Chapter 230 Cooperation, Trust!
Zhou Ling arranged for Jin Xuan and Shi Heshang, and Zhou An took Mei Yao to the prison cell of the Ministry of Justice. How could the minister of the Ministry of Justice dare to despise the person brought by the emperor himself? Under Zhou An's order, all prisoners to be executed were executed by Mei Yao.
Afterwards, Zhou An and Zhou Ling met up and came together to the divine domain, the headquarters where the gods had once disappeared.
The Dark Lord used the hidden communication method to contact him and met him in the Divine Realm. Zhou Ling also wanted to personally ask the Dark Lord about the Zhengyi Sect. This was the fastest way to get information.
The two arrived at the God's Domain Hall, which was originally the place where the gods would gather to discuss plans. Now only Marshal Ming was standing in the hall, looking at the huge emblem of the gods above.
"You finally contacted me on your own initiative. I thought you gave up on opening the gate to the earth." Zhou An said jokingly.
Ming Shuai turned around and glanced at Zhou Ling, then looked at Zhou An and said, "The Princess of the Spirit Tribe has practiced with you, so your strength cannot be judged by normal methods. It has actually made both of you successful. Am I right, Fairy Baihua, no, Hua Wuyue?"
White light flew out from the left hand ring around him, and he turned into Hua Wu Yue: "Marshal Ming is not looking for us to reminisce about the past, right?"
"You all already know the intelligence about the Hades. I think you should know how powerful the Kaiyuan God Clan is. We can either join forces and become allies, or we can go to war and let the God Clan benefit. It's your choice." said Marshal Ming.
Zhou An did not answer this question first, Zhou Ling immediately asked: "Before that, can you tell me why the Hades Clan must choose the Drunken Taoist to open the door to the earth, or why it must be a disciple of the Zhengyi Sect.
The only thing we have in common is the Zhengyi Sect’s mental method, which makes me curious about the relationship between the Zhengyi Sect and the Hades and Gods.”
Ming Shuai looked at Zhou Ling, raised the corner of his mouth and said: "You don't want to know."
"I came here just to know the origin of Zhengyi Sect." Zhou Ling said affirmatively.
The Dark Master snorted and laughed, then said: "The founder of the Zhengyi sect was the servant of Chongming, a powerful god in the past. It was Chongming who sealed my Dark Clan."
Zhou Ling was not surprised. In fact, they had long thought that Zhengyi Dao might have a close relationship with the God Clan.
"Zhou An, can you give me an answer now?" Ming Shuai asked again.
"This is the information I just received. Take a look at it first and I will answer you." Zhou An clicked on the smart bracelet and showed him the data information of Xianwu War Girl.
After all these years of seclusion, Marshal Ming had already become familiar with the Protoss technology. When he saw the data above, his originally calm expression turned into shock.
Zhou An went on to say, "I just happened to catch one this time. Curtis said it should be a mass-produced model. There must be real Immortal Warriors out there."
Ming Shuai regained his composure, looked at Zhou An and said, "We both have the willingness to cooperate, but we don't trust each other. Let me ask you first, state your conditions."
“I heard everything you said after you used the Drunken Taoist to open the gate to the underworld. Although you are the marshal of the nine legions of the Underworld, your prestige is not very good. I am very skeptical about your control over the Underworld.
You should be clear about how feasible the conditions you agreed to are." Zhou An said.
"Eavesdropping device!" Marshal Ming was surprised and said helplessly, "That's right, there is only one legion that can really listen to me. You told me this just to increase your bargaining chips."
Zhou An smiled and said, "Let's work together to eliminate the Kaiyuan clan. Then I will definitely help you open the door to the earth."
"We don't trust each other. How can I trust you? Will you destroy the bridge after crossing it?" Ming Shuai asked calmly, looking at Zhou An's expression.
"If I hadn't deliberately let it go, you would never be able to open the gate to the earth, and the three legion commanders would never be able to get out. This is my sincerity shown to you, and now it's your turn to show your sincerity." Zhou An said.
Ming Shuai frowned, and after a few minutes of silence, he said, "I'll give you some information. The emergence of the Jiuzhou Continent Protoss branch is the result of the internal conflicts within the Protoss.
The gods of Jiuzhou Continent seek coexistence, while the gods of Kaiyuan Continent seek domination. The suspended flying blades used in their armor are uniformly named Zhuxian, which means to kill all immortal cultivators.
Your destruction of the Jiuzhou Protoss is good news for the Kaiyuan Protoss. They have been sending people for you to eliminate one after another just to confuse you and make you think that the Jiuzhou Protoss has been completely destroyed by you. The next protoss you meet will all be from the Kaiyuan Empire.
In this way, they can sit back and watch you and the Jiuzhou God Clan continue to fight. No matter who wins or loses, it will be a good thing for the Kaiyuan God Clan.
The true power of the gods, even though they are far less powerful now than during the war of all races, is definitely not something you can compare to now. You are just a pawn in their hands.
At the same time, the Immortal Execution Sword is a trap they set for you to fight against the Hades. I came to you because I don’t want us to fall into the trap of the Gods.”
