In the days that followed, the Qingxiao Legion's offensive slowed down.
Although Tianquanzi was scared away by Fang Tiezhu, his arrival still added enough deterrence to Taixu Sect.
At least now Fang Tiezhu can't act recklessly again.
Otherwise, if he is plotted again, he may have to rely on Fang Chang's resurrection method.
In addition, it was Taoist Master Taixu's way of just taking a beating without fighting back that made Fang Chang calm down.
Of course, it's useless not to calm down.
With his current strength, it would be easy to defeat Daojun Taixu, but it would still be a bit difficult to kill him.
Fang Chang estimated that he must at least reach the peak of Dongxu's strength before he could be able to restrain Taojun Taixu's legal ability.
His Space Law is really ridiculous. While giving up his attack power, he maximizes his survivability.
Not to mention that even if he can kill Daojun Taixu, for him, it is actually just a slight sigh of relief, and it does not really count as revenge for his elder brother.
Because the person who really crippled my elder brother’s cultivation was Beidou Daozong.
But facing Beidou Daozong, there was really little he could do.
In addition, without a weak opponent like Daojun Taixu, where else would he find a suitable training ground for his lovely players?
After all, not everyone talks about martial ethics like Taojun Taixu.
Even though he has gone too far, he still abides by the unspoken rule of not bullying the small with the big, and will never bully Fang Chang's Qingxiao Legion with his status as a powerful Dongxu unless absolutely necessary.
As long as Taixu Taojun is more ruthless, with his ability of space law, he is fully capable of switching houses with Fang Chang, forcing one to change, and both sides will suffer.
If you look at it from the perspective of a bystander, Fang Chang has a proper demonic style, acting wantonly and treating all living beings as ants.
Taojun Taixu is an upright and upright person who does not bully the weak and is a good old man.
After all, Qingxiao Dao originally started this war, and Taixu Daojun was beaten while he was staying at home well.
But that's the way the world is.
The bad guys do whatever they want, and the good guys have their hands tied.
…
The confrontation continued for a while, and the Qingxiao Legion's offensive continued.
But Fang Chang and Fang Tiezhu were completely unable to take action because they also had to start talking about martial ethics.
Not only did the Taixu Sect have two equal combat powers, but also because Fang Chang received a warning from the Queen.
"Daozhang Chen, are you also here to persuade me to make peace?"
On the war front, Fang Chang faced the arrival of Chen Tiangang with a lukewarm attitude.
After being the Taoist Master of Qingxiao for so many years, Fang Chang was used to being a self-centered person. He instinctively disliked others meddling rashly.
Chen Tiangang remained calm, shook his head and said:
"Even if you are beaten to pieces, what does it have to do with me? I'm here to convey His Majesty's will."
Thinking of the mysterious Queen, Fang Chang's expression became serious: "Please tell me."
Chen Tiangang said: "His Majesty's decree, you can take action, but it can only be limited to fighting with the same rank, and you can no longer take action against ordinary people wantonly."
"Especially that girl from your family. She is so murderous and often leaves no escape route when doing things. Even I am still frightened after seeing her."
"And you should know that for Your Majesty, we care more about the lives of ordinary people than the Immortal Alliance.
If the Immortal Alliance uses the same method to deal with us, we will only be able to injure the enemy 800 in the end, while we will suffer 3,000 losses to ourselves.
This time, His Majesty helped you to block the accountability of the Immortal Lord from the Immortal Alliance.
But if you continue to go your own way, even His Majesty will no longer protect you. When the time comes, are you sure you can stop the Immortal Alliance from using any methods against you?
I heard that in the Immortal Alliance, besides their Immortal Lord, there are other Hedao Heavenly Lords who have revived."
In the last sentence, Chen Tiangang’s warning is full of meaning.
When Fang Chang heard this, his mind suddenly sobered up.
He dared to take action so arrogantly. Apart from bullying Taoist Master Taixu and not fighting back, the other biggest source of confidence was the fact that he had the Queen above him.
If the Queen doesn't help him block the pressure from the upper echelons of the Immortal Alliance.
Not only did the Immortal Alliance mobilize Hedao Tianzun, but they also mobilized four or five powerful Dongxu masters, they could beat him to the point where he didn't even recognize his mother in minutes.
Although his fists are very strong, he is confident that he can beat anyone in a one-on-one fight.
But facing the siege, he had no confidence in his heart.
However, his background was too shallow and he only knew the powerful Dongxu. In addition to his opponents like Taojun Taixu and Lord Wanling Shenjun, the only ones he knew were colleagues like Chen Tiangang.
He was really beaten by the crowd, and he couldn't even find help for a while.
"I am opening up territory for the Tang Dynasty!"
Fang Chang looked aggrieved, "I have made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty, and I have shed blood for the Tang Dynasty. Your Majesty cannot ignore me."
Chen Tiangang secretly rolled his eyes and said angrily:
"Now you think you are from the Tang Dynasty?
