The villa was large and gorgeous, The interior was incredibly luxurious, The carpet stretched from the door to the hall was thick and comfortable, Stomping on it, Four thick sandalwood pillars that gave off a unique fragrance supported the ceiling, All sorts of vivid patterns were created by the most famous sculptor in the empire. They were dragons flying and phoenixes dancing. They were lifelike. Ten sandalwood and nine skies. These four enormous sandalwood pillars were completely unobtainable. Whether it was wood or carvings, they could be said to be priceless.
There were no windows in the villa, The curtains were tightly closed, blocking out all the light outside, The precious crystal chandelier on the ceiling emitted a gentle light. Under the light, an old man with his back facing the door of the villa wore an ancient silk robe. His slightly thinned hair was neatly combed. He was holding a bone porcelain tea set in his hand and brewing tea. The only thing left for Lin Fengxue was a thin, almost shriveled back.
Lin Fengxue's originally stiff smile became even more natural. He gently waved his hand and the thirteen disciples, who had always protected him tightly, stopped at the door at the same time. They looked at the old figure inside the villa with burning eyes and reverence.
Thirteen disciples were the strongest defensive line around Lin Fengxue. Thirteen absolute first-rate experts represented the most elite and sharp teams. Not to mention being bodyguards, even if they were to form a mercenary group, with their strength, they could definitely become one of the most terrifying mercenary groups in the Dark World.
However, such an absolutely powerful team could not retain the slightest bit of pride in front of that figure. Everyone's eyes were almost the same. Worship, fanaticism, fear, terror, and all sorts of extreme gazes fused together, forming an exceptionally complicated emotion. They did not dare to get close to him, nor did they dare to offend him in the slightest.
Lin Fengxue subconsciously took a deep breath and slightly quickened her pace. She came to the old man with Yun Qiuping and smiled, "Elder Yun, it's been a while since I came to see you. Are you alright?"
"Alright."
Old Man Yun replied without raising his head. His tone was very soft, but his voice was very steady. It was very clear and powerful when it reached people's ears. He casually nodded and calmly said, "Sit down."
Lin Fengxue and Yun Qiuping sat down together, not in a hurry to speak, quietly watching the old man brew tea.
Elder Yun's movements were calm and natural, like flowing clouds and flowing water. He carried the bone porcelain teapot that originated in England and symbolized status and power. It was known as the king of porcelain. He poured the faint yellow tea into the teacup on the snake-striped wooden coffee table. A refreshing fragrance quickly spread out. If there was no such fragrance, it would be entangled with the sandalwood fragrance in the hall over the hall of the hall.
"Good tea."
Lin Fengxue picked up the cup, took a deep breath of tea and smiled in admiration.
"Uncle Lin, this is an authentic top-grade red robe. Even Master is reluctant to drink it alone. Today, I can taste it. I've also touched your light."
Yun Qiuping chuckled.
"Hippy smiling face, what does it look like!"
Elder Yun frowned slightly and scolded in a low tone.
"Young man, having vitality is a good thing."
Lin Fengxue smiled, his eyes flashing with caution.
The old man in front of him had been a shadow of the empire for decades.
Many people knew that Wang Tianxiong was the guardian of the empire, but very few knew about the Yun Shanluan.
However, no one who knew this name dared to look down on him in the slightest.
It had always been a mystery who was stronger than Wang Tianxiong. The difference in age between the two was eight years, and Wang Tianxiong was younger. However, when the two of them were competing against each other, Yun Shanluan, who was still in his prime, still had an advantage. However, what made one sigh the most was that the assistance behind Yun Shanluan was not as strong as Wang Tianxiong.
At that time, Almost all the power of the southwestern faction was placed in the grand plan of two successive generations of heads of state, There was no extra strength to support Yun Shanluan. To a certain extent, he was considered a victim. The final outcome was Wang Tianxiong joining the Hidden Dragon Sea Special Agent Brigade at that time, which was the predecessor of the Divine Continent that represented all the dark forces in the empire.
The Yun Shanluan became a shadow of the empire. To be exact, it was a bodyguard.
