Chapter 392 The sword comes out and the dragon roars, the meeting between wind and cloud
"No wonder the royal family pronounced the verdict so quickly. If it takes too long, I'm worried that I will use the fourth-level monsters and the remains of the snake king to refine the puppet."
When Lu Changan saw the compensation conditions in the edict, he couldn't help but realize.
As the ruler and rule-maker of the Daewoo Kingdom, the royal family makes a ruling on compensation, and its methods are considered moderate and leave room for maneuver.
Anywhere in the world of immortality, the death of a Nascent Soul Lord is a matter of huge impact.
Lu Changan killed the fourth-level Snake King of Dashan Mountain, and the general result has been investigated, and he is on the wrong side.
According to the rules of Daewoo, there is no problem in settling the matter with financial compensation.
Nascent Soul Lord is beyond all living beings and belongs to the top privileged class after all.
If an ordinary monk caused a big disaster and did not have the protection of the true monarch, it would naturally be a "blood debt". The royal family would ask the faction to directly hand over the murderer and offer a reward for his arrest.
In his early years, the evil cultivator Liang Shaotian ran away in such a mess, with everyone shouting to beat him.
"The royal family's compensation conditions are obviously aimed at you, Dalong. We don't want our sect to give birth to a fourth-level puppet master, continue to grow bigger, and disrupt the balance of power."
True Lord Zixia had a worried look in her eyes, thinking about how to deal with it.
It is definitely unrealistic to resist forcefully.
First, the royal family's verdict complies with the rules, and with public opinion and general trends, forces such as Orochimaru will loyally support it.
Both, the royal family has absolute authority and strength in Dayu.
Before Lu Changan came to Dayu Country, there was a saying in this land:
All the Nascent Soul forces in Dayu Kingdom join forces and have little chance of winning against the royal family.
None of the other major forces are in the middle stage of Nascent Soul, and most of them have one or two true kings.
There are two people in the middle stage of Yuanying who are known to the royal family. In addition, they have special backgrounds from the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty, and they also have unknown trump cards.
Its overt power is similar to that of Beast King Valley, and it can suppress the entire Wei Dao Alliance countries.
Over the past thousand years, the Daeyu royal family has records of two or three visits by Yuanying monks, which shows its profound heritage.
Not to mention, the other three major families in Dayu Kingdom are all supported by the royal family and are married to each other. They are semi-dependent members of their own family.
Therefore, all major forces must abide by the rules of the game in Daewoo.
Otherwise, there is no need for the royal family to personally end the situation. The hostile forces and the royal family’s lackeys will take advantage of the general trend to put pressure and take the opportunity to carve up the benefits.
…
"Dalong, if it doesn't work out, I'll take Zi Yan's half of the fourth-level monster materials as compensation, plus two or three properties belonging to affiliated forces. It won't cause much loss to our sect, and it will also give the royal family a piece of cake."
Zixia Zhenjun intends to abide by the rules of the game, but he must bargain on the price.
In her opinion, even if compensation is given for killing the strongest snake king ancestor in Dashan Mountain, the Yunxia Sect will still make a profit overall.
It's just that I made too much before, and now I have to spit out some to appease the "sufferers" who have suffered heavy losses.
The strategy of the Daewoo royal family is in line with its policy of balance and at the same time does not exceed the bottom line of Yunxia Sect.
"Zi Yan doesn't have to be too afraid of the royal family, as long as she understands its bottom line."
Changan Lu paused and analyzed:
"The pressure on the royal family has never been in the country, but in the 'Baqi Mountain' adjacent to the camp and the 'Daluo Kingdom' that once split off."
"The Daewoo royal family needs to integrate the forces of the country and not push the forces of the Three Yuan Yings too hard. Therefore, the royal family's verdict leaves room for maneuver and gives the two parties room for negotiation and bargaining."
Jiang Ziyan nodded and said: "These Ziyans all understand, does Dalong have any specific plans?"
"Keep stalling, and the bargaining range will be larger. Respond to the royal family and say that Ben Zhenjun is still in retreat and has no time to go to the imperial city."
Lu Changan said thoughtfully.
"In addition, make a fuss about two things and declare them to the outside world."
