Chapter 778 Are you worthy of representing the Celestial Empire?
Coming out of the Prefectural Capital Administrative Courtyard, Chu Chen did not delay and rushed to Yuqin Mountain to take up his post.
Two days ago, when he and his master Xu Ping went to Yuqin Mountain, they joked that the current governor of Yuqin County, Ning, accepted a complicated and turbulent mess for him.
Who would have thought that after going round and round, he would return to Yuqin Mountain, and he would not "escape" after all.
Moreover, as soon as he took office, trouble broke out in Yuqin Mountain.
Taihe Duguan trusted him quite a bit and handed the matter over to him without saying a word.
For him, it is a challenge and an opportunity to prove himself.
He is different from Han Chen. Han Chen first entered Yunzhou Ghosts and Gods Division and was a relatively marginal state capital official. His burden was light and he did not need to carry any baggage.
And as soon as he entered Yunzhou, he took real power and occupied an important position. If he didn't have some ability and achievements, how could he serve his duty?
Chu Chen is not afraid of the complicated situation in Yuqin Mountain. As long as he is strong enough, trouble will be a good opportunity to accumulate merit.
On the way, Chu Chen did not rest. While Teng Yun was on his way, he took out the [Prefecture Deputy Governor Order] from his sleeve and contacted Guan Ning, the Ghost and God Division of Yuqin County, to inquire about what happened in Yuqin Mountain.
What a mess.
"Pindao has met the senior!"
Ning Dao's tone was reserved but also a bit joyful: "Senior, are you responsible for this matter at Yuqin Mountain?"
"Friend Ning Dao, I am Chu Chen. I have been transferred to the Yunzhou Ghost and God Department as the deputy governor of Renzhou. I am responsible for guarding Yuqin Mountain and taking charge of the affairs of demons, ghosts and gods in the three counties of Yuqin, Yunxi and Qingshi. There will be big events in the county in the future.
You can report anything important to me."
"yes!"
On the other side, Ning and others were slightly startled after hearing this.
It is not surprising that a new deputy governor of the state is appointed to the state department. The Celestial Empire changes its leadership, and transfers from various places are very frequent. It is normal for a new deputy governor to be transferred.
But, Chu Chen, this name seems a bit familiar.
As soon as he thought about this, Ning Taoist thought of something, and his expression was quite exciting: "Senior Chu, could it be that you are the one."
"Yes, friend Ning Dao, I am the former governor of Yuqin County."
Chu Chen smiled and didn't say much on this issue. Then he got straight to the point and asked in a deep voice:
"What's going on in Yuqin County now?"
Ning Yiyi was secretly surprised when he saw that he was really his predecessor, and immediately said:
"Senior Chu, you must also know that there is a large casual cultivator family of our human race in Yuqin Mountain. The surname is Ai. There are tens of thousands of clan members and hundreds of practitioners. There are five or six masters of fifth-grade Taoist cultivation.
There are many, and the power is not small. Before, I lived a very prosperous life among the casual cultivators in Yuqin Mountain, but I have never been willing to submit to my Celestial Court."
Chu Chen nodded slightly. He had served as the governor of Yuqin County and had a detailed understanding of all the forces in Yuqin Mountain. Naturally, the Ai family had heard of this.
I have to say that Ning Taoist's speech is very interesting. It seems that he said nothing, but in fact he said everything. The last sentence is the finishing touch.
I had a very moist life before, but the implication is that I am no longer moist now.
"The Ai family has changed their mind and is willing to submit to our Celestial Court?"
Chu Chen was not surprised by this.
The influx of foreign forces from all sides into Yuqin Mountain will naturally overwhelm the original casual cultivators and squeeze out their living space. Life will definitely be difficult. It is normal for them to suffer losses in this fierce struggle and to seek a backer.
Ning Daoyou said: "Yes, they sent tribesmen to Yuqin County two days ago, intending to seek refuge in our Heavenly Court. So, I and the governor Wang Daoyou personally rushed to the Ai family to discuss the matter of surrender. Who knows, what a coincidence.
By chance, the Ai family's enemies, who were offended by powerful supernatural beings, came to attack. Pindao and the county guard Wang Xi are now trapped in the Ai family's formation."
When Chu Chen heard this, he understood in his heart.
The Ai family had offended the great supernatural monk and were desperate.
