Chapter 200: Huge benefits, shocking scandal, and the trustworthy character of the Saint Jiang Lan

Zhou Zhenwu's armor was torn into pieces, his golden hair was covered in blood, and his eyes were wide open with an expression of unwillingness.

After the two generals, the turtle and the snake, extracted the inheritance of the Great Emperor Zhenwu from his body, it was as if all his heart and spine were drained away, and he completely collapsed to the ground.

But at this moment, no one paid attention to him. From his high-spirited state at the beginning to his miserable situation now, it can be said that he has gone from heaven to hell. Even the monks of Dongyuan Prefecture have no sympathy, only sighs.

When the great era begins, all the geniuses will step on the corpses of others and ascend to the only supreme throne, and there will be piles of corpses and countless blood under their feet.

Even Zhou Zhenwu, a young man who had never been defeated, swept across Dongyuan Province without restraint, and was hailed as the Young Emperor, became a stepping stone for others and was trampled on the ground.

More people's eyes were now focused on the tall and slender figure in white, unable to hide their admiration and respect.

Jiang Lan closed his eyes slightly, and did not refuse the inheritance of Emperor Zhenwu brought by the two generals, the turtle and the snake.

Just now, he suddenly stared at Zhou Zhenwu, and suddenly felt a powerful aura surging from him, which might affect his fortune.

As expected, after accepting the inheritance from Emperor Zhenwu, Jiang Lan felt a rumbling aura pouring down into the Niwan Palace, which had not changed for a long time.

In the deep and dark void, there was a sound like a river bursting its banks, and wisp after wisp of mysterious air was spreading and pouring continuously.

The ancient vine began to tremble, and each leaf became greener and more crystal clear. One of the green leaves was wrapped with the inheritance of Emperor Zhenwu, turning into a pattern that looked like a turtle, a snake, and a sword.

Many profound memories emerged in Jiang Lan's mind. There seemed to be a tall and burly figure, standing with a sword on his feet, looking down on the countless demons between heaven and earth.

Then a sword light slashed down, as if the universe was split in half. The mighty power was so great that it reached far and wide, and all the demons were frightened away.

"This secret art of fighting and exorcising demons has fallen into the hands of Zhou Zhenwu, which is really like a pearl covered in dust."

Jiang Lan slowly opened his eyes, exhaled softly, and a dark golden light flashed in the depths of his eyes.

The secret art of fighting and exorcising demons, when combined with the Four Spirits Ancient Heavenly Skill which can also enhance combat power, can be said to complement each other, and the effect is by no means as simple as one plus one.

At this moment, Jiang Lan was confident that he could easily kill the half-step powerful Fairy Caiyun in Biyou Cave Heaven without using the power of the small world and other hidden means.

As he accepted this part of the inheritance of Emperor Zhenwu, he felt even more that he had a sense of "being favored by heaven and earth" that he had never felt before, and it seemed that the true meaning of heaven and earth was echoing in his every move.

The inheritance of Emperor Zhenwu not only represents inheritance, but also seems to have a kind of aura that he cannot explain now.

Of course, the benefits are also huge. No matter it is the Dao Fruit of Life, the Dao Fruit of Years, or the Dao Fruit of Realm, they are all nourished by luck.

Especially the Life Path Fruit, which is on the way to mature to the fourth stage. Furthermore, with the naked eye, a faint golden color can be seen emerging on the surface of the Life Path Fruit. When the whole thing turns golden, it will be fully mature to the fourth stage.

Jiang Lan felt that once the Fruit of Life matured to the fourth stage, his control over life would reach an indescribable level of horror, and it would no longer be as simple as manipulating the rules of life.

The Dao Fruit of Sui, which has also matured to the third stage and is transitioning to the fourth stage, has not changed that much.

As for the Dao Fruit of the Realm, it is still in the first stage.

The fourth Dao Fruit of Luck showed no signs of change, and the difficulty of maturing it was far greater than any of the previous Dao Fruits.

Jiang Lan still has no idea what this fourth fruit of luck will produce.

Fa Miaoyin and a group of elders and disciples from the Goddess Palace were all quietly waiting for Jiang Lan without disturbing him.

