"Your Majesty, there is no need to be suspicious. The identity of the royal family of the former Lie Kingdom is absolutely true. Everything is well-documented. Even the monarchs of the Four Dynasties couldn't find the Fengzhou tripod. It is still in the hands of our family, which is enough." Prove the identity of our royal family!"
Under the lobby of the Duhu Mansion, a middle-aged warrior with dark skin and a tiger-like chin clasped his fists in front of his chest. His voice was low and he respectfully replied: "Your Majesty was born in Zhenwu Marquis Mansion. He should know the treatment of our clan by the successive Zhou emperors. Attitude, if possible, the Royal Family of the Great Zhou Dynasty will never allow us to survive in the world. It is only because of the opinions of the world and the reputation after our death that we are expelled from the Nine Provinces Continent!"
"I do know a little bit about the relationship between the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Lie Kingdom. But now that the hundred years have not expired, you have privately returned to the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty. This has violated the expiration date imposed by the Great Zhou Taizu on the former Lie Kingdom. You have publicly identified your identity. , when you come to me, aren't you afraid that I will capture you all and present them to Emperor Jing?"
Jiang Li smiled coldly. He tried to support his body, but as soon as he moved, he didn't know which hidden injury was involved. Cold sweat broke out immediately, and a thin layer of sweat oozed out on his forehead.
"The king was severely injured by the ghost clan and his internal injuries are difficult to heal. This Bailu Marrow Ointment is the most precious treasure of our former lie royal family. It has the magical effect of stabilizing the Qi and blood meridians, nourishing the bone marrow, and enhancing the vitality of the blood. It is also compatible with the Nine Transformations of Amitabha Temple. The elixir is as famous as the elixir, and it is specially presented to the king for the purpose of cultivating his body!"
The middle-aged man turned his right hand, and a small ebony box appeared in his palm.
Upon seeing this, An Mang's soldiers standing by the side quickly stepped forward to take the small box, walked quickly to Jiang Li, and presented it with both hands.
"I didn't expect that after nearly a hundred years, Bailu Shengmui Cream could still appear in Kyushu. General Duanmu is interested!"
Jiang Li took the small ebony box and was slightly surprised, but did not open it immediately.
"Jiuzhou Chronicle" records the mysterious properties of this precious medicine. Although it does not have the miraculous effect of the flesh and bones of the living dead, it is still almost the same.
No matter how serious the injury is, as long as the meridians and blood vessels in the body are not completely broken, taking this medicine can extend your life for at least ten days.
It is indeed one of the few best life-saving medicines in Kyushu.
"The king is blessed with a shocking destiny. Even if his body is destroyed, it will only be a temporary embarrassment. I see that Anmang City's luck shows no sign of dissipating. The king's current predicament will definitely be overcome in the future!"
Duanmuyin looked calm and said calmly: "The time for Taizu Taizu of Great Zhou to expel our former lie royal family has indeed not yet arrived. As the powerful king of Great Zhou, the king naturally has the responsibility to capture us.
"But we dare to come here because we believe that the king is not a conservative and sanctimonious person like Jiang Shirong. Nowadays, the turmoil in Kyushu is increasing day by day. Unknown laws of heaven will come at any time, and the forces of the ancient survivors will also appear in the world one after another. , today is the time to gather all our strength to fight against unknown changes.
"Although our Duanmu clan has been far away from the Middle Earth and has been wandering for nearly a hundred years, we have never given up on ourselves. After a hundred years of reproduction and growth, we have also accumulated a lot of strength. I wonder if I can help the king and strengthen An Mang!"
"What's more, the king has made countless contributions to the Great Zhou Dynasty and is loyal, but he is suspected and feared by Emperor Jing. Jiang Shirong has become a human being and is truly a human minister. He is also incompatible with the king. There is no way that the Great Zhou Dynasty will let you become a human being. The long-term vassal king who is free and easy will definitely take action against An Mang in a few years or ten years. How can the king not think about himself?"
After Duan Muyin finished speaking, he and the other former Lie tribesmen behind him bowed and bowed, silently expressing their stance.
"What you said does make some sense. I have no intention of rebellion, but the king has always been ruthless. Naturally, he will not allow me to command hundreds of thousands of troops and stand on top of the Great Zhou Dynasty!"
Jiang Li nodded and said slowly: "The development time of Anmang City is too short, and it does require the integration of more forces. However, there are many forces in the world, and the Qianlie Royal Family also has a lot of foundation. They can accumulate strength to become an independent force. Why do you need to join me?
"I am no longer the Jiang Li I used to be. My body has been crippled, my potential has been almost cut off, and even the Wanhu Mountain Monster Clan has left me. If you, the former Lie Royal Family, chose to join Anmang City, you must have had your own plans and calculations! "
"The king is worried that we and the former Lie royal family have integrated into An Mang in order to take advantage of the king's physical depletion to slowly infiltrate and eventually replace the king and seize An Mang?"
