129. Letter from the Empire
Yunshan, Tianji Road, Sanqing Dao Palace.
Dao Nameless, Liufeng, Dusk Cloud, Lei Wu and Li Ling all sat on the top of the main hall, since the last battle, Li Ling's status in the Heavenly Machine Dao was comparable to several Dao Venerables.
At this time, under the Sanqing Palace, a man dressed in armor and wearing a sword at his waist stood there respectfully, but in the hands of Dao Nameless, he was holding a letter.
Looking at the letter in his hand, Dao Wuming frowned slightly, unable to see any joy or anger, and then spoke lightly.
"This general has come from afar, please rest in Yunshan for a few days!"
"Don't dare, I just sent a letter, now that the letter has been delivered, I should also go back to restore my life, how dare I bother you Dao Venerables anymore!"
"Okay, since the general is busy with official business, we won't delay the general, come here, send this general on our behalf!"
After that, a disciple of the Heavenly Machine took the person out of the Sanqing Hall.
After the others left, Dao Wuming put the letter in his hand on the table next to him and said, "What do you think about this matter, how to deal with it?" ”
Lei Wu has always been the most anxious, and he was the first to speak: "How to deal with it?" Of course we have to go, otherwise it will not be a loss to the reputation of this sect. ”
Dao Nameless glanced at Lei Wu next to him, and said angrily: "Okay, you know a fart!" After that, Dao Wuming said to Li Ling on the side: "Ling boy, what do you think?" ”
Li Ling frowned slightly, and then said: "Three days ago, Ming Tongtian had just left, but now, the Great Qin Empire has sent an envoy to send an invitation letter, which is too much of a coincidence. ”
"But there is the seal of Great Qin's national seal on the letter, is there still a fake?" Lei Wu was puzzled.
"Although the letter is true, it is inevitable that this is not a conspiracy of Ming Tongtian!" Li Ling said.
"Conspiracy? I don't think it's likely! Liufeng said: "This letter mentions that we are invited to attend the Kyushu Heroes Conference held in the capital of the Great Qin Emperor on the eighth day of the third month, and at that time, the famous factions above Kyushu will participate. ”
Twilight Cloud added, "And we also asked just now, Great Qin sent multiple messengers, and while coming to Cloud Mountain, they also went to other sects, including the Sword Sect of Jiuhua Mountain, the Divine Dragon Gang of Jinyang City, the Cloud Sea Heartless City, the Buddha Sea Divine Land in the South China Sea, and the West Sea Snake Island. ”
"Yes, if this is a conspiracy of Ming Tongtian, does he dare to offend the Sword Sect, the Divine Dragon Gang, Wuxin City, the Buddha Gate and the Snake Island at the same time? Even if the Great Qin Empire is strong, but there is a super faction with the Six Saints of the Heavenly List, I don't think they dare to act rashly! ”
"I think it's hard to say!" Lei Wu said: "Isn't there no Six Saints in our Heavenly Machine Dao?" But that old thief didn't bully us. ”
"It's different!" Liu Feng said: "Senior brother in charge has been in retreat for a long time, so his prestige above Kyushu has naturally faded a lot. However, the Sword Sect, the Divine Dragon Gang, Wuxin City, the Buddha Gate, and the Snake Island, but with the real Six Saints in charge, do they dare to be presumptuous! ”
"Hey, after all, we're not strong enough! But now it's okay, we have Ling Xiaozi, Ling Xiaozi has the essence of Wuji Xuanyi Divine Skill, and his future achievements will definitely not be lower than the senior brother in charge. When the time comes, I will see which of those thieves will dare to go to Yunshan to spread wilderness. Lei Wu said angrily.
Hearing this, Li Ling smiled bitterly and said, "Lei Wu Daozun, don't make fun of me." I can't protect myself now, and you Dao Zun probably also know that for the matter of the blood sword, I have become the number one public enemy above Kyushu, and I don't hide it from you Dao Zun, Dongfang Yutian alone has intercepted and killed me twice. At that time, if it weren't for the Mu City Lord of Heartless City and the two Sect Masters of the Sword Sect, Hua and Gu, I am afraid that I would have turned into a pile of white bones long ago. ”
Hearing Li Ling's words, everyone was shocked. The Six Saints personally intercepted and killed, and when they thought about it, they knew the level of danger at that time. But no matter what, Li Ling still survived, as long as he survived, there was hope.
At this time, Lei Wu spoke: "Boy Ling, are all those legends in Kyushu true?" You killed the six demons of the Heavenly Wolf in the Shenlong Gang, and the blood sword is really on your body? ”
Li Ling nodded slightly, and said, "Yes, the six demons of the Heavenly Wolf were indeed killed by me, and the blood sword is also with me, but ......"
"That's it!" Dao Wuming shook his head and said: "Let's not talk about this for now, Ling boy, you broke through the entrance in the battle with Ming Tongtian and cultivated to a great advance, now, even if you really meet Dongfang Yutian again, even if you can't defeat him, but if he wants to kill you, it is very impossible." ”
"That's right, if you can't beat it, run away!" Lei Wu laughed.
"Now, what we need to decide is that we are going to the Kyushu Heroes Conference held in the Great Qin Empire this time? Or not going? ”
"Go!" Lei Wu hurriedly said: "If everyone else goes, but we don't go, wouldn't it be a big shame?" Especially that Shen Aotian, he has always had a grudge against the senior brother in charge, if we don't go, he will definitely laugh at us. We can't embarrass the senior brother in charge. ”
"Shame? How much is a face worth? Can it be more important than life? Dao Wuming said angrily: "If you want me to say, instead of competing for long and short, it is better to drink a glass of wine in Yunshan to be comfortable." ”
"Senior brother, having said that, this Hero Conference has invited all the famous factions in Kyushu, if we don't go, I'm afraid it's not appropriate!" Liufeng said lightly.
