The majestic man in front of him is none other than Chu Tianfeng, who is considered the number one monk in the surrounding Immortal Cultivation Kingdom.
"Throughout hundreds of years, Chu has always kept his word."
Chu Tianfeng's voice was clear, the clouds were light and the wind was gentle, and he had a kind of arrogance that was beyond the world.
"On the day of the gambling battle, Mr. Chu confirmed that many Nascent Souls from the Feng Kingdom and Chen Kingdom were at the mountain gate and notified them in advance. Chu can guarantee that none of them interfered in the gambling battle!"
"Is this true? The attacker is clearly a Nascent Soul Lord!"
The reason why Master Lihuo agreed to the gambling battle was because judging from his past reputation, Chu Tianfeng was indeed true to his words and deeds.
Chu Tianfeng's strength was superior to that of his surroundings. When he first entered the middle stage of Nascent Soul, he was able to defeat the combined efforts of the two major Nascent Souls of the Jinyang Sect.
Over the years, its strength may have grown to a higher level.
Master Li Huo was in a weak state at this time and had no power to fight back when he encountered Chu Tianfeng.
There is no need for the other party to lie, and it is even more disdainful.
"Chu asked Taoist fellow Liuyang not long ago, and he swore an oath of inner demons and never asked for outside help."
Chu Tianfeng added.
Master Li Huo was startled for a moment. Since Lord Nascent Soul, who had entangled interests around him, had been ruled out of suspicion... then who could be the murderer?
It is true that there are many immortal kingdoms in the Eastern Region of Da Qing, and there is no shortage of the existence of True Monarch Nascent Soul.
But those Nascent Souls are far apart and have no interest in each other. Moreover, Sanyang Zhenjun swore an oath of inner demons and did not invite foreign aid.
"Could it be...the six sects of the devil's path?"
Master Lihuo was frightened and thought of a possibility.
However, with the expansion speed of the Six Demonic Sects, digesting the territory of each Immortal Cultivation Kingdom, they should not be able to invade the surrounding areas of Liang Kingdom so quickly.
The invasion of the Six Demonic Sects will not be as gentle as the Jinyang Sect.
As long as you resist, the orthodoxy will be destroyed.
Bloodshed and extermination of families are commonplace.
Most of the time, the six demon sects do not accept the sect's submission.
In comparison, the immortal cultivating forces around Feng Kingdom are considered neutral and lawful.
No matter how dirty things are secretly, at least on the surface, everyone still respects the rules and morality.
"Among the six sects of the Demonic Way, there is a special sect called the 'Wu Jian Sect'."
Chu Tianfeng said slowly.
"Wu Jianmen generally does not directly participate in frontal wars. It is mainly responsible for intelligence collection, in order to conduct detailed internal operations, infiltrate enemy forces, and also take care of some assassination tasks."
Master Lihuo said: "Fellow Daoist Chu is suspicious that the monk who fired the cold arrow might be from the Wujian Sect?"
"Just a guess!"
Chu Tianfeng was not sure, "Chu once went to the Xiuxian Kingdom that was invaded by the Six Demonic Sects. He collected a lot of information and came to a conclusion."
"Any territory targeted by the Six Demonic Sects, Wujianmen will penetrate at least ten or twenty years in advance, collect intelligence, and destroy the unity of hostile forces. If it encounters a strong opponent, it will even plan for hundreds of years!"
Chu Tianfeng was at a high level and was the first to capture the movements of the Six Demonic Sects, so he wanted to put an end to the Immortal Cultivation War as soon as possible.
The armistice agreement signed in the Feng Kingdom was to avoid internal strife.
He issued a message to let the Jinyang Sect have a gambling battle with the Nascent Soul Lord of the Lihuo Palace, also to reduce casualties.
Unexpectedly, a third party intervened in the gambling war.
Master Lihuo was plotted against him at that time. He was so angry that he unleashed the real fire.
At that time, the Jinyang Sect couldn't hold back. Since they were so offended, they simply attacked the Lihuo Palace without mercy.
…
Master Li Huo thought for a moment and basically believed what Chu Tianfeng said.
At least Chu Tianfeng didn't do anything wrong in that gambling battle.
However, he still had prejudices against Chu Tianfeng, and now that he was in the hands of the other party, he had no choice but to live or die, and there was no need to be polite.
