Chapter 599: Nine Pillars Subduing the Dragon

Sitting in the middle of the cedar, Xiao Mian didn't look relaxed.

During the day, when the two masters, Ji Beihai and Wang Bo, arrived, everyone saluted. Even Ji Beiyuan and Wang Tong, who were fighting above, suddenly stopped fighting.

As for the tricks that Xiao Mian and Ji Wuxie played, they naturally ended without any problems.

After that, Ji Beiyuan and Wang Bo had a secret conversation.

No one knew what agreement the two masters had reached, but as soon as the secret conversation ended, Wang Bo took Wang Tong and drifted away, taking Xiao Mian with him.

Ji Beihai took Ji Beiyuan and his beloved son Ji Wuxie back to Ji's home.

Qin Qiuming and Lu Chongmo looked at each other, smiled bitterly, and turned around.

A sudden change, disappearing into the invisible.

When the monks who came to settle accounts came to their senses, the Ji family's cultivation inn was deserted, and no monk from the Ji family could be found.

Fortunately, the Ji family has a big business in Xianyang City, so no one is afraid of them running away.

It's just that for most monks, asking them to take the initiative to go to the Ji family for some spiritual stones and raise a army to hold them accountable is really not worth the gain, so they don't want to publicize it.

There were also a few monks who felt they had suffered heavy losses and gathered together to discuss the matter.

But no matter what, on the surface, this accident has been revealed.

Privately, there is an undercurrent.

At this time, Xiao Mian felt quite regretful about not falling.

The reason why Xiao Mian took the initiative to find the Wang family's talent recruitment office before was because he wanted to use the Wang family's power to divert the attention of the Ji family, so that the Ji family would be unable to do their best to trace the cause of Ji Wuchang's death.

However, judging from the way Xiao Mian was set up by Wang Tong today, and the relationship between him and the Wang family's recruitment hall was clearly revealed, it was obvious that Xiao Mian wanted to take advantage of the Wang family, so why didn't the Wang family want to take advantage of Xiao Wuming?

Now it seems that although Ji Wuchang's death has not been exposed, he has been put on the opposite side of the Ji family by the Wang family and endured the hostility of the Ji family.

This is really a case of picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelon, a small loss brings a big gain...

At this point, Xiao Mian had to face the current situation.

After pondering, Xiao Mian decided to temporarily cease all activities.

Unexpectedly, the tree wanted to be quiet but the wind stopped, and Wang Li came to the door again.

As soon as he saw Xiao Mian, Wang Li complained bitterly, complaining that the deceased formation master Gu Zong was so unreliable that he almost let the Ji family take advantage of the Wang family.

"Li has long said: Brother Xiao, one person is better than a hundred people! Unexpectedly, my father listened to my elder brother's slander, so he invited old ghosts like Gu Zong and almost ruined the big thing!" As he said this, Xiao Mian was noncommittal, his eyes rolled. Turning around, Wang Li said with a smile: "Brother Xiao is indeed amazing! Think about Ji Wuxie, who is known as the number one person of the younger generation in the Ji family. Compared to Hua Mancheng and Yu Wushuang, he did not give in too much, but under Brother Xiao's Nothing to do..."

"Brother Wang! If you have anything to say, please speak up!"

"This... I wonder if Brother Xiao can take action again?"

"No!" He shook his head decisively, and before Wang Li asked, Xiao Mian said to himself: "The sect that Xiao belongs to is not afraid of the Ji family of Qin County. However, if this matter is revealed by the sect, The elders know that it is never a good thing for Xiao. Brother Wang comes from a noble family, and he should know that the people in the sect have a lot of eyesight, and if they make a mistake, it is definitely not a fool's errand to help your Wang family twice before. , purely for Brother Wang’s sake, otherwise do you think that a mere spiritual stone would allow me to take risks?”

"Brother Xiao makes sense! It's just..."

