Seeing that Kunlun and the people from the Wenxian Sect were looking at him with hopeful eyes, Han Yuncheng's face became silent for a while, then he turned to his Supreme, who didn't look very good either.
"The Jade Emperor's foundation has been exhausted."
Penglai Supreme said it in an understatement. Lu Leiyuan and Wenxian Sect Jingshi Sect were heartbroken and did not ask any more questions, because they already knew that there might be big problems inside Penglai, and the Jade Emperor's affairs were covered up very well.
They all hid it.
"If the Immortal Alliance doesn't come, Penglai now has only three options left. First, defend the mountain, and both jade and stone will be destroyed. Our Penglai mountain gate has ninth-level spiritual veins and a ninth-level mountain-protecting formation. Even three or five supreme beings cannot easily break it.
, if the demon clan wants to break through the formation, it must pay a heavy price.
The second option is to run. The mountain gate will not be captured for a while. There are teleportation arrays leading to various places in the mountain gate. We have time to run, but once we run away, Penglai City will be in danger. Penglai City cannot be moved.
Yes, there are too many monks living here. Once Penglai City is destroyed, we will be injured.
The third option is to lie. Doesn’t the Monster Clan want the Book of Heaven? Give it to him, but not really. Give him a fake one, like the Elephant King or the Dragon King. If the Monster Clan is not able to distinguish the true from the false, I’m afraid.”
Han Yuncheng immediately said, changing the topic from the Jade Emperor. That topic could no longer be discussed, and his three choices were the only three paths Penglai could take at the moment.
Han Yuncheng can let most of the Penglai monks live and die with the sect, but it is not necessarily the case with the Immortal Sect and Kunlun. The three sects have the best relationship, and they may not be willing to do so.
If you escape, the loss will be too great. Penglai City is a huge city that Penglai spent hundreds of thousands of years building. There are millions of monks living here. It can bring a huge amount of resources to Penglai every year. It is the most important city in Penglai.
Financial resources, once Penglai City is destroyed, it will be very, very difficult for Penglai to build a new Penglai City. It can be said to be impossible. Penglai will decline, and even decline to the point where it is not even as good as a first-class power.
Therefore, the most important thing in Han Yuncheng's heart is the third option, lie. The Book of Heaven comes from the upper world. It is an object that carries the laws of heaven and earth. It does not necessarily refer to a book. For hundreds of thousands of years, countless Penglai monks have used it to understand the laws of heaven.
Therefore, their monks also imprinted the laws they understood in an attempt to create a heavenly book themselves.
Kunlun and others have done this kind of thing, so these things are all fake heavenly books, which contain the laws of heaven and earth, but they cannot be compared with the real heavenly books. The value is too different. People who don’t know the inside story cannot tell the difference, unless they have it.
The Dragon King and Elephant King of the Heavenly Book appeared, but this was impossible.
"What if the demon clan sees through the truth?"
"Then we will fight to the death. You two, I will entrust the fifty thousand disciples of Penglai Mountain Sect to you first. We have no shame in living in this world, and we can only live and die with the sect."
Han Yuncheng replied, there are fifty thousand new disciples of Penglai in the mountain gate. They were recruited from the period of the Central Continent Civil War. The longest period of practice is only about ten years. They have just entered the Zifu period. These disciples all have some qualifications.
Excellent, their future is far beyond the current level. Even if the battle on the front line is fierce, Han Yuncheng will not use them as cannon fodder. This is Penglai's hope for the future.
"These are all small things. Hey, I didn't expect that the situation would turn out like this."
"The situation is like this, what can be done about it"
Han Yuncheng shook his head. They were all helpless. In fact, they were also somewhat dissatisfied with Kunlun. In this era, Penglai and Wenxian Sect fully supported Kunlun, but there seemed to be no figures in Kunlun who could turn the tide. There was no Qing Emperor, Hao Emperor, or Jade Emperor.
Such an outstanding person actually allowed Lin Xiao to take the limelight. This was Kunlun's incompetence, but he couldn't say such things at this time.
Han Yuncheng personally went to the sect's treasure house and took out a jade slip. The jade slip was exuding light gold and was made of extremely high-grade jade. Many generations of Penglai supremes had left the imprint of the laws of heaven on it. From the appearance, it was similar to Penglai.
The heavenly books in my hands are exactly the same.
"Fellow Daoist Han, why don't you come with me?"
"No need, Penglai's skills are inferior to others, admit defeat"
Lu Leiyuan stepped forward and wanted to replace Han Yuncheng to negotiate with the demon clan, but Han Yuncheng refused. Penglai's skills were not as good as others, and he had the shame of today, so Penglai accepted.
Han Yuncheng walked out of the mountain-protecting formation, and the demon clan reacted immediately. The Supremes of the Tiger Shark Clan, Kui Niu Clan, and Jade Whale Clan appeared one after another.
"Han Yuncheng"
"It's Han, who has met all the Supreme Beings."
"Should Penglai want war or peace?"
"He, the Penglai Taoist tradition has been passed down for hundreds of thousands of years and should not be extinguished in the hands of Han. This is a book from heaven."
"Bring it over"
"The demon tribe retreats first"
"Haha, do you think it's possible?"
"What do you want?"
"Bring the Heavenly Book, we are not interested in destroying Penglai, so we will leave naturally."
"How can I trust you?"
"Then you are wasting your time. Do you think I can't break your turtle shell? Let's see."
