Senior brother Nan Jin, third senior sister Lingyun, and fourth senior brother Han Ye were all puzzled as to why both junior brother and second senior sister felt that King Ning would not keep his promise.
Nan Jin thought for a while and said: "This time King Ning asked the princess to come to discuss the matter in person and asked us Qingyun to take over this task. We Qingyun have no other choice but to accept it. This task is very difficult. Not only do we have to face the blood-maned lion, The dog beast has to face the Lieshanmen, Rising Sun Sect, and Yanxia Cave Sky. They definitely want to complete the task and claim credit in front of King Ning, so even if we can get the core and blood essence of the blood-maned lion dog beast, it will still cost a lot. The price is high, and it may cost a lot of powerful people..."
"Yes." Yi Ling nodded in agreement and said: "In that case, I, Qingyun, will lose my vitality and the top powerhouse will be damaged, which means that the threat to King Ning's overall future will be greatly reduced. In addition, with him The letter promised that with his strength and status, he has no reason to target our Qingyun again."
"According to this analysis, it sounds like this is the truth." Jun Wuxie did not refute this point, but the topic suddenly changed and said: "Elder brother and third senior sister, have you ever thought about it, how dare Prince Ning do it in public? What does it mean to stand up to the emperor?"
"It shows that the strength controlled by Prince Ning is no longer weaker than that controlled by the emperor, so he is not afraid."
Senior Brother Nan Jin responded.
"That's right." Jun Wuxie sighed slightly: "Prince Ning's power is probably stronger than we thought. After all, the current emperor is his father. As a son of a human being, he grew up next to the father of the king of a country. You Do you think the emperor has accumulated prestige in Prince Ning’s heart?”
"this……"
Nan Jin and others were startled, but they had not considered this. After thinking for a while, they said, "It should be possible. After all, the current emperor is a very capable person. He manages the dynasty very well and is decisive in killing. King Ning Being around the emperor since childhood will definitely be affected."
Jun Wuxie looked solemn and said: "So here comes the problem. Prince Ning has been secretly planning development for many years, and he has always been afraid of his father. How can Prince Ning develop and expand his power to such an extent without telling his father? , which is enough to show that this person is very deep in the city and has the ability to strategize. This kind of person must have a thorough plan in his actions, there will never be any negligence or carelessness, and he will never do anything that is uncertain."
"In other words, King Ning dared to completely surface and was not afraid that his father knew that he was planning to usurp the throne. This shows that in King Ning's heart, his power can not only compete with the current emperor, but also have certain advantages. "
"Junior brother's analysis makes sense. This is something we have never thought of before. From this point of view, Prince Ning's power may really be stronger than that of the current emperor."
After thinking about it, Nan Jin, Yi Ling and Han Ye all agreed.
Jun Wuxie looked at them and said: "Prince Ning's power has been stronger than that of the current emperor, but he has not raised his troops yet. There may be many reasons for this, but I think the most important one is probably that he is worried What the people want is the stability of the dynasty."
"Our Qingyun is one of the pillar sects of the Daqian Dynasty. King Ning tried his best to force us Qingyun to surrender. The big reason is probably to stabilize the people's hearts in the future."
"You think, if he raises troops to rebel, if all the four major sects express support and no sect opposes it, and he uses certain means to publicize it, it will be easier for the people of the dynasty to agree with his actions. This way, After he ascends to the throne, the country will be stable and the dynasty will prosper without falling into chaos, and there will be no rebellion against him. Because the four major sects are watching, the rebels have nowhere to hide and it is difficult to hide."
"Our Qingyun is a strategic target for Prince Ning, so he can't give up." Jun Wuxie couldn't help but sneer when he said this: "He just thought that the world would think that with his status, he would not break his promise, even if we Qingyun still have Worry, you still have to fight and fight for that little bit of hope, so this is a conspiracy."
