Chapter Eighty-Three: Uprooting
Elder Yan, who had already set up the magic circle, suddenly made a move, but to everyone's surprise, the target of his shot was not the succubus "Young Master" but Xiong Zhen, Elder Shi and Hua Feng. This scene caught everyone off guard.
Elder Yan's magic circle was so powerful, under such an unexpected sneak attack, even Xiong Zhen didn't have time to react. In addition to Xiong Zhen, Elder Shi and Hua Feng were slightly injured. Elder Yan's attack can be said to be just right, just so that the succubus "Young Master" has time to escape.
Soon he broke through when everyone didn't react. This scene made Xiao Che extremely surprised and angry.
He never imagined that Elder Yan, who had always had a good reputation, would be a traitor.
However, there was one person who reacted quickly, and that was Elder Zhao, who rushed to the succubus "Young Master" as soon as possible. However, there was another person who was faster than him, and that was Elder Yan.
Seeing that Elder Yan seemed to have been guarding against Elder Zhao for a long time, and almost at the same time as him, Elder Zhao's temper was hot, and he immediately used all his spiritual power, and he was desperate. At this time, the succubus "Young Master" suddenly blew himself up, which caught everyone off guard. Then he disappeared in place.
Now all the people present have reacted, but it is too late, the previous self-explosion of the succubus "Young Master" is a way to escape. He exchanged all his cultivation for a trace of life. This is a unique way for the succubus to escape.
Seeing that the escape of the succubus "Young Master" was unstoppable, the people present vented all their anger on Elder Yan, and soon under the siege of everyone, Elder Yan was quickly defeated. His spiritual power was also abolished by Xiong Zhen with a slap.
Now was not the time to get rid of Elder Yan, they wanted to learn more about the succubus from Elder Yan's mouth.
Seeing Elder Yan end up like this made everyone sigh.
Xiao Che first apologized to Elder Zhao. After all, if he hadn't made a mistake in judgment before, he wouldn't have been blinded by Elder Yan. If Elder Zhao had been allowed to enter the temple before, maybe the result would have been completely different from what it is now.
Xiao Che was also very self-blaming. When Elder Zhao saw Xiao Che apologizing to him, he didn't gladly accept it, he didn't pay attention to Xiao Che, turned around and left. This made Xiao Che very embarrassed. However, he also learned about Elder Zhao's character from other people, and he didn't say anything.
The succubus "Young Master" fled, and Elder Yan rebelled, which was tantamount to a major earthquake for the deserted city. The top leaders of the Great Zhou Dynasty couldn't sit still.
The Great Zhou Dynasty, the royal family, the Ji family.
"It is unforgivable that there will be an elder in the deserted city who will rebel, so that the succubus "young master" can escape. The court of the Great Zhou Dynasty said angrily.
"Lord Hai, what kind of succubus 'young master' is just an insignificant illegitimate son of the succubus emperor, and it is not a 'young master'. Another minister retorted.
"Lord Zhang, no matter what, that's also the son of the Succubus Emperor. It's a real deal, isn't it? "Lord Hai is very unhappy to listen to what Master Zhang says.
"Don't talk about these useless adults, it seems that there is a big problem in the deserted city now. Let's just say that Elder Yan can rebel, this is simply a great shame for my human race. These guardian elders were determined by all the adults at the beginning, but now that such a thing has happened, do you dare to say that you have no responsibility at all?" said an adult surnamed Yao.
"It's not right for Lord Yao to say this, how can this put the responsibility on our heads, when Yan Shan was recommended to be an elder, it was Yan Shan who was considered by us at that time. His subsequent apostasy cannot be counted on us. If Lord Yao said so, then Lord Yao's students were corrupt or even betrayed, could it be counted on Lord Yao!" Without waiting for others to do anything, Lord Zhang and Lord Yao got on the bar first.
After a while, there were more and more voices in the court, and the entire court was in chaos. As the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Ji Fa sat on the dragon chair made of golden earth-attribute spirit stones, watching the arguments of these ministers.
He knows what kind of character these people are, no one will take the initiative to take responsibility, and the first thing everyone thinks about when something goes wrong is not how to solve it, but how to shirk it, Ji Fa has long seen these people thoroughly. Listening to them arguing doesn't hear any good ideas, and in the end you have to make your own decisions.
