Chapter 1178 Lone Cangyan
The three people who were still in the hall didn't care at all about Chai Yuguan's departure.
After this quiet and depressing atmosphere lasted for five minutes, the masked man spoke first.
"How did Master Murong know about me? In other words, how can you confirm that the person who has been secretly cooperating with the Northern Barbarian Yingzhao royal family is me, Jiang Tianxiong."
"Before saying the name, I should also add that he is a kind-hearted person named Jiang, who actively resisted the invasion from the Northern Frontier and even privately funded the Ghost Market."
Murong Fu played with the feather of the Shang sheep in his hand, and there was a different color in his eyes.
The lucky attribute bestowed by the Shangyang Feather not only allows him to avoid the impending disaster at the lowest cost, but also guides him to the right place and make friends with people who can help him.
This is the case with both of the people in front of me.
These two are hidden masters in the Northeast Province.
The former sponsored the Ghost Market on the surface, but secretly colluded with the Northern Barbarians. While taking advantage of both sides, he also made a name for himself as a great philanthropist. At the same time, he secretly established an organization, Tianyi City.
The masters who were brought in with his special permission to attend the meeting were the important backbone of Tianyi City.
Murong Fu had observed these people carefully and found that none of them could be his opponent in a one-on-one fight, but if they joined forces, they would become very difficult for him to deal with. And this Jiang Dacai, who appeared to be a kind man in public but was the Lord of Tianyi City in secret, made him feel truly threatened.
Among the three Dharma realms, the only one who can be comparable to him is Xuanyuan Dapan and the Lord of Tianyi City, Jiang Tianxiong.
Murong Fu could vaguely guess that this person should be the undiscovered destiny body, or even with the intelligence channels of those players, it would be difficult to find information about this person's destiny body, but just looking at this method of playing both sides was enough to make him wary.
At the same time, because Tianyi City, which has grown silently in the shadows, is indeed a good bargaining chip, he can only force this person to join the gambling table in this way.
After all, this kind of person might actually have the means to continue lurking in obscurity.
At this moment, Jiang Tianxiong looked at Murong Fu with great fear.
He is the body of destiny.
But it is an extremely special game destiny body, which also means that the memories he obtained have several branches, some successful and some failed, which is why he cannot have an accurate grasp of his own destiny.
[Jiang Tianxiong is a mysterious character who appears in "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" and "The Legend of Sword and Fairy: Prequel". He has multiple identities while traveling around the world.
Later in the "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" DLC "The King Returns", it was confirmed that this person was the Lord of Tianyi City, also the Heluo Knight, the leader of the martial arts world, the coach of the Imperial Guards, and the commander of the Western Factory.
He is extremely scheming and has extraordinary martial arts skills. He possesses the peerless martial arts Disha Wuji Gong, but usually he only uses a set of Tiangang Fist to hide his identity. He is extremely ambitious. He once sent his confidants to both sides of the emperor, controlled the West Factory to counter the East Factory, organized Tianyi City to eliminate dissidents in the martial arts world and the court, and instigated a 20-year dispute between the Tianlong Sect and the righteous martial arts world. He also attempted to annihilate all the martial artists, regardless of whether they were good or evil, at Tiandu Peak.
Later, in the ending of another branch line of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy: Prequel", he recruited a group of powerful subordinates left by the old man who wards off evil, and gathered all the major villains in the original story except the Tianlong Sect, and launched a decisive battle with the Alliance of Righteousness in the name of Tianyi City.
The prestige, means and strength he displayed were in no way inferior to the protagonist of the Overlord Evil Path, Dongfang Weiming, who had accomplished the unification of the martial arts world. 】
And with the help of the attraction between this fateful body, he found Xincan, Nun Mulian, Hetuo, Kui Shi, Ouyang Xiao, and Jiuyin, who were the stage BOSSes in "The Prequel to The Legend of Sword and Fairy", in advance, and persuaded them to join Tianyi City with his personal charm.
Originally, he planned to continue hiding. Unlike the other people in the hall, his public identity had a good relationship with Wangyou Ghost Market and [Knife Maniac and Sword Maniac].
More importantly, as the destined body of the game in this series, he had contact with Fang Yunhua. Both sides tacitly did not expose each other, or in other words, neither of them would reveal their own scars about these unspeakable dark pasts.
This also gave him full confidence that even if faced with the Ghost Market's occupation of the entire Northeastern provincial capital, he could rely on this big tree and continue to develop Tianyi City in secret.
If he had the opportunity to realize his ambitions, he would certainly not miss the possibility of standing on top.
