Chapter 190 Seeking Help
Above the clouds, Lady Jiuxuan looked at Zhou An with a fearful look.
Master Long Xuan was also wary and said in a sour tone: "Zhou An, three members of the Shenyin have died at your hands. Do you plan to kill all the members of the Shenyin and only have your people left?"
Zhou An spread his hands innocently and said, "When I killed Yufeng, I didn't know about the existence of Shenyin. Madam Bai Gu was the one who first lurked in our country and killed our people. She has nothing to do with this Conferred God Plan.
"I didn't do anything to this Ziji Zhenren. I said I would let my subordinates do it, but Ziji and Yuanzhen did it themselves. They are blaming me for their deaths? Do you want me to find all my subordinates and watch them kill their way into my palace?"
"Master Ziji, you shouldn't kill them all." The Ghost Mother also showed deep vigilance. They could understand the deaths of Yufeng and Baigu, but the death of Master Ziji had threatened their safety.
"The leader said at the beginning that everyone should control themselves in the Battle of the Gods. If you don't want your own disciples to die, you should discipline your own people. Are you regretting it now?" Hua Wu Yue snorted and glanced at these people.
Several people were secretly angry, but there was nothing they could do.
"Everyone should be careful from now on. There are too many variables in the Conferred God War. When the gods built the Conferred God Platform, they did not expect that the entire tribe would be involved."
The Shenyin leader spoke calmly, glanced at Zhou An, then turned into golden light and flew away, while the others flew away with a hum.
Returning to the Qianyuan Palace, Zhou An was overjoyed and directly rewarded all those who had made contributions this time. They all received the Merit Xuan Guang, and everyone was happy. Killing a member of the Shenyin was much more valuable than destroying a country.
The newly joined monks in the court this time saw with their own eyes that they had obtained the mysterious light of merit, and this time they really believed it. They were full of curiosity and awe about Zhou An's origins, and each of them was eager to make merit.
This is also Zhou An’s purpose. As long as they have this urgent need, he will naturally have a greater chance of winning the Battle of the Gods.
After announcing his retirement from court, Miro took Rosa back to the Red Blood Demon Palace to refine the essence and blood he had absorbed this time.
They all felt sorry for Master Zi Ji who was turned into ashes by the Eight Desolate Divine Fire Formation. Otherwise, if Rosa had absorbed the essence and blood of a cultivator of the Great Innate Perfection, she might have been able to reach the peak of the ninth level and face the ninth level of heavenly thunder.
Now, Qianyuan's demon generals are no longer too afraid of the nine-fold heavenly thunder. Instead, they are eager for the heavenly calamity to come soon.
When adjourning the court, Zhou An asked Zhou Di, Zhou Yang, Zhou Yuan and Zhou Lingsha to go to Baihua Palace with him.
The four of them were still surprised. When they arrived at a garden in Baihua Palace, they saw a five-year-old child soaking in a bathtub with many flowers and plants in it. The child was lying lazily, and it was obvious that he was very comfortable.
The originally dull and yellow skin has now turned white and rosy. In just a few days, he has become full of energy and vitality.
"Laojiu, you didn't give birth to a baby secretly, did you?" Zhou Yuan asked curiously.
"Impossible, even if my brother has a child, it can't be that big." Zhou Lingsha knew Zhou An best and of course knew that this was impossible.
"He is the son of my eighth sister, Yuan Ming." Zhou An recounted the situation of Yuan Ming and Zhou Xianyun in detail, but omitted the information about the Seven Illusion Demon Lord.
The four were shocked and angry when they heard this, and they were saddened by what happened to the eighth sister. They also felt a new kind of pity for Yuan Ming.
Zhou Yuan sighed and said, "Fortunately, Lao Jiu discovered it in time. Yuanyang Country, humph, I will make them submit to Qianyuan one day. I will definitely not spare any of that bitch family."
Zhou An said: "Second brother, the Ice and Snow Empire is preparing to attack the Ice Customs. I need you to lead the troops to guard the Ice Customs. I will let Cangming lead the monks of Xiuxin Pavilion to help you."
"Okay, I'm the most suitable person to guard Binghai Customs, but Fourth Sister..." Zhou Yuan was helpless. It would have been fine if he didn't know before, but now that he knew it was Fourth Sister who gave the order to attack Qianyuan, he felt very uncomfortable.
"I have asked the Purple Guards to investigate. Fourth sister is not being controlled. She wants to be our enemy on her own, and I don't know the reason yet." Zhou An was also puzzled, but he didn't understand Fourth sister. After all, the age gap was too big. Fourth sister was sent to the Ice and Snow Empire that year, but he was too young to know it at all.
Zhou Yang frowned and said, "Fourth sister is dignified and gentle, and kind. She should not hate us at all, so why must she attack us?"
