Chapter 24: Time


A gray-robed man walks in the streets and alleys of Zhongzhou City, which are shrouded in night.

He kept his head down, as if counting how many bluestone slabs he had stepped on.

He wasn't walking fast, but his perception was extremely strong, and before someone came in the distance in front of him, he had already turned into another alley before he could see him.

Therefore, although the city of Zhongzhou was still very crowded with people at the beginning of the lanterns, the gray-robed man walked all the way, and no one saw him along the way.

He is like a ghost walking in Zhongzhou City, but he exudes a certain innate unruly atmosphere.

He stopped outside a minister's mansion, although there was no special aura in his perception, but there were many sergeants patrolling around the mansion, and there were military night sentries in some high places not far away, so the gray-robed man's actions were also very cautious, and it took dozens of stops to cross the courtyard wall of this mansion and sneak outside the lighted study.

In the shadow outside the study, he waited more patiently for a long time, and waited until the official in the study seemed to have something to go out again, walked to the door of the study, and pushed open the study, the gray-robed man arrived at the door silently with a more agile posture than a raccoon cat, stretched out his hand and choked the official's throat, flashed into the study, and gently closed the open study door, before he whispered next to the ear of the official who couldn't make any sound, "Lord Liu, don't make a sound, I'm from Qingluan Academy." ” The official who was restrained by him shook suddenly, but gradually relaxed.

In the light of the candlelight, the shock in the official's eyes gradually faded, and his face looked extremely upright and resolute, with a righteous face, it was Liu Xueqing, a famous minister of Yunqin.

Feeling Liu Xueqing's cooperation, the gray-robed man let go of his hand, staggered sideways by half a step, and saluted him with his chin.

By the candlelight, Liu Xueqing saw the face of the gray-robed man, and saw the gray-robed man's unruly expression and the expression as if everyone owed him tens of thousands of taels of silver, Liu Xueqing swallowed a mouthful of saliva vigorously, relieving the pain in his throat, but there was a chill in his heart that surged all over his body, "You are Xu Shengmo, the sword master of the Qingluan Zhige system."

"Apart from me, who else can swagger into an official mansion of your level without being discovered" Xu Shengmo was very proud of not using any soul power and not being perceived by any cultivator to meet Liu Xueqing, but after saying this, he suddenly thought of Lin Xi killing all sides in this city when it had just snowed last year, and he was suddenly a little speechless, and he couldn't help but curse extremely unpleasantly in his heart.

"Even if you are a holy master, if someone finds out that you are in Zhongzhou City, you may not be able to escape."

Liu Xueqing lowered his voice, looked at Xu Shengmo and asked, "What is your purpose in coming to me?"

"I'm just responsible for helping Lin Xi's kid pass on some words."

Xu Shengmo gritted his teeth, and his face was not good.

Liu Xueqing couldn't understand Xu Shengmo's expression, he was also in a heavy mood, and he didn't want to delve into it, so he asked in a deep voice, "Lin Xi has something to say to me?"

"Purgatory Mountain will let Da Mang and Yun Qin negotiate peace, and in a few days, Da Mang will officially send envoys to Yun Qin, and then Zhongzhou City will know the news."

Xu Shengmo looked at Liu Xueqing and said, "Lin Xi let me tell you that although everyone wants the war to end, for Qingluan Academy, this is also a means for Purgatory Mountain to retreat.

Purgatory Mountain will completely use the peace to allow a large number of cultivators to enter Yunqin openly. ” "Qingluan Academy may not be able to resist the cultivators of Purgatory Mountain right now."

"This peace agreement was proposed by the Purgatory Mountain Sect, so it will definitely be reached, Lin Xi said that he didn't know which side you would decide to stand on, but he was sure that you would do something beneficial to Yun Qin.

Therefore, under the premise that Da Mang will definitely meet Yun Qin's conditions as much as possible to negotiate peace, he hopes that you can ask for more things, which can not only give Yun Qin more benefits, but also delay some time. ” After Xu Shengmo said these words, he said neatly: "Okay, I'm done." ” "Da Mang wants to make peace with us" Liu Xueqing's eyes were already full of shock and excitement.

He took a deep breath to calm himself down, "Lin Xi is sure that the peace negotiation will definitely be reached, even if our requirements are very strict."

Xu Shengmo glanced at him expressionlessly, and said coldly: "Although I am not Lin Xi, I think if I am not an idiot, his words should be to let you take the opportunity to open your mouth, and then the other party will grind slowly if you don't want to, and try to delay as much time as possible." ” Liu Xueqing fell silent.

Xu Shengmo didn't say anything anymore, turned around and gently pushed open the study door and walked out.

It took a lot of time, walked out of this house, and after walking out of this street and alley, Xu Shengmo, whose body was completely relaxed, wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, and scolded softly with disdain: "Pretending to be cool and pretending to be indifferent is actually better than me, Lin Xi, it is obviously a matter of life and death, you actually only left a few words to Liu Xueqing, and didn't say a few words."

