Chapter 313 The Temptation from Emperor Xianlong (a super chapter of nearly 20000 words)
near, near.
One hundred steps, fifty steps, thirty steps.

When the entire cavalry rushed to the Anxi Army's position, Ocampos' heart rose to his throat.

He has never led a charge in person.

Although General Oscar was by his side at the moment, Ocampos still felt very nervous.

But when the cavalry team really hit the Anxi army's position, the nervous feeling in his heart disappeared instead.

Because at this moment his mind was blank.

Boom!

Amid the loud noise, the entire cavalry seemed to have hit a wall, and they were thrown off their feet for a while.

The neighing of the horses and the wailing and pain of the people are intertwined, making people feel as if they are in Shura Hell.

Although the cavalry of the Huolun Kingdom were fully armed and armored, they still had no temper at all when facing the impregnable Anxi army.

The Anxi army is indeed the army that knows how to target the cavalry best. The formation they put up makes it impossible for the cavalry of the Fire Wheel Kingdom to escape.

In front of them is a wall, and it is a wall of steel.

The most important thing in a cavalry charge is the formation. Once the formation is dispersed, it is almost impossible to gather it together.

But at this moment, the formation of the Huolun Kingdom's cavalry not only dispersed, but also completely dispersed, in such a mess, it was like a celestial maiden scattering flowers.

At this moment, Oscar also fell off his horse and rolled a few times in a daze.

What was even more tragic was that his head was trampled so hard by the frightened horse that it turned into a paste.

Ocampos had the misfortune to witness it firsthand.

It frightened the hapless king until he foamed at the mouth.

He had never seen a person's head being trampled into meat paste so closely.

This bloody feeling is really disgusting.

"How could this be, how could this be."

Ocampos doesn't understand why the situation is so different from what he expected.

Why did the good things become like this?
But obviously the Anxi army didn't leave him more time to react, and brave soldiers stepped forward to clamp Ocampos up.

Because the golden armor on his body was so eye-catching, the soldiers of the Anxi army could almost conclude that this man was Ocampos without any analysis.

At this moment, Ocampos did not resist, he was completely stupid, and he was in a state of bewilderment.

He let the generals of the Anxi Army pick him up, and then brought him to his old opponent Liu Lin.

At this moment, Liu Lin was riding on a horse and looking down at Ocampos, his eyes were full of disdain.

"How dare you charge and break through the encirclement. Just relying on your cavalry, you want to charge into the formation formed by our Anxi army? Isn't it a bit overconfident?"

"me"

Ocampos was choked for a while, and he didn't know what to say.

"Oh, being pitiful is even more hateful. We people in the Central Plains have a good saying, a poor person must have something to hate. So you are not worthy of being pitiful. Everything you are today is what you asked for. If there is fruit, there must be something. Cause, your cause has planted a bitter fruit. So you got what you have now."

Liu Lin gave Ocampos a chance.

If Ocampos had just chosen to walk out of the palace to plead guilty and lead a group of steamer soldiers to surrender, perhaps Liu Lin would have given him a lighter sentence.

But Ocampos didn't.

He chose to fight to the end, against the mighty Anxi army.

This is of course not a wise move.

With the strength of Ocampos and the strength of the cavalry of the Fire Wheel Kingdom, this is tantamount to hitting a stone with a pebble.

But he chose to do it anyway.

Now that you have made this choice, you have to pay the price for this choice.

No matter from which point of view, it is impossible for Liu Lin to keep Ocampos.

"Cut it off, hang your head on the top of the city for public display."

Liu Linyun said calmly, as if he was slaughtering chickens and dogs.

"Forgive me, please forgive me. Dadu, please forgive me, just treat me like a fart and let me go."

Hearing that Liu Lin was going to kill him, Ocampos woke up like a dream.

He begged for mercy loudly, but Liu Lin's soldiers didn't care about this, they pressed him to the ground, and one of them drew out a shining steel knife and slashed at his neck.

But with a pop, Ocampos' head was chopped off.

Blood flew, and his head rolled into the distance like a ball.

Liu Lin picked up the severed head and played with it for a while, but suddenly felt bored.

"Take it and hang it on the top of the city to warn everyone."

Zhongnan Mountain, Haoran Academy.

Beside the ink wash pool, Long Qingquan, the third senior brother dressed as a mountain chief, paced up and down.

"Like, it's really too similar. Third senior brother, I think you are at least [-]-[-]% similar to the head of the mountain now."

Zhao Xun praised from the side.

He sincerely thinks so.

The Sixth Senior Brother's workmanship is really exquisite, and the shape is very similar to that of Shan Zhang.

The most important thing is that the aloof demeanor of the third senior brother also goes well with Shan Zhang.

If it were an ordinary person, maybe the appearance could be imitated nine times out of ten, but the temperament can be seen through at a glance.

As expected, he is the most mountain-like person in the academy, and the third senior brother really can't fault him in this regard.

"Little brother, I still feel a little uneasy. This forced fusion of true energy, even if it's just for a while, the pressure I have to bear is incomparably great. Just think about it, what will happen if my body bursts if I can't hold it?" it is good?"

Long Qingquan still felt a little uneasy, and complained with his hands spread out.

In fact, the third senior brother's worry is not unreasonable.

Many demon sect practitioners forcibly absorbed the vitality of heaven and earth into their bodies, and gained a boost in cultivation in a short period of time.

But because the space in their bodies can't accommodate so much vitality, they will all burst and die in the end.

The problems facing Long Qingquan today are actually very similar.

Of course, he didn't absorb that much vitality, but it shouldn't be underestimated.

After all, if you want to forcibly upgrade a second-rank to a super-rank in a short period of time, whether you can hold it is really a matter of opinion.

"Let's give it a try, we have no other choice. But third senior brother, I don't think you need to worry too much. The situation you imagined shouldn't happen. Your foundation is so solid that even the head of the mountain can't bear it." I praised it myself."

Zhao Xun reassured the third senior brother: "Besides, if you really can't bear it, you can force your true energy out of your body. Although the forced out true energy is a waste, it's better than your body bursting."

The meaning of Zhao Xun's words is obvious, and his own body knows it well.

A living person cannot be suffocated to death by urine.

If Long Qingquan couldn't bear it, he could just force out his true energy, it would be impossible to resist for the sake of face.

If that's the case, then there's no one to blame.

"Okay, then I'll give it a try. In the worst case, if I can't bear it anymore, I'll force the excess qi out of my body."

"By the way, junior brother, how is the mountain chief recovering now?"

It is strictly forbidden for anyone to disturb the mountain leader when he is retreating, but only Zhao Xun can enter.

Of course, Zhao Xun was just delivering a meal to the head of the mountain, and it was impossible to say anything superfluous.

"I think Shanzhang is in good shape, at least that's how I look."

Zhao Xun said truthfully: "However, I can only see the appearance. As for the condition of Shan Chang's body now, I don't know."

It is impossible for Zhao Xun to talk nonsense.

"There is one thing to say, the realm of the old man Yishan, even if he has suffered such a serious injury, as long as he is given time to recover, he will be able to recover in a short time. The time given by the old man himself is one month, but I I think it may not take that long. It should be about half a month or twenty days. The reason why the head of the mountain wants to say a little longer is to leave a margin, and to make us nervous. He shares a little."

Zhao Xun's analysis can be said to be penetrating.

The third senior brother Long Qingquan nodded frequently after hearing this, and said: "It seems to be true. But I'm still a little uneasy. If a strong enemy really comes, can we really resist it?"

"Soldiers are coming to block the water and cover it with soil. Don't be afraid, third senior brother. We just have to fight with them. Besides, this academy is our home field. Anyone who comes here will lose a lot of mana, won't it?"

"That's true."

After hearing Zhao Xun's words, Long Qingquan felt a little more at ease.

"Hearing what you said, little brother, I feel a lot more at ease. It's okay, just do whatever you don't agree with, this is the tradition of our academy. Whoever's fist is tough is the truth. Besides, the mountain chief is only injured, and he himself is also It's in the academy. If the old man feels danger, he will definitely come to the rescue in time."

