Battle Through the Heavens: I Am the Righteous Path

Chapter 408
Xiao Ling came to the table where Yue Mei, Lu Man and Elder Qing were sitting. Lu Man looked at her and laughed softly.

"Your family is quite lively. It's no wonder that the Saint is eager to come back."

As he said that, Luman glanced at the noisy courtyard and the red lanterns hanging on the surrounding materials. Although it was noisy, he did not feel irritated, and instead felt a warmth in his heart.

"Elder Luman is too polite. In fact, the Xiao family only gets busy once a year." Xiao Ling waved his hand with a chuckle, pulled out the chair and sat down, "Speaking of which, I didn't have time to ask yesterday. Qinglin was here. How are you doing at Tian Snake Mansion?"

"Don't worry, it's great. Now the saint is the most precious in the Tian Snake Mansion. The master of the palace has given all the resources in the mansion to the saint as much as possible."

Green Man said this, and Elder Qing on the side also nodded.

Qing Lin's status in the Tian Snake Mansion is really inferior to that of one person and above ten thousand people. Except for the palace master, even the elders of the Tian Snake Mansion are not as important as Qing Lin. The master of the Tian Snake Mansion now really regards Qing Lin as his The lifeblood of Tian She Mansion has been treated.

"By the way, I have something to tell you." Lu Man thought of something and whispered to Xiao Ling: "Members of the Tian She Mansion reported that the Mulan Empire, the Luoyan Empire and the Izumo Empire seemed to be visiting each other in recent days. It’s very frequent. Originally, this matter had nothing to do with the Tian She Mansion, but because of your relationship with the Saint, it doesn’t hurt to tell you.”

Hearing Lu Man's words, Xiao Ling's brows wrinkled slightly.

These three countries have frequent exchanges, which is not good news for the Jia Ma Empire, especially after the Snake Tribe incident.

Yue Mei also had a solemn face after hearing this. The snake people finally negotiated a reconciliation with the Jiama Empire and moved from the damn desert to Red Sand City. Although the reconstruction is going smoothly now, the trust between humans and the snake people is not that high. The snake people themselves have not yet formed a sense of belonging to the Jiama Empire.

If a foreign enemy invades at this time, the situation that the snake people finally settled down will have to start all over again.

"Xiao Ling, is it because of the Tagor Desert incident?"

"Most likely, they probably received the news about Queen Medusa's survival and became afraid of the Garma Empire. They wanted to use this as an excuse to join forces to fight against the Garma Empire." Xiao Ling responded softly, "But there is no confirmed evidence. Until there is evidence, these are just speculations. After returning home, Jia Lao and I will report the matter and discuss how to deal with it."

"Don't worry too much. Luoyan and Mulan are fine, but Izumo can't even handle matters in his own country. Even if they really want to join forces, they won't be able to handle it in a short time."

Xiao Ling also knew what Yue Mei was worried about, so she comforted her, and what she said was true.

Previously, the Gama Empire solved the two major problems of the Snake People and the Yunlan Sect in one fell swoop. At this time, even if there were reactionary forces in the country, they could not make any waves. The internal problems of the three Izumo countries have not yet been solved. This situation If they join forces, it will only add to chaos.

But this also means that any one of the three countries, Izumo, Luoyan and Mulan, would be unable to resist the Gama Empire.

Jiaxingtian has no idea of ​​​​expanding outwards, but it does not mean that the other party has no worries about the Jiama Empire. This is the biggest difficulty between countries. Even if Jiaxingtian declares in person that he has no intention of aggression, they will not believe it.

As a tool, strength is not only used to defend territory, so advance preparation is necessary, whether it is those three countries or the Gama Empire.

Thinking like this, Xiao Ling looked at Luman.

"Elder Green Man, how about the alliance that Jia Lao discussed with you when you were temporarily staying in the Holy City of Jia Ma?"

"I reported that matter to the Palace Master, but..." Lu Man shrugged lightly and said helplessly: "The Palace Master is not very willing. He feels that there is no need for the Tian She Palace to join forces with the Jiama Empire."

Looking at the entire continent, Tian Snake Mansion may not be a big deal, but in this northwest continent, Tian Snake Mansion is definitely a first-rate force. So many years of operation have given the owner of Tian Snake Mansion considerable confidence. He does not think that Tian Snake Mansion and Jiajia What benefits can the Mar Empire bring by joining forces?

"Is it."

Xiao Ling was not surprised by this result.

Joining forces means more or less accepting the constraints of the rules. A force like Tian She Mansion that can rely on itself to be independent from the country is indeed unlikely to join forces with a certain country.

