In a palace at Xiaoyao Outer Gate, 6 Feichen and 6 Mengyao and 6 Mengyao sat opposite each other.

Before 6 Mengyao could ask, 6 Feichen took the initiative to speak and said, "Mengyao, do you know why Zhang Luliang is just an outer deacon, but is it worth letting the inner elder intervene, and I can't deal with him?"

When her father mentioned this, 6 Mengyao was slightly stunned. Of course she remembered that it was because Zhang Luliang secretly attacked Luo Xiu during the assessment. This behavior was considered to be a violation of the rules. His father personally ordered him to be imprisoned in a water prison, abolish his cultivation and suffered from the pain of piercing the pipa bone.

However, as soon as Zhang Luliang was locked in the water prison, someone held the handwriting of the elder of the inner sect and asked to release the person. The elder of the inner sect has a higher status than the lord of the outer sect, so 6 Feichen could only release the person.

"Daughter doesn't understand." 6 Mengyao shook her head in confusion.

The status of the inner sect elder is higher than that of the outer sect leader, and Zhang Luliang is just a mere deacon in the outer sect, and his status is even less comparable. How could it be worthy of the inner sect elder's personal rescue?

If Zhang Luliang really had an inner sect elder as the backstage, how could he be a small deacon in the outer sect?

6 Mengyao is smart. Although she can't figure it out, she can guess it. This may be related to the change in her father's attitude and the special circumstances he mentioned.

6 Feichen took a deep breath and his expression seemed a little solemn. As the ruler of the outer sect, he was in a high position. 6 Mengyao hadn't seen such an expression on her father's face for a long time.

"Not long ago, the head of the sect returned from the Jiufeng Mountains, but was seriously injured. It has not been too long since then." As soon as 6 Feichen opened his mouth, he gave a shocking news.

The leader he mentioned is naturally the leader of Xiaoyao Sect. Those who can take the position of the leader must be the strongest person in Xiaoyao Sect!

"The head of the sect was injured, and there was not much time?" 6 Mengyao looked shocked, "The head of the sect is a powerful man who has entered the realm of kingdom in martial arts. How could he be so injured?"

As for the Jiufeng Mountains mentioned by my father, Mengyao has never heard of them.

"My Xiaoyao Sect is dominant in Yunlong County, and it is inseparable from the powerful martial arts cultivation of the sect, so this news has been blocked and only a few people in the sect know about it."

6 Feichen's eyes were filled with a warning, "If the news spreads, not only some forces in Yunlong County will be ready to move, but the forces of other counties and regions in the Tianwu Kingdom may also do things that are unfavorable to my Xiaoyao Sect."

Upon hearing this, 6 Mengyao nodded cautiously, saying that she would not tell anyone else the news.

6 Feichen pondered for a while, then continued: "The injury of the leader is irreversible. Once he dies, Xiaoyao Sect must not be without a leader. The next leader will be selected from several elders. Among the elders of the inner sect, the two elders have the highest cultivation and prestige."

"These two elders are Disigu and Kong Qingyu respectively. The two elders have almost the same cultivation level. They also have disciples and supporters in both internal and external sects. There will be some competition for the ownership of this sect."

"Now, both the inside and outside, whether it is the deacon, the guardian, or the elder, have already stood up and chose the elders they support, and your father and I support Elder Kong Qingyu."

After hearing these words, 6 Mengyao finally understood.

My father is a supporter of the Kong Qingyu faction, and the outer deacon Zhang Luliang is obviously a supporter of the Elder Desigu faction.

Although Zhang Luliang has a low status, at this critical moment, Elder Disigu naturally wants to protect the people of his faction to gain more loyal support and let those who support him know that choosing to support Disigu is definitely the right choice.

6 Mengyao didn't expect that this was actually mixed with the struggle for power and profit among inner factions.

Elder Kong Qingyu is highly respected and is the mentor of her father 6 Feichen. As a disciple, he naturally has to stand on the side of his master at this critical moment.

Although the status of the outer sect is not as good as that of the inner sect, it is also of great importance. Therefore, the support of 6 Feichen will play a great role in whether Elder Kong Qingyu can obtain the position of head.

"Although Master has my support, among the nine elders in the inner sect, there are only two who support him."

Speaking of this, 6 Feichen sighed and said, "Master, he treats me as much as a mountain. If it weren't for the master's guidance in the past, how could I have been today as I 6 Feichen?"

"But the status of the inner sect elders is respected, and only two masters support it, while Na Disigu has as many as five supporters. If there is no accident, the master will definitely lose this battle between the head of the sect."

"And once you lose, Di Sigu will take the position of head sect, and he will inevitably suppress the faction of Master, including your father, and I will also be implicated, and I will be lucky and lucky every day!"

Listening to his father's statement, Mengyao could feel the interests in it.

Among the overlord forces like Xiaoyao Sect, it is normal to fight for power and profit. It is normal for the winner to suppress the factions of the losers to stabilize their status.

But what is all this related to Luo Xiu’s affairs?

Just as 6 Mengyao was thinking about this question, 6 Feichen slowly spoke and said, "Of the nine elders in the inner sect, three elders have the best relationship. They are sworn brothers and sisters, and they were born and died several times when they were young."

"One of the elders has a grandson named Gou Jinchuan, who is deeply loved by those three elders and is now an inner disciple."

