"One family and three Dukes?" Lu Xingkong's lips curved in a mocking smile. "The Peacock King has offered a good price."
"I know that Duke Lu does not like undeserved fame, but your son Lu Qingming, your grandson Lu Tianyu, and the youngster named Li Muyang — — one family and three Dukes, how illustrious is that? Even if the divine continent is unified, and the nine countries return to one, the Lu clan would still be one of the richest families in the world. Duke Lu, do you really not want to think about it? "
"My son is honest and steadfast, knows a little about military affairs, and is only average in government affairs. I, Sun Tianyu, am naturally mischievous, it is suitable to be a rich and idle person, but being in a high position would harm him. As for my other grandson Muyang, the world knows that he only seeks freedom and immortality — — what's the use of the Duke position? "
After a pause, the black-robed old man continued: "Besides, the Peacock King should know that as long as I am alive, in the West Wind Kingdom, my words carry enormous weight, and no one dares to disobey. Although the Peacock King is above tens of thousands of people, but in the West Wind Kingdom, my Lu clan is no different from the royal family — — Master and servant, master and servant, master and servant. No matter how high a servant's status is, they are still servants. Why not be the Unrestrained King of the West Wind Kingdom? "
"Hahaha — —" The Peacock King burst into laughter, looking at the black-robed elder Lu Xingkong in front of him. "Duke Lu really thinks so?"
"Why not?"
"If it was before, it would not be bad for Duke Lu to be the rich and idle King of the West Wind Kingdom. But now the situation is different. The nine countries are at war, and most of the West Wind land has fallen into the hands of the Peacock King. How long does Duke Lu think this Unrestrained King can last? "
Lu Xingkong raised his brows, asking: "What? The Peacock King thinks you can take down my West Wind? "
"It's not a question of whether I can or not, but I must. No matter what the price is. Not only the West Wind, but the other countries will fall into my hands — — "The Peacock King said in a loud and clear voice, brimming with confidence, as though plucking the world's rivers and mountains was as easy as taking something out of a bag. "Duke Lu is one of the smartest people in the world, it's impossible that you can't understand the current situation?"
"I don't think so." Lu Xingkong said.
"Oh." The corners of the Peacock King's mouth curled into a mocking smile as he said, "I heard that Master Lu has the nickname of 'Sand Eagle'. People say that his mind is firm and his wisdom is as vast as the sea. If Master Lu forcefully refutes Bo Yan's words in order to oppose him, then Bo Yan will look down on him …"
"The Peacock King asked me about the current situation, I also want to ask the Peacock King about the current situation. Don't tell me the Peacock King can't see that the Peacock Imperial Court is now in a deadlock with internal and external troubles?"
"I would like to hear the details."
"Number one, the Peacock King single-handedly conquers the Divine Prefecture. Although he has the help of the Dark Flame Empire, he is after all someone who is used to being a master. Would the Lin family of the Dark Flame Empire be willing to become a subject of the Peacock King? Even if the Black Flame King was willing, the soldiers of the Black Flame Empire might not be willing. If the general doesn't put his heart into it, and the soldiers don't need their lives, I'm afraid the strength of this support will be extremely limited. "
"Secondly, the Peacock King just said that most of the territory of the West Wind Kingdom has fallen into the hands of the Peacock. Not only West Wind, but other countries were also in the same situation. Since the beginning of the Peacock army, they have been invincible and have never lost a battle. However, at the same time, a problem has arisen. The more places they have occupied, the more places the Peacock Imperial Court needs to divide their forces. Everyone knows that the Peacock Imperial Court has a large number of soldiers, but how many can continue to fight against the Peacock King? With those soldiers, can the Peacock King continue to maintain an undefeated record? "
"As for the third problem, I didn't want to mention it, for fear of adding to the Peacock King's worries. However, since the Peacock King asked, I can't not answer — — I heard that the Peacock Imperial Court's Princess Qiandu has disappeared without a trace, and even now she has not been found — — Everyone knows that the Peacock King loves his daughter, the Peacock King must be burning with anxiety right now, right? Moreover, the disappearance of the Princess Qiandu, most likely some people of the Peacock Imperial Court also have some thoughts? Who told the Peacock King to only have one precious daughter? "
"That makes sense." Ying Boyan did not argue with Lu Xingkong, nodded. "What about external troubles? Is Duke Lu going to give me a list as well? "
"There is only one external trouble." Lu Xingkong said in a low voice. "It is those three-eyed demons from the abyss."