The Kuiniu Clan Supreme sneered. Behind them, three hundred high-level demon kings were arrayed. These three hundred high-level demon kings were all seriously injured by Penglai Supreme's self-destruction. The three demon clan supremes had ordered them that if Penglai
If they don't agree, they will rush into the formation and explode themselves, blowing away the defense of the Penglai Mountain Guard Formation, even if they all self-destruct.
"Han took himself as a hostage and came among you. The demon clan retreated five thousand miles. I will send someone to send the heavenly book. The distance is only five thousand miles. At the speed of the high-level demon king, we can reach it in the blink of an eye. We have no reinforcements."
Okay, even if it’s delayed, how long can it be delayed? What do you think?”
"Can"
The three demons looked at each other and nodded. They really had no intention of going shopping with Penglai, just for this heavenly book. After getting the heavenly book, they would naturally withdraw their troops.
Han Yuncheng nodded and sent the Heavenly Book back to the mountain gate. He then told Li Xuanji some things and soon left the mountain gate again and walked to the three supreme demon kings.
Han Yuncheng is the chief elder of Penglai and knows countless secrets of Penglai. With him as a hostage, his sincerity is very high. The demon clan did not think much and ordered the withdrawal of troops.
The monster army slowly evacuated under the command of the Zhizu monsters, and it was not until a day later that they withdrew from a distance of five thousand miles. Han Yuncheng sent a message to Penglai, and a spiritual disciple sent the Book of Heaven to Han Yuncheng, and then flew away immediately.
.
"Wait a moment"
"Monkey Xiang, what else do you have to do?"
"I just discussed it with the Fox King. Penglai surrendered so easily. How can we confirm whether this heavenly book is true or false? Your lords, the human race must be on guard against cunning."
"Yes, Han Yuncheng, how do you explain it?"
"The Book of Heaven comes from the upper realm. It records countless laws of heaven. High-level monks have understood the mysteries. Whether it is true or false, you can use your spiritual sense to find out."
A few people nodded, they had heard this before, so the nine supreme demon kings each used their spiritual senses to check the contents of the heavenly book. As soon as their spiritual senses were penetrated, they could feel countless Taoist charms that seemed to be there or not, which were unfathomable and incomprehensible.
After describing it, the nine demon kings were immediately overjoyed and believed that this heavenly book was true.
"What, Han didn't lie to you?"
"As you all know, we demon tribes in the three places will evacuate from tomorrow, and the monks are not allowed to harass us."
"Also, from now on, the East China Sea will be the territory of our East China Sea Monster Clan. Humans, whether they are mortals or monks, are not allowed to go to the sea."
"Tiger Shark Supreme, my human race also needs fish and shrimp to nourish itself. Can you be accommodating? We will never enter the open sea. We will just hunt fish and shrimp within a thousand miles of the coastline. How about"
"Okay, don't cross the line. If you cross the line, don't blame my children for eating you humans."
The Supreme Tiger Shark Clan nodded. After the army dispersed, the high-level demon kings each guarded their territories. In fact, they could not guard against the humans. The East China Sea was too big.
"Thank you, Tiger Shark Supreme. If nothing happens, can Han please leave?"
"Go away"
Tiger Shark Supreme waved his hand, not interested in killing Han Yuncheng and just let him leave.
Han Yuncheng left the demon clan, and the monks in Penglai City already knew the reason why the demon clan retreated. The world believed it, and many monks yelled at Penglai. For their own selfish purposes, they actually gave the human race's treasure to the demon clan. Penglai also had
He Mianmian claims to be a holy land for human race to cultivate immortality.
Faced with the curses from the monks all over the world, Penglai was ashamed and had no confidence to even defend and argue. Many monks also wrote to the sect, asking the sect to clean itself up.
How dare the higher-ups who know the reason to answer, if the news is leaked and the monsters come back, then Penglai will really be destroyed, so they can only bear this curse silently.
Penglai was completely devastated, especially when the history books compiled by Lin Xiao from the ancient times and the Qing Emperor's era were spread to Central Continent. The monks all over the world knew about the tragic situation of the human race in the ancient times and the epic history of resistance to the monsters during the Qing Emperor's era. They were immediately disgusted with Penglai.
increase.
In an instant, monks from second- and third-rate forces left without saying goodbye. They were following Penglai who had suppressed the East China Sea for hundreds of thousands of years for the human race, not the current Penglai who had knelt down to the demon clan.
Their departure triggered a frenzy of exodus from Penglai City. I don’t know how many monks who had settled in Penglai for generations left Penglai. They all felt that it was embarrassing to live here. In just three days, more than a million monks left Penglai.
The city of Penglai was completely empty.
Then something even more unacceptable to Penglai happened. Previously, various sects in Central Continent had helped Penglai resist the monsters on the Penglai battlefield for more than a year. More than a hundred high-level monks died in the battle, 70% of which were not from the three Kunlun sects, but from the rest.
Countless people from various sects and vassal forces, as well as low-level monks, died in the battle of Penglai City.
According to the rules of the immortal world, meritorious services are rewarded, and death in battle requires pensions. These sects have asked Penglai to fulfill his promise and cash in their resources to them.
But Penglai had just experienced a great war, and many of its own people had been killed and injured. All the resources accumulated over the years had been wiped out. How could there be any resources to compensate them? This put Penglai into a dilemma.
Penglai could not provide resources for rewards and pensions, which angered various sects. Although they did not dare to take action against Penglai, they could express their complaints. Some of Penglai's vassal forces even directly announced that they would break away from Penglai and become independent.
This situation was something that no one in Penglai had ever thought about. They did not expect that their attempt to survive would turn into this situation, and they were suddenly confused.
