Chapter 89: Cooperation between the Southern Emperor Changsheng and the Moon Lord Ji Changsheng
’s desire to kill is rising.
He discovered that it was really easy to gain merit at the foot of the mountain.
It’s also good for practicing magic.
It's no worse than those doomsday worlds.
However, even though Ji Changsheng was filled with murderous intent, the deputy prime minister did not show any excitement. Instead, he quickly poured cold water on Ji Changsheng: "Elder Ji, their background...may really be greater than yours."
Ji Changsheng didn't care.
When it comes to background, I, the Great Emperor of Antarctica, am not afraid of anyone.
As if seeing Ji Changsheng's fearlessness, the deputy prime minister cautiously reminded him, "Elder Ji, you don't think that Xuandu Temple doesn't have descendants of the princes and nobles of Sheng Country, do you?"
Ji Changsheng narrowed his eyes.
"It doesn't matter if there is."
It's normal.
Before, the Bai family even wanted to seek the position of the master of Xuandu Temple. There must be a force within Xuandu Temple that supports the Bai family.
"Now the master of Xuandu Temple is in power, and the era of the Bai family is over." Ji Changsheng said calmly: "Those people are definitely in the same party as the Bai family, and they are the ones who need to be liquidated. There is no need to worry about resistance from Xuandu Temple."
Hearing Ji Changsheng say this, the deputy prime minister and other loyal ministers breathed a sigh of relief.
This is indeed a reassurance.
If Ji Changsheng can't deal with Xuandu Temple, then their actions will be meaningless.
In the final analysis, many things only make sense when the gods above choose their side first, and then the struggle of the people below will be meaningful.
In a world where one can cultivate great power and bring it to oneself, it is unrealistic to expect the people below to awaken themselves and change the world.
Xuandu Temple is the greatest fairyland in this world.
With only Ji Changsheng's support, the "Zhongzheng" can only do it despite the threat to their lives.
But with the support of Xuandu Temple, the "Zhongzheng" people really saw the possibility of success.
The deputy prime minister looked at Cao Ziming again, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.
Cao Ziming naturally saw the deputy prime minister's actions and frowned, "Just say whatever you want to say."
The deputy prime minister asked, "Mr. Cao, what is the attitude of Danqing Pavilion?"
Cao Ziming asked curiously, "Danqing Pavilion cultivates righteousness, so they will naturally stand on the side of justice. Why are you worried about Danqing Pavilion?"
The deputy prime minister smiled bitterly: "Who is responsible for defining the word 'justice'?"
Ji Changsheng's series of actions made him look like a demon from a cult.
But Ji Changsheng killed so many people and his merits increased.
Where can I go to seek justice? The deputy prime minister, a man who had almost reached the end of his dynasty by relying on political tricks, had a deep understanding of this aspect.
He also has no filter towards Danqing Pavilion.
Seeing Cao Ziming's still puzzled expression, the deputy prime minister told him about an incident that happened in Sheng State two years ago.
"Mr. Cao, did you know that Danqing Pavilion once recruited disciples in Sheng Country two years ago?"
Cao Ziming shook his head: "I don't know, I don't care about these things."
Not many people who practice cultivation are willing to deal with trivial matters.
In other words, those who are responsible for handling trivial matters for the major immortal sects are mostly disciples who have no talent for cultivation, or disciples who have no room for improvement.
People like Cao Ziming are geniuses.
Even if he didn't practice in seclusion, he would go down the mountain to do good deeds and would not be responsible for trivial matters such as recruiting disciples.
The deputy prime minister was not surprised by this.
"If it was Mr. Cao who was responsible for recruiting disciples for Danqing Pavilion two years ago, perhaps that tragedy would not have happened."
"What tragedy?"
"Mr. Cao doesn't seem to know that our Sheng country has a blessed land called 'Danqing'!"
Swish! The sharp sword was unsheathed.
The cold light is radiating.
Cao Ziming's face turned pale, and for the first time he had the idea of killing people.
"Say it again!"
