In the Chunxue Building in Dahuang City, King Guangling picked up a glass cup and smashed it to the ground. The priceless cup was shattered into pieces, but it still could not eliminate the anger in his heart.
"How many years?"
He was panting heavily and pacing back and forth, his mountain-like bloated body seemed to make the whole room shake slightly.
"Since Gu came to Guangling, how many years has no one dared to be so provocative?!"
Zhao Yi was furious, "Isn't he just a gangster? If a thousand Wei army can't defeat him, then send three thousand, five thousand, ten thousand! Let's see if he can really defeat the country by himself?!
"
Zhang Zhupo stroked his long beard and looked solemn. Lu Shengxiang, who had returned from the defeat, was half-kneeling on the ground in a state of embarrassment. As for the prince Zhao Piao, who was covered in blood as if he had been chopped into pieces by a thousand swords, and Chai Qingshan, whose sword energy was almost exhausted.
He had already been sent for treatment.
King Guangling is worthy of being the King of Guangling. After getting angry, he did not take the order when he was angry just now. Instead, he calmed down again, looked at his two most important assistants, Wen and Wu, and said
:
"Since Biao'er was injured this time, it's not life-threatening, so it's not entirely a bad thing. When the time comes when Gu asks the emperor for credit, he can also tell him more about this nephew's heroic performance... But the premise is, then
This strange beast must be captured! Sheng Xiang, in your opinion, how many soldiers and horses can I give you to conquer Zhulu Mountain?"
"this……"
Lu Shengxiang began to calculate silently.
At this time, Zhang Zhupo, known as the Chunxue Tower Master and the chief counselor under King Guangling, spoke: "Your Majesty, it is certainly possible to send a large army to break through Zhulu Mountain, but the number of soldiers and horses required is probably not small. Although it is covered with clouds and fog, there has never been any
People know the specific terrain, but no matter how they think about it, they are probably mostly mountains and hills that are not suitable for naval and cavalry battles. In addition, the target is only one person and one beast. Even if they can't defeat the army, won't they be able to run away by then?
, are we going to let General Lu lead his troops to fight out of Guangling?"
It is naturally impossible to break out of Guangling. How could the vassal king's army secretly open up a fiefdom without an edict? This will definitely be impeached for rebellion. Even if King Guangling is a brother of the same mother of the emperor, this kind of
Nothing can be done unless he can give an impeccable reason.
Catching auspicious beasts for the emperor?
This reason is untenable.
Today you want to lead troops out of Guangling to catch an auspicious beast. Will you dare to lead troops into the capital tomorrow? Furthermore, if you can catch it, others can't? If all the vassal kings learn to do it,
Wouldn’t the world be in chaos again?
King Guangling thought about it and realized that this was the truth. After all, he was only King Guangling. It was said that that person had just entered Guangling territory from Qingzhou. If they returned to Qingzhou directly, would he really want to send troops there?
Although he looked down upon King Jingan and the Qingzhou Navy under his command, there was no need to send troops if he really wanted to.
"Then what do you think we should do?"
One of the benefits of being in a superior position is that you can ask your subordinates when you are in trouble. You can't just point out the problem without providing a solution. Wouldn't that just add trouble to me? You think of the solution, and I make the decision. This is the relationship between the king and his ministers.
way.
"It's better to leave things in the arena to people in the arena."
Although the smile on Zhang Zhupo's face was wretched, his eyes were shining brightly.
"Leave it to Jianghu people to do it? But even Chai Keqing..."
In this era, the temple is strong and the world is weak. As one of the few top dignitaries in the temple, Zhao Yi naturally thinks so. And this time even Chai Qingshan, the chief guest of Chunxue Tower, was defeated so miserably, and even more so
This aggravated King Guangling's thoughts, so he wanted to send more troops to regain the situation.
"Your Majesty wants to miss something."
Zhang Zhupo chuckled, "Chai Keqing's ability is certainly well-deserved, and the title of the best swordsman in the southeast is not for nothing. But after all, he comes from a famous family, and sometimes he has too many scruples and is too upright. Otherwise, with his ability
, if you are willing to do sneaky things secretly, who in the world can be a sword?"
In fact, it was more because of the drag of the Crown Prince Zhao Piao, but how could Zhang Zhupo, as shrewd as he was, offend the future Lord of Guangling with his words? Even if the Crown Prince was not present, he had to be careful that walls have ears. So let Chai Qingshan take all the blame.
Forget it.
"What do you mean..." King Guangling gradually understood.
"Yes, there may not be anyone with a higher level than Chai Keqing in the southeast, but if it's just about killing people, there may not be anyone stronger than him. We can secretly issue a black list to offer a reward. And he doesn't claim to be the master of Zhulu Mountain.
Is that so? That’s the leader of the Demon Cult. There are many righteous people in the world who are thinking of exterminating demons and defending the Way every day. Let them go dog-eat-dog first!"
"Well...that's a good note."
King Guangling looked surprised, but also worried, "But that person has ruined Gu's face this time, so we can't do nothing!"
