"Nightmare, why are you crazy!" Faced with the inexplicable questioning of Lord Nightmare, the white-browed old man from the Corpse Puppet Sect was also a little confused. At the same time, he quickly launched his momentum to fight against him, staring coldly at Lord Nightmare.
.
In the hall, people stopped and looked around, not knowing what was going on inside.
"There is a traitor in your Corpse Puppet Sect! You killed my disciple!" Lord Nightmare's eyes were reddish.
Meng Wushang was his favorite disciple and the one most promising to inherit his mantle. His talent was known as the number one person in the Guangling Cave Heavenly Divine Ability Realm. It is easy to imagine how high his talent was.
But now, he was actually killed by one of his own people? How could Lord Nightmare endure this?
"The ghost? Killed Meng Wushang?" The white-browed old man was stunned for a moment. Then he said seriously. "Nightmare, there may be a misunderstanding about this matter. It is absolutely impossible for me, a disciple of the Corpse Puppet Sect, to kill your disciple."
"Misunderstanding? Well, let's ask your eldest grandson from the Corpse Puppet Sect to come out and confront me!" Meng Meng said coldly.
"What? You mean Changsun Gu killed him?" The white-browed old man was shocked. Listening to what the Nightmare Lord meant, Changsun Gu attacked Meng Wushang, which is a taboo! "This is even more ridiculous, Changsun Gu is not here at all.
We are in a war zone, how can we kill your disciple?"
"Let me see where Changsun Gu is. Don't fall into the enemy's trick." The white-browed old man inquired calmly, while Lord Nightmare was waiting on the side.
After a while, the white-browed old man's face became a little gloomy.
Changsun Gu...is not in his own war zone!
"Shi Ye, why don't you speak anymore!" Lord Nightmare said coldly. "Item Spirit, announce the results of the inquiry!"
A child-like shadow immediately appeared in the hall, and then said coldly: "Sun Gu, the eldest son of the Corpse Puppet Sect, left the war zone three days ago and his whereabouts are unknown."
"The second clone was destroyed in the Shanhaikou teleportation array five days ago."
"The Supreme Holy Envoy Cangsong and the ruling patrol testified to King Tianyao that Sun Gu, the seventh elder of the Corpse Puppet Sect, had rebelled and killed many powerful men from the Qingxin Sect, Tianjue Sect, and Qingyang Sect."
"Among them, Fang Liang, the head of Qingyang, sent out a cry for help before his death. It is suspected that Changsun Gu did it."
"But since Changsun Gu was not found, we have put it on hold for the time being."
After Qi Ling finished speaking, the whole place fell into deathly silence.
The white-browed old man Shiye's expression changed slightly, while the Nightmare Lord was even more bizarrely angry.
"Okay, okay! The Holy Envoy and the Judgment Patrol have all accused you of hiding the traitor thing. What is your intention?"
"Shi Ye, what else do you have to say!"
The people who were traveling with the Corpse Puppet Sect were all silent.
Changsun Gu had made a fuss before about his son, but this was dealt with by the Supreme Holy Envoy Cangsong. The Corpse Puppet Sect is famous for being ruthless and unjust. If a son dies, he will die, and there will be no one.
Keep it in mind.
But if you really care, it's completely understandable. In order to take revenge, Changsun Gu had every reason to rebel.
However, in terms of level, Shi Ye is only on the same level as Changsun Gu. It is slightly higher but not high enough to control the other party's whereabouts.
This was indeed the first time he knew about these things.
Not only him, but everyone else was also shocked.
Cangsong, the Supreme Holy Envoy who has always supported the Corpse Puppet Sect, actually accused the elders of the Corpse Puppet Sect of rebellion. Now the Nightmare Lord of the Jiuyin Sect accused Changsun Gu of rebellion... They are not concerned about Changsun Gu as a person, but are more concerned about him. Yes, it’s the direction of support from the Supreme Religion...has it changed?
"Don't make any hasty conclusions about this matter!" Xi Ye said in a deep voice. "Since the true god has not given any orders, it proves that there is a high possibility that Changsun Gu and our Corpse Puppet Sect will be unjustly accused."
