Chapter 287: The Collusion in the Hall of Starlight (1)
Chapter 287: Conspiracy in the Starlight Hall (I)
Xiao Zheng and Lin Yike floated out of the small room, and the black demonic energy around them gradually dissipated, revealing their figures.
In his previous life, Xiao Zheng had countless interactions with Sanguang City. Although he had never had a direct relationship with the master of the three halls, he had contacted many outstanding disciples of the three halls. Therefore, he was not only familiar with the uniqueness of the three halls, but also came up with some ways to deal with it.
Just now, he used the demonic energy around his body to isolate the perception and exploration of the Lord of the Starlight Palace.
However, his current strength is still a little different from that of the Starlight Hall Master, so he can only be isolated for a while. If he fights with the other party, he will be cracked by the other party in just three or four rounds.
But his current purpose is not to fight against the other party.
According to Lin Yike, as long as they show a little ability to scare the other party, they can shock the other party, and fortunately they have the advantage and dominance in the subsequent conversation.
"Master of Starlight Palace, Lord Chenlong, for the first time meeting, please allow me to introduce myself."
Xiao Zheng gave a tribute and expressed his respect for the other party.
After all, the Lord of Starlight Palace is a strong man, and according to Xiao Zheng's understanding, he should have practiced to the middle stage of the Shura Realm. Although he is a little worse than the Lord of Hanbing City, combined with his special abilities, even if the Lord of Hanbing City comes in person, he may not be able to defeat him.
The Lord of the Starlight Palace, Chen Long, looked a little relieved after seeing Xiao Zheng as polite, but the vigilance in his heart did not weaken at all.
The other party was able to find out his real name, which surprised Chen Long, the Lord of Starlight Palace.
It has been more than 300 years since he became the Lord of the Starlight Palace. During these more than 300 years, almost everyone did not remember his real name, but only remembered his title, Shura Powerful, and Lord of the Starlight Palace.
Since the other party can know his name, they must have found out some other things, right?
Chen Long, the master of Starlight Palace, guessed in his heart.
However, he didn't guess completely.
Although Han Xichao and the others investigated it and found a lot of information about the three halls, these are all superficial things and deeper, but they are vague.
However, Xiao Zheng, an alternative person, had a very deep understanding of Sanguang City in his previous life. As his main target of attack, the Three Halls naturally spent a lot of his experience and learned a lot of secrets.
"Xiao Zheng is now a core disciple of the inner sect of Hanbing City and is about to become the latest member of the elders of Hanbing City. This is my fellow disciple and is the candidate for the next Lord of the Crystal Palace."
Xiao Zheng's expression was not changed when he said this, and he was very natural and calm, which made Chen Long believe his words immediately.
Lin Yike behind Xiao Zheng couldn't help but think in his heart: Xiao Zheng was so smooth when he told lies, his expression remained unchanged, and his heartbeat was not even a trace of disorder. I really don't know what he said to me before, what was true and what was lies.
But what she didn't know was that what Xiao Zheng said was not entirely a lie.
The strength of Lin Yike is obvious to all in Hanbing City. It is understandable to become the next owner of the Crystal Palace.
At least, no one has ever appeared yet, and he can surpass her in this regard. As long as her martial arts practice reaches a certain level, the current Crystal Palace Master Tang Zhiqing will announce this news without hesitation.
This is what Han Xichao said to Xiao Zheng in private. Although Tang Zhiqing and Han Xichao are not disciples of the same generation, she is familiar with Han Xichao's elder brother Han Jingxiong, so the two of them usually have contacts.
As for Xiao Zheng, when he learned the importance of the five-serial missions from Han Xichao, he knew his position in Hanbing City in the future.
The members of the Elders Group were just his lowest status. Deacon Tang notified him after he completed three tasks, but because time was too tight, he was only notified and had not really allowed him to enter the Elders Group.
The elders of Hanbing City are not just a few elders.
Its structure is very complex. The top ones are three supreme elders, and the bottom ones are five inner elders and ten outer elders. Some of these elders have entered the elder group because of their strong strength, some have excellent abilities, and some have the strong family behind them.
In addition to the eighteen elders, there are dozens of deacons and managers. After all, the elders' group has many things to do on their own, so it is impossible for these elders to do it themselves, right?
According to Xiao Zheng's understanding, this elder group is like a cabinet on earth, headed by the Prime Minister, and others assume different responsibilities, forming the power structure of the entire Han Bing City. This is not only the division of power between them, but also the division between the forces they are in and the forces they are in.
Members other than elders, like members of parliament, have the right to put forward their own opinions and handle various detailed things in normal times, but the decision-making power is not in their hands.
Therefore, although Xiao Zheng became a member of the Elders Group, he actually had not much power.
However, Xiao Zheng didn't care about these things, but sometimes he could still scare many people when he took out this title.
This is what Xiao Zheng thinks now.
Sure enough, after hearing Xiao Zheng's introduction, the Lord of Starlight Palace Chen Long was stunned at first, and then his eyes suddenly changed a lot.
Although the two people in front of him are not strong and look quite young, their identities are enough to talk to him.
However, the other two actually came from Hanbing City!
This surprised Chen Long.
Not to mention, at this time, Sanguang City is planning to deal with Hanbing City. How can these two people with great identities leave behind the things in the city and come to the enemy? It’s just that why the other party comes to him now?