When you were recruiting and extorting money in Qingxiao Road, causing widespread resentment among the people, you never asked the officials of the Tang Dynasty. When you were recruiting soldiers for war and putting everyone in danger, you didn't ask me.
But these are all side issues. Your Majesty's meaning is very simple. No matter how hard you try, you can't let the Immortal Alliance find excuses in the future.
Otherwise, you can just do it on your own."
Fang Chang's somewhat inflated mind in recent times was directly suppressed by Chen Tiangang's words.
Yes, he is not yet qualified to be unscrupulous.
Although he has found his own path, it will take time.
"I see."
Fang Chang took a deep breath and calmed down.
"Next, I will restrain Tie Zhu and won't let her take action casually."
Seeing Fang Chang's appearance, Chen Tiangang also put away his business-like expression and sighed:
"I have also heard about your eldest brother."
"I can only say that you are very lucky. Not only do you have a sister who can support you through life and death, but you also have an elder brother who gives up your path for you."
"But the Beidou Dao Sect was the first sect in the Beidou Great World back then, and the Beidou Heavenly Lord was the first Hedao Heavenly Lord after the birth of the great world. He is the oldest and is revered as the Immortal Lord by the world.
There are even legends that Beidou Tianzun has already broken through to a realm above Hedao, and is only one step away from becoming an immortal immortal.
Although we have broken through the realm of caves and voids, facing such a character, without His Majesty's protection, how would we be any different from ordinary people?
Speaking of which, I almost joined the Beidou Dao Sect back then.
The reason why I was able to gain momentum and become the original Imperial Master of the Tang Dynasty and the number one cultivator of the Tang Dynasty was also because I obtained a Tiangang Time Golden Pagoda, which has the effect of accelerating time.
I changed my name to Chen Tiangang, thinking that I was the son of destiny and could live forever in the future.
But who would have thought that this so-called revival of heaven and earth, the return of spiritual energy is just a game of chess played by big shots.
The more you get now, the more you will get in return in the future.
If Your Majesty had not cut off the causal connection between me and the golden pagoda for me, Li Hu today would be the old man yesterday, and sooner or later he would become an old dog driven by that Taoist sect.
Although your eldest brother destroyed his cultivation, he was able to withdraw from the Beidou Dao Sect safely, which is not a bad thing."
It was rare for Chen Tiangang to show his emotions in front of outsiders. Perhaps it was Li Hu's friendship that moved him and made him feel a little bit more sympathetic.
Fang Chang was also silent.
Maybe for real proud men like Chen Tiangang, the higher their cultivation level, the more they feel a sense of despair.
Because originally everyone was standing on the same starting line, at most one was a few dozen years older than the other.
But who would have thought that the pinnacle of this new world was already filled with people, including old people from the previous era.
Not only did they not die with the old world, but they divided everything early.
No matter how much everyone jumps around, it turns out that they are always moving forward within their framework.
Not only them, but also those powerful monks who have been reincarnated, they are far ahead of the newcomers of this era.
They can arbitrarily select the new generation who can originally become the protagonists of the world, educate them, cultivate them, and use them.
In the end, after a long time of work, the people occupying the center of power in the world were still the same old faces who had changed their appearance.
The new world is inexplicably filled with the smell of decay.
If Fang Chang didn't have the confidence of another big world, he might not dare to speak lightly and stand shoulder to shoulder with those who play chess.
Chen Tiangang may have seen this situation, so he became a Buddhist, living in his own little world without fighting or grabbing.
Seeing that Fang Chang was silent, Chen Tiangang smiled bitterly.
"I am too talkative. To be honest, I admire you very much. You are able to stand shoulder to shoulder with those ancient monsters by relying on your own efforts without any foundation.
These words are suitable for me, but not for you.
You have your own way."
Fang Chang waved his hands repeatedly: "Daozhang Chen is joking. I cannot be where I am today without your Majesty's help. Without Your Majesty, I would never be where I am today."
Chen Tiangang did not argue, just smiled, changed the topic and said:
"Have you ever thought about letting your eldest brother regain his Taoist foundation and start practicing again?"
"Do you have any idea?"
Fang Chang's eyes lit up, he became interested when talking about this.
Although he trained Li Hu, the eldest brother, in the hope that he would advance rapidly in cultivation and become a big boss, he would turn around and nurture his younger brother.
Today, he has far exceeded what he imagined back then. Whether Li Hu's cultivation has recovered or not is actually not important to him.
But Li Hu is willing to give up everything for him, and he can naturally help Li Hu recover.
It is not a blessing to find such a silly brother like Li Hu in my life.
Chen Tiangang said: "Just giving it a try, I have to meet your elder brother for the specific situation."
Fang Chang's face lit up: "If you can help my elder brother recover, I owe you a favor, Mr. Chen."
He took Chen Tiangang and rushed to Daocheng.