"Elder Gou came to me a few days ago and said that his grandson had long loved you. If he could make a relationship, Elder Gou would convince his two brothers and sisters to stand on your ancestor's side."

Now that he has said this, even if Mengyao is stupid, she can understand her father's meaning, let alone her smart Bingxue.

"Father, are you going to use me as a tool for exchanging rights?"

6 Mengyao was anxious on the spot, stood up suddenly, and looked at her father with a pretty face.

6 Feichen shook his head and smiled bitterly. No one knew his daughter better than him. He had known for a long time that once he told this, she would definitely be like this.

"Mengyao, your mother passed away early. Since childhood, my father has never opposed any of your ideas. At that time, your Huoyang Juezhi could not be cured. You had to practice the Ice Heart Art of the Snow Valley of Tianshan to suppress it, but you asked you to marry into the Snow Valley of Tianshan. You would rather die than run to Qingyun City, and your father did not force you."

"But this time, once your ancestor fails to compete for the position of the leader, maybe your father will have to worry about his life!" 6 Feichen said with a sigh.

"Dad, I..." 6 Mengyao didn't know what to say for a moment. She couldn't ignore her father's life and death, but the price was to marry Gou Jinchuan, which also made her unable to accept it.

She originally thought that she could not have a future, and the Huoyang Jue Mai made it difficult for her to live beyond twenty-five years old, but Luo Xiu cured her Huoyang Jue Mai, which not only gave her the future, but also gave her an unforgettable feeling.

For 6 Mengyao, she would rather die than betray her feelings with Luo Xiu.

But... if my father is implicated and his life is worried because of his persistence, then wouldn't he be unfilial?

On one hand, I love my father the most since I was a child, and on the other hand, I pursue happiness.

How should I choose?

6 Mengyao was at a loss for a moment and her mind was blank.

6 Feichen also stood up and stroked her cheek, "Dad loves you the most, so he will naturally not force you to marry someone he doesn't like. If you really want to be with Luo Xiu, Dad will arrange for you and Luo Xiu to leave Yunlong County and not let you be implicated."

6 Mengyao's delicate body trembled, and her father was more concerned about herself at this time, which made her heart move and feel a little guilty.

"Father, I...I want to think about it carefully." 6 Mengyao was in a mess.

"Okay, Dad gives you time to consider, but time is tight, so I can only give you three days." 6 Feichen said.

...

After 6 Feichen and 6 Mengyao left, Luo Xiu felt inexplicably irritable and uneasy.

Until late at night, he slowly opened his eyes and the injuries he suffered from duel with Lin Jingyun in his life and death were completely recovered.

The ability to directly repair the life veins is able to recover quickly in a short time as long as it is not a fatal injury.

But the depression, irritability and anxiety that lingers in my heart has not dissipated for a long time.

The battle with Lin Jingyun made Luo Xiu understand a truth.

When fighting for life and death, the level of cultivation cannot completely determine a person's combat ability. A powerful formation treasure can play a decisive role at critical moments.

Just like the third-level formation treasure used by Lin Jingyun, it stimulates golden sword energy that is comparable to the attack of innate martial artists. If it were replaced by other Qihai Seventh Levels or even Qihai Eight Levels, it would be almost impossible to resist.

Of course, formation treasures are expensive, and not everyone has powerful formation treasures.

But there is no doubt that the formation treasures are indeed possible to fight back at critical moments or capsize in the gutter.

There are roughly three types of formation treasures, one of which is aggressive, such as the golden ball used by Lin Jingyun.

Another type is defensive, such as the blue crystal bracelet given to him by the Lord of Qingyun Palace, which was later transferred to 6 Mengyao by him.

The third type is auxiliary, such as the spirit gathering array, etc. Generally, auxiliary array treasures are also called formation devices.

Among Lin Jingyun's storage wrist guards, there are more than 100 low-grade vital energy stones, a Qi refining pill, a fifth-grade sword technique, and a second-level spirit gathering array device.

These things are basically of no value to Luo Xiu.

However, Luo Xiu found a jade pendant inside, which was actually a defensive third-level formation treasure. It was activated by true energy and could release a wooden shield, which had the ability to defend against attacks and had the effect of healing.

Among the many disciples of Xiaoyao Outer Sect, Lin Jingyun has a low status and is not very strong. Logically speaking, there shouldn't be such a precious formation treasure.

Thinking that the notarization of this life-and-death duel was Zhang Luliang, Luo Xiu could even think that there must be that old guy doing something behind the scenes.

"I was also the Zhang family who took the initiative to provoke me. An old guy who has lived for more than a hundred years. It would be fine if he dealt with me indiscriminately, but he still wanted to kill me everywhere. When I have the strength, I will find a chance to kill you, an old man!"

When he thought of Zhang Luliang targeting him everywhere, a fierce light flashed in Luo Xiu's eyes.

He is not a rude person because he knows very well that in this world, kindness will only be regarded as cowardly and bullied.

Whether it was the violent beating Zhang Hao in Qingyun Martial Palace, the deposed Zhang Hai, the kowtow pressing Zhao Liang's head, or the later killing people in Shuimu Mountain and Baqi Mountain, the arrogance and ruthlessness in Luo Xiu's character was actually fully revealed.
