Chapter 1227 Special Ally

"Half an hour ago."

Xuanyuan Lingwei's expression changed, and she couldn't help shouting: "If we set out half an hour ago, the fourth brother might not have been killed yet. If we rush there now, we might be able to save the fourth brother!"

Seeing Xuanyuan Lingwei's anxious look, Liang Yan had a calm expression, waved his hand and said, "Your Highness, please be patient. According to Yilu, Xuanyuan Qi is not in danger of his life for the time being."

"Huh?" Xuanyuan Lingwei frowned, but after thinking about it carefully, she quickly understood what Liang Yan meant.

In the final analysis, this partisan dispute is still a power struggle between her and the second prince Xuanyuan Haoyu, and Xuanyuan Qi's life and death will have little impact on the overall situation.

The reason why the second prince captured Xuanyuan Qi was just to hope that he would not help Xuanyuan Lingwei, and having such a hostage in hand would also give him an extra layer of protection.

As long as Xuanyuan Lingwei doesn't show up for one day, Xuanyuan Qi will not die.

"However, even if the fourth brother is not in danger for the time being, we cannot sit idly by and ignore his arrest. After all, the fourth brother still has a lot of evidence that can help us testify against the second brother!" Xuanyuan Lingwei said with a firm face. .

"Of course, I didn't say not to help him. I just need to find out the details of my opponent before taking action."

Liang Yan pondered for a moment, then turned to look at Cao Ying and asked: "Shopkeeper Cao, you run Chunfeng Tea House here and are Xuanyuan Qi's backbone. You must be well-informed, but do you know that there are still people around the second prince?" Who are the masters?”

"this."

Cao Ying thought about it while replying: "Xuanyuan Haoyu himself has the cultivation level of the middle stage of Tongxuan, and there are many experts around him. But three days ago, it seemed that in order to capture His Highness, he had already sent out the experts around him. Most of the time, even Tianwei Divine General has dispatched troops. Now beside Xuanyuan Haoyu, there are at least nine true monarchs in Tongxuan Realm. Ancestors above Huajie Realm, in addition to Confucian Divine General Ling Chongxiao, there are also There is a mysterious 'Lo God'."

"Is there another one?" Liang Yan frowned slightly.

You must know that the monks in the Transformation Tribulation Realm are all ancestors of one party, and they can be said to dominate one party. Before coming here, he guessed that Xuanyuan Haoyu might only have the "Confucian God General" around him, but he didn't expect that with all the masters available, there would be another monk in the Tribulation Realm next to him!

"Xuanyuan Haoyu's background is really profound."

Liang Yan thought to himself, and then asked: "Shopkeeper Cao, who is the origin of this 'Luo Shen'? What is his strength? How many difficulties have he overcome?"

He asked several questions in a row, but Cao Ying looked troubled, shook his head and said, "Cao doesn't know this. In fact, the existence of 'Luo Shen' is not the information collected by our Chunfeng Tea House, but His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince told us. According to him, this 'Luo Shen' is very mysterious. She is not a local monk in Xuanyuan Territory, but comes from outside the territory, but she is regarded as a guest by Xuanyuan Haoyu and respects her very much!"

After hearing Cao Ying's answer, Liang Yan's frown deepened.

Things were far more complicated than I expected.

If there was only Confucian God General, the opponent was seriously injured in the battle at Luofeng Temple, and was invaded by Jingyuan's evil spirit. It would take seven or eight days to recover. And I have suppressed most of the evil energy in my body with "Eight Divisions of Evolution". With one ebbing and another ebbing and flowing, I can defeat the opponent in less than a hundred moves.

But now there is a "Luo Shen" with mysterious origin, which makes Liang Yan feel hesitant.

If the other party is just a monk who has just overcome the first and second difficulties, then he will not be afraid of facing the two of them. But if the other party, like Ling Chongxiao, is also a monk who has overcome the first disaster, then he will definitely not be afraid of this trip. Can't get better.

"With our current strength, we cannot say that we are sure of victory. We must find some more allies." After a long silence, Liang Yan suddenly sent a message to Xuanyuan Lingwei.

"Allies?" Xuanyuan Lingwei raised her brows slightly, glanced at Cao Ying, and secretly sent a message to ask: "Brother Liang, didn't we already look for him just now? The Wenxiang Chamber of Commerce is unwilling to take action, and the Qingyun Chamber of Commerce is banned. The Jialan Chamber of Commerce has been arrested, and now looking at the entire Guangling City, no one can help us."

Liang Yan smiled slightly after hearing this.

"Your Highness, you have forgotten someone."

"who?"

"The Lord of Guangling City, Zhu Youqing!"

"he?!"

Xuanyuan Lingwei's eyes widened, as if she couldn't believe it.

