Wu Youming had changed.
At first glance, Yang Dingtian could clearly feel this.
That refreshing smile was gone, that humble and easy-going expression was gone, that extremely hypocritical gentleness was also gone.
What replaced it was arrogance, toughness, and even coldness.
When Yun Junnu brought her in, he even impudently stared at her. This was something he would never do in the past.
This arrogant and unyielding expression only changed when he was in front of Yang Dingtian. His expression turned gentle again, and when he saw Yang Dingtian, it was as though he had seen an old friend.
"Brother Yang, you're back?
I'm relieved, I was afraid you wouldn't come back. "Wu Youming said with a smile.
"My luck is not bad."
Yang Dingtian said with a smile: "Oh right, what's the Netherworld Sea doing, making it so big, sealing the entire space of the Taboo Continent?"
Wu Youming said with a smile: "Just a small matter!"
Then, without waiting for Yang Dingtian to greet him, he found a seat like the host and sat down, saying: "Do you have wine?"
Wow, the sun really rose from the west, Wu Youming was a meticulous person who treated his image like his life, when did he become so open?
Yang Dingtian looked at Yun Junnu.
She immediately went to fetch a bottle of amber colored strong wine, and two gorgeous jade cups.
This strong wine was mainly brewed with two things, one was the Bewildering Fruit, the other was the Fierce Snake Blood.
Although it was not the most expensive wine in this world, it was definitely the strongest and best wine.
Yang Dingtian picked up the wine to pour, but Wu Youming took the bottle and smiled at Yang Dingtian: "Let me."
Then, he poured half a cup for Yang Dingtian and himself.
He raised his cup and raised it to Yang Dingtian, drinking half of it, then his handsome face wrinkled.
"Brother Netherworld, you've changed a lot," said Yang Dingtian.
"Learn from a painful experience. People can't always be the same."
Wu Youming looked at the wine in her glass and said with a smile, "For the past few months, I've been fighting openly and secretly with those big shots in the Council of Light, racking my brains. It's hard not to change.
Then, I realized that once you enter the Red Sea of Power and start fighting, your posture will be useless. I also realized that in this kind of naked battle and killing, it is useless to be gentle and elegant. You have to roll up your sleeves, pick up your saber and sword, and fight with short weapons.
Even reputation was useless.
When fame reached a certain point, it would instead become an obstacle.
That's why you're so amazing. You don't have a good reputation, but you still soar like the sun! "
Yang Dingtian carefully took a sip of wine and said, "Even if he was at the peak of his power, you've kicked him down from the clouds in the past few months.
Now, the whole world is calculating the date of my death. "
Wu Youming rubbed her nose and said, "This, is probably something that can't be helped. After all, the difference in strength between us is too great."
Then, she poured wine for Yang Dingtian and herself. She stared at Yun Junnu's beautiful figure and said, "Have you seen anyone else with a figure like Yun Junnu in the world?"
Yang Dingtian immediately looked at Yun Junnu.
Her figure was not as exaggerated as Wu Mozhi's, but it was really beautiful.
That was because her waist was long and thin.
Therefore, her figure was almost as seductive as a snake's.
"With her type, she should be number one."
Yang Dingtian said, "Mozhi is different from her. You know your wife, Vulture. She's flat."
After saying that, Vulture's face turned cold, but she did not say anything.
If it was any other time, she would have already cursed.
It could be seen that in the past few months, she had been taught very well by Wu Youming.
Being stared at like this, Yun Junnu only glared at Yang Dingtian. Then, she raised her chest proudly and welcomed Yang Dingtian's gaze.
"Such an attractive woman, Junior Brother Yang, are you not going to take her in?" Wu Youming suddenly said.
Yang Dingtian smiled and said, "Since when did Brother You Ming become so nosy and start to plan for my private life?"
Wu Youming smiled and drank a mouthful of wine. Then, she laughed and said, "Such an attractive woman, if you don't enjoy her, when you die, maybe someone else will take advantage of her."
When she said this, Yang Dingtian's face turned cold. He stared at Wu Youming.
Wu Youming still smiled and said, "Also, you didn't even take such an attractive woman like Yun Junnu into your room. Why are you targeting my mother-in-law? Do you want to anger Old Ancestor Wulingzi so much?"