"The God of War Map can check the aura locations of all the Venerables. The Nightmare Venerable, everything must be found first before we can make any conclusions."
"When the sect master returns to the world and everything comes to light, he will definitely give you an explanation!"
…………
On the distant border of the three sects' battle flags, on a mountain peak.
Changsun Gu, who looked lonely, felt a chill on his back, and an inexplicable sense of danger came over him.
Changsun Gu shuddered, thinking about what happened before, he couldn't help but feel chilled.
"My secret order to ask for help from the sect master has not been responded to yet. The ruling patrol actually labeled me as a traitor..."
As Shen Zhui abandoned Fang Liang and returned to the army, Changsun Gu's situation became extremely difficult.
Shen Zhui said that the Supreme Envoy wanted to kill him, but Changsun Gu really believed it!
When reporting this matter to the leader of the Corpse Puppet Sect, the other party just asked: "Do you really want to kill Mei Qing and Meng Wushang."
Changsun Gu answered sincerely what he was thinking, but the sect master directly cut off the communication. Later, he knew the secret order of the patrol team to label him as a traitor, and Changsun Gu was even more brilliant!
The sect master abandoned him firstly because of the Supreme Holy Envoy, and secondly because he had to take the blame for the Shanhaikou Teleportation Formation.
If he doesn't carry it, the Corpse Puppet Sect will have to carry it!
The ruling patrol team must give a result. Judging from the explanation at the scene, he is almost the only one left alive! The rest are all dead! Those who are still alive will testify against themselves!
Now, the Alliance and the Supreme Holy Envoy all doubt him, and even the sect has lost trust... Although no one has taken action to arrest him, Changsun Gu can't sit still.
He knew very well that he was trapped in a huge conspiracy. It was extremely difficult to explain clearly.
Because killing Meiqing and Meng Wushang was what he had in mind! Suddenly sending a second corpse puppet clone to Shanhaikou to help Tian Juezong take control, it was difficult to explain!
He can't just sit back and die!
Therefore, Changsun Gu fled thousands of miles away and left the war zone.
"Now, the only chance to clear away the suspicion is to wait for the True God to review and deduce the past."
"There is absolutely no way I can stay where I am and wait to die."
"There is only this hope..." Changsun Gu murmured to himself.
But in an instant, he smiled bitterly, because even if he finally found out that there was something wrong with Fang Liang, it would be difficult to escape unscathed.
Because now, he has two crimes to blame.
First, the Shanhaikou teleportation array was destroyed. As the main defender, he could not escape the crime of dereliction of duty.
The second is to leave one's post without permission and flee from the war zone, which is an even greater crime!
"Fang Liang, Fang Liang!!" Changsun Gu realized in hindsight that he really hated that pretty face so much that his teeth were about to break.
If it weren't for Fang Liang, how could he, a dignified elder of the Corpse Puppet Sect and a fifth-level venerable, have reached this stage?
Losing all status and destroying the second body is a catastrophe!
"Shua~" A figure appeared on the top of the mountain. An old man wearing a gray robe came to Changsun Gu.
"Master, the Alliance has now listed the master on the defection list." The old man was lying on the ground.
As an elder of the Corpse Puppet Sect, Changsun Gu naturally has many servants. The road to becoming a strong man is always filled with enemies, and he also has his own channels to avoid them.
"What's the reason?" Chang Sungu suppressed the anger in his heart.
"Defected in the war zone, killed friendly troops, lost mountains and seaports, and killed Meng Wushang."
"Huh?" Changsun Gu's eyes widened and he grabbed the soul servant. "What did you say? I killed Meng Wushang, you say it again?!"
Facing Zhang Sungu's roar, the servant replied tremblingly. "Half an hour ago, Lord Nightmare in the Eastern War Zone suddenly testified that the master killed his disciple Meng Wushang, and the evidence was conclusive, and there was Lord Nightmare's soul.
The divided body is the proof and you can see it with your own eyes.”
"Pfft~" Changsun Gu vomited out a mouthful of old blood, his vision went dark, and he almost fainted.
