#188 - Land Signature

Less than a breath had passed since Lu Yuan finished speaking.

Zhuge Qing slowly stood up and said.

"Brother Lu, we at Tianji Pavilion have no choice but to make this connection!"

"When I return to the pavilion, I will definitely select hundreds of single virgin female cultivators of the right age!"

"Being able to become a Taoist partner with the Lu family's disciples is indeed a God-given opportunity!"

"Of course, the premise is that they are willing. We are righteous people, so we naturally cannot force them to do anything."

After Zhuge Qing finished speaking, he stopped talking and slowly sat down.

I immediately started thinking about this matter in my mind.

For Zhuge Qing, who knew some secrets of the Lu family.

Anything Lu Yuan said, any decision he made.

He will express his unconditional support!

This was not only due to the strength of the Lu family, but also because of the guess in his mind.

Zhuge Qing still had some doubts about this guess before Lu Yuan entered the quasi-emperor stage.

But now, I have made up my mind.

Lu Yuan must be the reincarnation of the immortal!

In the past, when he and Lu Yuan were both great sages, they had equal confidence.

But ever since he saw Lu Yuanpu kill a cultivator of the same level in seconds as soon as he entered the quasi-emperor level.

He no longer has this kind of confidence.

Zhuge Qing had thought about this more than once: if he were to fight with Lu Yuan, how many of his moves could he block?

Thinking of this, Zhuge Qing also smiled bitterly in his heart.

The emperor's treasure, the holy body, the enlightenment tea, several hidden quasi-emperors, and the emperor's sword!

He was increasingly unable to understand his own Brother Lu.

I am finding it increasingly difficult to understand the Lu family.

In fact, his relationship with Lu Yuan is not as close as outsiders see.

On the contrary, the two had only known each other for a few months.

So, why was Lu Yuan willing to expose some of the Lu family's secrets to him?

Part of this must be trust in oneself.

But most people probably don't care about it...

Lu Yuan has unparalleled confidence in this!

Because he doesn't care about the consequences of exposing these things to the world!

At this moment, Zhuge Qing became more and more frightened the more he thought about it, and his soul trembled for an instant.

However, as a quasi-emperor, he knew all these things very well. There were some things he could do, but naturally there were some things he could not do.

Zhuge Qing knew very well that in the current situation and in this era of great contention, what he had to do was to try his best to establish good relations with the Lu family!

Anything that can bring the Lu family closer is worth it, even if it costs some price!

at the same time.

Lin Pan, Li Ao and Shen Xiaozi were also digesting the information in Lu Yuan's words.

At the same time, he was also shocked by Zhuge Qing's ready agreement.

Master of Tianji Pavilion!

You won’t suffer any loss if you follow him!

After a few breaths, the three of them looked at each other and smiled.

Because no matter how they think about it, there seems to be no harm in this matter!

Then, the three of them said in unison:

"Friend Lu, we have already considered it. This is a great thing!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan also laughed out loud!

An hour later.

"Now that the marriage has been decided, the next step is naturally to form an alliance."

Lu Yuan's voice echoed throughout the hall.

Then everyone fell into heated discussions.

Because of the marriage alliance before, once this matter was concluded, it showed that there were signs of an alliance between the five quasi-emperor forces.

So the alliance went smoothly and naturally.

…

An hour and a half later.

Outside the Tiandao Temple.

After seeing Lin Pan and his companions off, Lu Yuan and Zhuge Qing sat face to face under the pavilion.

While Lu Yuan was brewing the enlightenment tea, he was thinking about another thing.

What are the identities of those men in black?

Looking at the faint mysterious light emanating from Zhuge Qing's body, Lu Yuan sighed inwardly.

Could it be that even the descendants of Emperor Tianji cannot figure out the identities of these people?

After Lu Yuan took a sip of the brewed enlightenment tea, he turned his gaze to the side.

There, four quasi-emperor bodies were lying quietly.