"First, when we were hunting the fourth-level demonic bird that day, the Red Nether Snake King lurked over and attacked first. I acted in self-defense, Lord Benzhen."
"Secondly, Brother Yunlan's death was a plot by Dashan. Our sect suffered heavy losses, and we asked the Daewoo royal family to help seek justice."
If Juan was still alive and learned about the second strategy, I wonder how he would feel.
Jiang Ziyan said thoughtfully: "The first strategy is fine."
"As for the second point, about the death of Senior Brother Yun Lan, Ziyan went to the royal family back then to ask for an explanation. However, the chance battles in the Ancient You Palace have always been about life and death, and the death of senior brother did not occur in the Kingdom of Dayu. The royal family
There is no reason to intervene."
The Ancient Nether Palace faces the entire Central Realm, and there are also monks from outside the realm participating in it. There are many monks from Dayu Kingdom who have entered it, including Nascent Soul monks. It is impossible for the royal family to seek justice for every deceased person.
"It is just used as a bargaining chip in negotiations, and we cannot let Orochi Mountain become a victim. If Orochi Mountain does not admit it, we will let the royal family trace the 'source of the evil spirit'."
Lu Changan did not expect this incident to reverse the situation.
The source of evil spirits involves cause and effect. There are indeed few methods in the world that can completely resolve it, but it is not omnipotent.
With enough time, the source of the evil spirit will slowly fade away, and with the help of corresponding techniques, it can be resolved faster.
"As a bargaining chip, it can indeed be used."
True Lord Zixia smiled, feeling a little guilty in her heart.
My former Taoist companion, Senior Brother Yunlan, has been dead for so many years, but instead of avenging him, I even used it as a bargaining chip.
"In this way, to the royal family, Dashan Mountain responds like this. The death of the Chiyou Snake King was caused by our sect, Xiang Zhenjun, in self-defense. The Yunxia Sect is willing to take out a thousand low-grade spiritual stones to express condolences and condolences to the friend sect."
Lu Changan first taught Jiang Ziyan how to chop with a knife.
"A thousand low-grade spiritual stones?"
Zhenjun Zixia was stunned. The blow was too harsh. It was simply an insult. She sent the beggar away.
However, Jiang Ziyan still understood Lu Changan's intention and sent someone to respond to the matter to the royal family and Dashan Mountain.
…
Two days later, the royal family and the top brass of Dashan Mountain received responses from the Yunxia Sect.
The two True Lords of Dashen Mountain were furious about this. Unexpectedly, the Yunxia Sect would defeat them all and would also investigate the cause of True Lord Yunlan's death that year.
It is even more insulting to express condolences to a friend who has a thousand low-grade spiritual stones.
When the senior members of the royal family received a response, they were also shocked and looked at each other.
To this end, Emperor Yu appointed several elders to discuss countermeasures.
"Acting strategically like this is not like Zhenjun Zixia's style."
Yu Yuanjin of the royal family frowned slightly.
Based on his understanding of Jiang Ziyan, this fairy still cares about face and would not be so rogue or cunning.
"Ahem! It should be that kid, he is really difficult to deal with."
Tie Suan Zhenjun smiled and did not propose any countermeasures.
He didn't want to lose his vitality and longevity on a stranger like Xiang Dalong for something that was neither big nor small.
Xiang Dalong did not openly disobey, his strategy was to delay and slowly negotiate and bargain.
Facing the Yunxia Sect of the Three Yuan Yings, the Dayu royal family cannot exert too much pressure, as this involves the stability of the country's immortal cultivation world.
In the days that followed, the royal family acted as an intermediary and allowed representatives of the two sects to negotiate together in the imperial city.
The mother-in-laws of both parties argued that they were right, bargained over the price, and got into a long war of words.
Unconsciously, it took more than half a year.
Representatives from both sides of the negotiation were exhausted mentally and physically, and no consensus could be reached.
In the second half of the negotiation, Yunxia Sect even bluntly stated that the materials for the fourth-level monsters and the remains of the Snake King had been consumed and could not be used as compensation.
Rumors also spread from the top leaders of Yunxia Sect that Xiang Zhenjun failed to attack the fourth-level puppet refining master and wasted a lot of materials.
