Chapter 186: Coming Arrogantly
After Mu Chen left Wuji Palace, he began to do the so-called tasks of the rivers and lakes everywhere, although with his previous temperament, he would not spend that time to be chivalrous, this is not his style at all, the reason why he cultivates is to make himself stronger and stronger, and he has no chivalrous heart.
But for the sake of those sect contributions, he had to put on a mask of hypocrisy on himself and force himself to do some good deeds, in order to just have the qualifications for the sect assessment, so that he could have the opportunity to become an inner disciple again or even become a true disciple.
Half a year passed in a flash, Mu Chen walked around, but did a lot of good things, thinking that the sect's contribution points should be almost enough, so he was ready to do the most important thing for him.
And Zhang Ling has also practiced chivalry and righteousness in the past half a year, while cultivating silently, and the realm has also reached the bottleneck of the God Transformation Realm, and he is only one step away from breaking through the Parasitic Realm.
But at this time, there was only less than half a month left before the sect assessment, Zhang Ling still returned to the royal city of the Shu Dynasty, and he felt that Mu Chen might be almost there.
On the day when Zhang Ling was ready, he stood on top of the city pass of the dynasty, but he saw a lot of sword qi training in the north of the air, at first he thought that Mu Chen had brought people here, and he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, and then he got closer to see that those were the disciples of Fanxin Yuan.
He happily stepped up to see Yiqing and Yu'er smiling towards him.
"Childe, I'm here, isn't it timely?" Yu'er came to Zhang Ling's side and said mischievously.
"Senior brother, all five of us are here, as well as Senior Sister Chen. Yi Qing also flew over and said with a smile.
Zhang Ling was very relieved to see these female disciples who had come all the way, and with their help, he had more confidence.
"Hailing, you are also here, it may be a little dangerous this time, but I will definitely protect you, of course, and your senior sister Yiqing will also protect you. ”
Zhang Ling saw the sea spirit behind Yu'er, and greeted him with a smile, which made Yu'er next to him have a little emotion and pouted.
"Okay, Senior Sister Yu'er, Senior Brother and Senior Sister Chen are childhood sweethearts, and it's normal for him to care about her, just like my Senior Sister, I also care about Senior Sister Chen, let's go down quickly, go to the royal city of the Shu Dynasty to see, maybe there will be a lot of fun." ”
Yiqing knew Yu'er's character too well, so he quickly pulled her eyes back and motioned to go down and play. As soon as she heard that there was something fun, Yu'er immediately came to her senses, and the bad mood before disappeared.
Looking at the figure of Yu'er and Yiqing falling hand in hand to the city gate, Zhang Ling smiled lightly: "Hai Ling, as well as all the junior sisters of Fanxin Yuan, let's go down too! I have already told the King of Shu, he will definitely entertain you well." ”
Everyone went down with their swords, and after coming to the top of the city gate, they looked back at the palace treasure hall behind them, the wide and prosperous streets, and the endless flow of people, all of which were extremely curious.
"Everyone, I will take you to the palace, the king of Shu is already waiting in the palace. Zhang Ling saw that everyone was very interested, so he said enthusiastically.
A few people were in the sky above the palace again, and many palace maids were excited when they saw it, saying that they had finally seen the immortals, but they didn't know that those were the distinguished guests that the King of Shu was going to receive.
Coming to the main hall of the palace, everyone took their seats in turn, Zhang Ling also introduced the origin of everyone to the King of Shu, and the King of Shu and Zhao Yan were also very welcome, and they had been toasting them.
"All the women of the Wei Dynasty can come to our Shu Dynasty today to help, the widow is really grateful, my Shu Dynasty is in decline, the national strength is weakening, today's hospitality is not good, I hope you don't be surprised. ”
The King of Shu sat on the throne and politely toasted to the female disciples of Fanxinyuan, although he was the king of the Shu Dynasty, and the other party was only a disciple of some sects, but after all, people came to help him, although he didn't know if Mu Chen would really come to find trouble, in terms of this friendship alone, it was also worthy of his King Shu to treat him with national courtesy.