"You have revealed your identity, but the great supernatural monk is still unwilling to retreat?"
"good!"
Ning Dao said: "The other party is a powerful person with supernatural powers from the Ten Thousand Poison Valley. A few days ago, the people from the Ten Thousand Poison Valley took a fancy to the Ai family's territory, and a conflict broke out. During the fight, many people died on both sides.
Killing people in a fight is a normal thing, but this time the Ai family has caused a big disaster. One of the people who died in the battle was the close grandson of the Green Snake Witch King, the Great Divine Power Elder of the Ten Thousand Poison Valley, the Green Snake Witch.
Wang was so angry that he personally beat up the Ai family and threatened to massacre the Ai family to take revenge."
After hearing this, Chu Chen finally understood the general context of the matter.
It's obvious that the Ai family is really desperate now.
The Ten Thousand Poison Valley is not a small force, but a top indigenous force in the eight southwest states. Its influence is spread throughout the eight southwest states. It is intricately connected and has great influence. It majors in witchcraft and specializes in witchcraft and poison. The strongest in the sect.
Ruyun, there are several powerful people with great supernatural powers sitting in charge, and their power is much greater than that of Yuqin Mountain Shrine.
To the Ai family, the Ten Thousand Poisons Desolate Valley is a real behemoth. If you mess around with it, the Ai family will suffer disaster. There is no other family that can steadily overcome the Ten Thousand Poisons Desolate Valley except the Celestial Dynasty.
Under such circumstances, the Ai family really had no other choice but to seek refuge in the Immortal Court of Heaven.
The Celestial Court is happy to see this scene. As long as they have not fallen into evil heretics, all forces of all races are welcome to surrender.
The only problem is that the Ai family has offended Wandu Huanggu, so the matter is a bit more difficult.
The Ten Thousand Poison Valley is different from the Ten Thousand Beast Palace, which is also a local demon force. They are not completely biased towards the demonic path, but are relatively mild and neutral.
The main policy of Tianchao Xianting's operation in Guanwaizhou County is to combat the evil forces, make friendly relations with neutrals and moderates, and make steady progress to avoid making enemies everywhere and affecting the overall situation.
In other words, the Ai family matter is relatively difficult.
It is definitely necessary to protect the Ai family.
As for the local casual cultivating families who have surrendered, no matter what they have in their hearts, as long as they do not fall into evil heretics and surrender sincerely, the Celestial Court will accept them and properly deal with their worries, setting an example for those who come after them.
However, we cannot act rudely to avoid a major conflict with Wandu Desolate Valley and affect the overall situation.
"As soon as I took office, I encountered difficult problems."
Chu Chen shook his head and didn't think much about it. The five-color auspicious clouds under his feet rose rapidly and rushed towards Yuqin Mountain.
Yuqin Mountain, Aijiapu.
Outside the fort, an army of monks is pressing down on the territory, and powerful men with great supernatural powers are watching eagerly. The situation is critical.
If the Ai family hadn't been operating here for hundreds of years and built an excellent protective formation, they would have been breached long ago and overturned in an instant.
The Ai family in the castle are filled with panic and uneasiness. The atmosphere is depressing and fear permeates the whole family. Even the ignorant children can feel the suffocating and strange atmosphere.
Aijiapu front line, city council castle.
The head of the Ai family, Ai Tianen, saw Ning and his men leaving and returning, his eyes full of expectation:
"Ning Yi is in charge, so what? Did the Celestial Empire send a senior with great supernatural powers over?"
Ning Taoist nodded slightly: "We are already on the way, fellow Taoist, don't worry."
When Ai Tianen heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself that it was different to have a big backer behind him. A powerful man with great supernatural powers suddenly came to him.
The county guard Wang Xi on the side smiled and asked through a voice transmission from his spiritual consciousness:
"Friend Ning, I wonder which senior from the Prefecture Division is here?"
Without even thinking about it, Ning Taoist sent a message with his spiritual consciousness: "It's Pindao's predecessor, Senior Chu. He broke through the fifth level of Taoist cultivation and became one of the great supernatural powers. He is now transferred to the deputy director of Yunzhou Ghost and God Department to guard Yuqin."
Shan, governs the affairs of ghosts and gods in the three counties of Yuqin, Yunxi and Qingshi."
The speaker has no intention, the listener has intention.
