Aspiring to the Immortal Path Chapter 11: Threaten
After thinking for a while, Tang Jie replied: "Being able to contribute to the sect is the responsibility of the disciples. I don't dare to take credit. However, Linglong Immortal Lord is as powerful as a mountain. In order to deal with her, the disciples must not use their full strength to deal with her. Since The master is asking now, so I want... a mountain."
"You want a mountain?" Ling Xiao was surprised. He originally thought that what Tang Jie wanted was either a rare elixir, a mysterious skill, or simply the power to practice eternally in Shuiyue Cave.
I didn’t expect Tang Jie to ask for a mountain.
"What mountain?" Ling Xiao asked.
"Tianping Mountain, Bahuang Valley."
Ling Xiao was suddenly startled when he heard this place.
Tianping Mountain is a large mountain located on the eastern border of Wenxin. The biggest feature of this mountain is that it is mostly made of purple gold, which is extremely hard and is a natural mineral vein.
However, because it is on the border, it does not actually belong to the Wenxin Kingdom, but is shared by the Xiyue Sect and the Qijue Sect.
Hearing Tang Jie's request, Ling Xiao immediately frowned and said, "If you like purple gold, I can ask Paili to buy it for you. Although purple gold is a good spiritual material, its output is not low. The price is not expensive."
Tang Jie replied: "What I want is not purple gold, but the mountain itself."
"Why?" Ling Xiao was puzzled.
"I will fight Linglong there!" Tang Jie replied.
Ling Xiao was shocked. He finally understood Tang Jie's purpose.
Obtain a home stadium of your own in advance?
That's a good idea.
"But why choose there?" Ling Xiao asked.
"Because it is hard enough there. As long as a mountain made of purple gold is arranged, even an out-of-body deity may not be able to destroy it. A castle built on the beach, no matter how good it is, is meaningless."
Ling Xiao nodded repeatedly after hearing this: "Sure enough, it's a good idea. I can send a message to Linglong for you. With her cultivation level, I don't think she will care about such a thing. Even if she knows there is a scam, she may not care. However, The Qijue Sect also has control over this mountain, but it’s not easy to handle.”
"Then let's talk." Tang Jie replied: "As long as you are willing to pay, it's just a mountain, there's nothing we can't negotiate. If it doesn't work out, it's okay to rent it for two hundred years."
Ling Xiao burst out laughing: "Good boy, this is the original idea. Well, in that case, I will send someone to Qijue Sect to buy the other half of Tianping Mountain for you."
"Why bother others, I can just go." Tang Jie replied with a smile: "It just so happens that I still owe Qijuemen a date, so now is the time."
——————————
We still need some preparations to go to Qijuemen, so we won’t be leaving for the time being.
After returning from Yunzu's thatched cottage, Ling Xiao rearranged his residence for Tang Jie, but it was after the Star Reaching Peak. This is Ling Xiao's residence, and staying here also officially represents the identity of Tang Jie's young master Xiyue.
As the young master of Xiyue, Tang Jie actually has many privileges.
For example, he can freely enter and exit the Tianyi Pavilion and read the secret scriptures of magical powers without any restrictions; he can freely enter and exit various halls and peaks, and interrogate anything, with natural powers of supervision and suggestion; The Lord is directly open to the public, and even Shuiyuedongtian can be visited for three days a year without paying a donation.
All kinds of privileges are meant to make the powerful stronger and the rich richer.
And Tang Jie was specially ordered not to limit the number of days he could enter. This is what Ling Xiao specially strives for for Tang Jie, so that he can deal with Linglong. In addition, Ling Xiao officially announced that Yu Jing would be given to Tang Jie. With Yunzu's contribution, no amount of generous treatment is too generous.
Tang Jie's name spread throughout the Xiyue Sect. Everyone knew that Tang Jie was back, and as soon as he came back, he received unprecedented treatment, which made many people envious and jealous of him. Of course, many people are either happy or frightened by this.
Yu Yan has been sleeping very uneasily recently.
After Tang Jie returned from Yahai, Yu Yan was at peace for a while and never took anyone to class again. Some people in the hall knew about Yu Yan, so they secretly laughed at him for being frightened by Tang Jie. As time went by, those sarcastic remarks fell on Yu Yan's ears and pierced his heart. In addition, Tang Jie never came to trouble him, so he returned to his old ways and became active again.
