Chapter 134
The black Red Dragon Sword was now red and emitting green smoke, and the bloody lines on it seemed to be moving on the blade.
The silver frost-colored Aohan Sword condensed a piece of ice, exuding bursts of cold air, and instantly froze the surrounding ground.
Yan Long pulled off the mask on his face and rushed to Xiao Zhan's side with staggering steps.
He tried to inject true energy into Xiao Zhan and protect Xiao Zhan's heart.
But as soon as his hand touched Xiao Zhan, he felt a hot breath rushing into his body. Before he could react, an extreme coldness hit him, covering his whole body with a layer of frost.
Yan Long quickly retreated and sat cross-legged in the rubble, mobilizing his true energy to eliminate the two powerful forces in his body.
What's surprising is:
Xiao Zhan used his secret technique, and his potential exploded instantly. Once again, his body could not withstand the violent real energy, and his flesh, flesh, and meridians were severely damaged.
But under the cold energy released by the Aohan Sword, his injuries actually improved rapidly.
Two hours later.
Xiao Zhan slowly opened his eyes.
He sat up from the gravel and put away the Red Dragon Sword and Aoshuang Sword with his backhand.
Yan Long also exhaled a breath and stood up slowly.
"Xiao Zhan, how do you feel?"
Xiao Zhan smiled and shook his head:
"I still overestimated myself."
"Now I only have the strength of the early stage of the Qi Sea Realm. Even if I use secret techniques, my combat effectiveness can only barely reach the peak of the Yuan Dan Realm. Facing Wu Qishan in the early stage of the Dan Lake Realm, I am still far behind."
Xiao Zhan told the truth.
If Yan Long hadn't fought to the death just now, Xiao Zhan would never have been able to control Wu Qishan.
Yan Long looked at Xiao Zhan with admiration in his eyes, but the next moment his expression turned solemn:
"Qi Sea Realm, Yuan Dan Realm, Dan Lake Realm, Dan Sea Realm..."
"We are already in such a mess before the real strong one appears."
Feeling Yan Long's disappointed mood, Xiao Zhan said in a deep voice:
"Third Elder, we are looking for a glimmer of hope in despair, so how can we be afraid of the bumpy road ahead?"
Yan Long nodded and said firmly:
"I will return to Qingzhou immediately. If there is any important information, I will come back and inform you as soon as possible."
With that said, Yan Long took out a road map and handed it to Xiao Zhan:
"This is the navigation route map mastered by Qingtian Sect. With this map, I will find a way to get you a sea-crossing boat so that you can reach Qingzhou."
"We will keep in touch."
Xiao Zhan nodded, put away the route map and said in a deep voice: "Zhao Kuo and his crew's sea-crossing boat was hidden by me. The third elder no longer has to take risks for this matter."
Mentioning Zhao Kuo, Yan Long frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly said:
"Now it's not just Zhao Kuo's business. Wu Qiming is a close confidant of the ninth elder of Qingtian Sect. Although he is not a very important person, it will definitely lead to investigation."
"For the current plan, it is best to divert the disaster to the east and temporarily divert the Qingtian Sect's attention from Huangzhou, so that we can have more time to improve our strength."
Xiao Zhan nodded, "I think so too, but I don't know the situation outside Huangzhou, so I would like to ask the third elder to clarify my doubts."
Yan Long thought for a moment, and a flash of determination flashed across his old face:
"The whole big thing needs to be sorted out!"
"The cause of the matter was that Li Yu from the Sword Sect spread the news, which caused us to be targeted by the Qingtian Sect."
"The Mingjian Sect and the Qingtian Sect are both the top forces in Qingzhou, and their relationship has always been at odds. In my opinion, this matter must be blamed on the Mingjian Sect."
Xiao Zhan's eyes turned cold:
"Li Yu didn't grab the golden beard grass from Fang Yu, so he spread rumors that Fang Yu and the survivors of Huangzhou teamed up to persecute him."
"In order to prove their innocence, Qingtian Sect sent people to Huangzhou, but they found that there were no survivors of Huangzhou at all."
"And Li Yu had already led his men to set up an ambush in Huangzhou. He first killed Zhao Kuo and his party, and then killed Wu Qishan!"
