"I didn't expect that the Quxi Yuan clan had fallen to this point." The Hua Lao clan sighed.
Just now, Yuan Shixiao's words were "greeting". Even if they had faced Emperor Xuan before, the eight great families had never been so humble. It is conceivable that the current situation of the Yuan family after joining the ghost market is really not that good, otherwise it would not be Do this to yourself.
Li Buyi was also a little emotional. Just looking at the behavior of these senior officials of the Yuan family, he felt that it was ridiculous to imagine that the other party was going to stab Gui Shi in the back.
But what he didn't expect was that such a proud person as Yuan Suiyun would follow him out.
Although the other party is now directly under the command of Guizun, what about the reserve and character of a descendant of a noble family?
At this moment, he felt that Yuan Suiyun was nothing more than that. He was really looking down on him for groveling for power.
At this moment, Gong Ziyu and Xiao Ting suddenly stood up.
"You guys." Hua Yaoyue frowned slightly.
As her neighbor for many years, she knew how proud this man was, but judging from his appearance, he seemed to be the same as those degenerate Yuan family members. Is this necessary?
Gong Ziyu didn't explain. He was proud, but he didn't mind bowing his head on small things.
Perhaps in the eyes of members of the aristocratic family like Hua Yaoyue, going out to greet the Ghost Lord was a major event that would damage the character of their aristocratic family, but to Gong Ziyu, this was nothing at all.
Nowadays, only the ghost market can take over the Qinglong Pavilion's industry as quickly as possible. If the entire Qinglong Pavilion is to be relocated later, the space channel of the ghost market may also need to be borrowed. So now, it is not good to go out and show goodwill and avoid unnecessary troubles in advance. .
He didn't care about the opinions of everyone present. In the final analysis, the only people he could look at were the newcomer Luo Yeyuan, and the man in gray robe who was silent but surpassed him and Hua Yaoyue with strength.
What surprised him was that Xiao Ting, who had always been a bit reserved, followed him.
"you"
"I can do anything you can do. Besides, I don't think there's anything humiliating about it. It would be stupid for a weak person to take the initiative to raise his fist in front of a strong person to demonstrate."
Xiao Ting's words seemed to be sarcastic to everyone present.
But his expression was still so cold and serious.
Gong Ziyu did not respond, but after an unknown laughter came from under his bronze mask, the two of them left the hall.
Quiet
The whispers just now have completely disappeared.
Luo Yeyuan walked up to Patriarch Hua Lao with great interest and said:
"The most correct thing you did was to make Hua Yaoyue the clan leader."
"Huh?" Patriarch Hua Lao frowned slightly. Luo Yeyuan showed a deliberate indifference to Hua Yaoyue just now. Everyone could tell that the two sides were not dealing with each other, so what did he mean by suddenly saying nice things now?
"Mother-in-law, the Xie family of Zi Nong has passed away. It is normal for any family to be destroyed suddenly next, but I think that at least before the Hua family is destroyed, the Yuan family must be safe and worry-free."
Luo Yeyuan didn't give the other party a chance to answer, and then walked straight out of the hall. Lu Zhu followed the other party wherever he went, but his eyes, which originally looked a little dull, suddenly became much more lively.
"Are you curious too?" Luo Yeyuan whispered, which was also the last sound heard by everyone at the scene.
Obviously they all knew that the other party was talking to the powerful man in gray robe. As for the target of curiosity, it was conceivable that he was the man who had completely separated everyone in the hall before he arrived.
"Little aunt." Li Buyi looked at Li Canghai seriously.
Li Canghai asked in confusion: "What do you want to say?"
"We are not guests invited in advance, and it is even more inappropriate to sit here at this time."
"Oh, let's go then."
Li Buyi's expression was a little surprised. He could convince himself that he was abiding by the etiquette of guests by doing this, but in front of him, this sister-in-law who seemed to have nothing to do with the world, but was actually very stubborn in some things, he didn't think she could get over it. That level.
"You are thinking too much." Li Canghai said suddenly.
"I don't understand." Li Buyi first went behind the seat, picked up the flagpole sign on the wall with the four characters "Buyi Shenxiang" written on it, and then said to Li Canghai as he walked out of the hall.
"I am a weak person in the middle stage of the Celestial Realm, and I am here as an uninvited guest. I have no so-called face to talk about. As for the face of the Quanzhao Li family, do you think that person cares about it?"
Li Canghai is the one who truly has self-awareness.
The so-called glory of the eight great families has been thrown directly to the ground on the day of the Great Controversy. Only the eight great families that continued to be loyal to Daxuan in the past can retain their original pride.
