Half a month after Ye Fan's assassination, the Zixuan Dynasty still failed to calm down. Instead, undercurrents surged, one after another, and the overt and covert struggles became more intense.
Elder Zhou Mi, the special envoy of the Purple Phoenix Sect, negotiated with the Zixuan Dynasty in the court and requested Gu Xinyue's extradition according to the bilateral extradition provisions. This matter soon spread, causing concern among many forces in the dynasty.
As one of the seven major sects of Shenwu, the Purple Phoenix Sect is one of the backbones of the Shenwu Dongzhou human race. If the conflict between the Zixuan Dynasty and the Purple Phoenix Sect was caused by Gu Xinyue alone, the shock would probably spread to the entire human race, and even affect the Thousand Years War.
However, the huge growth potential of Ye Fan, the legendary Martial King, is also obvious to all the Zixuan Dynasty. Handing over Gu Xinyue means offending Ye Fan, not to mention immediately destroying the formation of the Mammoth Corps, it also means offending the fourth legendary Martial Emperor of the human race in the future.
Ji Xin, the Emperor of Zixuan, You Xingchen, the Pope of the Zixuan National Religion, and Jiang Yichen, the leader of the Wenxin Sect, any of these three legendary Martial Emperors is not a giant leader capable of leading the Shenwu Dongzhou Human Race against the Beast Alliance.
In order to please the Zihuang Sect, cutting off an important future arm of the Dongzhou Human Race is something that the Zixuan Dynasty cannot do.
This plunged the Zixuan Dynasty into intense controversy and a dilemma.
Will the dynasty choose the current Purple Phoenix Sect or the legendary Martial Emperor a hundred years from now? No matter which choice you make, it's extremely difficult.
After the discussion in the court was over, Emperor Zixuan Ji Xin summoned Kong Jianqing and gave him face-to-face instructions, asking him to go to the Beast Emperor Pavilion Villa immediately.
…
Beast Emperor Pavilion Villa.
There is a huge martial arts arena that is over a thousand feet tall, with dozens of hundreds of feet-high fourth-order black iron practice stakes.
"My basic sword skills are probably close to the tenth level of 'turning decay into magic'!"
Ye Fan whispered to himself, standing in a huge martial arts training courtyard paved with bluestone slabs, holding a ten-foot-long golden fifth-order mammoth imperial sword in his right hand.
The blade is infused with vitality, and a powerful force of thunder energy condenses on the blade. Countless arcs of electricity flashed on the blade, even floating in the surrounding air.
"cut!"
The blade in his hand slashed forward quickly.
Countless thunder lights flashed, as fast as lightning and thunder, and instantly cut out a hundred-foot thunder light.
"boom!"
Opposite him, a hundred feet away, a fourth-order black iron training stake as thick as a human waist was cut into two pieces.
"Sweep!"
Infused with wind energy, the Mammoth Imperial Sword swept across all wastes in one move, with a majestic momentum. The sword light brought out a powerful wind blade within a range of hundreds of feet around the body, which was extremely sharp.
"twist!"
The blade was twisted wildly, and an ice dragon rushed out, biting angrily and with unpredictable agility.
cut! pick! cut!
Plunder! sudden!
Ye Fan's every move was like flowing clouds and flowing water.
At the beginning, the practice of moves was very slow, one breath at a time.
Gradually, his moves became faster and faster, and every move of the basic sword skills was coherent and integrated into a whole. In an instant, he performed eighteen basic sword skills.
The entire huge martial arts arena was almost filled with sword moves and was enveloped by countless sword auras.
After a moment, a storm of blades formed, mixed with ice, wind, and thunder energy, stirring crazily in it, and the momentum was terrifying.
Becoming stronger is never easy.
In the day after day of practice, I taste the boring, boring and lonely, and use a peaceful heart to understand the secret of martial arts, and slowly accumulate a little bit of strength over the years.
Ye Fan understood this truth as early as when he was more than ten years old. In the martial arts academy and in the Luyang Mountains, there are countless places where he left traces of his hard work.
Many martial arts cultivators, after breaking through to the realm of Martial Lord or above, are no longer willing to practice the lowest level and weakest basic martial arts, but choose to practice powerful vitality combat techniques.
But Ye Fan knows that all high-level vitality combat skills require the support of the most basic skills. The more solid the foundation, the more powerful the high-level combat skills will be.