The empire's best bodyguard.
Not everyone can become bodyguards who have protected the three Policy Bureaux for decades without making any mistakes.
If he hadn't been sent to the Nine Continents Prison because he had made a big mistake, he might still be a shadow by the side of the supreme commander.
In terms of martial power, even though Yun Shanluan was old, he was still the divine needle of the southwest faction. And this divine needle had suppressed countless trump cards of the southwest faction over the years.
The recent upsurge in Nine Continents City, All forces were in turmoil, After twenty years of silence, the royal family finally made a move. The king left side by side. When the War God King entered the capital, the huge pressure was firmly on Lin Fengxue. He almost couldn't breathe. After much thought, he still came to the Nine Continents Prison. Today, even if he couldn't take away the Cloud Mountain Divine Needle, he still had to pull out a few trump cards.
On the sofa, Yun Shanluan silently took a sip of the tea in his cup and smiled. He slowly said, "The southwest often comes to see me. He sent me the tea and said that he stole it from you. This time, he stuffed it into me for more than half a jin."
"I can't even steal half a kilogram of top-grade red robes from him."
Lin Fengxue shook her head with a smile, and the pride in her eyes flashed.
Southwest Lin Clan. Southwest Lin Clan.
Lin Fengxue's eldest son, The eldest disciple of Yun Shanluan, In the eyes of many people, This young master of the Lin Clan was completely capable of fighting against Wang Tongtian, the eldest son of the Imperial Clan. In the next few years, he would take over from Wang Tianxiong and become the new guardian of the empire. He would bless the Lin Clan in the southwest and resist the pressure of the new leadership of the empire, which was dominated by the royal clan, two years later together with the political giants of the southwest faction.
Yun Shanluan took another sip of tea, put down his teacup and leaned against the sofa.
This time, he finally faced Lin Fengxue with his head lowered.
It was a face that hadn't been maintained after enduring the wind and frost. It was thin, wrinkled, and even had some old age spots. Everything was like an ordinary old man, but what was extraordinary was the ferocious scar that spread from his chin to his forehead!
The scar was abnormally straight, as if it had been sliced by a sword. The wound was extremely deep, forming a straight line that almost split his entire face in half. With any change in expression on his face, that ferocious scar would slowly wriggle, ugly and terrifying.
Lin Fengxue looked at the scar on Yun Shanluan's face with a complicated expression. She wanted to ask him to come out of the mountain, but she couldn't say anything.
Yun Shanluan noticed Lin Fengxue's gaze and smiled indifferently. He reached out to touch the scars on his face and mocked himself, "After so many years, I've gotten used to him touching his face. In my spare time, touching his face is not bad. At the very least, it can let me know that there are some things I haven't finished yet, so I can only live a few more years if I have worries in my heart."
"Elder Yun is in good health. It won't be a problem for him to live another 30 to 50 years."
Lin Fengxue smiled and absent-mindedly drank a mouthful of fragrant tea.
Yun Shanluan did not comment. After a moment of silence, he said indifferently, "How is it over there now?"
"Wang Fuyu left, "The side-by-side palace has changed into the War God Palace. We don't know much about him for now. Deputy Prime Minister Chen returned to the royal family a while ago and hasn't returned yet. A few days ago, Tangning also went back. In addition, Lin Congjun has been staying in Nine Continents City to communicate with the various members of the royal family. The atmosphere is very tense now. If I'm not wrong, they should be going to counterattack."
Lin Fengxue carefully pondered his words, "Changing Wang Fuyu to the War God King should be a signal from the Emperor. Just this title alone can make people think of many things. If they want to counterattack, it should be the War God King at the core."
"War God King?"
Yun Shanluan muttered to himself, his tone somewhat confused.
"War God Lin Xuanyuan assassinated the Emperor in London three years ago. At that time, the specifics were unknown, but the result was that both sides were injured. I just don't know why Lin Xuanyuan suddenly joined the royal family three years later. It's completely inexplicable."
