In the blink of an eye, Xiao Zhan has been in this small town for more than two months. In the past two months, Xiao Zhan has been guiding Du Yue and others in their practice.
Even Wu Nan received guidance from Xiao Zhan. This made the strength of Du Yue and others improve by leaps and bounds. Han Xiao slept most of the time every day, and Xiao Zhan couldn't stand it any longer, so he forced him to practice for two hours every day.
Under such circumstances, Han Xiao successfully entered the Nascent Soul Realm and directly reached the middle stage of the Nascent Soul Realm.
Liu Yong's strength has also improved a small level, reaching the middle stage of Nascent Soul Realm. Du Yue and Du Hao have also reached the Great Perfection of the Dan Formation Realm.
Wu Nan's strength also improved by a small level, reaching the Great Perfection of the Dan Formation Realm. Most of the time, Xiao Zhan just wandered around the town and mingled with the residents.
Many people know that Mr. Xiao came to the town and helped many residents treat their illnesses and injuries. He was a great benevolent man.
Of course, if these residents in the town knew that four Mahayana realm experts from the Zhentu Kingdom had died at the hands of Xiao Zhan, what would their expressions be like?
Xiao Zhan did not stay at his residence, and he was not worried that people from the Zhentu Kingdom would arrest Du Yue and others to threaten him.
Of course, it is not that Zhen Wuwei, the leader of Zhentu Kingdom, and those strong men have not thought of this method.
But in the end, they still didn't dare to do it. Because they dare not imagine what the consequences would be.
Maybe Xiao Zhan would slaughter the entire imperial city in a rage. As time passed, the disguised Imperial Guards who were watching Xiao Zhan in the town also became familiar with Xiao Zhan.
Xiao Zhan often greeted them, and sometimes helped them treat their illnesses and injuries. Once, he even gathered them together to give them guidance on their practice.
At the same time, Haoyang Empire, Imperial City. In the meeting hall. Tuoba Hongwu sat on the throne.
A large number of strong men sat on both sides of the hall. All civil and military officials also stood in the main hall. Qian Qianjiu, a military general, cupped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, Xiao Zhan, the leader of the tenth peak of the Xiuyuan Sect, first killed three powerful Mahayana warriors from the Zhentu Kingdom."
"Then he killed Deng Xianyun, the strongest man in Zhentu Kingdom, in the imperial city of Zhentu Kingdom."
"Now, the morale of Zhentu's soldiers on the border is very low."
"This is an excellent opportunity for us. I am willing to lead troops to support the border and attack the Zhentu Kingdom!"
"We must not waste the excellent opportunity created by Master Xiao!" Tuoba Hongwu said with a smile on his face.
During this time, he was smiling in his dreams. No matter what Xiao Zhan thought, he killed four Mahayana realm experts from the Zhentu Kingdom, and one of them was the strongest person in the Zhentu Kingdom.
This is a great good thing for the Haoyang Empire. It can be said that Zhentu Country's top combat power has been reduced by nearly half.
If the entire army were to suppress the situation at this time, they would definitely be able to capture the Zhentu Kingdom in one fell swoop. At that time, Zhentu Country will completely become the territory of Haoyang Empire.
But Tuoba Hongwu said nothing. Zhentu Country is not the only country surrounding the Haoyang Empire. I don't know how many forces are waiting for both the Haoyang Empire and the Zhentu Kingdom to suffer losses.
If we launch an all-out attack now, although we can defeat the Zhentu Kingdom, the strength of the Haoyang Empire will definitely be reduced by less than half.
At that time, it will definitely be attacked by other countries. Tuoba Hongwu still has to wait for someone. Not long after, a strong wind blew by.
An old man wearing a black robe appeared at the door of the hall. Seeing this person, everyone in the hall, except Emperor Tuoba Hongwu, clasped their fists and bowed: "I've seen Master Murong!" That's right, the person who came was none other than Murong Xuantian, the master of Xiuyuan Sect!
Not only that, behind Murong Xuantian, there were nine strong men following. These nine people are the other nine peak masters of Xiuyuan Sect.