Yan Long thought about this reason and said in a deep voice: "But when Fang Qunfeng and the others went back, they said they had killed more than 10,000 Huangzhou survivors. The Qingtian Sect would not be fooled so easily."
Xiao Zhan suddenly laughed: "There are no survivors of the Huangzhou. They are just a garrison secretly established by the Famous Sword Sect in the Huangzhou. The Famous Sword Sect has long wanted to take the Huangzhou as its own."
"Senior Fang Qunfeng and Fang Yu didn't know about it and thought they were killing the survivors of Huangzhou."
Yan Long's eyes lit up, "It is precisely for this reason that the Mingjian Sect was angry and dared not speak out, so they used the excuse of the survivors of the Huangzhou to trick the people of the Qingtian Sect into coming to the Huangzhou, and then took the opportunity to kill people for revenge!"
Xiao Zhan nodded and continued: "But neither the Qingtian Sect nor the Mingjian Sect will easily believe this statement. They will definitely send people to investigate together."
Yan Long frowned:
"Indeed, the more powerful a force is, the less likely it is to act impulsively."
Xiao Zhan thought for a moment and said in a deep voice:
"But what if this news was revealed by Li Yu himself?"
"In addition, when the Qingtian Sect and the Famous Sword Sect sent people to investigate, Third Elder, you pretended to be Wu Qishan and said that you were assassinated by a master of the Famous Sword Sect. Doesn't this confirm the conspiracy of the Famous Sword Sect?"
Yan Long thought about the whole process again, nodded and said: "It's feasible. Disguise is an ancient technology of our Yanlong Kingdom. At least in Qingzhou, I haven't heard of any force that knows Disguise. I believe no one will see through me." of."
The two discussed some more details. After a while, Yan Long and Xiao Zhan parted ways and returned to the seaside as quickly as possible.
Xiao Zhan also truly realized his lack of strength during this battle, and began to retreat after returning to Yanlong City.
A large number of true essence stones were consumed, and the true essence in Xiao Zhan's body became stronger and stronger. The meridians throughout his body were continuously strengthened, and his strength was qualitatively improved.
At the same time, Yan Long also returned to Qingzhou.
He was wearing a mask and looked like a middle-aged man.
He walked into the office where Qingtian Sect manages sea-crossing ships, and then entered the secret room.
After a while, the middle-aged man left, and Yan Long returned to his true self.
This middle-aged man is called Yan Kuan. He was rescued by Yan Long when he was a young man twenty years ago. Yan Long regards him as his biological son, and he also regards Yan Long as his biological father.
After Yan Kuan left, he took the Black Wind Eagle to the central area of Qingzhou and arrived at a city called Wanjian City.
That's right, the city lord of Wanjian City is an elder of the Famous Sword Sect.
The purpose of Wanjian City is to handle mundane affairs on behalf of Jianzong.
This place is less than a thousand miles away from the Famous Sword Sect. On weekdays, the disciples of the Famous Sword Sect will come to Wanjian City whether they are out training or passing by.
In a magnificent restaurant.
Li Yuzheng was drinking with several famous Jianzong disciples.
His face was as gloomy as water, he picked up the wine bowl and drank it all in one gulp.
A junior brother nearby quickly picked up the wine jar and poured wine for Li Yu, and at the same time smiled:
"Senior Brother Li Yu is really a good trick. With just one sentence, the entire Qingtian Sect fell into crisis."
Li Yu snorted coldly: "I have been chasing Fang Yu for more than two years, but in the end I suffered a loss in Huangzhou. If this revenge is not avenged, there will always be a thorn in my heart!"
"I just didn't expect Fang Yu to stay in Qingtian Sect, otherwise I would have led people to hunt him down."
A junior brother smiled and said:
"Although Fang Yu is one of the genius disciples of Qingtian Sect, he is far behind Senior Brother Li Yu."
"I think the Qingtian Sect is also the top force in Qingzhou, but it was fooled by Senior Brother Li Yu's words."
"How can there be remnants of the Wasteland State in that barren place? However, the people of the Qingtian Sect claimed that they had killed more than 10,000 remnants of the Wasteland State. They are really shameless. Open your eyes. Talking nonsense."
