Lin Yang turned around and saw Zhu Haifo, Qi Fengyang and Lan Yinfeng staring directly at him, and he was immediately frightened.
"Disciple Lin Yang, I have met Elder Zhu, Elder Qi, and Elder Lan." Lin Yang walked quickly to Zhu Haifo and bowed respectfully.
The round jade given by Zhu Ting has not been taken out yet. Lin Yang didn't know why Zhu Haifo stopped him. He was anxious, waiting for Zhu Haifo's next words.
However, Zhu Haifo just glanced at Lin Yang meaningfully, then stopped caring about Lin Yang and started chatting with Qi Fengyang and Lan Yinfeng.
"Lao Zhu, Elder Ye cannot come to Tiangan City because he is attacking the Tianlun Realm. The only choice is for you to stay in Tiangan City for another three years. The leader is deeply sorry for this, and specifically asked me and Lao Qi to express his sincere wishes on his behalf. You apologize." Lan Yinfeng observed Zhu Haifo's face as he spoke.
Sure enough, Zhu Haifo's face immediately darkened, and he said with a sullen expression: "Ye Suyu, this old ghost, clearly doesn't want to come to Tiangan City. Last time he said he was caught in the cold and didn't come to Tiangan City. This time he said he wanted to attack the Tianlun. With his qualifications, he has even reached the Tianlun realm, and he is not afraid of making people laugh. This old ghost is cunning and cunning, making people disgusted!"
"Lao Zhu, please don't be angry. Forget it. Everyone knows what kind of character Ye Suyu is. There is no need for you to get angry or get in bad shape because of him." Qi Fengyang patted Zhu Haifo's shoulder. , expressed his condolences.
"Yeah, let's not talk about Ye Suyu for now. We're not happy anymore. Tell us about Brown Stone Island. I see Zhang Yuanji was present just now, but you all kept silent about it." Lan Yinfeng said with a look on his face. said curiously.
Zhu Haifo now calmed down, sighed, and said meaningfully: "This shouldn't be the first time you two have come to Tiangan City, right? Tell us about your first impression of coming to Tiangan City today."
"How does it feel? Isn't it the same as before? A cold stone city, the air is salty and humid, very salty!" Lan Yinfeng looked around and spoke slowly.
Zhu Haifo smiled and said nothing, looked at Qi Fengyang again, and asked: "Old Qi, how do you feel?"
"On the surface, Tiangan City is much the same as when I came here ten years ago. However, when I entered the Tiangan River just now and saw the people on and on both sides of the river, I found that most of them had more or less aura of hostility in them. If the hostility is severe, trouble will occur. With so many people in Tiangan City having a hostility, I am afraid there will be trouble in Tiangan City at any time." Qi Fengyang frowned.
Zhu Haifo gave a thumbs up to Qi Fengyang and said: "Old Qi, you are so attentive that you actually saw the undercurrents surging in Tiangan City in a short period of time. You are worthy of being a fifth-grade alchemist. Such observation Your strength is truly admirable!”
"Old man Zhu, if you want to praise him, don't praise him in front of me, okay? Where do you want me to put my old face?" Lan Yinfeng said angrily, expressing his dissatisfaction.
Lin Yang stood quietly aside and couldn't help but smile when he heard Lan Yinfeng's words.
"Little guy, if you dare to laugh out loud, I will throw you directly into the forbidden sea!" Lan Yinfeng is a strong man in the Tianlun realm. He can clearly sense the surroundings without releasing his spiritual thoughts. Of course, Feng Chuucao also saw the smile on Lin Yang's face.
Lin Yang's body immediately shook, and he immediately wiped away the smile on his face. He stood up straight with his eyes and nose in mind, not daring to show the slightest expression.
"Old man Zhu, just tell me if you have something to say. Why are you leaving me here?" Lin Yang stood aside, feeling uncomfortable, but he didn't dare to take the initiative to ask.
Zhu Haifo and Qi Fengyang glanced at Lin Yang one after another, and then continued talking.
"Old Qi, your judgment just now is correct at all, but trouble is not going to happen in Tiangan City at any time, but a big trouble has already happened!" Zhu Haifo sighed.
Qi Fengyang looked solemn and asked slowly: "Lao Zhu, stop talking in circles and tell me what happened in Tiangan City?"
"Didn't you just ask about Brown Stone Island? Do you know how the power of Brown Stone Island came from? They were originally the Forbidden Sea Guards of Tiangan City!" Zhu Haifo's words were shocking.
"What? The Forbidden Sea Guards went to Brownstone Island to become pirates!" Qi Fengyang and Lan Yinfeng both exclaimed.
Lin Yang was also shocked when he heard this, because since he stepped into Tiangan City, he has been a Forbidden Sea Guard, but he just lacked the waist card of a Forbidden Sea Guard.