What's more, the Tian Snake Mansion itself is a force independent of the country in the northwest continent. Once the Tian Snake Mansion joins forces with the Jiama Empire, it means that the Tian She Mansion is standing on the opposite side of other countries. For the Tian She Mansion, Not a good thing.

By joining forces with the Jia Ma Empire, the Tian She Mansion will definitely suffer.

"But I think as long as the saint is still the saint of the Tian She Mansion, union will be a matter of time."

Green Man said helplessly.

In the past six months, Tian She Mansion has provided Qing Lin with all kinds of things, including food, clothing, entertainment, and all kinds of precious cultivation resources. However, whatever Tian Snake Mansion can bring out will definitely not be hidden. .

However, even so, Qing Lin has never forgotten that she improved her strength in order to help Xiao Ling one day in the future. If she gains strength but cannot do this, then the strength is purely useless to her. things.

As a member of the Heavenly Snake Mansion, Lu Man naturally supported the Heavenly Snake Mansion, and informed the Master of the Heavenly Snake Mansion of this concern, who also believed her words.

But in the end, Qinglin still couldn't give up.

The green snake and three-flowered pupil are a rare sight in many years. This time I gave up the blue scales. It can be said that it is basically impossible to find another one next time.

As for the method of transplanting the Blue Snake Three-flowered Pupils like Mo Cheng did, don't even think about it. Mo Cheng's behavior is a pure second-rate in the Tian She Mansion, a waste of natural resources, the Blue Snake Three-flowered Pupils and other The masters are complementary to each other. Even if the eyes are transplanted, what is taken away is just the epidermis, and not even % of the power of the Green Snake Three Flower Pupils can be exerted.

"In that case, please ask Elder Greenman to speak kindly to the Palace Master."

Xiao Ling said with a smile, Luman shrugged slightly and did not respond, but his expression was already acquiescence.

Green Man would never do such a thing, but as she just said, as long as the palace owner is unwilling to give up Qinglin, it would be a matter of time for the Snake Mansion to join forces with the Jiama Empire for Qinglin that day, even if Green Barbarian does nothing.

At this moment, Han Feng's figure flashed behind Xiao Ling.

"Things are ready."

With that said, Han Feng placed the elixir bottle on the table in front of Xiao Ling, while Xiao Ling's face froze.

So fast?
Immediately, Xiao Ling came to his senses, put away the elixir bottle, and bowed his head to Han Feng to thank him.

"Senior Han Feng, thank you."

Han Feng waved his hand lightly, turned his gaze to Lu Man, and threw a brocade box to her in her astonished eyes.

"Thank you for your help last time in the Black Corner Domain. This is a return gift."

"Ok?"

Green Man raised his eyebrows in confusion, and immediately opened the brocade box. Elder Qing on the side also came over. When the two of them saw the contents of the brocade box, their eyes immediately went straight.

Yin Yang Dragon Mysterious Pill? ! !
Green Man and Elder Qing looked up in shock at Han Feng, who had a calm expression. You must know that one of the black horn auctions was also taken by them. If it were not for the [Black Prison Dark Soul Lock], the Yin Yang Dragon Mysterious Pill would It was definitely something that had tons of people vying for it in that auction.

And Han Feng gave away such an expensive thing in such an understatement? ? ?

"It's just a small gift, don't be so surprised."

Han Feng's calm voice made Luman and Elder Qing even more numb, and even caused self-doubt.Is the Yin Yang Dragon Mysterious Pill a small gift?Is there something wrong with our brains or is there something wrong with hers?
"This"

Luman looked at the Yin-Yang Dragon Mysterious Pill in his hand and wanted to accept it. He felt that this gift was too heavy, so he wanted to return it but was reluctant to part with it.

Minato!Just take it!Anyway, Xiao Yan might have died if I hadn't helped him last time!

Luman hesitated in his heart for a long time, and finally found a reason for himself that was indeed true. He closed the brocade box and stood up, handing over Luman.

"Thank you!"

The palace master himself was not very happy about Qinglin's return to the Gama Empire. Being able to take back a Yin-Yang Dragon Mysterious Pill for free should make the palace master feel a lot better.

Han Feng nodded lightly. At this time, Zi Yun, who was finally kicked out of the stove by Xiao Li who couldn't bear it because she had been stealing food, rubbed her hair lightly and walked over with an unhappy expression on her face.

"Really, didn't you just eat more, why are you so angry?"

Hearing this, Xiao Ling's mouth twitched slightly.

Just because Ziyun ate [a little more], Xiao Li's already heavy workload tripled, which is surprising.

At this time, Han Feng came to Ziyun and handed her a pill bottle in Ziyun's confused eyes.

"This is the Transformation Pill. As a gift in return for your help last time, you should need this, right?"

