"Clang, clang, clang!"
The sound of bells echoed in this space, and the middle-aged man's will was constantly shaken. In the end, only one voice echoed in his mind, "Follow Pudu Cihang, save the world and be compassionate!"
Finally, his memory was tampered with, and his pale face showed a pious look. He clasped his hands and chanted, "Follow Pudu Cihang, save the world and be compassionate!"
"Follow Pudu Cihang, save the world and spread mercy!" At the same time, the blue soul fire in the eyes of hundreds of thousands of skeleton Yin soldiers silent in the ground flashed together, and the same idea was conveyed.
With so many Yin soldiers and a Ghost Emperor, it would be a pity to kill them. It was just right to convert them with the Selfless Brahma Sound to avoid any trouble.
"I see you, Your Majesty." After his memory was tampered with, the middle-aged man naturally became Su Ming's subordinate. However, in this place, besides a ghost at the Ghost Emperor level, Su Ming was also a little curious about his identity. Although He knew that this was the ancient battlefield where the Great Zhou Dynasty established the world.
But too many people died here, and the Great Zhou Dynasty later sealed this place. Therefore, even Xuanjing Division did not know the situation here. If he had not come in today to take a look, he would not have known that a soul-level ghost was born here.
"What is your identity and when did you achieve the realm of the soul?"
"Lord Qi, my name is Chen Xuan. He was the king of Zhao in the previous dynasty. He led the soldiers of Da Chu in a decisive battle with Da Zhou. They were destroyed in one battle and his bones were buried here. Later, because of the remaining dragon energy in my body, I stepped into The Ghost Dao came into contact with the people of the Demon Sect again, and they opened a small gap in the formation and attracted the spiritual energy, and then they reached the realm of the soul not long ago."
"The former King Zhao?" Su Ming was slightly startled. It took more than five hundred years to cultivate the realm of Yuanshen. It was indeed a gift. Of course, this was also because the emperors of the previous dynasty were extinct, and all the remaining shadows of luck fell on them. On him, otherwise he would not have become a soul in such a short period of time.
"Do you know anyone from the Demon Cult?"
"Your Majesty, I have had contact with Mo Lihai, the Holy Son of the Demon Sect, and have cooperated with him." Chen Xuan replied.
"Mo Li Hai? What is he looking for you for?" Su Ming raised his eyebrows, a little surprised. He didn't expect to hear the words Mo Li Hai from him.
Could it be that Chen Faxuan's death had something to do with the Demon Cult?
With the Demon Sect's style of conduct, it might be possible that Chen Faxuan was just Nascent Soul Dzogchen. If the Demon Sect was determined to deal with him, how could he escape?
Moreover, ordinary forces simply do not have the ability to cover the sky with one hand to deceive the Great Zhou Dynasty. What's more, Chen Faxuan, as the master of the Xuanjing Division, even if he is not a Yuanshen monk, must have many life-saving means. After thinking about it, only the Demon Sect has this Ability to ambush him.
Su Ming shook his head secretly and stopped thinking about this. Even if he guessed that it was the Demon Cult, so what?
Even if the old emperor knew about it, could he still take revenge on the Demon Cult? Even though Da Zhou had accumulated some knowledge during his peak period, he was still powerless against the Demon Cult.
If you want to have a head-on confrontation with the Demonic Cult, it is like hitting an egg against a stone.
"Come with me, this place is no longer suitable for you." Su Ming glanced at the middle-aged man, and then turned his gaze to the red moon in the sky.
Even if there is a gap in the underworld under the ground that can continuously seep out Yin Qi, it is not enough to support the cultivation of so many Yin soldiers. After a while, the earth veins here will be exhausted. If it were not limited by the environment, the Yin soldiers here would Cultivation is more than that.
After the words fell, Su Ming stretched out his hand to grab it, and a powerful force rose from the ground. Then the entire space began to vibrate violently, and cracks appeared in a radius of hundreds of miles, isolating it from the surroundings.
At the same time, a formation diagram flew out of his storage ring to collect all the Yin soldiers underground. Upon seeing this, Chen Xuan quickly put away the Bone Throne. After doing this, the entire space began to slowly shrink and condensed into a grain. Dust fell on his palm.
Since he wants to take away these Yin soldiers, he should simply dig up all this land. The ancient battlefield contains a powerful evil spirit of soldiers. Coupled with these Yin soldiers, it is enough for him to refine a Yin soldier battle formation, and he can Protect the inner demons of Netherworld.
After taking away this land, there was only an empty shell of the formation left here. With a thought in Su Ming's mind, the formation shattered, and the three sect seals left on it were also shattered.
