The most uncomfortable, frightening, yet most tempting and attractive place in the world is undoubtedly the Corpse Emperor's Wushan Palace.
Thousands of Mao Zong soldiers wearing fur and armor formed a murderous "Ten Thousand Zombies Formation" outside a Bone Palace. These Mao Zong soldiers were either covered in black hair or white hair, and many of them were red in color.
Cyan, a weird blue variety. All Mao Zong are about nine feet tall, with muscles all over their bodies as knotted as axes and knives. In addition, they are wearing ancient armor, holding strangely ancient bronze instruments, or simply...
Weapons made of black stone look increasingly powerful and ferocious.
Clouds of black energy surrounded these powerful Mao Zong soldiers. Their eyes flashed with a faint red light. Tens of thousands of red lights loomed in the black mist, like will-o'-the-wisps, as if they could pounce on people at any time.
In the Palace of Bones, there are blooming flowers, exotic flowers and plants everywhere. Among the red flowers and green grass, dozens of elegant and exquisite but ancient bone table tables are displayed in an orderly manner. Teams of people wearing exquisite palace costumes
A girl with an extremely enchanting skirt and an extremely beautiful appearance is holding a jade plate in her hand, bringing all kinds of rare fruits, old wine, and roasted rare birds and animals to the table.
Several huge dragon-footed toad-mouth incense burners stand at the four corners of the Bone Palace. A strong aroma mixed with a hint of blood is emitted from the incense burners along with billowing green smoke. The hall is filled with smoke and the aroma is astonishing, plus those that look like skewers
Women walking back and forth like flowers and butterflies truly feel like they are in a fairyland.
But if you take a closer look at those beautiful girls, the fairyland suddenly turns into a ghostland.
When two girls were walking, their knees suddenly folded in half. The two straightened their twisted leg bones without changing their expressions and continued to move forward.
Another girl who was the most beautiful but had a slightly pale complexion had just put down the tray in her hand and was smiling charmingly towards the Corpse Emperor sitting behind the desk and bowing, when she heard two 'pops', her two bright eyes were good at discerning.
The eyeballs suddenly jumped out of their sockets. The girl quickly grabbed two eyeballs and quickly stuffed them into her own sockets. After smiling at the guests around her, she quickly walked away with the stiff steps unique to zombies.
There were also several girls dancing in the middle of the hall with cute smiles. Their figures were curvy, their faces were so beautiful, and the smiles on their faces were so amiable. They really looked like they were ready for anything you wanted. However,
As their bodies were spinning rapidly, a breeze blew up, and what was exposed from under the girls' long palace skirts were a few skeleton legs with white bones and flickering will-o'-the-wisps... Such a charming pink atmosphere instantly
Evaporated, leaving only a trace of unsettling weirdness and horror.
As for those maids who accidentally lost a few fingers when they were acting, and even accidentally hit their heads on the tray, there is no need to say more.
All in all, these weird girls turned the fairyland atmosphere in the Palace of Bones into a ghostland, and a wave of cold air rushed down the tailbones of everyone sitting in the Holy See and the Alliance of Gods and rushed straight to their foreheads.
Gu Xiechen chuckled and picked up a glass of blood wine mixed with unknown ingredients. He smiled at the Holy See and the two special envoys of the Alliance of Gods opposite: "We are guests from afar, no matter what you have brought this time.
What’s the news? Let’s have a drink first.”
He picked up the wine glass and drank the thick and fishy blood wine in one gulp. Gu Xiechen poured the wine glass with a smile, and sure enough, not a drop of wine was left.
The Corpse Emperor, Master Baishui, and Master Hanhe, who were sitting on the main seats in the center, also raised their wine glasses.
Master Baishui sighed and said: "Good wine, it is indeed good wine. You stingy old man, are you willing to use the essence and blood of these ten thousand years of blood babies to make wine today?"
Master Hanhe shook his head and swallowed the blood wine in one gulp. He nodded and praised: "It is indeed a good wine. It doesn't taste very good, but it can greatly replenish your vitality. Good!"
The Corpse Emperor laughed "haha" a few times, suddenly rolled his eyes strangely, and shouted angrily at the special envoy of the Holy See and the Alliance of Gods: "Why don't you drink? Do you look down on me?"
The special envoy of the Holy See and the Alliance of Gods glanced at Gu Xiechen secretly. Gu Xiechen squinted his eyes and nodded silently.
Gu Yuru and Black Jack raised their wine glasses with sad faces, and slowly and hesitantly swallowed this strange thing that looked more like poison than wine under the eyes of the Corpse Emperor, which was as sharp as a sword.
