Outside the north gate of Fengtai County, Huizhou, in the camp of Ice City in the far east.
When Changsun Bingquan was dragging his exhausted body after the battle on the way back, he heard the discussions of nearby soldiers.
"——The recent incident. Have you heard about it?"
"But about the city master's marriage to Lord Wuji Sword? This must be a lie, right? It's nonsense. Do you take it seriously?"
[In view of the general environment,
"There's no smoke without fire. This rumor spreads like wildfire. And I heard that Bingcheng is already quarreling over this matter. It's said that many ministers have written letters to try to make this happen."
"Really or not? But if the marriage is really true, it will be a good thing for me, Bingcheng. Lord Wuji Sword can defeat thousands of armies, and the city lord is invincible. The court will definitely not be able to resist it, and our army will not be trapped here. "
"What a treason! What kind of marriage! Where do you put the young city lord? Where do you put the two princesses?"
As the heavily armored general reprimanded him, the people around him had different expressions.
Some people looked solemn, some were convinced, some looked scornful, and some even rebutted directly.
"Young City Lord? I don't know of any Young City Lord. Which decree in the city has designated him?"
"What kind of young city lord does that young man of unknown origin make you?"
"Marriage is treason? What a joke! The empire of Bingcheng was carved out by the city lord and our ancestors with swords. What does it have to do with the Changsun family?"
Changsun Bingquan seemed indifferent and unmoved.
The nails of his hands were dug deeply into his flesh, and a fire surged in his chest.
He continued to move forward, but sounds from around him still reached his ears from time to time.
"Master Wuji Sword? I have heard about his deeds. It is said that he is a man of great integrity and majesty. The city lord has been alone for hundreds of years. It would be really good if he can find such a good match."
"It is said that Chu Xisheng is the direct descendant of the Chu family in the west of Beijing. He is the direct son of a noble family and has the Wuxiang Divine Sect behind him. Moreover, with his fourth-grade cultivation, his combat prowess has already reached the top of the Heavenly Ranking. He has a promising future and is worthy of City Lord."
"With the marriage between our two families, the Ning Dynasty will be destroyed within this year! Then, wouldn't it be nice if we all get promoted and become rich together?"
"But what should the Changsun family do?"
"The Changsun family is the remnant of the Zhenhai Kingdom. What happened to our ancestors in the past by that country's leader? It is said that this person colluded with demons, so he summoned all the major divine sects to target him. He brought it upon himself. That Wuji Sword Master will be the city lord, and he will be better than Changsun. That young guy in military power is much stronger."
"It is indeed too strong. He started from scratch and built a huge foundation. It is said that he has more than a dozen people under his command."
Changsun Bingquan had a cold face and walked forward like a wooden man. Until he entered his tent, he seemed to be deflated and relaxed.
Then he roared angrily, pulled out his knife and slashed wildly in all directions, smashing the bed and furniture in the tent to pieces.
In the end, Changsun Bingquan crawled like a wild beast again, putting his hands on the ground and breathing heavily.
His eyes were full of unwillingness, anger and murderous intent.
At this moment, a figure appeared in the tent.
He was a gray-haired old man, dressed as a civil servant. He glanced around and then frowned.
"Your Highness?"
"I made you laugh!"
Changsun Bingquan stood up, smiled bitterly, and arranged his clothes.
"I really want to control all the gossip in the camp, but I don't have this city."
"Your Highness is young and energetic, and it is inevitable that you will not be able to bear those gossips."
Right Prime Minister Gui Haoyuan nodded in understanding.
At Changsun Bingquan's age, he has persisted in such a situation without losing his composure until now. This perseverance and character are already very good.
"Please, Your Highness, be patient for a while longer and never ruin your future."
Gui Haoyuan said with a solemn expression: "Although the evil wind inside Ice City is strong now, it can't blow it down. People's hearts are still with the Changsun family and His Highness."
Changsun Bingquan refused to believe it.
He thought about the discussions among the soldiers, most of whom were in favor of marriage.
Changsun Bingquan was very calm on his face: "Excuse me, Prime Minister, how powerful is this demonic wind?"
Right Prime Minister Gui Haoyuan's breath suddenly suffocated.
"Recently, the royal court has been debating endlessly. However, the city lord has not expressed his position and is unwilling to respond to the marriage discussion. He is not even allowed to talk about it in the discussion. After all the documents related to the marriage were handed over to the palace, they were like nothing. Any news."
Gui Haoyuan considered his words: "It can be seen that His Highness the City Lord does not take this marriage seriously."