…
Yunxia Sect, Underground Palace Dojo.
Lu Changan and Jiang Ziyan stood side by side in the fighting arena, secretly testing a three-foot-tall flying tiger puppet with red and black fur.
The Flying Tiger Puppet is as fast as lightning, controls the flying sand and black wind, and its whistling sound is shocking to the soul. The power it exudes is enough to frighten a real person in the late stage of pill formation.
"Zi Yan, thanks to the precious materials provided by the sect, otherwise the quasi-fourth-level flying tiger puppet would not be able to be successfully created so smoothly."
Lu Changan handed the puppet control token to Fairy Zixia.
Zhenjun Zixia only has half of the body materials of a fourth-level monster, but the sect and herself have a lot of treasures and reserves. In addition, during the demonic disaster, she purchased from various channels, and it took two years to gather the materials for the fourth-level puppet.
Material.
This is the influence of the sect's power. It would be difficult for casual cultivators to be so efficient.
"Dalong has become a quasi-fourth-level puppet master at this age. With his longevity in the Nascent Soul stage, he will become a puppet master sooner or later."
Zhenjun Zixia was satisfied with the strength of the fourth-level puppet and praised it happily.
There is also a success rate in refining a puppet. If you are not careful, the quality of the designed puppet may be degraded.
Fortunately, Lu Changan is already a quasi-fourth-level puppet master, and he has the guidance of Master Wei. This time he builds it, which is a rare opportunity to practice.
"Thanks to the blessings of the disciples of the sect. In the past few years during the demonic disaster, the quality of a certain family's military formation puppets has all been upgraded to the third level of high quality."
Lu Changan said with a smile.
The previous puppet army formations and peripheral puppets were all high-quality products in the third-order middle grade. Thanks to the demon disaster and the efforts of the sect, they were all upgraded to the third-order high grade.
The power of the puppet army formation has greatly increased. It is not easy for a true fourth-level blue-armored puppet to fall into it.
However, the limitations of the puppet military formation are still there. Only positional warfare and defensive warfare can it exert its strength against the veteran Nascent Soul.
Once you get into a fighting or chasing battle, you will be powerless.
Secondly, only the top puppet masters can exert the full power of this puppet array.
In view of this, Fairy Zixia gave up the idea of entrusting Lu Changan to refine the puppet array.
Building such a puppet array requires a huge amount of materials, and it took Lu Changan hundreds of years to build it.
…
Lu Changan said silently in his heart, thanking True Lord Yunlan for his sponsorship.
The hidden space ring obtained from Juan's corpse brought him a big surprise.
Otherwise, the true fourth-level puppets and puppet military formations would not be fully reinforced so quickly.
There are many good items in Hu Ang's space ring.
Among them are fourth-level treasures, elixirs, medicinal herbs, spiritual minerals, etc., including two top-grade magic weapons.
This man also secretly hid some third-level and high-grade monster materials, but did not exchange them for the sect.
In addition, Huaying Dan has two main ingredients, but they are not old enough.
Spiritual objects for birthing babies, spiritual objects for heart tribulation, embryonic treasure materials for refining thunder treasures, etc.
There is actually a good chance of having a baby!
According to the memory of the Red Nether Snake King, True Lord Yun Lan died that year, and his wealth fell into the hands of Dashan Mountain. It was divided among several Nascent Souls, and much of it was sold off in other areas.
Lu Changan didn't have much expectations, but he didn't expect Hu Ang to be of such value.
Hu Ang came from the Hu family in the sect, and he was cultivated with all his efforts, but that was just one aspect.
Lu Changan speculated that True Lord Yunlan hid a small treasury during his lifetime and hid something from Fairy Zixia.
Otherwise, Hu Ang has only been cultivating elixirs for a few decades and would not have such foundation.
…
"Zi Yan, I will be traveling soon."
After completing the handover of the quasi-fourth-level puppet, Lu Changan expressed his plan.
"Dalong, you have to return..."
True Lord Zixia's expression changed slightly, and she couldn't help but hold Lu Changan's hand.
Those lavender star eyes were slightly reddened, and the rippling tenderness in their eyes showed attachment and reluctance, making people feel soft-hearted unconsciously.