Cao Ziming forced himself to control his anger.
The deputy prime minister glanced at Cao Ziming and felt relieved when he realized that Cao Ziming didn't know about this matter.
Although Cao Ziming is full of murderous intent now, it is definitely not directed at him.
"Mr. Cao, there is a blessed land in our Sheng Country, called Danqing. In the past ten years, all the disciples recruited by Danqing Pavilion from Sheng Country came from Danqing blessed land, without exception."
"You bastard!"
Cao Ziming's eyes turned bloodshot and he walked out with a sword in hand.
Fortunately, Ji Changsheng had been paying attention to him and pulled Senior Brother Cao back in time.
"Brother Cao, please be patient and listen to what the Deputy Prime Minister has to say."
Cao Ziming gritted his teeth and said, "I will kill all those scums in Danqing Fudi. Junior Brother Ji, you are not allowed to compete with me for it."
Danqing Pavilion was the top immortal sect that stood by Emperor Ying’s side a hundred years ago.
The predecessors of Danqing Pavilion a hundred years ago once abandoned their own class interests for the sake of the people of the world.
The motto and foundation of Danqing Pavilion is "The dream of scholars and knights throughout the ages is to be willing to write blood and sweat in painting."
If the cultivation world has a conscience, then Danqing Pavilion must be the one that represents the conscience of the cultivation world.
In order to practice their beliefs and persistence, their position has never changed, even though they had exhausted most of the Danqing Pavilion's resources a hundred years ago, causing Danqing Pavilion to slip from the top of the immortal sect.
As a disciple of Danqing Pavilion who has received orthodox education in Danqing Pavilion for decades and is very proud of Danqing Pavilion, how could he accept that in this secular world, Danqing Pavilion has changed its way of life?
This is a collapse of faith.
Ji Changsheng patted Cao Ziming on the shoulder and consoled him, "Don't worry, I definitely won't compete with you for it."
"Deputy Prime Minister, please continue."
The deputy prime minister looked at Cao Ziming and felt a little hesitant.
He was very worried that if he told the whole truth, Cao Ziming would cut ties with Danqing Pavilion on the spot.
But he couldn't help but listen to Ji Changsheng's words.
So he told what he knew: "As far as I know, Danqing Fudi was jointly established by the Bai family, the royal family, Tongtian Chamber of Commerce and Danqing Pavilion."
Click!
Cao Ziming simply crushed a corner of the chopping board in front of him.
He was completely unaware and stared at the deputy prime minister: "You mean, someone in Danqing Pavilion knew about the establishment of Danqing Blessed Land?"
The deputy prime minister nodded and smiled bitterly, "Mr. Cao, you should know that the reason why the blessed land is a blessed land is because of the Soul Gathering Array. The major blessed land merchants are all backed by immortal sects. How can ordinary people, including independent cultivators, get the Soul Gathering Array?"
"Why isn't it the Danqing Pavilion Spirit Gathering Array Diagram provided by Tongtian Chamber of Commerce?" Cao Ziming asked.
This is what it means to still have illusions.
The deputy prime minister felt a little sorry for Cao Ziming.
Because he has been through this stage.
Who doesn’t have a dream at the beginning?
When he first entered the court, he did not come for petty gains.
Unfortunately, the passion was wiped out by reality.
It eventually became what it is today.
Cao Ziming seems to be following his old path.
The deputy prime minister sighed inwardly, and then explained: "The spirit gathering array diagram is also different from the spirit gathering array diagram. The selling point of Danqing Blessed Land, which is very different from other blessed lands, is that as long as you live in Danqing Blessed Land, the effect of studying will be doubled."
Cao Ziming didn't say anything else.
He just dug his left fingernail deep into his palm and let the blood flow.
He needed some physical pain to suppress the pain in his heart.
Ji Changsheng patted Cao Ziming's shoulder again to comfort him.
Danqing Pavilion is different from other sects. They cultivate righteousness.
One of the effects of having a righteous spirit is that you can study faster than others.
Therefore, Danqing Pavilion produced not only great heroes but also great scholars.
