Today's Shuxuan Tower is Xiyu Lake, or the center of the three lakes in the North.
Everything that happens in Shuxuan Tower will affect the direction of Xiyu Alliance in the future.
So, this place has always been the focus of people's attention, and the sudden change of atmosphere in the building also naturally spreads from inside Shuxuan Building to outside the building, and then from the water mirrors in every corner of Xiyu Lake. to the hearts of all the monks watching.
Even if the situation inside the Shuxuan Tower cannot be clearly seen, the monks on the lake can see the almost equally solemn faces of various people on the viewing platform.
In this atmosphere, every feeling is different, and it even arouses the distracting thoughts of many people, with the potential to expand rapidly.
The lake also became inexplicably silent, and gradually, even the hum of whispers disappeared.
Such a quiet scene came suddenly and went away quickly. The real "silence" only lasted about a tenth of a breath. The solemn momentum returned to flow, as if it had never happened.
Some monks who are careless are not even aware of it.
Yu Ci "wandered" in the emotional undercurrent outside for a while, then turned around and scanned the changes in everyone's expressions on the floor with interest.
It makes no sense, right...
The senior leaders of the Xiyu Alliance, that is, the twelve core sects of the "Four Days and Eight Places" present here, and perhaps the fifteen human-level sects, must have reached a tacit understanding, and they must unanimously communicate to the outside world; and for internal " "Distribution", in the past few days, each sect must have done their homework and formed an agreement.
In contrast, those sects that have not participated in the "agreement" or have received benefits from "outsiders" such as the Maritime Chamber of Commerce and others are the targets of their suppression.
In terms of the balance of power, the two sides are completely asymmetrical, and it can be said that they have controlled the situation.
So, where does this subtle yet turbulent undercurrent come from?
Did anything happen during the few days he was away from the real world?
At this moment, Mrs. Xia spoke in a low voice:
“I have presided over many talks. I often see Taoist friends from all walks of life discussing mysteries and reasoning, and I don’t treat people lightly. But this is the first time I have seen it. Even before it started, tensions were already tense... Actually, I had known this would happen. It’s just not the face of some people!”
Her words are straightforward and full of complaints, as if she is giving some eye drops to some people in the Xiyu Alliance. As for who will automatically take the seat, it is not her concern.
However, if we delve deeper into the subtleties of Mrs. .
In Shuxuan Tower, the atmosphere really began to relax, and the smiles on everyone's faces were not so elusive.
Mrs. Xia grasped the rhythm very well. She clapped her hands gently, and the clouds drifted from her wings. Fresh fruits and wine flowed around the table like water, diluting the special meaning.
But everyone from all parties understands that today's meeting has nothing to do with "lightness" from the beginning.
What is supposed to come will always come.
Sure enough, Mrs. Xia spoke again and immediately drew Xin Yi in:
"It's rare for Xin Tianjun to take the time to come in person... Speaking of which, it's been a long time since I invited Tianjun to Bixiao Qingtan. To see you today is a wish fulfilled."
Xin Yi responded with a smile: "In the past few years, I have been with a few monks in the west for a long time, and I feel that there are always some predestined relationships in the world. If I can't invite you tomorrow, I will come uninvited today. Speaking of which, it's all... It’s fate!”
The conversation between the two changed from offensive to defensive. It seemed that Xin Yi was shameless and blocked Mrs. Xia's innuendo.
But this convinced Yu Ci that something had gone wrong between Xin Yi and the senior officials of the Xiyu League, that is, between the Bajing Palace and the Xiyu League.
Yu Ci looked at Xue Pingzhi, who thought for a moment, then leaned over and said in a restrained voice:
"According to Mrs. Xia, Xin Yi notified all the sects yesterday that he wanted to participate in the meeting, which caught all parties off guard..."
"Didn't we receive news that he was going north before?"
"I came here by the 'Ladder to Heaven' from the clear sky outside the clouds. I spoke yesterday and will arrive today. In terms of speed, I am afraid that only the Great Void Movement can beat it, but its practicality is far inferior. How can you resist it? What? ”
"Ladder to Heaven?"
"How on earth did the Master Housheng train you...Have you paid attention to everything except cultivation these years? Why don't you know these common senses?"
Xue Pingzhi was also familiar with him. He complained half-heartedly but still explained to him.
As the most powerful family in the world, the Bajing Palace is located in the "Pure Sky Beyond the Clouds", which is the first of the "Dongtian Blessed Land" in the true world. Its approximate location is above Yunzhong Mountain - anyway, if outsiders want to enter, they have to go through The top of the mountain in the clouds soared away.
As for the specific location, some say it is in the Blue Sky Realm, while others say it is in a new void world. It is really elusive.
But no matter what, the "Qingxu Heaven Beyond the Clouds" should be very high, so high that one can easily visit the outer realm without spending much time. Compared to other monks who spend ten days and a half, the arduous trek is really the most convenient.
You must know that there is a vacuum outside the territory, and there are very few obstacles. Except for the raging demons, there are almost no time limits. Coupled with the flying escapement weapon such as the "Sky Domain Shuttle", the real acceleration speed is dozens or hundreds of times higher than in the real world.
After cutting off the necessary expenses such as rest, training, etc., under normal circumstances, Changsheng Zhenren would have to fly for half a year in the real world. By taking the Tianyu Shuttle, it can even be reduced to one day.
Bajing Palace will never let go of this advantage.
