Chapter 122: The Imperial Council
"If you go outside, you must first settle inside!"
During the meeting, I don't know who it was, but suddenly said: "Do you still need to ask such a question? We haven't handled our own family affairs well, how can we be unanimous with the outside world?"
"Yes!" With this loud voice, everyone greeted one after another:
"Elder Tian is right, but the question is how do we deal with Sa Mo? You know, back then, the two presidents and vice presidents of our Martial Arts Association joined hands together, and they only sealed Sa Mo in Dugu's body, since that battle, our president Chu Yunlong has disappeared, and the vice president has also been seriously injured, for ten years, he has been trapped in the early stage of the firmament, and he can't move forward half a step, and now, in the entire Firmament Dragon Empire, who can still fight with Sa Mo?"
The Elder Tian in their mouths was none other than the Fire Elder who was ranked at the end of the top ten elders in the Martial Arts Guild, Tian Yuan!
Legend has it that the soul guard of this fire elder is a fire unicorn that is rare in 10,000 years, and it is a thousand-year-level soul guard, although it is only a martial saint-level existence, but with a strong soul guard, as well as the unique fire attribute soul power of the fire qilin, its status in the entire Dome Dragon Empire cannot be shaken.
Although Chen Gao's soul guard is also at the thousand-year level, and it is already at the early level of the martial dome, he can initially separate the soul guard phantom, but in the face of Fire Elder Tian Yuan, he is completely powerless to parry!
It can be said that the top ten elders of the Martial Arts Association are almost all demonic existences, and Zhao Tiancheng's strength is undoubtedly above the top ten elders of the Martial Arts Association, plus a president Chu Yunlong, two firmament-level masters, are not the opponents of Sa Mo, and they are only worthy of sealing it, and it is still at the cost of one missing and one seriously injured!
Now, Chu Yunlong is still missing, and Zhao Tiancheng, when the demon aura in Dugu's body was broken, he was seriously injured and left.
Therefore, the participants who opened their mouths were obviously against Tian Yuan's proposal, but due to Elder Huo's strength and status, it was only superficially agreed, and the practical questions he raised were what everyone should think about!
At that moment, the entire venue fell silent again, a deathly silence, as if this person who raised objections made everyone make it difficult again, or rather, began to worry about the survival of the entire Firmament Dragon Empire, and even the entire Firmament World!
"Everyone!"
At this moment, a loud voice broke the silence again, and I saw an old man in a brocade white robe, holding a gilded crane cane, suddenly got up, and his white robe shook all over his body, making a sound like a crane's roar, which made everyone unconsciously have a sense of sincerity!
This person is none other than Elder He, the head of the Ten Elders, Cao He, whose soul guard is a 10,000-year-level pine crane, and moreover, this person's martial arts realm has reached the late stage of the martial arts!
Although this Songhe is Zhuowei's ordinary soul guard, what is valuable is that the cultivation of his soul guard is at the level of 10,000 years, coupled with Cao He's own diligence and excellent talent, so he has reached the level of the late stage of Wuqiong, and the 10,000-year-old Songhe who split his soul even defeated Mo Chen's soul Ying Long in the military advice of that year, so that Mo Chen has not been able to recover from his injuries so far.
I only heard Cao He say to everyone:
"Maybe you have forgotten that the breath of the Devil, the reason why it is the breath, is because of its entity, in the encirclement and suppression of the year, it was foiled by the two presidents of my Martial Arts Association, and now this remnant of the breath of the Devil, after nearly twenty years of sealing, is also extremely weak, if you gather the strength of my Martial Arts Association and the Empire, I am completely sure that this Devil breath will be sealed again. ”
Hearing the words "seal again", everyone's eyes unconsciously showed surprise, they heard it right, what Cao He said was sealing, not grinding!
This means that in today's Firmament Dragon Empire, no one still has the strength to completely wipe out Samo, and only Samo's breath remains, and he may make a comeback at any time!
The most important thing is that the seal needs a carrier, and the carrier must be a human being who is strong enough in both physical and cultivation, and this person needs to take the initiative to sacrifice!
Just like Dugu Jue back then, he sacrificed himself to Samo, so that the Samo breath was injected and became the carrier of Samo, and it was precisely because of his active sacrifice that Chu Yunlong and Zhao Tiancheng had the opportunity to seal, otherwise, even if the two were martyred, they might not be able to seal the Samo breath!
Now, before he dies, Dugu will release Samo, which means that he needs to find another person who can withstand Samo's power, and once this person can't control Samo's power, he is very likely to become Samo's puppet!
This point, Dugu Jue has proved this with his own practice, and in the eyes of everyone, the so-called change of Dugu Jue is nothing more than because of the influence of Samo, these, the ten elders of the Martial Arts Association, and the imperial marshal who participated in the battle with Samo back then, all know!