"Yes, rescuing a scene is like putting out a fire. If the head of the mountain senses danger, he will definitely take action in time. It is impossible to watch us apprentices suffer."

On this point, Zhao Xun is convinced.

Who is Shan Zhang?

That's a man of God.

Even if he was besieged by the enemy and seriously injured, the head of the mountain still maintained a super-level state.

This is not easy.

You must know that there are only a dozen super-grade practitioners in this world.

Shan Chang is still a super grade after his realm has plummeted, which is enough to prove how terrifying his previous realm was.

"Junior brother, there is one more thing I have to tell you in advance."

Long Qingquan hesitated for a moment, but still said: "If there is real danger, you can go on your own and leave us alone."

"How does this work!"

Hearing this, Zhao Xun flatly refused: "We are brothers from the same school, and we are a family. How could I abandon my family? Besides, the head of the mountain extended a helping hand when I was most in danger. If it wasn't for the head of the mountain, our family is still alive today. I don’t know what it’s like to be persecuted by that dog Emperor Xianlong. Now that the mountain chief is in trouble and the academy is in trouble, how can I be a deserter.”

Zhao Xun's words came from the bottom of his heart.

Long Qingquan was also very moved when he heard this.

He nodded and said, "Okay, it's indeed the little junior brother I know. With your words, I feel relieved."

"Of course, as long as we work together, there is nothing we can't do."

"That's right, when brothers work together, their benefits cut through gold. Although we are not real brothers, we are better than real brothers. As long as we work together, there is nothing we cannot accomplish!"

Zhao Xun said firmly.

"This world is very different from ours."

The black wizard Augustine looked at the vast prairie and said doubtfully.

"Yeah, the aquatic plants here are so rich, and there is only wilderness in our place."

"At the end of the wilderness is the sea, and at the end of the sea is darkness."

"Yeah, there is such a place full of vitality here."

Francis also said with emotion: "If we knew this world is so beautiful and colorful, we should have opened the door of darkness earlier."

"Hehe, it's as if you can open the door of darkness if you want to."

Rodriguez snorted and said disdainfully: "The opening of the Dark Portal has its own definite date, it is not up to you and me to decide. If you and I can decide when the Dark Portal will open, why the past hundred years? Has no one ever seen the door open?"

"."

Francis, who was hit in the face, did not fight back for a while.

Because he knew that Rodriguez was actually right.

The Dark Portal is very mysterious, and usually it will only open when the time is right.

And people who need both worlds have sensed this, and at the same time opened the door of darkness at the right time, and then penetrated the nodules.

If there is a problem with either party, even a small problem cannot finally open the door of darkness.

"Don't talk about these useless things. Now that we are here, we will naturally complete the expansion of the Dark Portal and bring the creatures of our world to this world."

Seeing the two arguing endlessly, Augustine interrupted.

"No, we have one very important thing to do before that."

The High Priest of the Demon Sect, who had been silent until now, suddenly said, "We are going to kill someone now."

"who is it?"

Everyone asked almost in unison.

"This person is the most powerful practitioner in this world. He is the head of Haoran Academy, and he is also a Confucian saint in the world."

When the high priest of the Mozong mentioned the head of the mountain, there was still a trace of fear in his words.

"This person's strength is unfathomable. Although we defeated him last time with more fights, we still let him run away. If I'm not mistaken, he should have escaped to this world at this moment. Most likely he has already returned to the world. Went to the academy to recuperate. We can't give him a chance to recuperate. If we let him recuperate, it will be difficult for us to kill him if we are prepared."

The high priest of the Mozong had a psychological shadow on the head of the mountain.

Because he was repeatedly defeated by the head of the mountain.

So as long as he gets the chance, he will do his best to kill the head of the mountain.

Only by getting rid of the head of the mountain, can he have a chance to become the most powerful practitioner in the world.

It feels very uncomfortable to be the second in the world all the time, which is why the high priest of Mozong did not compete with Wei Wuji, the sword master of Dongyue, to be the second in the world.

He would rather Wei Wuji be the second and bear the pressure.

You can't be first, and you can't get anything by being second.

"Where is this mountain chief now?"

"In Zhongnan Mountain on the outskirts of Chang'an City, Haoran Academy is built in the mountain, so he should be here."

The High Priest of the Demon Sect knew Shanzhang very well. He knew that for an extremely confident person like Shanzhang, if he encountered danger, the most likely way would be to hide himself in the most familiar place.

And the most familiar place for the head of the mountain is the Haoran Academy in the depths of Zhongnan Mountain.

Haoran Academy is a good place. It is beautiful and has absorbed too much local aura.

So much so that not only the practitioners in Haoran Academy, but also every plant and tree in it has a spiritual energy.

With the cultivation base of the mountain leader, although he was seriously injured after this battle, as long as he cultivates for a while, he will definitely be able to return to the peak.

The high priest of the Mozong knew very well that time was the most critical thing for them.

They must firmly grasp the time to have a chance of winning.

And if he didn't seize this opportunity and let the head of the mountain relax, then everything would be over.

"Tsk tsk tsk, according to what you said, why don't we go directly to this place called Zhongnan Mountain?"

Augustine is getting familiar with the logic and approach of people in this world.

In his opinion, people in this world are more cautious, unlike people in their world who follow their hearts completely.

This of course has its pros and cons.

The advantage is that the success rate can be guaranteed to the greatest extent, and the disadvantage is that sometimes the opportunity slips away from the hand.

"Well, it is."

The High Priest of Mozong nodded and said: "With our current strength, if we want to invade Zhongnan Mountain, it is very easy to invade Haoran Academy. The mountain chief was seriously injured, and it is hard to say whether his current cultivation level is super-level. Even if he is still It’s nothing to be afraid of being a grand master. Since we can defeat him once, we can defeat him a second time. The head of the mountain is already our defeated general, so naturally he can’t be proud.”

The high priest of the Mozong was in high spirits when he said these words.

No wonder.

For him, this is the first time in many years that he has defeated the head of the mountain.

The strength of the head of the mountain left a great psychological shadow on him. For a long time, the high priest of the Demon Sect could not face the head of the mountain.

Because in his opinion, the head of the mountain is undoubtedly the strongest in the world, so many people want to challenge him.

Because for these young martial arts juniors, challenging the mountain chief is a sure thing.

If they can challenge and win, they can soar into the sky.

Even if they lose the challenge, no one will criticize them.

Because people just think it's reasonable for them to lose.

Being able to lose in the hands of the super master, No.1 in the world, it is also a good story to spread.

Of course, those who challenged the mountain leader were not only juniors, but also long-established practitioners.

Among them, Wei Wuji, the sword master of Dongyue, is the most famous.

Wei Wuji is known as the second best in the world because he is afraid of being the leader of the mountain.

Wei Wuji has always avoided fighting, because he was afraid that losing to the head of the mountain would affect his reputation.

In Wei Wuji's view, the head of the mountain is a big mountain, and he is the one who is crushed under the mountain.

As long as the mountain grows for one day, he will never have a bright future.

But Wei Wuji still chose to challenge the head of the mountain, the reason is very simple, if he wants to kill Emperor Xianlong, he must cross this threshold no matter what.

It turns out that he was indeed right.

In the end, the head of the mountain still chose to make a move after he entered the palace.

The head of the mountain may not have much affection for Emperor Xianlong, but Emperor Xianlong represents the Great Zhou Zhengshuo after all.

If the head was easily cut off by the Dongyue people, it would be unreasonable anyway.

So rather than saying that Wei Wuji is actively challenging the mountain leader, it should be said that he is passively fighting.

At that time, Wei Wuji had no choice.

If he didn't choose to fight, the head of the mountain would beat him out of Chang'an without hesitation.

It was in such a general environment that Wei Wuji was forced to fight Shan Zhang.

After a fierce battle between the two sides, Wei Wuji was seriously injured and resolved by fleeing in a hurry.