"Brother Liang, are you kidding? Three days ago, you had a battle with him at Luofeng Temple. I remember that Zhu Youqing was hit by your sword energy. He is still recovering from his injuries, so how can he help us?"

"This time, that time."

Liang Yan shook his head and said through the message: "Princess, you don't know. Just now, I pretended to be Guo Tong and tricked Lin Dong along the way. I learned that Zhu Youqing is now under house arrest in his own city lord's palace. He is the deputy sect leader of Haotian Sect. , I don’t want to involve the sect in the royal struggle, but I don’t want to offend the second prince. If the second prince gains power, then the life of Haotian Sect may not be easy in the future.”

"You're saying that he doesn't want to see his second brother take power now. If we persuade him, he will probably help us?"

After listening to Liang Yan's analysis, Xuanyuan Lingwei's eyes lit up, with a hint of excitement on her face.

"This is just a possibility." Liang Yan's face remained unchanged, and he still said through voice transmission: "Just in case, you stay here, and I will go alone to meet the Lord of Guangling City for a while, and I will act according to the opportunity. .”

"That's okay, then Brother Lao Liang will do it!" Xuanyuan Lingwei nodded.

The communication between her and Liang Yan was all done through sound transmission. Although the two of them had already decided on a strategy, the people around them, including Tan Youli, Zishan and Cao Ying, were unaware of it.

"Shopkeeper Cao."

After finishing the transmission, Liang Yan turned his head, looked at Cao Ying, and said, "Before the fourth prince left, did he tell you where in Guangling City he was going to attend the banquet?"

"No, the Fourth Highness was taken away by Xuanyuan Haoyu's envoy. Even he himself didn't know where exactly." Cao Ying shook his head, his face looking very ugly.

"There is no need to worry about this." Xuanyuan Lingwei said at this time: "After these few days of hard work, I have completely tamed the Rakshasa Demonic Cow. As long as I cast a spell to make it remember the spiritual roots of Yew, it will soon be Tracking the second brother’s location.”

"good!"

Liang Yan nodded and said: "In that case, then you all stay here and cast spells to control the Rakshasa Demonic Cow. As for Lu, go out now and come back in half an hour!"

He and Xuanyuan Lingwei had already made a plan, but they didn't say it clearly at this time. Cao Ying saw this and was very sensible and didn't ask any more questions. He just cupped his hands and said, "Fellow Taoist, go ahead with peace of mind. We will fight to the death to protect the safety of the Sixth Princess!" "

"Here comes the shopkeeper, Cao Cao!"

Liang Yan returned the gift with his hand, and after saying goodbye, he turned around and left the Chunfeng Tea House.

The tea house and the City Lord's Mansion are both in the north of the city, and the distance is not too far. After Liang Yan came out, he picked out the small streets and alleys and arrived near the City Lord's Mansion not long after walking.

I saw a magnificent white palace with hundreds of monks patrolling around it. However, these monks were all wearing silver armor. They were obviously no longer from the city lord's palace, but monks from the Xuanyuan Army.

Liang Yan observed from a distance for a long time, and suddenly raised his hand to perform a magic spell. The entire figure turned into a gray light, taking advantage of the patrol of hundreds of monks, and disappeared into the high wall of the white palace from the middle.

The moment the gray light entered, subtle ripples were produced in the surrounding restrictions, but this ripple was so small that even the monks patrolling nearby were not aware of it.

The next moment, countless fine sword energies emerged from the gray light, like drizzle, instantly smoothing out the surrounding restricted fluctuations.

To say that the restrictions in the City Lord's Mansion are extraordinary, even if a monk from the Transformation Realm comes, he may not be able to sneak in silently.

But Liang Yan stepped into the Sword Infant Realm, and with every move he made, everything could be turned into a sword. Just now, he condensed the water-shaped energy around him and turned it into fine water swords. In just a moment, he suppressed the fluctuations caused by the restriction, without even a trace of breath leaking out.

After Liang Yan sneaked into the city lord's mansion, he didn't show up. He used the Tianji Pearl to hide his aura and walked directly through the wall.

In about a few breaths, he arrived outside a separate courtyard. It was quite quiet here. No servants entered the place, but he could vaguely hear the sound of someone talking.

Liang Yan's expression moved slightly, and he quietly approached the other courtyard, only to hear a rough voice coming from inside:

"His grandma is a bitch! That kid bullies others too much! In terms of Taoism and practice, he has just entered the middle stage of Tongxuan, why should he point fingers at me? I really can't stand this bitch!"

As soon as he finished speaking, someone next to him sighed: "Brother Ouyang, please say a few words. In the current situation, as long as His Majesty does not leave the confinement, the power of the second prince is enough to cover the sky with one hand. Be careful that trouble comes from his mouth!"

