The practice world is very large, covering every corner of the Azure World, and because of this, news is transmitted very quickly.
There are only three things that attract the most attention in the spiritual world today.
The first is the war between the sects of the world and the Zerg in the void battlefield, which is related to the fate of the entire blue world.
The second is that the 'Vajra Sect' destroyed the 'Impermanent Life and Death Sect' in one fell swoop. This was a battle of annihilation. No middle-grade sect had been destroyed in the practice world for thousands of years.
And the third one is the ‘Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect’.
Ever since the "Xiantian Yiqi Sect" established its branch "Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect" more than a hundred years ago and moved south from Dingzhou to the sea, this branch has attracted continuous attention from sects all over the world.
"Consolidating reefs and building islands" opened up sea settlements for sects all over the world.
Over the past 100 years, nearly 600 sects have successfully integrated reefs and built islands in sea areas all over the world.
This measure alone has increased the overall strength of Azure World by nearly 20%.
And as more and more sects successfully join together to build islands, the strength of Azure World will grow rapidly in the future.
This is crucial in the face of the coming catastrophe.
In addition, over the years, as the Nanzong's century-old accumulation of foundation exploded, countless inventions and creations leaked out, attracting many greedy eyes.
The biggest reason for this is actually Zhang Ke.
Originally, in Zhang Ke's plan, when the population of Penglai and Penglai reached a critical point, he would establish the true foundation of the sect in the Crescent Bay.
Unexpectedly, he was plotted and pushed to the outside of the boundary to guard.
Therefore, when the population of the nine counties of Penglai increased exponentially due to his "encouraging birth" decree, Zhang Ke was unable to return to his sect to preside over the opening of Crescent Bay.
When the nine counties of Penglai could no longer accommodate the growing population, many people in the nine counties of Penglai had no choice but to leave the nine counties and develop outside in order to survive.
This is also the reason why there are only 12 million people in the nine counties of Penglai, and at least one million people have left the nine counties.
Relying on the knowledge learned in the nine counties, the people of these nine counties quickly established a foothold in the outside world.
But because of this, a large number of inventions and creations flowed out with these people, attracting the attention of many caring people.
You must know that because of Zhang Ke's strategy, the degree of integration between Nanzong disciples and the people of Jiujun is extremely high.
Therefore, under the influence of each other, these countless inventions and creations have spread into almost every aspect of daily life.
Give the simplest example.
A piece of cloth can be dyed in dozens of colors in the nine counties of Penglai. The red ones include bright red, pink, maroon, plum red, orange red, bright red, apricot red, rose red, light pearl red, azalea red and so on.
So many species.
In the outside world, there are no more than five colors of red cloth.
In addition, the texture, softness, comfort and processing speed of the cloth are several times better than those of outside cloth.
The most critical thing is cost reduction.
There are countless technologies involved in just one piece of cloth.
From small to large, we can see how earth-shaking changes Nanzong has undergone over the past hundred years.
This is also the reason why in the past thirty years, countless sects have sent people into the nine counties of Penglai to explore the secrets.
Originally, this didn't matter. As long as Zhang Ke was here, there were several True Lords of Yuanshen in the sect.
Coupled with Qingmei's threat, no sect dared to attack Nanzong easily, not even Yunxiao Tiangong, the largest sect in Laizhou.
The title of invincible under Zhang Kedao was not something he claimed by himself, he earned it by stepping on the bones of countless people.
What's more, Zhang Ke also has the biggest trump card.
【Golden Wheel of Merit】
The existence of this light wheel can make Zhang Ke reincarnated with memories, and his vengeful nature is enough to make all sects who want to reach out think twice.
But Zhang Ke did not expect that he would encounter a Zerg invasion while he was on duty.
At this time, the six True Lords of Yuanshen, Qingmei, Ding Xiaoxiao, Jiuren, Xin Baoshan, Suqin, and Hongxiao, were all summoned.
Zhang Ke guessed with the greatest malice that this was definitely related to Yunxiao Tiangong.
Such withdrawals are usually dispatched according to the level of the sect.
