Chapter 1049: The New Wuwang Pavilion
After Yu Wushi's death, the pressure from the outside world seemed to disappear all at once in the Wuwei Palace.
The leaders of various forces are very clear that if they think they can beat a top force whose overall strength has not weakened much at this time, they will only force the force to unite against the enemy and face a direct blow.
Therefore, everyone made another choice, which was to stir up internal power struggles.
Thus, the Five Adopted Sons Conference was born, where the five adopted sons voted to decide various major issues.
It is obvious that this model is only temporary. When one is only one step away from becoming the next King of Wuwei, no one is willing to share the power in his home with the other four, especially the first adopted son, Yu Canglan.
The second adopted son, Yu Gucheng, is a martial arts fanatic. The third adopted son, Yu Haitang, has always been hidden behind the scenes and is a woman. The fourth adopted son, Yu Yuanba, is a complete reckless man. As for the fifth adopted son, Ying Wuque.
For the entire Wuwei Palace, perhaps not many people really regard this guy who is suspected to be a jinx as the candidate to inherit the palace.
So judging from the apparent strength, Yu Canglan has the greatest hope, especially with the support of Xuanwu Tower. So how can he be willing to let the so-called Five Adopted Sons Conference continue to divide his power?
Therefore, Yu Canglan made a lot of preparations and began to actively win over people who could support his goals.
At the same time, his fourth brother Yu Yuanba, who he had always regarded as a reckless man, also stood up to challenge him head-on because of his undisguised greed for power.
Although Yu Yuanba does not look very smart, and even the reason why he became Yu Canglan's first target was Yu Haitang's secret planning, but in fact his reputation in the military is much higher than other adopted sons.
And this shortcoming of not being very smart can also be considered an advantage for him as the heir to the royal palace.
Therefore, in a short period of time, after Yu Yuanba gained the support of some military personnel, he was able to compete with Yu Canglan.
Yu Haitang, who had been ignored by Yu Canglan, also overtook others through other tracks. First, he received strong support from Yi Yan Yuxin, who ranked second in Wuwang Pavilion, and then Qinglong Pavilion came all the way to join him.
This made Yu Canglan feel a heavy pressure.
Especially this time, supporting the South in fighting the rat tide should have been a tough job. In their expectation, the relationship between Wuwei Palace and Wangyou Ghost Market was full of mutual hostility. Even if the Palace went to help, it could not avoid some contempt and secret targeting.
As a result, Yu Haitang became quite famous following the news reports of the ghost market.
And thinking that Yu Haitang could take advantage of this rat tide war to intervene in the eight major military forces through the Lei Army, he felt more and more that volunteering to go to the south to fight against the rat tide was the most correct choice.
But it's too late now, and it's obviously unrealistic to share the credit.
Therefore, Yu Canglan decided to take advantage of the fact that the other party was not in Wuwei Palace and sent a signal to poach Gongzi Yu, the leader of Qinglong Pavilion whom he had just recruited.
But after a banquet, the results were not as smooth as expected.
"It really doesn't work." After Yu Canglan waved his hand to dismiss the servants, he looked at the owner of Xuanwu Tower, Jellyfish Yin Ji.
He had thought that as both were leaders of the Four Symbols of the Star Alliance, there should be some old friendship between the two. However, Jellyfish Yin Ji said nothing and had a cold face the whole time. If Gongzi Yu was not good at socializing, it would be normal for someone with a bad temper to just turn up his nose and leave on the spot.
“The problem is not with me.” Jellyfish Yin Ji glanced at the other party and knew who the complaint in Yu Canglan’s words was directed at, “With the power in your hands now, you can only satisfy one family, unless you become the real King of Wuwei.
So this banquet was useless.”
Yu Canglan sighed. He also understood this logic, but how would he know if it would work if he didn’t try.
Moreover, as one of the few forces in the Shanhai Realm that are still labeled as evil, neither Jellyfish Yin Ji nor Gongzi Yu would probably have any so-called loyalty. Therefore, Yu Canglan only hopes that the other party can respond to the signal he gives.
Then, at the right time, he would become a fence-sitter, which he considered an important victory.
But I didn't expect that Gongzi Yu was more principled than I originally thought.
Although his attitude was good throughout the process, every time when it came to testing, his response was very firm and left no room for maneuver.
"I still underestimated my third sister."
Then Yu Canglan looked at another pale man in the hall. His features were handsome and prominent, but they seemed to be sculpted from ice and snow on distant mountains. Even though he was attending the banquet, he was still holding a pitch-black knife tightly in his hand.
"Geng, this Gongzi Yu should be your destined opponent."