For Danqing Blessed Land to have this kind of effect, it must be the spirit gathering formation diagram that flowed out from within Danqing Blessed Land.
Ji Changsheng thought about it and took the initiative to defend Danqing Pavilion: "Maybe Tongtian Chamber of Commerce bought it from Danqing Pavilion. Brother Cao, you also know that Tongtian Chamber of Commerce is very wealthy. As long as there are enough spirit stones, there are very few things that cannot be bought."
Cao Ziming closed his eyes and tears rolled down from the corners of his eyes.
This scene is not funny, it just makes people feel sad.
"Junior Brother Ji, there is no need to comfort me. Even if the Soul Gathering Array Diagram was bought by Tongtian Chamber of Commerce from Danqing Pavilion, the source must be Danqing Pavilion. Moreover, the name Danqing Blessed Land has already explained everything. If it did not get the consent of the Pavilion, would Tongtian Chamber of Commerce dare to use the name 'Danqing Blessed Land'?"
In terms of financial resources, Tongtian Chamber of Commerce is certainly stronger than Danqing Pavilion.
But in terms of strength, who doesn't have a sword immortal? If Tongtian Chamber of Commerce wants to touch the Danqing Pavilion, the price it needs to pay is too high, and there is no need for it.
"If all the disciples that Danqing Pavilion recruited from Sheng Country in the past ten years were from Danqing Blessed Land, I don't believe that no one in the pavilion knows about this."
Cao Ziming's tone became calmer: "Junior Brother Ji, I am simple, but I am not stupid."
What could Ji Changsheng say? Seeing Cao Ziming calm down, he knew that Cao Ziming's murderous intention had become more determined.
But it's no big deal.
Just killing people.
wrong.
Just a murderous scum.
This is to eliminate harm for the people.
Cao Ziming opened his eyes and regained his composure. He looked at the deputy prime minister and said calmly, "Go on, what else is there?"
There is indeed an inside story.
"According to my understanding, the profit sharing of Danqing Blessed Land is 10% for the royal family, 20% for the Bai family and Tongtian Chamber of Commerce, and 50% for Danqing Pavilion."
Glancing at Cao Ziming, whose face was calm and unperturbed, the deputy prime minister continued, "After Elder Ji killed Bai Shi, the Bai family quickly declined. The 20% of Danqing Fudi... has been transferred to Danqing Pavilion."
Cao Ziming nodded and continued to ask: "You just said that if I was responsible for recruiting disciples for Danqing Pavilion two years ago, perhaps that tragedy would not have happened. What tragedy was it?"
The deputy prime minister sighed softly: "Two years ago, our Sheng country had an unparalleled genius."
"Peerless genius?"
"Yes, she learned to write at the age of three, and composed poetry at the age of five. She could speak fluently at the age of seven, and had a photographic memory at the age of ten, and could recite the classics of sages by heart. What's more commendable is that she came from a very ordinary family, and all of this was achieved through her own talent."
Cao Ziming and Ji Changsheng were both moved.
This is indeed a peerless genius.
Such people have appeared in history, and in the mortal world, they can usually be remembered in history and become famous officials. In the world of cultivation, such people must also have extraordinary talents.
Judging from the other party's learning ability, he is particularly suitable for Danqing Pavilion.
"And then?"
"Later, she surpassed all her peers who had lived in Danqing Blessed Land since childhood. When Danqing Pavilion was recruiting disciples in Shengguo two years ago, all the gambling houses put her name first. Because of her outstanding talent, she began to be targeted by the powerful."
Having said that, the deputy prime minister glanced at the "evil cult monster" third prince who had just died.
"The third prince once came to ask for marriage."
"Propose a marriage?"
Ji Changsheng and Cao Ziming were both stunned.
"Is it a woman?"
"Yes, her name is Zhuo Fanghua. She may be the most beautiful woman since the founding of Sheng Nation."
The deputy prime minister's tone was full of regret: "Her talent was overflowing. When she was seventeen years old, she stayed at a classmate's house in Danqing Fudi for one night. The next day, she awakened her noble heart."
