Since the war between the Buddhist camp and the Human Religion camp began, this temple has become an outpost to defend the Tianzhu region, and many Buddhist masters are stationed there. However, in order to better resist the possible large-scale invasion by the Human Religion side, Buddhism has been transferred from the Western Tang Dynasty to
, some experts from the two countries of Nanming and Ming Dynasty were dispatched to assist, including some close aristocratic families.
Ji Song, one of the seven Taiyi Immortals of the Ji family, is stationed here, and there are nearly ten Tianjing clan members under his command.
As the first family of the human race, the Ji family is not responsible for such garrison tasks. To put it bluntly, this is actually hard work. How can a member of the dignified Ji family do such a thing? But the Ji family took the initiative to send out
Ji Song, this has to be said to have doubled the good impression of the Ji family on the Buddhist side. However, the reality is not as simple as it seems.
After Zhou Xuan was killed, an internal meeting was held within the Ji family. The content was very simple. Because of Zhou Xuan's incident, the Ji family completely declared war on the Human Cult and the Hua Kingdom. They not only wanted to avenge Zhou Xuan, but also wanted to recapture the fallen country.
The Xuanyuan Sword entered the hands of China.
In this meeting, all members of the direct lineage were full of hostility towards the People's Religion and the Chinese state, but the side members headed by Ji Shaosang believed that it was unwise to do so. Among the forces within the human race today, the People's Religion is the most powerful.
Without foreign aid, the Renjiao side has an absolute advantage, and being close to the Renjiao side is more beneficial to the family.
Unfortunately, this idea was opposed by the direct lineage led by Ji Shaochun. On the surface, it was just a discussion, but in fact, the collateral line's proposal was not authoritative at all. After the meeting, Ji Shaochun was afraid that the collateral lineage would betray the family.
Not only did they monitor the main members of the collateral faction, they also dispersed them to various places to control and divide them.
Ji Song, as one of the leaders of the side faction, was sent to the Great Baoen Temple to perform garrison duties. Even if there was someone to do this kind of thing, he, the Taiyi Immortal, should not do it.
Ji Song obeyed the family's orders and led his troops to this place. He did his duty, but found that even if he left the family, there were still people secretly monitoring his every move. This made him shocked and angry. If it weren't for Ji Shaosang.
As the number one person in the collateral department suppresses him, he may have turned against him long ago.
The dignified Taiyi Immortal was so humiliated that no one would believe him if he told him.
Ji Song could not disobey family orders, but he expressed his dissatisfaction by being passive and sabotaging his work. He only practiced in his room every day, but no one dared to control him.
On this day, he was practicing, and suddenly he felt something in his heart. He carefully set up a ban, and then took out something from his arms, which was a talisman. This talisman was given to him by Ji Shaosang before he came, for the purpose of keeping secrets.
Contact, it's just that after such a long time, Ji Song still hasn't seen Fu Lu make any move. He thought Ji Shaosang had forgotten him, and he couldn't help but show excitement because he didn't expect the sudden reaction today.
Ji Shaosang contacted him secretly because he definitely didn't want his direct descendants to find out, and if some things needed to be hidden from his direct descendants, it must be contrary to the direct descendants' ideals.
The talisman was activated by Ji Song, and Ji Shaosang, condensed by mana, appeared in front of him.
"See uncle!"
Ji Song said respectfully.
"No need to be polite. I have something to discuss with you. I need to cooperate well and don't make any mistakes."
Ji Shaosang said.
"I will obey my uncle's arrangements. My nephew will not dare to disobey."
Ji Song has full respect for Ji Shaosang. Without Ji Shaosang, the life of the sideline would be even more difficult.
The specific content of what Ji Song and Ji Shaosang talked about is unknown, but after the secret conversation ended, Ji Song swept away the gloom on his face and showed an expression of relief.
"It's long overdue!"
Ji Song's eyes flashed with cold light, and he immediately calmed down, walked out of the room, and called his subordinates to make arrangements.
"Someone is coming!"
"What are your orders, sir?"
Upon hearing this, a subordinate hurriedly came forward to wait for orders.
"I'm going out for a trip. You can stay here for a while and don't cause any trouble."
Ji Song said casually.
The subordinates looked surprised when they heard this, and then asked cautiously: "I wonder why you are going out? How long will it take for you to come back?"
