A confidential elders' meeting in the Beast King's Pavilion ended and everyone dispersed.
Although the strategy of attacking the Red Gang was decided, no specific actions were decided at the meeting. In order to keep it confidential, everyone's tasks were assigned directly by the Pavilion Master and the two great elders. Everyone only knows what they want to do, but not the tasks of others. Even if the news is leaked, it will not cause the entire plan to go bankrupt.
This confidential meeting was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, causing waves, but they quickly disappeared and everything returned to calm.
The calmness on the surface of the lake does not mean that the bottom of the lake is also so peaceful.
The senior elders of the Beast Emperor Pavilion have never lacked patience. The Red Clothes Gang frequently sent out a large number of spies to investigate the intelligence of the guards in the mining area. It was obvious that they were ready to take action, but the elders of the Beast Emperor Pavilion just ignored it as if they could not see it.
As the five-year-old date for the election of the new Lord of Yinhuang City by the ten major forces in the Ancient Land of Ancestral Gods approaches, there has been an undercurrent in the city, only to cause a huge wave.
Every time at this time, Yinhuang City is extremely lively. Of course, this is also the time when major forces form cliques and fight overtly and covertly. No one knows who will be the next city lord until the final result comes out.
Obviously, almost all other forces, large and small, are not willing to see the Beast King Pavilion continue to serve as the third city lord after serving two consecutive terms as city lord. They were very worried that in the long run, everyone's Yin Imperial City might turn into the Yin Imperial City of the Beast Emperor Pavilion.
The atmosphere in the city was naturally very tense. There were rival forces, and there were many martial artists who went to war over a disagreement.
There are even many forces, big and small, that deliberately allow their subordinates to cause trouble and cause trouble over nothing.
The black-armored guards of Yinhuang City patrol the streets almost all the time, arresting and driving away troublemakers.
As the day for the re-election of the city lord approaches, the Beast Emperor Pavilion does not have enough guard strength in the city, so it is "forced" to mobilize a large number of forces from other stations to return to Yinhuang City to maintain public security and order in the city.
Ye Fan, Han Ziyi, Ye Jinlong and many other Wuhou captains were also transferred back to the city in the name of strengthening the defense of Yinhuang City. As a result, the defensive force in the chaotic mining area naturally became much weaker.
…
Yinhuang Inn.
Early that morning, Ye Fan left the big inn and was about to patrol the city area he was responsible for. So far, as the captain of the garrison, he has only one task - to patrol.
As soon as he went out, he saw a small carriage pulled by two snow spirit horses parked at the door of the big inn.
There is a logo of the Beast Emperor Pavilion on the carriage, which is obviously the vehicle of the Beast Emperor Pavilion.
"Captain Ye, please get on the carriage, there is someone waiting for you in the carriage!"
An old groom asked respectfully in a low voice.
Ye Fan was confused and opened the curtain and got into the carriage.
He saw a young woman with plain makeup sitting in the carriage. She was wearing a purple jade phoenix mask, revealing a pair of beautiful eyes as clear as autumn water. She was wearing a snow-white dress, with an elegant posture, sitting quietly and calmly. On the carriage.
Although her face was obscured by a mask, her unparalleled temperament was heart-stopping.
Ye Fan looked slightly shaken.
He did not expect that Gu Xinyue, the master of the Beast Emperor Pavilion, would actually be in the carriage and appear in front of him without any warning.
My heart couldn't help but thump.
The Pavilion Master will not appear for no reason. Could it be that the Beast Emperor Pavilion is going to take major action today?
"Why are you here in person?"
Ye Fan bowed his hands in salute and sat down in the carriage, looking a little reserved.
Gu Xinyue obviously came in secret, so he did not address the pavilion master to avoid being noticed.
"Captain Ye definitely didn't expect me to show up here. There are many people in the city, so let's wait until we get out of the city."
Gu Xinyue smiled lightly.
Although it was a two-seater carriage, it was obviously originally prepared for one person only, and the interior space was not large.
The small carriage can only accommodate two people sitting side by side, almost next to each other. There is a faint herbaceous smell in the carriage.