"Chu Tianfeng! Now that the Lihuo Sect has been destroyed and the mountain gate no longer exists, what does the invasion of the six demonic sects have to do with Pindao?"
Master Lihuo sneered.
"When you united with Chen State and invaded Feng State, Pindao sent disciples to contact you. At that time, you were aloof and noncommittal."
"Pindao led the sects of the Liang Kingdom and 'cooperated' with the men to invade the Feng Kingdom from behind, only to plunder and not occupy the territory. As a result, in the end, you sects of the Three Kingdoms ceased the war and signed an agreement to allow the Jinyang Sect to move north!"
Master Lihuo was very angry when he mentioned the past events.
The Liang Guo clan invaded in the early stage and plundered resources, which was quite rich. Everyone ate meat and soup together, and many of the beneficiaries praised the courage of the Supreme Elder.
At that time, Chu Tianfeng did not warn or stop him. After all, the Liang Kingdom could share the military strength of the Feng Kingdom sect.
Logically speaking, this should be a silent tacit understanding between both parties.
"Fellow Taoist Lihuo, this is your destiny."
Chu Tianfeng did not deny the facts.
"If it weren't for the Six Demonic Sects to expand eastward, and the Feng Kingdom's foundation is too deep, and we don't want to continue to fight internally, I, the Wuya Palace, wouldn't mind your joining in. If we can defeat the Jinyang Sect as soon as possible and occupy the fourth-level mid-level spiritual veins, we will have one of you.
A share of credit.”
"So, I leave the Fire Palace and become the final victim."
Master Lihuo saw through this when he was engaged in a "self-defense counterattack" by Jin Yangzong.
Even if Lihuo Palace did not invade Feng Kingdom first, it would not be able to change the outcome.
It just gave Fengguo an excuse to defend itself and fight back.
"Yes, because you are the weakest."
Chu Tianfeng spoke out and revealed the bloody reality.
In fact, at that point in time, every step taken by Master Lihuo was correct.
If the Six Demonic Sects had not expanded eastward and the Liang sects and below had taken advantage of the opportunity to invade the Feng Kingdom, which had a vast territory and abundant resources, and plunder resources and inheritance, it would have boosted the foundation of the entire Liang Kingdom's immortal world.
The Liang State sect only plundered resources and did not occupy any territory. It was very measured and Yan State and Chen State would not have any objections.
If he succeeds, he will be praised and sung and become a great man in the world of immortality in Liang Kingdom.
In the later Liang War, Lihuo Palace also defended steadily and persisted for many years without making any mistakes.
Unfortunately, the gap in strength is obvious.
The Jinyang Sect has an ancient inheritance. Thousands of years ago, there was a Sanyuanying sect, but now the sect is still relatively weak.
"Yes, among the surrounding Yuanying sects, I, Lihuo Palace, is indeed one of the weakest. Even the breakthrough point chosen by the six demonic sects is my Lihuo Palace."
Master Lihuo looked decadent and smiled bitterly.
Although Chu Tianfeng's words were very hurtful, they were an iron law in the world of immortality that the weak should prey on the strong.
No matter how shrewd you are in your calculations, it seems that every step you make is correct. Neither strength nor luck is there, and the outcome is destined.
…
"Chu Tianfeng, stop talking nonsense. I'll leave it to you to decide how you plan to deal with it."
Master Lihuo knew that in this bad state, there was no possibility of escape.
If at its peak, the Nascent Soul leaves the body, its escape speed is several times that of monks of the same level, and there is still a possibility of escape.
During the Nascent Soul War in the Lihuo Palace, he was plotted and fought fiercely with True Lord Liuyang. He was seriously injured and the Nascent Soul was also damaged.
Not long ago, he was robbed by Liang Shaotian and many other real people, and they used their strength indiscriminately, making things worse.
Fortunately, he activated his secret technique and stimulated his potential. One person suppressed more than a dozen real people on the other side, allowing Elder Wang and others to escape.
In order to demonstrate the power of the True Monarch Nascent Soul, he forcibly broke through the "Xuan Yin Heavy Water Formation" that restrained him at any cost, and killed two or three True Monarchs, letting out a bad breath.
As a result, his body was almost completely scrapped, his lamp ran out of oil, and he almost fainted.