Now, Cao He once again proposed that the statement of sealing the demon is undoubtedly telling everyone: someone must take the initiative to sacrifice!
Now, the situation of the Dugu family is well known, the entire Dugu family, since Dugu's death, has been condemned as a traitor, and there are 36 people in the Dugu family, all of whom are in the imperial prison and waiting for trial!
With such an ending, how many people are willing to take the initiative to "sacrifice"?
Human beings are selfish animals, but they are infused with morality and conscience, so that this selfishness can be defeated, and when morality and conscience are ignored and neglected, who is willing to give up their selfishness for the sake of these selfish people in front of them?
Now, those who can sit here and participate in the highest council of the empire, or the famous families in the Qionglong Empire, or the high-level members of the empire, or important members of the Martial Arts Association, whether they are current or status, will not let them easily do this kind of "sacrifice" at the expense of themselves and the entire family, which will follow in the footsteps of the Dugu family at any time.
As a martial artist, death is not terrible, what I am afraid of is that I will die unclearly, I am afraid that I will die worthlessly, and I am afraid that I will never look blind after death!
No one knows when Dugu Jue began to be affected by Samo, and no one knows what kind of trial the thirty-six members of the Dugu family who were admitted to the imperial prison will face!
This scene, one after another, made everyone unconsciously lower their heads again, afraid that one of their eyes would be mistaken by Cao He for "volunteering"!
At this time, even if Chen Gao had the heart of sacrifice, the ending of the Dugu family made him have to bow his head in shame!
"Rubbish, a bunch of rubbish!"
As the sharp insult came from the door, everyone's eyes unconsciously looked towards the door of the conference hall, only to see the two copper gates, as if swept by a strong wind, like two residual leaves between the treetops, trembling to both sides!
"Whirring ......"
A strong qi hit the venue like a hurricane, and everyone unconsciously had a sense of reverence when they felt the cold of this energy!
"It's Chen Shaoyang, it's the python general Chen Shaoyang!"
Finally, someone in the crowd felt the soul power from this breath, and he couldn't help but murmur, this murmur was like seeing a turning point when he was at the end of the road!
"Wouldn't it? Since the Reserve Military Academy was abolished ten years ago, Chen Shaoyang was sent to the border, how did he appear here?"
"Yes, this news is also spreading too fast, Samos just broke the seal yesterday, this Chen Shaoyang is here, don't you want to take the opportunity to make a comeback?"
"Hey, I have to admire, the name of General Python is not for nothing, just the momentum of who is willing to sacrifice me, it is really not something that ordinary people can have, I just don't know, he is willing to sacrifice!"
“......”
With a whisper, the guy who was the first to recognize Chen Shaoyang instantly felt a sense of inplace, as if these whispering "conspiracy" was despising his ignorance again and again, so that he had to put away the snickering joy in his heart.
This is the Firmament Dragon Empire, this is the reason why Sun Wu retreated, this is the reason why Mo Chen rose up to resist, and it is the form that Mo Chen will have to face in the future.
Of course, Chen Shaoyang listened to these whispers in his ears, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes, and at the same time, with that python-like coercion, those whisperers instantly shut up, and even at the moment when he looked at Chen Shaoyang, there was a sense of unease and threat!
This is the mad python general, this is the coercion of a martial artist, the reason why the enemy calls Chen Shaoyang "bloodthirsty python" is because the bloodthirsty and domineering in his eyes are intimidating.
Although Chen Shaoyang was awarded the rank of colonel by the empire, he was only a small principal in the reserve military academy, he had thought about it, and he had also tried to attach himself to various forces, and even deliberately took care of the children of various families who were sent to the reserve military academy to be gilded!
But Mo Chen's resistance and Liu Meng's death made Chen Shaoyang finally have an epiphany, on the day of the abolition of the reserve military academy, the martial arts association and the imperial lord extended an olive branch to Chen Shaoyang at the same time, but Chen Shaoyang refused one by one, and chose to join the frontier and guard the border.
This act, in Chen Shaoyang's view, is to comfort those heroes who truly dedicate and sacrifice for the Firmament Dragon Empire, but in the eyes of these selfish and shameless people, Chen Shaoyang is just a reckless man who does not know how to mediate.
Now, although they are forced by Chen Shaoyang's coercion, they unconsciously have a common idea in their hearts: "Chen Shaoyang is the best carrier of Samo!"
That's right, the original corpse of Samo is a Titan python, an existence in ancient times, God knows how this Titan python has survived in physical form to this day, and the nearly a million years of cultivation allow it to transform between human form and serpentine form at will!
