Yang Tiantian?
Upon hearing the name, Yang Xiao's eyes narrowed sharply.
Who was Yang Tiantian?
What was her relationship with Li Nanfang?
How much influence did Yang Tiantian have on Li Nanfang, or even on Emperor's Valley?
Yang Xiao knew all these things.
To put it bluntly, "The name Yang Tiantian was Emperor's Valley's greatest taboo!"
With everything in mind, Yang Xiao had long wanted to secretly send this woman to her death, to dispel the dark cloud that hung over Emperor's Valley.
But over the years, Yang Xiao had never been able to find her whereabouts.
Especially as time passed, Yang Xiao had thought Yang Tiantian, like Zhuang Wujian, was no longer of this world.
Who would have thought—
Not only had Zhuang Wujian reappeared, but even Yang Tiantian, who should have died long ago, had also shown up!
And the reason both these sinister women appeared was related to Li Qianfan.
"When chaos strikes, monsters will emerge!"
As Yang Xiao listened to Li Nanfang's confession, this sentence suddenly came to mind.
She also knew that Li Nanfang had intended to hide the fact that he had secretly "met" Yang Tiantian.
But Yang Tiantian's current identity was too extraordinary.
After days of hesitation, the scumbag from the Heaven-tier finally hardened his heart and confessed.
Yang Tiantian was actually the CEO of the Dark Web.
More than twenty years ago, she had inadvertently found the Gate of Reincarnation, which summoned Li Xiao.
And in the mountain, she had found "evidence" that 209 might be from another world.
Yang Tiantian had also told Li Nanfang that the male 209 possessed by Li Qianfan, due to its ever-changing characteristics, could cause all Gu worms to die of poisoning after consuming its flesh and blood!
This point was completely consistent with Zhuang Wujian's claim that Li Qianfan himself possessed the ability to counter all poisons.
Just as Li Nanfang was confessing—
Li Wujiang, Su Ziyu, and Zhuang Wujian held their breaths, not daring to make a sound.
Besides Yang Xiao, who was radiating killing intent, Yang Tiantian's words and her relationship with Li Nanfang were enough to warrant being silenced.
Li Wujiang and Su Ziyu might only be shocked.
Zhuang Wujian, besides shock, felt unspeakable anger.
She truly did not expect that Yang Tiantian, the Dark Web CEO who had actively contacted her, had discovered the instability of the male 209 long ago and had not told her!
This also made Zhuang Wujian's plan to "marry" Li Qianfan a complete joke!
"CEO of the Dark Web. Heh, don't let me see you again."
Zhuang Wujian gritted her teeth in secret, her fists clenched tightly, and she gradually calmed her surging emotions.
Only then did she notice Yang Xiao explaining to Li Nanfang that their Gu-implantation plan had failed.
Yang Xiao also detailed the ten points summarized by Zhuang Wujian to Li Nanfang.
The four of them could have guessed how shocked Li Nanfang would be, even by using their toes.
The sudden appearance of Yang Tiantian, compared to the ten points summarized by Zhuang Wujian, immediately seemed like child's play.
After finishing, Yang Xiao also calmed down.
She said to Li Nanfang, "I will pretend that the woman seeking you never happened. I will also ensure that Emperor's Valley remains unaware of this. But I hope that next time you have news of her, you must inform me. Emperor's Valley will not be at peace as long as she lives."
No problem!
Li Nanfang readily agreed.
The more readily some men agreed, the less they actually took it to heart.
Yang Xiao, who was currently only concerned about her grandson's life and the Four Phoenixes Circling the Roof formation, did not bother to argue with Li Nanfang.
She simply asked Li Nanfang if there were any omissions in the ten points summarized by Zhuang Wujian.
"Yes."
Li Nanfang immediately replied, "If the ultimate goal of the Four Phoenixes Circling the Roof formation, when the deception is revealed, is indeed to allow the Island Province to return home smoothly, then the Island Province, Hanseong, and Dongyang will definitely make some moves."
Yang Xiao casually asked, "What kind of moves?"
Before Li Nanfang could answer, she understood, "You mean, the three places in the Island Province will send Xuanmen masters to disrupt the Four Phoenixes Circling the Roof formation?"
"That is absolutely certain!"
Li Nanfang said in a deep voice, "Don't forget, the Xuanmen of the Island Province has always claimed to be the orthodox lineage of the Central Plains. And the strength of the Xuanmen in Hanseong and Dongyang, due to the ebb and flow of power, is now tending to surpass their predecessors. Even with the utmost care and caution, masters like Master Kongkong and other reclusive experts cannot keep it hidden from others for long." httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
He was right.
The regions of Dongyang and Hanseong had been continuously influenced and enlightened by Dongtu culture for thousands of years.
Besides the world-leading technology, governance methods, imperial examination system for selecting talents, and Buddhism, which was developed by Dongtu; the art of Xuanmen was also treated by them as the most sacred culture, to be revered and learned.
For example—
It is said that as early as the beginning of the last century, when Dongyang occupied Goryeo, they had embedded 108 wooden stakes in the Goryeo imperial palace.
Those 108 wooden stakes were also known as "Dragon Suppressing Nails"!
They firmly sealed Goryeo's dragon脉 in place, preventing it from turning over, let alone soaring.
Goryeo's Xuanmen masters attempted to find those 108 Dragon Suppressing Nails and remove them to reactivate Goryeo's dragon脉.
But the Dongyang people had already foreseen this, which was why they used wooden stakes, which were less effective than copper nails.