However, Gu Chen, the leader of the first peak, and Ye Qingcheng, the leader of the fourth peak, both frowned slightly, wondering what they were thinking.
After Murong Xuantian and the nine peak masters sat down, Tuoba Hongwu smiled and said: "Master Murong, Master Xiao killed four powerful Mahayana realm masters in the Zhentu Kingdom in the Zhentu Kingdom. You must have known about this. "
"Master Xiao has made such a huge contribution to our Haoyang Empire, so naturally we cannot waste this great opportunity."
"What do you think, Sect Master Murong?" Murong Xuantian smiled: "Master Xiao is a friendly person, takes the world's common people as his own responsibility, and has no desires or desires. It is already difficult for him to go deep into the Zhentu Kingdom this time."
"What's more, Master Xiao is surrounded by several of the most promising disciples of our Xiuyuan Sect."
"For their safety, I plan to ask Peak Master Xiao to come back with a few disciples." Tuoba Hongwu smiled.
"Master Xiao Feng cares about the common people. Before the Zhentu Kingdom is defeated, I believe he will not come back. With him in the Zhentu Kingdom, he can naturally intimidate the Zhentu Kingdom's royal family."
"Just kidding, is Sect Master Murong, tired of being the sect leader, planning to let Master Xiao come back to take over the position of sect leader of Xiuyuan Sect?" Murong Xuantian smiled: "This seems to be a good choice." Tuoba Hongwu laughed 'haha', and then his face became serious: "I plan to fully attack the Zhentu Kingdom."
"But several other countries are eyeing our Haoyang Empire, so naturally I can't mobilize too many troops."
"So, I hope that all the aristocratic families and sects in the empire will contribute." As soon as these words were said, an ancestor of the aristocratic family stood up and said: "My Gongshan Yun family is willing to contribute and send out One thousand disciples and ten clan elders." Tuoba Hongwu smiled and nodded: "Old Yun is interested." For a time, people from other aristocratic families and sects expressed their opinions one after another.
After all, Xiao Zhan had already killed four Mahayana realm experts from the Zhentu Kingdom. It would be the icing on the cake to make a contribution at this time, and it would also be recognized by Tuoba Hongwu.
Why not do it? Finally, Tuoba Hongwu looked at Murong Xuantian. Murong Xuantian said calmly: "Everyone is interested."
"In that case, I wish you all a good start."
"As for the Haoyang Empire, everyone can rest assured. As the Holy Sect that protects the country, Xiuyuan Sect will naturally protect the Haoyang Empire. Once people from other countries invade the Haoyang Empire, we Xiuyuan Sect will naturally not be able to sit back and watch. Ignore it." Tuoba Hongwu frowned: "Sect Master Murong."
"I still hope that Xiuyuan Sect can send strong men and disciples to fight in Zhentu Kingdom."
"I believe that with the leadership of Xiuyuan Sect's Peak Master and disciples, our losses can be minimized. This is something only Xiuyuan Sect can do." Murong Xuantian shook his head: "Our Xiuyuan Sect will not leave the Haoyang Empire Fighting is a rule passed down from ancient times."
"Sending Xiao to fight Master Xiao is already against the rules." After a moment of pause, Murong Xuantian nodded and said: "Then I will send a message to Master Xiao to ask him to stay in Zhentu Kingdom for the time being and cooperate with your attack."
"I believe that with the leadership of Master Xiao, our Haoyang Empire's army will be able to attack the imperial city of Zhentu Kingdom with overwhelming force."
"Your Majesty must also believe in Peak Master Xiao's ability." Tuoba Hongwu said expressionlessly: "Of course I believe in Peak Master Xiao's ability."
"In front of Sect Master Murong, if you have anything to say, I will say it directly." Murong Xuantian nodded expressionlessly: "Your Majesty, if you have anything to say, it doesn't matter." At this time, everyone in the hall held their breath. Take a breath.