"Yes, even if Ming Tongtian has some conspiracy, there are so many sects in Kyushu, doesn't he care about it at all?" Dusk Cloud said in a deep voice: "Besides, the organizer of this Kyushu Heroes Conference is the Great Qin Empire, not Ming Tongtian!" Although Ming Tongtian is the emperor of Great Qin, the real emperor of the empire is not him! ”
Hearing this, Dao Wuming sighed and said, "This is what I really can't figure out!" These nine empires have always been open and secretly fighting, who doesn't want to annex other empires and unify Kyushu! But this time, the Kyushu Heroes Conference was held in the capital of the Great Qin Emperor, and it was also the Great Qin who sent envoys to inform the various factions in Kyushu, but the other empires did not release the slightest rumor, which shows that there is still a mystery in this! ”
"yes!" Li Ling was also worried at this time: "For many years, the nine empires have maintained a delicate balance, restricting each other, monitoring each other, and balancing strength. Among the nine empires, it is absolutely not allowed for any empire to be far stronger than the others, and if such a situation happens, the other empires will join forces to attack it. ”
Li Ling has been in the Nanping Palace since he was a child, and he has long been surprised by these games of power checks and balances, the nine empires are each with their own ghosts, if it is not for the balance of strength and mutual restraint, how can he maintain this sick peace over the years.
At this time, Lei Wu also nodded and said: "What Ling Xiaozi said is true, I think that Chu Feng, who was in the Southern Chu Imperial Family, rose strongly, with a sword in his hand, suppressed the heroes of Kyushu, and won the reputation of the first sword in the world." Later, under the leadership of Chu Feng, Southern Chu rose rapidly and swept the entire Kyushu with an extremely strong attitude, even the nine empires at that time were terrified, but helpless! ”
Later, in order to destroy the Demon Domain, Chu Feng sent troops to Beihai alone, and finally was ambushed and fled back to Southern Chu with injuries, and soon after, he died with a whimper. As soon as Chu Feng died, the Nine Great Empires immediately changed their previous state of submission, and attacked it in groups, and Southern Chu was invincible, so they could only retreat again and again, and finally retreated to the boundary of Yanzhou in the Southern Regions, and they could not retreat. ”
"This is the ugly face of these empires, if you are strong, they will respect you and fear you, but if you show the slightest weakness, they will show the fierceness of tigers and wolves." In the end, Lei Wu was so angry that he trembled.
Seeing this, Li Ling asked, "Daozun, what's wrong with you?" ”
At this time, Twilight Cloud let out a long sigh and said, "After all these years, you still can't see it?" Senior Brother Lei Wu! When the senior brother in charge rescued you from the Southern Regions, he hoped that you could let go of your hatred and calm down. ”
"Humph!" Lei Wu snorted coldly and said no more.
Dao Wuming slowly spoke at this time, and said, "Okay, Ling boy, you don't have to be surprised. Before Lei Wu became a monk, he was a branch of the Southern Chu royal family, and his entire clan was wiped out by the imperial alliance back then, so he ......"
Li Ling was shocked, and said in his heart: "It turns out that Lei Wu Daozun and Yu'er are still a family!" ”
"Above this Kyushu, the major sects are also an invisible help, if anyone can get the support of this force, they will naturally be able to get an extra chance of victory in the fierce battle of the nine empires, this is a truth that anyone can figure out. But this time, Daqin ignored the attitude of the other eight empires and held this Kyushu Heroes Conference alone, wouldn't they be afraid of attracting the hatred and fire of the eight empires*? Liufeng wondered.
Li Ling nodded slightly, and then analyzed: "This shows that there are two situations, first, the real power of the Great Qin Empire has fallen into the hands of others, and the holding of this hero conference is also a conspiracy to annex the various major sects in Kyushu, and second, the Great Qin is no longer afraid of the joint efforts of the eight empires, and this hero conference is a naked temptation to test the bottom line of other empires!" ”
"Ling boy, you mean that the old thief of Ming has already controlled the government of the Great Qin Dynasty, and this hero conference is the conspiracy of the old thief of Ming, right?" Lei Wu Dao.
"Senior Brother Lei Wu, what you are thinking about is only one aspect, Li Ling also said just now, perhaps, the strength of Great Qin has far exceeded the estimation of us and the other eight great empires, this matter is just a temptation!" Twilight Cloud.
"Yes, maybe after the temptation, there will be more extreme measures! After all, Daqin has been very domineering in recent years! Liufeng said worriedly.
At this time, Dao Wuming frowned slightly, and said, "There is another possibility, that is, there are both situations that Ling Xiaozi said!" In any case, in Kyushu in the future, I'm afraid there will be no day of peace! Okay, no matter what the purpose of the Great Qin Empire is this time, let's take a trip! In the end, Dao Wuming made a decision.
"Lei Wu, Ling boy, this time you will go to Daqin with me! After all these years, it's time for me to go back and have a look......" After saying that, Dao Wuming got up and left.
Seeing this, Liufeng sighed helplessly, and finally instructed: "Senior Brother Lei Wu, when you go out this time, you have to take care of Li Ling, he is the hope of our Tianji Dao in the future." ”
Lei Wu patted his chest and said, "No problem!" But after thinking about it for a while, Lei Wu seemed to think of something, and then said, "I take care of him?" Hey, with Ling Boy's cultivation, it's good that I don't trouble him! ”
With that, everyone burst into laughter.
