Nie Heng returned to Xuanjian Sect, taking Da Mang and Liang Qi with him.
Before that, Nie Heng received some information from Li Shanshan, saying that a prince from the demon clan had come to seek refuge, so Zi Wei was arranged by him to go to another place.
This time I don’t know if Zi Wei is going back to be a horse thief or a water bandit, or to complete some other mission.
Anyway, Zi Wei was very happy and seemed to like the new job that Nie Heng arranged for him.
But no one in Xuanjian Sect was happy.
Nie Tianyang, the Supreme Elder, all the powerful men including Baili Wuxin and Yingsha, as well as the seven hall masters and deputy hall masters who were still in Xuanjian Sect, all came to the meeting hall.
Among them, some were worried, some were confused, and some even complained about the poor protection of Da Mang and Zi Wei, and had already begun to discuss how to punish the two.
Because they all confirmed that Nie Heng's strength was as rumored, and he had fallen to the level of a martial artist.
The grievance of the big python is like snow falling in June.
He knew that Nie Heng was not injured at all and was still strong.
It's just that Nie Heng has some mysterious means that can help him hide his strength perfectly.
Moreover, Nie Heng told him that this matter must be kept secret, so Da Bo could only lower his head, feeling aggrieved like a little daughter-in-law who was bullied by her husband's family...
In the end, with Nie Heng's help and explanation, Big Python escaped without any punishment.
After all, once Nie Heng cannot protect himself, what can Da Mang and Zi Wei do?
…
"Heng'er, the truth about the marrow-devouring poisonous blood has been known to the whole world. I believe that it will be difficult for that holy master to get enough worship!"
Nie Tianyang sat on the sect leader's chair and looked at the young man on the last chair on the left.
This top position belongs to Nie Heng: he is not an elder, not the hall leader or deputy hall master. He can only attend the meeting as the young sect leader and sits at the bottom of the table.
Just like Liang Shiqi, as one of the top five powerful men in the empire, he now only sits on the bottom seat on the other side.
Nie Tianyang continued: "The threat from the Dai Viet Empire no longer exists. Can we start studying countermeasures and prepare to go north again with the imperial army?"
This should not be Nie Tianyang’s idea alone, it should also be His Majesty Li Chengwei’s idea, and he plans to seek the opinions of Nie Heng and Li Chenghui first.
"Not enough!"
Nie Heng answered in three words!
Hearing this, Nie Tianyang stood up suddenly: "Are we not strong enough, or is the empire's army not strong enough?"
Nie Heng replied: "The imperial army cannot get involved in the war between martial arts experts, otherwise the casualties will be too great! As for everyone's strength..."
He answered one question, but not the most important question.
He just frowned and slowly shook his head.
Seeing him shaking his head, everyone looked at me and me, all surprised.
You must know that in the current Xuanjian Sect, there are six strong people in the Martial Saint realm, including Li Chenghui, Qin Feng, Shroud, Cunxue and Zhao Hu, and there are also seven people in the Martial Master realm.
Such a powerful and terrifying force is already the strongest force the empire has had since the death of the First Emperor. Isn't it enough to deal with the Hungarian Empire and the Holy Lord?
Seeing that everyone was surprised, Nie Heng stood up. He looked at the seniors and strong men on both sides, and finally looked at his father and bowed with his fists clasped.
"Dad, outside of this continent, warriors in the Martial Saint realm are not even worthy of the word strong!"
"There, the ethereal realm warriors who have surpassed the Martial Saint realm are just slightly bigger ants!"
"Beyond the Sky Spirit Realm is the Heavenly Punishment Realm! Only warriors with at least the Heavenly Punishment Realm will be recognized as martial arts masters outside this continent!"
"This means that under the punishment of heaven, all are ants!"
He told everyone about the strong and weak divisions of martial arts realms: above the martial master realm, the martial saint realm, the ethereal realm, the heavenly punishment realm...
He spoke sentence by sentence, not fast, but very heavy!
He is telling a fact, a fact that he knows from his past life experience!
All are ants under the punishment of heaven!
And it must continue.
He said: "The Holy Lord comes from outside the sky! If you want to fight him, you must at least estimate his strength to be at the ethereal level!"
If the Holy Lord is a powerful person in the terrifying Heavenly Punishment Realm, he will have the ability to forcefully break through the vast sea of water spirits.
