Chapter 71 Crisis
Yunshan saw the Black Rock Demonic Snake escaping into the ground and disappearing before his eyes. He could no longer capture it with his senses, so he gave up the idea of taking back the Shadow Stone.
After his Douzong cultivation was sealed, the arrogance and arrogance brought about by breaking through the Douzong and easily defeating his old opponents seemed to be sealed together, slowly fading away and replaced by What is calm and rational. He began to take a serious look at the situation in front of him and the person across from him.
The person in front of me is definitely not from the Soul Palace. The bold oath of cooperation, the high-level martial arts, the high-level fighting skills, and such a young but powerful combat power, all signs indicate that the other party is most likely a person from a powerful force who has a problem with the Soul Palace.
Lin Yuan raised his glass and extended an invitation to Yunshan, "This wine can be considered my favorite, you might as well try it."
As if to eliminate his worries, Lin Yuan added One sentence, "Don't worry, there is no poison in the wine. Since we have reached a cooperative relationship, I will not do such a useless thing to create unnecessary gaps between partners."
After that, Lin Yuan went first. In respect.
Yunshan hesitated for a few seconds, then picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp. It was indeed good wine. He put down the wine glass, and Lin Yuan picked up the wine jug and filled his glass again.
“It’s not the domineering type like the Protector Wu.” Yunshan thought to himself, remembering Lin Yuan’s initial words, and then straightened his expression and asked: “Now that we have reached cooperation, can you tell me what you have said before? What does it mean to say, 'Yunlan Sect is in danger of being destroyed, and Sect Leader Yun is also in danger of life and death'?"
After confirming that Lin Yuan was not an ordinary person, Yunshan began to try to obtain more information from him. . He himself was unfamiliar and fearful of the 'collaborator' Hehundian, but the person in front of him was obviously more familiar with Souldian than he was. This was a good opportunity to get information.
Lin Yuan nodded and said solemnly: "Since we are cooperating, I will tell you these naturally. I hope Sect Master Yun will be more honest. Let me ask first, did you get the help of the Soul Palace to break through the Douzong?"
Yunshan was slightly startled, pondered for a moment, and said calmly: "That's right. They gave me a pill, and it was with the help of that pill that I was able to break through."
"Oh. "The elixir from the Soul Palace?" Lin Yuan raised his eyebrows and said, "Sect Master Yun is brave enough to use the elixir from the Soul Palace."
"What do you mean by that?" Shan frowned and asked.
Lin Yuan explained: "The Soul Palace is notoriously good at manipulating elixirs. The souls of people who receive gifts from the Soul Palace to break through the realm are often manipulated by them and controlled by them. . Some of the secret techniques of the Soul Palace are based on these souls. For example, the Soul Palace's secret technique of Jiu Sen Bai Soul Devouring can forcibly extract and swallow the controlled souls, causing the user's strength to skyrocket in a short period of time."
He paused, looked at Yun Shan seriously and said: "When Master Yun used their elixir to break through, did he ever feel anything strange? Especially at the soul level."
Look Seeing Lin Yuan's serious expression, Yunshan felt slightly depressed and said: "I did feel that something was integrated into my soul at the moment of breakthrough. But after some exploration afterwards, I found nothing strange."
"Oh? If Sect Leader Yun doesn't mind, how about letting me check it out?" Lin Yuan seemed to be aroused and suggested, "The soul is the area that alchemists are good at. My soul perception is at six He is considered an outstanding alchemist, and he may be able to find some clues."
Yunshan pondered for a moment and nodded: "That's fine."
"You're welcome." Lin. Yuan smiled faintly, "I don't want my collaborators to disappear suddenly. Besides, I am really interested in the methods of the Soul Palace."
A quarter of an hour later, Lin Yuan opened his eyes and showed an expression as expected: "Sure enough, there is a spell formed by a strange power deep in your soul. It is deeply hidden, so it is difficult to find it. If it weren't for my soul The perception is relatively outstanding, so it may be difficult to detect it.”
Subsequently, under Lin Yuan’s guidance, Yunshan finally sensed the spell formed by the strange power.
There is a bit of chill in Yunshan's eyes. Is this backhand the reason why the Guardian Wu has always been so contemptuous and arrogant towards himself as a collaborator? His life has always been in his hands.
"Thank you. Is there any way to deal with this?" Yunshan asked in a deep voice.
Lin Yuan thought for a while and said: "This power is too deeply integrated with your soul. It is indeed difficult to resolve it without seriously damaging your soul. It is indeed the Soul Palace. , The research on the soul is really great."
"Really?" Yunshan thought for a moment and asked, "It's a bit difficult, but there is still a way to deal with it."
"Well, I have some ideas, but they still need further improvement." Lin Yuan confirmed Yunshan's guess, "I will study it for a while and then give you a solution. If you think it is feasible, we will choose a suitable time to deal with it. "
Hearing Lin Yuan's words, Yunshan finally felt a little more relaxed. This collaborator seemed to be relatively reliable.