"Boyan thinks so too."
"In that case, the Peacock King still has the confidence to unify the divine continent?"
"Listening to Duke Lu's words, Boyan still wants to unify the divine continent." Ying Boyan said with a smile. "Let's not talk about internal troubles first, it is this external trouble, let us chase after the stars and the moon, time does not wait for me. As long as the power of the divine continent is gathered, we can compete with those ugly guys from the abyss. Does Duke Lu think what I said makes sense? "
"You also said that there is such a thing to deceive the Dean?"
"What kind of wise person is the Dean? How could he be deceived by me? Boyan used reason and emotion to make the Dean accept my point of view, and then agreed to help me make an appointment with Duke Lu — — So, Duke Lu and I can have the opportunity to sit here and drink tea. "Ying Boyan picked up the broken bowl in front of him and took a sip.
Then, he raised the bowl to Lu Xingkong and said, "The tea is still warm, I would like to toast Duke Lu?"
Lu Xingkong sat motionless.
Ying Boyan was not in a hurry, holding the broken bowl and waiting in the air.
After a long while.
Lu Xingkong finally picked up the broken bowl in front of him and gulped down the water inside in one gulp.

Starry Sky Academy. Stargazing building.
Lu Qiji stood on the roof of the Stargazing building, watching the mountain stream shrouded in clouds and mist, the red Nujiang surging endlessly, the red waves tumbling.
For tens of thousands of years, the mountain was still the same mountain, the clouds were still the clouds, and the Nujiang had not changed in the slightest.
However, the world did not know, they did not know that at the bottom of the Nujiang, the Yin and Yang boundary stone that protected the human race was about to be breached by the demon race.
The Yin and Yang boundary stone was erected by the dragon, and it was at the sacrifice of the entire dragon race that the human race had been safe for tens of thousands of years — — What if there was another catastrophe?
"Li Muyang — —" Lu Qiji chewed on the name, softly calling out: "Where are you?"
Li Muyang was missing.
He disappeared with the Princess Royal of the Peacock Imperial Court.
There were many rumours in the outside world, some said that he had gone into seclusion with the Princess Royal, some said that they both died in the battle, and some said that they were swept into a domain unknown to the world and would never come out again — —
However, Lu Qiji knew that he must still be alive, must be somewhere.
She could feel it.
Just that, when the divine continent is in trouble, will he stand up again?
"No matter what, I can't let them break the boundary — —" Lu Qiji's eyes were resolute, silently saying to herself in her heart: "The boundary cannot be broken, the boundary stone cannot be broken, the demon race — — cannot come in."
Lu Qiji clenched her teeth, then rushed to the Stargazing building, and with the tip of her foot, she heavily kicked the 'demon alarm bell' that had been hanging for tens of thousands of years.
Clang!
Clang!
Clang!
※ ※ ※
The copper bell rang nine times, the sound resounding throughout Starry Sky Academy.
Then it spread to the entire Broken Mountain, the Nujiang in the distance, and even the entire Flower Language Plains.
Crash — —
Starry Sky Academy was alarmed, countless people were flocking in the direction of the Stargazing building.
"What's going on? Why did the 'demon alarm bell' suddenly ring? "
"Could it be the demon race invading? The demon race has not invaded, the 'demon alarm bell' should not be rung for no reason — — "
"The demon race has invaded — — the demon race has invaded — —"
※ ※ ※
At this time, dawn had just arrived and the sky was turning white.
