War broke out in the Ming Dynasty, and the Ye family of the royal family seemed to be at the end of its rope. After all, six innate masters were directly killed by one person, and morale was extremely low.
Naturally, it was Liang Sheng who took action to kill the Ye family's Xiantian Kingdom. He was now looking at Daming in a state of chaos, but he did not have too much emotion.
He is just playing a big game now, all for the sake of cultivating immortality, and the first step of his plan is to let the Ye family decline.
Under this situation, he sat firmly on Diaoyutai behind the scenes, preparing to choose the most suitable candidate among the crowd of heroes.
This person can be ambitious, but he must have a bottom line and be completely controlled by himself. This is Liang Sheng's most basic requirement.
Liang Sheng was like a chess player at this time, quietly watching the mess in Ming Dynasty, waiting for the final candidate to appear.
one year later.
The southern territory of the Ming Dynasty was completely lost. Even though Ye Chen was brilliant and resourceful, due to the complete collapse of morale, the south completely lost control in just one year.
It's just that there are still three groups rebelling against the king in the south, and they are not all of one mind. Ye Chen has also thought about conquering the army himself, but Kyoto is surrounded by wolves. After weighing the final considerations, he can only give up this idea.
The fundamentals of Kyoto cannot be disrupted. As long as Kyoto is still under his control, he still has a glimmer of hope. And the dignitaries and officials in Kyoto are firmly tied to him at the moment and cannot disappear from his sight.
Ye Chen is an innate master, so he can suppress all the gangsters in Kyoto. The powerful people originally thought that the mysterious old man would personally kill Ye Chen, but a year later, the man just appeared and disappeared.
Suddenly without any warning.
Some of them couldn't understand what was going on, but Liang Sheng was sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai. At this moment, he was just raising worms.
After all, if you can't even escape from Kyoto, how can you be called a virtuous person, let alone want to be the common leader of the world?
However, although Liang Sheng did not take action and just watched the situation in the world, his existence was a sword hanging over the Ye family's head, and Ye Chen was also worried about when this sword would be cut down.
During this time, Liang Sheng went south and had secretly seen the three rebels in the south, but he was not very satisfied with this.
Although the three anti-kings in the south have ambitions, they have no bottom line in doing things. Moreover, under the expansion of power, they do not know how to advance or retreat, and they are so happy to achieve success.
These three anti-kings are not qualified candidates in Liang Sheng's heart at all. The people he chooses must know how to advance and retreat. Only such people can become the common masters of the world, and he can better control behind the scenes.
People must have a sense of awe!
As for the performance of the noble families in Kyoto, Liang Sheng was also very dissatisfied. These people had long been corrupted by power, and all of them were only capable of conspiracy. However, when the critical moment came, they lacked the decisiveness to act as king.
How can they be so indecisive? If they are allowed to expand their territory in the future, I am afraid they will be held back.
Liang Sheng couldn't help but feel a little distressed at this moment. On the contrary, Emperor Zhaowu Ye Chen's performance was better than all the candidates Liang Sheng had seen. It was a pity that Ye Chen had to die and the Ye family had to die.
They know about the world of cultivating immortals, and this alone conflicts with Liang Sheng's plan. If they don't die, how can Liang Sheng feel at ease?
In Liang Sheng's mind, the future leader of the world could lead his army across the continent and expand territory, but he could not know about cultivating immortals.
Moreover, at that time, part of the royal bloodline must be provided to him. Without being involved with the royal family, they would not know that they were of royal bloodline. Only then could they become the best intermediary for Liang Sheng's transactions with the world of immortality.
Just when Liang Sheng was worried that he had not found a suitable candidate, conspiracies continued in Kyoto, and the actions of a wealthy family were exposed, which made Ye Chen furious, and he was immediately imprisoned in the sky prison and executed at a later date.
But this time, Liang Sheng's eyes lit up, and he made an unexpected discovery. The descendants of the old demon from the Blood Prison of the Zhou family in the Heavenly Prison came into his sight.
The descendants of the Zhou family know that there is a bottom line for advancement and retreat, and they still have a courageous heart in times of crisis. The Zhou family can be passed down to this day and control the position of Tianlao, and they have their own way of doing things.
After careful observation, and even checking the official case files, he finally concluded that the Zhou family bloodline had a magical ability to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune.
In this case, and because the ancestors of the Zhou family have been collecting countless techniques for generations, there are countless masters in the family. Although they are not in the innate realm, they are still powerful, but no one knows about them.
So under Liang Sheng's careful observation and comparison with all candidates, Liang Sheng finally made up his mind.
In this case, it is better to support the Zhou family as the common master of the world. As long as you are always stronger than them, they will not have the slightest objection.
…
Heavenly prison.
Zhou Xing was humming a ditty at the moment and after patrolling the prison, he was ready to go home. As for what happened to the world, he didn't care at all.