After Tang Jie disappeared, Yu Yan was the most excited one, speaking ill of Tang Jie to everyone in front of him. In his words, Tang Jie was a gangster, a villain, a **** who did all kinds of evil, and even liked eating babies.
This kind of crazy slander was like a mental hypnotic drug, giving Yu Yan great pleasure, as if Tang Jie had hurt him in the first place. It also made almost everyone in the Xiyue Sect know that there was such a madman who hated Tang Jie. When Tang Jie didn't come back and his brothers were all in Ya Hai, there was no problem. But when Tang Jie came back, everything became different.
Today, Yu Yan is practicing in his cave.
A disciple outside the cave came: "May I ask if Governor Yu is here?"
Yu Yan's heart skipped a beat: "What's the matter?"
"The hall master asked me to ask you to do something."
Hearing this, Yu Yan breathed a sigh of relief.
After exiting the cave, follow the disciple to a lobby on Houshou Mountain.
The lobby was empty, nothing but darkness.
After Yu Yan entered, he immediately fell to his knees on the ground and shouted into the dark space: "Yu Yan has seen the hall master."
Although he couldn't see it, Yu Yan knew that Xu Baibing must be there, but no one could see him unless he thought about it.
There are many people who have joined the secret hall, but very few have actually seen Xu Baibing's appearance. It is said that except for a few Zifu and leaders, even the deputy hall leader Chang Tianshui and others have never seen Xu Baibing's true appearance.
If Yan Changfeng is a warrior under the scorching sun, and Ming Ye Kong is an elegant swordsman emerging from the dust, then Xu Baibing is an assassin dormant in the darkness. Legend has it that if he wants to assassinate someone, he can kill him even if he is a powerful person from the Zi Mansion.
Bang!
A portrait flew out of the darkness and landed in Yu Yan's hands. A voice came from the darkness: "This is your mission, kill this person."
Yu Yan opened the portrait and took a look, and immediately trembled all over his body: "Li Chengfeng? This person is Master Tianxin. Hall Master, this disciple is just enlightened, how can he assassinate Master Tianxin? Hall Master, please take back your life." ”
The voice in the darkness came slowly: "A mission is a mission, no matter how difficult it is, it must be completed. If you can't complete it, just risk your life."
Yu Yan felt his whole body go cold when he heard it. Suddenly he understood and shouted: "Tang Jie, is it for Tang Jie, right? Are you using the same method I used to deal with him to deal with me? Hall Master, even you are afraid Have you lost his power?"
A person finally appeared in the darkness.
It was an honest-looking face, like an ordinary farmer.
Such an appearance may not be worthy of the sails of a hall master, but it is exactly the characteristic of the secret hall. I wish that no one in the world would notice me.
Putting his hands behind his back, Xu Baibing looked at Yu Yan with sympathy: "If I told you that Tang Jie never told me about this matter, would you believe it?"
Yu Yan was stunned: "How is this possible?"
Xu Baibing shook his head: "He has never paid attention to you. In his eyes, you are just an ant, and you are not even interested in revenge. But you are so annoying. Over the years, you have abused me openly and secretly. Tang Jie, countless people have known about you for a long time. Now Tang Jie is the young master. Although he has never said that he will get rid of you, if you are allowed to live, it will obviously leave a cancer in my secret hall for everyone. Everyone thinks that I, Xu Baibing, am against him."
Yu Yan said unwillingly: "But the hall master, even if he is the young master, you are still the leader, you don't have to be afraid of him!"
"Yes, I don't have to be afraid of him. But the question is, do I need to have a grudge against him for you?"
Yu Yan's whole body trembled when he heard these words, and he shouted: "No, no, no!"
Then he turned around and ran away.
Xu Baibing did not pursue him, but simply said: "Actually, I hope you can openly disobey me."
As he spoke, a sword flower suddenly lit up in the darkness, piercing Yu Yan's chest. A young and cold face appeared, but it was Xi Canhen.
Yu Yan saw it and said in despair: "Xi Canhen...Xu Baibing, you lied to me. It was clearly Tang Jie who asked you to kill..."
Before he finished speaking, he was already dead.
Xu Baibing looked at Xi Zuhen with admiration: "Your stealth assassination skills are getting better and better, but in my opinion there are still many problems. How about, as long as you are willing to follow me and become my disciple. I promise You will become a great master of Taoist assassins in the future, and you will definitely be the master of the secret hall. And only in this way can you keep up with Tang Jie."
The tone of his voice was actually full of persuasion. Considering Xu Baibing's identity, this was simply shocking.