Yang Dingtian's cold expression gradually eased. He smiled at Wu Youming and said, "Ling Bi's husband didn't say anything. As a son-in-law, you came in a hurry. Aren't you a little too anxious?"
Wu Youming stood up and instantly became very serious. She said to Yang Dingtian, "Let Ling Bi's mother-in-law come home with me. Otherwise, you will be responsible for the consequences!"
Yang Dingtian said to Yun Junnu, "Go and call Ling Bi in."
Soon, Ling Bi, who was filled with fear and a hidden resentment, walked in.
Wu Youming bowed modestly and said, "Son-in-law greets mother-in-law."
Ling Bi nodded uneasily and did not have any other reaction.
Vulture was her biological daughter. However, there was no more interaction between the mother and daughter.
Vulture looked at her mother. Her mouth moved, but she did not say anything. She did not even call her mother.
Ling Bi said that she was not qualified to take care of Vulture since she was young. Therefore, the relationship between mother and daughter was very weak. Vulture even looked down on her mother.
"Wu Youming wants to take you back. What do you think?" Yang Dingtian asked.
"I'm not going back." Although Ling Bi was uneasy and afraid, she did not hesitate and said directly.
"Mother-in-law, are you sure?" Wu Youming said with a smile.
Ling Bi nodded forcefully.
Wu Youming said to Yang Dingtian, "Yang Dingtian, what's your decision?"
Yang Dingtian said, "I respect Madam Ling Bi's decision."
Wu Youming said with a smile, "Alright, Yang Dingtian, I hope you won't regret it.
You should know how serious the consequences of your actions are. Because the person who will look for you next will not be me. "
Then, Wu Youming took Vulture and left!
*****
"I, should I go back?" Ling Bi suddenly asked Yang Dingtian uneasily.
"No." Yang Dingtian said, "I know it's a pit of fire. I can't let you jump in."
Then, Yang Dingtian said with a smile, "Alright, you don't have to worry about anything. Go and rest."
Ling Bi left while looking back repeatedly.
"I seem to have heard Wu Youming's words." Yun Junnu said.
"Of course, he doesn't want Ling Bi to go back. He's here to cut off my path of retreat. Next, he wants me to face Wulingzi's wrath." Yang Dingtian said.
"No, I'm not talking about that." Yun Junnu said, "He's talking about taking me into his room."
Yang Dingtian said with a smile, "Why, you want to be taken into my room too?"
Yun Junnu said with a smile, "Let's talk about that later. I feel that the way he looks at me is very strange. Also, all of you seem to be hiding something from me."
Yang Dingtian said with a smile, "When did you become so smart?"
Yun Junnu said, "Did Wu Youming discover some of my secrets?"
Yang Dingtian nodded.
"Can you tell me this secret?" Yun Junnu asked.
Yang Dingtian shook his head.
"Why?" Yun Junnu asked.
"If I tell you, you won't be happy." Yang Dingtian said with a smile, "You finally became happy. Why should I make you unhappy?
Besides, this secret isn't important to you at all. Just enjoy the present. "
Yun Junnu was silent for a while. He raised his head and asked, "Then will you take me into your room?"
Yang Dingtian asked, "Do you want me to take you into my room?"
Yun Junnu thought for a while and shook his head, "I think it's good like this. I'm not interested in the matters between men and women."
"Then it's good." Yang Dingtian said.
Then, after thinking for a while, Yang Dingtian said, "Wu Youming has changed a lot."
Yun Junnu said, "Yes. When he realized that his reputation and mask of hypocrisy had become his obstacles, he immediately tore them off. Then, he became very sharp and terrifying."
Yang Dingtian said, "When I saw Master and City Lord Qin Wanchou, I realized that they seemed to have something that they didn't say."
Yun Junnu said, "During this period, Wu Youming has been very fierce in seizing power in Central Continent. He seems to be preparing to kill you and take over the Council of Light.
Once he tore off his mask of elegance, he became very difficult to deal with. "
"Did you see blood?" Yang Dingtian asked.
"Yes." Yun Junnu said.
"Who?" Yang Dingtian asked.
"Song Xiao, Zhu Hongxue!" Yun Junnu said, "Song Xiao lost a leg.
Zhu Hongxue lost his right arm! "
"What?" Yang Dingtian was furious and shouted, "Then why didn't you tell me just now?"