Duanmuyin raised his head and said calmly: "The known history of Kyushu has gone through mythology, ancient times, ancient times, medieval times, and modern times. I don't know how many forces and royal families have been born. I am afraid there are more weeds than the weeds in the Baizhang Wasteland, but there are so many How many ethnic groups can survive to this day?
"Since the time when Taizu of the Great Zhou Dynasty sought power and usurped the throne, our former Lie Royal Family has known that our clan is probably not the protagonist of this era. Even the Fengzhou tripod is treasured in the clan and has not been successfully communicated with by any generation of clan members for hundreds of years. Fighting for that illusory opportunity, which may fall into a place of eternal destruction at any time, it is better to find a bright master to rely on and survive this era!"
"I didn't expect that you could see so clearly. Many so-called royal families in modern and ancient times are far behind you in this regard!"
Jiang Li was indeed surprised by Duan Muyin's words.
If he hadn't noticed the unique power fluctuations of the Qianlie royal family in front of him, he would have actually believed Duanmu Yin's words.
"To be honest with you, Your Majesty, the former Lie royal family is not really willing to give up. Being forced to join An Mang is the only choice out of desperation!"
Duanmuyin sighed: "As early as more than ten years ago, our former Lie Royal Family had already planned to return to Kyushu. We issued orders from the Four Regions and other islands to gather the clansmen and select some elite forces to sneak into Kyushu to investigate the situation. , waiting for the opportunity.
"In the past ten years, we have investigated many forces and heroes, and even Jiang Shirong was our focus, but the results were not satisfactory to us. It was not until you appeared that we saw a glimmer of hope. , and those of us who became An Mang’s subordinates only initially recognized the king, and did not represent all the opinions of the Duanmu clan!”
"Didn't the Qianlie royal family gather together in one place after they moved out of Kyushu?"
Jiang Li raised his eyebrows and asked suddenly.
"Of course we can't gather in one place. Who knows if the Great Zhou Taizu will secretly send people to completely exterminate our clan!"
Duanmuyin nodded and said: "Ninety years ago, as soon as our clan left Jiuzhou, the clan members were divided into ten branches and went to different sea areas to survive. Every twenty years, a clan meeting would be held to disperse the clansmen in various areas. All representatives will be sent to participate!”
"It's like this!"
Jiang Li suddenly realized, no wonder he always felt that Duan Muyin's words were somewhat credible.
In this way, the ghost tribe's envoys only control a few branches of the Duanmu tribe, not all.
"This is a bit difficult to handle!"
Jiang Li frowned secretly.
If the Qianlie Royal Family were all sent by the ghost clan’s divine envoys, he could have treated, tested, teased, and killed them all in the same way without any scruples.
But now, there are real Duanmu tribesmen who sincerely seek refuge, but they must be careful to avoid hurting innocent people.
"Duanmuyin, I already know the intentions of your ex-lie royal family, but everything has laws. Anmang is a military city, and you cannot leave it. When you join Anmang, you must start as a scout army like other recruited sergeants. , accept An Mang's test and recognition step by step until he is completely integrated!" Jiang Li said solemnly.
"Your Majesty, you can rest assured that the Duanmu clan will not disappoint you!"
Duan Muyin responded with a respectful voice, and led the clansmen behind him, led by the government soldiers, to leave the hall and walk out of the city.
Looking at the figures gradually disappearing from his eyes, Jiang Li slowly sat up from the soft couch, and silently locked a few of them with his energy.
Although only four of the more than twenty former Lie royal family members had ghost power fluctuations in their bodies, it was not necessarily the case that there were no other former Lie royal family members who were subdued by the ghost clan's divine envoys.
"Jiang Li, it is indeed a good thing for Anmang City that the Qianlie Royal Family can recognize you. Once you obtain the Qianlie Royal Family, Anmang City's strength will be greatly increased!"
Shangguan Qingyan walked out from behind the screen in the lobby and said with mixed feelings: "But it's not easy for us to find out the ghost power hidden inside, especially if we can't alert the snake. If unnecessary misunderstandings are caused, Duanmu will be disturbed." A clan has turned against us!"
"It is true that this matter cannot be rushed, but since these reincarnated aliens have been ordered by the ghost tribe's envoy to blend into Anmang and hide themselves, they will definitely do their best to gain my trust!"
Jiang Li smiled slightly and said: "Perhaps at some point, I can even trust them more and let them do some extremely difficult things, even things that the former Lie Royal Family cannot do. These aliens can't do it." can do it!"
"You want to take advantage of them!"
Shangguan Qingyan was slightly startled, then shook her head and said with a smile: "If the ghost tribe's divine envoy knows your plan, he may hate you!"
"Then let him hate it a little more!"
Jiang Li smiled, his eyes suddenly fell on Shangguan Qingyan, and he was slightly surprised: "I haven't seen you for a few days, and you actually broke through to the realm of ghosts and immortals!"