"Firstly, whether it succeeds or not, it will weaken my Qingyun's strength; secondly, when my Qingyun's strength is weakened, my confidence will be weakened and my sense of crisis will be deepened. By then, if he applies pressure again, the effect will be much better , the hope of making Qingyun surrender will be greater."
"What Prince Ning promised is nothing compared to his ambition and grand plans. Therefore, from the perspective of junior brother, we Qingyun have no choice this time. We must go, otherwise we will not be able to pass Prince Ning's test now. But even if it is completed If we fail to complete our mission, the problems we have been facing will still exist, and the situation will become more difficult because of the weakening of our strength."
"If that's the case...what should we do?"
"This is not a problem we should consider." The silent second senior sister Yun Shu said: "If the top leaders of the sect can't solve it, what can we do?"
"Yes." Senior Brother Nan Jin sighed and said, "Perhaps all we can do is practice the complete method and try to increase our strength. Regarding other things, we can't change anything even if we think about it so much."
"There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain. Things may not be as desperate as we think. No one can guess the outcome until the last moment. There may be variables. Brothers and sisters, I am going to practice."
Jun Wuxie didn't say much. What he had to do now was to grow and become stronger.
The desperate situation of the sect will only be faced in the future, and it has not reached that point yet.
In his guess, before the sect's desperate situation, the first to face life and death should be their Zhenwu Peak lineage.
In the future, King Ning will continue to exert pressure, and his target will still be Zhenwu Peak, so he must become stronger, otherwise when the day comes, he will not be able to cope with it with his own strength.
Unless he takes the chance given by the Divine Sword, or uses the ice crystal jade pendant to call Mu Ciyin.
But he didn't want to use these. He wanted to solve any difficulty by his own strength. He didn't want to borrow the help of others unless it was absolutely necessary.
Everyone needs to grow. He understands what responsibilities and missions he will bear in the future. Although adversity gives him greater pressure and sense of urgency, it can also better promote his growth.
At any time, he cannot slack off in his own growth by thinking that he can borrow strength, because he knows very well that one day in the future, he will no longer be able to borrow strength. After all, he has to rely on himself. If he is not strong enough, everything will fail. It will become a dream and a fleeting cloud.
"Innocent."
When he returned to his residence and was about to enter the bedroom to practice, Jingya stopped him.
"Aunt Jing, what's wrong?"
He saw that Jingya seemed to have something to say.
"Qingyun is the first sect you joined in the upper realm, and it is also the first platform for your growth. The first person to be threatened by the future difficulties is Zhenwu Peak. Judging from the time, it should be very tight."
Jingya was silent for a moment after saying this, and then continued: "How about Aunt Jing try to contact some demon-dispersing practitioners and ask them to help fight against Prince Ning if necessary?"
"Aunt Jing, I don't want you to get involved in this matter!" Jun Wuxie did not expect that Jingya would have such an intention because she wanted to help him, so she immediately refused sternly: "Aunt Jing, just stay at Zhenwu Peak and leave everything to me. Go deal with it. Don’t think about contacting San Yao.”
"But……"
"There is no but!" Jun Wuxie's face darkened, and he said: "Aunt Jing, you know that doing that is likely to expose your identity. What would happen if this matter spread to the demon clan and became known to Sheng Ziyu's lineage? s consequence?"
Jingya remained silent.
How could she not know the consequences, and just think of Jun Wuxie before she went to the upper realm? She had just found a relatively stable environment, and ended up facing such a dilemma.
He was worried that Jun Wuxie would be too dangerous facing the powerful King Ning and would not be able to cope with it when the time came.
"Aunt Jing, don't you listen to everything I say?"
Jun Wuxie stepped forward and held her hand, saying, "I will never allow this."
His voice was calm, but his attitude was extremely firm.
Jingya raised her face slightly and stared at him, sighing faintly: "Okay, Aunt Jing will listen to you."
"Don't think about anything, just stay at Zhenwu Peak and wait for me to find something to heal you in the future. Don't worry about anything else. I know how to deal with it."
