Chapter 904 Courage (Fourth Update)

On the top of the mountain, there was a moment of silence.

Mu Qinglan came up so calmly, which shocked countless people's jaws.

"He, how did he get up there?"

"It seems...it seems to be going up directly? And it looks very easy, but how is this possible? The star formation around the Tongling Hall is full of dangers. Even if it is a strong domain master, going up is not an easy task. What's more, he doesn't have any scars on his body?"

"Strange, I just looked at it. When he went up, he didn't seem to be under any attack... Could it be that someone helped him?"

"How is it possible? Even Lord Wang Yan wouldn't do this... Maybe this young man is really capable?"

"Hmph, with great abilities, it's not that easy to gain a firm foothold in Tongling Sea!"

…

The people looking around were all shocked by this scene, but in fact, the people in the Tongling Hall, including Lord Wang Yan, were also very surprised.

Lord Wang Yan suppressed all the thoughts in his heart, and gave Mu Qinglan a look of approval.

The smile in Mu Qinglan's eyes deepened, and he said:

"This junior came to Tongling Sea for the first time. I saw the beautiful and magnificent scenery here, so I was greedy for a while and wanted to see more, so I wasted some time. Seniors, please don't blame me."

Of course, Mu Qinglan knew that what she did just now was easy for others to get hold of, or even make use of it, so she simply took the lead and didn't give the other party a chance to make things difficult.

— so what if she stops halfway and is late? Isn't it because your Tongling Sea is so beautiful? Besides, she wasn't late yet.

Before Venerable Wang Yan could say anything, she came up quickly.

This is something no one can fault.

Sure enough, the voices in the hall were quiet for a while, and then laughed again.

"Hahaha! It really is a young hero! The first time I went to the Tongling Palace, I was able to be so comfortable! It is worthy of being the apprentice chosen by Lord Wang Yan!"

Mu Qinglan didn't care whether the other party's compliment was sincere or false, and said with a smile:

"Predecessors are commended. These are the master's teachings, and the juniors still have a lot of shortcomings."

When it comes to acting, she's really good at it...

The gate of Tongling Hall opened slowly.

Strong coercion is coming!

Lord Wang Yan patted Mu Qinglan on the shoulder.

"Let's go!"

Mu Qinglan nodded, then followed.

…

This is a beautiful palace with grand layout and luxurious construction.

From the moment Mu Qinglan entered the hall, she immediately felt several eyes on her.

She lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes, and followed behind Venerable Wang Yan obediently.

"Haha! Lord Wang Yan, you came back in time this time! I thought you would stay outside for another two years! I didn't expect you to come back so soon, and you brought back an apprentice! You It really surprised us!"

"That's right. I thought you didn't intend to accept apprentices in this life. I didn't expect it! Judging from the situation just now, you are an excellent apprentice! No wonder you refused to accept apprentices before. It turned out that he had already been selected from the outside - he had his own heart!"

Everyone laughed.

Mu Qinglan raised her eyebrows.

These words, with thorns, are really unpleasant.

What does it mean to be picked outside?

This means that Lord Wang Yan ignores the children of the family for the sake of outsiders.

There are about seven or eight people in it, but it's hard to say how many are on their side and how many are on the opposite side.

Venerable Wang Yan laughed, and retorted in a calm manner:

"You guessed it wrong. This apprentice was not a good one before, but I met by chance. Originally, I didn't like to accept apprentices, and I always found it troublesome. You also know that. But when I met Ling After Han, he felt that it would be a good thing if he could inherit this mantle! That's why he was hired as an apprentice."

Everyone was quiet for a second, apparently they did not expect Lord Wang Yan to actually praise his apprentice like this face to face.

For a moment, the eyes that scrutinized Mu Qinglan became even more mysterious.

Mu Qinglan smiled calmly.

"Junior Mu Linghan, I have met all the seniors."

This courtesy is quite comprehensive...

The atmosphere of the crowd eased up a lot, but Mu Qinglan could tell that there were still three or four people who looked at her with disapproval.

Although Mu Qinglan climbed the mountain at an astonishing speed before and came to the Tongling Hall on the second floor, but because it went so smoothly, in fact, the people present were somewhat skeptical.

Especially after seeing her and realizing that she was only in the early stages of a lord, they were even more sure of what they thought in their hearts—it must be that Lord Wang Yan had made preparations early and helped his disciples come up.

Otherwise, how could the boy come up so easily? And the whole body is still intact?

But of course no one said that.

"Honor Wang Yan, please take your seat."