As the mark was broken, the three sects also knew what happened here. Although they had objections, they were suppressed by others. The news of Su Ming's entry into the northwest could not be hidden from others, but not from the people of the three sects. Moreover, he had never done anything to cover it up, so it was normal for him to be discovered. It is not difficult to destroy an ancient battlefield with his strength, which is why the three sects ignore it.
After that, Su Ming moved a large mountain from somewhere else and filled it up. Only then did this ancient battlefield come to an end. After doing this, he took Chen Xuan and disappeared.
······
"I didn't expect that Pudu Cihang would clean up the ancient battlefield. It's time for me to speed up my actions." Above the blood sea, Mo Lihai received the message and issued the order.
The disposal of that battlefield means that his original actions are in danger of being leaked, and it is not in his interest to stabilize the current situation of the Great Zhou Dynasty. What he wants to see is that the entire Great Zhou Dynasty quickly becomes chaotic, so that he can facilitate his arrangements. Chess piece, replace it.
······
After leaving the northwest, Su Ming came to a Buddhist temple.
It is a beautiful place with beautiful mountains and clear waters and towering ancient trees. A magnificent Buddhist temple is located in the mountains and forests. From a distance, you can see the tall Buddha statues and pagodas.
The air is filled with the faint scent of Buddhist incense. People come and go on the mountain road. From time to time, devotees come out of the temple, which is enough to see the strong incense in this temple.
However, the monks in the temple have fat heads and big ears, and even the loose monk robes cannot cover up their fat bodies. This temple is Lanruo Temple, and it is also the place where Grandma Shu slept.
When Grandma Shu was going through the catastrophe of the soul, she encountered a catastrophe. Her cultivation was completely destroyed, and the remaining true spirit fell on a locust tree behind Lanruo Temple.
And today, Su Ming also came here.
However, he did not enter through the main entrance but went directly to the Tallinn at the back, where there was a tall locust tree.
The thick tree trunk and the green locust leaves exuded a vitality. At the same time, Su Ming also saw the sleeping tree grandmother in the trunk. Her true spirit was broken and she was constantly absorbing Yin Qi to recover from her injuries. It was just her The injury was so severe that even the locust tree, which absorbed the yin energy from the ground every day, could not wake her up.
The reason why this locust tree grows so luxuriantly is because it is washed and nourished by yin energy, so it grows so tall. However, in Su Ming's eyes, this locust tree was about to become a spirit.
However, there is a true spirit of a Yuanshen monk in its body, which may be swallowed up the first moment it is born with spiritual intelligence.
"Since I'm here, let me help you." Su Ming looked at the sleeping true spirit of Grandma Tree, carved a spirit gathering array on the trunk, and then sent some mana to repair her true spirit. Suddenly, her broken body The true spirit has recovered a lot and is gradually showing a tendency to wake up.
The monks in Lanruo Temple were all drunkards, full of evil thoughts, full of greed, anger and delusion. Moreover, at a glance, he could see that many of them still had blood on their bodies, and they were obviously carrying human lives.
Even if Grandma Shu revives and kills them all, Su Ming will not regret it.
At this moment, there was a crack deep in the ground of Lanruo Temple, and rich Yin Qi was constantly seeping out of it. Suddenly, a shadow flew out of it and slowly rose to the ground.
The person who came was none other than the clone of Su Ming’s inner demon.
Since the golden cicada escaped from its shell in southern Xinjiang, the inner demons have recovered their cultivation in the land of the netherworld. Thanks to the five ghost kings fighting for years, the underworld has no shortage of negative emotions, and most of the evil ghosts, soldiers, and generals are evil ghosts and evil souls. The place is suitable for inner demons to recover their cultivation.
In a short period of time, he returned to the realm of Yuanying again, and he only had to wait for another retreat to enter the realm of Yuanshen.
Su Ming took out a pitch-black formation disk from the storage ring and handed it to the inner demon clone, and said, "This is the Yin Soldier Battle Formation. There are 100,000 elite Yin Soldiers in it, which is enough for you to protect the sect."
The inner demon probed his spiritual thoughts into the formation disk. In the space of the formation disk, Yin soldiers wearing broken armor were falling into deep sleep. However, the energy on their bodies was long and far-reaching, connected with each other, and integrated with each other. Most of these Yin soldiers are in the Golden Core realm.
Seeing these Yin soldiers, even if the inner demon has treacherous thoughts, a smile can't help but appear on his face, "With this thing, I won't be afraid of anyone making trouble when I break through to the soul."
