Chapter 570 Threat
As soon as he finished speaking, two figures slowly appeared at the entrance of the canyon.
The two men were dressed in cyan robes, with a snow-white centipede pattern embroidered on their chests, which was the symbol of the Five Poison Sect.
As for the visitors, they were He Zhengsong and Yu Lihong.
At this time, He Zhengsong looked at Lin Tianming and others inside the canyon, with a faint smile on his lips as they walked.
"Haha..."
He Zhengsong seemed to be in a good mood and did not take Lin Tianming, who was also in the middle stage of the Golden Core, at all.
Not only him, but Yu Lihong, who was in the early stage of Jindan, also had a calm expression. While he was smiling, he did not forget to flatter him.
"Senior Brother He, this guy seems to have some strength. He was able to kill the third-level mid-level black demon ape!"
"But, if Senior Brother He takes action, If so, I’m afraid that in just a few rounds, this beast will be easily killed, much faster than that kid.”
Hearing the words of his fellow disciples, He Zhengsong was very helpful at this time, and the smile on his face became much stronger.
At this time, He Zhengsong looked at Lin Tianming and others in front of him, wondering what kind of person the person who dared to bid tit-for-tat with him at the auction house would be.
Even when they were following them, he had made many guesses, guessing that Lin Tianming was a member of a golden elixir force in the Golden Crow Kingdom, or a monk from several surrounding countries, or a traveling loose man. Cultivation of the strong.
With this mentality in mind, He Zhengsong braced himself, kept alert, and looked at Lin Tianming in front of him.
Following He Zhengsong's line of sight, Lin Tianming looked a little pale. Although he looked calm overall, the breath and frequency of his breathing seemed to be somewhat disordered.
Lin Tianming's reaction seemed to be because he had consumed too much mana when he was fighting the Black Demon Ape just now.
Seeing this situation, He Zhengsong breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. The initial fear that he had had completely disappeared.
In his eyes, Lin Tianming, like him, is at the middle stage of Jindan cultivation.
But they followed all the way here just now and happened to catch up with Lin Tianming's battle against the Black Demon Ape.
At that time, the two of them had been hiding in the dark and observing.
Judging from the fluctuations in the fighting at that time, Lin Tianming's strength was quite average among the monks in the middle stage of the Golden Core, but he was not that outstanding.
The reason why Lin Tianming was able to kill this powerful black demon ape was probably with the help of some treasure or the support of other companions, so that he could kill this third-level monster.
For this reason, although Lin Tianming killed the black demon ape as he wished, it must have taken a lot of effort, and he even suffered serious internal injuries.
Although Lin Tianming looked calm now, he was probably pretending to be calm.
It is very possible to even say that it is the end of the war.
However, He Zhengsong did not know the entire process of Lin Tianming's killing of the Black Demon Ape.
At that time, they had just arrived at the fighting place. Judging from the fluctuations from the last two rounds of attacks, they did not feel how powerful Lin Tianming was.
But what they didn't know was that Lin Tianming was fighting with the Black Demon Ape, but he didn't actually go all out.
At the very least, Lin Tianming only used the two magical powers of the Earthly Sword Formation and the Nine Swords of Tiangang, plus the Blue Heart True Flame, the truly powerful magical powers and even spiritual skills, but he never used them. .
In addition, Lin Tianming has always dominated the overwhelming number of monks in the fight with the Black Demon Ape. It is not an exaggeration to say that he has an absolute advantage.
Until the end of the battle, Lin Tianming was almost uninjured, and only more than half of his mana was consumed, and his strength had hardly declined.
Under such circumstances, Lin Tianming was still strong at this time.
It’s just that He Zhengsong was overconfident and mistakenly thought that Lin Tianming’s strength had declined too much.
And he himself was in his prime, and with the help of Yu Lihong in the early stage of Jindan, killing Lin Tianming was almost easy.
When he thought of this, He Zhengsong looked happy, and his whole state was quite relaxed.
At this time, Lin Tianming's expression remained as usual, he cupped his hands while staring at He Zhengsong, and then said something.
"Fellow Daoist He, I wonder what the important thing is for you to follow me here?"
Lin Tianming's tone was calm, and he did not directly mention the bidding at the auction house, and did not want to cause more trouble.
In his eyes, if He Zhengsong left just like that, he would not stop him.
After all, the Lin family has always kept a low profile, and they do not want to cause unnecessary trouble in this strange place.
