Dong Chao was naked from the waist up, and the thick bundle of thorns on his back was covered with sharp thorns, which pricked his back with blood, leaving bright red blood spots wherever they passed.
His temples were gray, and although the muscles all over his body were bulging to show the strength of a warrior, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes and the fatigue in his eyes could not be concealed.
Li Yun looked at the Xuanwu Jiedushi Dong Chao in front of him with great interest. This legendary Dong Taigong had only been heard about but never seen with his own eyes. But now that he saw it, it was very similar to what he expected.
You can tell at a glance that he is a brave and capable veteran.
It's just that no matter how brave the general or the unruly warrior, he will have his own weaknesses.
Dong Chao's children are his weakness.
Li Yun said calmly:
"Then kill the nine tribes."
After saying that, he waved his hand, and several Jinyi guards around him immediately stepped forward and held down Dong Chao's arms and shoulders.
Dong Chao himself is a master of transformation, and naturally he will not be easily captured by a few ordinary warriors. However, he did not resist at this time, but sighed again and said:
"The emperor has great talent and great strategy, but his heart is filled with misfortune. The guilty minister is not as good as the last chance... The guilty minister's two children have committed a serious crime of treason. They cannot be forgiven. I only hope that the emperor can see that the guilty minister is guarding the Xuanwu Dao for the Wu Dynasty." , spare their lives, and the guilty minister is willing to sacrifice everything to atone for their sins..."
His trip was originally to negotiate terms with the emperor and save his two children.
I just answered the emperor's question, and I originally wanted to wait for the emperor to ask him what he would give in exchange.
Unexpectedly, the emperor didn't even ask, and directly threatened to kill the nine tribes, disrupting all the negotiation paths he had planned.
At this time, I had no choice but to negotiate the terms myself, and my momentum completely weakened.
At this time, Dong Chao also fully felt the unparalleled power of the emperor in front of him, which he had never felt from the previous Ling Emperor or the several puppet emperors that followed.
The imperial domineering spirit that belongs to the True Dragon Emperor!
Understanding that the emperor in front of him didn't care about the lives of their family at all, and he didn't think much of him as the Xuanwu Jiedushi, Dong Chao was completely defeated in terms of momentum and said quickly:
"The guilty minister is willing to lead the entire Xuanwu Dao to completely surrender to the imperial court. We, the Xuanwu Army, still have 50,000 elite soldiers. The guilty minister is willing to lead the Xuanwu Army as your Majesty's vanguard and block the edge of the coalition of nine surnames and ten clans."
"Jing'an Dao Jiedushi Wen Yuhai was the former subordinate of the guilty minister, and he looked up to the guilty minister. The guilty minister was willing to persuade Wen Yuhai to surrender and submit to the imperial court..."
Li Yun shook his head slightly and said:
"Xuanwu Dao and Jing'an Dao are originally the lands of our Martial Kingdom. How can we say that they belong to one another?"
How is it appropriate for you to dedicate your territory to me in exchange?
Dong Chao took a deep breath, took out a wooden box wrapped in silk and satin from his waist, held it in front of Li Yun with both hands and said:
"The guilty minister also has two treasures to offer to Your Majesty."
Miao Sheng and several other guards beside him immediately stepped forward, held down Dong Chao's hands, took the wooden box from his hands, turned to look at the emperor, and broke into a cold sweat.
Dong Chao, the governor of the Xuanwu Festival, was naked and carried a thorn to plead guilty at the beginning, which made them forget to search him again.
Now that the opponent is so close to the emperor, if they hide some strange weapons and get angry and hurt the emperor, then they will be guilty of an unforgivable crime.
Li Yun waved his hand and said:
"It doesn't matter."
Miao Sheng breathed a sigh of relief and presented the wooden box to Li Yun.
Li Yun casually opened the wooden box and immediately saw a jade plaque and a palm-sized glazed mirror inside.
This jade tablet exudes a strong aura of blood evil, and there are four seal characters on it: "Blood Spirit Ascension to Immortality".
There were also spiritual energy fluctuations coming out of the glazed mirror, but it was much more peaceful.
The moment he saw the jade token, Li Yun immediately thought of Xue Ning, whom he had killed before, and the jade token of the Blood Spirit Sect that he had obtained from Xu Ning and Yanran. However, the jade token that Dong Chao brought had another different.
As for the mirror, the pattern on it is very simple, and the aura is peaceful. It is obviously not the same as the jade plaque of the Blood Spirit Immortal Sect.
Then he waved his hand and said:
"Everyone, stand down."
When it comes to the Blood Spirit Immortal Sect and the so-called spiritual realm, it is natural to know as little as possible.
The surrounding guards received the order and immediately stepped back a hundred steps, forming a warning circle with only the emperor and Dong Chao in the circle.
After everyone retreated, Dong Chao said:
"Since the Emperor defeated Immortal Master Yanran, he should naturally understand the existence of the spiritual realm and the Immortal Sect... This jade token is the Immortal Ascension Token of the Blood Spirit Immortal Sect. The Blood Spirit Immortal Sect recognizes the token but not the person. Holding the token As long as you enter the spiritual realm, you can be selected into the Immortal Sect in the Immortal Ascension Conference of the Blood Spirit Immortal Sect, become a disciple of the Immortal Sect, and reach immortality in one step."