Yu Yan guessed wrong. Tang Jie did not say anything to Xu Baibing about dealing with Yu Yan. Xi Canhen appeared here just because Xu Baibing admired him and wanted to accept him as his apprentice, and gave him this gift by the way.
When a person reaches a high enough position, he no longer has to do many things by himself. Countless people rush to do it for him, and even a commitment is not necessary.
The scene that happened in the secret hall also happened in other places.
Fengtang.
A middle-aged cultivator knelt down in front of the hall and begged loudly: "Hall Master, it was the villain's mistake. The lard should not have blinded Tang Jie's mind and wanted the spiritual beast rabbit. But the villain was wrong. After all, people will never succeed!"
This person was the cultivator who had taken a liking to Tutu back then and wanted to rob Tutu. He forced Tutu and Shi Jingzhai to run around before meeting Tang Jie in the fragment of the royal court. Now he is also going to be unlucky.
In the hall, An Yinglong flipped through the files and said calmly: "Of course you didn't succeed, so I didn't want you to die. I just asked you to go to the frontier to do some hard work, so why are you so sad and desperate? Don't worry. Well, as long as Tang Jie doesn't want you to die, I won't send people there to kill you. Just practice well there. Maybe in the future, your cultivation level will increase greatly, and you will magically kill me and put me to bed. Maybe Ying Long will step on the soles of his feet."
The middle-aged cultivator was completely desperate. In the bitter cold borderland, spiritual energy resources were scarce. If he practiced there, what future would he have in this life?
Such things like this happen in various places of the Xiyue Sect.
Fortunately, the Xiyue sect’s sect was quite decent, Tang Jie was considered a good person, and he didn’t have many real enemies. Those who went too far would simply reveal some things about old sesame seeds and rotten millet to gain favor. As a result, some people who had old grudges against Tang Jie were also unlucky, such as Long Tao.
This student, who had a bad relationship with Tang Jie in the academy, has been diligent since joining Xiyue Sect, and was officially promoted to Tianxin not long ago. Apply to become governor. He was already Tianxin, and it was natural to become the governor. However, he did not expect that as soon as Tang Jie came back, Long Tao's application was rejected for the first time, and his promotion path suffered a major setback. Finally, the matter was over, and no one made it difficult for him further. .
These things were not arranged by Tang Jie.
Of course, there are occasional exceptions.
Business hall.
This is the hall specifically responsible for the Xiyue Sect's business in various parts of the country and the collection of resources.
The master of the hall, Qian Ruhai, is white and fat, wearing a brocade, wearing a jade ring on his hand, and holding a gold abacus in his hand, which he dials endlessly all year round. He looks like a typical businessman, but no one dares to do this Look down on this merchant leader. The Shangtang is one of the most powerful members of the Xiyue Sect, and the person who can sit in this position must be the most powerful person. Back then, Qian Ruhai used his golden abacus to fight his way all the way to sit in this position.
Everyone knows that once the Smiling Buddha becomes angry, it will bleed into a sea of blood.
At this moment, the Smiling Buddha is looking at a person standing below with a smile.
That is a subordinate of his business hall, and he has always been smart and capable in his work.
This man has a fair face and no beard, his eyes are a bit sinister, and he looks a little sinister. At this moment, I was standing at the bottom, looking at Qian Ruhai in horror: "Master~IndoMTL.com~What did my subordinates do wrong to make you treat me like this?"
Qian Ruhai shook his head and sighed: "I don't know what you did wrong to offend Tang Jie. He didn't even pay attention to Yu Yan, who had offended him, but came to me personally and told Me, he wants you to die."
"Tang Jie?" The white-faced man trembled. He couldn't figure out how he offended the most popular person in the Xiyue Sect.
"But..." Qian Ruhai said in a long tone: "Tang Jie asked me to bring you a message."
"What did you say?"
“The Ma River floods Mengmengou.”
The white-faced man's whole body trembled when he heard this, and he stopped talking.
Seeing this situation, Qian Ruhai still didn't understand what happened. You must know that after Tang Jie entrusted him with the matter, he had investigated the matter about Ma He. Now it seems that what happened back then was not without cause, but Tang Jie was not from Mengmengou, but why he wanted to get justice for this matter, he didn't know, and he didn't bother to find out. At this moment, he just sighed and said: "The law of heaven is clear, and retribution is not good. Bai Tanzhen, have a good journey on the road to hell!" R1058
