The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. War has always been very cruel. That dark history makes people feel sad.
Bai Xuanyu's eyes were red and bloodshot, and he said: "Back then, when Shengming City was breached, Lingxiaotian Palace stayed behind and massacred many monks who were loyal to the empire. The ancestors of our Bai family died in that massacre.
middle."
Bai Xuanshuang comforted her sister and said: "Actually, we are very lucky to have received the rescue of the Twelve Masters, embarked on the path of cultivation, and regained the power to avenge the enemy. Instead of becoming a slave and having to live a humble life.
life."
Zhang Ruochen's heart moved, so he asked them about something about "Master Twelve".
According to what Bai Xuanshuang and Bai Xuanyu said, Twelve Masters, together with some descendants of the royal family and monks from the loyal Ming Central Empire, rescued many persecuted orphans from the previous dynasty.
For eight hundred years, they have been hiding in secret, fighting with the imperial court, not only seeking revenge, but also waiting for the return of Emperor Ming.
They firmly believed that Emperor Ming was not dead.
In addition to the Twelve Masters, there is another relatively large force. They take orders from Emperor Ming's sister, the eldest princess of the previous dynasty.
However, the eldest princess believes that the Shengming Central Empire is gone, and the power of the First Central Empire is too huge. Continuing to fight against them is tantamount to striking an egg against a stone, and more people will die tragically.
Therefore, she led another group of people to leave the Kunlun realm and hid in a certain ruin realm outside the realm to recuperate.
Generally speaking, the forces that obey the Twelve Masters are radicals.
He is a conservative who obeys the forces of the eldest princess.
Master Twelve wants to use the power in his hands to save more orphans from the previous dynasty, so that everyone can live with more dignity, instead of being reduced to war slaves, servants, and prostitutes.
The eldest princess obviously wants to be more sensible and doesn't want more people to die.
Just like Zhang Fengxing and Zhang Shu, how miserable were their fates?
If their ancestors had left together with the eldest princess, perhaps such a tragedy would not have happened.
Which one is right? Which one is wrong?
In fact, both of them did nothing wrong, but their ideas were different.
Zhang Ruochen asked: "So, where is Mingtang?"
Bai Xuanshuang's eyes showed a cold light of hatred, and said: "Mingtang is a group of usurpers. At the beginning, Emperor Ming disappeared, the prince was assassinated, and the entire Shengming Central Empire fell into chaos."
"Originally, everyone wanted to elect the Twelve Masters to serve as regents and wait for the return of Emperor Ming. However, the owner of Peacock Villa, Kong Shanling, thought that he was the strongest person under Emperor Ming and the most qualified to become the central empire of Shengming.
Lord."
"So Kong Shangguan united a group of courtiers and took over the government with thunderous means, thus taking over the palace of Emperor Ming."
"At that time, Emperor Qing and Chi Yao used this as an excuse to lead the army of Chi Qing's Central Empire to attack Kong Shangguan, thereby engulfing the Shengming Central Empire and bringing nearly a hundred years of war and disaster to the Kunlun realm."
"Three hundred years ago, after Kong Shanggong died of old age, the relationship between Mingtang and us eased a bit. We often cooperated with each other to fight against the suppression of the imperial court."
Bai Xuanshuang and Bai Xuanyu told Zhang Ruochen a lot of things, which made him feel both angry and confused.
The collapse of an empire involves too many disputes that cannot be explained in just one or two sentences. There are also too many stories and too many hidden secrets that even those involved may not know.
Bai Xuanshuang and Bai Xuanyu have not personally experienced that period of history. What they know is what others have told them, which seems to be quite objective.
Standing at different angles, everyone has different opinions.
Even what Murong Yue told them was slightly different from the two of them.
Bai Xuanshuang and Bai Xuanyu took Zhang Ruochen up the stairs and arrived at the palace where Qin Yutong lived.
Bai Xuanyu fetched a pot of hot tea and filled a cup for Zhang Ruochen.
"I have sent a message to senior sister and told her the news of your release. She should be here soon," Bai Xuanyu said.
Zhang Ruochen took out a jar of divine blood and gave each of them a hundred drops.
Such a large amount of divine blood frightened both Bai Xuanshuang and Bai Xuanyu. They wanted to refuse it but did not dare to accept it.
Zhang Ruochen said: "You two were able to cultivate to the fourth level of semi-sainthood before you were a hundred years old. This shows that your talents must be extremely high. However, your physique is much worse, and there is no chance of becoming a saint."
"If you each refine a hundred drops of divine blood, not only will your own cultivation level improve by leaps and bounds, but your physical body will also be greatly enhanced. In the future, there may be a glimmer of hope to become a saint immediately."
Because of their desire for sainthood, Bai Xuanyu and Bai Xuanshuang finally accepted the divine blood.
They saluted Zhang Ruochen at the same time and said, "Thank you, sir."?
Bai Xuanshuang's eyes rolled around and she whispered: "Sir, you must not tell senior sister about this, otherwise, she will definitely reprimand us."
Zhang Ruochen smiled and said: "You must not tell anyone, otherwise, it is very likely to cause death for me."?
"No, no, we definitely won't."
Bai Xuanshuang and Bai Xuanyu said repeatedly, and then they hurriedly retreated, preparing to hide the two small jars of divine blood.