Seeing him open his eyes at this moment, all the beautiful girls came forward to thank him, with intoxicating fragrance and sweet words.

After expressing their intention to follow, the two generals, Turtle and Snake, turned into two streams of light and flew into the iron-blooded ancient battle flag standing on the Four Spirits Ancient Chariot. There was obviously a space of its own inside.

Jiang Lan probed with his spiritual sense and saw that it was shrouded in gray fog, like a desolate and ancient Gobi battlefield. He could not see the outside world. After making sure that it would not affect his observation, he felt relieved.

He casually took the Four Spirits Ancient Chariot, and also took in the four handsome ancient creatures that pulled the chariot. It was obvious that Zhou Zhenwu had put a lot of thought into the show.

These four descendants of the gods have extraordinary bloodlines and huge potential. They may have the opportunity to break through to the seventh level in the future. For now, they are barely suitable to pull his cart.

"Thank you very much, Saint Son Jiang Lan, for your help. On behalf of the entire Goddess Palace, we are grateful."

A stream of light fell here and transformed into a middle-aged Taoist nun-like woman when it landed. She was none other than the elder with the seventh realm cultivation level who had just rushed out of the Goddess Palace.

Unfortunately, he was not as strong as Zhou Zhenwu, and was forced back by one punch, suffering a lot of injuries.

Fa Miaoyin greeted him, and then asked in confusion about what happened in the Goddess Palace.

The elder who looked like a Taoist nun sighed, and then explained what happened in the hall to the puzzled eyes of many disciples around her.

Palace Master Lou Long was determined to protect Xiao Teng, even at the expense of his disciples outside...

Her words obviously contained magical power, and her voice was not loud, but it could be heard by the monks and creatures around her.

For a moment, many monks were shocked and surprised.

The looks of many people changed.

If the Goddess Palace really insisted on protecting Xiao Teng, they would ignore the disciples and elders from the outside world, activate the mountain protection formation, and guard against him for ten days or half a month.

The origin of Tianxuan would probably be completely absorbed and refined by Xiao Teng. Even if there was a way to extract it in the end, it would not necessarily be complete.

Some people also thought that the Goddess Palace also had its eyes on the Tianxuan Origin, and this was a deliberate release of the news, and they must have already taken Xiao Teng down...

Just as everyone was discussing and deciding whether to join forces to attack the Goddess Palace, the mountain protection formation that originally covered the mountains suddenly erupted with a huge momentum, and soon the light dissipated, the fog cleared, and it became clear. The Goddess Palace withdrew the mountain protection formation.

Several figures filed out, led by a white-haired old woman. Her steps were not fast, but with every step, the mountains shook and the earth rumbled violently, as if an earthquake had occurred.

There is a terrifying life force surging in its body like a vast ocean, which is more like a deep abyss. It is terrifying when viewed from afar.

"An Eighth Realm Great Power? And this is not just an ordinary Eighth Realm Great Power. It is estimated that he has survived four or five heavenly tribulations..."

"This is the previous Palace Master of the Goddess Palace, Zhuang Feihua. She was once at the eighth level of cultivation. Now, she is probably even more unfathomable and has entered the ranks of the most powerful."

Many monks who had gathered from the surrounding mountains recognized the old woman approaching, and their expressions changed instantly, with some fear and dread.

Among those who are fighting for the origin of Tianxuan, there has not yet been any powerful person with the eighth level of cultivation. Even if some people covet it, they just hide in the dark, boasting about their status, cherishing their reputation, and not wanting to tarnish their reputation.

There are also some people who, because they have their own beliefs in their hearts, want to seek a broader path in the great changes of heaven and earth. They are disdainful of the origin of Tianxuan and believe that they can break through the nine realms and ascend to the sainthood with their own talents.

The white-haired old woman Zhuang Feihua is a truly powerful being. Ordinary powerful beings may not be able to withstand even a single blow from her.

At this time, those who had previously clamored for the Goddess Palace to hand over Xiao Teng began to back off, fearing that Zhuang Feihua would take action against them.

Taoist Chi Jiao and Lang Guyun, who had already stepped half a step into the eighth realm, also restrained their aura and did not dare to be too arrogant.

