Chapter 292 The great masters compete in the world
An Jing raised his eyebrows and said, "Gone?"
His evil-suppressing sword directly pierced the heart of the sword demon. Even a land god like the Grand Master could hardly survive. Could it be that someone robbed his body along the way?
After all, the body of a Four Qi Grandmaster contains four spiritual essences of heaven and earth.
Zhao Qingmei said solemnly: "We must check carefully and don't miss any clues."
"yes!"
After hearing this, Yi Daoyun turned down the mountain and continued to investigate.
An Jing came to the body of Grand Dharma King Mu Yuan and directly collected the four heaven and earth spiritual energy in his body. If he did not collect it any longer, it is impossible to say that the heaven and earth spiritual energy would be lost and dispersed in the heaven and earth.
Zhao Chongyin watched this scene. Their eyes met and then moved away.
A spark arose between the two of them.
Master!
At that moment, An Jing felt a trace of Zhao Chongyin's energy, and was suddenly shocked.
Not only is this Zhao Chongyin not as mediocre as the rumors say, he is even a peerless genius and a true top player.
The royal family is basically the pinnacle of Dayan's power, and it contains a huge amount of resources. If Zhao Chongyin is really a genius, then how could he, in his forties, be inferior in cultivation with the help of the royal family's resources?
What a deep scheming!
An Jing frowned, no wonder Zhao Chongyin was calm and just watched, it turned out that his strength was also extremely high.
Zhao Chongyin moved his gaze away, looked at Zhao Qingmei, and said: "Master Zhao, this is our first meeting."
If everything is correct, the granddaughter of the former prince in front of me may still call herself uncle in terms of seniority.
Zhao Qingmei said calmly: "That's right."
However, Zhao Chongyin laughed and said, "The strength of the Lord of Heaven is an eye-opener for me today. I think that in the future, it will not be difficult for you and your wife to reach the realm of Grand Master."
Two great masters!
Many other experts were shocked when they heard this.
Nowadays, there is no great master in the world. As long as one great master can immediately change the overall situation of the world, now with the age and cultivation level of the ghost swordsman and the leader of the demon sect, it will indeed be much easier than others to reach the great master in the future.
It is not impossible for both of them to reach the Grand Master.
How could no one react at all?
But what Zhao Chongyin said was undoubtedly a bit of flattery, causing more powerful masters to pay attention to the Demon Sect.
There was also a hint of coldness in Zhao Qingmei's eyes. It seemed that the prince probably knew his identity and regarded him as a potential opponent.
An Jing took a deep look at Zhao Chongyin, "Who knows what will happen in the future?"
Zhao Chongyin smiled and said no more.
Then the masters above Zhongshan dispersed one after another, as if they couldn't wait to tell others about today's news immediately, as if they could use it as their own bragging rights.
An Jing and Zhao Qingmei also went down the mountain with many experts. On the way down, they were still listening to Zhao Qingmei's plan.
Hearing Zhao Qingmei's plan, An Jing looked at Zhao Qingmei in surprise, "So, you killed all the masters of the Five Gangs Alliance when you came here?"
He never expected that with this opportunity, she would let Yi Daoyun eliminate Liu Qingshan of the Cao Gang, Chen Wandou of Wangjinghai, and Li Xiaowen of the Golden Horn League, and join forces with He Yunkai of the Sanhu Gang to kill all the masters of the five gangs.
killed.
"That's right."
There was a smile on Zhao Qingmei's eyebrows, and a bit of pride, as if showing off in front of An Jing could infinitely magnify her sense of accomplishment.
An Jing asked: "Isn't He Yunkai a two-sided loser?"
It is said that He Yunkai, the leader of the Sanhu Gang, is not very high in cultivation, but he is a very adaptable person. Some people say that he has taken refuge in the Demon Cult, while others say that he has taken refuge in the Second Prince. In short, the wind blows in whichever direction he will fall. wall grass.
Duanmu Xinghua laughed and said: "Actually, the rumors in the world are not false. This He Yunkai has been my Tianwaitian from the beginning to the end, and he is also a master of Tianzong."
I see!
