"Brother Headmaster, something bad is going on."
"The lower sects of the three Penglai Islands rioted together. The scale was so large that the law enforcement disciples could not stop it. They have already surrounded Mirage Mountain."
"The Shangzong's magic circle has been temporarily activated to keep them out. Please let the senior master decide how to deal with it specifically."
In the Penglai Headmaster's Cave, a slender Taoist priest with a goatee and dark complexion was looking at Taoist Cangsheng with a somewhat troubled expression.
This person is Taoist Canghong who is in charge of the affairs of the Penglai Three Islands in the Penglai Sect. The three islands are at the foot of Mirage Mountain and have always been calm, so he has always been idle in terms of mountain gate affairs.
I didn't want to suddenly encounter a big wave today.
Headmaster Penglai has not shown up for a long time, and everyone thought he was in seclusion. Taoist Canghong finally knocked on the door of the cave, only to find that the head master was missing an arm. He was immediately shocked and speechless.
Taoist Cang Sheng just shook his head and told him not to ask any more questions and let him tell his own story. Then Taoist Cang Hong told about the riots on the three islands of Xia Zong.
"Three Islands have always been peaceful, why did it suddenly explode today?" Taoist Cangsheng's face was calm and calm, but he was not panicked.
"I immediately sent people to investigate. There was some disturbance earlier today, and someone took the opportunity to instigate..." Taoist Canghong waved his hand and cast a scene of light and shadow, "It didn't take long, I used bright light to shadow It recreates the situation.”
At first, it was just a young boy from the lower sect who was caught stealing spiritual plants. The disciples of the law enforcement team prepared to execute him in public. This was a common thing in the Three Islands. If the law is not strict, theft of spiritual plants will become widespread and it will be impossible to prevent it.
But at this moment, two young men suddenly came out and knocked down the law enforcement disciples. Then one of them started an impassioned speech...
Although his face is pitch black, with his delicate and handsome facial features, resplendent tongue, and seventh-level talent, there is no other person except Chu Liang of the Shushan Sect.
Seeing this figure appear, Taoist Cang Sheng's pupils shrank obviously.
When the light and shadow ended, Chu Liang raised his arms and shouted, calling on the lower sect members of Fanghu Immortal Island to go to the other two Immortal Islands and unite everyone to riot.
"I don't know whose pass they used to enter Fanghu Island. They should have left by now. These two people were not seen in the rioting crowd." Taoist Canghong continued.
"Chu Liang..." Taoist Cangsheng muttered in a deep voice.
"Brother Headmaster, it doesn't matter who that person is for the time being. How to quell the Three Islands Rebellion is what matters now!" Taoist Canghong reminded him quickly when he saw that he seemed to be more interested in Chu Liang.
"The chaos in the lower sect has not happened before." Taoist Cangsheng slowly uttered one word, "Kill."
"Ah?" Taoist Canghong seemed a little surprised by this, but he was a little confused: "How many people are going to kill..."
"Of course I will kill the two law enforcement team disciples." Cang Sheng replied calmly, "We must be gentle towards the sect members and not suppress them."
"This..." Taoist Canghong hesitated for a moment, "You want to kill the disciples of the Shangzong?"
He knew the reason why it couldn't be suppressed. Penglai was already being watched by all the immortal sects, and this time it was an outsider who instigated the incident. Even if the riot could be suppressed forcefully, it would definitely be publicized, and any wrongdoing would be exposed by others. Use it to make an article.
And that speech has been heard by the people of Xizong. If they kill people, how many people will be enough? If you kill too little, I'm afraid it will only arouse the rebellious spirit of the lower sect and add to the chaos. If you kill too much, where can you find work for so many low-level practitioners?
only……
The law enforcement team of the Shang Sect were all his direct descendants. The two law enforcement disciples who were defeated by Xu Ziyang, the people of the Shang Sect did not dare to kill anyone even if they rioted. They were later rescued by people sent by Cang Hong.
Now that Cang Sheng wanted to kill the disciples of the upper sect in order to appease the lower sect, he was inevitably hesitant.
"Two law enforcement team disciples were unreasonable and recklessly killed, causing such a catastrophe. They should be killed as a warning to others." The people continued: "The new laws for the Penglai Islands have long been under discussion, and they will be implemented legally this time. The next three If the Shimashima Sect is in urgent need of spiritual plants to save their lives, they can contact the law enforcement team to pick them up. If you work in Mishima for a certain period, you can also exchange spiritual plants for yourself. How to implement it needs to be discussed again, and let Mishima select several representatives of the Shimonaka Sect. Come talk.”
Taoist Canghong nodded while listening, but after hearing this he frowned and said: "But in this way, the loss of spiritual plants will be greatly increased, will it affect the cultivation of Shangzong..."