The old man has already sent part of his blood out of Kyoto through his network of relationships over the years. This is actually just a precaution. No matter who is in charge of the world, the Zhou family should be as stable as Mount Tai.
Zhou Xing is now a small jailer in Tianlao. He usually keeps a very low profile, but who would have known that he is only 40 years old and is already a master of the acquired ninth level.
When he got home, he washed up and went to the study to greet the old man. After all, the prison was full of gloom, so it was better to wash it off.
But as soon as he entered the study room, and before he had said a few words to his father Zhou Ping, father and son suddenly felt uneasy and uneasy.
Zhou Xing couldn't help but glance at the old man and found that he was also frightened. The next moment, a white-haired old man appeared in front of them.
"The bloodline of the Old Demon Family of Blood Prison is really magical. I didn't expect that you are already half innate. It seems that the whole world has underestimated you."
As soon as these words came out, Zhou Xing and his son were greatly shocked. Was this his father's (grandfather's) enemy during his lifetime? But why were there no signs of murder at this time?
Liang Sheng didn't care what happened to the father and son at this time. He walked up to Zhou Ping in one quick step and before the other party could react, he put his fleshy palm on Zhou Ping's back.
Zhou Xing was just about to take action when Liang Sheng suddenly looked at him and he realized that he couldn't move at all. For this reason, he could only pray in his heart and choose to believe in the ability of his own bloodline, because until now they have never felt a life or death crisis.
.
Zhou Ping couldn't help but be startled when Liang Sheng put his palm on his back. Before he could understand what was going on, a majestic energy poured into his body. With his half-step innate strength, he could not even block it for a moment.
Neither can be done.
Then this rapid force surged along with the meridians, and he had to move around, and then he felt his body suddenly swelled, but this was actually just his illusion, it was just a sudden surge in power within his body.
At this time, he quickly calmed down and then moved Zhou Tian with all his strength, not caring about Liang Sheng. At this time, Liang Sheng took back his palm and ignored Zhou Ping. He looked at Zhou Xing with a smile on his face and was extremely satisfied.
Zhou Xing, a 40-year-old ninth-level acquired martial artist, is so terrifying. It seems that the descendants of the old devil from Blood Prison are becoming stronger and stronger with each generation.
Zhou Xing had a grimace on his face at this time and did not dare to move, but he was relieved in his heart. It seemed that the other party was not his enemy.
It's just that he couldn't guess who the other party was, and his grandfather had never told anyone about having any dealings with such a person.
Liang Sheng looked at Zhou Xing's thinking expression and couldn't help but smile, "Stop guessing. You will know everything later. Sit here and wait."
When Zhou Xing heard this, he stayed aside quietly and obediently. Seeing this, Liang Sheng couldn't help but nod silently. This character was worthy of being the one he chose, and he couldn't help but feel more and more satisfied.
At this moment, a majestic aura suddenly erupted from Zhou Ping. Liang Sheng just moved his mind, and then took action in an instant to eliminate all the aura.
At this moment, Zhou Ping wanted to look up to the sky and scream. After all, how could he not be happy when he unexpectedly got a congenital gift today? But before he could react, he saw a pair of cold eyes looking at him, making him instantly swallow up the pride in his heart.
In my belly, I didn’t dare to be presumptuous anymore.
Then Zhou Ping did not hesitate, walked directly to Liang Sheng and knelt down, "Zhou Ping, thank you, senior, for your help."
Zhou Xing, who was already very discerning, hurriedly followed and knelt aside, but his heart was already turned upside down.
Although Liang Sheng eliminated the aura quickly just now, he still immediately felt the difference between his father and before in the same room.
Innate Grandmaster.
His father actually became an innate master, and this was just because of something the mysterious old man in front of him did casually. How could this not shock him?
Liang Sheng saw all this, but this was his plan. If he didn't scare the Zhou family and his son, how could he make them follow him wholeheartedly?
Liang Sheng had also taken one of the barrier-breaking pills he had stolen from Ye Chen before. Although it was of no use to him, he also knew that with the special power in the pill, there was a chance that he would be able to break through the innate ninth level.
At first, Liang Sheng didn't understand what this strange power was. After Liang Sheng practiced Qi for the first level, he understood what it was.
Spiritual power!
Therefore, the effect of the barrier-breaking pill is just like the spiritual power in Liang Sheng's body, using the power of a cultivator to help martial arts breakthroughs. It is not surprising that it has this effect.
The spiritual power that Liang Sheng injected into Zhou Ping's body today was much stronger than the barrier-breaking pill. Now that he saw that his goal was achieved, he stopped beating around the bush.
"Do you, the Zhou family, want to be the co-rulers of the world?"
Zhou Ping and his son were stunned when they heard this. Just now they were immersed in the joy of breaking through the innate world, but now they were frightened.
The common master of the world?