"Fellow Taoist Lihuo, Mr. Chu wants to take your life, why do you need to do it today?"
Chu Tianfeng shook his head and chuckled:
"The previous gambling war was due to Mr. Chu's poor thinking and caused heavy losses to your palace."
Um?
Hearing this, Master Lihuo couldn't help but be surprised and vaguely guessed the other party's intention.
Chu Tianfeng showed a slight apology and took out a long jade box.
"This fourth-level thousand-year-old soul-nurturing tree will help fellow Taoists nourish the Nascent Soul, find a good physical body, and restore full strength as soon as possible."
Master Lihuo has overstretched his life, and his body has been seriously injured. Even if it is repaired, it will not be able to exert half of its strength.
Nascent Soul was also damaged, but it was better.
The fourth-level soul-nurturing wood can nourish the soul and slowly repair the injuries of the Nascent Soul. Even for Nascent Soul monks, it is a rare spiritual object in the world.
Chu Tianfeng took out such treasures and expressed his apology, which shows that he is sincere to a certain extent.
Master Lihuo was not polite. He took the jade box and scanned it with his consciousness.
Chu Tianfeng was one of the main reasons for the destruction of Lihuo Palace, and the resentment in his heart was only slightly relieved.
With this soul-nourishing tree nourishing the damaged and withered Nascent Soul, his remaining lifespan may be slightly extended.
"When Wuya Palace moves north and takes over the Feng Kingdom, the original fourth-level spiritual veins of the Yan Kingdom Mountain Gate can be used by the Lihuo Palace to settle in and practice."
Chu Tianfeng suggested.
Not only the soul-nurturing wood, but also the mountain gate dojo that provides fourth-level spiritual veins?
Is there such a thing as pie in the sky?
Lihuo Zhenren's heart was like a mirror, and he said in embarrassment: "My Lihuo Palace has suffered heavy losses, and its members have fled in all directions. I'm afraid I can't suppress the fourth-level spiritual veins of the Yan Kingdom."
Once the Six Demonic Sects invade this area, the geographical location of the Yan Kingdom will make it one of the first immortal-cultivating countries to suffer.
Chu Tian was granted the title of Lord Feng Kingdom.
Not only is he interested in the fourth-level middle-grade spiritual veins of Jinyang Sect, but he also maintains his cultivation in the middle stage of Nascent Soul.
The Feng Kingdom is vast and rich in resources, rich in materials, and strategically deep. There are many Nascent Soul forces that have inherited ancient traditions.
Only by staying in Fengguo and taking control from the center can we have a better chance of fighting against the demonic invasion.
"If Lihuo Palace is willing to go, Wuya Palace will help the major sects to provide material support. If not, Chu will have other candidates."
Chu Tianfeng did not force it.
"Pindao plans to cultivate himself in Jing Kingdom for a few years, and then go west to join his friends in the Seven Kingdoms Alliance."
Master Lihuo saw that Chu Tianfeng was not a hypocritical person and stopped hiding it.
This area made him so miserable, and his life was short, so he lost his spirit.
Nowadays, Master Lihuo just wants to cultivate the inheritance and continue the Taoism.
"Although the Seven Kingdoms Alliance is strong, it is currently being invaded by two major sects of the six demonic sects. Fellow Taoist Lihuo can also contribute his strength if he goes over."
Chu Tianfeng sighed.
The Seven Kingdoms Alliance is located in the west of Jing Kingdom and Chen Kingdom, separated by a vast wasteland of extraordinary spirits, with many mortal kingdoms scattered in the middle.
In the Seven Nations Alliance, the power of the Chamber of Commerce became more developed, but the sect declined and almost disappeared.
Every country has at least one Nascent Soul stage, and the Alliance of Seven Nations also has leaders in the Nascent Soul stage.
The Jing Kingdom's merchant alliance actually followed the model of the Seven Nations Alliance, and some of the chambers of commerce migrated from the Seven Nations Alliance.
It's a pity that I have learned the four dissimilarities. The Jing Kingdom is currently divided into merchant alliances and sects.
Jing State has applied many times to join the Seven-Nation Alliance and form the Eight-Nation Alliance.
It's a pity that the Seven Nations Alliance does not play with it.
One is because of the distance, and the other is that the Jing Kingdom is relatively weak and does not have fourth-level spiritual veins.