It can only be said that Wei Wuji never dared to trouble the head of the mountain after this battle.

Because he knew very well that the gap between him and the head of the mountain was really as huge as a mountain peak and a small mound.

He, the number two in the world, is not worthy of mentioning shoes for the number one in the world.

Sometimes it is important to have self-knowledge, knowing that you are not an opponent, and the best strategy is not to fight.

If you do it blindly, the consequences can be very serious.

Of course, the High Priest of the Mozong believed that his strength was higher than that of Dongyue Sword Master Wei Wuji.

The reason why he didn't fight was not because he felt that he was not as powerful as Wei Wuji, but because he didn't bother to compare.

It's interesting to say that it's a bit of a fight to be number one in the world, but it's really no pursuit to be number two in the world.

Therefore, the high priest of the Mozong would rather Wei Wuji to be the early bird, while he would hide in the dark and make a fortune silently.

Wei Wuji acted so strong, but was beaten by the head of the mountain and ran away, and his status in the arena has plummeted since then.

However, the high priest of the Demon Sect was able to retain a certain reputation after losing to the head of the mountain, and the gap was self-evident.

The High Priest of the Demon Sect knew very well that this was because he made the right decision.

Sometimes even top practitioners need to make constant choices.

Only by making the right choice at the right time can we get better development.

"Let's go to Zhongnan Mountain now!"

Augustine said in a deep voice: "This time, no matter what, the head of the mountain must be completely eliminated."

The high priest of the Demon Sect was overjoyed when he saw this, and said in a harmonious voice: "There is an old saying in our world, that is, when weeds are cut, the roots must be removed. It means that after the grass is cut off, its roots will continue to grow, and sooner or later it will emerge. In order to prevent it from continuing The best way to grow it is to remove it by the roots."

"Ok?"

Augustine obviously understood what the High Priest of the Demon Sect meant.He stroked his beard and said leisurely: "So, you want us to help you get rid of everyone related to the head of the mountain?"

"If possible, it would be great."

The High Priest of Mozong nodded slightly and said: "Shanchang founded Haoran Academy by himself, and was regarded as a Confucian saint by scholars all over the world. Do you know what this means?"

"It's because he likes to be a teacher to others. Everyone respects him, right?"

"Not bad!"

The high priest of Mozong agreed.

"As a teacher, Shan Chang is not limited to the title of a Confucian saint in the world. He wants to become a Confucian saint who has never been seen before. He hopes that from now on, when scholars mention Confucian saints, they will only think of him and not others. Confucian saints who already existed."

After the High Priest of the Demon Sect said this, all the black wizards present were dumbfounded in astonishment.

This person is too conceited.

Beyond all Confucian saints?
"So he recruited disciples widely. Among them, there are 72 internal disciples and [-] external disciples. These are his favorite disciples, and we will eradicate them all this time."

"The head of the mountain has so many apprentices?"

Francis was the first to question: "There are so many people with thousands of mouths, and the food and drink alone cost a lot every day. Does the head of the mountain have mountains of gold and silver?"

The High Priest of Mozong coughed and said, "I don't know if there is a mine in Shanzhang's family, but I know he is not short of money. Think about it, everyone, he is regarded as a Confucian saint by scholars all over the world, so every year just these scholars The incense money given to him must be quite a lot. The head of the mountain must not be short of money. Of course, among the thousands of people, only 72 of the disciples who entered the house had full board and lodging. The remaining [-] disciples outside the house should be their own With dry food."

"I see."

After listening to the explanation given by the High Priest of the Demon Sect, Augustine finally understood the meaning.

"If that's the case, I can probably understand. The mountain leader seems to be a ruthless character, and he knows how to recruit disciples to increase his influence. So we must not take it lightly when we go to Zhongnan Mountain this time. If we are careless , it is very likely that the head of the mountain will seize the opportunity to turn defeat into victory."

Augustine is the leader of the group of black wizards. He is very cautious in doing things, trying to avoid accidents due to carelessness and arrogance.

"Indeed, among the disciples of the head of the mountain, there are still some quite strong disciples, and some of them have already reached the threshold of the first rank. Even if they are regarded as first rank practitioners, there is no problem."

Although there is a world of difference between Yipin and Chaopin, they are already very powerful existences.

There are no more than a dozen super masters in the world, but there are dozens of first-rank practitioners.

About [-]% of these dozens of people hope to have a glimpse of Tianmen in the future and be able to join the ranks of super masters.

It is said that there are only three people in the academy.

"If you look at it this way, we still have to go as a group, and we must not be separated by them to take advantage of it."

Sometimes the consequences of carelessness can be fatal.

Although the realm of the black wizard group is basically super-grade, and the high priest of the demon sect, the super-grade peak, has an absolute advantage, but it is also possible to capsize in the gutter.

"Well, we must not be careless. Only by truly getting rid of the head of the mountain and all the disciples of Haoran Academy, can we truly be invincible in the world."

"Well, it makes sense."

"As long as we kill these guys, we will be able to bring the creatures from the continent of Alan Lore to this world without any scruples. The God of Darkness should not only come in one world, but should shine on the earth in all worlds."

"I swear in the name of the God of Darkness, we must eradicate all heresies."

"In the name of the God of Darkness, we will uproot all heretics."

"I swear in the name of the God of Heian, we will make the world completely dark."

"Third Senior Brother, you are becoming more and more like the head of the mountain now. Not only in appearance, but also in spirit."

Zhao Xun is very satisfied with the performance of the third brother Long Qingquan these days.

The third brother is really a representative of hard work and talent.

"Well, junior brother, I know it well. You see, I often accompany the head of the mountain, and it's not for nothing. I have carefully observed every subtle movement of the head of the mountain to ensure that I can collect all useful information. .It may not be used at the time, but it will be available one day. Doesn’t that make me wait until then?”

Third senior brother Long Qingquan raised his neck arrogantly and said.

"However, Third Senior Brother, if the High Priest of the Demon Sect really attacks with the group of black wizards, isn't there a limit to what we can do? Can it really be delayed until the mountain chief's injury recovers?"

"Uh"

Long Qingquan scratched his head when he heard that.

"Little brother, haven't we already discussed this issue before? Shan Chang's old man's body is different from ordinary people. He said that he needs to rest for half a month, but it is likely to be fine in less than ten days. The reason why he dare not I talked too much, because I was afraid that if there was an accident, I would lose face. But based on my understanding of the head of the mountain, it will definitely not be too long."

After swallowing a mouthful of spittle, Long Qingquan continued: "So what we have to do is to hold on as long as possible. How long we can hold off until we have no strength left. In this way, no matter what the result is, we can hold on to our hearts and minds. Yes. Of course, I believe the result must be good."

"Um"

Zhao Xun nodded and said, "But Third Senior Brother, there is one more thing you have considered. What if the High Priest of the Demon Sect and the black wizards have noticed something strange from the very beginning and are not fooled? What if he doesn't answer?" Our trick is to bypass it directly, so what should we do?"

"This is impossible!"

Long Qingquan said decisively: "Are you doubting your Sixth Senior Brother's disguise skill level, or my acting talent. The two of us are perfectly matched, it must be perfect. How can ordinary people see the flaws?"

Seeing how excited the third senior brother was, Zhao Xun quickly waved his hands and said, "Third senior brother, I don't mean to doubt your and sixth senior brother's craftsmanship, what I mean is, in case, in case they really notice something, do we have any alternatives? ? There is nothing wrong with being prepared, and there is nothing wrong with us being prepared.”

"That's true."

Seeing Zhao Xun's explanation, Long Qingquan calmed down a little.

"If you want to talk about the alternative plan, it is naturally Yuan Tiangang. But it is not easy to persuade him to make a move. Junior brother, it depends on you."

Good guy.

Zhao Xun thought to himself that the third senior brother was really an expert, and this light flick kicked the ball to Zhao Xun's side.

Of course, Zhao Xu didn't mean to evade responsibility.