Changsun Bingquan was noncommittal on the face, but in his heart he thought that the city lord was more likely to be shy and unable to directly accept the offer if he was moved.
"——Those who are speaking now are those with louder voices, so they seem to be quite powerful. However, the vast majority of people in Bingcheng support my eldest grandson's family. They just don't say anything."
Gui Haoyuan paused and said, "Young City Master, don't worry, as long as I am in the court, I will not allow this marriage proposal to succeed."
"Thank you, Prime Minister!"
Changsun Bingquan sighed with a desolate expression, "I know the ability of the Right Prime Minister, but now I'm thinking, why do I appear in this world? What's the point?"
He has neither father nor mother, and is a life created by people like Gui Haoyuan using the method of "mediating creation".
The purpose of these people creating him was to inherit Ice City and pass on the bloodline of the eldest grandson family.
Gui Haoyuan was slightly moved when he heard this, and said with a solemn expression: "Young City Master, please be patient! The latest news I received is that Chu Xisheng is preparing to go north to Bingzhou to break through to the fourth level. This matter has spread, causing commotion in the world. Chu Xisheng is suicidal, and he should not survive three days."
His voice was as cold as ice: "In recent days, the old members of the Changsun family and I have been planning a major event. Once this is successful, His Highness will not only be able to become a first-class person quickly and join the high-ranking list, but also be recognized by the city lord. heir."
Changsun Bingquan was stunned when he heard this, and then narrowed his eyes.
What big thing are Gui Haoyuan and these people planning? Judging from his tone, he sounded confident.
And a quick fix? In this world, there are extremely limited ways to achieve a quick success.
If you want to avoid future troubles, complete the higher secret rituals of the heavens at the same time, and have powerful combat power at the high level of the heaven rankings, it is unique.

At the same time, Dugu Shou, the Grand Master "Seventh Generation Shangfu" who was escaping to the north, was blocked by Yu Kunlun, the Imperial Master "Shu Dingshanhe".
Dugu Shou frowned, looking unhappy: "Get out of the way!"
As soon as he had a thought, all the power followed him, and the whole world around him trembled, including Yu Kunlun's body.
"Master, please calm down your thunderous rage."
Yu Kunlun smiled bitterly. He made a hand seal and forcibly calmed down the turbulent energy and blood in his body: "The biggest enemy of our dynasty at present is Jidong Bingcheng, not Chu Xisheng and Wuxiang Shenzong. You want to kill Chu Xisheng and Ji Qianqian can enforce the law of the country, but they must do so after annihilating Jidong Bingcheng.
Yu Kunlun's expression was solemn and his voice was sincere: "Grand Master, Chu Xisheng has many masters around him, and the Wuxiang Divine Sect is extremely powerful. Regardless of whether Grand Master's trip to Bingzhou is successful or not, it will bring great trouble to our court. And fighting on two fronts is definitely not a wise move.”
Dugu Shou looked indifferent and said in a more serious tone: "Get out of my way!"
He had long been dissatisfied with the Imperial Preceptor Yu Kunlun, but he respected the Imperial Preceptor's strength and was unwilling to fight Yu Kunlun before going north.
Dugu kept his eyes like a steel knife and looked at Yu Kunlun: "Those like Chu Xisheng who regard the national law as trivial and murder the princesses of the imperial court and the soldiers of Daning, how can we let it go? The only way is to bring them to justice as soon as possible. Only the law can shock the world."
"Chu Xisheng is naturally a very vicious person, but things have to be prioritized."
Yu Kunlun shook his head and refused to give in: "The grand master asked you whether you can fight with Ji after killing Chu Xisheng.
During the battle in Dongbing City, can you withstand the revenge of Wuxiang Shenzong and his subordinates?"
Dugu Shou heard the words and sneered: "You have to hold on even if you can't hold on, otherwise where is the majesty of the court and where is the king's law? Things have priorities, but what is slow and what is urgent, you and the emperor always put the cart before the horse.
If the imperial court loses its legal system, it means that it loses its legal authority. If the legal system does not exist, everyone in the world can despise the emperor, despise the Daning government, and regard the "Da Ning Code" as a piece of paper. "
Yu Kunlun's brows furrowed: "The Grand Master kept saying the truth, but what happened to this girl Ji Qianqian? As far as I know, the number one on the blacklist, the imperial prisoner who shot and wounded the Emperor, was the Grand Master. Raised with one hand."
Dugu Shou put his hands behind his back: "The death of the Ji family in the past was the result of the emperor's punishment for his innocence. I can't stop it and feel guilty. How can I let the blood of the Ji family disappear?"