Someone in the clan had told her this before she took Li Buyi to the Quxi region.
He also reminded her not to be confused about her identity.
Because Daoyu had a deep contact with the ghost market before, Quanzhao Li also indirectly obtained a lot of information about that man, so he also knew better that in such troubled times, such a heroic figure was born, who cares least about the past. of brilliance.
Of course, it is one thing to attach importance to the Ghost Lord, or even to respect it on some level. Talking about specific interests, such as the ownership of that region, is another matter.
At least now, although the first negotiation failed, most people in the Dao domain still feel that it has not affected the relationship with the ghost market too much.
Therefore, as a representative of the Quanzhao Li family, there is really nothing to worry about for Li Canghai when he goes to greet the Ghost Lord who is at the same level as the master of the Dao Shen Palace.
And her words also made Li Buyi, who was stepping into the world for the first time, feel deafening and enlightening.
After the two figures disappeared from the door, only the Hua trio were left in the hall.
Seeing this, Huamanlou said cautiously:
"It's really inappropriate for us to continue to stay here."
Patriarch Hua Lao was silent, while Hua Yaoyue continued to have a cold face, as if someone owed her thirty million.
Hua Manlou took a deep breath and continued:
"Can I represent the Hua family temporarily?"
Patriarch Hua Lao looked at Hua Manlou. This time she was silent for a while before saying, "Okay."
Hua Yaoyue still didn't speak. With her pride, this step was already her limit.
"Then I'll go out first." Hua Manlou stood up, bowed to the two of them, and walked out, but then he heard the footsteps of the Hua Lao clan leader.
The other party followed closely. She seemed to be asking Huamanlou, and she also seemed to be asking herself.
"I already belong to the old generation who can't see the reality clearly, right?"
Huamanlou did not answer. What happened in the hall this time made him realize some of the shortcomings of the Yuelinghua clan.
This disadvantage may have been affected to varying degrees by every clan member from Hua Lao to Hua Yaoyue and then to every member of the Hua family.
To put it bluntly, I can’t quite grasp it.
In the previous battle at the top of the Knife Mountain, Hua Yaoyue announced that the entire Hua family was completely separated from the Daxuan Dynasty, and that they would participate in the struggle for hegemony as an independent force, but they couldn't understand themselves.
At this moment, it is still the same.
She is not suitable as the leader of a force to participate in this game that only careerists can join. With Hua Yaoyue's character, she should take her Yihua Palace and find a place to be beautiful alone.
Although her strength is indeed very strong, she is not strong enough to suppress all dissatisfaction.
Therefore, from a comprehensive perspective, it is not as good as Gong Ziyu, who is very good at handling things.
disappointment.
Hua Man Lou is very disappointed.
He once even had a glimmer of hope that Hua Yaoyue could bring a prosperous future to the entire Hua family. Now it seems that if the other party continues to be confused like this, the entire Hua family will be buried with him sooner or later.
And her character is not an exception.
Just like Patriarch Hua Lao who was beside him at the moment, he couldn't understand what he said after witnessing the senior leaders of the Quxi Yuan clan going to greet the Ghost Lord.
What right does the Hua family have to look down on the Yuan family now? Among the seven major aristocratic families, they are the most attractive. Even if their overall strength is better than that of the Quxi Yuan family, so what. The other party is attached to the ghost market. At least there is one they can look forward to. s future.
In Hua Manlou's eyes, the Yuelinghua clan had completely fallen into darkness.
"Old patriarch, we need to change. We really, really can't go on like this."
Patriarch Hua Lao nodded. She did not make a sound, but quietly walked to the crowd that had begun to line up at the gate of the clan.
Hua Manlou sighed softly and said no more. She was so lost in thought that she didn't know what she was thinking.
——
At the same time, by the Wuligui River.
Fang Geyin, led by Ah Er, came here to wait for Qin Fan.
"Aren't you going?" Fang Geyin looked at A'er who was about to leave directly and asked.
Ah Er shook his head: "I still have a lot of things to deal with."
"But I think you are deliberately avoiding it, obviously."
"That's enough! I think you feel a little uneasy just because you don't have an acquaintance with you."
Fang Geyin was helpless. He admitted that the other party had indeed got some of the reasons right. Logically speaking, when going to Quxi Region this time, there should be two more masters from the Fang family, such as Fang Zhenmei, who is about to break through to the Great Perfection, or Fang Zhenmei, who is the signature of the younger generation. Baoyu.
But both of them were sword madmen. After confirming that Huanjia Fang had officially joined the ghost market, Fang Baoyu skillfully led Fang Zhenmei to update the token belonging to the internal version of the ghost market.
