Chapter 111: The Heart of a Child
The Praetorian Guards of the Tang Dynasty entered the Shenlong Mountain Range with a sweeping momentum, and many hired mercenaries and killers were found and killed by the strong men of the Praetorian Guard. Of course, these mercenaries and killers who didn't have time to escape were all minions.
The real strong man has long since retreated. Han Zhantian's shouting gave these people a signal.
The people of the Tianxuan Sword Pool Holy Land and the Alchemy Guild all retreated, and no one was captured.
And this time, of the one hundred and eight intermediate sects that participated in the Dragon Clan, twenty-seven were completely wiped out, and the number of deaths of the disciples of all the sects together was more than 1,300. Approaching half of the disciples participating in the competition this time, such a loss can be described as incomparably huge. Because most of the disciples who participated in the Dragon Gang Competition were potential disciples of the intermediate sect.
This time the losses were so heavy that it had a great impact on all the sects, especially the twenty-seven sects where the elders and participating disciples were all killed, and they were destined to be oppressed and weakened in the next thirty years. If you're lucky, you can become a small sect, and if you're not lucky, you'll be wiped out.
The cultivation realm is so cruel, when you are strong, others fear you. It will offer you rare treasures, and when it is declining, the sect that once worshiped you will attack it en masse, so that you will completely cut off the hope of rising.
On this day, cries and roars erupt from time to time in the Shenlong Mountain Range. This is the first time that such a tragic incident has occurred since the Tang Imperial Family created the Dragon Clan. Under such a painful experience, ten years later, will there still be an intermediate sect that dares to come to participate in the Dragon Clan?
Han Zhantian's face was gloomy, brushing his gray beard, not knowing how to face the emperor's anger.
The spies of the Praetorian Guard had already discovered the strangeness of the Shenlong Mountain Range, and he also had the intention of sending troops over. It's just that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince stopped him and said that he would take full authority to deal with this matter. It's just that Han Zhantian didn't expect it. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's handling was so incompetent, and the melee in the Shenlong Mountain Range continued.
As a last resort, the genius of Han Zhan decided to ignore the words of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and led his army into the Shenlong Mountain Range to protect the people who participated in the Dragon Clan. After hearing the report of his generals, he felt that this matter would be difficult to deal with.
More than 1,300 people died here, and this is something that cannot be hidden. But once this matter is reported truthfully, will His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hate himself?
Han Zhantian thought about it in his heart, and he couldn't make a choice, because this relationship was heavy. Reporting truthfully will inevitably trigger the emperor's anger.
"Report ...... Reporting to the general, a colleague of the Tianlong Army asked to see him, saying that there was a confidential important matter to report. The voice of a guard brought Han Zhantian back from his thoughts.
Han Zhantian frowned and said, "Heavenly Dragon Army, how can there be people from the Heavenly Dragon Army here?"
"General Report, this colleague of the Tianlong Army was selected for this Dragon Competition, and he has not yet reported to the Tianlong Army. "Guardian Dao" brought him. Han Zhantian thought for a while and nodded, "Yes." The guards were ordered to leave.
In the crowd protected by the Praetorian Guards, Tang Jiao stared at Long Jiaoyang with great resentment and said, "Long Jiaoyang, do you think you can get rid of me in this way?"
The person who took out the token of the Heavenly Dragon Army and asked to see Han Zhantian was Long Jiaoyang.
The Tianlong Army is the most special army of the Tang Dynasty, and the people of the general army will give face to those who are in the status of the Tianlong Army.
"I'm not trying to get rid of you, I'm going to tell you what's going on here. Long Jiaoyang Zhengse Dao Tang Jiao hadn't opened his mouth yet, and the old lady Qinqiu took the lead and said: "Long Jiaoyang Daoyou, are you crazy?
"Why?" Long Jiaoyang raised his eyebrows, "I know the truth of the matter, so hard that I have to pretend to be stupid and let the murderers get away with it?"
