Chapter 260: Old Friend

On the day when Fang Zhixing killed Gong Xixiong, Zhuang Dao'e and others.

Fan Zhenglun returned to Liuxu Sect and continued to help Fang Zhixing collect resources.

The next day, a distinguished guest suddenly came to visit.

This distinguished guest came from the Luo family, one of the four great clans, and was the current deputy commander of the navy, Luo Keji! Fan Zhenglun was naturally very surprised by this person's visit.

The Liuxu Sect has always lived in peace in a remote corner, not competing with the world.

Although his beautiful disciple was coveted by the Crown Prince, it caused a lot of trouble.

But among the four major families, only the Lu family paid more attention to this matter.

The Luo family, the Rong family, and the Fei family did not show much enthusiasm.

The Liuxu Sect did not encounter any difficulties with these three families.

It was really unexpected that Luo Keji came to visit today.

Fan Zhenglun had to cheer up and respond carefully.

He looked at Luo Keji carefully and found that he was a rising star.

Ten years ago, he was the commander-in-chief of the Qinghe County Navy and was not very famous.

But in the following years, Luo Keji's career was rapidly promoted.

Not only did his cultivation level continue to improve, but in the process of suppressing the rebel army, he also displayed amazing strategies, achieved many outstanding feats, and became famous.

As a result, Luo Keji soon gained the favor of the clan, received key training, and was promoted.

There are rumors that the commander-in-chief of the navy is old and will abdicate soon. If nothing unexpected happens, Luo Keji will definitely take over.

In other words, Luo Keji is about to take charge of Danzhou's hundreds of thousands of naval forces.

How many people have such an honor? Luo Keji is undoubtedly a rising star! Fan Zhenglun's expression was gentle, and he smiled and said, "Deputy General Luo, your name is well-known. I am lucky to meet you today."

Luo Keji calmly sat down to drink tea, and said with a polite smile: "Master Fan, you are too polite. You are well-known in the martial arts world. I have admired you for a long time. I should have come to meet you a long time ago."

Fan Zhenglun asked, "Lieutenant General Luo is a very busy man, with many things to do every day. I wonder why you are visiting today?"

Luo Keji was silent for a moment, then asked with a serious expression, "I heard that some people from Fenghaimen came to cause trouble not long ago, but they were wiped out by you guys?"

Fan Zhenglun's heart tightened and his mind started to race.

Fenghaimen is also one of the ten major sects, and is extremely active, with intricate ties between it and the four major clans and even King Chi'an.

However, Fan Zhenglun was not sure whether there was any close relationship between Fenghaimen and the Luo family.

What if Feng Haimen has already sworn allegiance to the Luo family?

Then, Luo Keji came here probably just to ask for an explanation.

Fan Zhenglun's expression froze slightly, and he nodded, "It is true. That day, Lord Lu Xuanxi, the commander-in-chief of the Giant Army, was also present."

"Yeah, I heard that."

Luo Keji nodded and said meaningfully: "After Lu Xuanxi left you, he quickly sent people to Fenghaimen and directly occupied Fenghaimen, making a fortune."

Fan Zhenglun had also heard about this matter.

After Fenghaimen's leader You Buchou was killed by Fang Zhixing, Fan Zhenglun also considered sending people to completely destroy Fenghaimen.

But this goes against the purpose of Liuxu Sect and will only drag Liuxu Sect into the vortex of greater interest struggles.

So, after weighing the pros and cons, Fan Zhenglun decisively gave up.

After swallowing Fenghaimen, Lu Xuanxi gained great benefits and stopped harassing Liuxu Sect.

The evil wolf was finally fed.

The Liuxu Sect will gain a lot of precious time before its next hunger.

Fan Zhenglun took a deep breath and said, "May I ask Deputy General Luo, has the Fenghai Gate incident harmed the interests of the Luo family?"

"No."

Luo Keji smiled and waved his hand, put down the teacup and said: "Fenghaimen is indeed a piece of fat meat, but my Luo family is not going to compete with the Lu family for food."

Fan Zhenglun secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but he was even more suspicious and asked, "Then why did you come here?"

Luo Keji smiled and said, "I heard that the man who killed You Buchou was called Fang Zhixing, is that right? Tell me about him."

Fan Zhenglun blinked. He didn't expect that Luo Keji was actually very interested in Fang Zhixing.

He described it as briefly as possible: "Fang Keqing was originally a casual cultivator in the Jianghu, and sincerely joined our Liuxu Sect..."

Before he finished speaking, Luo Keji interrupted and asked, "Where is he from?"

Fan Zhenglun replied: "I wander around the world, with no fixed place to live."

Luo Keji asked again: "His demon form is a tentacle that can suck blood, right?"

Fan Zhenglun frowned slightly and nodded slightly.

Luo Keji's mouth curled up slightly, and he sighed: "Well, it really is the Tianluo Blood Transformation Technique."