For example, if our sect's 'Xiantian Yiqi Sect' is a sixth-grade sect, we only removed Tianya Cave Heaven Lord and three ordinary souls.
With the size of the ninth-grade sect of the ‘Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect’, only one Yuan Shen could be dispatched.
After all, the average ninth-grade sect only has two Yuanshen True Lords at most.
However, under the strong request of Yunxiao Tiangong, all the soul realms of the 'Nan Sect' were withdrawn to the void battlefield.
And this was notified by a formal edict.
This is wartime, and no sect can refuse an edict that contains the general trend, otherwise the sect will be wiped out in an instant.
After the Southern Sect was no longer guarded by the True Lord of Yuanshen, Penglai and Penglai no longer had the power to intimidate all parties, and naturally they could not stop the coveting eyes from outside.
Although later we invited True Lord Wang Yang of our sect and True Lord Lianxi of Yunxiao Tiangong to take charge.
But in order to invite Yunxiao Tiangong to come forward, the price paid was so heartbreaking that Zhang Ke felt heartbroken.
The inventions and creations developed by the 'Nan Sect' for more than a hundred years have been shared by Yunxiao Tiangong, and 30% of them have been shared.
So when Zhang Ke asked at this moment, even Xi Zhenjun felt a little difficult to answer.
It's really unreasonable to do such a thing after taking so many benefits from others.
But at this moment, Zhang Ke deliberately killed seven True Lords of Yuanshen in front of True Lord Lianxi, clearly showing his attitude and intimidation.
True Lord Lian Xi really wanted to reply as forcefully as before, but when he thought of the fate of the seven True Lords of Yuanshen, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart.
This guy is a lunatic.
As long as you have a little bit of brain, you will never be able to kill seven True Lords of Yuanshen in a row.
In just this moment, the 'Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect' had already become enemies with the seven sects, and they were still determined to fight to the death.
What's more, there are hundreds of Jindan Masters and countless practitioners. The sects involved by these people are probably in the hundreds.
The 'Xiantian Yiqi South Sect' is now just a ninth-grade sect. Even if the 'Xiantian Yiqi Sect' is added, it is definitely no match for these sects.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Lian Xi Zhenjun didn't know what supported Zhang Ke to dare to do this, but he didn't want to anger this person at the moment.
Even though he comes from Yunxiao Tiangong, once he goes crazy, he probably won't have any scruples at all.
With Zhang Ke's previous methods, he was probably the eighth person to die today.
After a moment of silence, Zhenjun Lian Xi stood up and bowed halfway to Zhang Ke.
"Master Ruyi, Lian Xi did something wrong in this matter. He has indeed taken advantage of some people in recent years.
I am willing to hand over all these benefits and make certain compensation."
The eyelids of Zhenjun Chengyun and Xiao Bailing on the side twitched. Didn't Zhenjun Lianxi's words give Zhang Ke leverage?
Little did he know that Lord Lian Xi was also smiling bitterly to himself.
At this time, he had come to his senses. Zhang Ke was trying to drag him into trouble.
But Zhang Ke directly pointed out this matter, which also meant that there was no room for maneuver.
Seeing Zhenjun Lianxi bow his head, Zhang Ke decided to put the matter aside for the time being.
There is no way, the ‘Thirty-Three Heavens Palace in the Sky’ is the largest sect in Laizhou, and there are many masters in the sect.
Although Zhang Ke has been repeatedly plotted against him, without completely falling out, since he is relying on others, don't think about getting justice.
However, since Yunxiao Tiangong is so careless in doing things this time, don't blame yourself for taking advantage of it.
Thinking of this, Zhang Ke directly helped Zhenjun Lianxi up and said with a smile:
"I think it's because our sect has insufficient resources for fellow Taoists that they are so stretched.
Besides, compensation is nothing special. Let's just regard it as the reward for fellow Taoists to guard this place.
but..."
Zhang Ke changed his subject and continued:
"But Fellow Taoist needs to list these sects and True Lord Yuanshen who bribed fellow Taoist. I want to seek justice from them."
Hearing these words, True Lord Chengyun's pupils shrank slightly.
