The human master who walked out of the shadows looked middle-aged, but his body had clear lines and bulging muscles. Even from a distance, you could feel the courageous spirit emanating from him.
"It's not easy!"
Looking at the middle-aged man who suddenly appeared, Jiang Chen was a little shocked. The person coming was from the human race, and there was no doubt that he was a quasi-saint-level expert.
As for who it was, Jiang Chen didn't know who it was, but he could tell that he was by no means a simple person.
It is not surprising that a quasi-sage strongman from the human race comes forward. What is really surprising is that this master from the human race practices martial arts, not ancient martial arts, but contemporary martial arts. This is very shocking.
The contemporary martial arts began in the early days of ancient times. It was developed by the ancestor of the Jiang family, Chengtian Taoist Master Jiang Xuan, who joined forces with Dayu to combine the essence of ancient martial arts with the way of humans and immortals.
In other words, the history of martial arts in this world is not very long. It just went through an ancient era. It is not as long as ancient martial arts. To put it simply, it lacks foundation.
In an era, to be able to cultivate into an innate Taoist Master in such a short period of time can be said to be an unparalleled talent. As for cultivating a quasi-sage, that is simply a legend, a myth among myths.
The ancient era is not the ancient era. The prehistoric world was at its peak. Although it was difficult to cultivate to become an innate Taoist at that time, it was definitely many times easier than it is now. The further you go, the more difficult it becomes to practice Taoism.
It was not easy to become a quasi-sage in the ancient times, let alone in ancient times and now. It can be said that from ancient times to the present, the number of innate Taoist beings born in heaven and earth is countless, let alone quasi-sages.
But now, the person who appeared in front of Jiang Chen only spent an era to cultivate from an ordinary human to the realm of quasi-sage. This is simply a living myth.
With this talent, if Jiang Chen hadn't been born out of nowhere, this person would have been the number one in the human race since ancient times!
…
"Human Race Xu!"
"After Chengtian, the human race has become another genius, a true master of martial arts."
"There are so many talented people in the human race!"
Jiang Chen couldn't recognize the person's specific identity, but the great masters who were secretly paying attention to this battle were all well-informed people. There were even many masters who had dealt with this person. The moment they saw him, they Recognized his identity.
Warm!
The master of martial arts!
One of the most amazing human races in ancient times. He is not a human king, but his combat power is comparable to that of a human king. Some warriors even respect him as a martial master and the supreme master of martial arts!
In ancient times, it was really the most glorious era for the human race. Geniuses emerged one after another, suppressing all races and composing one legend after another.
…
"Who are you?"
Staring at the visitor, Jiang Chen asked doubtfully. Being from the same human race, his attitude has softened a lot.
"Xu!"
The visitor nodded and said his name. It was just one word, "Xu", which was very consistent with the naming characteristics of ancient times. In ancient times, many people had single-character names, named after natural phenomena or all things.
Such as wind, rain, thunder and lightning, earth, volcanoes and swamps...
"Xu?"
"Master of the Martial Palace, Xu?"
Jiang Chen understood clearly and knew the origin of the other party, and at the same time, his attitude became cold.
Master Xu of the Martial Hall was born in the early days of ancient times, before the founding of the Xia Dynasty. He practiced martial arts since he was a child, and it took him 100,000 years to cultivate to become an innate Taoist, and a million years to cultivate to become a quasi-sage.
After the end of the ancient times, changes occurred in the human race. The high-level officials established various palaces to rule the human race. Xu was elected as the master of the Martial Palace by a group of warriors, and became the leader of the human race.
There is no doubt that Xu is very outstanding and very dazzling. Looking at the entire human race, there are very few people who can compare with him.
However, his excellence cannot hide the fact that his position is problematic. Like the master of the Dharma Palace, he is a nail planted by Xuanmen in the human race. This is also the reason why Jiang Chen's attitude towards him suddenly became cold.
If nothing else, they are destined to have a hostile relationship. And Xu's appearance this time was most likely to cause trouble for Jiang Chen.
"Isn't the Master of the Martial Palace in seclusion to comprehend the ways of immortality and ignore worldly affairs? Why did he suddenly show up today?"
After knowing the identity of the other party, Jiang Chen began to mock unceremoniously.
Yes, the way of human immortality. After becoming the master of the Martial Palace, Xu has been doing one thing, which is to study the way of human immortality with all his heart, so that he can turn martial arts into immortals, and transform the human martial arts into the way of Xuanmen human immortality.
