Just when the world is looking at Yunzhou,
In fact, people in Yunzhou are also panic-stricken. Although there is no immortal sect coming to the world in Yunzhou, officials and rivers and lakes from all over the country are in panic, and they have asked the current leader of Yunzhou, Prince Wu, about the situation.
However, everyone in Prince Wu's Mansion was also at a loss.
After Tianwu King Gu Zhan went to Jianwang County, he never returned. Faced with the panic from all over the world, only Jianyi, as the special envoy of Tianwu King Gu Zhan, responded to the officials and the rivers and lakes in Yunzhou with just a few words:
Don't panic, I'll take action!
After this edict was sent out to various places, it failed to calm the panic everywhere, and even attracted a lot of ridicule from all over the world.
Whether it is the Xia Kingdom or other countries, many people are mocking Gu Zhan for being inflated, thinking that Gu Zhan has not seen the current situation clearly. When the Immortal Sect came to the world, the glory and rules of the past have disappeared, but Gu Zhan He is still addicted to his false reputation as the best in the world and cannot extricate himself.
Moreover, the huge craze for the method of seeing gods that was set off by Gu Zhan also disappeared during this period. Although it was not that no one cared about it, it was indeed overshadowed by the craze for cultivating immortals. That is, within Yunzhou Many people and forces have left Yunzhou to seek immortality in various places.
There were even many people who had not been able to pass the screening to join Prince Wu's Mansion to obtain the method of seeing the gods. They began to ridicule those who successfully joined Prince Wu's Mansion. There was even an upsurge of thanking Prince Wu's Mansion for their rejection. For a time, Prince Wu's Mansion, It seems to be a big joke.
It’s July in this world, and the summer is scorching hot.
The craze for the immortal gate to come to the world is getting stronger and stronger, and there are more and more traces of the immortal gate.
It's still a little cold on Sword King Mountain,
Gu Zhan fell from the sky and landed on Sword King Mountain. He dragged a small mountain peak the size of a palace with one hand and threw it directly at the Spirit Gathering Formation on Jian Wang Mountain. The small mountain peak was bare except for one plant with a blood-red sheen. tea tree.
This tea tree is blood red all over, as if red blood is flowing. It looks extremely strange and delicate.
Kou Baimen flew over from a distance and said in surprise: "Your Majesty, is this the Tianhe Tea Tree that inherits the treasure of Tianxing Cave?"
Gu Zhan nodded slightly and said: "It is indeed a rare treasure. No wonder Huang Longzi regarded that tea leaf as so important before."
"No," Kou Baimen said, "a cup of tea can be worth a year of hard training for me!"
Gu Zhan chuckled lightly and said, "However, Tianxing Cave is really poor. Apart from this thing, I didn't get anything!"
Kou Baimen smiled and said: "After more than six thousand years in that enchantment, the foundation of Tianxing Cave has been almost exhausted." After that, Kou Baimen asked again: "Your Majesty, the small enchantment cave in Tianxing Cave is How's it going?"
Gu Zhan frowned and said: "There were thirty or forty monks in Tianxing Cave, and I slapped them all to death. As for the ordinary people inside, because during this period, Huang Longzi and the others did not block the passage, the energy of heaven and earth poured in. Many, those ordinary people are almost dead, and only a few of them will not survive for long."
Kou Baimen asked again: "By the way, those girls who were tricked into entering before..."
Gu Zhan frowned, pondered for a while, and said, "Do you know that incest marriage will give birth to deformed children?"
Kou Baimen shook his head.
Gu Zhan said: "Children born from close relatives are prone to deformities, and the barrier of Tianxing Cave is not big to begin with. Naturally, not many people were introduced there. Over the course of thousands of years, from generation to generation, deformities have become more deformed, and normal There are not many people, and most of them are ugly, and some can even be said to be grotesque.”
Gu Zhan did not elaborate.
However, when he entered the barrier and saw the people inside, he was really shocked. It was a very deformed tribe. There were very few people who looked like Baiyun Fairy Boy before.
"So, think about it, in a place where most people are ugly, if dozens of beautiful girls enter, what will be the consequences?" Gu Zhan asked.
Kou Baimen's expression changed.
She could probably imagine what kind of purgatory life those girls were experiencing.
