Liao Zhai's Refining God

"My son, all the gods, according to my subordinates, there is a country on the north coast of Zhongzhou, named Beichen Kingdom. Now Zhongzhou is different from our Beizhou. Their country is completely controlled by the cultivation forces, or it can be said to be protected. Otherwise, those people would have no way out.

But at the same time of protection, some evil cultivators demand unrestrainedly. They don't treat ordinary people as human beings at all, but use them as animals and tools to earn incense and vow power.

The population of this Beichen country is less than one million people, and the god of protecting the country worshiped by the people of Beichen country is extremely evil.

It is said that Beichen Kingdom's righteous cultivator sect also tried to eradicate this evil cultivator, but they were all defeated and even swallowed up.According to my speculation, the deity of Beichen Kingdom should be a demon cultivator, and he has a group of subordinates who control the entire Beichen Kingdom.

If we kill this deity, we can become the deity of Beichen Kingdom, and then use this as a springboard to enter Central Continent. "Nie Longcheng said.

"I think it's good. Let's enter Beichen Kingdom first and stand still." Nie Xiaoqian eagerly said.

"Entering is of course necessary, but we need to carefully consider what form of entry is the most suitable." Yue Liusu pondered.

"How much cultivation can a demon cultivator have, just go and kill him." Nie Xiaoqian said with a fighting spirit.

"We need to be clear about the purpose of our entry into Central Continent. It is to expand the realm of the gods, to obtain more incense and vows, to refine more landscape charms, and to support more divine envoys. After destroying these harmful evil gods Sometimes you can also take the opportunity to obtain higher-level original power.

But the premise is to consolidate our existing territory and not lose it.But now we are at odds with East China Sea Dragon Palace, and we are not on good terms with Qingqiu and Xuanwu Shrine. We are developing in Central Continent to better deal with them.

But if once we intervene in the affairs of Central Continent, or even show our banner with great fanfare, will it cause the attention and fear of the dragon clan, Xuanwu Shrine and other big forces, and we will be listed as the key targets at that time, and we are afraid at that time difficult to handle. "Yue Tassel slowly analyzed.

"Sister Liusu's analysis is that I really didn't think of this point. Hee hee." Nie Xiaoqian stuck out her tongue.

"I agree with the opinion of God Master Liusu. The prerequisite for entering Central Continent is to be safe and secure. It is important not to show the mountains or leak water, and not to arouse the suspicion and fear of other forces." Xue Fei added.

The other body protectors also nodded, and they all looked at Wang Lin. As long as Wang Lin agrees and the general direction is determined, they can further implement it.

"Liusu and Xue Fei are right. How to enter Central Continent, I have considered this matter before. In fact, ordinary mortals are more likely to accept people who cultivate immortals. After all, disciples who cultivate immortals come from them, and they are afraid of ghosts and gods, which is not easy to accept. .

As the saying goes, it is time to raise soldiers for a thousand days, and Jingtian Peak disciples such as Yue Yunyao and Wang Daniu should go out and walk around, otherwise they will not make great progress in raising them in the greenhouse.

I intend to persuade the head of the Kunlun Sword Gate to establish another courtyard of the Sword Gate in Zhongzhou. Of course, this is a force on the surface. In fact, it is our Shinto that presides over it internally. We assist them in cleaning up evil cultivators and saving the people of Liming. They got their name , we have the power of God's Domain.Of course, in the future, the Kunlun Sword Sect can recruit disciples from our Divine Realm forces, so it will be a win-win situation. "Wang Lin pondered.

"My lord's ingenious plan, I admire you." Yue Liusu bowed and saluted.Only she, Xue Fei, Li Tang and a few body protector gods understood the mystery of Wang Lin's actions.

"My lord, how will the manpower be allocated?" Xue Fei asked.

"The god of mountains and rivers should not be moved lightly, and his energy should be mainly concentrated on the territory of Xia Kingdom. He can send some divine envoys to first refine the mountains, rivers and lakes; Mu Qingyun focuses on developing and maintaining the forces of the underworld, so he should not move lightly. The green flute takes care of both the front and the rear. As for the matter, arrange the envoys; the god of gold and fire is responsible for taking the lead in expanding the domain of the gods. Follow this policy." Wang Lin said.