If it were not for the Heaven Punishment level or a stronger warrior, the Holy Master would not be able to forcefully break through that sea.
He couldn't force his way in, so he could only bribe some strong men from the Dragon Clan as a way to buy his way.
But the dragon clan also has the pride of the dragon clan. The truly strong among them will never allow any warrior who is not at the ethereal level to fly over their heads.
Therefore, even if the Holy Master paid the money to enter the Well Bottom Continent, his strength has at least reached the ethereal level.
"Of course I don't want the Holy Lord to be a strong man in the Heavenly Punishment Realm! It would be best if he is just in the Ethereal Realm!"
After simply continuing the introduction, Nie Heng sighed: "Also, even if five strong men of the Martial Saint Realm join forces, they may not be able to defeat a strong man of the Ethereal Realm!"
Rumble…
Everyone in the hall was shocked!
…
An hour later, in Nie Heng's courtyard.
Nie Ling's complexion was as pale as winter snow.
"Third brother, is what you told everyone today too cruel?"
She no longer needs to sit in a wheelchair. Now she is as graceful as a lily in full bloom, beautiful and gentle: "You gave everyone hope, but you almost...killed the hope in everyone's hearts with your own hands!"
Nie Heng was listening to the gurgling spring water, and his mood was like spring water, with slight waves.
He likes to stay with Nie Ling because it makes him feel comfortable and warm.
But now he feels a little cold: "Sister, if I don't tell them all this, it would be really cruel to them."
He was really afraid, afraid that His Majesty would be overheated for a moment, and even more afraid that the strong men of the Xuanjian Sect would suddenly have a sudden surge of blood and make some wrong decision!
He knew that if he went to fight the Holy Lord now, the Great Xia Empire would have a slight chance of winning.
After all, there are a large number of Martial Saint Realm and Martial Master Realm experts in the empire, as well as a monster like him.
As long as the Holy Master is not an absolute powerhouse in the Three Ethereal Realms or the Heavenly Punishment Realm, Nie Heng has some confidence that he can use the cards in his hand well to win a miserable battle.
But the price of victory will be huge!
Because if the Daxia Empire wants to win, there is only one way - to use the empire's million-strong army, all the elites of the three sects, and all the martial arts masters to use the human sea tactic to kill the Holy Lord.
In the end, even if you still can't defeat the opponent, you still have to ask the Holy Master to consume as much spiritual power as possible.
When the time comes, Nie Heng will find the best opportunity to fight and use all his skills and treasures to win. Then he will be even more certain of winning.
It's a pity that this kind of tactics is almost equal to self-destruction of the empire. Once he really fights like this, Nie Heng knows what the empire and himself will lose.
But...besides the human sea tactic, what other options are there?
Pill?
This is the continent at the bottom of the well. Even if he has a better recipe for elixirs, it is still difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without straw - medicinal materials, truly excellent medicinal materials and heavenly and earthly treasures, are not available on this continent!
If he couldn't refine a better elixir than the Holy Poaching Pill, he could only wait!
Waiting for your close relatives, elders, brothers and sisters around you to gradually become stronger.
This process will be long!
Even if Nie Heng arranged caves that could change the rules of time, the process would still be very long.
Several years, or even longer!
The Great Xia Empire cannot afford to wait for such a long time!
Nie Heng couldn’t afford to wait either…
He also knew that even if the Holy Lord did not take the initiative to attack the Great Xia Empire in a few years, the Holy Lord himself would increase a lot in strength in a few years!
Since he couldn't afford to wait, and he was unwilling to use the strength of the whole country to fight against the Holy Lord, Nie Heng could only rely on himself!
He began to think about how to use his own strength to fight against the Holy Lord and the many lackeys of the Holy Lord who had at least reached the level of ethereal realm?
The answer is only two words: strength!
He needs more strength!
Looking at his back, Nie Ling slowly shed two lines of tears.
She knew what her brother was enduring and what he had been enduring...
What a terrible burden it would be to have such heavy pressure on the shoulders of the third brother who should still be very young.
So she took a few steps forward and hugged her brother gently from behind: "Third brother, no matter what, my eldest sister will support you!"
"Report..."
Unexpectedly, at this moment, before Nie Heng had time to enjoy the intoxicating feeling of close relatives, a voice came: "Two princes and a princess from the demon clan are rushing into the mountains!"
Hearing this, Nie Heng's eyes suddenly filled with anger!
