Xiuxian: I have an inventory

The undercurrents in Liyang Fairy City continued for another half a year. The Avengers had begun to secretly sow discord among the various forces in the city, ambushing the Liyang Guards and the City Lord's Mansion...

Finally, the storm reached its climax.

Wei Wufeng, the former young master of the Wei family, a Jindan family, and now the person in charge of the Dandao League in the Dayu immortal cultivation world, and a Jindan middle-stage immortal, has officially launched a challenge to Li Yang!

It was agreed that they would have a duel half a month later.

Of course, you can just ignore this challenge and pretend you didn’t see it.

If the former Master Li Yang had done this, no one in the Dayu Immortal Cultivation World would have said anything.

Because in the eyes of outsiders, although Wei Wufeng is the head of the Dandao League and has a very unusual identity, even the two major Nascent Soul sects in the Dayu immortal cultivation world do not dare to touch him easily and have to give him some face.

However, in terms of cultivation, strength, and combat record, there is a huge gap between Wei Wufeng and Master Li Yang, one could even say that there is a world of difference between them.

No one would think that Wei Wufeng is a match for Master Li Yang, and no one would think that he is really qualified to challenge Master Li Yang.

It was only natural that Master Li Yang ignored him and was too lazy to accept the challenge.

But the situation is different now. Master Li Yang is seriously injured and his combat ability remains a mystery. Rumor has it that he no longer has the strength of the late Jindan stage and may not be Wei Wufeng's opponent.

If he did not accept the challenge at this time, it would be tantamount to confirming the rumors that he was indeed not as strong as before.

People would not think that he was unwilling to fight with Wei Wufeng, but would only think that he was guilty and afraid of showing weakness.

As this happens, the turmoil in Liyang Immortal City will inevitably become even worse. The enemies of Liyang Zhenren and the people behind the scenes who covet the huge piece of fat meat of the Immortal City will inevitably use more drastic means and are very likely to directly launch a formal attack!
When Wei Wufeng's declaration of war was delivered to Li Yang Immortal City, almost all the cultivators in the city, from the Jindan True Man to the Qi Refining Individual Cultivator, were discussing and speculating whether True Man Li Yang would accept the challenge.

finally.

True Man Li Yang did not disappoint people. On the same day, news was announced from the City Lord's Mansion that he had accepted Wei Wufeng's challenge letter.

……

"Master, are we going to watch the battle in half a month?" Lin Zixi asked excitedly.

Wei Wufeng openly challenged Master Li Yang, so naturally they would not hide their fight from each other, allowing everyone to watch.

In this battle, Wei Wufeng's purpose was to test the true strength of Master Li Yang and see how much strength he actually had.

He is not sure of victory either.

If he won directly, that would be even better. He would probably take revenge on the spot, and then the avengers behind him would directly swallow up Li Yang Fairy City.

As for losing, it doesn't matter. He is confident that he can destroy the "golden body" of Li Yangxianren, the number one independent cultivator in the Dayu immortal world, expose his powerful appearance and his weak side in front of everyone.

As long as we can detect that the current Li Yang Zhenren is just a facade, many things will be much easier to handle.

"Want to go and see?" Xiao Changqing glanced at Lin Zixi.

Lin Zixi nodded quickly and giggled, not hiding her desire to join in the fun.

This is a battle of wits at the Jindan level, and this is not an ordinary Jindan level cultivator.

One is the number one independent cultivator, and the other is the head of a branch of the Alchemy Alliance. No matter which one of them is, they are big figures who can cause quite a stir in the entire Dayu cultivation world with just a stomp of their feet.

Normally, let alone seeing them fighting in person, even seeing them from a distance is impossible.

"Then go and have a look at it then."

Xiao Changqing narrowed his eyes slightly and spoke with a hint of anticipation.

But his ideas are different from Lin Zixi's.

When his strength reached his current level, he was no longer so curious about Master Li Yang, the most famous and famous independent cultivator in the world of immortal cultivation in Dayu, and basically no longer had the mentality of 'looking up to' him.

If he were to say curious, he would be more curious about Wei Wufeng!
This person who is in charge of the Dandao League in the Dayu Immortal Cultivation World will have to deal with the other party in the future if nothing unexpected happens.

After all, his 'Ningzhen Pill' is still in the other party's hands!
After he has completed his foundation building and is ready to form the elixir, he will have to go to the Alchemy Alliance to get the elixir first.

It would be great if you could get to know a little bit about the person in charge in advance and get familiar with him.

However, this time he planned to watch the battle. The most important reason was that he wanted to see how strong the cultivators above the middle stage of Jindan were, how powerful their methods and magical powers were, and whether there was any gap between himself and them.

If there is a gap, how big is it?

