Before things got bigger, Ling Yao activated his spiritual power and took the initiative to open the door of the hall.
For a moment, everyone outside the door paused and focused their attention.
At a glance, Ling Yao saw the tense postures of Tian Xi and the big guys from Changling Jianmen outside. He curled his lips inwardly, but didn't show it on his face. Instead, he showed a gentle smile:
"What's going on? There are guests coming to the door, so you are so loud?"
Tian Xi turned his head and looked at Ling Yao:
"Sure enough, you are already awake."
The contradictions are pointed out and the feeling of oppression is full.
But facing Tian Xi like this, Ling Yao's attitude seemed too ordinary:
"It seems that you are here to see me? You are a rare visitor. However, by chance, I also have something to say and want to talk to Dean Tian. I believe that Dean Tian is here since he is here, so he should give this junior some face, right?"
Qiu Tianming and others frowned slightly.
Since Ling Yao explained to them what happened half a year ago, Changling Sword Sect has already raised its vigilance against Shenlong Academy - especially Tian Xi himself - to the highest level. The sect master and other Po Kongjing members in the sect may not hate Tian Xi and Shenlong Academy as deeply as he does, but they also understand that Tian Xi definitely has no good intentions when he comes to look for Ling Yao at this time.
Not to mention that Ling Yao is their disciple - oh, he is now the peak master of their Yueyao Peak - as for why this is, we can't tell for the time being. In short, it was really shameful for Tian Xi to touch Ling Yao under their noses.
What's more, the more Tian Xi wants to take action against Ling Yao, the more it proves that Ling Yao has the value of letting him do it himself. Even if it is to hinder and oppose Shenlong Academy, they will do everything possible to keep Ling Yao.
So now, seeing Tian Xi coming to the door in person, the big guys at Changling Jianmen couldn't sit still, and rushed up, trying to give this uninvited, arrogant and domineering guy a wall.
And when they thought about it, Ling Yao, who had been cheated by Tian Xi for half his life, would most likely not want to meet one of the "culprits".
But now that Ling Yao took the initiative to say hello, they naturally had no reason to stop Tian Xi such as "it was inconvenient to meet guests". More importantly, Ling Yao's attitude seemed like he wanted to meet and talk to Shangtian Xi.
Qiu Tianming is not worried that Tian Xi can hurt Ling Yao - right now, the holy spring is Ling Yao's best amulet. Moreover, in full public view, if Tian Xi dares to take the initiative to take action against the earth's veins in the world of Mang Sheng, his nature will be even worse than colluding with demons from outside the territory. Presumably Tian Xi didn't have the guts either.
But...he couldn't think of any reason for Ling Yao to take the initiative to talk to Tian Xi.
On the other side, Tian Xi also didn't understand why Ling Yao's attitude could be so calm.
He showed no annoyance or surprise at his visit. But this was different from the attitude shown by the other party when he revealed his identity and seriously injured Ling Yao by blowing up his clone.
Although Ling Yao at that time was free and easy enough, he could face the powerful power of the True Yuan Realm and remain calm in the face of danger. But this is more due to the young man's impetus that is not afraid of death and refuses to admit defeat.
——Not like now, with the calmness of having everything under control.
If the former attitude can at most make Tian Xi feel a hint of appreciation and pity for the younger generation, then the latter attitude can make him feel uneasy when facing another unfathomable superior. Even a hint of anxiety that things are out of control.
But only half a year has passed since then.
Of course, Tian Xi would not naively think that Ling Yao had undergone a dramatic change in his mentality just because he experienced setbacks. In this world of the jungle and the law of the jungle, strength is the real confidence.
Could it be...
Tian Xi squinted at Ling Yao, looking at the bright light reflected by the mist of the holy spring, and already had several uncertain guesses in his mind.
But one thing is certain, it seems that it is not just the matter in the Ling family's forbidden area that is beyond his control.
"Of course. But..."
