"Half an hour ago..."

Xuanyuan Lingwei's expression changed, and she couldn't help shouting: "If it was only half an hour ago, then the fourth brother might not have been killed. Let's rush now, maybe we can save the fourth brother!"

Seeing Xuanyuan Lingwei's anxious appearance, Liang Yan's face was calm, he waved his hands and said, "His Royal Highness, please be patient, according to Lu, Xuanyuan Qi will not be in danger of life for the time being."

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

In the end, this faction dispute was still a struggle for power between her and the second prince Xuanyuan Haoyu, and Xuanyuanqi's life and death had little effect on the overall situation.

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

As long as Xuanyuan Lingwei doesn't show up for a day, Xuanyuanqi won't die.

"But...... Even if the fourth brother is not in danger of his life for the time being, we can't just sit idly by and ignore his arrest. After all, the fourth brother still has a lot of evidence in hand, which can help us to testify against the second brother! "Xuanyuan Lingwei said firmly.

"Naturally, I didn't say no to help him, but before acting, I must first find out the details of the opponent."

Liang Yan pondered for a while, then turned his head to look at Cao Ying, and asked, "Master Cao, you are running the Spring Breeze Tea House here, and you are Xuanyuanqi's secret stake. Who are the masters?"

"this........"

While thinking about it, Cao Ying replied: "Xuanyuan Haoyu himself has the cultivation base of the middle stage of Tongxuan, and there are many masters beside him...but three days ago, it seemed that he was trying to capture His Highness. Most of the masters around him have been sent out, and even the mighty generals of Tianwei have led troops out. Now beside Xuanyuan Haoyu, there are at least nine true masters of the Tongxuan Realm, and the ancestors above the Transformation Tribulation Realm, except Confucianism In addition to the **** general Ling Chongxiao, there is also a mysterious 'Luo Shen'."

"There's another one?" Liang Yan frowned slightly.

You must know that the monks in the Transformation Tribulation Realm are all the ancestors of one side, so they can be said to dominate one side. Before coming here, he guessed that Xuanyuan Haoyu probably had only the "Confucian God General" beside him, but he didn't expect that when all the masters were out, there was another monk who was in the Tribulation Realm beside him!

"The background of Xuanyuan Haoyu is really profound......"

Liang Yan thought to himself, and then asked, "Shopkeeper Cao, what 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 showed embarrassment, shook his head and said: "This Cao is not clear, in fact, the existence of 'Luo Shen' is not the information collected by our Spring Breeze Tea House, but His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince told us. According to him, this 'God of Luo' is very mysterious, not a local cultivator from the Xuanyuan domain, but from outside the domain, but Xuanyuan Haoyu regards her as a guest of honor and respects her very much!"

After hearing Cao Ying's answer, Liang Yan frowned even deeper.

Things are far more complicated than I expected.

If it was only Confucian God General alone, the other party was severely injured in the battle at Luofeng Temple, and Jing Yuan's evil spirit invaded his body, and he would not be able to recover within seven or eight days. And I used "Babu Yanyuan" to suppress most of the evil energy in my body, and under the ebb and flow of each other, I can defeat the opponent in less than a hundred moves.

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

If the other party is just a monk who has just passed the first and second disasters, then I am not afraid of facing the two of them, but if the other party is a monk who has survived the first disaster like Ling Chongxiao, then this trip is absolutely worthless. Can't please.

"With our current strength, we can't be sure of winning. We need to find more allies." After a long silence, Liang Yan suddenly said to Xuanyuan Lingwei.

"Allies?" Xuanyuan Lingwei frowned slightly, glanced at Cao Ying, and asked secretly: "Brother Liang, didn't we already look for it just now? Wenxiang Chamber of Commerce is unwilling to make a move, and Qingyun Chamber of Commerce is grounded. The Jialan Chamber of Commerce was arrested...Now looking at the entire Guangling City, there is no one who can help us."

After hearing this, Liang Yan smiled slightly.

"Your Highness, you have forgotten one person."

"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 joking? Three days ago, you fought him in Luofeng Temple. I remember that Zhu Youqing was swept away by your sword energy. I'm afraid he is still recovering from his injuries. How could he help us?"

"This time, that time."

Liang Yan shook his head, and said via voice transmission: "Princess, I don't know. Just now I pretended to be Guo Tong, and told Lin Dong along the way, and learned that Zhu Youqing is now under house arrest in his own city lord's mansion. He is the deputy lord of the 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 days of their Haotian sect may be difficult in the future.”

"You mean...... He doesn't want to see the second brother take power now, if we go to persuade him, it is very likely to help us?"

After hearing Liang Yan's analysis, Xuanyuan Lingwei's eyes lit up, and a hint of excitement appeared on his 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 then play by ear .”

"That's okay, then Brother Laoliang will be there!" Xuanyuan Lingwei nodded.

The communication between her and Liang Yan was all through the technique of sound transmission. Although the two had already made a strategy, the people around them, including Tan Youli, Yeshan and Cao Ying, didn't know about it.

"Treasurer Cao."

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

"No, His Highness Fourth was taken away by Xuanyuan Haoyu's envoys, and he doesn't even know the exact location." Cao Ying shook her head with a very ugly expression on her face.

"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 cow. As long as I cast a spell to make it remember the yew's spiritual root, it will soon be able to Tracking the location of the second brother."

"good!"