When An Jing heard Duanmu Xinghua's explanation, he suddenly realized that everyone in power in this world was plotting.
Standing in this position, it is like a pair of big hands pushing you. Even if you don't move forward, there is nothing you can do.
Zhao Qingmei smiled faintly and said: "Among the five major gangs, there are many killers in Fengyu Tower. The battle at Zhongshan suffered heavy casualties. On that day, Meng, the director of Pavilion, died at the hands of Xuan Yiwei, and Ling Yuhua, the leader of Yue Pavilion, took refuge. Our demon sect, the rest of the Cao Gang, the Golden Horn Alliance, and the leaders of Wangjinghai all died. Anyway, as long as they were charged with treason, they would not survive. If they were directly incorporated into the demon sect, there was no chance of survival. , they will naturally not refuse, which can make up for some previous losses in Dongluo Pass."
An Jing glanced at Li Fuzhou and said, "It turns out that Third Master followed Yi Shouzuo to Jiangnan Road to instigate rebellion against Ling Yuhua."
Li Fuzhou said nonchalantly: "That's not necessarily the case. When I come to Jiangnan Road, I naturally have to set up a secret line to attract the masters of the five alliances."
An Jing sneered at the side and said: "There is another Liu Huiyun in Yujing City. Third Master, please don't forget it."
"Thank you for reminding me, next time I go to Yujing City, I will let Huiyun enter Tianwaitian, which can be regarded as strengthening my strength in Tianwaitian."
Behind Li Fuzhou's hands, his expression was indescribably chic and romantic.
A boat with two feet will capsize sooner or later.
Even if there are ten thousand boats under my feet, they won't be able to capsize.
Ten days later, the storm in Zhongshan spread at an alarming speed. First, it spread to all the forces in the world at the speed of an eagle, and then spread to the entire Yan Kingdom. The news is still spreading.
After all, there are too many things that happened in it. The return of the Sword Demon and the Sword God is enough to cause a huge sensation. After all, both of them were swordsmen who were world-famous decades ago.
But I never thought that this time would become a stepping stone for the Ghost Swordsman. The two of them were defeated by him one after another, completely establishing the Ghost Swordsman's reputation as the best swordsman in the world.
Everyone was greatly shocked. Unexpectedly, when both the Sword God and the Sword Demon appeared, the ghost swordsman in his early twenties would be crowned the best swordsman in the world.
What was even more unbelievable after that was the rebellion of the second prince Zhao Mengtai, who actually colluded with Empress Jin Daxueshan to kill the prince during the heaven-sacrifice ceremony.
The masters of Daxue Mountain suffered heavy casualties. Even the Grand Master of Mu Yuan died on the spot. In the end, there was a confrontation between the Five Qi masters on Zhongshan Mountain, and one of them almost died.
Although Jun Qinglin had fought against Qi Xuandao and Zongzheng Huachun, no one else knew about the battle. Many people even thought that Jun Qinglin died at the hands of the Hou Jin army.
In the eyes of ordinary people, the Five Qi Master is a lofty land god who is only one step away from attaining three hundred years of life. How could he easily decide between life and death?
All in all, what happened in Zhongshan this time was no less than a huge earthquake, and the aftershocks are still fermenting in Yan State.
Later Jin Dynasty, Wang Tingzhong.
In an antique hall, a delicate eucalyptus table is burning with bird-and-sandalwood incense. This incense has the functions of promoting qi, warming the body and relieving pain.
In addition, this elegant fragrance can also be used for qi stagnation caused by cold condensation. The cold master is withdrawn. After the cold evil enters, the flow of qi and blood is stagnated, just like ice.
Zongzheng Huachun was sitting on a red futon, and his whole body was so rich that it seemed as if it was about to turn into water, like a liquid.
And all this, in addition to his own cultivation, is also a white stone in his hand.
After dozens of breaths, Zongzheng Huachun began to absorb all the surrounding Qi into his Dantian, then exhaled and took the white stone into his arms.
In the battle at the junction of Beiyuan and Dongluoguan, although he cut off Jun Qinglin's last breath, he was also slightly injured and needed time to recover.
