An unknown barren mountain near the border of China.
Since Master Yuqing escaped from the imperial capital, he has been dormant here, waiting for support to arrive. He has been waiting for half a month.
The Zhengzhen sect is more than ten thousand miles away from the country of China. There is a desert of nearly a thousand miles between the Nanping Domain and the Taiping Domain. There are many dangers in the desert. Even the strong ones must be careful. So after receiving the information, the fellow sect rushed out.
Come, half a month to meet it, it is not too slow.
"Senior brother! I've been waiting for you to come."
When Yuqing saw the visitor, she felt excited. Thinking that she was aggrieved, she sighed and lost her face.
"Why is junior brother feeling so depressed? What exactly happened? Tell me in detail. Senior brother will make the decision for you."
The visitor looked to be in his late fifties, with a short beard, a Taoist spirit, and the air of a Taoist man.
This person is the elder brother of Master Yuqing, with the Taoist name "Yuzhen". His spiritual cultivation is comparable to that of Master Yuluo, and he holds a pivotal position in the Zhengzhen Sect.
Hearing this, Master Yuqing felt much better and said, "Senior Brother! Junior Brother is feeling aggrieved."
Master Yuqing narrated the cause and effect. Master Yuzhen was shocked when he learned that Yu Song had been killed and Junior Brother Yufu had been captured. Life or death was uncertain.
"That's unreasonable!"
Master Yuzhen said angrily: "You dare to kill a member of my Zhengzhen sect, you are so bold."
Although Master Yuzhen was angry, he was keenly aware of the problem. He frowned and said: "You said that the other party has two great demons in the earth realm to assist you. I'm afraid there are big figures behind it. The demons in Nanping Domain all belong to the commander of Cangmang Mountain. It's not going to be good.
There is a connection between Hua Kingdom and Cangmang Mountain. If this is true, this matter needs to be handled with caution."
Master Yuqing is not as comprehensive as his elder brother thinks. This is not his fault. After all, he has never paid attention to the Nanping Territory and has only a limited understanding of the situation in Cangmang Mountain.
"Cangmang Mountain? Is it very powerful?"
Master Yuqing asked casually.
"There is a Demon Ancestor in Cangmang Mountain. His true form is a roc. He has been practicing for countless years, and his strength has reached the realm of Yuanshen. He is a being who is comparable to the Supreme Elder of our sect. My senior brother didn't know much about him at first, because he once worked with him.
Master mentioned it when we were chatting and told him to pay more attention and not to become an enemy easily."
Master Yuzhen explained.
When Master Yuluo saw that Hua Guo might have the support of a Yuanshen Realm demon, his heart suddenly became filled with despair, and he said sadly and angrily: "Are we going to swallow this big loss alive?"
Upon hearing this, Master Yuzhen waved his hands and explained: "Junior brother, don't be too pessimistic. Master only said not to make enemies easily, but did not say not to be enemies. Moreover, things must be prioritized. Junior Brother Yusong was killed, and Junior Brother Yufu was killed."
Capture, this is something our Zhengzhen Sect will never tolerate. We must take revenge, otherwise the Zhengzhen Sect will lose face. Besides, what I said is just speculation and cannot be accurate."
Master Yuluo felt much better for a while.
"In that case! Let's go to the imperial capital of China."
Master Yuzhen nodded, Master Yuqing led the way, and the two brothers walked towards Donghua City.
At this time, there were not many masters in Donghua Kingdom. Because Zhou Qian had been promoted to the realm, most people went to Qingyuan Gate to celebrate his achievements.
The two brothers were both strong men in the realm, and their strength was extraordinary. It didn't take long for the two of them to arrive at Donghua City, and swaggeringly appeared above the palace again.
The appearance of the two people immediately attracted the attention of the Chinese royal family. Many practitioners appeared and after recognizing Yuqing Zhenren, they felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
The practitioners guarding the palace were puzzled. Li Zhen sent a message before, saying that the grudge was over, so why did Yuqing come back again? It was obvious that the person who came was not a good person.
At this time, only the elders of the three clans and the elders of the fourth clan were sitting in the palace. The remaining two clan elders and the Supreme Emperor went to Qingyuan Gate. Only two of the real top combat forces in Donghua City were left.
The two clan elders came forward and said with a guarded look on their faces: "I wonder what the two Taoists are doing here?"
Master Yuzhen didn't bother to pay attention at all. Master Yuqing's eyes showed a cold light and said coldly: "You killed Junior Brother Pindao and imprisoned another person. Do you think things can be improved?"