Hearing this, Zhang Ke didn't want to give up after killing seven True Lords of Yuanshen.
At the same time, she also secretly felt lucky that she actually came here to learn about the many secrets of the ‘Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect’.
She had only been here for two months, but everything she saw dazzled her.
Today she found Lord Lian Xi with the intention of bribing him so that he would turn a blind eye to her upcoming actions.
She thought that Xiao Bailing's reason for coming was the same as hers, but she never expected to see a scene that made her extremely horrified.
The only thing she was glad about at this moment was that she hadn't had time to do anything yet.
True Lord Lian Xi pondered for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said:
"Can."
After he finished speaking, he saw that Zhang Ke was still looking at him. Without hesitation, he took out the rune paper and personally wrote the names of hundreds of sects on the paper and handed it to Zhang Ke.
Zhang Ke didn't check it at all after taking it, but instead sent word that Xu Qingzhi was here.
The 'Nan Sect' has a strong control over the nine counties of Penglai. It has been clearly found out which sects have done anything.
All he wants is this list written by Zhenjun Lianxi himself.
After a while, Xu Qingzhi came to the main hall.
Zhang Ke handed the list to Xu Qingzhi and ordered:
"File a complaint to the sixty high-ranking sects in this realm.
As a ninth-grade sect, our sect obeyed the edict and sent all seven true kings to fight in the void.
However, hundreds of sects sent disciples to sneak into our sect to kill my disciples and massacre my people, which exposed numerous secrets of our sect. I request the top-ranking sects to uphold justice for our sect.
If we don’t give an explanation for this matter, we will refuse to go to war if there is another recruitment in the future.”
As soon as these words came out, not only Lian Xi Zhenjun and the other three people were shocked, but even Xu Qingzhi also showed a look of horror.
Just as he was about to speak, Zhang Ke continued:
"In addition, send sect letters to these hundreds of sects to ask them to explain this matter."
Xu Qingzhi hesitated for a moment and said:
"Doing this may create countless enemies for our sect!"
Zhang Ke waved his hand and said:
"It doesn't matter. Since they don't follow the rules, I can't be blamed.
At this time, I am struggling to suppress the eighty-eight Zerg leaders with secret methods.
If any sect dares to assassinate you, I will go to their mountain gate and attack them. If you can't suppress them, don't blame me for letting three or five of them come out."
‘Ss—!’
Zhenjun Lian Xi took a breath of air.
threaten!
A naked threat!
I heard Zhang Ke say angrily:
"Don't change a word, just put my threat directly into the letter.
In each letter, list those who have caused harm to the department in descending order so that they can see clearly.
If these sects don't give me an explanation, I will visit each sect one by one.
He NND, his sect fought desperately in the void, but his home was almost ransacked.
If I don’t give them some color, I really think I have no temper!”
Xu Qingzhi was a little hesitant and was about to speak out to dissuade Zhang Ke from staring at Bai Sensen and shouted:
"Go for it!"
Xu Qingzhi did not dare to delay, and after giving a slight salute, he hurried away.
The air in the hall was stagnant, and both Chengyun Zhenjun and Xiao Bailing were a little timid, as silent as a cicada and did not dare to say anything.
"Ahem!"
Zhenjun Lian Xi coughed twice, swallowed, squeezed out a smile and said softly:
"Master Ruyi, please think twice about this matter. If you really want to send such a letter, there will be no room for change."
At this time, he deeply regretted taking this guarding job.
Once Zhang Ke really acts so recklessly, he will definitely attract countless eyes.
The life and death of the 'Xiantian Yiqi Nanzong' has nothing to do with him, but if Zhang Ke goes crazy because he accepts benefits from others, it will definitely cause him countless troubles.
Zhang Ke waved his hand decisively and said:
"Fellow Taoist Lianxi does not need to plead for these sects. If you dare to do it, you must dare to do it."
At this moment, Zhenjun Lianxi just wanted to curse "MMP". Is he pleading for those sects?
Before he could speak, Zhang Ke continued:
"Even fellow Taoist Xi has seen what happened before.