"Thank you, my friend." Yunshan pondered for a moment, raised his glass to Lin Yuan, and then took the initiative to drink down the wine in the glass and said tentatively.
"Friend?" Lin Yuan chuckled and drank a glass, "Friend, you are polite."
Hearing the word "friend", Yun Shan picked up the wine pot and filled a cup for himself and Lin Yuan, "I know what my friend meant by saying, 'Sect Leader Yun is also in danger of life and death.' So, 'Yun Shan' "What does it mean that the Lan Sect is in danger of being destroyed?"
"Before I talk about this, can you tell me why the Soul Palace asked you to cooperate?" Lin Yuan asked without answering Yun Shan's question. road.
As he spoke, Lin Yuan looked at Yunshan's eyes. Lin Yuan naturally knew that the Soul Palace was for the Xiao family, and he planned to use this information he already knew to see Yunshan's current attitude towards the cooperation between the two.
"He is so familiar with the Soul Palace, does he really not know the purpose of the Soul Palace? Is this curiosity? Or is it testing?" Yunshan looked at Lin Yuan's deep eyes and analyzed Lin Yuan in his mind He quickly made a decision: "Forget it, your life is in his hands now. You can't gamble casually at this time. Let's tell him the facts first. Anyway, if you want to be bad, it will be a bad thing for the guardian of the bird." < br>
Thinking of this, Yunshan smiled gently and said: "Since my friend is curious, although I don't know much, I can still share it. I don't know the specific situation, but they attach great importance to Xiao in Wutan City. Home. However, it is not allowed to explore that side too much at the moment. As for why it is the Xiao family, I don’t know.”
Seeing that Yunshan released the real information. Yuan was a little satisfied. It seemed that the cooperation was on the right track.
“Thank you, my friend, for clearing up the confusion.” Lin Yuan said with a smile, “I have a little clue about this, and it is also related to the danger of the Yunlan Sect’s annihilation.”
“ It's really a test, luckily." Upon hearing this, Yunshan immediately understood that the other party was just testing, or in other words, a warning. Rejoicing in his heart, he asked seriously: "If it is really related to the danger of the Yunlan Sect's destruction, please make it clear."
Lin Yuan straightened his body and asked: "My friend, have you ever heard that in ancient times? Eight tribes? "
"Eight tribes from ancient times?" Hearing this unfamiliar word, Yunshan frowned, and his intuition told him that he might be exposed to some incredible secrets, "I have never heard of it. Yes, please ask your friends to clarify.”
Lin Yuan smiled softly and said: "Before mentioning these eight ancient tribes, I would like to ask my friend first, how much do you know about the power structure of Zhongzhou?" Yunshan gently shook the wine glass in his hand, and his tone revealed a few hints. He sighed: "Although I live in the northwest, as the head of a sect, I naturally know a little bit about the power structure of Zhongzhou. There is a saying in Zhongzhou of 'one palace, one tower, two sects, three valleys and four square pavilions'. Among them, the weakest The Sifang Pavilion is a Dou Zun-level force, far beyond the reach of a remote place like ours in the northwest.”
“And the Soul Palace is one of them, from the mainland. The top power." Yunshan's mood was a bit complicated when he mentioned the Soul Palace.
"Yes, this is the highest-end force on the surface of the Dou Qi Continent." Lin Yuan paused, and there was a bit of emotion in his tone: "But this is only on the surface. Dou Qi Continent There are also many hidden but extremely powerful forces."
"Among these many forces, the top one is the eight ancient clans, also known as the Imperial clan, and as the name suggests, the Dou Emperor. "The eight ancient clans? The descendants of Emperor Dou?" Yunshan suppressed the shock in his heart and asked in a deep voice: "Which eight clans?" Lin Yuan slowly said: "The eight ancient tribes are the soul tribe, the ancient tribe, the thunder tribe, the flame tribe, the medicine tribe, the stone tribe, the spirit tribe, and the Xiao tribe. Most of them live in the small world opened by Dou Emperor and Dou Sheng. Among them, they rarely show up on the mainland. However, there are many powerful people in their clan, including many Dou Sheng warriors. They are the undisputed overlord of the Dou Qi Continent."
Yunshan's face suddenly changed, and his mind was churning. Chao, all this is beyond his imagination, "Eight ancient clans...descendants of Emperor Dou...hun clan...Xiao clan..., soul...Xiao..." He murmured to himself, as if trying to digest these shocking things. information.
Lin Yuan did not speak, but quietly waited for Yunshan to digest the news.
Not long after.
"Haha! I didn't expect that Yunshan and Yunlan Sect would be involved in something of this level." As if he had figured something out, Yunshan smiled bitterly and drank the wine in his hand.
The sweet aftertaste of the spirit wine seemed to dilute the bitterness in his heart, and Yunshan felt a little more interested, "Does this wine have a name?"
Lin Yuan shook his head and smiled. He said: "I haven't chosen a name yet, how about you pick one for me?"