As soon as the wine entered the belly, it turned into a stream of heat and surged throughout the body. The warmth in the body was so uncomfortable. But along with the heat, there was also a bloody smell that was a thousand times stronger than before. Gu Yuru
He and Black Jack felt the smell of blood spurting out from every pore of their bodies, and the weird fishy smell almost made them go crazy.
A necromancer from the Death Temple of the Alliance of Gods who was sitting next to Black Jack stood up angrily. He pointed at the Corpse Emperor and roared: "You Easterners have an old saying, a scholar can be killed, but not humiliated!"
Gu Xiechen glanced at the necromancer blankly. Is there really no shortage of idiots in this world?
The Corpse Emperor was also stunned, and then he laughed loudly: "Then, let's kill him!"
A group of tough Mao Zheng generals strode into the Palace of Bones, grabbed the necromancer whose body had shrunk to skin and bones, and pressed him down next to a clump of gorgeous blood azaleas. A man wearing ancient Qin clothes
He raised the black stone sword in his hand towards the bronze-armored general and chopped off the necromancer's head with one strike.
An unpleasant howl of ghosts and wolves came from the body of the necromancer, and a black light wrapped in a fist-sized figure rushed out. The necromancer laughed arrogantly and said: "Stupid, we necromancers have dedicated everything we have to the great underworld.
God, we are immortal beings!”
A foot-long zombie hound rushed forward with a howl, and swallowed the escaped soul of the necromancer into its body. The zombie hound with black skin and green eyes circled around the body of the necromancer.
After two laps, he happily stuck out his scarlet-black tongue, and slid back to the Corpse Emperor's feet with satisfaction, and took a hard bite of the Corpse Emperor's boots.
The Corpse Emperor patted the hunting dog's head affectionately, and said with a sinister smile: "In my Corpse King's Palace, are there really people who are not afraid of death?"
Cold sweat broke out on the foreheads of Gu Yuru and Black Jack. They were holding empty wine glasses and didn't know where to look. Although Gu Xiechen was right in front of them, they still couldn't feel anything.
A sense of security. They were facing the Corpse Emperor, Master Baishui, and Master Hanhe. These three were almost the top three leaders of the Asian Taoist Alliance.
For them, rules are just a joke.
Shivering, Gu Yuru muttered in a low voice: "The two countries are fighting. If you don't kill them, they will come to envoys. If you don't kill them, you will come to envoys."
The Corpse Emperor slapped the case arrogantly and sneered: "I don't recognize the Papal State and the Federation of Gods, so who are you to be envoys?"
Master Baishui and Master Hanhe were sitting upright, stroking their long beards. Their movements were almost exactly the same. Even the immortal smiles on their faces were the same. They truly showed that they were true immortals. Even their eyes were different.
It became soft and quiet, without any impurities. Only Gu Xiechen noticed, why were the eyes of these two people wandering around the vital parts of Gu Yuru, Black Jack and others? How could they be so secretive with the intention of killing people?
Murderous Qi, this kind of 'conservation' skill is really exquisite.
Gu Yuru shivered even more, and he almost wanted to cry. Black Jack's eyes rolled around, and he looked at Gu Xiechen secretly, wondering if Gu Xiechen would kill him with a palm if he knelt down and surrendered now.
He? But Gu Xiechen finally rescued the two people sitting on the wax. Gu Xiechen stood up with a smile on his face and saluted the Corpse Emperor.
"Master, let my disciples handle these small matters. If they are sensible and obediently agree to our various conditions, we can give them a way out."
After a pause, Gu Xiechen said with a cruel smile: "If they don't know what's going on, then no wonder we were ruthless and sent out an army to sweep them away!"
The Corpse Emperor looked at the two old Taoists around him, Master Baishui and Master Hanhe, looked at each other, and nodded slowly.
Gu Xiechen walked up to Gu Yuru and Black Jack and said coldly: "See? I am now responsible for this matter. I will give you a chance to tell your bottom line!"
"Bottom line?" Gu Yuru and Black Jack blinked.
"Bottom line?" Corpse Emperor and other three great masters took out Zhehua. Siren and others shook their heads. Is it so easy to give out the bottom line? At such a delicate moment, Gu Yuru and Hei could be sent as special envoys.
Jack is clearly an important confidant of the Holy See and the Alliance of Gods, how could he give the bottom line so easily?
But something happened that almost made everyone's eyes pop out.
