Gu Zhan didn't stay in Shiwandashan for long, but the total delay was quite long. By the time he returned to Emperor Wu City, it was already early September.
In the north of Yunzhou, after entering late autumn, the weather cooled down rapidly. However, today's Emperor Wu City was different. After this late autumn, the weather was as warm as early summer.
Because outside Emperor Wu City, there is a strange scene, a bare mountain, which always emits scorching heat, causing Emperor Wu City to become very warm. That mountain was the leader of the Yuling Sect when Gu Zhan fought against the three major immortal sects. The fire-breathing vase was broken and fell into the mountain.
Because Gu Zhan mobilized several large rivers around Emperor Wu City in time to surround the mountain, it did not cause an uncontrollable fire. However, the mountain still burned for nearly half a month before it was extinguished, and many rocks were burned into sand. Dust, but after the fire was extinguished, the mountain still released high temperatures for a long time, and a wonder was born because of this.
"Recently, many warriors have taken the initiative to go to the Aquarius Mountain to practice."
In Emperor Wu's Mansion, Rong Yichu and Gu Zhan were sitting opposite each other. Rong Yichu cupped his hands and said: "The effect is very good, especially those warriors who practice the method of seeing gods today. The fire is not an ordinary fire, it is good for tempering the physique." It helps a lot.”
Gu Zhan nodded slightly and said: "In that case, we can get some more treasures that are good for improving our physique and come to Emperor Wu City. To put it bluntly, the difference between martial arts and cultivation is that one is cultivating life and the other is refining body. Cultivators pay attention to the soul and the detachment of the soul, while warriors pay attention to the body and the detachment of the body!"
After saying that, Gu Zhan waved his hand and said, "Tell me about the recent situation."
Rong Yichu smiled slightly, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, in the Mid-Autumn Festival, he fought against the Immortal Sect and became the Martial Emperor. Yunzhou became the only holy land of martial arts, and warriors from all over the world flocked here.
With more people, the most indispensable thing is genius. People who have broken through to see the gods have reached a blowout. However, the lord can rest assured that after the last cleaning, the foundation of Emperor Wu's Mansion has been solid, and it will not develop too much. A fast and unstable situation.
In addition, the battle at Emperor Wu's City also made Yunzhou the last pure land for warriors in the world. Most warriors would want to protect Yunzhou more than our Emperor Wu's Mansion, so there is no need to worry too much about the chaos it will cause. Moreover, now The Gu family, the Wulin Alliance, the military, the Jin Yiwei, and the Beidou Gang have all dealt with it, and Yunzhou is like a piece of iron. "
Gu Zhan nodded and asked, "Have the Luoyun Sect and the Hiding Moon Sect found out the location of their mountain gates?"
Rong Yichu frowned slightly and said, "This is what the student mainly wants to report to you today. Things are a bit troublesome."
Gu Zhan asked in confusion: "What? Do these two sects have any strong background?"
Rong Yichu shook his head and said: "It's not that there is anything special about these two sects, but because my lord, your name as Martial Emperor has made the world of cultivation fearful, and those two sects have been crippled by you. They are just dispensable little characters, but the cultivation world wants to use these two sects to target our Emperor Wu's Mansion."
Gu Zhan raised his eyebrows slightly.
Rong Yichu continued: "The Hidden Moon Sect and Luo Yun Sect fled back to Yunxi and were immediately accepted by the major immortal sects in Qingzhou. There were more than a dozen immortal sects in Qingzhou, Liangzhou, and Cangzhou, and they joined forces to form the A Wanfa Immortal Alliance.”
Gu Zhan frowned and said: "These cultivation sects have just come out of the small cave in the barrier. How come they haven't interacted with each other for thousands of years, how can they form an alliance so quickly?"
"The general trend is the general trend." Rong Yichu said: "Everyone knows that when spiritual energy recovers, more and more immortal sects will appear in the world, and the further you go, the more powerful the immortal sects in the world will be. What appears now are some Although the second- and third-rate sects are superior to the mortal world, they are also worried that with the emergence of increasingly powerful immortal sects in the future, they will not have much room to stand.
Therefore, these second- and third-rate sects began to choose to form alliances for warmth. Today, in the Xia Kingdom, the Ten Thousand Magic Immortal Alliance is the fastest formed. Immortal sects in many other places have also begun to have a faint tendency to form alliances.
