Time flies like water. It has been a year and a half since Gu Chen left Kyushu and went to the land outside the world.
In the past year and a half, apart from the initial huge sensation caused by Zhou Yuan, the master of Diancang Tower, who wanted to capture people all over the world in order to bring the nine heavenly beings to the lower realm, the rest of the time, the entire Kyushu was extremely peaceful.
In fact, I don't know if it was because Gu Chen went to the space passage, but the number of demons and ghosts in the Kyushu world has decreased.
The people live and work in peace and contentment, the world is peaceful and prosperous, everything is developing in a good direction, and everyone's face is filled with a big smile.
At the same time, during this period, the various new policies promoted by Emperor Ji Yuan also received effective feedback and were unanimously recognized by civil and military officials and even the people of the world.
It is precisely because of this that the status of Ji Yuan, the Human Emperor, in the eyes of the people has skyrocketed.
In the past, when Kyushu was in chaos and war broke out, Ji Yuan had no chance to show off his talents. After all, martial arts was not what he was good at. This was a talent that could not be changed by anyone.
Therefore, before this, the people of Kyushu did not actually have any recognition of him as the emperor, and it was only limited to the level of knowledge.
But things are different now. Before leaving, Gu Chen solved all the troubles in Kyushu and helped Ji Yuan unify the world. In this way, the Human Emperor of Daxia had the opportunity to display his talent in this area.
In fact, from this year and a half, it can be seen that Ji Yuan is indeed very talented in governing the world. He is a rare wise king who loves his people like a son.
All civil and military officials, princes, princes and ministers have all surrendered to Ji Yuan and recognized him as a good emperor, and the structure of the court has been unified.
However, party struggles still exist. After all, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes and interests, but everything is developing in a good direction, so sometimes Ji Yuan turns a blind eye, as long as it does not harm Daxia and the
The people just let them do whatever they want.
On this day, in the imperial study room of Tiandu Palace.
At this moment, Ji Yuan was wearing a dragon robe, with a majestic face and full imperial look, and was reviewing and approving the memorial.
Suddenly, Eunuch Huang walked in, came to the Human Emperor Ji Yuan, and whispered in his ear: "Your Majesty, Commander Qin is here."
"Let him in."
Upon hearing Qin Wu's arrival, Ji Yuan no longer bent over the table to deal with the memorial, but raised his head and asked all the guards and maids surrounding him to retreat, leaving only Eunuch Huang.
"I, Qin Wu, pay homage to Your Majesty." Qin Wu, dressed in black robes, walked into the imperial study and first saluted Ji Yuan with his fists clasped.
"Commander Qin is exempt from the courtesy." Ji Yuan nodded slightly and said: "But there is already news about what I asked you to investigate?"
"That's right." Qin Wu nodded, with a solemn expression, and said in a deep voice: "This is exactly why I came here today."
A year and a half ago, disappearance cases suddenly occurred one after another all over the world. In less than half a month, tens of millions of people disappeared, which caused great panic at the time.
Even the two gods Wei Cang and Luo Xun went to investigate, but they didn't find any clues.
Although the incident later calmed down and did not happen again for a long time, Daxia secretly never gave up the investigation.
After hearing the news about this matter, both Ji Yuan and Eunuch Huang couldn't help but become solemn in their expressions.
"Tell me, who did this?" Ji Yuan clenched his fists unconsciously.
Hearing this, Qin Wu clasped his fists and replied: "Your Majesty, after Jingtiansi cooperated with Hongchenlou, for a year and a half, we tried all kinds of methods, and finally got some clues not long ago, and all of them pointed to one person.
, it’s the owner of Dian Cang Tower—Zhou Yuan!”
"Zhou Yuan?" Hearing this name, Ji Yuan couldn't help but frown.
"Zhou Yuan, the current owner of Diancang Tower, is known as the King of Thousand Hands by people in the world. He has been in seclusion all year round and has handed over everything to several deputy owners." Qin Wu introduced Ji Yuan and told some stories about Zhou Yuan.
intelligence.
"As the owner of Diancang Tower, why would he do such a thing?" Ji Yuan asked in confusion.
"I don't know this, and I'm still investigating." Qin Wu shook his head.
Ji Yuan looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "I have a hunch that this matter must have been planned in advance. He cannot do it alone. After all, there are tens of millions of human beings."
At this moment, Ji Yuan even had the idea to send Wei Cang and Luo Xun directly to Diancang Tower to capture Zhou Yuan, interrogate him, and learn the truth from his mouth.
…
On the other side, the inner city of Tiandu, Prince Wu's Mansion.
At this moment, Gu Chengfeng's family of three were eating together, and the atmosphere at the dinner table was somewhat silent.
After such a long time, there was still no news from Gu Chen, so Gu Chengfeng and the others couldn't help but worry.
In other words, every day since Gu Chen left, they have been worried, hoping that Gu Chen will appear in front of them soon.
And this wait is a full year and a half.
"Master, he hasn't come back yet, should we go and ask?" At this time, Aunt Xu Qing'e said. There had been no news for a year and a half, which made her very worried and she couldn't sit still.
"Ask? Who can I ask?" Gu Chengfeng looked solemn and a little absent-minded.
"Your Majesty, the prison master and the others should know some information, right?" Xu Qing'e frowned.
Gu Chengfeng shook his head and said: "I already inquired not long ago. No one knows Dalang's current situation. The only thing we can do is to wait."