The carriage walked slowly and quickly and soon left the city.
The ground outside the city is not flat.
As the vehicle bumped, Gu Xinyue's delicate body swayed, and her delicate body occasionally touched Mark.
Ye Fan could feel the warm body temperature transmitted from her soft and elastic body.
A string in his heart was tense, and his whole body was a little stiff.
He had never been in such close contact with a martial arts master.
What's more, he is the city lord of Yinhuang City, the most powerful force in the Ancient Land of Ancestral Gods, and the enigmatic master of the Beast King Pavilion.
At this close range, if King Wu wanted to kill him, it would only be a matter of seconds, and he would not be able to effectively resist.
With a smile, Gu Xinyue looked curiously at Ye Fan's slightly stiff expression at close range, and chuckled with a bit of teasing: "How can a legendary figure like Captain Ye be nervous?"
"The Pavilion Master is joking! As the Lord of Yin Emperor City and the Lord of the Beast Emperor Pavilion, you are the most powerful person in the ancient land of the Ancestral God. Anyone else would be nervous sitting here."
Ye Fan said softly.
Gu Xinyue chuckled, suppressed her smile, and said seriously: "No more joking, let's talk about business. Today, the ten major forces in the Ancient Land of Ancestral Gods gathered at the City Lord's Mansion in Yinhuang City to prepare for the election of a new City Lord. The information we received, The Red Clothes Gang is preparing to take action today. The main force of their brigade has already lurked near the Chaos Mining Area. But there is no need to worry. Elder Jian has personally led the brigade to the Chaos Mining Area. The Red Clothes Gang cannot take advantage at all. We just need to complete our Just what needs to be done."
Ye Fan's eyes were cold.
It's not surprising that the Red Gang is planning to pick this moment to take action. According to common sense, in order to secure the position of the city lord, the Beast King Pavilion must mobilize a large number of people in the city and draw a lot of energy from various forces. This is obviously the best time to make a move.
"So what do we do now?"
Ye Fan said calmly as always.
This inconspicuous carriage has left Yinhuang City and is not heading towards the chaotic mining area. If the prediction is good, it should be heading towards the Ancient Shrine.
However, he had some doubts.
Going to the Ancient Temple, is it just this carriage, him and the pavilion master? There are too few people. Even if the main force of the Red Gang is transferred to the Chaotic Mining Area, the Ancient God Temple will definitely leave its masters behind.
"Other people's tasks have been arranged, so there is no need to worry. Elder Ye, the task you want to complete is the most special, so for the sake of caution, the master of this pavilion will personally accompany you there! You are the high priest of the Holy Spirit and the person we are fighting for for the Taikoo this time. The temple is the most important part of launching sacrifices. It can be said that without you, the Beast Emperor Pavilion would not have this operation, and it would not make much sense to seize the ancient temple. Your importance can be imagined , even among the elders, no one can match it."
Gu Xinyue looked at Ye Fan with a pair of clear beautiful eyes, and she did not hesitate to praise him.
Next, she has to complete an important task with Ye Fan, which is related to her own personal interests. For this reason, she must ensure that Mark can truly be used by her.
Ye Fan listened silently without saying a word.
He did not say a word or two humbly, saying that he was honored to receive the approval of the cabinet master. He didn't show the natural pride of a genius Holy God high priest who took everything for granted, proving that he was fully worthy of such praise.
Ye Fan's expression at this time was more like a silent rock on a mountain peak, ignoring the praise from the master of her majestic Beast King Pavilion.
There was no way she could penetrate this thick rock shell and see into his heart.
This made Gu Xinyue feel very frustrated.
She was sure that the person in front of her had never been under her control.
Even if she is the master of the Beast Emperor Pavilion and the lord of Yinhuang City, and even if Ye Fan has "served" in the Beast Emperor Pavilion for five years, there is no way she can really use the man in front of her.
The sacrifices in ancient temples were performed independently by the priests.
Others can't get involved at all.
If she gave him an order directly, no one knew whether he would follow her orders during the sacrifice.