Lu Changan didn't know how much true feelings Zixia Fairy showed, but the charming and touching posture of this peerless fairy could easily make people feel pity for her.
"Not that fast. There are things to deal with during this trip. It will take two or three years at most."
Lu Changan comforted softly.
Now, he will be 397 years old and plans to fulfill Jing Wufeng's promise before he is 400 years old.
After turning 400 years old, he will start repairing the transmission channel of Tinghai Pavilion and return to Daqing only when the time is right.
In the past six months, Lu Changan asked the true fourth-level puppet to go out and meet Jing Wufeng in private.
Jing Wufeng was temporarily out of trouble and was seriously injured, and is now recuperating in Dayu Country.
Jing Wufeng discovered the situation in the forbidden area of the Central Territory and used the dangerous environment of the forbidden area to cause heavy losses to those who tracked and suppressed it due to the outbreak of demonic disasters.
Jing Wufeng beheaded another early-stage Nascent Soul; he also seriously injured a True Lord, and the Nascent Soul escaped from his body.
If there weren't two powerful opponents in the middle stage of Yuanying, his spatial magical power could use the geographical environment to slowly kill those in the early stage of Yuanying.
"Dalong must keep his word."
Hearing Lu Changan's comfort, Zhenjun Zixia smiled out of sorrow and chose to believe.
Before giving birth to a baby, Lu Changan traveled for six or seven years and even longer, and finally returned as promised.
Actually, there is no guarantee that Lu Changan will come back this time.
When he and Jing Wufeng went to the forbidden area in the Central Territory, they might be implicated in the latter's troubles.
However, the time limit was about to expire as we had sworn to sign the contract for a period of time.
I can't get any benefits, and now I am unwilling to bear the agreed obligations.
Lu Changan has been in business for so many years, and has always borrowed and repaid favors. He has a good reputation, not to mention the restrictions of oaths.
Moreover, Lu Changan and Jing Wufeng have a common enemy, such as Zhenjun Mingshui, and this hidden danger will have to be resolved sooner or later.
In addition, Lu Changan also has desires for Jing Wufeng.
For example, the legendary method of "knotting a baby with the way of heaven".
According to the scene in the Heart Demon Tribulation, Jing Wufeng said that the method of forming a baby with Tiandao was not a secret to the top forces in Tianheng Continent.
From this, Lu Changan guessed whether Jing Wufeng in reality really had a way to form a baby with the way of heaven?
…
Half a month later.
The Yunxia Sect announced to the outside world that the sect enshrined the "Evergreen True Monarch" and was traveling.
Lu Changan did not cover up his tracks and left the Yunxia Sect in an upright manner.
As a major suspect in killing the Chiyou Snake King, if he runs away secretly and leaves without saying goodbye, the pressure of responsibility will fall on the Yunxia Sect.
The royal family's verdict is not over yet.
Lu Changan left openly, and the news spread to the upper echelons of the royal family, making the current Emperor Yu furious.
Yunxia Sect's previous negotiations were waffling, bargaining, and without sincerity. The delay for so long has already made the royal family dissatisfied.
Now, as a suspect, instead of facing justice in court, he takes the opportunity to go out and travel. Such behavior is to ignore the rules of Daewoo and ruin the face of the royal family.
Yulong Palace of Dayu Imperial City.
On the dragon chair, Yuhuang is wearing a purple and gold dragon robe [Gunlong robe]. He has a plump figure, a Chinese character face, thick eyebrows and tiger eyes. He is about forty years old, with a sullen expression on his face.
This Ninth Five Supreme Being of the Great Universe Kingdom, a giant of the Central Realm in the middle stage of Nascent Soul, possesses a true dragon nobility that is not available at the same level.
"Back to Emperor Yu, Xiang Dalong has a fourth-level demon king and a puppet array at his side. Not only can the two Nascent Soul Lords not be able to stop him, they may even increase his arrogance."
The old man in ancient robes sitting at the bottom of the seat stood up, bowed, and said in a cautious tone.
In the past thousands or tens of thousands of years, there were not many arrogant true kings in Daewoo who ignored the rules. However, after the royal family warned and punished them, most of them obeyed.
"Then let me, the emperor, personally invite this True Lord Evergreen."