Upon hearing this, Fan Zhenglun immediately had an idea in his mind that Luo Keji was most likely an old acquaintance of Fang Zhixing.

But I don't know whether the two are friends or enemies.

The next second, Luo Keji asked directly: "Where is Fang Zhixing?"

Fan Zhenglun continued, "Fang Keqing has gone out to play. I don't know where he is now."

Luo Keji snorted, stood up slowly and said, "I have nothing else to do. When Fang Zhixing comes back, tell him that I have been here and ask him to come see me as soon as possible."

Fan Zhenglun hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said, "Don't worry, Vice General Luo, I will definitely convey your words."

Luo Keji stopped talking nonsense and turned to leave.

Fan Zhenglun watched them leave, his face full of confusion.

Several days passed in a flash.

The Liuxu Sect had just been peaceful for a few days when suddenly another heavyweight figure came to visit.

Even though Fan Zhenglun was the leader of a sect, he had to bow his head when he saw this person, and said respectfully: "I am honored to meet you, Sir. I am sorry for not welcoming you in person. Please forgive me."

The prince lives in the palace.

Every royal palace has a guard command office called the "Ceremony Guard Office".

Naturally, there is also a ceremonial guard department in Prince Chi'an's palace.

The head of the Ceremonial Guard Department, namely the Chief Officer, was a captain in full charge and was fully responsible for the protection of Prince Chi'an.

This important position is often held by members of the royal family.

Fan Zhenglun could never have imagined that Ji Xiangjun, the head of the Yiwei Department and a collateral relative of Prince Chi'an, would actually visit the Liuxu Sect in person.

Ji Xiangjun is a woman, her age is unknown, but she looks quite young.

She was wearing a majestic and domineering fish-dragon costume, with her long hair tied around her waist, looking heroic.

Her face is like a blooming peach blossom, and her hands are like fine porcelain, smooth and textured.

"Master Fan, please stand up."

Ji Xiangjun walked over with light steps and raised his hand.

Her movements exude an elegant and calm temperament, as if everything is under her control, which makes people fall in love with her.

Fan Zhenglun stood up, tremblingly welcomed Ji Xiangjun into the hall, and asked her to take a seat.

Ji Xiangjun sat down calmly and said straight to the point: "Sect Master Fan, I heard that you went to Jiyin Sect a few days ago?"

Fan Zhenglun was moved, and said: "To answer the chief, he did go there once, and came back after staying for three or four days."

Ji Xiangjun nodded and said bluntly: "Well, I won't beat around the bush. Are the people of the Gongxi clan still alive?"

Fan Zhenglun's breathing stagnated. He didn't know how the news leaked. He wanted to alert anyone else but the Ceremonial Guard Department.

This is a big trouble.

Seeing this, Ji Xiangjun smiled and said, "My Yiwei Division not only protects the prince's safety, but is also responsible for collecting intelligence. All the major forces in Danzhou have spies from my Yiwei Division, including the Jiyin Sect, and naturally your Liuxu Sect."

Fan Zhenglun took a deep breath and said, "Since Sir Chief already knows the truth, why bother asking me?"

Ji Xiangjun smiled and said, "I only know that Gong Xixiong and others sneaked into the extremely dark restricted area and never came out again. I don't know what happened in the meantime."

Fan Zhenglun understood. He thought about it and finally did not dare to lie to the Yiwei Division. He said carefully: "Gong Xixiong colluded with Zhuang Dao'e and tried to murder Ning Yuesu, but they were killed in return. All of them died."

Ji Xiangjun raised his eyebrows and said in a slightly surprised tone: "I know Gong Xixiong, and his strength is obvious to all. Who in the Jiyin Sect can kill him?"

Fan Zhenglun paused and replied, "I didn't witness what happened with my own eyes, but as far as I know, Gong Xixiong and others were killed by Ning Yuesu and Fang Zhixing, who took advantage of the special environment of the Extreme Yin Forbidden Zone."

Ji Xiangjun's eyes lit up, and he smacked his lips and said, "Oh, it seems that the information is correct, Fang Zhixing is also involved."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Fan Zhenglun said: "He was just accidentally involved."

Ji Xiangjun laughed and said, "How could there be so many surprises? Fang Zhixing first killed You Buchou and then killed Gong Xixiong. This is not something that ordinary people can do."

She stared at Fan Zhenglun deeply and said seriously, "Master Fan, if a person's brilliance is too great, it is impossible to conceal it!"

Fan Zhenglun took a deep breath and remained silent.

Yes, Fang Zhixing is indeed too aggressive and ostentatious.

Those big shots are not blind, it is impossible that they did not notice Fang Zhixing's existence.

Ji Xiangjun smiled and said, "Master Fan, please tell me everything about Fang Zhixing."

Fan Zhenglun's mouth twitched, and he said solemnly, "To be honest, I don't know him very well."

