At dawn, above the seven clouds.
The iron madman's whole body emitted blood flames, and he let out bursts of screams under the morning light.
The extremely distorted changes in these blood flames revealed faces as thin as fingertips, all of them roaring and wailing in pain.
They are constantly disintegrating and regenerating.
At the same time, traces of black mist spewed out from the interior of the Iron Buddha and dissipated between heaven and earth.
What was screaming and struggling was actually the 'Qiongqi' spirit in his body.
The Luohan Sect took advantage of Chu Xisheng's visit to Heluo and used the same tactics against Tie Kuangren to stabilize his sanity.
They still used the blood of Jiudai Wangtianhu to inspire the spirit of 'Qiongqi' to its most powerful and violent state, and then put it under the sun to bake until the power of the spirit of 'Qiongqi' was exhausted. Run out.
"After this time, the madman can maintain his intelligence for another two months. Originally, I expected that by the beginning of next month, I would be able to help him complete the art of turning the world upside down and completely control his body. But now I have decided to postpone it for a while. Put it off until the end of next month.”
As Luo Hanzong spoke, he made a secret seal with both hands and put away the spell.
The iron madman also fell from the sky. The blood flames on his body had completely disappeared, and his eyesight returned to clarity.
However, his expression was a little sluggish, as if the oil had run out.
Although the spirit that was burned just now was the spirit of 'Qiongqi', it was also a part of this body.
Under the puzzled gaze of Chu Xisheng, the Luohan Sect explained: "I plan to use the spirit of Qiongqi as the leader in the treasure house of your house to purify and absorb the evil spirits and resentment in the Heluo underground. You can Understand it as the art of refining corpses.
I discovered that Madman's talents were excellent, much better than I imagined, and almost not as good as mine. His current body still has a lot of room for improvement. It would be a pity if he just transformed like this. I want to truly refine his body to the second level and then transform again. "
Chu Xisheng understood the truth instantly.
The stronger the Qiongqi spirit is at this time, the stronger it will be after reversing Yin and Yang.
As for the Iron Madman's talent, that was because he had used the Iron Madman's first-level, second-level, and third-level enhancement cards on the Iron Maniac before he left Wang'an last time.
Based on Tie Kuangren's own talent, he continued to strengthen it by about 60%, which is on par with the current Tie Xiaosheng.
He thought for a while: "The art of refining corpses is very expensive, right? In the future, it will become more difficult for Uncle Kuang to cleanse his karma and eliminate resentment."
"It will cost a lot of money and use a lot of top-notch heavenly materials and earthly treasures. But it is still worth it. After completing the sacrifice, the madman brother's rank can be strengthened to the second level, and his body and strength can reach below the first level. In the future He only needs to be able to collect enough divine power from the public, and his combat power will be enough to compete with the masters on the Heavenly Ranking."
The Luohan Sect nodded slightly and smiled with a sly expression: "As for the karma and resentment, it is really troublesome to train. But his talent is really good and he can suppress it. The madman brother may be able to find his own way in the future, and his achievements will be far beyond this."
Chu Xisheng touched the bridge of her nose helplessly: "Please make a list for me."
Fortunately, he had previously used the remaining pages of the book of discipline to exchange for a lot of good things from Wen Zhuoyi, and opened a treasure house in Yunhai Immortal Palace, otherwise he would really be a bit overwhelmed now.
But as Luohanzong said, this is a good deal.
What Chu Xisheng lacks now is a reliable arm.
If you want to control chaos, your own strength cannot be too weak, otherwise you will definitely be swallowed by chaos.
And even if interests are excluded, he will do his best to help his crazy uncle.
"By the way." Chu Xisheng remembered something again: "Mr. Luo, can you give me the compass you captured? Chu is willing to give me money in exchange."
"Is this what you're talking about?"
Luohanzong took out a black compass from his sleeve, which was one of the trophies he obtained after killing the black-robed magician.
"I'll give it to you if you want it. This thing is a sub-body of the 'Eternal God Disk'. It's useless and not worth much."
The Luohan Sect casually threw the compass to Chu Xisheng: "'The Divine Plate of the Universe' was originally the eternal sacred treasure of the Time God Candle Guangyin. It is said that it was half-stepped in its heyday, but was captured by the Seven Killers in ancient times.
Lord Qi Shaxing sacrificed several pieces of the 'Cosmic God Disk' and gave them to his mortal priests, which can only be used by those with his divine scrolls. "
There was something strange in Chu Xisheng's eyes, thinking that this thing was very useful.
