Chapter 473: Vertical and Horizontal
The news that the Demon Emperor ascended the throne and divided the ten demon saints soon spread throughout the wilderness.
Most people are noncommittal.
There is no doubt that this demon country is not comparable with the demon clan in ancient times, and the so-called ten demon saints are not comparable to the ten demon saints of heaven in ancient times, and even, in the eyes of many people, the current demon kingdom is just a tool in Ye Xuan's hands.
However, it's not that because of this, this demon country is useless, many people still have a wait-and-see attitude towards how far this demon kingdom can develop in the future, and the reason for all this is the wave of frenzy caused by the establishment of the demon capital.
Even in the demon clan in ancient times, no one found that those inconspicuous little demons could burst out with such a huge amount of energy, and as the first demon country to discover the potential of the demon clan, its growth is full of infinite possibilities and unknowns.
However, in addition, the targeted titles of several of the ten demon saints have also aroused the interest of some people.
The Great Sage of Peaceful Heaven, the Great Sage of Mixed Heaven, and the Great Sage of Swallowing Heaven.
Thinking of the Peach Conference held by Heavenly Court "coincidentally", if there is nothing greasy in this, they won't believe it.
However, in any case, with the accession of the Demon Emperor to the throne, the establishment of the Demon Kingdom is a foregone conclusion.
However, one wave has not settled, and another wave has risen.
The establishment of the demon kingdom has not yet passed, and another news has spread all over the wilderness.
The new prime minister of the Demon Kingdom, the Great Sage Macaque King, met with LΓΌ Buwei, the left minister of the Great Qin Empire, and announced that the Great Qin Empire and the Demon Kingdom were in an alliance.
If many people were only speculating about the relationship between Heavenly Court and the Demon Kingdom before, then when Great Qin, who represented the human race, formed an alliance with the Demon Kingdom, then the confrontation between the Demon Kingdom and the Heavenly Court was a foregone conclusion.
The battle of the Terrans against the sky will not be forgotten.
When the news reached Heavenly Court, the Pan Tao Conference had already ended.
Just like the enthronement ceremony of the same demon capital, this time the Peach Conference in the Heavenly Court was also extremely deserted.
After learning the news of the alliance between Xianyang and the demon capital, Haotian sat on the Lingxiao Palace, his face was gloomy as water, and he didn't speak for a long time.
After a long time, Haotian said to Tai Bai Xing on the side: "Taibai, go and ask Emperor Gou Chen to come, I have something to discuss with Emperor Gou Chen." β
"The old minister obeyed. β
Gou Chen Emperor's Palace.
Listening to the Tai Bai Xing under the stairs explain the intention, Lu Jian fell into deep thought.
Emperor Gou Chen's palace was in charge of the supervision of the Three Realms, and he naturally learned the news that Haotian had gotten. This time, Haotian asked Tai Bai Xing to invite him, and he could guess the purpose of not leaving ten-it was nothing more than to join forces with him, or with Buddhism, to fight against the pressure from the demon country and the human race, or from Ye Xuan's side. After all, the current Buddhism is nominally Haotian's ally.
It's just that there are some things that Haotian is kept in the dark, but Lu Quan, as the agent of Buddhism in the heavenly court, knows something.
In order for the Dharma to spread eastward, the catastrophe of Buddhism has secretly reached an agreement with Ye Xuan. In other words, Haotian has been sold. It's just because Haotian is still useful to Buddhism now, so he didn't tear his face immediately, and the previous Pan Tao Conference Sakyamuni also sent Ka Ye to go through the motions.
What Lu Jian has to consider now is, this time, what attitude should he use to treat Haotian, or in other words, do you want to sell Buddhism?
The God Tribulation made Lu Jian mature a lot, and it also made him finally understand what he had been doing, but in fact, he didn't find the culprit at all.
He had already guessed the trigger that led to the decline of the Ancient Demon Clan.
It's just that he endured it at that time, and he continued to stay on the side of Buddhism, as always. Because he knew that even if he tore his face with Buddhism at that time, he would not be able to complete his revenge. So he has been waiting, waiting for an opportunity to get revenge.
He wasn't sure if it was that opportunity.
Sold Buddhism to Haotian?
Soon, Lu Jian abandoned the idea.
Even if he tears his face with Haotian now, the Buddha Sect will not lose too much.
Besides, now the power he controls is still too little, and the henchmen who really belong to him in Emperor Gouchen's palace are still very weak, and even the Nantianmen army is in the hands of the people in the Buddhist Gate, and now he has turned against the Buddha Gate, and he does not have enough chips.
Thinking of this, Lu Jian suppressed the hatred in his heart, and said to Tai Bai Xing quietly: "This emperor knows." You go and reply to the Great Heavenly Venerable first, and the Emperor will arrive later. β
"Xiaoxian retired. β
The Platinum Star retreated.
After being silent for a moment, Lu Jian said to the immortal official on the side: "Go, please Tota Heavenly King, and come over." β
The immortal official took the order and went down.
The king of Tota is Li Jing, the chief soldier of Chentangguan during the Fengshen period.
However, although Li Jing has no sense of existence among the gods, his own status in Buddhism is not low.
Li Jing studied under Du'er Zhenren, and Du'e Zhenren was a disciple of the introduction, so Li Jing was a genuine Buddhist descendant. Therefore, although Li Jing did not have much power in the Heavenly Court after the end of the gods, since the last time Haotian formed an alliance with Buddhism, the establishment of the Nantianmen Legion was handed over to the Buddhism Gate as a bargaining chip, and Li Jing became the commander of the Nantianmen Legion.
After all, this kind of key position is naturally to be held by the descendants of Buddhism.
Therefore, in the power of Buddhism in the heavenly court, although Lu Jian is the spokesperson on the surface, in fact, whether it is Li Jing or the previous lamp, it is enough to compete with him. It's just that Ye Xuan took away his body by Ye Xuan before, and abolished the quasi-holy Tao, so he stayed in Lingshan all year round to practice penance, although he was also an immortal god on the list of gods, but he was not in Heaven, so the power of Buddhism in Heaven was headed by Lu Jian and Li Jing.
Now, Haotian intends to seek help from Buddhism, and Lu Jian naturally wants to discuss with Li Jing.
Not long after, after receiving the immortal official's gift, Li Jing came to the palace of Emperor Gouchen.
"Subordinates, see the emperor. β
As soon as he entered the main hall, Li Jing saluted the landing in a proper manner.
I have to say that Li Jing is indeed humble and courteous, and there is nothing to say.
Although his status in Buddhism is not low, and he has also been entrusted with important tasks by Buddhism, he has never been rude to Lu Press, and has always treated him with courtesy as a courtier. After taking charge of the Nantianmen Legion, Li Jing only guarded his own one-third of an acre of land, and did not have the slightest intention of relying on his identity to fight for any rights with Lu Press. Therefore, Lu Jian has no ill feelings towards Li Jing, and he is willing to discuss with Li Jing when he encounters any major events - after all, although it is a discussion, in fact, Li Jing usually just listens, occasionally makes some suggestions, and in the end it is usually him who decides, and he does this just to show some people in Buddhism.
