In the inn, Du Yue and others are quickly recovering their state.
Outside the window of the room where Xiao Zhan was, a strong wind suddenly blew.
Xiao Zhan chuckled, looked at Du Hao and the others and said:
"You go to the next room."
Although Du Hao and others were confused, they still nodded, stood up, opened the door and walked out.
Xiao Zhan then looked at the window and slowly said:
"Now that you're here, let's go inside and sit down."
As soon as he finished speaking, the window was suddenly blown open by the wind.
A figure flew in from the window and landed about three meters away from Xiao Zhan.
This is a middle-aged man, wearing a white robe, with his hair tied and a crown, and he is elegant.
If there is any characteristic, it is probably a scar between this middle-aged man's eyebrows.
This added a touch of wildness to his elegant temperament.
Seeing Xiao Zhan looking at him, he leaned over and clasped his fists, smiling:
"Master Xiao."
Xiao Zhan picked up the wine gourd and took a sip of wine before casually asking:
"What's your name and who are you?"
"Are you here to kill me?"
The middle-aged man shook his head with a smile, straightened up and said:
"Master Xiao is joking. With your strength, even a hundred of me are no match."
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Guo Shi. Thanks to the appreciation of the king, I am now the national master of Zhentu Kingdom."
"Ouch?" Xiao Zhan also laughed:
"The National Preceptor of the Zhentu Kingdom, the confidant of your king, it seems that starting a war with the Haoyang Empire was your idea?"
Guo Shi shook his head:
"Master Xiao, what you said is wrong."
"The war between the two countries is a tacit agreement between our kings and your Emperor Haoyang Empire."
Xiao Zhan chuckled:
"Then you, the Imperial Master, do you think the choice of your Imperial Majesty is a wise one?"
"In other words, do you think this war should be fought?"
Guo Shi shook his head and smiled:
"From the perspective of the people, military and civilians of the two countries, war will naturally not do any good."
"It's just that the dynasty is the dynasty of the royal family, and the people are the subjects of the royal family."
"In the face of the interests of the royal family, everything seems not that important."
Xiao Zhan chuckled:
"Tell me, what are you looking for?"
Guo Shi's expression suddenly became solemn.
He cupped his hands and fists at Xiao Zhan:
"On behalf of the Zhentu Kingdom, I invite Master Xiao to join us. As long as you join our Zhentu Kingdom, we are willing to regard you as the Protector of the Country and enjoy the treatment of a national teacher."
Xiao Zhan slowly shook his head:
"You said you are the national master of Zhentu Kingdom, but I don't see any of your abilities now."
Guo Shi smiled and nodded:
"Master Xiao is right, I don't have any great abilities, everything depends on the appreciation of the king."
"Let's get down to business."
"I'm worried that Master Xiao will kill our country's leader, so I came to invite Master Xiao to join our Zhentu Kingdom."
"I can promise on behalf of the king that the war with the Haoyang Empire will never trouble Master Xiao."
"As long as Lord Xiao Feng becomes the patron saint of our Zhentu Kingdom."
Xiao Zhan chuckled:
"What's in it for me?"
Guo Shi shook his head:
"For a strong person like you, Master Xiao, it doesn't matter where you are, and there is no advantage in getting through your eyes."
"However, there is an immortal tomb in our Zhentu Kingdom that has not yet been excavated."
"If Master Xiao is willing to join the Zhentu Kingdom, our king said that we can give the Immortal Tomb to Master Xiao, and everything in it will belong to Master Xiao."
"It's really a generous move," Xiao Zhan smiled:
"But you may have misjudged me."
"I'm not very interested in fairy tombs."
"Besides, if you are willing to give me the Immortal Tomb, it means that in your eyes, the Immortal Tomb is not as valuable as me, so it will be of no use to me if I ask for it."
"Or you plan to use this excuse to stabilize me, and then find a way to kill me."
"In short, the Immortal Tomb looks quite tempting, but in fact, it is tasteless to me."
"I'm afraid that many of the real things in the Immortal Tomb have been discovered by you long ago."
Guo Shi smiled and said nothing.
Only then did he realize that Xiao Zhan's thoughts were more delicate than he imagined.
There are simply too few strong people who can remain calm and sober when facing the Immortal Tomb.
After a few seconds of silence, Guo Shi suddenly asked:
"Master Xiao, are you planning to go to the imperial city of our Zhentu Kingdom?"
Xiao Zhan nodded:
"Yes, we are going to your imperial city."
Guo Shi sighed:
"Master Xiao is going to kill our king?"
Xiao Zhan shook his head:
"That's not necessarily the case."
"Why, you, the Imperial Master, are planning to find a way to kill me?"
Guo Shi smiled and shook his head:
"I'm thinking whether to join the Haoyang Empire."
"After all, with someone like Peak Master Xiao here, Zhentu Kingdom may not have a chance of winning."
Xiao Zhan laughed:
"are you serious?"
Guo Shi's face turned serious:
"Master Xiao Feng laughed, I never joke."
Xiao Zhan shook his head:
"You are a smart man, no wonder you can become the national master of Zhentu Kingdom."
"But you're not smart enough."
Hearing this, Guo Shi nodded, cupped his fists and said:
"Please give me some advice, Master Xiao Feng."
Xiao Zhan waved his hand and said:
"Go away, I'm not interested in killing you, nor am I interested in chatting with you."
"The Tao is different... no small talk."
Guo Shi was silent again.
He found that he couldn't see through Xiao Zhan's thoughts at all.
He, the national master of Zhentu Kingdom, was like a clown in front of Xiao Zhan.
