His eyes were full of unwillingness. No matter how much he calculated, he never expected that he, the strongest demon saint of the Red Dark Blood Tiger Clan, would be treated as a pawn!
He was really unwilling and tried his best to resist.
However, there is no rare treasure like the Altar of Luck in the depths of his consciousness, and he cannot destroy the remnant soul of the demon god at all. He can only watch his demon soul transform step by step.
In fact, after being destroyed by the Altar of Luck and the powerful sword of the immortal shadow in Shushan, the black vertical eye has reached a very weak moment.
If he hadn't possessed Soul Eater and attacked unexpectedly, it would have been difficult to snatch away a peerless demon saint.
But now, it's too late to say anything.
Soul Eater's low roar was just an angry curse, just like the previous Linshan Demon Saint and Nine Spider Demon Saint. It must be said that this is a very ironic thing.
He treated the Nine Spiders as chess pieces and sacrificed Linshan to the Demon Emperor Bell. Even at the last moment, he did not escape the clutches of the black vertical eyes.
"Damn. Damn"
Soul Eater kept roaring, but the clarity in his eyes gradually decreased. Within a moment, the will of the Soul Eater Demon Saint was wiped out, and instead, the demon soul was shrouded in black energy.
At the same time, a black mysterious line also appeared on the eyebrows of his real body, the Red Dark Blood Tiger.
The monster body stopped struggling, and with a flash of light, it transformed into a human form, but its red eyes were a little different from before. 'Soul Eater' moved its neck, a faint evil smile appeared at the corner of its mouth, and said with a low smile:
"Finally reborn"
"Haha. Soul-eating becomes a thing of the past from today on, my Mo Ying!"
Turning around, Mo Ying looked up in the direction of Shushan. An inexplicable look flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't help but think of the human warrior he saw on the ninth floor of the Demon Suppression Tower.
Although he still doesn't know who his true identity is, for some reason, he always has a feeling that if he doesn't get rid of him, he will become a serious problem for him in the future.
The reason why he abandoned Taoist Lingxu in Shushan before and attacked that person was also based on this idea. If possible, he would naturally not let him go.
Unfortunately, it is almost impossible now.
At least in the short term, this is no longer possible.
Nearly half of the origin of the ninth floor of the Demon Suppression Tower was wiped out, and the swords of the Shushan Immortal also caused heavy damage to him, although he managed to take away the Soul-Eating Demon Saint through some tricks.
But the serious injuries on the demon soul cannot be healed in a short time. If you attack rashly, let alone success, you may die.
Therefore, he can only secretly hate it now.
With a cold snort, Mo Ying said to himself:
"Let you live for one more year. When I have fully recovered, I will come back to settle the accounts with you!"
He didn't think about borrowing the power of the demon clan to deal with that person, not only because he was too seriously injured now, but it might make Tian Lan have other thoughts.
Also because the demon clan is trapped in the southern border, it would be too dangerous to send strong men to take action.
He had personally experienced the power of that supreme treasure. If the demons and gods didn't come, I'm afraid no one would be able to do anything to that powerful human being.
Mo Ying quickly disappeared into the void without hesitating for long.
Shushan.
After the Shushan disciples experienced the initial fear and shock, they began a vigorous reconstruction process under the leadership of the two elders Zhenxu and Yangxu.
And the news that the eight powerful demon saints from the southern Xinjiang demon tribe had stormed Shushan also spread at a very fast speed.
The Demon Suppression Tower is one of the symbols of Shushan, and it is also a symbol of outstanding achievements. Now that it was destroyed, it can actually be rebuilt. However, after Taoist Lingxu weighed it, he still kept it as it was as a warning.
As for the broken Demon Emperor Bell, its spirituality had almost been destroyed. After being refined by him, he placed it directly in the center of the Shushan martial arts arena to serve as a facade.
Destroying the Demon Suppression Tower and breaking the Demon Emperor Bell, no matter how you say it, it is definitely not a loss of status.
After all, this is the treasure of the Chiming Blood Tiger Clan, one of the four major demon clans in southern Xinjiang. It is a genuine immortal weapon that exploded with very powerful power in the battle to conquer medicine five hundred years ago.
The human army suffered heavy casualties, almost ten thousand people were wiped out as soon as the bell rang.
Inside the Tai Chi Hall.