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

He and Xuanyuan Lingwei had already decided on a plan, but they didn't say it clearly at this time, Cao Ying was very sensible and didn't ask any more questions, just cupped his hands and said: "Fellow Daoist, don't worry, we will fight to the death to protect the safety of the sixth princess! "

"I'm sorry, Manager Cao!"

Liang Yan bowed his hands and saluted, and after taking his leave, he turned around and left the Spring Breeze Tea House.

Both the tea house and the City Lord's Mansion are in the north of the city, and the distance is not too far. After Liang Yan came out, he picked the small streets and alleys and came to the vicinity of the City Lord's Mansion after a short walk.

I saw a magnificent white palace surrounded by hundreds of monks patrolling, but these monks were all wearing silver armor, obviously they were not from the City Lord's Mansion, but monks from the Xuanyuan Army.

Liang Yan watched from a distance for a long time, then suddenly raised his hand and pinched a magic formula, his whole figure turned into a gray light, taking advantage of hundreds of monks patrolling, and submerged into the high wall of the white palace from the middle.

The moment the gray light entered, the surrounding restraints produced slight ripples, but the circle of ripples was so small that even the monks patrolling nearby didn't notice it.

In the next moment, countless fine sword energy emerged from the gray light, like drizzle, smoothing the surrounding forbidden fluctuations in an instant.

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

But when Liang Yan stepped into the Sword Infant Realm, with every gesture, everything can be a sword. Just now, he condensed the water-shaped air around him and turned it into fine water swords. He suppressed the fluctuations caused by the restriction in just a moment, without a trace of breath leaking out at all.

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

After about a few breaths, he came to another courtyard. The place was quite quiet, no servants entered this 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 bird! That kid is too deceitful! In terms of Taoism, he has just entered the middle stage of Tongxuan, so why should he dictate to me? I really can't stand this birdishness!"

As soon as the words fell, someone beside him sighed: "Brother Ouyang, please don't say a few words. In the current situation, as long as His Majesty does not leave the customs, the power of the second prince is enough to cover the sky with one hand. Be careful that trouble comes out of your mouth!"

"Hmph, what are you afraid of him doing! This is the city lord's mansion, and there are restrictions all around, can he still 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 breath with the Tianji Pearl, 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 his appearance was terrifying.

It was this person who was the first to speak just now.

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

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

Liang Yan lay on the high wall, listened patiently, and found that almost all the people in the yard were venting their dissatisfaction with Xuanyuan Haoyu, among them the rough man was the most excited, he turned around and walked towards the courtyard. One of the attics shouted:

"City Lord Zhu, now that Xuanyuan Haoyu is covering the sky with one hand, even Guangling City will not let go, and all our foundations here have been uprooted. How will this make our Northwest Seven Sects develop? Please also ask City Lord Zhu to come forward and uphold justice for us!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the old man with white hair and childlike face also said: "Brother Ouyang is right! City Lord Zhu, Xuanyuan Haoyu must report his flaws, and he suppressed our Northwest Seven Sects just because of that little misunderstanding back then. Our seven sects are united in spirit, if things go on like this, I'm afraid it will be very detrimental to the Haotian Sect."

"snort!"

A cold snort came from inside the attic, and after a while, the two wooden doors were slowly pushed open, and an old man of half a hundred wearing brocade clothes and a beaded curtain and feather crown walked out at a galloping pace.

Zhu Youqing!

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

At this moment, Zhu Youqing glanced across the crowd like a blade, but finally he sighed and said, "Xuanyuan Haoyu has gained power, do you think I feel better? Thinking back when Xuanyuan Haoyu and Xuanyuan Lingwei fought each other, we can still Remain neutral, but the power of the Sixth Princess has been gradually disintegrated over the years, and Xuanyuan Haoyu's family is now the only one. Our Northwest Seven Sects offended Xuanyuan Haoyu back then, and now they are going to settle the score!"

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

"Hehe~lightnovelpub.net~Elder Yun, do you really not understand or are you pretending not to understand?"

A strange look appeared on Zhu Youqing's face, and he sighed: "The current Guangling City is no longer under the control of the old man. When you came in, didn't you see so many Xuanyuan troops outside? Xuanyuan Haoyu said on the surface It sounds nice, these Xuanyuan troops came here to act as guards while the old man was convalescing, hehe, didn’t they come to monitor and put the old man under house arrest?”

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

"He doesn't even look down on City Lord Zhu now. It seems that the good times of our Northwest Seven Sects are coming to an end..." The young man with a long knife on his back said shyly.

"That's not necessarily the case!"

A voice suddenly sounded from outside the yard.

"who?!"

The expressions of the five cultivators at the Tongxuan Realm changed slightly. They turned around one after another and looked towards the entrance of the courtyard. They saw a man in gray clothes and long gown walking slowly into the courtyard.

"Who are you? How dare you sneak into the city lord's mansion, what are your intentions?!" The young man with a long knife shouted first.

"Hmph, what are you talking about with him? This kind of suspicious person, let's capture him first!"

The rough man took a step forward, pinched a formula in his hand, and was about to use his supernatural powers, but he heard a deep voice behind him shouting:

"Stop!"

The five people in the courtyard were all taken aback for a moment, and turned around to look at the same time. Instead of being angry, Zhu Youqing had a serious expression on his face. He cupped his hands at the visitor and said:

"Fellow Daoist, don't come here unharmed. The last time we had a hasty farewell, you still don't know your name?"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone present looked horrified, and there was only one thought in their minds:

"Did I hear you right? This talent is only in the middle stage of Tongxuan, yet City Lord Zhu actually called him 'Fellow Daoist?'"