Cangsheng glanced at him and said in a deep voice: "Don't think that no one knows what you and your law enforcement team are doing. The spiritual plants you have secretly sold over the years are enough to supply the three islands of Xia Zong. From now on, you guys will dare to If someone commits theft while in prison, he will be guilty of the same crime as the people of the lower sect."
"Brother Headmaster..." Taoist Canghong was shocked when he heard this and quickly stood up, looking guilty.
The reason why he was able to obtain the rich and peaceful area of Xiazong Sandao was because he and Cangsheng Taoist had the same master, and they were considered the direct disciples of the headmaster. Once he loses the trust of the people, he will not be able to compete with other powerful elders in terms of strength.
Fortunately, Taoist Cangsheng didn't mean to pursue the matter further, but looked to the west with a hint of amusement.
"I just don't know how to deal with you yet..." Cang Sheng murmured, "I didn't expect that you would find a way to kill yourself."
…
"Ah sneeze——"
Chu Liang rubbed his nose, thinking that maybe the people from Penglai were scolding him. When this incident breaks out, it will inevitably end with the Shangzong giving in, which is equivalent to causing huge losses to the Penglai Sect in disguise.
Of course, the most important thing is justice.
The glory of the Penglai Sect over the years was earned by sucking the blood of the entire East China Sea. Being too far away from the immortal world and too close to Penglai, the lower sect would have been miserable, otherwise it would not have been so easy to mobilize.
On this side, Chu Liang had already hidden his merits and fame, and the three of them returned to Zhongshan Jianlu with two bronze talismans.
Xu Ziyang first sacrificed the divine copper of crossing the tribulation again, and then took out the copper talisman that had been combined into one and placed it in front of the divine copper.
call out--
The moment the copper talisman appeared, the divine copper of transcending tribulation suddenly emitted a dense light, and the copper talisman flew up on its own, and submerged into the shining divine copper of transcending tribulation.
The divine copper, which cannot be smelted by the strongest samadhi divine fire in the world, changed for the first time. The moment the divine copper was opened, an endless prehistoric aura leaked out, accompanied by indescribable sorrow.
That's the regret of being separated for tens of thousands of years between lovers.
And Xu Ziyang, who was standing at the front, felt an emotion... that was gratitude.
Suddenly a ray of light from the Tribulation-Ending Divine Bronze floated to Xu Ziyang's chest. He stretched out his hand to take it. It was a fragment of the Divine Copper that was more than three feet long.
The remaining divine copper shrank into a small bronze talisman and came to Chu Liang.
"Me?" Chu Liang was stunned for a moment, "What are you doing?"
"The sacred copper has spirit..." Chen Buyan mused: "Part of what he gave to Xu Shaoxia was to thank him for completing the agreement. And the main body should follow you because he feels that it is possible to find opportunities. It is not just people who are seeking transcendence in practice, but also tools The same is true for spirits. There have always been spiritual artifacts that have the ability to choose their master."
"This..." Chu Liang looked at Xu Ziyang.
If it were anyone else, he would definitely be happy to accept it. But this Tribulation Divine Copper is Xu Ziyang's harvest, so naturally he can't keep it for himself.
"Just accept it." Xu Ziyang smiled and said: "We are exploring the Jiuli Secret Realm together, and we should share the gains with each other. Giving me three feet of divine copper is enough for my efforts."
When Chu Liang heard what he said, he put away the bronze talisman.
Although this kind of artifact-level material is extremely precious, you still need to wait for the opportunity. Even if you keep it in your hand, it's actually of no use.
Instead, Chen Buyan looked at the three feet of bronze in Xu Ziyang's palm and said, "If it were the complete Tribulation Copper, I would definitely not dare to try to refine it. But with these three feet of divine copper, I can try to forge a sword for you. "
The three of them were delighted when they heard this, "Thank you very much, Master Chen."
"It's just that I still need to think carefully about how to refine such top-quality materials." Master Chen frowned and said, "I have to look for inspiration."
"Senior!" Chu Liang grabbed Chen Buyan's sleeve and said sincerely, "Is inspiration so hard to come by?"
If this old man is to find inspiration, it will take ten days and a half. Who knows how long it will take, but he still has to be urged.
"You don't understand the ancient method of forging swords..." Chen Buyan sighed, "It's very difficult."
Chu Liang stuffed a jade slip into his hand and said firmly, "What about trying hard?"
"Ahem..." Chen Buyi checked his spiritual sense and coughed, "Don't worry, Young Master Chu, I promise to do my best."
Chu Liang stuffed another jade slip and said, "Isn't it true that inspiration is something that you already have?"
