Rivers and lakes in another world

Chapter 371 Competition
People in the casual cultivator alliance know best who to make friends with and how to deal with them.

As an important figure in the Northern Yan royal family, Yan Xuelan's status can be imagined.

Although everyone's respect for her is often due to Bei Yan and Yan Chaohui behind her, this is enough.

Yan Xuelan doesn't need these people's sincere obedience, as long as they are wary and don't dare to treat her casually.

At this moment, the whole mountain suddenly became lively.The news of Yan Xuelan's arrival quickly spread throughout the entire mountain. Whether they were present or on their way, they all received such amazing news very quickly.

The Jianwu Mountain Villa, which was originally used as the venue for the competition, soon became crowded with people, and many people came out to watch the excitement.

Many young people have heard of Yan Xuelan's name, but they rarely see the real person.The people of the older generation came out to meet them out of the sake of saving face for the court.

Under Yan Chaohui's reforms in recent years, the imperial court has grown in strength and its national strength is not weak. The once stable three-party power, the court, the sect, and the aristocratic family, jointly maintain the rule of the land of Beiyan, which has begun to crumble.

Some sects, such as Baiyun Mountain, are already in the state of allies with the Beiyan court, and it can be said that it is always a honeymoon period.

And some aristocratic families, such as the Su family, Tie family and so on.Their ancestors may be just a founding hero, but relying on the background and the support of the court, after thousands of years, there are a lot of talents, and their strength has expanded rapidly. Some of them are not even weaker than some small old families.

The imperial court was exerting influence on the other two forces.

Although the Zongmen and the aristocratic family also tried to use their own people to try to infiltrate the court, but with little success, they were just some unimportant positions without much real power.

Sometimes what they do is not as good as what Tianqijiao and the prairie people do.

On the bright side, all three parties are exercising restraint, and try not to tear their faces as much as possible.Compared with the huge number of people in the imperial court, the number of the latter two is not large, and it is really unable to support the war of attrition.

So as long as the people in the court don't go too far and they don't mind selling face, they won't lose anything anyway, and they might even get a good reputation.

There was no problem for a team of 3000 people to enter the villa.After all, a lot of money was spent on the construction of Jianwu Villa many years ago in order to allow various Jianghu forces in Jianzhou to compete.

Even if tens of thousands of people come to fit it, it is more than enough.

People can go in, but there are not so many places in the stables.

If the three thousand war horses of Luanfengwei moved their positions, what about the mounts of other warriors?
Zhang Zhen came to discuss the matter with Yan Xuelan with a bit of a headache, Yan Xuelan waved his big hand, the horse card came out, and took all the horses away, and then 3000 Luanfeng Guards walked into Jianwu Villa.

Let Zhang Zhen on the side see it enviously.

Zhang Zhen has a vitality ring that is similar to storing things, but the space is not large, and it can only hold some dead things.But the horse card is different, the space inside is not only huge, but also can store living things.Horses can live freely in it, don't be too comfortable.

This is the difference in background.One is a martial artist in the late stage of Tongmai Realm and the other is a girl doll in Zhoutian Realm. The gap is so obvious.

In the huge Jianwu Villa, there are still a lot of male warriors, and only a small number of female warriors.

But Yan Xuelan came in with such a group of Luanfengwei, and three thousand women entered the villa, which immediately added a touch of color.

Walking all the way to the reception hall in the center of the villa, many people looked surprised or curious.

Of course, what was more surprising was the strong possessiveness in many people's eyes.

After all, the group of people headed by Yan Xuelan were very good-looking, and the aura around them was either light, cold, charming, or heroic.

Make these women even more attractive.

However, these people's cultivation bases and their backgrounds also make other male warriors very afraid.

If you look at it twice, you won't lose a piece of meat, but if you have some methods that you shouldn't have, your life will soon be lost.

Yan Xuelan and others came to the reception hall, and some people from the Jianghu forces in Jianzhou were also waiting inside.

Zhang Zhen invited Yan Xuelan to a seat, which happened to be one of the top seats in the living room.

Xie Nongqi and others also took their seats next to Yan Xuelan one by one.

After Yan Xuelan took her seat, she didn't care about the eyes of the people around her, and asked Zhang Zhen.

"Mr. Zhang, I don't know which family's seat I'm sitting in, but don't let other people see my joke." Yan Xuelan knocked on the table with a playful look on her face.Through Ziwei's mental technique, she knew that Zhang Zhen didn't have any malice towards her, but the ones in the reception hall were not necessarily, most of them were malicious. Obviously, these Jianghu sects still rejected people from the court.

