Daqizong

In the next few days, Li Wan stayed in the jingshe in the city, and at the same time sent Ge Nan and Lu Mei to visit other human guests and inquire about news. .

As for the matter of contacting the prince and princess, since the children who hold the real power are still making their own preparations, there is no rush at the moment. On the contrary, those human monks who recognize Li Wan all come to pay a visit.

Most of these guests are from chambers of commerce and small and medium-sized casual cultivator families, allied with each other, and they are located near the sea, adjacent to Tiannan, so naturally they have all heard of Li Wan's name.

Li Wan happened to use these people to inquire about things he was interested in, including the customs, customs, anecdotes, etc. of the East China Sea. From these people, what he had learned before confirmed each other.

Soon, half a month passed, and on the day of the birthday, the whole island was banned, and the guests and friends were in different places to celebrate the birthday of the palace master.

As a distinguished guest, Li Wan received the invitation from the mansion lord and was invited to the mansion.

In the mansion at this time, many monks from all over the world came. The veritable Nascent Soul was full of people, the strong were like a cloud, and the majestic Tiannan Qi Dao master came, which seemed a bit inconspicuous.

Li Wan had already anticipated this situation, so she was not embarrassed, and sat in front of her desk with Xiao Mo and Mi Yan Mi Luo.

"This monster race in a foreign land really likes to judge people by their cultivation."

The birthday banquet was held in accordance with ancient rituals, all the guests sat in separate seats, he saw that his seat was at the bottom, almost at the end of the hall, near the gate, he knew this meant to accompany the last seat, and many demons present The great powers of the family and the masters of loose cultivators are all Nascent Soul cultivators, a total of five or sixty people, and their respective statuses and seating orders are all particular.

In the courtyard outside the hall, there are all the demon kings and alchemy cultivators. At this moment, Li Wan looked around and suddenly saw a familiar figure.

Li Wan was slightly taken aback.

Xiao Mo was receiving the precious spirit wine brought up by the Maid of the Sea, seeing Li Wan looking outside, he asked softly: "Master, what's wrong?"

Li Wandao: "That man turned out to be an elder of Lingbao Sect."

Xiao Mo turned his head and looked, sure enough, it was Lingbaozong's costume.

All major sects have their own costumes and decorations. People with high status do not insist on wearing them, but most of them still make a distinction. People who value etiquette are even more formally dressed.

The reason why Li Wan felt familiar was because this person was wearing a complete set of Lingbaozong elder's outfit, which made him identifiable at a glance.

Xiao Mo said: "This person seems to be called Liu Jichang, he is known as the cold-faced venerable, and he is a great master in the late Yuanying period!"

Li Wan nodded, reminded by Xiao Mo, he also remembered that he had indeed seen many briefings of this person's deeds in the news minutes, and knew that he was a hardliner and powerful master. For hundreds of years, In the land of Zhongzhou, many casual cultivator geniuses who are a threat to the Lingbao Sect, nobles from aristocratic families, either fell into his hands, or were recruited and surrendered. The means are very good.

Seemingly aware of Li Wan's gaze, Liu Jichang suddenly turned his head and looked over.

"Li Wan?"

Seeing Li Wan appearing on such an occasion, a strange light flashed across his eyes.

"Liu Daoyou, who is that person?"

Accompanying Liu Jichang was a handsome middle-aged demon cultivator wearing a purple gold crown and a jade belt around his waist. His face and cheeks were covered with fine scales, and his back and shoulders were covered with fine scales. There are also fins protruding from each place, which is one of the characteristics of higher mermaids.

"It's nothing, First Prince, let's go in."

The eldest prince nodded, and accompanied by everyone, stepped into the hall.

When the mermaid demon cultivator stepped into the hall, the noisy hall fell silent for a while, and many monks turned their heads to look at the demon cultivator.

"The First Prince."

"The eldest prince is here."

Xiao Mo said: "The eldest prince, seems to be the only one among the palace master's children who has cultivated to the realm of the demon emperor, and his strength is extraordinary."

The strength in Xiao Mo's mouth is not only his own strength, but also the masters he recruited to join him, and the clan's allegiance.

Before they investigated the heirs of the Bibo Mansion, they also paid attention to the eldest prince and were going to bet on him. Now it seems that compared with other brothers and sisters, he is really radiant and dazzling.

only……

"Why is Liu Jichang by his side? Could it be that the hand of the Lingbao Sect has also reached into this Bibo mansion?" Xiao Mo whispered, she looked at Li Wan, full of worry, "Master , the situation seems to be a little wrong, the news we read is either too old or superficial, and even such an important thing is not mentioned!"

Li Wandao: "It doesn't matter, it's just Liu Jichang."

He glanced at the figure of the man, then lowered his eyes to rest, and stopped paying attention.

In the hall, the eldest prince greeted all the guests around him. He was handsome and gentle, and his jokes and conversations made people feel like a spring breeze.