After taking away the hundreds of thousands of Yin soldiers, Su Ming invested a lot of heavenly materials and earthly treasures. Anyway, he was in charge of the Xuanjing Division's treasury, and he had too many heavenly materials and earthly treasures, but these things were useless to him. It was of no use to the Yuanshen monk, so he simply used one third to nourish these Yin soldiers.
These Yin soldiers have been in the ancient battlefield for five hundred years, and they all died on the battlefield before they were alive. They were nourished by the military energy and evil energy there. It was only because there was not enough Yin energy that their cultivation stagnated.
And Su Ming ordered them to kill each other, and used the method of raising gu to select a hundred thousand Yin soldiers. These were the real elites. In addition, they had arrays made from ancient battlefields. If they formed a military array, they would not be very powerful. Small.
Of course, if possible, Su Ming would naturally want to enter the Yin Division to protect the inner demon's clone, but the rules between the underworld and the Yang world are too different. The higher the cultivation level, the greater the rejection. The soul monks in the Yang world are in the heavenly world. There is a mark left in the rules, and there is no way to break through the rules of the underworld and set foot in the Netherworld.
In the same way, the soul monks in the underworld will also be restricted by the rules of the upper world when they step into the upper world.
This is also the reason why Emperor Wu of Wei occupied Mang Mountain in the Yang Realm, but could only occupy one-fifth of the territory in the Underworld. He only sent clones, and even so, it took a lot of effort to send them to the Netherworld.
Therefore, Su Ming did not let Chen Xuan enter the Yin Division together because he simply could not enter.
For the inner demon, it doesn't matter whether he becomes a soul in the world of heaven or a soul in the underworld, because the inner demon can take on thousands of incarnations and reside in the human body. This is where the inner demon is strongest.
Due to the death of the gods, the land of the underworld has no order and rules, and is very chaotic. It is filled with all kinds of negative emotions, which is most suitable for cultivating inner demons.
What's more, the land of the Yin Division involves the secret of reincarnation. If the inner demons can conquer the ghost emperors of all parties and rebuild the rules of the Yin Division, what a merit it is. Moreover, taking charge of the Yin Division and becoming the Lord of Reincarnation represents great luck, even if Even Su Ming was jealous, which was why Emperor Wu of Wei paid a huge price to enter the underworld.
After handing the formation disk to the inner demon clone, Su Ming turned around and left.
······
Go to the capital.
Since the prince took over the country, the court had fallen into a strange calm, but everyone knew that this was just the calm before the storm.
Although the prince oversees the country, the power in the court is still controlled by King Qi and the prince. At this time, they do not dare to act rashly.
The most important thing is that the old emperor still holds all the military power in the capital, whether it is the guards in the palace or the forbidden troops outside the city, they are all firmly in his hands.
Emperor Shenwu knew very well that once he released a little military power, he would most likely abdicate immediately. Therefore, he held on to military power very hard, and perhaps he would not let go of his power until the moment of his death.
Therefore, in this situation, the court seemed to be stable, but the prince and the King of Qi were secretly competing. Their goal was not in the court, but for military power.
Recently, the whole capital has been filled with an atmosphere of tension and anxiety, and even the people at the lowest level are vaguely aware of the impending storm.
Of course, the competition for military power between the prince and the king of Qi was all in secret. Whether it was infiltrating the palace guards or wooing the imperial army, they were extremely covert.
For the prince, he himself occupies the upper orthodox position. If he has military power, he will be invincible. Even if the King of Qi rebels, he can suppress him.
For the King of Qi, he had the support of the Queen. If he had military power, once the old emperor died, he could lead his soldiers to control the imperial city and carry out palace changes.
At that time, once the prince dies, the throne will naturally fall on him, so military power is the only thing that can make him come back.
Summer is approaching in the blink of an eye, and the weather is getting hotter and hotter. Although Emperor Shenwu has been living in the Yangxin Hall and does not review memorials, he knows everything about what happened in the court. After all, he has been the emperor for decades. The emperor, it is impossible for the people below to deceive him.
Moreover, he also has some secret guards from the Xuanjing Division. This is an army composed of monks with extremely powerful combat effectiveness.
But even though he knew everything clearly, he couldn't interfere in anything when he was in the palace. At this point, it was no longer easy for him to interfere. The palms and backs of his hands were full of flesh. Both the King of Qi and the Crown Prince could inherit the throne, and Because of his previous actions, he also lost his prestige in front of the courtiers.
Of course, he could also directly issue an edict to imprison King Qi, but in this case, regardless of whether King Qi would make a desperate move and directly rebel, even the prince's side would increase in power and form an overwhelming situation. When the ministers reach a consensus and force him to abdicate, how will he deal with it.
Therefore, unless he dies, he will never hand over the throne.
