281. Chapter 281 Chapter 0280 No Hegemony No Ambition
At the headquarters of the Earthly Destruction Sect, Meng Wuhen was lying motionless on the couch. On his chest, there was a white sword wound. The blood had long solidified. The robe dyed red with blood was almost the same as his.
bodies stuck together.
On a couch opposite him, Hong Jikong, the leader of the Nebula Sect, was also lying lifeless. Except for the two of them, there were several people quietly sitting on the couches side by side. Among these people, there were old people and middle-aged people.
, and a woman in her prime.
If anyone saw the people lying in this room at this moment, they would definitely be shocked, because almost all of the people lying here are famous people from the sects of Tianquan Kingdom.
In particular, Hong Jikong, the leader of the Nebula Sect, has a very high level of cultivation. He once single-handedly blocked eight top ten masters from the Tianquan Kingdom's killer list. Later, he even hit a peak on the back mountain of the Nebula Sect with one palm and became famous for a while.
.
But now, these masters who were famous in Tianquan country were lying quietly on the couch, without any breath of life.
The cause of all this was naturally the helplessness standing in this side hall, which was neither large nor small.
After looking around at the people in front of the couch, he couldn't help but the corners of his mouth gradually curved into an evil arc.
To other strong men in the martial arts world, these people are indeed dead. But to him, they are more valuable than alive.
As his arc extended, Meng Wuhen, who was lying motionless on the couch, suddenly moved strangely, and then slowly floated up.
After floating into the air, Meng Wuhen began to stand upright, and finally stood in the air, facing helplessly with respect.
"Owner!"
After standing in the air, Meng Wuhen raised his bloodless face and looked at Wu Wen. There was no trace of life in those empty eyes, which were shrouded in a thick aura of death.
"Go and cause some trouble for Zhao Qingzhu, his speed is too slow..."
"Yes, Master!"
Meng Wuhen responded mechanically, then turned around and drifted out of the door in a flash.
After watching Meng Wuhen leave, he couldn't turn his head to look at Hong Jikong.
As far as the eye could see, Hong Jikong, who was originally motionless, also moved slightly, and then stood up with a 'swish'.
As soon as he stood up, a pungent smell of blood suddenly rushed towards Wen Wen. Because he was lying down before, the wounds on his body could not be seen. Only when he stood up did he realize that half of the back of his head had been cut off.
The pungent smell of blood also came from the back of his head.
"I'll give you a mission to find the headquarters of the Zhitian Sect."
Hong Jikong didn't say a word or nod. As his helpless words fell, he jumped off the couch like a zombie and rushed out of the door.
After Hong Jikong left, he couldn't help but glance at the people on the couch, and the evil arc at the corner of his mouth spread more and more unscrupulously.
Since this continent is already in chaos, let him make it more chaotic!
Zhao Qingzhu, the storm has just begun. How long can you hold on?
…
Zhao Qingzhu was at a loss when he left Qingzhu Town. Although the golden-winged bird was carrying him, he didn't know where to go. The continent with a population of tens of billions has such vast land that even the golden-winged bird would not be able to cross it.
It would take at least four or five hours to cross the continent. In such a vast place, searching for a Zhitian Sect that seems to exist but is intangible is undoubtedly like looking for a needle in a haystack.
"Let's go to Spring Autumn City and see it!"
After receiving Zhao Qingzhu's instructions, the golden-winged bird flashed out and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Qingzhu Town is far away from Spring and Autumn City. If you walk or take a carriage, it will take at least half a month, but with the speed of the golden-winged bird, it only takes a stick of incense.
Spring and Autumn City once lived under the butcher's knife of Tianshu Kingdom and was suppressed by Tianshu Kingdom for eighteen years. After the old war god of Tianshu Kingdom died in Yaoguang Taoyuan Town, Spring and Autumn City gradually got rid of the control of Tianshu Kingdom and also
It was at this time that Zhang Chutian ascended the throne and took control of the Kaiyang Kingdom.
In less than two years, this city that had been living in the shadow of Tianshu Kingdom finally glowed with the light it should have. Zhang Chutian's ascension to the throne was somewhat similar to that of Sun Zhongyu. The only difference was that Sun Zhongyu's father
He was a fake fool, but his father was truly fatuous. After learning that Tianshu, the old God of War, died in battle, Zhang Chutian took the opportunity to force his father to abdicate, and even put him under house arrest without any contact with outsiders.
His move was supported by all the civil and military officials of Kaiyang State, which naturally prevented the civil strife in Spring and Autumn City.
Of course, there are some black sheep that exist, but they are not enough to pose a threat to Zhang Chutian. Under his iron-blooded suppression, these black sheep disappeared from the world overnight and have never been seen again.
With no worries, Zhang Chutian lived in seclusion in the palace for half a year.
It was not until Sun Zhongyu launched a war that he came back to power. No one knew why he had to be buried in the palace for half a year. All the civil and military officials in Kaiyang Kingdom knew was that Zhang Chutian had not seen anyone in the past six months.
.
It was not until he returned to power that the powerful officials of Kaiyang Kingdom knew that this seemingly weak young emperor had the same ambitions as Sun Zhongyu and Zhuang Qingxiu.
However, this young emperor, who had the entire Beidou Continent in mind, actually chose to give up when he could have taken over the Tianshu Kingdom and wiped out the humiliation of the past eighteen years. This made all the civil and military officials in the Spring and Autumn City dissatisfied, and made the entire people of the Kaiyang Kingdom
Very dissatisfied.
