Upon hearing the words "Junior Brother Wang Lu", Wang Lu finally realized the identity of this person.
"You …" Wang Lu looked at the person in front of him in surprise and could not help but stand up.
From the familiar magical power fluctuation of the thunder body, Wang Lu finally confirmed the identity of the other party, which was the lead disciple of Ten Thousand Arts Sect, Zhan Ziye.
It was not surprising to see Zhan Ziye here — among the five lead disciples of the five sects, three of them had already been determined. Wang Lu belonged to the earth element Gray Mountain, Zhou Mumu belonged to the water element Harmony River, and Qiong Hua was the luckiest. She was assigned to Golden City, where she had the best geographical advantage. Only the lead disciples of Royal Soldier Sect and Ten Thousand Arts Sect, it was unknown who was assigned to Flaming Valley and who was assigned to Eternal Tree. However, based on Wang Lu's current understanding of this immortal dream land, Zhan Ziye was obviously more suitable for Eternal Tree.
It was just that, after a few years, Zhan Ziye's change was so great that Wang Lu didn't recognize him at first glance. In fact, no matter how forgetful Wang Lu was, he still remembered the lead disciple of one of the Five Uniques of the Wanxian League. However, compared to the exchange between the two sects on Spirit Sword Mountain, Zhan Ziye's change was simply earth-shattering.
In terms of magical power cultivation base, a few years ago, Zhan Ziye was close to Xudan Stage, Foundation Establishment Stage. But now, he was only peak Xudan Stage, which was the same as him. In terms of cultivation base, he was actually not as good as him. However, the general stage classification method had always been invalid in front of the lead disciples of the Five Uniques of the Wanxian League. Although Zhan Ziye was peak Xudan Stage, his thunder body was more than twenty layers, which was enough for him to look down on the vast majority of Daoist Master King Pill in the world. Even Wang Lu himself was deeply shocked when he saw that instantaneous movement just now. He was confident that his Non-Phase Sword Art's defensive power was number one in the world, but in the face of an unusually fast opponent, relying on his Non-Phase Sword Art alone, he only had the power to protect himself.
However, compared to his cultivation base advancement, the real change was reflected in his temperament. After not seeing him for a few years, Zhan Ziye seemed to have been reborn, from a young and inexperienced teenager to a young man who could take charge of an area. This was completely different from the common arrogance of the cultivators of Ten Thousand Arts Sect. After all, other disciples could be isolated from the world and concentrate on their own research, but Zhan Ziye was the lead disciple of the Ten Thousand Arts Sect, the future successor of the Sect Leader. In addition to having a high cultivation base and profound knowledge, he must also have the ability to lead the entire sect. After a few years of experience, he was getting closer to his master, Supreme Tian Lun.
In this regard, Wang Lu couldn't help but sigh. None of the chief disciples of the Five Uniques of the Wanxian League were easy to deal with. If they didn't work hard enough, they could be surpassed by others, no matter in what aspect. However, as the lead disciple of Spirit Sword Sect, Wang Lu's own progress was not inferior to anyone. Even if Zhan Ziye had undergone earth-shaking changes, he could still talk to him with confidence.
"Senior Brother Ziye, you've changed a lot in the past few years."
Upon hearing this, Zhan Ziye's eyes lit up and he said proudly, "Haha, you also noticed? I grew a beard! "
"…"
Zhan Ziye flaunted his two to three inches long beard on his chin. "According to my research in the Ten Thousand Arts Sect, growing a beard can effectively change a person's external image. More than seventy percent of the female respondents said that they think a man with a beard is more mature than a man without a beard. And in the historical records, before the Age of Chaos, there was an exceptionally beautiful beard, like a senior with four eyebrows. His affinity with the opposite sex was very good, and in his life, there were many beautiful women. In addition to his unique personality charm, his iconic beard was also an important factor. A few years ago, I tried to pursue Junior Sister Liu Li, but to no avail. Later, I turned to pursue other women, but the progress was also not smooth. Thus, I thought of growing a beard, and now it seems that it really works … "
Halfway through his words, Zhan Ziye seemed to realize that he had gone off topic. He hurriedly gave an apologetic smile to Wang Lu, and then cupped his hands toward Sacred Leaf Shaman.
Shaman, however, did not care about Zhan Ziye's intimate conversation with Wang Lu and just nodded to Zhan Ziye.
Zhan Ziye said with a sinking voice, "Madam Sacred Leaf, I have completed all the tasks according to the plan. Now that the war between Golden City and Flaming Valley has begun, the Flaming Valley Legion has set foot on the territory of Golden City, and our chance to reap the benefits is right in front of us."
Upon hearing this, Wang Lu was startled. Golden City and Flaming Valley have already started a war? The two most powerful forces in this five way power struggle have actually started a war?
Shaman, however, seemed to have already expected this. She said with great satisfaction, "Very good, indeed worthy to be the spirit of all blood spirits."