"this…………"
The elders of the three and four tribes were sure that the other party was back to take revenge, and they would definitely not be able to resist it. They explained: "Zhen'er has already gone with..."
"roll!"
Master Yuqing was annoyed and did not want to talk nonsense with the two elders. He shouted angrily, and both elders vomited blood on the spot and were shaking.
"Stop talking nonsense! Where is my junior brother being imprisoned? Release him quickly, and where are those people who opposed us a few days ago? Where are they? Come out quickly and die!"
The two clan elders also knew that they could not confront each other head-on, so they quickly signaled to their men to hand over the real Yufu.
Li Zhen originally planned to release Master Yufu after he came back.
Master Yufu was imprisoned in the Zongren Mansion. After he was sent out, he saw Master Yuqing and Master Yuzhen and knew that they were coming to rescue him. He was very happy.
"First senior brother! Second senior brother!"
Yuqing saw that his junior brother was sealed, and after rescuing him, he released the seal and asked with concern: "Junior brother, have you been wronged?"
"snort!"
Master Yufu was filled with shame and anger. Now that he had regained his strength, he looked back at the sect's mansion, raised his hand and smacked it in the air. There was a loud noise, smoke filled the air, and the sect's mansion was instantly reduced to ashes.
Master Yufu was venting his anger, and then he said: "We must avenge this!"
The two senior brothers nodded. Master Yuqing looked at the two clan elders and said, "Where are those people who fought with us that day?"
After making such a big commotion, Li Zhen and others who had fought with them before did not show up, which showed that they were not in the imperial capital.
When the two clan elders saw that the clan's mansion had been reduced to ruins, they were filled with fear. After hearing what Master Yuqing said, they knew they would take revenge, so how could they be willing to tell them their whereabouts?
"Still want to be tough?"
Yufu was imprisoned and hated the Chinese people so much that he could only wash away the humiliation by killing them all.
He suddenly made a move, and the two clan elders had no time to react. They were both captured and their lives were threatened.
"What is Senior Brother asking you? If you don't want to die, come here quickly!"
The two clan elders are also people of integrity. If the other party is not kind, they will definitely not betray their own people and would rather die than surrender.
When Yufu saw them like this, he became even more angry. With a force of his hands, the two clan elders died suddenly on the spot.
"Old from three tribes!"
"Old from the four tribes!"
"..."
The royal masters killed two clan elders, and everyone was horrified.
The two clan elders were not only senior, but also the patron saints of the royal family and even the Chinese nation for hundreds of years. Now that they were killed, they had an irreconcilable hatred.
Yufu's murderous intention did not diminish, he turned his gaze to the others, and said with cold eyes: "Tell me where Hua Di and others are. Rao Er and others will die, otherwise, they will follow in the footsteps of these two old guys."
There are people in the royal family who would rather die than surrender, and there are also people who are greedy for life and fear death.
After the interrogation by Master Yufu, he soon learned that Li Zhen and others had gone to Qingyuan Gate to attend Zhou Qian's celebration ceremony.
When he learned that the date of the celebration was approaching, Yufu said sarcastically: "It's interesting, let's let this happy event turn into a funeral!"
The three brothers left the imperial capital together and headed towards Qingyuan Gate.
··············································
Li Zhen was very happy when he received the news that his grandfather was promoted to a higher realm.
For Grandpa, being promoted to the Earth Realm not only fulfilled his long-cherished wish, but also broke the embarrassing situation where there had been no strong Earth Realm people in the Nanping Region from the beginning to the end. This had a great impact on the entire Nanping Region.
The news not only spread in the Chinese spiritual circles, but also in the Liang spiritual circles. They quickly got the news and put aside their prejudices about the war between the two countries, saying that they would also go to Qingyuan Gate to celebrate Zhou Qian.
This shows how much influence Zhou Qian's promotion to the realm has.
Li Zhen explained the reason to Senior Peng, said goodbye and left Cangmang Mountain.
Senior Peng is the Demon Ancestor because his true form is a roc. When he was practicing with Senior Wan and his wife, he took on a homophonic surname, Peng Mingfei.
"Haha! Your grandpa has been promoted to the Earth Realm. This is a big event for the cultivation world in Nanping Region. I also send you a gift for me to take with you and give you a ride."
"Senior Peng! This is too polite, I absolutely cannot do it."
Senior Peng was so polite because of Jiang Shang's sake. Although Li Zhen was a good young student, he was not worthy of being treated differently by the Demon Ancestor, who was half an immortal. However, Jiang Shang regarded him as
As a brother, this has to attract his attention, not to mention that Senior Wan and his wife also favor Li Zhen very much.
