This immortal has a lot of rebelliousness

"reform?"

Lift your chin.

Nangong Wu was completely bewildered. After hesitating for a long time, he finally asked, "What is reform?"

Drooping eyelids.

Zhang Xianling was speechless for a moment, and then he looked at the expressions of others, who were exactly the same, also full of confusion.

Even Taoist Zheng frowned, looking confused.

"Well, it means change and innovation!" Zhang Xianling explained with a wry smile.

"I see."

He nodded with sudden realization.

Nangong Wu narrowed his eyes and changed the subject, saying with interest, "The Lingyun Peak mining area is now under the jurisdiction of my third brother. I shouldn't be interfering in what happens there."

"It's just that this concerns the spiritual stone lifeline of my Nangong family and Haoqi City..."

The sturdy body leaned forward.

Nangong Wu's eyes were stern, and he said in a deep voice, "If there's any problem with the mining area, I don't want to intervene, and I can't intervene, but if the supply of spirit stones can't keep up, then I will hold people accountable!"

The implication is clear.

Nangong Wu only cared about the spirit stones. As for any difficulties Lingyun Peak was facing, that was the third brother's business and he was too lazy to ask at all.

"That's right."

He smiled coldly.

In front of all the bigwigs, Zhang Xianling showed no sign of stage fright and got straight to the point: "However, the output of spirit stones is inextricably linked to the management of the mining area. The eldest son is wise and knowledgeable. I believe he won't be as short-sighted as others who only see the petty profits in front of them."

There is something ambiguous and sarcastic in his words.

No one expected it.

Facing the always arbitrary and tyrannical Nangong Wu, Zhang Xianling was not afraid at all and dared to speak so arrogantly.

"Haha, what a daring mining commander!"

His eyes became somewhat unfriendly.

Nangong Wu shook his head and said thoughtfully, "You are the first person who dares to be so presumptuous in front of me!"

boom--

Unexpectedly.

Dozens of Tiger Guards who had been standing around stepped forward in unison.

A powerful aura spread out instantly and locked onto Zhang Xianling who was sitting at the banquet.

Beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on his forehead.

Zhang Xianling pretended to be calm, but in reality his qi sea was in turmoil.

"My Lord, you are too kind..."

Put down the wine glass in your hand.

Zhang Xianling smiled coldly and said casually, "Why should we be so clear about everything? In the final analysis, you and I are actually working for the Nangong family. You know, the old city lord is still alive. We who work under him should work together and follow his lead."

Say it.

Zhang Xianling raised his eyes and glanced fiercely at the armored monks around him who were ready to attack.

next moment--

The majestic energy and blood merge with spiritual consciousness.

Like a stubborn bull, it madly charged towards the aura released by the Tiger Guards.

Bang~~

The dishes on everyone's table exploded on the spot.

In addition to the flying fragments, there was also an inexplicable gust of wind.

The sudden scene shocked everyone.

Especially after seeing how powerful Zhang Xianling's blood and energy were.

To be able to fight head-on with more than a dozen Tiger Guards, to achieve this, what is needed is not just luck, but thorough hard power.

"well said......"

crucial moment.

Taoist Zheng, who had been silent all this time, quickly stood up and tried to smooth things over in a timely manner.

"We all serve the old city lord, so naturally, we shouldn't be so clearly divided. I believe that everyone here, like the eldest son, dare not have any other second thoughts on this point."

As soon as these words came out.

Everyone at the banquet quickly agreed. Even Nangong Wu, who was sitting at the host seat, nodded and smiled silently. He didn't dare to continue to argue with Zhang Xianling.

Well known.

Nangong Lingyuan, the Lord of Haoqi City, is now in seclusion in order to break through his cultivation.

Although most people were not optimistic about him, they thought that the old man would most likely not be able to break through the threshold.

But people are still alive after all.

If Nangong Lingyuan gets extremely lucky and really breaks through his cultivation as he wishes, the words he just said will be enough to make Nangong Wu never recover.

The two exchanged a look.

The shrewd Taoist Zheng quickly raised his glass, looked around and said, "Come, come, let's drink together. I wish the old city lord a speedy exit from seclusion and further advancement in his cultivation."

In the phrase.

Everyone stood up quickly, raised the wine in their glasses above their heads, and pretended to be loyal.

Only Zhang Xianling smiled without saying a word, just took a sip of wine, but did not break the window paper that had already been defeated miserably.

"But then again."

After a while of pleasantries.

Nangong Wu pondered for a long time, then suddenly said, "Zhang Xianling, I think it's a bit of a waste for a talent like you to stay in that bitter cold place of Lingyun Peak."

The words end here.

Everyone pricked up their ears and stopped what they were doing involuntarily.

"Oh?"

His face looked slightly tipsy.

Zhang Xianling raised his eyebrows and asked, "I don't know what you mean, Master. Why don't you just speak frankly?"

He pondered for a moment.

Nangong Wu looked at Taoist Zheng in the hall, only to see him narrow his eyes and nod casually.

"That's great, I'll just say it straight!"

grin.

Nangong Wu propped himself up on the table with both hands and said bluntly, "Everyone knows that I value talent the most. I think you're quite capable, so why don't you come and work for me? It's more promising than being a small commander in that mining area!"

That’s all I have to say.

Everyone is now realizing it.

This banquet was indeed held for Zhang Xianling, but it was not a Hongmen Banquet intended to harm him, but rather an attempt to divide the relationship between him and Nangong Yan.

Can be imagined.

It no longer matters whether Zhang Xianling agrees or not. Everything that happens in the hall tonight will definitely be heard by Nangong Yan through various channels.

Killing people invisibly plays a key role in sowing discord.

"How about it......"

A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Nangong Wu continued to exaggerate, "As the saying goes, good birds choose trees to roost in, and people strive for higher places. As long as I speak, I believe that Third Brother will not have any objections. What do you think?"

Drinking in silence.

Taoist Zheng remained calm throughout the whole process, but his eyes were as sharp as a sword, staring at Zhang Xianling's every move.

The answer no longer seems to matter.

What he wanted was to force Zhang Xianling into a desperate situation and make him completely lose Nangong Yan's support and trust!

"What's the price?" Zhang Xianling asked with a smile.

"Wha, what..."

He was suddenly startled.

Nangong Wu raised his eyebrows, thinking he had misheard, and asked in confusion, "What's the price?"

"Young Master, if you want to poach someone, aren't you prepared to offer a price?"

Spread your hands.

Zhang Xianling raised his head and took a swig of the wine, then smiled drunkenly, "I am very expensive."