"Your Majesty's decree must be obeyed." All the body protectors, including Nie Longcheng who was present at the meeting, all bowed and saluted.

Subsequently, Yue Liusu, Xue Fei and others began to formulate detailed action plans.Three days later, Li Tang took Nie Longcheng and other envoys to Central Continent in the first wave.

"Wang Lin, you are not only the elder of Jingtian Peak, you are also the elder of the entire Jianmen. Entering Central Continent is such a great thing, you can't just think about the disciples of Jingtian Peak.

I am the head of the sect, all peaks must be exposed to rain and dew, otherwise I will not allow you to enter Central Continent. "Wang Lin returned to Shocking Sky Peak, and then went to Yunv Peak to discuss the matter with the head. Unexpectedly, Xia Yuhe was very interested when she heard it.

"Uncle, you and I think it's a chance, but the other peak masters may not think so. After all, it must be extremely dangerous to go to Central Continent, and I don't want more peak masters to know that I led it, so I just Can use the power of Jingtian Peak." Wang Lin said helplessly.

"This matter is easy to handle. I just said that I received a message from the master of the Langya Immortal Pavilion in Zhongzhou. The Central Continent is in chaos and demons are rampant. I want my Beizhou Immortal Dao forces to help and protect the common people." Xia Yuhe said.

"Langya Immortal Pavilion Master!" Wang Lin was a little stunned, and was really a little shocked by Xia Yuhe's brain opening.

"Don't think I'm lying. It's true. When we were young, we traveled across the sea to Central Continent with our master. This Misty Pavilion Master is my good friend. She did send me a message not long ago. "Xia Yuhe said.

Chapter 711 Crossing the Sea

"In this case, I will follow your arrangement, Uncle Shi. But I have a request. It cannot be forced. It must be entered on a voluntary basis. After all, it is quite dangerous to go to Central Continent. It is best to enter in batches and not to be greedy. Two elders lead the team," Wang Lin said.

"Wang Lin, do you also want to enter Central Continent?" Xia Yuhe asked.

"En!" Wang Lin nodded.There is nothing to shy away from.

"I have a request. All of my Yunvfeng are female disciples. Let them act together with your Jingtian Peak, so that I can rest assured." Xia Yuhe said.

"Okay!" Wang Lin nodded in agreement.

Xia Yuhe said this because she had great trust in Wang Lin. When she saw Wang Lin this time, she could no longer see through Wang Lin's cultivation, and she was shocked and puzzled.Wang Lin had used the altar to shield her cultivation, mainly because she was afraid that Xia Yuhe would be too shocked, because Wang Lin's cultivation had surpassed hers.

Afterwards, Xia Yuhe called the masters of the peaks, and naturally Wang Lin also attended on behalf of Jingtian Peak.Xia Yuhe said that she had received a message from the owner of the Langya Fairy Pavilion in Zhongzhou. Now that the people of Zhongzhou are in dire straits, the Kunlun Sword Sect cannot ignore death and save the people of Liming with chivalry first. Good timing and more.

This character is also in line with Xia Yuhe's characteristics, and from the words, Wang Lin can tell that even if Wang Lin doesn't come to look for her, she probably intends to go to Central Continent, and even if she doesn't send her disciples, she may go alone.

The peak masters of all the peaks immediately discussed. Three peak masters disagreed and did not participate in this matter. After all, it was too far away, and it was extremely dangerous to cross the sea; three peak masters agreed to send elders and disciples to Central Continent.

"I will not force you. If you are willing, I will assign two or three elders to lead the team. I will also go to Central Continent myself. You can send disciples to accompany you. Elder Wang Lin has already arranged a boat on the south bank of Beizhou. Escort the disciples across the sea; if you don't want to, stay in the mountain gate and meditate." Xia Yuhe said.

Xia Yuhe didn't force it in an orderly manner. Such an attitude made the peak masters feel comfortable, so they all left to make arrangements.

"Junior brother, no matter what I say, I will not stay at the mountain gate. I have been staying on the mountain for so many days, and I am about to get sick." Wang Lin returned to Jingtian Peak. There were not many disciples of Jingtian Peak, and they all gathered in the main hall. , Wang Lin recounted the matter of rushing to Central Continent, and Yan Chixia was the first to mention it.

Of course, Wang Lin didn't explain the specific reason to them, but she also said it according to Xia Yuhe's words.

