"Martial Uncle Kui, I really want the fourth level of the Pig Slaying Swordsmanship.
I'm also willing to exchange for it with something of equal value, or even more valuable, "Yang Dingtian said." But this can only be a private matter. We can't use official matters to exchange for it! "
These were Yang Dingtian's heartfelt words. Hence, after meeting Kui Si, Yang Dingtian had never mentioned the fourth level of the Pig Slaying Swordsmanship.
Under the current circumstances, it was too easy to confuse official matters with official matters.
He couldn't use the Council of Light's official power to exchange for Yang Dingtian's personal Pig Slaying Swordsmanship secret manual.
Even though the Council of Light didn't really want to start a war with the Cloud Sky Pavilion.
After hearing Yang Dingtian's words, Kui Si's face turned ashen. "Don't tell me you really want to destroy the Cloud Sky Pavilion?"
"Brother Kui, shouldn't you be punished for your wrongdoings?"
Qin Wanchou suddenly said. "Yun Cailin is your woman, but don't forget that Earth Splitting City is also a member of the Council of Light. During the meeting, we've already agreed that once you return, you'll immediately become a permanent member of the Council of Light!"
Then, Qin Wanchou said, "It's taboo to not distinguish between official matters and official matters!"
Kui Si fell silent. Then, he suddenly said, "I didn't know that Earth Splitting City had already joined the Council of Light. However, that was obviously Kui Ning's private decision. It doesn't count.
Moreover, not long ago, Earth Splitting City's Elders Guild also chose to leave the Council of Light.
Therefore, Earth Splitting City is no longer a member of the Council of Light. "
Yang Dingtian's face trembled. "Martial Uncle Kui Si, after you return, don't you intend to set things right and join the Council of Light?"
"No!" Kui Si said, "Earth Splitting City is a member of the Tiandō League. Why should we join the Council of Light?
Not to mention that the Elders Guild had already left the Council of Light. Even if they hadn't, they would have left after I return. "
The moment these words came out, Yang Dingtian and Qin Wanchou's faces turned ugly.
Regardless of what happened between the Cloud Sky Pavilion and Yang Dingtian, regardless of the fact that the Elders Guild of Earthshatter City had once betrayed the Council of Light.
However, in Yang Dingtian's heart, and even in the hearts of the entire Council of Light, Earthshatter City was one of their own. He could even be called a member of the Council of Light.
As for Yang Dingtian, Song Chunhua, and the others, they also treated Kui Ning as a life and death brother.
Now, Kui Si actually said that she wanted to draw a clear line between the Council of Light and Yang Dingtian!
"Why?
Could it be because of the Cloud Sky Pavilion?
Because Yun Cailin is your woman? "Yang Dingtian asked.
"No, it has nothing to do with that."
Kui Si said, "City Lord Yang, I know that I spoke up for you at the Tiandō League headquarters meeting, so you have always been grateful to me and have treated me as one of your own.
However, I will solemnly tell you that I spoke up for justice in the Heavenly Dao Union for myself and for the sake of justice.
Therefore, there is no friendship between us.
However, because of my words, you immediately went to Earthshatter City to form an alliance. This is definitely a deep conversation.
Of course, you bore the brunt of Zhu Qingzhu's anger for the sake of Earthshatter City and the Cloud Sky Pavilion. I am very grateful for this.
However, I think that during the battle of Cloud Heaven City, my Demon Eagle Army of Earth Splitting City had also contributed greatly to your cause. Therefore, our two families should be considered even! "
Yang Dingtian took a deep breath and nodded vigorously, "That's right. The Earth Fissure City has never owed me anything.
On the contrary, I have always owed Earthshatter City. "
"No need, we are even," Kui Si said.
"From today onwards, our two families should not have any interactions. Otherwise, it will be difficult!"
Yang Dingtian wanted to ask why, but he did not.
Actually, from the first time he met Kui Si, he was very polite and courteous.
However, he was overly courteous and did not seem like a comrade-in-arms at all.
Kui Si's attitude had always been courteous, but there was also a hint of coldness and rejection.
Therefore, after Yang Dingtian and Zhu Qingzhu won the battle, Earthshatter City did not send anyone to congratulate them.
Furthermore, Kui Si had always addressed Yang Dingtian as City Lord Yang and not Sect Leader Yang.
Obviously, he did not approve of his identity as the Sect Leader of the Hidden Sect.
Why was this so?
Yang Dingtian really wanted to know.
"City Lord Yang said that we should not mix public and private matters. I agree with this point."