Lin Fengxue explained, However, his eyes were somewhat confused. The war god and the emperor, This was a question that he had been unable to understand for a long time, Whoever killed his adopted son, Lin Xiao, It was definitely Lin Xuanyuan. It had nothing to do with the Lin Clan in the Nine Continents City. On that night in the Glorious Divine Continent, the one who fought with the Emperor in his study was definitely Lin Xuanyuan. In other words, the famous War God His Highness had saved his life more than a month ago. How did he change his stance and become the royal prince in just a few days?
Why did he save him that night?
Which one was this?
"Impossible."
Yun Shanluan shook his head. '"I've heard of this before. I don't believe that he and the Emperor were both injured. There are only two possibilities. Either the assassination three years ago was originally an act, or the Emperor was severely injured by Lin Xuanyuan because of something else. Otherwise, there's no reason for the Emperor to be injured by a killer, even if that killer is a so-called god."
"Master is right, God? Bullshit. Tsk tsk, War God King, how famous is he? If I have the chance, I would like to see how invincible this God of Killers is. Master, let me out and let me follow Uncle Lin to meet the experts of the royal family."
Yun Qiuping sneered, his face filled with arrogance and disdain.
"Bastard!"
Yun Shanluan heavily snorted and coldly looked at his little disciple, "Even if he is not an opponent of the Emperor, is he still not your opponent? How difficult do you think it is to crush someone who can become the king of the Imperial Clan? I don't know the heavens and earth!"
Yun Qiuping took a sip of tea embarrassedly and looked at Lin Fengxue.
Lin Fengxue did not speak for Yun Qiuping this time. Instead, she said with a serious expression, "Lin Xuanyuan is indeed very strong. Qiuping, you are not his opponent for the time being. There have been many capable people in the imperial clan over the past twenty years. No one can underestimate anyone who can become the king of the imperial clan. In my opinion, he is definitely not weaker than Wang Fuyu, or even stronger."
Yun Qiuping rolled his eyes and curled his lips in dissatisfaction.
Yun Shanluan shook his head helplessly and said indifferently, "Unruly is difficult to become a great weapon."
Lin Fengxue smiled and said, "Old Yun, young people always have to temper themselves. It's good and bad for him to always be with them. I think it's better if I take Qiuping for two years. Why don't we let him go into the thunder and stay with the southwest? The two of them also have some care."
Yun Qiuping's eyes lit up and he was eager to try. He was very interested in following Lin Fengxue, but he was simply eager to join the Thunder Squad.
Lin Xiinan was his eldest senior brother. He had loved him since he was young, and they were all young people. If he could join the Thunder Squad, his life would definitely be extremely comfortable.
"Are you here today to take this brat away?"
Yun Shanluan's gaze immediately shifted to Lin Fengxue and asked calmly.
"That's not true. If possible, I would like to invite Teacher Yun and disciple Yun out of the mountain. Qiu Ping will go to the Thunder Squad, Vice Captain. Furthermore, I would like to ask Elder Yun to protect my safety. The Thirteen Disciples are also useful."
Lin Fengxue looked at Yun Shanluan seriously. Seriously speaking, he had intended for the thirteen disciples to fly alone, However, with the third change of name of the side-by-side palace, his heart became more and more uneasy. War God Wang Lin Xuanyuan, very few people knew about this legendary figure in the Dark World, but he was famous for his battle prowess. Lin Fengxue did not know how terrifying he was, but if he could get Yun Shanluan out of the mountain, then he had nothing to worry about.
Silence.
The hall instantly quieted down.
Yun Shanluan pondered silently.
Lin Fengxue and Yun Qiuping had looks of anticipation on their faces. The former was expecting Yun Shanluan to come out of the mountain, while the latter was expecting Master to let him go.
"I'm old. It's not that I can't fight, but I want to risk my life to be more valuable."
After a long time, Yun Shanluan sighed and shook his head.
This was undoubtedly a rejection.
Lin Fengxue remained silent. He was not surprised by this result. The clan had accumulated power and the martial arts had accumulated strength. The royal family was typical of both. Yun Shanluan was already in his twilight years. Although his combat strength was still terrifying, every time he made a move, it would be a huge drain on him. Obviously, he did not think that Lin Xuanyuan was worth his life for the time being.
