Xiuxian: I have an inventory

Chapter 140 Life and Death Warrant!
Faced with Song Changning's relentless pressure, Gu Zongyuan didn't actually take it to heart.

Although they both had similar cultivation bases and the same spiritual roots, they were both regarded by many uninformed cultivators as the most promising geniuses in Liyang Immortal City to form a golden elixir.

But in Gu Zongyuan's heart, he didn't take Song Changning seriously.

In his opinion, the two were not on the same level at all.

How can a mere young master of the Song family be compared with the commander of the Liyang Guard?
It's just nonsense from a bunch of ignorant people!

However, Song Changning's move today, coming directly to him without any hesitation, without any dragging its feet, did indeed disrupt his plan which seemed unsolvable.

This made him, who was originally very excited, a little unhappy.

"Brother Changning, how do we want to investigate this? Do you want me to release my soul and let you search my memory? Or do you want me to release the authority and let Li Yangwei let your Song family investigate at will?" Gu Zongyuan asked with a smile.

His tone was calm, but the implication in his words made people feel his anger.

Song Changning seemed not to have heard it, and continued to insist: "The Song family naturally does not dare to search for Brother Zongyuan's soul. Investigating the Liyang Guard is absolutely impossible. But..."

He changed the subject, looked at Xiao Changqing coldly, and said: "But for this Bai Wuji, my Song family still dares to investigate him, let him tell the truth and give an explanation!"

"Song Changning!" Gu Zongyuan was too lazy to play along and shouted in a bad tone, "I'm really too easy to talk to. I gave your Song family face, right? Bai Wuji is the captain of my Liyang Guards. How dare you, the Song family, investigate?"

"I dare not." Song Changning cupped his hands and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "But Bai Wuji's identity is questionable, his origins are unknown, and he is provocative to our Song family and Senior Blood Crow. I suspect that he was secretly instructed by someone! Perhaps he should not be a Liyang Guard."

Just when Song Changning was about to scold again.

Song Changning suddenly narrowed his eyes and threatened, "Even if this matter comes to the attention of Master Li Yang, our Song family is not afraid! If it is really as Brother Zong Yuan said, Bai Wuji became the captain of the Li Yang Guard long ago, and it was He Yuan who offended him, then Master Li Yang wants to punish our Song family, and we will have no regrets!"

He was convinced in his heart that what happened today was caused by Gu Zongyuan secretly behind the scenes, and that Bai Wuji was recruited into the Liyang Guard only after the "He Yuan incident" happened.

There is no such thing as advance recruitment!

In this way, if this matter gets out of hand, and even reaches the head of Master Li Yang, as one of Master Li Yang's most beloved disciples, Gu Zongyuan will most likely not be in any serious trouble, and at most will be given a mild reprimand. However, the Song family can use this opportunity to save face!

Gu Zongyuan sneered, "You want to make trouble in front of my master? Let's not talk about whether the Song family has the guts to do it. Even if you have the guts, do you have the face to do it?"

The so-called top ten families may seem like formidable and powerful forces to others.

But in the eyes of Master Li Yang, it actually means nothing!

To use an inappropriate metaphor, the ten major families can be said to be the "house slaves" of Li Yang Zhenren! Or in other words, "parasites"!
Many people only know that there is no doubt that the City Lord's Mansion is superior to the top ten families, but they don't know that the top ten families combined are actually not taken seriously by Master Li Yang and can be replaced at will.

Over the one hundred years since the Li Yang Fairy City was built, the ten major families have changed frequently, but this has no effect on Master Li Yang.

Even if all the ten major families were destroyed, Master Li Yang would not be too angry.

This is because the strong men behind the ten major families are at most in the early stage of Jindan, and the weaker ones just have the fake Dan Zhenren as their backers.

And True Man Li Yang is a legendary cultivator in the Dayu Immortal World who is in the late Jindan stage and has the hope of becoming a True Emperor of Yuanying!
Therefore, in the eyes of True Man Li Yang, the ten major families are not much different from ordinary foundation-building cultivators; they are just bigger ants.

As long as it doesn't affect the safety of Li Yang Fairy City, it doesn't matter to him.

"The Song family is certainly not qualified to make trouble in front of Master Li Yang. But what if Senior Blood Crow comes forward?" Song Changning asked.

When Gu Zongyuan heard this, his pupils shrank slightly.

True Man Blood Crow is indeed qualified to meet his master.

Although Master Blood Crow's current strength is still nothing compared to his master.

But this was because his master was too talented.

After forming the golden elixir, his cultivation strength has continued to improve over the past hundred years.

