Outside the Yuan family gate.
Yuan Shixiao and others have been standing here for half an hour.
No one took the initiative to complain, whether it was Gong Ziyu who seemed the most unruly, Granny Hua who was the oldest, or Li Buyi who was an uninvited guest.
From the moment they came to greet Yuan's house, they should have anticipated some possible situations.
In comparison, just waiting here quietly is not that embarrassing.
Under the calm surface, various mental fluctuations appeared frequently. It was obvious that they were not just standing dryly.
"How long do you think we have to wait?" Xiao Ting asked Gong Ziyu on the side calmly.
After Gong Ziyu thought for a while, Chuanyin replied:
"It should be soon. Yuan Shixiao should have waited for everyone to arrive before notifying Guizun that half an hour would be the limit if he could reach the Quxi Region directly through the space channel he built. Moreover, what should be tested is almost the same. ”
"Testing?" Xiao Ting was puzzled.
Gongzi Yu straightened the bronze mask on his face and said:
"Do you think that Ghost Lord is a person who deliberately has an attitude? Everything he does has a deeper purpose. For example, this scene at this moment is to test our attitude and the attitude of the Hua family. , and that Luo Yeyuan."
"What's the purpose?" Xiao Ting really didn't know much about Qin Fan. It was Gong Ziyu who had been researching the ghost market.
"What I can think of is to identify the relationship between enemies and friends first. For example, Luo Yeyuan should be part of the plan.
Of course, this was to make Hua Yaoyue realize the reality and isolate her in one fell swoop. The proud woman was obviously in a bad mood at the moment. She was the only one sitting there in the empty hall. What do you think? What will she think about? "
"I don't know." Xiao Ting said silently, "I can't understand the madman's brain circuit. Besides, how can Ghost Lord be confident that we will all come out to greet him. This isolation is meaningless if one more person stays in the hall."
Gong Ziyu was silent for a while and said:
"Is it really meaningless? When you and I went to the appointment, we agreed to cooperate with the Ghost Lord's plan. The same should be true for Luo Yeyuan over there. There is also the boy from the Hua family. His situation is also somewhat suspicious.
Although it seemed that he was easing the contradictions and conflicts that were about to break out, his actions pushed Hua Yaoyue completely into a lonely person.
Don't forget what I said before, the relationship between friend and foe cannot only be seen clearly through his actions, but the Ghost Lord also has to confirm whether he has taken the opportunity to change his mind on the spot.
If anything, this basin of cold water should be able to instantly wake up some people who are suddenly dizzy. "
"Then what if there is still someone who is obsessed with tearing things apart?"
"Why do you think the Ghost Lord drove away the Yuelinghua clan?" Gong Ziyu did not answer directly, but suddenly asked.
Xiao Ting thought for a while and said:
"Because of time, if the Hua family is to be destroyed, the other party will definitely involve the entire Southeast Prefecture to be buried with it. The collapse of order in a state will cause a lot of energy to be involved in the ghost market, and after knowing that Tianwai is coming.
We all know that what we have to fight for in the future is not the current place, so we cannot afford to delay it. "
"It's because we can't afford to delay, not because we have to." Gongziyu said solemnly, "The best solution is to drive away the Yuelinghua clan, and then the ghost city can take over the entire Southeast Prefecture in the shortest possible time. But if this If the plan fails, that person will probably give up the state directly.
So the question comes back. If someone is obsessed with causing trouble, this person may be me at Qinglong Pavilion, or maybe that Luo Yeyuan. What do you think will happen to the troublemaker? "
"Death." Xiao Ting frowned slightly, "Even something more terrifying than death may happen. The ghost city has taken the initiative to set up a banner of peace. If someone insists on cutting it off, what will happen will be Ultimate destruction.”
Gong Ziyu smiled and said:
"So, you understand this, I understand it, and Luo Yeyuan should also understand it. Granny Hua who doesn't know the true purpose may not understand it now, but she will definitely understand it later. Only the stubborn Hua Yaoyue is left. Then it's not a big deal.
It is true that she is now the patriarch of the Yuelinghua clan, but the responsibilities that come with sitting in this position are not easy to shoulder.
If she can't bear it anymore, then she will be forcibly torn off this identity, and the impact it can have is limited to the Yihua Palace, which is like playing house, and the combat power of a mere Dharma Realm. "
"It's just a Dharma Realm combat power." Xiao Ting was helpless, "What you said is really arrogant."