After saying that, he entered the bedroom and set up a barrier.
He didn't know when King Ning would send news for the strong men of the sect to go to Liuyun Forest, but before that, he hoped that he could improve his realm a little more.
At that time, he will ask to accompany him on the trip to Liuyun Forest.
"The blood-maned lion beast, I wonder if the severely injured blood-maned lion beast is related to the mother and son of the blood-maned lion beast that I encountered that day. According to Aunt Jing, the blood-maned lion beast should only exist in the Hengduan Mountains Inside. It seems that something happened in the Hengduan Mountains, which caused the Liuyun Lion Dog Beast in the realm of the Great Sage to suffer irreversible damage..."
He speculated that the blood-maned lion-dog beast did not want to die in the Hengduan Mountains, where there were too many strong men of its level, so it left and hid in Liuyun Forest.
But its injury was too serious. As the injury worsened, its aura became increasingly unable to be suppressed, so it attracted a large number of ancient beasts and ferocious birds in Liuyun Forest.
It can be imagined that the location of the blood-maned lion dog beast and the area near it are probably surrounded by ancient beasts and ferocious birds in the realm of the Holy King.
All those who want to get close to the blood-maned lions and dogs must face those ancient beasts and ferocious birds. It must be a tragic scene and many people will die.
"Prince Ning wants the core and blood essence of the blood-maned lion dog beast. Does he want to use it to attack the realm of the Overlord?"
He couldn't help but think that King Ning had reached the perfect state of the Great Sage a thousand years ago. Over the past thousand years, he had probably reached the half-step to the level of the Great Sage.
If he could get the core of the Blood-maned Lion Dog Beast this time, that would be fine.
"No matter whether Prince Ning is using it to attack the Overlord Realm, he cannot be allowed to obtain the beast core."
For such an important thing, King Ning should have sent a powerful person from the Great Sage to come, but he didn't.
For one thing, the blood-maned lion dog beast is very strong, and if you want to get his beast core, you must pay a price.
No matter whether it was the Great Sage or the Holy King, he could not stop his counterattack before his death.
Therefore, Prince Ning did not want to take this risk, and did not want to compromise his own strength, which might lead to an imbalance or advantage in the numbers between the top experts in Prince Ning's palace and the top experts around the current emperor, which would cause the four sects to lose their strength. People become cannon fodder.
There are a lot of strong Saint King Realm experts from the four sects, and they can compete with those ancient beasts and ferocious birds in the Saint King Realm.
"But with Prince Ning's character, how could he do something that he was not sure about? He sent a large number of powerful men from the Great Saint Realm without knowing it, but he would definitely send one or two secretly. When the blood-maned lion dog beast died, the four powerful men from the four sects and the ancient When beasts and ferocious birds fight, the hidden strong ones can wait for an opportunity to take action and get what they want."
"He asked the four strong men to go, but it was just a pretense. In fact, he wanted them to be cannon fodder to weaken the number of top strong men in the four major sects."
Jun Wuxie did not tell her senior brothers and sisters everything she had speculated earlier, as she did not want to put too much pressure on them.
He knew very well that Qingyun would not be able to complete this task, because Prince Ning would not be able to give Qingyun a chance, and there would be no question of breaking his promise by then.
In fact, even if Qingyun completes the task, the outcome will still not change.
The Lieshan Gate, Rising Sun Sect, and Yanxia Cave Sky thought that if they chose Prince Ning, they would be able to flourish in the future and prosper forever, but they did not expect that Prince Ning had never truly trusted them. He preferred the feeling of being in control of everything.
King Ning was suspicious by nature, the city was very deep, and he was very cautious in doing things.
Jun Wuxie can deduce his character and behavior from recent events.
King Ning was thinking about conquering the four major sects, but at the same time he was trying to weaken the strength of the four sects.
Regarding Qingyun, King Ning's method was to put pressure on him from all sides.
