Chapter 169: Everyone was shocked
After the sword master said the last sentence to Ji Chen, he completely stopped moving, obviously it was not easy to convey his thoughts through the prohibition of the Forbidden Soul Valley.
Gu Nu and Qiankun Sword are both lost and excited, disappointed that they have once again disconnected from the sword master, and excited that after more than 100,000 years, they are so close to their masters for the first time.
Moreover, Ji Chen had already rescued the sword master's body, which gave them hope, and they believed that in the near future, Ji Chen would definitely be able to break the ban of the Forbidden Soul Valley and release the sword master's soul.
Ji Chen was thinking about something, the sword master didn't have much time, so he didn't explain too much to him, but finally told him that he could borrow the sword master's body at a critical moment!
A strong physical body is not so easy to control.
The sword master at the peak was definitely stronger than the current Ji Chen, so even if the sword master's body was in Ji Chen's hands, Ji Chen would not be able to control or take it away.
However, the sword master still has a residual energy in the body, and Ji Chen can use this to urge the sword master's body, although it may only have the power of one blow, but it can also be used as a hole card and a killer weapon.
Ji Chen approached the sword master's body again at this time, and he was not attacked by coercion, obviously he had been recognized by the sword master.
His hand lightly touched the sword master's forehead, and he felt that there was an extremely condensed and pure, extremely high-level energy hidden in the center of the sword master's flesh eyebrows, this energy was hidden in the acupuncture points, if it weren't for Ji Chen's approval from the sword master, which attracted this energy to take the initiative to get close, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been able to find it.
The closer you get to the sword master, the more you can feel the power of this body, just an empty shell body is so powerful, what level of combat power the sword master at the peak has reached, I can't imagine it.
But the more this is the case, the more puzzled Ji Chen becomes, how did the Taigu Immortal Emperor and the Yuan Chu Demon Emperor defeat the Sword Lord?
Judging from the current strength of the Ancient Immortal Emperor and the Yuan Chu Demon Emperor, I am afraid that the two more will not be able to carry the sword master's sword.
Regarding the handling of the sword master's body, Ji Chen thought about it, he was afraid of changes in the small world, and it was not safe to hide in other places, and the coercion was too strong and it was easy to accidentally injure people, so he simply placed it on Heavenly Demon Island, adjacent to the Forbidden Soul Valley.
As for the ban on the Forbidden Soul Valley, Ji Chen still has no good way to break it, and without the two helpers of the Ancient Immortal Emperor and the Yuan Chu Demon Emperor, he can only put the ban on the Forbidden Soul Valley aside now, and wait for the opportunity later, or wait for him to break it after opening the box and collecting the vegetables.
Ji Chen's clone returned to the Holy Land Alliance with Gu Nu and the Qiankun Sword, and at the same time, he ordered Yinliu to control the range of activities of Heavenly Demon Island within thousands of miles around the Holy Land Alliance, so that he could arrive in time in case of accidents.
The Holy Land Alliance continued to be in a stage of rapid development, with everyone from high-level elders to ordinary disciples cultivating with their lives.
Those who did not become immortals were busy impacting the peak of the tribulation, preparing to participate in the next tribulation conference, and those who became immortals did not dare to slack off, and continued to march towards the Xuan Immortal Realm.
It's just that after arriving in the Immortal Realm, cultivation and improvement have become more difficult, and it takes a long time to accumulate, which is not something that can be done in a short time.
Except for the talented Tianjiao-level figures, the others have slowed down their cultivation after becoming immortals, but Lan Qingxue is an exception, she is still singing and advancing, as if she is hanging, which is much more terrifying than Ke Zhengqi and Ji Manqing, who are of the same generation of Tianjiao.
According to Ji Chen's estimate, it won't be long before Lan Qingxue can try to impact the Xuan Immortal Realm.
This kind of cultivation speed not only stunned others, but even Lan Qingxue herself felt that something was wrong, her cultivation improvement speed was too exaggerated, especially in the past few years, even if she didn't cultivate, her cultivation would increase unconsciously.
She had suspected that there was something wrong with her before, and now she was more and more sure, but no matter how much she thought about it and consulted the ancient books, she couldn't find out what the problem was in her.
Although there are too many irrationalities in her, these unreasonableness have brought her a good influence, her cultivation grows rapidly, she is not afraid of soul attacks, and she ignores the power of the immortal world.
Since she couldn't find a reason, Lan Qingxue simply didn't bother about it anymore, and temporarily attributed all this to her special physique, which may be some kind of rare physique that has never been recorded in ancient books.
Time has passed, and the Holy Land Alliance has accumulated a group of powerhouses at the peak of the Tribulation, and now they are only waiting for the Nameless Sword Immortal to convene the Tribulation Conference again before they have the opportunity to become immortals.
Ji Chen is waiting, waiting for more people to enter the tribulation period, and the second tribulation conference must be more grand than the first one, so as to have a shocking effect.
