Too much fruit

Chapter 724 Invitation

"At the moment, the advantage is on me."

In the Lieshan Hall of the Jiang family's ancestral land, Jiang Li sat at the end of the center of the hall and said so.

On the stone chairs to his left and right, the people who came with him were seated and doing post-war analysis.

"Although we have no military support, the number of our high-end combat forces exceeds that of the enemy. The Buddhist Kingdom failed to seize this opportunity to establish an advantage and has fallen into a disadvantage." Jiang Li continued.

"Sikong, great opinion."

Mo Xuankong, the master of Mo Sect, sat on a stone seat on the left. He showed an equal attitude in his words and did not regard Jiang Li as a fourth-grade warrior. "But Tan Wuwei is known for her wisdom and strategy. She may have been prepared for the current situation. In addition, even if she wins in terms of quantity, it may not guarantee that she can kill a third-grade warrior."

The sources of the third-grade Dao fruits are all famous figures in ancient times. Even if the third-grade now only carries the Dao fruits of those great figures, it is still not so easy to kill.

Zhang Zhixuan was killed because he was ambushed by the Fairy Queen and suffered severe injuries, making it difficult for him to escape. In addition, he was unwilling to do so, so he fought to the death.

If it was a third-grade warrior in his prime, even if he could be defeated, he might not be able to be killed.

Even if a third-grade warrior has twice the combat power of his opponent, he cannot be said to be a sure kill, not to mention...
"It may not be twice as strong as the other party." Jiang Li narrowed his eyes slightly.

He did not forget that Tan Wuwei might be related to the Heavenly Emperor, and now only the Buddhist Kingdom has emerged, and the power of the Jiang family has not yet been exposed.

Let’s not talk about anything else, just talk about the suspected existence of the third-grade golden crow...
Just as he was thinking about it, Jiang Li suddenly felt something.

The invisible connection passed through the distance of space and connected with Jiang Li. Gongsun Qingyue and Yu Shi Yuanjun who were present also showed changed expressions at the same time.

The connection was made with Gongsun Qingyue's Wordless Heavenly Book as a springboard, so Gongsun Qingyue was the first to notice it. And Yushi Yuanjun had also served as the elder of Tianxuan, so he was no stranger to the Great Illusion.

The connection centered on the Wordless Book of Heaven could not be hidden from her.

They both knew that it was Tianxuan who was contacting Jiang Li.

The fact was just as they expected. The illusory figure in Jiang Li's eyes gradually solidified and showed a beautiful figure. Tian Xuan's voice rang in Jiang Li's mind: "A big sun entered Qingzhou from the sky over the Yellow Sea, and there was an image of two suns in the sky. The Ji kings used this as an excuse and were unwilling to send troops north."

"Speak of the Golden Crow, and here it comes."

Jiang Li exhaled lightly and replied in his heart: "The head of the Jiang family has also taken action."

There are two days in the sky, which makes the climate enter summer ahead of schedule and quickly become extreme. In addition, there is the Dragon Palace watching, which is enough to contain half of the Great Zhou.

The destructiveness of the Three-legged Golden Crow to people's livelihood is too great. If it is not dealt with immediately, there will be endless troubles.

but--

"The Golden Crow will go north sooner or later. The Jiang family's goal is not to destroy Qingzhou, but to help the Buddhist Kingdom win this war. The Ji clan's kings are dissatisfied with the court." Jiang Li scolded, "They are really a bunch of insects. With this bunch of insects around, how can we run the Great Zhou well?"

"I think they are dissatisfied with you, Jiang Sikong."

Tianxuan replied, and then his voice sank slightly, "With the emperor away, the kings have begun to pretend to obey but secretly disobey."

The key to the Zhou Dynasty's rule lies in the emperor. When the emperor is there, the world is at peace. Under this premise, members of the royal family can also have room to display their abilities.

For example, the eldest princess was in charge of the Southern Heavenly Division, and the kings were enfeoffed in various states. Holding the seal of power, they could suppress the local gods and cultivate human and military forces. As long as the emperor was there, the stronger the kings were, the more prosperous the Great Zhou would be.

Unfortunately, the emperor is now excluded.

So all kinds of demons and monsters came out.

To be honest, it is quite rare that the kings have been able to endure until now and start to pretend to obey but secretly disobey. Don’t you see that the King of Shu and the King of Yue have already started to make trouble.

"This is really bad news,"

Jiang Li shook his head, a faint light flashed between his brows, and the scenes of the Jiang family's ancestral land came into his eyes. "What a coincidence, I also have some bad news coming."

I don’t know if it’s because I said “the advantage is on me”, but the situation that I had the upper hand just now is now taking a sharp turn for the worse.

As Jiang Li finished speaking, a middle-aged man hurried in from outside the palace and reported: "Master, the fourth palace master of Kunxu Immortal Palace, Concubine Yun, wants to see you."

Jiang Li also laughed when he heard the news. He looked at Mo Xuankong and said, "Mo Juzi, Tan Wuwei's trick is here."

As he spoke, he waved his hand gently, signaling Concubine Yun to come in.

Everyone around them changed their expressions when they heard this, knowing that Jiang Li meant that something had changed at Kunxu Immortal Palace. If the Immortal Queen turned against them, that would be very bad news.

On the contrary, Jiang Li, the person in charge, was very calm. Even though he received bad news one after another, he did not show any sign of panic. He was even chatting and laughing, as if he was not afraid of a catastrophe.

Just as everyone was thinking, clouds came in from outside Lieshan Palace, and a beautiful woman in gorgeous palace dress walked into the palace.

As soon as she entered the palace, she felt a lot of eyes on her, which made her body tense subconsciously. Even if she was a fourth-rank official, it was impossible not to be nervous when facing so many eyes. If it weren't for the order from the Fairy Queen, Concubine Yun would have the urge to turn around and flee.

