Yancheng still seemed to be so calm, nothing happened.

An Zheng stood on the highest floor of the stone tower by Weiyang Lake in the academy, looking at the faint ripple marks on Weiyang Lake, radiating the sunlight and covering it with gold and silver treasures. The ripple marks on the surface of the water are only superficial, and the bottom of Weiyang Lake is still calm and peaceful.

There is no peace, no peace.

Now that many great forces have come, the Nine Holy Sects are no longer worth mentioning, but this world is so big, and among the cultivators of the human realm, there is also Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. An Zheng knew one thing very well, the goal of the martial arts conference had already changed for himself.

The human world needs a leader, and there must be a leader.

The martial arts conference was originally a competition between the disciples of the major forces, selecting the best young people and getting the resources taken out by the major forces. In the past, martial arts tournaments would be fought for blood, because every young man dreamed of such an opportunity, and once he got it, he was unwilling to let go even if he fought to the death.

Gu Chaotong stood behind An Zheng and said in a low voice: "According to the rules of the previous martial arts conferences, the person who ranks first will get a secret treasure or a top-level exercise taken out by each of the four sects and three monarchs. It's too big an attraction for those young people to resist. If a young man obtains the top exercises among these seven forces, then as long as he lives, he will stand out after a few decades. ”

"But. ”

Gu Chaotong glanced at An Zheng: "What my subordinates have always suspected until now is that this is simply a trap set by the Immortal Palace in order to eradicate the best among the young cultivators. Why is there someone from the Immortal Palace who presides over the Martial Arts Conference every time? Isn't the Immortal Palace always very disdainful of the affairs of cultivators in the human realm? The subordinates guessed that the Immortal Palace sent people just to see which of these people was the best. ”

"On the surface, this young man who won the first place will definitely get rewards from the four sects and three monarchs, and in order to show fairness and fairness, these rewards will definitely not be fake. However, the subordinates looked into it......"

Gu Chaotong flipped through a booklet: "According to the investigation of his subordinates, the year that can be traced is not too short, the first place in the martial arts conference in the past few hundred years has been recorded, and there is this record in the treasury of Bai Sheng Junning Xiaolou." According to this record, his subordinates sent someone to investigate the fate of all those who have won the first place in these hundreds of years......"

An Zheng nodded: "Of course they are all dead." ”

"Yes...... They are all dead, and the deaths are very inexplicable, but they are very reasonable. Because the rewards they received were too tempting, after leaving the martial arts conference, more than half of them were intercepted and killed halfway through, and the whereabouts of the rewards they received were unknown. Some of them were very cautious and avoided the interception and pursuit after the martial arts conference, but they were hunted down for the next few years, and no one was spared. ”

An Zheng snorted: "The four sects and three monarchs, how can they really let the treasure in their hands fall into the hands of outsiders, even if the people of the Immortal Palace don't make a move, the people of the four sects and three monarchs will not let them go." Kyushu in the world, this is just Jizhou...... Among the four sects and three monarchs in Jizhou, the Nine Holy Sects are no longer enough to mention, and Bai Shengjun was killed by me. The rest are Kaiyuan Temple, Red Cloud Valley, and Suojian Pavilion. Among the three gentlemen, there are still Moyang Jun Li Moyang, and Dongting Junle Shangxiao. If nothing else, the heads of these five major forces have all arrived in Yancheng. The reason they never came to visit me was because they didn't think I had much to live. ”

Gu Chaotong said: "The subordinates have already sent someone to spread the news that the Nine Saints of the Nine Saints Sect have been killed by the sect master, and I think about it, it shouldn't be long before the five so-called big people will come to visit." ”

An argued: "No matter who comes, they all say that I am injured and do not see the guest. ”

Gu Chaotong said: "My subordinates have already ordered this. ”

An Zheng said: "Your mind is very thoughtful, I am very relieved. ”

Gu Chaotong was silent for a while and then asked tentatively: "Sect Master, do you want to fight for the leader of Jizhou? And among these Kyushu, Jizhou is not the largest, only ranked in the middle. The human world needs a leader, and there must be a leader to truly confront Asgard. ”

An Zheng laughed: "Yes, I didn't mean to do this, but the general trend is coming, so I won't hypocritically say that I don't want to fight." I'm not a person who has no desires, what I ask for is big, big and scary. Therefore, if you want to fight, you must not only fight for this Jizhou leader, but also fight for this Kyushu leader. ”

"A treacherous road. ”

Gu Chaotong said worriedly: "The mind of fighting for the leader of Kyushu, I am afraid that everyone has the strong people in this Kyushu." But for so many years, no one dared to play this banner or shout this sentence, just because they were afraid of the target of Asgard. If anyone is the first to shout this sentence, Asgard will immediately erase this person. Think about it, even the first place selected by the Jizhou Martial Arts Conference has to be erased, let alone the first place in Kyushu?"

