Chapter 84 Uninvited Guests
Chen Jiu's trip to the underworld was indeed fruitful. Not only did he find Zhang Qian to help Jiaona regain her soul, he also obtained a large number of Blood Soul Pills. Even the Tree Demon King who refined the Blood Soul Pills followed him.
This time he also witnessed the true power of God. Although the god that suddenly appeared did not seem to be as powerful as the legend said, it was still much stronger than the earth immortals and ghost immortals he had seen.
His desire to become a god became stronger and stronger. If he could become a god, who in the imperial court, the underworld, or the wealthy families would dare to mess with him?
He was still frightened from the last ambush, and he really didn't want to live in fear like this anymore.
The problem is, he hasn't even cultivated the "Taiyin Sutra" to the Golden Elixir Stage, so it's unknown how long it will take him to cultivate into a god.
He had already broken through the eighth level of "Tiger Demon Divine Fist", but the amount of energy and blood required to break through the ninth level and reach the level of demon god was too terrifying.
He estimated that even if he ate all the Blood Soul Pills he had snatched this time, it would not be enough for him to cultivate to the peak of the eighth level, let alone the ninth level.
What should I do?
He sat cross-legged on the top of Linlang Peak and thought for a long time, but still was at a loss.
Suddenly, the sky darkened, as if night had fallen.
That's not right. It's only 3 p.m. now. There's still two or three hours before dark.
Chen Jiu looked up and couldn't help but frown.
The sky is overcast. Could something be happening?
He was just wondering when the old fox fairy came slowly towards him with Jiaona, Daqing and Xiaoqing.
At this time, Jiaona still didn't remember how to change her form. Daqing and Xiaoqing also turned back into white foxes, accompanying her on her left and right. She should have been in a good mood originally, but now her eyes were dull and she seemed a little depressed.
Seeing this, Chen Jiu couldn't help but ask with concern: "Ah Jiao, what's wrong with you?"
Jiaona said reluctantly, "Ajiu, I have to go back with my ancestors."
ah?
Chen Jiu couldn't help but turn around and said, "Ancestor, what's wrong? Isn't it good here? Why do you want to go back?"
The old fox fairy said helplessly : "Jiao Na has some impression of this place, but this is not the place where she practiced since she was a child. It takes her a long time to comprehend the skills again, and it is also difficult for her to transform. So, I want to take her back to have a look, and then bring her here after she transforms."
Well, okay.
There was no way. Jiaona had forgotten everything. She couldn't perform the Qingqiu Jue anymore and couldn't even transform herself. Although she had to practice from scratch, it was not so easy to comprehend the immortal-level skills.
It's just like him. He must have practiced in his previous life, but he can't remember anything, and all the skills have to be learned again.
Perhaps, she would gain enlightenment faster if she returned to the place where she had practiced since childhood.
Chen Jiu could only take out a bunch of big pears and peaches, and reluctantly said: "Ah Jiao, when you go back, you can practice with peace of mind. It should be quick to recover."
Jiaona was also reluctant to leave and said, "Ajiu, please wait for me to come back."
She is closest to Chen Jiu now, and she really doesn't want to go back.
However, the old fox fairy insisted on taking her back, and she had no choice.
Chen Jiu looked at Jiaona's reluctant figure, and his heart was really upset. As soon as the three white figures disappeared in the jungle, he jumped up and flew to the wooden shed where the demon king soup was cooked, and said in a deep voice: "Ali, bring a pot of wine."
Seeing this, Luo Li couldn't help but ask with concern: "Ajiu, what's wrong?"
Chen Jiu couldn't help but sighed: "A Jiao went back with the ancestor."
this.
Luo Li was stunned for a moment, and sighed slightly: "It's really heartbreaking to see Gillian like this. Don't be sad, she will recover."
After saying that, she opened the jar, took out a pot of wine, and slowly poured a glass for Chen Jiu.
Chen Jiu raised his head and drank it all in one gulp, then put the glass in front of Luo Li.
Luo Li sighed slightly and poured him another glass.
Chen Jiu picked up the wine glass and was about to drink it all, but when he looked up, he found a huge white figure slowly walking towards him.
He really hoped that it was Jiaona who came back, but unfortunately, it wasn't her.
That is the Sheep Demon King, and there is a fiery red figure on his back.
Why is this little girl running over here?
Under the guidance of the leader of the Qinglian Sect, Zhang Wanxia immediately saw Chen Jiu, who was holding a wine glass in a daze.
"Little thief, it's you!"
She jumped up without hesitation, spread her wings and flew to Chen Jiu.
Oops, too late to put on armor.
Chen Jiu was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to say.
When Luo Li saw Zhang Wanxia pointing at Chen Jiu aggressively, he immediately stood up and said coldly: "What are you doing?"
Upon hearing this, Luo Yong and Luo Meng immediately stood up, holding the hilt of the knife on their backs, ready to chop someone if they disagreed with them.
My little aunt.
