Ye Liuyun chuckled, but as she was talking, she suddenly saw someone who surprised her.
"Eh? Miss Fu, you are here too. Aren't you planning to return to Jiutian Holy Land?" Ye Liuyun glanced at Fu Yunshi who was standing in the crowd.
Fu Yunshi smiled slightly.
"I naturally have to participate in such a lively alchemist exchange activity before going back. Why doesn't Elder Ye welcome me?" Fu Yunshi asked with a smile.
She has adjusted her condition in the past few days. As an alchemist and an employee practitioner, she would be useless if she couldn't even withstand such a blow.
Self-confidence is a good thing, but arrogance is a disease. Fortunately, Fu Yunshi does not have this arrogance, and even if she does, it is not particularly serious.
"No, no, come, I have prepared top-quality spiritual wine to entertain you." Ye Liuyun motioned for everyone to enter her dojo.
After entering the Taoist temple, there were many spiritual fruits and her specially made spiritual wine placed on the purple crystal table and chairs left by Su Wangchen last time.
These alchemists must have been shocked by Ye Liuyun's spiritual wine. They probably didn't expect that Ye Liuyun would treat them with such good spiritual wine.
At this moment, Ye Liuyun also got to know many alchemists from the Netherworld, who were spread all over the Jiuxiao Realm.
As for the monks from the Five Poison Sect, they left as soon as the event ended. This time they did not achieve their desired goals, or perhaps they underestimated the Supreme Sense Sect.
But it’s not entirely without gain.
Moreover, their performance after Ye Liuyun left was still very good and they did not lose much.
Ye Liuyun's name has also officially entered the sight of various major forces.
First it was the Jiu Tian Holy Land, especially the Shang Qing Four Palaces. At this time, the strong men of the Shang Qing Four Palaces had already known the news from the Tai Shang Ganying Sect, and their team from the Jiu Tian Holy Land was slapped in the face by Ye Liuyun.
Fortunately, those people were not sent by them. Most of them were disciples from the four factions of the Li family. They originally wanted to disrupt the situation, but they didn't expect that a Cheng Yaojin would appear halfway, which made them fail to disrupt the situation and instead slap themselves in the face.
In Shangqing Palace.
"Everyone, why do I feel that the Tai Shang Ganying Sect wants to break away from the control of our Shangqing Four Palaces?" The Shangqing Patriarch said solemnly.
“What can we do? This small world suddenly disappeared, and our Jiutian Holy Land also lost its absolute dominance over this continent. It is naturally impossible to make them obey us as before.” Taiqing Patriarch also said.
The other two ancestors also nodded.
But at this moment, Patriarch Shaoqing spoke.
"What is there to worry about? Based on the relationship between our four families and the Lin family, if she becomes the leader of the Supreme Induction Sect, it will actually be a good thing for us."
The four families of Shangqing Palace are absolutely confident in Lin Aoxue, because the four families that the Lin family married into back then are the original families of their four palaces, Yang, Su, Yu, and Qin.
But it was purely an accident that the Lin family met with these four families.
In other words, the fate of Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue can be said to be closely related to the Tai Shang Ganying Sect.
The four Shangqing families control Lin Aoxue's family, the four Qingxu families control Ye Liuyun's family, and the four Li families are the faction to which Li Muyun belongs.
"Is this Ye Liuyun the grandson of Li Muyun? If so, the situation will be very delicate." Patriarch Yuqing also said.
"That should be it. After all, as far as we know, Lin Aoxue married this boy when she was a teenager, and then they entered the world of cultivation. But then this boy disappeared inexplicably." The Shangqing Patriarch replied.
Those sitting here are the core figures of their four major factions, and they can be said to be family members.
After they thought for a while, Patriarch Taiqing suddenly burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, don't think too much. With this relationship, Li Muyun will definitely not stand on the side of the Li family. The Li family has never been good to their family. Now that the families of his grandson and granddaughter-in-law are on our side, the history of the Li family should come to an end."
Indeed, judging from the current situation, it is beneficial to them anyway.
At the same time in Ziwei Palace.
The Master of Ziwei Palace and the Ziwei Patriarch called Li Muyun over. They already knew Ye Liuyun's identity.
"Mu Yun, have you heard about what happened at the Supreme Induction Sect?" said the Master of Ziwei Palace.
Li Muyun had naturally heard about it, and she also understood why the Master of Ziwei Palace had called her here.
"I heard about it." Li Muyun replied calmly.
When the Master of Ziwei Palace saw Li Muyun was so calm, he couldn't help but look at the Ziwei Patriarch who was sitting next to him.
"Mu Yun, it's been so long since what happened, you should have let it go. As the direct descendant of Emperor Jiuxiao Tiandi, you have also awakened the emperor's blood. The task of revitalizing the Jiutian Holy Land belongs to you. I hope you can understand what is more important." said the Ziwei ancestor.