Gu Zhan sighed and said: "They were all reduced to tools of desire. Most of them were tortured to death. After I found the entrance to the barrier and entered, there were four or five who survived. They were all crazy. When I destroyed Tianxing After the hole, they all committed suicide!”
Kou Baimen sighed and said: "If I could have figured out a way to enter the barrier earlier, maybe I could... They are all young girls, they should have... Alas!"
Gu Zhan said with a dull expression: "This is just the tip of the iceberg. The Immortal Sect comes to the world, a high-ranking class appears, and the mortals at the bottom, haha!"
Gu Zhan sneered and said nothing more.
Kou Baimen nodded and said: "I can roughly guess it, Your Majesty, during the time when you went to find the Tianxing Cave barrier, many major events happened in all the countries in the world!"
Gu Zhan narrowed his eyes slightly.
When the Immortal Sect first came to the world, he had been sorting out and summarizing the documents left behind in the Tianxing Cave in Sword King City to understand the world of cultivation. Later, he understood it almost, and happened to find the method to enter the barrier, so he went to the depths of Sword King Mountain. He went to look for the small cave-sky barrier in Tianxing Cave. During this period of time, he really didn't know what was happening in the outside world.
Kou Baimen whispered: "All the kingdoms in the world are falling apart. The most miserable ones are the Northern Wei royal family and the Song royal family. The Northern Wei royal family was massacred, all the men were killed, and the queens, princesses, concubines and other women were sent to the cultivation sect. In the brothel created, the entire imperial city of the Song Dynasty was sacrificed by an evil sect, and not a single person was left alive."
Gu Zhan raised his eyebrows slightly and said: "In these two countries, are there no forces with a cultivation background similar to the Kong family and Ming family of Xia Kingdom?"
Gu Zhan naturally knew about the affairs of the Kong family in Jizhou and the Ming family in Xuzhou, but he was not too surprised. After knowing that there were cultivation sects behind the two Buddhist sects before, he knew that there could be no cultivation sect behind the two Buddhist sects in this world. background.
Kou Baimen sighed: "How is it possible? There have been four human forces with cultivation world backgrounds in the Northern Wei Dynasty. The cultivation sects that can intervene in the human world before the spiritual energy is revived must belong to the big sects. If they take action, they can Save the royal family, but the Northern Wei royal family has always been domineering and has long ago offended those four families to death."
Gu Zhan chuckled and said, "So, are you all just sitting back and watching?"
"Yes," Kou Baimen nodded and said: "As for the Song Kingdom, it was just bad luck. Someone tried to stop it, but they didn't have time. It was a cultivation sect named Mo Yumen who didn't have time to save the royal family of the Song Kingdom. , just chase that evil sect, and now the Song Kingdom is in chaos!
The Southern Jin Dynasty was lucky. At that time, a monk from a cultivation sect directly asked the Empress of the Southern Jin Dynasty to attend her bed. As a result, that monk's head was beheaded by a Taoist priest and hung on the city wall. "
Gu Zhan chuckled lightly and asked, "Where is Xia Kingdom?"
"The royal family is fine," Kou Baimen said: "Because Jixia Academy is in Kyoto, and Jixia Academy has a close relationship with the Confucius family, no cultivation sect dares to cause trouble there. However, the royal family has basically lost control. Control over all parts of Kyushu.”
Having said this, Kou Baimen hesitated for a while and said: "Your Majesty, it doesn't matter how the royal family is doing. Our Prince Wu's Mansion has been in some trouble recently!"
Gu Zhan frowned and said, "What's wrong?"
Kou Baimen whispered: "Prince Wu's Mansion relied on you to be the best in the world to support its huge size. But now that the Immortal Sect has come to the world, everyone thinks that martial arts has declined, and thinks that your being the best in the world is meaningless. People's hearts were floating, and many people left the Prince Wu's Mansion and left Yunzhou to pursue the immortal way. Some people saw the immortal sects massacred all over the world, and were worried that immortal sects would appear in Yunzhou and be purged by the immortal sects. They all fled to those who were beginning to stabilize. place."
Gu Zhan chuckled lightly and said: "It doesn't matter, those people have no meaning to us. Well, no one is causing trouble, right?"