Emperor Yu's eyes were as bright as the sun, so that the Yuanying elders present dared not look directly at him, and no one questioned him.
To invite True Lord Evergreen back, the only way is to dispatch the Nascent Soul Stage.
"Yuhuang, we are willing to go."
Several elders present took the initiative to ask for help.
There are people who are willing to go and join in the fun of this fight going downwind.
Even among the giants in the Central Region, Yuhuang's strength ranks high.
"Tie Suan, Yuan Jin, you two will accompany me to invite True Lord Evergreen back."
Emperor Yu selected two Nascent Soul monks, Zhenjun Tiesuan and Lord Tianyuan Sword.
The former is a master of divination, and the latter is a swordsman who is the best in magical power fighting in the early stage of Nascent Soul.
"Tie Guan, do you think this emperor can bring back the rebellious True Lord Evergreen?"
After flying out of Yulong Palace, Emperor Yu asked lightly.
For many important decisions, the royal family will consult the Iron Calculator for his opinion.
"Ahem! If it's just Xiang Zhenjun, it'll be fine."
The Iron Calculator paused and expressed his opinion:
"But if there is help from others, it may not be possible. It is said that Xiang Zhenjun knows the 'Jing Tianzhen' who stirred up the turmoil in the Central Territory. Not long ago, news came again from the forbidden area in the Central Territory that Jing Wufeng was raped by many people.
During the encirclement and suppression of the Nascent Soul True Lord, another early Yuanying Lord was beheaded and one person was seriously injured. According to the royal family’s intelligence, it is speculated that Lord Jing Tianzhen has returned from the forbidden area in the Central Territory..."
"Jing Tianjun."
Emperor Yu pondered seriously, feeling a little wary about this person.
Many achievements have confirmed that Jing Tianjun is completely capable of matching the strength of the mid-stage Nascent Soul, and may obtain the fake spiritual treasure in the Ancient Nether Palace.
suddenly!
The sound of a dragon chanting and sword roaring came from the back hill of the royal family.
Invisible sword energy with light blue dragon patterns rose into the sky, setting off an ancient sword outlined with blue dragon patterns, and flew into the hands of Emperor Yu.
"Blue Dragon Sword!"
All the high-ranking monks from the royal family couldn't help but be moved.
It is said that this [Blue Dragon Sword] was smelted from the fragments of lost ancient treasures and spiritual treasures, and was borrowed from one of the most precious dragon weapons of the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty.
This [Blue Dragon Sword] also suppresses the dragon's luck in the Great Universe and is the main killer.
In the past ten thousand years, many Nascent Soul Lords have died from this sword, including many middle-stage Nascent Soul monks.
Even thousands of years ago, the ancestors of the Daeyu royal family wielded this sword to expand the territory of Daewoo. They were seriously injured and defeated the Yuanying monk.
This [Green Dragon Sword] once drank the blood of a great monk.
"This sword is enough."
The Iron Calculator nodded solemnly.
The [Yuhuang] who masters this sword has extraordinary strength, and is hard to find an opponent in the Central Region.
With the help of the two of them, he was able to deal with the great monk in a short time.
…
On the outskirts of Yunxia Sect's influence, in a teahouse in a border fairy city.
Two people were sitting in the private room, chatting.
"Xiang Zhenjun, you openly met Jing and didn't hide it. Aren't you afraid of causing trouble?"
The man wearing a green silk shirt has light blue eyes, an upper-middle-class appearance, but he is quite attractive, and his expression is leisurely and free.
"Haha, Xiang is in some trouble, and he wants to use the reputation of 'Jing Tianzhenjun' to relieve the pressure in Dayu."
Lu Changan took a sip of tea and said calmly.
"Xiang Zhenjun is really humble and low-key. With powerful means such as true fourth-level puppets, fourth-level demon kings, and puppet formations, he can still have the upper hand even against ordinary mid-stage Nascent Souls. There is no need to borrow Jing's reputation."
Jing Wufeng laughed dumbly.
In the entire Central Great Abyss, he is the monk who best understands Lu Changan's strength.
"Well, Xiang Zhenjun, don't worry. With Jing's current reputation in the Central Territory, as long as it's not a big disaster, the major overlord forces should sell Jing a piece of noodles."