Upon seeing this, the Sheep Demon King quickly transformed into an old man with a white beard, jumped up, and took Zhang Wanxia's hand and said, "Wanxia, don't be angry. The ancestor didn't ask us to cause trouble for him."
Zhang Wanxia snorted coldly, put down her hands, and said angrily: "Little thief, your name is Chen Jiu, right? Where is Zhao Chenggui? You are fooling the devil!"
Chen Jiu stood up awkwardly and said, "You are a guest from afar. Come, sit down and try this demon king soup."
Demon King Soup!
When the Sheep Demon King heard this, his expression changed.
Look how cruel you are! All the demon kings of the Zhao family were slaughtered and stewed into soup by you!
Zhang Wanxia was also shocked, and said blankly: "Little thief, if the Zhao family finds out about this, I will fight you to the death."
Oops, I let it slip!
From the relationship between this man and the demon, one can tell that the Demon King has a high status in the aristocratic family and has a very close relationship with them. It doesn't matter if the Zhao family knows about it, as the Zhao family and them are already hostile to each other anyway.
The key point is that if they try to poach the demon kings of other wealthy families in the future, they will probably become the target of public criticism!
Chen Jiu quickly laughed and changed the subject: "Ancestor Hongyun sent you here, what's the matter?"
Zhang Wanxia's attention was really drawn away, she sat down slowly, and said solemnly: "The ancestor asked me to tell you that the Crown Prince has issued an order, ordering all the noble families to attack the Qinglian Sect with all their strength, and anyone who refuses to fight will be expelled from the new domain.
And you, little thief, the Crown Prince has also offered a bounty for anyone who can kill your spirit, and will give him a piece of spiritual farm in the new domain."
Upon hearing this, Chen Jiu couldn't help but said with a strange look on his face: "Crown Prince? Is this guy sick?"
Zhang Wanxia said without hesitation: "Yes, this guy is notoriously arrogant and arrogant, and his actions are even more unscrupulous. He is really annoying."
Act recklessly?
Chen Jiu understood that it was the Crown Prince who ambushed him with more than a dozen earthly immortals that day!
He narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked with murderous intent, "Is this guy in Yidu?"
Zhang Wanxia was shocked when she saw him like this.
What happened to this little thief? He just acted like a guilty thief, but suddenly he became like a ferocious beast ready to eat someone. His aura is so scary!
She shrank her neck and said carefully: "Yes, the Crown Prince has already led his army to Yidu. Don't you know?"
It turned out to be this guy.
Just wait for me!
Chen Jiu said coldly: "His strategy of driving the tiger to devour the wolf is too despicable. He even used your spiritual fields as rewards. This is clearly telling you, get out if you don't obey!"
Zhang Wanxia nodded slightly and said, "Yes, this guy doesn't even take us seriously. I don't know what's going on with the current emperor. He favors this guy more than the crown prince and listens to him in everything."
You are so naive, you can't even think of this.
Chen Jiu shook his head slightly and said, "Isn't it obvious? The current emperor wants to deal with you. It's not as simple as favoring the crown prince. He just doesn't like you. What are you going to do?"
Zhang Wanxia nodded with a look of realization on her face, and then said solemnly: "Our ancestors said that we will not fight to the death with your Qinglian Sect. We only hope that you can help us resist the imperial army."
This old ancestor Hongyun is not a simple person either. He wants to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers!
Chen Jiu pondered for a moment and said, "Isn't that what Patriarch Hongyun said? Have you guessed the next move of the Imperial Army?"
This little thief is so smart.
Zhang Wanxia immediately took out a map and pointed at the red line on it and said, "Look, this is the route taken by the team sent by the imperial court to deliver the imperial edict. The ancestor said that they didn't seem to be here to deliver the imperial edict, but rather to spy on the situation in the new domain."
Chen Jiu looked down and understood instantly.
The imperial army was preparing to bypass the Yin-Yang boundary and attack the new territory from the southeast, while the Zhao family was gathering troops in the north. It was obvious that the two sides had discussed it privately and were preparing to attack the Qinglian Sect and other aristocratic families from both sides and divide the new territory.
He looked at the map carefully, then pointed to the area marked with green lines and asked, "Are you going to give these areas to us?"
This little thief is so smart!
Zhang Wanxia nodded slightly and said, "Yes, our ancestors said that if you are willing to help resist the imperial army, we will persuade the wealthy families in these places to give up their territory."
It was indeed a good plan. Once the Qinglian Sect took over these territories, the north, east and south would become one, and their territories would become the shape of a shield, blocking all enemies on three sides.
This is clearly an attempt to use a large piece of territory to lure the Qinglian Sect.
Chen Jiu simply asked: "Ali , what do you think?"
Luo Li said without hesitation: "It's fine if you think it's okay."
Chen Jiu thought for a moment and asked again: "Do we have enough manpower?"
Luo Li said without hesitation: "We have more than 100,000 troops, so it won't be a problem to send another 40,000."
Okay, then let’s settle accounts with that Crown Prince!
