In the pavilion, Jiang Yi and the Peacock King sat opposite Li Yun, holding teacups in their right hands. They seemed silent, but in fact their spiritual consciousness was extremely active.
"Jiang Yi, are you really going to take him to the Green Dragon King's cave?"
"What else?"
"Don't forget our plan. Saint Master Yaoguang and Saint Master Ji are now on the same side, and he has accepted the little princess of the Ji family as his apprentice. It is reasonable that he should be on the side of the Ji family. If you bring him to the cave of King Qing Jiao, aren't you afraid that our plan will be exposed?"
The Peacock King transmitted the message in a deep voice.
There must be a reason why he got involved with Jiang Yi this time.
Some time ago, Jiang Yi attacked the mining area of Yaoguang Holy Land and robbed all the source ore they had dug out over the years. The Yaoguang Holy Land was furious, so it agreed to join forces with the Holy Lord of the Ji family to deal with the Peacock King.
In exchange, the Ji family's Saint Lord must also work with the Yaoguang Saint Lord to deal with the thirteen major bandits.
Jiang Yi knew that Saint Lord Yaoguang would not let him go, so he discussed with the fourth largest bandit Qingjiao Wang and the seventh largest bandit Tutian, and decided to find an opportunity to lure out Saint Lord Yaoguang and ambush and kill him.
It just so happened that the Peacock King also came to the Northern Territory. He had been besieged and killed by the Saint Lord Yaoguang and the Saint Lord of the Ji Family in the Eastern Wilderness. He had a grudge against the Saint Lord Yaoguang, so the Green Dragon King pulled him in to participate in the siege plan.
Hearing what the Peacock King said, Jiang Yi said indifferently: "I think it's okay. This person has a very domineering personality. Even if he accepts the little princess of the Ji family as his apprentice, he will not give the Ji family any good face."
“The main purpose of Ji Jiasheng is to force him to be tied to his own chariot, which will be counterproductive.”
The Peacock King frowned: "Do you really think so?"
Jiang Yi transmitted his voice: "Seventy percent sure, I know this kind of person best, if you stroke his hair in a favorable way, he will explode if you do the opposite. If you give him face, he will definitely give you face..."
The Peacock King said calmly: "You are talking about yourself, right?"
Jiang Yi said angrily: "Don't worry about it, just tell me whether my analysis is correct or not!"
The two of them remained silent on the surface, but in fact they were communicating intensely with their spiritual consciousness.
They thought they had hidden themselves well, but unfortunately, that extremely active fluctuation of their spiritual consciousness was too obvious in Li Yun's eyes.
He glanced at the silent Peacock King and calmly took a sip of tea without exposing their secret communication.
Soon, bursts of light appeared in the sky, and a stream of light fell from the sky and landed next to the pavilion, transforming into an old man with a dignified temperament. He was Tu Tian, the seventh most powerful bandit in the Northern Territory.
After landing, Tu Tian looked at the girl pouring tea and the three people drinking tea in the pavilion, and couldn't help but look surprised.
"Lao Jiang, what's going on? Who is he?"
"...Seventh Brother, you are finally back!"
Jiang Yi stood up with a smile and strode over.
At this time, Tu Tian was looking at Li Yun's face, and the more he looked, the more familiar he seemed.
Suddenly, his pupils shrank, and without hesitation he took out a seemingly simple and ordinary jar and held it on his head, looking at Li Yun who was drinking tea in the pavilion with a vigilant look on his face.
"I remember now, you are the strong man from the East Desert?"
Seeing Tu Tian's reaction, Jiang Yi was slightly startled, then smiled and said, "Seventh Brother, have you heard about it too?"
"Nonsense!" Tu Tian glanced at Jiang Yi and said, "You may not know yet, but just a few days ago, people from the Ji family visited various holy places to announce the arrival of this person."
"Openly or covertly, he kept mentioning that he took the little princess of the Ji family as his apprentice. It was obvious that he wanted to use this person's name to intimidate the Northern Territory."
"I was originally planning to come back to warn you, but I didn't expect this guy to come straight to my door!"
Having said that, the expression on Tu Tian's face became more alert, and the jar on his head exuded a terrifying aura.
Jiang Yi was afraid that Li Yun would fight with Tu Tian if they disagreed, so he quickly stopped Tu Tian and told him everything that had just happened.
After listening, Tu Tian frowned and said suspiciously: "You want to make a deal with the Green Dragon King?"
Li Yun said calmly: "That's right."
Tu Tian looked at him deeply and said in a deep voice: "With your strength and status, I don't think you will lie, but I still want to know, if the Green Dragon King does not agree to trade with you, what will you do?"
Li Yun smiled faintly: "I will give him a reason that he can't refuse."
Tu Tian and Jiang Yi's hearts sank, and they asked nervously, "What's the reason?"
Li Yun didn't say anything. He waved his sleeves and a ruby-like heart suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
The surging blood energy spread out, shining with blood-red light like the scorching sun, attracting everyone's attention.
"…Is it the Demon Emperor's Heart?!"
The Peacock King couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise, and then he stared at Li Yun and said, "It's in your hand?!"
"Yes, that young Saint Body said that the Demon Emperor's Heart was lost in an underground river, and you were able to use that young man's body to attack, which means that you two must have a very deep relationship."
Regardless of whether Ye Fan was lying or not, Li Yun had sufficient reasons to obtain the Heart of the Demon Emperor.
Thinking of this, the Peacock King couldn't help but feel a little angry.