The Forbidden Sea Guards of Tiangan City are divided into eight levels: Ordinary Forbidden Sea Guards, Ten Guards, Hundred Guards, Thousand Guards, Du Guards, Xiao Guards, Commanders and General Commanders.
Yuan Xiu from the top ten sects like Lin Yang, after becoming a Forbidden Sea Guard, will usually at least wear the badge of Hundred Guards.
"Lao Zhu, what happened? Why did they go to Brownstone Island? Isn't this defection?" Qi Fengyang's tone was urgent and his face was solemn.
Zhu Haifo took a deep breath and spoke eloquently.
The island where Tiangan City is located has a rich aura of heaven and earth, no less than the Danxia Mountains of the Danxia Sect. Moreover, when the Yuanxiu predecessors of Qianzhou built Tiangan City, they set up many structures in the outer city, inner city and Tiangan Pavilion of Tiangan City. Spirit-gathering formations of different sizes can gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth from the nearby sea area to Tiangan City, transforming Tiangan City into a blessed land suitable for Yuanxiu cultivation. This is also the reason why Tiangan City, although dangerous, is able to attract many casual cultivators to enter.
However, different areas in Tiangan City have different levels of richness in the aura of heaven and earth. Generally speaking, the aura of heaven and earth in Tiangan Pavilion is the richest, followed by the inner city, and then the outer city. However, only the elders from the elder association can stay in Tiangan Pavilion.
Yuan Xiu who is in the outer city will try his best to get to the inner city. However, the inner city is controlled by the four high-ranking families in Tianqian City. Apart from the four high-ranking families and their affiliated families and some other big forces in the city second only to the four major families, there are only Yuan from the ten major sects in Qianzhou. Xiu can directly enter. Others who want to live in the inner city must pay a large amount of yuan stones and pass numerous tests.
People from the outer city of Tiangan City need to pay a large amount of yuan stones even if they temporarily enter the inner city. Moreover, the price keeps rising again and again.
Most of the huge amounts of wealth collected fell into the hands of the four upper-ranking families.
Some of the people living in the outer city of Tiangan City are warriors from various countries in Qianzhou who were warned and Yuanxiu sects from other Yuanxiu sects except the ten major sects. These people generally stay in Tiangan City temporarily and wait until the duty time is over. When they are full, they will leave, and only a few of them will stay.
Most of the people in the outer city are casual cultivators from Qianzhou. For them, Tiangan City is both a dangerous place and a place of opportunity. The massive Yuan Beasts can bring them rich Yuan Stone income. These casual cultivators generally choose to join Tiangan City and become the Forbidden Sea Guards, which is an important part of the Forbidden Sea Guards.
The aura of heaven and earth in the inner city of Tiangan City is far richer than that in the outer city. Of course, people from the outer city want to live in the inner city, but the four upper-class families continue to increase the cost of entering the inner city, making the people in the outer city dissatisfied.
At the same time, the large and small industries and shops in the inner and outer cities of Tiangan City are all in the hands of the four upper-ranking families and other major forces in Tiangan City. Taking advantage of their monopoly advantages, the four upper-class families and powerful forces drove up prices at every turn, exploiting and squeezing Outer City Yuanxiu in every possible way, causing the Outer City Yuanxiu to become more and more dissatisfied.
When this dissatisfaction accumulated to a certain extent, several Forbidden Sea Guard commanders united together and led tens of thousands of Forbidden Sea Guards and casual cultivators to loot the properties of the four upper-ranking families and other powerful forces in Tiangan City in the outer city, and tried to After breaking through the inner gate, they finally launched an exciting battle with the four upper-level families and other powerful forces. The battle lasted for three days and three nights, with both sides suffering considerable losses.
Even among the seven permanent Pavilion Elders of the Pavilion Elders Association and the four permanent Pavilion Elders from the four upper-ranking families, they were unable to change the situation of the battle, because among the several Forbidden Sea Guard commanders who launched the attack, there were also powerful ones in the Heavenly Wheel Realm.
Because this battle was an internal fight in Tiangan City, and it was against the four upper-ranking families and other major forces, the ten major sects stationed in Tiangan City chose to wait and see and did not participate in the war at first.
Finally, in order to avoid greater casualties and consume the strength of Tiangan City, the ten major sects finally took action to help the four upper-level families repel the rebellious Forbidden Sea Guards before intervening.
With the mediation of the ten major sects, the fighting finally stopped, but the tens of thousands of Yuanxiu who launched the rebellion also withdrew from Tiangan City.
The brown sea area where Brown Stone Island is located has always been a territory that Yuan Beasts are competing for because of the abundance of spiritual energy in the world. There is at least one level four Yuan Beast occupying it all year round. These Yuan Xiu who rebelled from Tiangan City, after driving away all the Yuan beasts in the brown sea area, settled on Brown Stone Island and became a powerful force in the forbidden sea.