They also know that even if they travel outside the territory with amazing efficiency, they still have to travel through the Blue Sky Territory to reach their destination.
To this end, they created a special method. It is said that they use the power accumulated by the Sky Domain Shuttle to fly at high speed to forcibly "cut" a downward tunnel in the Biluo Sky Domain. It is also said that it forms a relatively short-distance "void". "Moved".
In short, special means are used to infinitely compress the transportation time from the "Qingxu Sky Beyond the Clouds" to the destination.
Because this method will form a clear cloud path in the blue sky, it is called "Ladder to Heaven" by monks in this world. Later, the word "down" was erased and named directly after "Ladder to Heaven".
The existence of the "ladder to heaven" actually reflects the unparalleled deterrence of the Eight Views Palace.
Given how big the real world is, as long as the "ladder to heaven" is erected, it is said that one can reach any corner of the real world from the "clear sky beyond the clouds" within three days.
This time it was Xin Tianjun who was transported. Next time, what about an Earth Immortal? Or three? Five?
Thinking about this kind of thing makes people shudder.
Fortunately, the output of Tianyu Shuttle is very slow, and resources are also limited. The major sects and merchants combined may not be able to produce three ships a year, but the loss rate is very high; the demons outside the territory are rampant, and variables It's also very big; also, before and after the "ladder to heaven" is set up, it may be interfered by people with the power of the void...
Besides, at the level of the Earthly Immortal, it is not difficult to kill someone hundreds of millions of miles away in an instant. Using a "ladder to heaven" or something like that doesn't make much sense; Bajing Palace has been talking about it for a long time. The principle of "purity and inaction" does not allow them to frequently use such "tyrannical" methods.
Various restrictive factors can finally give some comfort to all forces in this world.
But sometimes, as a tool to express your attitude, it is really useful.
Yu Ci couldn't help but think: Xin Yi came to Xiyu Lake with the power of Bajing Palace, maybe to insert a foot in the battle for the void world?
If this is really the case, and for some reason the senior leaders of the Xiyu League cannot refuse, it is very likely that the distribution plan discussed in advance will be turned into a piece of waste paper.
The majesty of Bajing Palace is not so easy to offend... Well, it can also be said that the face of Bajing Palace is given by Xiyumeng.
If you don’t want to break up, you have to admit it even if you have no choice but to admit it.
But who wants to suffer?
Fifteen members of the sect in four days and eight places finally managed to coordinate, and how much saliva wasted to say that they would give up, but they would give up?
Yu Ci feels that with the "fairness", long-term "control" and consistent "humanity of the world" of the Xiyu League, pressure must be transmitted, and losses must also be transmitted...
To whom? Can it be accepted over there? These are all headaches.
Yu Ci glanced at Xin Yi.
If it is really as he thought, the Bajing Palace is clear and there are no tricks, but its powerful strength is like a sledgehammer flying from the sky. With one blow, it can destroy the densely woven net of the Jade Alliance. It was smashed and "dented and deformed".
No matter how strict the rules of the Jade Cleansing Alliance are and how clever their methods are, they are not that useful at this moment.
On the other side, Qianbaodao suddenly came over and bared his teeth at Xue Pingzhi in amusement.
Xue Pingzhi straightened his body calmly. Yu Ci admired his courage and said with a wry smile
"What are your orders, Uncle Master?"
Taoist Qianbao said in a low voice: "Originally I wanted to ask Zhang Yan about that kid, but then I thought about it, since you are so open-minded, there is no problem in terms of safety..."
Yu Ci said "uh" and realized that this was really a flaw.
In the name of Zhang Yan's disappearance, he fought with Zhao Xiangshan, causing the destruction of Wuji Pavilion. In his own opinion, the matter had come to an end, and he didn't bother to pay attention to related matters.
But in the eyes of others, Zhang Yan's whereabouts are still "a mystery."
Under such circumstances, Yu Ci's attitude was a bit too casual.
Of course, Zhang Yan, the Buxu Sword Cultivator, cannot be said to be a chariot-carrying warrior in the Three Lakes of Beidi, and he is not too conspicuous. Taoist Qianbao noticed it because Zhang Yan is a disciple of the Lichen Sect. For this reason Special attention.
As for the others...it's hard to say.
Yu Ci reminded himself, and then changed the topic: "Uncle, what do you want to ask now?"
“Of course I’m asking a practical question.”
"When you came, the one who stopped you halfway was Bai Xiufeng, right?"
"Exactly."
"Bai Xiufeng came here because of the Death Star?"
"Yes, he felt that there was no one here, but there were a few talisman cultivators over there who could be used, so he tried his best to join in. I refused. Uncle Master..."
Taoist Qianbao laughed and said, "It's better if you refuse. It shows that you are sure, and that's the best. I'll just join in the fun...otherwise, uncle, my injury is not healed yet. You Do you really have the heart to let me end up? Well, if you really want to make up for it, I'll choose the 'Return to True Method'. I looked at the gameplay yesterday and it's a bit interesting."
Yu Ci grinned, understanding Taoist Qianbao's concern. Without saying much, he first poured a glass of wine, handed it to Taoist Qianbao with both hands, poured another glass for himself, and the two of them drank it together.
At this time, Mrs. Xia held the jade album and slowly turned the pages. In an understatement, she got to the point:
"The rules for how to belong to the seven void worlds have been set long ago. Today I will follow the rules. The first one is...
"Iron Death World!"
