"Yes, yes," the confidant said hurriedly: "Young Master has unparalleled ingenuity. How can a mere sword become a stumbling block for you?"

There was a proud look on Wei Ziang's face, full of uncontrollable joy. However, at this moment, his expression suddenly changed because he saw the great elder Yuan Zhixiang appearing in the courtyard at some unknown time.

The breeze is blowing,

Yuan Zhixiang stood in the middle of the courtyard, without any sound or breath, just like a ghost, staring at Wei Ziang quietly.

Wei Ziang's face froze and he felt uneasy. He regretted what he just said. He shouldn't have said such words at this time. He was not sure when Yuan Zhixiang came and whether he heard what he said.

If he heard what he said and knew that Jian Yi was possessed by Nangong Weiyang because of his own planning, then he would be in trouble.

For a moment, with thoughts swirling in his mind, Wei Ziang remained calm on the surface, cupping his hands towards Yuan Zhixiang and saying, "Great Elder."

Yuan Zhixiang nodded slightly, walked over step by step, looked at Wei Ziang's confidants, and suddenly snorted coldly,

The next moment,

Those confidants all stiffened up and looked panicked.

"Peng" "Peng" "Peng..."

Several explosions were heard, and Wei Ziang's confidants didn't even have time to make a sound before they exploded into blood mist. The next moment, they turned into balls of flames, and burned to ashes in an instant.

Wei Ziang's face instantly turned pale,

He knew that things were exposed.

He looked at Yuan Zhixiang with a look of horror in his eyes, and stammered: "Great... Great Elder... I... I..."

Yuan Zhixiang waved his hand and said: "A true superior, in addition to pretending, being ruthless and looking at the overall situation, should also have a strong mentality, to be able to face a mountain collapse without changing his face, and to fight with swords and axes.

You are still far from being meticulous, Zi Ang."

Wei Ziang's face was stiff and confused.

Yuan Zhixiang said slowly: "However, in general, you are still very smart. You have always disguised yourself as a person who is a little scheming but not very sophisticated. On the surface, you are like a child who is unconvinced and targets Jian Yi.

, all kinds of obstacles for him,

Your disguise was very successful. Almost everyone was fooled by you and thought you were just a little jealous. It was harmless. Even if something happened to Jian Yizhen, you would be the first to be removed from suspicion.

.”

Wei Ziang shrank and said sarcastically: "Great Elder, disciple... I don't understand what you are talking about, I... I just don't accept Jian Yi, and I feel unhappy... But that's all..."

Yuan Zhixiang waved his hand and said: "It's okay to say this to others, but it's not necessary for me. If I hadn't known the truth a long time ago, why would I come to you today to help you clean up the traces you left?

, but should be at Qianyumen."

Wei Ziang's face changed drastically and he asked in surprise: "What... do you mean by this?"

Yuan Zhixiang raised his head and looked in the direction of Qianyu Gate, sighed slightly, and said, "Zi'ang, how wonderful would it be if you were the one with the clear heart of the sword?"

Wei Ziang was very confused and said: "Great Elder, this disciple doesn't understand."

Yuan Zhixiang looked at Wei Ziang and said slowly: "You are very smart, ambitious, and know how to be forbearing. Your methods are good and your heart is not bad. However, our Sword King City has another Jianyi. He is not as good as you in all aspects. He only has martial arts talent."

, it’s really amazing,

At this point, all your advantages are gone in front of him. If you faced him, if it were in the past, we would choose Jianyi without any hesitation. Even your grandfather would choose Jianyi, because Jianyi

If you can continue the glory, preservation and inheritance of Sword King City, you will never be able to compare with him."

Wei Ziang said nothing,

Although he felt unhappy, he had to admit that he was also extremely talented in martial arts, but he was really out of step with Jian Yi.

Yuan Zhixiang added: "It is your misfortune and luck that you were born in this era. Unfortunately, you met the amazingly talented Jian Yi. Fortunately, this era is different from the past. We choose

about you."

Wei Ziang said in confusion: "Please give me a clear explanation from the Great Elder!"

Yuan Zhixiang chuckled and said: "You are actually quite good. Jianyi is uniquely endowed. In the Sword King City, it is impossible for anyone to challenge his status, but you have found his fatal flaw, and that is Nangong Weiyang.

Jian Yi's martial arts is very special. He has always been in a state of detachment and is difficult to be influenced by the outside world. His firm will is rare in the world. This is his advantage and also his fatal flaw. He walks in light and darkness.

One thought can lead to the right path, and one thought can lead to the evil path.

Nangong Weiyang is the only flaw in the world that can make him become a demon. You have grasped it. You know that there is no way to shake Jianyi's position from the inside of Sword King City, so you choose to attack it from the outside.

Qian Yu Clan, where Nangong Weiyang lives, is naturally the best choice. You have grasped Lian Nanfeng's ambitions and his dissatisfaction with Chen Xuannong, and instigated internal strife within the Qian Fe Clan. This strategy is very good, but you have been pretending to be an ill-minded person.

You are bad but have a calculating look, and you have successfully paralyzed everyone, making it difficult for anyone to notice your little tricks."

Wei Ziang said sarcastically: "But, shouldn't we let the Great Elder find out?"

Yuan Zhixiang shook his head and said, "I actually didn't discover it. It was just because I was planning to do the same thing as you that I discovered the clue."

Wei Ziang was surprised and said: "Great Elder, you also want to deal with Jian Yi? Why?"

Yuan Zhixiang pondered for a while and said: "Because in this era of Sword King City, Jian Yi cannot be allowed to be the leader. This is my intention and your grandfather's intention as well.

You are still a bit immature after all, haven’t you ever thought that your instigating internal strife in the Qianyu Sect would go too smoothly?”

