Volume 1 The Scourge of Ascension Chapter 43 Contradictions
Under Cheng Hao's comfort, Xu Qing knelt there guarding the remains of his parents, crying silently. The mood has slowly stabilized, but after a long time, I feel a little out of breath, as if I am about to suffocate.
Cheng Hao knew that this was because of the rejection of the internal space of Shending. The lower the cultivation, the shorter the time he can stay here, which is also something he has learned recently. Except for himself, no one else could stay in the Shending space for a long time.
After sending Xu Qing out, Cheng Hao came to the Shending space again. At this time, Zao Wou-Ki also slowly woke up, and he was almost broken under the pressure of the God King, but fortunately, he was saved by Cheng Hao in time, coupled with the extremely powerful healing effect here, although his body was still a little unwell, it didn't have much impact.
"Hao'er, is this really the internal space of the jade pendant? That person is really the god king in your mouth?"
Zao Wou-Ki rubbed his drowsy head and looked in the direction of the Heavenly Pillar, which was already obscured by a thick white mist, but he still felt palpitations. That coercion alone almost killed him on the spot, and he couldn't even resist.
He couldn't imagine how powerful this person would be if he really existed in front of him! He believed that if he had gotten closer just now, I'm afraid Cheng Hao wouldn't have had time to drag him out at all. Fortunately, with his cultivation, he can't get too close, otherwise Cheng Hao is afraid that he will regret it for life.
"Yes, everything is true! not only him, but also them..."
Cheng Hao knows very well that it is difficult to believe this kind of thing, and it is normal for Zao Wou-Ki to not accept it for a while. As he spoke, he waved his sleeves, and the thick white mist dispersed, and a passage about two people high and hundreds of zhang long was formed, but the surrounding white mist seemed to be blocked by an invisible barrier, and it was impossible to enter at all.
This was just a way for Cheng Hao to control it after refining the Divine Ding, but in the eyes of Zao Wou-ki, it was like a miracle. If he was allowed to do it, he might be able to temporarily dispel these white mist with his true qi with his innate cultivation, but he would definitely not be able to make them permanently form a channel.
Looking at the end of the passage, there is a huge head! Even if it is hundreds of feet away, looking at it can give people a very oppressive feeling. And what shocked Zao Wou-Ki even more was that this passage, which was two people high, couldn't fully show the overall appearance of this head!
"What is this?" Zao Wou-Ki himself didn't even notice, his voice was already unconsciously frightened. Such a giant beast, even he had never heard of it, let alone seen it.
"Nine Babies, one of the Ten Ancient Beasts"
Cheng Hao said lightly. Then he walked along the passage, and Zao Wou-Ki quickly followed. Wouldn't it be a pity if you had the opportunity to not observe it?
The qi and blood of the ancient fierce beast are extremely powerful, as one of the king-level fierce beasts, they used to be the existence of the dominant side, and the qi and blood of the nine-headed beast in this are even more powerful! You know, he himself almost fell under the coercion of Han Qi at the beginning.
"I can control it by myself outside of the Heavenly Pillar, so it's okay for us to go and take a look!"
This Nine Infant can be said to be only stronger than the Han Qi, if it weren't for Cheng Hao's mastery of the God King Ding, he could control their aura like a bright demonic beast without being exposed, he definitely didn't dare to approach them easily.
"Isn't this a legendary dragon? no, it has more than one head!"
The distance of hundreds of zhang was only instantaneous, and the thing in front of him made Zao Wou-Ki lose his voice and be shocked! Beyond the transparent space barrier was a huge head nearly ten zhang long, like the head of a legendary dragon. It was only when Cheng Hao dispersed all the surrounding white fog and revealed the full picture of the Nine Babies that Zao Wou-Ki found that this was far from the so-called giant dragon!
"Nine babies, also called nine-headed insects! The nine Jiao heads have their own magical powers, and their bodies are huge and have the ability to turn over rivers and seas..."