But there was no killing intent, or this group of people didn't have the courage to muster up the killing intent.Killing Yan Xuelan in this place will implicate every faction that appeared in Jianwu Villa today. These Jianghu warriors are not stupid.

Zhang Zhen felt ashamed when he heard this, and said, "Princess misunderstood, our Loose Cultivation Alliance is in charge of this matter, and we have been preparing for it for many years, but it was only a mistake. Originally, the princess's position should be Liuyun Dao Palace, but Liuyun The princess should be aware of Yundao Palace's style, so she didn't send anyone here."

After hearing Zhang Zhen's explanation, Yan Xuelan changed into a more comfortable posture and nodded in satisfaction.

Liuyun Taoist Palace is one of several Taoist forces that exist in Beiyan.

The location is exactly Jianzhou.

It's just that the disciples of Liuyun Taoist Palace practiced completely according to the style of the ascetic monks in the Taoist school.They seldom go out, and most of the time, the disciples of Liuyun Dao Palace are in the sect, practicing in closed doors, so it can be said that they don't hear about world affairs.

However, because it is located in Jianzhou, the martial arts forces in Jianzhou often send invitations to Liuyun Taoist Palace.

It's just that for many years, I only heard that invitations were sent in, but I have never seen people from Liuyun Dao Palace come out to participate. They are not interested in these activities. Many people have already gone to the deep mountains and old forests to live in seclusion. It is very difficult to invite them out.

Therefore, many people in Jianzhou only know the existence of Liuyun Dao Palace and know that they are very powerful, but they don't have a specific understanding of the specifics.

But Yan Xuelan is very clear.

The ascetic monks in Liuyundao Palace spend most of their time stargazing, experiencing the changes in heaven and earth, and taking the pursuit of heaven as their foundation.

I don't have much interest in martial arts and the like, but it would be a big mistake to despise the people of Liuyun Dao Palace because of this.

The warriors of Liuyun Taoist Palace are good at nourishing qi, and they have many skills that can increase their lifespan, which can greatly increase the lifespan of warriors, and also allow them to better understand the way of heaven.

No one knows how many old monsters like this exist in Liuyun Dao Palace, maybe their energy and blood have decayed, and they can no longer continue to attack, or they may even just hit one blow, and then drive west.

But this blow must be earth-shattering and cannot be followed casually.

In the previous life, there was a group of rebels with feverish brains who went crazy to provoke the people of Liuyun Dao Palace. As a result, an old man at the gate of Liuyun Dao Palace stretched out his hand and slapped him a few times before they were wiped out.

Then the people from Liuyundao Palace went to the real master behind the rebels and gave him a good warning.

With such a transcendent force, it is normal to have some strange places.

Yan Xuelan and the others can sit here with peace of mind.

"Don't worry, everyone. I just passed by here and found out that a martial arts league was held here. I was a little interested, so I hurriedly brought people to watch it. By the way, Mr. Zhang, can you introduce me to the people present here? Senior Yingjie?" Yan Xuelan looked around, some people knew her, but most of them were very unfamiliar.

Hearing Zhang Zhen's words, the whole person was stunned, and then began to introduce. "Come, come, everyone sit down. Let me introduce you. This is the eldest princess of Beiyan, Her Highness Yan Xuelan. Your Highness, this is Elder Guan of the Cangshan Sect. This is the Lian Xuelan of the Changdao Gang." Helper..."

Zhang Zhen didn't know the names of the women behind Yan Xuelan, so he didn't introduce them. Instead, he directly introduced to Yan Xuelan the surrounding people from Jianghu forces in Jianzhou.

Yan Xuelan was acquainted with these people from the Jianghu forces one by one.

There are no fewer than a hundred sects that came, but there are only a few that Yan Xuelan pays attention to.

The first is Iron Lion Hall. Yan Xuelan didn't just refer to the strength of Iron Lion Hall, but regretted it.

In its previous life, Iron Lion Hall has been hosting various displaced refugees, and it can be said that it has established a paradise.It just didn't have the corresponding strength, and was eventually destroyed by the rebels.In order to cover the departure of the people, the people of Tieshitang fought a lot with the rebels, and even lost their arms.