"Long Jiaoyang Daoyou, don't be stupid. What a behemoth the Alchemy Guild is, you say that the people of the Alchemy Guild poisoned here, and few people will believe it. Moreover, the people of the Tang Imperial Family will not deal with the Alchemy Guild. As for you, your identity will be exposed because of this, the people of the Alchemy Guild will find you, and Hao Huchong will also find you. At that time, Hao Huang and He Shi Niang were provoked, and there would be no place in this Nine Xuan Great World where you could hide. Old Concubine Qinqiu said in a deep voice, Tang Jiao echoed and nodded, "Long Jiaoyang, it's good that we know about this matter ourselves." If you leak it, you'll only end up killing you. When you go to see General Han, don't talk about it. ”
Long Jiaoyang said firmly: "I believe that justice is at ease in the hearts of the people! I even believe that not everyone in this world will let the people of the Alchemy Guild do whatever they want because they are afraid of the Alchemy Guild. ”
"What kind of justice is in the hearts of the people? Are you the head of the elm wood? The King of the Six Pindans is in the Nine Xuan World, which is enough to call the wind and rain. A saint-level realm cultivator can destroy an intermediate sect in half an hour, do you think the Tang Imperial Family will kill Hao Hu Chong for the sake of justice in your heart?" Tang Jiao said urgently, Long Jiaoyang was silent, but he didn't believe that the world was really so dark, and the Tang Imperial Family didn't dare to punish a well-dressed murderer.
"Long Jiaoyang, the general invites you over. The herald guards rushed to greet Long Jiaoyang and nodded and walked forward, Tang Jiao grabbed Long Jiaoyang's arm and said: "Long Jiaoyang, don't talk nonsense, there are some things that you can't change at all, but you will only provoke death for yourself." ”
"Somebody has to do something. Don't worry, I won't say anything unfavorable to you, Hao Huchong wants to retaliate, he will only find me!" Long Jiaoyang said this, got rid of Tang Jiao's hand, and moved forward firmly.
Tang stomped his feet coquettishly and said, "Why is this guy like this, he is really an elm head!"
Old Concubine Qinqiu sighed: "He is still a boy with a pure heart, and he still believes that there is justice in the world. It's a pity that he is destined to go to the road of no return. Tang Jiao, don't contact him again in the future, he will inevitably become the target of the Alchemy Guild's attack. ”
Tang Jiao didn't respond to Old Concubine Qinqiu, she stared at Long Jiaoyang's back. Although she was very annoyed, Long Jiaoyang was so stubborn in wanting to explain the truth and put herself in danger. But Long Jiaoyang knew that there were tigers in the mountains, and the courage to go to the tiger mountain made her heart vibrate.
The Shenlong Mountain Range, swept by the Praetorian Guard, quickly regained its tranquility. The water sources near the Shenlong Mountain Range have also begun to put the antidote in full force. Five days later, the surviving cultivators were all rewarded with large sums of money, and under the escort of the Tang army, they began to return to their respective sects.
Tang Jiao didn't wait for Long Jiaoyang to come out in the end, and she had been persuaded by the old lady Qinqiu not to contact Long Jiaoyang for the time being, lest Hao Hu Chong would track her down after Long Jiaoyang exposed the matter of the Shenlong Mountain Range.
Long Jiaoyang was not really a fool, after he met Han Zhantian, he only told Han Zhantian what the poison was in the water source near the Shenlong Mountain Range of Han Zhantian. He didn't say anything about the Tianxuan Sword Pool Holy Land, Hao Huchong, and the prince's guards.
If he said this, Long Jiaoyang would definitely need to return to God Emperor City with Han Zhantian for a special review. But now he needs to go to the Ice Xuan Grassland to find the Iceberg Snow Lotus for Zi Shan to refine the elixir that resolves the burning poison. This matter cannot be delayed, because a person who has been poisoned by incineration can only live for one year.
