"Report, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was ambushed on the road and his whereabouts are unknown!"

The hurried sound instantly stirred up the originally quiet tent. Jiang Xiao, the crown prince of Jiang State, is the prince of the Great Jiang Kingdom and the first master of the Jiang Dynasty.

Jiang Xiao's realm of "Martial King" ranks among the top three in the five countries of the entire southern border, and such a trivial matter as quelling the rebel party should not have come in person. Anyway, at the same time as the rebellion, there was a plague in the northern region of the Great Jiang Kingdom, and the king Jiang Qing sent the second prince Jiang Xiong to the northern region. The plague must be cured, and the traitors must be quelled. Jiang Xiao took over the second brother's class to quell the rebellion in the south.

Half a day later...

Jiang Xiao's body was found, and the first master of Jiang Guo was thrown in the woods by the sea at will, but there were no scars caused by sharp weapons, but even the Yuan Shen had already dissipated. All the joints of the body were shattered. Bone crushes pierced the skin, and blood soaked the surrounding dirt.

The prince died, the white banner fought for ten miles, the whole country was immersed in a sad atmosphere, the king Jiang Qing was furious, and sent the warriors and troops to the South China Sea, vowing to avenge the murder of his son, but the strange thing is that overnight, all the rebels in the South China Sea disappeared strangely.

The Great Jiang Country is the southernmost of the five countries in the entire southern border. The southern region is bitterly cold, bordering the South China Sea in the south, and 100,000 mountains in the west, and there are countless medicinal materials and minerals in the mountains, of course, coexisting with wild beasts and demon beasts.

The southern realm can only be regarded as a wild land in the Martial Continent. Hundreds of schools of thought coexist on the continent, and thousands of arts compete, but almost all the strong people cultivate the power of martial arts, and the power of martial arts is the special energy possessed by the continent of martial arts.

Through the perception of themselves and nature, people absorb the power of martial arts, temper themselves, and the cultivation of the power of martial arts has been continuously multiplied and formed by the efforts of countless generations, forming different absorption methods, which are called exercises.

The exercises are divided into three levels according to their strength, strength, and strength, and determine the speed at which they absorb force.

And each person's system determines the attribute of cultivation, which is called the martial vein, and the martial vein is divided into five basic attributes: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, and the cultivator who has the purest and single attribute of the five attributes. The faster the cultivation speed, for example, a cultivator with a single metallic martial vein would have a cultivation speed ten times faster than a cultivator with five attribute spirit veins at the same time. Jiang Yan's uncle Jiang Xiao is a martial vein with a single water attribute, so Jiang Xiao can break through the martial arts at the age of thirty and become a martial king.

What is better than the qualification of a single attribute martial vein is the mutated martial vein with attributes of ice, wind, and thunder, and the cultivation speed is five times that of a single attribute martial vein, and it is rare to find one among the millions of cultivators in this kind of martial vein, Zhang Guo of the entire five countries in the southern border appeared once twenty years ago, and he became a martial commander at the age of ten, and was directly accepted as a disciple by the super sect in the center of the continent and taken away from the southern realm. And Zhang Guo took advantage of this to climb to the nobles and became the head of the five countries in the south.

Legend has it that there are also cultivators with three mutated attribute martial veins, but these only exist in ancient records, of course, all this will eventually be transformed into personal strength, cultivators use exercises, rely on martial arts, absorb the power of martial arts between heaven and earth, temper themselves, according to the strength of the force is divided into martial artists, martial marshal, martial kings, martial arts, and martial sects. Even the legendary martial saint.

There are many requirements to become a strong person in the Martial Continent, but there is only one result, win or lose, life or death, so the most important thing is not the exercises or the advanced martial arts, but the martial arts!

Martial arts is a way to release the power of martial arts in battle, everything mentioned above is for the service of martial arts, martial arts are also divided into three levels of heaven, earth, and people, and each level is divided into primary, intermediate, and high three levels, each martial art has requirements for exercises, martial arts, levels and even attributes, so it is impossible for a martial artist to release a heaven-level martial art.

There are many talents on the mainland, and martial arts are created every day, but most of the martial arts that have been handed down in the world are human-level martial arts. Large families and royal families sometimes pass down ground-level beginner or intermediate martial arts. As for the Heavenly Steps, there is only a glimpse of its style in ancient records and legends.

However, the continent is vast, and the five southern countries alone are naturally not enough to get a glimpse of its full picture. Moreover, hundreds of schools coexist, and in addition to martial arts, there are other cultivators who have found another way. Original beast taming, Dan Dao, formation, refining, body art and many other sects. also led the way, and there were other demon beasts and beasts occupying the deep sea mountains and forests, showing their grandeur.

Fifty years ago, the then Jiang clan patriarch found a local level exercise in the coffin mezzanine when moving the ancestral tomb, and the reason why the exercise was set as a ground level was because the exercise had a peculiar effect---- changed his life.

To put it simply, the cultivation of the exercises will not bring any benefits to the cultivator, but will shorten the life span of the cultivator, there are three layers of exercises, and there will be three years of lifespan left after cultivating to the end of the cultivation, but the cultivator's son will mutate into a single-attribute martial vein three months after the death of his father.