"That's not true," Kou Baimen said: "Although people's hearts are floating now, after all, your reputation is still there, and Prince Wu's Mansion still controls Yunzhou. However, the most annoying thing is that many people in the outside world are mocking your world. First, it really pisses me off!”
Gu Zhan waved his hand and said: "None of this is important. Please tell me to go back to Prince Wu's Mansion!"
"Oh, by the way, Your Majesty, there is one more thing," Kou Baimen said: "Whether it was the Tianxing Cave boys you killed in the county before or the Jindan monks Huang Longzi, their bodies were all found. Variety."
"What change?" Gu Zhan asked.
Kou Baimen thought for a while and said: "It can't be said to be a change. After their corpses decayed, the spiritual energy in that place became very rich. The higher the cultivation level, the more surging the spiritual energy in the place where the corpses decayed! "
“Feed back, give back!”
Gu Zhan narrowed his eyes slightly, hummed, and suddenly looked at Kou Baimen and asked, "Tell me, if I kill all the cultivators in the world today, will it speed up the recovery of spiritual energy?"
…
After more than a month, Gu Zhan finally returned to Prince Wu's Mansion.
During this period of time, the world was in chaos, and many major events happened. The Immortal Sect came to the world, which greatly changed the pattern of the world. Yunzhou was relatively lucky. Perhaps it was because the land was not enough and the Immortal Sect had not appeared yet. However, all the people in Yunzhou were It's the people's hearts that are floating, and there's a dark cloud.
However, Gu Zhan is still the best in the world by relying on his fists and swords. Even if the situation has changed drastically, his prestige still exists. Now, as soon as he appears, the floating Yunzhou gradually begins to calm down.
Gu Zhan was very high-profile all the way back to Yuncheng from Jianwang Mountain. When he led his team to the outside of Yuncheng, many senior officials from Prince Wu's Mansion came to greet them, and the leader was Rong Yichu.
When he saw Gu Zhan riding his horse in the scorching summer heat, his heart stabilized.
During this period, the pressure he was under was really too great.
Facing the mysterious Immortal Sect, it was impossible for him not to be worried and afraid in his heart. However, Gu Zhan was not in Prince Wu's Mansion, and he had to take charge of the overall situation. On the surface, he was always calm, but in his heart Also very uneasy.
Although the advent of the Immortal Sect is becoming more and more intense nowadays, and the unfathomable and unfathomable nature of gods and ghosts has been deeply ingrained in the world's impression, relatively speaking, Gu Zhan, the number one in the world, seems to be a little behind.
But he didn't know why,
As soon as he saw Gu Zhan, the uneasiness in his heart disappeared instantly.
"Lord!"
Rong Yichu quickly greeted him.
Gu Zhan got off his horse and patted Rong Yichu on the shoulder, saying, "Thank you for your hard work."
"No hard work, no hard work," Rong Yichu said with a slight smile, "As long as the master returns, everything can be solved easily."
A group of people and senior officials from Prince Wu's Palace followed Gu Zhan into the city.
Gu Zhan and Rong Yichu walked in front,
Gu Zhan asked: "During my absence for more than a month, the world was in chaos, and there was also a lot of commotion in Prince Wu's Mansion, right?"
Rong Yichu nodded slightly and said: "It's a mixture of joy and sorrow. What's good is that in just over a month, Prince Wu's Mansion has added ten new warriors to see the gods. What's worrying is the current situation in the world. Facing the oppression of the Immortal Sect, the imperial court It has been relegated to a corner and has no prestige. If Prince Wu’s Mansion didn’t have your prestige, my lord, there would probably be a big problem, but for now, it’s still within control.”
There are ten new warriors who meet the gods in Prince Wu's Mansion. Gu Zhan has already received the news about this matter and it was expected. Moreover, the number will continue to grow.
Because many of the masters who joined Prince Wu's Mansion before were top masters and had reached the original peak of martial arts, but were just short of a clear path. It was normal to break through quickly after obtaining the method of seeing gods. The second was the benefit brought by the recovery of spiritual energy.
Unlike cultivators who can only absorb spiritual energy, although martial arts are based on the vitality of heaven and earth, the effect of spiritual energy is actually better. When Jianyi was able to take the lead in breaking through to the realm of seeing gods, he had been using spiritual energy in the spirit gathering array in Sword King City. Practice.
