…
Standing in front of the hall, after the two exchanged greetings for a few words, Wang Lixing led Han Daoran towards the hall with a smile on his face.
But before he took two steps, Wang Lixing couldn't help but was suddenly startled, then looked at Han Daoran with an apologetic look and said something.
"Fellow Daoist Han, I have some minor matters that need to be dealt with. Please wait for a moment, Friend Daoist."
After saying this, he immediately ordered Wang Lequan beside him:
"Enter well, Fellow Daoist Han."
"Yes, uncle." Wang Lequan nodded immediately.
In this regard, Han Daoran naturally didn't say much, smiled and nodded in response, and then walked inside under the leadership of Wang Lequan.
…
Wang Lixing said goodbye to Han Daoran and walked out quickly. As soon as he arrived outside the hall and courtyard, several figures appeared not far away.
It was Wang Mingxuan who had just gone to deliver the message, and the two casual cultivators who were traveling with him, Fang Dehou and Zhang Yingxian.
On the other side, the three people who were walking towards him also noticed Wang Lixing. They quickly quickened their pace, taking three steps and two steps at a time, and arrived in front of Wang Lixing in the blink of an eye.
Seeing this, Wang Lixing was full of joy. Facing Fang Dehou and Zhang Yingxian, he first nodded and greeted Fang Dehou and Zhang Yingxian:
"Two Taoist friends, we have been apart for more than half a month. Are you okay after seeing each other?"
As soon as these words came out, Fang Dehou and Zhang Yingxian couldn't help but smile bitterly. After bowing their hands to Wang Lixing in greeting, Fang Dehou spoke first:
"Fellow Daoist Wang, are you kidding? The two of us have been miserable during this time!"
As soon as Fang Dehou finished speaking, Zhang Yingxian, an old man with a somewhat sinister appearance, poured out his bitter words to Wang Lixing:
"It's more than unspeakable suffering. You don't know, Fellow Daoist Wang, that since our last separation, the two of us came here according to your instructions, Fellow Daoist, without saying a word."
"We don't dare to delay at all along the way. Fellow Taoist, you also know that when we parted ways, the two of us only had ten middle-grade spiritual stones in total."
As soon as these words came out, Fang Dehou beside him seemed to be thinking of some tragic experience, with a look of despair on his face.
On the other side, Zhang Yingxian continued to talk eloquently.
"After passing through the Forbidden Spirit Sea, these ten middle-grade spiritual stones are already less than three."
"The two of us will not dare to use spiritual stones to restore our mana when we are on our way. We are afraid that we will be penniless and not even be able to enter the city."
"But no matter how much we save, after arriving here, the two of us will have less than one middle-grade spiritual stone in our possessions."
"When we got here, we thought we didn't have to worry at all, so we immediately found the nobles, but..." At this point, Zhang Yingxian's face couldn't help but be filled with indignation, "The nobles actually thought that we were liars! They didn't even let us know. !”
"The two of us have no choice but to find an inn to stay in. Who would have thought that our stay would last nearly half a month!"
"Fellow Taoist, you have to know that even if you have a low-grade room in the inn, you still need two low-grade spiritual stones per day! If you don't show up, fellow Taoist, I'm afraid we, the two noble late-stage foundation-building monks, will have to live on the streets!"
After finishing speaking in one breath, Zhang Yingxian's eyes were already hazy... a sign of tears.
Wang Lixing listened patiently to the two people's bitterness throughout the whole process.
Until Zhang Yingxian finished speaking, he couldn't help but frown, and then glanced at Wang Mingxuan, his eyes full of questioning.
When the latter saw the gaze from his ancestor, his face was full of bitterness, and he lowered his head and did not dare to speak. He did not expect that things would eventually develop like this.
Looking at Wang Mingxuan's expression, Wang Lixing still didn't understand, so he said guiltily.
"I have humiliated these two fellow Taoists. I will apologize to these two fellow Taoists." After saying this, he bowed to Fang Dehou and the other two.
Seeing this scene, although Fang Dehou and Zhang Yingxian enjoyed the moment extremely, they did not dare to ask Wang Lixing to apologize, so they quickly stepped forward to stop him:
"Fellow Taoist, you can't do it, you can't do it."
"Yes, yes, fellow Taoist, please don't do this!"
The biggest purpose of the two pouring out their bitterness was to hope that Wang Lixing would understand that although they were indeed prisoners of the Wang family, as late-stage foundation-building monks, they still had to have basic courtesy.
Wang Lixing didn't understand this, so he looked extremely guilty. After all, the two of them had to do things next, and they still had to do superficial work.