"You're welcome! It's just a small gift, don't take it seriously."
Senior Peng waved his hand not to refuse, and Li Zhen followed suit and agreed.
He very much hopes to establish a good relationship with the Cangmang Mountain Monster Clan, which will be very helpful in consolidating his rule over the Nanping Region in the future.
In the end, Li Zhen and Jiang Shang, accompanied by King Yangli, the second among the six demon kings, headed towards the Qingyuan Gate.
Li Zhen was eager to return home, so the two of them returned to Qingyuan Gate in just one day.
At this time, the Qingyuan Sect was already overcrowded. Representatives from all the sects in the cultivation world were sent, or the head of the sect came to the door in person, and the crowd was huge at once.
After Li Zhen briefly greeted everyone, he went to find his grandfather Zhou Qian.
At this time, Zhou Qian was so proud that he seemed to have returned to his youth, and his joy was beyond words.
"Congratulations, grandpa! You were promoted to the Earth Realm and became the first Earth Realm monk in Nanping Territory!"
When Li Zhen saw his grandfather, he saluted and congratulated him.
Grandpa was in a happier mood when he saw Li Zhen coming back. He also saw King Yangli. Li Zhen introduced each other. Grandpa met King Yangli with the courtesy of a junior, but King Yangli didn't dare to trust him.
"Haha! It doesn't have to be like this! We just need to be equals."
There are several friends of the same generation around my grandfather. When they learned that King Yangli was one of the six demon kings of Cangmang Mountain, they made a special trip to express congratulations on behalf of Cangmang Mountain. They couldn't help but show envy.
The outside world didn’t know much about the Cangmang Mountain Monster Clan before, but since Li Zhen got involved with Jiang Shang, everyone has a general understanding of Cangmang Mountain from Li Zhen’s mouth. While marveling at the power of Cangmang Mountain, they also lamented that Li Zhen was so lucky.
Well, he was able to establish a deep relationship with Cangmang Mountain. In the future, Li Zhen's family will definitely dominate the Nanping region.
The celebration will be held in three days, and all preparations will be coordinated by Qingyuanmen and Wanxian Pavilion.
During this period, Li Zhen took the time to call Ancestor Ghost and Tu Liusun to give them a big reward.
For my grandfather's promotion, their help was indispensable.
After conquering the two of them, grandpa often asked them for advice on matters related to promotion. Li Zhen knew all these, so he rewarded them for their merits and was not stingy.
"The two of you have been of great help to grandpa's advancement, and I see it all in my eyes."
As soon as Li Zhen finished speaking, Ancestor Yougui and Tu Liusun were overjoyed.
The Nine Hells Demonic Sutra Heart Technique that Li Zhen had in hand was something that the Ghost Ancestor coveted, and the Yellow Emperor Gen Kun Jia was a higher level Earth Element Technique than the Earth Element Secret Technique. Tu Liusun had also admired it for a long time, so Li Zhen rewarded him with some of it.
The method of cultivation.
Li Zhen also paid a lot for the reward this time. Ancestor Ghost Ghost and Tu Liusun are both knowledgeable people. If they practice hard, their realm may not increase much, but their combat power will definitely reach a higher level.
"Thank you for the reward, Your Majesty! I will continue to serve you with all my heart."
Ghost Ancestor and Tu Liusun quickly expressed their opinions
"Get up!"
Li Zhen nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "After the celebration is over, we will speed up the process of cleaning up Liang Guo. When the time comes, the two of you will immediately go to Shizhou to join Wuchenzi, and the three of you will work together to help me as quickly as possible.
The speed of cleaning up the Liang Kingdom’s cultivation world.”
"Your Majesty! During this celebration, there will be many prominent figures in the Liang Kingdom's cultivation world. Why not capture them directly? Then..."
The Ghost Ancestor opened his mouth and said.
Li Zhen frowned and raised his hand to stop him.
"Arresting people at a celebration? You can imagine that if word of this spreads, how will outsiders view me? How will they view grandpa? Do we still need to lose face?"
The Ghost Ancestor got a little carried away and came up with a bad idea, and was immediately scolded by Li Zhen.
Tu Liusun stood beside him, covering his mouth and smiling softly.
"There are many people at the celebration, pay attention to order, and do not allow any mistakes to occur. If something goes wrong, you must weigh the consequences yourself."
Li Zhen gave a reminder, and Ghost Ancestor hurriedly responded.
