Chapter Five Hundred and Sixteenth The Grandfather Arrives
War God Mountain and Immortal King are the seventh and eighth generation mountain masters and the previous great elder respectively. The three are now respected as supreme elders.
There are two emperor-level monsters, one is the Earth-Bearing Power, and the other is the Sky-Splitting Leopard Yunguang. The former is a beast and the latter is a demon. They are both late-stage emperors. Their identities are the same as those three immortal kings, and they are also noble.
The Taishang Elder also has the title of the guardian beast on the left and right. The reason why they have this title is because the two of them once followed the ancestor Luo Qingtian, and they have survived to this day because the lifespan of monsters and beasts is long.
There are seventeen true immortals, seven of whom are seven, eight generations of elders who are now protectors, and the remaining ten are contemporary elders.
The three early-stage Earth Bear Demon Emperors and the three early-stage Sky-Splitting Leopard Emperors are all descendants of the two mountain-protecting mythical beasts.
There are also approximately 730,000 inner sect deacon disciples below the immortal level, and nearly 10 million lower outer sect disciples.
Among them, the previous mountain master, the eighth generation mountain master Xu Liang, led five guardians, five elders and three split-day leopard emperors to Dongzhou with You Shen years ago. The accompanying inner sect deacons and disciples were about
400,000 people, in addition to six immortals and 20 million monks with different cultivation levels.
After Zhang Baoer heard the above situation, he pondered for a moment and then said bluntly:
“Who is trustworthy and who is unreliable?”
Hearing this, Tao Qian was not angry, because he already knew that the little patriarch's current situation was not good, and it was necessary to be more cautious. Although Zhang Baoer didn't say it explicitly, he guessed that the 'shameless old guy' must be aloof.
The Immortal Emperor is undoubtedly.
So why does he still surrender at all costs?
The answer is simple. First, they have the same roots, and second, they want to take a chance on boarding this smooth sailing ship with unlimited potential - he believes that as long as he is loyal enough, his ancestor will not treat him badly when the time comes.
After thinking about it for a long time, he considered:
"Although the Great Elder intends to compete with Qian for the position of mountain master, there must be no problem with people. If the War God Mountain encounters danger, he may be the first one to step forward... The previous Great Elder, together with Protector Zhou and Protector Yuan
There are also the third elder, fourth elder, seventh elder and ninth elder among the contemporary elders who I can’t see through. Especially the last great elder. He used to be quite satisfactory, but since his cultivation reached the Great Perfection of the Late Immortal King, he has become
It seems... I seem to have some other ideas."
Zhang Baoer nodded to indicate that he had remembered, and then asked:
"Tell me his details."
"yes!"
Tao Qian couldn't help but replied without thinking:
"His name is Yang Zhi, and he is the adopted son of Ying Menglong, the seventh-generation mountain master. He and the eighth-generation mountain master were once twinned by the world. For more than ten years, he and the old mountain master seemed to have had a quarrel. No one
I don’t know the specific reason. I only know that his personality suddenly changed drastically. He no longer immersed himself in spiritual cultivation. Suddenly, he had an affair with the third elder and the fourth elder.
, the Seventh Elder and the Ninth Elder are very close, and often leave the mountain gate to travel around. Some time ago, the mysterious forces caused chaos. Since the old mountain master Ying Menglong and the senior Xiong Wei were here, we felt that we were safe, but we were opposed by Master Yang.
It was under his leadership that Zhu Xian was promoted together with the Shenxiao Sect..."
At this point, seeing that he hesitated to speak, Zhang Baoer said:
"No need to be afraid, just say whatever you want. I'm not the kind of person who will judge a person's quality based on your words."
"yes!"
Tao Qian smiled and continued with a frown:
"Some time ago, this junior went to visit the seventh-generation Master Ying Menglong and mentioned Master Yang's matter to him. He only said, 'As long as he doesn't go out of line, let him be.'"
After listening, Zhang Baoer fell into deep thought, and after a long while he muttered:
"Could it be that he has aspirations for a higher realm and is therefore seeking something?"
Tao Qian said he didn't know, and then thought:
"He disappeared for a period of time before his personality changed drastically. That period of time was the time when the messengers from the great forces from outside the world arrived. The juniors and teachers speculated that it might be related to this, but there is no evidence."
Zhang Baoer couldn't help but nodded, and then asked:
"Who is your master?"
Tao Qian smiled and said:
"My master Wu Yong, like the younger generation, only has the cultivation of an immortal, but he is very talented and is known as the Dingshan Stone. He went to the West with Uncle Xu Liang. The reason why Senior Youshen Yunguang went there was to intimidate Xiaoxiao's guarantee to Uncle Xu Liang.