In the end, the people of Iron Lion Hall died heroically, and a group of people successfully reached the Great Wall of Northern Xinjiang. By the time Yan Xuelan led people to rescue them, it was already too late.

Then there is the Cangshan School.This is the most famous sect in Jianzhou. It can be said that in addition to Taoism, there are also Buddhist sects. Among Jianzhou, the Cangshan sect is the strongest.

It can be said that he is the leader among the ordinary Jianghu forces in Jianzhou.

Cangshan sect is located on the Cangshan Mountain in Jianzhou, and it has been thousands of years. There are many disciples and masters in the sect.Moreover, the style of the people in the sect is very upright, helping the poor and helping the poor, respecting the old and loving the young. It can be said that the Cangshan School has truly achieved its goal.

There are Tiangang realm warriors in the Cangshan sect, and there are also many Earthly evil realms and Xiantian realms below. The Tongmai realm can serve as stewards within the sect. Even many disciples of the Cangshan sect are people from the Zhoutian realm. From now on, one person You can know the strength of Cangshan Sect in this place.

But Yan Xuelan knows that the seemingly powerful Cangshan faction is now having very intense internal conflicts. On the one hand, there are the old generation's head and others, and on the other hand, the younger generation's new leaders. There are serious conceptual differences. disagreement.

The contradictions are getting bigger and bigger on this basis, and will no longer be able to be suppressed. The Cangshan sect will soon have internal strife, and the entire powerful sect will be broken down into two parts.

And this change in Jianwu Villa is the fuse of this split.

According to the normal historical development, the Cangshan faction of Jianwu Villa was the focus of the Holy Spring Sect this time, and the older generation of warriors lost a lot.

Then the people from the Shengquan Sect went to bewitch the young ambitious sect of the Cangshan Sect, and they completely crushed the Cangshan Sect.

Then there is Wuxiangmen.This sect played a lot of roles in Jianwu Villa this time.It's the same routine as the Holy Spring School.

It pretends to be a neutral force, but in fact, like the Holy Spring Sect, it is disguised by the warriors of the Demon Sect, and it is originally the Evil Sect.

Good at using illusions, disguise, whether it is lurking or assassination, it is very difficult to deal with. Think about it, you are clearly facing the face of an acquaintance, but the murderer who wants to kill you below, no one can stand up to this ah.

The provocative work in Jianwu Villa is inseparable from Wuxiangmen's pretense and instigation, and the credit of framing.

Then there is Pudu Temple.He is the representative of the Buddhist sect in Jianzhou.

There are a lot of people, and the strength is quite strong, not weaker than Liuyun Dao Palace.

It's just that this time, no one from the older generation came to Pudu Temple. Instead, Siming, the elder brother of Pudu Temple's generation, led the crowd.

Don't look at Siming who is young but is already a martial artist at the peak of Tongmai Realm.

It is only one step away from the Xiantian Realm.It can be said that it is already extremely extraordinary among the younger generation.

What is even more commendable is that Siming himself is a body-refining martial artist, so his body is also at the peak of the Tongmai state. If he wants to break through to the Xiantian state, it is much more difficult than ordinary martial artists, so Siming's talent is extraordinary.

Moreover, Siming is also proficient in many martial arts of Pudu Temple, including the Pudu Arhat Style of Pudu Temple.This is the top body training method of Pudu Temple, and it is extremely difficult to practice.

It often takes multiple near-deaths before there is any sign of a breakthrough.Every breakthrough is a narrow escape.From the ordinary flesh body at the beginning, it can be transformed into a copper body, then a silver body, and finally a golden body.

The current Siming is in the realm of the bronze body, but the strength of the body is frighteningly high, and he once resisted the full blow of the early stage of the Xiantian realm.

The gap between Tongmai Realm and Xiantian Realm can be said to be the gap between two mountains.

Siming is already proud enough to be able to withstand a full-strength attack from the early days of the Xiantian Realm.

It's a pity that such a person died before he had time to grow up in his previous life.

During the turmoil in Jianwu Villa this time, I rushed out to save people, I don't know how many mysterious people's attacks I resisted, and I was beaten to death from exhaustion in the end.It can be said to be one of the top talents lost in Jianwu Villa.

It's really sad.

There are several other sects, and several celebrities are outstanding talents that Yan Xuelan once saw in the intelligence. It is indeed a great honor to see them in real life. Each of these people are excellent martial arts seedlings, and even more This made Yan Xuelan determined to let these people survive and change Jianwu Villa.