Zhou An was surprised. If what Marshal Ming said was true, then these executives were probably just abandoned children of the gods, because they had no such information in their memories, nor did they know the term "Xianwu War Girl".
Zhou An looked at the other party and said after a while: "Then let's have a preliminary cooperation. Let's deal with the God Clan first. I will fight with the Kaiyuan God Clan. How about the Ming Clan fight against the Jiuzhou God Clan?
If you want to cooperate more deeply, at least you will have real decision-making power, instead of your subordinates waiting to see you step down."
"Okay, I accept your proposal." After saying this, Ming Shuai turned into gray-white smoke and disappeared.
As he left, Hua Wu Yue said, "The six major races back then, even though they suffered heavy losses, are still behemoths to this day, but now they all have big problems internally."
"The intelligence we got this time is very valuable. It points us in a direction." Zhou An smiled and continued, "Zhou Ling, Zhengyi Dao, how do you decide to deal with it?"
“Now that I know the origins of the Zhengyi sect, I will naturally no longer be a running dog of the God Clan. Now I just can’t let go of my fellow apprentices.
Although Marshal Ming hopes to cooperate with you, there is no guarantee that his men will capture the junior brothers and sisters to open the gate to the earth. The Soul-Calming Division is in urgent need of manpower now, not to mention that the Qianyuan Soul-Calming Division cannot do without us. I want the junior brothers and sisters to truly become soul-calming masters.
As the Qianyuan Empire grows stronger, it will be difficult for martial arts sects to survive in the future. The Soul-Calming Division is the best place for us to go, and we can also get the protection of the empire. If the Hades wants to capture us, they should at least consider the emperor. "Zhou Ling said.
"Xingyan also said that you used to be a cultivator who only knew how to practice." Zhou An said with a smile.
"Xingyan is a talkative girl. I'll give her a lesson when we get back." Zhou Ling snorted, looking slightly embarrassed.
Zhou An went on to say, "The position of the Hades Marshal cannot replace the decisions of the Hades. The Hades Legion Commander will definitely target other people, even you. In your last life, you had to rebuild because you failed the Nine Heavenly Tribulations. Are you sure this time?"
"My understanding of Taoism will naturally be deeper after practicing again than in my previous life. In addition, I also have the skills passed down by the Zhengyi Sect. With my current magic weapons and skills, the nine-fold thunder tribulation is not difficult. The problem is still the inner demon tribulation. I don't know if I can make it through it."
Speaking of the nine-fold inner demon calamity, Zhou Ling showed a look of fear and recalled his failure in his previous life.
"Shuyao said that in the words you left behind, you said that the new owner of the Kongling Immortal Mansion has a marriage relationship with you. If you don't mind, how about becoming my Taoist partner? My dual cultivation method can refine the devilish energy and help you pass the nine-fold heavenly tribulation, so that you will have the confidence.
In your previous life, you were helplessly killed in the ninth heavenly tribulation, which has left a shadow on you and made the inner demon tribulation more difficult.
With my protection, you only need to survive the nine-fold thunder tribulation. Even if you fail the inner demon tribulation, I can still help you. Now I really need a partner I can trust." Zhou An said.
Zhou Ling looked at Zhou An, her face just slightly blushing. As for her marriage with Zhou An, she had already figured out a little bit before she passed the ninth heavenly tribulation in her previous life. Of course, she only knew that the person she was destined to marry was the next master of the Kongling Immortal Mansion, so it was impossible for her to know exactly who it would be.
But in this life, she has Zhou Ling's memories, and what she really resists in her heart are the words of her fellow junior brothers and sisters.
Hua Wu Yue saw through her thoughts at a glance and said, "You have already recovered most of your memories of your past life. Do you still care about rumors?"
Zhou Ling nodded: "I raised Jin Xuan. When I was in Zhengyi Dao, my master handed him to me. He was just a baby. He is like my own brother. I can't ignore what he says."
Zhou An said: "Jin Xuan is simple, just leave it to me."
"Okay, if Jin Xuan agrees, I will become your Taoist partner." Zhou Ling said, feeling a little secretly happy and shy.
In fact, several ladies and disciples of Kongling Immortal Palace all knew about the relationship between Zhou An and Zhou Ling.
Jin Xuan also noticed something, which is why he felt that Zhou Ling was distancing himself from him and felt a little upset.
She had calculated her own destiny back then, and her chance to achieve immortality also came here. After recovering these memories, she had already regarded herself as Zhou An's Taoist partner in her heart, but she was just not able to say it out loud.
Seeing Hua Wu Yue reaching the Earthly Immortal Realm, she was still very envious, and secretly blamed Zhou An for not taking the initiative to ask to become a Taoist partner.
I even suspected that I was not good-looking and that he looked down on me.
It's not her fault that she thinks so. The women around Zhou An are all as beautiful as fairies. Zhou Ling is already very beautiful. She was admired by many fellow disciples in Zhengyi Sect. However, compared with the ladies in Qianyuan's harem, she is not so outstanding.
Only Bai Yijun can truly surpass everyone in temperament and beauty.
Afterwards, they returned to Qianjing, but just as they left the Divine Realm, Zhou Ling suddenly screamed, "Jin Xuan and Monk Shi crushed the jade talisman for help!"