But he always felt that this time Yuan Tiangang would not help each other at most, and it would be difficult to join hands with the mountain chief like last time.

The reason why Yuan Tiangang joined forces with the Shanzhang last time was that the Shanzhang was indeed invincible at that time.

Yuan Tiangang has no reason to fight against a practitioner who is at his peak at this time.

Furthermore, the positions of the head of the mountain and Yuan Tiangang were basically the same at that time.

But this time something is different.

The high priest of the Demon Sect and the black wizard are no longer targeting Chang'an, and are no longer subject to the Great Zhou, but simply Shanzhang and Haoran Academy.

If the Shanzhang and Haoran Academy can be eliminated under the guise of others, the status of Yuan Tiangang and Taoism will undoubtedly be raised again.

The most important thing is that he doesn't have to take responsibility for the scapegoat, and it can be said that he can make money without losing money.

This kind of good thing Yuan Tiangang can't come across, so naturally he won't let it go easily.

"Well, I can give it a try, but it's hard to say whether it will work. We all hope to have a good result, but I can't guarantee how entangled the result will be."

Zhao Xun didn't dare to say enough, but left a mouthful.

"Okay, just do as you say."

After all, Zhao Xun was also Yuan Tiangang's adoptive son. Originally, he thought that if he came forward to ask Yuan Tiangang for help, Yuan Tiangang would think about it anyway.

Who would have thought that Yuan Tiangang actually found a reason to practice in seclusion, but he didn't even let Zhao Xun meet.

Isn't this too extreme?

Zhao Xun didn't know what to say for a moment.

Alas, I really misjudged the person.

At the beginning, he thought Yuan Tiangang was also a very trustworthy person.Now it seems that Yuan Tiangang is just trying to snatch his luck.

After all, Zhao Xun's fortune was unparalleled at that time, so it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was a popular niche.

What kind of place is the academy, and what kind of person is the head of the mountain.

Can the person Shan Chang likes be bad?
Yuan Tiangang is also very good at calculating, he knows very well that as long as Zhao Xun and the Taoist are tied together, the mountain chief can also be promoted to maintain a good relationship with the Taoist to a considerable extent.

But Yuan Tiangang's countless calculations failed to calculate one thing, that is, the mountain leader will have a conflict with the black wizards from another world.

And with one enemy many.

Although the head of the mountain had no fear, he was still defeated in the face of the black wizard who was clearly in possession of the number.

The key is that the High Priest of the Mozong stabbed him again without hesitation at this time, which directly caused the head of the mountain to be seriously injured.

In this case, Yuan Tiangang's mentality also changed.

He must have felt that it was unstable to continue to bind the Taoist school with the academy, and it might lead to the destruction of the Taoist school.

So at this time, Yuan Tiangang chose to draw a clear line with the academy as much as possible.

In this way, even if the black wizards attack together in the future, the Daomen can pick themselves up very clearly without getting burned at all.

What a wishful thinking!
After finding out Yuan Tiangang's true thoughts, Zhao Xun was very disappointed!

But what can he do.

The world is made of interests.

Many human interactions are profit-driven.

Although I don't want to admit it, it's the truth.

A person can only constantly adapt to the world, instead of asking the whole world to revolve around himself.

Unless you are strong enough to make the rules of this world.

At least so far no such person exists.

The emperor can't do it, and neither can the top practitioners.

If such a person does appear in the future, then this person is almost equivalent to a god.

Zhao Xun had no choice but to tell the third brother Long Qingquan the news.

After hearing this, Long Qingquan was silent for a while.

"Oh, junior brother, I should have thought of it earlier."

Long Qingquan shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Actually, there is nothing unacceptable. At least Yuan Tiangang didn't make trouble. Let's draw a clear line. My academy has never relied on others."

Although these words sound domineering, Zhao Xun felt a little helpless.

Now the head of the mountain is seriously injured, and the academy is so weak that the strongest person is Yao Yan, the friend of the second senior sister Liu Yingying, the bamboo forest sword fairy.

Of course, Yao Yan's strength needn't be said much, but the problem is that relying on such a first-rank support scene is more or less unreliable in his heart.

All of them are very clear that the improvised super master will only last for a short time.

This is actually singing an empty city plan.

If you can't scare away a group of black wizards in a short period of time, the consequences of letting them realize the clues will be terrible.

"Third senior brother, don't put too much pressure on you, we just need to do our best. Also, I believe that evil does not prevail over good."

Zhao Xun clenched his fists and said imposingly: "No matter what, I will stick with you until the end."

"Master, have you really decided not to help each other?"

Li Chunfeng frowned, and asked with some uncertainty.

Yuan Tiangang was meditating by himself, and did not reply for a long time.

After about a stick of incense, Yuan Tiangang opened his eyes and let out a breath of foul air slowly.

"Chunfeng, what have you been telling me as a teacher? You have to be calm, don't show your attitude easily, or you will become very passive."

"But."

Li Chunfeng shook his head resentfully and said: "I always feel that what we have done in this matter is a bit dishonest. Master, if we do this, we will be stabbed in the back by the people of the world."

“How come you see?”

Yuan Tiangang's view is obviously very different from Li Chunfeng's.

He smiled lightly and said, "Do you think it is shameful to be a teacher? Or do you think it is a low-level thing to be a teacher? But in fact, you don't do anything as a teacher, right? The ancestors of Taoism advocated governance by doing nothing. Inaction? Inaction means no struggle."

Yuan Tiangang got up and began to walk with his hands behind his back.

"The reason why Taoism has been able to survive since ancient times is not to rely on this non-dispute. Many schools of practice are fighting each other because they are fighting for power and profit. The word "li" is a sharp knife for killing people. My Taoism is ruled by doing nothing. It's great wisdom."

"Indeed."

Li Chunfeng knew that it would be unwise to argue with his teacher at this time, so he conceded and said softly: "Master, it was my disciple Meng Lang just now."

"It's okay."

Yuan Tiangang said with a smile: "It's a good thing for you to have doubts, and it's a good thing for you to have doubts. But you have to be clear, being a teacher is not only the supervisor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but also the leader of the Taoist school. To be a teacher is not just about one person and one body. interests, but the interests of the entire Taoist sect."

After a short pause, Yuan Tiangang sighed: "As a teacher, I was really optimistic about Zhao Xun. This boy has great luck, and it is also for the only person who can't see through it except the head of the mountain. This boy seems to have a fog in his body." .As a teacher, I tried to clear the fog several times to see what happened, but I was met with strong backlash, so I didn’t dare to try again.”

After hearing this, Li Chunfeng felt terrified.

Of course he knew what Yuan Tiangang meant.

The biggest difference between Taoist practitioners and other practitioners is that Taoist practitioners can have a glimpse of the way of heaven.

What is the way of heaven?

The way of heaven refers to the so-called principle of heaven.

That is the so-called destiny.

Peeping at the way of heaven is of course a very dangerous behavior. If it is not done well, it will burn yourself and cause unnecessary troubles.

Of course, for an old master like Yuan Tiangang, he can grasp this speed very well, and he can shuttle freely within the range allowed by the law of heaven.

He only glanced at it, so Heaven did not punish him.

Until he wanted to see Zhao Xun's future, he found that there were too many fogs on Zhao Xun's body.

With just one glance, he couldn't see clearly at all.

So Yuan Tiangang became greedy and took a few more glances.

It was terrible to look at it a few more times, the way of heaven was rolling, and he was furious immediately, and condemned him.

After Yuan Tiangang suffered a backlash, he had to practice in seclusion for a long time, not because he wanted to find a breakthrough in martial arts, but because he was seriously injured and needed time to heal.

Of course, many people don't know this, including Emperor Xianlong.

Yuan Tiangang has been able to become the master and supervisor of the Great Zhou Dynasty for so many years, relying on his unparalleled strength.

In terms of strength, Yuan Tiangang is even above the old eunuch Zheng Jie.