Sometimes Ji Fa wanted to drive them all away, but he also knew that it was impossible. After all, there are a lot of things they need to do. If it weren't for them, he wouldn't be able to play as an emperor.
The Great Zhou Dynasty is the only great dynasty in this region, unlike the Qingxuan Empire, where there are still so many countries. In terms of land area, the Great Zhou Dynasty was only about the same size as the current Qingxuan Empire. And the land of all the countries on the side of the Qingxuan Empire combined is much larger than that of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
However, there is only one country in the Great Zhou Dynasty, not like the state of tigers and wolves in the Qingxuan Empire.
And in terms of the quality of warriors, the Great Zhou Dynasty is much stronger than the Qingxuan Empire. However, this is not the top power, after all, the Qingxuan Empire has Qingxuan Ce, the first in the world, although the comprehensive strength of the Qingxuan Empire is not as good as that of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but the martial arts world of the Qingxuan Empire still has a high status, of course, all because of the existence of the Qingxuan family.
Just when this side of the deserted city was in chaos, the Great Zhou Dynasty finally decided to send people to investigate these elders.
For a while, the atmosphere in the deserted city was extremely strange.
Xiao Che and Zhou Xiaodie also stuck to the Zhou family's stronghold and did not go out.
Since the Great Zhou Dynasty sent the Investigation Minister, the life of the Deserted City Human Clan elders is not easy, although they are all well-known Supreme Realm powerhouses, and they are all strong people above the five grades of the Supreme Realm, but in the face of the investigation ministers sent by the Great Zhou Dynasty, they are also obediently cooperative, and no one has any objections.
Among them, Elder Hua Feng was the most ruthless to be investigated. After all, all this seems to be inseparable from him and his son Hua Qun.
Xiao Che didn't believe that Hua Feng would have any problems. The matter of his son Hua Qun can only be said to be an exception, the reason why the succubus chose Hua Qun in the first place was because Hua Qun was too capable of tossing.
And it is not easy for him to occupy Hua Qun's soul to attract the attention of others, after all, there is no one who is close to Hua Qun.
No one cares about a "little bully" like Hua Qun, and it is difficult to be discovered if something happens. However, even if the succubus was unlucky, he didn't catch up with the good time, and it happened that because of Xiao Che and Zhou Xiaodie, Hua Qun actually got close to them during that time. This was something that the succubus could never have imagined, but at that time the succubus could not get out.
The investigation of the Great Zhou Dynasty is still continuing, and on the other hand, the demon beast clan is also taking this as a warning and carrying out screening. This task naturally fell to Xiong Zhen, and his ability at this time was visible to everyone. With the strength of the Supreme Five Grades, he resisted the succubus "Young Master" whose strength had skyrocketed, and finally captured Elder Yan It was also his credit.
It's hard to get the upper hand against a succubus of the same level. The strength of the demons has never been boasted. Even if it's just a succubus with a slightly weaker fighting power. This is not to say that the combat power of the succubus is not strong, but compared to their hiding and detection abilities, the combat power of the succubus is relatively weak.
However, even the weakest demons, their strength is not comparable to other races of the same level.
The combat power displayed by Xiong Zhen was at least one level higher than his own Supreme Five Rank Realm.
In other words, although Xiong Zhen's realm is in the Supreme Fifth Grade, his combat power is sufficient for the Supreme Sixth Grade.
The demon beast clan naturally will not just give Xiong Zhen a false name, but will have enough people for him, if you just look at the lineup, you can scare people to death.
The Supremes sent were all the same Supreme Realm Five Grades. Among them, there are one tiger clan, one fox clan, one leopard clan, one lion clan, one wolf clan, one crane clan, one elephant clan, one snake clan, one ape clan, and one eagle clan, a total of ten strong people.
plus Xiong Zhen himself, a total of eleven five-grade supremes. These eleven fifth-grade supremes are not ordinary demon beast clan supremes, the race they are in is the royal family among demon beasts. 117
This is also a signal from the demon beast clan, and it must be thoroughly investigated at this time.