Cao Ziming took a deep breath. "In that case, her talent is higher than mine, and she is already comparable to the Azure Lotus Sword Immortal. If we accept her as our disciple, as long as she doesn't die prematurely, Danqing Pavilion will definitely have another genius in the future. But I have never heard of this girl's name."
"She's dead."
Cao Ziming's heart sank.
Ji Changsheng's eyes also dimmed slightly.
He had guessed the answer long ago.
But even after confirming it, I still feel a little sad.
"How did he die?"
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"She rejected all the offers from the rich and powerful, and also rejected all the marriage proposals. She also announced to the public that she was devoted to the immortal path and had no intention of pursuing the secular world."
At this point, the deputy prime minister shook his head: "She is too arrogant and thinks she can be successful with her talent."
Ji Changsheng interrupted the deputy prime minister and said, "Things in the world should be handled by those who are capable. People with ability and talent should be able to succeed with their talent and ability. Burying the talent is a shame for Shengguo, not her fault."
The deputy prime minister naturally did not dare to refute Ji Changsheng. He just smiled bitterly and said, "That being said, the princes and nobles in the court do not have the vision of Elder Ji. They only promote their own people to the top. No matter how talented Zhuo Fanghua is, she will not be recommended by them. Zhuo Fanghua thinks that she can stand out with her talent, but in fact, she does not even have the opportunity to participate in the assessment of Danqing Pavilion. Because her parents make a living by farming. All their savings added up are not enough to pay for a set of blessed land in Danqing Blessed Land in advance."
"In the end, she failed to take part in the Danqing Pavilion's assessment?" Cao Ziming frowned and asked, "How could a genius be buried to this extent?"
He didn't quite believe it.
His background was also very ordinary.
But it was because of his talent that he joined Danqing Pavilion.
Because he had participated in it, Cao Ziming knew that the assessment trials of Danqing Pavilion were not conducted by a single person, but were supervised.
Moreover, the rules and style of the Danqing Pavilion are there. If a genius prodigy like Zhuo Fanghua is so famous, he doesn't believe that such a thing can be suppressed if the Danqing Pavilion turns a blind eye.
But it is obvious that Cao Ziming understands spiritual practice but not reality.
As it turns out, it can really be suppressed.
The ultimate move of the Saint Zhunti - No Zhunti, will always have great power in the hands of a superior.
The deputy prime minister said: "Although Zhuo Fanghua did not bow her head, she also tried to save herself. Danqing Pavilion is the holy land she has always longed for, so the day before the assessment, Zhuo Fanghua visited the elder who was in charge of the assessment at Danqing Pavilion at that time, hoping to get help from Danqing Pavilion."
Cao Ziming nodded.
If he were Zhuo Fanghua, he would also make the same choice.
Even from the perspective of interests, with Zhuo Fanghua's talent comparable to that of the Green Lotus Sword Immortal, even if he cannot fully realize his talent in the end, he can definitely become a rising star in Danqing Pavilion.
There is no harm in making friends with such a talented disciple.
Why do you have to be a bad person? What a pity.
Not everyone can take a long-term view.
"She failed to seek help?" Cao Ziming asked.
The deputy prime minister was silent for a moment, then whispered, "That day, Zhuo Fanghua fell from the eighteenth floor of Danqing Fudi and died on the spot."
At this point, the deputy prime minister glanced at Cao Ziming and added, "There are no clothes on the body."
Cao Ziming fell into a long silence.
After all, Ji Changsheng was not from Danqing Pavilion, and he had more experience than Cao Ziming. He quickly asked the key point: "Who was in charge of the assessment at Danqing Pavilion at that time?"
"Du Zongjiang, the outer sect elder of Danqing Pavilion."
Ji Changsheng naturally wouldn't know such a small character.
But the deputy prime minister quickly added the key point: "Du Zongjiang has an elder brother."
"Then what?"
"His brother is Du Zongsheng."
Ji Changsheng still had never heard of it.
