For a long time from now on, almost no one knew about the death of Zhenjun Ke Kun. Due to various considerations, Zhao Sheng did not disclose the matter to the public and only told Zhao Chengping.
The reason why he did not make it public was that the Ke family had a very deep foundation and the overall strength of the family and its vassal forces was enough to easily crush the Zhao family.
Secondly, once the relationship breaks out, if the Ke family does not hesitate to do anything, it is very likely that they will invite several gods to besiege him. They may even pay a huge price to bring back an ancestor of the Ke family from the spiritual world.
Although Zhao Sheng is completely unafraid of any enemy, the Zhao family cannot be destroyed because of him. Therefore, as long as the Ke family does not want to expose their own ugliness, he will not bother
"It's unnecessary." Anyway, let nature take its course and hide it as long as you can. If the news accidentally leaks out, it will be an internal matter of the Ke family and has nothing to do with him.
One day later, the sun was shining brightly and there were no clouds in the sky. A stream of light fell sharply from the void outside the territory. In the blink of an eye, it fell on the towering sacred tree behind Tongxin City and disappeared in a flash.
After another half day, dusk fell, and only then did Zhao Chengfang return from the horizon with his escaping light, and stepped into the tree cave with a heavy face.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the cave, he saw a familiar figure, which immediately gave him a great surprise.
"Brother Lei?!" Zhao Chengping's eyes widened and he looked extremely surprised, but he soon became overjoyed and laughed repeatedly: "Okay, okay, as long as nothing happens to you!" Zhao Sheng smiled and said calmly: "I am. It's nothing, it's just that the Ke family is in big trouble. Brother Cheng, because I couldn't hold it back for a moment, I accidentally killed Mr. Ke Kun. This matter may implicate the Zhao family."
"What?" Upon hearing this, Zhao Chengping froze and asked in disbelief: Brother Lei, what did you just say?
Coqun was... killed by you! Are you talking about the same person as me? It’s not like they have the same name!
No way, no... it will... Oops! "Speaking of this, Zhao Chengping suddenly saw Nan Ke Dian playing with Zhao Sheng's hand. His face instantly turned white, and his voice suddenly became countless times quieter. Finally, he slapped his thigh with his right hand, with a complicated expression on his face. !
"Old Ke Kun originally wanted to kill people and seize the treasure, but his strength was so poor. It was simply a waste of time to care about the reputation of the True Monarch." Zhao Sheng said solemnly as he put away the Nan Ke Palace.
Hearing this, Zhao Chengping immediately didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He said helplessly: "Brother Lei, you are really... no one could have imagined that you could be so powerful, defeating the gods with the strength of the Nascent Soul Realm! My God, at least recently In the past ten thousand years, we have never heard of such strange things in this world." Zhao Sheng looked unconcerned. In his previous life, he had even killed the Blood God who was in the Tribulation Realm, and in this life, he had killed several people who had returned to the void in the Endless Tunnel. How could a half-immortal take the little transformed god in his eyes now?
"Okay, I just killed an incarnation that didn't live up to the name. It's not an earth-shattering thing. It's just that the Ke family has lost an incarnation, so I won't let it go. I'm not afraid, I'm just afraid that the other person will vent his anger on others. I'm afraid the Zhao family will be in a difficult situation in the future." After hearing this, Zhao Chengping's expression changed suddenly, and he instantly thought of the many dangerous situations and horrific consequences that may occur in the future.
You must know that the Zhao family is small and weak, and it will never be able to withstand the continuous suppression of the ancient Ke family. However, he suddenly thought that the rightful owner was right in front of him, and his anxious heart suddenly returned to his stomach. He pretended to smile bitterly and said: "Brother Lei, this... what should I do?"