He looked unconcerned, but there was a hint of confusion in his eyes.
Dugu Shou never expected that Ji Qianqian could recover his memory and shoot the emperor.
Theoretically, the suppressive power he left in Ji Qianqian's mind was enough to ensure that Ji Qianqian would not be able to awaken his memory until he reached the first level of cultivation.
"I'm very surprised. The grand master didn't regard Chu Xisheng as a mortal enemy before, but now he wants to get rid of him. Is this not just because he broke the king's law?"
There was a dim light in Yu Kunlun's eyes that was uncertain: "But it has something to do with the twelve dragon gods on Chu Xisheng's body?"
No matter how strong Chu Xi's voice was in the past, it would not endanger Daning's imperial tradition.
If Emperor Jianyuan doesn't work, then another emperor will do it.
The Seventh Generation Shangfu passed through nine generations of emperors, and was honored as Shangfu by seven of the emperors. He had long ago not cared about who was sitting on the throne, but only cared about the inheritance of Daning's country and imperial tradition.
However, Chu Xisheng, who possesses the Twelve Dragon Gods' Heavenly Guard, is already able to threaten Daning's society.
Dugu Shou raised his thick eyebrows and glanced at the other person with admiration: "Yes! Not quite! This person is extremely talented. If we don't get rid of him as soon as possible, he will become a big trouble for our country and endanger the rule sooner or later."
Compared to Jidong Ice City, which was unable to sustain its strength, he did not want to see a Wuji Sword Lord who could suppress the world with one person in the future.
Yu Kunlun thought that if His Majesty heard the Grand Master's words, he might not know whether he should be angry or relieved.
"This is absolutely impossible!" He lowered his eyebrows: "Chu Xisheng's survival is definitely not a matter of Daning's family. Your Majesty and I have other plans for this matter, and I dare to guarantee it with my life. Chu Xisheng will definitely not live for more than a year. , and will even die within a few days! The imperial court has already suffered heavy losses for this son, so there is no need to get involved personally."
Dugu Shou couldn't help but said "Huh" and looked at Yu Kunlun with an unexpected expression.
Guaranteeing it with your life is a very heavy oath.
※※※※
Chu Xisheng drove the sun-bathing boat and stopped near the Wuxiang Mountain for three hours.
Three hours later, Jian Zangfeng, Zong Sanping, Ren Xiaowo, Ye Zhiqiu, Lu Luanli and Chu Yunyun boarded their ship together.
Gu Mingyue and Feng Liancheng looked at each other and thought that this was indeed the case.
This person actually lurked here and chose to board the boat on the Wuxiang Sacred Mountain.
Chu Xisheng's trip north was indeed a trap.
The trump card that the flag owner brought out was Chu Yunyun - the former overlord Qin Muge!
At this time, they could no longer deliver the news.
Making small moves under Qin Muge's eyes. That was the old birthday girl hanging himself - tired of living.
But everyone didn't take it to heart.
It would also be a great gain if we could test out how much strength Qin Muge had recovered this time.
What's more, Qin Muge may not be able to hold on alone.
Chu Xisheng was so sharp in Qianshi Mountain, so sharp that even some gods could not stand it.
This Wuji Sword Lord is blindly ignorant of his enemies.
Chu Xisheng didn't know how many forces and masters were targeting him this time.
As for the accompanying Jian Zangfeng and others, Gu Mingyue and others didn't care.
These saints of the Wuxiang Divine Sect are all very powerful.
Corona
Compared with the masters who were preparing to surround and kill Chu Xisheng, they were simply too weak to be worth mentioning.
For these people, traveling with Chu Xisheng was no different than sending them to death.
If Qin Muge loses, then this battle will also ruin the future of the Wuxiang Divine Sect.
What surprised Gu Mingyue and the others was that beside these disciples of the Wuxiang Shen Sect, there was a burly Angzang man.
The lowest of them is one foot or four feet tall, and the six of them occupy a large area of Yuri Shenzhou.
These tower-like men were covered in magic weapon-level black clothes, which not only made it difficult to see their faces, but also prevented them from discerning their reality.
Several people were puzzled.
Could these people be members of the Gaoshan tribe, or descendants of a certain Jiuli tribe?
In the past, under the leadership of the first generation of holy emperors "Huang Xi" and "Feng Hou", the human race moved south to China and split into dozens of tribes. It was not until the era of Emperor Xuanhuang that the first unification was completed.
