“Just these few days? That shouldn’t be a problem.” Bie Donglai said casually, “What are you doing?”
Chen Luoyang waved the jade scroll in his hand and said to Xie Buxiu, ‘”‘ Send a message back. I have a new discovery in Xian Tian Palace. I won’t be returning to the headquarters for now. ‘
Although Xie Buxiu did not understand, he still replied respectfully, “Yes, this subordinate will do as you say.”
The news that Chen Luoyang had received would definitely have been received by Sect Master Jiang Yi as well. He believed that Jiang Yi had his own judgment and would decide what to do next.
After Xie Buxiu left, Chen Luoyang turned to look at Bie Donglai. ‘”‘ It’s not easy to determine who the target is now. We’ll wait and see, but the results should be out in the next few days.
“What are you planning?” Bie Donglai asked curiously.
Chen Luoyang turned around and looked in the direction of Xian Tian Palace. The matter of Xian Tian Palace will soon be settled.
“Emperor Zhou, you’ve come out of seclusion.” He stroked the jade slip with his finger.
“I’ve never met that little girl, but I’ve heard of her for a long time.” “You want to deal with her?” asked Bie Donglai.
“Not necessarily. We have to wait for further news.” ” That’s right, ” Chen Luoyang said. ” You still don’t know what happened in Zheng Yang City. ‘
He picked the key points and briefly mentioned them.
Bie Donglai’s eyes widened as he pounded his chest and stomped his feet.”lt’s a pity that I was stopped by a Supreme Martial Artist. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have missed it. It’s rare that this damned old ghost is willing to come out!”
Then, he quickly calmed down and said, “”According to what you said, that little girl from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty should have gone to the Western Qin
Dynasty to help old man Yun.”
Chen Luoyang nodded slightly and agreed with the other party’s judgment.
In the mortal world, the most prosperous and densely populated territories were basically the three great empires.
As for the Righteous Holy Lands, most of them were located within the territories of the three Majestic Empires, like a country within a country.
It was inevitable that there would be competition and friction between the two sides in terms of resources, wealth, population, treasures, and human resources.
If the issue of faith was involved, it would easily lead to a conflict between imperial power and faith.
The western paradise and the Azure Ox Monastery were the most obvious in this aspect.
The former was in the Western Qin Dynasty, while the latter was in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
Nominally, they belonged to the righteous path, but the tension between them was almost no less than the struggle between the righteous and demonic path.
In order to suppress the western paradise, the Western Qin Empire specially supported the dao sects to balance them out.
In the mortal world, the top three Daoist sects, Mount Taiyi, Mount Kunwu, and Mount Chicheng, were all in the Western Qin Empire.
On the contrary, the East Zhou Empire respected Buddhism and suppressed
Daoism. They supported the Buddhist Faction and suppressed the Green Bull Temple. They were balanced on the left and right and controlled in the middle.
In the mortal world, other than the western paradise, the three most powerful Buddhist temples, the Bodhi Temple, the Pure Land Zen Temple, and the Qielan Temple, were all within the Eastern Zhou Empire.
This time around, the western paradise helped the West Qin Empire stabilize the situation. How much of it was due to justice and how much was due to their own development? There were always different opinions, causing many people to speculate based on conspiracy theories.
It was because their relationship with the West Qin Empire was extremely tense.
And now, a weakened Western Qin was exactly what the western paradise wanted.
The premise was that there were no other outsiders who would start a new competition with them.
For example, the Green Bull Temple that actively entered Western Qin.
The East Zhou Empire and the Green Bull Temple in his territory had been at odds with each other for so many years.
In comparison, the Xian Tian Palace, which was located in the South Chu Empire, had a harmonious relationship with the South Chu Empire even though there were undercurrents.
However, the two of them could not compare to the East Zhou Empire and the Celestial River.
Like the Green Bull Temple, the Heavenly River Branch was located in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
However, unlike the discord between the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and the Green
Bull Temple. the relationship between the high-level exerts of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and the Heavenly River was relatively harmonious, even close.
Sometimes, allies were not enough to describe their relationship.
It was rumored that more than a thousand years ago, the old sword immortal of the Heavenly River had been close friends with the members of the royal family of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
For thousands of years, the two sides had been living in harmony. They had shared the same breath and advanced and retreated together on many major matters.
Especially more than a hundred years ago, when the entire Red Dust united to fight against Ye Tianmo, after the Zhou Emperor died in battle, the East Zhou Empire had no successor.
In Xian Tian Palace, even though Mister Tianji never returned to Xian Tian Palace, the conflict between him and the palace master Shan Jing was not known to many. Therefore, the outside world still treated Xian Tian Palace as one with Mister Tianji, and Xian Tian Palace had their own big shot in name.
In the Eastern Zhou Empire, no one had been able to fill the position for the past hundred years. At that time, the newly appointed Zhou Emperor had remained at the Martial Saint Realm.
It was all thanks to the support of the old sword immortal that the East Zhou Empire was able to maintain its prosperity.
It was only after more than a hundred years after the war with the otherworldly demons that the current Empress of the Eastern Zhou Empire descended and grew up in a short twenty years that the Eastern Zhou Empire regained its stability.
Before that, it was all thanks to the old sword immortal to stabilize the overall situation. He intimidated the Green Bull Temple internally and resisted the Western Qin, Southern Chu, and Fusang Island externally.
The Heavenly River did not take the opportunity to expand its influence or gain benefits in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
The old Sword Immortal did not interfere with the internal affairs of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. He was just like a silent pillar supporting the sky, supporting the overall situation of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty for a hundred years. It was not until the rise of a new giant in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty that he retired.
