Chapter 0390 - Immeasurable Merit
Jiang Shichong died, and he couldn't die anymore, and even his head was cut off by Jiang Huan.
Whether Jiang Shichong's dream of unifying the small world of Yuanzhou can be realized after planning for hundreds of years - depends on the next development of events.
Because, the other overlord of the Yuanzhou small world, Ji Yunfeng, was also seriously injured and disappeared, thinking that he also escaped from the Yuanzhou small world.
If the situation develops normally, the two major families in the small world, the Ji family and the Jiang family, will face an endless situation.
I just don't know if those Jindan powerhouses of the Jiang family will be able to turn the tide after returning to Tianyuan City.
There is also whether the Jiang family and the Ji family have elected heirs, and whether those heirs are controlled by the system, and whether they are willing to come out and preside over the overall situation.
However, these were not the things that Zhao Yan had to care about, and he, Chu Xiu and the others returned to Tianyuan City after an hour.
As soon as he returned to Tian Yuan City, another thing happened that surprised everyone.
That is, the city lord of Tianyuan City had actually appeared at the head of the city to welcome their arrival.
"Tianyuan City Lord Li Gang is here to welcome all the distinguished guests back!" City Lord Li Gang said very sincerely, clasping his fists towards Zhao Yan and the others.
Chu Xiu and Zhao Yan looked at this Li Gang, who did not have any spiritual power fluctuations in his body, and they were very curious.
They were all thinking, could it be that the current Tian Yuan City was already under the control of this Li Gang?
At the same time, Zhao Yan also noticed that there was an expressionless old man standing next to this Li Gang.
Looking at Zhao Yan and the others looking at him at the moment, Li Gang smiled and said: "Don't think about it, you are only the city lord of Tianyuan City, and he is only responsible for the daily management of Tianyuan City, as for what happened before, Li Gang is definitely not involved in it." ”
Chu Xiu didn't believe it and said: "It's your city lord's mansion who organized this matter, and I don't believe it, and you didn't notice it at all?"
While Chu Xiu spoke, he also glanced at the old man next to him with his spare eyes.
But the old man didn't react at all.
Zhao Yan didn't speak, but his eyes were observing back and forth between Li Gang and the old man.
This Li Gang was able to survive easily between the two major forces, and of course Zhao Yan didn't believe that this city lord was that simple.
Li Gang didn't care about everyone's eyes, and still calmly defended: "The envoy is too high, and the lower is not just the two masters of the Tianyuan Small World who have invited him to do chores, and he has never been involved in the internal affairs of others!"
Chu Xiu listened to his words, stopped talking, turned around and left directly, and walked towards his residence.
Zhao Yan and the other powerhouses of the Immortal Sect also went around and hung the city lord in place.
"City Lord, what should we do next?" At this time, the old man of the Jindan realm standing beside the city lord Li Gang looked at Li Gang and asked.
"What else? Wait!" Li Gang looked at Chu Xiu who was going away with a solemn look and said, "They only saw that the city lord could remain calm in this situation, but they didn't know how to survive in the gap between the two great powers, without a good state of mind?"
"Lord of the City, are the inhabitants of the city letting them return now?" the old man continued.
"Don't worry, the situation is still unclear, there will definitely be a lot of undercurrents surging tonight, it depends on who can turn the tide before dawn. ”
"If they want to make contributions, we just need to be ourselves, it's not easy to survive!" Li Gang continued to sigh.
"Understood!" the old man replied with three words, and never spoke again.
Li Gang turned around and walked towards the City Lord's Mansion.
The night still maintained its inherent quietness, and almost no sound could be heard in the entire Tianyuan City.
No one knows how many undercurrents are hidden under this quiet night.
Between the two compounds of the Ji family and the Jiang family, which are close together, there are constantly people coming and going, but no sound comes out.
The powerhouses from other immortal sects also stayed in their residences, and no one walked around at will, but they couldn't sleep.
In a relatively luxurious mansion in the east of the city, Chu Xiu, Sun Liang and Fu Gang sat together, still discussing what happened today.
"Senior brother, you mentioned Uncle Shi to Jiang Shichong before, could it be that this matter was arranged by Uncle Shi?" Sun Liang spoke first.
Chu Xiu looked at Sun Liang and Fukuoka's faces respectively, pondered for a moment and said, "Do you know why I, Changxing Mountain, spared no effort to support the cultivation of Xianmen Jiuzhou?"
Fu Gang thought for a moment and replied, "Haven't we in Changxing Mountain been leading those low-level life planets to improve their immortal cultivation level?"
