Chapter 460

Xue Yan's Way of Survival

The key to life is to choose again and again.

The right choice can make a person soar into the sky and be out of control from then on, while the wrong choice can lead a person to the abyss of despair.

For Xue Yan, there is no right or wrong choice.

In the eyes of the Jianghu people and the major forces, the battle of the beast tide was an important turning point for Qin Fan to emerge from the abyss, and that victory established his reputation as a powerful player in Kyushu.

Afterwards, the Wangyou Ghost City can be established, and it will become the Ghost Venerable alongside that East and West.

One of the key points is also because the good reputation accumulated in the beast tide war and the super combat power shown have given the participants enough confidence.

Before the Beast Tide War, he was just a small village owner that not many people knew about.

If there are reborn people in this world, when they know that their abilities are insufficient, there is a high probability that they will hug Qin Fan's thigh before he gets up.

Judging from Xue Yan's experience, he had this opportunity, but when the important turning point came, he made a wrong choice in the eyes of many people.

Standing on the side of Sima Kongming, completely opposite to Qin Fan.

But he has never regretted it, because in getting along with Qin Fan, he has already found that the other party is aware of his ambition that he will never be willing to be inferior to others.

Just like Ying Wuque's cognitive concept of emotion is zero, Xue Yan has no loyalty in his heart from the beginning to the end.

So he knew that even if he threw himself at Qin Fan, the other party would never use him, but from Sima Kongming's hands, he got a book of exercises that could make up for the gap in his fundamental aptitude - "Star Absorbing Dafa"!
Afterwards, with the help of the chaotic period in the Xuanyang domain, he secretly used the star-absorbing method to plunder the skills of many masters!

Among them are casual cultivators who were attracted by the rumors of Wuyou Villa, dog lickers who came to investigate the truth for Mo Yunlan, and righteous men who were preparing to participate in the beast tide war
Xue Yan can't even remember how many people's skills he took advantage of this opportunity to absorb, but during that time he successfully passed the dangerous period of re-cultivation of Sangong, and surpassed the original initial stage of Tongmai state in one fell swoop, and went straight to the state of Tongmai Dzogchen.

Now his strength has reached the mid-innate realm.

Although the fusion of true qi is slow, the internal organs are cut like a knife when forced to use, and the true qi backlash often occurs. Every night, he has to endure the pain like countless little ants biting the meridians.

But it was all worth it to him.

Originally, he thought that he could continue hiding under the big tree of Sima Kongming to accumulate strength silently, but some recent news made him feel more and more uneasy.

As Sima Kongming's confidant, he knew that Ying Tianhong had died in the battle of Wandu Palace, and that Ying Wuque's life was saved because of his early return, and he had worshiped Sima Kongming as his adoptive father.

And take the position of the head of the casting knife hall as the head of the young hall, completely obey Sima Kongming's order, and start to arrange the Qianlong list to kill the game.

There is nothing strange about this matter, and the choice of Yu Qing Yu Li also fits the current situation.

But Xue Yan felt something was wrong.

There were many doubts in the previous battle of Wandu Palace, and the exposed Qinglong Pavilion and Beiman were beyond everyone's expectations, but there are still more mysteries that have not been solved.

People in the Jianghu have different opinions on this, but Xue Yan firmly believes that all the mysteries are related to Qin Fan.

There is no evidence, no clues, everything is just because he has worked with Qin Fan before, so he thinks it is absolutely impossible for Qin Fan to perform so mediocrely in the grand event of the Wandu Palace War.

If you think about it carefully, did Ying Tianhong really die of greed?

He did know that Xiang Bohuai, the third elder of the Zhudao Hall, died at the hands of Qin Fan, and he and Yan Kuangshan were the ones to finish the matter.

In other words, there is animosity between Ghost City and Zhudaotang.

From this, he also suspected Ying Wuque, but thinking according to common sense, it is impossible for a person to turn around and help his father-killing enemy so quickly.

But Xue Yan just felt that something was wrong. Even if he took ten thousand steps back and said that there was no problem with Ying Wuque, he was not optimistic about this potential kill.

There is no other reason, but because among the people he met, Qin Fan was the most terrifying. Xue Yan had a very clear understanding that he would rather be an enemy of anyone than Qin Fan.

So he left the video showing his attitude through the interview of "Happiness is over".

At the same time, as the deadline for the Qianlong list competition is about to be set, he also knows that it is time for him to choose his next home.

And the one he chose was Qinglong Pavilion.