"For me, Qinglong Pavilion, to deal with a Dharma Realm, even if we try all kinds of methods, we may not be able to defeat the opponent. But if it is a ghost market, I believe he will give us a perfect answer next."
Gong Ziyu's eyes narrowed slightly, and through the gaps in the mask, the light he felt seemed not so warm.
Xiao Ting was silent. He was digesting the information Gong Ziyu said, and also overturning the original impression, and getting to know the man he had never met before from the perspective of looking up to a generation of overlords.
On the other side, Luo Yeyuan also had the same analysis as Gong Ziyu.
In fact, he was seven times more vigilant and wary of Qin Fan than Gong Ziyu, simply because the man who was more powerful than him was loyal to the Ghost Lord.
So he set his position very low from the beginning, or in other words, after Xia Jinyu counterattacked him as the third shopkeeper, it was difficult for him to view Qin Fan from a relatively level perspective.
But at this moment, just by seeing the big from the small, he was sure that his judgment had not been overestimated by one point, and even the difficulty of that man was beyond his imagination.
Therefore, he also understood that first the Yuan family of Quxi took refuge, and then the Fang family of Huanjia also vaguely confirmed their position. These two aristocratic families who had once separated from the country were completely under the command of that man. There was nothing absurd about this matter. feel.
It's just that compared to Gong Ziyu, there is Xiao Ting who can discuss it. Luo Yeyuan can only digest any problems and ideas by himself.
Even if there is a master with ceiling-level combat power standing next to him.
"It should be there soon." While Luo Yeyuan was deep in thought, he did not forget to comfort Lu Zhu. He was afraid that the other party would become impatient and suddenly lift the table.
But Lu Zhu's performance is very calm, and even judging from the various agitated auras now, he is the most stable one.
"Don't worry about me. Even if you wait for a day, I won't ruin your business."
"Your temper is good enough."
"It has nothing to do with temper. It's because you thought too highly of us at first."
"Oh? This is the first time you have proposed this statement to me." Luo Yeyuan was confused.
"We are facing a force that can destroy five masters at the same level as me. I'm worried that you think too highly of my power." Lu Zhu said seriously.
After Luo Yeyuan thought for a while, he understood and said:
"Is it because you are waiting for the Ghost Lord that you are so good-tempered?"
"That's understandable." Lu Zhu said in silence for a while, "Of course the more important problem is that your world feels to me like the water is too deep.
Maybe the five people who died are nothing special to you.
But in fact, they belong to our group of explorers and are the best performers in the same realm.
If I were to open up a new world, I would need to be cautious about any of those five people I face in private, but now they are all dead. "
"I understand. In fact, you can't understand why they died so easily."
"Yes, but I don't dare to delve into this issue in depth." Lu Zhu closed his eyes, which obviously meant to stop the topic here.
After Luo Yeyuan touched his chin, he felt that in such a situation, the other party unexpectedly revealed some true thoughts to him, which was undoubtedly beneficial to him, but he did not continue to ask further.
Instead, he also became quiet and looked ahead quietly.
The big fireball hanging high in the sky seemed to be less scorching. He didn't know if it was a momentary hallucination. He felt that there were dark clouds that were quickly eroding the blue sky, including the fireball, which was about to be swallowed up. Lose.
"It's getting dark." Li Buyi raised his head and subconsciously wanted to use the Nine Palace Calculation Technique, but Li Canghai on the side pressed down his calculation finger in time.
"Someone caused the celestial phenomena." Li Canghai explained.
Li Buyi nodded suddenly, and then looked at the other party with some confusion.
"Can't inducing celestial phenomena only produce small-scale changes? But now?"
Li Buyi pointed blankly in the air. The dark sky covered every corner of the field of view. It was shrinking rapidly and was about to completely swallow up the remaining sky blue above the Yuan family.
"Relax, you don't need to hold on for the next thing."
Hearing the sound in his ears, Li Buyi looked at his sister-in-law in confusion.
Li Canghai took out the sound transmission token, shook it to indicate:
"Since you confirmed that these forces did not come together to create a rebellion in the Ghost City, and Hua Yaoyue questioned Gong Ziyu before about his appearance, which meant that what was about to happen seemed to be an internal problem within the family, I informed Lao Ancestor.
