After Yan Yun squinted his eyes and thought for a moment, he suddenly seemed to understand something, and his face suddenly became extremely gloomy.
"It turned out to be the Taoist friend I met in Xutian Palace. Where is the other Taoist friend who presided over the opening ceremony of Xutian Palace now?"
Yan Yun's tone was full of gloom.
As for the elder in white, his face had turned as pale as paper.
This person was the Xing Palace law enforcement elder who was almost stabbed in the heart by Yan Yun's sword in the inner hall of Xu Tian Palace.
When he first stepped into the hall, although Yan Yun felt familiar, he did not recognize him for a moment.
However, the exclamation just now made him instantly recall the past events in Xutian Palace, and he naturally recognized Yan Yun.
"Brother Yan, does he know Elder Ximen?"
Ling Yuling naturally noticed the change in Yan Yun's expression, and her heart tightened, so she still had to ask.
"It's nothing special. It's just that before I condensed the Nascent Soul, I had some entanglements with this fellow Taoist Ximen."
Yan Yun's expression changed, as if he was thinking about something, but he quickly regained his composure and answered calmly.
"I see. If Elder Ximen was really offensive back then, I would like to ask Brother Yan to accept the matter and not pursue the matter further."
"Shall we continue to discuss how to deal with Wan Tianming?"
Hearing Yan Yun's understatement, Ling Yuling's nervousness eased slightly, and she quickly changed the topic with a smile and continued to talk about the previous issue.
After all, the Counter Star Alliance is the biggest threat Star Palace currently faces!
After hearing Yan Yun's words, the fear in the heart of the elder in white was slightly relieved, but the expression on his face still could not completely calm down.
"Yan doesn't know exactly what the two saints said to fellow Taoist Yuling back then."
"However, the condition I agreed to originally was only to help fellow Taoists when their own lives are threatened or when I am unable to help."
"I never promised that I would fight to the death with a monk of equal strength for the survival of Star Palace."
Yan Yun said slowly.
As soon as these words came out, the entire stone palace suddenly fell into silence.
"If, as you said, the Star Palace has been reduced to ashes, do you think I can still survive?"
"Moreover, I did not ask Mr. Yan to fight desperately with Wan Tianming. I just hope that when I and others take action, you can restrain the senior."
"This should be something that Brother Yan can do."
Ling Yuling frowned and explained to Yan Yun gently.
"It is indeed not impossible to just contain that senior."
"However, the problem is that the other party is also a powerful practitioner. Once the battle begins, whether it will be necessary to fight desperately is probably something Yan cannot predict."
"If Fairy Ru Ling agrees in advance, if that senior uses fatal means, I can leave the battlefield on my own. In this way, I can also accept this task."
"In addition, whether the Star Palace has been destroyed and Fairy Ling's personal safety are actually two different things. Even if the Star Palace no longer exists, Yan can still ensure Fairy Ling's safety even if she tries her best."
"This is also Yan's fulfillment of the promise he made to your father back then. Otherwise, based on the exchange conditions reached between the two saints and me, it would be difficult for Yan to bear such a risk."
Yan Yun answered calmly, and in just a few words, he revealed the core of the problem.
Ling Yuling's expression changed slightly several times.
"Fellow Daoist Yan, it seems from your words that it is not impossible to help, but that it requires a sufficient price to achieve it. I understand it correctly, right!"
The old man surnamed Zhao, who had been silent all this time, noticed some information from Yan Yun's words. He frowned, stroking his beard and asked.
"Indeed, everything in the world has its value. As long as the conditions proposed by your palace are truly attractive, it is not impossible for Yan to take the risk."
Yan Yun smiled lightly, not hiding his thoughts.
"So, what does Fellow Taoist Yan want?"
The fellow Taoist named Elder Ma asked with sharp eyes.
"It's not about my specific needs, but what kind of things your palace plans to impress me."
Yan Yun responded calmly.
At this time, the elders of the Star Palace were openly talking, and some even started communicating directly in the palace.
These old monsters who had survived for hundreds of years were not angry at Yan Yun's previous refusal.
Because for them, there is no benefit to be gained and they need to fight desperately with practitioners of the same level. I am afraid that no one is willing to engage in such a stupid thing.
Especially when it involves a fight between the top experts in the human world, the risk level is far higher than the above-mentioned situation.
However, it is obviously not easy to impress Yan Yun.