Under such a powerful thorough investigation, Xiong Zhen and they really made a breakthrough. After their investigation, the previously missing fox clan was related to these succubi. It is the instigation of these succubi that makes some families in the human race willing to become pawns of the demon race, dealing with their allies for the sake of profit. For these families, Xiong Zhen did not say any hello to the human race, and directly went to the door to crusade and wiped out all these families.
This kind of iron-blooded method even makes Xiao Che feel chilled when he sees it, but he agrees with Xiong Zhen's approach, and it is appropriate for these shameless people to exterminate the clan.
The thunderous methods shown by the demon beast clan in this thunderbolt operation even the human race were collectively silenced. Someone also reported the matter, and Ji Fa's reply was that those Terrans deserve to die, and if Xiong Zhen doesn't do it, he will do the same.
No one said anything since. For a time, there were many courtiers involved in the Great Zhou Dynasty. The benefits are huge. The reason why Ji Fa acquiesced to Xiong Zhen's actions was also because the smuggling and trafficking of the demon fox clan had touched the bottom line of the Great Zhou Dynasty and touched the most fundamental interests of the human race. Those who sell demon foxes for profit never think about it. In doing so, they are hurting their hard-won strong alliance with the Demon Beast Clan.
This is the core interest of the Terrans. No one can touch it, and once it does, it is self-defeating.
Xiong Zhen and they rescued many fox clans in these families, but many more fox clans have already been sacrificed to the demons, or tortured to death. This made Xiong Zhen both heartbroken and angry.
Although he still has his own clan in his cultivation, they represent more of the interests of the entire demon beast, and they are also the guardians of the entire demon beast clan. In the face of the matter of the fox clan, how could they not be angry.
Soon the Terrans gave the most sincere apology, and because of the cooperation of the Terrans, through this incident, many Terrans who were secretly unfavorable to the demon beasts were uprooted. This calmed the anger of the demon beast clan.
The demon beast clan was not idle, and pulled out some of their demon beasts that secretly defected to the demon clan, which can be regarded as clearing some hidden dangers hidden in the dark.
The turmoil outside did not affect Xiao Che, these days, Xiao Che has been treating Xiaoxi and Huaqun in the Zhou family's stronghold, while practicing martial arts. Originally, he had also tested his spell talents, which turned out to be nonetheless. This made him a little regretful. But think about it, my martial arts talent is not very good, and it is normal that I don't have a magic talent.
"Xiao Che, you broke through. On this day, after Zhou Xiaodie took care of Xiaoxi, he saw that Xiao Che's martial arts cultivation had improved from the middle to the late Venerable Realm, and Zhou Xiaodie found that Xiao Che's realm had increased his strength greatly.
The current Xiao Che can be said to be invincible in the Venerable Realm. Originally, his defensive power was mainly very strong in concealment, but his attack power was weak, but now even his attack power has been improved, not to mention the Venerable Realm, looking at Xiao Che's means, I am afraid that it will be uncomfortable to take a slap in the Venerable Master Realm.
Recently, Xiao Che can be said to be double happy. Not only has the martial arts realm been upgraded by one level, but even the "Demon God Decision", which has not broken through for a long time, has also broken through from the claws of the demon god to the second level of the realm, the demon god palm.
Demon God's Palm, an advanced spiritual skill of the Demon God's Claw. With "Demon God Decision" as the core and the Demon God's claw as the foundation, a more advanced spiritual skill has evolved. Xiao Che had been trapped before, and he couldn't break through, but now he can break through with the improvement of the martial arts realm, which is an unexpected joy for Xiao Che.
"Fluttershy, how about competing with me?" These days, Xiao Che and Zhou Xiaodie's relationship has greatly improved. The names of the two people have also become much more intimate than before.
"Che, come on, see how powerful your attack is. Zhou Xiaodie is not to be outdone.
She knew Xiao Che's concealment ability, and it was naturally Xiao Che's attack power that she had to compete. After all, for Xiao Che in the past, attack power was an absolute weakness, but now he has made up for this shortcoming.
I saw that Xiao Che gave full play to the advanced Demon God Palm, Zhou Xiaodie parried calmly, and Xiao Che's Demon God Palm was already able to pose some threats to the ordinary Master Realm. However, it is still not a threat to a martial artist like Zhou Xiaodie, who is about to step into the late stage of the Venerable Master Realm.