"They felt that the most important thing now is the duel between you and Wu Youming. Nothing can distract you." Yun Junnu said.
Yang Dingtian felt the anger in his heart that was about to burst out. He said, "Then, then Wu Youming didn't receive any punishment?"
"On the surface, the fault lies with Song Xiao and Zhu Hongxue." Yun Junnu said, "I've said it before. After he tore off his mask of hypocrisy, he became very powerful.
Zhu Hongyu has entered Black Heaven Sect again. The people of Central Continent have changed a lot.
Although no one dares to say it publicly, once the duel ends, many people will change their allegiance! "
"Is it because Vulture Palace and Netherworld Sea came out in full force?" Yang Dingtian asked.
"Yes."
Yun Junnu said, "The number of Grandmasters and Masters sent by these two most secretive forces is more than the total number of Council of Light.
The absolute power of the Martial Way has intimidated everyone. "
*****
Yang Dingtian saw Song Xiao with a broken leg!
Although he was smiling, he was not in a good state. His face was emitting a demonic red glow.
"Sect Leader, he is killing the chicken to warn the monkey. I am the chicken, Qin Wanchou and the rest are the monkeys."
Song Xiao laughed, "They first used Grandmasters to tempt me, then forced me, and then tricked me.
You also know that I have a fiery temper and cannot be provoked.
So, I made the first move, and then I lost my right leg.
I don't care, but it's a pity for our Council of Light's great foundation. "
As Song Xiao spoke, he gulped down a mouthful of wine.
"Uncle Song, can't your leg be reattached?" Yang Dingtian asked.
"It can't be reattached. In front of me, he fed the broken leg to the black vulture." Song Xiao laughed loudly, but his eyes started to twitch.
He was ambitious. After entering the Council of Light, he had completely lost the second spring of his career. After he had no hope of breaking through to Grandmaster, he put all his energy into the army.
Although his methods were ruthless and his reputation was bad, he had always done well.
For many things, as long as Song Xiao was the one doing it, he would get twice the result with half the effort.
Now, one of his legs was broken. Although he was not completely crippled, he was not far from it. This was worse than killing him.
So, he was really in despair.
"Who did it?" Yang Dingtian asked.
"Sect Leader, you don't have to care about who did it. Just think about the duel.
As long as you win, everything will be fine.
Even if you don't win, you must not die. Once you die, then … then everything will be ruined. "Song Xiao said.
"Who was it?" Yang Dingtian asked word by word.
"Sea of Hades, Wu Yu's eldest disciple, Tie Muli!" Song Xiao said.
"Got it." Yang Dingtian said indifferently.
Patting Song Xiao's other good leg, Yang Dingtian turned and was about to leave.
"Sect Leader!"
Song Xiao suddenly said, "Wu Youming's official residence has invited many of us. Qiu Wanjie went there before. You also know that he is a soft-hearted person."
Yang Dingtian nodded.
Qiu Wanjie had always been a soft-hearted person, but he had the most important small-sized crystal crossbow in his hands. This would play an important role in future aerial battles.
Song Xiao continued, "I'm not worried about Qiu Wanjie, this soft-hearted person. He doesn't have that much guts.
But Qin Wanchou, if you die in this duel, he will become the greatest threat to the Council of Light.
In our Council of Light, his influence is the greatest.
As long as you are alive, even if you lose the duel, he will not betray you.
But as long as you die, he will definitely betray you.
So, if you have any plans, you can prepare them in advance. "
The meaning in Song Xiao's words was already very scary.
He pointed out that if Yang Dingtian felt that he would definitely die, then in order for the Council of Light to not fall apart, he would have to get rid of Qin Wanchou.
Not only Yang Dingtian understood Qin Wanchou's attitude, Dongfang Minmie also understood.
As long as Yang Dingtian died, Qin Wanchou would definitely betray him.
But as long as Yang Dingtian didn't die, Qin Wanchou would definitely not betray him.
Qin Wanchou was different from Dongfang Minmie, Kui Si, and Duan Ruyan.
Dongfang Minmie, Kui Si, Duan Ruyan, and the rest were all loyal to the world's righteous path.
But Qin Wanchou was loyal to Yang Dingtian alone!