It is more likely that he just completed what he wanted to accomplish and used the altar of the ancient temple to fulfill his own prayers.
The Beast King Pavilion is just a tool he can use.
But even so, he is blameless, and no one is qualified to say a word about him. Because the benefits he has brought to the Beast Emperor Pavilion over the years far exceed the compensation given to him by the Beast Emperor Pavilion.
"What does the Pavilion Master want to say?!"
Ye Fan looked at Gu Xinyue quietly.
This calm expression made Gu Xinyue even more frustrated.
She was almost sure that even if she gave Ye Fan a task as the master of the Beast Emperor Pavilion, Ye Fan would definitely complete the prayer at the Ancient Temple according to his own wishes.
"That's all, I'm not sure I can make you obey my orders. In that case, let's make a deal that's beneficial to both you and me!"
Gu Xinyue was stunned for a while and sighed softly.
She took off the mysterious purple jade phoenix mask, revealing an exquisite face.
Her face is clean and pure, like a lotus flower emerging from the clear ripples.
If she were walking in Yinhuang City, everyone would think that she was the daughter of a noble and noble family. I'm afraid no one thinks at all that she is the master of Yinhuang City who commands the tens of thousands of members of the huge Beast Emperor Pavilion and has a city in mind.
Ye Fan looked shocked.
Gu Xinyue's appearance was not the reason for his shock.
What shocked him was that after taking off the mask used to cut off the breath, Gu Xinyue's cultivation breath was immediately exposed, and she turned out to be just... a Wuhou.
Yes, he is just a peak Wuhou realm.
Her cultivation at the peak of Wuhou Realm is obviously not higher than that of Ye Fan, the peak of the third series of Wuhou.
Ye Fan's spiritual thoughts were unable to penetrate the mask and discovered her true cultivation. Subconsciously, he always thought that the master of the Beast King Pavilion was a very powerful Martial King, so he could give orders to the elders.
"Elder Ye, now you know why I rarely show up in the Beast Emperor Pavilion and Yin Emperor City. You have joined the Beast Emperor Pavilion for five years, but you have only seen me a few times. I almost never take off this mask in public. Alright?"
Gu Xinyue showed a sad look and sighed softly.
The purple jade phoenix mask she wore was of extremely high grade and had the effect of isolating the breath. Even King Wu could not detect her true cultivation level.
"Of course I understand!"
Ye Fan nodded and finally showed some sympathy for this mysterious pavilion master.
Sympathy indeed.
Just like himself, he has a series of honorable positions such as the three-line Wuhou, the Beastmaster King, the Holy God High Priest, etc., but he is still just a Wuhou.
As the master of the Beast Emperor Pavilion, the largest force in the ancient land of the Ancestral God, and the lord of Yinhuang City, Gu Xinyue has countless wealth and a large number of subordinates. But she is only a Wuhou, which is also a very sad thing.
From any aspect, the strength and prestige of Wuhou are not enough to command Wuwang, let alone a group of Wuwang.
As a Marquis of Wu, Gu Xinyue could only hide behind this mask, which was not necessarily happy.
"Only the elders Hua Yuan and Jian Hongyu know this secret in the entire Ancestral God Ancient Land. I only trust these two seniors. Plus you are the third person who knows this. Elder Ye, I trust you enough. It's sincere enough!"
Gu Xinyue said quietly.
If it were anyone else, she would never dare to do this, lest someone take advantage of her weakness and use it as a threat. But Ye Fan, the legendary Holy God High Priest from Canglan Country, is obviously an exception. She is not worried about what he will do to her. From Ye Fan's perspective, I'm afraid he can't even look down on the Beast King Pavilion.
Because of this, she instinctively felt that Mark could not really be used by her.
"I would rather not know. Why does the Pavilion Master need to take off the mask?!"
Ye Fan couldn't help but smiled bitterly and shook his head.
He doesn't have that much curiosity. He doesn't want to know about private matters such as the cultivation level of the master of the Beast King Pavilion, and he doesn't want to cause trouble for himself.
However, Gu Xinyue let him know, obviously trying to cause trouble for him.
