Dynasty Call: Low-Key Struggle for Hegemony

Chapter 133 Conversation

As soon as they learned of Emperor Yu's death, the ambitious forces in each state were excited, and they had already prepared to attack and kill him tonight.

Not only King Xuan, but also King Ming and King Yu!

As if there was a tacit understanding between the forces in these states, they attacked and killed him that night.

Prince Yu's Mansion in Liangzhou has become a ruins and has become a battlefield for the strong men of the Tianwu Realm.

The terrifying battle between dozens of Tianwu Realm experts is still going on. Mighty energy is shooting out in the void, countless momentums are colliding, the void is rumbling under the pressure of the powerful power, invisible air waves are rolling out, and the ruins are originally The rocks turned into dust in the aftermath of their battle.

Only the central attic did not collapse.

In the attic, the extremely conspicuous King Yu, dressed in a white python robe, sat quietly at the desk, his head lowered and carefully wiping the wine bottle. He turned a deaf ear to the battle outside. His slow movements always revealed a noble temperament.

Boom!

The body of a powerful man in the Heavenly Martial Realm fell outside the attic.

…………

In the sky above Prince Ming's Mansion in Yizhou, there was the same terrifying battle, with sword lights and double shadows, sword marks and sword intent filling the sky, filled with endless evil aura.

Various terrifying moves explode in the air!

The floating clouds shattered and the air exploded!

Deafening!

When King Ming saw his subordinates fighting against a strong man in the Tianwu Realm, his heart was furious. His eyes revealed the ultimate killing intent, and a surging momentum shot straight into the sky!

He stretched out his hand, his figure moved, and at the same time he rushed towards the battlefield, a spear instantly flew into his hand!

The spear cut through the void, sending out a brilliant cold light that fell like lightning.

Clang!

One shot killed a peak Tianwu Realm expert in an instant!

boom!

The Heavenly Martial Realm assassin Ming Wang unexpectedly rushed up to fight. His eyes lit up, and he immediately threw away his opponent and all rushed towards Ming Wang!

"Haha, come on!"

When King Ming saw the surrounding Tianwu Realm powerhouses approaching, he laughed loudly, and the domineering figure stepped forward directly to meet him. The bright light of the spear in his hand shone in the sky, and the tip of the spear cracked with wind, and the entire space seemed to be torn apart...

Boom!

Above the endless night sky, a more terrifying level of battle continues, with vast power sweeping across all directions! The sky keeps trembling, and the dull sound can make people's hearts hurt from a long distance away!

……………………

Similarly, in Lingyuan Capital City, Li Yuan's Zhuang Mansion also secretly received a person.

Liu Qingquan, the leader of Lieyan Sect!

"Sect Master Liu, I have admired you for a long time!"

In the secret room, Li Yuan and Liu Qingquan sat opposite each other, a pot of hot tea emitting steam.

"His Royal Highness King Chu, I have wanted to see you for a long time."

Liu Qingquan has a handsome face, a middle-aged man's free and easy temperament, and a faint smile on his face. Although he exudes a peaceful aura, he still feels oppressive.

Facing Liu Qingquan's stressful gaze, Li Yuan remained calm and composed.

"I wonder if Sect Leader Liu came alone tonight or..."

Li Yuan met Liu Qingquan's gaze and asked softly.

Liu Qingquan understood what Li Yuan meant, smiled slightly and said: "Ximen Lintian and Jiang Kun are going to deal with Chu Junyan tonight, and my task is to deal with or block His Highness the King of Chu."

"Alas, my father has passed away."

Sadness flashed in Li Yuan's eyes. Everyone knew that Emperor Yu would pass away in the next few days, but the actual day always made people feel sad.

"Yes, your majesty, so talented and wise, has passed away."

Liu Qingquan also let out a cry of melancholy. He was Emperor Yu's secret chess and had stayed in Lingzhou for decades, but he was still loyal to Emperor Yu. Emperor Yu's last order was to obey King Chu.

The two were silent for a while.