For these immortal sects, this is the best way. After ten thousand years of the Dharma Ending Age, many sects have disappeared. In fact, the remaining immortal sects are not even ten, which means that the human resources are sufficient. Many.
In fact, there is no need for these immortal sects to attack each other in order to compete for resources. They can now discuss dividing the territory and forming an alliance will have a platform for sharing resources. At the same time, they will not have to wait until the powerful immortal sects appear in the future. No right to speak at all. "
Gu Zhan nodded and said: "This is also the reason. It is not yet the stage of competing with each other. Only when the world of cultivation is fully born and the pattern and rules have been completely fixed will we enter a competition for resources. stage.”
"My lord is wise," Rong Yichu said with a chuckle: "At this stage, attacking each other is completely meaningless. After all, the world is so big, not to mention that there are more powerful immortal sects that have not yet appeared. Even if you can get it, It doesn’t necessarily belong to you!”
Gu Zhan nodded slightly and said: "That's the truth. However, the Ten Thousand Magic Immortal Alliance appeared too quickly. After all, it has only been half a year since the Immortal Sect came into the world, and the period of chaos has just passed."
Rong Yichu said in a deep voice: "This Ten Thousand Dharma Immortal Alliance is the first and only established Immortal Sect Alliance in the world. The reason for this is because of one person. Ask the leader of the Immortal Sect Zhang Zixu."
Gu Zhan narrowed his eyes slightly.
Rong Yichu said slowly: "This person's cultivation is a sixth-level golden elixir monk. His own strength is strong enough, and the Wenxian Sect's background is also strong enough. There are ten golden elixir monks.
All in all, this Wenxian Sect has only been around for more than a month. However, after appearing, Zhang Zixu did not immediately grab territory or preach like other immortal sects. Instead, he directly showed his strength and visited Cangzhou, The immortal sects from Qingzhou and Liangzhou successfully persuaded six immortal sects to join the Ten Thousand Fa Immortal Alliance.
Of course, there are people from the Immortal Sect who are naturally unwilling to join. The Luoyun Sect and Hiyue Sect were unwilling to join before, and Zhang Zixu did not force them. In this battle at Emperor Wu City, Luo Yun Sect and Hiyue Sect were unwilling to join. Zong was already crippled after being killed by you, and he was worried that you would liquidate him, so he ran back to Qingzhou and asked to join the Ten Thousand Fa Immortal Alliance. In fact, he was seeking asylum.
Zhang Zixu actually agreed. It was precisely because of this agreement that several other cultivation sects in the three states that had not joined the Ten Thousand Fa Immortal Alliance also took the initiative to join. The Ten Thousand Fa Immortal Alliance directly became the immortal that enveloped the three states. After that, several immortal sects that appeared one after another during this period also followed the trend and directly joined the Ten Thousand Fa Immortal Alliance. "
Gu Zhan raised his eyebrows and said: "This Zhang Zixu is a talent. If he acts like this, even if a powerful immortal sect appears in the future, for the sake of reputation, he will not directly expel the Ten Thousand Magic Immortal Alliance, or even It is necessary to maintain the Ten Thousand Magic Immortal Alliance. This operation by Zixu is equivalent to making the Ten Thousand Magic Immortal Alliance directly become an official organization in the world of cultivation.
Even if a powerful immortal sect comes to the world in the future, Zhang Zixu is not strong enough and can take the initiative to abdicate in favor of someone more powerful. However, his identity has already been marked as the leader of the Ten Thousand Fa Immortal Alliance, no matter how powerful the successor to the Ten Thousand Fa Immortal Alliance is. All the forces must recognize his identity, and then his status in the world of cultivation will rise along with the Ten Thousand Fa Immortal Alliance! "
Rong Yichu looked solemn and said, "This person is indeed very capable!"
Gu Zhan chuckled lightly and said, "However, he did one thing wrong."
"What's going on?" Rong Yichu asked confused.
Gu Zhan said coldly: "He shouldn't provoke me. If he accepts Luo Yun Sect and Yan Yue Sect, he is becoming my enemy. There is no need for the existence of the Ten Thousand Magic Immortal Alliance!"
Rong Yichu pondered for a while and said, "My lord, Zhang Zixu did one more thing."