Xiao Penglai is the gate of my ‘Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect’. Not only does it have many secrets, it is also the face of this sect.
These True Lords of Yuanshen have used their spiritual thoughts to explore the secrets of their sect unscrupulously for decades.
Under the prying eyes of these spiritual thoughts, the disciples of our sect became panic-stricken, which caused such a bad impact.
This is not only provoking me, but also trampling on the dignity of our sect!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! It is tolerable, but what is unbearable!
If someone were to explore the mountain gate of Yunxiao Tiangong day and night with their spiritual thoughts, would Yunxiao Tiangong give up?
If these hundreds of sects are willing to let me go to his mountain gate to investigate with my spiritual thoughts for a year, then I will expose this matter."
True Lord Lian Xi opened his mouth wide, but could not say a word.
Zhang Ke's words are absolutely correct. If someone dares to go to Tiangong to spy openly with spiritual thoughts, they will only be greeted by the most brutal revenge from Yunxiao Tiangong.
Zhang Ke glanced around the three of them and continued:
"Isn't the reason why they dare to do this just because our soul is not there and there is nothing we can do against them?
So in order to avoid the same thing happening in the future, we will never compromise this time."
Zhenjun Lian Xi stayed for a moment and said with difficulty:
"Even if these sects are willing to give in this time, your sect will probably make countless enemies in the future, so why bother?"
Zhang Ke sneered and said in a deep voice:
"Although our sect is only a ninth-grade sect, we now have seven souls.
This time in the void battlefield, my Taoist companion Qingmei killed eleven Zerg leaders.
I would like to see which sect other than the top sect dares to openly oppose this sect.
What's more, the catastrophe of heaven and earth is imminent, and it is not certain how many sects will survive by then.
What do you have to fear from these bastards?"
Zhenjun Lian Xi suddenly understood where Zhang Ke's confidence lies.
The leader of the Zerg tribe is equivalent to the Dao Lord of the human race. Even if it is a little worse, it is definitely much more powerful than the True Lord of Yuanshen.
Since Qingmei can kill the Zerg leader, it means that as long as the high-ranking sect does not take action.
Middle-grade sects and below with the highest cultivation level of Lord Dongtian are not Qingmei's opponents at all.
What's more, there is Zhenjun Ruyi, a lunatic whose strength is not inferior to Qingmei's.
Any sect that wants to launch an attack must think about the consequences of doing so.
'Hey, crazy?'
Zhenjun Lianxi's heart moved.
In the past, when True Monarch Blood Mist, True Monarch Tushan, Deng Fengshan and others brought trouble to the world, why were the sects of the world so timid in taking action?
Isn't it because these people are crazy?
A crazy Yuanshen True Monarch is unreasonable and has no bottom line.
Could it be that Zhang Ke's lunatic-like attitude was just an act?
But Zhenjun Lianxi couldn't help but smile bitterly when he thought about it again.
Even if he is pretending, which sect dares to take risks.
He shook his head and said:
"It doesn't matter, I have done something wrong before and I no longer have the nerve to guard here.
Since the head of Ruyi has returned, I will take my leave."
After saying that, he stood up and said goodbye to Zhang Ke and left. True Lord Chengyun and Xiao Bailing also hurriedly said goodbye and left.
Zhang Ke did not try to persuade him to stay and stood up to see him off.
After the three of them, Zhenjun Lianxi, were far away from Penglai, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhang Ke was too powerful, and when staying by his side, the three of them felt like sheep in front of a tiger, with a feeling that their lives were in danger at any time.
He turned around and looked at the dense cloud-like wave of vitality above Xiao Penglai.
True Lord Chengyun murmured to himself:
"What a terrifying True Lord Ruyi. He killed seven True Lords of Yuanshen without blinking an eyelid.
I have never seen anyone with such murderous intent in my life."
Xiao Bailing also sighed:
"Yes! I'm not afraid of the jokes of the two fellow Taoists. Even though I have left, I still have lingering fears."
That's not the case in Zhenjun Lian Xi's heart, otherwise he wouldn't have left in such a hurry.