The Palace of the Goddess has existed for a long time, and its foundation is by no means comparable to that of immortal sects like the Biyou Cave Heaven. In an age when saints do not take action, a powerful person in the eighth realm can easily walk across the land of Kyushu.

For a moment, the area near the mountains became dead silent.

"Thank you, Saint Jiang Lan, for your help. On behalf of the entire Goddess Palace, I would like to thank Saint Jiang Lan for his help today."

Behind Zhuang Feihua followed Ji Xuanxin, the Grand Elder of the Goddess Palace, and others. After she walked out of the mountain gate, she did not pay attention to the people around her, but came to Jiang Lan first to express her gratitude.

She had been in seclusion, comprehending the laws of heaven and earth, trying to go further in the Jieqiao realm.

If Ji Xuanxin's incarnation had not come to the stone chamber and knocked on the door to wake her up, she would probably not know that the Goddess Palace had encountered a drastic change and its thousand-year foundation was almost destroyed.

If we really allow these disciples outside to sacrifice themselves, I am afraid that from now on, the disciples and elders will become alienated from the sect.

She has no face to face all the masters for teaching such an ungrateful disciple.

"Palace Master Zhuang, you don't have to be polite. Miaoyin and I have a very good personal relationship. Seeing her many fellow apprentice sisters in such danger, how could I stand by and watch them die without helping them?"

When Jiang Lan saw that Lou Long, the Palace Master of the Goddess Palace, did not show up, he already knew what had happened.

He smiled and nodded slightly, but he did not show any respect to the most powerful person in the Eight Realms and his attitude seemed very casual.

Zhuang Feihua didn't care about these things either, and said with emotion, "Saint Son Jiang Lan acted out of righteousness and had a sense of justice. He didn't take advantage of my Goddess Palace at this critical moment. I really can't repay such a kindness."

She looked at the many disciples and elders who had just been injured, and said with a guilty look on her face, "Lou Long has violated the sect's rules and betrayed the sect. He has been removed from his position as Palace Master. It is impossible for our Goddess Palace to abandon any of our fellow disciples just because of an outsider."

"I failed to discipline you and taught you a disciple like this. You have been humiliated. I am sorry for you..."

Zhuang Feihua's attitude was very humble, and she did not have the dignity of a powerful person in the Eighth Realm. As soon as she opened her mouth, she took all the responsibility on herself and began to apologize, with guilt all over her face.

The dissatisfaction of many disciples who had originally been dissatisfied with the Goddess Palace also disappeared.

Some sentimental disciples thought they would die outside the mountain gate just now. When they heard the old palace master's words, their mouths sank, their noses felt sore, and they began to sob softly...

Such a scene made many cultivators and living beings around stunned, and they didn't understand what was happening.

However, many young monks felt sorry for the beautiful women who were crying and sobbing with their shoulders trembling. They only regretted that they had not stood up just now, otherwise they might have won their hearts.

"My Goddess Palace has no intention of competing for the origin of Tianxuan, nor does it intend to take it for itself. Xiao Teng has now been imprisoned in the dungeon because his life experience is involved in a scandal in my Goddess Palace."

"Therefore, I beg you fellows to give me a few days. After I have dealt with Xiao Teng, I will definitely hand him over to you. My Goddess Palace will not touch the origin of Tianxuan at all."

After pacifying all the disciples and elders, Zhuang Feihua looked at the many cultivators around him. His old voice contained tremendous magical power, like the vibration of thunder in the sky, and the void was buzzing.

Many people with weaker cultivation felt their blood boiling and almost lost their balance, about to fall from mid-air.

Obviously, although there was an explanation for Zhuang Feihua's move, it was also intended to deter others.

People like Lang Guyun and Taoist Chi Jiao all looked gloomy, but they did not dare to refuse directly.

The same is true for the other monks.

People from various sects in Dongyuan Prefecture, Xiling Prefecture, and Beihai did not dare to say much and easily offend a powerful figure who had reached the eighth realm and survived at least four or five heavenly tribulations.

Seeing the dead silence all around, Zhuang Feihua breathed a sigh of relief. She also didn't want to make the scandal of the Goddess Palace public.