Several people present are very powerful, and Mu Qinglan can be sure that they are at least the strongest of the Lord!

But there is still no one whose strength can be compared with Lord Wang Yan.

In addition, Venerable Wang Yan had a very high status in Tongling Sea hundreds of years ago, and most of those present are actually his juniors, and he is the most qualified person to sit on it.

Lord Wang Yan did not move, but raised his eyebrows slightly, and said:

"That's unnecessary."

Although there was still a smile on the corner of his mouth, his tone had cooled down, and there was a trace of sullenness, which made everyone quiet unconsciously and looked at each other.

The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

A thin and tall man forced a smile and said, "Master Wang Yan, you are—"

"During the time I was away, didn't a lot of things happen in Tongling Sea? From my point of view, it doesn't seem to make any difference whether the deity is there or not. If this is the case, then the position of the head, whether the deity sits or not , it seems that it's not that important, right?"

What he said was very obvious, with undisguised anger and questioning, making it impossible for people to pretend to be ignorant.

The forced smile on the man's face before gradually faded away.

There was a dead silence in the arena.

Suddenly, another sturdy man with bronze skin said: "It seems that Lord Wang Yan seems to have misunderstood us..."

"Misunderstanding?" Venerable Wang Yan interrupted him, stared straight into his eyes, and asked aggressively, "The family meeting was held two years in advance, and I didn't even know about it! When you find out about this, you All the invitations have been sent out! Is this also a misunderstanding?"

"Honor Wang Yan, there's actually a reason for this...you listen to our explanation..."

Venerable Wang Yan nodded: "Okay! I'll just listen to your explanation! See if I can come up with an excuse that satisfies me!"

He had not concealed his anger at this time, and his whole body exuded an extremely dangerous aura. Even Mu Qinglan had never seen him like this.

"...This...this..." The thin and tall man who answered the conversation just now hesitated to speak, "According to the usual practice, the family meeting is held once every ten years, but... this time, there is indeed a special reason for bringing it forward..."

Lord Wang Yan didn't speak, just looked at him condescendingly, with sarcasm in his eyes.

reason?

All reasons are false!

It is clear that the underworld faction can no longer hold back and wants to take power in advance!

Now, they are becoming more and more arrogant, and they can't even bear it for two years!

Taking advantage of him not being in Tonglinghai, he cut first and played later, bringing the entire family meeting ahead of schedule!

They even secretly sent invitations first, and informed the entire summit of the gods!

In this way, even if Wang Yan found out and hurried back, he couldn't cancel it!

The thoughts of this group of people have been completely uncovered, and they still want to say a reason to excuse themselves?

joke!

Lord Wang Yan's expression became more and more severe, and the voice of the tall and thin man gradually became quieter.

"...in the clan... the affairs in the clan are in trouble, and you have been absent, so we thought, why not go ahead two years in advance, so that even if you are not in Tonglinghai, someone in the clan can still sit in charge..."

Mu Qinglan was listening, although it was only a few words, but she had already guessed the general idea.

There are two sects in Tongling Sea, one is Ming School and the other is Yang School.

Although these two forces are members of an ethnic group in Tonglinghai, they have always been in opposition to each other.

Tonglinghai holds a family meeting every ten years to select the faction in power. If which faction is in power, it will have stronger power in this decade.

And Lord Wang Yan belongs to the Yang faction.

Before he came back, it was actually the Yang faction that was in power, but in the past few years, many of the backbone of the Yang faction have encountered accidents, so that now the Yang faction has withered as a whole, and its power is slightly inferior to that of the Nether faction. .

Ming faction has long wanted to seize the throne in advance.

Before this, they had already made a plan, and they were waiting to do it, but they didn't expect Lord Wang Yan to come back!

His return this time is naturally a great help for the Yang faction, which made the plans of the Ming faction run aground several times.

But they have planned for this for a long time, and they are still unwilling to give up in the end, so even if they are willing to risk the anger of Lord Wang Yan, they must insist on doing so!

Now, the family meeting is about to begin, and the battle for power of the underworld faction is coming soon!

"...Lord Wang Yan, you have been away from Tongling Sea for hundreds of years. In fact, there have been many changes in the clan over the years, and you don't know much about them. So sometimes, you may not be able to solve them perfectly...so..."

So, they simply did it.

Mu Qinglan twitched the corner of her mouth.

Who gave these people the courage to speak face to face with a lord like Wang Yan like this?

The review took a little longer, okay? As for the fifth watch...it should be better tomorrow