The top priority now is to convey Zhang Ke's thoughts back to the sect and see how the sect responds to this matter.
"Oh! Let's break up!"
Following Zhenjun Lianxi's sigh, the three of them went their separate ways and left.
...
When Zhang Ke suddenly appeared and Xiao Penglai released those seven clouds of vitality.
The hearts of all the disciples of the ‘Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect’ stabilized instantly.
In the next month, Zhang Ke temporarily blocked all ports in the nine counties of Penglai, and no one or ship was allowed to enter or exit.
Master Biluo was ordered to lead the Catching Platform to investigate the sect's internal affairs.
Yuan Jinting was also ordered to lead the ‘Dharma Protectors’ to screen all foreign practitioners in the nine counties of Penglai.
Since its establishment, the 'Nanzong' has had a fully supporting household registration system and has strong control over the nine counties of Penglai.
In the past few decades, countless practitioners have entered the nine counties to spy on the news.
Although he suffered from lack of strength and courage, Xu Qingzhi was unable to drive away these people.
But the surveillance of all these outsiders was never neglected, and almost everything they did was recorded.
And this kind of surveillance is not only aimed at outside practitioners, but also within the sect.
Therefore, whether it was Biluo Zhenren or Yuan Jinting, when they started taking action, they quickly achieved results.
Every day, a large number of practitioners are imprisoned.
There was no resistance during this process, but anyone who dared to resist was killed on the spot.
Northeast corner of Xiao Penglai.
Stone Village.
This was established by two brothers from the Mysterious Mist Realm in memory of their hometown.
It occupies a small area, only a few hundred feet, and several simple wooden buildings are located here.
Shi Zhongyu was lying on his back on the roof of the building, with his hands on the pillow and his legs crossed, humming softly a slang song that could only be found in the misty secret realm.
Suddenly his eyes moved and he saw a white cloud flying quickly in the distance.
In a moment, white clouds rushed into Shicun like a galloping horse.
When the clouds cleared, Shi Zhongxiu hurriedly jumped to the top of the building.
Quickly stepping forward and grabbing Shi Zhongyu's collar, Shi Zhongxiu asked sharply:
"Zhongyu! What on earth did you do?"
Shi Zhongyu frowned slightly and said lazily:
"You don't know everything, why are you still asking me?"
Shi Zhongxiu's body trembled, his right hand slowly loosened Shi Zhongyu's collar, and said calmly:
"You...are you serious...really betraying the sect?"
Shi Zhongyu's pupils shrank, he was silent for a moment, and then slowly said:
"yes!"
Shi Zhongxiu stamped his feet bitterly and said angrily:
"You're so confused! You...how could you do such a thing?"
After hearing this, Shi Zhongyu finally couldn't bear the resentment that had accumulated in his heart for more than a hundred years.
He suddenly sat up from the roof and shouted to Shi Zhongxiu:
"You ask me why I did this?
Okay! I’ll tell you why!”
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Shi Zhongyu could no longer control his excitement, and he shouted excitedly:
"Your current cultivation has reached the perfection of the Golden Core, Dragon and Tiger Realm, and you may be promoted to Yuan Shen at any time, but what about me?
I'm still in the first realm of Jindan, Evil Realm!
Over the years, you have come to my place every now and then to show off, and watching your cultivation grow rapidly, do you know how I feel?
In terms of hard work, when you and An Mo were flirting with each other, I was practicing.
While you and your fellow disciples were gathering to have fun, I was cultivating.
When you fell asleep, I was still practicing.
But why are you so lazy? Your cultivation is still increasing every day, but even if I practice hard, I am always stuck in the Earthly Evil Realm and cannot reach perfection.
Why?"
Shi Zhongxiu was stunned. He never thought that the person he regarded as a brother would always be jealous of him.
He whispered:
"Zhongyu, I...I don't know why. If there was a way, would I still hide it and not tell you?"
Shi Zhongyu raised his head and laughed.
"Hahaha!"
The laughter was full of helplessness and grief, and it took him a while to calm down slightly.
He murmured to himself:
"Yes, this is what makes me most uncomfortable. You don't even know the reason and you have already reached the Dragon-Tiger realm.