Gu Zhan motioned to Rong Yichu to speak directly.
Rong Yichu pondered for a while and said: "Zhang Zixu's acting style is old-fashioned. Your name as Emperor Wu has spread throughout the world. Although the Ten Thousand Fa Immortal Alliance is powerful, Zhang Zixu acts calmly and steadily. He does not rely on his The strength of the Ten Thousand Fa Immortal Alliance directly forcibly protects the Luo Yun Sect and the Hidden Moon Sect, and instead pulls the entire world of cultivation along with it."
"What do you mean?" Gu Zhan asked confused.
Rong Yichu said slowly: "Your name as Martial Emperor has shocked the whole world, and martial arts may shake not only the status of the Ten Thousand Magic Immortal Alliance, but also the entire world of cultivation.
Therefore, Zhang Zixu directly issued a call to the immortal cultivators in the world in the name of the Wanfa Immortal Alliance to start a discussion conference between cultivation and martial arts. The discussion was about who should exist in the world, martial arts or cultivation! "
Gu Zhan frowned and said, "A lot of people responded?"
Rong Yichu said in a deep voice: "I don't know yet, but I can basically guess that those immortal sects may not necessarily sell the face of the Ten Thousand Fa Immortal Alliance, nor may they all come to fight to the death with our Martial Emperor's Mansion for the Ten Thousand Fa Immortal Alliance, but , they will definitely participate in this conference.
However, the people involved are definitely the imperial courts of various countries. After all, the current rulers of the world are still the imperial courts of various countries. This is the face that the cultivation world wants. They will definitely not tolerate martial arts, but it is not appropriate to directly demand a ban on martial arts in the world.
After all, many immortal sects, including the Ten Thousand Fa Immortal Alliance, want to enslave the world forever, and they also need a good reputation. They will not be like this time with the Moon Covering Sect and the Yuling Sect, who only care about the present. Not even having a reputation for righteousness is not conducive to long-term development at all.
In addition, the impact of the battle at Emperor Wu City was too great.
However, nowadays, the courts of various countries are actually in name only. However, after all, they occupy the great righteousness. As long as at this conference, the courts of various countries openly admit that martial arts is heresy, then their next step is to eliminate martial arts from the world. They will occupy the great righteousness and take the blame. Even if the courts of various countries carry the blame for them, it will only be those courts that are reviled by the world.
Even, when the time comes, those immortal sects can pretend to support the human forces to overthrow the imperial court that took the blame for them, and then gain a good reputation, step by step become the faith of mortals, and enslave the world! "
Gu Zhan narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "Since it is a discussion conference on cultivation and martial arts, have you also sent an invitation to our Emperor Wu's Mansion?"
"That's it," Rong Yichu said, "Please go to Liangzhou to participate in the conference on the first day of October."
"Ah,"
Gu Zhan chuckled lightly and said, "Is this enough?"
While talking,
Gu Zhan stood up and said, "Get ready, I'm going to Kyoto."
Rong Yichu was stunned for a moment, and then said in surprise: "My lord, are you asking for it?"
Gu Zhan nodded slightly and said: "It's just as you guessed. I'm going to Kyoto. I'll go to the emperor to ask for the throne and talk about Tao... Haha, I want those immortal sects to know what it means -
In the whole world, is it the land of the king?
On the shore of the land, could it be the king's ministers! "
…
Gu Zhan didn't stay long when he returned to Martial Emperor City. He left a bunch of martial arts secrets behind and headed directly to Kyoto.
Today, Yunzhou is on the right track, and his role in Emperor Wu City is only to intimidate. With Rong Yichu, Kou Baimen, Gu Qingcheng and others in charge of the affairs, he does not need to worry about it at all.
During this period of time, all countries in the world are also experiencing undercurrents.
As the Ten Thousand Dharma Immortal Alliance held a Dao Discussion Conference, all the countries in the world and those cultivation sects took action.
Xia Kingdom, Kyoto.
Tai'an City is still the most majestic city in the Xia Kingdom. The imperial city is still so solemn and solemn, and it is still so prosperous. However, it is not as prosperous as in the past, but full of a kind of twilight.
The imperial city also looked very depressed.