There were no major accidents during the trip, and secondly, I was ordered by the old mountain master to protect my master."
Hearing this, Zhang Baoer wanted to see Wu Yong. According to him, the reason why Tao Qian was able to ascend to the position of the ninth generation mountain master may have a lot to do with him.
After thinking for a long time, he said to Tao Qian:
"Let's make some arrangements. I'll meet Ying Menglong first."
"yes!"
Tao Qian responded, cupped his hands and said:
"Master, please wait a moment. This junior will invite the ancestor here..."
"No!"
Zhang Baoer shook his head and smiled, stood up and said:
"Let's go, I'll let you go see him."
Hearing this, Tao Qian was a little undecided, because as the owner of the mountain, he naturally knew that the Ares Mountain was not monolithic. If he went there rashly and was discovered, it might have adverse consequences.
Seeing his hesitation, Zhang Baoer smiled and said:
"It's okay. Unless the Immortal Emperor is exposed to others, no one will know about my existence."
After saying that, the energy of chaos filled his body, and Tao Qian suddenly showed a horrified look. He could not sense the existence of Zhang Baoer. If the person had not been right in front of him, he would not have believed that such a thing would happen today even if he died.
Then he was filled with excitement - if he didn't have some extraordinary means, how could he be a disciple of the God of War?!
So he said respectfully:
"Master Patriarch, please!"
The two of them left the inn, then left Baimao City without anyone noticing, and then climbed up to Ares Mountain without anyone noticing. Tao Qian, the mountain owner, naturally had his own tricks. There was no need to be sneaky along the way, as he already had reliable methods.
People have cleared a path for him, and he only needs to be careful when entering the forbidden area, because it is not something he can easily control.
However, since it was dark now and Zhang Baoer was not mentally aware, the two of them arrived at the door of a small mountain courtyard smoothly.
There was no servant to guard him, so Tao Qian walked in first. Soon the lights in the central hall came on, and he returned and took Zhang Baoer in.
Walking into the central hall, Zhang Baoer saw an old man dressed as an old farmer. The old man was already standing by the door, looking at him with surprise and uncertainty.
Tao Qian did not dare to say anything, so he quickly closed the door and set up an isolation formation to prevent the partition wall from having ears.
After looking at it for a long time, the old man bowed his hands and said:
"Please, Your Excellency, display the mysterious light again."
"Master..."
Tao Qian was shocked and wanted to say that he was sure, but Zhang Baoer waved his hand and interrupted his words, smiled and then used the light of the mark.
Boom!
The old man immediately knelt down, bowed and said in a trembling voice:
"Ying Menglong pays homage to the Patriarch!"
Soon after, Tao Qian opened the door and walked out, using the leader's order to summon all the immortals in the sect who were still in the Central Continent to hold a meeting at the Temple of War at noon tomorrow. When he came back again, there was a tall, dark-skinned man beside him.
Strong man.
Bang!
Before he could knock on the door, the strong man with an excited face broke in and immediately hugged Zhang Baoer's feet.
Tao Qian, who had come back to his senses, had just finished setting up the Absolute Sound Array when he heard him howl:
"Little Xiong Xiongwei, meet my junior uncle!"
…………
The second day.
Bang!
The gate of the War Temple was closed, and two Immortal Kings, thirteen True Immortals and three Earth Bear Kings gathered together.
Just when everyone who didn't know what was going on wanted to ask what happened to Tao Qian and Ying Menglong who were standing respectfully beside the mountain master's seat instead of sitting down, a voice sounded from behind the screen in the main hall.
Immediately afterwards, silhouettes of people were seen flashing. When an ordinary-looking young man was greeted by Xiong Wei, everyone looked horrified because they did not even sense the existence of this person!
Then, he walked straight up to the mountain master's position, and Tao Qian and Ying Menglong, the seventh and ninth generation mountain masters, knelt down in front of everyone:
"Meet the Patriarch!"
In the meantime, Ying Menglong also glanced at Xiong Wei, who was standing on one side like a show of strength, to signal him to salute, but Xiong Wei curled his lips and did not follow the instructions. Looking at his posture, it seemed that he was no longer a subordinate but a personal bodyguard - personal bodyguard.
You must concentrate on performing security work and there is no need to salute.
Seeing this, everyone's hearts jumped. Although they didn't know why they didn't want to kneel down, Ying Menglong also knelt down. They couldn't stand still, so they had to kneel down in confusion.
Zhang Baoer nodded, shook off Xiong Wei's hand that he stretched out for support, sat down on his own, and then said in a calm voice to those who were sweeping his body with mental power:
"Get up!"