There are four people sitting opposite each other, with white jade futons under them. One is the leader of Shushan, Zhenjun Lingxu, the second is the elder of Shushan, Zhenjun Qingxu, and the three former masters of the sword pavilion, Zhenjun Chongxu.
Under his order, Jiange also mobilized quickly and began to integrate into Shushan.
The three of them are also the three most powerful elders in Shushan today. In terms of status, they are better than Taoist Zhenxu and Taoist Yangxu in the realm of refining gods.
As for the last one, it was Chen Yuan.
Jiang He was severely injured and is now practicing at Shushan Wujian Stone, while Zhao Danqing is temporarily living in the newly built guest building in Shushan.
"General Lingxu has invited me here. What's the important matter?" Chen Yuan glanced at the three Taoist priests in front of him one by one, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Taoist Qingxu and Taoist Chongxu looked at each other, and then turned to the headmaster, Taoist Lingxu. It seemed that he was the one who took the lead in inviting Chen Yuan this time.
Taoist Lingxu seemed to have overcome the sadness of Taoist Shenxu's death, and said calmly:
"Inviting Taoist friends here today, I do have something to say."
"But it doesn't matter."
"First, I would like to thank you for the battle before. Fellow Taoists fought hard for me in Shushan. Pindao and the disciples up and down Shushan will keep it in their hearts and will never forget it."
"The Taoist priest is serious. I have already said it politely before. It is just because I am a human being and I have collected the Demon God Flower. There is no need to keep it on my lips all the time.
Chen was appointed to take charge of the three southern states, and Shuzhou was the top priority. He would also need help from Shushan in the future, so he must not alienate these relationships. "
Long-lasting kindness is hatred, and besides, Chen Yuan doesn't feel that the other party owes him a favor.
"The second thing I want to say is this." Taoist Lingxu nodded slightly, and then suddenly asked:
"Fellow Taoist was born in the Taoist Palace. He caused trouble in the imperial city first and Liangshan later. He has forged an indelible hatred with the imperial court. I would like to ask, what is Mr. Chen's plan? If you believe in Shushan, can you Do you want to inform me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the two True Lords Qingxu and Chongxu also looked at Chen Yuan with serious expressions on their faces, as if they wanted to hear a real answer.
The Tai Chi Hall also fell into silence at this moment.
In fact, Chen Yuan's identity and the imperial court were at odds with each other. Many of the things he did were intolerable to the imperial court. Shushan could actually guess what he wanted to do.
But now, I want to hear what he really thinks.
Chen Yuan's eyelids drooped, his eyes flashed, and he looked at Taoist Lingxu:
"Why did the Taoist Master say this?"
"Haha, I am the one who asked first. As you said, if you believe us, you might as well tell us. If you don't believe me, just pretend that I have not asked."
Taoist Lingxu smiled.
Chen Yuan nodded slightly. From this sentence alone, he had already guessed the purpose of Taoist Lingxu. No wonder he invited the two True Lords Qingxu and Chongxu here.
And this is exactly what he wanted.
After all, if you control Shuzhou, you will inevitably be unable to avoid Shushan.
Being able to make good friends, or even pull him into his own camp, was something he had to do, otherwise, it might bring great hidden dangers, but he didn't expect that Taoist Lingxu would be so eager to invite him.
All kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind, but Chen Yuan's face straightened and he said in a deep voice:
"The Sima family had an unfair country. Since taking control of the Central Plains, they have often had their own tricks. The Jianghu was dissatisfied and the people's livelihood was difficult. Apart from other things, the Northern Barbarians once invaded Liangzhou. The King of Northern Liang led the soldiers and civilians of Liangzhou to fight to the death. The imperial court But he turned a blind eye, deliberately delayed, and tried to weaken Liangzhou's strength, so he is not worthy of being the master of the world!"
"so."
Chen Yuan's words were choked, he stared at the three of them for a moment, and said in a deep voice:
"I want to take it!"
The expressions of the three True Lords remained unchanged, as if they had already anticipated his answer. Taoist Lingxu said:
"Based on Mr. Chen's current strength alone, I'm afraid it's still far behind."
"Not far away." Chen Yuan shook his head:
"A few years ago, Chen was just a small Ping'an County government official, and his cultivation level was no more than skin refining. Now, several years have passed, and Chen has been granted the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Households. His strength is comparable to that of a real king, and he has soldiers under his command. There are more than 100,000 people. If you give me a few more years, does Taoist Master think Chen is not enough?"
