When it comes to interests, the best choice is not to reason with women, not to talk about relationships with men.
Blue lightning flashed and scarlet flames descended from the sky. On the plaza, Master Hong You's golden figure was like a deity or an immortal buddha. Despite the scarlet flames, blue lightning washed over his body.
When Gu Tianyou arrived, Grandmaster Hong You was chanting the scriptures. Golden runic spiritual power continuously emerged from his body and filled the golden barrier. Xin Jisi raised his wand and condensed the thunderclouds. At the same time, he chanted words to summon the Scarlet Flame True Fire in conjunction with the lightning attack on Grandmaster Hong You.
Grandmaster Hong You's strength was extraordinary, but he clearly hadn't entered the Utmost Saint Grandmaster realm yet. Xin Jisi, who resisted dual-element magic and had a magic treasure-level wand to increase his magic power, had a painful expression on his face. He said, "Benefactor, this poor monk has no grudge against you in the past. Why would Benefactor force you so hard?"
Xin Jisi's hands were unambiguous. The power of both lightning and fire continued to exert pressure. He shouted, "Monk, you stayed in Sacred Leaf Town and didn't leave. You've already interfered with my affairs. That traitor Yang Jiuxiao sent you here to ruin my affairs. How can I let him do as he pleases?"
Grandmaster Hong You was merciful. Gu Tianyou had always respected him. Although he did not accept his invitation, he did not want to see him hurt. The Life Treasure Sun Dragon Tree appeared and separated the two of them.
The Treasure Sun Dragon Tree suddenly appeared, golden light dazzling between the two of them, and both of them had no choice but to withdraw their divine abilities.
"Gu Tianyou, there's nothing for you here!" Xin Jisi shouted loudly, "This bald thief was invited by that traitor Yang Jiuxiao to ruin my business. I must save him today."
"Big Sister Xin, I'm too lazy to interfere in matters between you and Master." Gu Tianyou stated his position first and then continued, "But I have to take care of your troubles in Sacred Leaf Town. With your two abilities, you can start a big fight. Can I still have this Sacred Leaf Town?"
Xin Jisi said, "This thieving monk secretly contacted Yao Gonglin to take away the three thousand border troops. You still don't know, do you?"
"Is there such a thing?" Gu Tianyou glanced at Master Hong You and said, "Master, is what she said true?"
"How could there be such a thing?" Grandmaster Hong You denied, "I was entrusted by General Yang to pass a few words to General Yao Gonglin."
Xin Jisi said, "Tyrant, your Buddhist sect cultivates the Grand Dao of Reincarnation of Karma. If you lie, you will enter hell. Do you dare to say what Yang Jiuxiao sent you to see Yao Gonglin for?"
Gu Tianyou turned around and asked, "Master, do you have anything to say?"
Grandmaster Hong chanted the Buddhist name again and said, "This poor monk has nothing to say. What the female benefactor said is all based on conjecture. This poor monk is unwilling to engage in a verbal dispute. Only Yao Gonglin can explain it. Naturally, everything is clear."
Xin Jisi sneered, "Naturally, Yao Gonglin will vent his anger on you all."
Gu Tianyou selfishly admired Yao Gonglin and the loyalty of the three thousand border troops. If what Xin Jisi said was true, then it would be a bit unreasonable for him to handle this matter with three eyes.
Back then, Yao Gonglin and the three thousand border troops were rescued because of Wild Crane's righteous impulse. Later, after the invasion of the Ice Plains barbarians, these people were cut off from returning home. Gu Tianyou had sent people more than once to contact the Northern Army of the Divine Kingdom to pick them up, but there was no response. Later, the situation changed. The Divine Kingdom defeated the barbarians. Because of Myskina, Gu Tianyou changed his mind and forced Yao Gonglin and the others to stay in Sacred Leaf Town. Grandmaster Hong You came over to ask for someone, but Gu Tianyou didn't give him face, so this matter was over.
If it was true, then Gu Tianyou couldn't help but mutter, what exactly was this three-eyed general going to do? With these thoughts in mind, Gu Tianyou immediately said, "Big Sister Xin's words are a bit arbitrary. Let's invite Yao Gonglin over first and ask him about it."
Bai Su brought some people to summon Yao Gonglin and the others. Not long after, they returned alone. Report to Gu Tianyou that Yao Gonglin and the three thousand border troops are no longer in the camp, and the Asian guards responsible for surveillance have been killed.
Gu Tianyou was instantly enraged. He turned around and asked Grandmaster Hong, "Grandmaster, what exactly did you say to Yao Gonglin?"
Xin Jisi sneered, "What else can I say? I'm naturally sending a letter to Yao Gonglin and letting him escape."
Grandmaster Hong You frowned and said, "This poor monk has only been entrusted by someone to tell Benefactor Yao one thing. The content is that the Eternal Plum Mountain is cold, and the Eternal Snow Mountain is cold."
Xin Jisi said, "Meishan Six Righteousness and Mu Xueting's sworn allegiance have been passed down for eternity. These two sentences also contain the following words: The wine in the pot is at the beginning of warmth, and the golden orchid blood is already hot." She paused for a moment, then raised her voice and said, "Yang Jiuxiao asked the monk to send you a message to secretly inform Yao Gonglin."
Master Hong You lowered his head and remained silent.
Gu Tianyou said, "Big Sister Xin, how did you know this in detail?"