To be fair, the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and the Heavenly River had their own conflicts.
In comparison, the celestial river was old-fashioned and unyielding, and it would cry out if anything went wrong.
And the East Zhou Empire was all-encompassing in recruiting talents, so it was inevitable that there would be situations where the good and bad were mixed or there would be transactions.
Sometimes, conflict was inevitable.
However, the top figures of both sides had a good personal relationship.
The previous Zhou Emperor and the current Eastern Zhou Empress had always been grateful to the old sword immortal for protecting them.
Previously, the Empress of Dongzhou was in seclusion and did not participate in the Battle of Zhengyang City.
The old sword immortal and Reverend Puhui of the western paradise were heavily injured. It was all thanks to Mister Revelation that they were able to resist the pressure of Patriarch Blood River.
However, the two sides were still confronting each other in Zheng Yang City, and the side guarding West Qin was in a passive position.
Now that the Empress of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty had come out of seclusion, she would most likely head to Western Qin to help the old Sword Immortal.
Even though there were people from the East Zhou Empire who had charged into the West Qin, Chen Luoyang had noticed that the leader was the East Zhou general who was guarding the Qin-Zhou border.
The people who fought their way into Western Qin and opposed the old sword immortal of the Heavenly River did not include the experts of the Eastern Zhou royal family.
It was hard to say if the imperial family had issued a ban.
Perhaps there were also people in the royal family who had conflicts with the
Heavenly River.
However, after the Empress of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty came out of seclusion, there would definitely be a clear explanation.
As for the outcome of the confrontation between the two sides in Zhengyang City after the Eastern Zhou Empress came to the aid of the old sword immortal, it was still uncertain.
However, the stalemate in Zheng Yang City could be broken. There would be changes. Everyone would no longer be in a deadlock and would fight with all their might.
Mister Tianji might be able to get out.
At that time, the final outcome of the Xian Tian Palace would be revealed.
Cheng Ying Tian, who had personally killed the former Palace Master Shan Jing, had also received news from the Eastern Zhou Empire and had already rushed to prepare.
“If it was Ying Xiantian, that old man, he would be a tough one.” Bie Donglai smiled.
” It’s hard to say for now, ” Chen Luoyang said. ” But I believe that we will know soon.
He looked into the distance.
That was the direction of the West Qin Imperial Dynasty’s territory.
At the border of Western Qin and Eastern Zhou.
In the mountains, a large group of people had gathered together, covering the mountains and plains. At a glance, one could not see the mountains, only the people.
However, with so many people gathered together, the atmosphere was so silent that it made one’s heart palpitate.
Everyone present was a martial artist of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. Their cultivation levels were not low, and there were many Martial Saints and Martial Emperors among them.
The number of experts from the Eastern Zhou who invaded the Western Qin territory was huge, and they were scattered all over the vast territory.
However, the attacks had all stopped, and the leaders of the various places had returned to the mountains and waited silently.
The leader was wearing general armor and his aura was heavy like a mountain. Although his beard and hair were white, he didn’t look old and was extremely mighty.
Everyone around the old marshal looked over uneasily.
However, the old marshal’s expression remained calm as he looked at the distant Eastern Zhou territory.
After standing still for a long time, his expression suddenly changed, and his white eyebrows slightly raised.
Seeing this, the others were all excited and quickly focused their attention on the distance.
After a while, the sky suddenly darkened.
In the distant horizon, dark clouds gathered.
The dark clouds instantly floated closer and covered the sky above the entire mountain range.
Thunder rumbled and the mountain wind grew stronger.
In the next moment, rain fell from the dark clouds above.
The rain was not heavy, but it was continuous.
The dark clouds that covered the sky seemed to have a life of their own.
It came from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and moved toward the Western Qin Dynasty with the wind.
However, at this moment, it stopped above the mountain range at the border of Zhou and Qin, and the rain continued to fall.
The stability of the mortal world and the boundaries of heaven and earth far surpassed that of the Divine Lands. To be able to cause such a change in the celestial phenomena of the mortal world, the strength of the newcomer was evident.
The group of Eastern Zhou generals gathered in the mountains all looked into the distance.
Then, a middle-aged man appeared in the mountains with an oil-paper umbrella under his armpit.
The sky was dark and the wind and rain were heavy.
However, the moment this person appeared, everyone’s eyes would unconsciously focus on him.
The man did not open his umbrella, nor did he resist the rain like the Eastern Zhou warriors here. Instead, he allowed the rain to hit him.
However, despite the rain, his hair, skin, and clothes were not wet at all.
The middle-aged man came to the old marshal’s side and greeted him with a gentle tone, “”Elder Quan.”
“Mr. Cheng is here.” The old marshal returned the greeting with a solemn expression.
The middle-aged man bent over with an umbrella in his hand and gently hit his knees and calves. It seemed that his joints were uncomfortable because of the rainy weather.
After hitting him several times, he stood up again and smiled apologetically at the old marshal. Then, he said seriously,”His Majesty has issued an order to summon Elder Quan.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.” The old marshal said solemnly.
He turned his head and nodded at the other Eastern Zhou generals before leaving with Mister Cheng.
As they left, the pitch-black rain clouds immediately retreated and returned in the same direction they came from.
Soon, the sky above the mountain ridge was clear again.
The old marshal followed Mister Cheng for a while before leaving the mountain range and entering the plains.
Then, he saw a lone ox cart moving through the fields on the plains..