During this period of time, Jianyi's cultivation level has broken through to the second realm of Jian Shen, and his talent is very strong.
Rong Yichu continued: "However, during this period, many warriors left Wu Wang's Mansion, and many Jianghu forces who had moved to Yunzhou also left."
Gu Zhan chuckled and said, "I heard that there is now a trend of 'thanking Gu Zhan for rejecting' in the world? There are also people saying that my reputation as the best in the world is a joke?"
"This..." Rong Yichu smiled helplessly and said: "Most people in this world are so scornful and flattering. Although it does not benefit them at all, they like to step on others to give themselves a sense of superiority. !”
"Oh," Gu Zhan said coldly: "Remember those people and forces who left Wu Prince's Mansion and Yunzhou during this period. From now on, these people should not think about getting protection from Prince Wu's Mansion."
Rong Yichu nodded and said, "Student understands."
Gu Zhan shook his head slightly and asked: "What do you think these people think? A cultivation sect has come to the world and a new practice system has emerged. Why do they think there is room for warriors elsewhere?"
Rong Yichu smiled helplessly and said: "Historical books will not record how a new dynasty slaughtered the old people of the previous dynasty. Therefore, they do not understand that after the arrival of a new mainstream, it is impossible to give the old people There’s no place for the mainstream.”
Gu Zhan nodded and said: "Martial arts, to the world of cultivation, is heresy and ignorance!"
Rong Yichu nodded and suddenly said softly: "My lord, there is one more thing I need to report to you."
"What's going on?" Gu Zhan asked.
Rong Yichu whispered: "Recently, there have been some changes in the Gu family. It seems that someone in the Wulin League is in contact with the remnants of the Lu family?"
Gu Zhan raised his eyebrows slightly and chuckled: "A fairy came to the world and blew up all the monsters and monsters. Tell me more specifically, what happened?"
Rong Yichu said softly: "The Gu family seems to be interfering with the military intentionally or unintentionally during this period."
Gu Zhan narrowed his eyes slightly. Prince Wu's Mansion controls the entire Yunzhou. However, the Gu family's main responsibility in Prince Wu's Mansion is the local government. The local Yunzhou family led by Nangong Weiyang has always been responsible for the military. The Gu family has very little influence. , and now, without his instructions, if the Gu family interferes with the military, it is arrogance and having other ideas.
"Brother Gu, does he know?" Gu Zhan asked.
Rong Yichu shook his head slightly and said: "After Furuchuan came to Yunzhou, he began to pay attention to the mountains and rivers. He usually invites friends to visit the mountains and rivers, and rarely returns to the Gu family. However, he suddenly returned to the Gu family two days ago. There’s something fishy about it.”
Gu Zhan nodded and asked, "What's going on with the Martial Arts Alliance?"
Rong Yichu said: "It has nothing to do with the leader of the Kou alliance. It is a line led by the deputy leader Lin Zixiu. There are traces of the remnants of the Lu family in his territory, but they disappeared quickly. However, this can make it more It must be Lin Zixiu's handiwork, otherwise, it would not have disappeared so completely."
"Lin Zixiu, has he also broken through to the state of seeing gods recently?"
Gu Zhan asked.
This Lin Zixiu was a casual cultivator who took the initiative to join the martial arts alliance after the establishment of the martial arts alliance. At that time, he also offended a top power in Liangzhou. He was already desperate and entered the martial arts alliance, using the name of Gu Zhan as his support. , to settle the matter.
This man had good abilities and was a top master in cultivation. It happened that the Wulin Alliance was just starting up and was seriously short of manpower, so Lin Zixiu was promoted to one of the three deputy leaders of the Wulin Alliance.
Rong Yichu replied: "Lin Zixiu broke through after Wan Xiu."
Gu Zhan said slowly: "The Gu family has also broken through two realms of seeing gods, right?"
"Yes," Rong Yichu nodded and said: "The two Gu family's breakthroughs to the realm of seeing gods were made on the same day. Moreover, there are now three top masters who are also about to make breakthroughs. They are quite sure of it."
Gu Zhan snorted coldly and said, "Inform Lin Zixiu and Gu Qingcheng to come see me."
