Defying the Martial Way to Burn the Heavens
Chapter 4158: Brothers at the beginning
Meeting old friends is always a joyful thing, especially when two people who were originally close friends can meet again after such a terrifying chaos.
Wan Liang comes from Jincheng in the northern state of Fengtian Dynasty, and Mingguang is a big family in Jincheng. They are not just old acquaintances, but have cooperated and developed with each other for many years.
When Wan Liang was at his peak, he had become the leader among the city lords in Beizhou, and he seemed to have the qualifications and strength to be promoted to the governor of a county in Beizhou. The reason why he has not moved yet is that he cannot give up the foundation of his development for the time being.
He has been working hard to cultivate a capable subordinate, hoping that when he becomes the county governor, this confidant will control Jincheng. Only in this way can he feel at ease.
At the same time as Wan Liang rises, the one who joins hands with him to become stronger is naturally the "good partner and good brother" Ming Guang, or the entire Ming family.
The Ming family was originally in Beizhou and could only be regarded as a medium-sized family. When Wan Liang first became the city lord, the Ming family was at best the "local snake" of Jincheng. Looking at the entire Beizhou, it was not ranked at all.
Later, Wan Liang and the Ming family joined forces. The former eliminated dissidents in Jincheng, while the latter recruited a group of families in Jincheng to quickly grow and rise.
Wan Liang and Ming Guang of the Ming family can be considered "like-minded", and they both know very well that in this case, if both parties want to gradually become stronger, what they need most is their own strength.
The two of them basically have the same idea, that is, to be strong, you cannot rely entirely on external forces. Only strong own strength can be considered truly strong, and it is also the most reliable strength.
Therefore, when the two won the first stage of victory, they firmly controlled Jincheng in the hands of the City Lord's Mansion and the Ming Family. Not only did they devote a lot of resources to cultivate a group of subordinates and family members, but they also attracted a group of lone warriors who had no foundation.
The most important thing is that the two of them practice hard and crazily improve their strength. In this process, the two of them compete with and compare with each other.
It was also at this stage that they gradually grew from just entering the concentration stage to the current level of the middle stage of concentration.
The situation was exactly as planned by the two of them. After having the strong strength of the middle stage of Ning Nian as a support, the "vision" and "appetite" of the two of them had obviously changed. At the same time, they also have stronger control over the forces in their hands.
To be more precise, they did not regard Jincheng as the end point, but only as a springboard to get started. And after they become stronger, they will naturally become more able to control their respective forces.
After that, they cooperated with each other. Wan Liang mobilized the power of the city lord's palace to take action. Mingguang used his own family as the cornerstone to join hands and start expanding outwards.
If he encounters resistance from other city lords, Wan Liang will step in to smooth things over in his official capacity. When resistance comes from various families or forces, the Ming family will take action secretly.
Two people and two forces, one bright and one dark, can be said to be a perfect match. Wan Liang was promoted to the number one position among the city lords in Beizhou, and the Ming family of Mingguang finally became the leader among the various families and sects in Beizhou.
Originally, Wan Liang's next step was to become the county governor and cooperate with the Ming family to attack the east and west states. But it happened that at this time, the powerful Nether Clan came uninvited and disrupted the Kunxuan Continent. The first battle was to attack Fengtian Dynasty Beizhou.
The Nether clan is powerful and extremely cruel and bloodthirsty. They kill and devour humans, completely destroying and disrupting the original order. Even in the early stages of their invasion, they did not leave any space for humans to survive.
Of course, few people know that the reason why Beizhou suffered such bloody massacres is mainly because the Nether Clan must use a large number of living creatures as materials to build the flesh and blood pagoda.
As many humans were slaughtered, order was completely shattered, and all the foundations and efforts of Wan Liang and Ming Guang were destroyed in an instant.
Wan Liang was unwilling to give up everything and return to Fengtian Emperor to be an obedient "dog", but Ming Guang didn't want to start over again.
From this point, it is not difficult to see that even though Wan Liang is the lord of the city and Ming Guang is the head of the family, they have been able to cooperate tacitly for so many years and their thoughts and ideas are similar.
Facing the completely hopeless Beizhou, they also set their sights on the Far North Icefield, hoping to gain something here and get the "hope" of re-emergence.
However, when it comes to exploring the Arctic ice sheet, they have a tacit understanding not to "ventilate" with each other because the relationship between them has changed from cooperation to competition.
It was a bright and dark way at first, but with the destruction of Beizhou, Wan Liang lost his identity as the city lord and disappeared. The power that Wan Liang plans to establish will inevitably compete with the Ming family, so the space for cooperation between the two parties will only become smaller and smaller.