"Brother, everything in the mountain gate is peaceful and safe now, just leave two disciples to take care of it. I also want to go to experience it." Zhao Ji said cautiously.He naturally wanted to go, but if Kunlun Jianmen wanted to leave a master, he and Yan Chixia were the only ones left, but he was not good at arguing with Yan Chixia, so he could only put forward his own opinions from the side.

"Going to Central Continent this time is not that simple, but extremely dangerous. My opinion is that the disciples of Jingtian Peak must not go to Central Continent unless they enter the God Transformation Realm. Those who are above the God Transformation Realm are all voluntary. If they don't want to go, they can stay in the mountain gate to practice. .” Wang Lin said.

"Yes, senior brother!" Zhao Ji's expression suddenly turned bitter.He is only at the peak of foundation building now, and has not yet entered the state of transforming gods.

At this time, he was a little guilty and ashamed, and he didn't dare to look at Wang Lin. After all, Wang Lin had given too many training resources to Jingtian Peak disciples. As Wang Lin's junior, he had allocated a lot of resources.Precious spiritual fruits, spiritual teas, nourishing blood pills, etc. are in constant supply.Compared with other peak disciples of Kunlun Sword Sect, it is simply too generous.Now that he has not transformed into a god, he naturally blames himself in his heart.

In fact, Zhao Ji is not bad, he has successfully practiced sword control and obtained his own natal sword.

Moreover, he has also entered the secret realm of Lingshan many times to study the sword scriptures, and his cultivation has improved rapidly.But Yujianshu is inherently mysterious and difficult to improve quickly, and he has only practiced for a short time. Now that he has reached this cultivation level, he is already considered an excellent disciple in the entire Kunlun Sword Sect.

But compared with Yue Yunyao, Wang Daniu and Liu Ziyu, he is far behind. He is nominally the uncle of the three, but now Yue Yunyao and Liu Ziyu have entered the second realm of transformation, and they are on the same level as Yan Chixia; Wang Daniu entered the realm of transforming gods.

The rapid improvement of the three of them is closely related to Wang Lin's teaching of the three people's method of refining weapons with blood. Using the magic weapon of their own destiny as a bridge to practice sword control is indeed getting twice the result with half the effort.Moreover, the three first practiced in Guyueju, and Wang Lin and the body protectors often taught them scriptures, so their foundation was much deeper than that of Zhao Ji.

Since Wang Lin said so, the matter was settled naturally, and no one objected to it.For them, they didn't care about the danger at all, and being able to follow Wang Lin to Zhongzhou was the most exciting thing.

In this way, the personnel were settled, and Wang Lin took Yan Chixia, Yue Yunyao, Wang Daniu and Liu Ziyu to go.The other disciples could only be envious, and secretly made up their minds to practice hard.

Afterwards, Wang Lin left first to meet Zhang Hanyu in the Lingshan Mountains. Naturally, they had to meet for a while before leaving. Yan Chixia and others gathered with the disciples of Yunvfeng and rushed to the south coast of Beizhou.

Because there were disciples from Yunv Peak, Wang Lin didn't open the gate of summoning to transfer them directly. Instead, she left Zhang Hanyu and arrived at Nanya Mountain on the south coast when they were about to reach the south coast.

A huge cruise ship similar to the previous life is quietly docked in the bay at the foot of Nanya Mountain. The figure and structure of this cruise ship was passed on to the green flute by Wang Lin, and she was asked to simulate this shape and integrate it with magic. The cruise ship is 45 meters long. , The wood is made of emerald jade bamboo and purple bamboo, which are as tough as steel.

But because wood is not as heavy as steel, it can be said to be an excellent material for shipbuilding.These emerald jade bamboos and purple bamboos are not ordinary products, they are extracted from the secret place of Huayun Mountain and Jingtian Peak, and they are already regarded as spiritual trees.

Green Flute also sent an envoy on the ship to keep an eye on the ship's condition, and if there is any damage, it will be reinforced with spells to ensure the stability of the cruise ship.

In his previous life, Wang Lin had researched this kind of cruise ship on the Internet, and his dream was to one day drive such a cruise ship to swim freely on the sea.

However, in the previous life, it was a treatment that only the rich could enjoy. For a poor guy like Wang Lin, it was a luxury dream.

