return from cultivation

Chapter 707 The Third Strike

Yan Zhongli is the person You Tianlu fears the most, every day he can't be found, You Tianlu can't feel at ease.

Those cultivators in the Heavenly Human Realm were also full of helplessness.The world of self-cultivation is so vast, and Yan Zhongli's current power is very strange, leaving no traces when he walks.Finding his whereabouts is no easier than finding a needle in a haystack.And not to mention Yan Zhongli, even Liu Jianyi who walked with him can't be found now.

But such words cannot be said to the king, otherwise You Tianlu will be furious.

Several people looked at each other, but bowed their heads and cupped their hands, saying: "I will do my best and leave."

You Tianlu waved his hand impatiently, but then suddenly asked: "How is the situation with Jianxiu?"

A person who is familiar with the situation in the capital turned around and replied: "Jianxiu now respects Zhou Hongjun, but he has no intention of loyalty. Most people are still waiting for Yan Zhongli to come back to take charge of the overall situation. Zhou Hongjun is just a person pushed to the front. Pretense. According to the investigation, some sword cultivators thought that Yan Zhongli would not come back again, and they already had the intention of leaving the capital. If the lord wants to attack Jianxiu, the subordinates feel that they can wait a little longer. If Yan Zhongli never returns to the capital, Sword cultivators must collapse on their own."

You Tianlu hummed, without Yan Zhongli and Liu Jianyi, Jianxiu is no longer a big force, it's just a mess, not worth paying more attention to.Whether to move them depends entirely on You Tianlu's mood.Of course, if Yan Zhongli really left the capital and never came back, then it's normal for You Tianlu to choose to let go of his sword and cultivate a way out.

"Go down and find Yan Zhongli's whereabouts as soon as possible." You Tianlu said, judging from his tone, he seemed to be in a better mood.

After these celestial beings retreated, You Tianlu snorted, and immediately a figure walked out with his head down.You Tianlu didn't look at him either, but only ordered: "Find a time and kill those who are loyal to Yan Zhongli, and be careful not to leave any tails behind."

The figure whose face could not be seen clearly nodded and stepped back.

At this time, someone shouted at the front gate of the palace: "Report to the lord, there is an urgent report from Kongling Kingdom."

"Empty spirit? What's the matter?" You Tianlu was a little surprised. The major lands seldom communicate with each other. Basically, you don't look for me, and I don't look at you.It is rare to see such an urgent report directly from the capital in decades.

The person at the door walked in quickly, and while presenting the document written with spiritual wood chips, he replied: "I don't know too well, I only know it from the person who sent the document, and it seems to be related to Faxiu."

"Faxiu? Then what's the rush? The Kongling Kingdom is really..." You Tianlu said, opened the document and glanced at it, and the words stopped immediately.

It was written on the document: "Faxiu strikes, Void Spirit is in danger, urgently ask Hongyu Land for rescue!"

There is no inscription on it, but judging from the handwriting and the remaining power of heaven and earth, it should be written by someone in the realm of heaven and man.Moreover, documents can be sent in the name of the capital, at least someone at the level of the head of the capital's internal affairs and the deputy commander of the barracks.

Just sixteen words, You Tianlu frowned.

After Faxiu occupied the land of Tiangang, he took the opportunity to capture the land of Dayan, which had no rulers.The whole world knows about this matter.Faxiu, who owns two lands, has been quiet for two years and has not launched any attacks.For the country, the lords and even other practitioners don't really care much about it.I can't run out of my own land, so I don't care what others do.

Even Faxiu went to great lengths to occupy the land of Dayan, and many people ridiculed him.There are not so many people, but so many lands have been taken, isn't it just adding pressure to yourself?
In the eyes of everyone, Faxiu is almost synonymous with fools.

But now, Faxiu attacked for the third time, directly attacking the Capital of the Void Spirit.Moreover, it also asked the capital to directly issue an emergency request for help.