Chen Buyan raised his eyebrows, his eyes changed and he said: "I feel that inspiration is very close, let me think about it a little..."
Chu Liang stuffed the last jade slip and said seriously: "If not, how about we speed up the inspiration?"
Chen Buyan raised his eyebrows, "I thought of it! This is how the divine copper of transcending tribulations should be refined. I thought of it! Disciples, start the furnace and forge swords!"
A group of disciples over there shouted and responded. Master Chen was refining his sword, which was a rare event in the Zhongshan Sword House. The entire Sword House immediately started working in full swing.
On the contrary, Chu and Liang were the most idle people because they could not help, so they watched from the sidelines.
"It's Master Chen who made the divine copper again. This time it's at least one of the top fifty divine swords in Wanbaolu!" Lin Bei asked Xu Ziyang: "Elder brother, have you decided what name you want to give this sword? "
Xu Ziyang shook his head and said, "I haven't thought about it yet."
Lin Bei thought: "Since this is a sword given by the spirit of Bronze City, why not call it... Bronze City Sword?"
Okay.
Why don't you call it Wuba Sword?
Chu Liang was about to stop him when he heard Xu Ziyang say: "If you say so, I think Qingcheng Sword is better."
…
The wind blows over Zhanling Mountain, and there is a buzz of people.
Zhang Chen silently walked up to the mottled and simple high platform with a calm face.
As a martial arts sect in Zhanling Mountain, the most important thing on the mountain is the arena. The largest arena in this mountain gate is called the referee stage. This simple and crude method will be used whenever there is a conflict within the door and the arbitration is unclear.
Singled out.
Big fists make sense.
Today, Zhang Chen stepped onto the tribunal for the same reason. Since the conflict between Yushan Academy and Zhan Lingshan is unclear, let's fight one on one. It's just that the stakes in this battle are huge. It's not just about the outcome of the two people, it's also about the ten places of Zhan Lingshan and Yushan Academy. The loser will withdraw.
Opposite Zhang Chen is a man wearing a thick cloak, with muscles as muscular as an iron tower. The broad face has leopard eyebrows ringing the eyes, a brown beard, and an equally solemn expression.
Qiu Fenglie, the leader of Zhanling Mountain of this generation, is known as a strong man in the northwest. As the most powerful person among all the Zhanling Mountain Lords in history, his energy actually far exceeds his own realm.
Many of the generals from the Nine Provinces of the Yu Dynasty went to Zhanling Mountain to practice. Although Qiu Fengli is no longer in the court, his status in the military is definitely not lower than that of any current general.
Because of this, Zhan Lingshan's competition for ten places actually has strong support from the military. It's just because the trend of the court is different, so we can't say it openly.
It can be said that apart from Tai Sui Dao of the Tianxing series, who has the upper hand due to more votes, Zhan Lingshan has the greatest hope.
As for Yushan Academy, it’s more like they’re here to make up the numbers.
So this time the bet seems fair, but in fact it is unfair. But Zhang Chen entered the seventh realm for the first time, and his strength was obviously much weaker. That's why Qiu Fengli agreed that he should use his small skills to make a big difference this time.
"Master Qiu Shan." Zhang Chen took the lead in giving a junior salute, "I'm offended."
"You don't need to talk about so many etiquettes, just let your horse come over." Qiu Fenglie took a step forward, shook his shoulders, and his big cloak fluttered, revealing a dragon scale armor!
As he flashed his armor, waves of terrifying coercion struck Zhang Chen, and there was no room to breathe in the entire arena.
Behind Qiu Fengli stood a group of martial arts practitioners from Zhanlingshan and Tiangangmen. At this moment, they all showed their teeth and claws and cheered. Behind Zhang Chen were a group of Confucian practitioners such as Shenglong Academy and Junzi Hall. They looked a little more civilized, but most of them were secretly worried about Zhang Chen.
"Please enlighten me." Zhang Chen was calm and did not take action first.
"Hmph." Qiu Fengli snorted.
Although he was indeed wary of this young man, as soon as he stood on the ring, his strong self-confidence honed in hundreds of battles immediately filled his heart, and his momentum completely overwhelmed the opponent.
Bang——
Qiu Fengli's left foot stepped heavily, and his figure disappeared instantly. When he reappeared, he was already above Zhang Chen's head.
Most practitioners of martial arts prove the Tao through force, and advance rapidly in the early stage. After reaching the seventh level, due to lack of understanding, it is difficult to understand the Tao, and their strength will always suffer.
But Qiu Fenglie is an outlier among them. As a senior seventh level expert, he has comprehended nearly ten avenues, most of which have nothing to do with martial arts practice.
If he is not a warrior, he is only slightly stronger. But combined with his status as a warrior, his wisdom and understanding are worthy of being called a peerless genius.
