After Duanmu Xinghua finished speaking, the majestic Qi came from his body and enveloped him.
The vast water stretches as far as the eye can see, turning into a sea of true energy.
Above the sky, the two of them each occupied half of the country, competing against each other.
On one side is the black-gold lotus, and on the other side is the majestic sea of true energy.
Then Duanmu Xinghua walked in the air, as if walking in the clouds.
When the black golden lotus collided with the majestic zhenqi, everyone felt that their vision began to become blurred.
Even Geng Tianchou and Lin Tianhai could only see the flickering afterimage, but could not see the specific battle situation.
Everyone was holding their breath and concentrating, not daring to express their anger.
This is a battle between two grandmasters!
Even if you can only see a little bit of it, for everyone, this battle is still an extremely exciting one.
"I don't know who will win or lose, Duanmu Sect Leader or the Cult Leader."
Lin Tianhai frowned.
No matter who wins or loses, it will be extremely detrimental to the overall strength of the Demon Sect.
If Zhao Qingmei wins, Duanmu Xinghua will no longer be the leader of Tianzong. If Duanmu Xinghua wins, it will undoubtedly be a huge blow to Zhao Qingmei's prestige. How should she lead this demon sect?
At this moment, the air planes in the sky were interlaced and strange, and the battle had reached a fever pitch.
After about a stick of incense, the energy began to converge, and the black golden lotus flowers in the sky rushed towards the sea of true energy.
The next moment, the sea of true energy also shrank rapidly.
All the demon sect masters raised their eyebrows.
"The outcome has been decided."
Geng Tianchou couldn't help but sigh when he saw this.
As Geng Tianchou finished speaking, everyone raised their heads and looked at the sky, not daring to blink.
The energy gradually dissipated, the lingering black mist began to dissipate, and Zhao Qingmei's figure gradually emerged, her expression always calm.
Seeing this scene, everyone was slightly relieved, and then looked to the other side.
Duanmu Xinghua, who was in front, looked a little pale. After a long time, he slowly said: "I lost."
Her voice was not loud, but it resounded in all directions.
Everyone in all directions was silent, with a hint of indescribable shock in their hearts.
You must know that Zhao Qingmei has only become a grandmaster for a few days, while Duanmu Xinghua has been a grandmaster for decades, but today he was defeated by Zhao Qingmei.
Even the Tianzong experts present were very shocked.
"Did the leader really win?" Lin Tianhai went there, as if he hadn't come back to his senses yet.
Yu Qiurong looked at Zhao Qingmei who was silent above the sky, and her breathing was a little confused.
Zhao Qingmei asked in a solemn voice: "Duanmu Xinghua, what else did Jiang Shang say in the secret letter to you?"
Duanmu Xinghua closed his eyes slightly and said: "The old leader said that he will return to the sect. At that time, he will enter the Demon Sealing Platform to cultivate quietly and will no longer interfere with the affairs of the demon sect. All matters of the demon sect will be handled by the leader."
She expected that Zhao Qingmei's strength would surpass hers, but she didn't expect that Zhao Qingmei's strength would surpass hers so quickly.
Zhao Qingmei frowned and clenched her fists subconsciously: "Will he come back?"
She is now going crazy and wants to go to Yuzhou City on Jiangnan Road, but she knows that she cannot act rashly. If she leaves alone, when Jiang Shang returns, the demon sect may be turned upside down.
And the paper man responded, maybe the situation is not as bad as imagined.
She now wants to see Jiang Shang immediately and ask about the real results of Yuzhou City.
What happened to An Jing!?
"Okay, I'll just wait for him to come back."
Zhao Qingmei took a deep breath and said coldly.
Duanmu Xinghua sighed deeply and said, "Master, please punish me. I don't have any complaints from my subordinates."
"Leader!"
Lin Tianhai, Geng Tianchou and other masters quickly knelt down and worshiped.
Duanmu Xinghua is a master master, and his strength is rare in the world. If the Demon Sect really wants to enter Dayan, dealing with Duanmu Xinghua at this moment will undoubtedly be a disservice to himself.
Zhao Qingmei frowned, thought for a moment and said: "You can continue to stay in Tianzong, and Yu Qiurong will temporarily take over as the leader of Tianzong."