··············································
The day after Li Zhen arrived at Qingyuan Gate, three brothers, Yu Qing, Yu Fu, and Yu Zhen, came to the vicinity of Qing Yuan Gate. Knowing that a celebration was about to be held, they prepared to start on the day of the celebration.
It was Yufu who came up with this idea. It was also his idea to do something at Li Zhen's coronation ceremony.
In addition, there is another point that Yufu is injured. He just used these two days to adjust his condition. Although his senior brother is here to guard him, everything is safe, but he still hopes to take revenge with his own hands.
"Even if the Hua Kingdom has something to do with Cangmang Mountain, we won't be afraid if we don't touch the big demon of Cangmang Mountain and deal with the Emperor of Hua Kingdom, and Cangmang Mountain will pursue him afterward."
Li Zhen killed Yu Song, and in the eyes of Yu Qing and the others, he must pay with his life.
"Not only do we want to kill him, this Emperor Hua also has two powerful magic weapons in his hands. One is a rare five-element treasure whose grade is difficult to judge. The other is a pure Yang magic weapon. Senior brother has always wanted to get a pure Yang magic weapon.
, it happens to be used by senior brother."
Master Yuqing looked at the lively scene in the Qingyuan Gate in the distance, with a sarcastic look on his face, and suggested to the senior brother next to him.
When the senior brother heard that Emperor Hua had a pure Yang magic weapon, his eyes immediately lit up.
"There is actually a pure Yang magic weapon? What level is it?"
"I'm afraid he's at least a middle-level earth-level person."
"Haha! This time I came to a remote and remote area like Nanping Territory, and I was lucky enough to get a pure Yang magic weapon."
Senior Brother Yu Zhen was obviously a little impatient.
··········································
The celebration for Zhou Qian, the Supreme Elder of the Qingyuan Sect, to be promoted to a new realm was held as scheduled.
This celebration is a grand event for the spiritual practice community in the Nanping Region. In addition to people from all walks of life in the Chinese practice community, the Chinese Supreme Emperor, the elders of the big clans, and the elders of the two clans also came to participate with the imperial court. What’s more important is that
What's more, people from various sects in the Liang Kingdom's spiritual circles also came, and they were all heavyweights.
Although the two sides had fought to the death not long ago, they put aside their grudges today and came to celebrate Zhou Qian's celebration.
Li Zhen also privately expressed his attitude towards the various sects of Liang Guo's cultivation sects. While welcoming them, he also promised that no personal grudges would occur.
"Today is a great day for my grandpa to be promoted to the next level. As a junior, I welcome all the seniors to come and celebrate. I would like to thank you all!"
The celebration was originally supposed to be hosted by grandpa's eldest disciple, but after discussion, Li Zhen decided to take action. After all, grandpa's eldest disciple might not be able to control the scene, but Li Zhen was different. He is now very famous.
Today is the grandpa's celebration. Li Zhen behaved very humbly and politely, bowed to everyone, and told them that today he is Li Zhen, not Emperor Hua.
The various sects definitely did not dare to express their gratitude, so they all stood up and returned the greeting.
"Seniors and colleagues are guests from afar. If there is any inconvenience in greeting you, please point it out so that we can have a chance to correct it."
Li Zhenla chatted with the hundreds of people present in a family-like manner, and the atmosphere was relaxed and joyful.
But just as Li Zhen started, three escaping lights suddenly appeared in the sky. Everyone was startled. Li Zhen frowned, and a bad premonition arose in his heart.
This scene is all too familiar.
A similar situation occurred when he ascended the throne.
Li Zhen took a closer look and found that among the people who came were Zhenren Yuqing, Zhenren Yufu, and an older one whom he had never seen before. Judging from the appearance, they were obviously in the same group.
Wasn't Yufu imprisoned in the Zongren Mansion?
"The three brothers, Pindao, are here from the Taiping Domain. Shouldn't Emperor Huati entertain you well for this grand event?"
Master Yuqing had a sarcastic look on his face.
Li Zhen looked at Jiang Shang aside. Senior Peng had sent the Bull Demon King to deliver a letter to the Zhengzhen Sect before, and the grudges were wiped out. Why are they still here? Could it be that the Zhengzhen Sect hasn't received the letter yet? Or are they?
After getting the letter, you didn't betray Senior Peng's face?
No matter what it is, it doesn't look good today.
Because of his relationship with Yun Linglong, Li Zhen did not want to have a life-or-death relationship with her.
"I wonder what the three Taoists are doing here?"
Li Zhen asked knowingly.
"What are you doing?!"