After most of the staff of Wuwang Pavilion died, they made some supplements, and the ranking also changed. For example, Jellyfish Yin Ji has become the new third place, Bing, and Ximen Chuxue has also risen to the fourth place, Ding.
The Joyful Female Bodhisattva, who is currently fighting the rat tide in the south with Yu Haitang, has been promoted to the fifth position, Wu.
And now, this man who dropped in seventh place, Geng, was a strong man whom Yu Canglan successfully recruited by an unexpected coincidence.
Just looking at the attitude revealed by Yu Canglan when he spoke, he paid more attention to this man than to Jellyfish Yin Ji who had Xuanwu Tower as his background.
After Geng heard Yu Canglan talking to him, he said in a deep voice:
"He is my destined opponent, but not my enemy who must fight me to the death. Besides, I am far inferior to him now."
"You are the destined protagonist, and you will surpass him sooner or later." Yu Canglan's encouragement was full of expectations.
After all, the current fateful body protagonists are still very rare compared to the various garbage fateful bodies that are everywhere on the streets, and what is more important is that as a protagonist, his character is trustworthy, and at least the ability to repay a favor is a must.
This also means that Yu Canglan’s investment in it will not be wasted.
At this moment, Jellyfish Yin Ji suddenly said:
"Fu Hongxue, regarding the test of Wuwang Pavilion, are you sure your perception is correct?"
The seventh in the Wuwang Pavilion, 'Geng', that is, Fu Hongxue, raised his head. His eyes were particularly dark and bright against the backdrop of his pale face.
"Yes, her aura is comparable to mine."
[Fu Hongxue is the protagonist in Gu Long's "The Prodigal Son of Border Town" and "The Swordsman in the End of the World".
He was an orphan without a father or a mother. Because Bai Tianyu's wife was jealous of Hua Baifeng for giving birth to a son for her husband, she switched the child of another person (Fu Hongxue) with Hua Baifeng's son (Ye Kai). Hua Baifeng mistook the child for her biological son and raised him carefully for more than ten years.
The sword skills he learned came from the secret book of the magic sword of "the invincible magic sword" Bai Tianyu, and he also knows one of the moves of "The Great Compassion Fu of Yin and Yang of Heaven and Earth".
Fu Hongxue has night vision, a photographic memory, the ability to detoxify, and is proficient in poisoning and assassination. Although he is lame in his right leg, he can perform martial arts as well as ordinary people. He also suffers from epilepsy.
In "Tianya·Mingyue·Dao", Fu Hongxue is known as the undefeated sword god. He interprets the tenacity in life with an unyielding will.
As an outsider master, if he wants to join the Wuwang Pavilion, even with Yu Canglan's recommendation, he still needs the consent of Jia Yuhuanglian, who is now the temporary head of the Wuwang Pavilion, especially such a strong man who is directly ranked among the ten heavenly stems.
Therefore, Yu Huanglian gave her a test, asking her to fight with Gui, who is now the last of the ten heavenly stems. The other party was naturally present as a witness. As a result, under the pressure of Fu Hongxue's sharp sword intent that could destroy everything, Yu Huanglian revealed a trace of her breath.
This matter was also an important point of doubt, and after Fu Hongxue passed the test, he directly told Yu Canglan.
During this period, Yu Canglan not only focused on poaching people and winning over the military, but also tried to trip up Yu Huanglian in both open and covert ways. After more than a dozen attempts, he even unexpectedly discovered that this mysterious A seemed to have some unclear relationship with the military.
This is a little strange.
As the temporary leader of Wuwang Pavilion, his identity can be referenced from Daxuan's Worship Hall. His contact with the military is a bit over the line.
If the opponent's strength is really worthy of the title of "A", then Yu Canglan would not provoke a Dharma Realm expert for no reason. However, according to Fu Hongxue, the opponent may just be good at concealing his own realm, and his actual combat power is only in the middle of the Celestial Realm.
Then don't blame him for bullying the weak.
The reason why Jellyfish Yin Ji brought up this topic was naturally because it was related to the resource allocation of Wuwang Pavilion. After the arrival of the alien from outer space, both Yue Chizong and Bai Zishu had increased their investment in it.
This also makes the status of Wuwang Pavilion even more transcendent.
"Now that Yan Yuxin is not here, as the third C, I am qualified to challenge the mysterious A." Jellyfish Yin Ji looked at Yu Canglan. Naturally, the other party's help is indispensable.
"Even if you defeat her now, you won't be able to become the leader of Wuwang Pavilion. You'd better wait a little longer. At least let me figure out who she is. After all, it was my adoptive father who pushed her to become A."
Yu Canglan obviously considered more, especially some suspicious behavior of Yu Huanglian that he had recently noticed.