The background of the Constellation League is unfathomable, and he needs a stronger tree to shelter it from the wind and rain, so he found out the situation of the Sanxiang League through the information of the six gates, and started to make friends with the second elder .

Taking advantage of the battle of Wandu Palace, Qinglong Pavilion has been hit hard in terms of public opinion, waiting for an opportunity to show its own value.

This opportunity is [Sword Mad Sword Crazy]!
Facing Wei Butong's flattery at this moment, he opened his mouth and said:
"I know you intend to seek refuge with the Second Elder, but this will undoubtedly intensify the conflict between the Second Elder and the Third Elder, especially at this critical moment."

Wei Butong had a bitter face, which was why he asked Xue Yan, an outsider, for help, because besides that, he really had no other choice.

And without the cover of the second elder, even if he had just survived the catastrophe of [Sword Madness and Sword Crazy], he still couldn't escape the wrath of the third elder.

"Of course, if the prestige of the third elder is not as good as before, and you can make the second elder look at you differently, then you have a chance to get the protection of the second elder."

Xue Yan looked at Wei Butong pointingly.

But after Wei Butong scratched his head, he still looked worried. He couldn't keep up with Xue Yan's train of thought, and he couldn't understand the meaning of the other party's words, but he understood that the other party was going to show him a way out.

Immediately, he knelt down and said, "I beg your lord to save this villain's life!"

Xue Yan helped him up and sighed at the same time.

At this time, he somewhat misses the time in Xuanyang Domain, whether it is Yan Kuangshan who is wise and foolish, or Gongsun Mei who is also unwilling to be ordinary, after he clarifies a sentence, they will immediately follow.

Not to mention Qin Fan, a monster who was always standing several floors higher than him.

So he said more directly in his words:

"What would the third elder do if he knew his son had been kidnapped?"

"Look for it! It must be Manxuan Feiyu's search!" At this moment, Wei Butong finally caught up with Xue Yan's train of thought.

"Then what will he do after he finds out that the person who kidnapped Song Ce is [Sword Mad Sword Crazy]?"

"Definitely keep looking. The third elder regards his son more than his life. Needless to say, a mere [Sword Mad Sword Crazy], even the king of heaven, I will not give up."

"So at that time, the manpower of the Sanxiang League will definitely be mobilized, right? It's only been a night now, because of the search for Song Ce, more than 100 people have died, and there is also a master of the innate realm.

Next, how many more do you think will die? "

"This"

"Then change the way of thinking, who is responsible for Song Ce's kidnapping?"

"It was Song Ce himself who provoked people who shouldn't be provoked." As early as when the 1000 people were arranged, Wei Butong went to the king's chess and card room to investigate the details, and asked a few of his cronies.

Just for a few cards, Song Ce directly hired outlaws to find trouble with [Sword Mad Sword Crazy], and now he was tied back by the other party, and he could only blame himself for being unlucky.

So this reason cannot be taken advantage of. Of course, it is okay to have a wave of black and white, but this trick is only good for people without background.

The one who kidnapped Song Ce was 【Sword Madness and Sword Chi】, not only the famous Xiamo recently, but also the core disciple of Wangyou Ghost City. It is rumored that he has joined Suzaku Palace, so this is the core of the core.

And with the reputation of the ghost market today, if the little Sanxiang League wants to stir up three points unreasonably, the other party will slap it directly from the air, and slap all the second and third elders to death.

"Then the trouble Song Ce caused by himself requires the entire Sanxiang League to wipe his ass. How about the disciples who died during this period, who are not the children of his parents."

"I understand, I will arrange a few subordinates to spread this truth now!" At this moment, Wei Butong was enlightened, this is the operation method that Xue Yan mentioned before [if the prestige of the third elder is not as good as before].

Just when he felt that he had finally caught up with Xue Yan's train of thought, a member of the Sanxiang League came to report in a hurry.

"Master Rudder, a news suddenly spread outside, saying that the Sanxiang League was secretly supported by the Qinglong Pavilion, which caused the entire Huaiying City to become chaotic."

"Is there any relationship between the Sanxiang League and the Qinglong Pavilion?" Wei Butong scolded the disciple and stepped back, then looked at Xue Yan puzzled.

Xue Yan shook his head and said:
"I don't know about it, but it is clear that this matter cannot be groundless, and the kidnapping of Song Ce is no longer limited to the third elder and [Sword Mad Sword Crazy]."

Hearing this conclusion, Wei Butong broke out in cold sweat in a short moment.