One of the methods was to let his daughter, Princess Anning, win over Qin Yi.
Qin Yi is Qingyun's most outstanding contemporary disciple, and the sect's senior officials have placed deep expectations on Qin Yi.
But now, Qin Yi is getting very close to Princess An Ning, which will deepen the sense of crisis among the senior leaders of the sect, and at the same time plant a glimmer of hope in their hearts, that is, relying on Qin Yi's relationship with the princess, Qingyun only needs to If you surrender, you will be favored by King Ning in the future.
In this way, will the sect's senior leaders choose to give up Qin Yi, a rare talent in their eyes, or will their will be shaken by Qin Yi's choice and start to be inclined to surrender to Prince Ning?
This is poaching while using psychological tactics to put pressure on Qingyun from different aspects, break down Qingyun's inner defenses, and shake the will of Qingyun's top brass.
He shook his head, no longer thinking about it, took out the ten bottles of Holy Spirit Baicao Liquid, opened the cork, and a pure Holy Spirit energy filled the air.
There is a green liquid inside, which is very clear and exudes the fragrance of various herbs.
He drank all ten bottles of Holy Spirit Baicao Liquid in succession.
When the Holy Spirit Baicao Liquid enters the throat, it is sweet and fragrant, leaving a fragrance on the lips and teeth, with a light cooling feeling.
The medicinal energy melted in the body and quickly turned into the majestic Holy Spirit vitality, rushing like a river along the meridians and flowing to the limbs and bones.
He used the Original Golden Body Technique to transform the Holy Spirit's vitality into life essence, tempering his physical body over and over again, and then gathered it in the cave sky and incorporated it into the golden sea of stars.
The golden star sea began to grow slowly. At the same time, he was also absorbing the dark energy of the dark spirit masters. After grinding and purifying the wheel of the world, he transformed it into controllable dark energy and grew the black star sea.
The sea of gold and black stars practice simultaneously.
His realm continues to improve as time goes by.
Seven days passed in the blink of an eye, and his star sea had expanded a lot, and his current state had advanced to the late stage of the Saint's Small Heavenly Stage.
The medicinal energy of the Holy Spirit Baicao Liquid has now been completely consumed.
This kind of resource has a good effect on those under the Holy King, but when it comes to him, Ten Bottles can only barely improve it by a small level.
This is based on the fact that he devoured several strong Yin spirits in the Saint realm in the middle stage of the Little Heaven Realm. Otherwise, it would be difficult to break through even a small realm.
"There is also Zhenwu Blood Pill, which is estimated to allow me to break through at least several small realms. There is no problem in stepping into the heavenly position among saints. It's just that the energy of Zhenwu Blood Pill is pure. It's too wasteful to use it at the current level. It's best to Use it when your realm is higher..."
He was thinking about it and didn't want to waste it, but he was currently eager to improve his realm.
He looked at the Zhenwu Blood Pill and then put it away.
"Aunt Jing, what day is it today?"
His spiritual thoughts were transmitted outside.
"It's the first day of April."
Jun Wuxie removed the barrier and walked out of the bedroom. He saw Jingya looking at him in front of the door and said, "I almost forgot that the first day of every month is the day when sect disciples receive their salary."
"Really?" Jingya was stunned and said, "No wonder your senior brothers and sisters have left Zhenwu Peak. Why didn't they come to ask you to come with them?"
"Because they don't want to be with me. They will remind me only after I receive my salary."
"Why?"
Jingya was a little surprised.
"I also have to go to the Resource Hall. Although my salary is not much, I still have to go."
Jun Wuxie left the compound without answering Jingya's doubts.
He quickened his pace, wanting to arrive at the Resource Hall earlier.
The senior brothers and sisters did not ask him to come with them, probably because the eldest brother and second senior sister would be made things difficult and targeted every time they received their salary.
They didn't want him to see this.
But for Jun Wuxie, he couldn't bear this matter. The resource hall was going too far!