When Cheng Hao introduced, Zao Wou-Ki didn't know what to say. At such a distance, it is still impossible to see the whole picture of the Nine Infants, it is so big that except for a few heads in the near distance, the thick body spreads into the endless depths, and the rest of the body is not visible at all!
The space of the Divine Ding with a radius of thousands of zhang is already shocking enough, and in addition to the barrier that can accommodate more than one such huge beast, I am afraid there is even more extensive space!
Time passed little by little, and after browsing all the fierce beasts, except for Zhao Wuji, who had already begun to be ostracized by the Shending Space, they had already entered for long enough time, and they had to leave this place in order not to worry others!
Outside, it was already dawn, Xu Qing sat near the bonfire after returning to the camp, and after Cheng Hao came back, she looked up at him and showed a smile, although she still didn't speak, but she could obviously feel that her mood was much better than before!
The others were still asleep, and Cheng Hao didn't plan to wake them up, Huzi and Ergou themselves didn't cultivate, and it was really difficult for them to travel for a day in the hot weather. Ying Tianxing and Lu Chunfeng drank wine all night, and at this moment, they fell under the tree and fell asleep holding a wine jar!
Without waiting for Cheng Hao to wake up the two, they couldn't sleep normally, even in the hot weather, even in the early morning, as soon as the sun was up, the ground was already on fire. Early in the morning, the cicadas screamed loudly, and that day, the heat was crazy.
Ying Tianxing and Lu Chunfeng were fine, they stood up and patted their clothes, and they suddenly woke up under the operation of their internal forces! But Huzi and Ergou couldn't hold on for a while, they couldn't stand the high temperature, and dragged their tired bodies to prepare to hurry.
This side hurriedly left under the scorching sun, far away in the capital of Chu State, but the headquarters of the Six Gates had already exploded. Chu Xiong returned with a serious injury, but what he brought back was the bad news that Niu Yuan and Jian Chen died in Qingzhou City, and Zhang Ling and the others were even dead!
In Qingzhou City, near the former Xu's Medical Center, the surrounding rents have been destroyed, and the original streets have been plowed out by the sword qi into countless deep ditches.
At this moment, at the edge of a crack tens of meters deep, a middle-aged man in a green shirt looked at Jian Chen's corpse below, his face was gloomy, and the knuckles of his fingers that were tightened behind him turned white. Behind him, a group of hunters dressed in Six Doors costumes were looking at the battle traces around him and whispering.
"That's enough!" Shu Tianhan shouted angrily to interrupt the noisy discussion behind him, "Check it for me, find the clue of the Sword Saint at all costs, and get the Nine Turns Jade Pendant!"
As soon as the words fell, the people behind him immediately stopped their voices, and walked out of a lot of traps and acted separately. But all the people who have been in contact with Cheng Hao have been paid attention to, even the inn Wu shopkeeper who went to Qingzhou City with Cheng Hao at the beginning is no exception.
Shu Tianhan himself took several innate masters to the Qingcheng faction angrily, according to the information obtained through his subordinates in the past few days, the Qingcheng faction and Cheng Hao are likely to have close contact for a long time, and this time it is necessary to let them give themselves an explanation.
Since taking on the case many years ago, he has been frustrated. Decades ago, the Nine Turns Jade Pendant was first introduced, just as the current King of Chu ascended the throne.
Shu Tianhan's father was originally the personal guard of the prince of Chu and won his trust. In an accident, he died to protect the king of Chu, who was still the crown prince at the time. After the king of Chu ascended the throne, because of guilt in his heart, he made an exception to promote Shu Tianhan, who served in the six gates, to the chief manager!
In order to show his loyalty, he vowed to get the nine-turn jade pendant as a great gift for the saint's enthronement, but due to carelessness, some veteran figures of the six doors were false to him again, and even let the Zhao family slip through the net -- Zao Wou-ki! Not only did he not get the jade pendant, but he was ridiculed by his colleagues for a while.
However, Zao Wou-Ki's cultivation alone was extremely high, and the six doors chased and killed him for nearly forty years, until Zao Wou-Ki lived in seclusion, and there was no way to take him. This incident made Shu Tianhan lose face in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, but fortunately, the saint did not blame much.