Guo Shi bowed and said sincerely:
"Master Xiao, please show me a way out."
Guo Shi said this very sincerely.
Although he is the national master of the Zhentu Kingdom, he is a person who is inferior to ten thousand people, and he is also a powerful person in the Great Perfection of the Fusion Realm.
But what he believes in is "He who knows the current affairs is a hero."
He firmly believed that Zhentu Country could not win this war as long as Xiao Zhan was here.
Xiao Zhan looked at Guo Shi and smiled:
"Life and death are just a matter of a thought."
"As the national advisor of the Zhentu Kingdom, you must seek a way out unless the two countries cease war."
"Or, if I kill the leader of your Zhentu Kingdom, you can take his place."
Hearing this, Guo Shi frowned instantly.
"Master Xiao wants a truce between the two countries?"
Guo Shi was so shocked.
In his opinion, Xiao Zhan, as the peak master of Xiuyuan Sect's tenth peak, came all the way to Zhentu Kingdom in order to stop the war between the two countries.
This doesn't make sense.
After all, if a strong person has a firm mind and looks down upon life and death in the world, how can he feel pity for the lives of mortals?
Guo Shi took out a breath and saluted Xiao Zhan again:
"Senior is truly a master, and I admire him greatly."
"Excuse me for disturbing you, Senior Xiao. This junior will leave now."
Seeing Xiao Zhan nodding, Guo Shi's figure flashed and flew out of the window, turning into a stream of light and disappearing into the sky.
a long distance away.
A dozen disguised Fusion Realm experts suddenly flew to Guo Shi's side.
They clasped their fists at Guo Shi and asked:
"Master Imperial Master, how is the situation?"
Guo
Shi shook his head and said in a deep voice:
"In our Zhentu Kingdom, three powerful men in the Mahayana realm have died at the hands of Master Xiao."
"Those of us in the Fusion Realm will only die if we go there."
"As soon as we die, Zhentu Kingdom will really collapse."
"Let's go back to the imperial city."
An old man frowned:
"National Master, what do you think of Xiao Zhan?"
"If...if Zhentu Country is going to be destroyed, we might as well surrender to Master Xiao early."
Guo Shi shook his head again:
"Master Xiao is a true master, he does not need our allegiance."
"If you really want to stay out of this, take your relatives and friends and leave Zhentu Country in advance."
After saying this, Guo Shi's figure flashed and flew towards the distance.
The imperial city of Zhentu Kingdom.
The leader of the country, Zhen Wuwei, was sitting on the throne.
In the main hall, the civil and military officials did not dare to make any sound.
Suddenly, Guo Shi's figure appeared at the door of the hall.
He quickly walked into the hall, clasped his fists at Zhen Wuwei on the throne and said:
"Your Majesty, I'm back."
Zhen Wuwei nodded expressionlessly:
"Thank you, Imperial Master."
"Tell me, what conditions does Xiao Zhan have?"
Guo Shi shook his head and said truthfully:
"Master Xiao didn't put forward any conditions."
Zhen Wuwei's eyes instantly turned cold, he slapped the armrest of the dragon chair suddenly, stood up and said:
"I really think that I, Zhen Wuwei, am afraid of him!"
"I've really driven this emperor into a panic. I've made it impossible for him to leave Zhentu Kingdom!"
All civil and military officials did not agree.
They knew very well that if it weren't for fear, Zhen Wuwei would not have such a big mood swing at this time.
At this moment, an extremely old man, wearing ragged clothes and with hair as messy as a bird's nest, flew in from outside the hall.
Seeing this old man, the country's leader Zhen Wuwei suddenly laughed.
"Ancestor, you are back."
This old man is the ancestor of the Queen's family.
It was normal for Zhen Wuwei to call him "ancestor".
Qi Qiuming glanced at Zhen Wuwei, nodded slowly and said:
"Xiuyuan Sect Xiao Zhan has come to Zhentu Kingdom. I already know about this."
"If I stay in the palace, it will be impossible for him to kill you."
Zhen Wuwei nodded, "Then there's Ancestor Lao."
At the same time, Xiao Zhan had led Du Yue and others out of the city where they were resting, heading south, slowly approaching the imperial city of Zhentu Kingdom.
At this speed, it would take Xiao Zhan and the others three months at most to reach the imperial city of Zhentu Kingdom.
Xiao Zhan didn't seem to plan to arrive soon.
He deliberately slowed down just to see the choice of the leader of Zhentu Kingdom and to see if any monsters would jump out.
After all, most of the people who jumped out at this time wanted to kill him. Such people must be militants, and they must all hope to start a war with the Haoyang Empire.
Only by getting rid of these people as much as possible can it be possible for the two countries to cease the war.
As for the militants in the Haoyang Empire, Xiao Zhan probably knew it well.
Time passes day by day.
But no one came to trouble Xiao Zhan again.
Indeed, the death of three powerful men in the Mahayana realm has touched the foundation of the Zhentu Kingdom.
There are probably not many powerful people that the leader of the Zhentu Kingdom can call upon.
On this day, Xiao Zhan took Du Yue and others walking in the mountains.
An old Taoist wearing a blue robe suddenly appeared in the forest ahead.
Seeing Xiao Zhan and others approaching, the old Taoist stood up slowly, stretched out his hand, and a blood-red long sword flew from a cave on the opposite mountainside, and he held it tightly.
He looked at Xiao Zhan with an indifferent expression and spoke slowly:
"Master Xiao Feng,
This poor guy is so polite. "
Xiao Zhan smiled:
"These days, there aren't many Taoist priests as polite as you."
"Your sword is pretty good. Do you want to fight me?"
