393 Master of Tribulation
In the corner, a father-in-law dressed in a plain costume walked down the stairs and came slowly.
"Where did the country horsemen come from, and they didn't look at this place, they dared to spread wild here!"
The man, dressed in a wide outer cedar and stepping on clogs, obviously dressed as a Chinese, sat still with a slightly trembling figure, and loudly reprimanded the rude behavior of the second elder.
"Competitive competition, winning or losing is the most normal, is it only allowed for you to win, and if you are injured, you will cry and call your mother wronged!?"
"That's it, that's it, it's your previous disciple...... Burn people alive, people don't think you are so unreasonable!"
"Don't think that this is in the territory of your Qing Dynasty, we will swallow our anger, it really angers everyone, see how you end up!"
Some people began to question the actions of the representatives of the 'Zhengyi Sect', and those who had suffered losses in the competition suddenly broke out their dissatisfaction and provocatively accused the Second Elder.
"Envoys, don't be impatient, the competition will be carried out normally, and my Qing Dynasty will also give you an explanation for this immortal master's reckless behavior!"
Seeing that there is a trace of truth, it was disturbed by the two stupid people with worrying IQs of the 'Zhengyi Sect'.
Becoming a bully with the advantage of the organizer and suspected of favoring the contestants, the face of the father-in-law in Huafu became more and more ugly, like a wonderful color palette.
"Hmph! This father-in-law has such a cultivation realm, and he is willing to degenerate and die for that emperor, which is really insulting the reputation of an immortal cultivator!"
From the moment he stood up, Zhang Shanyuan was ready to be accused by others, but the eunuch who did nothing also coaxed, which really made Zhang Shanyuan feel gloomy.
As early as the first time he entered the Forbidden City to participate in the palace banquet, the second elder found that there were people who cultivated and did not lose to him in the slightest.
Now, if it weren't for someone still lying on the ground vomiting blood, only this old eunuch looked at him leisurely, he really wouldn't have put it in his eyes.
If it weren't for the treasure hidden on the other party's body, the most likely thing was that he was the immortal cultivator hiding in the shadows.
"It doesn't matter what the identity is, the key is to be able to protect the world of the Qing Dynasty!"
"Alas, I'm just a superficial monk, just thinking about living in peace and watching the younger generations get married!"
The other party's ambiguous pushing and propulsion behavior made the second elder more sure of the identity of the other party's immortal cultivator.
I also agreed with the father-in-law opposite's statement, but seeing the tragic state of Xiao Shuang'er like a blood gourd in the light curtain, the second elder changed his long-held obsession in vain.
"Second Senior Brother, whether you are beating or rushing, Xiao Shuang'er can't hold on!"
The dispute in the three-story hall of the white jade round giant platform did not have the slightest impact on the Hundred Flowers Fairy who was in the duel.
Zhang Lingshuang, who was being wantonly abused in the light curtain, was like a marionette, thrown away and rubbed at will.
Zhang Lingshuang gushed blood from time to time, mixed with blood clots the size of fingernails, and it looked like his internal organs had been seriously damaged.
"It's hard for this father-in-law to return to the Holy Lord, our 'Zhengyi Sect' abstained from voting in this athletic match, please notify the woman of the country...... Stop attacking!"
Realizing that this external power would have no effect on the father-in-law of Huafu, the second elder directly restrained the fluctuations of his spiritual power, and walked to the staircase to go downstairs to save people.
"This immortal master should not be in a hurry, please follow the old man to the emperor and inform yourself!"
While speaking, the father-in-law in a Chinese costume waved his hand to block the exit downstairs, and turned sideways to give up the upstairs position.
"Don't think that you can stop two masters of the Cave Void Realm with a little father-in-law......!
Just when Fifth Elder Zhang Shancheng wanted to support his senior brother and waved his hand to get rid of the figure of his father-in-law who was blocking the way, he felt a huge coercion as if a catastrophe had descended in vain.
Zhang Shanyi felt that the blood around his body seemed to freeze in an instant, and the chill spread to every nerve ending, and the hairs stood erect uncontrollably.
"Senior brother, follow me upstairs!"
At that moment, Second Elder Zhang Shanyuan also felt the huge coercion from the superiors.
