Chapter 362: The Devil's Nature
Back in the Tianshan Mountains, Chang Shan first tested Ying'er's cultivation according to his promise and helped her survive the fourth heavenly tribulation, and then, he spent three years guiding Chang Xiaoxi to the Five Elements Array, so that she successfully refined the Soul Suppression Tower, and then left the Tianshan Mountains again.
Six years ago, Chang Shan asked Zuo to go south to advance so that he could have someone to help him watch Shanshui City, so that he could cultivate with peace of mind.
This time, he left Tianshan to do what he had planned to do six years ago.
Out of the Tianshan Mountains, Changshan flew in the direction of due east and slightly north for seven days, and came to Qitian City, the imperial city of the Great Xia Dynasty.
Monkey City, as an imperial city that has been inherited for hundreds of thousands of years, has its own places worth appreciating. However, Chang Shan came to Qi Tian City alone, without any interest in playing, and when he entered Qi Tian City, he walked straight to the palace.
When he arrived at the gate of the palace, Chang Shan summoned the cloak of the loyal general, and walked straight inside.
In Changshan's cognition, in the wilderness, he behaved politely, which can be exchanged for courtesy; in Qingzhou, he behaved politely, and in the eyes of all forces in Qingzhou, it was easy to deal with.
It turned out that Chang Shan's cognition was correct, and he went straight to the palace, but instead of being stopped by anything, he soon met the Great Xia Emperor.
"General Chang is here, he must have brought His Majesty's order, I don't know if Your Majesty needs the Great Xia Dynasty to serve?"
Chang Shan raised his eyebrows, looked at the Great Xia Emperor and said lightly: "What's the matter, without His Majesty's order, Chang Someone can't come to you?"
"Of course!"
The Great Xia Emperor laughed and arched his hand: "General Chang, please!"
"Please!"
Chang Shan returned the salute, and while walking towards the center of the palace with the Great Xia Emperor, he asked, "How many star arrays are there in the Great Xia Dynasty that cultivate the power of chaos?"
"The star array that cultivates the power of chaos? Is General Chang coming to Qi Tian City just to cultivate the power of chaos?"
"Not bad!"
The Great Xia Emperor sighed and said with a wry smile: "It is an honor for the Great Xia Dynasty that General Chang can think of coming to Qi Tiancheng to cultivate, but unfortunately, there is not a single star array in the Great Xia Dynasty that cultivates the power of chaos?"
"Not a single one?"
"If General Chang doesn't believe it, you can ask General Xie. β
The affairs of the Great Xia Dynasty are under the management of Xie Chang'an. In order to avoid contradictions, Chang Shan went to Xie Chang'an before coming to the Great Xia Dynasty. Xie Changan is a spirit demon, he doesn't need to cultivate with the help of star arrays, and he didn't ask the Great Xia Emperor in detail what star arrays the Great Xia Dynasty has.
At this time, Emperor Daxia asked Chang Shan to ask Xie Chang'an, which was clearly a casual excuse.
If Chang Shan is easy to deal with, let this matter pass, if Chang Shan is not easy to deal with, the Great Xia Emperor naturally has other tricks to deal with.
The Tianshan Mountains nominally ruled Qingzhou, and the various dynasties and dynasties in Qingzhou were also nominally subject to the domination of the Tianshan Mountains, but the status of the Tianshan Mountains in Qingzhou could not be compared with the status of the Wild Holy City in the wilderness. The three royal families and each royal family have some scruples about Changshan and other heavenly generals, but this scruple is also limited.
Chang Shan was silent for a moment, his eyes flashed, and he looked at the Great Xia Emperor and asked lightly, "Your Majesty didn't call himself 'I' just now, right?"
"Nope!"