The tide swallowing beast in Ji Chen's small world was already a Mahayana demon beast when he followed Ji Chen, and now it has also grown to the peak of the tribulation, but there is no heavenly tribulation in the small world, and it can only wait for the tribulation to be with everyone during the tribulation conference.
In addition, the coffin ...... Elder Gu also successfully reached the peak of the Tribulation.
At that time, among the 150 people who participated in the first tribulation conference, only more than 50 people successfully crossed the tribulation and became immortals, and the remaining nearly 100 people have become the peak of the tribulation one after another to this day.
Unconsciously, there were more than a hundred peak powerhouses in the Holy Land Alliance, waiting for the Tribulation.
But Ji Chen felt that it was not enough, he was waiting, waiting for Qin Zhenzhen and Fan Xiuqi to also enter the tribulation period, these two people are the best among the young disciples, with unlimited potential, once they enter the immortal gate, they will have a smooth future.
On the other side, in the Demon Realm, Ji Chen's clone also inquired about more details about the auction of prisoners.
During this time, in addition to teaching Peng Xin the way of the formation, Ji Chen only did two things, one was to inquire about auction-related matters, and the other was to make money and raise money.
The captive auction has been held in the domain capital of the Demon Domain at the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, the Imperial City!
The time has not been finalized, but it is basically determined in two or three months.
Peng Xin's formation level improvement is still very stable, and he is only one bottleneck away from the six-rank immortal formation master.
It was at this time that Ji Chen suddenly received Jian Ping's transmission.
Since Jian Ping said that he was going to the void to find the whereabouts of the sword guard, he had never contacted Ji Chen, and now that he has suddenly contacted, it must be that things have progressed.
As expected, Jian Ping told Ji Chen that she had met a team of 100 Jianwei in the void, and after explaining the situation to them, she gave them a piece of the sound transmission jade slip left by Ji Chen.
"The centurion of the sword guard told me that he would hand over the sound transmission jade slip to his superiors, and then whether they would contact you later, I'm not sure."
"Okay." Ji Chen responded, "Have you asked them if they plan to take rescue operations?" ”
A thousand commanders of the Jianwei were captured as prisoners, according to the Jianwei's style of acting, it is unlikely that they will ignore it, Jian Ping is looking for the Jianwei, but also to see if he can rely on the power of the Jianwei to rescue his father by the way.
"I've asked, but that centurion is only a mid-level sword guard, and he can't know the decisions of the higher-ups, so the answer is also extremely unsatisfactory."
"He only told me that the sword guard has received the news that all the captives are being held in the imperial city, the imperial city is the domain capital of the demon domain at the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, and it is also the center of power in the entire demon world.
Jian Ping's tone was a little lost, it seemed that Jian Wei didn't plan to rescue the commander, which also meant that she couldn't expect Jian Wei to rescue her father.
Ji Chen understood Jian Wei's decision very well, robbing the prison was indeed not a wise move, in order to rescue a Demon Venerable, one or even several Demon Emperors might be involved.
Jian Ping said: "Mr. Ji, I ask you again, can you help me auction my father at the auction, if you agree, I will find a way to raise magic crystals!" ”
Jianwei's path didn't work, and Jian Ping now could only hope that Ji Chen could help her.
Ji Chen also rejected Jian Ping's request again.
In fact, if he can get in touch with the Sword Guard, or if the bid for the Sword Guard Thousand Commander fails, he is ready to bid for Jian Ping's father, Jian Dong.
But even if he photographed Jian Dong, he wouldn't tell Jian Ping that he took it, because then he would reveal his identity to Jian Ping.
ended the conversation with Jian Ping, until more than half a month later, Ji Chen's voice transmission Yu Jian suddenly received an unfamiliar transmission.
Just like when Jian Ping first contacted him, there were only three words: "Who are you?" ”
Ji Chen knew that this was the sword guard contacting him.
Ji Chen didn't answer and asked: "You are the subordinates of the sword master, can you know the sword slave, can you know the Qiankun sword?" ”
"I didn't expect anyone in the Demon Realm to remember this, which old antique are you? Dark Flame Demon Emperor? Or the Guangwen Demon Emperor? while
You chose to stand on the side of the early Yuan, and now why do you contact us? ”
Ji Chen thought for a moment and replied deliberately: "It turns out that I am on the wrong side, and you have become a lost dog." ”
"Fuck you! If you hadn't waited for the rebellion, how would the Lord have been defeated? ”
The transmission voice in the jade slip sounded extremely angry, but Ji Chen nodded slightly, he deliberately said this, just to test the current position of the sword guard.
It is true that the sword guard once followed the sword master, but more than 100,000 years have passed, is the sword guard's loyalty still the same? Are you still waiting for the sword master to return?
Or is it just that he was chased and killed by the Demon Emperor at the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, cornered, surrendered, and forced to fight against the Demon Realm.