In this case, it is best to avoid it if there is no conflict.
At this time, He Zhengsong said arrogantly: "Did Taoist friend forget something?"
"Oh?"
Lin Tianming pretended not to know. , showing a puzzled look.
Seeing this, He Zhengsong suddenly sneered, and then said slowly.
"Fellow Taoist openly went against this Taoist at the auction. Isn't it too disrespectful to me?"
Hearing this, Lin Tianming's face suddenly turned cold and he couldn't help but sarcastically said: "Fellow Taoist, these words are too disrespectful to me?" Isn’t that ridiculous?”
“Since ancient times, the rule of the auction in the world of immortality is that the one with the highest price gets it. What I said, fellow Taoist, is a joke in my opinion.”
Lin Tianming started to sneer directly, without even a trace of sarcasm. He Zhengsong was not given any face.
When He Zhengsong heard this, his face suddenly became angry, including Yu Lihong beside him, who also looked gloomy at this time.
In such a situation, if He Zhengsong hadn't taken action yet, Yu Lihong would have been the first to take action.
However, He Zhengsong didn't take any action, so Yu Lihong naturally wouldn't steal his limelight.
So, as soon as Lin Tianming finished speaking, Yu Lihong threatened him directly: "Boy, if you are sensible, just hand over the storage bag obediently. Maybe we two brothers can still Give you a break.”
“Otherwise, don’t blame me. You're welcome!"
As soon as he finished speaking, He Zhengsong took over and said with a smile: "Haha... just a storage bag is not enough, the Heyuan fruit tree in the canyon, And the body of this black demon ape must belong to us.”
"If that's the case, I can forget about the past."
He Zhengsong said these words with a smile, an evil smile flashed on his face, as if he didn't take Lin Tianming seriously.
When Yu Lihong heard this, his face became even more excited.
For a while, Yu Lihong looked carefully at the depths of the canyon and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Heyuan fruit tree?"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk... there are actually mature Heyuan fruits. , no wonder you guys go straight here.”
It turned out that he didn't know the specific plan of Lin Tianming and others, let alone what the treasure inside the canyon was.
Now, it is naturally an unexpected surprise to hear He Zhengsong say that there are Heyuan fruit trees and Heyuan fruit.
But when Lin Tianming heard these words, he couldn't help but sigh. When he looked at He Zhengsong and He Zhengsong again, he couldn't help but smile contemptuously.
Obviously, Lin Tianming felt that these two people were too confident.
After all, so far, I don’t know his specific strength, so I just think that the treasure of this place is in my pocket.
In addition, they were so confident that they did not take Lin Tianming seriously, as if they thought they could easily control them. In his opinion, such words and deeds are simply a big joke.
Because of this, Lin Tianming looked at the two He Zhengsong in front of him and couldn't help but sneer again and again.
Just when he was about to speak, Tang Xiuping took a big step forward and bowed his hands towards He Zhengsong and the other two.
“This junior is Tang Xiuping, the director of Tianlong Pavilion in Duanqingfang City. He is a member of the Tang family’s Xiuzi generation and has met the two seniors first.”
After saying this, Tang Xiuping bowed to He Zhengsong and the two, and then continued: "The two seniors happened to appear here, and it must be unintentional."
"And the juniors are here, It also specializes in collecting Heyuan fruit trees and Heyuan fruits.”
“Since the senior just happened to catch up, the junior, as the initiator of this operation, made the decision abruptly and picked out a Heyuan fruit among the many treasures. If I hand it over to Senior He and provide him with millions of high-grade spirit stones, it can be regarded as a meeting gift to resolve the grievances of several seniors. "As for the future, how about we turn our hostility into friendship and take the opportunity to make friends?"
After Tang Xiuping said this, he stared directly at He Zhengsong and looked at them with a serious face, fearing that they would suddenly take action and make the situation more complicated.
And he directly mentioned his origin, obviously intending to persuade He Zhengsong not to get involved at this time.
On the other hand, He Zhengsong couldn't help but froze when he heard Tang Xiuping's words.
"Tang Xiuping?"
"Qingzhou Tang Family?"
Hearing Tang Xiuping's words, the smile on He Zhengsong's face quickly calmed down, and then a trace of embarrassment flashed across his face. look.
Not only him, but also Yu Lihong on the side suddenly changed his expression when he heard Tang Xiuping's words. He was obviously shocked by Tang Xiuping's identity.