At that time, the Jiuli tribe controlled by Li Tan was the biggest opponent of Emperor Xuanhuang.
After Emperor Xuanhuang killed Li Tan and conquered Jiuli, many people in the Jiuli tribe did not surrender. They either scattered back to the mountains or hid in the mountains. There are still a large number of branches existing in the southern border area of 100,000 miles southwest.
Due to their living environment and bloodline, their bodies are generally extremely tall.
The Gaoshan tribe is also a branch of the Jiuli tribe, but their ancestral land is in the Tiebi Mountains, and they have now mixed with the human race.
Gu Mingyue couldn't figure out the reason, but she didn't take it seriously.
No matter what happens this time, there will be no damage to the North and South Tianmen.
They didn't send anyone this time. Even if they were caught in a trap, they would die as a Taoist friend rather than a poor Taoist.
When the Sun-Bathering Shenzhou set off again, the Great Master of the Stars, Luohan Sect, began to cast spells to cover up the traces of the Sun-Bathering Shenzhou.
He is also good at arithmetic, which can confuse the heavens and make it impossible for people to deduce their whereabouts.
Gu Mingyue and the others looked at each other again.
Several people secretly accused Chu Xisheng of being cunning and cunning.
This guy is pretending to be the same thing.
He clearly laid a trap to lure the enemy, but he pretended that he didn't want to be found.
At this time, the atmosphere inside the Yuri Shenzhou was extremely strange. Everyone remained silent and did not say a word. There was actually a dead silence on the deck, which was extremely solemn.
Two hours later, Chu Xisheng arrived at the place where the secret medicine given by Tiantingyuan was produced.
They were more than 900 "Xuanling Seven Days Tan" guarded by a group of third-grade "Three-Eyed Snow Deer".
Xuanling Qiritan can only live for seven years, and the flowers bloom for only seven days. After seven days, the flowers will wither and several fruits will condense, which can help demons increase their demon power for twenty years.
The fruit cores will be pulled out by monsters, and they will break out of their shells and grow underground, growing new Xuanling Seven Days Tan.
However, the main ingredient of Wuxiang Gong's secret medicine is the epiphyllum itself. It must be picked before the flowers wither. Moreover, the medicine is most powerful at the moment before they wither.
Therefore, it is difficult to advance to level 4 or above as martial arts practitioners. All the secret medicines they use are to steal food from the mouths of giant spirits and monsters.
Without certain strength or powerful forces, it is impossible to seize the main ingredients of the secret medicine.
The opponent Chu Xisheng faced this time was no small matter. The "Three-Eyed Snow Deer" was the mythical beast Fu Zhu Queen.
This is a water-based mythical beast. It looks like a white deer with four horns. When you see it, there will be great floods in the city.
The "Three-Eyed Snow Deer" is a subspecies of mythical beast with a distant bloodline and good combat power.
The key point is that this is not one person, but a group of more than thirty in total, including one of the second grade.
This is the old enemy of the Wuxiang Divine Sect. The disciples of the Wuxiang Divine Sect have snatched Epiphyllum from their hands countless times. So when they met, they became jealous, and immediately rushed towards Chu Xisheng and others in groups.
But this time they hit the iron plate.
Although these thirty or so three-eyed snow deer were terrifying in appearance, they were nothing compared to the lineup brought by Chu Xisheng.
Chu Xisheng easily suppressed it by himself without even relying on the help of others.
He did not hurt the deer, but used his divine will to touch the death knife to hold it firmly in place, unable to move.
Although these "three-eyed snow deer" are dangerous and powerful enemies for Wuxiang Sect disciples to seize the secret medicine, they are also excellent guards of this "Xuanling Seven-Day Cloud".
Chu Xisheng then waited here for a long time and got two seven-day tan flowers that bloomed only two hours apart.
The main ingredients of the fourth-grade secret medicine cannot be stored for a long time. Even if a special magic weapon is used, the ultimate medicinal effect can be maintained for a day at most.
So after he picked them, he made a secret medicine one by one and took it with Xiao Pingtou.
When Gu Mingyue and Ba Tian came, Feng Liancheng and Xiao Kuanglong saw this scene, and they were so surprised that they could hardly contain themselves.
——This guy is actually stupid enough to take the secret medicine first!
——This idiot is so confident!
Although most disciples of the Wuxiang Shen Sect do this, they take the secret medicine first, and then complete the secret rituals of the heavens at the same time within three days after the secret medicine takes effect, so as to maximize the benefits.
The question is, how can Chu Xisheng be the same as other people?