"How could it be?" You Tianlu frowned and asked, "Where are the people we arranged in Kongling Capital? Didn't there be any news to report?"

The person below shook his head and said, "Empty Spirit Country has been sealed off by law cultivators, and no one can enter or leave. Moreover, practitioners in the capital have suffered heavy casualties. It's hard to say whether our spies are still alive."

"No one can go in and out, how did this document get out?" You Tianlu asked coldly.

The person below didn't know, so he could only lower his head and not speak.

After thinking for a while, You Tianlu said: "Go, and then send spies to find out the situation. If Faxiu really attacks the capital of Kongling Kingdom, he will order the major cities to be on guard."

The practitioner at the bottom raised his head and asked in astonishment: "Shouldn't we send someone to help Kongling Capital first? If it's true, after the spies find out, I'm afraid it will take a lot of time to go back and forth."

"Kongling was attacked, not my Hongyu. Even if you want to help, you must first confirm whether the Kongling Kingdom is really in danger. Otherwise, if everyone comes to my Hongyu Land for help, wouldn't they be someone else's helper? " You Tianlu said in a deep voice.

Hearing his tone was very bad, the practitioner at the bottom didn't dare to say more, and hurriedly retreated.

After the man left, You Tianlu looked down at the document again. He suddenly thought that a young man followed Yan Zhongli and Huo Lianggong to come here four years ago, hoping that he could form an alliance with several other countries and send troops together Suppress the law-cultivating forces in the territory of Tiangang.In the eyes of You Tianlu at the time, this young man was very ridiculous.

First of all, the land of Tiangang has nothing to do with the land of Hongyu.No matter who becomes the master, Hongyu Land doesn't bother to take care of it.

Secondly, among the five major lands, the territory of Hongyu ranks first in force.It's good enough not to bully others, who would dare to challenge the majesty of Hongyu's land?
Furthermore, as far as the algorithmic cultivation is really threatening, why should Hongyu Land take care of it?Once a fight breaks out, who will be responsible for the loss of manpower and material resources?Is it the land of Tiangang?
Simply nonsense!
Why should the Hongyu land do things that have no benefit at all, and how many practitioners are willing to risk their future and life for other lands?

Therefore, You Tianlu didn't bother to talk to that young man at all, so he just sent him away without hesitation.

Two years later, Faxiu occupied the scattered land of Dayan, and Hong Botao, the commander of the barracks, died in battle.When he heard the news, You Tianlu was only a little surprised, more puzzled.He didn't understand why Faxiu needed so much land. Do they have so many people?According to the investigation, the number of law repairers is less than one-third of the population of the capital.

This news made You Tianlu smile, it really is a small force that can't get on the stage.With such a small number of people, it occupies two pieces of land. It is estimated that even if it is managed, it will be enough for them to have a headache.

You Tianlu naturally wouldn't take such a "little person" to heart.

But now, Faxiu attacked again, and the chosen target was the Ethereal Land.

Although the Ethereal Land is more than 200 million miles away from the Hongyu Land, a trace of uneasiness suddenly rose in You Tianlu's heart.

He remembered a sentence that the young man said four years ago: "The only thing I can tell you is that if you don't pay attention to Dharma cultivation, the place where you stand today will be the site of Dharma cultivation within 20 years."

Four years later, Faxiu did not attack the territory of Hongyu, but these words kept echoing in You Tianlu's mind.An inexplicable uneasiness arose in his heart. Could it be that Fa Xiu is really as powerful as that young man said?
But how is it possible... Hongyu's territory has been developed for hundreds of years, but it has not been able to unify the entire world. It has only been a few years since the mere legal revision can grow to this level?

The uneasiness in his heart became stronger and stronger, and You Tianlu frowned more and more.But he still did not choose to send troops immediately, but insisted on waiting for the news to be clear.But even if they send troops, they have to make it clear to Fuyuan Kingdom first, that they cannot be allowed to do good deeds in Hongyu Kingdom alone.There is also the wear and tear during the war, which is also the responsibility of the ethereal land, who made you get beaten.