Therefore, the reason why Emperor Xianlong showed such awe to Yuan Tiangang was essentially because he was afraid of Yuan Tiangang.

Once Emperor Xianlong knew that Yuan Tiangang's cultivation level had plummeted and had no value to use, he might kick Yuan Tiangang away without mercy.

That's why Yuan Tiangang is so forbearing, so low-key.

In his view, people's low-key at critical moments is not because they are afraid of something, but because they know when their strong period is.

It is natural to be strong when you are in your own strong period, but it is obviously not the strong period and you have to pretend to be strong. In fact, it is essentially the same as slapping your face to pretend to be fat.

Yuan Tiangang knows this way very well, so he can bend and stretch, stand up when he should stand up, and shrink his head when he should shrink his head.

Now that he has fully recovered, naturally he is no longer afraid of Emperor Xianlong.

But when it comes to the upcoming battle, Yuan Tiangang still believes that remaining neutral is the best choice.

"Zhao Xun is a teacher who can't see through it. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be. Because there is no one in this world who knows how to see the way of heaven better than a teacher. Therefore, a teacher even once suspected that Zhao Xun is not from this world at all. Because only in this way can we explain why there are so many fogs on Zhao Xun's body, so that the teacher can't see through at all."

Yuan Tiangang sighed, and then continued: "Chunfeng, if the people of Alan Lore really invade this world in the future, if the head of the mountain loses, our best choice is to form an alliance with him. Only in this way can the sect be preserved. "

"What if the head of the mountain wins?"

Li Chunfeng asked.

"If the head of the mountain wins, it's another matter."

Yuan Tiangang sighed and said: "But I still feel that the chance of winning this time is very small. I didn't hold back and risked being backlashed to have a glimpse of the way of heaven. Guess what, I saw the academy. Destroyed. The entire Haoran Academy and even most of Zhongnan Mountain were razed to the ground, and the entire hillside was barren and lifeless."

When he said this, Yuan Tiangang's face was full of dead silence.

Obviously he doesn't want to see this result either, but this is what he sees with a glimpse of heaven.

"Chunfeng, people live in this world, there are many things that we cannot change. All we can do is to do our best as much as possible. As for the next things, let them go with the breeze. "

After Yuan Tiangang finished speaking, he looked up at the night outside the window.

"Look at how beautiful this pitch-black night is. As a teacher, I always think that if one day there is only day and no night in this world, how lonely it will be. And if there is only night and no day? What will it be like?"

Yuan Tiangang murmured: "Perhaps this is the end of the world that the Taoist ancestors said. What does the end of the world look like?"

Li Chunfeng only felt that the mentor at this moment had become very strange, and the strangeness made him feel a little scary.

But he didn't know where the problem was.

Life in the college is still very peaceful.

The head of the mountain retreated to recuperate, and the third senior brother Long Qingquan was still doing imitation shows.

What Zhao Xun had to do, apart from being the audience of the third senior brother, was to practice daily with Yao Yan, the Bamboo Forest Sword Immortal, to ensure that his cultivation was constantly improving.

Of course he knew that he had just been promoted to the fourth-rank realm, and it would be difficult to improve in a short time.

But people look to higher places.

Zhao Xun also hopes to reach the third rank earlier.

Although the third grade is as weak as a grain of corn in the face of the high priest of the Demon Sect and the group of black wizards, at least it can contribute more.

Zhao Xun didn't want him to be just a spectator when the academy guard battle really broke out, it was too sad and helpless.

"Yao Jianxian, there is something I have been unclear about, may I ask you a question or two?"

"But it doesn't matter."

Yao Yan said very calmly.

"Cultivators have their own natal objects. Once the natal objects are destroyed, the realm will plummet."

"Yes."

"For example, my natal object is my Minghong Dao, and your natal object is your bamboo sword. These are very intuitive and easy to understand natal objects. But some other natal objects are not so obvious. .”

Zhao Xun swallowed a mouthful of spit and continued: "For example, the high priest of the Demon Sect, what do you think is his natal object?"

"This"

Yao Yan, the Bamboo Forest Sword Immortal, fell silent for a while.

I have to say that the question Zhao Xun raised is very difficult.

"It's hard for me to say."

Yao Yan shook his head and said: "The high priest of the Demon Sect practiced the magic of the Demon Sect, which is completely different from the ordinary practice system. It stands to reason that practitioners must have natal objects, but no one knows whether the Demon Sect is also in this range. .”

"I once read a classic, which said that the practitioners of the Demon Sect must also follow the Dao of Practice. That is to say, in this world, the rules they follow are exactly the same as ours. The reason why we feel The practice system of Mozong is different from ours, because Mozong’s practice methods are too unique. But if you look carefully, Mozong just exploited the loopholes in the practice world more skillfully, and it still hasn’t exceeded the limit.”

Zhao Xun saw that Yao Yan was also a little uncertain, so he told Yao Yan his understanding of the demon sect practitioners one by one.

"So what do you think their natal objects are?"

Yao Yan asked back.

Zhao Xun wanted to roll his eyes when he heard this.

Good guy, this question was obviously asked by Zhao Xun, why is Yao Yan asking him now.

"In my opinion, the natal object of a Mozong practitioner is likely to be a mirror image object."

"Mirror object?"

"Yes, a man very much like him."

"You mean, doppelgänger?"

Zhao Xun shook his head and said, "It's not a clone. The clone is deliberately created by humans and is completely controlled by the main body. But the mirror image I'm talking about means that both parties have their own thoughts and can make independent judgments and decisions. "

When Zhao Xun said this, Yao Yan was confused.

For a moment Yao Yan didn't know what to say.

"If there is such a mirror image object as you mentioned, how dare he make it his natal object? If this person runs away, wouldn't his realm be greatly reduced?"

"So I guess this mirrored object will be imprisoned by the Mozong practitioners in a fixed area, such as the exile space, the void space. They are more like a backup. If the Mozong practitioners die, their primordial spirit will return. on this spare mirror object."

Zhao Xun felt that he had explained clearly, but it was obvious that Yao Yan did not understand.

"Wait, please speak slowly, you mean that the function of this natal object is the second life of the demon sect practitioners?"

Yao Yan seemed to have grasped the point and was confirming it.

"That's pretty much what it means."

Zhao Xun nodded and said: "This is indeed a bit like a practitioner's second life, or they can have more than two lives, as long as he can find another object to be his natal object after his soul returns to his natal object." .”

Zhao Xun felt that this was a bit like nesting dolls, as long as enough mirror objects could be found, they could go on nesting dolls indefinitely.

Of course, the Mozong cultivator who can create the mirror image of his life must be a very high-level existence.

If ordinary demon sect practitioners have this kind of unique knowledge, it would be too buggy.

Zhao Xun felt that this limit should be set very high, at least a first-grade product, and very likely a super-grade product.

"Well, it seems reasonable to say so."

Yao Yan said in a deep voice: "That's why the High Priest of the Demon Sect is so difficult to kill, because he has always had a mirror image as his natal object. As long as he can't find this mirror image and destroy it, even if he kills the High Priest of the Demon Sect Priest, his primordial spirit will also possess his own body, which means he is immortal."

The word "immortality" is really too beautiful.

Zhao Xun felt that Yao Yan was really good at inventing words.

"It's about the same, so we try our best to be defensive. We don't want to go out of Zhongnan Mountain until the head of the mountain recovers completely."

There are restrictions in Zhongnan Mountain, and the restrictions in the Academy are even stronger.

Any hostile force entering the academy's cultivation realm will be greatly reduced.

There is no doubt about that.

So as long as Zhao Xun and the others stayed in the academy honestly, even if they couldn't defeat the high priest of the Demon Sect and the black wizard, their lives would not be in danger.

But if they were tricked and chased out, the situation might be completely different.

"Well, that's fine."

Daming Palace, Zichen Palace.

Emperor Xianlong frowned, with a look of bitterness and hatred, as if everyone in the world owed him a dime.

"Ban, do you think the head of the mountain is really still in Zhongnan Mountain?"