But as for me, I have been practicing hard, but I have never made any progress.
Tell me, is this heaven being unfair to me?"
Shi Zhongxiu couldn’t help but said:
"Since you have doubts, why don't you ask the leader? He will definitely be able to explain it clearly."
Shi Zhongyu looked at Shi Zhongxiu with clear eyes and said for a long time:
"You are the leader of Ruyi when you open your mouth. Do you want to ask for advice more often on weekdays?
But I never had the chance to meet the leader of Ruyi. Back then, in the secret realm, he took away the magical power he had given me.
In his heart, you are his disciple, and I..."
Shi Zhongyu shook his head and said:
"I am nothing.
Even Senior Sister Jin Ting has objections to me because of what happened back then and doesn't want to get close to me."
He looked up at Shi Zhongxiu's handsome face and said jealously:
"Zhongxiu, you know, I have always envied you and been jealous of you since I was a child."
Shi Zhongxiu was stunned for a moment, then heard Shi Zhongyu continue:
"You never argue, but every good thing is yours.
When you were in your hometown, everyone in the village liked you, but hated me.
It's still the same after leaving home. Leader Ruyi likes you, An Mo likes you, all the fellow disciples like you, and even God likes you.
Do you think this is fair to me?"
Shi Zhongxiu was silent. He wanted to explain but didn't know how to speak.
The two people just stood and sat facing each other in silence.
After a long time, Shi Zhongxiucai said:
"We will talk about this later. Now you can follow me to find the leader to apologize..."
Shi Zhongyu smiled bitterly and sighed:
"It's too late. In order to seek a breakthrough in the past few decades, I have betrayed many secrets of the sect to obtain resources. The leader has the most stringent laws and will not forgive me."
Shi Zhongxiu was shocked and asked hoarsely:
"Have...have you ever hurt your fellow apprentices?"
Shi Zhongyu rolled his eyes at him and said angrily:
"I have had no relatives since I was a child. My brothers and sisters are my family. How could I hurt them."
Shi Zhongxiu's heart dropped, and he wiped the sweat from his head and said:
"That's okay, that's better."
Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly noticed a slight fluctuation of vitality in the distance.
Looking in the direction, I saw a white cloud several feet in size flying quickly into the distance, with several people standing indistinctly on the cloud.
Shi Zhongxiu's heart tightened, and he understood that someone was coming from the Catcher.
Turning to look at Shi Zhongyu, he saw that his face was pale, and he had obviously guessed the origin of the person.
When the white clouds approached and saw the people above the clouds, Shi Zhongyu wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl in.
Yuan Jinting, dressed in a black robe, landed on the roof with a cold face.
Looking at Shi Zhongyu who lowered his head and said nothing, many scenes from that time in the misty secret realm flashed through his mind.
He sighed and said:
"Why bother?"
Hearing Yuan Jinting's voice, Shi Zhongyu's body trembled, and he slowly raised his head to look at Yuan Jinting and then lowered his head.
"Alas! There are some things that once you start, you can't go back.
At first I didn't think much about it, just a fellow student asked me to help him with something, but I didn't expect him to use it as a blackmail, and he ended up getting deeper and deeper into the situation."
Yuan Jinting snorted coldly and said:
"If you didn't take advantage of him, how could you be controlled by him? After all, it's not due to greed."
Shi Ziyu was speechless.
Shi Zhongxiu couldn't help but said:
"Sister Jin Ting, Zhongyu was just confused for a moment, can you give me a lighter sentence?"
A trace of sadness flashed in Yuan Jinting's eyes.
"Junior brother, I don't know that there are thousands of disciples involved in the sect this time.
When the head of the clan issues an edict, all crimes will be punished according to the sect's precepts, and no one may show favoritism.
All the disciples are watching, how can I be lenient?"
Shi Zhongxiu's heart sank, he was silent for a moment and then said:
"Senior sister, if there is a penalty, I wonder what kind of punishment Zhongyu will receive?"
Yuan Jinting also felt very sorry for Shi Zhongyu.