Duanmu Xinghua is a master of Grandmaster cultivation. If Tianzong didn't have a master, how could he suppress the demons? Now that there are no more masters around Zhao Qingmei, he can only let Yu Qiurong take over temporarily.
"yes!"
When Yu Qiurong heard this, he quickly cupped his fists and said.
When Duanmu Xinghua heard this, she became silent. She knew that this might be the best result for her.
"What about Suzaku?"
Lin Tianhai couldn't help but ask.
The four major seats of the Demon Sect have different divisions of labor. The Suzaku Seat is in charge of the business of the Demon Sect, which is very important. Now that Yu Qiurong has become the leader of the Tian Sect, doesn't it mean that no one is in charge of the Suzaku Seat?
Zhao Qingmei had already made a plan in her mind: "Mu Xiaoyun has been working under Yu Qiurong, and he knows a lot about the business under Suzaku, and her abilities are very good, so this person will now take charge of Suzaku."
"No one has any objections, right?"
Speaking of this, Zhao Qingmei glanced around.
The demon sect masters present looked at each other in confusion, but no one spoke.
Geng Tianchou and other masters from the Demon Sect knew that perhaps this was the best outcome.
Duanmu Xinghua is still in the Tianzong. Although he is no longer the sect leader, he can exercise the rights of the sect leader, and Zhao Qingmei's prestige in the Demon Sect has once again increased by several points.
Zhao Qingmei brushed off her sleeves and walked away.
Yu Qiurong followed quickly.
"Why."
Lin Tianhai let out a long sigh, "The old leader is back, and then the real test of the Demonic Cult will come."
Although Jiang Shang wrote in the letter to Duanmu Xinghua that he wanted to delegate power, Zhao Qingmei's expression seemed to be a little dissatisfied with Jiang Shang.
"Zong..."
Geng Tianchou looked at Duanmu Xinghua, who had been silent, and said, "Xinghua, you'd better go and adjust your breath and rest."
Duanmu Xinghua looked at Zhao Qingmei's back and felt inexplicably absent-minded. After a long time, he sighed deeply: "Our world is getting old."
.........
The outside of the main hall was devastated and in a mess.
Yu Qiurong asked cautiously: "Leader, do you really want me to be the leader of this Tianzong?"
What Duanmu Xinghua said is actually true. Regardless of qualifications, prestige, or strength, Yu Qiurong is far from being able to suppress the demons of the Tianzong. Moreover, the masters of the Tianzong are all masters of the older generation of the demon sect, and they usually think highly of themselves.
, there were even a few people who watched Yu Qiurong, Zhao Qingmei and the others grow up. Zhao Qingmei usually obeyed orders given by Zhao Qingmei. It was undoubtedly impossible for Yu Qiurong to order them around.
Zhao Qingmei said in a deep voice: "I have sent Di Zong Jiang Renyi to the Dongluo Desert. The Tian Zong cannot be moved for the time being. Although Duanmu Xinghua does not hold the position of the head of the Tian Zong, his strength and prestige are still unshakable.
, and the Demonic Cult really needs people."
The Earth Sect had already experienced a shock last time. Not only was the leader of the Earth Sect, Jiang Renyi, deposed, but many Earth Sect masters also had their heads removed. The Demon Sect has not yet recovered its vitality.
Her main purpose this time was to beat Duanmu Xinghua and see if she knew what her master had done.
Judging from Duanmu Xinghua's expression today, she should be confused, and this is why she gave Duanmu Xinghua a chance.
"I understand, leader."
When Yu Qiurong heard this, he immediately understood the meaning of Zhao Qingmei's words.
"There is one more thing that you have to do in person. I don't feel at ease with anyone else. I feel at ease only if you go."
Zhao Qingmei took a deep breath and said.
"Master, please give me your instructions." Yu Qiurong clasped his fists and said, "I will definitely live up to the master's trust."
"You go to Dayan, go now."
A cold light appeared in Zhao Qingmei's eyes.
Jiang Shang is about to return to the Demon Cult, and she has to wait for Jiang Shang.
What she fears most now is An Jing in Jiang Shang's hands.
At the same time, Yu Qiurong is also asked to find Tan Yun, who has lost contact, and investigate the situation at that time.
...........