But if the Ghost Market continues to show such powerful strength, he can continue to be the good man Jiang. After all, for him, the destined body of the game whose endings are not very good in various branch plots, he can also use the Death Pawn Shop to eliminate the fate that makes him feel uneasy.
But now everything has been ruined by Murong Fu.
The other party got the letters of secret communication between him and the Yingzhao royal family, and even threatened him to join the powerful alliance formed by this Heroes Conference, otherwise he would destroy Tianyi City first.
After bringing so many masters to participate this time, Jiang Tianxiong has also discovered that although his strength is improving at a fast rate, he is still far from being a real strong man because he has not yet reached the Dharma Realm.
Even though any one of his subordinates, such as Xincan, Nun Mulian, Hetuo, Kuishi, Ouyang Xiao and Jiuyin, could compete with the so-called evil leaders present, they could not threaten those three.
Especially the middle-aged man in front of him, who gave him a hint of similarity.
“Lord Tianyi, you should also see the potential of our alliance. Although it cannot threaten the real top forces, it is much stronger than the former Sword Casting Hall and Heavenly Sword Sect.
So, I hope we don’t have any unpleasantness next time.”
Murong Fu took out part of the letter and handed it to the other party.
“This is sincerity and apology. If it is not necessary, I really don’t want to confront someone like you, but time waits for no one. As for the rest, I will hand it all over to you after this operation is successfully concluded.
Of course, by then, this won't be a threat to you anymore.
In the final analysis, what you have always been worried about is that the people in the Ghost Market know that the hidden side of you, Mr. Jiang, is too sinister and vicious, and thus they will use some tough measures against you.
Therefore, you should want this plan to succeed more than I do.”
Jiang Tianxiong took the letters without saying a word, and with a burst of energy from his hand, the letters were torn into pieces.
Then he first looked at Murong Fu deeply, and then looked with some fear at the powerful Dharma Realm expert who volunteered to be Murong Fu's background and was smiling all the time. Then he nodded and left the hall.
As the door of the hall closed again, the mysterious strong man spoke.
"Mr. Murong, are you borrowing my influence?"
"I just asked you to take a look at Jiang Tianxiong first. After all, Tianyi City is very good, quite good." When Murong Fu looked at the mysterious strong man, he no longer showed his strength in the face of Jiang Tianxiong.
With the guidance of Shang Yang Zhiyu, it didn't take much effort for him to temporarily control Jiang Tianxiong, but he had no idea about the person in front of him.
Because their meeting was accidental, their acquaintance was accidental, and it wasn't too difficult for the other party to agree to participate in this Heroes Conference.
On the contrary, Murong Fu needed to take the initiative to give him some benefits in order to appease his own anxiety.
The mysterious strong man from "Tianyi City" shook his head slightly and said, "In today's world, great power belongs to oneself. If you have the combat power of Tianyan Realm, you can advance and retreat freely even when facing the siege of the Six Paths Legion.
And if one were to be promoted to the Immortal Realm, then the so-called top forces would be insignificant.
People only see the rapid development of the Ghost Market, but ignore that the Ghost Lord, the lord of the Ghost Market, is growing at an equally terrifying rate.
Of course, we cannot ignore the help that a certain force can provide to our own cultivation, but some tedious matters will take up a lot of time, which is putting the cart before the horse."
Murong Fu nodded. He naturally agreed with this theory. After all, there were two paths in front of him before. One was to become the patriarch of the Shangyang clan and continue to be one of the Ten Kings of the Northern Frontier, quietly accumulating strength.
The second is to achieve self-realization through the lives of all the tribesmen.
The result is obvious, his judgment is correct.
Now, among the ten royal families in Northern Frontier, seven have been destroyed. Chitie and Ji Meng boarded the spaceship of Ghost Market, but they could only become its minions and had to put away the brutal side of their nature.
Guiche joined the Northern Border Palace, and that bunch of crazy Gong family members actually began to rectify their own style of work.
The three surviving families have lost a certain degree of freedom. Should this be considered fortunate or unfortunate?
Only I am still free and easy.
"Senior, I'll trouble you next." Murong Fu stood up and bowed respectfully.
The mysterious strong man nodded, then walked out of the hall. But when he was about to push open the door, he suddenly turned back and said.
"Formally introduce myself, this old man is Gu Cangyan."
[Gu Cangyan, from the game "New Peerless Twins III".
The founder of Feiyan Villa, he helped Qiu Qiu (Jiang Yulang in The Twins) to establish the Qiuhuang Palace, and at the same time he organized martial artists in the martial arts world to fight against the Qiuhuang Palace in order to dominate the martial arts world.
