Chapter 112: Longevity Emperor
Chen Jiu was just preparing to put on a show and demonstrate his strength when, at noon the next day, a large number of spiritual officials from the major Zheng families arrived.
They clearly came to ask for help, yet they put on quite a show.
Zheng and his entourage came riding on monster beasts and sitting in luxurious carriages. There were hundreds of big and small monsters and monster kings alone. This huge team was still twenty or thirty miles away from Jiuling Mountain when they sent someone to deliver a golden visiting card.
On the surface, this meant to honor him as the Great Demon King of Jiuling Mountain, but in reality it was to let him prepare in advance and entertain him well.
Chen Jiu opened the visiting card, took a look at it, then scanned it from a distance with his spiritual sense, and couldn't help but smile contemptuously.
You guys have the nerve to show off such a small monster like you? I'll let you see what real strength is!
As soon as his spiritual consciousness moved, all kinds of monsters and demons immediately lined up on both sides of the road leading to Lianshen Peak.
The first row had two hundred golden gods lined up on both sides of the avenue. Each of these golden gods was about two meters tall, all wearing golden armor and golden spears, and they looked very powerful.
In fact, these are still the weakest.
Next came the two hundred bean soldiers. Although they had nothing in their hands, their thirty-meter height and bulging muscles proved how strong they were.
This is not the most amazing thing.
Next came two hundred monkey demon kings. Each of them was about four feet tall, and they all held immortal swords in their hands!
This is not the end yet. There are thousands of bat soldiers lined up neatly in the sky, circling back and forth.
There are also Luo Yong, Luo Meng, Luo Li, Yu Qi, Old Ancestor Hongyun, Old Fox Fairy, these earth fairies, ghost fairies, and demon fairies are already sitting on one side of the big table waiting.
This grand ceremony really gave enough face, and the Zheng family's great spiritual officials were surprised and delighted .
What shocked them was Chen Jiu's strength. This guy, just the monsters and goblins he displayed were enough to defeat a bunch of earthly immortals. What made them happy was that Chen Jiu gave them enough face. Hundreds of monster king-level masters lined up to welcome them. They had never seen such a grand scene before.
When Chen Jiu saw the surprised looks on these guys' faces, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
Do you think that by joining me you can continue to be a local emperor and live a luxurious life? Just wait!
Of course, on the surface he was still extremely polite and welcomed them into the huge hall, and introduced them enthusiastically. It goes without saying that there were earth immortals, ghost immortals, and demon immortals. The dishes on the table were also quite rich. There were several large pots of Demon King Soup alone, and no two were the same. The table was filled with delicacies from land and sea.
This was enough face. After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Zheng Jing, the representative of the Zheng family, immediately pretended to be sincere and said, "Your Majesty, we, the Zheng family, will follow your lead from now on. However, the supervision of the imperial court is quite strict now, and we have tens of thousands of relatives to support. We cannot help you openly. Please forgive us, Your Majesty."
You are typical fence-sitters!
Chen Jiu smiled slightly and said, "It's okay, as long as you are loyal to me."
Zheng Jing asked carefully: "What about the territory in the new area?"
Hey, you guys help me guard it first.
Chen Jiu directly took out a map, drew a piece of land with a radius of several hundred miles, and said generously: "These are given to you Zheng family."
Oh my, this is even bigger than Zhao’s original territory!
Zheng Jing couldn't help but said with great joy: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Chen Jiu changed the subject and said sternly, "I told you in advance that I want to transplant the spiritual fields inside into my own immortal residence."
this.
Zheng Jing was stunned for a moment, then nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, okay, Your Majesty, you can come and get it anytime."
They also knew that others would not give them such a great benefit for nothing. After the spiritual fields were transplanted, they could still plant them themselves. Although it would take a long time, it was better than nothing. The new domain was the place with the richest wood spiritual energy in the world, so such a large piece of land was enough.
Seeing that the conversation was almost over, Chen Jiu was too lazy to continue talking, so he simply invited these guys to eat and drink.
What he meant was, eat quickly and get out of here right after you’re done.
Unexpectedly, while eating and drinking, Zheng Jing suddenly leaned over and whispered, "Your Majesty, you must be careful. We heard that the current emperor is preparing to lead the army in person. The 100,000-strong army of the Shenwu Camp has already assembled in Hejian Prefecture. Those noble families seem to have gathered hundreds of earthly immortals."
ah?
Chen Jiu originally thought that the Imperial Court would leave this great devil alone just like it did with the Qinglian Sect, because the cost of dealing with this great devil was too high, and the Imperial Court should not make a big fuss about it and suffer serious consequences.
Could it be that the Great Dao Siren Wanshou Emperor is also mentally ill like the Crown Prince Zhu Yijun?