Yunshan thought for a while and said: "This wine is sweet and delicious, and it is endlessly memorable. How about calling it 'Qianri Gan'" ?”
Lin Yuan praised: “Qianri Gan, what a great name, thank you very much.”
Yunshan said seriously: “If you want to thank me, you might as well answer a few questions.”
"Oh?" Looking at the calm and witty Yunshan who was completely different from his prescient impression, Lin Yuan smiled and nodded, "Ask me."
Yun Shan took a deep breath and straightened his expression. Although he had already guessed something, he still hoped to get confirmation from Lin Yuan, "What is the relationship between the Soul Palace and the Xiao Family, as well as the Soul Clan and the Xiao Clan among the eight ancient clans?" What does it have to do with it?"
Lin Yuan looked at Yunshan and said, "The Soul Palace is the peripheral force of the Soul Clan. The Soul Heavenly Emperor you insulted before is the leader of the Soul Clan, the Peak Fighting Saint of the Nine Stars, the true Douqi Continent. The top powerhouse. In terms of strength, he should be able to kill the master of the Soul Palace with one strike. "Hiss." Yunshan took a breath. Page should be the name of the powerful soul clan members. Thinking of this, he looked at Lin Yuan with even more complicated eyes, and sighed: "Thanks to my friends, I have really done some amazing things! You are so bold, aren't you afraid of playing with fire and burning yourself?"
Lin Yuan smiled and said nothing, where are we going this time? What he might do in the future would be much more extreme than this.
Looking at Lin Yuan's indifferent expression, Yunshan said helplessly: "Let's continue talking about the Xiao family and the Xiao clan."
A somewhat teasing smile appeared on Lin Yuan's face, "And The Xiao family is the main branch of the once most powerful imperial clan - the Xiao clan after its fall. The karma between the Yunlan Sect and them is quite deep. Your young sect master went to the Xiao family to break off his engagement, and also had an affair with the Xiao family's son. It’s very interesting to make a three-year agreement.”
“The imperial clan will also fall?” Yunshan’s tone was very subtle, whether it was sighing or doubting, and he ignored Lin Yuan’s words. The meaning of ridicule.
Lin Yuan smiled and said: "That's natural. There are also many imperial clans that have disappeared. The Xiao clan began to decline more than a thousand years ago and eventually slowly became the Xiao family. And the Soul clan , is currently the two most powerful imperial clan among the eight clans, and is also an imperial clan that is hostile to the Xiao clan."
Lin Yuan did not finish his words, but looked at Yunshan with a smile and handed the words over. Give it to him.
"However, even if the Xiao clan has fallen to the level of the Xiao family, it is clear that a fighting king can wipe them out, but the Soul Palace is still so cautious in dealing with it, which means that the Xiao family is by no means what they see on the surface. It's so simple, isn't it?" Yunshan drank another drink, as if he wanted to wash away the bitterness in his heart with the sweet wine.
"That's right, no matter how defeated it is, it is still the afterglow of the once strongest imperial clan." Lin Yuan's gentle voice sounded, and he slowly told the cruel truth: "The Xiao clan has good relations with the ancient clan. The remnant souls of the most powerful people are still in the ancient clan, and the ancient clan is currently the two most powerful imperial clan among the eight clans."
"Thousands of years are not long for the strong, the ancient clan. There are even many fighting saints and fighting masters from other imperial clans who are still alive who are friends with the Xiao clan. They may not care about the decline of the Xiao clan, but if the Xiao clan is really destroyed, it will be destroyed in Yunlan. In Zong’s hands, do you think something will happen?”
Yunshan understands, completely understands.
Why did the Bird Protector tell me not to explore there easily? It is very likely that there are some strong men from the Imperial Clan over there who are paying attention to the Xiao family, and casual inquiries may alert the enemy.
Why did the Soul Palace not take action even though it could easily wipe out the Xiao family? It was to allow himself and Yunlan Sect to go to the stage to bear the anger and backlash that might come. There are many strong men, no matter what the reason, as long as one of them becomes angry, he and Yunlan Sect will suffer the disaster of annihilation.
Will Soul Palace protect itself and Yunlan Sect? Impossible, I don’t have that value.
And you don’t carry out the orders of the Soul Palace? Impossible, things in the Soul Palace are not that easy to get. If he disobeys the order, the Soul Palace will never spare him. He will still die, and the Yunlan Sect will still be destroyed.
"So, from the moment the Soul Palace came to me, the Yunlan Sect and I were already on a dead end?" Yunshan came to this desperate conclusion, and then fell into There was a long silence.
I don’t know how long it took, but there was a burst of curses that were extremely inconsistent with Yunshan’s appearance and temperament: "Yunlan Sect’s many years of foundation are actually going to be destroyed in my hands? Damn the imperial clan! Damn it!" Xiao Family Xiao Clan! Go to the Soul Palace Soul Clan."
"It's done!" Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, "I finally aroused Yunshan's hatred for the Soul Palace."< br>