If you use it well, you might be able to avert a disaster for yourself and the Wuxiang Divine Sect.
"Thank you very much."
He then turned his head and looked at Zuo Qingyun at the stern of the boat and Bai Huhou, who looked confused.
He smiled slightly: "Sister-in-law, are you still in a daze? Haven't you thought about it clearly?"
Bai Huhou turned his head and looked at Chu Xisheng with an extremely complicated expression.
When she saw the Arhat Sect and the Iron Madman, she thought of the big incident that happened in Xishan not long ago.
One is that the Chu family's annex was destroyed, and Princess Longyang's mother and son were kidnapped; the other is that the tomb of King Bawu in Xishan was destroyed by gangsters.
Both of these projects require a powerful magician.
Marquis Baihu has never been to the scene of the murder, but the imperial court seems to have identified this magician as the Archmage of the Stars, Luohan Sect. The Ministry of Punishment has included this person in the top ten on the blacklist, and is wanted for arrest throughout Daning.
The problem is that the Luohan Sect has lost its mind and gone crazy, so why do they want to take grain from the fire for Chu Xisheng?
Marquis Baihu looked at Chu Xisheng intently for a long time, and then sighed softly: "I didn't expect that you are actually the Chu Zheng who lives in the Chu family room."
Zuo Qingyun, who was opposite her, was stunned when he heard this, and then he was dumbfounded and looked at Chu Xisheng in great surprise.
He had stayed in the capital for more than a year and had heard some anecdotes about the Chu family.
He never expected that Chu Xisheng had such an identity, that he was actually the legitimate son of the Chu family who was buried with King Bawu?
Is this true or false?
Chu Xisheng raised the corners of her lips slightly.
He was not surprised at all. Bai Huhou was the White Tiger Divine Catcher, an experienced criminal. It was strange that he couldn't guess his name.
"As expected of the White Tiger Marquis, he is aware of the subtleties and knows the subtleties. So I say that it is very risky for you and your wife to hide under my wings. What do you think?"
Zuo Qingyun snorted softly when he heard this. With a cold face, he showed the majesty of his husband: "Do you still need to hesitate? If there is no hope this time, we are doomed. Since it is the Seven Kills God who has taken a fancy to you. Body, then even though this world is big, only Xisheng here can have a place for us."
He knew that the risk Chu Xisheng said was nothing more than offending the emperor and being regarded as a traitor by the Daning court.
In Zuo Qingyun's opinion, there was no need to think about it.
If you don't help your brothers, why don't you help the emperor and fight against your brothers?
Unlike his father, he has no loyalty to the emperor.
It's just the opposite, no big deal.
His father can't control him either, as his surname is now 'Gao Shan'.
"That's not necessarily the case." Chu Xi said with a half-smile, "Sister-in-law should have a backup plan. Even without me, I think she can escape safely this time."
The White Tiger Marquis has been planning for more than ten years to transfer his skills. How could he not have any reliable backup?
Bai Huhou smiled bitterly and took out a purple-gold jade pendant in his hand: "I made several projects related to the 'Stone God' Shi Yin in the past, and formed a good relationship with this god. Where can I ask for it?" A promise made by the Stone God himself. But since the matter involves the Seven Killing God Lords, the Stone God’s promise may not be able to protect me.”
She ignored Zuo Qingyun, but still looked at Chu Xisheng steadily: "If we don't agree, will Mr. Dao worry about the two of us leaking the secret?"
Chu Xisheng smiled and asked, "Can you do it? Also, even if the news is leaked, why should Chu be afraid?"
Bai Huhou was stunned when he heard this, and then sighed secretly.
Yes, Chu Xisheng is getting more and more wings, so why should he be afraid?
She now knows that Chu Xisheng's true cultivation level is only below the fourth level.
However, it is a fact that this person's combat power has reached the top thirty on the Earth Ranking, and he is even more invincible in front of the Ten Thousand Army Formation.
——This is even more terrifying! It’s even more shocking!
Bai Huhou then cast a sidelong glance at the Star Archmage Luo Hanzong next to him: "Since Lord Dao is still alive, then King Bawu must also be alive?"
She thought of the recent drastic changes in the four Northeastern states, as well as the Anbei Army of the Qin family, and the five million frontier troops in the four Bingyoujijue states.
Although Qin Sheng still retains the position of "commander of the military affairs of the two Bingji Prefectures", he nominally controls the three million border troops of the two prefectures.