At this moment, Changsun Gu really felt that everyone in the world was his enemy.
"It's over." Changsun Guchui fell to the ground. Elder Shiye was a good friend with whom he had a good relationship.
Changsun Gu is not stupid. He originally planned to defect to Shiye. He wanted this friend to convey his intention to be assassinated to the superiors, at least not to let the people in the dark do whatever he wanted. In this way, there may be room for maneuver in the future when the true god reviews the story.
.
But now, Xiye's road is also blocked!
Changsun Gu really felt like he had no way to go to heaven or earth!
"Master, Master, please change your route and go further to the South China Sea or Northern Barbarians. There may be a place for Master to live there..."
"As long as I am alive, there may be a chance to come back in the future." The servant advised.
"I can't leave." Changsun Gu's eyes were determined. "Wherever I go, I will be tortured by this matter every day, and my inner demons will continue. Finally, I will die!"
"You just said, where did Meng Wushang die?" Changsun Gu asked.
"In the Eastern War Zone, about two thousand miles away from Boundary Breaking City."
…………
New town, outside the city.
After killing Meng Wushang, Shen Zhui collected everything and returned to the city.
Meng Wushang has a lot of good things in him. As the most talented person in the Jiuyin Sect with supernatural powers and a seventh-level disciple of the Lord Nightmare Lord, his status is not low. So when Lian Taishang Holy Envoy Cangsong came to ask, even
I didn’t even see Meng Wushang’s face.
Killing him will not only untie the hearts of his subordinates, but more importantly, it will gain another thing!
Military merit!
Nowadays, although the battle flags of the three sects and the God of War map are shrouded, and the forces of the sect alliance are domineering in the wilderness, in the military city that has been built, because of the presence of divine power barriers and statues, it is still possible to contact the rear of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
This includes communications, the release of intelligence, etc.
Of course, in order to keep Xincheng's confidentiality secret, Shen Zhui rarely contacted even his master, and only accepted the news from the Dazhou Temple unilaterally.
The military merit list is real-time data that motivates generals from all sides to fight. As long as the statue is requested from the Law Enforcement Hall, even if the connection with the temple is cut off, the deeds and military merits can still be recorded.
Once reconnected, all kinds of intelligence information can be summarized immediately.
In this regard, the sect alliance is much worse than the Great Zhou.
Military merit list
Participant: Shen Zhui (Wu'an Army)
Military merit: 180,750,000
Rank: twenty-seven
"Return to the top thirty?" Shen Zhui nodded. He mainly killed Meng Wushang and more than a hundred supernatural powers. This did not include the military exploits during the latent period.
I am afraid that the battle achievements at that stage will have to wait for the true god to review and deduce before they can be counted. At that time in the Jiuyou Realm, Shen Zhui did not carry the statue of the god.
"Killing Meng Wushang and destroying Lord Nightmare's spiritual split body allowed me to re-enter the top thirty in terms of military merit. Before, I had fallen outside of fifty." Shen Zhui was still very satisfied with this result.
You know, all the hidden masters of the three major frontier armies have been released. Plus the foreign masters, these are all competitors!
The reason why I was able to enter the top 30 before was because Wu Anhou fought quickly. The enemies of the sect alliance were all concentrated on the side of Wu An Army, so there were more opportunities to gain military honors.
During the few days in Breaking the Boundary City, Shen Zhui was basically idle, but the people from the Jizhou Army and the Qingzhou Army were not idle!
Shen Zhui looked at the top ten names again.
Lan Hai, Qingzhou Army, military merit of one billion and eighty million!
Que Tianhu, Jizhou Army, military merit of 990 million
Lu Yuanwei, Wu Anjun, military merit of 980 million
Xia Longfei, Jizhou Army, military merit of 930 million
…………
Looking along the way, many of the top ten in the military merit list were unfamiliar names. Relying on Lan Hai and his master's cultivation, Shen Zhui also came to the conclusion that those with strong military merit and ranking in the top ten were at least Venerable Six. Above!
"With so many high-level sages, is it possible that I still have to compete with Master?"