"The King of Shu is serious, our Wei Dynasty and the Shu Dynasty have been friends for generations, and they have always been allies, even if there is no invitation from Senior Brother Zhao, our Fanxinyuan will come to help, and the King of Shu does not have to see each other like this. ”
Yi Qing saw that the King of Shu respected their sisters very much, and also had a good impression of him, so he got up and said decently.
Seeing this, the King of Shu was also full of smiles, nodding frequently, and admired the female disciple Yiqing very much.
"Yu'er, why didn't Li Huan come with you?" At the wine table, Zhang Ling leaned into Yu'er's ear and asked in a low voice.
"Oh, I said before that I was going to go to the rivers and lakes for what sect to contribute points, but don't worry, I gave him a communication talisman of Fanxin Yuan, and I have already informed him, so I guess he should be on his way here now. ”
Yu'er raised her wine glass and touched it with Zhang Ling with a smile, and then whispered the same.
"That's good, one more person has more strength. ”
"Ling Shao, what are you afraid of? Didn't Mu Chen say that his cultivation had been greatly reduced? besides, you are so sure that he will come to trouble the Shu Dynasty?"
Yu'er looked at Zhang Ling's worried expression and asked puzzled.
Zhang Ling saw that Yu'er was very skeptical, so he said patiently: "Mu Chen is very scheming, I think he hasn't seen him for three years, he must have already recovered his previous strength, maybe it will be more powerful than before, we have no choice!"
"Hmph, I'm not afraid, I'm in the late stage of the Transformation Realm now, as long as he dares to come, I will beat him all over the ground looking for teeth and calling grandma. Yu'er pouted and said very angrily.
"Yu'er, you have to listen to me this time, be careful in everything, don't be impulsive, I will definitely protect you. Zhang Ling still felt that Yu'er was too underestimated, so he kindly reminded.
But as soon as Zhang Ling's words fell, a loud noise came from outside the main hall, which shook the floor, and the moment everyone panicked, Zhang Ling immediately sensed the danger.
"Zhao Yan, leave here with your father first!" In the panic of the palace maids and guards, Zhang Ling hurriedly shouted at Zhao Yan opposite.
The next moment, he hurriedly took the people of Fanxin Yuan to the outside of the hall, and after going out, he saw that on the city gate at the end of the royal city, half of the walls had collapsed, and in a ruin, there was a ripple in space.
"What's that?" Yi Qing exclaimed when she noticed the strangeness in front of the city gate.
"Sending the Void Realm?" Zhang Ling was well-informed, and as soon as he saw the ripples in the space, he knew that the person who came was a powerhouse in the Void Realm, and he couldn't help but have a trace of inexplicable worry.
"Yiqing, Yu'er, don't act rashly, take Hai Ling and they hide first, I'll go and meet him first!" Zhang Ling knew that the comer must be, so he let them hide in the dark first, after all, it is not something they can deal with, and he flew to the city pass with the sword.
And when he came to the spatial ripples, he noticed a familiar aura seeping out of it, and he couldn't help but smile and said, "Mu Chen, it seems that I expected it well, you are here after all?"
Hearing Zhang Ling's words, the spatial ripples immediately became intense, and the ripples violently rhythmized, knowing that a crack appeared in it.
Then there was something very familiar to Zhang Ling in the crack, the Red Moon Wheel.
Immediately after, a white-haired man with a cold face walked out of the spatial ripples step by step.
"Zhao Yan, I haven't seen you for three years, can you live happily?" Seeing Zhang Ling, who had not been seen for a long time, Mu Chen's cold and ruthless face at first bloomed in an instant, and an evil smile appeared on his face again, it seemed that he hadn't seen him for three years, and he still hadn't gotten rid of the shackles of demonic energy.
Seeing that Mu Chen's demon was angry, his eyes were cold and evil, and then he looked at the collapsed city wall next to him, and there was a spirit sword inserted on it, Zhang Ling knew that he would not achieve his goal this time, and he vowed not to give up.
