The Wu Clan is a powerful race that originated even before the Human Race and the Demon Clan. Their sphere of influence occupies a full third of the Tianzheng Continent.
But contrary to this vast land, the number of the Wu tribe is far less than that of the human race. It is a typical sparsely populated land.
The Witch Clan is located in the northern part of Tianzheng Continent. The weather conditions in this area are much worse than those of the Human Clan and Monster Clan.
In addition, the biggest reason why the Witch Clan is able to divide the world with the Human Clan and the Monster Clan by virtue of its small population is that the powerful individuals of the Witch Clan are very strong individually, and the entire clan practices martial arts.
This is undoubtedly a huge advantage compared to the numerous ordinary people in the human race, as well as the ordinary beasts in the demon race, and the savage beasts without intelligence.
In addition, the physical body of the Witch Clan is very powerful, and the focus of their cultivation is also the physical body.
A powerful member of the Witch Clan can even activate part of the power of the ancestral god contained in his body due to the ultimate in physical training, thus being able to derive all kinds of mysterious magical powers.
These magical powers can be described as diverse, allowing the witch clan, which originally focused on body refining, to have the ability to control water, control fire, and even control space and time.
The magical power of the Witch Clan is comparable to the blood inheritance of powerful bloodline owners in the Monster Clan. Compared with the two races, the Human Clan is really lacking a lot in this aspect.
At the border of the Wu tribe, a group of dozens of people crossed the border from the land of the Wu tribe, avoiding the sight of the Huajian country's garrison, and headed south from the north of Huajian.
After arriving at Huajian Kingdom, the group of people did not stop at all. They avoided the attention of all the scouts, troops and powerful men in Huajian Kingdom, and directly crossed the border between Huajian and Tianxiong, and then walked along the border.
Following Tianxiong all the way south, they directly entered the Quanzhou territory of the Taisho Dynasty.
One day later, a brutal war broke out on the border between the Huajian Kingdom and the Wu tribe. For some unknown reason, a Wu tribe suddenly launched an attack on the garrison on the border of the Huajian Kingdom.
This Wu tribe is called the Black Stone Tribe. It is not far from the border. The total number of the tribe is about 3,000. Although there are minor frictions with the border garrison of Huajian Country on weekdays, there has never been a large-scale war.
.
This time, the Blackstone Tribe dispatched more than 2,000 people, including three great witches including the tribal chief.
With such a powerful force, most of the 3,000 defenders on the border of Huajian Kingdom were killed or injured. If the follow-up reinforcements had not arrived in time, the border of Huajian Kingdom would have been breached by the Blackstone tribe.
But even so, Huajian Kingdom suffered heavy losses in this war.
The three thousand border defenders suffered all casualties, and more than a third of the subsequent three thousand reinforcements suffered casualties. Coupled with the regent's rebellion not long ago, it is now difficult for the Huajian Kingdom to gather five thousand regular troops with the entire country's efforts.
.
With the unexplained large-scale attack by the Blackstone tribe and the heavy losses in the border war, the entire Huajian Kingdom was shrouded in a desolate atmosphere.
Although the Huajian defenders on the border barely resisted the invasion of the Black Stone Tribe, anyone could see that the Huajian Kingdom at this time was at the end of its strength. It is precisely for this reason that the Huajian Kingdom located in Huajian
A large number of people in the northern part of the country began to move south.
At the beginning of the first year of Taiping, the Black Stone tribe of the Wu tribe invaded, and the war on the northern border of Huajian was defeated, and a large number of people began to move south.
As the people moved their families south, in the winter after the heavy snow, countless people died on the roadside due to hunger and cold. A large number of homeless people, separated from their families and separated from their families, headed south all the way, and finally died.
Because of the weather and food, a large number of people stopped in Shangjing and several other cities and market towns.
Go to the capital, the Imperial Master's Mansion.
Dugu Shengyu Chunchao Lake, looking at the motionless koi fish in the lake constantly rolling in order to grab food. On his side, Ruan Shi was also admiring the spectacular scene of thousands of koi fish leaping out, swaying from time to time.
