Jiu Yaochang sent out a guard of honor to welcome the envoy to greet Wang Jiu. As soon as the team came out of the palace, it attracted the attention of the people of Poshan City. Someone had been secretly arranged to spread the news in the city.

When the people heard that they were waiting for the emperor's challenger, they immediately became excited.

This place is different from Tianlong City. All the people here are soldiers, everyone is martial and aggressive, so what about those who want to challenge the emperor? We will not agree to harm our true emperor.

So the honor guard team picked up Wang Jiu, and was cursed along the way. Wang Jiu sat in the carriage with a sullen face and was very angry. However, there were hundreds of soldiers guarding both sides of the honor guard team, blocking the angry people around, and finally no one was allowed to attack him.

Things like rotten eggs, rotten cabbage, etc. were thrown onto Wang Jiu's carriage.

After the team entered the palace, Wang Jiu's mood finally improved. Jiu Yaochuang expressed his recognition and approval of the "Imperial City Alliance" he proposed and agreed in principle to join this alliance.

Wang Jiu was very satisfied with this first meeting. On the way back, he even decided to persuade Song Zheng not to switch to Jiu Yao, as he would be a puppet in the future anyway.

Today, Jiu Yaochuang picked up their family from the inn and settled them in the embassy in Poshan City. The conditions here are better than the inn, and there are hundreds of soldiers protecting them. According to Jiu Yaochuang's words, the people already know the decision.

When Your Excellency the Emperor came to Poshan City, he was afraid that some radicals would go to the inn to cause trouble. Although Your Excellency was not afraid, he was always annoyed.

Even Jiu Yaochuang was very cooperative and asked which imperial city Wang Jiu was going to go to next. He could help contact him in advance.

Wang Jiu planned to go to Dahe City, and Jiu Yaochuang fully agreed, saying that he had a good relationship with the True Emperor Dahe and could help persuade him. He also wrote a letter in front of Wang Jiu and sent an envoy to Dahe City with the letter.

Wang Jiu was a little bit incredulous: This is the reputation of the Emperor's Defender? It's so useful.

But on this day, Jiu Yaochuang suddenly came to the embassy with a very solemn expression. This looked like there was bad news, and Wang Jiu's heart skipped a beat: "But Dahe City doesn't agree to join the alliance?"

"That's not the case." Jiu Yaochuang said: "The envoy from Dahe City has not returned yet. I came here today to ask for help."

Jiu Yaochuang was very cooperative with him, and Wang Jiu also wanted to reciprocate: "Your Majesty, please tell me."

"Everyone knows that our Poshan City faces at least two beast tide attacks every year. We have many sentries in the Taicang Sacred Mountain. These sentries can provide early warning. Once the beast tide forms in the mountains, we can immediately send back the news and we can prepare in advance.

.”

"Just now, after a sentry sent back the news, contact was completely lost."

"If it were just an ordinary beast tide, I wouldn't dare to trouble His Majesty the Emperor. We in Poshan City have dealt with it many times, so we naturally have the strength and confidence to do so."

"But this time... there is a Beast King at the Immortal Saint level involved, and the number of spiritual beasts is extremely large." He paused and said: "And what worries me most is that this time the tide of beasts is very large.

Maybe it originated from the Zuhuang Tiankeng!”

Wang Jiu didn't understand: "Where is the Zuhuang Tiankeng?"

"That is the most terrifying place in the Taicang Sacred Mountain. There are countless huge sinkholes in it, which breed some powerful spiritual beasts that are not found in the outside world. But the most important thing is that all the beast kings in Taicang are from

Even the spiritual beasts born in it that were not originally there must go to the Ancestral Emperor Tiankeng and become the Beast King after they come out, otherwise they will never be able to break through."

"The difference between our beast tide in Taicang Sacred Mountain and other places is that the beast kings divide work and cooperate, and their command and dispatch are like arranging troops. Coming to another imperial city, this is the first time I encountered this kind of beast who knows how to encircle a point and call for reinforcements.

, surrounded by ten palaces, and the beast tide with the plan of attacking from the east to the west will definitely be killed and defeated."

Wang Jiu understood and asked in surprise: "The Beast King here is extremely intelligent! Could it be...given by the Ancestral Emperor's Tiankeng?"

"This is what we also guessed. There is no reasonable explanation other than this." He said: "I came here this time to explore the Zuhuang Tiankeng and strive to completely solve the problem of the beast tide!"

He looked at the majestic broken mountain city outside, sighed and said: "Even if everyone here is proud to die in battle on the city, his relatives must still be sad. Over the years, it's not that we haven't thought about eternity.

Solve the problem of the beast tide in Taicang’s sacred mountain, but we don’t have the ability.”

"In the history of our Jiuyao Clan, there have been seven explorations. Each time the people who went to the Zuhuang Tiankeng were the top geniuses in the clan who only meet once in a thousand years, but none of these seven people could come back. Even among them

The seventh one, with thirteen Yuan Sheng level followers, waited sixty miles outside the Zuhuang Tiankeng, but only saw a huge black mist pouring out of a Tiankeng, swallowing the

A genius is drowned, and then there is no more sound.”