Whether it is Wangyou Ghost City or Qinglong Pavilion, he is a colossus, but he is such a small guy, but he joins the battlefield where the two sides are fighting secretly. Thinking about it, the consequences are worse than being stabbed by [Sword Mad Sword Crazy] Hacked to death directly.

"grown ups!"

"Don't worry, it's not too bad. In fact, it's very easy to break the situation. Let the third elder give up looking for his son."

"It's impossible!" Wei Butong shook his head.

"Then we can only give up the third elder."

"what?"

Xue Yan didn't explain much, just said:

"You go and complete the first step first, the sooner more members of the Sanxiang League know that the third elder handles private affairs in the name of official business, and regards the lives of many disciples as nothing, the safer you will be.

Of course, the source of this transmission is easy to find out. Whether it is the first elder or the second elder who finds you, they will definitely ask you why you did this.

Then you just need to paraphrase what I just said. "

"What I said just now. Giving up on the third elder. I understand!" Wei Butong nodded.

"Besides, it's not just the Sanxiang League that is in trouble, don't forget about Kuang Gan, behind him is Six Doors, and he is also a member of the old faction that has been working in Nanxuan Prefecture for many years.

Of course, you cannot do this alone.

But it was you who personally pushed Kuang Gan into the deadlock, and put it in front of the First Elder, the Second Elder, and even the leader, and this is also your credit. "

After Xue Yan reminded this sentence, he walked out, leaving only Wei Butong digesting the information he said in a daze.

After leaving this courtyard, Xue Yan walked through several streets and came to a mansion.

"Call me a reconciliation."

The servant who guarded the door saw his outfit in the flying fish suit, and nodded quickly, and after a while, a young man in a brocade suit came out with a suspicious expression on his face.

He is one of Song Ce's cronies, and it was he who suggested that Song Ce hire some experts to teach [Sword Mad Sword Chi] a lesson. In the end, he contacted the kidnapper Twelve Brothers with a mere 100 taels of silver to take over the deal.

"You are from the ghost market. If no one is instigated by Song Ce's ear, it is impossible for him to do such a thing with his courage."

Xie He's expression changed, before he could make any more reactions, Xue Yan said again:
"I'm here to remind you to run away as soon as possible. I can find you, and so can other people. Just the few friends around you will say anything if you scare them casually.

But I need you to remember me as a favor, my name is Xue Yan.

Tell the people behind you that the Sanxiang League will be in chaos, and Xuan Feiyu will also be in chaos. I have already helped you in this regard.

In addition, the old-school, stubborn and loyal head catchers of the Six Doors will also be buried together. I hope to exchange their lives for a chance to clear up the misunderstanding. "

"You" Xie He was dumbfounded, but he still didn't allow him to say more, Xue Yan interrupted directly.

"Remember my name?"

Xie He nodded: "Xue Yan."

"Remember what I just said?"

Xie He continued to nod.

"Then hurry up and leave with your home roll. If you don't escape from Xuan Feiyu within three days, you will surely die."

Without waiting for Xie He's answer, Xue Yan turned around and left.

He didn't want to destroy Ghost City's plan in Xuanfeiyu, and he couldn't do it with his own strength.

And speaking from the bottom of his heart, he really didn't want to be targeted by Qin Fan, so he once again showed his kindness and pushed the progress of his plan.

At the same time, through this plan, Wei Butong's extraordinary performance attracted the attention of the behind-the-scenes behind the Sanxiang League.

Xue Yan is very clear that his identity is a limitation. If he comes to the door and asks to join the Qinglong Pavilion, he will be rejected in all likelihood, so he simply pushes Wei Butong out as a pawn, and when the situation becomes more serious, wait The latter asked him to join.

There are many ways to show your own value, and the critical timing is even more important.

Before using Sima Kongming to target Qin Fan, he needed to use his relationship as the chief arrester of the Xuanyang Region, and he successfully reaped a lot of benefits from him.

Now, he also used Qin Fan to attack His Excellency Qinglong, and he would seize this opportunity and wait for the harvest to come.

This is Xue Yan's way of survival, almost like walking a tightrope between cliffs, and he is more eager to become stronger than anyone else, so he is willing to take these risks.

By the way, there is a more important point. When Kuang Gan died, the position of the chief arrester of Huaiying City was vacated. Now there is no suitable candidate to take over. It should not be too difficult for him, the chief arrester of Xuanyang Region, to hold two positions things.

Immediately, he recruited a Xinying, and told Sima Kongming in the letter that there was a vacancy for the chief arrester of the old school loyal to Daxuan, and he believed that the other party should understand what he meant.