If it is the latter, Ji Chen will have to consider whether to cooperate with the other party, and he may be sold by the other party at any time.
Now it seems that at least the person on the other side of the sound transmission jade is still in awe of the sword master.
"I'm not a Demon Emperor, but from the Cultivation Realm, and both the Sword Slave and the Qiankun Sword are friends with me."
Ji Chen's words were shocking, and the other side of the sound transmission jade jian did not respond for a long time.
It wasn't until half a day later that he received another reply.
Just two simple words: "Evidence? ”
Ji Chen guessed that the person on the other side of the sound transmission jade jian had probably been replaced, and it had been so long just now, it should have been the person who went to report to the superior just now for instructions.
Ji Chen said: "The sword master was defeated by the Ancient Immortal Emperor and the Yuan Chu Demon Emperor back then, and the two of them spent tens of thousands of years still unable to wipe out the sword master, and finally had to separate the sword master's soul and body, seal it on the Heavenly Demon Island and the Immortal Palace Holy Land respectively, and send it to the cultivation realm to close the passage of the immortal demon realm, in order to just consume the spiritual energy of the cultivation realm in order to kill the sword master." ”
After a while, the sound transmission Yujian shook: "You know a lot, but I don't know whether a lot of information is true or false, and I can't verify it." ”
It seems that the sword guards also don't know the current situation of the sword master.
Ji Chen then talked about some of the past stories of the sword master that he learned from Gu Nu's mouth.
The sword guard responded: "What you said is right, according to what you said, the sword slave and the Qiankun sword are now in the cultivation realm, and told you this, but it is also possible that you caught the sword slave and tortured him or searched his soul, so you learned this information, therefore, I still can't fully believe you." ”
"I just want to ask now, what do you want to do by doing everything possible to contact our sword guard?"
Ji Chen's attitude towards Jian Wei was not surprising, if he believed him easily, I am afraid that he would not have survived under the pursuit of the Demon Realm army.
He replied: "The Demon Realm is our common enemy, and my ultimate goal is naturally to cooperate with you to destroy the Demon Realm, but at this stage, we can try to cooperate in some small matters first, and then talk about it later." ”
After a while, Yu Jian responded: "It doesn't have to be so troublesome, one of our commanders has been arrested, if you can auction him for us at auction, we will naturally believe you." ”
Ji Chen smiled and replied, "I'll try." ”
After that, he stopped looking at the jade slip and put it directly into the storage bag.
Originally, he planned to photograph the sword guard commander, but now he gave up.
Photograph the commander, what should I do with him after that, should I let him go, or should I stay with him?
Letting him go will immediately arouse the suspicion of the demon world, and it is inevitable that he will be thoroughly investigated, and it is very likely that his identity will be revealed or he will be considered an undercover agent inserted by the Vault Dweller.
But if you stay by your side, you can really gain the trust of the sword guard?
In the end, not only did he not gain the trust of the sword guard, but he also aroused the attention and suspicion of the demon world, and the gains outweighed the losses.
For the sword guard, it is better to try other methods to build trust, it is best to succeed, and if it really can't be done, give up.
He doesn't have to need the support of the sword guard to deal with the demon world, if the sword guard really has the strength to destroy the demon world, he would have done it a long time ago, why hide in the east.
However, Ji Chen still planned to participate in the captive auction, and the original plan remained the same, but the target of his bid changed from the commander of the sword guard to Jian Ping's father, Jian Dong.
Even if it wasn't for Jian Ping's request, not to mention anything else, it would be quite good to have one more Demon Venerable-level thug by his side.
Ji Chen's doppelganger, currently
There is only the strength of the Demon Lord, it is too weak, and there is one more Demon Venerable bodyguard by his side, and he has enough confidence in speaking and doing things.
The goal was determined, and Ji Chen immediately began to implement the plan.
More than a month later, Peng Xin was successfully promoted to the Sixth Rank Immortal Formation Master.
The Six-Rank Immortal Array Master, among the Demon Array Mages, can already be regarded as the number one person, Ji Chen put on a big seat, invited friends, and came to the mansion to celebrate.
The Guanglan Demon Lord himself is not a good communicator, so except for some colleagues in the Xuancang Demon Domain, the rest of his friends are all various array mages.
Without exception, these array mages are all well-known figures in the Demon Realm, and most of them hold important positions in various Demon Domains.
Ji Chen's friend, the Demon King Xiujie, also came to congratulate.
However, most of these people came to the banquet for the sake of Ji Chen, that is, the face of the Guanglan Demon Lord, and just one Peng Xin was not worthy of their face.
At the banquet, Ji Chen "inadvertently leaked his mouth", revealing that he had been promoted to the Eighth Rank Immortal Array Master.
For a while, the whole audience was shocked, several people's hands trembled, and the fast dishes fell to the ground.
No one wants to break my losing streak!