Chen Long was puzzled, but he was still from Sanguang City after all, so he snorted coldly and said.
"Why do people from Hanbing City appear in my Sanguang City? Are you not afraid that I will take you two and threaten Hanbing City?"
Xiao Zheng smiled calmly and said, "Lord Chenlong doesn't have to threaten us. Although our status is not low in the eyes of others, we do not have any real power in Hanbing City. Even if we die, we have just lost two disciples with some talent. Someone will come to the bench soon. Do you think Hanbing City will have some concerns for the sake of us?"
Xiao Zheng’s words make sense.
Of course, this was not what he thought of himself, but what Lin Yike gave advice.
This is also the reason why it was the two of them who came this time, not Han Xichao.
Han Xichao is too important for Han Bingcheng. Once it appears in front of Chen Long, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not have any thoughts to arrest Han Xichao and threaten the Han family.
Xiao Zheng and Lin Yike are different. Although they are now able to enter the leadership level of Hanbing City, they are just alternate roles at this stage. Although it is a pity to lose, it will not hinder the overall situation.
Chen Long also figured this out, but his face became even worse.
"Even so, killing you two will be beneficial to my Sanguang City's morale."
Xiao Zheng put his arm around Lin Yike's slender waist and smiled and said, "You can't."
However, in just four short words, Chen Long felt a strong sense of confidence from Xiao Zheng.
Where did he get such strong confidence?
Chen Long hesitated and relieved the attack in secret.
"Speak your purpose."
Chen Long exposed his appearance and revealed his true face. At this time, his face was quiet, and he could not see any joy, anger, sorrow and happiness. The light in his eyes completely faded, but it gave people an extremely deep feeling. Although the momentum around him was not as sharp as before, it made people feel a powerful force of pressure.
Lin Yike's face turned pale when suppressed by this power, and the true energy in her body was difficult to control. At this moment, a gentle aura came from her waist, which immediately weakened the power she was subjected to.
She looked up at Xiao Zheng, but found that he had not changed at all.
But then, Lin Yike noticed that the hand that Xiao Zheng placed on his waist began to hold it tightly. Obviously, although there was nothing on the surface, Xiao Zheng was still invincible when facing the powerful man in the Shura realm.
However, in Chen Long's eyes, this was not the case. He could not see Xiao Zheng's hand, and could only feel it from Xiao Zheng's momentum, but did not notice that he had weakened at all.
Lin Yike endured the pain in her waist and tried her best to hide Xiao Zheng's changes at this time.
"On behalf of Hanbing City, I would like to propose cooperation negotiations with Xingguang Hall."
Xiao Zheng said this sentence word by word, and then stared at Chen Long tightly.
Chen Long sneered, obviously not taking Xiao Zheng's words seriously. In his opinion, the boy in front of him obviously couldn't see the current situation clearly.
"Boy, can't you see the current situation? As long as our Sanguang City unite, can the Hanbing City without Hanbashi stop us? Cooperate with me? What can you do to cooperate with?"
Xiao Zheng felt that the momentum that was pressing him tightly relaxed, and he immediately let go of the hand that grabbed Lin Yike's waist and replied.
"The Lord of the Palace doesn't have to treat me as a child."
Xiao Zheng changed his name. He used to respect the other party as a strong man, but now he represents Hanbing City, so he speaks with the same attitude.
"Although my city lord was injured due to the sneak attack by the Yuan family, it will recover soon. What you have to face at that time is still a united cold war city. Although Sanguang City has gathered all its forces and its strength will increase greatly, there are constant internal disputes. It may not be obvious in the early stage of the war. As long as it takes a while, conflicts will surely break out. What benefits can you do? At most, it is just annexing some small forces."
"As long as we win the Hanbing City in the initial stage, what else can we be afraid of?"
Chen Long retorted.
"Even if Sanguang City defeats the Han family in the end, the one who benefits the most will be the Yuan family, not the three halls, and it will not be your Starlight Hall." Xiao Zheng said bluntly, "Among the three halls, Sunguang Hall has the strongest strength, and the Moonlight Hall has the highest people's hearts, and Starlight Hall is not as good as in both aspects. And if the Yuan family swallows Hanbing City and strengthens itself in one fell swoop, they will deal with it at that time, Lord Lord, who do you think it will be?"
Is there any need to ask? The current union is just because the Yuan family is not strong enough. If the strength is strong enough, who would allow three irregular bombs to exist in their backyard? At that time, the Yuan family will definitely deal with three major halls, and those small forces are not afraid of it.
The meaning in Xiao Zheng's words is very obvious. The Yuan family united all the forces in Sanguang City, just to add firewood to him and help him attack Hanbing City. The benefits will definitely be occupied by the Yuan family. At that time, after the Yuan family handles the matter of Hanbing City, they will definitely turn around to deal with their former allies, and they will definitely have to take action from the Three Great Masters.
The Sunlight Palace and the Moonlight Palace are too troublesome to deal with, so the first thing the Yuan family needs to solve is definitely the Starlight Palace.
Chen Long had concerns about this before, but he did not directly analyze it in front of him like Xiao Zheng.
His face turned pale and his face changed a few times, obviously he was already considering Xiao Zheng's words.
I thought I couldn't write it out... so I didn't update it together, so I've updated it together now.
Chapter completed!