But these are just superficial, and everyone knows very well that the reason why he is really popular is that he has the highest level of cultivation among the princes and princesses, and he is already regarded as a strong candidate for the position of palace master. The peerless secret method inherited by the emperor, other princes and princesses, if they are considered worthy of good fortune, have a chance to be promoted, but compared with the deep-rooted eldest prince, they are still a little behind.

In the competition for the position, he already has a huge advantage.

The crowd gathered around him like stars and the moon, and after a while, they toasted and greeted him, and they also came to him.

"This is Li Zongshi from Hushan in Tiannan, fellow Daoist Li Wan."

The waiter flipped through the famous post and said via voice transmission.

The eldest prince said with a smile: "Li Daoyou, thank you for traveling so far to come here to attend my father's birthday celebration. Next up is my father's eldest son, Haichen. Here is a toast to you. Drink first as a respect." He drank the precious wine in the cup in one gulp, looked at Li Wan with a smile on his face.

Li Wan stood up: "I have admired the great prince's reputation for a long time, and when I saw him today, he is indeed extraordinary, please." He also drank the fine wine in his glass.

The First Prince smiled and nodded, exchanged a few words with Li Wan, and then went to the next guest.As the eldest prince of the Bibo Mansion, it is the moment when he needs to make friends from all walks of life and win over allies.

At this time, Liu Jichang unexpectedly came to Li Wan, his expression was calm, and his eyes were full of inexplicable meaning: "Li Daoyou, I never thought that we would meet here."

Li Wandao: "You are Taoist Liu of the Lingbao Sect, right? I have known you for a long time, but I have never met him. I never thought that I would meet here."

Liu Jichang raised his wine glass and said: "Anyway, it's fate to meet each other. Liu respects fellow Taoist, please."

Li Wan smiled without saying a word, and drank the precious wine with him.

Liu Jichang handed the empty cup to the sea maidservant who followed behind him, waved her hand to make her step back, and his eyes became sharp: "If Liu's guess is correct, Daoyou Li must have come here to unite with the East Sea monster clan and negotiate Regarding the matter of breaking trade restrictions, Daoyou Li has done a great job in Tiannan, with a grand layout and far-reaching influence, which is really admirable. It's a pity that Liu, as the elder of the Lingbao Sect, must stand on the opposite side of fellow daoist .”

Li Wandao: "In other words, Fellow Daoist Liu came to the East China Sea this time to unite with the demon clan here, but the purpose is to block my Tiannan Qi Dao and eliminate hidden dangers?"

Liu Jichang flicked his sleeves: "So what?"

Li Wandao: "Friend Liu Daoist acted extremely fast. In such a short time, he has already contacted the First Prince. It seems that he is much more prepared than us."

Liu Jichang proudly said: "Fellow Daoist, you don't need to test it out. The battle here depends entirely on strength and open-minded schemes. It doesn't matter if I tell you everything? Although my Lingbao Sect does not have the advantage of being adjacent to Tiannan like yours, all the great masters have come out to visit us over the years. Traveling, traces all over the world, have already made the impression of the authentic holy place deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The reason why I was able to contact the First Prince this time was not because I acted quickly, but was introduced by other elders of the sect, and the First Prince had friendship with that elder You are very shallow, and you believe in me, Lingbaozong, and you Tiannan, you will not have any chance."

Li Wan frowned and stared at him closely, Liu Jichang also looked at Li Wan without showing any weakness, and then drifted away.

Li Wan snorted coldly and sat down.

Xiao Mo looked at Liu Jichang's back and asked, "Master, what should we do now?"

Li Wandao: "What he said is actually not wrong. With the contact of the Lingbao Sect, it is already very difficult for the First Prince to intervene."

Xiao Mo said: "Could it be that we just give up like this?"

Her eyes were full of unwillingness, but after thinking about it, it seemed that there was really no good way.

Li Wan smiled slightly and said: "Although the eldest prince is a strong demon emperor, he may not be the most suitable candidate compared with other princes and princesses, because what we are going to take is the path of combining interests and friendship. From a point of view, selecting weak people who are in urgent need of our help but have great potential will be more beneficial than the deeply entrenched First Prince. What's more, even if the Lingbao Sect and the First Prince really have a deep friendship, it will not make the First Prince see only They, as long as the magic weapon we refine can move people's hearts, why not occupy a place? At that time, if we find a way to suppress the power of Lingbao Sect in the East China Sea, we will be able to regain this disadvantage sooner or later."

"You know, Tiannan and Donghai are much closer than Zhongzhou and Donghai. Even if Zhongzhou has outstanding people and talented people, they may not be able to beat us in the competition for the East China Sea. Otherwise, that Liu Jichang just now, and How could you come to bluff in front of me?"

Xiao Mo was slightly taken aback: "A bluff?"

She didn't think about it.

While talking, a petite and noble woman walked towards Li Wan under the leadership of Min Hao.

"Min Daoyou?" Li Wan turned his head to look, his expression moved slightly, "This is..."

Min Hao said with a smile on his face, "Li Daoyou, this is our eighth princess, you have seen it before, do you have any impression?"

The eighth princess smiled sweetly, saluted Yingying, and said, "Young Li Daoyou, it's been a long time." (To be continued.)