Everyone can feel the tense atmosphere. Tuoba Hongwu spoke slowly: "Sect Master Murong, now in the Xiuyuan Sect, there is only one strong person in the Zhentu Kingdom, Master Xiao."
"If Xiuyuan Sect doesn't send others to go, Master Xiao will inevitably have too many thoughts in his heart."
"If someone whispers in Master Xiao's ears, perhaps Master Xiao will think that the sect master deliberately sent Master Xiao to the Zhentu Kingdom to die." As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall trembled.
They looked at Tuoba Hongwu's face and then at Murong Xuantian's face. Murong Xuantian chuckled: "Even I admire Peak Master Xiao's state of mind."
"He is not such a narrow-minded person." Tuoba Hongwu also suddenly smiled: "What the sect master said is that I am narrow-minded."
"But if Zhentu Country offers better conditions and gets some wind, Master Xiao may not be able to become Zhentu Country's support."
"Isn't Sect Master Murong worried?" Murong Xuantian shook his head and said with a smile: "I told you, even I admire Master Xiao's realm, he won't do this."
"I have great faith in Master Xiao's character." Tuoba Hongwu was silent for a few seconds, and then suddenly spoke again: "Sect Master Murong, have you ever thought about what we people in the Haoyang Empire would think."
"Do they think, Sect Master Murong, you are jealous that Master Xiao is stronger than you, and you are worried that he will come back to take your position as Sect Master, so you want Master Xiao to die in Zhentu Country?"
"Although I know that Sect Master Murong has absolutely no such idea, but who can cover the mouths of everyone in the world?" Murong Xuantian nodded: "Your Majesty is right. It seems that I still want Master Xiao to come back. Well, this will naturally prove that I have no intention of being jealous of Master Xiao."
"Master Xiao is stronger than me. This is a great event for our Xiuyuan Sect and the Haoyang Empire."
"It's not too late for me to be happy." The smile on Tuoba Hongwu's face could no longer be maintained. He threw off his sleeves, turned around and left the hall.
Seeing this scene, everyone in the hall fell silent. After all, over the long years, no matter who the emperor was, he had great respect for Xiuyuan Sect.
This kind of anger with the leader of Xiuyuan Sect has never happened before. But the powerful men from the aristocratic families and sects present were secretly happy.
Tuoba Hongwu dared to deliver goods to Murong Xuantian, which showed that the royal family was no longer afraid of Xiuyuan Sect. And if the Xiuyuan Sect really declines, other aristocratic families and sects will be able to rise completely.
In a few years, their power may not be as powerful as the Xiuyuan Sect and become the Haoyang Empire's Protector of the Holy Sect.
At that time, the arena and people of the Haoyang Empire will all promote their glory. Murong Xuantian's expression did not change.
As soon as he turned around, the nine peak masters of Xiuyuan Sect followed behind him. After leaving the imperial city, Murong Xuantian stopped, looked at Gu Chen and Ye Qingcheng and said, "Master Gu Peak, Master Ye."
"Both of you seemed to be in a bad mood all the way."
"Could it be that you also think that I sent Master Xiao to Zhentu Country on purpose, hoping that he would die?"
"But you have also seen that with Master Xiao's strength, no one in Zhentu Kingdom can hurt him."
"Moreover, Master Xiao has indeed shocked the Zhentu Kingdom."
"This shows that Peak Master Xiao made a very heroic choice to go to the Zhentu Kingdom." Seeing that Gu Chen and Ye Qingcheng didn't say anything, Murong Xuantian nodded: "Then Peak Master Gu and Master Ye, I would like to ask you to go to the Zhentu Kingdom." Tu Guo, tell Master Xiao to come back with a few disciples." Gu Chen nodded and looked at Ye Qingcheng again.
There was no emotion on Ye Qingcheng's face. She just nodded slightly. After a while, Ye Qingcheng and Gu Chen flew high into the sky and disappeared from the sight of Murong Xuantian and others.
Within the palace. Emperor Tuoba Hongwu looked at Ye Qingcheng and Gu Chen's flying figures and narrowed his eyes, wondering what he was thinking.