"If Brother Wang wants to have a drink with Xiao for a while, Xiao will welcome him. It's just a matter of taking action. Don't mention it again. What's more, this time the Ji family has the upper hand. Although Xiao has secretly helped, they can pull it back. This is a disadvantage, but the current Wang family is really not suitable to spend time with the Ji family. Fortunately, after repeated changes, the Ji family should have realized that such a stalemate is definitely not a long-term solution. During the day, the two heads of the family should be talking secretly. Let’s discuss a strike?”

"This... Brother Xiao is really aware of everything! But after all, it was his Ji family who provoked this matter first. My father means that if Brother Xiao is willing to help again, our Wang family will be confident enough to negotiate terms with the Ji family. Now it seems Come on..., hey!"

"The days are long!" Xiao Mian smiled lightly and said meaningfully: "Chess players do not compete for the gain or loss of a piece. After the 600th birthday of my grandfather, or even after the incident in Zulongju, Brother Wang is still afraid that he will not have time. Are you settling old accounts with the Ji family? "

"Brother Xiao is the one who knows me! Li Zheng has this intention! My father must have thought so too." After slightly nodding, seeing that Xiao Mian seemed to be in a good mood, Wang Li turned around and said tentatively: "Brother Xiao is a talented person! Li Zhen is becoming more and more curious about which large-scale power you belong to! Could it be that Brother Xiao is actually the leader of the Nine Holy Lands?"

Xiao Mian was stunned when he heard this, but on the surface he smiled incomprehensibly.

When Wang Li saw this, he confirmed his guess.

"In Yili's humble opinion, the strength of ordinary large forces is similar to that of the four major families in Qin County. Even if they are exhausted, they are on par with the Supreme Good Sect and the Seven Emotions Demon Palace. The disciples they have taught are no more than comparable to Li. But in the face of Brother Xiao, I am losing the courage to fight you. Isn’t Brother Xiao really a descendant of the Holy Land?”

"What do you think, Brother Wang?"

"The Nine Holy Lands are the nine oldest sects in Zhongzhou. Brother Xiao is the descendant of a holy land. How disrespectful!" While bowing slightly, Wang Li saw that Xiao Mian did not avoid or give way, and did not say anything. He was even more unsure of Xiao Mian's attitude, so he had to continue to test: "From the fact that Brother Xiao's attainments in formations are far superior to that old ghost Gu Zong, I'm afraid that only Xingxiu Sea, Shanhe Palace and Jiugong Mountain are somewhat related. Could it be that Brother Xiao is the descendant of Jiugong Mountain who specializes in formations? Or something else..."

"Brother Wang! The sect has ordered: Unless it is necessary, Xiao cannot reveal his identity. If you continue to guess like this, Xiao can only find another job..."

"Don't! Don't! Don't! I was rude for a while, I hope Brother Xiao will forgive me!"

While apologizing repeatedly, Wang Li reached into his arms, took out a soul-sealing box, and handed it to Xiao Mian respectfully.

"My father also knows that the reason why Brother Xiao helped out for justice the last two times was not because he was interested in the mere hundreds of thousands of middle-level spirits. It was just that the Ji family suddenly attacked, and the incident happened suddenly, and the Wang family was in chaos, so Brother Xiao was neglected. Before Li left today, my father specifically asked Li to make sure to deliver this item to Brother Xiao, and never refuse it!"

"Brother Wang is polite..."

Chuckling, Xiao Mian was not polite at all, and opened the soul-sealing box swiftly.

When he opened the lid of the box, he saw a nine-sided round plate that was as big as a palm lying in the soul-sealing box. At the nine corners of the round plate, a golden copper pillar extended from each side.

Xiao Mian was stunned when he saw it, and then suddenly shocked.

"This is--Nine-pillar Dragon Subduing Plate!?"