However, after being stopped by Fang Dehou and the others, Wang Lixing took advantage of the situation and gave up.
Then with a straight face, he scolded Wang Mingxuan in a cold voice:
"Hmph, I'll go get the family law later!"
After hearing this, Wang Mingxuan could only answer in a low voice:
"Yes, ancestor."
"snort!"
After saying this, he looked at Fang Dehou and the other two, and said with apologetic tone:
"Two fellow Taoists, I'm really sorry. I just disciplined you and kept silent. Please don't take it seriously. This kind of situation will definitely not happen again in the future!"
"Hey, the two of us will naturally not take these words of Fellow Daoist Wang seriously. If anything happens in the future, just say hello, and it will be our duty to go up mountains of swords and seas of fire!"
Zhang Yingxian expressed his loyalty casually and seriously.
In response, a brilliant smile appeared on Wang Lixing's face.
Afterwards, after a few more pleasantries, Wang Lixing said to the two of them with a smile on his face:
"Two fellow Taoists, I have some things that need to be dealt with later. I would also like to ask you two fellow Taoists to accompany my incompetent junior and sit down for a while. I will come back as soon as I can." After saying that, he apologized to the two of them. eyes.
"It's okay, it's okay, fellow Taoist, go on your own," Zhang Yingxian responded.
In response, Wang Lixing nodded with a smile, and then ordered to Wang Mingxuan who bowed his head and said nothing:
"It's a pleasure to entertain two fellow Taoists!"
"Yes, ancestor!"
…
After dealing with the two casual cultivators, Wang Lixing walked non-stop towards the hall. He still attached great importance to Han Daoran's arrival.
…
"Haha, I kept you Daoist Han waiting for a long time!"
Before anyone arrived, Wang Lixing's hearty laughter came. To this, Han Daoran responded nonchalantly:
"Fellow Daoist Wang, there is no need to say anything more between you and me."
After the words fell, Wang Lixing appeared in the hall. He did not go to the first place, but came directly to Han Daoran and sat down without any pretense.
After sitting down, the two chatted for a while, and then Han Daoran said with a serious face:
"Fellow Daoist Wang, given the current situation between you and me, we don't have much time, so I won't stop talking nonsense." After speaking, he looked at Wang Lequan who was silent on the side.
After hearing this, Wang Lixing put away his smile and winked at Wang Lequan. The latter bowed his hands in understanding and then retreated.
tomato
After Wang Lequan left, Wang Lixing responded with the same serious expression:
"That's natural. Fellow Taoist, if you have anything to say, it doesn't matter."
Hearing this, Han Daoran nodded and immediately said:
"I am here because of the alliance mentioned by fellow Taoist."
Hearing this, Wang Lixing nodded without surprise.
"I understand the purpose of your visit, fellow Taoist. I wonder what you think of this matter?"
After hearing this, Han Daoran immediately said seriously:
"I have no objection to this matter, but I wonder if Fellow Daoist Han has thought about it?"
"oh?"
"What's the matter? Fellow Taoist, please speak frankly." Wang Lixing asked slightly confused after hearing this.
"What else can be done, naturally how to face Huang Zhongliang."
After saying this, Han Daoran continued to speak with a slight solemnity:
"Fellow Daoist Wang, you also know the current situation between you and me. It is not an exaggeration to say that our situation is precarious, without the shock of the two of us."
"As for the younger generation of you and me, no one can control Huang Zhongliang!"
"Not only that, Huang Zhongliang also obtained nearly 100,000 spiritual stones last time in the great formation. With these spiritual stones, if he does not use them to improve the strength of his descendants, but uses them on himself, whether it is to purchase spiritual weapons or The strength of the elixir that can break through the cultivation level may be slightly inferior to that of the foundation building, but it is definitely not something that can be dealt with by ordinary foundation building in the later stage!"
Just because of thinking of this, after seeing the jade slips left by Wang Lixing, Han Daoran couldn't sit still the more he thought about it.
So while there was still time, I came to the door in person to discuss with Wang Lixing and wanted to know how Wang Lixing arranged it.
Hearing this, Wang Lixing couldn't help but sigh in silence.
Indeed, Han Daoran was right. What he originally thought was that with Wang Lequan's cultivation at the peak of the mid-stage foundation establishment, plus another mid-stage foundation establishment monk of the Han family, with the two of them joining forces, even if Huang Zhongliang had no choice but to Resistible.
However, after being reminded by Han Daoran, Wang Lixing came back to his senses. If the situation mentioned by Han Daoran really happened, no one in the Wang and Han families could resist.