Take the bait.
Not far away from the two of them, Xing Yu greeted him respectfully.
Report.
"Young Master, another news has come from the palace. Another war broke out at Jianing Pass this morning. Although the people of the Black Stone Tribe suffered heavy casualties, they have no intention of stopping. The number of guards at Jianing Pass is already less than 3,000, and they are in danger.
.”
Ruan Shi fed the fish without any change in her expression: "What does that person in the palace mean?"
"The one in the palace, I hope that our Imperial Master's Palace can make some efforts to fight against foreign enemies."
"To fight against foreign enemies together?" Ruan Shi said in a somewhat disdainful tone: "The man in the palace thought very well. He really regarded my Imperial Master's Palace as his."
At this moment, Dugu Sheng suddenly spoke: "Go and restore the palace. The Imperial Master's Mansion will send out manpower, but only for the three great witches. If there are other innate or above powerful witches participating in the battle, the Imperial Master's Mansion will automatically
We will deal with it. As for the other people in the Blackstone Tribe, the Emperor's Palace will not take care of them."
Ruan Shi was a little surprised by Dugu Sheng's sudden opening. He stopped what he was doing and looked at Dugu Sheng in surprise: "Ah? Master, are we really going to get involved?"
"It doesn't make much difference to us whether to blend in or not. Let Bai Jing and Di Hao take a trip. The murderous spirit and resentment on the battlefield should make their strength even further."
Ruan Shi's eyes brightened when he heard Dugu Sheng's explanation, and he chuckled: "Let me tell you, young master, it turns out that you have this idea, training soldiers with strong men from the Wu clan, it sounds good."
Dugu Sheng nodded and continued: "In addition, recently, a large number of refugees have poured into Shangjing City. You and Yingxuan will go shopping outside. If you encounter anyone suitable, you can bring them directly to the mansion for training."
Xing Yu responded respectfully: "Understood!"
"Okay, go and do your work. Call Fan Tong over."
After Xing Yu bowed and saluted again, he left in a hurry.
After Xing Yu left, Ruan Shi's face gradually darkened and her tone was cold: "Young Master, the man in the palace is getting more and more restless. This time, he obviously wants to drag us into trouble and take the opportunity to weaken the emperor.
The strength of the master's office. If we continue to let it go, I'm afraid they will take us less and less seriously."
Dugu Sheng did not immediately answer Ruan Shi's words. He looked at the thousand-tailed koi in Chunchao Lake and spoke after a long time.
"Under the sky, it is the land of the king. On the shore of the land, it is the ministers of the king. As the king of a country, power and desire for control are their innate things. It is reasonable to have such thoughts and actions.
I already gave him a warning last time. This time, if it had not really come to a critical moment, he would not have thought of us. The little emperor did this to hide himself, and secondly, he also wanted to see our emperor master.
The strength of the government. In this case, we might as well use this time to explain our attitude!
However, although the survival of Huajian is nothing, it still has some effect on us. In this world, no matter where, strength is respected. As long as we show enough strength, then his little thoughts will only float in the water.
Ping.”
As soon as Dugu Sheng finished speaking, a figure approached from far away and quickly came to Dugu Sheng and Ruan Shi.
The visitor was none other than Fan Tong, who had joined the Imperial Master's Mansion a few days ago.
During this period of time, Fan Tong was busy in the Imperial Master's Mansion from inside to outside. He had never thought that as a top expert at the pinnacle of the Nine Heavens, he could be so busy.
Today, Fan Tong is already the chief steward of the Imperial Master's Mansion. With his cultivation level, being a steward would be a bit unqualified, but the manpower in the Imperial Master's Mansion is too few.
The servants and maids that the young emperor originally stayed in the Imperial Master's Mansion were all sent out of the mansion in batches, and the mansion rarely recruited servants. This also directly led to the huge Emperor's Master's Mansion falling into ruins.
To the point where people take care of it.
It was against this background that Fan Tong rose to power.
