Winter has arrived, the cold wind is blowing, the mountains are white and bare, and there is almost no color.
Without the decoration of green trees, flowers and birds, the surroundings of the majestic saint's palace on the top of the "Wendao Academy" were deserted and somewhat lonely.
For the super otaku Sage Wen Dao who is used to closing his consciousness alone and hiding in the palace, the scenery outside is of little significance.
However, the Saint's Palace at this time was unexpectedly lively.
It's not that it was so bustling with people coming and going. There were only four people in the whole palace, but for the saint who heard the truth in the dead house, this was undoubtedly a huge breakthrough.
The master of the "Wen Dao Academy" did not use his chair, but sat cross-legged on the ground. On the wooden table in front of him were a teapot and four teacups.
Beside him, Ning Jie in a white shirt and skirt was rolling up her sleeves, revealing Hao Wan, who was as white as snow, holding a teapot and filling a cup with water.
This sage's proud disciple is still fair-skinned and beautiful, with a fairy-like figure and a strong scholarly air. She is an intellectual beauty. However, after a period of silent cultivation, she has become less ignorant and more ignorant. Somewhat calm.
On the other side, two young women also sat cross-legged, facing the saint across the table.
The woman on the left is wearing a pink dress. She has a beautiful face, a slim figure, and a smart and wise light shining in her eyes. It seems that there is a sea of stars in it. At one glance, you will be deeply attracted and unable to extricate yourself. .
The woman on the right looks younger, dignified, beautiful, gentle and charming. She wears a golden crown on her head and a golden robe studded with various kinds of jewels. The crown is surrounded by pearls and emerald green, making her graceful and luxurious.
If Zhong Wen were here, he would be able to recognize these two young beauties as the current Empress Li Yiru of Daqian and Nangong Ling, the chief think tank of Piaohua Palace.
I'm afraid no one would have thought that there would be such a strange combination in the palace on the top of the "Wendao Academy".
Ordinarily, it should be a pleasant thing to be in the same room with three beauties, but the saint who heard the Tao had a bitter look on his face for some reason, and his mood did not seem to be beautiful.
The Queen Li Yiru opposite her also had a solemn face and a solemn expression, obviously worried about something.
Only Nangong Ling still had such bright eyes and a light smile, and seemed not to be affected by the emotions of the other two people at all.
"Is the situation already so bad?"
The saint scratched his hair after hearing the Tao, with a distressed look on his face. He was completely different from the aloof image he had before.
"The entire Xiqi Province has fallen, and only less than 20% of General Xue's troops survived." Li Yiru opened her lips lightly and recounted the battle situation, "There are only more than 2,000 Zhenbei Army left. Only with the help of General Zeng's Midnight Army from Piaohua Palace and Shengyu Trading Company, can they be considered to have preserved their vitality."
"Mr. Ning has already told me, ten thousand spiritual masters, Mo Disheng is such a big deal!" The saint sneered when he heard the news, picked up the cup and took a sip, "We won't complain at all! "
"Now that the saint is unable to take action, the spiritual master is the strongest combat power in the world." Li Yiru frowned and said, "In a head-on confrontation, we are definitely not their enemy."
"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry too much." Sage Wen Dao comforted him softly, "The gap between the seven holy places is not as big as you think. Mo Disheng has a trump card. Could it be that I don't have a backup plan?"
"Senior, do you really have a way to eliminate this Ten Thousand Spirit Lord?" Li Yiru's eyes lit up, full of expectation.
"No." Sensing that the saint didn't seem to want her expectations to ferment, he denied it quickly and decisively.
Li Yiru: "..."
"Mo Disheng vigorously developed human experiments and used all possible means. He did not know how many lives were lost." As if feeling the empress' resentful gaze, the old saint's face blushed slightly when he heard that, and he added with some embarrassment, "Wait a minute. I strictly prohibit any bad behavior that goes against the laws of heaven."
The implication is that the terrifying strength of the "Dark Temple" was obtained by cheating, and it was not the right path.
"Senior is aboveboard, upright and selfless." Li Yiru responded softly, "Yiru admires him."
Although she praised him, there was still a hint of disappointment in her eyes.
"Miss Ling'er, do you have any ideas?" How could the saint who heard the Tao not know what she was thinking? He couldn't help but look embarrassed and turned to look at Nangong Lingdao.
"If we continue fighting like this, we will lose."
Nangong Ling picked up the tea cup with her right hand and put it to her mouth. She covered her lips with her left hand and took a sip. Her posture was indescribably elegant and beautiful.
"How can I see it?"
Hearing her such a definite conclusion, the saint's expression froze and he asked instinctively.
After this period of cooperation, he knew that although the delicate pink-clothed beauty in front of him was less than a fraction of his age, she was a resourceful person rarely seen in the world. Her insight and understanding of things were far beyond the reach of others, so he did not dare to do anything. There is contempt in mind.