Xin Jisi sneered, "Thank goodness I still treat you as the hero of the world. Why are you so ignorant?" "You were originally planning to win, but in the end, you didn't get a response from Yang Jiuxiao. He didn't give you this face from the beginning. The God's Blessed Army defeated the barbarians in the Ice Plains, but Yang Jiuxiao didn't use the might of victory to drive them out of Sacred Leaf Town. What do you think he can do to you?"
Gu Tianyou rubbed his nose and chuckled, "Big Sister Xin, what you said makes sense."
Xin Jisi continued, "If you hadn't detained his three thousand border troops as a threat, "And he wants you to have a fight with the barbarians in the Ice Plains. I'm afraid the Blessed Army will be at the gates long ago. He sent this monk to rope you in. Apart from hoping to capture Sacred Leaf Town without any bloodshed, he also has a hidden intention to stabilize you. First, he will inform Yao Gonglin and his troops to flee through the monk's message. Guess what he will do next?"
"He wants to take down Sacred Leaf Town?" Gu Tianyou muttered, "This Yang Jiuxiao didn't plan to accommodate me to take root in Sacred Leaf Town from the very beginning!"
Xin Jisi sneered, "Isn't it a little late for you to figure it out now?"
"Yao Gonglin probably hasn't gone far enough to stop them." After Gu Tianyou finished speaking, six streaks of divine light shot into the sky and flew out of Sacred Leaf Town.
Li Zhongkui, Di Haoran, the Black Dragon Emperor, Old Huang, Lingxu Zi and the Golden Scaled Snake Girl joined forces to intercept him. The reason why the two Utmost Saints, one Quasi-Utmost Saint, and the three Peak Great Saints had sent such a powerful lineup was naturally not for the three thousand Border Army and Yao Gonglin. If the Three-eyed Great Sage had already planned this, he would definitely send reinforcements to help Yao Gonglin. This line-up was aimed at their strong reinforcements.
Xin Jisi was shocked."What a big deal, sheriff!"
Gu Tianyou said, "You haven't told me yet. How did you know about Yang Jiuxiao's actions?"
Xin Jisi said, "You should know that I have been keeping a close watch on Yang Jiuxiao's movements. The three thousand border troops and Yao Gonglin in Sacred Leaf Town are naturally under my close surveillance. When this monk approached the camp quietly, he was already detected by my people. After I received the message, I came to settle the score with him. That's why I knew about their plot."
This explanation sounded reasonable. Gu Tianyou was worried, but the most important thing right now was to get the three thousand border troops and Yao Gonglin back. Therefore, she did not probe into the flaws in her explanation.
Xin Jisi suddenly asked, "What happened when you went to Augustus?"
"Your Highness is very reasonable. I originally wanted to kill a few subordinates to apologize to him, but in the end, he apologized to me very reasonably. We talked very well, so don't even think about this matter." Gu Tianyou said nonsense.
"On the other hand, Yang Jiuxiao, who didn't plan to allow you to settle down in Sacred Leaf Town from the very beginning." Xin Jisi ignored Gu Tianyou's jokes and continued, "On the other hand, I, who was full of sincerity and saved your woman despite friction, should know which side to stand on now, right?"
"En!" Gu Tianyou nodded and said, "I'll catch up to the three thousand border troops and Yao Gonglin and kill them all!"
Xin Jisi was delighted at first, but then he hurriedly stopped him and said, "Don't do this. This Yao Gonglin has six sworn brothers. The power of the formation is boundless. He is a very important person under Yang Jiuxiao, so it would be a pity if he were to be killed like this."
Gu Tianyou said, "Since we are grasshoppers on the same rope, then there are some things we have to say first. I have always been rather arbitrary. For Hu Mofei 's sake, no matter how much I help you, it's fine. However, I don't have to listen to all of you when things happen. For example, if Yao Gong Lin catches him, will he be killed or left behind? Do you understand?"
"Kid surnamed Gu, what do you mean?" Xin Jisi said unhappily, "I kindly helped you and reminded you of Yang Jiuxiao's conspiracy. You sound like I have ulterior motives. Do you still suspect that I let those three thousand people go?"
It wasn't impossible. Sometimes, pushing a boat through the water wasn't necessarily more noble than stabbing into a willow without a heart. Gu Tianyou thought to himself that Master Hong You was a loyal elder. Perhaps those few words were just words of warning, or perhaps they were just reminders to Yao Gonglin not to forget Mei Shan's sworn friendship. The escape of the three thousand frontier troops and Yao Gonglin might have been arranged by Yang Jiuxiao, but it was also possible that Xin Jisi had played a trick to completely cut off the relationship between Sacred Leaf Town and the Northern Army of the Divine Kingdom.
"Whoever killed me, no matter who did it, will have to pay the price!" Gu Tianyou waved his hand to stop Xin Jisi. He said coldly, "Don't tell me that's just a nobody. Since you chose to join my camp and are willing to fight to the death for the mission I entrusted to you, then it's my brother's family. In this world where we compete, there are fewer and fewer things worth protecting and cherishing. In order to make my life meaningful, I drew a bottom line for myself."
"Even if it's just for a nobody, I won't hesitate to give up a valuable opportunity." "Is that what you call meaningful values?" Xin Jisi scoffed.
Gu Tianyou chuckled and ignored Xin Jisi's doubts. He turned to Master Hong You and said, "Master, no matter what, I will always believe you. From the looks of it, it is either the Three-eyed Great Sage who tricked you or this Eldest Sister Xin who tricked me. Tell me, who is more likely to deceive who?"
Without waiting for Grandmaster Hong to reply, a black light flew over from the northeast. It was Di Haoran."Big brother, something happened. The three thousand troops were trapped below the coastline by Nicholas and Prozyneski."