When Li Muyun heard this, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
"Then what does the old ancestor want me to do? Convince my grandson and his wife to join Ziwei Palace?" Li Muyun asked in return.
These words left Patriarch Ziwei speechless for a moment.
Because they had already found out the whereabouts of the Lin family and the Ye family, and after they learned that these two families had long been controlled by the Four Palaces of Shangqing and the Four Palaces of Qingxu, they actually knew that they had no chance of winning, not to mention that these two families had no good feelings towards their Li family.
All I can say is that everything was beyond my expectations.
Seeing that they were silent, Li Muyun spoke up.
"Ancestor, Palace Master, please forgive me for saying something treasonous, but our Li family has controlled the Nine Heavens Region for tens of thousands of years. Aren't we satisfied? Now that the Li family has lost its talent, why do we have to forcefully fight for power with the other eight families? Why don't we just let them go?"
"Is the Jiutian Holy Land important, or is the survival of our Li family more important?" Li Muyun said.
The outstanding children of the Li family who went out either disappeared or died inexplicably. It was most likely related to internal struggles, but both sides were relatively restrained and did not completely tear each other apart.
But the Li family is no longer able to win, that is the fact, and it is useless to force it.
“No! Who said that our Li family lost? Don’t forget, the imperial soldiers of Jiutian Holy Land are still in the hands of our Li family.” Ancestor Ziwei said in a deep voice.
They did not want to admit defeat just because they had the imperial weapons in their control. They felt that if the situation really came to a life-and-death struggle, they would definitely use the imperial weapons to suppress the eight families.
"Yes, the imperial soldiers are in our hands, but the question is, are you sure you want to use them against your own family? Do you know how many resources the eight families control in the Jiutian Holy Land? Once the eight families are in trouble, what can we, the four Li families, do?" Li Muyun said again.
Li Muyun's words hit their sore spots one by one.
For the Four Palaces of Ziwei, they only have two choices. The first is to obey fate, give up their rights and hand over the sovereignty of Jiutian Holy Land to the side branches.
The so-called side branches are naturally the other eight factions that have nothing to do with the Li family.
The second option is to kill the other eight and destroy the Jiutian Holy Land.
As for the former, as long as the four palaces of the Li family give birth to some outstanding children, they will still have a chance to regain sovereignty; as for the latter, they will be digging their own graves.
After all, if one is not capable enough and is unwilling to let capable people take the stage, the final result will probably be destruction.
"Ancestor, we are immortal cultivators. Immortal cultivators must obey the will of heaven. Do you think there is really a powerful force in this world that will last forever?"
Li Muyun's words made Ziwei Patriarch and the others fall into deep thought. Seeing that they were thinking with their heads down, Li Muyun planned to tell them another idea that he had been thinking about for a long time.
"Disciple, I have a suggestion. Don't you want people from the other eight families to come to power? It's simple. Just let my grandson or granddaughter-in-law come to power. They are related to our Li family as well as their eight families. Then they will definitely not favor anyone after they come to power." Li Muyun proposed a very neutral method.
As soon as this idea was put forward, the eyes of Ziwei Patriarch and Ziwei Palace Master lit up.
After thinking for a while, Patriarch Ziwei suddenly asked another question.
"If they can sit in this position, so can you. Why don't you want to?" asked the Ziwei Patriarch.
Considering the relationship between Ye Liuyun, Lin Aoxue and her, Li Muyun is a good choice to sit in this position, but Li Muyun has always refused.
"I can't, because my last name is Li, it's that simple. Doesn't the ancestor know this truth?" Li Muyun asked back.
Indeed, the Four Palaces of Qingxu and the Four Palaces of Shangqing will never let anyone with the surname Li come to the power again, because why? You four families are not good enough, yet you still want to occupy this position by force. Who can accept this?
Ancestor Ziwei sighed heavily again.
"Oh! Forget it, let's not talk about this for now. It's still very early. If you have time, go to the Supreme Induction Sect to meet your granddaughter and granddaughter-in-law and see what they think first." Patriarch Ziwei didn't want to continue this topic.
It is not so easy to give up power, and this matter cannot be resolved by Li Muyun's mere words.
When Li Muyun heard this, he nodded immediately.
"I understand, don't worry, ancestor. As a member of the Li family, I will not watch the Li family decline." Li Muyun also said.
This was also the truth. Although she was very dissatisfied with her ancestors and elders, her surname was Li after all. If possible, she hoped that they could live in harmony.
The Nine Heavens Holy Land now has a policy of peace if things go well and war if things go against it.
Or maybe they still have room for easing the tension, and it all depends on what choices the four concubines of the Li family make.
Chapter 537: The Willing One Takes the Bait (5000 words)
The time passed quietly, and in the blink of an eye a week passed.
On this day, Ye Liuyun, who was in the Goddess Pavilion, suddenly received a message from someone.