"Hmph, I'm afraid he will do something! This is the city lord's palace, and there are restrictions around it. How can he grow an ear here?" The rough voice from before muttered, but his confidence was obviously lacking.

When Liang Yan heard this, his heart moved. He suppressed his aura with the Tianji Bead and quietly jumped onto the wall.

Looking around, I saw five people standing in the other courtyard. One of them was a middle-aged man with a slightly bald head and scars on his face, and a terrifying appearance.

It was this person who spoke first just now.

There were four people standing beside him, including a young man with a long sword on his back, an old man with gray hair and a childlike face, and two beautiful young women, one charming and the other beautiful.

Among these five people, the one with the worst cultivation is the pretty and lovely female cultivator, but she is also in the early stage of Tongxuan, and the other four are at least in the late stage of Tongxuan.

Liang Yan lay on the high wall and listened patiently for a few words. He found that almost everyone in the courtyard was venting their dissatisfaction with Xuanyuan Haoyu. Among them, the rough man was the most excited. At this time, he turned around and walked towards the courtyard. shouted from one of the attics:

"City Master Zhu, now Xuanyuan Haoyu covers the sky with one hand, and even Guangling City has not spared it. He has uprooted all our foundations here. How will the seven northwest sects develop in this way? City Master Zhu, please come forward and uphold justice for us!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the octogenarian old man with gray hair and boyish face next to him also spoke: "Brother Ouyang Daoist is right! City Lord Zhu, Xuanyuan Haoyu will definitely retaliate. He suppressed our seven northwest sects because of that little misunderstanding back then. Our seven sects If the same energy connects the branches, if this continues, it will be very detrimental to the Haotian Sect."

"snort!"

There was a cold snort from the attic, and after a while, the two wooden doors were slowly pushed open, and an old man of half a hundred years, dressed in brocade clothes and wearing a bead curtain and feather crown, walked out in a hurry.

Zhu Youqing!

Liang Yan on the high wall narrowed his eyes. The old man coming out of the house was exactly the target he was looking for on this trip.

At this moment, Zhu Youqing's razor-like gaze swept across the crowd, and finally he sighed and said: "Xuanyuan Haoyu has gained power, do you think I feel good? Think about when Xuanyuan Haoyu and Xuanyuan Lingwei fought with each other, we can still do it We remain neutral, but the power of the Sixth Princess has been gradually disintegrated over the years, and now the Xuanyuan Haoyu family is the only one. Back then, our Seven Northwest Sects offended Xuanyuan Haoyu, and now they have to settle the score!"

As soon as he said this, everyone present looked dim. After a moment of silence, the plump and charming female cultivator suddenly said: "No matter how strong Xuanyuan Haoyu is, in the final analysis, he is only in the middle stage of Tongxuan, and Zhu City Lord, you are already the ancestor of the Transformation Tribulation Realm, doesn’t he even give you face?”

"Haha, Elder Yun, do you really not understand or do you pretend not to understand?"

Zhu Youqing showed a strange look on his face and sighed: "Now Guangling City is no longer under the control of me, the city lord. When you came in, didn't you see so many Xuanyuan troops outside? Xuanyuan Haoyu said on the surface To put it nicely, these Xuanyuan troops came here to act as guards while I was recovering from my injuries, haha, but they weren’t actually here to monitor and place me under house arrest?”

After hearing Zhu Youqing's words, the faces of the five people present were extremely ugly.

"He doesn't even pay attention to City Lord Zhu now. It seems that the good days of our seven northwest sects are coming to an end," the young man carrying a long sword said in a harsh voice.

"That's not necessarily the case!"

A voice suddenly sounded from outside the yard.

"who?!"

The faces of the five monks in the Tongxuan Realm changed slightly. They turned around and looked in the direction of the entrance of the courtyard. They saw a man in gray clothes walking slowly into the courtyard.

"Who are you? What's your motive for daring to sneak into the city lord's mansion?!" The young man carrying a long sword was the first to shout.

"Hmph, what nonsense are you talking to him about? With such a suspicious person, we need to capture him first!"

The rugged man took a step forward, held a spell in his hand, and was about to use his magical power when he heard a deep voice behind him shout:

"Everyone stop it!"

The five people in the courtyard were slightly startled, and turned around to look around. They saw that Zhu Youqing was not angry, but had a solemn expression on his face. He cupped his hands towards the visitor and said:

"Fellow Taoist, you are well. We said goodbye in a hurry last time, and you still don't know your surname?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present looked horrified, with only one thought in their minds:

"Did I hear you correctly? This talent is only in the middle stage of Tongxuan, and City Lord Zhu actually calls him 'fellow Taoist?'"