Li Yu frowned. He thought of Xiao Zhan's appearance and snorted coldly:
"What if they really killed more than 10,000 remnants of the deserted state?"
Several junior brothers were stunned for a moment.
"No way, Senior Brother Li Yu, are there really any remnants in Huangzhou?"
Li Yu shook his head, "I don't know, but just because I don't know doesn't mean I don't have it."
"Okay, that's it for today," Li Yu threw the wine bowl on the table and stood up without interest, "Don't follow me, I have something to do."
After speaking, Li Yu turned and left.
Several junior brothers did not intend to leave just now. When Li Yu was no longer visible, one of them said with envy on his face:
"Senior Brother Li Yu, this is called life. After drinking, you go to find your sweetheart and live like a god."
A disciple next to him quickly reminded him: "Senior Brother Li Yu is petty, so we don't dare to say such nonsense."
"Besides, don't think about Senior Brother Li Yu's father and grandfather. They are both elders of our famous Sword Sect. How can we compare with Senior Brother Li Yu?"
"Come on, let's just drink wine."
While talking, a figure walked into the restaurant again and came to several people.
"Senior Brother Li Yu, why are you back again?"
'Li Yu' sat down at the table, picked up the wine jar and took a sip, expressionlessly saying:
"I have something I want to leave to you."
Several disciples immediately became energetic and said, "Senior Brother Li Yu, just ask, we will definitely handle it!"
'Li Yu' nodded and said in a deep voice:
"I also trust you and value you, so I entrust you with this task. Therefore, you must keep it a secret and don't tell anyone!"
Several disciples immediately clapped their chests, "Senior Brother Li Yu, you should know that we are very strict with our mouths."
'Li Yu' picked up the wine bowl and touched it with a few people, and then said slowly:
"You guys go around the Qingtian Sect for me to get some news and see if Elder Wu Qishan of the Qingtian Sect has returned."
Several junior brothers looked puzzled, "Senior Brother Li Yu, why are you concerned about Wu Qishan's news?"
"Besides, the people of Qingtian Sect have always been at odds with us. Why don't they beat us half to death when they see us?"
Li Yu frowned:
"Since I choose to believe you, I will tell you the truth."
"You guessed it right, there are no remnants of the Huangzhou at all! The more than 10,000 people killed by the Qingtian Sect were actually arranged by our famous Sword Sect in the Huangzhou for the purpose of secretly occupying the Huangzhou."
A disciple suddenly used his imagination and said in horror:
"So, Qingtian Sect killed more than 10,000 of us?"
Li Yu's face was full of murderous intent, "That's right! It's just that this matter cannot be known to other forces, so I used the excuse of being a remnant of the Huangzhou to cover it up."
A junior fellow apprentice slammed the table: "We must avenge this!"
"That's right," Li Yu nodded again, "Our masters from the Sword Sect have gone to Huangzhou a long time ago, and some time ago they killed Zhao Kuo, the godson of Qingtian Sect elder Wu Qishan, and a hundred Qingtian Sect disciples. "
"This is not enough! We must kill at least ten thousand of them!" A half-drunk disciple roared: "Kill them all!"
Li Yu nodded again, "Wu Qishan also went to Huangzhou this time. If he didn't come back, he would probably die at the hands of the masters arranged by our famous sword sect in Huangzhou."
After knowing the truth, several junior brothers nodded instantly:
"Senior Brother Li Yu, don't worry, we will set off immediately to inquire about the news near Qingtian Sect."
Li Yu picked up the wine bowl again, touched it with a few people, and warned again:
"This plan is a secret plan of our Famous Sword Sect. Only a very few people know about it. If you succeed, you will definitely receive strong training from the sect."
"But the premise is that you must not reveal this news to anyone!"
With that said, Li Yu stood up and prepared to leave, and said again:
"Remember, don't tell anyone!"
After saying that, Li Yu opened the door and walked out of the room.
Several disciples had just drank several bowls of strong liquor and were now in an extremely excited state.
They walked out of the restaurant arm-in-arm, pulled out their swords unsteadily, and shouted:
"Kill, kill all the people of Qingtian Sect!"