"Oh? I was just thinking of a reason to get this woman out, but I didn't expect her to come to my door on her own." Ye Liuyun, who was sitting in the courtyard with Lin Aoxue, looked at the communication token in his hand with a playful look.
Lin Aoxue was stunned when she heard this.
"What's wrong? Who asked you out?"
"It was Li Yue from Tianhuan Peak. She contacted me and said that she accidentally obtained a treasure map and discovered a secret realm somewhere in Tianduanling. However, that place is deep in the depths of Tianduanling and it is too dangerous. She said she didn't dare to go alone, so she contacted several powerful people in the sect who had reached the secret realm of transformation, and planned to go and take a look together." Ye Liuyun replied.
When Lin Aoxue heard this, she raised her eyebrows.
Those who are trying to please others without any reason are either treacherous or thieves. Not to mention that they know that Liyue is a member of the Anti-Immortal Alliance. There is absolutely no good intention in getting Ye Liuyun out at this time.
"Since she has seen your abilities, she should know that it is basically impossible for her to win against you with her level of skills. I think she must have help." Lin Aoxue said.
Ye Liuyun nodded.
"That's for sure, but since she came to me on her own initiative, I don't have to find a reason to ask her out. I'll go and see what she's up to." Ye Liuyun said with a smile.
"Well, be careful." Lin Aoxue warned.
Just like that, Ye Liuyun left the Goddess Pavilion as soon as possible and went to Tianyi City, because the meeting place of Liyue was in Tianyi City.
Ten minutes later, at a high-end spiritual food restaurant somewhere in Tianyi City.
I saw three cultivators in the Mystical Transformation Realm sitting in a gorgeous private room, one man and two women. The one with the highest level of cultivation was a middle-aged man in the fourth level of the Yuanshen realm.
"Liyue, are you sure Ye Liuyun will agree to accompany you to Tianduan Ridge?" said the man of the fourth level of the soul.
Liyue shook her head.
"I'm not sure. We'll have to wait until he gets here. Things like this definitely need to be discussed." Liyue replied.
In addition to Liyue, the other two are Tai Xiao, the core elder of Taiyuan Peak, and Li Yu, the faction elder of Tianyin Peak.
These two people are the other two helpers invited by Liyue. However, I didn’t expect that this woman could even invite the core elders of Taiyuan Peak. She is not simple.
Just as the three of them were looking serious, the door of the private room was suddenly knocked.
"We should be here." The three of them stood up quickly.
Li Yue and the other two looked at each other and then walked forward to open the door. When they opened it, they saw Ye Liuyun standing at the door with a smile on his face, led by a maid.
"We meet again, Elder Liyue." Ye Liuyun greeted him with a kind face.
Li Yue was dressed very coolly today and looked quite attractive. The first time Ye Liuyun saw this woman, he knew in his heart that this woman might be trying to seduce him.
"Haha, I didn't expect Elder Ye to really come. Please come in." Li Yue gestured with a smile.
After Ye Liuyun came in, he found two other people sitting in the private room. Since none of them were wearing sect uniforms, Ye Liuyun didn't know which factions they were from.
"Elder Ye, let me introduce them to you. They are the other two helpers I mentioned. This one is Tai Xiao, the core elder of Taiyuan Peak, and this one is Li Yu, an elder of the Taiyin Peak faction. We have known each other for many years and are friends." Li Yu introduced.
Ye Liuyun looked at Tai Xiao with an earnest gaze, then quickly greeted the two of them politely.
"Haha, nice to meet you two, hello."
The two of them also changed their previous seriousness and became very kind.
"Elder Ye, I've heard of your name for a long time. At the ceremony competition a week ago, you defeated many heroes for our Supreme Induction Sect." Tai Xiao laughed.
"Yes, Elder Ye is still young and yet he has a daughter like Junior Sister Xuanmiao as his wife, who is also a talented alchemist and a talented physical practitioner. He can be said to be a man of natural talent." Li Yu also smiled and praised.
These two people are really good at talking, and they made Ye Liuyun laugh uncontrollably.
After a few polite words, the two sides sat down to discuss the trip to Tianduanling.
"Elder Ye, I have no choice but to invite you here this time. You are the only few elders I know." Li Yue said.
"Well, let's talk about business." Ye Liuyun didn't want to waste time.
Soon, Liyue began to tell about the treasure land.
When Ye Liuyun saw this guy starting to talk about the secret realm, he immediately laughed strangely in his heart.
"Please start your performance. I want to see how you can convince me to go to Tianduanling with you." Ye Liuyun muttered in his heart.
What did Li Yue say? The general meaning was that she obtained a treasure map, and she took out the treasure cabinet in public for Ye Liuyun and the other two to see.
This treasure map does seem to be real, but just in case, Liyue only showed the three of them half of it. The other half could only be viewed by the three of them if they agreed to go to Tianduan Ridge with her.
After Tai Xiao and Li Yu looked at the treasure map and confirmed that it was real, they hesitated for a moment and then agreed to Li Yue.