But this life is different, and it can be realized with Shinto magic.As for the power of the cruise ship, it is even simpler. Wang Lin asked Nie Xiaoxuan to pick two monsters from Tianjiang to drag the cruise ship.

Nie Xiaoxuan naturally attached great importance to it, and sent over the two most powerful monsters controlled by the seal of the Great God of Tianjiang. The two dragons at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm were [-] meters long.

For the two spirited monsters, they naturally knew who they were serving to drag the boat into the sea. Not only did they not have any resistance in their hearts, but they were extremely happy

Now, in the Tianjiang, Tonghe waters, Shishahai, Nanhu and other waters, under Nie Xiaoxuan, Lu Han and other main gods, the status and order have been determined according to the level. For these spiritually enlightened monsters, it is naturally I figured it out.

Under the main gods such as Nie Xiaoxuan and Lu Han, the gods and servants of the water gods in important water areas have the highest status, such as Yue Qiongzhi, Bai Zhen, Lu Ziping, Xiaoqing, etc.; followed by the servants and envoys of the water gods in tributary waters; Second-level envoys and servants of the gods, they are enlightened by the first-level envoys and servants of the gods, and controlled by the first-level envoys.

The lowest rank is the water ghosts and monsters controlled by the god seal. They are the most peripheral forces and have the lowest status. For example, the two monsters who tug the boat to Wang Lin have such a status. They are not even counted as joining Wang Lin. Shinto sphere of influence, because there is no imprint of their souls in the altar.

These two monsters have developed their spiritual intelligence, so they naturally understand the truth and want to rise up. They thought that as long as they can become the servants of the main envoys, that is, the second-level servants, they will be satisfied. With a large amount of cultivation resources, the future is bright.

But this time, they were keenly aware of the opportunity. Yue Qiongzhi recommended them to the main god Nie Xiaoxuan. After the inspection, Nie Xiaoxuan told them what to do, and recommended them to Wang Lin.

Afterwards, they were directly moved to Nie Xiaoxuan's divine pavilion, where they absorbed a lot of original power, and in just a few hours, they broke through to the realm of transforming gods, all of which seemed like a dream.

Now the divine pavilion stores a large amount of the original power of the water system, heaven and earth, and if it is not for the outstanding envoys of the gods, they cannot enter it to absorb it, let alone members of peripheral forces like them.

From this, they also knew who the object of service this time was, it must be the master of the main god, the so-called "son". To them, Wang Lin was a superior existence, but they were keenly aware that this was the master Chance, as long as this person has a little affection for them, they will be able to rise to the top, and it is not impossible for them to become real dragons in the future.

According to their understanding, the Shishahai Lake God got a real dragon demon corpse, and after devouring it, he has already started to retreat and prepare to cross the catastrophe. Maybe after the catastrophe is successful, he may turn into a real dragon. This is what they dream of. I dare not even think about it, but now I seem to see hope.

Of course, they didn't know that this kind of "gossip" was deliberately released by Yue Qiongzhi and other envoys. Only in the future can they be effectively encouraged to take the initiative to make meritorious deeds and practice hard.

In fact, this method is not only adopted in the water system forces, but also in the subordinate forces of the body protector gods in other systems. It is just because the water system forces are relatively large and there are many monsters under their jurisdiction, so it is more reflected. Obvious.

Of course, Wang Lin didn't know what the two dragons were thinking. Wang Lin never intervened in the cultivation and control of the envoys. This was the body protector's own business.What Wang Lin pays close attention to is only the God of Body Protector, or some envoys may come into Wang Lin's sight, but she will not interfere too much with the God of Body Protector's management and cultivation of envoys.

But since it was chosen by Nie Xiaoxuan, there was naturally no problem, so they released the two flood dragons and fell into the sea water. They swam to the bottom of the big boat on their own initiative.

The envoy of the green flute who was in charge of the cruise ship cast a spell, and two thick and tough ropes evolved from emerald jade bamboo protruded from the bottom of the cruise ship and looped them around Jiaolong's neck.

At this time, Wang Lin boarded the cruise ship with Yan Chixia, Yue Yunyao, Wang Daniu, Liu Ziyu, and Qi Wan, Fu Wanying, and Xia Yan from Yunv Peak.

