Zhuge Xi pondered for a moment, then spoke, "Xuanwang Manor wants more than just dragon energy, but also the location of this Ping'an County? Once they can control the entire Ping'an County, it also means they can exert interference and influence in the dragon's tail area."
Su Han continued, expanding further, "If they are not limited to one place, but set their sights on the entire Dali territory, if Xuanwang Manor can exert interference in every area of this dragon vein, like nails being driven in."
"Wouldn't that be able to nail the Dali's dragon vein to death?"
As soon as these words came out, the secret room fell into a long silence. After a moment, Yuan Xingkong sighed, "I only hope our worries are unnecessary, otherwise it will be troublesome."
"Yes, who would have thought that even the imperial relatives want to rebel?"
Zhuge Xi said faintly, directly stating the matter.
Su Han said calmly, "It's also within expectations. Many people are just passengers on a boat, and have no feelings for their ship. Once they realize that the ship is about to sink, they will only think about jumping ship, and even start to plunder benefits during the sinking, after all, it's about to sink anyway."
"Speaking of which, isn't our Golden Pavilion the same?"
He joked with a smile, to ease the atmosphere.
Yuan Xingkong immediately laughed and scolded, "You brat, you make it sound like we are the ones who caused this trapped dragon situation to collapse. It's just the trend of the times, we're just taking advantage of it."
"I wouldn't dare to wear the hat of a rebellious traitor."
Su Han immediately sighed, "That's a pity. I was originally thinking of adding a dragon robe for the Pavilion Master while it's cold, or catching a big fish and stuffing a note with 'The Great Chu will prosper, Xingkong' inside, or even more miraculously, 'Don't look at the stone man with one eye, inciting the world to rebel against Lin Yuan?'"
Yuan Xingkong's expression became subtle, and he said, "You kid, your history is so good? You even know these allusions?"
Now it was Su Han's turn to be surprised.
Wait, do these allusions really exist in this world?
He had already prepared for the loneliness of no one understanding his references.
"Alright, alright, those were just jokes, don't delve into them any further. Let's get back to business. The superficial purpose or the deep purpose of Xuanwang Manor has already been speculated almost completely."
"So Su Han, what is your decision? Should we accept or not?"
Yuan Xingkong looked at Su Han, hoping to get an answer.
Su Han said faintly, "Whether we accept or not, it doesn't matter. The most important thing is not to follow the enemy's pace, as that will put us at a great disadvantage."
He had always adhered to this truth.
Anything the enemy wants to do, we must not let them succeed.
Anything the enemy doesn't want to do, we must make it happen.
Since Xuanwang Manor has gotten involved with the Li family, and may have such plots, it is quite unfavorable to him. In that case, Xuanwang Manor is his enemy, in a hostile position.
Ordinary martial artists who offend imperial relatives don't even know how they die. Even those talented martial artists from major sects would probably have to apologize and make amends, not daring to be too presumptuous.
After all, the Dali Dynasty has not yet collapsed.
But he is a member of the Golden Pavilion, and has also connected with another branch of the imperial relatives, the Yuwang Manor in the Northern Territory, so he can naturally be tougher and ignore any plots of Xuanwang Manor.
Yuan Xingkong nodded in approval, this kid's actions are very much to his liking.
He then said, "Then we'll just pretend we didn't see this challenge?"
Su Han smiled slightly, "There's no need to do that, it would make me look too evasive. Besides, it was Brother Zhuge who sent it to me, it would be a bit unreasonable to pretend I didn't see it, wouldn't it?"
Zhuge Xi felt a little embarrassed upon hearing this, was it his fault?
Su Han continued, "Draft a reply for me, tell the Li family, tell Xuanwang Manor, if they want to invite me to battle, they can, but not just any riffraff can come and face me. They have to show their qualifications, show their sincerity."
Yuan Xingkong raised an eyebrow, "Aren't you afraid they'll become angry out of humiliation?"
Su Han smiled slightly, "Isn't there still Pavilion Master here? Besides, in the current situation, whether they become angry out of humiliation or not is about the same. They are ultimately hostile, and a fight is almost inevitable."
"I said, we can't follow the enemy's rhythm."
Su Han responded with a faint smile.
So what if it's Xuanwang Manor? This name can't scare him.
Li family, in the main hall.
"What, Su Han didn't directly accept the challenge, but instead made demands on us, asking us to show sincerity and qualifications?"
Li Qingyun was shocked when he heard the Golden Pavilion's reply. He didn't expect Su Han to be so tough upon hearing the name Xuanwang Manor, as if he didn't take it seriously.
On the other hand, Zhao Yunlan and the tall man next to him still had calm expressions, seemingly not too concerned about this matter.
Zhao Yunlan smiled slightly, "This Su Han is interesting. Ordinary martial artists would have been scared shitless upon hearing the name Xuanwang Manor,"
"Even those talented martial artists, carefully nurtured by major sects, would have to give Xuanwang Manor face and not have too激进 reactions."
"But this Su Han is a bit unexpected."
The tall man said faintly, "I said earlier, don't underestimate the heroes of the world. Sooner or later, someone will not give Xuanwang Manor face,"
"Now we've encountered one, haven't we? The Golden Pavilion is that person's force. Although Xuanwang Manor's power can reach the heavens, it's still difficult to interfere with Golden Pavilion affairs."
"Brother, at least your matter is not worth doing this for."
Zhao Yunlan raised an eyebrow, "What if it's a major matter for our family? You must know that this Su Han is the owner of the golden dragon of luck in the sky,"
"Doesn't our family's master have a place to use the golden dragon of luck?"
The tall man replied indifferently, "I'll have to evaluate it before making a decision."
"Before that, this is just your matter."
"Hehe, brother, you're really rigid."
Zhao Yunlan sneered, and didn't pay much attention to it. He looked at Li Qingyun and instructed, "He's kicking the ball back to us. That's fine. If he wants sincerity, I'll give him sincerity. If he wants qualifications, I'll give him qualifications. Let him jump as he pleases."
"Because as long as we win this battle, everything can be taken back."
"And I will definitely win."
"Tell the Golden Pavilion, ask them if they want the Tianluo Quanyuan Fruit. If they want it, then accept the challenge."
The tall man raised an eyebrow, a little surprised, "Brother, are you sure you want to bet so big?"
"That Tianluo Quanyuan Fruit was painstakingly picked by Father from that remnant immortal realm. It contains a wisp of Hunyuan meaning, which can integrate the body's impurities, allowing martial artists to understand their own fundamental energy and break through the Qi barrier. It is also invaluable to us."
Zhao Yunlan still looked confident, and said, "I'm not betting, but have absolute certainty of winning. Therefore, in my opinion, this is more like bait, to lure the fish up, that's all."