Be clear about it in your mind.

"Master, do you think Wei Wufeng can defeat Li Yang Zhenren?"

Lin Zixi couldn't help but say, "I hope that Master Li Yang can still show his strength as the number one independent cultivator in Dayu Immortal Cultivation World and severely defeat the invading Wei Wufeng. The Dan Dao League is too far away for us and we can't contact them at all. It won't be any good for us if Wei Wufeng wins. But if Master Li Yang loses, then it won't be long before the Li Yang Immortal City has to change its owner, right?"

"I quite like Liyang Immortal City. In the Great Yu Immortal Cultivation World, there is no other large immortal city like this one that is so rule-abiding and extremely friendly to independent cultivators."

Xiao Changqing smiled and said, "Your ideas are quite clear."

Lin Zixi asked: "Master, don't you want Li Yang Zhenren to win?"

"Have you forgotten that I am the deputy commander of the Liyang Guard?" Xiao Changqing shook his head and said, "Of course I also hope that Master Liyang can win and that Liyang Immortal City will be safe."

It didn’t matter to him who the person in charge of the Dandao League was. He had the token of his master Zhu Youlong anyway, so he could exchange it for the Ningzhen Pill when the time came.

But if the owner of Liyang Fairy City changed, it would not be dangerous for him, but there would always be some troubles.

……

More than half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

The battle between Master Li Yang and Wei Wufeng went on as scheduled.

The battle took place above a large lake not far from Yangxian City.

Xiao Changqing brought the Lin sisters to watch the battle from afar. Lin Ziyu also temporarily stopped his secluded practice in order to watch the battle between the top cultivators of Dayu's immortal world.

This fight didn't last long. The winner was decided in less than half an incense stick of time.

Wei Wufeng was very powerful and could be considered a leader in the middle stage of Jindan. His natal magic weapon and the magical skills he cultivated were both very impressive, but he still lost.

Apart from causing some trouble to Master Li Yang in the beginning, after Master Li Yang understood his strength, he was able to deal with it with ease. In the second half, he completely suppressed him and left him with almost no ability to fight back.

It can be called a 'big victory'.

At least that's what ordinary monks think.

For example, the sisters of the Lin family were quite excited when they saw this, thinking that he was indeed the number one independent cultivator in the Great Yu Immortal Cultivation World, a great cultivator in the late Jindan stage, far from being comparable to a cultivator in the middle Jindan stage. Even though Wei Wufeng now had the support of a big tree and abundant resources, he was still no match for him.

But people with a broad enough vision would find that Master Li Yang's situation was not very good.

Today, Master Li Yang seemed to have won overwhelmingly. The victory was not difficult and did not take long. However, this was actually completely inconsistent with his former peak strength!

If he had not been injured, he would still be the late Jindan True Man who was able to suppress the two major Yuanying sects and had great hope of becoming the third Yuanying True Lord in the Dayu Immortal Cultivation World. Today, Wei Wufeng would not even have the opportunity to demonstrate his offensive means!

This time, Master Li Yang's fighting skills seemed to be fine, and he did not reveal any flaws, but any cultivator with a high enough vision could find that he revealed a sense of "weakness" from beginning to end, and did not have enough confidence!

It's not that he doesn't want to "go all out", but he doesn't dare and has no way!
Even though he only mobilized magic power slightly stronger than Wei Wufeng's, he clearly felt the lack of stamina several times, and it felt like his magic power was unsustainable.

It is conceivable that if the one facing him today was a cultivator in the late Jindan stage, the one who would most likely be defeated would be Zhenren Li Yang himself!
“Although Li Yang Zhenren’s strength is not as low as the rumors outside, it is only about 30% or 40% of his peak period. Now, Li Yang Xiancheng is at risk of changing its owner.”

After watching the game, Xiao Changqing thought to himself.

He could see that Master Li Yang was strong on the outside but weak on the inside, and it was impossible for Wei Wufeng, who was fighting with Master Li Yang today, not to have felt it.

Although Wei Wufeng lost today, he seemed to be more confident.

If nothing unexpected happens, he will probably gather the enemies of Li Yang Immortal and formally launch an attack on Li Yang Immortal City.

Instead of being tentative like before, he just used some tricks in secret.

After returning to the city, most of the ordinary cultivators who had come back from watching the battle or hearing the results of the fight had excitement on their faces, and they were full of praise for Master Li Yang.

"I think the rumors are completely false! Someone with ulterior motives is spreading rumors! How was the city lord injured? He is still as charming as ever!"

"Little Wei Wufeng, how ridiculous! He dares to challenge the city lord? He is simply asking for trouble!"

'Today, the city lord was completely restraining his strength and did not really use his killing moves. Otherwise, it would not be so simple to win, and Wei Wufeng would probably die on the spot!'