This is not because the power of the Demon God Palm is not enough, but that Xiao Che's own strength is too weak. If Xiao Che and Zhou Xiaodie were at the same level now, then Zhou Xiaodie would not be able to deal with Xiao Che's Demon God Clutch as calmly as he does now.
After a simple fight, Zhou Xiaodie roughly figured out the limit of Xiao Che's attack power, which can cause damage to the early stage of the Venerable Master Realm, and will only bring some trouble to the martial artists after the middle of the Venerable Master Realm, but if it is a surprise sneak attack, it may be able to achieve better results. That's all it takes.
Xiao Che was not disappointed, but had a more comprehensive understanding of his strength, which made him very happy. At the same time, he also sighed that the higher the cultivation, the more difficult it is to fight beyond the level. He hadn't thought that he was no longer skipping the ranks, but leapfrogging battles.
If you change to another Venerable Realm, you are afraid that if you fight for your life, you will not be able to hurt the martial artists of the Venerable Master Realm in the slightest, even if it is only in the early stage of the Venerable Master Realm.
On this day, Xiong Zhen finally solved all the things and came to the Zhou family's stronghold, he was purely here to relax. These days, the bloody storm outside is basically set off by Xiong Zhen himself. As a demon beast, he is bloodthirsty in his bones, but now he has human emotions. Nature cannot be as wild as it was when it was uncivilized.
Now the bears of the bears are compassionate. This is also common to all demon beasts who have cultivated to his realm.
For example, the Tiger Clan was such a brutal demon beast before it was civilized, but once it cultivated to the Supreme Realm, then it would give birth to compassion and awe for life. For them, they have long been out of animal nature and more human.
However, the human nature of the human race is different, and the human nature and animal nature of the human race have nothing to do with cultivation, but have to do with the cultivation of the human race itself.
Some people are very weak and they are also beastly, and some people are strong and still have animal nature. Let's just say that those human families who were wiped out by Xiong before captured demon foxes for profit and betrayed the human race for profit. These are all manifestations of animal nature in humans.
Seeing Xiong Zhen's arrival, Xiao Che and Zhou Xiaodie warmly entertained him, which made Xiong Zhen feel much more relaxed, and the tense killing these days made his eyes reveal bloodthirsty wildness. Xiao Che and Zhou Xiaodie naturally found out about this, but they didn't have any fear of it.
Although the two of them stayed in the Zhou family's stronghold these days and did not go out, they knew the news that could be transmitted from all directions.
Xiong Zhen led the demon beast clan to kill the Quartet, which has caused the entire human race and the demon beast clan to be in an uproar.
Xiong Zhen found Xiao Che's cultivation at a glance and congratulated Xiao Che. This made Xiao Che very embarrassed.
After all, judging from the age ratio, Xiong Zhen and Xiao Che are comparable, at most one or two years older, but Xiong Zhen's current strength makes Xiao Che unreachable. Xiao Che didn't know how long it would take to reach Xiong Zhen's martial arts realm.
Although Xiong Zhen is a super demon in the demon beast clan, this makes Xiao Che see how insignificant he is at the level of the ten thousand clans. Even Xiong Zhen is a drop in the ocean among all races.
This made Xiao Che look forward to the vast martial arts world even more.
"Brother Xiong, tell me about the outside world. "Xiao Che knows that when talking to a demon beast with a character like Xiong Zhen, you have to have something to say, and hiding it is not a good thing.
"Brother Xiao Che, these days, my old bear and his brothers from the demon beast have killed those wicked people. Although the process was very enjoyable, it was also a little boring in hindsight. Xiong Zhen's expression was a little lonely.
"Why did the eldest brother say that? Xiao Che was very puzzled by Xiong Zhen's words.
"Brother, you said that I killed so many wicked people, but there will still be people who are tempted by the demons and sell their own race for profit. Not to mention you human race, even among our demon beasts, there are many such scum. So what if I can kill again?" said Xiong Zhen, lost in thought.
"Big brother, you can't say that, these people and demon beasts are a minority after all, they must be found and executed in batches, and they must not be merciful, otherwise it will cause a disaster. And eliminating them, even if a few fish slip through the net, will not affect the overall situation. It is beneficial for most humans and monsters. Xiao Che looked at the contemplative Xiong Zhen and said firmly.