In the Daming Palace, Emperor Ji Yi has white hair and dry skin, and his whole person looks very vicissitudes of life. The autumn wind sweeps the dead leaves flying, and at a glance, he feels withered and desolate.
He sat on the chair and looked at the withered leaves flying. He looked very lonely.
"Father!"
Princess Ji Anle put a bowl of medicinal food next to Ji Yi and said softly: "You haven't been to court for almost a month. The civil and military officials of the whole court have made a mess!"
Ji Yi chuckled lightly and said bitterly: "If there is chaos because I didn't go to court, that would be fine. Today's royal family doesn't even exist in name only, and there is not much left in their name. They are doing it for the sake of thousands of people." The discussion meeting of the Dharma Immortal Alliance will be in chaos."
Ji Anle was silent.
After the Immortal Sect came to the world, in a very short period of time, the imperial court lost control over all the nine states. This was the case for all the countries in the world, and the imperial court only had a court in name only.
The Xia Kingdom's royal family is lucky. Because of the care of the Quzhao Kong family, the royal family barely saved its last face and was not messed up by those high-ranking cultivators. However, it only saved its last face.
Today's royal family cannot even leave the imperial city with a single order.
Kyoto is also regarded as a place of fun by the monks from various immortal sects. There is no order at all. Even if it is right at the feet of the emperor, the emperor has no way. If it were not for the care of the Kong family, the imperial city would become Those monks were a place of entertainment, but even so, many things happened in the royal family. Many members of the royal family were killed, and many young women were taken away and became the playthings of the monks. When they got tired of playing with them, they simply threw them away. They are everywhere in brothels.
Ji Yi, the titular emperor, couldn't do anything about these things and couldn't afford to fall ill.
And the so-called court has been basically ignored. Only a few days ago, the Ten Thousand Dharma Immortal Alliance sent a letter requesting the Emperor of Daxia to attend the Taoism Conference, and the courtiers came one by one. Up to court.
Ji Yi really felt aggrieved.
The majestic emperor of a country was ordered by others and fell to this.
"Eight hundred years of country, country, and country have suddenly withered away. How can I have the face to go to the spring to meet my ancestors?" Ji Yi lamented.
Ji Anle choked up and said: "Father, I don't blame you, you have really done a good job. When the Xia Kingdom came into your hands, it was almost destroyed. You resisted powerful enemies from outside, suppressed the family members internally, and used Yang Yunzhi. Yang Gong and his help to Tianwu King Gu Zhan in times of crisis have greatly restored the Xia Kingdom.
The current situation is unkind, and it is not your fault. Xia Kingdom has already started to move forward. The emergence of this world of cultivation is beyond your control. Don't blame yourself! "
"Is it not my fault?" Ji Yi sneered and said, "Is it really God's fault?"
Just then,
Outside the hospital, a burly middle-aged man hurriedly ran in, his face full of excitement. This man was really a member of the royal family, Ji Songlie, the commander of Huben Camp.
However, now he is not as high-spirited as before. Instead, he is unkempt and smells of alcohol. His originally burly figure also looks a bit bloated due to indulgence.
Since the advent of the Immortal Sect, the world has been in chaos, and the royal family has become a joke in a short period of time. The Huben camp suffered several attacks from the Immortal Sect and was almost disbanded. Only a few scattered people are still holding on. However, Lian Jisongye All have given up.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
Ji Songlie ran in happily, his steps a little frivolous, and said: "Good news, Your Majesty, good news!"
Ji Yi raised his head and looked at Ji Songlie, and said without interest: "Tell me!"
Ji Songlie knew Ji Yi's current situation and had no doubts about Ji Yi's indifferent attitude. He took a deep breath and said, "King Wu...King Wu has come to Beijing!"
Ji Yi suddenly sat up straight as if he was having a flashback, and some color returned to his pale face. His withered hand grabbed Ji Songlie's arm and said excitedly: "What did you say... King Wu... …King Wu came to Beijing?”
"Yes," Ji Songlie said excitedly: "The news is absolutely true. Although the Huben Camp has been disbanded, I still have many confidants wandering around Kyoto. I just received the news that King Wu Gu Zhan The honor guard appeared outside Kyoto. King Wu seemed to be able to convey the message and even showed up specially. My confidant had seen King Wu during the battle at Qixia Mountain. He would not admit his mistake. Moreover, no one in the world dares to pretend to be King Wu's honor guard. , isn’t it?”