He is the backbone of the entire Houjin, so he must maintain the best posture at all times. During this period, he was recuperating without leaving home.
"Father."
At this moment, there was a rushing sound from outside the door.
It is Zong Zhengyue.
Zong Zhenghua Chun said: "Come in."
Zong Zhengyue walked into the palace, bowed to Zong Zheng Huachun, and said: "Father, something happened in Zhongshan."
Zongzheng Huachun asked: "What happened?"
Zong Zhengyue lowered her head and said in a deep voice: "The news of Zhao Mengtai's plan was leaked, and the Human Emperor took the opportunity to lay an ambush. Grand Dharma King Mu Yuan, Dharma King Mu Li, and Sword Demon Haotian were killed by masters of the Demon Cult on the spot, and Dharma King Mu Xuan was captured. .”
After saying that, her breathing was stagnant and she did not dare to raise her head and look at Zongzheng Huachun.
The entire hall fell silent. Zong Zhengyue did not look at Zong Zheng Huachun's face, but she seemed to be able to feel the vague chill.
She understood her father's character very well, and she also understood the importance of Master Mu Yuan in his heart.
After a long time, Zongzheng Huachun asked: "Who killed him?"
Zong Zhengyue quickly replied: "Ghost Swordsman, he not only killed the Great Dharma King, but also defeated the Sword Demon and the Sword God before that, and even obtained the Dulu Sword from the Dulu Sword Association."
"I see."
Zongzheng Huachun did not speak, and there was not much expression on his face. Instead, he asked about the war in Beiyuan, "Now Beiyuan has returned to my hands, Houjin, right?"
Zong Zhengyue gritted her teeth and said: "Wang Shiyi has already retreated, but when he retreated, he looted Beiyuan."
Originally, only the nomads went south to plunder the people of the Yan State. When they were plundered by the people of the Yan State, it was simply a great shame and humiliation.
Zong Zhenghua said calmly: "Wang Shiyi has finally become the person he hates and hates the most."
Maybe from the beginning, some people don't want to do this, but in the end, with the push of your heart, you will eventually change your original intention.
Become the person you hate most in your heart.
Zong Zhengyue thought for a while and said: "Father, what happened at Zhongshan is enough to show the Taiping Emperor's control over the Yan Kingdom. Now if we want to break through the Yan Kingdom, we can only lead the army to attack Yujing City. , and with the Zhao State and the Southern Barbarians in the south, the Yan State will definitely be destroyed."
Nowadays, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Hou Jin and Zhao are in alliance, and the fight against Dayan is just a matter of timing, or perhaps just a moment of determination.
Zongzheng Huachun stood up, looked at the blue sky outside the hall, and said calmly: "It's time to prepare a letter for you to write to the great disciple Qi Xuandao."
When Zong Zhengyue heard this, his heart skipped a beat, "Yes, I'll go now."
After saying that, Zong Zhengyue quickly walked out of the hall.
Zongzheng Huachun was the only one left in the hall.
He took a few deep breaths, as if trying to suppress something, and then clenched his fists fiercely.
The identity of Grand Dharma King Muyuan is basically the same as that of Xiao Qianqiu, the national preceptor of the Yan Kingdom, but the relationship between Holy Master Hou Jin and Grand Dharma King Muyuan is even closer.
It can be said that Zongzheng Huachun was able to successfully unify Houjin, and Grand Dharma King Muyuan should take half of the credit, especially Dharma King Muyuan who rescued Zongzheng Huachun from Jun Qinglin regardless of his own safety. This is not an ordinary friendship.
.
There may not have been the great Dharma King Muyuan back then, nor the Zongzheng Huachun of today.
In the shadow of the main hall, a figure appeared. He was not tall and even a little thin, because his specific face could not be seen clearly in the darkness.
This man is the shadow of Zongzheng Huachun, and the former head of Suoming Mansion, Taiyin Kui.
Zongzheng Huachun's eyes showed a hint of coldness, and he whispered: "I didn't expect that Jun Qinglin would leave such a mess before his death."
It is hard not to be afraid of someone with such terrifying strength at the age of twenty. This is even more terrifying than the Buddhist enlightenment.