"Huh? What do I want to do? Do I still need to report everything to you?"
Ji Song looked annoyed when he heard this, and his subordinates said in fear: "My lord, please forgive me! I'm talking too much."
As soon as he finished speaking, his subordinates immediately slapped him.
When Ji Song saw this, he didn't want to get angry. He snorted coldly, and then turned into a ray of light and disappeared. After Ji Song left, his subordinates lost their previous caution, narrowed their eyes slightly, pondered again and again, and finally decided to treat Ji Song's abnormality.
Report the action.
This subordinate was the person assigned by Ji Shaochun to monitor Ji Song. Ji Song had nothing unusual here before, but today he suddenly left without warning and hurriedly. This is quite strange and worth noting.
This kind of thing not only happened to Ji Song, Ji Yun, who was also a double hero of the collateral branch, was also assigned to perform tasks outside. He was in the same situation as Ji Song. He also had a secret conversation with Ji Shaosang and left in a hurry.
At the location, such abnormal behavior was also reported to Ji Shaochun by the surveillance personnel below.
These two are not the only outstanding members of the collateral branch. After Ji Song and Ji Yun left their respective stations, any heavenly masters from the collateral branch who were outside also started to behave abnormally, and for various reasons and ways.
Choosing to act alone, the news came to Ji Shaochun, which attracted her great attention.
···············································
···
Zhulu City, Ji Family.
Ji Shaochun fell into deep thought as he watched the surveillance reports of key personnel from the subordinates.
"They break away from the family's surveillance for various reasons and in various ways, as if they have agreed upon it, but how do they communicate with each other?"
Ji Shaochun's expression gradually changed from confusion to seriousness, and finally he narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Can you track their whereabouts?"
Opposite Ji Shaochun knelt down three tribesmen, who were her confidants. They replied: "Ji Song and Ji Yun are not easy to follow, but it is not too difficult for some of the people below to follow them. In order to avoid alerting others, we did not follow them."
It’s too close, but we can be sure that they are all moving in the direction of Nanming.”
"Nan Ming? What are they doing there?"
"The masters from the side branches of the Ji family behaved strangely at almost the same time. We must be on guard. Should we report this matter to the great elder and the head of the family?"
One of the subordinates suggested.
Ji Shaokuu waved his hand and said: "There is no need to trouble my brother about some small matters."
"Gather the troops and let's go to Nanming to see what they are up to."
As soon as these words came out, the three subordinates showed embarrassment and kindly reminded them again: "Your Highness Princess! If they really have evil intentions, let's go there rashly, right..."
"What are you afraid of? How can a group of juniors change the world? Even with Ji Shaosang's backing, is this princess afraid of him? As long as she is honest, if she really crosses the line, this time the company will
Shaosang took care of it together."
Ji Shaochun said with a confident attitude.
When the three subordinates saw this, they did not dare to say anything more.
Ji Shaosang is at the first level of Daluo Jinxian, while Ji Shaochun is at the middle level of Daluo Jinxian, and there are faint signs of breaking through to the upper level. In terms of strength, he beats Ji Shaosang. Furthermore, although Ji Shaochun is not a member of the Ji family
But it’s Emperor Xuanyuan
The adopted daughter was loved and loved. After all, Emperor Xuanyuan did not have a daughter, so he regarded her as his own, possessing a great treasure. This was something that Ji Shaosang could not compare to. So if the two sides really wanted to fight, Ji Shaosang was confident that he would win.
Finally, under Ji Shaochun's arbitrary action, she led two Taiyi Immortals and eight heavenly masters towards the realm of Nanming.
···············································
···
The place where Ji Song, Ji Yun, and the heavenly masters from the Ji family's affiliated family went was none other than Nanming Shaozhen Mountain, Ji Shaosang's other residence.
Ji Shaosang wants to 'eat' Ji Shaochun's men here, and then leads his cronies back to the Ji family to seize the power of the Ji family and ask the hypocritical Ji Shaochang to hand over his power. If he understands the current situation, everyone will be happy, but if Ning is stubborn, he will not do it.
, Ji Shaosang doesn’t mind killing the son of Emperor Xuanyuan.
The struggle for power has always been cold and ruthless.
To be kind to your enemies is to be cruel to yourself.
Now that you have decided to join the human religion, the so-called family ties and family ties are all a burden.
