"That old man agreed, but he had one condition."
In the meeting hall of Fei Peng Fort, Shangguan Feipeng stood and reported to Shangguan Jinhong.
"Oh?" Shangguan Jinhong said, "Why did he suddenly agree?"
Shangguan Feipeng smiled, "Even a cultivator can't last long in the water dungeon, let alone an ordinary person. Before the dinner was half over, he began to murmur and plead. "
Shangguan Jinhong said noncommittally, "What condition did he have?"
"He needs complete freedom," Shangguan Feipeng said.
"Freedom in what way?" Shangguan Jinhong asked curiously.
Shangguan Feipeng thought for a moment, then said, "He wants us to provide the complete blueprint of the Void Breaching Ship, an independent space in the shipyard, and the materials he needs at any time."
"What's the harm in giving it to him?" Shangguan Jinhong was very generous. He had always been like this to people.
"But other things are fine," Shangguan Feipeng said hesitantly, "The blueprint of the Void Breaching Ship is so important, if we give it to an outsider, I'm afraid …"
Shangguan Jinhong smiled faintly, "It's very simple, just hide the core. Once he enters the Cao Gang, he can't go anywhere else in this life. Can't you guys keep an eye on an ordinary person? "
"Of course not."
…
Dragon Emperor Residence.
Jin Sheng drank alone to drown his sorrows.
Wang Kun walked in from outside with a basket of dishes. He put it on the table and said, "Brother Jin, let me accompany you for a drink."
"Whether it's success or failure, it's all gone." Jin Sheng murmured, "Many years of hard work was easily erased by someone. Can Brother Wang understand how it feels?"
"Sigh!" Wang Kun set up the plates and sighed. "Who said otherwise!? Many laws are hell for ordinary people, but aren't they nightmares for us? With power in the hands of others, life and death at their mercy, where are the boundaries of the laws? I don't know, and you don't know either. Why? Because Lord Lone Eagle denied all your hard work with one sentence, and that's not the boundary. "
Jin Sheng drank a mouthful of wine and laughed coldly, "The scariest thing is not that there are no boundaries, but that no matter how high you climb, you're just a chess piece that can be abandoned at any time."
"From the looks of it, being content with a corner is not a bad choice," said Wang Kun.
"But Lord Lone Eagle has always been like this!" Jin Sheng said through gritted teeth. "There's nothing wrong with that. Since I failed, I have to bear the consequences of my failure. But … "
Wang Kun's eyes flickered as he said, "Yan Li, right?"
"Because of a mere unaffiliated person, I ended up in such a sorry state." Jin Sheng crushed his wine cup. He said savagely, "If I don't crush his bones and scatter his ashes, how can I dispel the hatred in my heart!"
"Brother Jin, did you go to the Soaring Roc Fort today for this matter?" Wang Kun suddenly asked.
"Yes." Jin Sheng was disheartened and did not want to hide it anymore.
His career had come to an end because Lone Eagle had never taken back his words.
"Yan Li has successfully infiltrated the Soaring Roc Fort?" Wang Kun asked.
"Yes," Jin Sheng said.
"But Shangguan Feihong didn't allow you to expose him?" asked Wang Kun.
"Yes," Jin Sheng said.
Wang Kun said, "Have you ever thought about the deeper meaning behind it?"
"What deeper meaning?" Jin Sheng said.
Wang Kun smiled as he shook his head and said, "Forget it. Brother Jin is most concerned about that little thief now. I have a plan. I wonder if Brother Jin is willing to listen to it? "
"Tell me about it!"
"Tomorrow is the Soaring Roc Convention. I heard that it's Shangguan Feihong's turn to host the convention this year. At that time, if Brother Jin takes off his Thousand Thread Mask and makes a move in the name of the Dragon Emperor Residence, will Shangguan Jinhong have any reason to stop him? What's more satisfying than personally tearing him apart in front of everyone's eyes? "
Jin Sheng's eyes gradually lit up.
…
"Did the little b * tch send a letter? Did you get the blueprint? Quick, let me see it. "
Gu Caiwei floated into the small building through the window.
Gu Qingyou put down the letter and said lightly, "There's a door, but you don't use the window. Where did you learn such an unorthodox method? Do you think you're a fairy? Let me tell you, you look like a pitiful homeless child!"
"I don't need you to care about me," Gu Caiwei sneered and snatched the letter. She quickly skimmed through it and immediately became happy.
"How unfortunate." Yan Shiyi stood on the other side of the window with his hands behind his back, looking at the clouds and dogs.
Gu Caiwei giggled and said, "I heard that you're Yan Li's elder brother and also his subordinate?"
Yan Shiyi laughed softly and said, "You always ask questions that you shouldn't."
Gu Caiwei giggled and said, "If I didn't look at your face, I could still think of the word 'majestic'. Unfortunately, your hair is very eyesore. Why is it purple? I heard that the royal family of the Ashura Tribe has golden hair, and the Rakshasa Tribe has scarlet hair. You don't have that, and your ears are different from them. Are you a mixed-blood? "
She kept asking questions like a curious baby.
"You're really not beautiful." Yan Shiyi chuckled and turned around. "This is the same as the question 'Why is your hair black'. I really can't understand why you look so ordinary. You're either black or white, and there's no beauty to speak of. Just like how people sigh at the sunset, I'm extremely disappointed in you. "
The two sisters almost vomited blood.
They were ranked second and fourth on the Famous Flowers Ranking, but this was the first time someone described them as "ordinary", and they couldn't refute it.
Gu Qingyou was already used to it. It was fine if she was angry.