You must know that the existence of the ancient period has almost dissipated the entity, and it is constantly changing in the form of soul guarding, but the existence of the Titan Python, non-martial artist, non-immortal master, is an existence independent of the sky, coupled with the bloodthirsty and violent Titan, everywhere it goes, not a single inch of grass grows, so it is called by the people of this firmament world: Samo, that is, the terrifying devil!
A thousand years ago, Chu Yunlong founded the Martial Arts Association, and the Imperial Lord and held the Dome Dragon, a hundred years ago, Chu Yunlong should make a bet with the Imperial Lord, and lead the Martial Arts Association and individual imperial marshals to exterminate the Samo!
In that battle, the earth-shattering, weeping ghosts and gods, the two presidents of the Martial Arts Association, Chu Yunlong and Zhao Tiancheng, disappeared since then, and the ten elders of the Martial Arts Association, only Cao He, went to the eight marshals together, and all of them died! Chen Gao's father also died in that battle.
It is said that at that time, Cao He escaped with the unique martial arts of Songhe's soul, and the child named Dugu Jue that he brought to the meeting became one of the top ten marshals.
Ten years ago, Chen Gao set up an information center to collect news and secrets from all corners of the firmament world, in order to know the truth of the demon suppression war back then!
But the scattered information has never formed a complete story chain, and now, Chen Shaoyang's words made Chen Gao react immediately.
I saw Chen Shaoyang coming towards the center of the venue and said:
"The body of Samo is a Titan Python, so the Samo breath, the carrier you want, must have the soul guard of the snake python, this is why Dugu Hong's Huang Mang Soul Guard, although it has only been cultivated for a hundred years, can still be used as a carrier by Samo, Elder Cao, am I right?"
Chen Shaoyang said this, and the soul power of the blood python around him was like infinite ice and snow, and a snow python phantom appeared behind him, and the cold aura brought by the soul power made Chen Shaoyang unconsciously have frost marks wherever he passed.
These words were said to Cao He, so inadvertently, Chen Shaoyang's domineering coercion and soul power aura naturally pounced on Cao He like a flood beast.
This kind of aura made Cao He, who was standing in the center of the venue and holding a gilded crane cane in his hand, unconsciously break out in a cold sweat on his forehead under Chen Shaoyang's coercion, and between his eyebrows, after feeling Chen Shaoyang's cold soul power, it instantly condensed frost!
"Soul Eater?
Finally, Cao He saw Chen Shaoyang's martial arts level, ten years ago, Chen Shaoyang was only a martial artist in the late stage of the martial arts, although he reached the realm of soul separation, but he always stopped, and now, in just ten years, Chen Shaoyang actually broke through, and it turned out to be the sky level!
Although there is only a small realm difference between the late stage of the martial dome and the early stage of the firmament, it is the distance between the two levels, and it is completely different!
Just like Cao He in front of him, in the demon suppression operation a hundred years ago, he had already reached the Martial Dome level, but now, a full hundred years have passed, but he can only stick to the late stage of the Martial Dome level, and it is difficult to surpass it!
And now, Chen Shaoyang's promotion has almost reached the level of Zhao Tiancheng, and it can be said unceremoniously that Chen Shaoyang at this time can be included in the candidate list for vice president, which makes Cao He unwilling and jealous in his heart!
"That's right!" At this moment, Cao He secretly operated his soul power, and the frost between his eyebrows evaporated instantly, replaced by a trace of gloom, only to hear Cao He say with a strange smile:
"General Chen, you have the 10,000-year-old Snow Python Soul Guard, which is the best carrier for Sa Mo, and with General Chen's cultivation in the early stage of your firmament, you should be able to restrain the influence of Sa Mo, so as to avoid the recurrence of such an incident as Dugu, right?"
Hearing Cao He's words, Chen Gao couldn't help but greet Cao He's ancestors for the eighteenth generation, sure enough, it was an old man, a ghost and an old spirit, Cao He's words were undoubtedly digging a pit for Chen Shaoyang!
Chen Shaoyang does not accept it, he has a 10,000-year-old snow python and does not dedicate himself to the empire, it is regarded as disloyal, and if he is affected, once he is affected by the breath of the demon and walks in the footsteps of Dudu, it is regarded as unrighteousness, even if Chen Shaoyang is now alone, but it also means that in this regard, he will have no future at all!
Imagine, after experiencing Dugu, Chen Shaoyang, who has the power of Samo, is undoubtedly regarded as a time bomb-like existence?
But when Chen Gao's gaze turned to Chen Shaoyang, he was stunned, because at this time, Chen Shaoyang's eyes were as calm as the Dead Sea, without a trace of ripples, as if he was completely unaware of the conspiracy hidden in Cao He's words.