Shaozhenshan, Ji Song and others gathered to meet Ji Shaosang.
"See uncle!"
"See the Third Elder!"
"………………"
Led by Ji Song and Ji Yun, more than a dozen outstanding disciples from the side branches of the Ji family gathered together, waiting for Ji Shaosang's order. They had already learned about Ji Shaosang's plan, and since they were willing to come here, they must have agreed to the action.
The collateral line has always been suppressed by the direct lineage. This kind of suppression does not come from the open side, but is like a knife scraping flesh. This makes the collateral line very aggrieved, especially the recent surveillance, which has made their dissatisfaction reach a critical point.
, Ji Shaosang’s action of usurping power was met with hundreds of responses.
Even though there were only a dozen people here, they each represented their own group, radiating to the entire Ji family. This force should not be underestimated compared to the Ji family.
There are not many direct members of the Ji family, and the number of collateral members is almost ten times that of the direct members. If it were not for the family rules and the disparity in upper-level combat power, the collateral members would have resisted long ago.
During this time of resistance, there were people who could help and guide us, and everyone had the belief that we would win.
"Everyone knows the purpose of calling everyone here this time, and I won't talk nonsense here."
Ji Shaosang had a stern look on his face and said: "Ji Shaochun has done too much and cannot tolerate our side clan. As the head of the side clan, I have to make decisions for the members of the side clan."
"Ji Shaochang Ning is stubborn and stubborn. He tied up Chan to teach, which obviously put the Ji family to death. The ancestors knew underground and definitely did not want to see this scene. Ji Shaosang is not talented and is willing to find a way out for the Ji family and join the human religion.
, promote the unification of the human race, save the Ji family from the disaster of annihilation, and create greater glory!"
"We will follow you to the death, and we are willing to accept the third elder as the new head of the family and lead the Ji family to create greater glory!"
"We will follow you to the death, and we are willing to accept the third elder as the new head of the family and lead the Ji family to create greater glory!"
"………………………………………………"
Ji Song and Ji Yun took the lead in swearing allegiance to the Tao.
When Ji Shaosang heard this, his eyes showed murderous intent, and he said: "I am praised by all the clansmen, and I am willing to accompany you. Ji Shaosang will definitely live up to your expectations!"
"You will follow me and fight back to Ji's house to bring order to the chaos and prove the innocence!"
"As you command!"
"I'll obey!"
Ji Song, Ji Yun and others took the order.
Next, Ji Song and Ji Yun took their troops to make preparations, while Ji Shaosang went to see Li Zhen for entrustment.
At this time, Li Zhen and the others were in the darkroom. They saw Ji Shaosang's mobilization clearly and felt quite emotional in their hearts.
"Ji Shaosang was able to mobilize the entire side of the team in one breath, and the people below him are even more loyal to him. This is not something that can be achieved in one day, but it can be seen that he has planned it for a long time."
Li Zhen nodded.
"Whether it's a noble family or a commoner, the distinction between legitimate concubines and concubines has always been a big problem. When a family declines, apart from irresistible external factors, if you study history carefully, you will find that the dispute between direct descendants and concubines is the biggest root cause of destruction.
"
Yun Linglong said with emotion.
Li Zhen nodded in agreement.
"The whole world understands this truth, but when it comes to dealing with it, everyone will favor the direct lineage."
Li Zhen concluded: "People never learn from history, but keep making the same mistakes over and over again."
"Will we in China have such a day in the future?"
Yun Linglong looked at Li Zhen and asked.
"This question is too sharp, and I can't answer it."
Li Zhen shook his head and said: "In my concept, it is natural to establish talents, but to be honest about the royal affairs, at that time, my words may not necessarily be able to influence all thoughts."
"The leader of a country also has troubles."
Yun Linglong sighed.
The couple were chatting, but the master of the nunnery, Ming Jing, did not interrupt and remained a silent bystander.
Ji Shaosang came to see Li Zhen and said, "Hua Di! Ji Shaosang will arrive in one day at most, and then we will have to worry about it."
"Are you so sure that Ji Shaochun will act without authorization?"
Li Zhen was a little worried about Ji Shaosang's confidence.
"Stubborn and self-righteous."
Ji Shaosang commented: "She is just a spoiled princess. If I can't control her, how can I talk about 'seizing power'?"
