Rule out all possibilities.
Could it be.
Did Xiong Zhanmo really fall in love with him? Why do you think so to try to bring them together?
only.
Zhao Yongqi still couldn't convince himself of this conclusion.
"Fellow Daoist Xiong." Zhao Yongqi folded the letter and put it away, looking at Xiong Zhanyang, a Xiong family monk in the late stage of foundation building, who was also known as Uncle Nine in Xiong Wushuang's mouth.
"It's true."
"There is really something we need help from the Xiong family."
While talking.
Zhao Yongqi's mind slowly circled the other party's information.
Xiong Zhanyang.
The same generation as Xiong Zhanmo, the head of the Xiong family, ranking ninth. If Xiong Zhanyang hadn't been obsessed with cultivation and didn't like getting involved in complicated and trivial matters, he would have been a strong candidate for the head of the Xiong family back then.
After Xiong Zhanmo became the clan leader.
Xiong Zhanyang is a veritable "hands-off shopkeeper" who practices in seclusion without any distractions.
Until more than ten years ago.
Shuiyue Valley issued a compulsory recruitment order.
At that time, Xiong Zhanyang's cultivation level was six levels of foundation building, and he was only one step away from entering the late stage of foundation building. However, his cultivation level had not improved for several years, so he quietly thought about it, took the initiative to ask for a job, and was transferred by Shuiyue Valley Zheng.
His fortune is profound.
During the Shuiyue Valley mission, he escaped from death several times and made great contributions.
Follow the requirements of Shuiyue Valley.
The clan only needs to send disciples to obey orders for five years, and then they can get five years of recuperation. Most monks can't wait to return to their sect as soon as the five years are over.
but.
Xiong Zhanyang stayed for eight full years.
Zhao Yongqi guessed.
If the other party hadn't gone into seclusion to break through the realm, he might not be willing to come back!
visible.
Xiong Zhanyang is not only an ascetic monk, but his fighting skills cannot be underestimated.
"I wonder what the important matter is?"
"Clan Chief Zhao said it doesn't matter, the Xiong family will definitely help."
Xiong Zhanyang has a smile on his face, and his tone is slow and powerful, which makes people feel that the words coming out of his mouth must be realized even if all difficulties are overcome.
Ordinary things.
Xiong Zhanyang will not show up at all.
in the past.
Any important matters in the Xiong family are handled personally by Xiong Zhanmo and his people. This time, it was Xiong Zhanyang who came forward, which was unusual.
but.
This is also indirectly proven.
The Xiong family attaches great importance to cross-domain waterways!
"It's true."
Zhao Yongqi said slowly: "During this period, nearly hundreds of disciples from the clans have arrived in the Thousand Layers Domain and even the Immortality Domain, and even more casual cultivators have arrived. The Zhao family is only a ninth-grade family with very little strength. Facing the Such huge immortal cultivators are really beyond their capabilities."
He smiled with a hint of self-deprecation.
"I guess Fellow Taoist Xiong also saw it when he came."
"The huge gathering place on Xiyuan Mountain is a mixed bag of fish and dragons, and there are all kinds of people. If things go on like this, I'm afraid there will be a big mess..."
Xiong Zhanyang listened quietly.
From time to time, he nodded in agreement: "Yes, with so many unstable factors right under your nose, big problems will indeed arise."
The cause is clear.
The paving is complete.
Zhao Yongqi no longer hid it.
Let's get straight to the point: "As the landowners of Wuyuan Valley, the Zhao family naturally refuses to give in to this situation. Therefore, the Zhao family intends to unite many clans in Wuyuan Valley to jointly bring order to the gathering place."
at last.
His tone became slightly more serious.
Tell the true purpose.
"In order to facilitate the exchange of goods among many fellow practitioners, we can build a market based on the gathering place!"
As soon as these words came out.
Even though Xiong Zhanyang had expected it.
His face couldn't help but straighten up, and his eyes became a little more solemn.
Xiong Wushuang even opened her lips slightly.
Very surprised.
The path of spiritual practice.
The wealthy couple is in a legal place.
"Wealth" represents spiritual stones, elixirs, treasures, talismans...
Many foreign objects.
All can be included in "wealth".
And "wealth" ranks first, which shows its importance to spiritual practice.
In addition to ensuring the stability of the Ten Thousand Kingdoms Plain, the Xuantian Sect of the First-Rank Immortal Sect suppresses all the clans and clans. Another very important reason is to use the ninth-grade clan system to harvest the resources of the entire Ten Thousand Nations Cultivation World.
Other clans below.
Naturally, they follow each other and try their best to gather as many cultivation resources as possible for their family.
Xiong Wushuang didn't know much about other places.
However, in the Qianzhong Domain, there are two businesses that are most profitable for "spirit stones". The first is naturally to directly dig the spirit stone mines and collect the most fundamental resources from the source, and the second is to run a market.