Kui Si said, "During the Demon City's Merchant Palace's auction, I bought the Pig Slaying Swordsmanship Fourth Rank Secret Manual out of anger. This item is of no use to me. Even though I spent money to buy it, it should still be considered as something that belongs to you.
Now, let's officially return it to its rightful owner! "
After saying this, Kui Si took out a scroll and passed it to Yang Dingtian.
"I don't deserve it."
Yang Dingtian then took out the Ring of Protection and passed it to Kui Si, "This is the Ring of Protection. It can be considered as a priceless treasure. It can defend against all attacks that are of the same cultivation level as you.
I will use this ring to exchange for your Pig Slaying Swordsmanship! "
"No!"
Kui Si directly placed the secret manual on the table and said, "You saved my Earthshatter City and my Demon Eagle Army's battle with Cloud Heaven City was just icing on the cake!
Therefore, I will give you this Pig Slaying Swordsmanship Fourth Rank Secret Manual.
From now on, I do not owe you any more!
Your ring is too precious. I cannot afford it. Goodbye! "
After saying this, Kui Si directly left.
Yang Dingtian wanted to chase after him, but Qin Wanchou pulled him back.
After walking to the door, Kui Si suddenly turned his head and said, "City Lord Yang, I don't care what ambitions you have.
But I have two things to say. First, don't come looking for my Kui Ning in the future. Don't have anything to do with my Earthshatter City.
Second, don't try to invade the Southern Yingzhou. Once your army enters the Yingzhou Continent, once you start a war with the Cloud Sky Pavilion, it means that you are also starting a war with my Earthshatter City. My Demon Eagle Army will do its best to chase away all invaders. When that time comes, don't blame me for being heartless! "
Then, Kui Si left.
In the secret room, Yang Dingtian fell into silence.
"There's no need to think. It's still Wu Youming!"
Qin Wanchou said, "From Kui Si's attitude of keeping people at arm's length, it can be seen. He kept calling you City Lord Yang and the last sentence even said that he didn't care what ambitions you had.
He also thinks that you are impersonating the leader of the Hidden Sect and trying to usurp the Tiandō League! "
Then, Qin Wanchou patted Yang Dingtian's shoulder and said, "Don't be sad. Doing big things is like this. Not only do you have to bear the attacks of your enemies, you also have to bear the harm of your friends.
Believe me, Kui Si will soon taste the price of his ignorance. The entire Yingzhou Continent will soon be swept into hell! "
"Senior Uncle Qin, you don't have to be so gloating." Yang Dingtian said.
"Did I make it very obvious?"
Qin Wanchou laughed, "But you are right. Every time I see someone being ignorant and stupid, I am very happy. I have an inexplicable sense of superiority over others!"
Yang Dingtian was speechless.
"But you appear to be in pain. You try to explain everything, but it's often futile and even more painful." Qin Wanchou said, "So, you are the good guy and I am the bad guy!
It's just that when you were against me and Song Xiao, how vicious were you?
The three of us old fellows have been trapped by you!
You should use this mentality and method on Kui Si, or even Kui Ning! "
Yang Dingtian shook his head helplessly.
After these few days of contact, Yang Dingtian understood Kui Si even more clearly.
Without a doubt, Kui Si was a good person, an upright and unyielding person.
And he wasn't greedy and was loyal.
But he was very, very stubborn, to the point of being paranoid.
He obtained the fourth stage of the Pig Slaying Swordsmanship, but he didn't want Yang Dingtian's Guardian Ring. He directly threw the secret manual on Yang Dingtian's table.
It showed that this person's character was first class.
But because of this, once he decided on something, he couldn't change it anymore.
So, sometimes, a good person brought more pain than a bad person.
Previously, Qin Wanchou's repeated actions were cunning and changeable.
Yang Dingtian had a headache, but it wasn't painful.
Because he knew that Qin Wanchou was such a person. He could directly use methods to deal with him.
But for a person like Kui Si, neither soft nor hard methods worked.
"Don't tell me we're just going to sit and watch the Earth Splitting City slide into the abyss?" Yang Dingtian said.
"That won't do."
Qin Wanchou said, "We still have to get the Demon Eagle Army. As for the others, don't think too highly of yourself. You can't save them all!"
Then, Qin Wanchou laughed. "Wu Youming wants to bring his wife back to the Sea of Hades to see his mother.
Such a simple signal, how can some idiots not see it?
And they still want to jump down. If they want to die, even pulling them can't stop them! "
…
After that, the Council of Light still didn't declare war on the Cloud Sky Pavilion. Even the ancient giant beast retreated from the Cloud Sky Pavilion's sea.