After all, as great monks, how could they covet ordinary treasures, materials and even secret books?
Ling Yuling, who was sitting on the main seat, looked at the intense discussion among all the elders in the hall, with an uncertain expression on her face.
After a moment of hesitation, she suddenly opened her red lips and said bluntly:
"What Brother Yan said makes sense, but I'm afraid Brother Yan won't take ordinary items seriously."
"Therefore, I have decided to use Yuanci Divine Light's cultivation method and Yuanci Divine Mountain as the terms of the transaction. May I ask what Brother Yan thinks of this plan?"
"It is said that this technique is so mysterious that only people with extraordinary talents like Brother Yan are qualified to practice it."
As soon as the woman opened her mouth, she revealed the main purpose of Yan Yun's trip, which made Yan Yun stunned. He looked at Ling Yuling carefully for a few times, then narrowed his eyes slightly and fell into deep thought.
The other Star Palace elders couldn't help but be surprised when they heard this, and then they all showed surprised looks and exchanged looks with each other, but no one stood up to express opposition.
Although Yuanci Divine Light is well-known, it is a secret technique practiced by the Twin Saints of Heaven and Star in the past.
However, this technique is extremely difficult to practice and has many drawbacks. For ordinary Nascent Soul practitioners, it is undoubtedly quite useless.
However, by exchanging Yan Yun's help with this technique and the Yuanci Mountain, they really couldn't find any reason to object.
Instead, he was a little worried about whether Yan Yun would readily accept this proposal.
This important result far exceeded everyone's expectations. After Yan Yun thought for a moment, he nodded meaningfully and replied:
"It can be seen that Fairy Yuling has already understood what Yan wants. Yan is not a greedy person and is willing to use this as a bargaining chip."
"At that time, Yan will do his best to help you stop Wan Tianming's attack. Although there is no guarantee that the opponent will be completely annihilated, it can at least ensure that he cannot pose a threat to you." "Very good, I firmly believe that Brother Yan will do what he says. After that, he will order people to deliver Yuanci Divine Light Cultivation Technique first, and then personally deliver Yuanci Mountain when the war is over.”
Ling Yuling's jade-like cheeks once again bloomed into a beautiful smile.
"In this case, Yan is here to wait for the friendly news from Lingdao. I feel a little tired from traveling all the way, so I will say goodbye and take a rest."
Seeing that the negotiation was successfully concluded, Yan Yun was unwilling to stay for a long time and stood up to apologize to everyone present.
"It should be so! Elder Zhao, please arrange a quiet room for Taoist Fellow Yan, so that Fellow Taoist Yan can rest in peace for two days to cultivate."
"In addition, Fellow Daoist Yan is an honored guest. In the past few days, I also ask Fellow Daoist Zhao to take good care of Brother Yan."
Ling Yuling readily accepted the suggestion and turned to give cordial instructions to the old man named Zhao.
The white-haired old man understood and bowed respectfully to Ling Yuling before leading Yan Yun out of the hall.
After Yan Yun gestured to Ling Yuling, he did not leave immediately.
Instead, his eyes moved, and he took a deep look at the old man Ximen sitting among the elders. The blue light flickered in the depths of his pupils, and then he walked out of the hall calmly.
Under Yan Yun's gaze, the old man from Ximen felt his heart suddenly tremble, and cold sweat ran down his back. At the same time, there was a slight sting in his consciousness, which made him almost unable to help but jump up from his seat.
However, when Yan Yun turned around and left, the stinging pain in his consciousness immediately disappeared without a trace, as if it had never happened.
Elder Ximen was horrified and immediately carefully checked his physical and mental state to confirm that everything was normal and there was nothing abnormal.
This made the old man feel a little at ease, and at the same time he couldn't help but laugh at himself for worrying too much.
This place is an important town in the Star Palace, and even though Yan Yun is a powerful practitioner, he does not dare to act rashly.
However, the old man had already made a decision. Once the meeting was over, he would immediately retreat into hiding and not appear until the war officially started.
During this period, resolutely avoid meeting Yan Yun again to avoid unexpected disasters.
After all, he once attacked Yan Yun with a flying sword and almost took his life. Now that Yan Yun's magical power is far better than his own, it may be difficult to resolve this grudge easily.
well! If he had known that Yan Yun would have such astonishing achievements today, he should not have provoked this person in the first place, or he should have been eradicated decisively.
