Chapter 60: The Imperial City of Qishan
Watching Zhu Zizai stuff the jade slip to Yuanwei, Cheng Wu sneered on the side: "Zhu Zizai, you have ruined the life of the little lame." But it's okay, this little cripple is a big thing that hurts me for three days, Senior He will kill him first, so as to help me vent my evil anger!"
"I'm afraid that you He Senior can't kill him!, but I can kill you first!" Zhu Zizai laughed, took out a green dragon halberd, and clicked a few times out of thin air, and in the panic, several young people behind He Qing disappeared one after another. Poor and clever Cheng Wu has escaped several deaths, but it is still difficult to save his life. And with those few attacks, Zhu Zizai's cultivation continued to rise, and finally reached the early stage of the Soul Condensation Realm!
He Qing's face gradually became solemn, "Zhu Zizai, you are hiding so deeply! I can't imagine that we haven't seen through you for decades! However, today you still can't escape death!"
He Qing said, taking out his weapon for the first time, which was a giant drum.
Zhu Zizai looked calm, "He Qing, you want to kill me, it's not as easy as you think, if you want me to die, you have to peel off your skin first!" After speaking, Zhu Zizai glanced back at Yuanwei. Yuan Wei understood the meaning, he clenched his fists and bowed deeply to the end, "Lord Zhu, farewell!"
Yuanwei left in a hurry with Mu Wei and others, and those villagers also dispersed in an uproar when they saw this, calling their relatives and friends, and packed up their soft and fled from the village overnight. After a while, the entire fishing village was left with only Zhu Zizai and He Qing after a while. He Qing knew that he would not be able to take down Zhu Zizi in a short period of time, so he had to let them leave.
Zhu Zizai saw it clearly in the end, on the one hand, he identified Yuanwei's character, and on the other hand, he also saw the prestige he gradually established among several people. Therefore, he entrusted his task to Motao, rather than his two men. In this way, no one in Yuanwei and his party will have any ill intentions against these two jade slips. Yuanwei knew the danger of the situation, although Zhu Zizai was a strong man in the Soul Condensation Realm, he was still not He Qing's opponent, and the glance before leaving contained his determination to stop He Qing with death. All Yuan Wei could do was to lead a few people to rush desperately, hand over one of the jade slips to Emperor Qishan, and then rush back to Yanjun City and hand over the other jade slip to the Great Elder Wan He.
Not long after, there was the sound of a huge drum behind him, and the sound wave swept like a violent wind, one wave stronger than the other, and the buildings and trees within a radius of several miles were toppled down layer by layer, and the place where it passed was a mess. Motoo and the others struggled to resist and almost fell off the aircraft. After an hour, the drums gradually became inaudible because of the distance. Only then can Motoo and the others be able to run wildly with peace of mind.
One night and one day later, at the sub-hour of the second night, Yuanwei and his party finally flew over the Imperial City of Qishan. The mountain stands like a sharp sword piercing the sky, the arrogant peak is more than 200 zhang, surrounded by several other attached mountains, like the stars and the moon reflect its majesty. The Imperial City of Taishan is built on the mountain, and it is on this mountain that it is built.
"I don't know where the emperor lives? At this moment, he is probably sleeping with his concubine in his arms, right?" Nie Rong'er seemed to be talking to herself and asking others, but her two eyes were staring at the two guards from Yanjun City.
"Come with us!" The two guards under Zhu Zizai were originally soldiers of the Pishan Empire, and they were personally appointed by the emperor to Yanjun City, so they naturally knew the layout of this Pishan Imperial City. They led the way and headed straight for the dormitory.
The Qishan Dynasty covers an area of 1,000 acres, and the size is almost the same as that of the Nie family. It's just that the buildings are splendid and full of royal majesty. The two guards led the people to land in front of a magnificent palace, and the guards guarding in front of the palace found a few people, and they were frightened at the moment, and they all raised their weapons and surrounded them.
"Your guests are here, all of you stand down!" a very magnetic male voice came from the hall. Immediately afterwards, an old eunuch opened the door of the temple with a lantern, and a middle-aged man walked out. On the surface, this person is in his forties, his face is like jade, his face is rich and dignified, he is wearing a golden dragon robe, but his gray hair is casually tucked behind his head, as if he has just been awakened from sleep. And what is even more surprising is that the spiritual power fluctuation on this person's body is obviously an immortal cultivator who gathers spirit realms.
Looking at the dress, Yuanwei and the others naturally knew that this was the emperor of the Qishan Empire, so they politely hugged their fists and saluted: "I've seen my emperor." ”
Like the Apocalypse Empire, the Qishan Empire is also a realm of mortals. Such an empire did not have much weight in the eyes of immortal cultivators, after all, in their eyes, ordinary mortals were as weak as ants on the ground. And the emperor of mortals is only a noble ant king. Yuanwei had heard that the Emperor of the Mountains was a good friend of immortal cultivators, so he had a strong national strength, and now he was surprised to see that the Emperor of Mount Tai was actually an immortal cultivator.
The two guards of Yanjun City knelt down and bowed, and whispered their missions, itineraries, and the names of Yuan Wei and the others. The emperor nodded from time to time, and finally let the eunuch lead the two to retreat as well.
The emperor smiled at Yuanwei and the others, "Come with me to a clean place to talk." As he spoke, he took out a gray spirit feather and flew to the top floor of the dormitory. Yuanwei and the others naturally didn't dare to slack off, and they followed one after another.