"On the surface, it seems that the 'Dark Temple' and the 'Seven Star Pavilion' are facing off against the Four Holy Lands. We seem to have a numerical advantage." Nangong Ling put down his tea cup and replied slowly, "In fact, the other party has already secretly prepared an unknown number of In the new year, we are well prepared, and every move is carefully planned, coordinated and advanced layer by layer. Compared with the four holy places fighting each other, the efficiency is countless times higher."
After hearing the Tao, the saint's face gradually became serious.
"Besides, the enemy's penetration of secular forces is far beyond imagination." Nangong Ling continued to analyze, "According to the information I have obtained, civil strife has occurred in both the Jingyu Empire and the Fulong Empire, and there are some signs of artificial induction. .”
"Sister Ling is right." Li Yiru nodded her head in agreement, "Why don't we go to work? If Zhong Wen hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid..."
When she thinks of Li Rong's misbehavior in the past few days and the series of turbulent situations that followed, she still has lingering fears and fears.
"Yes, the other party seems to be deliberately trying to subvert the political power of the three empires and support puppets to gain control of the secular world." Nangong Ling continued, "Once the conspiracy succeeds, the secular power of the entire continent will fall into the hands of the other party, and the consequences will be It’s unimaginable.”
"Where is the South China Sea Alliance?" the saint suddenly asked.
"The South China Sea Alliance is an island country with no clear center of power. It can be described as a mess and cannot organize any decent force at all." Nangong Ling replied, "Besides, they are located overseas and are extremely far away. As long as they don't take the initiative to provoke them, this alliance will It’s almost useless.”
"To put it this way, it's really not good." The face of the saint who heard the Tao became increasingly ugly.
"Besides, behind the turmoil in several major empires, there seems to be the shadow of the 'Zhuge Thatched Cottage'." Nangong Ling did not care about his emotions and continued to pour cold water on him, "There are various signs that show that this legendary man who is independent of the world and dedicated to studying The mysterious organization has probably joined forces with the other party."
"What on earth is Mr. Zhuge thinking?" The saint's expression changed upon hearing the news.
"It is rumored that 'Zhuge Thatched Cottage' not only has astonishing attainments in divine literature, but also has many masters in its sect. If it were not for the presence of a saint, it would be almost comparable to the Holy Land." Nangong Ling tapped the table with his slender index finger, "If this is true, then in this event In a battle where saints cannot participate, aren’t they the enemy’s third holy place?”
"Miss Ling, if you continue your analysis, I will almost lose confidence." Sage Wen Dao said with a wry smile, "Do we really want that old guy Mo Disheng to dominate the world? Thinking about it makes me feel sick to my stomach."
"What this junior wants to say is that if this continues, the situation will become more and more unfavorable to us." Nangong Ling did not seem to be very nervous. Instead, he pursed his lips and smiled and said, "The outcome of the battlefield involves many things, and who can really predict it?" What about the future?”
"Actually, I am vaguely aware of what you said, but I have never thought about it so thoroughly." The saint who heard the Tao stared closely into her eyes, "With Miss Ling'er's intelligence, now that she has discovered the problem, she must have Countermeasures are already in place.”
"I can't talk about countermeasures, I just have a bold idea." Nangong Ling did not avoid his gaze, "Maybe we need to rely on the reputation and influence of our seniors."
"Oh? I'd like to hear the details." The saint immediately became interested when he heard the news.
"The reason why the other party was able to seize the opportunity is because the three forces are closely connected and cooperate with each other." Nangong Ling said slowly, "As long as we follow our example, we can probably greatly regain our disadvantage."
"How to imitate this?" the sage asked.
"Fingers clenched tightly to form a fist, senior, why don't you raise your arms and call on all friendly forces to come here to discuss plans and form an alliance to fight against the 'Dark Temple' and the 'Seven Star Pavilion'?" Nangong Ling explained, "Once an alliance is formed, , we can gather our forces together and coordinate them in a unified manner, and our combat effectiveness will be far beyond what it can be compared to today.”
"This..." Saint Wen Dao did not expect Nangong Linghui to suddenly make such a big move, and couldn't help but hesitate, "Although I still have some reputation, I have to ask the heroes of the world to come here, I'm afraid..."
"If it were in the past, I'm afraid most of the people who responded would only be big forces." Nangong Ling said with a smile, "But at this time, at that time, people in the world are suffering from turmoil because of these two holy places. Seniors are speaking out now, I’m sure those who will respond will be like clouds, and those who will follow will be like rain.”
"Sister Nangong, even if the world's heroes really respond to the call, there are probably many enemy spies mixed in with them." Ning Jie, who had been silent all this time, suddenly interrupted, "Even in our academy, I'm afraid there are also hidden secrets. There are many undercover agents of the 'Dark Temple'. By then, the other party will know all about the alliance's plans. What should we do?"
"A spy?" Nangong Ling couldn't help laughing when he heard this.