Then, with Fang Geyin's consent, the two handed over some of the secret books collected by the Fang family, exchanged them for some contribution points, and then headed straight to the Buddha Sword Island without stopping.
Before leaving, Fang Zhenmei claimed not to ask him about the relocation and that all his things had been moved here. He even asked himself to exchange his contribution points in time to prevent him from being kicked out of the Buddha Sword Island if he ran out of money.
Fang Baoyu's situation was the same, but the other party's expression was more polite and respectful.
So what can he do if his younger brother and young patriarch are so willful? He can only pamper them.
Moreover, he also knew that the two of them may have sensed the opportunity for a breakthrough at Futu Sword Island, which was why they acted so urgently.
It goes without saying that the importance of a strong person within the clan is very important.
Therefore, Fang Geyin silently accepted the reality that he would go to Quxi Region alone.
It's just that now he can count on an acquaintance, and he is about to face the Ghost Lord for the first time. He is still a little uneasy in his heart. If he hadn't used the technique of watching Qi to take a look at him from a distance, he wouldn't be like this.
But it was because of seeing them that I could truly recognize the gap between the two sides.
"Hey, Shizhi."
"Um?"
"Ahem, Mr. Second, don't you want to go and see it on the spot? After all, this was also a regret of yours. If it had been earlier, maybe it would have happened."
"That's enough, Fang Geyin, don't challenge my bottom line."
"Even if I don't mention it, if you meet that woman again, won't she tell her? You always feel that you owe her something. This psychological flaw may affect many people. Don't forget that your current identity is a ghost market The second gentleman, one of the four great housekeepers.”
"She's not like that!"
"What about Cihang's lineage? If they knew your identity at the moment, would they use her to blackmail you into doing something detrimental to the ghost market?"
Fang Geyin said sternly.
He knew that what he said was a bit over the line. If he had maintained his previous cooperative relationship with the ghost market, he would not have mentioned this topic. However, the Huanjia Fang Clan will move into the Southwest Prefecture, which happens to be adjacent to the Xixuan Prefecture.
If the other party triggers a war through A'er's line, then Huanjia Fang will be the first to bear the brunt.
So even if he knew it was Ah Er's scar, he still needed to get a vaccination, so that when the other party's brain got hot and he did something wrong, his own clansmen would have to pay for it with their lives.
"I understand." Ah Er's tone was heavy, "I will also be with you on this trip."
Fang Geyin breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his goal was achieved.
Just when he was about to say something, his eyes suddenly flashed. On the boat that had just arrived at the riverside, there was an undisguised aura that made him feel extremely dangerous!
"Dzogchen Dzogchen? No, Dharma Realm? It doesn't seem to be the case either."
Then he looked in the direction of the Ming Tower, and saw a shadow passing quickly, and at the same time, the aura it exuded was not weaker than the one who came.
The next second, two figures, one black and one white, collided, and the crisp sound of gold and iron clashed. Moreover, the movement speed of the two reached the limit, and they could only see a flicker of light that suddenly appeared in the air. Even though With Fang Geyin's mental strength, it would be very difficult to completely capture the traces of his actions.
"This is not an enemy."
Fang Geyin glanced at A'er who looked calm. A'er nodded and called the ghost soldiers stationed here. After arranging the guests on the ship as quickly as possible, he watched this wonderful scene leisurely. Fast break versus fast break.
And Fang Geyin subconsciously used his Qi-viewing technique, and suddenly there was a roar in his ears. The entire ghost market scene seemed to be drifting away quickly, leaving only a world of nothingness separated by black and white!
In the black world, a giant white wolf filling his entire field of vision was roaring. Its upper and lower jaws seemed to be able to hold up the sky and the earth. Powerful sound waves further compressed the white world!
At the same time, in the white world, a black tiger that filled his entire field of vision also let out a terrifying roar, mixed with an endless storm, and defeated the incoming sound waves in one fell swoop!
The next second, the black and white world seemed to come to a standstill. The giant wolf and the tiger looked at Fang Geyin, who was as small as an ant, and the tiger and wolf claws as big as a ten thousand-foot mountain suddenly turned toward him. Suppression is coming!
boom--!
Before the giant claw arrives, the strong wind comes first!
The roaring hurricane wrapped the messy gravel tightly. At this moment, Fang Geyin's eyes were only blank gray, and everything could not be seen clearly. The background of the ghost market that was getting farther and farther suddenly filled his entire field of vision.
His qi-gazing technique was once again counterattacked!
puff--!
Immediately after blood spurted out from his mouth, Fang Geyin's body began to shake. (End of chapter)
