Jiang Changsheng quickly thought of a way to make use of the Evil Lord.
First of all, he could not allow the Evil Lord to act recklessly in the Great Jing.
When the Evil Lord entered the Great Jing and started to hurt people, he could capture the Evil Lord and force him to go to the hostile dynasties of Great Jing to absorb their strength. When he became stronger, he could come back and continue to challenge him, and the cycle would repeat.
Not only could the Evil Lord help Great Jing weaken the enemy, but he could also continuously provide him with survival rewards.
The more Jiang Changsheng thought about it, the more feasible he felt this plan was.
Yu Yanyi said worriedly, “The Evil Lord is getting stronger every day. As long as he is strong enough, he will definitely target you. It is said that a Golden Body realm expert from the Ruins of End Mountain has been completely drained by him and turned into a cripple. The Ruins of End Mountain is one of the upper three Chao Sects, so the Evil Lord is really bold. Right now, the Chao Sects are chasing after him.”
Jiang Jian asked curiously, “What is the Evil Lord’s current realm? Golden
Body? Or has he surpassed the Golden Body realm?”
He had always been curious about the realm above the Golden Body realm, but
Jiang Changsheng expressed that he did not know. He knew that his Grandmaster was pretending, so he could only take this opportunity to ask Yu Yanyi.
Yu Yanyi looked at him and said, “I’m also not sure. It’s rumored that the
Golden Body realm is not the end of the martial arts path. However, the Fuyue Family is not sure what realm is above that. Perhaps the old monsters of the upper three sects would know.”
Jiang Jian was disappointed.
Yu Yanyi looked at Jiang Changsheng again.
Jiang Changsheng said calmly, “People still have a future. There’s no need to worry. Thank you for your reminder. I won’t be careless when facing him.” Yu Yanyi revealed a smile. She was here to remind Jiang Changsheng in hopes of attracting his attention.
After all, he was the famous Dao Ancestor. She was worried that he would underestimate the people of the world.
She stayed for a while longer and then left reluctantly.
Jiang Jian was attracted by the world she described. He knew that the world was huge, but he did not expect it to be so huge. Great Jing was not the strongest Luck Dynasty, nor was it the largest dynasty in its continent. There were countless experts in the martial arts path.
Jiang Changsheng did not think much of it. He would wait for the Evil Lord to come.
That night, Jiang Changsheng snuck into the palace and found Jiang Ziyu. He told him about Chen Li and gave him the address. He did not request Chen Li to become a high-ranking official, but at least he should be able to step through the threshold.
For such a small matter, Jiang Ziyu naturally agreed.
However, he was curious as to who Chen Li was to have Jiang Changsheng come personally. Therefore, he decided to personally meet Chen Li tomorrow.
In the wilderness, the mountain range within a radius of dozens of miles was filled with pits and cracks. Trees fell and dust flew. There were even several small mountains that had been split into two.
Jiang Luo stood on a mountain peak and looked at the two figures in the sky from afar.
One of them was his master, the white-haired man. He was the Evil Lord that made the martial arts world tremble in fear.
The other person was a man in the brocade robe who claimed to be from Destiny. He wore a straw hat and looked very mysterious.
The Evil Lord’s right palm was condensed with true qi, as if a blood flame was burning. He revealed a contemptuous smile and said, “Is this all the strength of a Venerable from Destiny? It seems like a Venerable is not that strong. With your strength, you dare to call yourself a Venerable and attempt to dominate the dynasties? You’re really overestimating your abilities.”
The man in the brocade robe did not reveal his appearance, but from his heaving chest and trembling right hand, he did not gain an advantage in this battle.
“As expected of a genius from Xiansheng Grotto-heaven. Unfortunately, no matter how strong you are, you are not the number one in the world. You are not even among the top five,” the man in the brocade robe coldly said.
The Evil Lord slowly approached him and sneered. “So what if I’m not? It’s enough to kill you.’
The brocade-robed man suddenly turned around and transformed into dozens of afterimages as he dashed in different directions at an extremely fast speed.
