"My subordinates pay their respects to the city lord!"
After another monk heard Duan Jing's words and saw Shen Changqing's appearance, he was stunned for a moment, and then followed suit and saluted.
Although he joined Hongshan City later, there is only one strong person in the entire Hongshan City who can make Duan Jing so respectful and claim to be the city lord.
That is the Lord of Hongshan City who has been in seclusion for five hundred years.
The top powerhouse who once defeated the God Emperor as a God King.
"No gifts."
Shen Changqing said lightly.
After hearing this, the two people straightened up.
Then.
Shen Changqing waved to the other monk to signal him to leave first. The latter also understood and respectfully left the hall.
At this time, only Shen Changqing and Duan Jing were left in the lobby.
"Yes, you have broken through to the realm of the God King in these years!"
Shen Changqing said approvingly.
Not to mention that the scene in front of me has entered the realm of the Divine Lord, and its aura is very stable. It is obvious that it has accumulated a certain amount of experience in the realm of the Divine Lord.
The Immortal Hegemonic Body Technique is the inheritance of the top gods. Even if Duanjing is just an ordinary monk, practicing such inheritance is destined to make the opponent's combat power stronger than that of ordinary monks of the same level.
For example, Duan Jing has now entered the first level of the Divine Lord and has the ability to compete with the average second level Divine Lord.
Shen Changqing also understood this point clearly.
In response to this, Duan Jing said with awe on his face: "My subordinates are here today only because they depend on the City Lord. Without the City Lord, my subordinates would not be where they are today!"
"There is no need to say so many nice things. I have been in seclusion for five hundred years. Has there been any change in the ancient wilderness and the Netherworld now?"
Shen Changqing waved his hand and went directly to the topic.
The time he spent in seclusion this time was not short, a full five hundred years had passed.
Among mortals, five hundred years is enough to complete the change of dynasty. It is not an exaggeration to say that the world has changed forever.
For a monk, five hundred years is nothing.
But one thing needs to be clear.
The Netherworld now is not the Netherworld back then.
Catastrophes occur frequently.
The situation in the underworld is changing every moment.
Five hundred years is enough to change a lot of things.
Not to mention other things, just in terms of calamity energy, Shen Changqing felt that the calamity energy in the ancient wilderness was at least several times stronger than five hundred years ago.
This is a sign that the great calamity has evolved to its peak.
When Shen Changqing went into seclusion to meditate on the Kendo of Killing, he was almost corroded by the calamity, and had some desire to kill in his heart.
Normally, with his current level of cultivation, even if the calamity energy grows several times, it is unlikely to affect his own character. But the problem is that the sword of killing is focused on killing power.
Kill and kill.
The tribulation energy is also the main killer.
When the two met, the power that seduced the mind increased exponentially. Even with Shen Changqing's current cultivation and temperament, he was somewhat unable to control it.
But luckily.
He has enough control over his own heart.
otherwise.
Infected by such calamity, Shen Changqing was bound to become a puppet for killing.
so.
Shen Changqing was able to conclude that there must be other changes in Netherworld, otherwise, how could the calamity energy expand so much.
"City Lord, four hundred years ago, the war between the two camps of Darkness and Netherworld escalated. Trillions of monk armies from the two camps fought against each other, causing the entire land of Kyushu to be shrouded in flames of war.
It is said that many of the powerful men who reached the level of the God Emperor have died in large numbers, and the two camps have suffered heavy losses as a result."
"Three hundred and fifty years ago, the dark camp pressed forward step by step, and the Chaos Emperor conquered a large area of the Tiangang Ancestral Court, killed many powerful people in the Tiangang Ancestral Court, and then took control of it.
But I never thought that the Tiangang Ancestral Court had already prepared and laid a terrifying killing array in the Lost Territory.
When the Chaos Emperor took control, the Tiangang Ancestral Court directly activated the killing array to kill all the hundreds of millions of monks in that territory, turning it into a ghost domain.
This battle caused the Chaos Empire to suffer heavy losses, and also escalated the conflict between the two sides again."
"After that, the two camps used their backhands to ambush each other. Many monks from the sects were affected and became victims of the catastrophe. Many forces in Kyushu had to leave their homeland and seek refuge in Bahuang."
Duan Jing's words made Shen Changqing finally understand why the calamity aura had developed to such a terrifying level.
The two camps of love are completely going crazy right now.
According to what the other party said, the first person to overturn the table was Tiangang Ancestral Court.
Set up a killing array.
The Chaos Ancestral Court was secretly involved.
In fact, the Tiangang Ancestral Court's killing array not only killed the monks of the Chaos Empire, but also many sects and other monks living in that territory.
After all, Kyushu is the center of the Netherworld, with rich spiritual energy and numerous opportunities. Most of the monks live in Kyushu.
Although the two camps went to war, many monk sects remained neutral and did not participate in such wars.
but now.
A killing formation from the Tiangang Ancestral Court could harm all of these neutral forces.
This kind of approach can be said to be extremely crazy.
But it can also be seen from the side that the Netherworld camp is probably really forced to a dead end. Otherwise, the Tiangang Ancestral Court will never act like this.