Originally, with Wang Lin's current cultivation base, she would fly away with the Golden Light Method, and it would not take long to cross the sea to reach Central Continent, but with Yan Chixia and others, especially Xia Yan who has not yet become a God of Transformation, it is necessary to Want to fly across the sea, the difficulty is not small.

Even if Yan Chixia and others can fly, with their flying ability, it will consume a lot of mana in the sea, and if there is an emergency, it may be extremely dangerous.

Moreover, Wang Lin also wanted to visit the sea. Speeding from the sky was too conspicuous, and she couldn't see any scenery along the way, and she was not in a hurry, so she took this approach.

After all, Li Tang had already arrived in advance, and Wang Lin used the gate of summoning to send Nie Xiaoqian, Yue Liusu and their envoys one after another. They have already penetrated into Beichen Kingdom and are secretly planning how to seize Beichen Kingdom .

In the past, Wang Lin was just a part of the plan, and the plan was brewing, and it was necessary to find a suitable time to carry it out, so there was no rush.

"It's a pity that Han Yushi is going to retreat. It's a pity that such a beautiful scenery is not accompanied by her!" Fu Wanying sighed.The two giant dragons pulled the cruise ship to ride the wind and waves, and it felt really good.

Fu Wanying and Zhang Hanyu have a very good relationship, and they invited Zhang Hanyu to come together, but Zhang Hanyu said that he wanted to practice in seclusion, and he couldn't come when the critical moment came.When she said this, she meant something, and she felt sorry for Wang Lin.

But Wang Lin had already vaguely sensed that Zhang Hanyu's reluctance to come might not be because he really wanted to retreat, but because of another reason.

It seemed that she didn't want to face a powerful force like Jingu. Wang Lin still didn't understand why, but Zhang Han didn't say anything, and Wang Lin didn't want to ask, which would save her embarrassment.

Wang Lin believed that if she wanted to speak, she would naturally tell herself.

"It's also great to have all of you brothers, sisters, and sisters to accompany you." Wang Lin said with a hearty smile.

"Junior brother, come, drink and watch the sea. It's a rare opportunity in life. Let's drink!" Yan Chixia took out the wine from the storage bag and placed it on the bow of the boat to greet Wang Lin.

"Okay!" Wang Lin nodded, sat on the floor with him, and took out a lot of food and spiritual fruits.Qi Wan, Fu Wanying and Xia Yan also gathered around and sat down, admiring the magnificence of the sea and tasting the fine wine, it was truly a blessing in the world.

Yue Yunyao, Liu Ziyu and Wang Daniu naturally did not sit down, but respectfully busily served Wang Lin and the others. After all, according to their seniority, they belonged to Wang Lin's disciples and were juniors.

The cruise ship braved the wind and waves to swim all the way to the south.The two flood dragons have already transformed into gods, and they are naturally like a fish in water in the sea water, and their speed is extremely fast.

"Chi Chi!" On this day, Wang Lin and his party were standing on the cruise ship admiring the magnificent sea water. Two figures in the sky flashed through the clouds and lightly landed on the board of the ship.

Chapter 712 Killing

"Pfft!" There were two people, a man and a woman. The moment the woman landed on the ground, she opened her mouth and sprayed out a bloody arrow. Her lithe body suddenly collapsed, her face pale as paper.

"Junior Sister!" The man yelled in horror, and put his arms around her waist. At the same time, he looked at Wang Lin and the others and said, "Fellow Daoist, there are demon cultivators chasing us from behind. We are grateful for the help."

At the same time, a strong wind blew up from behind, and a foul-smelling wind swept across the sea, heading towards Wang Lin's ship, and stopped in the void in an instant.

Seeing that there was no way to escape, the man and woman could only hide beside Wang Lin and the others in horror.But Wang Lin didn't move, Yan Chixia was holding a huge sword, secretly on guard; Qi Wan, Fu Wanying and others were quite nervous, because they could sense that the demon in the void had already reached the sixth stage of transformation, and the whole body Gang Qi is lingering, and the momentum is extraordinary.

And the two people who were hunted down were not weak in cultivation, they were both in the Four Realms of Transforming Gods.But at this time, their magic power seemed to be exhausted, and they were as anxious as terrified birds, and they didn't dare to have any thoughts of resistance at all.

The monster wind hovered under the Yaoxiu's feet in the void, rolling up huge waves, but the cruise ship Wang Lin and the others were on did not move at all, and a hideous giant dragon's head could be faintly seen at the bottom of the ship.