Not even a prince was worth it, and it was clear who Yun Shanluan's ultimate goal was.
"Then does Elder Yun have a suitable candidate on hand? I won't hide it from you. Recently, I have been lacking some talents."
Lin Fengxue said tentatively.
"There are a few decent criminals, can I show you around?"
Yun Shanluan said listlessly.
"No need, I still believe in Elder Yun."
Lin Fengxue hurriedly smiled as her heart gradually relaxed.
"Then leave this matter to Qiu Ping. In a week, I'll have him look for you."
Yun Shanluan nodded and lowered her head to drink tea again.
"Uncle Lin, don't worry. There are a few good monsters here. They want to make a contribution, but they are crazy. They have a chance to be free. I guarantee that they will obey. Leave this matter to me."
Yun Qiuping, who was so excited that he trembled slightly, did not say a word and set up a guarantee.
This was the greatest value of Yun Shanluan and Nine Continents Prison!
The Nine Continents Prison held the most complicated criminals in the empire. To put it exaggeratedly, this was the place where there was no shortage of first-rate experts or even super experts. There was no term of imprisonment here, and their only chance to see the light of day was to serve the southwest faction.
The prison has always been in the hands of the southwest faction, and in recent years it has been suppressed by the Yun Shanluan, and the pace of training these top criminals has obviously increased.
Strength reigned supreme.
These top criminals didn't mind lowering their arrogant heads in exchange for a chance to be free when faced with absolute strength.
Even if the shadows of swords and swords were behind this freedom, blood was evil.
When Lin Fengxue came here, she was able to take away a few good monsters from Yun Qiuping's mouth. It was also considered as opening a few cards. It wasn't for nothing.
He smiled and agreed. He drank another cup of tea with Yun Shanluan and then left.
Yun Qiuping sent Lin Fengxue out with a warm smile. Seeing the few Mercedes-Benz cars leaving the Nine Continents Prison, the smile on his face quickly cooled down. He quickly walked into the villa, looked at the old man who was still drinking tea, and whispered to Master.
"I don't blame you."
Yun Shanluan played with the teacup in his hand and said indifferently, "You've been by my side for so many years. I have no objection to you wanting to go out for a walk, but are you sure you want to go to Thunder?"
"Yes."
After a long time, Yun Qiuping softly said, "I know what Master means. The Divine Continent Guardian is about to be selected. Senior Brother will most likely enter directly. The lightning he left behind will be mine, and it will definitely be mine!"
"It's good that you understand."
Yun Shanluan gestured for him to sit down, She personally poured him a cup of tea. "Also, you must understand one thing, "Outside, your status as my disciple won't help you much, and it will probably bring you more trouble. Remember, in the outside world, my status is no longer the shadow of the empire, but an old fellow who was sent here to guard the prison after making a mistake. Everything in the Nine Continents Prison must not be revealed to outsiders!"
"I know, Master."
Yun Qiuping nodded cautiously. After a moment of silence, he smiled, "I don't think Master was sent here. Furthermore, even if she was sent here, it would be enough for so many years. In almost twenty years, no one in the Nine Continents Prison has ever been able to escape. No one from the southwest faction dares to forget this credit."
"Do you really think that no one can escape from here?!"
Yun Shanluan seemed to have thought of something and subconsciously touched the scar on his face. His eyes were cold.
"Someone can escape?"
Yun Qiuping suddenly stood up, and the tea spilled on his trousers without him noticing.
Yun Shanluan coldly looked at him and roared, "Sit down!"
Yun Qiuping's face was filled with shock. He slowly sat on the sofa, hesitating and hesitating. Finally, he couldn't help but ask softly, "Master, who escaped?"
This was definitely a secret.
Even the supreme leader and Lin Fengxue definitely shouldn't know about this secret.
Yun Qiuping didn't recognize himself as an outsider, so he finally asked.
Yun Shanluan looked at him with a gloomy expression. She spun the teacup in her hand and remained silent for a long time before saying indifferently, "It's a five-year-old child."
