"I pay homage to His Majesty and meet the Imperial Master."
After Lu Jing entered the Yangxin Hall, he saw Shangguan Xuanji was there.
"There is no need to be polite. The matter is urgent. The tide of wild beasts on the northern border has fallen into three cities. Support from Jiang Bi'an and other major sects have gathered at Qingyun Pass. They cannot withstand it for long. We need your support now."
When the empress saw Lu Jing, she went straight to the point.
Lu Jing originally had a lot of words to say, but now seeing the empress's expression full of worry, he finally turned all his words into one word: "Yes."
"If you have any difficulties, just tell me. I will do my best to support you, but Qingyun Pass must be defended. Once Qingyun Pass is broken, the entire northern gateway of Kunlun Continent will be completely opened. By then, the tide of desolate beasts will inevitably go straight into the hinterland of Kunlun Continent.
The consequences will be unimaginable." The empress' words contained a bit of anxiety.
Lu Jing thought for a while and asked, "Do border beast tides happen often?"
"There are beast tides. There have been one or two times in the past years, but this time is different. In the past, beast tides would only hit border cities, and then they would recede after resisting for a while. The prehistoric beasts would also return to the Shanhai Continent, but I don't know why this time.
, the beast tide broke out like it was going crazy. Not only was it huge in scale, but it also destroyed three cities without any intention of stopping. There must be various reasons.
Regarding this matter, I will ask the National Preceptor to find out the cause of the outbreak of the beast tide. This time the National Preceptor will assist you in going together. You and the National Preceptor are both pillars of the Immortal City. This time, the beast tide must be suppressed and the beast tide must be retreated.
Go to Shanhai Continent, my two dear friends, this battle is also your first battle. The eyes of all forces in Kunlun Continent will be on you, and I hope you will do your best.
Whether all the forces in Kunlun Continent can convince you or not depends on your performance in this battle. If you win, the Immortal Capital will be at peace, if you lose..."
After saying this, the Empress didn't say any more, but Lu Jing understood that this battle was not only crucial. According to the Empress, he and Shangguan Xuanji had not actually been recognized by all the forces in Kunlun Continent.
Therefore, this battle is also a battle for the two of them to establish their prestige, and winning or losing is also related to the prestige of the Kunlun Immortal Capital or the Empress.
"I will do my best."
Lu Jing expressed his stance.
Shangguan Xuanji also bowed to the empress.
"Let's set off immediately." The Empress ordered.
…
Lu Jing and Shangguan Xuanji walked out of the Yangxin Hall.
Shangguan Xuanji didn't say anything from the time she entered until now. It wasn't until she came out that she finally looked at Lu Jing and said, "Congratulations, Lord Lu."
Lu Jing smiled awkwardly and said, "The Empress asked me to rebuild the Immortal City Guards, and I was ordered to do so in a critical situation."
He could feel that Shangguan Xuanji was a bit sour.
After the Kunlun Guard was built, he was in charge of the metropolis, or should be the governor of the Kunlun metropolis now. Together with the Alchemy Mansion, he became the second most powerful figure.
In the past, Shangguan Xuanji was considered the number one person under the Empress, but now he is.
It's normal for Shangguan Xuanji to be a little jealous.
He also didn't tell Shangguan Xuanji that the empress asked him to rebuild the Xiandu Guard.
As for Shangguan Xuanji, he has been unable to see through it ever since he met the Earth. This woman has always made him feel like a deep pool of water, bottomless and always unable to see through.
Coupled with the fact that the Dark King kidnapped Bai Qiansu, he could not help but be wary of Shangguan Xuanji.
He promised the empress to rebuild the Immortal Capital Guard, which should now be called the Kunlun Guard. In his heart, Lu Jing also had the intention of competing against Shangguan Xuanji.
He didn't want to think that he would have to be controlled by her in the inner earth world.
Since both of them are in Kunlun Immortal Capital, they must at least be equal.