Tian Xi deliberately glanced at the group of people at Changling Jianmen again, implying that he did not want these "irrelevant" people to disturb this conversation.
Just when Qiu Tianming was about to have an attack, Ling Yao spoke:
"Since others have requests, our Changling Sword Sect also has its own way of hospitality, so we should not embarrass our guests. Master, as well as all the masters and uncles, I have my own sense of proportion. The holy spring is so majestic that it must be Dean Tian will not dislike it, so don’t worry that I won’t be able to handle it well.”
Ling Yao has already said these words, and others naturally know that Ling Yao is not just motivated by loyalty.
While Lin Ruiyang and others still had doubts, Qiu Tianming sheathed his sword first and put down his hostile and alert posture:
"In that case, I'll leave it to you to handle it yourself. Dean Tian, the master of Yueyao Peak is personally entertaining you this time... Don't say it's our lack of etiquette."
Tian Xi was stunned for a moment, as if he was very surprised by the title "Master of Yueyao Peak" mentioned by Qiu Tianming. But thinking that he would be able to talk to Ling Yao alone soon, this issue was not so urgent.
The moment Tian Xi walked into the hall, the heavy hall door slowly closed.
Boom——
"You are alone now, so you are not afraid that I will suddenly take action against you. It seems that the Holy Spring has given you a lot of confidence. But I don't know if your confidence can support you to protect the entire Changling Sword Sect?"
Tian Xi heard the sound of the door closing and walked quickly to the central altar. Unfortunately, the holy spring where Ling Yao was located was in the center of the altar, and the area covered by the holy spring encompassed the entire altar, preventing him from moving any further. Therefore, he could only stop and look up at Ling Yao who was standing on the high platform.
This positional disadvantage forced him to adopt a more aggressive and intense approach to dialogue.
After all, Ling Yao wanted to "talk" with him, but he didn't come here to "talk".
He needed to find out from Ling Yao the reason for the deviation in his plan, get the other party to compromise to make up for the loopholes that had appeared, and then regain control of the direction of the entire "script".
And this process is bound to not be pleasant.
This is a battle without smoke. He needs to dominate the conversation - either through coercion or inducement - so that the other party has to agree to his terms.
However, facing Tian Xi's straightforward threat, Ling Yao's reaction was much calmer and calmer than he expected:
"Under the holy spring, I am invincible. Naturally, I won't care what Dean Tian wants to do to me. As for the Sword Sect... I am afraid that Dean Tian has gone astray.
"Even if I am the nominal master of Yueyao Peak now, the Changling Sword Sect will not seriously place the responsibility of the peak master on me, who is in this little primitive state. Isn't there a saying that if the sky falls, there will be a tall man? Resist it? If you really want to take action against Changling Sword Sect, that is something that my master, the headmaster, and other uncles and uncles need to consider, but it is not my turn to think about how to keep the Sword Sect."
"It seems that the rumors are true. In order to force Jianmen to support you, to withstand the overwhelming pressure of public opinion, and to continue to seek a way to cure you, your master forcibly passed on the sword seed that symbolizes the master of Yueyao Peak to you. You have inherited the position of Peak Master."
"You don't need to test this point. My master did this because he had this intention in mind. Otherwise, he wouldn't have made this decision temporarily at the expense of his cultivation."
Ling Yao shrugged his shoulders,
"To be honest, I jokingly told Senior Brother that now it was his turn to take over the position of Peak Master. But he told me with a look of gloating that I was now the Peak Master, which made me very angry. light."
He still remembered that when Shigure told him the news, he was so happy that he almost made a face and stuck out his tongue at him - anyway, all their fellow apprentices were salty, and now that the dust has settled when the peak master takes over, Shigure Enjoy your leisure time.
