Facing the artifact Xiao Zhi handed over to him, Zhao Yan did not reach out to take it immediately, but was stunned for a moment.
"No? Forget it if you don't want to." Xiao Zhi said, making a gesture to take back the Sky Splitting Sword in his hand.
"Yes, of course." Zhao Yan said and snatched the Sky Splitting Sword from Xiao Zhi's hand.
Xiao Zhi couldn't help but laugh when he saw this scene.
Zhao Yan gently stroked the Sky Splitting Sword in his hand and said, "Brother Zhi, why have you suddenly become so generous? This makes me feel a little uncomfortable."
When Xiao Zhi heard this, he glared at Zhao Yan and said, "You're getting an advantage and you're being nice. Just take it for yourself. There's so much nonsense!"
"Hey, I'm just curious," Zhao Yan said with a smile.
Xiao Zhi did not intend to answer Zhao Yan's question, but said: "Zhao Yan, go and call Hu Yang over. It's his turn now."
"Okay, I'll call him over now." Zhao Yan nodded.
After saying that, his figure turned into nothing and disappeared in front of Xiao Zhi and Lu Zhong. When he reappeared, he was already dozens of miles away.
"This bastard, he still needs to teleport just a few steps away. Is he showing off to me his ability to teleport in space?" Lu Zhong said a little unhappy.
"He's just showing off," Xiao Zhi said.
"This guy started to tremble just after he became a demi-god. What if he becomes a god in the future? No, I have to deal with him before he becomes a god!" Lu Zhong said.
"I have no objection." Xiao Zhi said calmly.
Not long after, Hu Yang turned into a stream of light and rushed over.
As soon as Hu Yang rushed over, he said to Xiao Zhi: "Brother Zhi, King Lei wants to see you. He is waiting outside the border of our Dachang Kingdom with the envoy from Qingyuan World, waiting for your interview."
"Thunder King?" Xiao Zhi frowned slightly.
This was a name that was very unfamiliar to him.
Soon, Xiao Zhi came to his senses and said, "This Thunder King should be Lei Zun, right? He has become a god?"
Hu Yang said: "Well, Thunder King is Lei Zun. He has become a god and is currently the only god in the Qingyuan world."
Xiao Zhi thought for a while and said to Hu Yang apologetically: "Hu Yang, it seems that your soul killing will have to be postponed for a while."
"It's okay, I'm fine." Hu Yang said quickly.
Xiao Zhi nodded and said, "Then let's go to see King Thunder together."
Lu Zhong added: "The Thunder King is just a newly promoted god, not the Quicksand King. Brother Zhi, let's go see him together. Isn't this too high a standard? How about I go see him on your behalf?"
?”
When Xiao Zhi heard this, he shook his head and said, "I'd better go in person. It's true that Thunder King is a newly promoted god, but what he represents now is the entire Qingyuan world."
After a pause, Xiao Zhi continued: "What's more, the Qi Yan World invaded our real world this time. If King Lei and the others hadn't come to the rescue and desperately blocked Emperor Huan and Emperor Xuan of the Qi Yan World for us, our Kyoto defense would have been
The circle should be gone. This is the core of our Dachang world. This is the life and death of hundreds of millions of people. I must go and thank him personally."
When Lu Zhong heard this, he couldn't help but lower his head and said, "Brother Zhi, my thinking was a little inappropriate."
Xiao Zhi smiled and said, "It's okay."
Lu Zhong said: "Then do you want to call Luo Yiyi as well?"
Xiao Zhi said: "Call me."
Xiao Zhi is an action man who works vigorously and resolutely. Soon, he took Lu Zhong and Luo Yiyi together and rushed through the chaotic space towards the border of Dachang Kingdom.
Soon after, Xiao Zhi met the Qingyuan World Mission headed by King Lei at the border of Dachang Kingdom.
"Zhi Shen." King Lei showed great respect when he saw Xiao Zhi.
"Zhi Shen." When the members of the mission behind King Lei saw Xiao Zhi, they even knelt down to the highest standard.
Xiao Zhi dodged it and said, "We are allies, you don't have to be like this."
Lu Zhong made an invitation gesture and said with a slight smile: "Everyone has come from afar. I, Dachang World, welcome you. I also ask you to go to the imperial city. When we arrive in the imperial city, we can discuss things again. How about that?"