"Your Majesty, it's not good for servants to talk on their own. If you want to spy on the secret, you have to do it yourself."

Zheng Jie said helplessly.

"Jianzheng, Jianzheng, and Jianzheng again. Yuan Tiangang, an old man, talks nicely and will help me with things, but when it comes to the real thing, he starts to pretend to be dead."

Emperor Xianlong only felt angry.

"It sounds better than anything else, but as soon as he was allowed to spy on the secrets, he started to push back and forth. I really raised a white-eyed wolf."

Emperor Xianlong was furious, and Zheng Jie comforted him, "Your Majesty, the situation is not as bad as you feared."

"It is understandable that the supervisor does not dare to spy on the secret because he is afraid of being punished by the heavens. If a practitioner forcibly spy on the secret, it is really possible to cause God to be angry."

"But I am the Son of Heaven, so why not if I want to see the secrets of heaven?"

Emperor Xianlong still felt a little unconvinced and snorted.

"Your Majesty, there is nothing wrong with what you say. But Yuan Tiangang's temperament is still a little more cautious."

Zheng Jie had no choice but to start making peace.He knew that the Great Zhou Empire had to rely on Yuan Tiangang at the moment.

In the case that the head of the mountain had already broken with Emperor Xianlong, Emperor Xianlong had to stabilize Yuan Tiangang and pull him to his side anyway.

If even Yuan Tiangang abandoned Emperor Xianlong, the situation would be really difficult.

Although Zheng Jie is also a super master, but relying on him alone, it is really difficult to support him alone.

Moreover, his cultivation level can only be regarded as medium among the more than ten super masters.

It's okay if he meets someone weaker than him, but if he meets someone stronger than him, Zheng Jiezhen may not be able to protect Emperor Xianlong.

Zheng Jie didn't dare to take risks, so he had to win over Yuan Tiangang and make him his ally.

Only when the two of them work together can they be truly foolproof.

"Actually, if Your Majesty really wants to test it out, this servant has a way."

Zheng Jie really understood Emperor Xianlong's character very well.

Emperor Xianlong will do everything possible to do what Emperor Xianlong wants to do, and he will do everything possible to get what Emperor Xianlong wants to get.

The more you don't let him do it, the more he will try his best to do it.

Instead of blocking it, it is better to follow his will, so that at least Xianlong will not do something crazy.

"Tell me."

"We can send a first-rank expert to break through the gate of the academy and see how the academy reacts."

Zheng Jie said very viciously: "If the academy is very strong and directly blocks this first-rank strong man from the door, then it means that the head of the mountain is indeed still in Zhongnan Mountain. But if they can't stop or don't If you dare to stop this person, let me explain that the head of the mountain is either not in Zhongnan Mountain, or there are other circumstances."

Emperor Xianlong was overjoyed when he heard the words.

"Big Companion, this is really a good idea. But there is one more thing, I don't understand, where can I find such an expert?"

In Emperor Xianlong's impression, Zheng Jie, the super master, was his most trustworthy person.

Besides, the most powerful practitioner he can mobilize is bad handsome Feng Hao.

But Feng Hao is only at the second rank, and he is far away in Jiannan Road.

So who is the first-rank cultivator he can mobilize?
"Your Majesty, this person is the adopted son of this servant, Zheng Yan."

"Your son?"

"Yes, this person also serves in the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

Emperor Xianlong nodded.

Because eunuchs have no offspring, they often recognize some adopted sons.

Often these adopted sons were also eunuchs.

Because normal men are unlikely to be willing to be eunuchs' adoptive sons, it would not be good for their reputation to spread the word.

"Why have I never heard you mention him?"

Emperor Xianlong still had a suspicious look on his face.

He knew that Zheng Jie was loyal to him and would not deceive him.

But in this matter, Zheng Jie's performance was indeed not satisfactory to Emperor Xianlong.

"This son can only be regarded as a small success, and he cannot enter the eyes of His Majesty."

Zheng Jie's words made Emperor Xianlong choke, not knowing what to say.

A first-grade mind cultivator is also called a small achievement?
Is Zheng Jie showing off?
Emperor Xianlong thought to himself, is Zheng Jie looking down on Feng Hao from the bottom of his heart?
After all, Feng Hao's practice level is only second rank, and Zheng Jie doesn't even notice a first rank adoptive son, so what about Feng Hao?

Of course, Emperor Xianlong would not say this.

But it was as if a thorn had been inserted into his heart, making him very uncomfortable.

"Then try it."

Emperor Xianlong sighed and said, "I hope he won't disappoint me. If he proves to be really useful, I won't treat him badly."

It turns out that no news is the best news.

Because you never know what will happen next.

Zhao Xun finally realized this when his peaceful life was broken.

And it was an eunuch who broke this peaceful life.

This eunuch is Zheng Yan.

Zheng Jie's adopted son, a master of the first rank.

This person came to Zhongnan Mountain with ease, and found the gate of Haoran Academy without any effort.

Then he lightly raised his steps and strode across the mountain barrier.

For Zheng Yan, it seemed so easy to accomplish all this.

Because the restrictions of the academy were set up for practitioners below the third rank from the beginning, and the first rank practitioners ignored these restrictions.

So all this is not a problem for Zheng Yan at all.

"It's a mere ban, but it hurts me."

Zheng Yan arrogantly threw down a harsh word, and strode casually from under the tall archway into the academy.

This is the main entrance of the academy, and entering the academy swaggeringly means that he is announcing his arrival to everyone in the academy.

The academy disciples naturally sensed it.

The sixth senior brother Lu Guangdou was the first to sense it.

He is good at studying various prohibitions.

Academy prohibition is naturally also within its scope.

"Little brother, someone is coming."

Lu Guangdou's tone was very cold, as if he was just an emotionless narrative machine.And so it is.

At least for now, the intruder's strength is not bad. If the disciples of the academy take it lightly, they will easily be taken advantage of by him.

"Is this person here from the Demon Sect? Or is he one of the black wizards?"

Zhao Xun asked eagerly.

The reason he was so eager was mainly because they weren't really ready yet.

Although the academy disciples have been preparing for this moment these days, at least so far they are far from being adjusted to their best condition.Facing the coming storm in such a state, no matter how you look at it, it is not at ease.

"Probably not, the aura of the Demon Sect practitioners is not like this."

Lu Guangdou shook his head and said, "This man's breath smells very strange, he doesn't seem to be a man or a woman."

Not male or female?

Zhao Xun was stunned.

If this is the case, it means that this person is a eunuch.

Because only eunuchs can be neither male nor female, and only eunuchs can emit this strange aura.

But if this person is a eunuch, it should be Zheng Jie.

After all, in Zhao Xun's impression, eunuch Zheng Jie should be the only eunuch who can overcome the restriction of the academy without any scruples.

Zheng Jie is not a fuel-efficient lamp, at least Zhao Xun thinks so.

So it must not be taken lightly.

"Is it Zheng Jie? I always thought that this guy was always by the dog emperor's side and was inseparable from the dog emperor."

After Zhao Xun finished speaking, Lu Guangdou, the sixth senior brother, shook his head again and again and said, "It doesn't seem to be the case. The aura exuding from this person is not like that of Zheng Jie. Zheng Jie is a super master. If he comes, I can definitely feel it. But this person is definitely not."

Lu Guangdou seemed a little hesitant.

"I'm not sure, but I think this person's cultivation level should not have reached the super level, but his cultivation level is indeed very high. I guess it should be the first level."

First rank cultivator?
Or a eunuch?
Zhao Xun who came to this conclusion couldn't help being a little surprised.

The city of Chang'an is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

No, has the eunuch industry started to be so introverted now? Isn't it the kind where first-rank practitioners are embarrassed to greet others?
In any case, for all the disciples in the academy, this is a great challenge.

Zhao Xun is not a hypocritical person, but he knows very well that in the current situation, if he wants to fight against this person, the best way is for Yao Yan, the Bamboo Forest Sword Immortal.