After a while, Wang Lixing, who thought for a moment, said:
"According to what fellow Taoist said, it is true that no one in our family can cure Huang Zhongliang."
"But there is one thing that Fellow Daoist Han may not have thought of."
"Oh?" Upon hearing this, fellow Taoist Han couldn't help but look puzzled, and then said:
"What does Fellow Daoist Wang mean?"
"First of all, Taoist friends should understand that although our souls are seriously injured now, we are not just dead!" Wang Lixing said with some meaning.
Hearing this, Han Daoran didn't react for a while, but became even more confused.
"What does this mean, fellow Taoist?"
When Wang Lixing heard this, he couldn't help but chuckle, and then said with a wise look: "Don't you know what kind of temper Huang Zhongliang has, fellow Taoist?"
"It would be unfair to say that he is as timid as a mouse, but it is not an exaggeration to say that he is cautious!"
"Even if you and I cannot show up in the future, as long as Huang Zhongliang is not sure whether we are alive or dead, he will never take the risk of being exterminated by you and me and have any evil thoughts towards our family. "
As soon as these words came out, fellow Taoist Han couldn't help but a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and then he nodded in agreement.
"Yes, I have neglected this point. With Huang Zhongliang's temperament, it is indeed impossible for him to take such a risk."
"That's right," Wang Lixing nodded with a smile, thought for a moment, and then said pointedly, "later you and I might as well go and meet the Huang clan members who are currently in Fang City."
"Good!" Han Daoran responded with a smile. After saying this, it was finally settled for him.
Just thinking about this experience and his own situation at this time, Han Daoran couldn't help but sigh:
"Although Huang Zhongliang is cautious, I have to say that Huang Zhongliang escaped this time."
Hearing this, Wang Lixing's face couldn't help but darken, but after a moment, his face returned to its original state.
"My fellow Taoist is wrong. The road to cultivating immortality is long and difficult. If you blindly seek stability, you will never go far. For me, Wang Lixing, even if I die this time, I will never regret it!"
Hearing this, Han Daoran couldn't help but take a deep look at Wang Lixing, and then smiled self-deprecatingly.
"In this regard, I am still not as free and easy as fellow Taoist."
Wang Lixing smiled carelessly at these words.
"Fellow Taoist, why should you belittle yourself? That's what I'm saying. If I could come back again, I would probably be like Huang Zhongliang and leave early."
"Hahaha!"
Hearing this, Han Daoran couldn't help but be startled at first, and then he couldn't help laughing.
As for what exactly he is laughing at, outsiders don’t know.
Afterwards, the two discussed for a while, and exchanged in-depth opinions on some specific views on how to unite and how to face Huang.
Finally, after discussing the alliance, the two got up and prepared to go to Fangshi Station to meet the Huang family's foundation-building monks stationed here.
Not only did they show up to Huang Zhongliang, but they also informed Huang about the alliance. As for whether Huang would agree, Wang Lixing and Han Daoran had never worried about this.
Yes, Huang Zhongliang is indeed cautious, but when he really has an advantage, he will never be absent.
However, when the two were about to get up and leave, Wang Lequan walked in with a solemn expression.
After glancing at Han Daoran, he hesitated for a moment, but still did not send a message, but said directly:
"Uncle, there is news from the family that all the monks of the Shen family have disappeared, and their specific whereabouts are unknown!"
"oh!"
"This is serious!"
Hearing this, Wang Lixing couldn't help but confirm with a solemn expression, and Han Daoran's expression on the side also darkened.
"Definitely! Only on the ancestral peak of his ancestral island, no monks of the Shen family have been found within hundreds of miles of the other Shen family forces. Only the ordinary people of the Shen family still live on various islands. "
"And no traces of the war were found, and all the spiritual things and elixirs were taken away without regard for the consequences!"
Wang Lequan answered again without hesitation.
After hearing this, Wang Lixing lost his doubts and pondered for a moment, then nodded solemnly and said:
"It seems that Mrs. Shen sensed something was wrong and escaped in advance!"
Hearing this, Han Daoran nodded in agreement and said in a deep voice:
"Yes, I agree with this," it is obvious that in the nearby sea area, there are only three other families that threaten the Shen family, and the Huang family will never take the initiative to attack the Shen family.
At this point, the situation is clear.
With a slight nod, Wang Lixing then said to Wang Lequan, "I know about this matter. Fellow Daoist Han and I have some things to deal with. We'll talk about it later."
"Yes, uncle," Wang Lequan retreated after hearing the words.