Li Yuan slowly raised his head, frowned and asked:

"Sect Master Liu, do you think Chu Junyan and Chu Qingyan can stop the attacks from the Ximen Family and Zhongyi Hall?"

Regarding Chu Junyan and the others, Li Yuan really hoped that they could fight to the death tonight. It would be best if both sides suffered losses and Chu Junyan and Chu Qingyan escaped back to Zhaozhou.

Liu Qingquan shook his head and said: "We are prepared, but Zhenguo Mansion may not be without it. Zhenguo Mansion is really strong, but they are not willing to let this opportunity go."

"Do we have a hidden family in Lingzhou?"

"There is one, the Wang family."

Liu Qingquan showed a hint of solemnity. The hidden family was not truly reclusive, but acted as a behind-the-scenes person, controlling the outside world.

"The Wang family, a hidden family, is in Lingrong Mansion."

"Lingrong Mansion?"

Li Yuan's eyes flashed to Chu Qingyan's prefecture.

"Yes, the forces above the seventh level in the seven counties of Lingrong Mansion have direct or indirect connections with the Wang family."

"How strong is the Wang family?"

Li Yuan nodded slightly. The strength of the Hidden World Family may be large or small, but it has nothing to do with power. They just want to hide in Lingrong Mansion and not only take so much.

"There are at least two venerables in the Wang family who are above the Tianwu realm!"

At least two?

Li Yuan frowned. Once Emperor Yu died, any major force that dared to participate in troubled times would at least have an honorable person behind it.

The venerable mentioned here is an honorific title, which represents a state, the state of Dharma!

The Dharma Master Realm is a realm above the Tianwu Realm. Once you break through the Dharma Master Realm, you have understood the artistic conception and turned your energy into your intention. You can use the vitality of heaven and earth and have a lifespan of up to 800 years. You can destroy mountains and move mountains to fill the sea with a single movement of your hands.

Each realm above the Grandmaster realm is a qualitative change. The higher the realm, the more difficult it is to challenge the higher level. According to the records of the battles of the Venerable Dharma Master, no one has ever been able to fight against the Venerable Dharma Master Realm with a strong man from the Tianwu Realm. .

The Dharma Master Realm has mastered the artistic conception and can directly turn the void into reality. With a wave of his hand, he can easily kill the strongest person at the top of the Tianwu Realm!

There are nine mansions in Lingzhou: Lingyang Mansion, Lingyuan Mansion, Lingrong Mansion, Lingyan Mansion, Lingyun Mansion, Linghao Mansion, Linghong Mansion, Lingcang Mansion, and Linlie Mansion.

The Ximen family mainly controls two mansions, Ling Yan Mansion and Ling Hao Mansion.

The two main mansions controlled by Zhongyi Hall are Linghong Mansion and Lingcang Mansion.

Lieyan Sect mainly controls Lingyun Mansion and Linglie Mansion.

In fact, the Ximen family still controls the third mansion, Lingyuan mansion, so the Ximen family is the strongest among the three major forces.

Lingyang Mansion and Lingrong Mansion are jointly held by them, because the Wang family exists in Lingrong Mansion, so the three major powers give face to the Wang family and arrange some people symbolically.

Lingyang Mansion is the largest adjacent to Lingyuan Mansion in the east. In addition to Lingyuan Mansion, it is also adjacent to Lingyun Mansion.

Lingyun Mansion is the territory of Lieyan Sect.

Lingrong Mansion is located in a central location, adjacent to the four directions of southeast, northwest and six mansions.

The entire Lingzhou is roughly centered on Lingrong Mansion, with Lingyuan Mansion and Lingyang Mansion to the east.

To the west are Lingyan Mansion and Linghao Mansion.

To the north are Lingyun Mansion and Lingyie Mansion.

To the south are Linghong Mansion and Lingcang Mansion.

It can serve as a real buffer zone for the three major forces.

Liu Qingquan looked at Li Yuan deep in thought, and a flash of determination flashed in his eyes. Since he had chosen Li Yuan, he could only cooperate fully.