"
Soon after, Xiao Zhi and the others took the Qingyuan World Mission headed by King Lei to Dachang Imperial City.
On the way, Lu Zhong and Luo Yiyi were responsible for accompanying King Lei.
Xiao Zhixi Jing took the lead and drove a floating flying boat towards the direction of Dachang Imperial City.
Hu Yang also relied on this floating flying boat, hoping to hitch a ride.
Xiao Zhi said to Hu Yang, who was beside him: "Hu Yang, tell me, what is the purpose of King Lei bringing the envoy here this time?"
Hu Yang said without even thinking, "They came here just to test us, to test our attitude towards them, and to see if our alliance treaty of win-win cooperation still counts."
Xiao Zhi heard this and said with great interest: "Then what do you think we should do?"
Hu Yang thought for a while and said: "The current Qingyuan world is weak to the core. If we look at strength alone, with their current strength, to be honest, they are no longer qualified to be our allies. However, if we choose
Allies should not only look at their strength, but also their trust in each other. Judging from what happened this time, Qingyuan World, as an ally, was able to decisively deal with us when we were invaded by Qi Yan World and needed help the most.
The helping hand allowed us to preserve the most important defense circle of Kyoto. From this point of view, our ally is quite qualified and can continue to maintain it."
When Xiao Zhi heard this, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Young man has great ideas."
Hu Yang chuckled and said, "What do you think, Brother Zhi?"
Xiao Zhi said: "Similar to your idea, in this world, a trustworthy ally is still very important. Even if they are of no use to us now, we won't know for sure in the future. After all... who can
How can we ensure that our world will not encounter any dangers and will continue to prosper?"
A few hours later, in Dachang Imperial City, in the hall that belonged to Xiao Zhi, all the Dachang World players headed by Xiao Zhi and members of the Qingyuan World Mission headed by Lei Wang gathered here and were discussing.
matter.
After more than an hour passed, the door of the main hall slowly opened.
Xiao Zhi walked out of the palace in a daze.
Not long after, King Lei also walked out of the palace.
King Lei pointed at Xiao Zhi's back and gave a deep salute: "Zhi Shen, thank you very much!"
Xiao Zhi waved his hand and said with a faint smile: "Don't thank me, we are allies, who hasn't hit a trough yet? As I said before, as long as your Qingyuan World doesn't let me down, I, Dachang World, will never let you down.
Qingyuan World.”
King Lei said with a solemn expression: "I, Qingyuan World, will never let you down, Dachang World!"
Xiao Zhi smiled lightly and said, "Say hello to King Yan for me. I'll wait for him to return and set foot on the top of the world again!"
Upon hearing this, King Lei said with a serious look on his face: "I will convey your words to Lord Yan, Lord Zhi Shen."
As the only king of the Qingyuan world now, King Lei naturally cannot stay in Dachang Kingdom for a long time.
Soon after, King Lei said goodbye and left.
A considerable number of the people from the mission he brought stayed to prepare for the establishment of a new embassy in Dachang World.
Shortly after King Lei left, Xiao Zhi called Hu Yang to his side and said, "Next, it's your turn to kill the soul. Are you ready?"
Hu Yang took a deep breath, nodded and said, "Ready."
Xiao Zhi said: "Now that you are ready, let's get started."
After saying that, Xiao Zhi shouted softly: "Lu Zhong, come quickly!"
"Coming!" the voice belonging to Lu Zhong responded.
Soon, Lu Zhong's figure appeared in front of Xiao Zhi.
Also coming with Lu Zhong was Zhao Yan.
Zhao Yan looked at Hu Yang and said in an experienced tone: "Little Hu Yang, you don't need to be nervous. This soul killing is actually very simple. It only hurts for a few hours or more than ten hours.
It's over with gritted teeth, I've endured it, and you can definitely handle it too."
Hu Yang said helplessly: "I will persevere and carry it through."
Xiao Zhi glanced at Zhao Yan and said nothing more.
After a while, Hu Yang's soul-killing began.
Just like before, Hu Yang followed Lu Zhong to kill the soul in Xiao Zhi's alms bowl. Xiao Zhi held the magic bowl and huddled in the chaotic space, carrying the countless people around him.
The invasion of terrifying space turbulence is everywhere.
The only thing that was different from before was that this time, there was an extra audience beside Xiao Zhi.
This audience is none other than Zhao Yan.