Lu Jing even wanted to make Shangguan Xuanji listen to him instead of listening to Shangguan Xuanji himself.
The establishment of Kunlun Guard is an important bargaining chip to overcome Shangguan Xuanji.
However, it is only on the surface now.
If you really want to be one person below the Kunlun Immortal Capital and more than ten thousand people, and surpass Shangguan Xuanji, you have to look at the performance of the Kunlun Guards.
The current Kunlun Guard is insubstantial. Without combat effectiveness, everything is like a mirror in the water.
This wave of prehistoric beasts is an opportunity for him and the Kunlun Guard.
Whether you can become famous in one battle depends on this time.
As long as he leads the Kunlun Guards to solve the problem of the beast tide this time, not only will it be confirmed that the two men in Kunlun Xiandu suppressed Shangguan Xuanji, the national master, but they will also be recognized by all forces in the entire Kunlun continent.
Now that he has the great formation of killing gods taught by the old devil, he is confident that he can do it.
…
Shangguan Xuanji looked at Lu Jing with a somewhat complicated look in his eyes and said, "The main purpose of following me this time is to deal with the secret realm. As for the beast tide, I can't help. The empress has another task for me. Regarding the beast tide, what else can I do?"
It depends on yourself, do you have confidence?"
Lu Jing was not surprised by this answer. He knew that Shangguan Xuanji would not help him, so it was expected.
"No, just do your best after you go." He didn't say any big words in front of Shangguan Xuanji.
Regarding the gods-killing formation of the gods, he was not ready to tell Shangguan Xuanji for the time being.
His goal was to wait on the battlefield, hone the Kunlun Guards, and become famous in one battle. At that time, even if the empress and Shangguan Xuanji had any ideas, they would not express them.
"Leave it to me as to the reason for the outbreak of the beast tide. I will investigate clearly. This time, the secret realm is not far from Qingyun Pass. It happens to be on the way. When the beast tide subsides, we will go to the secret realm together." Shangguan Xuanji said.
Regarding the matter of the secret realm, Lu Jing didn't ask any more questions, he just nodded and said: "Okay."
"Then...get ready to go." Shangguan Xuanji said.
"Well, see you later."
Neither of them said anything more.
Everyone has their own thoughts.
…
Kunlun Palace Square.
One hundred thousand Kunlun Guards gathered.
They stood in a square formation of tens of thousands of people.
One hundred thousand monks were divided into ten square formations.
After a period of training, he has gained the momentum of an army.
The black armor holds a sharp sword and is silent.
Invisibly, it was filled with a chilling air.
Lu Jing said: "You have already heard about the tide of wild beasts in the north, so I won't say anything more. Now we set off to Qingyun Pass to suppress the tide of wild beasts. Whether we can be reborn as the real Kunlun Guard depends on this
Fight, I promise you that in the future you will be proud to be a Kunlun Guard, and the Kunlun Guard will definitely become the most powerful and invincible monk army in Kunlun Continent and even the entire Earth Core World. We will definitely be invincible."
"Get on the flying boat and set off."
Lu Jing waved.
Ten Kunlun flying boats that cover the sky and the sun are floating in mid-air.
This is the foundation of Kunlun Xiandu.
Each airship can accommodate ten thousand people and has three floors.
This is the flying boat that Kunlun Xiandu has built over thousands of years.
The cost is high.
In other words, Kunlun Immortal Capital can produce ten flying boats at one time.
It would be good if any sect could produce five flying boats.
Each flying boat is a top-grade spiritual weapon, and it can be large or small.
It cost tens of millions of spiritual stones.
Driven by the energy of spirit stones, each ship consumes 100,000 spirit stones per day.
This is a special approval from the Empress.
With an order, one hundred thousand monks leapt up and boarded the flying boat.
"Let's go too."
Bai Lu, Tang Qian and Ji Xiaorou were all beside Lu Jing.
"Xiao Hei, let's go."
Xiao Hei, the flying clouded leopard, has grown up again and is now a qualified mount for Lu Jing.