"I will continue to investigate. If it is a misunderstanding, that would be great. I am afraid that if it is not a misunderstanding, my second brother will need to bring her back. If there is really no other way, I will have to imprison her in the palace for life."
Zhou An was helpless, he didn't want to face this kind of thing. Sometimes he thought that his temperament was not suitable for being an emperor. It was okay for outsiders, but if it was his closest relatives, he would always be very partial and it would be even more difficult to be ruthless.
Even towards people with whom he has a very good relationship, he would behave more gently, which is indeed not the characteristic of an emperor.
He understood this about himself, which was why he handed over almost all state affairs to Shangguan Rong. She had the courage and sufficient strategy.
For example, his methods towards his own family seemed gentle, but he never let them off. The Shangguan family was also forced to change gradually due to the current situation. This was a subtle strategy.
Even the Shangguan family is like this, not to mention other big families in the country, whose mindsets are gradually being changed.
Several people nodded. This was already the best result. If it were any other emperor, the fourth sister and her family would definitely be beheaded.
At this moment, in the temporary palace of Yuanyang Kingdom, Yuan Heng's face turned purple with anger. He never expected that with so many cultivators on his side, they would have to flee in panic when facing the eight generals of the Qianyuan Demon Tribe.
He had smashed everything that could be smashed in the bedroom.
At this time, a ball of light flew in from outside and landed in front of Yuan Heng. A yellow-haired Taoist appeared. This person was Yuan Heng's master Qi Jue.
"Greetings, Master." Yuan Heng suppressed his anger and stepped forward to salute.
“Yuan Heng, this battle is not your fault. Fellow Daoist Yuan Zhen and Fellow Daoist Zi Ji both underestimated the power of the Eight Desolate Divine Fire Formation.” Qi Jue shook his head and sighed.
"Master, the Eight Desolate Divine Fire Formation is so powerful. How can I break through Qianyuan? I beg for your guidance." Yuan Heng asked hurriedly.
“As far as I know, in the whole world, only Fellow Daoist Long Xuan from Jiulong Island in Haizhou has the possibility to break the Eight Desolate Divine Fire Formation.” Qi Jue said, stroking his beard.
"Haizhou Jiulong Island? But I don't know anyone on Jiulong Island, and there is no one to introduce me. How can I meet Senior Long Xuan?" Yuan Heng asked.
"You will know when you go." Qi Jue said, and turned into a ball of light and flew away.
"Haizhou Jiulong Island!" Yuan Heng muttered. He wanted to go there overnight, but was worried that it would be too abrupt, so he had to wait until dawn.
He couldn't sleep all night because his mind was filled with images of the Blood River Array and the Eight Desolate Divine Fire Array.
As soon as the sun rose, he flew to Kowloon Island on his sword.
After flying for half a day, we just landed on the beach of Kowloon Island and saw two boys already waiting there.
One of them stepped forward and asked, "Is this the Emperor of Yuanyang?"
"That's right." Yuan Heng replied quickly.
"The island owner has asked us to wait here for a long time. Please follow us." The two made a gesture of invitation.
Yuan Heng thanked him and followed him towards the hill in front of him with a little nervousness.
The place where Master Long Xuan practiced was an ordinary hilltop. He sat on the back of a turtle-like sea beast, surrounded by water.
The two boys bowed and said, "Teacher, the Emperor of Yuanyang Kingdom has arrived."
"Greetings, Senior Long Xuan." Yuan Heng immediately knelt down and kowtowed.
Master Long Xuan opened his eyes, glanced at Yuan Heng, and said calmly: "I already know why you came. The Eight Desolate Divine Fire Formation gathers the power of eight ancient flame beasts.
My Nine Dragon disciples' Nine Dragon Divine Water Formation just happens to restrain him. I have ordered them to wait outside and follow you down the mountain to help you break this formation."
Yuan Heng was pleasantly surprised and immediately bowed to express his gratitude.
"Go." After saying this, Master Long Xuan closed his eyes again, as if he had entered a state of meditation.
Yuan Heng stood up and left with a happy face. He didn't expect that this trip would be so smooth. It turned out that his master was not lying to him.
After Yuan Heng left, the Hidden God leader appeared next to Long Xuan, and Long Xuan immediately said, "Are you sure the leader will mobilize the power of the Divine Realm?"
“Zhou An’s strength is beyond my expectations. Your Nine Dragons Divine Water Formation can break the Eight Desolate Divine Fire Formation. If he sends out other cultivators, the Divine Realm will certainly help. Otherwise, the Divine Realm will not interfere too much.” said the Hidden God’s leader.
“Okay, as long as no one else interferes, the Eight Desolate Divine Fire Formation, humph, my Nine Dragons Divine Water Formation will be able to break it.” Master Long Xuan said confidently.