"It's simple. Let Sheng Xiang lead the troops to sweep away the remnants of Western Chu again. Let's say that there are remnants of Western Chu behind that person. In this way, even if we really have to send troops to encircle and suppress people in the future, we will have one person who can barely stand up in front of His Majesty the Emperor.
It makes sense.”
"This is a wonderful statement!"
…
…
Just when King Guangling and the others were discussing how to regain control from Chi Yao in Chunxue Tower, the results of this battle quickly spread.
Not many people recognized the identity of Chai Qingshan, the chief guest of Chunxue Tower, but Chi Yao's defeat of Lu Shengxiang and his thousands of Guangling cavalry could not be concealed.
Lu Shengxiang! He can be called the third most famous general in the world. The Beiwei cavalry under King Guangling is also famous. Over the years, he has suppressed many rebellions launched by the survivors of Western Chu.
Logically speaking, such a combination of famous generals and elite soldiers is not something that people in the world can easily exploit.
But it just happened.
Ever since Northern Liang King Xu Xiao led his Northern Liang iron horsemen to the Jianghu twenty years ago, Jianghu has been unable to stand upright in front of the temple, and has been in a state of silence with thousands of horses. Even Wang Xianzhi, who is known as the invincible in the world, can only
If you can be trapped in a corner of the East China Sea, you will not have the freedom to be free and easy.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But today, everyone who got the news was as happy as the Chinese New Year!
They were so ignorant that they finally felt proud in front of the dignitaries of the temple!
Many monks who had no family or sect, or who had been destroyed by the powerful temple officials, all gathered in the direction of Zhulu Mountain with the mentality of pilgrimage.
Of course, there are those who are happy and there are those who are unhappy.
Leaving aside the people above the court, Dongyue Jianchi in Jianghu was very unhappy.
Their sect was stationed in the former Dongyue Kingdom, and Jianchi elites had been the imperial guards of Dongyue for generations. As a result, the Dongyue royal family had a conflict with Wang Xianzhi, and Wang Xianzhi, who had not yet gained the reputation of being invincible in the world, took over the Dongyue Emperor.
They were killed three times inside and outside the city, and they suffered heavy losses. Almost all the elites were killed or injured.
After Li Yang finally unified the Central Plains, he finally took a breath of relief by relying on the imperial court. Now he naturally became a loser with the imperial court. Chi Yao slapped King Guangling in the face, which is equivalent to a slap in the face of King Guangling.
This is a slap in the face of this holy land of swordsmanship, not to mention that although outsiders don't know it, they know very well that Chai Qingshan, the previous generation of great swordsman in Jianchi, was also severely damaged.
In addition, there is also the leader of the Taoist sect, Longhu Shan, who has been deeply involved with the Zhao royal family in Liyang much earlier, and almost shares the honor and disgrace!
Compared with the once lonely Dongyue Jianchi, Longhu Mountain has always been the top transcendent force in the world, and it is not even limited to the world. Among the four contemporary heavenly masters in Longhu Mountain, only one is in charge of Taoist education in the world.
In addition to the national teacher who has a high rank, is as powerful as a prince, and has the reputation of Prime Minister in Yuyi; there is also Zhao Danping, who preaches in the capital all the year round, participates in the palace rituals, and is called the bachelor of Qingci by the people in the capital.
The shoulders are lifted.
Chi Yao's defeat of a thousand fine cavalry under the command of King Guangling would only affect others' mood, but for Longhushan, who had already deeply bound his destiny to the Liyang Dynasty, what he suffered was real.
A well-deserved loss——
In the luck lotus pond at the back of Longhu Mountain, a purple-gold lotus that represents the luck of the Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain withered silently!
Is this okay?!
Those lucky purple lotuses can be said to be the lifeblood of Longhu Mountain. Any slightest movement in the lotus pond will make them nervous for a long time, let alone one withered. This is a major event that will alarm the entire Tianshi Mansion!
In the end, under the embellished descriptions given by Zhao Ningyun and his son, Zhao Danping, the most grumpy and arrogant of the four heavenly masters, decided to go down the mountain in person to save the losses for Longhu Mountain.
As for the method, of course, the auspicious beast that can purify the innocent souls of Xiangfan is brought back to Longhu Mountain.
Using its merits to make up for the lost luck in Longhu Mountain is simply perfect!
…
…
In addition to the two families taking action on their own initiative, under the influence of King Guangling, there were also a large number of forces who wanted to please or take advantage of the chaos.
The most famous one is the Jianzhou Huishan Xuanyuan Family, which is across the river from Longhu Mountain and is known as "Jiangxi Longhu Jiangdong Xuanyuan".
However, unlike Longhu Mountain, where the Jianghu and the temples are all involved, the Xuanyuan family's power is only in the Jianghu, not the temples.
Of course, anyone with a discerning eye knows that they cannot be compared with Longhu Mountain, which has been the leader of the Taoist sect for hundreds of years, but because their ancestor Xuanyuan Dapan, a real master of the celestial realm, is in charge, they can indeed be regarded as a leader in the world.
The top power in the world.
In addition, the Xuanyuan family likes to recruit heroes from all over the world. As long as some of the Jianghuzi who are listed and killed by the government can go to Huishan, they can take refuge in this wealthy family, which is one of the few in the martial arts world today. The government can often only do this.