Gu Caiwei pouted her crystal-like lips and came to a conclusion, "Narcissist!"
…
Yan Li walked in a secret passage as if he was taking a stroll in his own backyard.
"Aren't you afraid of being discovered?" Liumu Bingjian's Psyche was always maintained within a certain range. Everything within a radius of a thousand feet was her territory. Not even the slightest movement could escape her senses. Even so, she was still a little worried, especially when her "partner" suddenly seemed to have become her "self".
"If we were to be discovered, we would have been discovered a long time ago," Yan Li said disapprovingly.
"Where are we going?" Liumu Bingjian said.
"To 'take' the Witch God's Treasure Mirror," Yan Li said.
"Why do you use the word 'take' to describe it?" Liumu Bingjian said.
At this moment, they came to an intersection with three forks.
"Because it is to take," Yan Li said and patted Nan Zhi on his shoulder.
Nan Zhi meowed and jumped down, then walked into the middle passage.
The two followed.
Liumu Bingjian said, "Do you know something? Or did something happen during the day that I don't know about? "
"Jin Sheng was here," Yan Li said.
Liumu Bingjian smiled faintly and said, "Then you should have been chopped into pieces. Are you talking to a ghost or something?"
"So if I didn't die even then, what else is there to be afraid of?" Yan Li shrugged.
"He was really here?" Liumu Bingjian's smile gradually froze.
Yan Li said faintly, "I was already prepared for the worst. Shangguan Jinhong didn't know the whereabouts of his son, so he probably wouldn't kill me for the time being. Suffering was inevitable. I endured until you used the real person to redeem me, then I should be able to keep my life. "
"Interesting." Liumu Bingjian fell into deep thought.
After a while, she suddenly smiled and said, "In that case, your plan actually failed."
"There is no such thing as a perfect plan in this world." Yan Li spread her hands.
"Just like how you don't know the reason why Jin Sheng suddenly went crazy," Liumu Bingjian said.
"That's right," Yan Li said.
Liumu Bingjian said, "But I know."
"You know?" Yan Li said.
Liumu Bingjian said, "Because it's not just him. Anyone who loses the most important thing will go crazy."
"What did he lose?" Yan Li said.
"For example, his status," Liumu Bingjian said.
"Status?" Yan Li said.
Liumu Bingjian said, "The Lone Eagle is famous for being strict in the Dragon Emperor Residence. Jin Sheng failed consecutively, so it's almost certain that he'll be fired. "
Yan Li was shocked and said, "The Lone Eagle has this right?"
"Of course," Liumu Bingjian said.
This was unimaginable to Yan Li.
Using China as an example, it was like the Capital Governor dethroning a high official who was close to a feudal official. It sounded ridiculous.
But the person who said it wasn't ridiculous at all.
Liumu Bingjian continued, "Jin Sheng is a proud disciple of the Golden Bell Gate. His fellow disciples see him as a role model, and his clan is glorious because of him. As the saying goes, when a man achieves the Dao, his fowls and dogs will ascend to heaven. Behind a successful cultivator is an amalgamation of countless benefits. Once these people lose what they should have, they'll be enraged, and all their spears will be pointed at Jin Sheng. "
"If it were anyone else, they would probably go crazy." She let out a sigh.
"You don't look like an otherworldly master at all," Yan Li said.
"Who says I'm an otherworldly master?" Liumu Bingjian said.
Yan Li said, "Kunlun. One teacher and one disciple. It sounds very mysterious, like a sect that doesn't eat the food of the mortal world. "
Liumu Bingjian smiled faintly, "To be born, one must first enter the world. I entered the world to cultivate at the age of twelve. I've seen a lot and experienced a lot. But the more I cultivate, the more I realize how difficult it is to be born. To truly step into the 'Divine Domain', the road ahead is still very long. "
"The Divine Domain …" Yan Li's thoughts wandered.
At this moment, they arrived in front of a tightly shut stone door.
The two stopped to observe for a moment. Yan Li directly pushed, and as expected, it easily opened. A rather large stone room appeared in front of them.
"Meow!" Nan Zhi ran to a jade pillar and stone platform in the center and began to call out.
The two looked over and were both shocked. They could only see fragments of ancient bronze mirror mirrors flying in the air. Each fragment was full of divine light, exquisite and rippling, as if they could attack at any moment.
"This is the Sorcerer God's Treasure Mirror?" The two glanced at each other.
"Meow!"
Under Nan Zhi's call, those ancient bronze mirror mirrors gradually settled down and began to join together, transforming into a simple bronze mirror that was quietly placed on the stone platform.
"There should have been a seal," Liumu Bingjian said.
Yan Li nodded. "As expected of a magical artifact closest to an immortal artifact."
The two walked over. Yan Li picked it up and weighed it in his hand. He realized that it was still very heavy.
The edges of the mirror were engraved with patterns, making it look like a blazing sun from afar. The surface of the mirror was engraved with complex and ancient runes, and the bronze area in the middle was suffused with a dim light.
"But if it were an immortal artifact, we wouldn't even be able to touch it," Liumu Bingjian said with a smile.
"Why does the Sorcerer God's Treasure Mirror have clues about your parents?" Yan Li asked.
Liumu Bingjian took the mirror and turned it to the back.
The design on the back was even more complex. There were mountains, rivers, trees, birds, trees, fish, insects, the sun, moon, and stars, as well as many incomprehensible runes.
But on these inexplicably dignified and profound designs were several crooked words, like the graffiti of a child. They destroyed the solemnity of the mirror.
"Brother Chuan, I'm sorry."
Yan Li couldn't help but read these words aloud.