Once Chu Xisheng takes the secret medicine, the process cannot be terminated.
If Chu Xisheng is unable to complete the Mysteries of the Heavens in the Phaseless Technique, even though he can be promoted, his Phaseless Technique will definitely have huge flaws, the foundation will be insufficient, and the power will be greatly reduced!
Just when Gu Mingyue and the others suppressed their joy.
Chu Xisheng was experiencing the chaotic way of heaven.
Why do disciples of the Wuxiang Divine Sect generally choose to complete the secret rituals of the heavens after taking the secret medicine?
This is because the effect of the secret medicine can make their spiritual consciousness extra sharp, their thoughts become extra lively, and their understanding will be greatly improved during this period, helping them understand the laws of heaven.
They use the secret medicine to improve their understanding, and with the help of the secret rituals of the heavens, their consciousness is deeply integrated into the heavenly rules. The secret medicine and the secret ritual achieve each other, greatly improving their martial arts attainments.
In addition, it also has the effect of stimulating the power of blood.
Chu Xisheng didn't need to do this.
He controls the Iron Banner Gang. As long as the Iron Banner Gang does not collapse, it means that he is always in the midst of the secret rituals of the heavens.
After a moment, Chu Xisheng's lips raised slightly.
"Let's go to the Land of Chaos!"
He took control of the Sun-Bathing Divine Boat and flew to the next destination.
Generally speaking, the place of chaos where the secret ritual is completed is not too far from the place where the secret medicine is collected.
This is convenient for rushing. Don't wait for the medicine to wear off and you won't be able to reach the end of the land.
However, Chu Xisheng has a divine boat that bathes in the sun and travels more than 100,000 miles a day. He flew the boat three thousand miles away before landing in the air. Then he led everyone into a cave in a big mountain.
The corridors in this cave extend in all directions, and the surrounding mountains are made of black black iron stone, which is extremely solid.
Several people discovered that there seemed to be extremely profound intellectual barriers here.
With the powerful cultivation of Ba Tianlai and others, they were confused several times.
However, Chu Xisheng seemed to be extremely familiar with this place, and he was not affected by the obstacles of seeing and knowing. He led everyone to the depths of thousands of feet underground with ease.
There is an extremely wide and huge space here, with a length and width of up to a thousand feet.
"This is it!"
Chu Xisheng looked down at a stone altar with a diameter of three hundred feet and three floors, with a strange luster in his eyes.
"This is~" Ba Tianlaiyou looked around, he made a loud sound and said with confusion: "Flag Master, there seems to be no land of chaos here?"
Could it be that the Wuxiang Divine Sect got the information wrong?
And this place is weird.
"No, there is none." Chu Xisheng smiled slightly: "I didn't come here to complete the secret ritual."
Ba Tianlai frowned and was about to ask what happened.
Laughing Kuanglong suddenly said: "It seems that the flag master has been promoted to the fourth level? Have you already completed the secret ritual of the Wuxiang Gong?"
He has a unique talent, and he has already sensed the changes in Chu Xisheng's and that little Yaizhen's energy.
Laughing Dragon
After saying this, Na Ba Tian came, Gu Mingyue and Feng Liancheng all trembled.
Their eyes were blank.
When did Chu Xisheng complete the secret ritual of Wuxiang Gong?
They have been keeping a close eye on it recently.
Chu Xisheng turned his head and glanced at Xiao Kuanglong, then laughed dumbly and threw the four scrolls out: "You guys sign this divine contract! It's not that I can't trust you. This operation is of great importance and cannot be leaked. A little bit of news."
Laughing Kuanglong took the scroll and took a look at it, and found that the content was very simple, that is, it could not reveal in any way all their whereabouts and experiences since October 16th, when they accompanied Chu Xisheng to the north, until two months later.
Laughing Kuanglong frowned, then simply signed his name and fingerprinted it.
Qin Muge was right beside them, locking the spirits of the four of them with cold and murderous intent.
Laughing Kuanglong and others have no choice at all!
If you don't sign, you will definitely die!
Chu Xisheng continued to look at the huge stone altar that occupied a huge area below.
"Everyone, do you know where this place is? Why am I here?"
The four people's expressions changed, and they followed Chu Xisheng with doubts in their eyes.
At this time, Gu Mingyue suddenly thought of something, and Tong Kong slightly retracted: "Is this the Taixu Formation Altar entering Taiweiyuan?"
This so-called promotion to the fourth level and completion of the secret ceremony is actually a deception!
Chu Xisheng couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips slightly.