First of all, Yao Yan's current cultivation level is the first rank, and he is currently No.1 besides the head of the mountain.

The head of the mountain is recuperating and recovering from his injuries.

In this case, he definitely can't expect the old man to come forward.

So the best choice is Yao Yan to make a move.

Of course, the senior sister and the second senior sister also have the power to fight, but after all, they haven't pierced the window paper, and they will suffer a disadvantage if they really fight with their opponents.

As for the third senior brother, forget it.

Now the third senior brother managed to dress up as a mountain chief, and he acted like a mountain chief. Telling him to return to his original appearance at this time would be tantamount to killing him.

The third senior brother really knows how to work hard.

Cherishing life is what everyone needs to do, Zhao Xun doesn't want to fight with the third brother at this time.

"Well, go tell Zhulin Sword Immortal. At this time, we should first find out the reality of the other party."

Zhao Xun still maintained his basic rationality.Because he knows very well that the current situation is not good for them.

They must play every card well and be proficient in calculating every place in order for them to win in the end.

"Okay, I'll go right away. I'll trouble my little brother to go to the third senior brother's place."

Zhao Xun nodded and said, "It should."

No matter what, you should explain the situation here to the third brother Long Qingquan as soon as possible.

With Long Qingquan's violent temper and impatient nature, if he knew that everyone in the academy was hiding from him, he would definitely be furious. This is not what they want to see.

"Someone is coming?"

Yao Yan raised his eyebrows instinctively after hearing the words.

"Are you sure it's not the Demon Sect and the Dark Wizard?"

Like Zhao Xun's first reaction, he was confirming.

"Certainly not. The real energy emitted by the Demon Sect and the black wizard is completely different from this guy's breath. I feel that this person is an eunuch."

"Eunuch, is that Zheng Jie?"

"Probably not."

Lu Guangdou shook his head and said: "His cultivation level should not be as strong as Zheng Jie's, and his scruples are a first-rank. Yao Jianxian, can you take a shot to find out the truth?"

"can."

Bamboo Forest Sword Immortal Yao Yan spat out a word lightly.

One product is one product, Yao Yan naturally has nothing to be ashamed of.

From Yao Yan's point of view, there are very few first-rank masters who can compete with him.Even if there are, it is very rare.

Anyway, Yao Yan has never met him in these years.

"Tsk tsk, it seems that these guys have overestimated themselves to a certain extent, and dare to come to the academy to provoke. Do you really think that cats and dogs can violate the interests of the academy?"

There is a reason for Yao Yan to be so angry.

With the current relationship between him and Liu Yingying, they might get married at any time.

What couples in love hate most is being disturbed.

What's more, this person is still an eunuch, which is really unlucky.

The eunuchs themselves don't understand the matters of men and women, yet they did such disgusting things, as if they were intentionally targeting them.

So if Yao Yan didn't target them, wouldn't he be sorry for his reputation as the Sword Immortal of the Bamboo Forest.

Yao Yan raised his sword and left.

What he mentioned was Gezhu Sword, his natal sword.

Every swordsman's natal object is basically a sword, which is different from other practitioners.

Because for a swordsman, the sword is their life.

If a swordsman wants to achieve greater achievements in the way of the sword, they must reach the realm of the unity of man and sword.

Only when they reach this realm, can every sword they sacrifice have great lethality.

"Who is coming, please report your name. Someone who does not kill the unknown."

Yao Yan strode forward and saw a very powerful practitioner walking towards him, and spoke first.

For a cultivator, the other party's true energy is like an offense.

True Qi also has boundaries and territories, and a powerful practitioner will mark the territory by constantly emitting his own True Qi, warning the intruders that this is his territory and not to invade rashly.

The advantage of this is that unnecessary battles can be avoided.

Because the true energy they exude contains a lot of useful information, the most useful of which is the general state of the practitioner.

And if a cultivator senses this true energy, he can judge the general strength of the opponent from the true energy.

If his strength is obviously higher than that of his opponent, then naturally there is nothing to say, and he can invade at any time.

But if his strength is obviously not as good as that of his opponent, then the invasion is clearly beyond his control.

"Bamboo Forest Sword Immortal Yao Yan, right, foster father once mentioned you to me."

Zheng Yan's mood was like a pool of spring water, without any waves.

"Father often told me that there are only more than a dozen super-rank masters in the world, which can be described as rare. But there are dozens of first-rank cultivators. The gap is not insignificant. But among these tens of hundreds of people, there is only one person. The realm is extremely close to super-grade, and at this time the person is you, Yao Yan."

Zheng Yan nodded and said, "I was still unconvinced at the time, but after seeing you today, I really feel that you are a dragon and a phoenix among men. The title of Sword Fairy in the Bamboo Forest is well-deserved."

Yao Yan frowned and said, "Don't talk about it. You haven't responded to what I said just now. Who are you? Let me say it again, I don't kill the unknown."

"tsk tsk"

Zheng Yan laughed loudly and said: "Okay, okay, as expected of the Sword Immortal of the Bamboo Forest, he really has a temper and a personality. Well, let me tell you who I am. I am the internal servant supervisor, the adopted son of the Hussar General Zheng Jie. Word."

"Haha, let me just say, why do I feel an aura of being neither male nor female? It turns out that he is really an eunuch."

Yao Yan bit the word "eunuch" very hard, very deliberately.

He noticed that there was a trace of sullenness on Zheng Yan's face at this moment.

Although this emotional change was very short and fleeting, it was still captured by Yao Yan.

Very thick, as long as the other party has something to hate and fear.

Yao Yan was afraid that his opponent would be a killing machine without emotion.

If so, it would be really difficult.

"Actually, there's one thing I haven't really understood."

After Yao Yan knew the opponent's weakness, the next thing he had to do was to provoke them.

"Why do eunuchs still accept adopted sons? Originally, eunuchs can't have children, so it's better to keep a low profile. As long as you don't mention it yourself, everyone won't think in which direction. But isn't this recognition of adopted sons just in the future?" Remind everyone?"

Zheng Yan's mouth twitched slightly.

"I thought Zhulin Sword Immortal was a reclusive expert, but who would have thought that you would be so vulgar. It is our family who thinks highly of you."

Yao Yan shook his head and said, "Sword Immortal, Wine Immortal, Immortal. I don't like this name. Something with the word "immortal" seems out of touch. I still like to be a human being, and being a human being has a fuss."

After a short pause, Yao Yan continued: "As for you, you seem to be a first-ranker, right? Do you know why your cultivation level has never been able to improve? It's because you are too willing to be a fairy. Of course there are immortals in such things as immortals. Qi, but it also means unreal. If a person is not real, it is difficult to truly form everyone."

There is a consensus in the practice circle that everyone is equal to a great master.

There are tens of hundreds of first-rank practitioners, but there are only a dozen super-rank masters.

The gap is not insignificant.

But if you want to be promoted from the first rank to the super rank, you have to cross not only the threshold of practice, but also the threshold of psychology.

This is really too difficult.

"It's not your turn to teach me here."

Zheng Yan was very angry.

He followed the order of his adoptive father to come to Haoran Academy to find out the truth.

His task is to determine whether the head of the mountain is still in Zhongnan Mountain.

If the head of the mountain is gone, then the adoptive father can do whatever he wants, and there is too much room for manipulation.

On the contrary, if the head of the mountain is still there, then everything has to be considered in the long run.

Although the foster father is very strong, he is indeed no match for the head of the mountain.This has to be admitted.

Sometimes people still have to recognize their own strength.

But Zheng Yan felt that he was not Yao Yan's opponent.

At least judging from the strength they are showing right now, the two of them should be split [-]-[-].

What Zheng Yan hates the most is making a conclusion before the fight begins.

It's a mule or a horse coming out for a walk.

As soon as it came up, it was qualitative. What kind of operation is this?
If this is the case, then there is no need to rely on fighting in the martial arts rankings in the future, and it will be enough to just rely on lip service to rank.