However, there are many conditions for the establishment of a city.
Let’s not mention the geographical location for now.
The most important thing is that one's own family must have a certain strength to suppress the immortal cultivators living in Fang City without causing any trouble.
Ninth grade clan.
Naturally, it is far from this strength.
Even the top eight clans can only guarantee the normal operation of a small market.
Xiong Wushuang couldn't think of it.
The Zhao family is only a ninth-grade clan, but Zhao Yongqi actually has such ambitions.
and.
Look at Uncle Jiu’s appearance.
It seems to have been expected.
Xiong Wushuang was a little stunned.
Uncle Jiu personally came to Wuyuan Valley, probably with his father's instructions, just to deal with such things.
Zhao Yongqi didn't finish his words.
There was a pause.
Wait for everyone to digest this information.
Then he continued: "Of course, I am just a matchmaker for the clans. The Zhao family has no extravagant hope of getting involved in the interests of the city."
Having said that.
But when it comes to practice, it will naturally be a different attitude.
Zhao Yongqi understood.
Faced with Xiong Zhanyang, a cultivator who has lived for hundreds of years and experienced dozens of life and death crises, it is useless to talk about so-called emotions, logic, and righteousness...
Only real benefits.
Only then will the other person's heart be moved.
...
as expected.
Xiong Zhanyang, who had always looked calm, finally became interested after hearing about the establishment of the city.
"Creating a city is no small matter and involves the interests of all parties."
"I don't know..."
"Which family has Chief Zhao told about this matter?"
Xiong Zhanyang's trip was precisely to seek for the illusory development opportunities for the Xiong family from the incident on the cross-domain waterway.
He understands.
The Zhao family is the owner of this place.
He will definitely not be willing to sit on the sidelines and will definitely take certain actions.
But I didn’t expect to get here just now.
He was invited to discuss secret matters!
Zhao Yongqi knew Xiong Zhanyang's worries, and chuckled at the moment: "This is the first time I have told the public about this matter. Compared with other clans, Zhao trusts the nobles the most, so he hopes to sign a contract with the Xiong family to advance and retreat together. "
"this......"
Xiong Zhanyang hesitated.
He remembered that when he left Huilan Mountain, Xiong Zhanmo repeatedly told him to have a good relationship with the Zhao family. If the Zhao family encounters any difficulties, he must spare no effort to help.
"This is no small matter."
"I'm afraid I have to discuss it with the clan leader and senior brother before I can give clan leader Zhao an answer."
Think about it for a moment.
Xiong Zhanyang still felt that.
Although the patriarch would most likely agree to this, he couldn't be too eager and still had to strive for the best interests of the Xiong family.
actually.
Even Xiong Zhanyang.
I don’t understand why Xiong Zhanmo is so fond of the Zhao family.
It was nothing more than when the Zhao family was in Weishan.
Although Xiong Zhanmo is keen on collecting information about the Zhao family, he treats it much the same as other clans and does not act too special.
After that foundation building conference.
Only then did Xiong Zhanmo's attitude change.
Not only does he love to bring Xiong Wushuang and Zhao Yongqi together, but he also has a closer attitude towards the Zhao family as a whole. Especially when the Zhao family came to Wuyuan Valley, even though the two were thousands of miles apart, Xiong Zhanmo still wrote letters to Zhao Yongqi every year.
Xiong Zhanyang knew very well the character of his elder brother.
He didn't believe it.
Xiong Zhanmo will do meaningless things.
However, whenever Xiong Zhanyang asked about this matter, Xiong Zhanmo would only smile mysteriously, or at most shake his head and say, "The secret must not be leaked."
That is, Xiong Zhanmo personally begged.
Moreover, Xiong Zhanyang himself was also curious about the Zhao family, or Zhao Yongqi, and wanted to see what kind of magic power the other party had. The "fascinated" Xiong Zhanmo was obsessed with it and kept talking about it every day.
But for these reasons.
He didn't want to.
He came all the way to Wuyuan Valley to do these meaningless things.
Next.
The two discussed the cross-region waterway, the current situation and even the cultivation problems for a long time before Xiong Zhanyang took his leave.
certainly.
No need to return to Silvermine Valley this time.
Accommodation will be arranged within Wuyuan Valley.
"Clan Chief Zhao, the formation of the Five Yuan Palace is quite good. Even the exploration of the Foundation Establishment monks can be blocked."
Just about to say goodbye.
Xiong Zhanyang suddenly said something without starting or ending.
"The cultivation level of our tribe is still low, so we can only rely on some formations and foreign objects to support us." Zhao Yongqi smiled helplessly.
"In that case."
"I'll take my leave soon."
Xiong Zhanyang cupped his fists and saluted.