On Nanping Road, at the foot of Nanhua Mountain, the morning light shines on the lush green mountains.
The huge body of the thousand-year-old black anaconda spiraled down, making a squeaking sound.
An Jing held two white jade statues and stood on the head of the thousand-year-old black anaconda.
Not long after, he fell to the mountainside.
At this moment, Lou Xiangzhen was sitting cross-legged on top of the tall pine tree, his eyes tightly closed.
"Senior Lou, I got the stuff."
An Jing took out the white jade statue in his hand and said.
Lou Xiangzhen nodded slightly and said, "He must be dead."
It seems that An Jing got the white jade statue as he expected.
"Senior, are you talking about Liang Mo?"
An Jing raised his eyebrows slightly, "He doesn't seem to be a master of Dayan like me."
"That's right."
Lou Xiangzhen smiled and said: "He is a southern barbarian wizard. You should be unfamiliar with the southern barbarians. There are ten major tribes in the southern barbarians. They occupy all the mountains in the south. Because the mountains have a lot of miasma, there are many tigers, leopards and wolves, and they are far away from their ancestral homeland.
, so the human emperors of all dynasties did not attack this southern territory. In the past few hundred years, the southern barbarians have learned some things and their behavior has become more and more rampant. In the past few decades, many masters have been sent to sneak into Dayan."
"The Seven Evils Sect is the largest force among them, and it is also directly controlled by the Nanman royal family. Dayan is now in a precarious state, with constant turmoil. The court has no way to intervene to control them. The Jianghu people and ordinary people in Nanping Road are being controlled by the Seven Evils.
The religion has been causing harm for nearly ten years."
An Jing asked: "Senior Lou also wants me to kill Na Liangmo this time?"
"How dare a mere southern barbarian invade the people of my ancestral land?"
Lou Xiangzhen looked at Nanhua Mountain and said: "If you hadn't taken action, I planned to take action myself. It would be impossible for this Nanman wizard to leave Dayan alive."
An Jing didn't say anything. The poisonous insects raised by the Nanman were indeed very cruel. He saw them in the tunnel. The poisonous insects sucked human flesh, heart, spleen and stomach...Such a person should indeed be killed.
Although An Jing did not have any great ambition to help the world, he was not willing to do things that benefited himself at the expense of others.
Lou Xiangzhen continued: "Liang Mo is dead. Although this problem cannot be completely cured, it can be regarded as a wake-up call for Nanman."
At this moment, the two of them stopped talking and looked into the distance.
"Is anyone following?"
An Jing frowned, thinking of the woman he met in the mountains.
Lou Xiangzhen said calmly: "People from Wushuang Palace."
Not long after, Wang Ningshui followed.
She rushed forward with all her strength. If the Millennium Black Anaconda hadn't stopped, she wouldn't have been able to catch up with her due to the strength of her legs.
An Jing looked at Wang Ningshui and said coldly: "Do you still want to kill me?"
"Your Excellency, you are joking. It was all a misunderstanding."
Wang Ningshui clasped her fists and said with a wry smile: "Your Excellency's strength is unpredictable, and with such a strange beast around you, how can I be your opponent?"
Then she glanced at the old man behind the Ghost Swordsman and found that there was no energy fluctuation, but she knew that being able to follow the Ghost Swordsman must not be an ordinary person.
Somehow, she felt familiar when looking at the old man.
An Jing frowned and said, "Then why are you following me? Your Excellency and I are strangers to each other."
Behind it, the thousand-year-old black anaconda opened its bloody mouth, and the huge snake letter was stained with mucus, carrying a strong sense of threat.
Even though Wang Ningshui was a well-informed expert in the smallpox realm, he couldn't help but feel shocked when he saw the thousand-year-old black anaconda.
"My King Ning Shui, Wushuang Palace, has met these two brothers."
Wang Ningshui became cautious: "I see that your strength is unpredictable and you have a righteous heart, so I would like to invite you to join the Five Lakes and Four Seas Hall."
All corners of the country!?
An Jing frowned and spoke to Lou Xiangzhen next to him: "Senior, do you know what this Five Lakes and Four Seas Hall is?"