Bai Xuanshuang and Bai Xuanyu are both hard-luck people. Because of the fall of the Shengming Central Empire, their ancestors suffered a lot.
By giving them two small jars of divine blood, Zhang Ruochen could be regarded as some compensation to the Bai family.
Of course, Zhang Ruochen would not give away divine blood to just anyone.
He saw that Bai Xuanshuang and Bai Xuanyu didn't have much scheming, and they didn't seem to be greedy people, so he sent the divine blood.
As a scheming person, Zhang Ruochen would not dare to give away anything too valuable easily.
Qin Yutong hurried back, still wearing a veil and a light blue dress. There was a red ring hanging on her waist. She had an antique charm.
She sat down opposite Zhang Ruochen very elegantly, took out two white animal skin scrolls, handed them to Zhang Ruochen, and said: "Do you want to take a look at the latest issue of "Half Saint List" and "Half Saint Foreign List"?"
"Yeah?"
Zhang Ruochen picked up the "Half Saint List" and "Half Saint Wai List" respectively and read them quickly.
His name is not on both lists.
Although, Zhang Ruochen killed the two saints of the Demon Sect, and for a moment, the limelight overshadowed the nine realms.
However, the talented lady of the holy book knew Zhang Ruochen's true strength and did not rank him in the second list.
Both Da Sikong and Er Sikong were on the "Half Saint Wai Ranking", ranking 472nd and 473rd.
The two of them had a duel with Kong Hongbi and became famous in one battle.
In that battle, the fighting time was too short, and neither side used their full strength, so it was not easy to judge the true strength of Da Sikong and Er Sikong.
Therefore, their rankings are relatively low.
In addition to the two of them, there was another person whose ranking was quite eye-catching, which surprised Zhang Ruochen.
This person is A Le.
Ah Le was only ranked at the bottom of the "Half Saint Foreign Ranking" and barely squeezed in, but Zhang Ruochen was still very surprised.
He did not get as rich cultivation resources as the Nine Realms, but his cultivation speed was not much slower than that of the Nine Realms. It was simply unbelievable.
"When I passed the "Nine Revolutions of Life and Death" to him, it was the right person. I don't know, he will be the first person to practice the "Nine Revolutions of Life and Death" to the ninth level." Zhang Ruochen smiled slightly.
The cultivation method of "Nine Revolutions of Life and Death" is completely different from the orthodox cultivation method. It is a deviant cultivation method, and you are always on the edge of life and death.
The more dangerous the situation, the closer to death, the faster the cultivation level will improve.
Every time you die, your cultivation level will increase greatly.
Of course, sometimes, once you die, you really die and will never come back to life.
It is precisely because of the special nature of the technique that A Le's cultivation speed is far beyond the reach of ordinary people, even Jie Zi.
After reading the two lists, Zhang Ruochen handed them back and put them on the desk.
Qin Yutong looked very serious and said: "Besides this, another big thing happened."?
"What's the big deal?" Zhang Ruochen asked.
Qin Yutong said: "It is rumored that the aura of heaven and earth in the Central Imperial City has dropped sharply. Some people speculate that the Queen's true body has left the Central Imperial City."
After hearing this news, even Zhang Ruochen's expression became extremely solemn.
There is a saying that if the mountain is not high, the immortal will be famous; if the water is not deep, the dragon will be spiritual.
It is precisely because the Queen's true body is in charge of the Central Imperial City that all the auras of heaven and earth from the entire Kunlun Realm have gathered there.
The Central Imperial City became the Kunlun Realm, the place with the densest aura of heaven and earth. Monks from all over the world also gathered in the Central Imperial City.
The Queen's true form has not left the Central Imperial City for many years.
"Where will she go after she leaves the Central Imperial City?" Zhang Ruochen frowned.
Qin Yutong said: "Many people are speculating that the Queen's true identity leaving the Central Imperial City may be related to the recent wars in Kunlun Realm."
"It is said that because of this incident, all the blood emperors of the Immortal Vampire Clan in the Northern Territory fled the Kunlun Realm and hid overseas."
"In the Eastern Region, all the ghost kings who escaped from the underworld hibernated and disappeared. I don't know where they are hiding."?
"The Death Zen Sect in the Southern Territory has also become more peaceful. All the top experts disappeared overnight. They must have been avoiding the Queen's attack."
Zhang Ruochen smiled slightly and said: "If your cultivation reaches her level, the whole world will be shaken if the real body moves. I am afraid that the beast kings in the wild secret realm will also be scared."
Qin Yutong added: "Of course, there is another theory. Some people speculate that the queen's true identity is actually hidden and she is hiding from heaven. Because there is no news of her appearance in the North, East, and South regions.
Rumor has it that the Queen’s whereabouts have become a mystery.”
Zhang Ruochen's eyes kept changing and he said: "At least, before this mystery is solved, the Death Zen Sect, the Immortal Vampire Clan, and the giants of the Holy Realm of the Undead in the Underworld all dare not act rashly and can only hide in hiding. This is a big problem for the human race.
Good thing."
Qin Yutong nodded, agreeing with Zhang Ruochen's point of view.
After pondering for a moment, Zhang Ruochen asked again: "Have you helped me check the whereabouts of the other eight commanders of the Canglong Army?"