Qingluan Academy knew the news of the peace negotiation much earlier than Zhongzhou City.

Liu Xueqing became the first person in the entire Zhongzhou City, except for the people from Qingluan Academy, to know the news of the peace conference.

Emperor Yun Qin knew the news, and naturally he was much earlier than the rest of the magnates.

The day after Liu Xueqing knew the news that Da Mang was about to formally negotiate peace, Emperor Yun Qin also knew what was about to happen.

Then the first thing he did was to go to the imperial city of Ciping Palace.

In this palace, which is the most secluded in the imperial city, and even has many weeds, there lives a person, an entire Zhongzhou City, and probably the most powerful person in the entire Yunqin now.

The Yunqin Imperial Court enshrined Ni Henian.

Emperor Yun Qin left all his entourage and guards outside the palace, and then walked into Ciping Palace alone, and walked to the deepest part, the room where Ni Henian practiced.

At this time, it was early summer, and the wind in Zhongzhou City was already sweating.

However, the room where Ni Henian practiced was even colder than the cold winter in Zhongzhou City.

Because this itself is an ice cellar with cold jade as the wall, piled with large chunks of cold ice.

Looking at Ni Henian, who was sitting on the cold jade bed, with white frost condensed on his eyebrows, Emperor Yunqin was silent for a moment and said, "Is it useful?"

Ni Henian raised his eyebrows, glanced at him, as if looking at an ordinary saint master, there was no difference, nodded, and said flatly: "At least it can slow down everything in my body functions a lot, and it can buy me a lot of time." ” Emperor Yun Qin didn't have any angry expression, and also looked at him calmly, and asked, "How long?"

"Many years."

Ni Henian said casually.

Hearing such an answer that did not have a definite date, it seemed too casual and arrogant, but Emperor Yunqin still did not get angry, he was silent for a moment, raised his head slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Hui Ling Pill is indeed given by me to Wenren Cangyue. ” Ni Henian glanced at Emperor Yun Qin and did not answer, and the look in his eyes did not have any obvious fluctuations, as if he had not heard Emperor Yun Qin's words.

"Purgatory Mountain will make peace with me."

Emperor Yun Qin's eyebrows raised slightly, and he continued.

Ni Henian's eyebrows were slightly raised, his eyes flashed, and the hoarfrost on his eyebrows made a sound like gold and iron.

"I want to know your opinion."

Emperor Yun Qin took a deep breath, but his tone became slightly colder, "You should understand that whether to negotiate peace or not, I must be decided by your opinion. ” Ni Henian glanced at Emperor Yunqin calmly and said, "You have already cooperated with Purgatory Mountain before, and you have already made enemies of Qingluan Academy, is there still a chance to turn back?"

Emperor Yun Qin's face was ugly, and he said, "I only considered the means that were most likely to defeat Qingluan Academy, so I gave the Huiling Pill to Wenren Cangyue, and did not give it to the Great Offering. ” "You're wrong."

Ni Henian shook his head slowly and said, "I never thought that the Hui Ling Pill would change much for me, since I don't care about the Hui Ling Dan, then no matter who you give it to, you don't need to apologize to me at all." ” Emperor Yun Qin was slightly stunned.

"When you come in alone and meet me, you also want to make a bet to see if my attitude towards you has changed.

You also understand that your cooperation with the Purgatory Mountain Sect is to lure the wolf into the house, and you understand that only I am the power in your hands that may deal with the Purgatory Mountain Sect.

Ni Henian looked at Emperor Yunqin with gray and white eyes that were not focused at all, and said calmly: "But after so many years, you should also understand that I don't care who your enemy is, what I care about is what I pursue."

I have been pursuing to surpass the Holy Master and become the truly most powerful person in Zhongzhou City, and now that I have done it, the enemy in front of me has a higher realm than me, and the only one who is stronger than me is the Purgatory Mountain Sect. ” "You're afraid that I have an opinion on you, and I won't help you deal with the Purgatory Mountain Sect at that time."

The corners of Ni Henian's mouth began to show a cold sarcastic expression: "You don't have to worry about this, because if you want to leave this world, I can naturally only die when facing him." ” Emperor Yun Qin's eyes narrowed slightly, and the god on his face regained his indifference and majesty.

He bowed slightly towards Ni Henian.

"The great offering of your name will forever remain in the annals of Yunqin history."

"Whatever you need for the Great Offering, the Imperial City is at your disposal."

After saying these two words coldly and respectfully, Emperor Yun Qin left happily with stronger confidence.

Ni Henian did not speak again.

He slowly closed his eyes, and his breathing seemed to stop, but in the cold air of this ice cellar, there seemed to be many threads of texture, like countless runes connected to his body.

The cold and sarcastic look at the corners of his mouth did not converge, but it spread like ripples.