"The title of Wuhou cannot confer a large number of rewards. According to past experience, apart from the hundreds of Wuhou who were granted the title of Wuhou when we established the country and established the world, the highest number was only during the conquest of the Northern Barbarians, when eleven Wuhou were granted the title. That was also the largest number in the past 800 years. Since then, there have never been more than ten people..."
"Even Lan Hai is strong enough to be granted the title of a marquis for a long time. His past military exploits are not included in this calculation, but he has not been granted the title of a marquis."
Shen Zhui felt a heavy pressure. It was difficult to be granted the title of Marquis, but even more difficult to be granted the title of Marquis of Wu.
Among all the titles, Earl, Viscount and Baron can be obtained by luck. For example, if a woman in the family marries into the palace and relies on in-law relationships, these three types of titles are generously rewarded, and even relatives who are out of reach may be able to get them. Viscount Dangdang.
However, this kind of nepotism between in-laws can only lead to an ordinary marquis at best.
Want to be granted the title of Marquis of Wu? You must have real merit!
"Mr. Yu, do you think there are any reward standards for the position of Marquis Wu?" Shen Zhui couldn't help but look at Yu Ziqi. This gentleman from the capital, who was born under the emperor, might know more.
Yu Ziqi pondered for a moment and said: "As far as I know, there is only one standard for the position of Marquis Wu, and that is whether you have made meritorious service to the country."
"But there are many kinds of 'gong'."
"For example, there are precedents for managing cities, opening up territories, and even forging artifacts that benefit the country. For example, the artifact popular in the military, the Myriad God Realm, was created by the Divine Worker. With this artifact, he was awarded the title of God Worker in one fell swoop. position, and the status is extremely high, no worse than the title of king."
"If we just talk about military merit and ennoblement, there are some potential rule restrictions."
"Oh?" Shen Zhui cupped his hands and said, "I'd like to hear the details."
"Each of the positions of Wuhou symbolizes the military force and outstanding military exploits of the Great Zhou Dynasty."
"But the world has been in power for more than 800 years. If you rely solely on military merit to become a prince, as long as you live long enough, there will always be a strong person who can survive until the day when you have enough military merit. Therefore, the imperial court later abolished the quantitative method."
"Why?" Shen Zhui wondered, slowly getting through it. This was very common in some systems in previous lives.
"Marquis Wu, Marquis Wu, the most important thing is force!"
“If you don’t have unparalleled achievements and unparalleled courage, it’s not enough to win the title!”
"If a general who is 700 or 800 years old can become a Marquis of Wu, and he is granted the title of Marquis of Wu, but cannot go to the battlefield, and if he forcefully goes to the battlefield, but is hacked to death by a general, wouldn't it make people laugh out loud? "
"It is a consensus that those who survive can only be ordinary marquises and cannot become Wuhou. If the deadline is approaching and the potential has been exhausted, even if the military merits are achieved and the military headquarters reports them, they will be brushed off at the central level. Very few Someone can make an exception."
"That's why there are ordinary marquises and Wuhous. The former gives honor and wealth to strong men who have meritorious service but are old, so that they can enjoy glory, live happily in their old age, and flourish."
"The latter are the big shots who truly hold real power, fight foreign wars, and have unlimited possibilities!"
"Furthermore, after so many years of stability in the Zhou Dynasty, Marquis Wu no longer needs so much,".
"Otherwise, just the fiefdom rewards from these marquises would be a headache for the Ministry of Husbandry and Rites."
"Furthermore, once the position of Wuhou becomes widespread, it will lose its original intention of demonstrating national power and cultivating talents. Therefore, the standards are naturally becoming more and more demanding."
Yu Ziqi cupped his hands toward the north and said: "I heard rumors in the early years that people over three hundred years old cannot be granted the title of Marquis of Wu. The General Lan Hai you have seen is probably close to this threshold, and I don't know if he can catch up this time." Fight and win an opportunity to make an exception and show mercy."
"As for many venerables on the military merit list, they may have the idea of taking the position of Wuhou and gaining great fortune, but most of them can only get an ordinary marquis, and it is difficult to win the reward of Wuhou."
