After the grand and sumptuous welcome banquet.

In a secret meeting room in the capital of New City, sitting on sofa chairs, Zhou Ming and Jiang Ruonan had an in-depth face-to-face conversation.

Through a series of insidious inquiries, what Zhou Ming wanted to know most was, of course, Jiang Ruonan's purpose.

Her purpose in returning to Zhenlin City.

It was impossible for her to come all the way here just to teach herself a lesson. As the controller of a force, to boycott a small grudge in the past and come here specifically to crush an ant to death, this kind of approach would be unfair to a superior person. It is very naive and unqualified.

She must have a bigger and clearer goal besides just speaking out.

"If there is anything we can do for you, Zhenlin City is willing to do its best to serve the fairy."

Zhou Ming lowered his head slightly and said.

There was a sharp pain in my heart.

"What I hate most is the way you know everything and have everything in your hands! I do need you to work for me, but you have to abide by your duty."

"Yes, fairy."

"Call Master!" Jiang Ruonanfeng glared at him and said.

"May all the poisons eat your heart and die." Zhou Ming raised his head with a determined look on his face.

"you--"

Jiang Ruonan was furious. This thing had just been fighting her for more than half an hour because of a naming issue. She asked him to call his master but refused to call him. He activated the heart-eating Gu more than a dozen times but it had no effect. It seemed that he was really not afraid of death. , determined not to change his tune.

This guy's bones are harder than any hard bones she has ever conquered!

Zhou Ming is indeed not afraid of death. Even if this game is not satisfactory, even if he quits early, he will benefit a lot from the foundation he has laid, and there will be no regrets.

In addition, Jiang Ruonan still wants to use him, and it is unlikely that he will kill him because of a little detail... Of course, he cannot control a woman's temper, so he can only think so.

In short, you can use him, but don't try to humiliate him!

Seeing him like this, Jiang Ruonan couldn't help but feel a little angry. Is this still the Zhang Shanhe from before?

In the past, he was very greedy for life and afraid of death. Why did he suddenly become unafraid of death now that he fell into her hands?

Isn’t it said that the older you get, the less courage you get?

On the contrary, you have become bolder.

Or do you really think: I, Jiang Ruonan, will not kill you?

Every time she thought of this, she wanted to activate the Heart-Eating Gu with all her strength, thinking about killing this guy completely, but she stopped at the last moment and decided to try training him a few more times. The more difficult the training, the more interesting it would be.

What's more, this guy is really of great use to her.

Therefore, although she was unhappy, Jiang Ruonan still revealed her purpose.

"My Xiaoyao Palace has been jointly besieged by the nine major sects of Dongyuan Continent in recent years. I can only resist and retreat to the desperate position, but it cannot last for long and requires external assistance..."

Jiang Ruonan briefly talked about the difficulties she encountered.

Dongyuanzhou.

Xiaoyao Palace?

Zhou Ming has heard of these two terms.

Dong Yuan Continent is located to the east of Zhong Yuan Continent. It is a super continent with an area ten times larger than Zhong Yuan Continent.

With a radius of nearly a million miles, there are nine giant sects on the main spiritual veins, and hundreds of small and medium-sized sects are scattered on the multiple branch spiritual veins.

There are countless human cities in the surrounding area.

Xiaoyao Palace is a medium-sized sect on an important branch of Dongyuan Continent. There is a Jedi land next to it, called the "Demon Saliva Sea". The Demon Saliva Sea covers an area of ​​nearly one million square kilometers, exudes a foul smell, and is full of deadly poisonous gas. Ordinary people, even monks below the Gudan stage, cannot stay for a long time.

The sect of Xiaoyao Palace is half good and half evil. It cannot be called a decent sect, nor can it be completely called an evil sect. It is somewhere between good and evil. It occasionally does some good things and does a lot of bad things.

For example, among the techniques circulated in Xiaoyao Palace, there are many cultivation methods that are obviously evil in nature, such as the method of collecting tonic, the method of combining body and dual cultivation, the method of furnace refining, etc. The normal methods are also practiced by many disciples, but most of them Most people still regard Xiaoyao Palace as an evil sect.

In addition, Dongyuanzhou is the largest trading partner of Zhenlin City and even the Hundred Cities Alliance, with annual trade transactions exceeding 10 billion spiritual coins.

Xiaoyao Palace is also one of the most important customers of the Baicheng Chamber of Commerce. Baicheng Merchants also imports thousands of tons of "magic saliva" from Xiaoyao Palace every year, because magic saliva is somewhat similar to petroleum and is not easy to burn itself, but after high-temperature distillation Finally, products such as gas, paraffin, asphalt, etc. can be obtained, which is a very important industrial raw material.