"Yes, yes," Ji Yi was very excited and stood up directly and said: "Anle, go and organize it right away. It can be as grand as possible. I want to go to greet King Wu in person. King Wu is here. It's great. He Didn’t give up on our Ji family!”
Ji Anle was a little confused and said, "Father, I don't quite understand something."
Ji Yi said in a deep voice: "Martial King Gu Zhan, or Martial Emperor Gu Zhan, is actually the leader of the mortals in the world today. He is fighting against the entire world of cultivation on his own.
But now, he should have stuck to Yunzhou, the only pure land for mortals, but he came to Kyoto with only one purpose. He wanted to openly declare war on the world of cultivation! "
Ji Anle's face was full of shock and he said: "How is this possible... He... really dares? To fight against the entire world of cultivation alone?"
Ji Yi was very excited and said: "So he is Emperor Wu!"
Taking a deep breath, Ji Yi continued: "The Ten Thousand Fa Immortal Alliance held a Tao Discussion Conference in order to obtain the righteousness of the world, and King Wu came to the capital to directly and fundamentally overpower the Ten Thousand Fa Immortal Alliance. He wanted to directly Gain the status of Lord of the Earth.
However, today the world is still ruled by the names of various countries. This so-called Lord of the World is also the status of the Emperor of the World. In fact, to obtain this status, King Wu had many ways, but he did not. Instead, he chose to come to Kyoto, which is to admit My Ji family identity! "
Ji Anle wondered: "Does this mean anything?"
Ji Yi said in a deep voice: "This is King Wu remembering his old relationship, and it also proves that he has not abandoned our Ji family. When King Wu first became the king, I expressed my willingness to make King Wu my lord in the name of Ji family. Although King Wu did not directly agree, he accepted our things. That Ji family is his.
Given King Wu's character, since he has recognized our Ji family as a vassal of Prince Wu's Mansion, he will not ignore our Ji family when he comes to Kyoto! "
Ji Anle suddenly said: "I understand, I'll make arrangements right away!"
…
Outside Kyoto, a team carrying the flag of Prince Wu's Palace came in a mighty manner. In the middle was a large white jade carriage, pulled by ten red fire dragon ponies, with extremely high standards.
There are not many people in this team, only about ten in total. However, except for a few maids, the ten guards are all masters of the God-Seeing Realm.
This was specially selected by Gu Zhan.
During this time,
The number of masters of the God-Seeing Realm in Emperor Wu's Mansion increased explosively. It was very simple to choose ten masters of the God-Seeing Realm as bodyguards. The leader of the guard was Bai Ye, the former number one master of martial arts in the royal family of the Wei Kingdom. He had achieved the second level of the God-Seeing Realm in a short period of time.
As Gu Zhan and his party gradually approached Kyoto, there was a commotion in Kyoto.
The name of Emperor Wu,
Even in the world of cultivation, it cannot be ignored. What's more, now that the Dao Discussion Conference is approaching, the reputation of Emperor Wu has reached a peak.
Not only that,
In Kyoto, the reaction of the royal family also made the whole city look at them with suspicion.
Emperor Ji Yiqin led a group of royal people to the outside of the city to wait for King Wu to fight.
Although the royal family now exists in name only and has no prestige, after all, the name of the royal family is still there. The world of cultivation can not care about it, but ordinary people cannot ignore it. For a time, the whole city was shocked.
Emperor Ji Yi also became the center of countless people's criticism.
However, Ji Yi stood at the city gate without any reaction until King Wu's honor guard appeared in front of him. Ji Yi's eyes lit up and he hurriedly led a group of royal people to greet him. He bowed and shouted: "Ji Yi welcomes you." Emperor Wu!"
Gu Zhan walked out of the carriage, held Ji Yi's arm, stopped Ji Yi from bowing down, and said, "Your Majesty, why do you do this?"
Ji Yi immediately waved,
Ji Anle brought over a tray covered with red cloth and slowly opened it, revealing a jade seal.
Ji Yi held the jade seal with both hands, bowed, raised the jade seal high above his head, and said loudly: "Emperor Wu Gu Zhan, destined by fate, and the common master of the world, Ji Yi, by the will of heaven, respects Emperor Wu as the master!"