Just like a scholar coming from a family where everyone is illiterate, it is always much more difficult.
The punch he landed on Zhang Chen's head came with the sound of fierce wind and thunder!
The avenue of yin wind is extinct, the avenue of yang thunder is in the sky.
The power of the two paths converged in one place, and Zhang Chen would be beaten into a pulp with one punch. No mercy would be shown in any attack! This blow will kill!
But Zhang Chen didn't even raise his head, or in other words, he didn't have time to raise his head. The speed of a peak warrior in the seventh realm was still extremely fast for someone in the same realm.
But he didn't need to use his eyes to see. The moment Qiu Fengli disappeared from sight, he knew that he was bound to be close to him.
Seeing that Zhang Chen still didn't dodge, but was chatting with thunder, he suddenly shouted: "Back off!"
With this sound, Qiu Fengli's figure involuntarily fell backwards and retreated more than ten feet away.
This is……
There was an uproar on and off the field. Immortal magic and words followed? !
Zhang Chen was indeed good at this immortal technique in the past, but now that he has reached the seventh level, everyone uses Dao Dao to fight, and the effect of the immortal technique is minimal. Especially since Qiu Fengli's cultivation level was higher than him, there was no chance that it would work.
Why are his words and actions so powerful?
Just when everyone was surprised, Zhang Chen suddenly said again: "Retreat!"
At the second word "retreat", Qiu Fengli's body involuntarily jumped backward again, retreated more than ten feet, and was about to fall under the ring. He relied on his powerful spiritual will to forcefully fight against that will, and then he barely managed to put one foot heavily on the edge of the ring to stabilize himself.
Fortunately, he was not defeated. The further the distance between the words and the spell, the greater the reduction in power. At this distance, Zhang Chen must not be able to affect him anymore.
But the two sounds he made before could affect him, which already confused Qiu Fengli very much.
But soon he knew the answer.
Zhang Chen raised his halberd and raised a white scroll in the air, a ball of brilliant light like stars!
"This is..." The martial arts practitioners behind Qiu Fengli all showed extremely shocked expressions, "A broken book?!"
Yes, they didn't know what this magic weapon was, but they were surprised that an ancient book with torn pages had such spirituality, it was so terrifying.
"..." The Confucian practitioners behind Zhang Chen were speechless for a while, but Deputy Mountain Chief Shen Tuyang said loudly: "A bunch of uneducated people, this is called a fragment of the righteousness scroll!"
"Hiss—" the martial arts practitioners over there took a breath of cold air, "It's actually the remaining part of the Righteousness Volume!"
Shentu Yang couldn't help but rolled his eyes, "Looking at you like that, you don't know what it is, do you?"
The martial arts practitioners looked at each other in confusion, and looked at each other with guilty consciences. It seemed that they were told by him.
In fact, this is not an unknown thing. Three thousand years ago, the Zhengqi Scroll has been the most precious treasure of Confucianism. There was no Wanbaolu at that time, but the Scroll of Righteousness was almost one of the top ten artifacts in the world, and it was the only one among the artifacts that did not come from heaven.
It was the deathbed handwriting of Half-Saint Huo Xiang, the promoter of Confucianism, which summarized the essence of Half-Saint's life. Scholars of later generations can condense the righteousness of the righteousness to add spirituality to the righteousness scroll. It has been accumulated for many years to have the power of the artifact.
However, during the demon-god rebellion that year, the leader of the Confucian sect was killed, and the righteousness scroll was destroyed by the demon-god of the ninth realm, and his whereabouts were unknown for a time.
Last year, Zhang Chen unexpectedly found the righteousness scroll while exploring a secret realm. Although it was broken, its spirituality was still extremely powerful. It was precisely because of his understanding of the remaining chapters of the Zhengqi Scroll that he was able to understand the Dao of Zhengqi so quickly.
It was also with this treasure that he had the confidence to overcome the huge gap in cultivation and challenge Qiu Fengli, who had been famous for many years.
Now it seems that the power of the remaining chapters of the Zhengqi Volume is indeed great. With the blessing of this magic weapon, his words and actions are simply irresistible.
Of course, the righteousness scroll and the righteousness path destined him to only do justice. If he wants to use this method to order others to do something that goes against the right path, he will immediately be counterattacked by the avenue and the magic weapon.
A decent person like Qiu Fengli can only drive them away, but cannot kill them.
Although there are such taboos, for Zhang Chen who can be recognized by the Righteous Dao, it is actually his act of complying with his own heart, and it is not a restriction.
Looking at Qiu Fenglie, who was standing on the edge of the ring, already crumbling, Zhang Chen said without hesitation for the third time: "Retreat!"
good evening.