It is true that there is little hope of overthrowing the Sima family now, but who can say for sure what will happen in the future?
When he was at Qingyun Temple in the capital, Chen Yuan used this to persuade Taoist Tianxu from Taixu Palace.
Today's words are just a change of soup without changing the medicine. However, sometimes, these are not important, as long as they can be persuaded, it is enough.
"It seems that Mr. Chen is very confident?"
"If he didn't have some self-confidence, Chen wouldn't have made it this far since he was young."
"May I ask Master Chen what his status is in the Taoist Palace?" Taoist Lingxu started to ask about the real purpose, his face was very solemn.
"I think all the Taoist masters have already learned about Jiang He's attitude. As for the other Taoist masters, they have united their minds long ago and will fully support Chen."
"Is this true?"
"It's natural!"
"What about Biyou Palace?"
Taoist Chongxu suddenly spoke.
Taoist Qingxu also looked at him with some scrutiny.
Chen Yuan raised his head and said:
"You have all seen what happened today. Don't you still see something?"
Chen Yuan didn't make it too clear, but sometimes, some attitudes are enough to show everything. The three true masters Lingxu and Qingxu exchanged a look with each other.
It seems to be saying something.
Chen Yuan did not give them much time to chat and continued:
"It's not just Biyou Palace. In fact, Taixu Palace, which has been hidden for many years, has also stated that it will support Chen in the future. Biyou Palace is also tied to Taoist Master Tianxu of Taixu Palace.
To be honest with all Taoist priests, Chen has always been cautious. If he didn’t have some confidence, how could he dare to escape completely now? "
"this"
"Taoist Master Lingxu invited Chen here today and asked about this matter. It's no surprise that he wanted to make a bet in the troubled times. I wonder if Chen can enter Shushan Dharma Eyes?"
Chen Yuan went straight to the point, without giving a few people time to think, and completely restrained Ling Xu and the others.
"Pindao does have this intention." Taoist Lingxu was silent for a moment and nodded slightly.
After this battle, Shushan's vitality was not only severely damaged, but it also suffered a lot. The most important thing is that Shushan has already formed an undying grudge with the demon clan.
There's no telling what might happen and there will be another attack.
At that time, he could not offer a second demon flower as a reward to invite Chen Yuan to take action. Therefore, after seeing the result that Shu Mountain was almost destroyed.
After much thought and discussion with the other four elders, he decided to prepare for Shushan to enter the world.
One is for future development, and the other is hoping to win over a strong ally. The Taoist Palace has extraordinary strength, and Chen Yuan has a righteous name.
Is the most suitable candidate at present.
"Master Chen is kind to Shushan. It stands to reason that he should give his full support. However, Shushan has been inherited for thousands of years. If you are not careful, you may lose everything and ruin your thousand-year foundation. I am really hesitant."
"Since the Taoist Master has said what he said, I won't hide it. Shuzhou is Chen's must-win place and he will never let it go.
All the western part of Shu is in my hands, and the middle part of Shu is nothing more than fish on the pallet. Only the land in the eastern part of Shu is controlled by Shushan. If we cannot become allies, we will have to fight with each other in the future.
It's just that Chen has not been aggressive in his life, and Shushan is an immortal sect in this world, and has made great contributions to the human race. I really don't want to do this, and I hope all fellow Taoists can think about it carefully. "
These words were not only a sign of wooing and showing strength, but also some vague threats. He did not hide it and expressed his attitude directly to them.
In fact, they all knew these things in their hearts, otherwise they would not have been invited today. Therefore, Chen Yuan was sure that they would not be angry because of the threat.
"If Shushan helps Mr. Chen win the world, what will happen in the future?"
Chen Yuan smiled faintly:
"If there really comes a day when Shushan becomes the state religion and enjoys supreme glory, Chen can even make a promise that as long as Shushan does not betray, Shushan will never be destroyed as long as I am with you. In this way, how many of you can rest assured?"
"this"
It has to be said that although Chen Yuan's promises were only verbal, several people were still quite tempted. After all, once it became the state religion, Shushan could even rival Lingshan's status today.
"Master Chen takes over the world just for ambition?"
Taoist Qingxu continued to ask.