Master Lihuo may not want to stay in this lost land, or he may be more optimistic about the Seven Nations Alliance, so he chose the latter.
In fact, he didn't have much choice.
The Liang State area is located in the north of the Eastern Region of Daqing.
To the southwest is the expansion route of the Six Demonic Sects.
To the north, beyond the Black Mist Mountains and Liuyun Sect, there is a boundless desert. The geographical environment is harsh and spiritual veins are scarce, making it difficult for foreign forces to integrate.
To the west is the Kingdom of Jing and the Seven Kingdoms Alliance.
To the east, there is an endless poisonous swamp, full of all kinds of poisons, extremely dangerous.
Going in that direction is the territory of the Five Poison Sect and the Thousand Machines Sect.
The Six Demonic Sects don't want to mess with these two ruthless characters easily.
Therefore, when the demonic trend swept across, there were not many comfortable places to go in the Eastern Region of Daqing.
…
"Fellow Daoist Chu has taken on the important task of commanding the surrounding countries and resisting the invasion of the six demonic sects. I admire him deeply."
Before leaving, Master Lihuo saw that Chu Tianfeng really wanted to let him go, and admired his broadmindedness and determination.
He decided to tell the truth.
"The Six Demonic Sects have entered the Daqing East Territory and become the masters of this place. I am afraid that this is a trend in the future that will be difficult to reverse."
"Oh? Fellow Taoist Lihuo, do you have any good ideas?" Chu Tianfeng's face showed no emotion or anger.
"According to Pindao, there are only two ways to resist the six evil sects."
"First, ask for help from the ten Xuanmen sects in the Central Region."
"Secondly, a Queen Yuan was born in our Eastern Region."
After hearing this, Chu Tianfeng frowned slightly and was a little disappointed.
"Ask for help from the ten sects of Xuanmen. The immortal cultivating forces that were destroyed before have been tried before."
"Three hundred years ago, the leader of the righteous path in the Central Region, the Yuanying great monk, led the ten Xuanmen sects and defeated the six demonic sects. This led to the eastward expansion of the demonic power."
"Now, the leader of the righteous path has disappeared, and the ten sects of Xuanmen are in disarray. There is serious internal strife, so let's not mention it!"
Chu Tianfeng had no hope for the ten sects of Xuanmen.
Perhaps, the eastward expansion of the Six Demonic Sects was originally a compromise with the Ten Sects of Xuanmen after their defeat.
As for the second method, it is to give birth to the late Nascent Soul stage.
For thousands of years in the Eastern Region, no great monk of the Empress Yuan Dynasty has been born in this country.
Even though he is in the middle stage of Nascent Soul, he is a deterrent to all countries.
But the great monk Yuan Hou is on a whole new level. Looking at the entire Tianheng Continent, he is the number one figure.
Moreover, it was difficult for Daqing to retain the great monks of the Yuan Dynasty.
It is said that becoming a great monk after Yuan Dynasty will bring you into the sight of the top forces in Tianyan Continent.
Such great monks would even be invited by Zhongzhou Holy Land and even the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty.
Say goodbye to Lihuo Shangren.
Chu Tianfeng turned into a white rainbow, penetrated the sky, and entered the Jiugang Heaven that ordinary monks could not enter, ignoring the strong wind of dusting gold and broken iron.
A moment of effort.
His deep and clear eyes were cast in a certain direction on the border of Jing Kingdom.
The figures of Liang Shaotian and the demon sect monks hidden in the restriction were easily found by his spiritual consciousness.
"The predecessor of the Xuanyin Demon Sect was once one of the seven giants of the Demonic Way. Later, it split due to unknown reasons, leaving only the six sects of the Demonic Way."
"Before the Six Demonic Sects invade, Wujianmen may try to win over the Xuanyin Demonic Sect."
"Liang Shaotian, the leader of the Demon Sect, has astonishing luck. He is able to achieve what he has achieved today with just a top-grade spiritual root. He is also extremely talented and has cultivated the [Black Gang Demonic Flame]. Given time, he will be promoted to the Nascent Soul Stage, perhaps to the middle Nascent Soul Stage.
He has the strength to fight."
At this time, Chu Tianfeng had a choice to kill this demonic wizard in the cradle in advance.