At this moment, they immediately thought of all the legends over the past year. After all, the six great innate masters of the Ming Dynasty died at the hands of a mysterious old man. How could people not yearn for such masters?
The mysterious strong man was rumored to be the white-haired old man and the others. Looking at the old man in front of him, he thought about how he had broken through the innateness just now. Now the other party asked the Zhou family if they wanted to be the co-lords of the world. How could Zhou Ping not guess who the other party was?
Zhou Xing is naturally not a fool. He also reacted immediately. While excited, he was also a little confused. Why would the other party choose him to be the leader of the world?
You must know that the three major rebel kings in the south have occupied the south, half of the Ming Dynasty has fallen into their hands, and I am just a jailer in the sky.
Even if you don’t consider the rebellion against the king in the south, among the noble families in Kyoto, which one does not have strong capital, why did the other party choose the unknown one?
Then they remembered what the other party said when he came in. Is the old demon from Blood Prison a friend of his grandfather (father)?
Seeing their excited expressions at this moment, Liang Sheng nodded slightly, which was almost as expected. He really needed an identity so that the Zhou family and his son would not doubt why he noticed them.
"I wonder if the old devil of the Blood Prison said that when King Ping An rebelled, he met a person and took away a baby from the prison?"
"It turns out to be you, senior!"
At this time, Zhou Ping couldn't help but exclaimed softly, while Zhou Xing looked confused. Zhou Ping quickly said at this time: "It turns out that the senior was the person who rescued the Zheng family's bloodline."
Zhou Xing was still confused at this time, but now was not the time to ask questions, so he could only keep silent, while Liang Sheng nodded slightly.
"I said at that time that there would be generous rewards in the future, but the old devil from Blood Prison only thought that what I said was just a joke, so I didn't tell you.
But I want to tell you now, the virtuous in this world will get it, and you are the common masters of the world in my opinion."
"Why do seniors value my Zhou family so much?"
"It's very simple. I wonder which family can pass it down from generation to generation like your Zhou family. The so-called thousand-year-old family is not as good as yours. Besides, your bloodline has the talent of seeking good fortune and avoiding evil. It can be said that you are deeply blessed.
The most important thing is that you can uphold your original intention, otherwise all your talents will be useless due to greed, and this original intention has also made your Zhou family stronger and stronger from generation to generation, and has been passed down to this day.
In my opinion, those with such a mind are the virtuous people in the world. If you become the common masters of the world, the world will be truly peaceful."
When Zhou Xing and his son heard this, they couldn't help but breathe a little faster. It seemed that their blood was boiling with Liang Sheng's words, but Liang Sheng knew that they were just pretending.
It is impossible to say that they are not excited at all, but it seems a bit artificial and does not suit their temperament, but Liang Sheng is not willing to expose it at this time.
After all, these are just trivial matters. If you can be safe by being pretentious in front of yourself, why not do it? I am afraid that the people of the Zhou family have already engraved these skills in their bones.
Having a bottom line, being aware of current affairs, keeping a low profile and not having unnecessary greed, this is simply the best person to control his plan.
"Senior, we are honored to be favored by you, but my Zhou family are just ordinary people. What ability do we have to chase after you in this world?"
"You don't have to worry about this. I will handle the details myself. You just have to keep the world in your pocket.
I also know the temperament of your Zhou family and will not put all your chips in one basket. I will protect the bloodline you arranged in the suburbs of Beijing so that you can fight for the world without any worries."
As soon as these words came out, Zhou Ping and his son could not help but take a breath, and then they did not shirk anymore. After all, the Zhou family thought that what they did was extremely secretive, but at this moment, there was no secret in front of Liang Sheng.
This was actually an exchange and a threat from Liang Sheng. Coupled with their bloodline's ability to seek good fortune and avoid evil, they had no choice but to agree.
If you agree to the other party, it is a good omen; if you refuse the other party, it is a bad omen!
In this case, there is no other choice.
"Trust me, you won't regret it."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Xing was instantly sucked into Liang Sheng's hand by a suction force, and then a majestic force entered his body.
Zhou Xing finally understood what had just happened to his father, and the next moment he was sitting cross-legged on the ground, spinning the sky.
At this time, Liang Sheng stopped and looked at Zhou Ping and said: "During this period, as usual, you are waiting for my notification. When the time comes, you will know that you must be the final candidate for the common leader of the world."
After saying that, Liang Sheng took one step and disappeared outside the study door. Zhou Ping had already reached the innate realm and did not notice how the other party disappeared.
Zhou Ping stood at the door of the room, blowing the cold wind, always feeling like he was dreaming.
The common master of the world?
In a daze, even as cautious as he was, he couldn't help but think obsessively. The other party definitely had some purpose, but he couldn't figure it out. After all, the other party just let him enter the innate world casually.
Until he was awakened by a breath, then turned around and saw Zhou Xing had stood up. His face was once again full of disbelief.