At that time, if we successfully left the Yuan family, we could ask him to take care of us. If we failed and could only passively participate, at least his presence would not make me, Quanzhao Li, a passerby. "
"Is it too late?" Li Buyi also knew that with his status, he would not be able to sit in this position. Even after the Ghost Lord arrived, he probably wouldn't even be qualified to say a word. Therefore, Li Canghai's move to shake people off in advance was very serious. correct.
Li Canghai did not answer.
She looked forward with a solemn expression, and saw a few figures constantly changing. Every time they appeared, they were closer to the Yuan family's gate.
This also made him extremely sure that everyone who came was a master, and the worst one was better than him!
Lu Zhu, who had always seemed to be out of the situation, suddenly stopped breathing and stared directly at one of the figures.
"coming."
After he whispered a word, the dense black clouds in the sky seemed to explode in an instant, and the warm sunshine fell again, and the dazzling golden light just enveloped Qin Fan who had arrived outside the gate of the Yuan family.
At the same time, Yuan Shixiao, who was in a daze, suddenly felt his sleeves being pulled. He saw that Yuan Shisanqian on the side had begun to raise his hands, and dozens of Yuan family members standing behind him also They all bowed and saluted.
Yuan Shixiao quickly adjusted his posture and said seriously:
"Greetings to Lord Ghost!"
Dozens of people performed the worship ceremony together, and a few heads popped out and looked particularly conspicuous.
Gong Ziyu and Xiao Ting, who were the first to react, immediately handed over their hands together. Luo Yeyuan also followed suit. Li Buyi, who was confused, was directly knocked down by Li Canghai, who had quick eyes and quick hands. Hua Manlou and Patriarch Hua Lao were silent for a second. Finally, he could only bow.
At this moment, Lu Zhu was the only one who remained standing. Qin Fan did not speak. His ghost mask covered with a layer of golden light was slowly moving towards the other party. A pair of cold eyes looked at this person with a faint look of horror. man.
Under this silent gaze, Lu Zhu lowered his head.
"Greetings. Ghost Lord"
He said these words with difficulty, and at this moment, the pressure and murderous intent that enveloped him completely disappeared. He subconsciously let out a sigh of relief, but did not raise his lowered head.
"Now that everyone is here, let's get started." Qin Fan passed the crowd and was the first to step through the gate of the Yuan family.
Immediately, everyone was about to follow, but saw Qin Fan suddenly stop and look towards the northeast.
Then his eyes retracted, but stayed on Li Buyi and Li Canghai for a moment.
"It looks like there are more than two uninvited guests."
"Ghost Lord, I." Li Buyi was about to speak, but he found an irresistible strong pressure that directly enveloped him. This power came from a weak-looking man behind Qin Fan. His temperament was similar to that of Lu before him. Much like bamboo.
It seemed that he couldn't get excited about anything, including Lu Zhu's expression which was extremely solemn now. He just glanced at Lu Zhu lightly, his eyes were dull and he didn't know what he was thinking.
The next second, several people present who had reached the realm of Pure Yang in spiritual power all felt an unstoppable and powerful sword intent approaching at an extremely fast speed!
Fang Geyin looked at the direction where the sword energy emerged with interest, while A'er on the side covered his two rounded eyes with lightning speed, and his voice reached Fang Geyin's ears.
"Don't seek death! If you cough up a mouthful of blood at this time, it will bring shame to the entire ghost market!"
Ah Er felt very hurt. He knew that some people couldn't keep their mouths shut, and then disaster came out of their mouths.
But this was the first time he encountered someone who couldn't control his eyes, so it was very difficult. For a moment, he even suspected that the reason why the Fang family let Fang Geyin inherit the position of patriarch was to tie him to the clan and save him from going out to do business. Just die everywhere.
Fang Geyin pouted, pulled A'er's hand off, and said speechlessly:
"The person here is an acquaintance. I've seen it before, and it won't make me vomit blood if I read it again."
A'er responded with silence. Anyway, his mission in coming to the Yuan family was to control Fang Geyin, so that the head of the Fang family who had just joined the ghost market would die of vomiting blood. Those who didn't know it thought the ghost market was mistreating those who surrendered.
At this time, masters who had reached the celestial realm felt the powerful sword intent that seemed to be able to split the heaven and earth.
"Who will pick up this guest?" Qin Fan said the last two words with a little more force.
The moment the words fell, Feng Mo's figure disappeared. (End of chapter)