"Your Highness, there are two venerables in our Lieyan Sect, one in the middle stage of the Dharma Master Realm and one in the early stage of the Dharma Master Realm. There are a total of seventeen strong ones in the Tianwu Realm, including five who are at the peak of the Tianwu Realm."

Hearing Liu Qingquan's introduction, Li Yuan's eyes lit up, he raised his head and asked, "How many strong men are there at the Tianwu realm and above in the Ximen family and Zhongyi Hall?"

"The Ximen family used to be the most powerful force in Lingzhou, and there were three venerables. However, in more than 20 years of war, one venerable at the peak of the Dharma Realm was killed, and there is still one in the late Dharma Realm and one in the middle Dharma Realm. , and that person at the late stage of the Dharma Master Realm was seriously injured, and I don’t know if he is better now. There are more than thirty people at the Tianwu Realm, but more than ten were lost because of the battle with Chu Junyan, and now there are about twenty Tianwu Realm people. Strong."

"And there is only one venerable in Zhongyi Hall, who is at the late stage of the Dharma Master Realm, and there are fifteen powerful people in the Tianwu Realm."

"And the Zhenguo Mansion has at least sent one venerable person to be by Chu Junyan's side, and I suspect that Chu Junyan may have broken through to the Dharma Master Realm."

When Liu Qingquan talked about Zhenguo Mansion, his eyes were full of solemnity. This was the largest force under the royal family of the Dayu Dynasty, and its strength was unfathomable.

"oh?"

When Li Yuan heard that Chu Junyan had broken through to the Dharma Master Realm, he felt a flash of surprise, rubbed his chin with his slender fingers, and muttered:

"Sect Master Liu, do you think there is a possibility that the Wang family has joined forces with Chu Junyan?"

Liu Qingquan glanced at Li Yuan unexpectedly and said in a deep voice:

"Your Highness, the Wang family suddenly came to us two days ago. They also felt that Chu Junyan was a huge threat in Lingzhou and expressed that they wanted to work with us to deal with Chu Junyan."

"oh?"

"Is there any Wang family involved in tonight's operation?"

Li Yuan tightened his grip on the teacup, thinking something bad in his heart.

If his guess is wrong, then fortunately, Chu Junyan may not really lose.

In an offensive and defensive battle, the defending side always has a certain advantage.

But his guess was true. If Wang Jiazhen joined forces with Chu Junyan, then the people sent by the Ximen family and Zhongyi Hall would be finished.

It can be imagined that in this assassination, the person who carried out the assassination must be a strong person in the Tianwu Realm, even a venerable person.

If the high-end combat power of the Ximen Family and Zhongyi Hall were destroyed in this battle, it would be enough to severely damage both parties. Coupled with the Wang Family and Chu Junyan joining forces, it would be easy to destroy them!

Liu Qingquan shook his head and sighed: "No!"

"Because our guess is the same as His Highness's, because the Wang family suddenly wanted to form an alliance, which aroused Ximen Lintian's suspicion. In order to avoid unnecessary problems, we have pretended to be in alliance with the Wang family, but tonight's battle will not be fought with the Wang family. , and assassinating Chu Junyan tonight is just a kind of temptation."

Li Yuan narrowed his eyes, looked at Liu Qingquan and said, "So they also suspect Lieyan Sect?"

"That's right!"

Liu Qingquan showed a wry smile, and the Lieyan Sect of Lingyang Prefecture gave up a county to the King of Chu. The reason was reasonable, and like the Ximen family, he could barely fool him.

But in Lingyuan Mansion, Li Yuan succeeded in a surprise attack on six Tianwu Realm experts in Lingyuan Mansion overnight. He took the initiative in Lingyuan Mansion without the reaction of other forces, shocking a large number of people.

What is the most important thing for success in this game?

intelligence!

Whether it is the powerful Tianwu Realm sent by the three major forces, or the three hidden Tianwu Realm.

The king of Chu could accurately know the realm and position of each of them.