Brownstone Island has included all the nearby brown waters within its sphere of influence. Any passing ship passing through the brown waters must pay a certain toll. Especially when it comes to the ships of the four upper-ranking families and powerful forces in Tiangan City, Brownstone Island is often the target of massacres.
At the same time, the brown sea near Brown Stone Island is on the safest channel from Tiangan City to Qianzhou. If we take other detour routes, not to mention the long distance, we often have to pass through the territories of many yuan beasts, which is extremely dangerous.
Therefore, many people who travel between Tiangan City and Qianzhou still choose to pass through the brown sea area even though they know that they will be charged tolls by the people on Brown Stone Island. Moreover, Brownstone Island is relatively tolerant of past casual cultivators and often only collects some Yuan Stones symbolically to declare sovereignty. But they levied as high a fee as possible on some big families and big forces in Tiangan City, especially the four upper-ranking families.
Therefore, the casual cultivators who entered the Forbidden Sea had another option besides entering Tiangan City, which was to join Brownstone Island. The strength of Brownstone Island is increasing day by day, and it has already begun to compete with Tiangan City.
"Such a major change occurred in Tiangan City, why didn't we receive any news?" Qi Fengyang asked.
"The incident happened more than three months ago. It will take some time for the news to reach Qianzhou. Moreover, the Ge Laohui deliberately blocked the news for fear of causing panic in Qianzhou." Zhu Haifo responded softly.
When Lin Yang heard this, he was shocked. The word "Dark Alliance" suddenly popped into his mind, because almost three months ago, the Dark Alliance suddenly turned from dark to bright, and faced Yunmeng Ze Shili Beach. The ten major sects carried out large-scale attacks. The rebellion in Tiangan City and the attack on Shilitan happened almost at the same time. I don't know if it was a coincidence or it was really related to the Dark Alliance.
"If the civil strife in Tiangan City is also caused by the Dark Alliance, then the power of the Dark Alliance is too terrifying!" Lin Yang prayed in his heart, hoping that the civil strife in Tiangan City has nothing to do with the Dark Alliance.
"So many Forbidden Sea Guards and Yuan Xiu have gone from Tiangan City to Brownstone Island, and Tiangan City's strength has weakened sharply. This is not good news for us in Qianzhou." Lan Yinfeng frowned, and then Said: "On the way here just now, Li Guangfu said that there were strange movements of Yuan beasts in the forbidden sea, and even fifth-level Yuan beasts appeared. It is estimated that these beasts also saw the emptiness of Tiangan City's defense and wanted to make big moves. ."
Zhu Haifo nodded and said: "Just last month, the Yuan Beasts in the Forbidden Sea launched attacks on Tiangan City. They were not sporadic. They were only considered large-scale and organized attacks. They were no less than ten times, almost every three days." There was one time. You came at just the right time. Since this month, the yuan beasts that have been banning the sea have suddenly stopped and they have not launched any more attacks on Tiangan City. "
Qi Fengyang's brows furrowed even tighter and he said: "I'm also very surprised. The last time I came to Tiangan City, in the sea near Tiangan City, I could sense hundreds of yuan beasts surrounding me. But this time, near Tiangan City City, in the sea area with a radius of dozens of miles, I didn't detect any trace of a Yuan Beast. Lao Zhu, this is not a good sign."
"I feel the same way, and I feel a little uneasy." Lan Yinfeng raised his eyes and looked at the towering city wall in front of him.
"With so many people leaving Tiangan City, don't the permanent elders of the elders' association have any plan to deal with it?" Qi Fengyang asked slowly.
"Besides asking for more people from the major sects and royal families in Qianzhou, what other options can Tiangan Pavilion have? Moreover, the civil strife in Tiangan City is directly related to them. If they want the people of Qianzhou, they have to think of ways to protect them. I'm just saying it with dignity. However, I heard that an organization called the Dark Alliance suddenly appeared in Qianzhou, causing headaches for the ten major sects. Now the ten major sects have no time to take care of themselves. Is this the case?" Zhu Haifo was far away in Tiangan City, and the news But he is very well-informed.
"Have you heard of the Dark Alliance?" Lan Yinfeng said in surprise.
Zhu Haifo said angrily: "I'm not blind or deaf. The ten major sects were raided in Shilitan, and several Baixuan realms were destroyed. This is already a big deal in Qianzhou. What can I do?" Don’t you know?”
After a pause, his face showed joy again, and he said: "I also know that this time in the Tianxu Realm, our Danxia Sect has not been at the bottom for the first time in the past hundred years, and it has also won the first place for the first time, which is very proud. It’s been a while!”
Having said this, Zhu Haifo, Qi Fengyang and Lan Yinfeng all looked at Lin Yang.