The requirements of the cultivators of this exercise are extremely demanding, and Jiang Qing, the current king of the Jiang Kingdom, is the younger brother of the patriarch of the Jiang clan at that time. The patriarch of the Jiang clan accidentally cultivated that exercise, and used his life to create the martial king Jiang Xiao, so that the Jiang family rose rapidly from a small family on the coast, expanded a territory by the sea, and established the Great Jiang Kingdom.

But there is only one martial king in the Great Jiang Kingdom. Now he died unexpectedly, the king's qualifications are mediocre, the second and third princes are all born to Jiang Qing, and their strength is only a military commander, and for a while, the other four countries are eyeing each other, and the plague has broken out in the country. As soon as the prince died, Jiang Guo was in danger...

After three months...

In the middle of the night, the palace is brightly lit, and the night pearl on the pillars in the palace illuminates the entire hall with golden splendor. Under the lamppost stood two columns of civil and military ministers, and on the dragon chair in the hall sat an old man wearing a dragon robe, although his face was old, but his eyes were resolute, revealing a majestic atmosphere.

"Just yesterday, the White Kingdom and the State of Wu have declared war on us, and they have captured seven of our cities in a day, and now they have reached the city of our Great Jiang Capital. Presumably, Xiao'er's death has nothing to do with them, and I summoned you tonight to discuss with you how to face the battle. The old man in the dragon robe looked at the ministers in the palace with some expectation and said.

As soon as these words came out, there was silence in the hall. Nowadays, Jiang Guo's most powerful combat power is the emperor's two sons-in-law, who have relied on the resources of the royal family in recent years, and now their strength is martial arts. Counting King Jiang Qing, there are a total of three military marshals.

And Zhenbei Hou Wang Wei and Zhennan Hou Hu Pan, although they have just broken through to Wu Shuai, they do not have the strength of Wu Shuai at all. Although the state of Wu is inferior to other countries, it has one martial king and four military commanders. The white country even has a martial king and seven military marshals, under such a lineup, if there is a war. It is only a matter of time before the Great Jiang Kingdom is destroyed.

Looking at the silent ministers in the palace, King Jiang Qing's face instantly turned pale, and he sighed.

"Alas"

"I didn't expect the dignified Jiang Guo to be so cowardly at this time. At this moment, a laugh suddenly came from the beams of the main hall.

"I have long said that Brother Wu will not be used, and as soon as Jiang Xiao dies, how can Jiang Guo have any role that can be looked down upon. Another voice came from the window outside the main hall.

"Who dares to trespass on the palace. The second prince, Jiang Xiong, instantly turned over from His Royal Highness and jumped up, blocking in front of Jiang Qing.

"Wu Xie, meet His Royal Highness King Jiang. A figure in a black robe suddenly appeared where Jiang Xiong was standing just now, and no one could see when he appeared there, as if he had been standing there at all in the first place.

"Bai Qi, meet His Royal Highness King Jiang. Although the words were greetings, there was no respect in the tone. A middle-aged man in a white shirt with an evil face appeared behind Jiang Xiong, and a small knife with a green light was pressed against Jiang Xiong's chest. Said wickedly.

"Bai Qi, it's the martial king of the white country!" There was an instant commotion in the main hall.

"I don't know what the two Martial Sects are doing when they come late at night?" a somewhat elegant but firm voice came from the main hall. Behind the main hall, a middle-aged man wearing a cyan robe walked out, and the man was holding a four or five-year-old child in his left hand.

The man looked like he was in his thirties, his face was resolute, and there was a hidden aura rising behind him. Although he was wearing a long robe, the majesty revealed between his gestures was far greater than Jiang Xiong, who was wearing battle armor on the main hall.

"Who should I be, it turns out that you are a waste who is addicted to alcohol all day long, if you had cultivated hard in the academy back then. It's not necessarily worse than Jiang Xiao. But now you are at the peak of your martial arts strength. What qualifications do you have?" Wu Xie glanced at Jiang Xuan with his eyes and said with disdain.

"What do you have to say to him, don't let him suffer a little, he still thinks that he is still the genius in the eyes of the academy teacher. Ha ha. Bai Qi also let out a sneer, and at the same time, with a flick of his wrist, the green knife that was originally against Jiang Xiong's chest was thrown out towards Jiang Xuan.

Almost at the same time as Bai Qi shook his hand, a blood arrow shot out from Jiang Xuan's back. The knife was nailed to the coiling dragon pillar behind Jiang Xuan. Then everyone saw that on Jiang Xuan's chest in a green shirt, a trace of green blood appeared.

Jiang Xuan's resolute gaze stared at Wu Xie and Bai Qi, and their eyebrows did not wrinkle. After a moment, the corners of his mouth curled indiscerningly. At the same time, six rays of light appeared between the dragon pillars above the main hall. The rays of light cross each other above the main hall. A mysterious pattern is formed, and two cone-shaped light masks are projected, covering Bai Qi and Wu Xie in the light mask.

"I don't know what the two martial kings are doing when they come late at night. Jiang Xuan looked at the two of them with resolute eyes, and without looking down at his chest, he asked, "Now, am I qualified to ask?"

Above the brightly lit hall, there was silence.
