Chapter 017: Punishment on behalf of heaven

After countless wars, the Spiritual Power Continent is now divided into five great powers.

The northernmost near the Arctic ice field is the country of the Thousand Streams.

To the south of the country of Qianliu is the country of frost and the country of high mountains.

The east of the Frost Country faces the sea, and the west of the High Mountain Country is an endless wilderness.

Further south are the Tensheng Kingdom and the Seven Seas Alliance.

The Kingdom of Heaven is bordered by the Takayama Kingdom to the north, the Frost Country to the east, and the Seven Seas Alliance to the south.

The Seven Seas Alliance is an alliance of the Seven Great Island Nations.

The pinnacle of the Spiritual Power Continent is not the royal families of various countries, but the powerhouses of the Upper God Realm.

A single blow from a strong man in the Upper God Realm can wipe out tens of thousands of soldiers.

The Heavenly Dao is mysterious, invisibly restricting the birth of the powerhouse of the Upper God Realm.

In the Spiritual Power Continent, chaotic spiritual power fills the heavens and the earth, among which there are eight attributes of spiritual power: ice, fire, wind, thunder, water, wood, earth, and gold.

Correspondingly, there can only be eight powerhouses in the Upper God Realm, namely the God of Ice, the God of Fire, the God of Wind, the God of Thunder, the God of Water, the God of Wood, the God of Earth, and the God of Gold.

The Eight Gods no longer care about mundane disputes, and live in seclusion everywhere trying to explore the way of heaven and seek immortality.

In the past hundred years, the only time the eight gods have gathered was eighteen years ago.

A first-grade immortal master from the Seven Seas Alliance, because no one has fallen yet, the eight gods have not yet fallen, so they can't break through the immortal master realm. Seeing that his lifespan was about to end, the first-grade immortal master used the blood refining technique to devour countless undead, and actually broke the shackles of the Heavenly Dao and stepped into the Upper God Realm.

When the news broke, the world shook.

In order to cultivate the art of blood refining, there are mages and immortal masters in the five countries who worship under him and respect him as the god of blood.

The Blood God and his followers are known as the Blood God Cult by the Five Kingdoms.

In order to obtain the devouring of the undead, the Blood God Sect practiced the art of blood refining and provoked wars in various countries everywhere. Seeing the chaos in the world, the eight gods had no choice but to gather together and set up a divine punishment hall to punish the heavens.

The Ice God searched for the Blood God for two years, and finally found the Blood God in the Sea Country. The two gods fought from the land to the sea, and finally the blood god was fatally hit by the ice god, fell into the deep sea, and disappeared without a trace.

The Blood God devoured the souls of the deep-sea spirit beasts, repaired their injuries, and hibernated after going out to sea to avoid being detected by the Temple of Divine Punishment.

The Ice God was injured in the battle with the Blood God, and during the retreat and healing, he was betrayed. The Blood God, who had regained his peak strength, secretly attacked the Ice God.

The ice god tried his best to destroy the body and leave the soul away, so that the soul would not be devoured by the blood god.

The traces of the Eight Gods have always been ethereal, the blood god's attack on the ice god, the god punishment hall still does not know, and the world thinks that the ice god is living in seclusion somewhere to enlighten.

The Blood God has been dormant for nearly sixteen years, secretly cultivating power in the Sea Kingdom, wanting to confront the Divine Punishment Temple.

Guo Xiaoren's Mansion is on Ma Rui, and Xu Kun of Gaoshan Country are all Blood God Sect disciples.

Xu Kun and Ma Rui secretly colluded.

Xu Kun used the undead soul control technique to control the colorful snake to cross the Jialing Mountains, and Ma Rui coaxed Guo Xiaoren to send troops to capture the colorful snake.

All conspiracies, just to provoke war, in order to get more undead devouring.

As the name suggests, the country is full of alpine terrain and barren land, and it is difficult for grain production to support the expenses of the people and the army in China. However, Gaoshan is rich in domestic mineral deposits, not only gold, silver, copper, and iron ore, but also has a very high jade output.

The mountain country is short of food, not money, and even more so weapons and warriors.

Tiansheng is mostly plains in China, the land is fertile, the grain output is extremely high, and the domestic consumption is not exhausted, so it is exported to other countries.

Gaoshan country borders Tiansheng country and has always relied on Tiansheng to sell grain abroad.

Eighteen years ago, Tiansheng Kingdom was instigated by the Blood God Sect disciples, and the price of grain in the high mountain country rose sharply.

Takayama has negotiated many times, but in the end no consensus has been reached.

The peace talks failed, and on the occasion of the autumn harvest, the army of the Gaoshan Kingdom entered the Lanping Pass of Tiansheng State, burning and plundering all the way. The soldiers and civilians of Tiansheng Kingdom were furious, and they raised the strength of the whole country to fight a bloody battle with the Gaoshan Country.

