Chapter 539: More than that
Of course, this is just the result of the private discussion of the five people, and it is naturally impossible for the ordinary leader to know, even if he knows, he probably doesn't dare to have any ideas, not to mention that it is only half of the benefit, but compared to the terrifying wealth of the Empire in the Easy Palace, it is already very amazing.
The reason why these five people came together and took the lead in forming this alliance was not for the sake of benefit in the final analysis, seeing that the patriarch of the Yu clan had paid such a huge price and was also competing for the title of alliance leader, the other four simply gave it to him, but how did they know that the true ambition of the patriarch of the Yu clan was far more than that.
The tentacles of the two imperial capitals of the Xiaoyao Palace, which originally penetrated into the bloody war and breaking the sky, have all been cleared within this month, and those sects and forces that have been secretly controlled by the Xiaoyao Palace have all surrendered under the incomparable strength of the Fourth Empire.
In the eyes of the Fourth Reich, these things originally belonged to them, and it was a matter of course to take them back into their own hands, so their desires were not satisfied at all, and they were even forced into the Cloud Battle Emperor.
For a while, there was a stalemate between the Xiaoyao Hall and the Fourth Reich, today you took away a few sects, and tomorrow I will rob them back, and no one can help anyone back and forth.
In the blink of an eye, a year has passed, and seeing that his time is getting less and less, Zhu Lun is still calm on the surface, but his heart is gradually becoming anxious.
"If I can live for another twenty years, no, even if it is only ten years, the situation will definitely not develop to this level, and the seeds I have buried in the other two imperial capitals have not yet reached the time when they will sprout and bear fruit. Don't...... Is it really too reluctant?"
Looking at the wall with a simple map of the Cloud Battle Imperial Capital, Zhu Lun's brows furrowed.
Originally, according to Zhu Lun's plan, he planned to deal a heavy blow to the power of the Fourth Empire in the Yunzhan Imperial Capital, and the situation was indeed developing in the direction he expected.
After a year of gestation, the real war finally broke out not long ago!
In that battle, the Xiaoyao Hall invested thirty low-level Venerables, twelve high-level Venerables, and as many as one hundred and twenty Martial Kings.
This amount was obviously decided by Zhu Lun after weighing it again and again, this was already a critical point that the emperor could accept, and any more martial king might be punished.
This is actually a trap planted by Zhu Lun, as long as the number and quality of the strong men dispatched by the Fourth Reich side are a little more than their own in this battle, then the side of the Free Palace will win this battle without a fight. After the Fourth Empire's vitality is greatly damaged, the Hall of Freedom can even invade their imperial capital in one fell swoop, and thus lay the foundation for victory.
The bottom line in the emperor's heart was gradually figured out by Zhu Lun after spending more than thirty years, he believed that it was absolutely impossible for the five old guys on the enemy side to know this secret, and seeing the enemy step by step into his trap, Zhu Lun even felt that the overall situation had been decided.
However, at that last moment, when the decisive battle was about to begin, most of the strong men on the side of the Fourth Reich retreated, and the remaining strength was even worse than that of the Loose Palace, which was really unexpected by Zhu Lun.
Immediately afterwards, another variable appeared, the five giants of the Fourth Empire even disregarded their identities at all, hid their own aura, and pretended to be ordinary king-level powerhouses suddenly burst out, although Zhu Lun was one step ahead of the other party's conspiracy.
However, the top powerhouses on the side of the Xiaoyao Hall had already lost several of them, and even Xuan Xuan was severely damaged, but fortunately, his body charm was not damaged, otherwise Zhu Lun would not know how to explain to Zhao Xian.
"Damn, how could they see through this plan, we are all completely secret, we have been planning for a whole year, and it fell short at the last moment, it's really hateful, hateful!"
In the Xiaoyao Palace, Pei Yuanshu yelled again and again, and the last punch smashed on the wall, in the previous general battle, he was also affected a little, at this time, his left arm was tightly wrapped in bandages, and there were bursts of pungent herbal smells constantly emanating from it.
"At the time of the Great War that day, those strong men were divided into six parts by us, and they were secretly brought over, and before the decisive battle broke out, no one could know how many of us were! What's more, they didn't know that we were using the bottom line in the emperor's heart to calculate them.
Their every move was indeed carried out according to the prediction of Staff Zhu before, so how could they suddenly change at the last moment?
Hei Mang also frowned tightly, very uncomfortable, and the rest of the people looked similar to him, only the pale Xuan Scales was still sitting in the corner, his eyes closed and secretly healing.
The defeat of this battle is definitely an extremely painful blow to the side of the Xiaoyao Palace, because of the existence of Zhu Lun before, the Xiaoyao Hall is almost synonymous with invincibility, in the Yunzhan Imperial Capital, the Xiaoyao Hall standing on the top of the Bapin Array Mountain is simply as inviolable as if it has been deified, but this time, the undefeated aura has been broken......
"Of course, the people of the Fourth Reich did not know my plans, but there was one person who could see it. ”
Zhu Lun was still full of confidence, but the heavy fatigue sticking out of his eyes was getting stronger and stronger, and at this time he was still shaking the fan made of banana leaves, and said slowly.
"Could it be that in this world, there will be someone smarter than Staff Zhu?!" Pei Yuanshu was stunned when he heard this, and subconsciously asked rhetorically.
"He doesn't have to be smarter than me, because he already knows where the bottom line in the emperor's heart is, because he is an emperor himself. ”
As soon as Zhu Lun said this, everyone instantly showed a shocked look, and even Xuan Yan couldn't help but open his eyes and look at him.