"Now that the seal of the earth has not been removed, and the immortal path is blocked, we in Changxing Mountain want to lead them to ensure that the immortal path is not cut off, and prepare for the lifting of the seal in the future. ”
Chu Xiu heard Fu Gang's answer, and then looked at Sun Liang, who was unresponsive, and knew that the two of them should have the same thoughts.
So he got up, walked to the window, looked at the quiet night and said, "Our level is too low, we are only the executors of the orders above, and we don't even have the opportunity for the teacher and uncle to enter the upper floor. ”
"I once asked the teacher the same question, and the teacher just smiled and told me to just carry out the order and not ask anything else. ”
"However, I learned that when he preached to those Xianmen monks, he often instilled in them a domineering thought. ”
The idea he conveyed was that in the world of cultivation, the strong are respected, and if you have strength, you can have everything, and those who go along will prosper and those who rebel will perish, and this idea has been deeply imprinted in the hearts of these monks. ”
"You have also seen that even Jiang Shichong and Ji Yunfeng, who have always been close to each other, have turned against each other because of this kind of thinking. ”
"From this point, Brother Wei guessed that the original intention of our Changxing Mountain to support the Earth cultivators so much may be to rule the Earth in the future. ”
Sun Liang and Fu Gang were puzzled after hearing this, and Fu Gang continued to ask: "Our Changxing Mountain is so powerful, even we, the lowest-level cultivators, can already stand at the top of the earth's immortal cultivation world. Is it still necessary for us to rule the earth?"
"That's right, these people from Xianmen Jiuzhou are now equivalent to surrendering to us, is it necessary for me to go further?" Sun Liang asked puzzled.
"Hehe!" Chu Xiu smiled and said, "How can we know what those graces above are thinking?"
"It's just that I guessed from the style of the teacher and the uncle that even if we in Changxing Mountain want to rule the earth in the future, we will not adopt a bloody method similar to Jiang Shichong. ”
"The styles of the teacher and the teacher are completely different, compared to the teacher's spring breeze and rain, the teacher is more fond of thunder. ”
"Uncle Shi is too superstitious about power, absolute power is an important condition for achieving the goal, but absolute power cannot solve all problems. ”
"Throughout the ages, how many practitioners who have been obsessed with power have lost themselves and ended up on the path of self-destruction. ”
"Today's Jiang Shichong is a vivid example!"
"Compared with the teacher's uncle, the brother still respects the teacher's spring breeze and rain!"
After Sun Liang and Fu Gang listened to Chu Xiu's words, they both nodded, and it was obvious that they also agreed with Chu Xiu's opinion.
"Then why does the teacher attach so much importance to that Zhao Beichen, and what kind of attitude does the teacher have towards Zhao Beichen?" Sun Liang then asked.
Hearing this question, Chu Xiu's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and then he replied: "You have also seen how different Zhao Beichen is, such a person, even we can see his extraordinary, let alone the teacher?"
However, the teacher did not say how extraordinary this Zhao Beichen was, he only said that he wanted us to respect him as much as possible when we were outside, but did not tell me why. ”
"I think, the teacher is going to make a good relationship!"
"Forming a good relationship? We in Changxing Mountain need to form a good relationship with a strong foundation, it's a bit unreasonable, right?" Fu Gang was even more puzzled.
"Hehe!" Chu Xiu chuckled twice again and said, "Senior Brother only saw that Zhao Beichen's realm was only Zhuji, but he didn't find that this person not only had a cultivation talent far beyond others, but also had an excellent understanding of people. ”
"It only took him a few months to go from an ordinary person to the realm of the fourth layer of foundation building, not to mention his talent. ”
"Now let's take a look at these people around him. ”
"That disciple of his, Qu Shengnan, is also a talented person who defends the sky, you have also seen this with your own eyes, is this just a coincidence?"
"And Xia Zhenting, he was originally sent by the spokesperson of the Ji family to assassinate Zhao Beichen, but he was received by Zhao Beichen under his command?"
"Xuanzhou Lin Liangtian was tortured by secret injuries for thirty years, but he was cured by Zhao Beichen, and Zhao Beichen also left Lin Liangtian's two sons in Qilang Mountain to practice, and he personally guided him. ”
"And the Great Elder of the Ming Zhou Ning Family, do you think he attaches great importance to this big competition? He walked out of the small world in order to visit Zhao Beichen specifically. ”
"A few days ago, our eyeliner also reported an important news to me, Zhao Beichen made such a big noise in the South Pacific, and it was closely connected to the place in the dense fog, and the dense fog was actually covered by an enchantment. ”
"And that enchantment level is very high, it is very likely to be at the true immortal level, do you know what this means?"