"Okay, don't deliberately make a grimace. I won't leave without caring. If the Ke family dares to knock on the door, I will deal with it. If I are angered, the Ke family will not be able to bear it. "Retaliation." After Zhao Sheng finished speaking, he changed the topic: "Of course, you and I should know about Ke Kun's death, and don't tell the juniors for the time being. The Ke family will naturally keep this matter secret. Without announcing it. In this way, both parties will be at peace for the time being. I just take the opportunity to improve my cultivation as soon as possible to avoid unspeakable things happening in the future."
"That's all we have to do! Brother Lei, the Zhao family's safety is completely out of your hands." Zhao Chengping felt a little relieved after hearing this, so he said with a grimace.
After this conversation, Zhao Chengping waited uneasily for many days until he received the latest information. He was surprised to find that the Ke family not only did not raise an army to prosecute, but instead took the initiative to shrink their sphere of influence, with a frightened attitude.
Seeing this situation, Zhao Chengping slowly let go of his nervousness and began to secretly shrink his sphere of influence, and repeatedly reminded his descendants to be more vigilant.
For this reason, he shamelessly visited the family many times
True Lord "Thunder God" did not return empty-handed every time. He actually successfully recovered a large number of high-level escape talismans and other mid-to-high-grade magic weapons for the Jindan juniors.
Sure enough, there is a saying that goes well, heaven will never let down everyone who is thoughtful! After a peaceful year, Zhao Sheng visited the Immortal Burial Ruins many times, and his cultivation level successfully broke through to the fifth level of Nascent Soul.
At the same time, the Ke family began to test the Zhao family. At first, the three immortal cultivating families bordering the Zhao family suddenly provoked various disputes, such as territorial division, ownership of border resource points, conflicts between clansmen, deliberate provocations, etc. Wait for conflicts.
Over the past few years, the Zhao family can be said to be
"There are enemies on all sides", and I am worried about this and not the other, and I am very worried. It is obvious that all the conflicts in front of us are instigated by the Ke family behind their backs, and their unfathomable family heritage is clearly revealed at this moment.
I can't see it like this
"Sit back and wait for death", Zhao Chengping knocked on Zhao Sheng's cave door again. In the next few days, Zhao Sheng personally visited the sacred tree territories of the three surrounding families and had cordial and friendly exchanges with their tree masters.
After this incident, the surrounding three major families immediately became quiet and rushed to withdraw from the Thousand Miles Territory, and all conflicts disappeared.
However, the Ke family's goal was achieved. The reason why they secretly instigated him was just to test whether Zhao Sheng was still in the Zhao family.
Zhao Sheng and Zhao Chengping actually knew the thoughts and purposes of the Ke family. Time flies, and ten years fly by.
The Zhao family had lived in peace for a few years, but a shocking change soon occurred, causing everyone in the Zhao family to fall into panic.
Overseas cultivators have invaded Simon State in a big way! In three days, all eighteen immortal cultivating families on the eastern coast fell, and the town's sacred tree also fell into the hands of the enemy.
Just half a month later, war broke out in the eastern territory of Simon State, and the number of the Great Chun Sacred Trees falling into the enemy's hands reached as many as thirty-nine.
You must know that the Great Chun Sacred Tree is not only a node of spiritual veins, but also the core territory of every immortal cultivating force. Every time a sacred tree changes hands, it means that a certain cultivating force either surrenders or is conquered.
Soon after, more relevant information was transmitted back to Tongxin City like snowflakes. All the Zhao clan members who knew the latest war situation were shocked and took a breath of cold air.
For this battle, the overseas cultivator community sent 20,000 floating saucer boats, which were divided into three armies and landed from the eastern coast at midnight.
The three armies completely abandoned the territory along the way and went straight to the sacred tree territories of the major cultivating families, destroying all resistance with thunderous force.
Then, the army continued to kill the next target without making any adjustments. The attack route was very clear, and it could be said that they knew the route well.
The essence of "Blitzkrieg". The most shocking thing is that all three armies have at least one God-Transforming True Lord sitting in command. The evidence is the fall of Yu, Zhang and Qian's Erjie Gaomen.