Gu Yuru knelt down on the ground, and kowtowed to Gu Xiechen with a smile: "Yuru has met great uncle, hey, the bottom line is very simple, as long as the independence of the Papal State is maintained, we agree to any conditions! As long as we guarantee
The Papal State has complete control over those 10 billion believers, and we can agree to everything else."
Black Jack bowed deeply to Gu Xiechen unequivocally several times, and laughed urgently: "Our bottom line is easier than theirs. As long as our Alliance of Gods is not retaliated, we can agree to anything. The Federation of Gods is
They were created by that group of dark creatures that appeared out of nowhere and have nothing to do with us, the earth-born humans. Now that they are all dead, do you want to keep them alive in the Alliance of Gods?"
The Corpse Emperor rubbed his eyes desperately. These two so-called envoys just surrendered like this? How spineless, right? This bottom line almost sold out the entire Papal State and the Federation of Gods!
Master Baishui and Master Hanhe were silent for a long time. Gu Xiechen's luck was so good. With just such a word, they washed themselves clean and threw them on the chopping board! No wonder the Corpse Emperor ran away with those immortal weapons.
When he went to find himself, he kept boasting about the strength of Gu Xiechen's luck! It was indeed very strong!
Gu Xiechen looked at the Corpse Emperor, then at Master Baishui and Master Hanhe, and suddenly smiled and said: "Master, the two seniors, 'outsiders' like Cite and Ganglu are all dead, and the rest are...
They are all local human beings in our hometown... It is really unjustifiable to kill them all." He highlighted the word 'outsider' with particular emphasis, and then Gu Xiechen said harmoniously: "How about giving them a chance?
"
His mind was like lightning. After obtaining the consent of the Corpse Emperor and the two old Taoists, Gu Xiechen passed on some of his opinions and views to them.
The Corpse Emperor, Master Baishui, and Master Hanhe looked at each other, exchanged powerful spiritual thoughts with each other for a while, nodded and smiled at the same time, and then the three of them closed their eyes at the same time.
Gu Xiechen smiled, he warmly pulled Gu Yuru and Black Jack to straighten their bodies, nodded with a smile and said: "Yuru, we are all a family, we can't write two ancient characters in one stroke, don't
So formal. Black Jack? I have heard of your name. Well, you used to be very good in Europe. You are a talented person! As the saying goes, those who understand the current affairs are heroes, and you have done a good job."
After chatting for a while, Gu Xiechen took the two of them to the corner of the Corpse King's Palace and muttered for a while, then saw Gu Yuru and Black Jack nodding in agreement. After about a quarter of an hour, the three of them
They walked back to the Corpse King Palace and reported the results of their discussion to everyone present.
Regarding today's Papal State and the Alliance of Gods, Gu Xiechen proposed the following most important clauses:
First, the two countries can retain their independent sovereignty and military, but they must completely open their markets. The Earth Federation's military-industrial groups will participate in their military procurement bidding, and must purchase various military equipment based on a fair and just comparison of combat power.
Second, the two countries must completely unilaterally open their borders to the Earth Federation. The Earth Federation’s military will maintain no more than ten comprehensive large-scale bases within the two countries. All military operations of the two countries must be reviewed by the Earth Federation’s military department.
Any unannounced military action will be regarded as a provocation to the Earth Federation, and the Earth Federation will retain the right to freely counterattack.
Third, the intelligence and scientific research systems of the two countries are completely open to the Earth Federation. The Earth Federation shares the intelligence and scientific research data of the two countries. The Earth Federation has various rights to the major groups and corporate private scientific research institutions of the two countries.
Regular prosecutorial powers are provided to prevent these groups and companies from researching weapons of mass destruction that may harm the entire human race.
Fourth, the commercial relations between the Earth Federation and the two countries are coordinated by the Commerce Committee led by the Earth Federation, and all tariffs and additional taxes are determined by this committee.
Fifth, because the actions of the two countries to split the Earth Federation have caused huge psychological trauma to all citizens of the Earth Federation, the two countries must compensate all citizens of the Earth Federation for huge mental losses and material losses. This compensation will be directly converted into each
resources, the type and quantity of which will be discussed and decided by the Commerce Committee after study.
Sixth, the Holy See and the Alliance of Gods will not allow preaching within the territory of the Earth Federation, while the major sects and sects of the Asian Taoist Alliance can freely preach within the borders of the two countries.
Seventh, due to the harsh "law of the jungle" in the universe, in order not to attract powerful races such as the Romans to threaten the national security of the three countries, the exchanges between the three countries and alien races will be solely responsible for the Earth Federation's Foreign Minister Gu Xiechen.