Zhao Yan is worthy of being a practitioner of Space Dao.
The other practitioners, not to mention demigods, even those who have reached the primary god level, are cautious when walking through this chaotic space, for fear that if they are not careful, they will be trapped by the ubiquitous space in the chaotic space.
The turbulent flow was torn apart to the point where not even the dregs were left.
Zhao Yan relied on the space laws he mastered, and in just a few hours, he was able to freely shuttle through this chaotic space, even more skillfully than most of the first gods.
In this way, Zhao Yan kept traveling through the world of sentient beings and chaotic spaces, having a great time, and coming over to meet Xiao Zhengli from time to time.
Xiao Zhi let him go and did not scold him.
After all, what Zhao Yan practices is the law of space. Traveling through the chaotic space like this should have certain benefits for him to practice the law of space.
Time passes minute by minute.
As time passed, Xiao Zhi couldn't help but frown slightly.
The time required to kill a soul can range from a few hours to more than ten hours.
As of now, almost twenty hours have passed since Hu Yang's soul slaying. This time has gone by for a long time...
‘I hope there won’t be any accidents.’ Xiao Zhi thought to himself.
'According to what Yu Xuzi said, when a cultivator kills a soul in this chaotic space, the success rate of killing the soul is extremely high, so there shouldn't be any accidents.' Xiao Zhi comforted himself in his heart.
Time is still passing by minute by minute.
Another two hours passed like this.
The little man transformed by Zhao Yan once again traveled through the chaotic space and came to Xiao Zhi.
Zhao Yan also noticed something was wrong at this time. His face no longer had the cheerful expression before, and his expression became serious. He said, "It's been a long time. Hasn't he succeeded in killing the soul?"
Xiao Zhi glared at him: "Stop, don't talk!"
Zhao Yan immediately shut up and said nothing.
Just like this, another hour passed, and finally a faint colorful light came out from the black alms bowl held by Xiao Zhi.
Seeing this vision, Xiao Zhi couldn't help showing an expression of relief on his face.
Done!
What he worried about didn't happen.
Since then, Hu Yang has also succeeded in killing souls and became a demigod!
Soon after, Xiao Zhi returned to the world of living beings with the black alms bowl.
When the black alms bowl turned into black mist and dispersed, the figures of Lu Zhong and Hu Yang were revealed.
Lu Zhong forced a smile at Xiao Zhi: "Brother Zhi, you are lucky to have lived up to your fate."
Hu Yang still maintained his posture of sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed.
Xiao Zhi frowned slightly and said, "What's wrong with him?"
"I don't know." Lu Zhong shook his head slightly and said, "It probably took too long to kill his soul this time, and his soul body is too weak. After a while, he should be able to wake up."
"I think that's the case too. It should be fine after you take a rest." Zhao Yan appeared next to Hu Yang at some unknown time and also spoke.
"I hope so." Xiao Zhi said.
A quarter of an hour later, Hu Yang woke up and turned around.
And as he woke up, his soul fluctuations gradually became stable, and he was no longer as weak as before.
"Brother Zhi." After Hu Yang regained consciousness, he forced a smile at Xiao Zhi: "I succeeded, I succeeded in killing the soul."
"Yeah." Xiao Zhi nodded, and just as he was about to speak, Zhao Yan on the side spoke first: "Hu Yang, what's going on with you? After others successfully slayed the soul, they all looked lively and energetic.
Look, how did you end up like this after killing souls?"
Hu Yang smiled bitterly and said, "I'm also wondering why it's like this..."
Xiao Zhi thought for a while and said, "Tell me about the process of killing your soul, and we will help you analyze it."
"Okay." Hu Yang nodded.
With that said, Hu Yang began to tell the story of how he killed the soul.
Xiao Zhi and the others listened carefully.
Xiao Zhi frowned as he listened. Not only him, but Lu Zhong and Zhao Yan also frowned.
Zhao Yan frowned and said: "Even the things from your previous life have appeared. These things from the previous life need to be cut off by you in this life. It's incredible to think about it. No wonder it took you so long to cut off the soul.
Time, you are twice as happy..."
Hu Yang was a person who died once and was rebuilt after death. This fact has long been an open secret in the world of Dachang.
"After I experienced this kind of double happiness once, I don't want to experience it a second time." Hu Yang said with a bitter smile, with an expression of lingering fear.
