Swordsman Fengyunzhi

Chapter 86 Visit by Lu Zhanyuan
"Just leave the matter of Baihu and Gu Dao to me. If you intervene rashly, it will only make the situation between them more rigid."

Jing Zhongqiu was stunned for a moment, he thought that Qinglong Beast God would think twice before making a decision, but he didn't expect to agree so soon, because the task was completed too quickly, the old man didn't know whether he should leave or not.

But then Qinglong interrupted his thoughts.

"Besides, I have one thing for you to do."

Jing Zhongqiu was a little surprised. In his memory, most of the Qinglong Beast Gods did it by themselves, and rarely entrusted their work to the people in the Holy Land of Ten Thousand Beasts.

"Qinglong Beast God, please tell me, we will definitely do our best."

The young man in the long coat saw that the other party seemed to be overreacting, so he chuckled and brought the atmosphere back to normal. He replied:
"Don't be so nervous, it's not a big deal."

Jing Zhongqiu's face turned red when he heard this, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. He thought that Qinglong Beast God had some big plan for him to do.

"Then dare to ask Senior Qinglong what's going on?"

"Afterwards, someone from the Hall of True Martial Arts may come to visit the Holy Land of Ten Thousand Beasts, and he may bring some conditions or benefits to you in order to get you to agree to exchange for the Xizhou Sword in Gu Dao's hand." The young man in the long coat replied slowly.

"Oh?" Jing Zhongqiu was a little surprised. Although he knew that the Xizhou Sword was an ancient divine sword, it wasn't to the point where the Hall of True Martial Arts coveted it.

"You don't need to ask more about the reasons. In short, just refuse them. In addition, you go and send someone to tell Baihu, Xuanwu and Suzaku that they will come to visit Soul Palace in five days."

"Yes." Afterwards, Jing Zhongqiu took the "task" and left here, but on the way back, he became more and more confused. He was curious why the Qinglong Beast God could count everything, as if he could predict the future. However, he is very relieved to have such a wise man in the Holy Land of Ten Thousand Beasts, and it is precisely because of the presence of Qinglong that they can do everything in the Ten Thousand Beast Kingdom without any worries.

……

A few days later, as expected, a person from the Hall of True Martial Arts came to the Holy Land of Ten Thousand Beasts, but the visitor was somewhat unexpected.

"Lu Zhanyuan?!"

Jing Zhongqiu was the most surprised. He didn't expect that the Zhenwu Dao Palace attached so much importance to this sword that they would let this old guy come in person.

Compared to the surprise of the other party, the boy in Taoist robe behaved very naturally.

"Hey, everyone is here." This opening line fit Lu Zhanyuan's temperament very well.

Jing Zhongqiu took the lead to take over the topic, and asked pretending not to know: "Hehe, I still don't know why Elder Lu came here."

However, Lu Zhanyuan waved his hand and replied: "It's nothing, I just came to catch up with you and get acquainted with each other." He took off the gourd on his waist and drank wine.

The four old men looked at each other, they naturally knew that the other party was coming with the Xizhou sword, but they couldn't point it out if the other party didn't speak, so the four of them stared at each other in the hall.

Lu Zhanyuan chuckled, as if he really had no purpose in coming here.

Now it's Jing Zhongqiu's turn to be a little embarrassed. If the other party doesn't ask, the task entrusted to him by Qinglong Beast God will not be completed, but he saw that Elder Lu really didn't seem to want to speak, so he sighed. I can only ask first:
"Elder Lu came here for the Xizhou Sword?"

After hearing this, the Taoist boy put away the wine gourd unhurriedly. He glanced at everyone present, and then said slowly:

"It turns out that a few of you already knew about it."

Now that the conversation has been spread out, there is no need for Jing Zhongqiu to hide it, so he asked directly: "Hehe, this Xizhou Sword is the ancient divine sword of my Ten Thousand Beast Kingdom. If Elder Lu wants to take it?" As for the sword, what kind of bargaining chips can be exchanged?"

Lu Zhanyuan smiled and said, "Nothing."

Jing Zhongqiu's eyes were fixed, his tone was slightly cold, and he said:

"The Taoist chief is trying to be a white wolf with empty hands."

"Jing Daoyou's words are wrong," the Taoist boy continued, "The Xizhou sword is the magic weapon of the ancient way. As far as I know, it seems that the beast god of the ancient way has not yet joined the Holy Land of Ten Thousand Beasts. Such a bargaining chip, that is also negotiating with Gu Dao."

Jing Zhongqiu was at a loss for words when he heard it, it seemed that this was the reason, but after thinking about it, he found that he seemed to have fallen into the other party's trap.

"Isn't that right? The Xizhou Sword is not the magical weapon of the Beast God Ancient Dao, but her master's. It's just in Gu Dao's hands for the time being. Speaking of which, the master of Gu Dao was born in Shituoling, and Shituo Ridge is our territory, so the Xizhou Sword should naturally belong to our Holy Land of Ten Thousand Beasts."

Lu Zhanyuan chuckled and said, "As expected of being the contractor of the beast god Qinglong, but no matter what price I can offer, you won't agree to it."

Jing Zhongqiu was just a little proud, but then he was crushed by the other party's last sentence.

"As expected of the Great Elder of the Hall of True Martial Arts, I am afraid that this kind of resourcefulness is unrivaled except by no one in the world." Although the jade old man was thinking secretly in his heart.

"Since Great Elder Lu knows, why do you still come here?" asked the old man wearing basalt and black jade.

The Taoist robed boy took out the empty wine gourd, and said to the four people in front of him, "I said, I'm just here to reminisce about the old days (renew the wine)."

At this time, Jing Zhongqiu still had no intention of playing "character puzzles" with the other party, he quickly said:
"Elder Lu, stop joking. We old fellows are not that familiar with you, and with your strength, even if you want to reminisce about the past, you should find the beast god Qinglong to reminisce about the past."

Lu Zhanyuan laughed: "The old Taoist came here to catch up with Fellow Daoist Qinglong. As for why he came to the Holy Land of Ten Thousand Beasts, of course it was to deal with Fellow Daoist Qinglong's plan and just go through the process."

The four elders couldn't hide the shock in their hearts after hearing this. It's really terrifying that the Great Elder of the Hall of True Martial Arts can even do this.

"Since we have already said hello, the old Taoist will not stay any longer. I think fellow Taoist Qinglong is getting impatient waiting in Wangpi Palace."

After saying that, Lu Zhanyuan's figure flashed and turned into dust and smoke, dissipating in the Holy Land of Ten Thousand Beasts.

With the Taoist boy's departure, the four old men breathed a sigh of relief. It's not that the other party's aura is so strong, but that omniscient and omniscient attitude makes them feel that they are like light in the other party's eyes. Just like the body, there is no secret at all.

"Such a person is too scary." The black jade old man took a deep breath, trying to suppress the fear in his heart.

The other three elders fell silent, they kind of understood why the Interceptor Church had lost so thoroughly in the debate over the interpretation.