The war between the two countries lasted for half a year, until the establishment of the Divine Punishment Temple, and the eight gods intervened in mediation before the war was quelled.

The Blood God Cult was destroyed, and the Temple of Divine Punishment faded out of the world's sight. Tiansheng Kingdom and Gaoshan Kingdom also changed new kings one after another, and Helian Tie and Murong Ting gradually resumed trade relations between the two countries.

However, due to the word of mouth of the people, the vicious atrocities committed by the Gaoshan Kingdom in Tiansheng are still hated by the people of Tiansheng Country.

When Murong Ting was a prince, he led the troops to chase down the remnants of the Blood God Sect, unfortunately fell off the cliff and disappeared for half a year. After the coup d'Γ©tat of the Gaoshan royal family, Murong Ting's biological father and mother and brothers were all killed by the clan uncle.

Murong Ting, who was living in seclusion, heard the news by chance, and he was burned inside, and he made up his mind to return to Star Picking City.

After some secret operation, Murong Ting married the daughter of the general Zhang Jinming. Murong Ting promised to regain the throne and crown Zhang as queen. The son of the Zhang family was established as the crown prince.

Uncle Clan's new policy was unstable, the general temporarily defected, and Murong Ting regained the throne.

Murong Ting, who ascended the throne as king, was angry because his entire family was killed, and ordered a complete purge of the rebellion. For a while, the country in the mountains was full of blood, and the corpses were piled up into mountains.

or because the killing was too heavy at that time, Murong Ting has not moved his troops since then.

Xu Kun has been lurking in the mountain country for a long time, and he knows that Murong Ting is difficult to provoke, so he spends all his thoughts on the eldest prince Murong Hao.

After the king of Gaoshan, the Zhang family has no heirs, and Murong Ting has never set up a crown prince.

The eldest prince Murong Hao and the third prince Murong Ning were born to two concubines respectively, and they have been secretly competing for the position of the crown prince.

In the garrison of Lanping Pass of Tiansheng Country, there are also hidden Blood God Sect disciples, and the guards are affected by it, and they have bullied many caravans coming and going on the border.

At the instigation of Xu Kun, Murong Hao was anxious to establish military merits, and asked Murong Ting to fight many times, wanting to lead troops to attack Lanping Pass.

Murong Ting was reluctant to start a war lightly, and wanted to send an envoy to Tiansheng Kingdom to communicate about Lanping Pass.

Under Murong Hao's strong recommendation, Murong Ting sent Xu Kun over.

The Gaoshan Kingdom delegation visited Tianji Academy, and Linfeng Xianzun sent Linjiang Xianzun to receive it.

In the Heavenly Dao Palace, Linjiang Immortal Zun sits on a cloud chair. There are five chairs on the left side below, and the five disciples under the Linjiang Immortal Venerable are seated.

Jiang Lin of Marigold Garden sat in the first chair, and Lu Wei of Guixin Garden sat in the second chair.

Jiang Lin is Jiang Yan's aunt, her mana is strong, she is already at the peak of the first-class mage realm, and her strength is a few points stronger than Lu Wei.

Helian Yu and Jiang Yan stood behind Jiang Lin, and Hua Feixue stood behind Lu Wei.

Xu Kun entered the hall with the Gaoshan State delegation, greeted Linjiang Xianzun politely, and took everyone to their seats.

He got straight to the point and smiled at Linjiang Xianzun: "The main purpose of the envoy to Tiansheng Kingdom is to communicate about the matter of Qi Cheng, the guard of your country's Lanping Guard, and this matter has been presented to His Majesty the King of your country." As for the visit to Tianji Academy, it is another matter. ”

Linjiang Immortal Venerable smiled: "Master Xu wants to ask something, but it doesn't hurt to say." ”

Xu Kun stood up, stood with his hands in his hands, and walked to the center of the Heavenly Dao Palace, his expression was extremely arrogant, as if he wanted to deliberately provoke the people of the Heavenly Machine Academy.

He slowly walked around the center of the Heavenly Dao Palace, and said as he walked: "I also arrived at the embassy of Shengxuan City, and I just received a message from the flying birds of Star Picking City. The letter said that there were rumors that His Royal Highness, the third prince of our country, had a colorful snake and was booby-trapped by the mage of Tiansheng Kingdom near the border between Jialing and Fengzhou. I didn't want to believe it, so I sent someone to the Jialing border to investigate the matter, so as to clear up the misunderstanding between the two countries. But I never thought about it, but after a check, I confirmed the matter. ”

Speaking of this, he turned to look at Linjiang Immortal Venerable and chuckled: "According to the information below, the person who killed the Colorful Snake is a mage named Lu Wei from the Heavenly Machine Academy, I wonder if Linjiang Immortal Venerable can know about this?"