"You want to use the sacred object that originally belonged to my demon clan to make a deal with the powerful ones of my demon clan?"
"...Originally belonged to your demon race?"
Li Yun raised his eyebrows, glanced at the Peacock King and said calmly: "Little bird, when did this world have such rules?"
"How come I have never heard of it?"
"If you really think so, well, the Demon Emperor's Heart is right here, come and get it!"
Before he finished speaking, Li Yun stood up, and his originally peaceful and calm demeanor suddenly changed as he stood up.
In an instant, an incomparably fierce aura spread out, and rolling heat waves swept in all directions. The temperature within a radius of hundreds of miles suddenly rose, and the entire pavilion was vaporized and sublimated by the heat wave.
In a trance, Tu Tian and the other two seemed to see a big sun rising slowly in front of them.
At the same time, the extremely high temperature also attracted the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.
If it weren't for the lack of spiritual energy in the Northern Territory, the area within a hundred miles would probably be filled with flames at this moment.
The jar above Tu Tian's head emitted a faint light, easily blocking the fierce momentum for the three people.
But even so, Tu Tian still felt extremely frightened.
Because he discovered that Li Yun's earth-shattering might seemed to be just momentum...
“…Invincible!”
Tu Tian made a decisive judgment in his heart.
The Peacock King transmitted the message: "If the three of us work together to activate the Heaven Devouring Demon Jar, there is still a chance of fighting back."
Tu Tian said unhappily, "Don't dream. It is possible to fight him, but if you can't kill him, what's the point of fighting him? Do you want to be hunted by such a powerful enemy for the rest of your life?"
Jiang Yi also sent a message: "I don't want to do it anyway. I have a family and I have to think about them."
At their level, the people they least want to provoke are the unrivaled strong men like Li Yun and the old madman who have no ties.
Jiang Yi dared to provoke the Yaoguang Holy Land unscrupulously because he knew that the Yaoguang Holy Land would not take action against his descendants. At most, they would join forces with the Holy Lord of the Ji Family to surround and kill him as they were doing now.
This is an unspoken rule among the major powers, to prevent the fighting from escalating and resulting in a lack of successors, leading to a weak blank period in the future.
But it's different for a casual cultivator like Li Yun. He came out of nowhere, has no followers, and has only two disciples around him, who follow him closely. If a situation of life and death ensues between you and him, your future end will be disastrous.
The Peacock King also understood this truth, but he had always been humiliated in front of Li Yun, feeling aggrieved, and wanted to find an opportunity to get back at him.
But unfortunately, it seems that this opportunity is unlikely to appear...
The Peacock King sighed, finally gave up the idea of fighting, and reached a consensus with the two.
Tu Tian held the Heaven Devouring Demon Jar on his head and said in a deep voice, "Lord Li, Lao Jiang and I can take you to see the Green Dragon King, but you have to promise me not to interfere in the feud between us and the other holy places!"
“…”
Li Yun raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise: "Why should I intervene?"
Tu Tian and Peacock King were slightly stunned.
Jiang Yi laughed: "I knew it!"
"Lord Li, please put away your magical powers. I will take you to see my fourth brother now!"
…
…
A day later, in Yunze Prefecture, one of the largest oases in the North.
Several streams of light were speeding across the sky, one of which was shining with golden light, taking the lead among the four streams of light, like a golden divine bridge extending from the horizon, dragging a dazzling golden light trail.
In the golden light, a girl in purple blinked her eyes and looked at the scene below curiously.
Unlike other barren areas in the Northern Territory, Yunze Prefecture is full of swamps and mist, as if you have arrived in a water town.
This place is lush and green, full of vitality. There is water and rivers everywhere. There is a spring every hundred steps and a river every ten miles. The mountains are towering, and various waterfalls cover them, dyeing the mountains a vast expanse of white.
The rivers are rushing, crisscrossing each other, like dragons dividing the earth.
At the confluence of various rivers, there are lakes reflecting the blue sky, which look like blue gems dotted on this lush green land.
There is nothing strange about this. The Green Flood King is a dragon, so it is natural that he likes this kind of water continent.
His place of retreat is in an ancient site somewhere in Yunzezhou, where there is a small world of caves opened up by ancient sages. It is naturally the most suitable place for retreat.
Soon, four streams of light fell beside a lake.
Tu Tian looked at Jiang Yi, and took out a jade pendant with the word "Tu" engraved on it, which was the symbol of his status as the seventh bandit.
Tu Tian sacrificed the jade, and with a flash of light, the world before his eyes suddenly changed drastically.
Finally entering the cave where the Green Dragon King lived in seclusion, Li Yun's eyes lit up and he observed the surroundings with great interest, discovering that this place really looked like a holy land of immortals founded by a famous sect in ancient times.
This place is a world of its own, with continuous and majestic mountains, abundant water, lush trees and air filled with mist.
There are eighty-one large rivers crisscrossing the earth, with dozens of blue lakes dotted in between.
“How beautiful!”
Ji Ziyue blinked her big eyes and looked at the new world in front of her with surprise.
"This is nothing..." Li Yun glanced at her and said calmly, "If I hadn't lost my body and magic weapon, I would definitely let you see what a true holy land of immortals is!"
"……Yeah?"
Ji Ziyue blinked her eyes and said with a grin, "Master is bragging!"
Li Yun twitched his lips and said unhappily, "What's there to brag about? If my storage magic weapon hadn't been lost, I could easily give you a hundred or eighty of these blessed caves, and each of them would be a portable cave that you can carry with you!"