Although Ning Dao was Chu Chen's successor, he had never dealt with Chu Chen. After he took office and was transferred, he hurriedly ended the retreat and took over. He did not specifically inquire about the background of taking office, so he didn't know much about Chu Chen.
But Wang Xi was very familiar with it, and the look on his face was a surprise:
"Xian Ting actually transferred Ling Xiao back!"
When Ning Taoist heard this, he immediately became interested:
"Fellow Daoist Wang, you have dealt with Vice Du Guan Chu, and you must know a lot about him. I don't know where this senior Chu comes from, or what his magical powers are. Immortal Court has transferred senior Chu here."
Ning Taoist finished half of what he said, but did not finish the second half.
However, Wang Xi heard something beyond the words.
Generally speaking, people who have just broken through the realm of great supernatural powers and have no accumulation, generally do not have Taoist magic powers, can't control the situation at all, so Ning Taoist people asked about their master's background, thinking that Chu Chen was a direct descendant of the top sect of Immortal Sect.
disciple.
If you are from a good family background and have a deep sect, once your direct lineage breaks through, you may be gifted with a sect's inherited magic weapon. Once you get it, you can use the magic weapon without any need for sacrifice and display amazing magical powers.
Even if you haven't developed any great magical powers, your Taoist magical powers should not be underestimated.
"Chu Qian. Cough cough cough."
Wang Xi coughed. His son and Chu Chen called him brothers. It was really awkward for him to call him "senior", so he immediately said: "The Lingshan sect under the supervision of Deputy Chu is not among the major sects of the Celestial Dynasty."
Ning Taoist and others were stunned: "Then how could the Immortal Court bring Senior Chu here? Outside is the Green Snake Witch King of the Poisonous Valley. He entered the realm of great supernatural powers twenty or thirty years ago and has incredible magical powers."
Wang Xi was also a little puzzled, but when he recalled Chu Chen's heroic record of breaking through the battle in Qingzhou and beating the young Marquis of Qingyang, he had a vague idea:
"I don't know about this, but I think there must be a reason for the fairy court's arrangement."
Ning Taoist nodded slightly and didn't ask any more questions.
After the news of the reinforcements, the solemn atmosphere in Aijiapu became much lighter. Many people saw hope and had hope, and the pressure was greatly reduced.
However, the good times did not last long.
A quarter of an hour later, the army of monks from the Ten Thousand Poison Valley outside the fort launched a fierce attack. With the assistance of wizards who were proficient in formation restrictions, the Green Snake Witch King, a powerful man with great supernatural powers, personally took action to attack Aijia Fort with extremely fierce momentum.
In just half a moment, the external phantom formation, trapping formation, and killing formation of Aijiapu's protective formation were broken one after another. The front line continued to miss, and the defense line became shorter and shorter.
Under the leadership of a powerful man with great supernatural powers, Wandu Huanggu was overwhelming and fought all the way to Aijiapu City.
The protective barrier of Aijiapu Castle is the last barrier of the protective formation. Once it is broken, both sides will be in close combat, with no way to retreat.
Outside the fort.
A group of monks from the Ten Thousand Poison Valley each showed their magical powers, either driving giant insects, or using magical powers to bombard the protective barrier. They came to the city with a fierce momentum.
The strongest attacker was a burly old man in black robes. He was holding a poisonous snake witch stick and standing in the air. Hundreds of poisonous snakes spit out poisonous tongues around him, constantly bombarding the protective barrier, rippling out layers of poison.
ripple.
This person is none other than the Elder Green Snake Witch King of the Poison Valley.
"Hahaha~ If you don't eat the toast, you'll have to drink wine as a penalty. If you don't hand over the murderer to the Ai family, when I break this barrier, I will kill all the women and children of the Ai family to avenge my grandson!"
Ai Tianen's face turned pale when he heard this, and he felt depressed.
If Wandu Huanggu wants the Ai family to hand over the "murderer", although he is not angry, he will definitely endure it and hand over people to eliminate the disaster. However, the other party does not want one or two people, but all the Ai family who participated in the fight that day.
people.
This is the result of the mediation by the Celestial Court.
If he were a helpless cultivator, Wandu Huanggu would probably act even more unscrupulously.
However, Ai Tianen still couldn't accept handing over his clansmen, so he immediately turned his head and looked at Wang Xi and Ning.