Even if it is the most basic martial arts, if you practice it to the peak, or even reach the realm of perfection, once the power of vitality is injected into the Xuan Weapon, its power will become extremely terrifying.
In the distance, many martial arts cultivators from the Beast King Pavilion gathered around, and they were all shocked when they saw this scene.
"Deputy Pavilion Master Ye is too powerful in combat!"
"Just eighteen basic sword skills, when used with vitality, are no less than a fourth-level high-grade combat skill."
Many cabinet members stood at a distance and talked excitedly.
With this level of cultivation, other Martial Kings would probably not even be left with the dregs if they were involved.
Elder Huada passed by the martial arts arena and watched in silence for a while, showing emotion. In terms of basic combat skills, Ye Fan is close to the state of perfection.
He quickly said to all the cabinet members: "Just watch, don't make any noise and disturb the deputy cabinet master's practice!"
"yes!"
All the martial arts cultivators nodded and shut up, watching Ye Fan practice silently.
…
at dusk.
Ye Fan had been practicing combat skills for two hours, and his energy was so strong that it did not consume much, but was extremely abundant.
When you reach the realm of King Wu, you can already easily mobilize the energy of the surrounding world for your own use, which can save a lot of energy consumption in your own body.
Moreover, he is practicing basic combat skills, and the consumption of his own energy is almost negligible.
"Deputy Pavilion Master Ye, Master Kong is here. He is waiting in the main living room of the Beast Emperor Pavilion in the villa. He said he has something to discuss!"
Elder Huada suddenly received a message and flew to the martial arts field to report to Ye Fan.
"Oh, let's go!"
Ye Fan was surprised.
Kong Jianqing suddenly visited the Beast King Pavilion Villa again to visit Ye Fan and others. But unlike the last time when he was full of shame, he was more worried this time.
Ye Fan, Gu Xinyue, as well as the two great elders Hua Yuan and Jian Hongyu, and the top brass of the Beast Emperor Pavilion met with Kong Jianqing.
After the maids served the tea, they left.
"Master Kong, I have heard about what happened in the court this morning. Thank you Master Kong for speaking out in the court and rescuing the Beast King Pavilion!"
Ye Fan said very gratefully.
Kong Jianqing used the excuse that Beast Emperor Pavilion and Gu Xinyue were involved in many crimes such as "manipulating beasts to damage farms and destroy roads" and wanted to conduct verification in the dynasty, blocking the negotiations with the Purple Phoenix Sect's request for Gu Xinyue's extradition.
This is not only a matter of speaking out for justice, but also something that can only be done by someone who is extremely knowledgeable.
This made Ye Fan admire him quite a lot.
Kong Jianqing was worthy of being a bachelor of the cabinet. He was familiar with many laws of the Zixuan Dynasty. He even came up with such unfamiliar legal content as bilateral extradition provisions and stopped the Zihuang Sect's evil tricks on the spot.
"Alas, I am only helping Pavilion Master Gu and Brother Ye to delay for a while, and cannot solve the fundamental problem. The Purple Phoenix Sect has been attacking you one after another during this period. I am afraid that they are determined to bring Master Gu back to the sect. This plan cannot be repeated, and we will not stop until we achieve our goal. I blocked it this time, but I may not be able to stop them next time!"
Kong Jianqing shook his head.
"Master Kong, the previous assassin of Tianzhu Pavilion must have been committed by the Purple Phoenix Sect. Can't the imperial court dig out something useful from his mouth and ask the Purple Phoenix Sect for his guilt? Destroy their arrogance!"
Elder Jian Hongyu looked a little anxious.
If the Purple Phoenix Sect wanted to touch Gu Xinyue, it would mean destroying the Beast King Pavilion, which they could actually tolerate.
Kong Jianqing shook his head and sighed: "It's useless, the imperial guards even used the forbidden soul-searching magic hand to invade the assassin's consciousness, but still got nothing.
The assassins of Tianzhu Pavilion all take orders directly from the Beast Alliance and have no related transactions with the Purple Phoenix Sect. The Purple Phoenix Sect also insisted that the assassin had nothing to do with them.
From this assassin's mouth, the Imperial Guard could not find any evidence against the Purple Phoenix Sect.