Zhan Ziye said, "This is not my credit. It's just that Golden City and Flaming Valley have long had a grudge. They both regard each other as their biggest opponent and wish for the other party to die quickly. When the situation forms a delicate balance, they can still maintain restraint and not fight each other. However, this kind of balance based on multiple restraints is too fragile. Long-term hostility has made both sides tense up and ready to fight at any moment. As long as there is a little change, it could cause a landslide and tsunami chain reaction. "
Seeing that Wang Lu didn't seem to understand much about this and even had some objections, Zhan Ziye took the initiative to explain, "Indeed, according to the research data, in most similar situations, before the two opposing giants come into direct contact, they would usually choose a third party as the wrestling field. In this way, regardless of victory or defeat, there would be room for mediation. And from this theory, when Golden City and Flaming Valley are mutually restraining each other, Harmony River, Eternal Tree, and Gray Mountain, these three forces are instead the most dangerous. However, this point has been revised after many discussions with Madam Sacred Leaf, because Flaming Valley can't be measured with common sense. They are a group of irrational, warlike lunatics who take pride in challenging the strong. Over the years, they have repeatedly provoked war against Golden City. Were it not for Flaming Valley setting up a group of elders composed of several great sages, who would constantly stop the unplanned behavior of Flaming Valley, they would have died thousands of years ago because of their warlike nature. However, the role of the group of elders is limited. If they encounter a situation that is intolerable in the eyes of Flaming Valley, no one can stop their war. "
By this point, Wang Lu had already guessed what exactly Zhan Ziye did.
"That's right." Zhan Ziye said with a smile, "I used Ten Thousand Methods Comprehension to imitate the spell of the golden clad celestial generals of Golden City and massacred a sentry post at the border of Flaming Valley. This immediately aroused the monstrous anger of Flaming Valley. "
Wang Lu couldn't help but chuckle. "It's really simple and crude."
"It's indeed simple and crude, but under careful examination, it's actually full of flaws. However, as long as they can't guess that I have Ten Thousand Methods Comprehension, they can't explain the spell that I used to massacre the sentry post. The spell of the golden clad celestial generals of Golden City is unique. In this world, no one can cultivate it, let alone cast it. Therefore, since the people in the sentry post died under the spell of the celestial generals, then the killer must be the golden clad celestial generals of Golden City. Thus, it's imperative for them to retaliate. Thus, I conveniently helped them by imitating the summoning of the heavenly fire of Flaming Valley and burned a city on the periphery of Golden City. After that, no one could stop the fierce battle between the two sides. "
Upon hearing this, Wang Lu suddenly asked, "How strong is Qiong Hua's control over Golden City?"
Zhan Ziye said, "Junior Brother Wang Lu is indeed a smart person. You directly asked the point. According to my understanding, Qiong Hua's control over Golden City is very poor, almost zero."
"Oh?"
Zhan Ziye said, "This is probably the balance strategy of the immortal dream land. In the five spirits power struggle, each of us five lead disciples corresponds to one of the forces. Among the five forces, Golden City is the strongest, and among the five, Qiong Hua is the strongest — moreover, she is different from us. Her entire team entered the immortal dream land. "
Upon hearing this, Wang Lu interjected, "How many people from Qiong Hua's team actually came? So many people, who exactly is the gold spirit? "
"Thirty-six, each of them is a gold spirit." Zhan Ziye said, "As for Qiong Hua herself, she is the king of gold spirit."
"... King of gold spirit? There's such a rank? Why do I feel like we're not playing the same game? "
"Yes, a strong alliance that leaves everyone else behind. But how could there be such an unfair thing in the world? Qiong Hua has a great advantage, but she also has a great hidden danger — her team and the master of Golden City are not on good terms. Not only can they not cooperate sincerely, they even plot against each other. In this case, no matter how brilliant Qiong Hua is, she can't display it. Let alone as far as I know, she can't even protect herself. "
"Can't protect herself?" Wang Lu was somewhat curious.
"Golden City is too strong, so strong that they think that even without the assistance of the blood spirit, they can still win this power struggle. Therefore, Qiong Hua's team is not important to them. On the contrary, those people from Shengjing Sect who are accustomed to being strong are variables that are difficult to control, so … "
Speaking to this, Zhan Ziye shrugged his shoulders. "Let Shengjing Sect people experience the troubles of a strong alliance. Next, we just need to prepare to watch the fight and wait for the result of the decisive battle between Golden City and Flaming Valley. As for the showdown between you, me, and Senior Sister Zhou, let's wait until after both Shengjing Sect and Royal Soldier Sect are eliminated. "
With that, Zhan Ziye revealed a relaxed posture. He sat at the corner of the dining table and began to drink heartily.
However, Wang Lu was not so optimistic.
"Would things be that simple? The opponent is Qiong Hua, and her endless miracles in recent years are not just based on public opinion. If this situation can make things difficult for Qiong Hua, then she doesn't deserve to be the lead disciple of Shengjing Sect. "
Wang Lu closed his eyes, thought for a moment, and then suddenly stood up.
"I'm going out for a walk."
With that, regardless of the fact that the banquet was not over yet, Wang Lu walked out of the door.
—
At the same time, in the distant Golden City, in a quiet and spacious hall, a beautiful girl sat upright with her eyes closed in rapt attention. Although the hall was bright and spacious, it was isolated from the rest of the world, like an empty prison.
Suddenly, the girl seemed to be aware of something. She opened her eyes and softly muttered to herself in a distant voice.
"Sure enough, it's the strategy of driving the tiger to swallow the wolf."