After all, Dharma Enlightenment relies on the foundation of Buddhism. Once you reach the realm of the five qi, you will be no different from other five qi masters. However, the ghost swordsman is so fierce that he can kill masters at the peak of the four qi without reaching the four qi. If
When he reaches the Five Qi Master level, who will be his opponent then?
What if he is allowed to break through the shackles and reach the realm of Grand Master!?
Taiyin Kui's voice was a little dry, which made people feel extremely harsh after listening to it. He said: "With the current strength of the ghost swordsman, plus the acquisition of the Dulu Sword, I am afraid that only the Five Qi Master can kill him, and he is here now."
The State of Yan is not easy to take action."
Zongzheng Huachun stretched out his palm and said softly: "Don't worry, in front of the unification of the world, what do personal grudges mean?"
Unification of the world is exactly the ambition in Zongzheng Huachun's heart.
Within the four seas, whether it is the Southern Barbarians, Hou Jin, Yan State, Zhao State, Russell Tribe, Xueshan Tribe and other foreign nations become a unified country, what kind of prosperity will it usher in?
No dynasty has ever done this before, and Zongzheng Huachun is the one who will do this for all eternity.
He wants to make the world dance in the palm of his hand.
A little impatience messes up big plans, and now he can only endure for a while.
Taiyin Kui looked at Zongzheng Huachun's back, and there was a hint of heat in his heart.
On the top of the mountain, you can see the rushing river, and on the peaks, you can feel the strong wind.
There is no one in this world who does not long to stand on the top of a mountain.
And everyone's mountain top is the same but also different
The State of Yan is truly a mountain.
Everyone in Dayan Jianghu knows that although Xiao Qianqiu is known as the number one master in Dayan Jianghu, he rarely goes down the mountain, as if he was an ascetic cultivator of Taoism before.
The last time I went down the mountain in everyone's mind was because of Lou Xiangzhen and the Ghost Swordsman.
At that time, the Ghost Swordsman killed many masters of the Zhenyi Sect, and Lou Xiangzhen also protected him. The masters of the Zhenyi Sect had almost no way to deal with them. Xiao Qianqiu had to go down the mountain for the sake of the Zhenyi Sect.
The Battle of Yuanhu is still fresh in the memory of many people.
Now Lou Xiangzhen has been missing for more than a year, and Xiao Qianqiu is also in seclusion in Zhenyi Sect. Even the subsequent battle on Bikong Island was carried out by Ye Ding.
However, after the Battle of Bikong Island, the originally powerful Zhenyi Sect also ushered in a new round of reshuffle. The originally domineering Zhenyi Sect began to restrain itself, and various Taoist temples began to be purged.
Many people feel that there is something fishy about it. It seems that this rotten tree has not completely rotted to the roots.
Everyone also understood that as long as Xiao Qianqiu was around, Zhenyi Sect would still be the State Religion of Dayan.
Tianzun Hall is still the same as before, but the head of the temple who has been serving Tianzun Hall for decades is no longer there. There is only a Taoist boy who always cleans Tianzun Hall.
Today, a special ‘guest’ came to Tianzun Hall.
It was a Taoist priest who was in his fifties and looked old for the first time. He was wearing a light blue Taoist robe and cloth shoes, and he stood quietly in front of Tianzun Hall and looked at the statue of Tianzun.
This person is none other than Luo Chongyang.
He looked at the Tianzun statue quietly without saying a word. He understood Yu Ying's character and habits very well and would come to worship in front of the Tianzun statue every day.
At this moment, looking at the futon in front of the statue of Tianzun, I suddenly seemed to see Yu Ying worshiping the statue of Tianzun with his meticulous expression.
At this time, a voice came from outside the hall, "Little Master Uncle."
Luo Chongyang looked back and saw Xiao Qianqiu, the headmaster of Zhenyi Sect, walking in. He was holding a pot of tea in his hand and said: "The Human Emperor has decreed that I go to Yujing City."
Although Xiao Qianqiu is the national counselor of Yan State, he has only gone to Yujing City a handful of times, and this time the Emperor of the People issued an order and he had to go.