It sounds incredible. Can different Tao transform into each other? In fact, this matter is very feasible, because part of the foundation of martial arts is established on the basis of the way of human beings and immortals.
To a certain extent, martial arts is a variant of the ancient martial arts and the way of immortals. As long as it evolves in one direction, it can indeed transform into the ancient martial arts or the way of immortals.
Xuanmen's layout for the human race can no longer be described as far-reaching. It is simply omnipresent. It can be said that except for the ancient martial arts, it penetrates into all aspects.
"The Human King is too harsh on my people. Even I, who was in seclusion, was alarmed and couldn't stand it any longer, so I had to step forward to admonish the Human King."
Xu showed an unbearable look, as if Jiang Chen had really done something outrageous.
"Haha, are you harsh on your clan members?" Jiang Chen sneered. Instead of arguing with Xu on this topic, he changed the topic and asked, "I wonder if the palace master has obtained approval from the Fire Cloud Cave for this trip. ?”
As soon as Jiang Chen said these words, an unnatural look flashed across Xu's face, but it quickly disappeared.
You need to get approval from Huoyun Cave to leave the seclusion. There is obviously a problem here. Normal people don't get this treatment. They can leave the seclusion whenever they want.
Normal people don't get this kind of treatment, but not him. He is a very special person, so he has received special attention from Huoyundong. He respects the orders of the human race and cannot come out, ignoring the facts.
Well, Xu's retreat is mandatory. Although he is the master of the Martial Palace, in fact, he no longer has any rights in the Martial Palace. In a sense, Xu's seclusion was a disguised form of house arrest for him by the higher-ups of the human race.
The reason for this is naturally because this guy not only wants to become Xuanmen's dog, but also wants to lead the entire human race to become Xuanmen's dog.
Such an act of intrusion undoubtedly angered the top leaders of the human race, who directly forced him into seclusion, which was equivalent to putting him under house arrest in disguise.
To be honest, if Xu's identity wasn't so special, he would have died unexpectedly long ago.
As for why Xu was determined to serve Xuanmen, even at the cost of giving up his lofty status in the human race, Jiang Chen understood this.
The reason is very simple, because everything he has today was given to him by Xuanmen. He can become an innate Taoist master within a hundred thousand years and a quasi-sage within a million years because Xuanmen secretly supports him.
Otherwise, how could Xu rise so quickly if he was just an ordinary human being?
No matter how good the talent is, there must be a limit. The upper limit of the human race is there. Talent cannot surpass the innate gods and demons, let alone the innate saints. It is impossible to rise quickly without a large accumulation of resources.
Everything that Xu has is given by Xuanmen, how can he not serve Xuanmen to the best of his ability? He had no choice.
Many people understand his choice, but understanding is understanding. It is a matter of stance and cannot be shaken. Since he has harmed the interests of the human race, we cannot blame the human race for being cruel to him.
There is no right or wrong in terms of stance. My hero is the enemy and the enemy is the enemy.
As for why the Master of the Dharma Palace, who was also supported by Xuanmen, could hold a high position and live freely, while the Master of the Wudian Palace, Xu, was put under house arrest by the human race in disguise. This can only be said that the Master of the Wudian Palace was too eager. , was caught in pain by the top human race.
In the name of hiding one's strength and biding one's time, the master of the Dharma Palace secretly weakens the strength of the human race. It is difficult to be caught, because his banner is indeed fine, and keeping a low profile is indeed a good strategy.
But Xu was different. He performed well in the early stage without showing any flaws, and he really became the mainstay of the human race. But later, after he became the master of the Martial Palace, he showed his flaws because he acted too eagerly.
Xu was elected as the master of the Martial Hall by all the warriors of the human race, and his prestige was quite high. It can be said that at that time, the Martial Hall was his one-stop shop.
Therefore, he gradually drifted away. Soon after becoming the master of the Martial Palace, he began to secretly train his confidants and teach them the way of human immortality, trying to turn martial arts into immortals.
It can only be said that Xu is really lost. The ancestor of martial arts is not dead yet, and you start to dig up the foundation of martial arts. You really think that Jiang Xuan is deaf or blind and can't feel anything, right?
Not long after Xu's plan to transform martial arts into immortals was started, Jiang Xuan sensed it.
Then, there is no more.
The quasi-sage of the human race came to the Martial Palace, and used several human treasures to force the master of the Martial Palace, Xu, into seclusion and put him under house arrest in disguise. Then, a large-scale purge was launched in the Martial Palace. All warriors who practiced the way of human immortals, Everything has been cleaned up.