Being able to tow a ship with a giant dragon is definitely not an easy cultivation.Therefore, the demon cultivator in the void didn't act immediately, but said coldly: "Hand over these two people, and I, White Tiger Palace, can allow you to be servants."

As soon as these words came out, Wang Lin was a little stunned. What kind of situation is this? Is it a kind of charity and honor to be a servant of your White Tiger Palace?This is almost the same tone as the White Tiger Shrine, where did they get their confidence.

"Haha, sorry, we have no intention of becoming servants of your shrine. Originally, we had no intention of meddling in the grievances between you, but your words made me very unhappy, so you can't take these two away." Wang Lin suddenly smiled.

"Hahaha. My junior brother is right, you demon bastard, how dare you be so arrogant. Come on, fight me for [-] rounds, and see what you can do." Hearing what this demon cultivator said, Yan Chixia was furious. He rose up, but he was stupid and not good at words. Hearing what Wang Lin said at this time, he felt happy, and pointed the giant sword in his hand at the demon cultivator in the air.

"You are looking for death, you dare to offend the majesty of my White Tiger Palace!" the demon cultivator roared angrily.

"This is the first time a certain family has heard the name White Tiger Palace. I want to learn what the White Tiger Palace is capable of." Yan Chixia said, stepping up into the air, flying out with a huge sword in her hand, towards the big man in the air. It was just a sword, the light of the sword was as fierce as a flame, and the sword's gang shot like a long rainbow lasing at this big man.

"You're courting death!" The big man was extremely annoyed, he waved his palm, and a huge ax appeared in his palm, which turned out to be a high-grade spiritual weapon, one grade higher than Yan Chixia's giant sword.

"Junior Brother, Senior Brother Yan may not be the opponent of this monster." At this time, Qi Wan frowned and reminded.Obviously, she understood Yan Chixia's character. If she was too impulsive in this situation, she would be easily hurt by the other party, because the difference in cultivation between the two was too far.

"Friend Daoist, this demon cultivator is a golden-haired lion, powerful and swift, so don't be careless." At this time, the man who just landed on Wang Lin's yacht hurriedly reminded him.He had already fed a few pills to his junior sister, and his junior sister's complexion gradually improved a little. At this moment, she was nestling in his arms, watching Yan Chixia fight the big man with dull eyes.It could be seen from her eyes that she was extremely resentful towards this big man, and helpless sorrow flashed in her eyes.

"No problem!" Wang Lin nodded calmly.

At this time, Yan Chixia had already fought the big man, and there was a violent roar in the air. Yan Chixia did not use the flying sword to attack, but still held the giant sword in her hand to perform swordsmanship, and the sword gangs were burning hot The flames swept wildly in the air like a storm of fire.

The huge ax in the big man's hand shot out thousands of golden lights, and the sharp aura collided violently with the aura of Yan Chixia's giant sword in the air, bursting out with low-pitched explosions.

"Senior brother has improved a lot recently!" Wang Lin nodded.With his level of cultivation, he is much weaker than this big guy, but he can still fight so fiercely. It can be seen that he has no fear in his heart. It also increased the power of swordsmanship.

Wang Lin could tell that Yan Chixia not only practiced the Qiankun Sword Sutra, but also comprehended the Great Sun Sword Sutra of Chiyan Peak, and cultivated the Fiery Sword Qi to a very high level.After all, his attribute is fire, and it is very suitable to cultivate the fire and sword energy.

The two fought from the air to the water, and then flew from the water to the air.Let Wang Daniu and others watch with enthusiasm, and consciously benefit a lot.

But after all, Yan Chixia's cultivation base is much worse than this big man. After a hundred moves, she is already dwarfed by comparison and can only defend passively. Yan Chixia is not a defensive combat method at all, he has always been attacking and then attacking.So once the rhythm of the attack is broken, they are immediately in danger.

"Go to hell!" The big man roared and laughed wildly. The giant ax flashed a sharp light and slashed at Yan Chixia, but Yan Chixia couldn't stop it at all. To chop off his head.

"Senior Brother Yan!" Qi Wan turned pale with shock, and it was too late to rescue her. At this moment, she was a little bit annoyed at Wang Lin's earlier pleading for Yan Chixia's life.