The Papal State and the Federation of Gods strictly prohibit communication with aliens, and any violation will be severely punished.
Eighth, the Romans are the enemy of all mankind. If there is a conflict with the Romans, the Holy See and the Alliance of Gods will unconditionally assist the Earth Federation in fighting. All armed forces during wartime - including the Holy See's Guardian Knights and the Alliance of Gods The guards of the major temples will all be under the unified command of the Earth Federation Grand Marshal Poison Wolf, and those who disobey orders will be severely punished.
These are the eight most important clauses proposed by Gu Xiechen. In addition to these eight major clauses, there are other provisions such as the "Three Kingdoms Mineral Resources Allocation Act", the "Three Kingdoms Textbook Compilation Act", the "Three Kingdoms Financial Management Decentralization Act", The "Three Kingdoms Civil Act", "Three Kingdoms Criminal Act" and other dozens of reasonable or unreasonable, fair or unfair provisions, large and small, made even the Corpse Emperor speechless.
"This child is too..." The Corpse Emperor said half accusingly and half showing off to Master Baishui and Master Hanhe: "In this way, those two countries have become the most useful tools in our hands! All ugly embarrassments They do everything, they take all the blame, but we get all the benefits behind the scenes...Hey, kid, these terms are too harsh!"
Master Baishui was speechless for a long time. After a long time, he took out a purple gold token and gave it to the Corpse Emperor: "From today on, my Kunlun Taoist Sect will let Junior Brother Xiechen handle it as soon as we meet the foreign affairs disciples and their families in the Earth Federation. Tune it in...old zombies, don't fool the old master!"
Master Hanhe shook his head, and also took out a purple jade token and gave it to the Corpse Emperor: "Same, same. This Gu Xiechen really came into being at the right time, and this luck is so powerful. Old zombie, we have been friends for so many years. , we can rest assured that these foreign affairs disciples and their families will be left to Gu Xiechen!"
If the foreign affairs disciples of Kunlun Dao Sect and Zhongnan Sect and their families are added together, they are a huge force that controls more than 40% of the secular power in Asia and surrounding areas. This power fell into the hands of Gu Xiechen, plus The vassal forces that exist in Jiuyou Dao, such as Xiao Liefeng's Xiao family, can almost call the shots in the federation and do whatever they want.
The Corpse Emperor was not polite. He put the two tokens into his sleeves and said with a proud smile: "Don't worry, we have been friends for many years. When did I ever take advantage of my own family?"
The foreign affairs disciples and their clansmen are basically the secular relatives and family members of the inner disciples of the Kunlun Dao Sect and the Zhongnan Sect. Many of them are even the secular descendants of the core elders of the two sects. The Kunlun Dao Sect and The Zhongnan Sect handed these people over to Gu Xiechen, which actually meant that they had become allies with Jiuyou Dao!
It is not a general alliance like the Asian Taoist Alliance, but a private, secretive, unknown, shared rights and risks - a hardcore private alliance!
Such an alliance is enough to allow the three behemoths of Jiuyou Dao, Kunlun Dao Sect, and Zhongnan Sect to cover the sky in the Asian Dao Alliance with one hand.
The hands of the Corpse Emperor, which are as white as jade and faintly entangled with a trace of black aura, are tightly held together by Taoist Bai Shui's hand, which is green and white with a faint hint of golden haze, and the hand of Master Hanhe, which is white and stable, with a faint hint of purple aura. The three masters hold each other's hands. , looking at each other and smiling, there is a tacit understanding in their hearts.
Master Hanhe smiled calmly and said: "Laojungu's another batch of Void-Breaking Pills is about to be completed. This time, Jiuyou Dao should get a few more pills."
Master Baishui nodded and said with a smile: "Of course, based on those immortal weapons, Jiuyou Dao deserves more than half of the Void-Breaking Pill this time."
The Corpse Emperor reciprocated the favor and said with a smile: "Only a few of my Jiuyou Dao brothers are qualified to take the Poxu Pill. The rest will be given to two fellow Taoists. Your family has a big business and needs this."
The three of them looked at each other, smiled, and nodded at the same time.
Gu Xiechen has reached various terms and signed official documents with Gu Yuru and Black Jack.
The subspace communicator was also set up. Now the controller of the Holy See, Andre, and the controller of the Alliance of Gods, Bobibi, appeared at the same time. They swore an oath with their souls - as long as Gu Xiechen did not break these treaties first,
They will never violate these terms. When the oath was established, a cross of holy light and a wolf-headed black flame were clearly visible between the two people's eyebrows.