Elder Ximen sighed secretly, his heart full of remorse and regret.
"Palace Master, can this monk named Yan really be able to contain Wan Tianming? Where does he come from, and is he reliable?"
"Otherwise, although this person claims to be willing to help, he may actually be secretly colluding with the Counter Star Alliance. When our army reaches a critical moment in the battle, he may suddenly withdraw and leave, or even turn around and confront our army."
< br>
"Aren't we in trouble? It would be safer to take advantage of the fortification measures in the city and hold on to Star City."
After Yan Yun and Elder Zhao disappeared at the exit of the hall, the strong man in purple asked Ling Yuling in a serious tone, with doubts on his face.
"Elder Ma, there is no need to worry. Fellow Taoist Yan is someone I already knew before my father made an agreement with him."
"Although he and I are not close friends, when he was young, he developed grudges with a group of good and evil masters in the Counter Star Alliance because of the Void Heaven Cauldron."
"So I will never have anything to do with these people."
"Furthermore, it is about whether he can truly contain Wan Tianming. I think it should not be a problem."
"After all, Fellow Daoist Yan's cultivation level is more advanced than that of Wan Tianming, and he holds an artifact like the Xutian Cauldron in his hand. No matter from which angle you look at it, his chances of winning seem to be greater."
"Besides this, do you have any better strategies?"
"Our Star City's defense formation is indeed extremely mysterious, but under the non-stop attacks by the opponent's power of wind and fire day and night, I am afraid it will not be able to sustain it for too long."
"Therefore, we must have a decisive battle with each other to determine the winner. By then, either the Anti-Star Alliance will completely collapse, or the Star Palace will cease to exist."
Ling Yuling said with an unusually firm and decisive attitude.
"Since you, Palace Master, have spoken like this, we can only rely on this fellow Taoist Yan!"
After thinking for a moment, the burly man in a purple robe thought that he had no other choice, so he could only speak with a bit of reluctance.
When Ling Yuling saw the most rebellious among the elders, she didn't raise any objection. A faint smile appeared on her face and she whispered:
"Next, we need to discuss the specific date for the decisive battle with the opponent, and how to launch an attack to break through the opponent's carefully laid formation..."
……
In a secret room with an extremely secluded environment, Yan Yun sat cross-legged on the ground, crossed his hands on his chest, pinched a strange magic formula, and closed his eyes tightly.
Time seemed to have frozen. I don't know how much time had passed. Yan Yun's expression changed slightly and he slowly opened his eyes.
"Fellow Daoist Yan, have you finally decided to take action?"
A light laughter sounded in Yan Yun's ears. It turned out to be the voice of the boy transformed by the Lan beast.
"How did you know what I was doing?"
Yan Yun's face was expressionless, but his tone of voice seemed very serious.
"Although I don't know exactly what kind of mysterious spell you cast, the moment before you left that hall, you obviously used the power of your spiritual thoughts to directly leave a spiritual mark on that person."
< br>
"Although this secret technique is not very advanced, considering the power of your spiritual thoughts, how can the many practitioners in the stone hall detect the signs that you have secretly attacked them?"
"What's more, it's impossible for fellow Taoist Yan to act like this just to have a drink with that person again, right?"
The boy responded with a smile in a naughty tone.
"Since my Taoist friends have discovered it, I don't need to hide it. Although I am not a person who will definitely retaliate against the person who almost put me to death, I cannot let go of such a life-and-death hatred easily."
< br>
"I was in the Star Palace Temple just now, so I couldn't take action directly. Now that this person has left the Stone Palace, he can take action."
Yan Yun replied with a sneer, then reached out and patted the storage bag on his waist. In the flash of silver light, the humanoid puppet quietly appeared.
Then with a slight leap, he passed through the nearby wall and disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Yan Yun suddenly stood up, pushed open the door of the nearby secret room, and walked out.
After passing through a narrow corridor, Yan Yun stepped into a spacious hall.
The old man named Zhao was sitting on a chair and tasting the fragrant tea in the cup. When he saw Yan Yun suddenly appear, he couldn't help showing surprise on his face.
"Fellow Daoist Zhao, it seems that you are practicing wood-attribute skills. If you don't mind, you would like to share your practice experience with me."
Yan Yun said calmly and calmly with a smile on his lips. (End of chapter)