The corners of the Great Xia Emperor's eyes twitched slightly, and he took out a black mineral with strange dark golden lines on the surface from the storage ring on his hand, handed it to Chang Shan, and said with a wry smile: "Let the general run for nothing, is it the emperor's, the emperor apologized to the general here." β
Chang Shan took the dragon pattern stone handed over by the Great Xia Emperor, checked it, put it into the storage ring, and asked seemingly casually: "Does Your Majesty know that the forces in Qingzhou have a star array that cultivates the power of chaos?"
"As far as this emperor knows, the Giant Sword Gate of the Flame Dynasty and the Shi Family of the Blue Crane Dynasty each have a star array that cultivates the power of chaos. β
"Giant Sword Gate?"
Chang Shan nodded, and arched his hand at the Great Xia Emperor: "Since there is no star array here to cultivate the power of chaos, Chang will leave first." In other days, if there is a star array here that cultivates the power of chaos, Chang will come to disturb him again. β
After saying this, Chang Shan didn't wait for the Great Xia Emperor to reply, he flew into the sky, paused for a moment in front of the defensive shield of the Great Xia Palace, escaped outside the formation with a retreat technique, and then, in the blink of an eye, he flew to a height of ten thousand feet.
The Great Xia Emperor would not be naΓ―ve enough to think that hindering Chang Shan's cultivation would prevent the growth of the Heterogeneous Cultivation Alliance, so if the Great Xia Dynasty had a star array that cultivated the power of chaos, Chang Shan would come to the door, and he would not risk offending the Qing Emperor to trick Chang Shan into saying that the Great Xia Dynasty did not have a star array that cultivated the power of chaos.
Chang Shan can also figure this out, however, the Emperor of Great Xia is too casual, if Chang Shan is sent away like this, then he will leave a good impression on the Great Xia Emperor, which is somewhat unfavorable to his management of the Daewoo Dynasty, Wanliu Dynasty, and Daming Dynasty, therefore, he will find fault and blackmail the Great Xia Emperor, so that the Great Xia Emperor does not dare to underestimate him.
As for the dragon pattern stone, Chang Shan didn't plan to ask for it, and when he returned to Tianshan, he would give it to Xie Chang'an to deepen their trust with each other.
Flying out of Qi Tian City, Chang Shan pondered for a while, then left the matter of the Great Xia Palace behind him, and concentrated on flying in the direction of due west and slightly south.
Chang Shan didn't have much affection for Juque City, but after all, Juque City was the place where he really started cultivating, and when he came to Juque City again, he felt some feelings in his heart.
"If he hadn't been able to join the Giant Sword Sect back then, I'm afraid he would no longer be in this world now?"
More than a thousand years have passed, and only a few people such as Che Yonglu, Lu Qian, and Yu Zheng can still make Chang Shan take the initiative to remember.
Just like in Qi Tian City, when Chang Shan entered the Giant Que City, he didn't do anything to attract attention, and when he arrived in front of the Giant Sword Peak, he summoned the cloak of the loyal general and rushed directly to the Giant Sword Peak.
There is a heavenly eye in the Giant Sword Gate, and when Chang Shan first entered the Giant Que City, the people of the Giant Sword Gate knew about it. When he rushed to the Giant Sword Peak, his identity was also determined. Therefore, those mountain-guarding disciples of the Giant Sword Sect did not stop him.
When Chang Shan was almost halfway up the mountain, the head of the Giant Sword Sect came up with a group of disciples of the Giant Sword Sect.
When the Qing Emperor was proclaimed emperor, the head of the Giant Sword Sect also went to Tianshan, but Chang Shan did not see him that time, and this time, it was the first time they met.
Chang Shan recognized him from the clothes of the head of the Giant Sword Sect, and the head of the Giant Sword Gate directly recognized Chang Shan.
What the twelve days will look like, all the people in power of the big forces in the entire Qingzhou know it.
"General Chang is here, Zuo Quan has lost his welcome, and please atone for his sins. β
The identities of the Great Xia Emperor and Zuo Quan were different, and their attitudes towards Chang Shan, who came rashly, were also different. Their attitudes are different, and Changshan's attitude to deal with them is also different.