Wang Xi nodded slightly. He did not retreat, and his spiritual consciousness sent a message to the outside of the castle:
"Senior Green Snake Witch King, the Ai family has taken refuge in our Celestial Court, please do this for the sake of our Celestial Court."
"This matter is none of your business, so don't look for trouble."
The Green Snake Witch King was extremely rude, but he still had some concerns about the Celestial Empire. He suppressed the anger in his heart, calmed down, and said
"If Aijiabao is really the territory of the Celestial Dynasty, I will definitely give the Celestial Dynasty a face and will not take action easily. However, you are obviously deceiving me. The Celestial Court of the Celestial Empire has not announced it to the outside world. It is just you two juniors.
Temporarily took over the Ai family who had no way out."
As he spoke, the Green Snake Witch King became more powerful and domineering:
"How can there be such a truth in the world? If all the small forces in the eight southwest states are like the Ai family, and they get into great trouble and seek refuge with your empire, and you protect them, wouldn't the world be in chaos? Your empire will treat us with all kinds of poison in the desolate valley.
Do other neutral forces have any respect? Do they regard me as nothing?"
Wang Xi and Ning were immediately at a loss for words, and it was difficult to find words to refute for a while.
As the Green Snake Witch King said, at present, Yuqin County is just contacting and discussing with the Ai family. The specific process has not yet reached the stage of reporting to the Celestial Court and then making it public.
In other words, for all the forces in Yunzhou and Yuqin Mountain, Aijiabao does not yet belong to the territory of the Celestial Immortal Court.
If faced with the strength of demons, the Celestial Court would still be able to intervene forcefully without any scruples.
But for those who prefer neutral targets, it's really hard for them to act rudely. They still have to follow some rules. After all, everything has priorities. Their main target is demons and evil ways, so it's hard to make too many enemies.
"Senior Green Snake Witch King, Aijiabao does belong to my Heavenly Dynasty, please give me Heavenly Dynasty some face."
The face of the Green Snake Witch King was full of disdain:
"I advise you two not to get involved, otherwise I won't blame you for being rude."
Although he said harshly, he was still extremely afraid of the Celestial Immortal Court. He knew that the great magical powerhouses of the Celestial Immortal Court might be on their way here, and he was worried that things might change if he was too late.
Immediately, the mana surged in his body, his aura surged, and the giant snakes around him bombarded the protective barrier with increasing ferocity, trying to destroy Aijiabao before the great magical powerhouses from the Celestial Court arrived.
As long as the rice is cooked, the Ai family is wiped out, and the Ai family is killed in one bite. It is not the territory of the Chinese Empire, and the Chinese Empire can't do anything to him.
Unless the Celestial Court wants to completely break up the relationship.
"Boom boom boom!"
The protective barrier of Aijiabao was turbulent and crumbling under the endless bombardment.
In the fort, Ai Tianen, Ning Yiyi, Wang Xi and others looked increasingly worse and anxious.
Ai Tianen looked at Wang Xi and Ning with hope.
Ning Taoist and Wang Xi were helpless. Although they were fifth-grade super-grades, they had nothing to do against the monks with great supernatural powers. They ignored him at all.
However, they did not retreat at this moment and spoke one after another:
"Green Snake Witch King, the two of us are the governors of Yuqin County and the governor of the county. The Ai family has indeed taken refuge in our Celestial Court. This matter has been reported to the Celestial Court. If you attack Aijiabao, you are attacking our Celestial Court."
!”
The Green Snake Witch King snorted coldly:
"Go away, you mere juniors, are you worthy of representing the Immortal Court of Heaven?"
When Ning Taoist and Wang Xi heard this, their expressions turned ugly and they were about to say something else.
At this moment, an astonishing sword roar came from the horizon, piercing the sky.
"They are indeed not qualified to represent the Immortal Court, but they are!"
After a sword roar, a golden light broke through the sky.
In a blink of an eye, a Taoist in green with an immortal sword on his back appeared out of thin air, as if he had stepped through the void.
"Pindao is the alternate elder of the Immortal Court Central Presbytery, the deputy director of the Yunzhou Ghost and God Department, and the left deputy supervisor of Yunzhou. I wonder if he is qualified to sit down and talk with the Taoist Brother Wu King?"