Anyway, he can't take action on the front line, so his presence or absence has little impact.
It would be better if Daojun Taixu was willing to take the initiative.
If he is unreasonable, he will make a fuss. If he is justified, he can use the Queen's name to smash people to death.
…
Qingxiao Daocheng.
As a bell fell, white lanterns were hung in front of the Li Mansion, and everyone wore plain clothes.
When Li Hu returned home, Li's father and Li's mother had no regrets in their hearts. After all, they couldn't hold on. They held hands and passed away with smiles almost at the same time.
Arrangements had been made for the funeral of the two elders, so everything was carried out in an orderly manner.
What was somewhat surprising was that those members of the Li family who had never seen their elder brother cried more sadly than anyone else in the mourning hall, and some even fainted from exhaustion, almost making one wonder if they were paid professional mourning actors.
Accompanied by Qin Qing, Li Hu paid homage to his parents and then left everything to his younger sister.
As for the younger brother, there is a saying that the relationship between him and the younger brother is only based on blood relationship.
If we talk about being close, since their little brother was born, they have only spent a handful of time together, so how can there be any closeness at all.
My younger brother is more afraid of him.
If we say that they have a deep relationship just because they share the same blood, then the relationship would be too cheap.
Real feelings are made up of each other's memories and sacrifices.
Moreover, after learning what had happened in the past two hundred years from his talkative mother-in-law, Li Hu felt very sorry for his younger brother.
If he hadn't been ignorant and married a woman with ulterior motives, his father would have felt guilty for nearly a hundred years.
Perhaps my father's life will be happier and he will not remember to ask him to say sorry to his little brother on his behalf and ask him to take good care of his little brother before he dies.
"Husband, I will always be with you."
Qin Qing saw Li Hu's expression of sadness, but found it difficult to empathize with him. She could only hold his hand tightly to express her attitude.
After Li Hu came back, the good memories they had had were like wine stored in a cellar, becoming more intense and beautiful.
Even though Li Hu is no longer the tall, mighty, young and talented person he was when they first met him, and the image standing side by side with her looks more like her father's, Qin Qing is very satisfied.
Because since Li Hu came back, he no longer had to run around for various affairs and spent almost all the time with her.
This is more important to her than her husband's achievements.
However, the mother-in-law had some complaints in her heart.
But she didn't dare to ask any more questions. She just asked her good son-in-law in a roundabout way, when the Taoist master would arrange a good job for him.
After all, a man must have a career.
Li Hu patted Qin Qing's hand and said:
"I'm fine. My parents are both mourning. Besides, it was my initial decision to ask my parents not to practice... maybe I was wrong."
He never thought that in just a few hundred years, he and his second brother would achieve such achievements.
At that time, he only wanted to protect his parents from the dangers of the world of cultivation.
Because even he doesn't have the confidence to be able to stand firm all the time, and he is afraid that he will bring the crisis home and harm his parents.
So just let your parents become rich and live happily for the rest of their lives.
Later, when conditions stabilized, my parents were no longer willing to practice Buddhism.
They have lived their lives cautiously and never thought about immortality. They just think that they are fine now and don't need to change anything.
Moreover, their youngest son was also practicing, but he didn't see any success in his practice, and he suffered a lot.
Li Hu raised his head, looked at the Qingxiao sacred tree in the sky that protected the entire Taoist city, and suddenly asked:
"Second brother, is he back?"
Qin Qing shook her head and said: "Master Taoist Master is busy with affairs, not to mention that he has been here once before, and the person who came here on his behalf this time is Sister Dongdong."
"Husband, your former subordinates all want to come to visit you and have already sent greeting cards to your home.
Husband, do you want to see me or not?"
Li Hu pondered for a moment and then objected:
"Just say I'm in mourning and don't see anyone."
It's not that he hasn't met with his old subordinates since he came back, but unfortunately there are few who reminisce with him and many who ask for support.
Of course he didn't like it.
But it was not his character to refuse directly, so he had to find a reason to decline politely.
Speaking of which, if it were him back then, who would dare to come to him to intercede for personal matters?
Although he is not as ruthless as Fang Tiezhu, does not respect military discipline, and often kills his subordinates, he has always acted impartially in the army.
These people just heard that he was about to die soon and wanted to use his last bit of influence to pave the way for themselves.
"Okay, I get it now."
Qin Qing weakly agreed and suddenly asked:
"Husband, I heard that the Taoist Lord is fighting for you this time, and the front line has been completely fought. Is it true?"
"Who did you listen to?"
"That's what everyone said."
Li Hu smiled bitterly and said: "Second brother is putting me on the fire to roast me."
"Because the eldest brother was hurt because of me. I have to let everyone know that even if the eldest brother has lost his cultivation, he is still my elder brother and no one can insult him.
Now I can start a complete war with Taixu Sect for my eldest brother, and they will have to weigh whether they can match the weight of Taixu Sect."