Originally, Yang Dingtian thought that such a retreat would make the Cloud Sky Pavilion restrain themselves.
He didn't expect Yun Cailin to be even more arrogant. Her crystal warship appeared in the western sea and ambushed the West Continent's merchant ships on the sea. She ambushed all the targets on the ground.
Moreover, Yun Cailin spent most of her time in Zhongzhou. She contacted various forces and invited Zhongzhou to attack Yang Dingtian again.
She even visited Zhu Qingzhu of the Black Heaven Sect again and again.
She hoped that Zhu Qingzhu would be the leader of the alliance and once again form the Zhongzhou Ancient Martial Artist Army to attack the Council of Light and Yang Dingtian.
Once a woman went crazy, she was completely unreasonable.
Yun Cailin jumped up and down crazily, not for justice, but to vent her anger.
Moreover, after the Vulture Sect's Black Vulture Army was deployed, she felt that she had gained a huge backer.
Moreover, after the Black Vulture Army appeared, Yang Dingtian immediately retreated. Of course, she thought that Yang Dingtian was afraid and weak.
Therefore, she immediately took advantage of the situation to bully Yang Dingtian. She wanted to completely break Yang Dingtian's spine and avenge her humiliation.
Therefore, during this period, Yang Dingtian received a large number of reports of casualties and attacks every day.
The Cloud Sky Pavilion's ambushes became crazier and crazier.
Moreover, a large fleet had already appeared in the West Continent's waters.
Her provocations became crazier and crazier.
In the end, Yun Cailin even publicly announced in Zhongzhou that she wanted Yang Dingtian to disband the Council of Light. She wanted Yang Dingtian to admit his guilt and accept his punishment!
Otherwise, the Cloud Sky Pavilion's righteous crusade would not stop!
Moreover, the crusade against Yang Dingtian's 99 major crimes that she was forced to read out was posted again.
Zhu Qingzhu didn't dare to accept the crusade anymore. She had already torn it down and burned it.
After Yun Cailin relied on the Vulture Sect as her backer, she picked up the crusade again. She listed Yang Dingtian's 99 major crimes all over Zhongzhou and even spread it to the West Continent.
Yun Cailin even announced that she would discuss this with the Vulture Sect. Then, she even contacted the Sea of Hades. The three sects pressured the Yin-Yang school together. They wanted the Yin-Yang school to officially expel Yang Dingtian from the Yin-Yang school and deny that Yang Dingtian was the successor of Dongfang Minmie.
Once that was done, they would add the crime of Yang Dingtian cheating Ximen Yanyan into marrying him.
His two noble identities, one being the successor of Dongfang Minmie and the other being the successor of Ximen Wuya, would be completely discarded.
Then, Yang Dingtian would lose all his foundation in the Tiandō League.
This was equivalent to digging up Yang Dingtian's roots!
Yang Dingtian and even Qin Wanchou were gasping in amazement at this scene.
Even when Yang Dingtian, Qin Qiqi, and Ning Wuming were at loggerheads with each other, they were not so thorough.
At the very least, they used Leng Yanmei to tarnish Yang Dingtian. At other times, Ning Wuming was polite to Yang Dingtian. It was only after Yang Dingtian had stolen Wu Mozhi's body that Ning Wuming spoke ill of him.
When Yang Dingtian and Zhu Qingzhu were at loggerheads, they listed 99 major crimes.
However, when the battle really started, Zhu Qingzhu had always treated Yang Dingtian as a junior in the Tiandō League. His status was high, so he had always followed the rules.
There had never been an enemy as crazy as Yun Cailin. She looked as if she wanted to skin Yang Dingtian alive.
Moreover, Yang Dingtian did not do anything to her. He did not even treat her as an enemy.
It was truly breathtaking!
*****
Yun Cailin's crazy performance infuriated the entire Council of Light. Letters of challenge flew like snowflakes.
They had been so f * cking aggrieved during this period of time.
The Council of Light had defeated Zhu Qingzhu, but Yun Cailin was trampling all over them. They could not tolerate this at all.
However, the upper echelons of the Council of Light seemed to be really afraid of the Vulture Sect. Although they retaliated against the Cloud Sky Pavilion, they did not declare war.
Even the upper echelons of the Council of Light were dissatisfied. Song Xiao had a fiery temper and was about to explode from anger.
He directly declared that he would tear Yun Cailin into pieces.
