Daily life of slaying demons in the government

Chapter 172: Beautiful on the Surface, Difficult Under the Surface

In the Thundering Mountain, there is the Tinglei Palace.

Faintly amid the roaring thunder in the ears, there was a melodious sound of piano in the hall, which echoed with the thunder to form a contradictory rhythm of fast and slow. But when it fell into the ears, there was a kind of complementary comfort, and even made people intoxicated by it and forget the restlessness of the thunder.

The song is over.

Xu Xiushan opened his eyes with an unsatisfied look, a hint of joy on his face.

"The sect master's thundering piano music has reached the point of being intoxicating. With this piano music accompanying him, I think the sect master's thundering magic is about to be perfected, right?"

There were only two people in the hall: Xu Xiushan and Lei Lingzi Xu Hai.

The two of them were from the same lineage and were blood relatives, so naturally they were considered the direct line in the Five Thunder Palace. They could also talk about the most confidential matters, and they were less cautious than others when speaking.

For example, Xu Xiushan could directly ask Xu Hai questions about cultivation, and Xu Hai would not feel that Xu Xiushan was abrupt, let alone feel offended.

"It's easier said than done. Thunderbolt was passed down by our ancestor. It has been practiced by all the Lei Lingzi of all generations, but only two have mastered it. Although I boast of my talent, I still struggle with this skill and make slow progress. Even with the help of Qin Yin, it will probably take at least ten to twenty years for me to master it."

Ten to twenty years is not a very long time span for cultivators like Xu Hai and Xu Xiushan. It can even be said to be very short. But sometimes such a buffer time is lacking, and it is hard to find.

Upon hearing this, Xu Xiushan's face darkened and his smile stiffened a little.

But soon a glimmer of hope flashed in Xu Xiushan's eyes, and he smiled and said, "Master, don't worry too much. Although time is tight, there is still hope for a reversal. Don't forget that we still have one of our registered disciples in Sandao City."

"Hey, that Yang Qian? This guy is indeed interesting, and he does have the potential to help us overcome the difficulties. But we can't act too hastily. We need to win him over first and make sure he doesn't get stolen away by others."

Speaking of the little captain of the police in Sandao City, Xu Hai finally showed a hint of a smile on his face.

It was indeed as Xu Xiushan said, Wu Lei Palace had been in trouble for the past few years, and now it was about to fall into a vicious circle and it would be difficult to escape. And the little captain named Yang Qian was the only one who gave Wu Lei Palace a glimmer of hope to stabilize its position in the past few years.

"Don't worry, Sect Master. Yang Qian seems to be in the secular world, and is only focused on getting an official position. He probably has no interest in the life of an immortal sect. Even after observing him for so long, he doesn't care much about the status of an immortal sect, but only values ​​the method of immortality.

So this time, I gave Yang Qian a little convenience through Feng Qingyi and gave him "The First Volume of Five Thunders" in advance, so that he could refine the thunder energy earlier. In that way, it would not be easy for him to change his sect in the future. So I tied him down first.

But if I borrow Feng Qingyi's way, it will be difficult to punish him for running a spirit stone business outside privately."

"Hahaha, Feng Qingyi's matter is irrelevant. But Xiushan, you are still so careless, aren't you afraid of ruining your reputation?"

"It's just a small matter, not worth mentioning. I wonder if Yang Qian can quickly master the Five Thunders First Volume after getting it. If not within half a year, if he can master the Five Thunders First Volume within a year, then this kid will be of great use!"

"Half a year? A year? Haha, Xiushan, isn't your request too harsh? You were also known as a talented person in the mountains back then. How long did it take you to practice "The First Volume of Five Thunders"? I remember it was two and a half years or three and a half years? How come Yang Qian can say it was half a year?" "Hehe, Sect Master, this is all because of this kid Yang Qian. "The True Meaning of the Five Qis" was completed in less than a month. If this speed can be maintained, it is not impossible to complete "The First Volume of Five Thunders" in half a year.

And if I can continue to familiarize myself with the "Five Thunders Volume 2" within a year, I will be able to win the competition when the time comes."

Xu Hai stood up from the piano platform, walked to the window, and sighed: "I didn't expect that the hope of our Five Thunder Palace would fall on an outer sect registered disciple. The unpredictable things in this world are really unpredictable."

"In fact, it is the Immortal Alliance that is responsible, otherwise why would all the immortal sects in the world be in such a predicament and struggling as they are now?" Xu Xiushan did not think that this was something unpredictable, but believed that this was a man-made disaster, and the root of everything was not luck, but the Immortal Alliance.

Seeing Xu Hai remained silent, Xu Xiushan continued to say with hatred:
"The Immortal Alliance is no longer what it used to be. Now it is suppressing the immortal sects everywhere, plundering resources, and even deliberately provoking fights between the immortal sects, in order to consolidate its position as a major sect and continue to hold on to the world's largest and most high-quality resources.

Anyone who dares to resist will be killed by any means possible.

Now more than 80% of the secret realms are directly occupied by the Immortal Alliance in the name of "coordination", and every five years, you have to compete for a place to enter. And they also say nicely "let the young disciples experience more hardships", and forcibly exclude the backbone of each immortal sect.

Humph! That's a very high-sounding statement, isn't it because the younger generations in these major sects can best distance themselves from the younger generations of the lower sects by relying on their skills and resource advantages?

If this continues, all the immortal sects in the world will starve to death in front of those big sects!"

"Okay Xiushan, let's talk about the Immortal Alliance in private, don't complain too much. It is said that the Immortal Alliance has spies all over the world, and this is not groundless. We don't know how many such spies there are in our Five Thunder Palace.

The people from Piao Miao Peak came here this time, and they definitely have bad intentions. They must be here for the secret realm arena in two years. Maybe they want to take advantage of our misfortune and bleed us again like before, so that we can't give our best in the arena.

I just don’t know why Lu Chunfeng left halfway. I don’t know if he will come again later.”

Xu Xiushan nodded and said, "Something must have happened. The two juniors of Lu Chunfeng left first, and then Lu Chunfeng left in a hurry. It must be a big thing.

Sect Master, I plan to continue to go to Sandao City to keep an eye on Yang Qian. This guy will probably become more and more outstanding in the future, and it is inevitable that he will be noticed by other sects. I am not very reassured if I don’t keep an eye on him. And I can always keep track of his situation and follow up on the resources I provide him. "

"Has it been trained in secret all this time?" Xu Hai asked.

"Don't worry, Sect Master. Yang Qian is a smart kid. He will soon realize that the things in his hands were given to him by the sect on purpose. I will then choose a suitable time to show up. I should be able to make him come back to his senses. At least I will definitely let him participate in the next competition."

"Just know it yourself. That kid practices swordsmanship and has learned the meaning of swordsmanship. You can start from this aspect and maybe you can sell him better."

"Haha, what the sect leader said is very kind. Yang Qian often uses an ordinary iron, so this time I plan to give him a magic weapon, so that he can understand the sect's feelings for him."