When Luo Chongyang heard this, he looked stern and said: "It seems that the world's general situation is about to be threatened, and we have to act."
Xiao Qianqiu nodded and said: "Wang Shiyi has already retreated to Beihuang Road. Hou Jin's nearly 600,000 troops are watching with eager eyes. Jin Lu can't wait to send his troops south immediately. In addition, the Zhao Kingdom in the south is also at its peak. According to my estimation, it will soon be It will go north."
Although Xiao Qianqiu rarely manages the affairs of Zhenyi Sect, it does not mean that he does not understand the current situation. The forces of all parties are moving, and the battle for Dayan is just a snap away.
Not only will the people of the Yan Kingdom live in dire straits, but the Yan River and Lake will also face a huge catastrophe.
If the skin is gone, the hair will not be attached, he understands this truth.
Luo Chongyang's face was extremely solemn, and he said: "Although the Daxue Mountain masters have lost a lot this time, their vitality has not been seriously damaged. Zongzheng Huachun and Taiyin Kui are both top masters, but what worries me most is not "houjin"
Xiao Qianqiu asked: "The Nanman that my junior uncle is worried about?"
Luo Chongyang nodded and said: "Yes, this poisonous snake is hiding in the shadows, preparing the most fatal blow. The last straw that breaks the camel's back is also the most inconspicuous one."
Sometimes the opponents you are always wary of are not scary because you are prepared, and those who make you take it lightly are the most terrifying existences.
"The Nanman will definitely take action."
Xiao Qianqiu said firmly: "Aoshuang Daolu Qiujian has gone to the Southern Barbarians several times. In addition, the leader of the Southern Barbarians is also a very ambitious person, so he will definitely not miss this great opportunity."
Luo Chongyang said: "So be careful and alert."
Xiao Qianqiu said: "I don't need to say anything about this. I think the Human Emperor has already anticipated it."
Luo Chongyang seemed to have thought of something, "Will the Ghost Swordsman also go this time?"
A glimmer of light flashed in Xiao Qianqiu's eyes, "I will go."
Before Ghost Swordsman and Zhao Qingmei, Xiao Qianqiu was the genius with the best martial arts qualifications in the world, the monster among monsters, a genius that even Black Ice Platform Qi Xuandao was afraid of.
But that's not the case now. Everyone in the world knows that the ghost swordsman's qualifications are still higher than Xiao Qianqiu's.
The two of them also had a deep grudge, one was the leader of the Zhenyi Sect, and the other was inextricably related to the Da Luo Sect and the Guigu Sect.
The two of them are destined to have a battle sooner or later.
Luo Chongyang said with some emotion: "I heard that he defeated the Sword God and the Sword Demon and got the Dulu Sword."
I still remember that when I first met Ghost Swordsman, he was still a first-level person, but now he actually defeated the sword demon and sword god that even he might not have defeated.
Xiao Qianqiu said: "Yes, he is now the best swordsman in the world."
Luo Chongyang looked at his nephew and asked: "Now, are you still sure of victory?"
Xiao Qianqiu held the tea in one hand and looked at the statue of Tianzun in the Tianzun Hall, smiling without saying a word.
Luo Chongyang did not ask any more questions, but whispered: "I hope Yan State can survive this war."
In the face of the general trend of the world, even the Four Qi Masters can't help but seem a little powerless at this moment.
How to save the people who are about to fall into dire straits?
Luo Chongyang didn't know.
And in this world, who has the final say?
The Holy Lord of Houjin?
The Emperor of Yan or Qi Xuandao?
Perhaps they may not be sure of the final word in their hearts at this moment.
Maybe, no one in this world can say anything.
Youshan, the main altar of the Demon Cult, is in an elegant pavilion.
The dim moonlight shines through the window, and the weak candlelight also shines brightly.
An Jing lay on the chair, closed his eyes and meditated.
The Zhongshan incident has come to an end, but the shock that followed will last for a long time.
He kept thinking about what had happened recently.
Is the sword demon alive or dead? His sword clearly penetrated his heart. How could he still be alive? If he was dead, who would have kidnapped him?