What's the point of this?
"Hmph, whether I can become a grand master is not up to you. You can judge me here for what you think you are."

Zheng Yan said furiously: "We are all first-rank now, and our strength is the same. Today we can make a distinction and see who can break through and reach the realm of super-rank master earlier."

"You want to challenge me?"

Yao Yan's understanding of human psychology is just right.

He knew that Zheng Yan was in a state of extreme anger at the moment, so at this time he tried his best to irritate the other party to ensure that the other party was in a state of anger.

As long as the other person is in anger, he will lose his mind.

And a practitioner who has lost his mind has nothing to fear.

"You are really hateful."

Zheng Yan stomped his feet angrily.

How could this guy be so hateful, to say so many shameless words one after another.

Scholars are really shameless.

No, Yao Yan is not a scholar in essence.He just stayed in Haoran Academy temporarily.

Even so, he has already acquired the bad habits of many scholars.

Like to play tricks is the biggest vice.

"If you want to beat me with your mouth, then talk about it."

Zheng Yan drew his sword without hesitation, and flew towards Yao Yan.

Yao Yan let out a hehe, and thought to himself that you dare to wield a sword in front of me, you are quite courageous.

This is simply playing tricks.

Yao Yan, the bamboo forest sword fairy, claims to be the king of swords. The only people who can compete with him are the old sword fairy from Bashu and Wei Wuji, the sword master of Dongyue Jiange.

Now that the Bashu old sword fairy has passed away, only the sword master Wei Wuji is stronger than Yao Yan in the world.

But Yao Yan didn't look down on Wei Wuji's behavior.

In Yao Yan's view, a swordsman can be arrogant but not shameless.

And Wei Wuji just happened to belong to the shameless type.

Shameless swordsmen don't have any principles at all, they can do anything harmful to the world for their own benefit.

Just talk about Wei Wuji, how many swordsmen who challenged him have been killed over the years?

It is said that masters fight as far as they can, which is also a principle of duels between swordsmen.

If everyone has the mentality of immortality, it will be very detrimental to the development of the practice world.

Because the juniors will have a fearful mentality and dare not challenge those who are stronger than them head-on.

If things go on like this, if the practice world can't be rolled up, naturally it won't be promoted to become stronger.

Wei Wuji is like a cancer, suppressing the growth of young people.

It can be said that as long as Wei Wuji is around for a day, practitioners, especially swordsmen, will always be suppressed.

And if Wei Wuji is subdued or even eliminated, then other kendo juniors will spring up one after another like mushrooms after rain.

this point is very important.

Of course, Yao Yan didn't have time to think about these things at this moment, because Zheng Yan's sword had already come out.

This sword is very fast.

"There is no one in Chang'an City who dares to compete with me."

Yao Yan directly sacrificed his natal sword Gezhu.

Other swords are forged from steel, but Gezhu Sword is not.

The bamboo sword is originally made of bamboo, and it is a veritable bamboo sword.

Bamboo is easy to crack in the north, so Yao Yan needs to smear zhenqi on this bamboo sword every day, so that the bamboo can be maintained properly.

Otherwise, there is no need to open and crack when fighting, and it will easily crack on weekdays.

The Gezhu sword focused on the spirit rather than the form, and it stabbed straight in front of Zheng Yan's sword, and with just a light flick, Zheng Yan's sword was pushed aside.

Zheng Yan was shocked.

The two sides only played against each other once, but judging from the opponent's performance, the realm of strength is obviously above him.

"Good swordsmanship!"

One good thing about Zheng Yan is that once he recognizes the strength of his opponent, he will give him the utmost respect.

Even if this opponent is his mortal enemy, he will not obliterate the opponent's strength.

"Turn into a thousand!"

Zheng Yan let out a loud shout, and immediately the one sword in his hand turned into thousands.

Thousands of swords gathered together and stabbed straight at Yao Yan.

"Everything grows!"

Yao Yan didn't panic in the slightest. To outsiders, the trick of turning one thousand into one might look very powerful, but to an expert like Yao Yan, it really doesn't seem worth mentioning.

"It's really strong."

Zheng Yan watched Yao Yan's bamboo sword grow longer and thicker, and was amazed for a moment.

After the bamboo sword grew up, it blocked the attack of Zheng Yan's thousands of swords.

Zheng Yan was forced to take back the sword, Wan Jian returned to the sect!

"Excellent swordsmanship, worthy of being the number one sword in Chang'an."

"I don't like that title."

Yao Yan frowned and shook his head upon hearing this.

After the two sides fought each other, they had to have a general understanding of the other's cultivation level.

From Yao Yan's point of view, Zheng Yan's strength is indeed very powerful, but it's a pity that he didn't use it for the right way.

Of course, Zheng Yan's sword quality is still good. After losing with a sword, he didn't use any tricks but directly recovered the sword energy.

"The title Chang'an No. [-] Sword Immortal despises me too much. Now that the old Bashu Sword Immortal has died, there is no problem calling me the No. [-] Sword Immortal of Great Zhou."

"Hehe, what a great Zhou No. [-] Sword Immortal, have you asked me?"

Zheng Yan shook his head and said: "If you want to be the No. [-] Sword Immortal of the Great Zhou, you must first step over me. You and I are both of the same rank. You want to claim No. [-] without defeating me."

In his opinion, Yao Yan was indeed crazy, but not to the point of losing his mind.

At least he has not claimed to be the number one sword fairy in the world.

If Yao Yan claimed to be the number one swordsman in the world, even Wei Wuji would have traveled thousands of miles to take Yao Yan's life.

"Then come and fight to see who is the number one Sword Immortal of Great Zhou."

Yao Yan naturally had nothing to fear.

His strength was far superior to Zheng Yan's, Yao Yan didn't know how to lose in the fight between the two sides.

"Sword come!"

The battle between the two parties just now was just a little trial, and they didn't use their real strength.

But this time he was going to use his ultimate move.

Accompanied by Yao Yan's roar, all the bamboos in the bamboo grove not far away burst out of the ground and flew straight towards Zheng Yan.

"Sword out!"

Zheng Yan didn't dare to be careless, and turned his sword into thousands of swords to meet Yao Yan.

When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins. As a swordsman, you can't have any cowardice at this time.

But if you make a cowardly move, your momentum will be completely vented.

The momentum of the master duel is the most important.

Anything can be vented except momentum!
I saw countless swords and bamboo swords fighting each other, covering the sky and the sun for a while, so strong.

"happy!"

Since Feijian and Zhujian were fighting each other, Yao Yan and Zheng Yan were free from each other.

They can still continue to talk without any scruples.

Until one of them Feijian completely defeated the opponent.

"Worthy of being a sword fairy in the bamboo forest, he has reached the realm of perfection with the ability to transform bamboo into a sword."

Zheng Yan sighed in admiration: "Others have to stick to borrowing swords when borrowing swords, but you can borrow swords directly from bamboo forests, which is really chic!"

Zheng Yan's words undoubtedly made Yao Yan feel very useful.

"You still have some knowledge, but you don't have to flatter me here, because no matter how much you flatter me, I won't let you go. Those who commit crimes in the academy will have to pay a price."

Bamboo Forest Sword Immortal Yao Yan spread his hands and said, "You think you are very strong, but in my opinion, it is not worth mentioning at all. Everything you are doing now is in vain."

"Then you misunderstood."

Zheng Yan said lightly: "I don't mean to flatter you, I'm just telling the truth. I'm not afraid of you, the truth is that I really like to fight against the real strong, because it can make people stronger .”

"Okay, then I'd be more than happy."

Yao Yan thought it was impossible for him to lose, so it was fine to play with Zheng Yan.

"Thousands of swords in one!"

Seeing that the bamboo swords could not beat Yao Yan separately, Zheng Yan thought about combining the swords together.

After finishing the mantra of "Unity of Ten Thousand Swords", the countless swords merged into one gigantic sword, stabbing straight at Yao Yan who was not far away.

"The person who received my sword has not appeared so far!"