"I don't have to worry about my affairs. After this matter is over, I will explain the reason to Huoyundong. I am here today just to discuss with you the harsh treatment of my clan members."
"If you want to kill people from all clans, you will kill them. But how can you be cruel to people from your own clan next time?"
"King, do you know that in just a moment of your thoughts, how many masters of our human race have died tragically, how many people of our race have lost their relatives, and how many aristocratic families have lost their pillars?"
Xu had no expression on his face and said to Jiang Chen in a sad and angry tone.
Sneaking out during house arrest is not a trivial matter, especially since his identity is still very sensitive. I am afraid that after this, his "retreat" will be transferred from his cave to Huoyun Cave.
In other words, if he enters the Fire Cloud Cave, he may never come out for the rest of his life. He will go from house arrest in disguise to jail...
Therefore, he emphasized that it was Jiang Chen who committed the unjust act first, so that even he, who was under house arrest, could not stand it anymore and had to step forward to stop Jiang Chen's brutal behavior.
Xu tried his best to make his actions more righteous, so as to weaken his guilt. After all, he was actually under house arrest, but nominally in seclusion. Since he is in seclusion, isn't it normal for him to come out of seclusion?
"Palace Master, that's enough!"
"Is Gu the human king, or are you the human king? I don't need you to teach me how to govern the human race. If you feel that Gu is treating the clansmen harshly, that's easy to do. The Fire Cloud Cave is in Tianwaitian, and your majesties also They are all in seclusion there, you can definitely go there to be orphaned!"
"As long as you can invite the decrees of the Three Emperors or the Five Emperors, you can deal with Gu in any way you want."
Jiang Chen had already expected this scene and retorted unceremoniously.
When he committed the murder, he knew that someone within the human race would definitely accuse him of this matter, but Jiang Chen did not expect that this person would be the Lord of the Martial Palace, Xu.
However, it doesn’t matter who it is, it doesn’t affect the overall situation.
He was the one who was responsible for this matter. The King of Humans killed a few disobedient people to establish his authority. Even if the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors came, they could only say that Jiang Chen did a good job instead of blaming him.
Therefore, Jiang Chen acted extremely arrogantly. If you don't accept it, go to Fire Cloud Cave and sue me. If you can win, you will be considered powerful.
"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot. With the current status of the palace master, I'm afraid he wouldn't dare to go to the Fire Cloud Cave."
Without waiting for the Master of the Martial Palace to reply, Jiang Chen suddenly looked like he had suddenly realized something and added a sentence with a smile.
This is very interesting. As a high-ranking member of the human race, there is nothing wrong with him. Why don't he dare to go to the Fire Cloud Cave? Jiang Chen's words were simply pointing at Xu's nose, saying that there was something wrong with his position.
"you……"
In an instant, Xu's expression changed. He pointed at Jiang Chen and cursed: "In ancient times, I have seen many human kings, but this is the first time I have seen one as arrogant as you. Do you think you are a human king?" , is there nothing I can do against you?"
"The human king rules the world with virtue. A tyrannical king like you is destined to not last long. To prevent you from causing trouble to the human race, let me capture you first and take you back to the Fire Cloud Cave to wait for your majesties to attack."
Xu also knew that there was something wrong with his identity, and many of his words were untenable, and it was impossible to speak against Jiang Chen. Therefore, he stopped talking nonsense and was ready to take action directly.
Although he is a late-stage quasi-sage, he has the luck of being a human immortal and part of the human race, and his combat power cannot be judged by common sense, so he may not lose to Jiang Chen.
"Yes, Fellow Daoist Xu is right. Jiang Chen, you are a tyrant. Now, many tribesmen have rushed to the ancestral land to sue you..."
The Master of the Dharma Palace appeared at the right time and wanted to join forces with the Master of the Martial Palace to capture Jiang Chen first. As long as they take down Jiang Chen, they can turn their passivity into initiative. Once they have the initiative, the next thing will be much easier to handle.
"Um?"
"Anyone else dares to be orphaned?"
"I didn't argue with them. I was just being generous. It's just that they were ungrateful. They dared to sue me. They were really looking for death."
Jiang Chen did not feel any surprise at the arrival of the Master of the Dharma Hall, but was shocked by the news he brought.
Did he really not expect that those aristocratic families would be so courageous that they would dare to sue him?
What does it mean to commit trouble, what does it mean to live and die without mercy, this is it!