"Our ancestors of the Jiuyao clan, the Holy Duke Jiuyao who cut through these three peaks with one sword, did not want to completely eliminate the spiritual beasts in Taicang Sacred Mountain and leave a peaceful imperial city to future generations.

He also went deep into the Taicang Sacred Mountain, and finally traced the source and found the Zuhuang Tiankeng, but the Holy Duke was obviously smarter than us descendants. He stood on the Hundred Miles Frog and looked at it for three whole days, but still shook his head and left with a sigh."

"He once left his last words: descendants of future generations who are not better than him will never go to the Zuhuang Tiankeng. But descendants of future generations are full of passion and always want to turn things around."

Wang Jiu said sarcastically: "Your Majesty thinks very clearly, but it is inevitable to fall into the cliché. He also wants to be that figure in Poshan City who will shine forever in the history of the Jiuyao family."

Jiu Yaochang shook his head quickly: "You have misunderstood me. I don't want to solve the problem of the Zuhuang Tiankeng, I just want to investigate it this time. Because the beast tide in Taicang Sacred Mountain has never started from the Zuhuang Tiankeng

, we don’t know the specific reason, but we have monitored the beast tide for thousands of years, and we have never had such a record.

I guessed that something happened in the Zuhuang Tiankeng, so I wanted to investigate. Of course, if during the investigation I found an opportunity to destroy the Zuhuang Tiankeng, I would not hesitate to take action.

!”

Wang Jiu asked: "What do you want to do when you come to us?"

"I would like to ask Your Excellency, the Emperor of Determination, to go with us." Jiu Yao said: "With Your Excellency here, no matter whether we can destroy the Ancestral Emperor's Tiankeng or not, at least I don't have to worry about my safety. I will definitely be able to come back alive!"

He seemed to have great confidence in Song Zheng, but Wang Jiu was not a good person, so he subconsciously did not trust this guy. He originally thought about rejecting it immediately, but then he changed his mind and his eyes fell on Song Xiaosheng, and he laughed and said: "

The Ancestral Emperor Tiankeng is nothing more than that, it just protects your safety. If you ask me, there is no need for the emperor to come forward. It is enough for the little saint to accompany you."

Song Xiaosheng was a generation older than him, and Song Zheng only had to introduce people: This is my good grandson, and everyone's first reaction was to go see Song Xiaosheng, which made Wang Jiu quite angry.

Song Xiaoshengtang, the great devil, has no interest in being a bodyguard. He said with a cold face: "I won't go! How dare you, a grandchild of me, assign errands to me?"

Wang Jiu was furious, but he was worried that he might not be able to defeat this kid, so he suppressed his anger with a sullen face and snorted and stopped talking.

Song Zheng thought for a moment and said, "That's fine. It's rare for Your Majesty to have such a benevolent heart. I'll accompany you."

"Your Excellency is so righteous!" Jiu Yaochuang cupped his fists and bowed deeply, his face was moved, and his heart was overflowing with joy: great things have been accomplished!

Song Zheng made arrangements for the family: "Xiaotian, Xiaosheng, you and my grandson stay at home. Don't cause any trouble to Poshan City. We will discuss and decide on anything."

He asked Jiu Yaochuang again: "When should we set off?"

"The faster, the better. The beast tide should be less than a thousand miles away from Poshan City. Although the mountains are rugged and difficult to navigate, the beast tide will definitely arrive in three days."

Song Zheng said: "Then let's leave now."

Jiu Yao Chuang has even arranged his "future affairs". If he cannot come back this time, his eldest son, Prince Jiu Yao Renli, will succeed him. And before he comes back, Shuai Jun will resist the beast tide and take charge of the overall situation.

It is also Jiuyao Renli.

After he and Song Zheng left the central city together, they quietly entered the Taicang Sacred Mountain. This huge mountain stretches so long that even people from Poshan City could not accurately tell how big it was. After entering the mountain, Jiu Yaochang obviously

He came prepared. He led Song Zheng along a route. On this route, there were sentries from Poshan City. Through these sentries in the mountains, he could obtain traces of the beast tide at any time and avoid the huge beast tide.

, and headed straight to the mysterious Zuhuang Tiankeng.

Jiu Yaochang showed the strength of Yuan Sheng at the peak. He and Song Zheng traveled extremely fast in the mountains. It only took half a day to reach seven thousand miles deep and reach an area that was extremely full of vitality.

Even Song Zheng couldn't help but frown when he got here. Every grass here is growing extremely vigorously. The same kind of weeds are only half a foot high elsewhere in Taicang Sacred Mountain, but here they can grow as tall as a person.

What is even more incredible is that this strong vitality makes the grass seem a little unwilling to be lonely, and there are various signs of changing from plants to animals!

The surrounding trees were extremely tall, with lush branches and leaves spread out in all directions, covering the entire sky hundreds of feet above the head. The light in the woods was very dim.

Once you enter this area, you will feel like you are being spied on and watched.

This feeling became more and more intense as they continued to approach the Ancestral Emperor Tiankeng. Jiu Yaochuang whispered to Song Zheng: "Your Excellency, the mountain in front of you that looks like a giant python is where the ancestor, the Holy Duke, stopped.