Master Yufu said angrily: "If you dare to go against our Zhengzhen sect, I will kill you today to avenge Senior Brother Yusong. I will also make your country of China bow down to our Zhengzhen sect. If you know the truth, others can do it."
Avoid death, otherwise, your place will become a river of blood today."
When Li Zhen heard this, he still said patiently: "Senior Peng from Cangmang Mountain knows about the grudges between us, and has sent people to send letters to your sect, hoping to turn conflicts into friendship. I'm afraid it's inappropriate for you to do this, right?
"
Upon hearing this, Master Yufu and Master Yuqing didn't know how to respond, and they all looked at their senior brother, Master Yuzhen.
Master Yuzhen said with a solemn expression: "Senior Peng, we must give you face, but you killed Junior Brother Yusong. There is no room for negotiation on this matter. You must pay with blood."
Li Zhen's party saw that there was no way to be kind, so there was no need to continue talking. Ancestor Ghost Ghost, Tu Liusun, King Huli, King Blackscale and King Yangli all stood up one after another. Among them, King Yangli shouted:
: "You'd better think clearly. Once you take action, you will not only be the enemy of China, but also be the enemy of our Cangmang Mountain."
"Is Cangmang Mountain very powerful?"
Master Yuzhen looked calm and said: "So what if we are enemies with you? If you dare to go against our Zhengzhen sect, you will have to pay the price!"
"You Zhengzhen Sect are too domineering! This is not the Taiping Territory, this is the territory of the Chinese Kingdom of Nanping Territory. If you want to go wild, ask us first if we agree!"
The speaker was Sect Leader Lu of Tianchen Sect.
Foreign practitioners first went wild in the imperial capital, and then came here again. The practitioners in the Chinese cultivation world also felt that they were disgraced.
"Sect Leader Lu's words make sense! This is China, our territory, it's not your turn to act wild!"
"Let's all take action together! Let's see if they are smart enough."
"If we don't deal with them, how can we, the practitioners in Nanping Region, lose face?!"
"………………………………………………"
The practitioners in the Chinese cultivation world were filled with indignation and united to take action together. As for the practitioners in Liang, they did not move because they did not know why Yuqing and the others came in the first place. They pretended that it was none of their business.
Hanging attitude.
It's just that many practitioners from the Chinese country cast their eyes on them with unkind eyes, which made them quite confused for a moment.
Yuqing and Yufu looked ugly. If all the cultivators present united, they would be really difficult to deal with. But then Yuzhen just snorted coldly, and the Chinese cultivators with high morale suddenly became quiet, and they were horrified.
.
Master Yuzhen is a strong man in the realm of spiritual thoughts and can use spiritual thoughts to attack. This is absolutely crushing for practitioners or immortal cultivators who cannot use spiritual thoughts.
It is no exaggeration to say that it is not difficult for a cultivator in the realm of spiritual thoughts to kill a cultivator in the realm of true law.
Master Yuzhen exuded his divine thoughts and crushed them mentally. All the practitioners present felt like a towering and irresistible mountain was pressing down on them, and no one dared to take a breath.
"Oops! This person is in the spiritual realm."
King Yang Li was the one with the highest cultivation level on Li Zhen's side. After realizing something was wrong, he quickly reminded: "Only the earth-level mid-level defensive magic weapons have the ability to withstand divine thoughts. If we are unable to stop it, we will only be massacred.
"
When Li Zhen heard this, his heart was shocked. At the same time, he subconsciously summoned the Five Emperors Cauldron, mobilized his true energy, and enveloped all the people around him under the five-color divine light.
He didn't know if the Five Emperors Cauldron could resist divine thoughts, but other than this method, there was no other way.
"My magic weapon may have the ability to withstand divine thoughts. Please don't leave. You can use the magic weapon to attack the opponent from a distance."
Li Zhen used the Five Emperors Cauldron to protect not many people. More than 20 people in the arena were all under protection, and these 20 people were all close to Li Zhen. As for the others, Li Zhen could not do anything for the time being.
Jiang Shang was very angry and said to King Yangli: "The old man boasted how great he was in front of us, but turned around and was slapped in the face. He is really shameless. If there is something wrong with me today, don't you think I will?"
Burn that shit Cangmang Mountain.”
King Yangli and the other two demon kings did not dare to answer the conversation and looked embarrassed.
"Brother Zhen, don't worry! There are so many little brothers. Although they are powerful, we can kill them even if we use magic weapons to hit them."
Jiang Shang said with confidence.
Li Zhen nodded. It was basically impossible for the other party to take advantage of them.
