurely manner.
"Little friend, you think too highly of me. I'm afraid Fire Lotus Valley is not that easy to convince." Qiu Changji responded calmly. He was actually a little moved by Lin Yang's proposal. He originally did not advocate a war with Fire Lotus Valley, but Chen Shu was in the limelight and he advocated vigorously, but Qiu Changji was helpless. Now that Chen Shu has been eliminated, Qiu Changji's wishes have been fulfilled, and the reputation of Jade Bone Mountain can be restored. However, Qiu Changji didn't tell any lies. The Fire Lotus Valley and Jade Bone Mountain had officially started a war. He couldn't calm down the war between the two sects with just one mouthful. Moreover, if Jade Bone Mountain takes the initiative to seek peace, Fire Lotus Valley will definitely make the lions open their mouths, and Jade Bone Mountain will definitely pay a heavy price. The strength of Jade Bone Mountain is not weaker than that of Fire Lotus Valley, and is even slightly stronger than that of Fire Lotus Valley. Qiu Changji is somewhat reluctant to make Jade Bone Mountain sue for peace and pay a high price.
"If Elder Qiu brings something like this, it will surely increase his confidence." Lin Yang threw a box to Qiu Changji, which contained Chen Shu's head.
Qiu Changji opened the box, glanced at it, and immediately closed it, his expression obviously a bit joyful.
"Little friend, I will try my best!" Qiu Changji said in a deep voice.
"Elder Qiu, if taking this head can't make the Fire Lotus Valley retreat, it only means that Elder Qiu has not tried his best on this matter. I will only give Elder Qiu three days. If Elder Qiu takes three days, I have been unable to persuade Fire Lotus Valley to retreat. The thousand-year reputation of Jade Bone Mountain will be shattered into pieces! Of course, Elder Qiu has another option, which is to kill me here. However, Elder Qiu also wants to After careful consideration, if you can't kill me, you definitely don't need to wait until three days later, tomorrow at the latest, Jade Bone Mountain will become famous!" Lin Yang's voice turned cold, and after he finished speaking, he turned around and raised his head The feet left slowly, two Jingfeng beasts flew around him, and the ghost cat lay lazily on his shoulders.
Qiu Changji looked at Lin Yang's retreating figure. He clenched his fists and struggled deeply in his heart. Finally, he let out a long sigh and unclenched his fists. Lin Yang was so mysterious that Qiu Changji didn't dare to take action rashly.
…
Gao Liansheng finally breathed a sigh of relief because Qiu Changji arrived.
However, what puzzled Gao Liansheng was that after Qiu Changji arrived in Xian'an City, he did not mention anything about Chen Shu, but only asked him to send envoys to the Zheng army and Fire Lotus Valley to agree on negotiations.
On the second day, reinforcements from the Changguo royal family arrived and set up camp ten miles away from the outskirts of Xian'an City.
Three days later, the Zheng army broke out and retreated. Yuan Xiu from Fire Lotus Valley and Jade Bone Mountain evacuated Xian'an City one after another, and Xian'an City survived the crisis.
The whole city of Xian'an was filled with joy and became a sea of joy.
Lin Yang stood on the hilltop opposite Xian'an City, listening to the thunderous cheers in Xian'an City, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he smiled knowingly.
Then, he rushed down the mountain and left Xian'an City.
Of course Lin Yang has to leave Xian'an City, but not now. He now has something that has been on his mind for a long time and needs to be done.
After leaving Xian'an City, not all Yuan Xiu from Yugu Mountain followed Qiu Changji back to Yugu Mountain. Some Yuanxiu broke away from the main force in the middle and went about their own affairs, including Ji Chengkang. .
Ji Chengkang's right eyelid has been twitching for a while. As the saying goes, if the left eye twitches, wealth will twitch and the right eye will twitch misfortune. This frightened Ji Chengkang. When he was in Xian'an City, he was always worried that he would die at the hands of Huoliangu Yuanxiu, so every time he defended the city and fought against Huoliangu Yuanxiu, he would always shrink to the end. As long as he could stand two steps back, he would never do it. Just stand one step.
Zheng Guo withdrew his troops and the Fire Lotus Valley evacuated. Ji Chengkang finally breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he had finally escaped disaster.
However, it was already forty miles away from Xian'an City, and Ji Chengkang's right eyelid was still twitching, and it was twitching even more violently.
Ji Chengkang was disturbed by his twitching right eyelid, and even his favorite drink tasted bland.
"Boss, is your wine watered down? Why is it so bland?" Ji Chengkang was in the wine shop next to the official road. He slapped the table and was ready to spread the evil fire stirred up by his right eyelid into the wine shop. .
"Sir, you have wronged me. This little old man has been selling wine here for twenty years. He is an honest man. Only the customers think that my wine is too strong. No customer has ever said that my wine has been watered down. ." The boss with a half-white beard ran over quickly and smiled cautiously with him.
"Why are you so dull without adding water?" Ji Chengkang rolled his eyes and pretended to throw the wine bowl and flip the table.
"Sir, your wine and this guest's wine are scooped from the same jar. Please tell me whether this wine is light or not?" There were only two guests in the wine shop. Seeing that Ji Chengkang was deliberately looking for trouble, the boss had no choice but to ask another customer for help.
There was another guest, with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, a handsome face, and a small lock of black hair hanging from the right side of his forehead. Who else was it if it wasn't Lin Yang.