His manager was busy doing almost all the trivial matters in the house. He even had some doubts about whether his manager was the busiest in the capital.
Ruan Shi once told him that his mission was to practice hard, but now he discovered that he was so naive that he actually believed the words of these officials!
After wiping the sweat from his forehead with his hand and bowing, Fan Tong said, "Master, are you looking for me?"
Dugu Sheng nodded and turned to Ruan Shi on one side.
Ruan Shi took out a palm-sized object with a light golden color and said: "An assassin came to the house last night. After he was killed, this was found from his body. Take a look and see if this assassin is the one you mentioned.
Sifangmen.”
Fan Tong took the thing handed over by Ruan Shi with some doubts. After taking a brief look, his expression suddenly changed. This thing was nothing else, it was just an identity badge, and there were two big characters written on the badge.
Sifang'.
"The identity badge of Sifangmen!"
Fan Tong confirmed the origin of this waist badge almost at a glance, and the light golden waist badge represented the identity of the branch master of the Sifang Sect.
Fan Tong felt that his mind was completely blank. Just last night, a hall master of the Sifang Sect, a half-step innate powerhouse, sneaked into the Imperial Master's Mansion and died here.
Fan Tong had almost no doubt about Ruan Shi's words.
The identity badge of the Sifangmen Hall Master is here, which can only mean that his master has been captured or killed directly. Moreover, what shocked Fan Tong the most was that a half-step innate powerhouse sneaked into the Imperial Master's Mansion.
A fight broke out, but he didn't notice it at all. It can be seen that the leader of the Sifang Sect was captured almost instantly.
At this time, Fan Tong was almost certain that there was definitely an innate powerhouse in the Emperor's Master's Mansion. Only this explanation could explain why the Emperor's Master's Mansion dared to accept him so openly.
I was just recalling what I had seen and heard in the Imperial Master's Mansion these days, and I had never seen anyone who looked like an innate powerhouse.
At this moment, a mysterious man whose whole body was covered by a black robe and wearing a bamboo hat, whose face could not be seen at all, suddenly appeared on the scene.
In the hand of the mysterious man, he held a huge bloody sickle. The end of the long handle of the sickle was dragging a long and thick chain. And on top of the chain, a person was tied tightly, or to be precise,
It's a corpse tied up.
Seeing the corpse, Fan Tong was shocked again and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Ximen Yuanzheng, the master of the Western Hall of Sifangmen!"
Fan Tong's mouth twitched because he saw that Ximen Yuanzheng also had an identity token hanging on his waist. In other words, Ximen Yuanzheng was not the assassin that Ruan Shi said. There were already people in Sifangmen.
The two hall masters were buried in the Imperial Master's Mansion.
After figuring this out, Fan Tong's eyes fell on the mysterious man in black again. From the moment he appeared, Fan Tong felt an extremely dangerous aura from the other person. Again
Combined with the fact that the opponent was able to easily kill Ximen Yuanzheng, his strength was ready to be revealed, and he must be a strong person above the innate level.
Fan Tong's discovery made him feel a little nervous.
Originally, in his opinion, there should be no strong people in the Imperial Master's Mansion. After all, although the Imperial Master Dugu Sheng had a high status in the Huajian Kingdom, he was a member of the civil service system, and he had just taken up the position.
It shouldn't be possible to win over the disciples who are more powerful than innate so quickly.
But now it seems that his idea is undoubtedly very wrong.
But then again, he joined the Imperial Master's Mansion just to take refuge. Now there is an innate powerful person hidden in the Imperial Master's Mansion. For him, it is nothing short of a good thing. Just like this time, if
Without the existence of this mysterious innate powerhouse, and Ximen Yuanzheng discovering him, he might be the one who died.
"This Sifangmen is really brave. Even if someone came last night, they dare to come again today!" Ruan Shi said in a cold tone.
"Master, Master Vulcan!"
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded. The source of the voice was very vague, like an uncaptured wind. It seemed far away, yet seemed to be right beside me.