"Humph, high-sounding, who cares about the scandal of your Goddess Palace? The Tianxuan origin in Xiao Teng belongs to everyone in the world, how can you be allowed to monopolize it for several days?"

"After so many days, I have understood everything I should understand. The Goddess Palace is thinking too well..."

At this moment, a sinister and sneering voice sounded in the void, full of mockery and dissatisfaction.

Hearing this, Zhuang Feihua's face changed.

The cultivators and living beings here couldn't help but show joy on their faces, as a powerful being in the eighth realm had appeared!

"Ji family? Ji Liansong?"

"You want to get involved too?"

Zhuang Feihua stared at the place where the words came from.

Ripples appeared in the void, and an old man wearing a black robe and with his hair tied into a Taoist bun with a bamboo hairpin walked out from there.

There were some figures following him, and Ji Mingxuan, a handsome man in a purple robe and with a jade-like face, followed closely behind him.

Ji Mingxuan's gaze swept over Zhou Zhenwu, who had his eyes wide open and lifeless not far away and seemed to have cut off his heart meridians, with some complexity.

Then his gaze fell on Jiang Lan again. The fighting spirit rising in the depths of his eyes then faded away, covered by a gray and dejected look, and finally turned into despair and powerlessness.

He clenched and unclenched his hands, took a deep breath, and managed to keep himself calm.

Jiang Lan's strength has made him not have the slightest desire to catch up with him. If he is defeated by him, he will probably never have the chance to see him again in this life.

Even someone as powerful as Zhou Zhenwu had such a tragic ending. In comparison, his ending was still considered good...

"When I was fighting with your master, you were just a little kid, but now you dare to call me by my name."

The old man in the black robe looked at Zhuang Feihua with a contemptuous and casual tone, and a hint of sneer.

Zhuang Feihua's expression changed again and again. The two men looked very old, but the old man in the black robe, Ji Liansong, was the ancestor of the Ji family of Taiyi Sect and had lived for thousands of years. She really didn't expect that such an old thing would be born.

Only Jiang Lan's eyes flashed with deep meaning. It can be said that among the Taoist forces in Zhongtianzhou, only the Ji family and the Wang family were the most eager for the origin of Tianxuan.

Even if it means paying a price, they want to fight for it. They really need a saint to check Li Ran. Especially in this generation, Jiang Lan and Li Mengning have suppressed the rest of the younger generation, leaving them with no chance of making a breakthrough.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Otherwise, if this continues, Taiyi Sect might become the Li family's one-man show.

"Haha, Old Monster Ji is not interested in the scandal in the Goddess Palace, but I am a little curious. Is it just a joke or is it true?"

At this time, a faint laughing voice was heard again in the void, and a shining portal appeared, then spread and cracked, and an elegant and easy-going middle-aged man stepped out of it.

He didn't have a very powerful aura, but standing there, he looked like a deep abyss and a towering mountain, intimidating.

Beside him, Wang Huan from the Wang family stood silently, very quiet, but his eyes still inevitably fell on Jiang Lan, with a sigh in his eyes.

For a moment, the surrounding mountains fell silent again. Many people swallowed, unable to hide fear in their eyes.

There is no doubt that this is another powerful figure in the eighth realm.

This is the foundation of Taiyi Sect, the leader of the immortal sects today. If they unite to face the enemy, which force would dare to provoke them?

The eyes of many disciples and elders of the Goddess Palace were filled with shock, and many disciples subconsciously looked at Jiang Lan who was standing aside.

He is the holy son of Taiyi Sect. If he can speak for the Goddess Palace, it should be useful.

At this moment, Zhuang Feihua's expression had become completely solemn.

There are two powerful figures, among whom Ji Liansong is even more powerful than her.

"You two are walking pretty fast, without even saying hello. I wanted to go together, but are you trying to avoid me?"

At this time, a light laugh sounded in the void on the other side, accompanied by sparkling light rain, as if petals were falling, and a man in a flowery robe with a jade-like face, a feminine expression, and fair skin appeared.

Beside him, Jiang Lan saw a familiar figure, his step-aunt Li Qingxuan.

