"If I remember correctly, you guys just conquered the Southern Empire and killed several ancestors of the Northern Jin Sword Alliance. You suddenly came to me this time, so you should be considered an enemy rather than a friend."

Murong Jian did not show any sign of panic and remained calm and composed.

With Xu Yang's observation skills, it is not difficult to see that this guy is only at the initial stage of tribulation, but his state of mind is far higher than Ji Wufeng and the others. Even the partners in his team, except for the strongest ones like the Empress and Wushuang, no one can compare with this guy.

“I don’t think so.

Because in my eyes, General Murong is incomparable to others."

With Xu Yang's strength and status, there is no one in the entire continent who is worthy of his flattery. Whoever he praises, it is his heartfelt admiration for that person.

"oh?

Sir, please tell me, in your eyes, what kind of person am I, Murong Jian?"

"An unyielding and proud character, a great talent of his generation."

With just eight short words, Xu Yang described Murong Jian's character with incredible accuracy.

“Although you were born in the Northern Jin Sword Alliance, as far as I know, you don’t have close ties with the Sword Alliance or the entire family. You have your own beliefs and ambitions, and more importantly, you have a belief that you persist in. This is the most important quality that I, Xu Yang, have identified.

So, I came here to work with you.”

Murong Jian and Xu Yang suddenly developed a feeling of mutual appreciation. It was not because they had any use for each other. Rather, it was the beginning of a friendship between gentlemen that could only be fostered when they could truly put aside everything and appreciate each other.

There is no doubt that Murong Jian is using his actions to tell Xu Yang that his choice to come here was extremely correct.

"How do you cooperate?"

Xu Yang made a gesture behind him, and Long Kun handed an exquisite brocade box to Murong Jian.

A breath rushed out silently and instantly hit the surface of the brocade box. The next moment, a strong smell of blood quickly hit the face, and a human head was clearly placed in the middle.

“The general should be very familiar with this man. He was killed by Aguzhan, the most famous bloodthirsty demon in Xinjiang. It is said that more than 300 passionate warriors captured at the border a week ago were all eaten alive by this man.

I wonder if the general is satisfied with this gift."

Murong Jian took a deep breath and closed the box again, with a hint of ripples in his eyes.

He originally planned to avenge his brothers personally, but Aguzhan was also the most powerful man. Murong Jian had to protect the people in the city on the one hand, and avenge his brothers on the other hand. It was difficult to be loyal and righteous at the same time.

Now, Xu Yang's arrival finally put his mind at ease.

"I, Murong Jian, will remember this favor from you, Excellency.

But I am only a general of the Northern Dynasty. Your Excellency is of such a high status that you are looking for cooperation with me. You are overestimating me, Murong Jian."

This time, before Xu Yang could speak, Ling Yao behind him spoke first: "Our boss means that the two sides will join forces to completely eliminate the troubles in the northern border and support you to return to the capital to take over the throne, become the Grand Marshal of the Northern Territory, and command a million troops."

Murong Jian was not a person who coveted official power, but what really attracted him were the words "completely eliminate the border troubles".

"Can we really completely wipe out those barbarians in the northern border?

They are a group of beasts that eat people without leaving any bones. How can I kill them all with my own ability alone?"

Long Kun laughed and said, "My boss has wisdom and courage that ordinary people cannot have. General Murong, please believe us. We are just waiting for your words.

If you lose this opportunity, when will the threat to the northern border be eliminated?

This is not only helping us, but also helping yourself and the billions of sentient beings in the entire Northern Territory of the Three Thousand Dao States!"

Murong Jian looked at Xu Yang deeply. His eyes were so clear and deep that it seemed that no one could see the true emotions behind this man's gaze.

"Okay, I promise to cooperate with you!

I don't care about anything else, as long as I can wipe out the Ghost Wolf Clan, Murong Jian will not regret dying!"

Xu Yang's mouth finally raised a satisfied arc: "Who said you should die?

If you agree to cooperate, you and I will be comrades-in-arms and as close as brothers!

No one can harm my partner Xu Yang!"

The voice was intimidating without being angry, and filled with the arrogance of a ruler dominating the world.

It seems that Xu Yang today has changed a lot from when he just left Tianlan Sect. It is the rich experiences along the way and the deep bonds with his companions that have made him become more emotional little by little, and he has gradually transformed from that unattainable person like a banished immortal who is not tainted by the worldly affairs to a philanthropist with benevolence and the desire to help the common people.

It was this transformation in his mind that brought about an improvement in his realm. If he had been the same person back then, he would probably never have been able to comprehend such a vast state of mind as the Heavenly Eye in his entire life.

There is no doubt that this time, Xu Yang once again relied on his personal charm and sincere attitude to impress Murong Jian, the guy who was supposed to be against him.

That night, Murong Jian personally hosted a banquet in his tent which looked a bit shabby. In such a bitterly cold place in the frontier, there was not even any heating equipment.

It can be seen that this person is very pragmatic and never pursues those superficial and frivolous settings. For him, as long as there is a place to shelter from the wind and rain, it is enough.

"It's bitterly cold at the border, and it's a challenge for the soldiers to get enough food. Please don't despise me."

Looking at the side dishes that Murong Jian brought out, they were not as good as the pets around Xu Yang. However, what surprised him was that Xu Yang and the other two ate them with gusto.

"You guys..." Xu Yang chuckled: "General, your heart is with the people. Why can't the three of us enjoy eating and drinking with you?"

"Hahaha!

Brother Xu Yang, do you know that in the Northern Jin Sword Alliance, the cultivators all regard you as a demon god and no one wants to face you!

But now, I never expected that you would be so charming. "

Murong Jian raised his head and took a big gulp of wine.

In fact, it was really boring for him to lead the soldiers to guard the border alone over the years. Foreign enemies were afraid of his strength and strategy, and the soldiers pitied his talent and pride, but it was a pity that they were not reused after all. He also often felt lonely because of all the troubles.

Now, Xu Yang's appearance was like a star, lighting up the dark night ahead of him.

People walking in the dark night never long for dawn, but the stars will become their irreplaceable faith.

"Well, after this drink, the three of us will follow the general and march into the northern border alone. We will fight with you to your heart's content and vent the pain you've been feeling for these years!"

"good!

!”

With a pot of muddy wine, guns in hand and horses mounted, Xu Yang and the other two accompanied Murong Jian as they galloped out of the city and headed straight for the end of the endless dark night in the northern border...

Little did they know that a killing spree that would shock the entire northern border was about to take place.