Maybe, there is a chance to snatch the treasure of Ethereal Land?
You Tianlu is already an existence at the peak of the Heavenly Human Realm, even if he has two identical treasures in his hands, it will not allow him to directly break through to a higher realm.But thinking about being able to control the fate of others a little more, You Tianlu felt very happy in his heart, and even his anxiety was relieved a lot.

While Lord Hongyu was having a sweet dream, two distinguished guests came near Changping Town.

Yan Zhongli and Liu Jianyi, whom You Tianlu tried hard but failed to find, entered the sphere of influence of Changping Town.Their arrival surprised everyone.Even people who are not familiar with the power of Hongyu's land know from the discussions of people around them that these two are Yan Zhongli, the number one swordsman in the world, and Liu Jianyi, the elder brother who is most likely to become the second peak swordsman!
Knowing that these two were coming, Su Hang also had to put aside the matter of refining the star sword for the time being, and went out to meet them.After all, the other party is a top master in the late stage of the Heavenly Human Realm, and it would be shameful not to come out.

It's just that he didn't understand why Yan Zhongli would come, could it be because of those craftsmen?

Previously, Suhang proposed to exchange the refiners. On the one hand, Suhang really had the idea of ​​rotation, and on the other hand, he was also testing Yan Zhongli's reaction to the establishment of Jianzong.If the other party is not too happy, the 24 craftsmen may have to stay in the capital.But Suzhou and Hangzhou don't matter, anyway, they have taught everything that needs to be taught, and it would be a good thing if they have more resources in the country to practice.In future wars, these refiners will become the backbone of human practitioners!

Yan Zhongli's arrival surprised Suhang very much. He couldn't figure out whether the other party ran so far because of Jianzong or because of the craftsman.

However, Suhang couldn't help being stunned when he saw the two people's current appearance.

Master swordsman Liu Jianyi has practiced sword intent with his eyes closed for 50 years.When I saw him today, I saw him open his eyes.It's just that the eye sockets are pitch black, and there are no eyes!

Liu Jianyi is a top expert in the mid-stage of Heaven-Human Realm, who can gouge out his eyes?Why didn't he use the power of heaven and earth to reorganize his body and restore his eyes?

As for Yan Zhongli, it was even more strange.

His appearance is still the same as before, but his appearance is very different.The faint smile hanging on his face, and the faint light behind his head, all revealed various differences.

The most important thing is that the breath on his body is completely different from before.

If Yan Zhongli was a sword cultivator in the past, now he is like a cloud that is suddenly distant and near, not quite a person anymore.The aura of heaven and man is not reflected in him at all.

Suhang has seen the method that can hide the aura of power, but above the late stage of the Heavenly Human Realm, because it has already merged with the heaven and the earth, even if the aura is hidden, some clues can still be seen.The higher the cultivation base, the higher the degree of integration with the heaven and the earth, which cannot be changed or concealed.

"Little friend, don't think it's strange." Yan Zhongli said with a smile: "If you hadn't woken up, I wouldn't have realized the true meaning of enlightenment. Now, I came here specially to end this karma."

"Cause and effect?" Suhang repeated the word. In this era, the concepts of reincarnation, heaven, and cause and effect have not yet appeared. How could Yan Zhongli suddenly say this word?
Suhang looked at him even more strangely, and asked, "Master Yan, what's wrong with you?"

Since Yan Zhongli said that he had a realization, he must have made a breakthrough, but his breakthrough seemed to be different from what others saw.Even Suhang couldn't tell what he had broken through, or what he had comprehended.

"The word Yan Zhongli is a cloud of the past. Today, my name is Tathagata." Yan Zhongli smiled and stretched out his hand, pressing on the top of Su Hang's head: "The cause of the future, the fruit of today, little friend, take me to the past It’s all about cultivation.”