"Okay! Don't worry about Ji Shaochun. I won't interfere with the Ji family. It all depends on your performance. I hope you won't disappoint me."
Li Zhen reminded.
Ji Shaochun was left to Li Zhen to deal with, while Ji Shaochang was handled by Ji Shaosang himself. As long as Ji Shaosang could take down the Ji family, Li Zhen was promised a high position in China in the future. If not, then the future would be
Become a vassal of China.
There is a world of difference between the two.
"Don't worry Vantage, I will do what I say."
After Ji Shaosang made another promise, he saluted solemnly somewhere behind Li Zhen to show respect, and then left, leading his men and horses towards Zhulu City.
···············································
Half a day later, Ji Shaochun came to Shaozhen Mountain with his cronies.
"They all came here?"
Ji Shaochun looked at the ordinary Shaozhenshan and asked.
"Reporting to the second elder, Ji Song and others have indeed entered this mountain."
one of the followers responded.
Ji Shaochun nodded and checked the situation on the mountain. He soon found Ji Shaosang's villa, but no one was found. The building had long been deserted. However, after all, she and Ji Shaosang had known each other for many years, and they were in this villa.
Sensing Ji Shaosang's aura, his eyes became darker.
Ji Shaosang had lived here for a long time, and members of the side clan came here. Guoru suspected that they were ordered by Ji Shaosang.
"See where you can escape!"
Although Ji Shaochun found no trace of Ji Shaosang or his affiliated members, she believed that they must have been hiding and were definitely still in Shaozhen Mountain. And she was also an expert and bold, so she led her troops straight to Ji Shao
If you leave Sang's home, you won't be afraid of traps.
"Second Elder, do you want to test it first, just in case..."
A subordinate reminded me kindly.
Ji Shaochun showed disdain and said, "What are you afraid of? Are you still afraid that Ji Shaosang will be harmful to this princess?"
Ji Shaochun waved his hand and headed towards Beifu. When the people below saw this, they felt that Ji Shaosang would not dare to do anything inappropriate with Ji Shaochun's status, so they all relaxed their vigilance and waited until they entered the main hall of Beifu.
, the scene that came into view shocked everyone.
There are many people in the main hall, about twenty, but they are not Ji Shaosang and others, but masters from the casual cultivator world headed by Jiang Lan and Wan Yue, among whom are Li Zhen, Yun Linglong, and the master of Ming Jing'an.
"you?!"
Ji Shaochun had never met Li Zhen, but he knew Jiang Lan and Wan Yue, and had learned that the two had led many masters in the casual cultivator world to join the Human Cult camp. Meeting here now not only confirmed that Ji Shaosang had secretly joined the Human Cult.
He taught her and even set a trap to deal with her.
She thought that Ji Shaosang did not dare to do anything to her, and she was self-righteous, but she did not know that once Ji Shaosang took action, Ji Shaochun was not even qualified to be his opponent.
With his eyes above his head and arrogance, Ji Shaochun could live to this day. If it were not for the protection of Emperor Xuanyuan, he would have died countless times.
"you!"
Ji Shaochun was bursting with fear, and at the same time secretly sent a message to her brother Ji Shaochang, hoping to come for support. Unfortunately, as soon as she made some move, Jiang Lan's voice sounded in the hall.
"I advise you not to act rashly, and even if you call Ji Shaochang, he probably won't have time to help you at this time."
Jiang Lan said in a determined tone.
Although Jiang Lan has lived in seclusion for many years, for Ji Shaochun and many Taiyi Immortals who have lived since the Middle Ages, the power of their husband and wife has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, not to mention that there are still many Daluo Jinxian and Taiyi in the temple.
Damn it, people like them can hardly fly.
"Where is Ji Shaosang? Let him come out to see this princess!"
Ji Shaokui said with a stern expression, "Your human religion only knows this sneaky and despicable method. You really pretend to be the largest religion in the human race."
Jiang Lan heard this and was too lazy to respond.
At the level of their husband and wife, a character like Ji Shaochun is not worthy of communicating with them at all. Li Zhen stood up at this time and said: "Are you qualified to evaluate people's teachings and their work? Who do you think you are!"
"I will give you two options now, either surrender without mercy, or I will send you back to the west today to meet your ancestors."
If it is not used, it will be cut off and eradicated.
This is Li Zhen's style of doing things, which is completely different from that of Qingxu Daojun.