You must know that doing this will easily arouse the anger of other neutral forces.
Unfortunately.
Tiangang Ancestral Court still did this, which meant that the other party had no other options.
"A killing array kills hundreds of millions of monks. These overlord-level forces don't care about the lives of other sect monks at all!"
Shen Changqing shook his head slightly.
When Duan Jing heard this, he also sneered and sneered: "For those forces, how can they care about the lives of other sect forces and our casual cultivators.
These overlord-level forces can rise, which one does not enslave the lower-level monks, absorb their flesh, blood, and marrow and grow step by step to this day.
Regardless of whether it is the Four Great Imperial Dynasties or the Tiangang Ancestral Court and other forces, in their eyes, ordinary monks are like ants and can be killed easily!"
It can be heard from these words that Duan Jing is quite resentful, even angry.
Lips are dead and teeth are cold.
The death of the rabbit makes the fox sad.
The Tiangang Ancestral Court was able to set up a killing array and bury all the other innocent monks, and the Chaos Emperor could also follow suit.
The game between these top forces has made ordinary low-level monks the victims. Duan Jing naturally feels the same way.
and.
From these things, he also felt a great crisis.
If one day the ancient wilderness becomes a battlefield, will he also follow in the footsteps of the Kyushu monks?
After all, if we join the killing array, who can survive?
The number of monks who died in the killing array is hard to count. Even the mighty God Emperor among them had to die, let alone other monks.
Hear the words.
Shen Changqing was silent for a while, and then sighed.
"If you don't realize the immortality of the Taoist God, you will be nothing more than ants in the end. We monks are trying to survive in the catastrophe. We must seize every opportunity to have the possibility of preserving ourselves!"
"What the city lord said makes sense!"
Duan Jing also nodded with deep sympathy.
Originally, he was a little proud and complacent in his heart to prove the Taoist Lord, but after hearing what happened in Kyushu, the little pride he had in his heart disappeared without a trace.
What about the Lord of Gods?
In front of those forces and top experts, he is just a stronger ant.
so.
Over the years, Duanjing has been working hard to run Hongshan City. Because he understands that he has been able to reach this point entirely because of Shen Changqing. Without him, Duanjing would still be just a member of the Hongling Mountains. Ordinary casual cultivators will fall into the hands of other powerful people at some unknown time.
in the hands of the person.
Now that I have been able to break through the Divine Lord, normally, this is almost the limit.
Being able to be a casual cultivator shows that your cultivation talent is not too strong.
Duan Jing had a hunch that if he wanted to go further, he would have to hug Shen Changqing's thigh tightly.
Even though Shen Changqing was just a casual cultivator, Duanjing always had an idea in his mind that made him sure that the other party was definitely not as simple as an ordinary cultivator.
Only by following Shen Changqing can we have hope of deciding our own destiny.
otherwise.
Throughout his life, he was just an ordinary low-level casual cultivator.
Shen Changqing didn't know what Duan Jing was thinking. After the other party finished speaking, he spoke again.
"You just said that many forces in Kyushu left their homeland and went to the Eight Wastelands. So, in Ancient Wasteland, there are many strange forces belonging to Kyushu?"
"Yes, there are indeed many strange forces entering the Ancient Wilderness now. Although most of the forces are going to the other Seven Wildernesses, there are also some forces that are going to the Ancient Wilderness.
Just because a hundred years ago, all the forces guarding the nine ancient cities were evacuated, making this place temporarily much more stable!"
Duan Ding nodded.
The ancient wilderness has a special geographical location. The entrance to the heavens is here, and it is destined to become a place where the two major forces will compete in the future.
but now.
The major forces guarding the nine ancient cities in the wilderness have withdrawn, which means that the two camps do not want to waste their efforts on this and are bent on deciding the outcome within the Nine Provinces.
This way.
The danger of the ancient wilderness has naturally been reduced a lot.
This is also the reason why other forces enter the ancient wasteland.
otherwise.
Other forces also dare not enter the ancient wilderness.
After all, there are Netherworld forces stationed in the Nine Cities of the Ancient Wasteland, and no one can guarantee when the war will spread to the Ancient Wasteland. But now that the Netherworld forces have withdrawn, this problem can be ignored for the time being.
But after all, the Ancient Wasteland is the most barren place among the Eight Wastelands, so there are not many forces that actually set foot in the Ancient Wasteland.
"Although there are not many forces entering the Ancient Wilderness, the Ancient Wilderness itself is weak. Now that the Kyushu forces have entered it, they have also received a big impact.
Over the past hundred years, many local forces in the ancient wilderness have been destroyed or directly annexed by other Kyushu forces.
Only the top forces in the ancient wilderness can barely maintain stability, but even so, the situation is not optimistic.
Many of them have their eyes on Hongshan City and are making secret moves, and their subordinates are also in a state of panic. However, now that the city lord is out of seclusion, he should be able to suppress everything and stabilize the situation in our Hongshan City!"
At the end of the conversation, Duan Jing was obviously relieved. In his opinion, the timing of Shen Changqing's exit was just right.