Then, he described in detail the relationship between the founder, that strange man, and Fang Zhixing.

Finally, he concluded: "In short, he is the descendant of that strange man, and he is full of mystery. I didn't ask too many questions about his origins."

After hearing this, Ji Xiangjun couldn't help but tilt his head and fell into deep thought.

After a while, she spoke again: "The Gongxi clan is the most powerful clan among the four major clans. The sudden accident of the clan's elite members was beyond everyone's expectations. Once the news spreads, it will definitely cause a lot of turmoil.

Logically speaking, strength is respected, and whoever destroys the Gongxi clan will be qualified to take its place.

However, the prince will definitely not support someone who no one knows to replace the Gongxi clan."

Fan Zhenglun said decisively: "Fang Zhixing has no intention of replacing the Gongxi clan, he just wants to seek stability."

Ji Xiangjun snorted and said in a deep voice: "That being said, Fang Zhixing is so powerful that he can wipe out a clan with a wave of his hand. How can a master like him be willing to be inferior to others all his life?"

Fan Zhenglun was shocked and asked, "What does Si Shou mean?"

Ji Xiangjun said: "Your Highness will never allow Fang Zhixing to do whatever he wants. He destroyed a sect today and slaughtered a clan tomorrow. How can this be tolerated? He must be controlled."

Fan Zhenglun couldn't help but ask: "How do you want to control him?"

Ji Xiangjun was well prepared and replied directly: "I haven't met Fang Zhixing yet, so I don't know much about him.

How about you invite people from the ten major sects to come to your Liuxu Sect as guests and let Fang Zhixing fight with the masters from the major sects? "

"……good!"

Fan Zhenglun did not dare to disobey, so he nodded and asked, "When?"

Ji Xiangjun said: "I'll give you three days to prepare, is that enough?"

Fan Zhenglun sighed deeply.

The Liuxu Sect wanted to live in seclusion and avoid the world, but the tree wanted to be still but the wind did not stop. It was so bad! Fan Zhenglun sent Ji Xiangjun away and immediately called the elders to discuss the matter.

Then, everyone dispersed and went to various major sects to send out invitations.

Fan Zhenglun did not rest for a moment and went to Jiyin Sect in person.

Soon, he met Fang Zhixing.

"Oh, Luo Keji came to see me..."

After listening to Fan Zhenglun's story, Fang Zhixing laughed and a playful expression appeared on his face.

Luo Keji once regarded him as a running dog, driving him around at will and exploiting him to his heart's content.

However, after Fang Zhixing became a trouble, Luo Keji abandoned him without hesitation.

"After ten years, Luo Keji has become a big shot."

Fang Zhixing's face was filled with endless anticipation.

At this moment, he was very much looking forward to meeting Luo Keji again and seeing what expression would appear on Luo Keji's face.

Fan Zhenglun said carefully: "This is an order directly issued by the Yiwei Division. No one can resist it. You must accept the challenge of the masters of the ten major sects, and it must be a round-robin battle. Is that okay?"

Fang Zhixing did not hesitate at all and said with a smile: "You can't avoid this kind of thing. What is coming will come, so let the storm come even harder."

The two then returned to Liuxu Sect.

Three days passed before I knew it.

That morning, the road leading to Liuxu Sect was crowded with people.

For the first time, Liuxu Palace invited nine other major sects to visit.

No, it should be the eight major sects. Fenghai Sect is already in name only.

Behind the scenes, the Ceremonial Guard Department fanned the flames.

As a result, the news spread like wildfire, attracting many people from all walks of life to join in the fun.

In addition to many people from some small sects and families, even the four major families sent people to watch the battle.

For a time, Liuxu Palace was filled with guests and was more lively than ever before.

In fact, such a grand occasion is rare in hundreds of years.

To this end, everyone in the Liuxu Sect was busy.

They built a huge viewing platform that could accommodate thousands of people.

There was a loud bang of gongs and drums outside, but the room was quiet.

Fan Zhenglun is introducing carefully:

"Fenghai Sect is finished, Jiyin Sect is on our side, and your pressure mainly comes from the other eight sects, namely Feihuang Sect, Yunshui Sect, Miaoyin Pavilion, Mojian Sect, Qingliang Temple..."

The old man counted the masters of each major sect and made an inventory.

Fang Zhixing listened quietly, his expression calm.

Soon, someone came to report: "The chief is here."

Fan Zhenglun and Fang Zhixing immediately stood up to greet them.

Ji Xiangjun walked over, his eyes fell directly on Fang Zhixing, sizing him up and down, and said with a smile: "You are indeed a handsome man, I believe your strength is unfathomable."

Fang Zhixing bowed and said, "Master Si Shou, you are too kind. I was able to kill You Bu Chou because Sect Master Fan had held him back. As for Gong Xixiong, it was sheer luck that I was able to kill him."

Ji Xiangjun disagreed and said with a smile: "Luck is also a part of strength."