Liang Shaotian, who was sitting cross-legged in the hidden confinement to heal his wounds, suddenly opened his dark eyes.
"Hiss! Damn! Why is it so cold suddenly?"
Xiang Jinglong, whose arm was bandaged, shrank in the corner and couldn't help but shudder.
…
More than half a year later.
Qingshawan, Qiufeng Island.
In the sky above the mansion, the whirlpool of spiritual energy from heaven and earth slowly dispersed, accompanied by faint clouds of clouds.
"Fortunately, the innate Taoist body has broken through the great realm, and there are no special phenomena."
Lu Changan sat in the courtyard, watching the whole process of Xia Wenyue's foundation building.
Xia Wenyue in the secret room, her whole body covered with crystal ice, looked like an ice sculpture of a goddess.
This is a special situation for practicing "The Frozen Scroll".
"The Frozen Scroll" is the core technique of Da Kun, a sect that perished in the Nascent Soul sect in his previous life. It has its own unique features. Every time it breaks through a key level, it will freeze itself and usher in a transformation.
At the same time, there is a mysterious ice-sealing secret in "The Frozen Scroll" that can freeze oneself into eternal ice.
Even monks whose cultivation levels are much higher than his own are difficult to attack head-on.
In the eternal frozen state, it can also greatly delay the passage of life span.
"The Frozen Scroll" has extremely high qualification requirements, and Xia Wenyue's innate Taoist body is just right for it, and the mana gained through cultivation can also be enhanced by the Taoist body.
Click!
The ice layer on Xia Wenyue's body shattered, and the cassock and robe on her body also shattered, revealing her icy skin like snow.
Her eyes opened, with a cold light like autumn water, and soon returned to warmth and tranquility, showing joy.
Soon, she found that her dress was in pieces. She thought of something, her pretty face turned red, and she immediately took out a new robe and put it on.
"Mr. Lu said that when I build the foundation, he will secretly check it. It shouldn't be such a coincidence, and Mr. Lu is a gentleman."
Xia Wenyue comforted herself in her heart, and immediately used her magic power to consolidate the cultivation base she had just established.
As a gentleman, Lu Changan immediately withdrew his gaze.
Because he didn't consider the development route, he didn't think much about Xia Wenyue.
In this life, before he achieved Nascent Soul, Lu Changan did not even consider becoming a Taoist couple.
But as a longevity person, life is so long, he does not reject the casual love between you and me.
With Xia Wenyue's qualifications, potential, and noble status in the future, it is impossible for her to be so committed.
Even if Xia Wenyue doesn't mind, it will arouse jealousy for Lu Changan.
…
Half a month later, the Xia family held a foundation-building celebration for Xia Wenyue, but it was relatively low-key and did not make much publicity.
Even so, there is still an endless stream of monks coming to Qingshawan to participate in the foundation building celebration.
In addition to the monks from several major families of the Wufu Chamber of Commerce, there are also monks representing the cooperative chamber of commerce.
As Xia Wenyue's nominal medical teacher, Lu Changan was naturally hard to refuse.
He was assigned to the best seat, sitting with the clan leader Xia Hongyu.
During the celebration, Lu Changan drank a lot of spiritual wine and communicated with the clan leader Xia Hongyu.
There were quite a few monks who came to congratulate him, including those accompanying him, so it was inevitable that some unknown monks would be mixed in.
Lu Changan noticed that some monks were secretly observing Xia Wenyue, or during the celebration, they were looking for information from monks in the clan.
This situation is inevitable.
Lu Changan and Chief Xia could only let nature take its course.
Fortunately, when the innate Taoist body is not fighting at full strength and stimulating its natural abilities, no abnormalities can be seen.
…
In the evening, Lu Changan, who had drunk a lot of spiritual wine, returned to the Qiufeng Island mansion.
During the celebration, the rock rat secretly ate delicious food and drank a lot of wine. At this time, he hid in a cellar and slept soundly.
Just give it a day off.
Enter the master bedroom from the courtyard.
Lu Changan looked at the twisted shadows on the ground and couldn't help but notice something unusual.
"Lu Changan, something happened to you!"
From the shadows of the room, a hoarse and deep mysterious man's voice came.
My condition is getting better, please ask for some monthly tickets at the beginning of the month...
An author told me that if the condition is not good, drink more water and never stop. I tried it and it had some effect.