This shows that a spy may have appeared among the three major forces, and they have tipped off the King of Chu!

Zhongyi Tang suffered the heaviest losses in Lingyang Mansion. Wu Zhixiong's death was enough to prove that Zhongyi Tang was not the King of Chu's people.

And the Ximen family is trying its best to suppress Chu Junyan, and it is impossible for the King of Chu to become big.

Then only Lieyan Sect is left.

Of course, they were just a little skeptical and not sure. After all, the royal family had extraordinary methods, so maybe they could detect the information.

If their suspicions were wrong, it would be equivalent to pushing Lieyan Sect to the opposite side.

"What is the overall attitude of Lieyan Sect towards this king?"

Li Yuan asked.

Now Li Yuan has two options before him:

One is to directly expose the Lieyan Sect. In this way, Li Yuan's power will skyrocket and he will control the four prefectures. Moreover, Li Yuan can also complete the system tasks and draw two more people to be outstanding.

But the disadvantage is obvious. Li Yuan will lose his biggest trump card at this stage.

Originally, the center of the battle in Lingzhou was Chu Junyan and the three major forces, but now Li Yuan suddenly became the largest force in Lingzhou. As a member of the royal family, what if Chu Junyan suddenly made peace with the Ximen family and jointly dealt with Li Yuan?

And as Li Yuan said, what is the attitude of the Lieyan Sect as a whole towards him? Emperor Yu’s chess piece must be just one of several core figures of the Lieyan Sect. It is impossible that the entire Lieyan Sect is his chess piece. What if the Lieyan Sect Some elders were dissatisfied and started a split under the instigation of discord by former friends such as the Ximen family and Zhongyi Hall.

When the time comes, they are faced with Chu Junyan and the four major forces of the Ximen family. There is a fire in the backyard, and they are directly in a dilemma.

Another option is to continue hiding to dispel the suspicions of the Ximen family and Zhongyi Hall. Because the Wang family has temporarily alliance with the three major forces, it is inevitable that he will alliance with Chu Junyan and Chu Qingyan.

So it is unclear whether the Wang family is Chu Junyan's behind-the-scenes plot.

With the existence of the Lieyan Sect, Li Yuan can understand the movements of the three major forces, and the Lieyan Sect will be a turning point in the key battles in the future.

Both have their pros and cons, after all, the future is unknown.

Therefore, Li Yuan wanted to determine the true situation of Lieyan Sect.

Liu Qingquan pondered for a while, then met Li Yuan's gaze and said:

"Now, in addition to me, the Lieyan Sect also has the Supreme Elder and five core elders who are loyal to His Highness. My daughter Liu Yanxin also knows that the Holy Son Yang Changkong was once sent by me to meet His Highness. There may be some speculation later, but in When Ling Yan Mansion reinforced the Ximen family to fight Chu Junyan, he was ambushed and killed by Chu Qingyan's subordinates Xing Daorong and Wu Yong.

Therefore, most of the senior officials in the Lieyan Sect only thought that we were going to hedge our bets and secretly preserve the strength of the Lieyan Sect, so the elders were very cooperative.

As long as His Highness wants to, there is no problem for Lieyan Sect to surrender to His Highness. "

Liu Qingquan's last words were very confident, and the sect leader's aura of being true to his words arose spontaneously.

Li Yuan showed an apology and said to Liu Qingquan:

"Sect Master Liu, I would like to trouble you to be patient for a while longer. Prince Chu's Mansion still needs development."

"Respect His Highness's order."

Liu Qingquan's face was serious, but he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. If Lieyan Sect stood in front of King Chu now, he would be under great pressure.

Seeing that Liu Qingquan had no strange expression, Li Yuan nodded with satisfaction, then stood up and said with a smile:

"Then let's have a show tonight to see the style of the strong men of Lieyan Sect!"

Liu Qingquan also stood up and said with a smile:

"But, because tonight's assassination attempt by the Ximen Family and Zhongyi Hall is also a test, I have sent seven Tianwu Realm elders to secretly descend on Lingyuan Capital City."