"Very impressive?"
Cao Ziming finally spoke: "He is my senior brother."
Ji Changsheng: “…”
"He is also the youngest disciple of the Pavilion Master. He has reached the peak of the Golden Core stage and can be promoted to the Nascent Soul stage at any time. However, he has been honing his realm and wants to become the most perfect Golden Core."
Ji Changsheng raised his eyebrows.
If you put it this way, he seems to have some impression.
Anyone who can leave an impression on Ji Changsheng is definitely not an ordinary person.
Because Ji Changsheng is too busy.
All day long, he is either committing murder and arson or on his way to commit murder and arson.
Those who have no contact with him but still leave an impression on him must be celebrities in this world.
That's why it was mentioned by people around him or he himself noticed it.
"Du Zongsheng of Danqing Pavilion? The one who is said to be the best in Jindan?"
It is not easy to become the recognized number one in a certain realm.
Those who practice cultivation are all arrogant and proud.
If you want to maintain your number one position, you have to earn your reputation through hard work.
For example, Fairy Linglong and Old Demon Yu.
Although Du Zongsheng was only known as the best in Golden Elixir, it was enough to prove his strength.
Ji Changsheng recalled that it seemed that he still heard what Li Changxi said about Du Zongsheng.
However, Li Changxi's evaluation of Du Zongsheng is that he is a fool.
Li Changxi believes that Du Zongsheng is wasting his time staying in the Jindan stage, and reminds Ji Changsheng not to learn from such a waste.
In Li Changxi's words, if I kill a Yuanying at the level of Huashen, it's killing, and if he kills a Yuanying at the level of Jindan, it's also killing. The dead are all Yuanying cultivators, so what's the difference in the result? Junior brother, don't learn this kind of stupidity. We in the Yaoguang lineage are all smart people. As long as we can kill someone, we can do whatever is convenient.
Ji Changsheng deeply agreed with Li Changxi's advice.
At the same time, he also recalled Du Zongsheng's battle record: "He seems to have killed a Yuanying?"
"Indeed, I have killed three of them."
Cao Ziming took a deep breath.
"It is precisely because Senior Brother Du killed three demonic Yuanying cultivators with his Jindan body that he became the Pavilion Master's disciple. Senior Brother Du is also the only genius in our Danqing Pavilion who has been ranked as a true disciple in the Jindan stage. In the Jindan realm, Senior Brother Du is invincible."
The deputy prime minister sighed: "So, the name Zhuo Fanghua has not been mentioned in Shengguo for two years. The conclusion of the Six Gates on Zhuo Fanghua's death was that he accidentally fell from a building and committed suicide!"
Ji Changsheng smiled, but his laughter was very cold.
It seems that this suicide is exactly the same as the dog emperor's suicide.
But who the hell is that Du guy? He is worthy of using the same method as me.
"Mr. Cao, do you understand now? Shengguo has come to this point today, and there are countless hands behind it. Among these big hands is Danqing Pavilion. If you insist on investigating, the resistance you will encounter will be far greater than you think. Danqing Pavilion's position may not necessarily stand on your side."
Cao Ziming is naturally also a genius of Danqing Pavilion.
But Du Zongsheng's title of the best golden elixir master belongs to another level.
To make an analogy, it is the difference between Ying Hongye and Ji Changsheng in Xuandu Temple.
It is obvious that Du Zongsheng has a higher status in Danqing Pavilion.
Cao Ziming himself is also aware of this.
"Junior Brother Ji, don't worry about Zhuo Fanghua and Danqing Fudi's affairs." Cao Ziming said, "I will handle it."
Ji Changsheng said calmly: "Brother Cao, I absolutely believe in your character, but I don't quite believe in your ability. I don't think you can handle it."
Patting Cao Ziming's shoulder again, Ji Changsheng said seriously: "Being the number one Jindan master is very stressful for you. He is also your senior brother. With your personality, you will probably confront him directly. If Du Zongsheng is really the mastermind or protector behind the scenes, you may still trade your life with him. But believe me, you can't exchange his life. Your trick won't work, and you can only sacrifice in vain. Senior Brother Cao, lie down, I will take you to fly."