Qingxu Daojun may make some concessions for the sake of the overall situation, but Li Zhen will not. As long as you don't listen to advice, it doesn't matter who you are or how great you are. You will not be merciless when killing.
"How dare you! Who are you? How dare you talk to this princess like this!"
Ji Shaochun didn't know Li Zhen, but when he saw Li Zhen, a junior, shouting at them, he burst into anger and shame.
"I am the king of China, Li Zhen, the closed disciple of the leader of the Human Religion. I wonder if I am qualified to talk to you?"
Li Zhendao.
Ji Shaochun was startled when he heard this, and then said: "So you are Li Zhen!"
"Yes, this is Li Zhen."
Li Zhen smiled.
Li Zhen's name can be said to be the current number one enemy of the Ji family. Let's not talk about killing Zhou Xuan. Just taking the Xuanyuan Sword made the Ji family hate him deeply. Unfortunately, Li Zhen has a deep background and the Ji family has nothing to do.
.
"Two roads, now you can make a choice."
Li Zhen pointed to the left side of the hall and said: "Those who are willing to surrender to our country, China, will be spared death. I only give you a quarter of an hour to think about it."
What Li Zhen said was very particular. He only said that he would submit to the Chinese state, not the human religion. This shows that Li Zhen wanted to take the Ji family for his own use.
Hearing this, the direct members of the Ji family all showed hesitation. In the current situation, they must not be able to resist with force. Not to mention how many masters in the casual cultivator world were around, they had no choice but to capture the Jiang family alone.
In the face of life and death, the bad roots of human nature will be fully displayed.
Ji Shaochun was in a dilemma. When he saw that the people below him were wavering, he immediately got angry and scolded: "As a queen, how can a talented person from the Ji family just live an ignoble existence?"
"If you want us to surrender, don't have any illusions. We won't sit still and wait for death. We want to see what you are capable of!"
While Ji Shaochun was speaking, the treasure light flashed in his hand, and a pair of swords appeared in his hands. The sword light was sharp and cold. It was obvious that they were a pair of extremely impressive sharp weapons. Even if they were not among the emperor's magic weapons, they were still not far away.
It can be seen that it is a protective treasure carefully refined by Emperor Xuanyuan.
"Ji Shaochun, you are worthy of the fact that the Emperor Xuanyuan considered your righteous daughter to be worthy of the Ji family and to maintain your integrity even if she was destined to lose. I admire you."
Zhong Quan took a step forward and said: "We are just fighting on our own. There is nothing we can do, so I will be your opponent. If you win, I will let you go."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhong Quan looked at Jiang Lan and said, "Brother Jiang, how about I make the decision on this matter?"
Jiang Lan did not respond when he heard the words, but Li Zhen interrupted: "Senior Zhong's words are reasonable, but the conditions have to be changed. If you defeat Senior Zhong, you can leave, but from now on you cannot be an enemy of the Human Cult. If you lose,
Yes, we must surrender to China and serve China."
"If you can't keep your promise, you will be killed!"
Zhong Quan was suddenly a little surprised. He originally thought that Jiang Lan would take the lead here, but he didn't expect this new junior to be the decision-maker.
Jiang Lan and his wife highly praised this.
As long as Li Zhen grows up smoothly, he will definitely become a powerful person in the world in the future.
"Okay! Is this princess afraid?"
Zhong Quan's Da Luo Jinxian cultivation level is worse than that of Ji Shaochun in terms of realm, but the magic weapon in his hand, Zhong Quan is far inferior to Ji Shaochun. In the final analysis, it is not clear who has the advantage between the two sides. This is a fair fight.
Ji Shaochun had no choice but to accept the challenge. If he didn't agree, would he just watch the Ji family's masters be wiped out in her hands?
As the saying goes, if you keep the green hills, you won’t have to worry about running out of firewood.
While the battle was about to begin, Ji Shaosang secretly returned to the Ji family with his troops. However, he did not immediately launch a coup. Instead, he met several direct members of the Ji family in private, and then swaggered to meet with Ji Shaochang who was practicing.
.
Ji Shaosang's sudden appearance surprised Ji Shaochang, because recently, Ji Shaosang had left the Ji family's affairs on the pretext of spiritual practice, and obviously wanted to avoid suspicion. This time he suddenly came back, his aura was dignified, even with a chilling tone.