The so-called reaching out and not hitting the smiling person, Zuo Quan's words were polite and polite, and Chang Shan did not deliberately provoke.
"Chang took the liberty to come, please don't be surprised. β
Chang Shan replied, casually glanced at the people behind Zuo Quan, and found an acquaintance, Yu Zheng who he had followed back then.
In less than 1,400 years, Yu Zheng cultivated from the early stage of the Orange Pill to the late stage of the Green Dan, his cultivation speed was not slow, and his appearance did not change much from back then.
Chang Shan's gaze paused for a moment, and then turned to Zuo Quan again.
"Chang Mou came to the Giant Sword Gate because he wanted to enter the star array where your sect cultivated the power of chaos to cultivate for a few years, is the star array where your sect cultivated the power of chaos empty now?"
"Empty, of course empty!"
Zuo Quan replied with a smile and arched his hand: "General, please!"
"Please!"
Chang Shan and Zuo Quan walked side by side, walked up for a quarter of an hour, and came to the place where the inner disciples of the Giant Sword Sect lived. The scenery of the Giant Sword Gate was much worse than that of the Blue Lotus Sect, but it also exuded a sense of grandeur everywhere.
After a few more steps, everyone came to a martial arts arena that was more than 300 zhang wide and more than 1,000 zhang long.
The Giant Sword Sect majored in martial arts, and the competition was the only way to improve the fastest martial arts, at this time, there were more than thirty disciples of the Giant Sword Sect in the Huangdan period on this huge martial arts arena, and there were four middle-aged people in the early stage of the Green Dan on the side who were guiding them.
Chang Shan casually glanced at those Giant Sword Sect disciples, his heart moved, and he pointed to the middle-aged man closest to them and asked, "What's his name?"
"Gao Yi!"
"Gao Yi?"
Cultivators have extremely strong memories, but the long longevity makes them have much more memories than mortals, and some unimportant memories also need some triggers to be remembered by them.
When Chang Shan heard the name Gao Yi, a memory of his cultivation in Juque City came to his mind.
After a moment of silence, Chang Shan turned his head to Yu Zheng and asked, "Has Che Yonglu ever entered the inner gate of the Giant Sword Gate?"
Chang Shan was not deeply impressed in Yu Zheng's mind, but it was not shallow, and when he saw Chang Shan, Yu Zheng also remembered some things more than a thousand years ago, and also remembered Che Yonglu.
"Yes!"
"Where is he now?"
Yu Zheng hesitated for a moment, glanced at Zuo Quan, and replied, "As far as the juniors know, he died in the Blood Demon Illusion Realm. β
"Blood Illusion?"
Zuo Quan interjected: "The Blood Demon Fantasy Realm is a secret realm that will kill you after entering it. Every hundred years, when the Blood Demon Fantasy Realm opens, there will be many cultivators in the Flame Dynasty who want to stimulate their potential through the crisis to try their luck. β
Chang Shan nodded, was silent for a moment, turned his head to look at Gao Yi, and sighed in a low voice: "I didn't see what I wanted to see, but I saw what I didn't want to see." β
With a sigh, Chang Shan looked at Zuo Quan and said, "How far is the star array that cultivates the power of chaos from here?"
"Bypass that Houde Hall and you'll be there!"
As he spoke, Zuo Quan pointed to a small palace in the upper right.
Chang Shan rejected Zuo Quan's banquet and directly entered the star array to cultivate.
In the blink of an eye, almost a year has passed.
Chang Shan came out of the Chaos Palace, and before he could reach the Houde Hall along the path in front of the Chaos Palace, Zuo Quan flew towards him.
"Congratulations General!"
"Thank you!"
A look of surprise flashed in Zuo Quan's eyes, and he looked at Chang Shan and said with a smile: "Zuo has a gift for the general!"
"What gifts?"
"The gift is in Suncheonjeon, general, please!"
With a hint of doubt, Chang Shan followed Zuo Quan to the Shuntian Palace.