Although it was only for a moment, it was a terrifying coercion that could only be unleashed by a bloodthirsty person who had been on the battlefield for a long time, and it still made the proud Second Elder tremble.
According to Zhang Shanyuan's hundreds of years of cultivation experience, around the emperor upstairs, there must be a great power in the tribulation period.
If the three of their senior brothers shoot together, even if they can have the strength to fight with each other, they will inevitably have a tie due to many factors, not to mention that the head of the sect still doesn't know where to go.
The two of them, who had made their decision, slowly walked up to the top observation deck specially prepared for the emperor, but when they stepped on the final steps, they were surprised but overwhelmed by what they saw.
The huge venue is a little empty, and on the throne carved with gold lacquer, His Majesty the Emperor wears a golden crown with a bundle of hair and a bright-colored brocade robe embroidered with the pattern of the dragon of the sea.
Next to the table beside the emperor, a middle-aged man dressed in plain clothes with a heroic look between his eyebrows was slowly bringing a cup of hot tea to his mouth.
As the head of the 'Zhengyi Sect', Zhang Shanxing is like an obedient treasure at this moment, kneeling in the middle of the entire venue, bowing his head slightly like a disciple listening to the training.
"Brother Zhang!?Why are your eyes blue?"
Finally seeing the senior brother in charge, the fifth elder Zhang Shan, who was full of grievances and had nowhere to vent his grievances, rushed to the senior brother in a few steps.
I just wanted to complain to the other party, but I found that the bruised and swollen side face of the senior brother in charge whispered and cared.
"Your Majesty the Emperor, I 'Zhengyijiao' think that my consciousness is not high, and I dare not resist the major affairs of the country on my shoulders, and I ask Your Majesty to leave my little niece a way out!"
The second elder, who had probably guessed the development of the situation, although he was a little hesitant in his heart, but thinking that Shuang'er was suffering, he still waved his hand and clenched his fist and bowed, regardless of many evasions.
"Senior brother, don't let our disciples not learn well, which affects the image of the Qing Dynasty as fair and selfless in the eyes of all countries!"
The head of the 'Zhengyi Sect', who didn't even care about his junior brother, opened his mouth in vain at this moment to reproach the second elder, which immediately attracted everyone's inquiring eyes.
"Senior brother, with the current situation of Shuang'er, do you understand the result of saying this?"
Although he vaguely understood the concerns of the senior brother, the second elder still couldn't accept such a cowardly performance, and knowingly wanted a definite answer from the other party.
The five elders who had already come to the side of the elder brother in charge were uncharacteristically silent, as if they had accepted the fate of Zhang Lingshuang's possible demise.
"As a citizen of the Qing Dynasty, I have the responsibility to contribute to the country, so don't talk about it!"
"Aiqing can figure out this, and I might as well cultivate the 'Zhengyi Sect' carefully, as long as this competition can be successfully concluded, I will definitely not treat you badly!"
Looking at the head of the 'Zhengyi Sect' who was so knowledgeable, His Majesty the Emperor who was high up, his eyes swept over the middle-aged man who was still drinking tea on the side, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a meaningful smile.
"Immortal masters...... Please!!"
As soon as His Majesty the Emperor's words fell, the father-in-law in Huafu bowed slightly and stepped forward slowly, leaned over and picked up Zhang Shanxing, who had always been kneeling, and wanted to walk towards the stairs.
The fifth elder Zhang was full of doubts, and subconsciously stepped forward to take his hand, waiting to see the kneeling position of the senior brother in charge, and there were bright red blood stains.
The Fifth Elder, who had found the source of the bloody qi, his eyes trembled slightly unconsciously, his fingers quickly retracted into fists, and he just wanted to do something, but he was grabbed by the senior brother in charge.
"Give me a hand, I'm old, I can't kneel for a while!"
Zhang Shanxing, who didn't want his junior brother to make a rash move and make the same fate as himself, almost put the weight of the whole person on his junior brother, and forced the other party to leave with him.
Zhang Shanxing staggered down the stairs, leaving the pavilion in the lake with the two junior brothers with a sad face, and did not stop until a small road.