A hundred years ago, his master Li Yang Zhenren was far from being as powerful as he is today, and was not yet at the point where he could ignore the early stages of Jindan.

True Man Blood Crow has been serving his master for nearly a hundred years, and in the beginning he could barely be considered his master's stronger assistant.

So there is a certain affection between the two of them.

If True Man Blood Crow was instigated by Song Changning and thought of this method, and faced the problem openly and honestly, it is indeed possible that he would report the matter to his master.

"Brother Zongyuan, you probably don't want this matter to become too big of a deal, right?" Song Changning said with a smile.

Gu Zongyuan said coldly: "What do you think? Anyway, Bai Wuji has already joined the Liyang Guard. If your Song family wants to move Captain Bai, then you will be the enemy of the Liyang Guard! Even if Senior Xue Ya comes forward and makes trouble in front of my master, I will still say the same thing!"

Although Gu Zongyuan really didn't want to make a fuss in front of his master over such a small matter and make his master think that he was not doing his job well.

But he can't lose face in this matter!
Since Bai Wuji took the initiative to recruit and just publicized the news, the senior officials of Li Yang Xian City are probably aware of the news.

If he pushed Bai Wuji out now, what kind of person would he be? Where was his dignity?

Stealing the chicken is losing the rice!

So no matter what, Bai Wuji is safe!

Even if True Man Blood Crow came, he would still say the same thing!
Song Changning was not surprised at all when the situation came to this point. In fact, he knew Gu Zongyuan better than Gu Zongyuan knew him!
The two of them have been competing openly and secretly. He also knows that Gu Zongyuan thinks he is unworthy and looks down on him, so he wants to surpass Gu Zongyuan even more!

So he was not surprised at all that Gu Zongyuan would do his best to protect Bai Wuji. Instead, it was within his expectations.

"Since Brother Zong Yuan is determined to protect Bai Wuji, but doesn't want this matter to get too big and come before Master Li Yang, then it can only be resolved between the two of us, and that's it." Song Changning said.

Gu Zongyuan: "What you mean is..."

Song Changning's eyes suddenly burst into a gleam of light, and he showed a bellicosity, saying: "Brother Zong Yuan and I are regarded by many cultivators in Liyang Immortal City as two equally famous foundation-building cultivators, and we hope to succeed in forming a pill in the future. But as to who is stronger and who is weaker, and who is better, there has been no real conclusion. How about today, using Bai Wuji as an excuse, we two have a fight, and let everyone see who is the number one foundation-building cultivator in Liyang Immortal City? If I lose, and am not as good as Brother Zong Yuan, then this matter ends here. Neither the Song family nor Senior Blood Crow will bother Bai Wuji again. If I win by chance, then Bai Wuji will be handed over to us for disposal, how about it?"

Gu Zongyuan paused for a moment after hearing this, then burst into laughter, looking at the other party jokingly: "It seems that Brother Changning has been planning this for a long time, and has long wanted to compete with me, right? It just so happens that I have also had this intention for a long time, and want to learn from Brother Changning's high skills."

The request put forward by Song Changning was somewhat beyond Gu Zongyuan's expectations.

But he was not surprised but happy about it.

He looked down on Song Changning in his heart, so naturally he was not afraid of him!
Since Song Changning took the initiative to propose a duel, he certainly wanted it.

It is time to break the reputation of 'Li Yang's two heroes in building the foundation'.

He is the one and only one!

In the future, he will follow in his master's footsteps. Not only will he succeed in forming the elixir, but his goal will not just be like most of the real people who have formed the elixir, who are satisfied with the initial stage of forming the elixir and find it difficult to make any progress in their cultivation in the next few hundred years.

He wanted to practice step by step to the late stage of Jindan, and try to see the style of Yuanying Zhenjun!

Song Changning, how can he be compared with him?
Today, he will let the entire Liyang Immortal City, and even the entire Dayu Immortal Cultivation World, know his name, Gu Zongyuan!
His qualifications and potential are no less than the inheritors of the two major Nascent Soul sects. He has the strength to rival the Fake Dan cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage!

"In that case, let's change the venue. This Zuixian Tower is not suitable for fighting." Song Changning said.

Gu Zongyuan nodded and was about to stand up.

He already possesses the strength to rival that of a fake Dan Zhenren, but Song Changning is, after all, also a top-notch foundation-building cultivator, and his strength should not be underestimated.

I can take him down, but it will take some effort and I can't do it in this Zuixian Tower.