"Senior Brother Muchen, let's say, what is the purpose of coming here so solemnly? Could it be that you want my Zhao Yan's life because of what happened last time?"
Zhang Ling saw that the matter had come to this point, and there was no need to say too much nonsense, so he directly asked the other party's intentions, and if he really couldn't do it, he would have to save the lives of those people today.
"No, no, no, I think Senior Brother Kui has misunderstood, Senior Brother came today, not to ask for anyone's life, but simply want to have a discussion with Senior Brother before the sect assessment, after all, there are too many rules in the sect, and it is not easy for the two of us to let go of it, now we will use this royal city as a ring and have a good exchange, how about it?"
Mu Chen slowly walked in front of Zhang Ling, raised his eyebrows, and said arrogantly, probably because he felt that Zhang Ling's realm was still in the realm of transforming into gods, so he had no fear and increased his confidence.
"Okay, since my junior brother wants to compete with me, I will accompany you, but you came here today for this?" Zhang Ling also stepped forward, looked directly into Mu Chen's eyes, and asked questioningly.
Mu Chen saw Zhang Ling's eyes, suddenly smiled, and then raised the corners of his mouth, and said softly: "Of course it's not just for this, I still have something I want to ask Senior Brother Zhao, that is, where is the real Zhao Yan?"
Zhang Ling didn't expect his expectations to be perfect, this Muchen really came for the Shu Dynasty, they Duan Dynasty has always regarded Wei and Shu as a thorn in the side, and has always wanted to get rid of it quickly, if he finds out that Zhang Ling is pretending to be Zhao Yan's identity, it is not only Zhang Ling will be punished by the cliff, but even the Shu Dynasty will suffer, Duan Dynasty will definitely talk about this matter and raise troops to capture the Shu Dynasty.
"I don't know what you're talking about? Didn't you say you wanted to fight me? Then let's start, in a day or two, everyone will return to Wufu Cliff to participate in the assessment, so I hope this battle won't last too long, what do you say?" Zhang Ling avoided Mu Chen's questioning and directly challenged Mu Chen.
"Okay, just like me, I also want to know if there is anything that has surprised my junior brother in the past three years?" Mu Chen frowned at first, because he didn't expect Zhang Lingming to know that he was in the realm of paraseism, and he was not afraid to accept the challenge.
Then he felt that this must be Zhang Ling's delaying tactic, in order to let the real Zhao Yan escape, so he suddenly laughed, "Okay, if you want to save them, it depends on whether you have the strength to do so, and when you are solved, I will go and find out the real Zhao Yan! ”
"What? You actually arranged the Duan Dynasty army?" Zhang Ling was shocked by Mu Chen's words, he really didn't expect Mu Chen to have this backhand.
"That's right, you're afraid? No matter who wins or loses the contest between us, in three hours, the Duanchao army will wave southward and come straight to the royal city of the Shu Dynasty, maybe in less than two days, this will become the land of the Duanchao. ”
Mu Chen's face was proud, as if he felt that he had won the battle.
"There is no reason to attack the city, you dare to do this?" Zhang Ling still didn't believe it, and asked again.
But when Mu Chen heard this, he smiled again, "From the beginning, do you want to start from the beginning? When I defeat you, find the real Zhao Yan, and then tell the world about the conspiracy between you, do you think we will have no reason to attack the city? I'm afraid that the other three dynasties will also despise this kind of behavior of the Shu Dynasty and come to capture the Shu Dynasty and get a piece of the pie, right?"
"Besides, it doesn't take three hours to defeat you at all, maybe one stick of incense will be enough!"
In the face of Mu Chen's arrogance, Zhang Ling was still extremely calm, and when he was sure that Mu Chen did not lie to him, he already had a plan in his heart, that is, within three hours, Mu Chen must be defeated, and let the army of the Duan Dynasty take the initiative to withdraw from the territory of the Shu Dynasty.
"Since you're so confident, come on!"