However, Qin Muge, the 'unparalleled, blue-eyed military governor' of all ages, has a high prestige in the North, and has the Wuxiang Divine Sect as his support. All he needs to do is stand up and shout——
Bai Huhou swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
The young man in front of him was already one of the most powerful people in the world.
Her husband has such a fate.
Before Chu Xisheng could answer, Bai Huhou bowed to Chu Xisheng with a solemn expression: "As my husband said, although the world is big, only Lord Dao has room for us. Land. During the next period of time, the little girl and her husband will ask Lord Dao for his protection. The little girl would like to thank you."
The Luohan Sect thought that this woman was very smart, no wonder she could climb to the position of Baihu Marquis as a woman and still be so young.
She probably guessed that she was working for Chu Xisheng because of King Bawu.
But this person probably wouldn't have thought that he was doing things for Chu Xisheng not just because of Qin Muge.
"The White Tiger Marquis does not need to be like this. Qingyun and I are brothers of life and death. His affairs are my affairs. There is no reason to stand by and watch."
Chu Xi laughed and let out a force, and Yaokong helped Bai Huhou up: "Then we will return to Xiushui together later. Also, this is the wedding gift I prepared for you. I never had the chance to give it to you."
He took out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve and handed it to Marquis Baihu.
Marquis Baihu didn't care much at first, but when she took the porcelain bottle, her eyes showed infinite surprise: "Is this the Holy Land of Giant Spirits, the essence of the ancient blood pool?"
This thing can help her reshape her body.
Although she can only reach the fifth level, it can still restore some of her combat power and have a certain life-saving ability. And the subsequent recovery speed will also be greatly accelerated.
※※※※
After Iron Maniac regained some of his energy, Luohan Sect took him away.
They have to stay in Xishan for more than a month until they can complete the "reversing yin and yang" technique there.
This time, the two of them just came to help temporarily on Chu Xisheng's order.
Chu Xisheng then drove the Sun-Bathering Divine Boat and took Zuo Qingyun and his wife back to Xiushui County.
To his surprise, when passing through Feizhou, Bai Huhou asked him to let the two of them go.
Bai Huhou knew that the Iron Banner Gang was at war with the "Shui Tian Hui" entrenched in the middle reaches of the Shenxiu River.
She wanted to let Zuo Qingyun practice on the battlefield, and at the same time personally guide Zuo Qingyun in his martial arts practice.
For all martial arts of the killing and metal lineage, the best place to practice is the battlefield. In the battle and killing, you can experience the martial will and the heavenly rules and complete the secret rituals of the heavens.
For example, Chu Xisheng, not long ago, he had completed almost all the secret rituals of the Heaven-Slaying Sword in the Ten Thousand Demons Cave and the Canglang Plains battlefield!
How far has he accomplished it?
If Chu Xisheng is willing to specialize in the Heaven-Destroying Sword, then there is no problem for him to be promoted to the first rank now. Even being promoted to Super Grade in the future is not impossible.
Any thought or action he has now can be echoed by the Heavenly Rules of Punishment.
According to Chu Yunyun's evaluation, the degree of integration between Chu Xisheng and Zhu Mie Tiangui has already reached the level of Su Fengdao.
Therefore, he is now researching the Heaven-Slaying Martial Intent, which can be said to be making rapid progress.
This heavenly law is responding to him and tolerating him.
Bai Huhou obviously also wanted Zuo Qingyun to follow this example, hone his martial arts in battles, and make up for the secret rituals of the heavens that Zuo Qingyun lacked.
This is exactly what Chu Xisheng meant.
Lu Luanli was short of helpers. Although Shuitianhui was in disarray, it had a large number of people. Those who protect the law are obedient on the surface, but have ulterior motives.
One Crazy Sword Feng San is still not enough to ensure safety.
Although Zuo Qingyun's second-grade upper level cultivation level is a bit weak, with his horizontal training body, he can bully most third-grade ones without any problem.
Especially on the battlefield and in cities with narrow streets, it is especially suitable for Zuo Qingyun now.
What's more, there is a White Tiger Marquis who is at the fifth level, which is enough to make up for Zuo Qingyun's weakness.
While Chu Xisheng put the two of them down, he used the Supreme Sword Shu Huaishi's 20% off talent card, which he had been reluctant to use, on Zuo Qingyun.
Any super martial arts cultivator is a person with extraordinary talent.
Shu Huaishi's 80% talent is enough to allow any martial artist to reach the first level.
This will surely enable Zuo Qingyun to master his own power as soon as possible.
After saying goodbye to the two of them, Chu Xisheng returned to the Chu family mansion in Xishan Town.