Lou Xiangzhen did not hide his secrets and replied: "I have heard and seen some of them. They were spontaneously organized by the masters of Dayan to deal with the forces of Houjin, Zhao and Southern Barbarians other than Dayan. They once fought in Zhao and
During the battle between Dayan and Zhao, the generals who blocked Zhao were killed, but the details are not clear."
"oh?"
An Jing nodded when he heard this.
It has been hundreds of years since the founding of Dayan, and its powerful influence has been deeply rooted, both in the market and in the world. Therefore, there are many generous and patriotic people in this huge world. The Wuhu Sihai Tang was organized by them to specifically fight against foreigners.
enemy.
As for whether it is self-organized, only the people behind it know.
An Jing chuckled softly and said: "Now the Zhenyi Sect is searching for my whereabouts. Can the Wuhu Sihai Church protect me?"
"this......."
Wang Ningshui suddenly showed a trace of hesitation, "This is impossible. People from all over the world do not interfere in the grievances of the world. They can only take action against foreign enemies when their home country is in danger."
The original intention of the Five Lakes and Four Seas Hall is to protect the country, and there are masters from all sects in it. Except for a small group of people, the priority of the Five Lakes and Four Seas Hall is not high.
For example, Wang Ningshui is the palace lord of Wushuang Palace, so she must give priority to Wushuang Palace, followed by the All-World Palace.
Of course, there are also some masters in all corners of the country who truly put the interests of their family and country first.
In addition, the Zhenyi Sect is the national religion of Dayan, and there are masters of the Zhenyi Sect in all corners of the country. How could they fall out with the Zhenyi Sect because of the Ghost Swordsman?
An Jing shook his head and said, "Then there's nothing more to say. I have no idea of joining Wuhusihaitang at the moment."
His current thoughts are to enhance his strength, protect himself and his wife.
As for these disputes between family and country, it's not that he doesn't care, he just feels that with his current strength, he is only a pawn of others, so it's better not to get involved.
Although he had killed Liang Mo, he might have offended Nanman.
Wang Ningshui was not surprised when he heard this.
Over the years, she has also recruited many masters, but there are very few who are really willing to join the All World Hall, and some of those who are willing to join are even people with evil intentions.
"If that's the case, then I won't force you."
Wang Ningshui clasped her fists, then looked at Lou Xiangzhen, "I feel a little familiar with this person, I don't know...if it's not convenient to disclose it, I don't have to disclose it."
From the first moment she saw Lou Xiangzhen, she felt a little familiar. The more she looked at him, the more she felt like she had seen him somewhere before.
"In the second year of Taiping, you were still so old in the Yuheng Sword Sect."
Lou Xiangzhen stretched out his palms and gestured to his waist, as if he was lost in memories: "I remember that at that time, your master was still a great beauty, but now he has turned into a handful of yellow sand."
Hearing Lou Xiangzhen's words, Wang Ningshui's eyes showed a hint of horror.
"Senior...senior is...?"
She had not been to Yuheng Sword Sect many times in her life. When she was seven or eight years old, she went to watch the competition between the contemporary sword god and Guigu Sword Immortal Tower Xiang Zhen.
More than fifty years have passed since this incident. The Sword God has now passed away, and his master is dead.
There were all top swordsmen present at that time, and some of them are still alive today. They are either practicing in seclusion somewhere, or they are unable to escape.
The person in front of me remembers it so clearly. Who is he?
Lou Xiangzhen said calmly: "Lou Xiangzhen."
Wang Ningshui was shocked and quickly bowed: "Junior pays homage to Senior Lou! I didn't expect that this junior would be able to see the grace of Senior. You are truly lucky."
Wang Ningshui's expression was extremely respectful, even a little trembling.
The young generation in the world will be shocked when they see this. Who is Wang Ningshui? He can be regarded as the founder of Wushuang Palace, and he is actually facing an old man like this.
However, the younger generation today cannot imagine how majestic Lou Xiangzhen was back then!?
"Without this, what kind of charm do I have now?"
Lou Xiangzhen waved his hand and said with a smile: "Now everyone in the world laughs at me. Lou Xiangzhen is as timid as a mouse and the second best swordsman in the world. Please remember not to say this again, lest you make others laugh."
Lou Xiangzhen was unable to escape the world, and most martial arts masters believed that he was afraid of the true religion.