During this period, he used the protagonist and his companions to obtain the world's number one magical skill, "The Art of Killing the Gods". After absorbing all of Yan Nantian's strength and successfully cultivating the first level of the Art of Killing the Gods, he killed Yan Nantian when he succeeded and no longer concealed his ambitions.
Afterwards, he was tricked by Jiang Xiaoyu and lured to the Shenwu Palace with the intention of becoming a god. At the Fengshen Platform, he fought against Jiang Yulang, who had absorbed the blood of the fire fox clan and became a half-demon.
Jiang Yulang was defeated, and Gu Cangyan suffered round after round of attrition battles from Jiang Wuque and Jiang Xiaoyu. At this moment, Gu Cangyan had only cultivated the third level of the Soul-Slaying Art, and was still seriously injured. However, according to Jiang Xiaoyu's evaluation, he still possessed strength similar to Yan Nantian who was at his peak during the third generation period.
That is to say, in this state, he can still be comparable to Yao Yue, the DLC version BOSS who can use his soul body to escape thousands of miles away.
Until the protagonist and his party (the next generation of Jiang Wuque and Jiang Xiaoyu) arrived at the Conferred God Platform and were defeated by him.
He was ambushed by Jiang Yulang again, and his skills were absorbed by him, leading to his tragic death.
Even though Jiang Yulang is the final boss, he is not the strongest in the series. In fact, Gu Cangyan, who has mastered the triple-level Soul-Destroying Art, was regarded by the five scattered people of the time as the strongest person who has the greatest hope of breaking away from the checks and balances of the three realms of heaven, earth and man. 】
Then, looking at Gu Cangyan's back, Murong Fu frowned slightly.
Because he still couldn't understand the other party's thoughts. More importantly, the name Gu Cangyan was too unfamiliar and did not exist in the fate books he was familiar with.
However, the aura and demeanor displayed by the other party clearly showed that he was not someone who could be easily dealt with.
Is this what they call a late bloomer?
Murong Fu shook his head. He knew very well that if he had not found this person, the other party would probably still be practicing silently in that small mountain village, with an attitude of being invincible as soon as he was born. And as a master who had once broken through to the Dharma Realm.
He could also clearly sense that among the three Dharma Realm masters participating in the conference, Gu Cangyan was definitely the strongest.
Even the other two combined might not be his match.
So what was the purpose of Gu Cangyan joining?
Now he would rather the other party show a bit of greed for Tianyi City, because the more he appears to be indifferent, the more it shows that neither he, Murong Fu, nor this Heroes Conference can satisfy his appetite.
And because of Shang Yang Zhiyu's guidance, Murong Fu knew very well that the joining of Gu Cangyan would definitely bring more benefits than disadvantages to him.
"Hey"
The leader of the alliance who had given Fang Qiu instructions in the previous meeting let out a heavy sigh at this moment.
Then he rubbed his eyebrows, and when he opened his eyes again, there was no confusion or worry in his eyes anymore.
-
On the other side, inside Yaofo City.
Wang Yuyan was walking leisurely on the street. This place was a test field for players to build their own cities. There were more novel things than in the ghost market, because after all, not all novel things in reality would attract people to pursue them.
We also have to consider the issue of acclimatization. For example, some of the players' modern outfits are still a bit too advanced in today's era.
Including the players themselves, unless they are participating in some private gatherings, they are unwilling to wear modern clothes. Instead, many people are more obsessed with those knights' ancient costumes.
At this moment, outside a shop selling modern clothes on the street, Wang Yuyan saw an extremely eccentric person.
The other person was wearing a hip-hop hat that covered most of his face. The big gold chain around his neck was particularly conspicuous in the sun. He was carrying a speaker on his shoulder. While talking to the player store owner, he was also beating the beat and rapping on the spot.
“So crazy”
Wang Yuyan frowned slightly. She admitted that she still couldn't adapt to this so-called fashion. Even in a free city like Yaofo City with an open atmosphere, some residents of the city and players who were still working frantically, when they noticed the rapper, subconsciously kept a distance from him.
Wang Yuyan tried to avoid him as much as possible. She remembered that the original author who hosted the news with her said that if she saw this kind of startled little yellow-haired guy, she must stay away from him, otherwise she would be in trouble.
So Wang Yuyan was very obedient and prepared to turn around and leave.
But just as he took a step forward, the rap voice suddenly stopped, and then after an exclamation, the voice shouted his name with great joy.
"Sister Yuyan! Sister Yuyan! It's me! Your cousin!"
Looking at Duan Yu who suddenly jumped in front of her, and noticing the various strange looks from all around, Wang Yuyan silently clenched her fists. (End of this chapter)