One day later, he took everyone from the Iron Flag Gang to the headquarters of the Iron Flag Gang.
He moved the helmsman of the Iron Flag Gang back to the stone castle at the east dock of Xiushui County.
Two years ago, Tie Kuangren built a large-scale palace here, with many disciples living there, and planned to use this place as the chief helm of the Iron Banner Gang.
Later, Tie Xiaosheng continued his efforts and finally completed the main rudder in a year.
This place is much better than the Chu family mansion.
The Tie brothers used a lot of materials. Not only is the fort wall strong, but there is also a complete magic circle inside, and its defensive capabilities are as good as those of the county.
It's a pity that before they could enjoy it, they evacuated under the pressure of the Far East Ice City military force, broke into pieces, and hid among the people.
Until Chu Xisheng had a big battle with the 'Bingcheng Jijian' in Jiangnan County, forcing Bingcheng to deal with the murderer.
This move not only boosted the Iron Flag Gang's prestige, but also allowed them to proudly move the helm back to its original location.
Chu Xisheng stayed here for more than a month.
Although the affairs were very busy and the chaos in the gang led to numerous official affairs, everything went smoothly.
Lu Pingyuan, the leader of the Internal Affairs Hall, rebuilt the gang's roster and files with the help of Sikong Xin, the leader of the Iron Flag Hall.
What is surprising is that there are more than a thousand gang members on this roster than before.
However, no matter how Lu Pingyuan investigated and inquired, he could not figure out where the extra thousand people came from——
The Iron Banner Gang also recruited an additional 12,000 official members to fill the newly built three battle halls.
These gangs are of extremely high quality.
In addition to the hundreds of well-known Jianghu martial arts cultivators who came to serve Wuji Sword Lord, giving Lu Pingyuan even more headaches. Most of the others are recruited from outside gangs and are extremely reliable.
All of them are at the ninth level of cultivation, one-third of them have reached the eighth level, and their quality is almost as good as that of the border troops.
It is worth mentioning that at this time, the Iron Banner Gang controlled the only maritime trade route between Youzhou and the Jiangnan states.
Because the main city of Far East Ice City is located over the sea outside Daning, the maritime trade routes at this time are almost cut off. Only ships under the banner of the Iron Flag Gang can travel through the sea and reach Youzhou, where they can purchase various secret medicines. Lingzhen.
——They can even get a 10% discount from the Wuxiang Divine Sect.
So in just one and a half months, the Iron Flag Gang's merchant fleet made two trips back and forth, and the Iron Flag Gang made a lot of money.
In just one transaction, they earned as much as 3,000 copies of the eighth-grade secret medicine for the gang, and as many as 10,000 copies of the ninth-grade secret medicine.
The war in Feizhou is also going smoothly.
After Lu Luanli took over the command, the effect was immediate.
The fighting spirit of the six guardians has greatly increased, and they are united in their will. They are unstoppable on the battlefield. They have defeated the Shuitian Society for twenty-seven times in a row. They have killed tens of thousands of Shuitian members, and the fourth-level martial arts cultivators have suffered no less than thirty casualties.
This surprised Tie Xiaosheng.
The combat prowess of these Dharma protectors is a bit hard to understand.
As long as they want to win, they almost never lose. Even if the leader of Shuitian Guild, whose cultivation level is as high as the first level, takes action personally, they can escape intact.
In short, due to the hard work of these guardians, the Iron Banner Gang not only occupied the four counties in the south of Feizhou, but also moved north along the river to the four counties in the west of Feizhou.
However, the focus of the current battle has turned to the surface of the Shenxiu River.
Just half a month ago, Zhou Liangchen united 150,000 Iron Banners to help the navy advance westward against the current. They fought several battles, forcing the Shuitianhui to continue to retreat.
Shuitianhui may have been avoiding large-scale decisive battles because they were afraid of Chu Xisheng's divine will. First, the navy army was divided into dozens of groups, with the intention of guerrilla fighting in the vast Dongyang Lake to induce the Iron Banner Gang to divide their troops.
However, although Zhou Liangchen was young, he was quite calm in his military use.
He did not let Shuitianhui get what he wanted. From the beginning to the end, he concentrated his forces and pushed forward with a large army. He cooperated with the Iron Banner Gang directly under Lu Luanli on the shore to sweep the water fortresses, docks and warehouses of Shuitianhui along the river. field.
——This is cutting off its supply.
In recent days, the Shuitianhui Navy's supplies have been completely cut off, and all ships have no place to dock.