Although he didn't directly guess his true identity, he still suspected that it was a backup plan set up by his deep-minded adoptive father.
Then Fu Hongxue and Jellyfish Yin Ji left Yu Canglan's mansion one after another.
The latter went straight to the Xuanwu Building’s headquarters. Although Yu Canglan asked her to wait, it was impossible for her to do nothing. In order to ensure that everything was foolproof, she would definitely make some small moves against Yu Huanglian.
Fu Hongxue walked around for a while and finally entered a house.
Gongzi Yu, whom I just met at the banquet, was waiting inside.
"What's going on? Do you want to intensify your efforts to recruit me?" Gongzi Yu's question clearly showed that the relationship between the two was not unfamiliar.
"No, the target has become A." Fu Hongxue said lightly.
"The news just sent by Lord Jia also makes us pay some attention to her, but why did Yu Canglan suddenly turn his attention to her?" After thinking for a while, Gongzi Yu looked up at Fu Hongxue.
When Fu Hongxue heard the word "Master", a trace of fluctuation appeared in his originally cold eyes, and then he replied softly:
"The trigger she had me planted exploded."
"Just because you told them that you found Jia's strength unworthy of the head of Wuwang Pavilion?"
"Well, Yu Canglan has been a little upset recently, otherwise he wouldn't have been so impatient to conduct wave after wave of tests just because of my lie."
The claim that he realized Yu Huanglian’s fighting power was similar to his was a lie.
Since Yu Huanglian had been able to conceal her strength for such a long time, it was impossible for her to show weakness in the face of Fu Hongxue, who was in the middle stage of the Tianxiang realm. It was just that Fu Hongxue might just look like a cold and honest person who spoke little.
Or perhaps it was because Yu Huanglian had never publicly demonstrated her fighting ability from the beginning to the end.
So Yu Canglan believed it very quickly, and his recent step-by-step tests against Yu Huanglian made him discover something wrong with the other party.
This was also why he came up with the idea of taking over the entire Wuwang Pavilion.
"Is that so?" Gongzi Yu thought for a moment and said, "I will inform the master of the relevant matters. You should continue to do your job as Geng as before. Since Yu Canglan has made up his mind, don't rush to increase the stakes. This may expose yourself.
After all, whether it is your destined body's original owner or the personality you reveal in front of it, at this stage you should focus more on improving your strength."
Fu Hongxue nodded and left without saying a word.
-
On the other side, Hua Lianxing, who was in the wasteland desert, also received the news.
Two copies in total.
The first one was sent by Gongzi Yu, and the second one was sent by Fu Hongxue.
The former thought that the reason why the latter was able to join Hua Lianxing's army was that he found the other party's position by relying on the bond between their fateful bodies, and then promised him huge benefits, especially the complete "The Great Compassionate Ode to the Conquest of Yin and Yang between Heaven and Earth" as a reward, to make this martial arts fanatic bow his head.
Therefore, in Gongzi Yu's view, Fu Hongxue's superior is himself first, then Hua Lianxing, and he is the key to controlling Fu Hongxue, just like in the original novel, treating him as a chess piece to be driven at will.
In fact, the latter had become one of the masters privately recruited by Hua Lianxing as early as the time when Hua Lianxing was the number one manor in the world. He cured his lameness and the sudden epilepsy after his fateful body awakened.
Therefore, among the information sent by Fu Hongxue, there is also some information about Gongzi Yu.
Hua Lianxing had never let down her guard against this restless Qinglong Pavilion Master. The reason why she did not bring him along on this trip to the wasteland and desert was because the newly established Qinglong Pavilion needed him to be in charge.
There was also Gongzi Yu's initiative to volunteer. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that during this critical period of time, Hua Lianxing's departure from Beixuanzhou Prefecture would definitely leave some hidden dangers, so a master with both outstanding strength and wisdom was needed to fight with the eldest son.
At present, from two pieces of information, Hua Lianxing knows that everything is still stable.
And because he went to the south, he took the opportunity to escape from that quagmire.
It's just a question about Yu Huanglian
She didn't expect that just by asking Fu Hongxue to tell a little lie, the small seed that was quietly planted would begin to take root and sprout and grow rapidly in such a short time.
Hua Lianxing then left the tent and looked at the moonlit night sky. Calculating the time, in a few hours it would be the important moment for the Great Xuan Cavalry to launch the Western Expedition.
The monthly ticket in March was 571, plus the 84 in March, totaling 655. I paid back two chapters of monthly tickets and updated the chapters this month, and I got three more chapters of monthly tickets and updated the chapters. With this calculation, I owe one more chapter. There are eleven chapters in total now. It's really exciting.