"Brother Xiao is really a person who knows the goods!" Clapping his hands and smiling, Wang Li said kindly: "This item was originally the reward that Gu Zong, the old man, asked for from my father, but he didn't even consider how much he had and dared to ask for such a high price. A seventh-level array plate, even ordinary Yuanying cultivators would be jealous, how could he get his hands on it? Only a descendant of a holy land like Brother Xiao is worthy of this Nine-pillar Dragon Subduing Plate!"

Xiao Mian was silent when he heard this, but his heart was in turmoil.

This Wang family is really generous!

Nine-pillar Dragon Subduing Plate, seventh-level array plate!

This array plate alone is enough to offset all the rewards paid by the Wang family before, not to mention that any artifact that reaches the Yuanying level is hard to come by.

Thinking back to the time in Wanzong City, the Bai family sent such a seventh-level Nine-pillar Dragon Subduing Plate for the wedding of Bai Jintang and Li Fuping.

This is also the reason why Xiao Mian was able to see through the origin and purpose of this item at a glance, otherwise he might have been exposed!

"This item is too valuable, Xiao is ashamed to accept it!"

Although he was reluctant to give it up, Xiao Mian still closed the soul-sealing box tightly, and while speaking, he pushed the soul-sealing box back to Wang Li and gently refused.

"Why do you say that, Brother Xiao? Brother Xiao did a great job for my Wang family last time! What? Could it be that Brother Xiao doesn't like this seventh-level Nine-pillar Dragon Subduing Plate?"

"No! No! The seventh-level array is something that even I, Xiao, would like. But the Wang family gave me enough compensation for the two previous times I made a move, which was considered a payment in exchange for money. But for this Nine-pillar Dragon Subduing Plate, I can't accept it without any merit, so it's not easy to accept it!"

"This..., or, Brother Xiao, make another move?"

Wang Li was still not giving up, and actually intended to use the Nine-pillar Dragon Subduing Plate to seduce Xiao Mian.

"No!"

"Brother Xiao! My father has repeatedly ordered that this item must be delivered to Brother Xiao. If Brother Xiao does not accept it, Li will not be able to explain it when he returns! Li Guan also likes this Nine-pillar Dragon Subduing Plate very much. What he is worried about is that he will not receive the reward without any merit!"

"What? Does Brother Wang have any good suggestions?"

"Brother Xiao, have you thought about whether to participate in the trip to Zulongju next year?"

"Is this... related to this item?"

"To be honest with Brother Xiao: the trip to Zulongju is extremely dangerous! Even a high-level Jindan cultivator like Li has the potential to be in Zulongju. The danger of falling. If Brother Xiao feels that the Nine-pillar Dragon Subduing Plate is too much, please help me when you see my Wang family disciples in trouble in Zulongju in the future. Of course, if Brother Xiao does not enter Zulongju, you don’t have to bother to consider it! "

"Zulongju? If possible, Xiao will naturally see it! "

"That would be the best! Li sincerely hopes that this Nine-pillar Dragon Subduing Plate can show its power in Brother Xiao's hands. As for other things, Brother Xiao doesn't have to care too much! "

"..., in this case, Xiao will accept it!"

After a little contemplation, Xiao Mian accepted the soul-sealing box.

After chatting for a while, Wang Li said goodbye and left, as if he came here to give Xiao Mian the Nine-pillar Dragon Subduing Plate.

As soon as Wang Li left, Xiao Mian took out the Nine-pillar Dragon Subduing Plate.

With a wave of his hand, he summoned the black cloth.

"Xiao Bu! There's nothing dirty in this array, right?"

The dirty things Xiao Mian mentioned were naturally some secret arrays used for eavesdropping, positioning, and monitoring. After getting Hei Bu's definite answer, Xiao Mian finally breathed a sigh of relief and looked over and over at the seventh-level array plate, the Nine-pillar Dragon Subduing Plate in his hand.

Treasure!

This is definitely a treasure!

But although the treasure is good, it's hot to get...