Although she was a fourth-rank, except for Gongsun Qingyue and Li Qinglian, who in the palace was not a fourth-rank or above? Not to mention Jiang Li, the fourth-rank supreme, and Mo Men Juzi, any one of the two, Yu Shi Yuanjun and Tian Mei Yaoshen, could keep Yun Fei here.

Concubine Yun suppressed her fear and walked into the hall in small steps. When she got closer, she bowed and said, "Greetings, Lord Jiang."

She took out an invitation from her sleeve, presented it with both hands, and said, "My Grand Palace Master heard that Sikong was coming to Yongzhou, and was overjoyed. He specially ordered me to invite Master to the Immortal Palace to discuss the original agreement. The Grand Palace Master said that the original agreement is about to be fulfilled, and I am willing to present the Taoist artifact of the Eastern King to ask for Elder Tianxuan's help."

"As expected..." Jiang Li confirmed his guess.

At the beginning, Tianxuan and the Fairy Queen made a covenant that Tianxuan would help the Fairy Queen complete the final promotion ceremony, and the Fairy Queen would help Tianxuan kill a third-grade demon and give away a second-grade Dong Wang Gongdao weapon to make up for the loss of a traitor.

To show sincerity, both parties agreed to conduct the transaction in batches.

First, he solved the problem of the eldest princess and Yu Shi Yuanjun, and then got the Queen of Immortals to help kill the third rank.

This has already been sealed with Zhang Zhixuan's life.

Then, he had to deal with Guanyin, the third-level master, and admit defeat in exchange for the Dongwang Gongdao weapon.

According to the original plan, the two sides would join forces to deal with the Buddha Kingdom by getting the Fairy Queen's fighting power for free. But now the Fairy Queen seems to have solved the obstacle of Guanyin herself, pushing the deal to the final stage.

——The Taoist weapon of the King of the East was used in exchange for Tianxuan’s surrender, so that there would be no more obstacles to the Fairy Queen’s promotion ceremony.

The Fairy Queen openly revealed the deal between herself and the Buddhist Kingdom in order to force Tianxuan to complete the transaction.

If Tianxuan is unwilling, he will be punished by the heaven. When he made the covenant, Tianxuan swore an oath to the heaven and made the oath under the witness of the heaven. If he breaks the oath, he will be punished by the heaven.

And the Queen of Immortals will inevitably become their mortal enemy.

On the contrary, if Tianxuan completes the transaction...
'The Queen will seize this opportunity and be promoted immediately.'

Thinking of this, Jiang Li couldn't help but admire the Fairy Queen's ability to grasp the opportunity. In the past, Jiang Li underestimated the Fairy Queen, only seeing her stubbornness and ignoring her courage and decisiveness.

The second-grade Taoist weapon was given away just to move the Tianxuan stone.

And this ability to jump left and right is also quite amazing. First, he used the pressure from Jiang Li to force Guanyin of the Buddhist Kingdom to bow his head, and now he used the Buddhist Kingdom to force Tianxuan to complete the transaction. At the same time, he also seized the perfect opportunity to be promoted.

This is not an invitation, this is a choice.

Jiang Li thought about it in an instant, and pieced together the Fairy Queen's simple yet time-tested plan. He then reached out to take the invitation and said, "My master is still on the way. Please ask Concubine Yun to go back and report to the Fairy Queen. When my master arrives, I will fulfill our promise as soon as possible."

"The Immortal Palace awaits the arrival of our respected Master."

Concubine Yun was overjoyed when she received Jiang Li's promise. She bowed again immediately and then left hurriedly with a pace that seemed slow but was actually fast.

Looking at the situation, if you don’t know, you would think this is some kind of devil’s cave.

After Concubine Yun left, everyone's eyes fell on the invitation in Jiang Li's hand.

They are all smart people. Even if they don't know the specific details of the transaction, they have roughly guessed it by now.

Jiang Li faced everyone's gaze, weighed the invitation in his hand, and said, "The Fairy Queen used herself as a weight to balance the two parties. Before we complete the deal with her, I'm afraid this battle will be difficult to start."

Before the deal is completed, the Fairy Queen must help the Buddha Kingdom to force Tianxuan to admit defeat. Therefore, we cannot fight at this time.

After the transaction was completed, the Queen of Fairies achieved her goal and she was eager for the two sides to fight.

And now that the Buddhist Kingdom has entered Yongzhou in large numbers and has flourished everywhere, under the premise of not starting a war, the longer the time drags on, the more advantageous it will be for the Buddhist Kingdom. This time, time was not on Jiang Li's side.

Either the transaction problem or the Queen of Fairies must be solved, and it must be solved as soon as possible. It is not wise to delay the arrival of Tianxuan.

The Queen has the situation under control.

Either side is stronger than the Fairy Queen, but at this delicate moment, they have to be checked by the Fairy Queen. It can only be said that although the Fairy Queen suffered a loss under Tianxuan's calculations, her wisdom is definitely not bad.

"In other words, once the deal is completed, we will go into an all-out war with the Buddhist Kingdom." Mo Men Juzi said in a sharp tone.

There was murderous intent in his voice, as if he couldn't wait to kill the traitor Tan Wuwei with his own hands.

Afterwards, everyone discussed some minor matters and the meeting came to an end.

Yushi Yuanjun stood up from the stone seat, her eyes moving, looking at Jiang Li, with a hint of hesitation in her eyes. After a brief silence, she was about to call Jiang Li, but Li Qinglian said first: "Fellow Daoist Jiang, there is a senior who wants to see you."

"Senior?" Jiang Li frowned.

The person who can be called a senior by Li Qinglian...perhaps that is the only one.