After all, the feud between Guigu Sect and Zhenyi Sect is not a secret thing among real martial arts masters.
In addition, Jiang Sanjia was persecuted in the court and was even dismissed from office and wandered around the world. However, Lou Xiangzhen was always indifferent. Everyone knew that Jiang Sanjia's persecution must have been caused by the Zhenyi Cult.
Seeing his junior brother like this, but there is no news from Lou Xiangzhen as a senior brother, isn't this scary?
Wang Ningshui said seriously: "In the hearts of this junior, I will always remember the battle between my senior and the Sword God, and I dare not forget that peerless grace."
Lou Xiangzhen laughed at himself: "What is there to remember after defeat? Do you know your shame and then become brave?"
Wang Ningshui hesitated to speak. Lou Xiangzhen was indeed defeated at that time, and many young swordsmen came to catch up. The famous Guigu Swordsman became the second swordsman for the rest of his life.
"Senior Lou..."
"let's go."
Lou Xiangzhen interrupted Wang Ningshui's words and looked at An Jing aside, "Aren't you in a hurry?"
"Then let's go."
An Jing hugged Wang Ningshui and said, "Goodbye."
"Senior Lou, I'm leaving."
Wang Ningshui nodded, then cupped her hands to Lou Xiangzhen.
Then the two of them jumped on the back of the Thousand-Year Black Boa, and the Thousand-Year Black Boa's huge body moved quickly towards the distance.
Looking at Lou Xiangzhen's retreating figure, Wang Ningshui sighed slightly.
Unexpectedly, I could see the Ghost Valley Sword Immortal Tower Xiangzhen here.
...........
In the evening, on Nanping Road, in the dense forest.
After a night of running, the two of them were hundreds of miles away from Nanhua Mountain.
An Jing sat cross-legged on the boulder, holding two white jade statues in his hands.
"Senior, which white jade statue is this golden pill in?"
Lou Xiangzhen stood on the top of the tree and suddenly saw the white jade statue in An Jing's hand, "Tell me what you have in your right hand."
The white jade statue on the right hand has a cocoon hidden inside it. The cocoon is constantly beating, as if it will jump out at any time.
An Jing didn't hesitate and threw it directly to Lou Xiangzhen.
Lou Xiangzhen took the white jade statue and took a closer look, "This looks like a southern barbarian poisonous insect."
"Gu insect?"
An Jing said doubtfully.
He did remember that when he got the white jade statue, Na Liangmo gave up chasing Wang Ningshui and went straight to him, eager to make him hand over the white jade statue. Now An Jing finally understood that Na Liangmo might not be for Jin Wan, but for Jin Wan.
It's for the poison in my hand.
If he really knew that there was a golden pill in the other stone statue, he would have taken it out long ago.
"The poison is like a cocoon, beating like a heartbeat, it likes white jade, and its inside is like blood."
Lou Xiangzhen thought of something and said to himself: "Is it the Saint Yuan Gu? You've got great luck."
"What kind of Gu is Saint Yuan Gu?" An Jing asked.
This is a blue opportunity, so naturally it’s not bad.
Lou Xiangzhen kept looking at the white jade statue in his hand and said: "You should know that after reaching the master level, the internal force in the body can be converted into true energy, and the master can also refine the spiritual energy in the world for cultivation."
"Actually, in this world, it's not just the masters who can refine the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Some alien species can also do it, such as the fire bird under the Beili volcano and other alien beasts, as well as the Saint Yuan Gu right now."
An Jing's heart moved, "Senior, what you mean is that this Saint Yuan Gu can refine the spiritual energy of heaven and earth?"
An Jing has already absorbed the benefits of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, so he naturally knows the benefits. If he can continuously obtain the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, his cultivation will definitely grow rapidly.
Lou Xiangzhen nodded and said: "Yes, it is recorded in ancient books that Saint Yuan Gu can refine the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. And when it reaches adulthood, it can be comparable to the Grand Master, and can even directly extract the spiritual energy of heaven and earth."
When An Jing heard this, his heart started to beat wildly.