"How about we go to my Liyangwei camp? It's the best place for us to fight. Of course, if Brother Changning feels that going to Liyangwei is unfair to you, then we can go somewhere else. It's also fine to go outside the city." Gu Zongyuan said generously.

Song Changning agreed, "No problem, let's go to Liyangwei."

Although the two have always been fighting openly and secretly, today they brought the conflict to the surface.

But Song Changning was also very clear that the two of them must be fighting fair and openly today. Even if they went to Liyang Guard, Gu Zongyuan would not dare to use any unfair tricks.

If he really used it, even if Gu Zongyuan defeated him, he would definitely be ruined.

Just when Gu Zongyuan was about to stand up.

Xiao Changqing, who had been watching the two 'big guys' talking and fighting secretly, stood up and said, "Commander Gu, since this matter was caused by me, the target that the Song family and Blood Crow Master want to trouble is also me. Then why should I bother you to take action? Since Fellow Daoist Song wants to fight, then I will do it. I will meet Fellow Daoist Song."

Gu Zongyuan was stunned. He didn't expect Xiao Changqing to stand up at this time. He quickly said in a deep voice: "Captain Bai, don't think too much. Brother Changning seems to want to cause trouble for you, but in fact, he has wanted to compete with me for a long time. You don't need to intervene in this matter. Moreover, Brother Changning's strength is indeed not to be underestimated. You are no match for him."

In Gu Zongyuan's opinion, Xiao Changqing has a secret. He might be stronger than outsiders guess. Not only is he comparable to the late stage of foundation building, he may also possess the strength of perfect foundation building!
But there is also a gap between building a perfect foundation!
The power of magic, the practice of secret techniques, the level of magic weapons, the number of talismans and other treasures will all have a great impact on one's strength.

Therefore, some who have completed their foundation building can compete with the fake pill real person, while others will be killed instantly by the fake pill real person.

Gu Zongyuan looked down on Song Changning, but he still believed that Song Changning's strength was definitely not comparable to that of Xiao Changqing.

Xiao Changqing seemed not to understand and continued, "It's okay. If I really am no match for this Fellow Daoist Song, then I will be defeated and Commander Gu can take over."

Song Changning's eyes flashed with surprise when he heard this.

I thought to myself, this Bai Wuji is really as arrogant as the investigation showed. Does he think that Li Yang Xian City is just like the small market where he lived before, and he can be the king and dominate the world?

He immediately interrupted the conversation: "Brother Zong Yuan, since this Bai Wuji is so confident and wants to fight with me, then it's naturally the best. You shouldn't stop him, right? The previous captains of the Liyang Guards were all top-notch players in the Foundation Establishment Realm, and I'm not sure of winning. Since this Bai Wuji was recruited by you, Brother Zong Yuan, he must be extraordinary."

Xiao Changqing said with a smile: "I don't have many extraordinary qualities, except that my spiritual attainments are pretty good. Fellow Daoist Song should have investigated this point and is very clear about it, right?"

Song Changning nodded and smiled, "Yes. I have investigated and it is very clear. My spiritual attainments are very ordinary, and I may not be a match for this fellow Daoist Bai! When the time comes, I will naturally not have the face to fight with you, Brother Zong Yuan, and don't mention the 'Li Yang Foundation Building Twins' anymore..."

Song Changning was very happy, and seemed to like Xiao Changqing a little more, and even called him "Hundred Taoist Friends".

Gu Zongyuan's face was not looking good, and he whispered to Xiao Changqing: "Captain Bai, you should regret it! Song Changning is not someone you can contend with! If we really fight, I'm afraid your life will be in danger! Don't believe that Song Changning is weak in spirit and soul. He can cultivate to the perfection of foundation building and has the hope of reaching the Jindan realm. How can his spirit and soul be weak?"

Xiao Changqing replied: "Commander Gu, please believe me. I am definitely not a reckless man. Since I dare to stand up, it means I am sure of it. Would I die?"

At this time, Song Changning spoke again with deep meaning: "However, the battle between the souls is extremely dangerous and it is easy to misjudge the degree. If you are not careful and use too much force, you may lose your life..."

Xiao Changqing said without hesitation: "If you lose your life, it's just bad luck. No one on either side can cause trouble afterwards!"

"Okay!" Song Changning shouted immediately, his eyes shining with brilliance as he said, "That's exactly what I meant!"

Then, without waiting for Gu Zongyuan to raise any objections, he immediately used his magic power to spread his voice so that all the guests in Zuixianlou could hear: "Today, I, Song Changning, will fight with Bai Wuji and sign a life-and-death agreement! If anyone loses his life, it will be his own fault and he cannot blame others!"