Besides, if it is really found out, is it true that the Imperial Dynasty is going to fall out with the Purple Phoenix Sect? Once a large-scale internal strife breaks out in our human race, I am afraid that the alien races will take the opportunity to attack on a large scale, and countless human races will be in trouble. I also ask you to understand His Majesty's difficulties. "
Emperor Zixuan once gave him face-to-face instructions.
"Your Majesty is also in a dilemma now. I would like to ask what do you think?!"
Kong Jianqing dipped his finger in some tea and wrote sixteen words on the table with water: "Avoid its sharp edge and disappear." On the day of Emperor Wu, the prosperous age returns. '
After Ye Fan, Gu Xinyue and others looked at it, he wiped it away with one hand and looked at Ye Fan, waiting for a reply.
In the current situation, the Purple Phoenix Sect is aggressive and determined to win. Although he suffered repeated setbacks, he did not change his ambition.
The Zixuan Dynasty was caught in the middle and was in a dilemma, not wanting to offend either party.
So the best way is for Ye Fan and Gu Xinyue to temporarily disappear from the world's sight, so that the Purple Phoenix Sect loses the target of attack.
In this way, Zixuan Dynasty does not have to make a difficult choice between the two.
He came here specifically to give Ye Fan advice.
With Ye Fan's wisdom, he should be able to respond appropriately.
"Let me discuss it with everyone!"
Ye Fan couldn't help but stand up and pondered.
Kong Jianqing nodded lightly and sat in the living room drinking tea, waiting for the outcome of the discussion between the four senior officials of the Beast Emperor Pavilion.
…
A secret room in the villa.
Gu Xinyue and Ye Fan, the two chief and deputy pavilion masters, as well as the two elders Hua Yuan and Jian Hongyu, held an important small meeting together.
"Since we came to the Zixuan Dynasty, although we have encountered a lot of difficulties, Emperor Zixuan has been kind to us at the Beast King Pavilion. Now Emperor Zixuan is in a dilemma, and I don't want to cause him too much trouble! In this case, Xinyue and I will temporarily disappear from the dynasty for a while. Xinyue, what do you think?"
Ye Fan looked at Gu Xinyue and said.
For a behemoth like the Purple Phoenix Sect, it either doesn't move or becomes a tiger and a rabbit when it moves. There are absolutely endless methods that can be used.
Be it an assassin, or use extradition clauses to put pressure on the dynasty, these are just small means, and they are not the thundering power of the Purple Phoenix Sect.
If the Purple Phoenix Sect sends Emperor Wu to deal with Ye Fan and Gu Xinyue, it will be impossible to guard against them.
It is impossible for the Zixuan Dynasty to devote a large amount of manpower to protecting them at all times.
With his current strength, it would be extremely difficult to confront the Purple Phoenix Sect head-on.
Moreover, the Purple Phoenix Sect could harass him frequently and make him unable to have peace of mind and practice wholeheartedly, but there was nothing he could do about the Purple Phoenix Sect.
Emperor Zixuan's suggestion is also a countermeasure.
"Okay! I don't want to owe too many favors to the Zixuan Dynasty, so I might as well leave temporarily."
Gu Xinyue nodded gently.
Elder Jian Hongyu couldn't help but said anxiously, "But if the two pavilion masters leave, what will happen to the 30,000 people in the Beast King Pavilion? What will happen to the Mammoth Corps? Without the two pavilion masters who have the backbone of their hearts, I am afraid that the people in the pavilion will be unrest."
Ye Fan thought for a while and said: "It doesn't matter, the Purple Phoenix Sect's goal is not the Beast Emperor Pavilion, but Gu Xinyue. As long as Gu Xinyue disappears in the eyes of the world, they will have nothing to do, and they will naturally stop. The dynasty will continue to support the Beast Emperor. Imperial Pavilion, cultivate mammoths. It could be as short as a few years, or as long as ten or twenty years, and we will be back. During this period, we can only ask the two great elders to take care of the Beast Emperor Pavilion."
He and everyone left the secret room, returned to the living room to see Kong Jianqing, and expressed his concerns about the Beast King Pavilion.
Kong Jianqing immediately made a promise, "Brother Ye, just rest assured, your value is higher than that of the Beast Emperor Pavilion and the Mammoth Corps. The Dynasty will ensure the safety of the Beast Emperor Pavilion and wait for your return!"