"Tell me! What makes you the head of a faction, even your beloved daughter can give up!"
Second Elder Zhang Shanyuan looked at the faintly visible light curtain in the middle of the lake, and Zhang Lingshuang was like a dilapidated doll being discarded aside.
The bottom of my heart seems to have been hit hard by countless sharp blades at the same time, and I want to resist and vent but I can't find any outlet, so I have to hold the culprit in front of me who changed his mind in vain.
"Earlier, I left you and was going to go directly to the competition venue to rescue Frost, and I was looking around for an entrance, but I was stopped by an ordinary man!"
"The man who just sat next to the emperor without any spiritual power fluctuations around him!?"
As soon as Zhang Shanxing spoke, the second elder focused on that different man, after all, with the emperor's arrogant and arrogant character, it was difficult for ordinary people to get into his eyes.
"At the beginning, I was a first aid person, and the other party didn't have a trace of anger around him, so I didn't care, but I didn't want to pass by ...... of it!"
Zhang Shanxing wanted to speak and stopped, because he didn't know how to describe it, and the power of his own realm of void was plotted, so he had to lift his shirt and let his juniors see the injury on his leg.
"Sit down! I'll give you some...... Medicine!"
The Fifth Elder was still immersed in the sadness of losing several of his teachers and nephews, and it was not until the bloody aura around him intensified that he suddenly came back to his senses and remembered the injuries of his senior brothers.
After Zhang Xianyi cleaned up the affected area around him with water, he looked at the calf that looked like a fireball burn, and couldn't help but stare at the senior brother with a puzzled face.
"Your own spells...... Hurt?"
"No, the fireball technique that that person casts is a spell that doesn't need to be directly activated by the talisman!"
Regarding the second junior brother's question, Zhang Shanxing seemed a little embarrassed, but in order to let everyone understand the current situation, Zhang Shanxing still answered the question truthfully.
"There are only a handful of sects with this strange technique, but I didn't expect them to be serious, but the act of stabbing the knife in the back is a good hand!"
As a middle-ranked sect in the entire Immortal Cultivation Realm, it is understandable for the 'Zhengyi Sect' to participate in this Nine Nations Athletic Competition.
But the top two sects closed their doors and thanked the guests, and now they are even more arrogant to the emperor, so that everyone can only watch the disciples suffer here, which really makes people unwilling to resent.
"I heard that that person entered the period of catastrophe more than a hundred years ago, and assisted the founding emperor of the Qing Dynasty to lay down the country that originally belonged to the Han family!"
"Damn! Could he be the general who slaughtered a hundred cities...... Dolgon, huh!?"
Combined with the many details of what the elder brother said, the five elders couldn't help but think of the many bloody crimes committed in the Huaxia Dynasty when the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, and the first general of the Qing Dynasty made people look different.
The Qing Dynasty first entered the Han Dynasty, due to different beliefs and living habits, coupled with years of war and empty treasury, excessive greed of officials, resulting in many frightening bloody tragedies.
The Massacre of Zhaozhou, the Massacre of Yangzhou, the Three Massacres of Jiading, the Massacre of Kunshan, the Massacre of Jiaxing, the Massacre of Jiangyin on the 81st, the Massacre of Changshu, the Massacre of Sichuan, the Massacre of Jinhua, the Massacre of Nanchang, the Massacre of Xiangtan, the Massacre of Nanxiong, the Massacre of Fenzhou, the Massacre of Datong, the Massacre of Guangzhou, the Massacre of Chaozhou and other nearly 100 bloody massacres.
At the beginning of entering the customs, in order to deter many resistance forces, Dolgon and Xiaozhuang adopted a policy of slaughtering the city in resistance.
Publicly issued notices, declaring: The people and thieves are mixed, the jade is inseparable, or the whole city is slaughtered, or the men are slaughtered and the women are kept.
Among them, the Qing army invaded Zhaozhou and carried out a massacre, and 25,000 people were killed.
The Qing army broke through the city of Yangzhou and carried out a massacre for 10 days, the women's long ropes were covered in mud, babies were all over the ground, the roads were full of corpses, and the corpses were covered in a mountain of flesh and blood, and the filthy smell was unbearable.