As he said that, Han Feng glanced at the little Lion King who was playing with the children. Zi Yun saw the elixir in the bottle hesitated for a moment, and then took it over.

"Oh~ I've been worrying about where to go to do this recently, thank you~"

Compared to Luman, Ziyun didn't think so much and happily put away the Transformation Pill. She had been thinking about where to get another one during this time, otherwise she would always have the little lion with her. It was quite troublesome for Wang to walk around. He really fell asleep and someone just happened to bring him a pillow.

"Shaping Pill"

When Lu Man and Elder Qing heard this, they both fell silent, and at the same time they couldn't help but guess Han Feng's identity.

It is not something that ordinary people can do to deliver seventh-grade elixirs casually, but they have never heard of such a person in the northwest continent before?
"We're back!"

Xiao Mei's laughter suddenly came from the door of the courtyard. Xun'er, Xiao Yu and Qing Lin also walked in, holding a lot of vegetables and meat in their arms.

"Too slow! Why does it take so long to buy groceries?!"

Xiao Li yelled in dissatisfaction. She only gets so irritable every year when cooking during the Chinese New Year.

"Yeah, sorry, sorry." Xiao Mei smiled and put the vegetables and meat in front of the stove, "I encountered some trouble on the way."

"trouble?"

Xiao Yan, who was cutting vegetables, raised his eyebrows slightly. Only then did Xiao Mei notice Xiao Yan and looked at him happily.

"Cousin Xiao Yan, are you awake? You were so drunk yesterday that Uncle Xiao Zhan was almost mad to death!"

"Forehead"

Xiao Yan's expression was instantly awkward, he didn't know what to say, but Xun'er came over and promptly changed the topic.

"I just met some mercenaries on the way back and had some quarrels with us."

"Mercenary? At this time?"

Xiao Yan felt even more confused when he heard Xun'er's words. Everything that mercenaries need is basically bought and sold by the Xiao family, and it is customary for the Xiao family to stop business every year during the Chinese New Year. Normally, there should be no mercenaries meeting these days. Come to Wutan City.

"The faces of those mercenaries are quite unfamiliar. They must be new ones." Xiao Yu put down the things in her arms and whispered softly with one hand on her hips: "And those guys said they were mercenaries, but they actually felt more like mercenaries to me. Bandits in the mountains.”

Although mercenaries and bandits live a life of licking blood, mercenaries can be considered a formal industry, and basic rules must be followed.

The bandits are completely different. They are a group of people who have no rules in their eyes and act without any laws at all.

Although it is not visible from the outside, the domineering temperament of bandits accumulated over many years is too obvious, and it is completely different from that of mercenaries.

But it is even more unlikely to say that they are bandits. Although Wutan City is a remote countryside, it is still a city. No bandit has the courage to wander around Wutan City, let alone enter the city. They are purely looking for death. Behavior.

The Xiao family has three great fighting masters in charge. All the bandits with some strength have become mercenaries, and the ones who can become bandits are mostly fighters. Fighting against the great fighting masters is simply life-threatening.

After listening to Xiao Yu's words, Xiao Yan frowned. When he first left home and traveled, he encountered many robbers along the way. As a result, he did not have a good impression of the professions related to the word "bandit", and from the profession There is no difference between bandits and robbers. They both make a living by robbing people.

"What about them?"

Xiao Yan held the kitchen knife, a cold light flashed in his eyes, Xiao Yu shrugged lightly.

"They were beaten away by us. They are quite weak."

"Hmph! With that kind of strength, he still dares to harass us in the street. It's really funny."

Xiao Mei also crossed her arms with a look of disdain on her face. Although Xun'er didn't say a word, her eyes showed deep speechlessness.

Those bandits who looked like mercenaries were basically fighting masters, and there were two great fighting masters. The strongest one was already a one-star fighting spirit, but even with this kind of strength, Xiao Yu whipped him away. , no ability to fight back at all.

Although he can do it himself, Xun'er is probably the only one among the Xiao family's children who knows very well how powerful his family is.

Immediately, Xun'er frowned slightly.

Regardless of whether those people are mercenaries or bandits, generally speaking, people of that level will not come to a small place like Wutan City. The only ones of value are the Xiao family.

Could it be that he is here for the Xiao family?

This guess suddenly appeared in Xun'er's mind, and she was about to tell Xiao Yan about it, but then her expression suddenly stopped and she glanced at the many outsiders in the hospital.

Although Xun'er had never met any of Zi Yun, Yue Mei, Lu Man, Qing Elder, Hai Bodong, and Han Feng before yesterday, she already knew all the information about these people from Ling Ying.

That's all, there's no need to worry