Sun Liang and Fu Gang listened to Chu Xiu's analysis, and the more they listened, the more frightened they became.
It wasn't until they heard the True Immortal level enchantment that the two of them even gasped.
"He still has such a background?" Sun Liang said in surprise.
"No one knows what is behind that True Immortal-level enchantment, but Zhao Beichen definitely knows, because now the world inside that enchantment already belongs to him. ”
"Those North American forces wanted to calculate Zhao Beichen in it, but they never thought that not only did they fail to achieve their goal, but they also lost control of that place, which is really ridiculous. Chu Xiu said with a sneer.
When Fu Gang heard this, he asked again in confusion: "Since Zhao Beichen has a True Immortal level background, why didn't he cultivate there but went to the world? Could it be that the worldly cultivation environment would be better than the True Immortal level cultivation environment?"
Of course, he would be puzzled, they couldn't be more familiar with the cultivation environment of the True Immortal level.
Because the Changxing Mountain where they are located is a world with true immortals.
The concentration of aura there is much richer than this small world of Yuanzhou, let alone the secular world outside.
"I don't know, maybe he has his reasons, in short, this Zhao Beichen is not simple. ”
"Do you remember those three women in Huangzhou?"
Sun Liang and the others nodded when they heard this.
Chu Xiu looked at the two of them and continued: "The teacher once said that those women in Huangzhou have this very special physique, and their empress's strength is even higher than that of the teacher, but their empress is not a cultivator. ”
"Huangzhou is called the Golden Island in the secular world, and she is a sacred place in the eyes of the supernatural people in the western world of the earth. ”
"And their empress of Huangzhou and the women of Huangzhou have never cared much about the worldly people, unless there is a major crisis in the Western world, they will appear. ”
This is also the reason why they have not participated in the Xianmen Competition for a long time. ”
"However, Her Majesty the Empress has a soft spot for Zhao Beichen, these women from Huangzhou came here, no one visited, not even our face, but they wanted to visit Zhao Yan, which is very worthy of scrutiny!"
Sun Liang and Fu Gang nodded, and then Sun Liang continued to ask: "Didn't you say that it was all because Zhao Beichen helped their empress in Nordic Ropa, so that she was appreciated by the empress?"
Hearing this, Chu Xiu's face changed slightly, and then replied: "Because of this, Zhao Beichen is even more worthy of attention. ”
"Think about it, what is hidden in the underground palace of Nordic Luopa? It's a monster from the outside world, a monster that even the empress of Huangzhou can't deal with, and it's actually solved with the help of Zhao Beichen, think about it, can you guess how Zhao Beichen solved it?"
Sun Liang and Fu Gang could only shake their heads, how could they think about it?
"That area, even we don't dare to set foot in easily, but Zhao Beichen can solve it, which has fully demonstrated that this Zhao Beichen does have a big secret. ”
"It's no wonder that the Xia family covets Zhao Beichen's secret. ”
"Then what should we do with Zhao Beichen next?" Fu Gang asked solemnly.
"Don't do it deliberately, as long as you keep it in this state, the teacher really hopes that Zhao Beichen can come to Changxing Mountain as a guest, let's wait and see, right?"
The two nodded.
......
The three Chu Xiu brothers analyzed Zhao Yan, but Zhao Yan didn't know anything about it, and even he didn't analyze himself like this.
At this time, Zhao Yan was lying on the sofa in the living room in a daze.
Of course, he just looked in a daze, but in fact he was thinking about what had happened today.
"It seems that I am really a spoiler. Zhao Yan thought to himself.
He remembered the previous events, as long as he participated in the big competition, none of them went smoothly.
This is the case with the Dragon and Tiger Mountain Tianwu Conference, and so is the Alien Conference, and now that they have come to Yuanzhou, so is this Xianmen Dabi.
It's as if wherever he goes, there will be a big mess.
"The city lord...... Are you involved in it?" Zhao Yan thought of the city lord Li Gang again.
That Li Gang was too calm, an ordinary person, no matter how strong a person is, it is impossible to maintain such a state of mind in the face of this kind of Jindan-level turmoil.
"The old man beside him is the big butler in the mouths of Jiang Huan and Jiang Shichong?"
"Since even his master Jiang Shichong is dead, why can he still follow the city lord so safely?"
These things are too puzzling.
"Could it be that the whole thing was not planned by Jiang Shichong, but this city lord and the chief steward?"
"It's impossible, a one-person city lord can only be a city lord for five years, and after five years, he will be replaced by someone else, and he is just a new city lord, but it seems that the old man is very respectful to the city lord?"