"I had doubts." Wei Zi'ang said: "I used marrying Lian Nanfeng's daughter as a breakthrough opportunity to reach a cooperation with Lian Nanfeng, so that he could kill Chen Xuannong and control the Qianyu Sect. He agreed a little too happily.

I had doubts at the time, but everything Lian Nanfeng did afterwards was in line with the plan I made. Step by step, he eroded Chen Xuannong's power, and step by step, Chen Xuannong completely gave up his doubts about him. These things were all

No problem, I can’t find any reason to doubt Lian Nanfeng.”

"That's right," Yuan Zhixiang chuckled: "After all, things are going according to your plan, and even if there are doubts, they will be dispelled step by step."

Wei Ziang asked: "Then, at what point did the Great Elder enter the game?"

"Be one step ahead of you," Yuan Zhixiang said: "When you were going to marry Lian Nanfeng's daughter, your grandfather and I had already guessed your plan. However, it happened to be in line with our plan, so we followed your plan.

I was pushed to do it.”

Wei Ziang suddenly said: "No wonder every step goes so smoothly. It turns out that you and grandpa are helping me from behind."

Yuan Zhixiang nodded and said: "Otherwise, do you think Lian Nanfeng can agree to cooperate with you so easily? Without Jian Yi, you would still have enough weight as the chief disciple of Sword King City. However, with Jian Yi, simply relying on

With your weight, it is difficult for Lian Nanfeng to make such a big decision.

He would agree because your grandfather and I secretly agreed to support him as the head of the Qianyu Sect. In addition, although Chen Xuannong is mediocre, he is still a top master. If your grandfather and I hadn't secretly taken action, Lian Nanfeng would have

How come you have the chance, and how dare you really attack him?"

Wei Ziang was stunned for a while and said: "I... am indeed immature, but I don't understand that Jian Yi is the next head teacher appointed by the old Heavenly Master, and his talent is indeed impeccable. I

I want to destroy him because he blocks my way, but Great Elder, why do you and grandpa want to destroy him?"

Yuan Zhixiang took a deep breath and said: "If it weren't for Sword King City, how could your grandfather and I do such stupid things? This is tantamount to killing the goose to take the egg. However, the next generation of headmaster must not be Jianyi!

"

"Why?" Wei Ziang was confused.

Yuan Zhixiang said in a deep voice: "The era of great chaos is approaching, but the old Heavenly Master only wants to preserve the tradition of Sword King City. However, in the era of chaos, how can we guarantee the inheritance.

This is no better than before. In the past, if there was a leader like Jianyi, he could definitely guarantee that Sword King City would still be the number one sect in Yunzhou, transcendent. But now, troubled times are coming, heroes are about to rise, and the curtain of the great waves has been opened. This kind of

In the times, if you don’t advance, you will retreat. It is impossible to watch from the other side. Everyone will be pulled into the chess game and become a party to the game.

Let’s not talk about it far away, let’s talk about Yunzhou. The devil seems to be suppressed by the righteous way, but in fact, after these years of cultivation, the devil has long been restored. Moreover, Ye Zhaonan of the Moon Worship Sect is now the hero, bent on destroying the world.

Unify the magic way.

We were able to win the battle of Mingyue Gorge so easily. Do you really think it’s because the Demonic Way is weak? In fact, it’s not like that. It’s because Ye Zhaonan intentionally caused the Demonic Way to suffer a crisis to help him unify the Demonic Way more easily.

The battle in Mingyue Gorge was just that several forces needed it. Although they needed different things, the result was the same, so the battle started smoothly and the result was smooth and simple."

Wei Ziang narrowed his eyes slightly,

If Yuan Zhixiang hadn't said it today, he would never have thought that in the battle of Mingyue Gorge, the morale of the righteous path soared and the demonic path suffered a disastrous defeat, which was actually a result that both sides needed.

Yuan Zhixiang continued: "In addition, the White Lotus Sect in the north has become a climate. Regardless of whether it will be suppressed in the end, the White Lotus Sect will be able to take root in Yunzhou, and over in Yundong, the Qintian Prison cannot sit idly by.

Regardless, he is definitely eyeing Yunxi.

And in our land of Yunxi, without the constraints of the Qingxia Covenant, the hatred suppressed by various internal forces for many years will inevitably break out, and it will definitely be another melee.

But now the imperial court is declining, and it is unable to completely suppress the land of Kyushu. The signs of chaos in the world have also shown signs. Under such circumstances, how can Sword King City stay out of the matter? How can it stay out of the matter?

In troubled times, if you don't advance, you will retreat. If Sword King City wants to maintain its glory, it must not stick to one corner. Otherwise, it will have to wait to be surrounded by wolves. The world is in chaos, and even the three gates cannot stay away.

Not to mention our Sword King City? In this era, you will either end up being a wolf or become the meat in the wolf's mouth. There is no third option."

Wei Ziang narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "So, the reason why you and grandpa chose me is because I am ambitious. I can lead Sword King City and end up as a wolf?"

Yuan Zhixiang muttered: "Not really."

Wei Ziang asked in confusion: "Then why?"

Yuan Zhixiang said: "Although you have good abilities, you really don't have the ability to lead Sword King City to fight in this troubled world. The reason why I chose you is just because you happened to come together."

Wei Ziang: "???"

Yuan Zhixiang said slowly: "Actually, for Jian Wangcheng, it doesn't matter who this person is. The only one who can't do it is Jian Yi, because he was appointed by the old Heavenly Master."

Wei Ziang frowned and said: "Why? Great Elder, you don't have any thoughts about the old Heavenly Master, do you? Don't do stupid things. The old Heavenly Master is the Dinghai Shenzhen of our Sword King City. No one in Sword King City can have it, but absolutely

We cannot live without the Heavenly Master,