The Evil Lord frowned, but he did not give chase. Instead, he turned around and landed in front of Jiang Luo.
Jiang Luo asked, “Master, why aren’t you chasing after him? Don’t tell me you can’t see through his real body?”
The Evil Lord said, “That person’s movement technique is indeed mysterious. In addition, he is flying in the direction of Great Jing. It is inappropriate to chase after him.
Jiang Luo said, “So what if he goes to Great Jing? I am the prince of Great Jing, and that is my territory.”
Speaking of which, he still did not know what Great Jing looked like. However, the Four Seas Sage had mentioned that when he went to the capital with the birthmark between his eyebrows, someone would naturally come and fetch him into the palace.
The Evil Lord was still frowning. “Something’s wrong. He seems to be deliberately luring me to Great Jing. Perhaps it has something to do with the recent battle in Jinghuang. If I were to absorb the strength of the martial artists in Great Jing, Great Jing’s war would definitely be affected. If the Dao Ancestor were to take action because of this, the war between the two dynasties might just end right there. Besides…” “Besides what?” Jiang Luo continued to ask.
The Evil Lord said, “The Dao Ancestor is very powerful and cannot be underestimated. I even feel that I am not his opponent.”
“How is that possible? Master, you have more than a thousand years of cultivation!”
“Even though I have more than a thousand years of cultivation, I cannot easily kill Dongfang Zhuo, let alone move a thousand-foot tall mountain. Even though I have not seen the Dao Ancestor move a mountain, the news had spread all over the world. What if it’s true? Even if your father is the Dao Ancestor’s disciple, he might not let me off on your account. I cannot be careless. We should bypass Great Jing and go south and go by the sea.”
The Evil Lord said seriously. Great Jing gave him a strong sense of uneasiness. He did not want to take the risk.
Since he had created such a divine technique, he should fight steadily and not be impatient for quick success.
Puzzled, Jiang Luo asked, “You’re not going to absorb the dragon vein?”
The Evil Lord shook his head and said, “Naturally, I have to absorb it. However, Great Jing is your homeland and you are its prince. How can I harm your family? I am prepared to take you overseas. When I surpass the Golden Body realm, I will help you reach the Golden Body realm. When we return, the world will have undergone a drastic change. The heavy snow from before is already a sign. It is better to leave first.”
Jiang Luo nodded and asked, “What signs did you see from the snow?”
The Evil Lord turned around and looked to the north. He said with a complicated tone, “Xiansheng Grotto-heaven is about to change.”
Jiang Luo frowned. He was extremely unhappy when he heard the words Xiansheng Grotto-heaven.
It had been forty years since the start of the Qianwu Era. After half a year of adjustment, another winter passed. After ensuring that there would be no more snowstorms, the Emperor ordered Xu Tianji at the East Forest to launch an attack and devour the territory of Great Wilderness.
In the past half a year, the Emperor had dispatched many martial arts experts.
Even the reserve forces of the Heavenly Strategy Army had been dispatched. Officials from the 49 states had been transferred to the East Forest, ready to take over the Great Wilderness Dynasty at any time.
The Emperor vowed not to stop until he devoured Great Wilderness. From the officials of the imperial court to the working commoners, everyone could sense the Emperor’s determination.
However, at that moment, another inappropriate voice sounded.
Some people claimed that the previous snow disaster was a warning to the Emperor, hoping that Great Jing would stop the war. There were more and more such voices. Too many people had died in the snow disaster last year, and many citizens were holding back their grievances. They had nowhere to vent.
They had forgotten that their current life was far better than decades ago. They only knew that they had suffered and had to find someone to vent their anger on.
When Jiang Ziyu received comments from various places presented by the Tianxia Division, he snorted and said, “If I had not fought against the various dynasties and made the other dynasties dedicate themselves to Great Jing, how could you fools be so lucky today? If not for the wars we went through, Great Jing would have been destroyed dozens of years ago and even its seeds would have been extinct. How many people would have died then?”