Rong Yichu hesitated for a moment and said, "Master, do you want to investigate clearly before..."
Gu Zhan waved his hand and said: "I don't have time to play those little power tricks with them. If you are really disobedient and can't figure out your identity, then go and die!"
Rong Yichu bowed slightly and said, "Student understands."
…
The news that Gu Zhan returned to Prince Wu's Mansion in Yuncheng spread quickly, causing a great disturbance in Yunzhou. During this period, the Immortal Sect came to the world and caused a lot of big commotions. At this time, Gu Zhan The appearance of the No. 1 in the world attracted a lot of attention. Many people wanted to know what Gu Zhan, the No. 1 in martial arts in the world, thought of the Cultivation Immortal Sect.
However, the reactions of all the forces in Yunzhou were different, and many of them breathed a sigh of relief. After all, although times have changed, Gu Zhan's prestige is still there, and the undefeated golden body of the world's number one has not been broken, and even, There are rumors that the reason why no Immortal Sect has appeared in Yunzhou is because they are afraid of Gu Zhan. There are also other rumors that the Immortal Sect has actually appeared in Yunzhou, but it was destroyed by Gu Zhan so that no commotion was caused.
However, most people listened to these rumors as jokes, and not many people took them seriously. However, in short, with Gu Zhan's return to Prince Wu's Mansion, all the forces in Yunzhou felt a lot more at ease.
…
Yunzhou, an ancient family in Mingsha County.
Since the Gu family moved from Kyoto to Yunzhou, Gu Zhan arranged the Gu family in Mingsha County, which is close to Yuncheng. With the size of the Gu family and its back to Prince Wu's Mansion, in a very short period of time, Established a firm foothold in Mingsha County.
The Gu family is now one of the largest forces in Yunzhou, and is highly valued by Prince Wu's Mansion. The Gu family is present in various government offices. Together with the Wulin Alliance, Yunzhou Military Town, Jinyiwei, and the Beidou Gang, it is also known as the five major arms of Prince Wu's Mansion. , it can be said that it is at its peak in Yunzhou, and even has the faint momentum of being the first force under Prince Wu's Mansion.
There are also rumors that Gu Qingcheng, the head of the Gu family, may marry into Prince Wu's palace, which makes all the forces in Yunzhou fear the Gu family.
Today, there is an endless stream of people visiting the Gu family in Mingsha County. After all, the Gu family is now highly valued by Tianwu King Gu Zhan.
Gu family manor, in a small courtyard.
In July the sun is burning like fire, in the pavilion,
Brother and sister Furukawa and Gu Qingcheng sat face to face, the atmosphere was a bit solemn.
Gu Qingcheng poured tea for Furukawa, but Furukawa stopped her.
"How dare you ask the master to pour tea for me?" Furukawa said.
"Brother," Gu Qingcheng said softly: "Why are you and me like this?"
Furukawa said in a deep voice: "Qingcheng, since you still call me brother, how about you listen to brother for once and stop it, Qingcheng, I beg you to be my brother. You have been smarter and more capable than me since you were a child. You are more assertive than me, and I have never let you listen to me, but I beg you today, can you listen to me just once!"
"Brother!" Gu Qingcheng sighed and said, "I am the head of the Gu family. Any decision I make must be based on the interests of the Gu family."
Furukawa gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty is very kind to our Gu family. Qingcheng, you know what the situation of the Gu family was in Kyoto. He gave us power, favor, and even the method of seeing the gods without hesitation. Gu family, we must be morally responsible, how can we betray and be ungrateful?"
Gu Qingcheng shook his head slightly and said: "Brother, we are not ungrateful. We just knew the outcome of King Wu and made plans for our Gu family in advance. We did not harm him, and we are not qualified to harm him, right? We are just in Yunzhou It’s just to gather some power in advance when the chaos is about to happen. By the time we seize power, King Wu is gone. This cannot be said to be betrayal by the Gu family, let alone ungrateful!"
Furukawa took a deep breath and said: "If the Gu family is not ungrateful, then they should inform King Wu of the coming crisis, and then find a way to fight side by side with King Wu to survive this disaster. This is not betrayal!"
Gu Qingcheng whispered: "This is meaningless, this is just dragging the Gu family to bury King Wu with him!"