The people of Jiaxing were unwilling to be tyrannical, and the people who could not escape after the defeat were almost all slaughtered, except for some captured women and monks, and about 500,000 people were killed.
Under the bloody tyranny, after the defeat of the Qing army in the battle against the Sichuan and Shaanxi armies, the Qing army directly beheaded all the living people in Sichuan, and no less than 5 million people died.
At one time, it caused the nest of swallows to empty the forest, the corpses were filled with mountains, the blood and scorched earth covered the red face, and the orphan child still explored the tragedy of the mother's breastfeeding.
"Killed so many creatures, why is that bastard still alive!?"
Recalling the unbearable past, the second elder Zhang Shanyuan, who had always been calm and calm, couldn't help but tremble all around, feeling like he was in an ice cave.
"Hehe, that person just told me that he found some friends to be guests in Laoshan, do you think I still have a choice!?"
Zhang Shanxing, who told the facts, did not have a trace of relief and smoothness, but failed to protect the tens of millions of people because he was young.
Now that she is old and can't protect her daughter, she feels extremely annoyed and guilty about such a dilapidated life.
Faced with this situation, the second elder, who was about to act secretly just now, immediately dispelled his ridiculous thoughts.
The second elder Zhang Shanyuan turned around a little unwillingly, looked in the direction of the light curtain, and secretly prayed in his heart that the women of the country would be merciful.
............
The clear blue sky was like a fireball of the sun hanging in the void, and the clouds seemed to be melted by the sunlight and disappeared without a trace.
The breeze flows with a slight warmth, and the endless meadows are covered with bright wildflowers of various shapes, which are steamed by the sun hanging high in the sky, as if the air is filled with sweet and intoxicating smells.
Swarms of bees flutter diligently among the flowers, dragonflies as if afraid of the sun hurting their wings, clinging to the shade of the trees, and occasionally grasshoppers scurrying out of the meadow, adding a life to the lush land.
"In the past ten days, there have been more and more flowers and plants, and even the species of insects have become richer! But this little Lingyun has not appeared for a long time, do you think he should not be destroyed by that Xuanwu!"
The Vajra White Ape, who had just finished assigning today's training task to his demon beasts, stood at the entrance of the Necromantic Demon King's hierarchy and muttered to himself in the air.
"You'd better pray that he's okay, knowing that we weren't on the Xuanwu side in the first place!"
For the stupid big man who keeps repeating the same questions every day, the Necromantic Demon King has reached the point where he can't bear it anymore.
If it weren't for the fact that he still needed to balance those little demon beasts, the Necromantic Demon King wouldn't mind at all, and there were many panting attendants around him.
"Which of you is cultivating?"
The unsociable ghost-faced tarantula opened his mouth in vain and asked everyone in the form of psychic communication, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"I'm arranging all physical training, and it should be about the same if it consumes cattle!"
As soon as King Kong White Ape's words fell, the Necromantic Demon King, who had not gone out for several days, broke out of the door in vain and ran towards the floor that Zhang Lingyun had prepared for Xuanwu downstairs.
"You can feel a wisp of coercion through the layers of taboos, and this is afraid that it will be the rhythm of fusing the 'magic circle fragments'!"
The ghost-faced tarantula looked at the three people who were one step ahead, waved his hand and stroked the arch that was as clear as glass, and the corners of his mouth hooked up an intriguing smile.
"That's not right...... Get out of the way!"
A few people caressed the arch in the form of a ghost-faced tarantula, and there was nothing special about it.
On the contrary, it was the Necromantic Demon King, whose spiritual sense was much higher than everyone else, sensed an increasingly powerful spiritual sense power, and while reminding everyone loudly, his body flashed and swept to the side.
"Whoosh......!"
As the arch slowly opened, a black and white ball of light burst out in vain, like a no-man's land, directly revealing the layers of prohibition of the 'Linglong Pagoda', and slammed into the empty grass.
"Boom......!"
Just when everyone was stunned by the sudden scene, the flat grass that was falling by the ball of light was like a boulder entering the water, setting off layers of oscillating fluctuations.
With the ball of light as the center, several meters high, sand and soil surging towards the surroundings, the whole picture gives people an indescribable sense of weirdness.