It was the time when the teachers and students of Starry Sky Academy were sleeping or cultivating. Upon hearing the sound of the demon alarm bell, one after another leapt out from the deep mountains, forests, caves, courtyards or their beds. Everyone's faces were filled with confusion and shock.
The demon race, the legendary demon race — — had really invaded?
Yang Xiaohu did not sleep all night, he was at the critical moment of breaking the wall, and did not attend class during this period of time. Of course, there was nothing to attend class, because almost all the students in the class had left.
Li Muyang's dragon identity had been exposed, and the Dragon Slayer course of Starry Sky Academy had become a huge joke — — The Dragon Slayer course had produced a little dragon, how could they explain this matter?
Yang Xiaohu also felt wronged, okay? When that Li Muyang came in — — who could tell he was a dragon?
Li Muyang left, Ying Qiandu left, Lu Qiji left, Chu Xun left, and several other students also returned to their countries because of the war of the nine countries — —
Yang Xiaohu had become a teacher with no followers, so he simply focused on cultivating. When he inadvertently read a book called [Collection of Flowers and Birds], the fire in his dantian lit up, the sea of qi was boiling, and there were signs of breaking the wall again.
Yang Xiaohu was overjoyed, immediately closed his door to cultivate. Before he had broken the boundary, he heard the ear-piercing bell ringing.
He flicked his long sleeves and sprinted over to the stargazing building at lightning speed.
By the time Yang Xiaohu arrived, there were already countless Starry Sky teachers and students gathered at the Stargazing Square in front of the stargazing building.
Everyone looked up, wanting to know why the demon alarm bell had rung out for no reason.
There were also people flying towards the top of the stargazing building, wanting to find out and give everyone an answer.
"Oh, Teacher Yang is here." Kong Li still had that arrogant and haughty look, looking at Yang Xiaohu with disdain. "I heard that Teacher Yang is cultivating in seclusion, are you going to step into the Starry Sky realm?"
"Teacher Kong must be joking." Yang Xiaohu hurriedly bowed to Kong Li. "It's just that I have some enlightenment, so I have not come out yet. Teacher Kong also knows that Xiaohu has just stepped into the Withered Glory realm, to reach the Starry Sky is as difficult as ascending to the sky. Teacher Kong and Teacher Xiahou have the greatest chance. "
"You two are bickering, why are you dragging me into it?" Xiahou Qianbai swung his robe and leisurely rushed over, glaring at Yang Xiaohu with dissatisfaction. "Who doesn't know that you broke the boundary by reading books, and that you have a promising future. Since ancient times, those who broke the boundary by reading books, writing poems, and painting, which one of them is not a genius? Which one of them is not the most dazzling existence under the Starry Sky? We have worked hard to cultivate, but we are not as good as someone reading a few books — — Really, comparing people to people is odious, comparing goods to goods is odious. "
"I dare not, Teacher Xiahou — — Xiaohu is laughing at me." Yang Xiaohu repeatedly bowed. "Both of you were Xiaohu's teachers, Xiaohu will always be a disciple of Teacher Kong and Teacher Xiahou."
Thinking that bullying this bookworm was very boring, Kong Li glanced at Xiahou Qianbai and said: "Do you know why the Demon Alarm Bell rang for no reason?"
"Do you know?" Xiahou Qianbai raised his eyes to the sky and asked aloud.
"I don't know."
"Then wait and see." Xiahou Qianbai said. "If the Demon Race invades, it will not be as calm as this. Could it be an ignorant student deliberately ringing the demon alarm bell? "
"How could an ignorant student ring the demon alarm bell? To be able to ring the demon alarm bell is naturally not an ignorant person — — "
At this moment, high up in the sky, an old teacher shouted at the stargazing pavilion: "Who rang the bell?"
Huo — —
Above the pavilion, a beautiful woman with purple hair and purple eyes in a white robe appeared on the windowsill.
"Lu Qiji."