Moreover, if Li Yue falls into the hands of the prince, he will obviously use this as a threat to win over Zhou Xianming. How will he and Zhou Xianming get along with each other then?
There is also Jun Qinglin's body, which is still in Houjin Palace. He must bring Jun Qinglin's body back no matter what.
Finally, due to the imperial edict of the Emperor of Dayan, he and Zhao Qingmei had to go.
After all, the situation is changing rapidly. The interests of the Yan State and the Demon Sect are now tied together. If the Yan State is destroyed, the Demon Sect will be unable to resist the military attack of Hou Jin and Zhao.
Many things made him feel uneasy.
"Husband."
As the door opened, a delicate and picturesque face appeared in front of An Jing, and those moving eyes were so captivating that one could not help but sink in.
Zhao Qingmei came to An Jing's side, sat on his lap, and said: "I have asked Yi Daoyun and Li Fuzhou to go to Yujing City. As long as there is a chance, they will rescue Li Yue, but there is little hope. After all, Zhao Chongyin's side
There was a master of five qi.
An Dingding nodded and said, "Let's try it."
If Li Yue can be rescued, that would naturally be the best.
Zhao Qingmei twisted her body restlessly and said, "Are you thinking about things in Yujing City?"
An Jing sighed, "It seems that Hou Jin and Zhao are uniting to attack Yan. I think within a few months, the border has become very tense. I think all parts of Yan are already recruiting soldiers."
Zhao Qingmei also showed a hint of solemnity, "It will come sooner or later. This time the two countries join forces, it won't be that simple. When the time comes, Zongzheng Huachun and Qi Xuandao may both take action."
Obviously, if the two countries join forces, it will not be a small fight like when Hou Jin entered Beihuang Dao. This time, masters will definitely be dispatched, and even these Five Qi masters will not be spared until the end of the battle. This is a real national war.
An Jing couldn't help but said: "It seems that the shackles of the five qi are not so easy to break through."
If these Five Qi masters had a chance to break through the shackles, this war might still be postponed. After all, breaking through the shackles is the most important thing at the moment.
"Didn't the great elder say that? There seems to be an obstacle somewhere, but you and I are still far away from the five qi in our cultivation, so we don't need to think too much about it."
Zhao Qingmei looked at her palm and said: "And what I want now is to destroy Hou Jin and take back Dongluo Pass."
After all, Dongluo Pass is the main altar of the Demon Sect. Only if it is the outer heaven of the Demon Sect can one be free. Now in Yan State, breaking the heaven is just a matter of relying on others.
An Jing gently stroked Zhao Qingmei's hair and said worriedly: "Your cultivation is growing faster and faster, I'm always a little worried."
After Zhao Qingmei broke through the three qi, her cultivation level improved by leaps and bounds. Even now, she is approaching the peak of the three qi masters, and the true qi is still continuously derived from the demon species.
What kind of thoughts does the monster under the Demon Sealing Well have?
"Actually, I don't quite understand it either."
Zhao Qingmei said faintly: "The demonic species fed back more and more Qi, and even indirectly enhanced my strength. It even helped me defeat the Sword Demon on Zhongshan Mountain."
Regardless of the Taoist competition, Zhao Qingmei was no match for the Sword Demon, but in Zhongshan she was able to overwhelm the Sword Demon and even make him flee in panic, which was somewhat incredible.
An Jing took a deep breath and said seriously: "Now that the Dulu Sword is in hand, we can go find Nan Weiping and ask him for details."
Zhao Qingmei lay in An Jing's arms and asked softly: "Then when will we leave?"
An Jing thought for a moment and said: "Let's go to the Demon Sealing Platform tonight, and then we have to go to Yujing City. Time may not be enough."
Zhao Qingmei's red lips parted slightly, "Okay, let's ride on the swan."
She also wanted to go back to Dongluoguan to take a look.
Afterwards, the two of them planned carefully and prepared to go to the Demon Sealing Platform.
An Jing touched the Dulu Sword on the table. I am afraid that no one in the world knows that there is a real grand master under this magic well.
Her appearance will probably surprise all the masters in the world.