Zhao Yongqi responded with the same salute, and at the same time said: "Aunt Xue, take Daoist Xiong and Miss Wushuang to the A-size courtyard."
...
Watch the other person leave.
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Yongqi also dismissed a few people accompanying him: "You guys should go back too."
"yes."
As the crowd retreated.
Zhao Yongqi was the only one left here.
Look around.
Except for Zhao Yongqi, there was no human or beast within hundreds of feet around.
but.
In the dark.
Zhao Yongqi could still sense that there were at least two consciousnesses observing this place vaguely.
Just right.
What Xiong Zhanyang said before leaving.
He thought Zhao Yongqi didn't know, so he implicitly reminded Zhao Yongqi.
But I don’t know.
Zhao Yongqi was the most sensitive to Qi. He had already discovered the existence of the peepers long before Xiong Zhanyang, but he just pretended not to know.
"Dadong Mansion, Xuanhuomen, Wuji Hanhai Sect, Taiyishan Huang Family..."
He looked as if nothing had happened.
deep in the heart.
He was silently talking about the several clans living in Wuyuan Valley. If nothing else happened, the immortal cultivators who secretly observed this place were closely related to the monks from those clans.
at this time.
Not counting the Xiong family.
There are nine eighth-grade clans living in Wuyuan Valley, all of which are the top eighth-grade clans in Qianzhong Domain.
These clans come to people.
There are more than thirty monks in the later stage of foundation building, among whom there are many capable and strange people.
They have a way to observe this place from an extremely distant place.
No fuss needed.
Zhao Yongqi didn't plan to do anything.
after all.
He is strong and I am weak.
They were just observing from a distance, and he didn't have any evidence to prove that the other party had any malicious intentions. He didn't even know who was peeping, so he might as well be a confused person and pretend that there was no such thing.
in addition.
Although he couldn't tell where the qi machine came from.
But he has kept it in mind, and he will be able to tell the difference the next time he sees a monk with the same energy.
...
On the way back.
Zhao Yongqi was thinking about another thing.
[Practice hard and seek the Tao, and have a superior mind]
This is the eight-character mantra that he just "captured" from the Xiong Zhanyang Qi machine.
Because the opponent is a late-stage foundation-building monk.
Zhao Yongqi couldn't go too far, so he didn't take the initiative to capture the opponent's Qi. He relied on the unintentional collision of Qi to deduce the opponent's basic characteristics.
Thus.
information obtained.
Naturally, it is not as comprehensive as Xiong Wushuang.
Even so.
He still felt from his energy that Xiong Zhanyang seemed to be extremely curious about him, and the origin of this curiosity was actually because of Xiong Zhanmo!
Zhao Yongqi became more and more puzzled.
Xiong Zhanmo...
What is the reason for looking at him with such admiration!
While thinking.
Unknowingly, he had reached his quiet room, and Zhao Yongqi activated several formations one after another to block all exploration from the outside world.
His gaze swept across the quiet room.
Futon, incense burner, fluorescent stone, everlasting lamp...
Nothing changes.
Including the shadow beast, he was lying quietly in the northeast corner.
during this time.
There were too many monks coming from inside and outside Wuyuan Valley, and they were all people with advanced cultivation. The shadow beast was not in real danger when going out, so it was not allowed to continue to monitor Zhao Chongshan. It was better to stay in the quiet room and be a sounding tube.
Talk.
I have never seen a shadow beast practicing.
But its "body" has more than doubled in size compared to when we first saw it.
"Have you investigated the Xiong family's information clearly?"
Sit cross-legged on a futon.
Zhao Yongqi's eyes fell on the shadow beast and he made a faint questioning sound.
"not yet."
The shadow beast slowly shook his head: "The information on the surface is easy to find, but it will take some time to dig out the deeper secrets."
"Not urgent."
Zhao Yongqi was noncommittal.
Since we want to cooperate with the Xiong family.
Naturally, he wants to know as much information about the Xiong family as possible. Only by knowing himself and the enemy can he be able to win every battle.
Moreover.
Xiong Zhanmo’s strange attitude.
It was really difficult for Zhao Yongqi to understand, and he wanted to dig out Xiong Zhanmo's hidden intentions even more.
He didn't believe it.
Xiong Zhanmo was really just trying to bring Xiong Wushuang and Zhao Yongqi together.
...
Think about it for a moment.
Zhao Yongqi lowered his eyes.
Get ready to start today’s routine practice.
Just when he was about to take out the spirit stone.
Suddenly an idea suddenly appeared in his mind, and his eyes narrowed slightly, falling on the shadow beast again.
"What else do you want?"
He noticed that the shadow beast seemed a little strange. Although it was pitch black and its expression could not be seen, the shadow beast obviously made many more "little movements" than usual. It flicked its tail and scratched its head...
seem.
Looking a little restless.