The three great sects only persisted for a few days, and many Yuanying ancestors in their clan, including Shu Zun, were personally killed by the Overseas True Lord. The remaining Yuanying ancestors were suddenly frightened, and soon The entire clan surrendered.
As soon as this incident came out, the entire Simon State was in an uproar. Just because of the Overseas True Lord's action, the tens of thousands of years of Da Chun's world were directly broken.
The unspoken rule of "the true king does not interfere in the secular world". Therefore, for a time, the three overseas armies were unstoppable along the way. In just a few months, they invaded the hinterland of the mainland and the war spread across half of Simon State.
The three-pronged army attacked the sacred tree territory of Mo, Bi, Chen and other three tribulation clans before the tidal wave of offensive was blocked.
At this time, nearly a hundred immortal cultivating forces in Simon State had their territories breached, and hundreds of thousands of miles of territory had become enemy territory.
In just half a year, the situation in Simon State took a turn for the worse. The remaining more than 180 immortal cultivating forces were in panic and their morale was greatly reduced!
At this time, as Simon State
The Ke family, the "uncrowned king", was also so anxious that they didn't care about anything else. Facing the invasion of foreign enemies, the Ke family had no choice but to summon all the forces in the state and took the initiative to unite five Sanjia clans to form the Simon State Cultivation Alliance as quickly as possible.
However, the overseas army has three true kings stationed there, and the Simon State Alliance must also have equally high-level combat capabilities.
Therefore, Fairy Gui Mei, the only two true gods in the state, was finally invited out of the mountain. As a result, the pressure quickly came to the Ke family!
Seeing that he couldn't hide it, the eldest elder of the Ke family finally said that his true king had been traveling outside the territory for many years and had not returned yet.
But his excuse was really poor, and the other Yuan Ying ancestors didn't believe a word of it. As a result, the five Sanjia clans all used the highest-level spies to secretly inquire into the life and death of Ke Kun, the True Lord of Heavenly Fantasy.
As long as you have the patience to inquire, there are no secrets in the world. As time went by, some rumors were naturally leaked out.
The Bi family and other five major three-tribulation sects have successively learned the information that True Lord Tianhuan has most likely fallen, and even the clan's most precious treasure, Nanke Palace, may not be seen for a long time.
The secretive and bizarre behavior of the Ke family caused panic within the alliance, and the situation was once unstable. Although the Ke family quickly invited a casual cultivator from China to take charge, the news of the death of True Lord Tianhuan still spread.
Later, some Nascent Soul ancestors who had personally participated in the Simon State event seemed to have guessed the cause of Ke Kun's death.
As a result, Tongxin City soon became lively, and many Jindan masters from major families came one after another in the name of visiting relatives and friends.
Even some astute Nascent Soul monks secretly rushed to Tongxin City and expressed their hope to meet with Senior Thunder God.
Of course, all these smart people were received by Zhao Chengping, and in the end they didn't even see Zhao Sheng.
Compared with these Yuanying monks who returned without success, Mr. Dengcao, who came with the treasure, was an exception. At the cost of owing a favor, Mr. Dengcao finally moved Zhao Chengping and asked him to pass the message on his behalf.
Sure enough, Zhao Sheng, who had been in seclusion for many years, actually responded and allowed Mr. Deng Cao to enter the house for a talk. A moment later, in a simple and elegant living room in the cave, Zhao Sheng, dressed in Taoist robes, met the ordinary-looking Mr. Dengcao.
"Please sit down and drink tea!" Zhao Sheng had been in seclusion for a long time, and his speech became simple and direct. He waved his sleeves and flicked a cup of spiritual tea onto the lower jade table.
Seeing this, Mr. Dengcao walked carelessly behind the jade table, sat down, then raised his tea cup and took a sip of tea.
When you enter, you will feel the fragrant fragrance and a long aftertaste!
"Good tea!" Mr. Dengcao said the word "good tea" without a long speech. Such a generous and unpretentious behavior will undoubtedly make people feel good!