Then he sighed again and said:
"This card was obtained by my ancestor of the Dong family and has been passed down from generation to generation. However, no one knows how to use this Immortal Ascension Token, let alone the existence of the spiritual realm and the Blood Spirit Immortal Sect. It was not until my son Dong Yuan obtained this card that he By chance, I met Immortal Master Yanran who was traveling in this world, and I understood the secret... But at the beginning, my Dong family thought it was a fairy fate, but I didn't expect that it would turn out to be a catastrophe..."
After Dong Yuan explained in detail, Li Yun finally understood the whole story.
The ancestors of the Dong family once obtained this immortality token by chance. However, the Dong family had no contact with the existence of the immortal spirit realm at that time, so naturally they did not know how to use it.
In Dong Yuan's generation, he wore the Immortal Ascension Token as a talisman, but by chance he met Yan Ran, a member of the traveling Blood Spirit Immortal Sect.
Yanran originally wanted to treat them as blood food, but because of the Ascension Token, she let Dong Yuan go and made sacrifices to the Dong family. She planned to take Dong Yuan back to the spiritual realm after traveling.
During this process, the two also developed feelings for each other, and this celestial connection made Dong Yuan feel arrogant and consider himself the favored son of heaven.
Even ignoring the objections of his father, Xuanwu Jiedushi Dong Chao, he led the elite Xuanwu Army to the capital to rebel in the name of protecting his sister, the Queen Mother Dong.
In the end, he ended up as a prisoner.
All the elite members of the Xuanwu Army collapsed.
Dong Chao, the governor of Xuanwu Jiedu, was originally mature and prudent, and could even be said to be scheming, but he couldn't stop his own son Zai Tian from betraying him.
Looking at the Ascension Token in front of him, Li Yun's eyes flickered.
For ordinary people, this so-called immortality is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. After all, the current cultivation of immortality can be said to be a dimension-reducing blow to ordinary martial arts.
For him, if he wants to fully understand the so-called Blood Spirit Immortal Sect, this Immortal Ascension Token is also an opportunity.
It's just not enough.
This Immortal Ascension Token can certainly give Li Yun a chance to break into the Blood Spirit Immortal Sect, but he doesn't even know how to get to the spiritual realm, so this thing can be said to be dispensable.
Then he looked at the simple glazed mirror.
Xuanwu Jiedushi Dong Chao continued:
"Because of the information passed down from our ancestors, my Dong family has been very concerned about finding immortality over the years. We often search the mountains and rivers. We dug a lot of ancient tombs, and we did find something. This glazed mirror is The most precious thing among them, if you wear it often or hang it in your room, the sinner's cultivation speed will be greatly accelerated, so he can break through to the realm of transformation master at the age of fifty-six."
Speaking of this, Dong Chao's eyes flashed with pride.
The Grandmaster of Transformation Realm is the fourth level of super level. He broke through a few years earlier than En Hai, the leader of the eunuch party. It can even be said that if he was willing, he could kill En Hai a few years earlier and completely control the court. , there is no such thing as an eunuch at all.
Just because he knew about the existence of the spiritual realm and the Immortal Sect, he had always kept a low profile.
Li Yun took the glazed mirror in his hand and couldn't help being surprised.
He could feel that this glazed mirror was definitely a magic weapon. Just by holding it in his hand, he could feel a trace of spiritual energy leaking out.
Although this spiritual energy is very thin and incomparable to the fairy energy in heaven, it is definitely spiritual energy.
It is a spiritual energy that is rare in this vast world!
No wonder Dong Chao greatly improved his cultivation speed by relying on this mirror, which is equivalent to being nourished by spiritual energy all the time.
Li Yun's spiritual consciousness immediately reached out and entered the mirror.
The next moment, he couldn't help but feel awe-inspiring!
After exploring with his spiritual sense, he could feel that there was something inside this mirror. Although he couldn't see it clearly, it seemed like there was a world on the other side of the mirror.
At the same time, he could feel the broken jade mirror from heaven in his arms suddenly becoming hot and even starting to vibrate.
Li Yun immediately took out the broken jade mirror and put it together with the colored glass mirror.
He saw that the broken jade mirror that had been motionless until now emitted a soft halo of light, wrapping the glass mirror.
The next moment, the glass mirror seemed to melt, turning into a ball of silver water, flowing onto the broken jade mirror, plating an edge on the broken jade mirror.
Just gone?
Li Yun couldn't help but frowned, not understanding what this meant.
His spiritual consciousness continued to probe, this time going directly to the jade mirror.
The next moment, a halo of light was released from the jade mirror again, shining into the void, forming a palm-sized aperture in front of Li Yun in the blink of an eye.
Xuanwu Jiedushi Dong Chao, who was kneeling in front of Li Yun, was also a little stunned at this time. It was obvious that he had never thought that the glazed mirror could have such a change.
For so many years, he has regarded this glass mirror as a magic weapon that can increase the speed of cultivation.
Now it seems that the emperor knows how to use this glass mirror better than the original owner.
Looking around, you can see the scene on the other side through the aperture.
The other side of this aperture is not a martial arts arena, but a brand new place.
It seems to be a land with clear mountains and clear waters, the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers. You can faintly feel the spiritual energy coming out of it, and even a breeze blowing in the void.
Li Yun instantly understood where the opposite place was.
fairy land!
And that halo of light can be controlled by his spiritual consciousness at this time, and can be large or small, up to the size of a door.
This is a door between two realms that can enter the spiritual realm!