Chen Yuan shook his head: "Ambition is one of them. Let me ask, who doesn't covet the position of the Nine-Five Supreme? Chen is just a commoner, so he naturally has this idea, but there are deeper reasons. Jingtai is jealous and will not tolerate me. If I If you don't fight back, you will be killed by him in the future, which is a helpless move.
Other than that, it’s just a wish. "
"What wish?"
Several people looked at Chen Yuan with burning eyes.
Chen Yuan smiled faintly, stood up, turned his back to the three of them, looked into the distance, and said softly:
"May the human race in the Central Plains be peaceful forever, may the turmoil in the world be eliminated from now on, may we be able to build a vast and everlasting country, and may everyone in our human race be like dragons!"
It has to be said that Chen Yuan's coin was very beautiful, and in conjunction with his behavior, he had a sense of determination, which made the three true monarchs of Tai Chi Hall speechless.
Their eyes seemed to light up, and they felt that Chen Yuan's figure at this moment was unusually tall.
Taoist Lingxu never thought that Chen Yuan could actually say such a thing. He didn't know whether it was true or not, but judging from his manner, it didn't look like he was pretending.
"Senior brother."
"Brother Headmaster."
The two Taoists Qingxu and Chongxu turned their attention to Lingxu and nodded at the same time. Obviously, driven by various reasons and coupled with Chen Yuan's current words, they had been touched.
People who can make such remarks make people involuntarily feel a sense of trust. Moreover, investing in Chen Yuan is also the best choice for Shushan now.
Unless he is really useless and has no future, Shushan will bet on him. The only difference is the intensity of the bet.
Shushan had a good relationship with the former Chu royal family. When the dynasty changed, they naturally did not get the maximum benefit. Looking at Lingshan's current status, they naturally also coveted it.
Now, the scene of more than two hundred years ago is repeated again. The world is about to be in chaos, and Shushan must make a choice that completely determines its fate.
"Master Chen has this wish, and Pindao is yearning for it in his heart. If you really raise an army, Shushan will definitely help you. As for the promise just made, Pindao believes that fellow Taoist will not break his promise."
Taoist Lingxu stood up and said in a deep voice.
"With the help of the Immortal Sect of Shushan, Shuzhou can be determined. Chen will act on behalf of the hundreds of millions of people in Shuzhou. Thank you all Taoist priests." Chen Yuan turned around and cupped his hands.
With the addition of another powerful ally, Chen Yuan's current power can be said to have directly expanded. The land in the east of Shu is as fertile as the west of Shu.
Shushan is one of the Immortal Sects with a profound foundation and three sword masters. With their help, Chen Yuan now basically controls the entire Shuzhou.
Even in terms of Huayang's combat power alone, it has far surpassed Liangzhou's Northern Liang King Wei Jinfeng and the scum of the human race, Zhennan King Nangong Lie.
I have the confidence to really flip the table.
A battle in Shushan will definitely not be a loss!
But this is not enough. Not only is his strength still lacking, Nanzhou has not yet attracted the strong dragon of Biyou Palace, so it must expand again.
In Shushan Guest Guest Building, Chen Yuan left the Tai Chi Hall and entered the Guest Guest Building without stopping, and found Zhao Danqing, the headmaster of Biyou Palace, who was closing his eyes and breathing out.
"Headmaster Zhao."
Chen Yuan nodded slightly.
Zhao Danqing personally poured a cup of spiritual tea for Chen Yuan and said with a smile:
"This tea is good. It is a specialty of Biyou Palace. Please try it, Mr. Chen."
"good."
Chen Yuan nodded, picked up the tea cup and took a sip. It was extremely bitter in the mouth, but there was a hint of sweetness in the stomach when swallowed, which was endless aftertaste.
“Good tea.”
"Marquis Wu An came here just to tell the details about the man in black robe, right?" Zhao Danqing said a few words of greeting and then went straight to the topic.
"Yes, Chen is here now precisely for the man in black robe." A murderous intent flashed in Chen Yuan's eyes.
"Appreciate further details."
Zhao Danqing nodded and listened.
"Not long ago, Chen had a chance encounter with the King of Zhennan on the border of southern Xinjiang. The pupil technique he practiced was even more effective in detecting concealment. Today, the man in black robe appeared. With just one glance, Chen could see Out of his identity."
"Master Chen, what you mean is that under the black robe is Zhennan King Nangong Lie?" Zhao Danqing was shocked.
"Exactly!"