"No, I didn't find any trace of Ling Yun, what should I do?"
"The smell of that kid has been everywhere for the past few years, but there is no one!?"
King Kong White Ape and Golden Armor Ox came out of the empty room with the ball of light rushing out one after another, their faces full of nervousness and worry, giving people the feeling that they were really worried about Zhang Lingyun's safety.
"What's the panic, after this level, that little guy will become a sparrow!"
The Necromantic Demon King, who had had the experience of ascending, had a face full of disbelief, but he showed a slightly vicissitudes of life, and slowly shook his head.
Thinking that he was 300 years old and soaring, it was already a myth of the entire immortal cultivation world, but he didn't want this little kid to be in his twenties, and he would reach a height that everyone would be out of reach in their lives.
"Haha, haha, we're betting right!"
"One person soars to the happiness of the whole family, I believe that after this Lingyun soars in the future, our good days are not far away!"
Hearing this accurate news, the two big men, King Kong White Ape and Jin Jia Niu, like children of several years old, tightly grasped each other's arms and spun in place.
At this moment, Zhang Lingyun's divine soul, which was still in a state of chaos, began to continuously fuse the spiritual power ball in the sea of consciousness space under the mobilization of the 'Law Fragment'.
Zhang Lingyun's physical body in the real world, under the futile impact of such a huge amount of energy, the spiritual veins around his body continued to wriggle as if they had penetrated into a small worm.
"Click, click......!"
Zhang Lingyun's spiritual veins, which had been expanded many times, once again ushered in the impact of majestic energy, and the sound of bones shattering continued due to the surge of spiritual power, as if it was crushed on a grinding plate.
Zhang Lingyun, who was breathing extremely rapidly, kept shaking and spasming his body, and beads of sweat seeped out of his pores, and soon soaked through his clothes.
The wisps of golden and green light reflected each other from Zhang Lingyun's body, dazzling like the brightest stars in the night, illuminating the entire room transparently.
The surrounding auras in the void seemed to be guided, and they all surrounded Zhang Lingyun, but they did not approach him very tacitly, as if they were afraid of polluting the young man who was in the process of transformation.
............
The Italian warriors who had completed the battle slowly walked out of the white mist, looked at the familiar environment around them, and subconsciously stood in place waiting for someone to lead the way.
"The Marquis of Anglis is too powerful......! You didn't pay attention to the jaw-dropping expressions of the group...... ,”
The Italian soldier in purple clothes was idle, covering his injured arm, and his saliva was flying to describe the picture of being rescued.
It is a very honorable thing to completely ignore the embarrassing image of oneself in the eyes of his companions, as if he could be saved by Lord Anglis.
"Lord Anglis, a few people in that light curtain seem to be Zhang Gongzi's classmates!"
The gray-clothed soldier Ji'an, who was not interested in the topic of his companions, turned his head to look around, and found that in a huge light curtain hundreds of meters away, the image of several people being abused was playing.
The scantily clad woman in tulle was walking towards the fainting man with a long knife in her hand, and the woman behind her, who looked like a bloody person, stretched out her arms as if pleading.
"Damn! Did this woman rob her husband, or did she jump into the well with her child!
The purple-clothed warrior who was talking about Zhenghuan looked in the direction of the light curtain, and subconsciously said what he thought in his heart, until his partner next to him kept pulling his clothes.
Finding that the Marquis of Anglis's face had turned cold, the purple warrior immediately shut up and cautiously stepped back, pretending to be a transparent person.
"Send a message to the envoy of Heguo, I have been taken care of by the 'Zhengyi Sect' before, if there is no deep hatred, I will let people live, and I will have my own thank you gift later!"
Looking in the direction that Ji An was pointing, Anglis's eyes narrowed slightly, and an imperceptible fierce light flashed, and the palm behind his back suddenly closed.
Angliss took a deep breath to stabilize his irritability, looked at the thick white mist around him, and whispered to Ji'an to explain the rescue plan.
"My subordinates are going!"
Glancing at the purple-clothed warrior who didn't know the severity, Ji An waved his hand and clenched his fist and lightly pounded his chest in salute, taking a step forward in the direction of the light curtain.
............
"It's over...... It's over!