"The Emperor of the Bloody War?!"
Although everyone was far less intelligent than Zhu Lun, they were not fools, and they immediately understood who Zhu Lun was talking about.
"Hehe, in order to succeed, I did whatever it takes, even the emperor calculated it, but I didn't expect that it would fail in the end because of the emperor. ”
Zhu Lun was noncommittal, but it was not difficult to see from his laughter that it was obviously a tacit acquiescence.
"Why did the Blood War Emperor do this? This is completely inconsistent with his noble status?" Elder Canglang still couldn't believe this result, and his expression was a little dazed.
"As the youngest emperor, maybe he hasn't really achieved transcendence, he probably doesn't want to see his imperial capital controlled by our Xiaoyao Hall in the dark. ”
Zhu Lun said.
"Then what should we do next, we have suffered heavy losses in this battle, those few old people in the Fourth Empire who don't repair and completely ignore their identity, if we carry out a sneak attack next time, there will be only a few top powerhouses left on our side, if there is too much difference in the number of top combat power, we will really lose this battle. ”
Elder Benshan sighed and said with a sad face.
After the sound of this voice outside the door, everyone looked at each other, confused.
"I haven't heard Brother Zhao Xian say that he has any other apprentices?"
Pei Yuanshu scratched his scalp and looked puzzled.
"What kind of strength is that person?"
Zhu Lun also woke up in contemplation and asked out loud.
"According to one of the Silver Ding Elders, he should be a Martial King. ”
"In that case, bring him here, with Xuan Scales, a martial king can't make the slightest waves, not to mention, I'm also very curious, whether he is Zhao Xian's apprentice. ”
Hei Mang smiled and said to Zhu Lun.
"Well, bring him in. Zhu Lun nodded and said to the door.
"Yes!"
After the voice received the command, it disappeared in an instant.
At the bottom of this thousand-foot-high eight-rank array mountain, there is a small teleportation array that can reach the peak in an instant, for the eight-rank formation master, as long as the funds are sufficient, there is no difficulty in building this kind of close-range teleportation array, and the Xiaoyao Hall is precisely the master who is not bad for money.
So in just a few moments, the voice outside the door sounded again.
"Staff Zhu, people have already been brought. ”
"Well, come in. ”
Zhu Lun answered, and then everyone's eyes were looking towards the door, and after the door was opened, a middle-aged man with a resolute face and a tall and strong figure appeared in front of everyone, and the most eye-catching thing about this person was his eyes.
Because his eyes are ice blue, like sapphires buried in polar glaciers for tens of thousands of years, people can't help but admire at one glance.
"Such beautiful eyes. ”
Pei Yuanshu couldn't help but whisper.
"What's your name? You said you were Lord Zhao Xian's apprentice, but what evidence do you have?"
Zhu Lun looked this person up and down before asking.
"My name is Xue Yan, I was rescued by the master in the border of the demon country, the master took pity on me, accepted me as an apprentice, and took me to the Eagle Fall Cliff and handed it over to Grandpa Jin Yun, if you talk about evidence, I don't know if this Snow Moon Sword counts?"
Snow Eyes palmed his hand, and an ice-blue giant sword with a height of nearly two meters had already appeared in his palm.
This giant sword was a weapon of Zhao Xian's very early period, and most of the people present had never seen it, but there were two exceptions.
"Let me see!" After seeing the Xueyue Sword, Pei Yuanshu and Hei Mang stood up together, walked to Xueyan, and carefully looked at the giant sword in his hand.
"That's right, it's indeed Brother Zhao Xian's sword back then, what do you see, Master?"
After a long time, Pei Yuanshu nodded.
"Every piece of the best black gold divine weapon will have a unique mark at the last moment when it is cast, so it is basically impossible to forge the best black gold divine weapon, well, it should be right. ”
Hei Mang also nodded after making sure again.
At this point, everyone's gaze at Xue Yan became softer, after all, Xue Yan, as a disciple of Zhao Xian, can be said to be higher than anyone else in the current Yunmang Palace, after all, even if it is Zhu Lun, his identity is just a staff member of the hall master, the same level as Elder Jin Lu.
However, Zhu Lun is cautious by nature, even if Pei Yuanshu and Hei Mang have already determined that this giant sword is indeed from Zhao Xian's hand, it is impossible for him to fully trust Xue Yan, let alone hand over the real power of the Xiaoyao Hall to him, unless Zhao Xian personally admits it, Zhu Lun will really believe it.
"Where's Master? I want to see him. ”
Su Yue and Zhao Xian entered the Tianyu Sect together, and Canglang and the others naturally knew her. Moreover, Su Yue followed Zhao Xian's side back then, completely playing the role of an attendant, and rarely had the opportunity to show his face, and the people who knew Su Yue's existence could not be anyone else except for the four elders and more than three hundred disciples who survived from Tianyu Sect.
So when Xue Yan said Su Yue's name, everyone's only trace of suspicion about him disappeared in an instant, of course, except for Zhu Lun, he would only believe the facts he had seen with his own eyes.
Speaking of the more than 300 disciples of the Tianyu Sect back then, now the worst ones have also entered the level of the Martial Sect, their loyalty is beyond doubt, as the core members of the Xiaoyao Palace, they were placed in major important places by Zhu Lun, and the rapid development of the Xiaoyao Hall is also inseparable from their silent efforts.