"I believe that nothing will happen to Dalang. No matter where he is, he will come back one day." At this point, Gu Chengfeng's eyes were firm. He was sure that nothing would happen to Gu Chen.
"But...but what if Dalang..." Xu Qing'e couldn't let go after all, and stopped talking.
"There are no buts and no contingencies. All we can do now is believe. Moreover, no news can be spread about Dalang's absence in Kyushu. Dalang made this very clear before he left.
That's it." Gu Chengfeng warned Xu Qing'e that it is better not to mention this matter unless necessary.
"I also believe that nothing will happen to my eldest brother!" At this time, Gu Qingyan, who had been lowering her head, suddenly spoke. In her mind, a picture emerged. It was someone who said to her not long ago.
Some of the words he said made her very concerned.
"Qingyan, what's wrong with you recently? Why do you always look so distracted?" Seeing her daughter speak, Xu Qing'e also looked over, a little worried, feeling that Gu Qingyan was acting strange recently.
At this point, Gu Qingyan's pretty face suddenly became serious. She looked at Gu Chengfeng and Xu Qing'e and said, "Mom, Dad, I have made a decision."
…
The first restricted area in Kyushu, deep in the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
In a dense primitive jungle, there are several figures sitting cross-legged here, with a layer of glow flowing on the surface of their bodies, as dazzling as the morning glow, showing their extraordinaryness.
It was exactly a year and a half ago that some of the nine heavenly beings who came from the lower world sat here cross-legged to heal their injuries.
Because of the special environment in the world of Kyushu, even if they brought some elixirs from the upper world, they could not completely heal their injuries and return to their peak condition after such a long time.
Moreover, most of the elixirs were also destroyed in the lower realm, which was also a huge factor hindering their recovery of strength.
"Finally you can't hold it anymore?" At this time, a figure with a qi as hot as a flame opened his eyes and looked into the distance, sensing something.
This person is Langtian from Fentian Valley.
Hearing this, the whole body was filled with the light of the sun. Qi Jin, who came from Chunyang Wuzong, said: "It doesn't matter, let him go out and lead the battle. It just helps me to test Daxia or Gu Chen's strength."
.”
As soon as these words came out, the other people nodded one after another. Although they were very confident in their own strength, this was not the upper realm after all, but in Kyushu. They were suppressed by heaven and earth and could not display their strength.
And Gu Chen has a record of killing evil spirits. Although they can definitely suppress Gu Chen together, what if there is damage?
No one hopes that the person who sacrifices is themselves.
At the same time, on the other side, a burly man with a fierce appearance rushed out from the Shiwanda Mountain, his eyes were ferocious, and he was flying towards the Tiandu of China.
"If this continues, I don't know how long it will take to regain my strength. I can't wait any longer!" At this thought, a fierce light burst out in the eyes of the burly man.
In his opinion, Kyushu is just a group of ants, and he does not agree with the caution of Langtian and others.
"One and a half years have passed. With my current strength, I am enough to defeat that Gu Chen. Hey, I haven't tasted the taste of genius for a long time!" The burly man smiled ferociously, very confident in his own strength.
After all, he is in the Heavenly Realm and is extremely fast. The Shiwanda Mountain is located in Yanzhou, which is quite a distance from China, but it only took him a few hours to reach his destination.
"Tiandu? The population is quite large, but I don't know what it is like for the creatures in the lower world." The burly man stood in the clouds, high up, as if he were looking down at the gods of Kyushu, with a bloodthirsty light flashing in his eyes.
"It's a pity that most of these creatures are ordinary people with no cultivation." The burly man smashed his mouth, and his nature was unleashed. Although he joined the Five Elements Sect, it did not mean that he could restrain these instincts in his bones.
Lose.
"Forget it, keeping them is of great use. First, take control of the emperor of this human dynasty and make him obey my orders."
As soon as he thought about this, the burly man just flashed his figure and appeared in the imperial study room of the palace.
At this moment, Ji Yuan was still dealing with government affairs. Eunuch Huang looked at the burly man who suddenly appeared and suddenly let out an exclamation.
"Protect Your Majesty, protect Your Majesty!" His reaction was quick. The moment he discovered the person coming, he subconsciously called out to greet the imperial troops outside.
The burly man just stood there, looking at Ji Yuan and Eunuch Huang with a mocking expression.
When the imperial guards outside heard the sound, they rushed in and surrounded Ji Yuan with a wary look on their faces, pointing their weapons at the burly man.
"Who are you?" Ji Yuan looked at the person coming and asked in a deep voice.
"But a group of ants actually dare to point weapons at me?" The burly man sneered, and he didn't see any movement. The bodies of the forbidden soldiers suddenly exploded, blood and internal organs spurted out, and a lot of blood even splashed on Ji Yuan.
On top of the dragon robe.
Seeing this scene, not only Ji Yuan was stunned, but also Eunuch Huang. The next moment, the latter screamed loudly, the thick blood dyed his whole body red, and the pungent smell of blood rushed straight to his forehead.
Tianling cover.
Dozens of imperial guards could not even utter a scream, but they died like this!
This scene was so horrifying and bloody that even Ji Yuan was shocked for the first time and stood there blankly.
And this is exactly what the burly man wants.
"Kneel down and surrender to me, and I will spare your life. Remember, this is not for you to choose, but only in this way can you have a way to survive!" The burly man laughed, and the smile was arrogant and wanton. Obviously,
The killing he had just caused made him extremely excited.