"No one else dares to do this, so that's why I did it. I've told you a lot of things, and you know almost as much as I do. So you should know very well that if the human world is still so scattered, and Asgard's control over the human world is still so terrifying, then when that faceless monster reappears in the future, no one will be able to stop it. At the very least, there was still me, Shaobai, and Ziluo were all at their peak. It can also change the time and delay the disaster by tens of thousands of years...... Now, with Qinglian Xuanyuan's strength, he is not the opponent of the faceless monster at all. ”

"Of course the subordinates know this, but people like Qinglian and Xuanyuan, they don't know what will happen in the future, and even if they do, they won't allow you to become the number one in Kyushu and become the leader of the human realm who can compete with the Immortal Palace. Their gaze was too short, even if it was the Immortal Emperor, they couldn't look far from it...... They will think that there will be a way to deal with the future, but if you let it go big, it will be a direct threat to them. ”

An Zheng nodded: "You're right, they're worried about the future, but they're more worried about the present." As Immortal Emperors, they must have noticed something, but they felt that they were still far away. They are still like this, let alone Li Moyang, Le Shangxiao, and those people. The style of the people in Red Cloud Valley is even stranger than that of the Nine Holy Sects, some people say that a Nine Holy Sect can make thousands of miles of corpses, and a Red Cloud Valley can make Jizhou unmanned. The Lock Sword Pavilion acted more openly, but after so many years of pursuing the golden mean, it had long lost the heart to resist the Immortal Palace. ”

"Kaiyuan Temple is an alternative existence, it is a branch of Buddhism in Jizhou, but it has nothing to do with Buddhism in the Western Regions. There was even some hostility between the native Buddhism and the Western Regions Buddhism. However, Kaiyuan Temple is also the same as the Buddhism of the Western Regions, regardless of external affairs, and is dedicated to practice. The people of Kaiyuan Temple can't be comrades-in-arms, but fortunately, they won't become enemies. Among the remaining forces, only Kaiyuan Temple is the most unclear. In terms of cultivation, Ning Xiaolou is the weakest among the three monarchs, after all, he inherited the throne as a young man and was entangled in trivial matters, so he had no time to meditate and practice. His father left very suddenly, and the old Bai Shengjun died suddenly, and he had not yet cultivated to take over this position. ”

"It is rumored that among the four sects and three monarchs, the strongest is the presiding officer of Kaiyuan Temple, but this person has no quarrel with the world. Secondly, it is Moyang Jun Li Moyang, and then Dongting Junle Shangxiao. The Pavilion Master of the Lock Sword Pavilion has not appeared on the rivers and lakes for hundreds of years, and it is rumored that he has been in retreat all along. The seven strange people in the Red Cloud Valley are in charge, and the strength of the valley master is not enough to be compared with the other big names, but the seven-star red cloud formation practiced by seven people is rumored to be unbreakable. ”

An Zheng stood at the window and looked outside, his face calm: "Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can we survive a hundred battles, for us, this world is a different world." In the beginning, I thought that I must adapt to this era as soon as possible. But now it seems that we can't get used to it. Because the people of this era are not allowed to adapt to us. Then we have only one way left, and since we can't adapt, let's change. ”

An Zheng turned around and looked at Gu Chaotong: "Mobilize all the secret agents of the Heavenly Apocalypse Sect, and investigate the affairs of Dongting Junle Shangxiao, Moyang Jun Li Moyang, Hongyun Valley, Suojian Pavilion, and Kaiyuan Temple up and down, and investigate whatever you can." I want to know the weaknesses of these people in the shortest possible time...... It's not the weakness of the principals of these forces, it's the weakness of these sects. ”

Gu Chaotong lowered his head and said: "This matter, my subordinates arranged for someone to investigate it soon after they arrived, and now after the news is summarized, half of the room is installed." The subordinates guessed that there were still a few days before the martial arts conference was held, and it was postponed again and again, but it still had to be held in the end. These days, the subordinates have personally combed through the complicated news and found out some valuable. Sect Master give me another day, and I'll be able to sort out all this information. ”

The corners of An Zheng's mouth hooked slightly: "The luckiest thing for me is that I have you to help me." ”

Gu Chaotong said: "The world is you, that's a big deal." For small things, we can do it as our subordinates. ”

An Zheng patted Gu Chaotong on the shoulder: "Jizhou is just one of the nine states, and what the Heavenly Apocalypse Sect wants to do is not just the first in Jizhou." If we are the first in Kyushu, we will be able to directly confront Asgar. I want to establish the order of cultivators in the human realm in the shortest possible time, and only by being good can I deal with the catastrophe. I can't save all living beings in the world alone, what I can do is to let all living beings in the world condense and ...... Will be majestic and invincible. ”

Meanwhile.

In Yancheng, in the room of Immortal Venerable Yang Ji, Moyang Jun Li Moyang glanced at Yang Ji: "This Anzheng, it seems that the plan is very big...... What he wants should not be the first among those disciples in the martial arts conference, and what he wants is not the top treasures that we pretended to take out, he wants the entire Jizhou. This martial arts conference is no longer a small fight between disciples......"

Yang Ji's eyes lit up: "No. 1 in Jizhou......?"

He stood up and walked to the window: "I've been looking forward to it, how long has it been? ”