Turning a blind eye. Moreover, the old head of the Xuanyuan family, who has controlled the family for half a century, is also willing to vigorously cultivate the martial arts descendants who are mountain climbing and studying. He has taught many masters who are now famous in the world, so their family has a good reputation in the world.
Quite not low.
The Xuanyuan family has been entrenched in Jianzhou for many years. Although members of the family have never entered the court as officials, they have taken care of their relationships from the officialdom to the world. Originally, there was no need to care too much about the attitude of King Guangling.
But this time, because the matter involved a strange beast that could purify the wronged souls of Xiangfan, a trace of greed arose in their hearts.
After all, there is a Tongxuan black tiger in Longhu Mountain next door. As the other side of the Jianzhou duo, how could they not have a matching exotic beast?
Therefore, he also sent out an elite team of disciples with tentative thoughts, led by Xuanyuan Jingxuan, the most talented martial artist among the third generation of the Xuanyuan family, and rushed towards Zhulu Mountain.
…
…
Zhulu Mountain, the Holy Land of Demonic Dao, which was originally quiet for a century ago, has suddenly become lively these days.
Regardless of whether they are righteous or evil, there are countless people from all corners of the country who flock here. Most of them don't dare to climb the mountain directly. Most of them just gather outside the clouds and mist at the foot of Zhulu Mountain, adding a lot of vitality to the place.
At this time, Chi Yao, who was almost attracting the attention of the whole world, had no time to pay attention to the turbulence of the outside world.
Because he discovered something interesting inside Zhulu Mountain.
As mentioned before, Chi Yao's sword that day was swung at Chai Qingshan was beyond his expectation. Later, he thought about the reason carefully and vaguely guessed that it might be because Pixiu helped purify Xiangfan City and used those merits to make this world better.
The Heavenly Dao recognized his identity as an outsider and no longer hindered the vitality of heaven and earth from resonating with him.
But later he discovered that the truth seemed to be more than that simple.
After all, even if the law of heaven did not stop him, he had failed to break through before. After all, he had not yet reached the celestial phenomenon, so there should not have been such a movement. Later, after repeated and careful exploration and research, he found out that it turned out that the vitality of Zhulu Mountain was slightly different from the outside world.
This matter is not that mysterious. It is common for the vitality of heaven and earth in famous mountains, rivers, and caves to be more lively and flexible than the outside world. It is even similar to the Buddhist and Taoist holy places such as Longhu Mountain and Landuo Mountain. The vitality of heaven and earth there is
It will be more in line with the practice of the people of this religion, and it is normal for some kind of rejection or suppression of outsiders, especially those with different powers.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! But Zhulu Mountain has been abandoned for many years, not to mention that the Demonic Sect is not Buddhism. Its power itself is extremely complex and chaotic, and is a collection of many negative aspects.
It is not a clear and unified power system.
"And my power system doesn't seem to have anything to do with the local demon sect, right?"
Chi Yao felt quite puzzled and continued to dig deeper when he couldn't figure it out.
Finally, with his unremitting efforts, he discovered a secret in Zhulu Mountain.
That was an accidental opportunity. Because he had provoked King Guangling, Chi Yao, although he looked calm and unobtrusive, was still anticipating the possible revenge, so he wanted to rely on the terrain of Zhulu Mountain to arrange some Gu formations to easily meet the enemy.
After all, although there are many animals, snakes and insects in this mountain range that he can control, if they all swarm up like last time, the efficiency will still be too low.
Moreover, the opponent was unprepared the first time and will probably bring someone with him who knows how to repel animals and insects the second time. Don't be careless.
Therefore, he began to use the Heavenly Gu Qi Watching Technique to measure the terrain, vitality and insect beasts of each mountain, and conceive the plan of the Gu array.
In the process, he discovered something.
Generally speaking, the vitality of heaven and earth in Zhulu Mountain is relatively turbid compared to the outside world. This is not surprising. After all, it is the base camp of the Demon Sect! But he found that a lot of these turbid vitality rise from the ground. This is
It's a little strange.
Because if the activities of the demon sect members have affected the originally pure vitality of heaven and earth here, then this situation should not happen, because there is no one underground.
In order to find out the reason, Chi Yao found a pangolin and drove it to dig a hole inside Zhulu Mountain.
Sure enough, after experiencing a long period of darkness, the front suddenly became empty, and a man and a strange beast began to fall downwards.
When he stepped on the ground again, there was no light here. But Chi Yao's physique had already exceeded the limit of mortals, which did not affect his vision.
What you see upon entering is a desolate and solemn land filled with dirty and bloody vitality.
"It seems that the turbid vitality is inherent here, but what exactly happened to create such a paradise that is extremely suitable for the practice of magic?"
He continued to dig deeper and finally found half of the ruined monument at the very depths.
Although it looks like a broken monument, it is still as tall as a person, and the remaining traces on it vaguely seem to be two ancient characters.
Chi Yao shouldn't have known them at first, but for some reason, when he saw those two words, his mind suddenly exploded, and he immediately understood their meaning clearly.