I thought that the other party would disappear, but unexpectedly, more than 20 years have passed, and now the saint has only turned into a strong cultivation, and at this time the limit is approaching, and the other party will appear again. And his disciples directly made the entire Qingzhou full of storms, which called him how not to be angry!
When Shu Tianhan was about to arrive at the Qingcheng faction, Nangong Que had already personally led the elders out to greet him.
"Haha... Uncle is here, Nangong Que has been waiting for a long time!"
As soon as they met, Nangong Que laughed loudly. Many elders behind him also visited one after another, not feeling abnormal at all, and such a battle made Shu Tianhan's eyes condense.
It's not that the Qingcheng faction has mobilized many masters, on the contrary, except for the head of the Qingcheng faction, Nangong Que, who is at the peak of the innate realm, the rest are just cultivating their strength. It was this that made Shu Tianhan feel that something was wrong, they came here to ask for guilt, could it be that the Qingcheng faction didn't get any news?
"Well, there is no need to say more polite words, Uncle Mou came here this time to inquire about important matters, why don't you go in first?"
While speaking, Shu Tianhan was about to step into the mountain gate, no matter what tricks they used, since they came, they had to ask for some clues. How do you know that Uncle Tianhan just took two steps, but was hurriedly stopped by Nangong Que and blocked in front of him!
"What does this mean, master?" Shu Tianhan stared at Nangong Que with unkind eyes, "Could it be that there is something unsightly about your faction, or is it that Uncle is not welcome?"
"It's... Alas, that's it!" Nangong Que smiled helplessly, and led the elders behind him to follow one after another.
As soon as Shu Tianhan came in, what he saw in front of him made him unbelievable, the entire Qingcheng faction seemed to have just experienced a natural disaster, countless buildings had collapsed, and even the central hall was incomplete.
The disciples were busy carrying bricks, tiles and wooden beams to rebuild the mountain gate. Not far away, there were many wounded people lying on the ground moaning, and some disciples lifted them up to go for treatment, obviously there was a big battle here not long ago!
"It's... Nangong Master, what's going on?"
Shu Tianhan, who was originally angry, couldn't help but be greatly surprised when he saw this scene! How could the Qingcheng faction, which was one of the three major sects of the Chu State, end up like this?
"Alas, let the uncle see it and smile!" Nangong Que sighed and said.
"What the hell is going on, you can tell me clearly!"
Shu Tianhan really couldn't bear it, he thought that he would be able to get a major clue by coming here, and he had even listed the Qingcheng faction as an imaginary enemy, how could he know that such a scene would appear! He even felt a faint bad premonition.
"A few days ago, I heard that Zhang Ling and Zhang Zhutou came to Qingzhou City to arrest the disciples of the Sword Saint, this incident happened at the foot of my Qingcheng faction, how dare I ignore it? Oh, I'm ashamed!"
Seeing that Shu Tianhan had lost his patience, Nangong Que told the story of "what happened"! But Shu Tianhan was full of doubts, thinking that things might not be so simple!
"Hmph! Nuo's big Qingcheng faction can't deal with a sword saint, isn't it a fool for the head of Nangong to be the official?" Shu Tianhan shouted, and even the self-proclaimed person changed from an uncle to an official, obviously extremely angry!
There is no doubt that the Sword Master is strong, but it is also obvious that his cultivation has declined now. Nangong Que, as the head of the Qingcheng faction, a powerhouse at the peak of the innate realm, plus the many masters in the sect, how could he be defeated? The more he said, the more Shu Tianhan felt that Nangong Que was lying!
"Oh, uncle, is this suspicious of this seat, do you know how much my Qingcheng faction has paid in order to help you buy time for the six gates?" Nangong Que's face suddenly became gloomy, and he pointed to the collapsed buildings around him!
"Cut! Nangong Master means that I am still responsible for this matter?"
Shu Tianhan sneered disdainfully, even if the Qingcheng faction really fought for the opportunity of the six gates to cause this kind of end, he didn't care, but felt that the Qingcheng faction was useless.