But he also remembered another thing his senior brother said:
"Master, this old man is really a dangerous move, but it is also a wonderful move. When the master uncle arrived, he found that he had transferred the sword type to you. He was so angry that he was so angry that he turned around and ordered the people who were sent out earlier. Chase me back. It is obviously fortunate that the master was decisive enough in taking this risky move. Otherwise, with the master's temperament, he would have pushed you out long ago, just to preserve the reputation of Jianmen.
"Don't forget that Master always tells you to be more cautious at critical moments and not to be hot-headed or impulsive. Who do you think you learned this impulsive temper from? Isn't it just him?"
…
"However, he is quite lucky. Although his cultivation has regressed a lot, his foundation has not been damaged. Therefore, the overall strength of Yueyao Peak is still there. Whether it is inside or outside the Sword Sect, they will not underestimate us. Half a point.”
Ling Yao changed the subject and said,
"But, Dean Tian. You don't have to talk in circles with me. Don't you just want to know why Ling Linhan is clearly a favored one by heaven, but he has never been able to open the forbidden area of the Ling family? The legacy and remains of Patriarch Tianxin in the forbidden area, Is it important to your next arrangements?
"However, of all your plans, only the fact that I survived was unexpected - so you suspect that the condition for the opening of this forbidden land is that I must die. Am I right?"
Looking at Tian Xi's frown, Ling Yao seemed to be in a happier mood:
"Actually, there is no need for you to test it out. For me, this is not something worth avoiding. The Ling family's forbidden area is Ling Xingran... Ah, you probably don't know who it is. In short, he just killed it. The place where the founder of Tianxin sealed the remains of Tianxin.
"Although you have tried to obtain the inheritance of Patriarch Tianxin over the years in order to improve your realm, you have been unable to succeed due to the obstacles of the seal. If it were a seal set by a deceased mortal saint, it would be impossible for you to still be able to control you today thousands of years later. Such strict defense. So you believe that the sealed one still exists in the world and stays in the Ling family.
"But you are not willing to give up. Since he has not destroyed this place, it means that he must have someone to inherit these inheritances. Therefore, you have been staying near the Ling family, hoping to take advantage of it, or pick up something Some bargains - until one day, you suddenly find that the seal is missing a corner, and the Nine Heavens Chongyun Tower that fell out of the seal happened to be captured by Ling Linhan.
"And everything was not stopped by Ling Xingran. Therefore, you concluded that Ling Linhan is the person chosen by Ling Xingran. And by observing everything that happened to Ling Linhan, combined with what Shenlong Academy has been studying over the years about the 'Heavenly Destiny' You quickly made a prediction on the topic of "The One": Ling Linhan is the "Heaven's Favored One" who combines all the favors of Heaven.
"I don't know whether you purely want to please the Heavenly Ones, take advantage of their momentum to gain your own opportunities, and even take Shenlong Academy to a higher level; or whether you have made up your mind from the beginning to wait for the Heavenly Presences to enter the mortal world. The Holy Realm, even when he became a god in one step, directly usurped the fruits of his victory. But this is not important, anyway, the process in the middle is the same.
"You helped him get opportunities, promoted his continuous growth, and even created enemies and helped him eliminate them, subtly making him owe a debt of gratitude to Shenlong Academy. All of this went very smoothly, even for me, it was just part of your plan A 'whetstone' - until he found out about your arrangements for him, even though they were just clues."
That is to say, because Tian Xi had nothing to do with him now, Ling Yao actually shook off all of Tian Xi's old tricks.
To him, he was just following the script of a hidden background plot in the "system"; but to Tian Xi, it was nothing more than a turmoil in his heart.
"Dean Tian, you don't need me to talk anymore, right? You should also know that Ling Linhan is currently in Liuchuan - somewhere in the corner of this hall. If he hears these words, what will he do again? What do you think?"
Ling Yao laughed - this smile seemed a little cautious to Tian Xi,
"You probably understand the current situation now. Your threats and intimidations seem to me to be very boring and even ridiculous.
"Because at the end of the day, the initiative in this conversation is mine."