"There's definitely something left unfigured out here!"
"It's too much brain, I don't want to think about it, it has nothing to do with me anyway. ”
Before he knew it, Zhao Yan fell asleep.
......
Early the next morning, the young envoy from Changxing Mountain had already come to ask Zhao Yan to go to the Tianyuan War House.
"Well, has the matter between the Jiang family and the Ji family been resolved, and who will preside over today's big competition?" Zhao Yan asked curiously.
"It's the city lord from yesterday who is representing Yuanzhou in the big competition today!" replied the young man.
"Is it really him?" Zhao Yan seemed to have guessed this result a long time ago.
Zhao Yan became more and more convinced that yesterday's turmoil must have a great deal to do with this city lord.
Without asking anything more, Zhao Yan and the others packed up and rushed to the Tianyuan War House.
Yesterday's turmoil had no impact on the Tianyuan War House, and those spectators who came to watch the battle were still so enthusiastic.
It's as if yesterday's turmoil hadn't happened.
What's even more curious is that Jiang Hua of the Jiang family and Ji Ziyue of the Ji family still appeared in the team of the second round of the big competition.
They were unaffected by the unrest in the slightest.
Looking at the rostrum again, the pattern of the rostrum has also changed.
Today's rostrum is divided into two tiers, and there are five seats on the top floor, which should be prepared for Changxing envoys, Zhao Yan and Xia Zhenting.
On the lower floor, there are three seats, and at this moment, there are already three people sitting on the seats.
The one in the middle was the city lord Li Gang, and on either side of him, there was a strange young man.
Not only was Zhao Yan unfamiliar with them, but the people from the other Immortal Sect had not seen these two people either.
Even those spectators who came to watch the battle were talking about who these two young people were?
However, although Zhao Yan felt that these two people were strange, he could guess their true identities.
They should be the heirs chosen by the Ji family and the Jiang family of this generation.
However, after the identity of the heirs of the two families is confirmed, they will no longer be kept secret, and the other would-be heirs will also be banished to the secular world.
So how were these two chosen?
Of course, these are the affairs of the Ji family and the Jiang family, and it is useless for others to think too much.
Zhao Yan and Xia Zhenting came to the rostrum, and Chu Xiu, the envoy of Changxing, and others were already sitting there.
They were also unfamiliar with the two young men sitting below, but they did not express any opinions.
Like Zhao Yan's thoughts, they will not participate in other people's family affairs.
Seeing Zhao Yan coming, Li Gang stood up with two strange young men, bowed to Zhao Yan and said: "Thank you Mr. Zhao for your righteous action, so that my small world of Yuanzhou will not be ruined, Li Gang on behalf of the Jiang family and the Ji family, as well as the people of Yuanzhou, sincerely thank Mr."
Immediately after that, everyone at the scene stood up from their seats and saluted Zhao Yan.
This formation was too big, which made Zhao Yan a little dazed for a while, he hadn't felt the scene of being saluted by so many people at the same time for a long, long time.
The last time I experienced this kind of scene, it was in the distant Zilan Star Domain, above the Beichen Star, and I was still an Immortal Venerable at that time.
Not only Zhao Yan was surprised, but the three Changxing envoys, Lin Liangtian and other people from the other immortal sects were shocked.
They Yuanzhou people treat Zhao Yan as a benefactor.
It's okay to just have one or two people, but now everyone in the audience thinks so, and sincerely thanks Zhao Yan.
What's even more incredible is that Li Gang represents the entire small world of Yuanzhou.
What does this mean? Everyone in a small world is grateful to Zhao Yan, so is it the same as saying that these people are willing to do things for Zhao Yan in order to repay their gratitude?
This is the power of an immortal gate?
At this time, there was only one person in the audience with a bad face, and that was Qi Tonglin.
Before he came, he was thinking about how to make Zhao Yan ugly at the scene of Dabi, but now it's good, Zhao Yan not only didn't make a fool of himself, but also became the benefactor of the entire Yuanzhou?
But he couldn't show it, if he showed his dissatisfaction with Zhao Yan, it would be tantamount to offending all the people here, and he couldn't bear that kind of consequences.
Zhao Yan quickly woke up from his trance, looked at Li Gang and the two strange youths in surprise and said, "City Lord, why is this?
Li Gang straightened up and continued to say sincerely: "Mr. Zhao helped us quell a turmoil that threatened to sweep the entire small world, how can we not be grateful. ”
"What's more, you also saved our Holy Lord, the Holy Lord is the future of Yuanzhou, and our entire Yuanzhou is grateful for your kindness!"