Jing Wufeng had been recuperating in Dayu Country for a year and had a clear understanding of Lu Changan's situation.
I originally wanted to watch a show, but as long as the Evergreen True Monarch showed his intimidating power in the middle Nascent Soul stage, the royal family would not be too coercive.
At this moment, from the hinterland of Dayu Kingdom, three waves of powerful spiritual energy from True Monarch Nascent Soul flew toward the border fairy city.
"Let's go and talk up there."
Jing Wufeng and Lu Changan looked at each other, left the money for tea, and disappeared from this fairy city.
…
Jiugang Heaven.
Lu Changan and Jing Wufeng waited for a moment, and three rays of Yuan Ying Zhenjun's escaping light approached in the distance.
Two of them, Tianyuan Sword Lord and Iron Calculator Zhenjun Lu Changan, both knew each other at the early stage of Nascent Soul.
The majestic dragon-robed emperor in the middle was the first time Lu Changan saw him. It was no surprise that he was the current Emperor Yu, one of the most powerful men in the Central Region.
"Xiang was just out for a trip, but he asked Emperor Yu to move his dragon body and show up in person."
Lu Changan bowed his hand in a bow, neither humble nor overbearing, and met the Tianyuan Sword Lord, the True Lord of Iron Calculation.
Tie Suan Zhenjun saw Jing Wufeng for the first time. After carefully observing his appearance, his heart suddenly sank.
"Xiang Zhenjun, please don't leave Dayu Country until the verdict is pronounced on the Chiyou Snake King case."
Emperor Yu raised his hand to stop him, his voice was majestic.
"Three Taoist friends from the Daewoo royal family, Mr. Jing has important matters and needs Master Xiang to go out. I hope you will be accommodating."
Jing Wufeng took a step forward, and in an instant there were signs of spatial overlap. Two figures in green clothes existed at the front and back at the same time, and the latter one turned into an afterimage of nothingness.
Such mysterious and unpredictable spatial footwork made the three true monarchs of the royal family secretly ashamed.
Those who are proficient in space mysticism are very difficult to kill. If they have mid-stage Nascent Soul combat power, they should not be provoked.
Emperor Yu's voice softened slightly and he reasoned: "We are not trying to embarrass Mr. Xiang Zhen. We only need him to settle the affairs of Dayu Country and give an explanation to all the forces."
"If Jing insists on taking him away, what will you do?"
Jing Wufeng seemed to be smiling but not smiling as he looked at the [Gun Dragon Robe] on Emperor Yu's body, especially the [Green Dragon Sword] floating behind him. The fierce aura it exuded was enough to frighten the mid-stage Nascent Soul.
"Jing Wufeng, don't think that if you control the fake spirit treasure, I will be afraid of you. With your cultivation level and magic power, how many attacks can the fake spirit treasure be able to unleash?"
The sound of Yuhuang's dragon and tiger steps is heavy.
"In a head-on fight, Jing is no match for Yuhuang, but Yuhuang can't do anything to me and Xiang Zhenjun."
Jing Wufeng's leisurely tone revealed confidence.
Yuhuang and the others heard the hint in the words.
Jing Wufeng was confident that he could escape safely with Xiang Zhenjun. If he couldn't do anything to the two of them, he would be offended to death. This would be an unwise choice.
"Emperor Yu, the origin of Jing Wufeng is unpredictable, I can't tell the difference at all..."
Tie Suan Zhenjun coughed and hurriedly spoke.
At this time, Jing Wufeng looked at Yuhuang, smiled and said tentatively:
"If Jing Mou guessed correctly, Yu Daoyou's ethnic group should come from the lineage of the 'Wuyou King' of the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty. He was originally a relative of the emperor and was in charge of one side. Later, he committed a crime and was punished by the 'False Heavenly King' of the Great Jin Dynasty.
The pursuit. If the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty had not controlled Fenghuazhou at that time, your lineage might not..."
"Shut up!"
"Who are you? How do you know this..."
Emperor Yu suddenly changed color, his face twitched and turned black.
The Supreme Master of Dayu sounded urgent and immediately interrupted Jing Wufeng's words, preventing him from continuing.