Because once the wooden stakes were driven into the ground, they would take root and grow into peach trees.
If it was just a peach tree that might be a Dragon Suppressing Nail, cutting it down would not suffice.
All the roots of the peach tree had to be dug out!
Even a root as fine as a strand of hair would mean the Dragon Suppressing Nail remained.
But if all the roots of a certain peach tree were dug out without leaving anything behind, the excavation depth would be too great, and the dragon脉 would be permanently damaged!
Because the dragon脉 was constantly pinned in place by the Dragon Suppressing Nails, Goryeo could only remain stagnant and unable to soar.
And then there was the Blue Tile Palace—
When the Blue Tile Palace was being built in Hanseong, Dongyang also sent Xuanmen masters to disrupt it through various means.
As a result, all the leaders who resided in the Blue Tile Palace were either assassinated or purged after leaving office.
The leader of the Blue Tile Palace became one of the most dangerous professions in the world.
In order to change this disadvantage, both the north and south parts of Hanseong had been vigorously cultivating Xuanmen practitioners in recent years.
The aim was to find a way to break the Dragon Suppressing Nails and improve the feng shui of the Blue Tile Palace.
Dongyang not only used feng shui to disrupt the north and south of Hanseong.
They also frequently interfered with Dongtu.
The most famous was the construction of a skyscraper in Modu by the river, whose exterior resembled a samurai sword and whose top was a sun.
With this building in place, it could suppress the economic prosperity of Modu, Dongtu's leader!
However, the schemes of the small Dongyang were quickly seen through by Dongtu.
Next to that skyscraper, Dongtu built another skyscraper that could counter it, neutralizing all the malevolent energy!
As for the Island Province—
It was even more replete with Xuanmen masters, but some matters were not for everyone to speak of.
"In short, the three regions of the Island Province, Hanseong, and Dongyang will absolutely not allow the Four Phoenixes Circling the Roof formation to operate normally."
Li Nanfang said softly on the phone, "Perhaps they have already detected this formation and understood the key to breaking it. In fact, they might even be actively planning, or have already begun, their plan to break it."
"The key to breaking the formation?"
Yang Xiao glanced at Ziyu and asked, "Qianfan, Ziyu, Su Nanyin, and her caterpillars biting?"
"The formation is already set. The role of the caterpillars biting is not very significant. Otherwise, on New Year's Eve, Shen Huiteng would not have dared to arrange a marriage for the caterpillars biting, knowing about the Four Phoenixes Circling the Roof formation."
Li Nanfang said, "The enemy's key to breaking the formation will only target Qianfan, Ziyu, and Su Nanyin."
Yang Xiao nodded, "The three of them will become the focus of the enemy's covert attacks. What if one of them suffers an accident?"
The formation is broken!!
Zhuang Wujian silently uttered these two words.
Li Nanfang did not know that Zhuang Wujian was present, listening to his conversation with Yang Xiao.
He simply said, "If one out of three is gone, I imagine the formation will be broken, right? I'll go find Old Du to have a good chat later. The most important thing right now is for you to ensure Ziyu's absolute safety. If our analysis is correct, the enemy will soon make a move against the three of them."
"You don't need to worry about Ziyu's safety."
Yang Xiao said faintly, "Tonight, I will personally escort her back to Longxu with Wujiang. As long as she is within Longxu, no one will dare to harm her. Qianfan also has the strength to protect himself. What worries me the most is Su Nanyin. When Ye Tianjiao came to Hanseong, she told me that she had warned Su Nanyin. Furthermore, as you just said, Qianfan also had a long talk with you, and she drove him out of the backyard. That woman's emotions must be extremely unstable at the moment."
Sigh.
Li Nanfang sighed and said, "Therefore, we cannot let her know the importance of this formation for the time being."
Yang Xiao frowned, "Why?"
Li Nanfang said slowly, "If it were you, and others treated you well when they needed you, but were cold to you when they didn't, how would you feel?"
Yang Xiao remained silent.
Li Nanfang continued, "The two of us can play a game now. Let's role-play as Qianfan and Su Nanyin and have a dialogue rehearsal. Guan Guan, you be Su Nanyin, and I'll be Qianfan."
This kind of game—
Yang Xiao rather enjoyed playing.
The game began.
Li Nanfang: "Guanyin, Zhuang Wujian's Gu-implantation plan has failed."
Yang Xiao, acting in character: "Heh, what a pity."
Li Nanfang: "But my life and death directly affect the stability of the formation."
Yang Xiao: "Heh, what a pity."
Li Nanfang: "And that formation is related to whether the child of the Li family can return home smoothly. Therefore, I cannot die."
Yang Xiao: "Heh."
Li Nanfang: "Guanyin, you still have to wear a cangue for me."
Yang Xiao: "Sorry, I have no responsibility or obligation, nor the face to do so! Lest people like Ye Tianjiao call me a slut."
Li Nanfang: "But if you don't save me, the child of the Li family cannot return home smoothly."
Yang Xiao: "I don't even care about my own life and death, why should I care about anything else?"
Before Li Nanfang could say anything more—
Yang Xiao, who had completely immersed herself as Su Nanyin, grinned wickedly, "Qianfan, let's die together! After we die and go to another world, we will no longer care about anything in this world! And no one will point fingers at us anymore! I will give all my love and make you the happiest man."
Silence.
After Yang Xiao uttered these words instinctively.
Both on her side and on Li Nanfang's side, a deathly silence suddenly descended.