At this time, the black robes that the four people had worn had fallen off, revealing four different faces.

After a long time, Zhuge Qing slowly opened his eyes, looked at Lu Yuan and said in a deep voice.

"Brother Lu, it's a mixed bag."

"Oh? Brother Zhuge, what do you mean?"

"Since these four people are already dead, the faces that are exposed are naturally their own appearances."

"It's a pity that even if I use the power of the entire Tianji Pavilion and the Sky-peeping Method, I can only rely on the remaining aura of these four people to make inferences."

"I still haven't figured out the identities of three of them."

"However, there is a vague connection between these three people. Even if they are not from the same force, they must have some kind of common identity."

After hearing what Zhuge Qing said, Lu Yuan already understood.

These three people are probably not the ones with quasi-emperor forces in Xuanhuang.

Rather, they are some hidden forces that are not well known to the world.

From the sect?

Or maybe they come from three different families, but follow a supreme being?

"What about the other person?"

Lu Yuan didn't think about it anymore and asked.

"The other person is from the same faction as the one you killed earlier. They are from Tingxue Pavilion."

Zhuge Qing spoke in a flat voice and looked at Lu Yuan.

"Tingxue Pavilion?"

"Hasn't Brother Lu heard of it?"

“I’ve heard of it, but I don’t understand it.”

"Since Brother Lu has never known about it, let me explain it in more detail. Tingxue Pavilion is one of the largest dark organizations in Xuanhuang."

"They can be found in all five major regions of Xuanhuang."

"There are five headquarters in each of the five major domains."

"Of course, there are more than just these headquarters. Xuanhuang is so vast, and each major domain is so huge."

"In each large region, in addition to the headquarters, there are branches of various sizes scattered throughout these large regions."

"Just like the Eastern Wasteland, except for the Eastern Wasteland headquarters in Cangzhou, there are also many Tingxue Pavilion branches in other continents."

Listening to Zhuge Qing's words, Lu Yuan couldn't help but feel a little doubtful.

"Since this Tingxue Pavilion is an assassination organization, it must have countless enemies. Why don't the righteous forces in the various regions eradicate it?"

Zhuge Qing chuckled, having already anticipated Lu Yuan's doubts.

"Haha, Brother Lu, you don't know that this Tingxue Pavilion has a very important background. In addition to the headquarters in the five major regions, there is also a main pavilion in an unknown place!"

"From ancient times to the present, no one knows where the headquarters is."

"And the five headquarters are not simple, each headquarters is equivalent to a quasi-emperor-level force!"

"Throughout history, no force has ever successfully conquered Tingxue Pavilion."

"What's more, Tingxue Pavilion is engaged in the business of taking money from others and eliminating disasters for them. The assassination caused by their own grudges should be traced back to the source."

"Haha, what Brother Zhuge said makes sense. But it's another troublesome matter to know who paid to buy the life of my Lu family's genius."

"I'm sorry, Brother Lu. If any of the geniuses were assassinated in Zhongzhou, I would definitely be able to help you find the identity of that person."

"It's a pity that the five headquarters of Tingxue Pavilion do not interfere with each other, but they all obey the orders of the headquarters."

"I see."

Lu Yuan responded, seeming to be thinking about something.

It seems that it was done by Tingxue Pavilion in Donghuang.

"Ahem, to be honest with you, Brother Lu, there is some connection between our Tianji Pavilion and the Zhongzhou headquarters of Tingxue Pavilion."

"If someone hires a killer from Tingxue Pavilion to assassinate a disciple from Tianji Pavilion, not only will he fail to achieve his goal, but he will be reported to Tianji Pavilion by Tingxue Pavilion."

"After this incident, I will do my best to help you investigate and see if I can find any clues about that person."

"Haha, then I would like to thank Brother Zhuge here first."

Lu Yuan laughed loudly and smiled.

And at the same time.

A familiar and pleasant voice sounded in Lu Yuan's mind.