The reason why all the civil and military officials supported him in such a treasonous act as forcing the emperor to convict was because they hoped that he could lead the Kaiyang Kingdom to regain its lost dignity and lost land.
Of course, Zhang Chutian has fulfilled their hopes. When he conquered one-third of the territory of Tianshu Kingdom, the land and dignity that Kaiyang Kingdom had lost were returned.
However, people's hearts are never satisfied. After getting these things they hope to get, their ambitions begin to expand.
Fight for hegemony!
Zhang Chutian naturally understands what the civil and military officials are thinking. He also knows that the words "striving for hegemony" and "giving up" are easy to write, but it is really difficult to do it.
Then, a funny scene appeared.
When Zhang Chutian led a million-strong army back to Spring and Autumn City, there was no fanfare of welcome, no excited shouts from the people. Everything seemed to be the same as usual, doing what should be done.
When the golden-winged bird flew over the Spring and Autumn City, Zhao Qingzhu happened to see Zhang Chutian riding a tall horse into the city gate.
On his left and right sides were Kaiyang warriors who protected him.
Behind him, there was a million-strong army that stretched for miles like a long snake and followed his footsteps slowly into the city.
squeak…
The golden-winged bird suddenly let out a piercing cry, and the terrifying sound wave instantly spread throughout the Spring and Autumn City. Zhang Chutian, who had just entered the city, raised his head when he heard the sound. Many people in the city also raised their heads at this moment. When they saw the golden light emanating from their bodies
When the golden-winged bird appeared, they all knelt down, and many people even shouted excitedly, "Look, the divine bird."
"The divine bird appears, why can't Kaiyang Kingdom strive for hegemony?"
In front of the palace gate of Spring and Autumn City, the civil and military officials who were preparing to welcome Zhang Chutian also looked up at the sky at this moment, staring at the huge figure hovering in the sky and emitting golden light under the sunlight. The old prime minister standing at the front slightly
He sighed and said: "Open the sun, open the sun, when will it shine like the sun on the entire Beidou Continent?"
The golden-winged bird roared loudly and then swooped down at an astonishing speed. The target was Zhang Chutian!
"Damn it!"
When a warrior following Zhang Chutian saw this, he cursed secretly in his heart and shouted urgently: "Protect me, protect me!"
"No need to panic..."
Zhang Chutian stopped the warrior and then rode forward alone.
At the same time, the golden-winged bird appeared in the sky only three feet above his head.
Looking at Zhao Qingzhu standing on the golden-winged bird, Zhang Chutian smiled and said: "Brother Qingzhu, I'm afraid you are the only one in the entire Kaiyang Kingdom who treats me like this."
"Well,"
After Zhao Qingzhu looked around, he jumped to the ground, then bowed slightly and said, "Why did your Majesty say this?"
"Look, I have returned triumphantly, but no one is there to greet me..."
"Haha, that's because His Majesty gave up on the Tianshu Kingdom. You know, the Tianshu Kingdom has always been the most hated existence in all countries except Tianquan. This is why Your Majesty led a million troops to capture Tianshu unstoppably.
The reason why it covers one-third of the country’s territory.”
"oh?"
Zhang Chutian was slightly startled and said, "I don't understand what I'm saying."
"Tianquan Kingdom and Tianshu Kingdom had an alliance beforehand, but Tianji and Tianxuan also chose to form an alliance with Zhuang Qingxiu. Your Majesty is a man of great wisdom. Can't you see the clues in this?"
"Clues?"
Zhang Chutian was stunned again, "I don't understand."
"Tianji Tianxuan's condition for agreeing to an alliance with Zhuang Qingxiu is to isolate Tianshu!"
Zhang Chutian suddenly came to his senses, nodded frequently and said: "Why has Tianquan Kingdom never sent troops to rescue Tianshu? It turns out there is such a relationship in it. Haha, I am stupid, stupid."
Zhao Qingzhu didn't speak, just smiled.
Is Zhang Chutian stupid?
If you tell ghosts this, they won’t believe it!
"Brother Qingzhu, are you here specifically for me, or are you doing something else?"
Zhang Chutian changed the subject appropriately, and then said: "If you are free, how about you come to the palace with me to get together?"
"I'm afraid it won't work,"
Zhao Qingzhu shook his head and said: "I came out here to look for the Zhitian Sect. Because I had no clue, I went to Spring and Autumn City on a whim to have a look. I never expected to meet His Majesty coming in triumph."
"Zhitian Cult?"
Zhang Chutian frowned slightly, "This is the largest evil cult in the country. I have always wanted to eradicate it. I wonder why Brother Qingzhu is looking for the Zhitian Sect?"
"I heard that the leader of the Zhitian Sect is extremely powerful, and I want to see him."
"Brother Qingzhu, you have to be careful. I once sent nineteen top experts from the palace, and they led the country's most elite cavalry army to annihilate them. In the end, the entire army was annihilated. Brother Qingzhu, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him."
"Your Majesty, do you know where the main altar of the Zhitian Sect is?"
"Know everything!"
"Haha, it doesn't take much effort to get through the iron shoes and find nowhere. Your Majesty, how about you send someone to follow me, and I can help your Majesty eliminate this disaster?"