After being rejected, he simply skipped every meeting, saying that he did not want to be bullied.
Only Qin Wanchou was happier the crazier Yun Cailin was. He often shouted, "Soon, soon!"
…
During this period of time, the ordinary operations of the entire West Continent, such as the clean-up operations, the freeing of slaves, the leasing of land, the construction of cities, and the relocation of Xijing, were all carried out in an orderly manner.
Yang Dingtian was finally not so busy. Occasionally, he could have a meal with his wife and baby.
Moreover, he had obtained two Chaotic Demonic Turbidity (one from the World Society and one from the Ning Clan) and the Yin Yang Reincarnation Crystal!
The second Celestial Chi Condensation Purification Array could also be built.
Moreover, Yang Dingtian had made some modifications to this Celestial Chi Condensation Array.
As for the modification plan, of course, it was based on the Celestial Chi Condensation Array in the Martial Arts Hall at the bottom of the sea. Yang Dingtian had studied it for a while back then.
Speaking of which, it was interesting. Back then, Yang Dingtian wanted to build the Celestial Chi Condensation Purification Array to raise the level of Cloud Sky City and the morale of Cloud Sky City's martial artists. He wanted Cloud Sky City to be one of the top sects in the world.
However, he did not expect that the situation would change so drastically.
Not only was Cloud Sky City famous, but Yang Dingtian had even established another Tiandō League and completely unified the West Continent.
Therefore, the strategic significance of this Celestial Chi Condensation Purification Array was naturally not as great as before.
However, it was still very significant.
After the modification based on the structure of the Celestial Chi Condensation Purification Array in the ancient world's underwater maze, the power of the second Celestial Chi Condensation Purification Array increased by more than 30%.
Compared to the array in the Northwest Qin City, it was much more powerful.
Therefore, during this period of time, Yang Dingtian and Zhu Hongxue were relatively free in the Council of Light.
Zhu Hongxue basically did not care about anything.
As for Yang Dingtian, he was only responsible for making the highest decisions.
In order to make up for the guilt in his heart, ever since Yang Dingtian and Zhu Hongxue built the Celestial Chi Condensation Array, Yang Dingtian forced Zhu Hongxue to soak in this Celestial Chi Condensation Array every day.
Today, the Blackheaven Sect also had a Celestial Chi Condensation Array, but it could not compare to Yang Dingtian's.
After the Celestial Chi Condensation Technique, Yang Dingtian personally became Zhu Hongxue's actual combat opponent. He sparred with him and helped him improve!
As for the Cloud Sky Pavilion's crazy sneak attacks and Yun Cailin's crazy attacks and insults, Yang Dingtian simply did not see them and did not feel vexed.
At this moment, Yang Dingtian fully felt a kind of sadness.
Yun Cailin was clearly just a stepping stone, a supporting role of a supporting role. Yet, he forcibly stood on the stage and performed crazily to fight for the lead role.
He and Qin Wanchou had already foreseen how tragic his ending would be.
…
As for the Pig Slaying Swordsmanship's fourth stage that Kui Si sent over!
Yang Dingtian did not want to touch it at first. Later on, under Qin Wanchou's advice, he felt that he was being too emotional and opened the scroll.
As expected, this world would have surprises, but they would definitely not happen as you expected.
The Pig Slaying Swordsmanship's fourth stage that Kui Si sent over was indeed the first stage!
There was no second stage!
However, Yang Dingtian had already learned the first stage.
Therefore, for nearly a month after Kui Si's visit, Yang Dingtian was practically helping Zhu Hongxue cultivate and actual combat!
Until one day, Qin Wanchou said that Zhu Hongyu had come again!
…
Zhu Hongyu came and said that Zhu Qingzhu had already agreed. He promised to show his allegiance to the Council of Light and stop the Evil ways of attacking Ning Wuming in exchange for a ceasefire between the Council of Light and Zhu Qingzhu.
Yang Dingtian said, "I, Yang Dingtian, am a man of my word. As long as Sect Leader Zhu returns to the Righteous Path and crusades against Evil ways!
Then, the Council of Light will immediately stop the war with Zhongzhou! "
Zhu Hongyu said, "Sect Leader Yang, I believe that you will see our sincerity very soon!"
Zhu Hongyu came quickly and left quickly. From start to end, they talked for less than 15 minutes.
And his arrival, other than Yang Dingtian and a few people, no one else knew about it!
After Zhu Hongyu left, Qin Wanchou looked at the dark night sky outside and muttered to himself, "Yun Cailin's doomsday is coming soon!"