Of course, the opponent's little trick was just to close the distance, and it was of no use to Zhao Sheng.
Zhao Sheng had already guessed this person's intention. He believed that the other party also had this tacit understanding. As expected, after Mr. Dengcao exchanged a few pleasantries, he simply took out three jade boxes and revealed the true purpose of coming here.
"The Ke family has offended my seniors before, so I feel deeply guilty! I can't hold back my feelings, so I have to come to the door to apologize in person. These three treasures are an apology from the Ke family, and I hope that seniors will accept them." Zhao Sheng's eyes flashed, and he stretched out his hand. The lids of the boxes were opened one by one, and the treasures inside immediately lit up his eyes.
In the jade box on the far left, there is a crystal jade Ruyi about a foot long, inlaid with seven bright star beads, which is the seven-star Ruyi that has been missing for a long time.
In the box in the middle, there is an animal skin scroll that is as thick as an arm and more than ten feet long. It looks ordinary, and I don't know what kind of treasure it is.
In the jade box on the far right, there is an exquisite, clear, green chun tree jade leaf. It exudes a layer of divine light, full of mysterious and vivid vitality, as if it had just been picked from the tree.
Mr. Dengcao's eyes wandered back and forth over the Three Treasures, and then he quickly introduced the Three Treasures. The first treasure is the Seven Stars Ruyi, so there is no need to go into details.
The animal skin scroll in the middle also has a great origin. It is actually a map of the Void Sea Star Realm. This map covers the starry sky realm with a radius of nearly two thousand years.
There are as many as nine famous Hengsha worlds, among which there are also marked with a large number of resource Death Stars, star beast gathering places, foreign cities and many dangerous places.
The value of this picture is immeasurable! And the last jade leaf of the chun tree was actually the famous one
"Ascension Order". With this order, Zhao Sheng can use the ascension formation in this world to ascend to the spirit world in one fell swoop.
Generally speaking, outside gods are not allowed to use the ascension formation of their own world, unless they have made extraordinary contributions to their own world.
Now that the war is imminent, the Ke family is also afraid of being attacked from both sides, so
"Da Fang" sent the ascension order, looking forward to bringing Zhao Sheng this
Send the "God of Plague" away as soon as possible. The purpose of these three treasures given by the Ke family could not be more obvious.
It's a pity that they completely miscalculated one thing. Zhao Sheng is not even a great monk, how could he possibly be able to fully cultivate it?
What about "ascension"? Of course, Zhao Sheng happily accepted the treasures delivered to his door without saying a word. But he was always vague and did not make his attitude clear in the end. He only said some perfunctory words such as peace is the most important thing and he personally admires the excellent family tradition of the Ke family.
Half a day later, Mr. Dengcao left Tongxin City with mixed feelings. After this person brought Zhao Sheng's words back, the Ke family tree master, the great elder Ke Jidao and others couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief. No one understood better than them how much pressure the family was under now.
Once the weakness within the family is exposed during the war, they may be attacked by a group. At that time, the chain reaction of the Ke family's tens of thousands of years of foundation may be destroyed.
Comfort well
After "Thunder God", the Ke family immediately devoted most of their energy to the battle ahead. Compared to the Ke family
"Unfortunately", the Zhao family is much luckier because the mountain range where Tongxin City is located is located in the western inland of Simon Continent.
Unless most of Simon State's territory falls, there is no need to worry about the territory being affected by this war. ...Time flies, and the war has lasted for sixteen years in the blink of an eye.
Seven years ago, after the Simon State Cultivation Alliance spent a great deal of money to invite many god-transforming true kings from China and Dongli Province, the alliance suddenly stabilized its position, and the two warring parties fell into a state of confrontation.
Today, almost all of the two million miles of territory in the eastern part of Simon State has been occupied, and hundreds of millions of people have been relocated to the three major overseas archipelagos.
In the past ten years, the Honshu Alliance and the overseas armies have fought several battles, resulting in numerous casualties.