Jiang Xiu said, “Father, could it be that someone with ulterior motives deliberately incited this rumor? Such words are most beneficial to Great Wilderness.”
Jiang Ziyu remained unmoved and said, “Pass down my orders. Anyone who gathers people to incite these rumors will be executed. Since you call me a tyrant and a bloodthirsty emperor, I will let them have a taste!”
Jiang Xiu wanted to say something but hesitated.
The prime ministers of the three provinces looked at each other, not daring to refute Jiang Ziyu.
Right now, Jiang Ziyu’s prestige was too great, and no officials in the court dared to provoke him.
The Jiang Family’s imperial power had always been domineering.
The news of the Holy Decree spread very quickly. In a short span of three months, it was received by all forty-nine states. For a moment, all the states were in a state of panic.
On the other side, eighty thousand miles away, Great Jing once again launched an attack on Great Wilderness. Great Wilderness that had lost three True Gods continuously retreated and the cities fell one after another.
Longqi Temple, in the courtyard.
Jiang Changsheng raised his hands and Ping’an sat in front of him with a silly smile.
Now, Ping’an’s hair was white, but he did not look old at all.
“In another month, he should be completely healed.”
Jiang Ziyu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that.
Ping’an’s fight against that Golden Body realm expert almost caused him to die in battle. After he was sent back to the capital, Jiang Ziyu called for the best doctors in Great Jing to treat him. However, he was still worried, so he brought Ping’an here for Jiang Changsheng to examine.
Jiang Changsheng added, “After this injury, some of his acupuncture points have been opened and he will become stronger in the future. This can be considered a blessing in disguise.”
He sighed with emotion.
What a monster.
Jiang Jian was personally trained by him, and he also had the help of fate.
Ping’an was different. It was all based on his physical talent. Now that he was a True God, if he could improve further, the Golden Body realm might not be an extravagant hope.
Jiang Ziyu’s eyes lit up and he asked, “Then does he have any hopes of reaching the Golden Body realm?”
He wanted a Golden Body realm expert.
With a Golden Body realm expert, even Chao Sects had to bow their heads!
Jiang Changsheng nodded and said, “It takes time and luck to reach the Golden Body realm.”
Jiang Ziyu smiled and reached out to stroke Ping’an’s head. Ping’an grinned at him.
After a while, Jiang Ziyu left with Ping’an.
With a reluctant expression, Jiang Jian lamented, “I really want to fight him.”
When Ping’an saw his three-pointed double-edged sword, he was momentarily interested. He picked it up and played with it without any effort. This scene even made people think that the three-pointed double-edged sword was very light.
Bai Qi teased, “Forget it. Be careful not to be beaten to death by him. That guy’s brain isn’t good. He doesn’t hold back and can easily knock you into depression.”
Jiang Jian rolled his eyes.
Jiang Changsheng returned to meditate under the tree and continue his cultivation.
He was thinking about something else. Why was the Evil Lord still not here? He had never heard of anyone in the martial arts world of Great Jing being sucked dry.
Could it be that he was not coming?
Jiang Changsheng began to sense Jiang Luo’s reincarnation mark. As soon as he sensed it, he realized that Jiang Luo had arrived to the south of Great Jing. From this distance, he had probably set off to the sea.
He could basically confirm that the mysterious martial artist Jiang Luo followed was the Evil Lord because their incense points were the same and they were also the same in real time. He had used the incense calculation to ask several times, so it was impossible for it to be such a coincidence.
Forget it. Since they had already set sail, let them be.
If the Evil Lord did not have the intention to harm Great Jing, Jiang Changsheng could not forcefully capture him. After all, there was no grudge between them.
He stopped thinking about it and focused on his cultivation.
A month later.
Heng Feng from Xiansheng Grotto-heaven came to visit Jiang Changsheng. Jiang Changsheng was secretly disappointed that he did not see his master, but he still asked Heng Feng to go up the mountain..