Although each of them did not choose to cooperate because they saw this clearly, they have not yet broken their skin. Even when they escaped from Beizhou not long ago, they were still partners who "loved each other."
But they didn't expect that their first meeting after separation would be in the icebergs of the Far North Icefield, and in such a "dramatic" way.
Ming Guang was surprised at first, but he quickly came to his senses, and then a strong look of vigilance appeared on his face.
Wan Liang was slightly startled, but also recovered from the surprise. Because the shielding effect of the previous formation was "two-way", it was only after the formation effect was removed that he discovered that the group of people who had just arrived belonged to the Ming family.
"You, why are you here?" When Wan Liang asked this question, he felt that this question would only make the atmosphere more awkward.
But Ming Guang seemed to be unaware that Wan Liang was deliberately trying to ease the atmosphere, and answered very seriously: "After the chaos in Beizhou, my Ming family wandered for a while like a rootless duckweed. We found that in order to make the family stand firm and let the younger generation of the family have a future, we can only obtain special resources, so we chose to explore the Arctic ice field."
I don't know if he was affected by the other party's serious answer, or if the other party's words really touched him, Wan Liang also showed a sighing expression for a while and nodded.
"Hey, you should also change it. Everyone's situation is similar. After we left Beizhou, we also deeply felt the four words "difficult to move forward".
If we only rely on the resources we brought out when evacuating from Beizhou, we can only be trapped in one place at most. There is no hope at all, so I must think of other ways.
And time cannot be delayed too long. I think in this regard,... Brother Mingguang should be the most clear."
When he heard the last four words "Brother Mingguang", Mingguang, who had been nodding lightly, looked up with a slight surprise, and stared deeply at Wanliang in front of him.
"You still call me Brother Mingguang?"
Wanliang smiled bitterly and said: "Even if we have come to this point, Big Brother is still my Big Brother. When you and I first met and proposed cooperation, I recognized you as my Big Brother. After so many years, no matter when and where, you are always my Big Brother."
Although these words were said a little calmly, the emotions in them penetrated into Mingguang's heart silently.
Back then, Wanliang, as the city lord, secretly met with Mingguang, who had just become the head of the family. At that time, whether in terms of identity, status, or cultivation, Wan Liang was a little higher than Ming Guang.
But Wan Liang recognized the other party as his elder brother, and from then on, a city lord and a famous family lord began to cooperate for many years. It seemed that everything started from that time when Wan Liang chose to lower his posture.
Now the world has changed, and the two almost "wanderers" have reunited in this iceberg, and the word "eldest brother" has become a different taste and weight.
Ming Guang, who was finally touched, let down his guard a little, and his eyes slowly swept over the other people around him.
His sight especially stayed on those warriors who blocked the passages. This was not only observing them, but also judging these people. In addition, Ming Guang also made a silent question in this way, "What is going on?" Or "What do you mean by this?"
Wan Liang's brows frowned inadvertently, and even those who knew him very well could not read more information from his expression and eyes.
Perhaps only Wan Liang himself could understand what kind of entanglement he was in at the moment.
Although he had considered it long ago and obeyed all the arrangements and orders of Guiyan. But after all, in the face of life and death, everything else seemed so unimportant.
However, what he never expected was that the person who appeared in front of him would be Ming Guang, and the most important person in the Ming family. This inevitably caused a little wavering and contradiction in his originally firm heart.
But as Ming Guang's sight slowly swept over the surrounding Guiyan, Blizzard, and others, and then turned to himself again, Wan Liang had already made a decision.
It's not that he can make a decision so quickly, but that he doesn't have so much time to think about it, and can only decide in such a short time.
"Don't get me wrong, they are all my partners, who gathered together for treasure hunting. I didn't know it would be you before, so we prepared more, and of course we don't need these now."
When Wan Liang spoke, he had already looked at Guiyan and Blizzard from a distance, without saying anything, just looking at them calmly.
From the beginning, Guiyan and Blizzard didn't say anything, just watching everything happening in front of them calmly. Even without Huankong's reminder, Zuo Feng could feel that there would be a "good show" to be staged next.
Guiyan and Blizzard turned their heads at the same time and looked at each other. Without any communication or consideration, they looked at the people in the passage at the same time.
Guiyan looked at the warriors of Guixiao Pavilion, and Blizzard looked at Hanbing and Simantuo. These people did not hesitate at all. When their eyes met, they had roughly understood it, and then they walked out of the passage.
Mingguang and other people in the Ming family were not only very vigilant, but also ready to fight their way out. But what they didn't expect was that these people easily opened the passage.
In this way, the whole scene eased, and Mingguang was a little confused at this time. In his heart, he was actually very conflicted. Should he choose to stay or take people away from here immediately?