Cao Ziming was a little anxious: "Junior Brother Ji, you don't know Du Zongsheng's status in our Danqing Pavilion."
"What position?"
"Senior Brother Du was chosen by many elders in the pavilion to be the next Pavilion Master."
Ji Changsheng nodded.
Guessed it.
"Then what?"
Cao Ziming: “…”
"The next Pavilion Master, that means he hasn't become the Pavilion Master yet. Even if he becomes the Pavilion Master, what does it matter?" Ji Changsheng sneered, "I dare to kill Fairy Linglong's husband, what's the point of being the Junior Pavilion Master of Danqing Pavilion? Wei Zhongxian, you should start investigating Zhuo Fanghua's case. Whoever you find, arrest or kill. I want to see if anyone dares to come to me to beg for mercy."
Wei Zhongxian was under tremendous pressure.
He also knows some inside information about this matter.
"Elder Ji, the person in charge of Danqing Blessed Land...also has the surname Du. And Du Zongjiang is now in Taiping Blessed Land."
Ji Changsheng raised his eyebrows: "This is much easier. Just arrest them all and ask them about Zhuo Fanghua's death."
"Elder Ji, please be patient. Zhuo Fanghua's case has been proven to be a solid case, and her parents have accepted compensation and admitted that Zhuo Fanghua fell from the building accidentally." The Queen also said, "Why don't we try another blessed place first?"
He started by criticizing Danqing Fudi, and all the "Zhongzheng" people were under a lot of pressure.
Ji Changsheng narrowed his eyes.
"Zhuo Fanghua's case has been proven to be a solid case? That elder reported in his real name that Danqing Fudi was harboring a demon from the Demon Cult. Is this reason acceptable?"
"Elder Ji, I think we should start from..."
"I'm not negotiating with you!"
Ji Changsheng suppressed all the opposing voices with just one sentence.
"If it can be done, then do it. If it can't be done, I'll get another group of people to do it."
Ji Changsheng looked around and said in a cold voice: "It's not easy to find a three-legged toad, but there are plenty of people who are willing to be my dog. Did I give you face? Why do you have so many opinions?"
The Baohe Hall was silent.
They once again recalled Ji Changsheng's true face a few minutes ago.
"Wei Zhongxian, can you do it?"
Wei Zhongxian gritted his teeth and said, "I will send someone to arrest Du right away."
"Brother Cao, you go with Wei Zhongxian. Anyone who dares to obstruct the law enforcement will be treated as a demon and killed without mercy!"
"good!"
Cao Ziming also took the risk.
"Junior Brother Ji, if there is any unusual movement from Senior Brother Du, I will protect you. I am not without a follower in Danqing Pavilion."
"I don't need you!"
In front of everyone, Ji Changsheng sent a voice message to Li Changxi: "Senior sister, I may need your help with something."
Li Changxi quickly replied: "I am doing good deeds, what's wrong?"
Ji Changsheng: "If I want to kill Du Zongsheng from Danqing Pavilion, do you have any solution, Senior Sister?"
Li Changxi replied almost immediately: "Is it that idiot who claims to be the best at Golden Core? Killing him is too easy. He may advance to Nascent Soul at any time. Junior brother, if you want to kill him, I will throw him directly to the border of Sheng Country and split the threshold of Nascent Soul for him with one sword. Mother's sword order prohibits those above Nascent Soul from entering Sheng Country. I will advance him to Nascent Soul with my first sword, and drive him into Sheng Country with my second sword. He will die immediately, and even Jiang Shiyi can't save him."
Ji Changsheng nodded with satisfaction: "Senior sister is indeed very smart. I will first move the people of the Du family. If Du Zongsheng makes any move, Senior sister, please help Du Zongsheng advance to the Nascent Soul stage for me."
"Zhong Zheng" was stunned.
I have come to realize the value of Xuandu Temple as the best in the world!