"It's a bit of a fluke. After I refined the divine thought you gave me, my divine soul grew to its limit. However, because the improvement was too violent, I lost control and even started to run on its own. The blood and essence in my body fed back my divine soul, and my forehead and heart gave birth to a divine fetus. I transformed into a ghost and immortal, and almost became a demon. Fortunately, the old human immortal noticed some strange phenomena, suppressed the entire Anmang City with his own pressure, and protected me. I almost survived death, broke through the barrier of life and death, and was promoted. The realm of ghosts and immortals!”
Shangguan Qingyan's pretty face changed slightly, and she still felt a little scared when she recalled the dangerous scene when she broke through the realm of ghosts and immortals.
In Anmang City, all the Wanhu Mountain demon clan including Qingniu Yao, Fox Yao Yuntao, Lao Lu, Big Black Dog and others have left Yunwang City with the old Fox King and went to Qiongsha Sea Area to assist several aristocratic families with their arrangements.
Although there are some Taoist practitioners in the city, they have not entered the realm of ghosts and immortals. Even if they find Shangguan Qingyan in crisis, they are unable to save her.
"In Taoist practice, every step you take is dangerous and unpredictable. You must be more careful in your future practice, especially when you are approaching a breakthrough!"
Although Jiang Li had not experienced it personally, he could still imagine the dangerous situation that Shangguan Qingyan was in when she was promoted to Ghost Immortal and was on the verge of failure.
Fortunately, we got through it safely in the end.
And once you become a ghost immortal and discover the truth about life and death, you will have more life and longevity.
Once it has passed through the baptism of a thunderstorm, the ghost can be born with pure Yang attributes and get rid of the trouble of the mystery in the womb. When the corpse is reincarnated, the complete memory can be retained, so that the self in the next life can gain endless opportunities.
"When a living being is promoted to a ghost immortal, the body's essence, blood, and yang soul feed back to the soul, resulting in a serious blood deficiency in the body, which often leaves hidden dangers, exhausting the potential of the body and making it impossible to continue to improve!"
Jiang Li noticed the weakness of Shangguan Qingyan's aura and the loss of flesh and blood. With a sudden movement in his heart, Jiang Li sent the Bailu Shengmarrow Ointment offered by Duanmuyin into Shangguan Qingyan's hands.
"I can't accept it. This item is a treasure as famous as the Nine-turn Great Return Pill of Amituo Temple. It can make up for the lack of blood in the physical body. Your Taoist realm has also reached the late stage of the body-taking realm. When you are promoted to a ghost immortal in the future, you will also need the treasure to make up for the physical body. Loss of blood and soul!"
Shangguan Qingyan quickly waved her hand and wanted to return Bailu Shengmui Ointment to Jiang Li's hand, but was pushed back by the latter.
"You can accept it, but my physique and skills are special. Even if I am promoted to the realm of ghosts and immortals, my body's blood and energy will not suffer any loss!" Jiang Li explained softly.
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Qingyan recalled all the mysterious things Jiang Li had shown, and knew that the latter had not lied to her, so she no longer refused.
If she could swallow the Bailu Shengmui Cream to completely make up for the loss of her physical body, she could keep this body forever and be with Jiang Li more.
Generally speaking, once human Taoist masters reach the ghost and fairyland, even if they prepare various nourishing medicines in advance, they will inevitably lose their physical body's vitality and potential.
Even a strong Martial Saint will stop here and find it difficult to improve.
Therefore, once they successfully survive a thunderstorm, they will choose to give up their original physical bodies directly, look for fetuses with outstanding physical qualifications and extraordinary family backgrounds, carry out rebirth, and re-cultivate their martial arts and Taoist realms.
Even the demon clan is no exception.
For example, Tuoba Canghai, the fox demon king Yunxi, etc. who had given Jiang Li spiritual thoughts were all like this.
"Qingyan, during my trip to the Western Region, I killed the Xingyuan Flower Goddess of the Jingyuan Sect and collected all her spiritual thoughts!"
Jiang Li thought, and a faint light flickered on his forehead. Immediately, more than a hundred pure thoughts flew out of the golden pages and floated to Shangguan Qingyan. "These spiritual thoughts have been refined through special methods. They are pure and flawless and do not contain any spiritual imprint. It can be directly refined and fused!"
"So many divine thoughts for one calamity!"
Shangguan Qingyan was extremely surprised and overjoyed.
Her soul had been blended and practiced with Jiang Li. It already had more pure Yang attributes than the soul of an ordinary Taoist, and it was also fused with the divine thoughts that Jiang Li had given her before.
Although he has just been promoted to Ghost Immortal, the power of his divine thoughts is stronger than most ordinary Ghost Immortals.
If she can integrate all these soul thoughts, not only will her soul power be greatly increased, but it will also help her to easily survive a thunderstorm and become a rare Taoist master in the world.
In the period that followed, Jiang Li and Shangguan Qingyan practiced in seclusion, refining their spiritual thoughts, and their Taoist realms improved rapidly.
On the tenth day, all the divine thoughts in the golden pages were successfully refined by Jiang Li, and the number of his divine thoughts reached an incredible level.