What is the spiritual energy of heaven and earth? It is the essence of spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
Lou Xiangzhen sat down, touched the white jade statue and said: "This Saint Yuan Gu is extremely rare, probably very rare in the Southern Barbarians. Don't be too happy. This Gu is very fragile, not to mention whether it can reach adulthood or not, even if it hatches
It is extremely difficult to cultivate. The Southern Barbarians have a special method of cultivating Gu worms, and the death rate reaches 80%, and even less than 1 out of 10 adults survive."
An Jing agreed very much with Lou Xiangzhen's words. He didn't know how to raise Gu. This Saint Yuan Gu was extremely rare and it was very likely that he would raise it to death.
Lou Xiangzhen chuckled and said: "Otherwise, give me this Saint Yuan Gu, and I will lend you the ancient books left by the past leaders of the Guigu Sect."
"Think about it, if you die, you can only hug the body and cry. But with the ancient books of my Guigu sect, you can know many secrets that you don't know."
He was also very excited about the Saint Yuan Gu, even though Lou Xiangzhen didn't know how to raise it.
An Jing shook his head, "How can this be possible? Senior doesn't seem to know how to raise Gu. If it dies by then, it will be a big loss. I can't let senior suffer this loss."
Slippery!
Lou Xiangzhen said secretly, and then threw the white jade statue in his hand to An Jing, "You think I really care about your corpse, I just want to test you, my Guigu sect has never seen anything, don't say
I have seen this Saint Yuan Gu, even the strange beast whose strength is comparable to that of the Grand Master."
When An Jing heard this, he also became interested: "A strange beast that is comparable to the strength of the Grand Master!?"
Lou Xiangzhen said with a smile: "But those things are recorded in the ancient books of my Guigu Sect. If you want to know..."
Old slippery man!
An Jing shook his head like a rattle, "Forget it, I know it's useless."
"That's not necessarily the case."
Lou Xiangzhen looked at the thousand-year-old black anaconda lying on the ground in the distance. Without An Jing's control at this moment, it looked like a dead snake. "If you sit down and don't use some means to take advantage of this black anaconda, I'm afraid it will take another hundred years."
, that’s just a black anaconda.”
An Jing also glanced at the thousand-year-old black anaconda. The thousand-year-old black anaconda was controlled by him, so he naturally knew the physical strength of the thousand-year-old black anaconda.
When he had just used the living puppet technique on the thousand-year-old black anaconda, the physical strength of the thousand-year-old black anaconda was still increasing. Although it was very little, he could definitely feel it.
But in recent days, he found that the body of the thousand-year-old black anaconda has basically remained unchanged. Originally, An Jing thought that it was about to turn into a dragon, so he didn't care about it. But when he heard Lou Xiangzhen's words, he couldn't help but feel moved in his heart.
"Senior, what you mean is that the reason why the thousand-year-old black anaconda has not turned into a dragon since I sat down is because there is still something missing?"
Lou Xiangzhen nodded and said: "The black anaconda is a thing that transforms into a dragon. It is ferocious and unpredictable. The body of the black dragon is even stronger. As the saying goes: The black dragon jumps over the waves, and the yellow mist reflects the sunrise. The strength of the dragon
It can be compared to a three-qi master, or even a four-qi level master, and is the most dangerous creature in the world. If the black anaconda really transforms into a black dragon in these thousand years, you can go anywhere in this world.
.”
"And your black dragon can be passed on to your descendants, descendants, and grandchildren. After practicing for thousands of years, you might actually have a chance to transform into a real black dragon."
Speaking of this, Lou Xiangzhen's eyes flashed with a fiery light.
Throughout the ages, a real dragon has only appeared once in history books. At that time, the real dragon caused trouble to all directions and devoured countless people. In the end, the Qin Dynasty summoned many masters in the world to join forces and kill it.
It is said that the Qin Dynasty dispatched millions of troops, dozens of grandmasters, and even three grandmaster-level experts. Even so, they barely managed to kill the real dragon.
Among them, hundreds of thousands of soldiers were lost, as well as several grand masters. Even two grand masters died.
It can be seen that this war was so tragic that it almost consumed all the national power of the Qin Dynasty.
But the royal family of the Qin Dynasty was not at a loss. They got the true dragon essence and blood, and then dozens of generations took the true dragon essence and blood, making each generation of human emperors the world's most powerful masters. This allowed the Qin Dynasty to continue.
