Zongwu: Starting from the Trouble in Xingzilin

When Wanyan Honglie heard this, he was stunned for a moment, but soon returned to normal.

"Haha, Mr. Murong, don’t worry!"

"Today you help my Great Jin to rule the Southern Song Dynasty. One day, when your Great Yan is restored, my Jin will definitely help you!"

Wanyan Honglie spoke earnestly and vowed.

Seeing this, Murong Fu hurriedly bowed his hands to thank him, and a look of complacency rose quietly from the bottom of his eyes.

But he did not notice that a trace of contempt flashed quietly in Wanyan Honglie's eyes.

Murong Fu said goodbye and ran to the Yellow River Gang.

Just as Murong Fu turned to leave, Wanyan Honglie, who was originally full of smiles, suddenly withdrew his expression, and a trace of viciousness immediately floated between his eyebrows

"What do you think of this person?"

At this time, apart from Wanyan Honglie, there was no one in the room.

Just as Wanyan Honglie finished speaking, a sharp and slightly hoarse voice suddenly sounded.

"Although this man's strength is not outstanding, he can still be used. He is better than Sha Tongtian and Peng Lianhu!"

Before the voice fell, an old man who was already in his twilight years slowly walked out from behind the curtain at the side and back.

Although he was old, his footsteps were full of martial arts.

His true energy was completely restrained, and he didn't look like he knew any martial arts at all.

But if it fell into the eyes of a martial artist above the Grandmaster level, careful observation would reveal that this person's skills have completely reached the state of returning to nature!

If Murong Fu knew that this person had been hiding behind the curtain so close to him just now, and he didn't even notice it.

I'm afraid he would be scared out of his wits!

At this time, Wanyan Honglie also put away his sinister look just now, and replaced it with a respectful look.

He asked the old man to sit down, and then slowly said:"In the eyes of your 'Sunflower Ancestor', these people are naturally not worthy of your attention. However, right now is the time when our Great Jin is in need of people. Although Sha Tongtian and others are crude, they are better than nothing!

"If everyone was as powerful as you, the Sunflower Ancestor, the Southern Song Dynasty martial arts world would have been ruled by Wanyan long ago. Why would I need to waste my energy here?"

Wanyan Honglie observed the expression of the people and gave Sunflower Ancestor a round of flattery at the right time.

For a moment, Sunflower Ancestor was very pleased.

He waved his hand and a smile appeared on his face.

"Oh! Your Majesty, you are too kind!"

"I am not talented, but I am only slightly better than these ordinary people! There are still capable people in the Song Dynasty.

"For example, Huang Shang, who read thousands of volumes of Taoist scriptures and created the"Nine Yin Manual", has never fought with me. But according to my guess, he should also be a strong man in the immortal realm on land, and his strength should not be inferior to mine!"

"No!"Wanyan Honglie waved his hand," Old Ancestor, don't boost others' morale and destroy your own prestige!

"Think about it, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty was incompetent and foolish. With that kind of attitude, what kind of talents could he cultivate under his command?"

"Oh! Let’s not talk about this!" Wanyan Honglie paused and cast a curious look at the Sunflower Patriarch,"Ancestor, I wonder what you gained from this trip to the Ming Dynasty?"

""Haha," said the old ancestor of the sunflower, with a hint of meaning in his eyes."Your Highness has great ambitions, which is understandable. But at present, the Southern Song Dynasty has not yet made a plan, and your Highness has already had the intention to seize the overall situation of the Nine Provinces. Don't you think it's too early?"

After the old ancestor of the sunflower finished speaking, he looked at Wanyan Honglie with some amusement.

"Hehehe!" Wanyan Honglie laughed twice,"Everything is prepared, and without preparation, it will be abandoned. It is always necessary to prepare for a rainy day!"

After hearing Wanyan Honglie's explanation, Sunflower Patriarch nodded meaningfully.

"Thanks to the blessing of the prince, my trip to the Ming Dynasty went smoothly! The plan I made many years ago has finally yielded some results!"

"Oh?!"

Hearing what the Sunflower Patriarch said, Wanyan Honglie immediately became alert and took two steps closer to the Patriarch.

The Sunflower Patriarch smiled calmly, revealing the pride that everything was under control.

"Many years ago, I left a book called"Sunflower Manual" in the Ming Dynasty, which was learned by Lin Yuantu of Fuwei Escort Agency. This boy integrated the book into swordsmanship and created the"Seventy-two Ways of Exorcism Swordsmanship". For a time, he made a name for himself in the Ming Dynasty.

"Unfortunately, this boy did not pass on these martial arts to the descendants of the Lin family, so the old book was covered in dust.

"Later, I went to Daming again and gave the book to the boy from the Dongfang family. This boy had extraordinary talent and great ambition, and he mastered the Sunflower Book.

"Now, he is a famous figure in the Ming Dynasty! He thinks that his martial arts are superb and calls himself"Invincible".’！

"Humph! Undefeated……"

As Sunflower Patriarch spoke, he inadvertently revealed some disdain.

Wanyan Honglie was so curious that he didn't dare to interrupt.

Sunflower Patriarch glanced at him and even felt a little proud.

"Maybe God has pity on my hard work, for I discovered during this trip to Ming Dynasty that Yue Buqun, the current head of Huashan Sect, known as the 'Gentleman Sword' in the martial arts world, has been secretly practicing the Exorcism Sword Technique!"

"Oh? Then the ancestor's magical power, is this being carried forward in the Ming Dynasty?"

Wanyan Honglie finished speaking, but frowned slightly, his face a little tangled,"Ancestor, by doing this, you will undoubtedly add strength to the Ming Dynasty. This, for my Great Jin, will do more harm than good!"

But when Kuihua heard Wanyan Honglie's words, she didn't care at all.

She smiled and shook her head, then said mysteriously:"Your Highness, this is wrong! Do you think I really left behind the complete version of the Sunflower Manual?"

"Ah?" Wanyan Honglie's eyebrows suddenly raised in joy,"According to what the ancestor meant,……"

The Sunflower Patriarch smiled and nodded in agreement.

"When they choose to practice the old magical skills, their fate is no longer under their control!

"The disaster left behind by the remaining fragments of the Sunflower Manual will probably be exposed in a few days!

"At that time, I will appear again and show them the way out of the maze. Driven by the instinct of survival, the prince thinks that if he lets them go east, will they go west?"

Sunflower Patriarch said, with a more obvious smug look in his eyes,"By then, the Ming Dynasty will be within the prince's grasp, right? Then, the Ming Dynasty will be easy to achieve, right? Humph……"

After the old man Sunflower finished speaking, he laughed sinisterly.

Wanyan Honglie instantly felt goose bumps crawling up his back, but that feeling was soon replaced by excitement.

He cupped his hands and saluted the old man Sunflower.

"The ancestor has devoted his heart and soul to our Great Jin, and has made foresight. I thank the ancestor on behalf of my brother!"

Wanyan Honglie bowed again and respectfully saluted the sunflower ancestor.

But the sunflower ancestor was not moved at all, and a hint of teasing flashed in his eyes.

"As far as I know, you, the Emperor of the Great Jin, don't seem to have any ambition to rule the Great Ming?"

"this……"

Wanyan Honglie's face flashed with embarrassment, and then his face turned dark red, and he looked a little panicked.

For a moment, he didn't know what to say.