Li Qingxuan naturally noticed him as well and smiled at him. Her dimples were shallow and her pair of small fangs were very obvious.

"unlucky……"

The elegant middle-aged man from the Wang family and Ji Liansong, the old weirdo from the Ji family, couldn't help but curse inwardly when they saw the man in the flowery robe appear. It was obvious that they were old acquaintances.

Especially the elegant middle-aged man, he could no longer keep the smile on his face, and even looked a little regretful.

Jiang Lan connected the memories in his mind and recognized this person, Li Yuanhua. It sounds like a female name, but he is actually a man. He is fond of men and practices the Li family's Zhiyin Nine Turns Qiankun Gong, and has a profound cultivation level.

He is also the master of Yuanhua Peak, who is ranked in the top ten of the inner sect. He is very strict in accepting disciples and only accepts those with regular facial features, good appearance, strong physique, and who are over 30 years old.

The appearance of Li Yuanhua made the already silent outside of the mountain gate of the Goddess Palace even quieter, so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.

The old ghost of the Ji family and the elegant middle-aged man stopped talking. They obviously didn't want to pay attention to Li Yuanhua and just stared at Zhuang Feihua.

However, when Li Yuanhua saw that they ignored her, she turned her gaze to Jiang Lan and smiled at him gently.

Jiang Lan felt strange and got goose bumps for the first time, but she still nodded and smiled back.

In front of the mountain gate, the atmosphere dropped to freezing point.

The faces of many disciples and elders of the Goddess Palace turned pale. They had never seen such a scene before. Who wouldn't be terrified? Zhuang Feihua wanted to shock the people outside by herself, but who knew that three powerful figures appeared in Taiyi Sect.

According to her perception, there were actually several powerful auras spying in secret, but after Taiyi Sect intervened, they all chose to retreat quietly and dared not show up again.

She smiled bitterly in her heart, but there was nothing she could do. She didn't dare to fool around like she did just now. She could only cup her hands and sigh, "To be honest with you, if this scandal gets out, I'm afraid that my Goddess Palace will become a laughing stock for everyone to talk about after dinner or before tea..."

At that moment, she told the story in detail about the complicated relationship between Daxia's national master Ge Qixing, Lou Long, and Xiao Teng.

Everyone knows that Xiao Teng is the third son of Zhenbei King Xiao He, but according to Zhuang Feihua's story, the fact is not so. Xiao Teng was only raised by Zhenbei King Xiao He.

His biological mother was Lou Long, the former Palace Master of the Goddess Palace, and his biological father was Ge Qixing, the Imperial Master of Daxia...

In addition, a vital item in the Goddess Palace is also in Xiao Teng's possession.

As soon as these words were spoken, the entrance to the Goddess Palace, where one could hear a pin drop, became even quieter and only the sound of breathing could be heard.

Not only the various Taoist forces, but even many elders and disciples of the Goddess Palace were shocked and unbelievable.

Many disciples opened their mouths wide in disbelief.

If someone else had said this, they would still be suspicious, but Zhuang Feihua was the previous Palace Master of the Goddess Palace. How could she say such nonsense in front of everyone? No wonder the Palace Master had tried so hard to protect Xiao Teng before.

"this……"

The elegant middle-aged man was also stunned for a moment. He thought that Zhuang Feihua's previous words were just to fool people. He spoke in a joking manner, but who knew that he would ask such explosive news.

If this gets out, Zhongtianzhou will be in a turmoil.

"This Great Xia Zhenbei King Xiao He, this is his true nature..."

"I've heard before that he has been pursuing the Palace Master of the Goddess Palace, but I didn't expect that he would go this far. I really admire him."

"The Great Xia Imperial Master Ge Qixing is truly a role model for our generation."

"It turns out that he really loves her. Even if it is her child, he is willing to raise it. The King of Zhenbei has done something that we can't do."

After realizing what was happening, many people couldn't help but be moved, and began to sigh with admiration on their faces.

Of course, more people mocked and ridiculed it and could not understand it at all.

After a long period of noisy discussions, the area in front of the gate of the Goddess Palace finally quieted down.

At this moment even Ji Liansong and his companions didn't know what to do. After all, the Taiyi Sect was not yet powerful enough to ignore all the immortal sects in the world and do whatever they wanted.