Andre and Bobibi looked at Gu Xiechen and were delighted, as if they had remembered something happy.
Gu Xiechen thought of the vicious restrictions these two people had left in his head, and he smiled even more happily. These two people were also convinced of Gu Xiechen's feelings, so they left a backdoor when they swore, as long as Gu Xiechen
If Xiechen doesn't break the treaty, they will never break it! Do they still think they can 'control' Gu Xiechen to break these terms?
"My two grandsons, please obediently work hard for your uncle Gu!" Gu Xiechen laughed so hard that he couldn't even close his mouth.
Once these terms are signed, the Papal State and the Alliance of Gods will truly become slaves of the Earth Federation. Half of their annual taxes will belong to the Earth Federation. Their military and technological lifeblood will be controlled by the Earth Federation. The minerals they work hard to dig out every year
Most of the resources are either donated to the Earth Federation for free or sold to the Earth Federation at a low price.
If the Papal State and the Federation of Gods were still part of the Earth Federation, neither Gu Xiechen nor Poisonous Wolf would dare risk the disapproval of the world to enslave the two peoples who are both citizens of the Federation. But now they take the initiative
They split off and established a new country. When Gu Xiechen squeezed these two countries, there was really no psychological burden at all. Even those pedantic people within the Earth Federation cannot accuse Gu Xiechen of being too harsh on the people of other countries.
Right? That’s what the leaders of other countries are willing to do, and Gu Xiechen didn’t force them to do so!
Poison Wolf, who was far away in Paris, laughed so much that he almost fell to the ground after receiving the treaty payment from Gu Xiechen.
In the past, the Federation had 50 billion people, but when it came to dealing with the Romans, it always had more troops than it could make ends meet. The federal military did not dare to recruit too many soldiers, otherwise it would inevitably be impeached by the Federal Parliament. Especially in terms of military expenditures,
With such a heavy burden, the federal military could not form a large army to fight the Romans.
Especially after tens of millions of soldiers have been put into the battlefield, once there are too many casualties, the federal military will be scolded bloody, and all kinds of clowns who advertise freedom, peace, and humanitarianism will pop up and point fingers at the federal military.
Even if Poisonous Wolf wants to get angry, he has nowhere to go.
But now, the Papal State and the Federation of Gods have actively split away, and they have 20 billion people in their hands!
These two tens of billions of people are not citizens of the Earth Federation! No matter how many they were killed or injured on the battlefield, Venomous Wolf could solve the problem by shedding a few more tears at the memorial service, and he would not even need to spend a penny on the pension.
After seeing the various terms drawn up by Gu Xiechen, the first thought that popped up in Poisonous Wolf's mind was - to resort to militarism and force the Papal State and the Federation of Gods to desperately develop ground armies! Well, with a population of 10 billion, how can
We also need to arm a ground force of 3.5 billion people, right?
A ground force of 3.5 billion people, tsk tsk, how much harm will this cause to the Papal State and the Federation of Gods? Will it destabilize their social order? What the hell is this!
The two countries combined have nearly one billion ground troops. If all were armed with Hercules series combat armors, one billion ground troops would be enough to sweep away 99% of the four-star countries in the Covenant!
Hey, I have soldiers at hand, so I don’t need to panic!
In particular, the people of these two countries are devout believers. These devout believers are not afraid of death. How brave, heroic, fearless and willing to sacrifice their lives will be when they fight? Such soldiers who have been brainwashed by religion
, one person can at least hold up to ten ordinary soldiers on the battlefield!
"What a huge profit!" Poison Wolf happily danced in the office!
The most wonderful thing about life is this! Even if a billion soldiers are dead, they will still do the same thing as the poisonous wolf! They are not citizens of the Earth Federation, and the poisonous wolf will not feel sad even if they die no matter how many times they die.
It's wonderful, it's wonderful. Poisonous Wolf thinks how can the Corpse Emperor and other old seniors be so wise, so wise and mighty? They actually pretended to be dead with a trick of suffering, so that Zite, Ganglu and others were separated. This time, the whole
You can survive just by playing chess. The 20 billion people separated are clearly 20 billion reserve soldiers!
"Brother Xiechen, you are my great blessing!" Poisonous Wolf looked up to the sky and laughed happily.
Three hours later, the most bizarre appointment in the history of the Earth Federation was concocted:
The current Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Federation, Gu Xiechen, was appointed as a special military liaison by the Federation Military Department, responsible for communication and negotiation on the recruitment of new recruits for the Earth Federation, the Papal State, and the Federation of Gods!
Put everything to its best use, Poisonous Wolf has really found the right person!