Zhou Liangchen also forcibly commandeered all merchant ships and sailors along the coast, causing his naval force to swell to 250,000 men and press toward the western mouth of Dongyang Lake.
——This is to attack it and save it.
Shuitianhui had no choice but to gather its naval forces at the mouth of the lake. The next step was to continue retreating along the river or fight a decisive battle with the Iron Banner Gang.
They have no other choice. A water battle involving hundreds of thousands of people is about to break out at the mouth of Dongyang Lake.
Chu Xisheng didn't pay much attention. He believed in Zhou Liangchen and Zhou Xiongba behind him.
During this month and a half, in addition to handling the affairs of the gang, he also accumulated real energy and studied martial arts.
He progressed very quickly, and his sixteenth-level Shenyang bloodline allowed him to reach the ultimate speed of practice no matter what technique he practiced.
In terms of martial arts, he focuses on the 'Slaying Heaven Sword'.
He made rapid progress. Not only did he master the third form, but he also raised the Zhutian Intent to two levels again, reaching the twenty-first level overall.
The Mystery of the Heavens of Wuxiang Gong is also making a gratifying progress.
After Chu Xisheng sorted it out, although the Iron Flag Gang seemed to be in order on the surface at this time, anyone who was interested could detect that there were more and more undercurrents and it was becoming more and more turbid.
Even the wisest and most intelligent people cannot fully grasp the internal situation of the Iron Banner Gang.
Chu Xisheng's secret ritual of the heavens had been completed to the lower level of the third level without even realizing it.
He also received a letter from Lu Luanli.
Just from Lu Luanli's choice of words, we can tell how excited she was. In this battle, she has completed the Hunyuan Gong, the Great Ming Dynasty King Wheel and the fourth-grade heavenly secret ritual of Measuring Heaven Sword.
The holy legend that Lu Luanli chose was the Pingtian Sword.
This is undoubtedly a wise choice. The killing power of the Ming Dynasty King Lun is no less than that of the Heaven-Slaying Sword, and it can also confuse people's minds, and the true energy is endless.
There is no need for her to repair the Heaven-Destroying Sword anymore.
The Pingtian Sword, which can increase combat power, is undoubtedly the best choice.
Recently, Lu Luanli was holding a steelyard and weighing things everywhere.
Everything from bronze mirrors, combs, and bowls to large military rations, weapons, battleships, etc. are all missing.
Chu Xisheng was also happy for Lu Luanli, but when he put down the letter, he frowned again.
The smooth flow of the past month and a half did not make him relax.
As time went by, Chu Xisheng's doubts gradually deepened.
It's just because he hasn't found the 'ghost' He Qi until now.
If it weren't for Chu Yunyun's letter confirming that the Nishen flag was still near Xiushui County and there was no news in the world, he would have almost thought that He Qi was dead.
However, until now, He Qi has not contacted him again.
What does this person want?
If you are dissatisfied with his price, then you should continue to contact and bargain.
If he deliberately set up a trap and used Nishen's flag as a bait to get him into danger, it shouldn't be silent.
Just when Chu Xisheng was extremely confused and suspicious about this, the chief helmsman of the Iron Flag Gang had an unexpected guest.
That very night, a white figure quietly broke through the many legal restrictions imposed by the chief helmsman and drove straight in to Chu Xisheng's door.
Chu Xisheng was not suddenly shocked until this person flew to the inner courtyard of the main rudder.
When he came to the door and saw the beautiful woman in the courtyard who was wearing a white dress, had a sassy temperament, and looked slightly similar to Wenzhaoyi, his eyebrows suddenly raised: "Are you the eldest grandson Ruolan?"
The visitor turned out to be the second princess of the Far East Ice City, the eldest grandson of the Ice City Wind Sword, Ruolan.
After the eldest grandson Ruolan stood still, he also glanced at Chu Xisheng up and down, and then he clasped his fists with a cold face: "The eldest grandson Ruolan has seen Daojun! Ruolan is following her mother's order to send some items to Daojun."
Chu Xisheng was stunned when she heard this, and asked Zhuoyi what she had, and asked her daughter to send it over.
Then he became calm and put away his distracting thoughts.
Changsun Ruolan suddenly grasped the sword at his waist. A slight breeze surrounded him, and a sharp sword intent locked Chu Xisheng from the distance.
"But before that, Ruo Lan would like to ask you about your sword skills. Please pay attention, Lord Sword Master!"
Just when the last word was spoken, a bolt of sword light shone in front of Chu Xisheng's eyes.