"This Wei Wufeng is just relying on the Dan Dao League. If he didn't have the Dan Dao League's support, the city lord would have killed him today and sent him to reunite with his father in the underworld!"

Xiao Changqing couldn't help but shake his head as he listened to these discussions.

The Lin sisters originally had similar ideas to these ordinary cultivators, but the two careful girls noticed that their master's expression was not right. Combined with their understanding of Xiao Changqing, they couldn't help but feel a shock in their hearts.

"Master, how do you think Li Yang Zhenren performed in today's duel? Was it as we heard everyone talking about when we came back?"

Lin Zixi couldn't keep the truth secret, and after returning to the cave, he couldn't help but ask Xiao Changqing indirectly while massaging his shoulders and legs.

"From now on, you two sisters should practice more in seclusion and try not to go out as much as possible."

Xiao Changqing did not answer directly, but the meaning behind his words was already understood by the Lin sisters.

It seems that the situation is really not good!
Xiao Changqing closed his eyes and enjoyed the service of the two sisters, but what he was thinking in his heart was what he would do next if Li Yang Xian City really became chaotic and was besieged by many enemies.

First of all, I have to remind Manager Hong and Jiang Jiuyue to ask the Jiang family to be careful and low-key recently.

More than a year had passed since Jiang Canghai's unfortunate death on the battlefield in the southwest. Even though the news was delayed due to the long distance, it had already been passed back.

Jiang Canghai's revenge plan ultimately failed.

Although the Luoxia Sect's main gate was destroyed, most of the sect's disciples were killed or injured, and they fled to the other side of the Yunwu Mountains in a panic, the sect leader Lu Daoming survived.

Jiang Canghai failed to avenge himself and his fellow Taoist priests.

As for the Jiang family, with the death of the patriarch, the pillar of the family is gone. Logically, they would become like the former Song family and withdraw from the ranks of the top ten families.

But in the midst of grief, the Jiang family developed in the opposite direction and became increasingly powerful.

The head of the family is Jiang Jiuyue, who is in the middle stage of foundation building, assisted by Hong Jiantao, and there are several guest officials in the late stage of foundation building in the family.

The ranking also jumped from the bottom of the top ten families to the top few!

The reason, in addition to Xiao Changqing's order to give one-third of the Song family's assets to the Jiang family, the most important thing is that during this year, Liyangwei's commander Gu Zongyuan became the Jiang family's 'new backer'!
After the incident with True Man Blood Crow, the Liu family and Gu Zongyuan "broke up peacefully". If Gu Zongyuan wanted a stable source of income, he would definitely have to support another family.

Perhaps it was because of Xiao Changqing's face, or perhaps for other reasons, but Gu Zongyuan finally decided to cooperate after talking with Jiang Jiuyue and Hong Jiantao.

It doesn’t matter to Gu Zongyuan who he looks for; but for the Jiang family, it is definitely a great thing.

Gu Zongyuan's full support is much more reliable than Zuo Zichun, the previous backer of the Jiang family!
“The Jiang family doesn’t even have a fake pill cultivator. If Liyang Immortal City really gets into chaos, they are not qualified to get involved.”

"But do I want to get involved?"

Xiao Changqing was thinking in his mind.

His position as deputy commander of Liyang Guard was a completely nominal position, just a title.

He certainly wouldn't risk his life for Master Li Yang.

Stop talking about him.

Even many of the real members of the Liyang Guards and the guest officials of the City Lord's Mansion have been turned against the government over the past year!

Considering his friendship with Gu Zongyuan, Xiao Changqing will definitely not stab him in the back and will not join the camp of Wei Wufeng and others.

"As for asking me to help, it's not a question of feelings. It depends on whether there are conditions worthy of my help."

Xiao Changqing roughly determined the idea.

If Gu Zongyuan comes to him and wants his help in resisting Wei Wufeng and others, it is not impossible.

However, a struggle of this level involves the combat power of the middle and late stages of the Jindan realm, and even the shadows of two major Yuanying sects are behind it. Xiao Changqing will definitely not get involved easily.

There have to be conditions that make him excited!
After all, his relationship with Gu Zongyuan was okay, but he didn't owe him anything. On the contrary, in the matter of True Man Blood Crow, he was equivalent to saving Gu Zongyuan's life.

……

In a blink of an eye, more than ten days passed.

The troops gathered by Wei Wufeng had not yet officially launched an attack on Liyang Immortal City, but one thing happened that was beyond Xiao Changqing's expectations.

Among the disciples of Master Li Yang, some were breaking through to the Jindan realm at this time.

And it worked!

This person is Gu Zongyuan! (End of this chapter)