The dormitory was originally a five-story building, and the top floor was a cornicement loft raised by several giant dragon pillars. The attic has no stairs for going up and down, and seems to have been designed to exclude flightless mortals. There were several wooden tables and chairs in the attic, covered with a thick layer of dust, and it seemed that no one had been here for a long time.
The emperor swept his sleeves, and a breeze blew, and the dust on those tables, chairs and benches was swept away. "Everyone, please take a seat", beckoning everyone, the emperor looked at Yuan Wei again, "Little junior brother, your surname, I have left my master from Qingqiu Sect for more than thirty years, I don't know how my master is in his old man's health?"
Yuan Wei was excited, and the moment the emperor took out the spirit feather, he had already discovered that the gray spirit feather was exactly the same as his own spirit feather! Unexpectedly, his guess came true, this emperor of the Qishan Empire was really his senior brother.
Yuan Wei didn't know that his master, Elder Feng Ai, had accidentally encountered a gray peacock back then, and the peacock was in the moulting period, and several tail feathers fell off and were picked up by him. Later, Feng Ai discovered that the feather contained spiritual power, and it was a natural flying machine without forging, so he gave the feather to his two apprentices.
"Yuanwei has met Senior Brother, I worshiped under Master Feng Ai Elder four years ago, and then the sect was in turmoil, and Master arranged for me to go out to experience until now. Last time, I met a senior sister in the sect and said that everything was fine with the master. Yuan Wei saw that the emperor was his senior brother, and his words were even more respectful.
"My name is Jiang Li. "Jiang Li has been the emperor for many years, and his words and deeds reveal endless majesty.
Yuanwei saw the salute again, and introduced Mu Wei, Nie Rong'er and others to Jiang Li one by one. Jiang Li also smiled and bowed his head one by one, Jiang Li gave more respect to Nie Rong'er's sister and brother, "I didn't expect to see the descendants of Prince Nie today!"
The two sides had seen each other, and Yuan Wei had the opportunity to hand him a piece of jade slip, Jiang Li took the jade slip, and entered the spiritual power into it, and some messy words appeared in front of him mixed with the picture. Jiang Li took a cursory glance and hurriedly put away the jade slip. After being silent for a while, he let out a long sigh, "This jade slip in Lord Zhu Zizai analyzed the form of the Qishan Kingdom, he thinks that the Haoyang Hunter tentacles have reached out to the mortal realm, and he persuades me to give up the throne and my people, so that I may be able to save the lives of a family of all ages." Part of the reason why Lord Zhu Zizai rushed to the Imperial City from Yanjun City was because of my invitation, because the thousand-year-old foundation of the Qishan Kingdom was about to be destroyed, and I wanted to ask his old man to come back to help me. Unexpectedly, it was the mortal world that dragged down Lord Zhu Zizai, and I hurt him. ”
It turned out that Jiang Liyi had a history of thousands of years as the emperor of the Qishan Empire, and he himself had been on the throne for more than 50 years, but just recently, this originally stable emperor's position had twists and turns. One of his uncles secretly formed a private party and wanted to replace him. And behind this uncle, there was an unusually powerful force supporting it, which made Jiang Li uneasy, so he sent someone to Yanjun City for help, so the great elder sent the county guard Zhu Zizai.
Yuan Wei saw him sad, and couldn't help but persuade: "Senior brother is an immortal cultivator, why should he covet the glory and wealth of the world? ”
Jiang Li smiled gloomily: "Senior brother, you don't know, I sit on this throne, but I am not greedy for this glory and wealth. In the eyes of immortal cultivators, mortals are often the same existence as ants and locusts, but even ants and locusts are a kind of life, not to mention that they are originally human beings, and they are as intelligent, emotional, and dignified as immortal cultivators, but they lack the qualifications to cultivate and do not have extraordinary power. Although the vast majority of immortal cultivators disdain to be in the company of mortals, there are always some immortal cultivators who have the idea of enslaving mortals. Before I apprenticed to cultivate immortals, I was used to seeing the enslavement and demand of immortal cultivators for us, so I vowed to also cultivate immortals, wanting to change the fate of the empire with my own strength, but my qualifications are always limited, and gathering spirit realms is only the beginning of the path of cultivating immortals..."
If you are not in your position, you will not seek your own government, what Jiang Li talked about, Yuanwei never thought about it.
"Our Pishan Empire is friendly with Yanjun City, and that is because Yanjun City has given us enough dignity. Hundreds of years ago, there were a few Soul Condensation Realm immortal cultivators who wanted to forge spiritual weapons with the lives of mortals in the entire empire, but fortunately, Nie Wuchang's predecessors drove away those immortal cultivators with great might. From now on, we are willing to pay a fixed amount of spiritual materials every year. And some immortal cultivators in Yanjun City often go to the empire to experience the sophistication of the people in the world. To a certain extent, Yanjun City and the Qishan Empire are in a complementary relationship. However, my uncle, who grew up in the palace since he was a child, has never experienced the hardships of the world, and what he wants to do is to exchange the resources of the empire and even the lives of mortals for his own glory and wealth. Senior brother, can I let go?"
Yuan Wei was speechless, he saw sincerity and helplessness in Jiang Li's eyes.
"I know Elder He Qing and Zhu Zizai's predecessors very well. According to the comparison of their strengths, we only have about half a day, so what I want to do is to send you out of the Imperial City in this half a day!" Jiang Li finally decided.