"Thank you, Master Patriarch!"
Everyone stood up together with Menglong, and then continued to look at Zhang Baoer with confused expressions.
Zhang Baoer did not look at them. Secondly, he turned his attention to the old man in black robe standing on the lower right.
Seeing him looking at him, the old man's heart skipped a beat. He was none other than Yang Zhi. He knew that Zhang Baoer would not look at him for no reason. Although he was the Immortal King, he had mixed feelings in his heart for a while, and he felt a little unsure of what to do.
——The appearance and actions of his adoptive father Ying Menglong really shocked him.
After thinking about it, he resisted the urge to send a message to Tao Qian and chose to wait quietly for Zhang Baoer to speak.
Zhang Baoer didn't keep him waiting for long and asked in a calm voice:
"What do you want?"
Yang Zhi was stunned. He raised his head and looked at Zhang Baoer. He saw that his eyes were like water from an ancient well, without any sharpness or sarcasm. The question made him a little nervous.
After pondering for a moment, he glanced at everyone in the hall, ignored the looks of Protector Zhou and others, and once again stared at Zhang Baoer and said in a deep voice:
"One step further!"
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but feel their hearts skip a beat. Although everyone had already guessed that this person might not be willing to stop at the realm of the Immortal King and had higher ambitions, but now hearing him say it from his own mouth, they were still a little surprised. After all, 'go further'
But he is the Quasi-Emperor, only one step away from the Supreme Immortal Emperor!
Zhang Baoer nodded, without much change on his face, and then asked:
"My legs and feet are strong enough to walk up there?"
Yang Zhi was silent for a long time before he said quietly:
"A moth flies into the flame and knows nothing but light."
Except for Xiong Wei and Zhang Baoer, these words deeply touched everyone in the palace, especially Ying Menglong, who stared blankly at his adopted son and couldn't help but sigh.
Zhang Baoer nodded noncommittally, and then said:
"For that little bit of light, would you sell Ares Mountain and yourself?"
Yang Zhi was silent and could not help clenching his fists. Protector Zhou, the Third Elder and others could not help but frown and become nervous, while others looked surprised.
"The traitor!"
Ying Menglong shouted angrily, stepped forward, raised his hand and was about to hit Yang Zhi in the face, but at this moment, Zhang Baoer waved his hand to stop him, and then looked at Yang Zhi with flickering eyes.
Yang Zhi said calmly:
"I am the younger brother of your ancestor Luo Qingtian. I have encountered some troubles. I want this War God Mountain, so..."
Hearing this, everyone looked horrified, including Yang Zhi, the third child of the Xiong Wei family, and even their legs went limp and fell to the ground.
Zhang Baoer kept talking and continued:
"...I want to know if you are loyal."
Yang Zhi was silent again. Although everyone wanted to speak, they chose to shut up after being glared at by Ying Menglong. The hall was quiet, except for the careless breathing of Xiong Wei, and the sound of a pindrop could be heard.
I don't know how long it took, but Yang Zhi finally made up his mind. After taking a look at Ying Menglong, he looked at Zhang Baoer with a struggling expression and said in a trembling voice:
"You...what can you give me?!"
Zhang Baoer smiled, changed to a more comfortable position and sat down, then crossed his legs and asked in a faint voice:
"What do you deserve from me?"
"I……"
Yang Zhi thought for a while and was about to speak, but Zhang Baoer interrupted him and asked again:
"Before answering this question, tell me first, have you ever betrayed Ares Mountain and yourself?"
"I have never betrayed Ares Mountain..."
Yang Zhi answered without much thought, which made Ying Menglong and others secretly sigh with relief, but after a pause, he said again:
"I only betrayed myself..."
"Uncle Master..."
As soon as he opened his mouth, Protector Zhou screamed out with a look of horror on his face, wanting to say something, but then his eyes blurred, and he saw a fist that made the air burn had already arrived in front of him.
The incident happened suddenly and shocked everyone. The scene was too sudden and the speed exceeded everyone's reaction. As the person involved, Protector Zhou had no time to scream. In desperation, his thoughts moved, a blue light flashed, and a long handle
The sword came out from between his eyebrows and stabbed towards the fist, but...
Ding bang!
The green light exploded, and the fist continued unabated, hitting Protector Zhou's mouth directly.
With a pop, blood suddenly appeared. Protector Zhou, who had a rotten mouth with no teeth left, flew backwards and hit the golden pillar of the hall with a thud, making a groove in it, and then fell down.
on the floor.
Everyone with horrified faces turned around and saw Zhang Baoer sitting on the mountain master's seat... No, there was a little white mark on his fist!