There are hundreds of earthly immortals, and he may not be able to defeat them.
However, if they can't defeat him, they can still run away. After running away, he can still come back and launch a sneak attack. At worst, he can give up the new domain first. With his strength, plus the help of the Honghuang Divine Cauldron, it is almost impossible for others to surround and kill him. He is more likely to counterattack by sneak attack.
Does this guy want to bury hundreds of earthly immortals and a hundred thousand elite soldiers here?
Chen Jiu was stunned for a moment, then sneered: "If he has the guts, come and try."
Does Jiajing have guts?
There is no doubt about this.
Jiajing was indeed like the Crown Prince Zhu Yijun, who would not tolerate anyone disobeying him. However, he was more tolerant and did not want to do everything immediately like the Crown Prince Zhu Yijun.
He liked to plan and strategize like a commander of a large army, and then advance step by step to eventually win the victory. At this moment, the Crown Prince Zhu Yijun was at most a reckless vanguard.
The news Zheng got was not false, because a few days later, Duke of Wei Xu Wenbi came to visit.
This guy obviously didn't come here to seek refuge with him, so Chen Jiu naturally didn't need to give him any face.
He even wanted to hide his strength. He did not summon any of the monkey monsters, bean soldiers, bat soldiers and the like. He also did not call upon Luo Yong, Yu Qi and other earth immortals, ghost immortals and demon immortals. He just sat alone in the huge hall waiting.
There was nothing on the huge sandalwood table, and he didn't even want to treat this guy to a meal.
Duke of Wei Xu Wenbi was also a bachelor. He walked in alone to face the big devil without any guards.
Chen Jiu raised his hand slightly, motioning for the man to sit down, and then he got straight to the point: "What is it that has brought you here to this desolate mountain, Duke?"
Duke of Wei Xu Wenbi stared at him for a while, then said solemnly: "Chen Jiu, I advise you to surrender quickly. The emperor is very angry this time. If you don't surrender, you will probably be cut into pieces."
Oh, so you are here to persuade us to surrender.
It's none of my business if he's angry.
He was cut into pieces. Do you think I was scared?
Chen Jiu said calmly: "Duke, you are kidding, right? Why should I surrender?"
Xu Wenbi shook his head slightly and sighed, "Chen Jiu, you don't know how serious the consequences of your wanton slaughter of earth immortals are."
Of course I know how serious the consequences are.
Chen Jiu still said calmly: "It's not me who wants to kill them, it's them who want to kill me, can't I fight back?"
Xu Wenbi sighed slightly and said, "You don't know yet, right? So many immortal palaces fell into the mortal world, squeezing the sky and the earth everywhere, causing tsunamis, tsunamis, and earth dragons rolling. Do you know how many people you killed? Let me tell you, the number of casualties in Nanzhili, Beizhili, Henan, Shanxi, and even Shandong and Liaodong is in the hundreds of thousands!"
Chen Jiu really didn't expect this.
However, it would be wishful thinking to expect him to surrender just because of this.
He still said calmly: "It was an unintentional mistake on my part. You have intentionally killed many more people than I have."
It seems like this kid is not making sense.
Xu Wenbi stared at him for a while, then said solemnly: "If you don't surrender, the Emperor will personally lead an army of 100,000 and hundreds of earthly immortals to fight in person. Do you think you can defeat them?"
Chen Jiu still said calmly: "If you have the guts, come and compete with me. It's useless to just talk."
Fine, Xu Wenbi stood up and said goodbye.
Chen Jiu looked at his back, his face filled with solemnity.
Is Jiajing really going crazy?
To be honest, he really didn't want to give up the territory that he had conquered with great difficulty.
Jiajing is not joking, he really comes!
A few days later, the bat soldiers brought news that the imperial army was marching south in a mighty force.
Jiajing seemed to be afraid that Chen Jiu didn't know he was coming, so he specially asked someone to erect a flag that was about ten meters long, with a long string of large characters on it.
"The True Lord of Lingxiao Shangqing Tonglei Yuanyang Miao Yifeixuan, the Nine Heavens, spreads the teachings and saves all living beings. He is in charge of the merits and demerits of yin and yang, and is in charge of the great way of thinking about benevolence. The Ziji Immortal Weng Yiyang Zhenren Yuanxu Xuanying enlightens and subdues demons. The Emperor of Zhongxiao, the Supreme Daluo Tianxian, is in charge of the Five Thunders, the Great Zhenren Xuandujing Wanshou Emperor, and he personally leads the army to fight"!
It was such a long string that Fu Qingfeng took several breaths before he could finish reading it.
Chen Jiu was speechless when he heard this.
It seems that this guy is really sick!