"Uncle Song, get ready." Yang Dingtian: "Prepare to break through to the Great Grandmaster level."
After saying this, Yang Dingtian directly left.
And Song Xiao, who was already extremely dejected, was suddenly stunned on the bed, his eyes bursting with a light of disbelief!
*****
In the Council of Light's conference hall.
"This duel, no matter who wins or loses, if I don't die, will it start?"
Then, will there be a war? "Yang Dingtian asked.
"Yes!" Qin Wanchou and Dongfang Minmie said almost in unison.
Dongfang Minmie said: "Little Tian, when you return to Zhongjing today, another thirty thousand Black Vultures will enter Nanzhongzhou!
Now, there are already ninety thousand Black Vultures near Zhongjing.
They are enough to resist a million strong army. "
Qin Wanchou said: "If you lose the duel with Wu Youming, they will seize the power of the Council of Light.
They will definitely seize power, seize the power of the Radiant Parliament. At the very least, they will chase us back to the West Continent.
If we don't allow it, they will start a war. "
Yang Dingtian: "Then what if I win?"
Suddenly, everyone present fell into a short silence.
Yang Dingtian winning?
They had never thought of this idea.
They thought that the best result was that Yang Dingtian didn't die.
As long as Yang Dingtian didn't die, even if he was driven back to the West Continent, he would have the strength to fight again.
Dongfang Minmie said: "Little Tian, even if you win, they will still start a war!"
"What reason will they use to start a war?" Yang Dingtian asked.
"Many reasons."
Dongfang Minmie said: "If you lose and don't die, then the ones who will start a war with us will be the Vulture Palace, the Netherworld Sea, and most of the forces in Zhongzhou.
In these few months, after Wu Youming took off her mask, the results were remarkable.
Many of the forces in Zhongzhou couldn't resist at all.
Nearly half of the Zhongzhou Army that we formed are in their hands.
The pressure of the Black Vulture Army hovers over everyone's head. No one can resist the fear of extinction. "
Qin Wanchou said: "The key to the problem is Wulingzi of the Vulture Palace.
I don't know what medicine he took wrong, but he suddenly supported Wu Youming crazily, even more than Wu Youming. "
Yang Dingtian certainly understood the reason.
Dongfang Minmie continued: "Of course, if you win.
Then only the Vulture Palace and the Netherworld Sea will start a war with us. Most of the forces in Zhongzhou won't dare to move.
But no matter what, no matter if you win or lose this duel, a war is inevitable. "
Yang Dingtian was silent.
Yang Dingtian had already confirmed this point of view a long time ago.
This duel, no matter who won or lost, a war would break out.
Of course, there was a situation where a war wouldn't break out, and that was if Yang Dingtian died in the duel.
In that case, Qin Wanchou would directly defect, followed by Qiu Wanjie's, and more than half of the West Continent's defection.
Then, Earth Crack City, Cloud Sky Pavilion, Yin-Yang school, and other forces of justice would face a complete one-sided annihilation!
At present, the key to this war was the Vulture Palace, and Wulingzi!
Yang Dingtian took a deep breath and said: "When Wu Youming and the Vulture separate, I'll go and meet the Vulture in private!"
No matter whether they could stop the war or not, they had to strive for it.
*****
Soon, Yang Dingtian found an opportunity.
Wu Youming was very busy now. She was openly trying to rope in and intimidate the leaders of various forces in Zhongzhou.
His team openly interfered in the affairs of Zhongzhou, so he had almost endless work to do.
For some things, Wu Youming would bring the Vulture along, but for some things, she wouldn't!
Therefore, the Vulture spent a considerable amount of time alone.
In a secret restaurant, Yang Dingtian met the Vulture!
Compared to a few months ago, she seemed to have matured a lot.
In an instant, she had changed from a young girl to a woman.
"Brother Yang Dingtian, you shouldn't have met me," the Vulture suddenly said. "Of course, you shouldn't have let my mother follow you.
My great-grandfather was so angry that he was about to lose his mind.
Tomorrow, the 50,000 Black Vulture troops will enter Zhongzhou again. "
Yang Dingtian looked at the Vulture's delicate and pretty face for a long time. Suddenly, he said, "Vulture, you're not your father's daughter. You're Wulingzi's biological daughter!"