"Holy Lord, where is the Holy Lord?" Zhao Yan asked curiously.
Hearing Zhao Yan's question, Li Gang stood up and raised his head, then turned behind him and shouted towards the gate, "Please Holy Lord!"
At this time, a majestic figure appeared at the gate of the Tianyuan War House.
"Jiang Huan?" Zhao Yan unconsciously called out the person's name.
Chu Xiu and the others also looked at the figure at the gate at this time in amazement, could Jiang Huan still be fine?
Jiang Huan at this moment and yesterday are like two people, not only does the whole person seem to have recovered as before, but the arrogance on his body is even worse than that of Jiang Shichong before.
As soon as Jiang Huan appeared at the gate, his eyes looked directly at Zhao Yan, who had not yet sat down on the rostrum, and knelt down on one knee directly, and said to Zhao Yan: "Mr. is my benefactor of Jiang Huan, and he is the benefactor of the entire Yuanzhou.
"Death to retribution, death to retribution. Death in return!"
The people at the scene also repeated Jiang Huan's words like crazy.
What's going on? The outsiders here are all confused?
"Wait!" Zhao Yan asked with a puzzled expression, "Who can tell the deity what happened?"
At this time, Li Gang looked at the old man at the edge of the rostrum and said, "Let's let the old benefactor talk about it!"
At this time, Zhao Yan looked at the old man on the edge.
He is the old man who stood beside Li Gang yesterday, since Li Gang also calls him a benefactor now, then he is the big butler in the mouths of Jiang Huan and Jiang Shichong.
Under the attention of everyone, the old man bowed to Zhao Yan, then stood up and looked at Jiang Huan and said, "This story is very long. ”
The old man's gaze shifted from Jiang Huan's body to the sky again, and then said: "The first Holy Lord made it clear when he was in Bintian, my son of Yuanzhou, when the body of earth and wood appears again, it will be the time when the Holy Lord will come again. ”
"For a long time, the Jiang family and the Ji family have been distinct, the Ji family is all earth-based physique, and the Jiang family is also wood-based. ”
"The people of Yuanzhou have been waiting for a person with a civil physique to appear for generations. ”
"A hundred years ago, a newborn born in the Jiang family was born, when the heavens and the earth had a vision, the sky was shining, the winter earth was full of grass, and the mountains were full of flowers. ”
"Both the Jiang family and the Ji family were ecstatic about the birth of this child, because this child had both earth and wood cultivation talents. ”
This is the fulfillment of the prophecy of the ancestors. ”
"However, the good times didn't last long, and the child was missing!"
No one knew where the child had gone, Ji Yunfeng thought that Jiang Shichong had killed the child, while Jiang Shichong thought that Ji Yunfeng had stolen the child. ”
Since then, the two heads of the family have had a disagreement. ”
But no one knew that the child was sent out of the small world by the old man. ”
Speaking of this, the old man looked at Jiang Huan with a loving expression on his face.
Jiang Huan looked at the old man with great respect.
The old man paused for a moment and then continued: "As the old man of the two families responsible for selecting the heirs, the old man knows very well the thoughts of the two family heads. ”
"Both of them have the ambition to unify Yuanzhou, but no one is willing to take the first step, because once they take the first step, they can't turn back, and there are only two of them, one destroys the other, and then one dominates. ”
Another result is that both families are doomed. ”
"But no matter what the outcome is, it's not what the old man wants to see. ”
And the appearance of this child made the two heads of the family firm their belief in unifying Yuanzhou. ”
Unfortunately, their firm belief is not to work hard to cultivate this child, but to use this child as a tool to gradually control another family, and finally achieve their goal of dominating the world. ”
"In this case, the old man made the decision to send the child out of the small world!"
"In order that one day in the future, this child can return as a king and turn the tide. ”
"Coincidentally, at this time, the two heads of the family found the old decay and asked me to help them plan their century-old plan. ”
So the old man planned all this. ”
"But the old man didn't expect that this long turmoil would be so dangerous that it would almost kill our Holy Lord. ”
Fortunately, he met Mr. Zhao, who not only helped him defeat Jiang Shichong, but also brought the Holy Lord's realm to the next level and reached the Jindan Great Perfection. ”
"Here, Lao Yu also represents all the living beings in Yuanzhou, thank you Mr. Zhao for your great kindness!"
The old man said, his legs bent with difficulty, and he was about to kneel.
At this time, Zhao Yan came to the old man's side in a flash, helped the old man up, and then said with a smile: "The old man's merits are immeasurable!"