After all, Tang Xiuping came from a Nascent Soul-level force and was still a giant force in Qingzhou.
In addition, the sphere of influence of the Tang family in Qingzhou has basically spread to most countries in Qingzhou. There are Tang family members in almost every medium and large city.
It can be said that the Tang family is a giant force in Qingzhou. Both in terms of sphere of influence and reputation, it has huge influence in Qingzhou.
With such a profound background, even a Foundation-Building Dzogchen cultivator can be on equal terms with some powerful people in the Golden Core stage of ordinary Golden Core forces.
Therefore, although He Zhengsong himself is powerful, the Five Poison Sect he was born in is also one of the top three in the Golden Crow Kingdom.
But facing Tang Xiuping's special status, he had to be cautious.
As a result, He Zhengsong was silent for a moment, hesitating in his heart.
On the other side, Yu Lihong also looked complicated at this time, and he was hesitating in his heart.
At this moment, He Zhengsong on the side secretly sent a message to Yu Lihong, discussing countermeasures.
Soon, He Zhengsong and the two seemed to have made up their minds.
At this time, He Zhengsong smiled calmly and said: "Fellow Taoist Tang's suggestion is too polite!"
"In my opinion, Taoist Taoist Tang might as well stay out of the matter. The Taoist Taoist in front of me promised to be with Mr. Tang treasure, old man How about leaving it to you as well?"
"There is just one thing, fellow Taoist Tang, don't interfere with our grudges. This person's life and death has nothing to do with you."
After saying this, He Zhengsong looked at Tang Xiuping, waiting for his decision.
"Ah this?...This?...This?"
When Tang Xiuping heard this sentence, his face looked a little ugly for a while, and his words were incoherent.
In his heart, He Zhengsong's actions obviously did not dare to offend the Tang family head-on, so he promised to let him go and promised that Tang Xiuping's benefits would not be reduced at all.
But the grudge between He Zhengsong and Lin Tianming was obviously not going to be resolved by the Heyuan Fruit and one million low-grade spiritual stones he took out.
Understanding this, Tang Xiuping became even more entangled.
After all, judging from the current results, a big battle between Lin Tianming and He Zhengsong is unavoidable.
What's more important is that Tang Xiuping has seen Lin Tianming's strength. The entire process of killing the Black Demon Ape can be said to be an understatement, with almost no effort being exerted.
And he had a hunch in his heart that Lin Tianming was very powerful, and his only remaining strength was still very strong.
Despite He Zhengsong’s strength and reputation in the world of immortal cultivation in the Golden Crow Kingdom, it is not an exaggeration to say that everyone knows about it.
But if a war breaks out between them, it’s hard to say who will win the final victory.
In this way, if he agrees with He Zhengsong's opinion, he will be breaking his promise and breaking his promise.
Such things have a great impact on his Taoist heart. Even if he uses a Heyuan Fruit to attack the Golden Core Stage, the resistance to success will definitely be huge.
In this way, from Dao Xin's point of view, he still hopes to stand on Lin Tianming's side and advance and retreat together with the two of them.
But if he showed that he was on Lin Tianming's side, he was not sure whether He Zhengsong would be able to settle the score later if he won the final victory.
In other words, if he agrees to He Zhengsong's suggestion to quit, and Lin Tianming wins the final victory, he will probably hate a person who goes back on his word even more.
If he really gets to this point, even if his identity and background are very special, I'm afraid he will be in a very difficult situation.
When thinking of these points, Tang Xiuping became even more entangled in his heart.
After a long time, Tang Xiuping struggled for a while and finally made a decision.
At this time, Tang Xiuping moved towards where Lin Tianming was, then he cupped his hands towards He Zhengsong and said something.
"Senior He, this junior and this senior have made an agreement for a long time. Now that the Black Demon Ape has been killed, the Heyuan Fruit is already in the bag."
"The younger generation comes from the Tang family. The ancestral precepts have always taught the children of the Tang family to be trustworthy people when walking in the world of immortality." family reputation, give The family is in disgrace.”
“In this case, please forgive me, senior.”
Tang Xiuping’s tone was sincere, his face calm, and his words were reasonable and well-founded. It was as if he had made up his mind early.
The moment this sentence ended, the expressions of He Zhengsong and Yu Lihong changed.
At that moment, the expressions of He Zhengsong and He Zhengsong changed very quickly from the original smiling expressions to a gloomy and angry expression.