In addition, although Xiaoyao Palace is only a medium-sized sect, the previous sect leaders are very powerful and have extremely high cultivation levels. They are one of the top ten strongest people in Dongyuan Continent.

Now that Jiang Ruonan has become the palace master of Xiaoyao Palace, it is unclear whether his cultivation level is higher or lower than that of the previous palace masters, but he must not be underestimated.

But what Zhou Ming found strange was: As a medium-sized sect, how could Xiaoyao Palace attract siege from nine major sects?

What on earth did Xiaoyao Palace do that was so outrageous that it provoked such backlash and opposition, and even the powerful forces joining forces to attack Xiaoyao Palace, which was not very strong?

Facing Zhou Ming's doubts, Jiang Ruonan blushed slightly, feeling embarrassed and annoyed, and told him to shut up and stop asking. But without knowing the specific situation, how could Zhou Ming give her advice?

"I just copied the academy system established in Zhenlin City to Xiaoyao Palace and carried out some sect reforms."

"The reform of the college system is an internal change and will not cause external backlash." Zhou Ming shook his head.

"I expanded the territory of Xiaoyao Palace and swallowed up more than ten surrounding mountain gates."

"This kind of expansion will lead to counterattacks from nearby large sects, but it will not cause the nine major sects to counterattack at the same time."

"My men found a soul stone mine in the mortal world with a reserve of over 100,000 tons, which can produce Lingyuan guns and Lingyuan cannons in large quantities. I formed a million-strong monk army and captured Thousands of mortal cities, thousands of immortals from various sects killed..."

Jiang Ruonan revealed the main reason.

Zhou Ming was stunned when he heard this.

There was a roar in my head.

How many Spiritual Essence Guns and Spirit Essence Cannons can be made from more than 100,000 tons of Soul Stone Mine?

Generally, making a spirit essence gun requires a soul stone that is dozens of grams larger than a pigeon egg.

To make a medium-power spirit cannon, a soul stone that is as big as a fist and weighs two kilograms is needed.

And what is the concept of one hundred thousand tons?

Enough to create an army of pure gun-like monks with over 100 million people.

And it is indeed only a matter of time before a million-strong monk army can wipe out a mortal city on a continent...if other sects don't stop it.

Then, the reason why the nine major sects joined forces to deal with Xiaoyao Palace is also very simple: the power of one or two sects can no longer limit Xiaoyao Palace, and they must attack together.

Zhou Ming shook his head repeatedly, feeling sad, and couldn't help but said: "You are too impatient. There is nothing wrong with the strategy you adopted, but why don't you wait until you have accumulated enough strength before taking action? Your cultivation level is so high, and you still have a building. The giant soul stone mine has such a good foundation, but..."

Seeing Jiang Ruonan's face sinking like blood and his eyes showing murderous intent, Zhou Ming closed his mouth and said no more.

I could only sigh in my heart: One hundred thousand tons of soul stones, how great would it be if I gave them all to myself?

At the same time, he also had some doubts about Jiang Ruonan's IQ. Doesn't this woman know the importance of keeping a low profile and accumulating strength?

Or was she in a fit of enthusiasm, convinced that her opponents would not join forces, was too optimistic, made a mistake in judgment, and ended up being slapped in the face by reality?

He shook his head. In this world, there are many people who think they are smart, but they don't want all their opponents to regard them as fools. Self-centered ideas can only attract unanimous criticism.

Of course, today's Zhenlin City is also suffering from the unanimous suppression of more than a dozen sects, including Chixing Mountain, Guanglei Mountain, Qingyun Mountain, etc., but he is convinced that the balance of victory is tilting on his side. As long as the time comes, these hostile sects will be defeated. The power will disappear in an instant.

In fact, Jiang Ruonan also realized where she was wrong. She didn't want to dwell on this issue for too long. She urgently needed to recruit reinforcements to break the siege of Xiaoyao Palace and repel the nine major sects.

"Give me the monk team, the Lingyuan Cannon, and the Lingyuan Battleship that are rumored outside, and follow me to Dongyuan Continent. I will be of use!"

Jiang Ruonan said in a commanding tone.

Zhou Ming shook his head and said: "I will not lend you these personnel and equipment for the time being."

"Don't agree? Do you want to die?"

Jiang Ruonan's eyes flashed with murderous intent, he bit his jade teeth and activated the Heart-Eating Gu.

Zhou Ming frowned and continued, "Unless you can help me solve a little trouble first."

"As a slave, how dare you negotiate terms with your master?!"

Jiang Ruonan pushed harder.

Zhou Ming was still talking to himself, his head was covered with sweat, and his speech slowed down: "This little trouble is nothing for you. If you don't help, these hidden dangers will remain in Zhenlin City, and all the monks will be taken away, Zhenlin City will If you are destroyed, who can help you in the future?"

The excruciating pain subsided.