Just now, they forced the Goddess Palace to hand over Xiao Teng because they thought Zhuang Feihua's words were a cover to fool people, but who knew it was actually true.

In this case, continuing to force them would only backfire and they would be accused of bullying the weak. After all, the Taiyi Sect is the leader of the immortal sects and a famous and upright sect, so they have to be reasonable in everything, otherwise they will not be able to convince the public.

At this time, Zhuang Feihua's ears moved slightly and he heard Ji Xuanxin's voice beside him.

She reacted quickly, and then looked at Jiang Lan, and said with a request, "My Goddess Palace has no intention of coveting the origin of Tianxuan. This matter can be witnessed by Saint Son Jiang Lan."

"Jiang Lan is the future Emperor of Heaven and represents Taiyi Sect. He has great righteousness in his heart and helps all living beings. I believe no one can distrust his character. If my Goddess Palace wants to occupy the origin of Tianxuan, he will definitely not let us do whatever we want."

"So, I only ask that you can give the Goddess Palace three days. After three days, I will definitely hand Xiao Teng over to you for your disposal."

As soon as she said this, everyone in the mountains looked at each other.

The three great men of Taiyi Sect were still standing here. Even though they were worried that Jiang Lan might do something during the process, no one dared to say a word of objection at this time.

If he stood up at this time, it would mean questioning Jiang Lan's character, and also questioning Taiyi Sect...

Ji Liansong's old face was expressionless. Although he was an ancestor-level figure, he could not look down on Jiang Lan, a junior.

If he shook his head at this moment, wouldn't that be publicly showing his disagreement with Jiang Lan? No matter what, Jiang Lan now represented the face of Taiyi Sect.

"As for the character of the Holy Son, there is naturally no need to say more. I believe that you will not have any objection?" He nodded slightly, then swept his eyes around.

The elegant middle-aged man smiled and agreed.

"With the Holy Son here, we naturally feel at ease. Let alone giving the Goddess Palace three days, even three months is fine." Li Yuanhua's voice was a little feminine, and she echoed with a smile.

Ji Liansong and the elegant middle-aged man both twitched their faces. Judging from Jiang Lan's performance when he accepted the Son of God's inheritance at the Son of God Ceremony, three months was probably enough for him to comprehend the origin of Tianxuan thoroughly several times.

The three of them made the decision unanimously, and naturally no one had any objections.

Everyone in the Goddess Palace breathed a sigh of relief, and many elders and disciples looked at Jiang Lan with gratitude in their eyes.

Soon, what happened outside the mountain gate of the Goddess Palace today spread quickly to all places as if it had wings.

Jiang Lan's strength had already spread everywhere, but the battle in which Zhou Zhenwu challenged him made his strength rise to a new level, even taking on a mythical color.

The four ancient spirit chariots recognized their master, the two generals, the turtle and the snake, claimed to be the future emperor of heaven and took the initiative to follow, and received the inheritance of the Zhenwu Emperor...

Any one of them can be said to be a major event that caused a sensation.

Among them, the affair between Daxia's national teacher Ge Qixing and the goddess palace master Lou Longjian caused a sensation and caused uproar.

Who would have thought that Xiao Teng was their illegitimate son...

It is a hot topic in the streets and alleys and on street corners in every city.

Zhenbei King Xiao He was also famous, and was given all kinds of strange names. Some people suspected that he had some kind of fetish...

After hearing the news, the Queen of Daxia stayed in the palace for a long time and it took her a long time to recover.

For this reason, many cultivators rushed to the gate of the Goddess Palace, following the people before them, and waited there for three days. The crowds of people were like a sea of ​​people, waiting for the Goddess Palace to hand over Xiao Teng in three days.

Many people were secretly excited, thinking that after three days, they might be able to catch a glimpse of the origin of Tianxuan and comprehend it.

In the Goddess Palace, Jiang Lan, under the leadership of the old palace master Zhuang Feihua and the great elder Ji Xuanxin, met Xiao Teng, Lou Xinyu, Ye Shiyan and others who were imprisoned in the damp and dark Xuanxing Meteorite dungeon.
