156: Winning the Snake Lord's Pattern

After receiving Qingtian's definite support, Qingyang's plan was completely disrupted.

Qingyang's previous idea was to work hard to help Hong Zong and the others stabilize their development for the next few years in the coming months.

But now, Qingyang's plan was to completely take over the Flowing Land of Bei Guan City.

Hong Zong is currently fully absorbing zhen crystal, and while his bloodline level is gradually strengthening and evolving, his strength is also steadily advancing towards the peak of the twelfth rank.

For this reason, Qingyang decided that in the next few months, he would no longer arrange anything for Hong Zong, allowing him to break through with peace of mind.

On this day, Qingyang uncharacteristically came in person to Jin Hua's Gatekeeper's Hall in Bei Guan City.

Noticing Qingyang's arrival, Jin Hua and Jin Sheng quickly stepped down from the main seats to welcome Qingyang.

"No need for this. Jin Sheng, go to Lord Kong Yun's residence and invite him over."

Hearing Qingyang's words, both Jin Hua and Jin Sheng's bodies trembled simultaneously.

"You... you're stirring up trouble again? Isn't it too frequent?" Jin Hua said with some hesitation.

At this time, Qingyang, who had shrunk to about five meters, his entire Seven-Colored Bone glittering, slowly climbed onto the main seat, raised his upper body, and his hollow dragon skull looked at Jin Hua.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

Three hundred and sixty Gatekeepers guarded the various defense lines of the entire Bei Guan City, each performing their duties.

And Jin Hua's residence and Kong Yun's residence were separated by several thousand miles.

Half a day later, as Kong Yun, dressed in white and holding an ink painting fan, arrived at Jin Hua's residence looking exactly like a refined young master, he immediately noticed Qingyang.

"Oh~, a rare guest. Why do you have the leisure to come into the city?"

Hearing Kong Yun's teasing, Qingyang's Seven-Colored Bone slightly flickered with streaks of light before he looked at Kong Yun and said, "Recently resolved a major hidden danger? It seems Lord Kong Yun is in a good mood."

"Snap~"

The ink painting fan suddenly opened, and Kong Yun smiled slightly, saying, "Of course? Two thorns that lasted nearly a thousand years were pulled out in just one year. My mood now is even more relaxed than you imagine."

"Relaxed? Since you're so relaxed, let me tell you something not so relaxing. We currently occupy Flowing Land numbers one, three, and four. I want you to contact Flowing Land number two or number five, what do you think?"

As soon as Qingyang finished speaking, Kong Yun's originally nonchalant appearance suddenly became serious.

Then, he said with an extremely solemn expression, "Qingyang, I advise you not to cause trouble recently. The City Lord is already very angry."

"Currently, the Enforcer are conducting a large-scale investigation into Hai Qing's matter. You might not know that these Enforcer are the true core members of Bei Guan City."

"Their minimum strength is fourteenth-rank experts; they are simply not someone you or I can contend with."

Seeing Kong Yun's extremely serious demeanor, Qingyang slowly shook his head.

"I think you misunderstood. My meaning is, trade. Trade with these two Gatekeepers who manage the Flowing Land, understand?"

"Just trade? Then I can think about it." Kong Yun said softly.

Next, Kong Yun also began to think while speaking to Qingyang: "The controller of Flowing Land number five is named Ying She. He and I are the kind who met by chance."

"There isn't much interaction. I can try to contact him. By the way, he is a Divine Beast that already possesses flesh and blood, has the innate ability to control water, and his strength is extremely formidable."

Hearing that a Gatekeeper was actually a Divine Beast, Qingyang couldn't help but have colorful light flicker all over his body.

In the following two days, under Kong Yun's arrangement, the Divine Beast named Ying She also came to Qingyang's residence, showing great respect.

From afar, the moment Qingyang felt the aura of a thirteenth-rank peak, he quickly got up and went outside to welcome Lord Ying She.

On the other hand, when Ying She noticed Qingyang, he immediately burst into laughter and said in a very familiar tone, "This must be the Qingyang that Gatekeeper Kong Yun spoke of."

"Impressive, impressive. With the strength of the early thirteenth rank, you can make even Lord Kong Yun unable to help but befriend you. I suppose Lord Qingyang's strength must be very strong."

Hearing Ying She's words, Qingyang immediately smiled and said, "Not at all, Gatekeeper Kong Yun is just being generous."

At this moment, as Qingyang, Ying She, and Kong Yun walked into the hall, Ying She, after glancing at Jin Hua and Jin Sheng not far away, suddenly swung his snake tail and directly closed the hall door.

This action instantly made both Qingyang and Kong Yun unable to help but become alert.

It must be known that a thirteenth-rank peak Divine Beast, Ying She, was the strongest in this hall at the moment, and his every move would inevitably attract everyone's attention.

On the other hand, Ying She seemed to not notice Qingyang and Kong Yun's vigilance, and still smiled indifferently, saying, "Hahaha, don't be nervous."

"Kong Yun, we've known each other for over a thousand years, haven't we? Although we don't interact much, I know that to be able to live until today, who can be worse than whom?"

"Alright, we're all thousand-year-old foxes, so let's stop playing tricks. Let me guess what you invited me here for this time?"

As he spoke, Ying She had already begun to slowly swim inside the hall, occasionally staring at Qingyang and Kong Yun in thought.

"Hai Qing's death should have been done by the two of you, right? Let me guess, you and Hai Qing don't get along, which is known throughout Bei Guan City."

"But since everyone knows this, you definitely couldn't make a move. Then the one who made the move could only be this brother Qingyang. I myself am a Divine Beast."

"With my combat power, even at the mid-thirteenth rank, I would have the ability to kill Hai Qing. The strength of Fierce Beasts cannot be measured by realm. I shouldn't be wrong about this. Brother Qingyang, impressive."

Hearing Ying She's analysis, Qingyang's entire bone body trembled slightly, and Kong Yun's pupils also slightly contracted.

In the end, it was still Qingyang who spoke, saying, "Continue."

In the center of the hall, Ying She seemed to have confirmed his guess and continued, "The two of you, I can be very certain that Brother Qingyang's power has never appeared here before."

"Then it's definitely impossible for him to have formed enmity with us Gatekeepers. Eliminating all possibilities, there is only one possibility left."

"You are helping Kong Yun remove obstacles. You are in a cooperative relationship. So what are you doing it for? According to the golden records, Jin Hua, as a Gatekeeper,"

"his position is one of the five major Gatekeepers who manage the Flowing Land outside the city, and Hai Qing was also one. Now you've invited me, haha, you want control of my Flowing Land?"

This time, Qingyang was startled, and Kong Yun couldn't help but turn pale and stared intently at the other party.

Just as the atmosphere on the scene was extremely awkward, Ying She in the center of the hall spoke again without a care.

"Then I'll give it to you. But Brother Qingyang, you also know that every Gatekeeper relies on what they manage to obtain things from it."

"I can satisfy your needs, but I also need some things of my own. I wonder if you are willing to satisfy them?"
