Chapter 262: Setting up and entering the game, it is really a cause for celebration, Jiang Lan also fell into the trap
The expressions of all the elders of the Fox Clan in the hall changed slightly. If Jiang Lan had taken a fancy to Palace Master Xu Xin, then the matter would be easy to deal with. Even if she herself did not want to, they could still persuade her and think of a solution.
But the last drop of true Gou Chen blood is the final foundation of Gou Chen Palace. If it is handed over, there will be no Gou Chen Palace in this world.
Xu Xin's expression froze and the blush on her face quietly disappeared. She didn't expect that Jiang Lan actually set his eyes on the last drop of real blood in Gou Chen Palace.
You should know that even Chongming Valley has been coveting this thing, but due to the attitude of Gouchen Palace, it cannot get it.
The importance of this item to the Gou Chen Palace is self-evident.
"Could it be that Young Alliance Leader Jiang Lan wants the last drop of true blood of my Gou Chen Palace?" Xu Xin restrained her expression and asked solemnly.
"What does Palace Master Xu think I want?" Jiang Lan smiled.
Thinking of what she almost said just now, Xu Xin's face couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, but she quickly recovered and said, "The True Blood of Gou Chen is the last heritage of our Gou Chen Palace. It has been sealed in the deepest part of the treasure house. Even we can't take it out. The ancestral precepts say that when the last drop of True Blood of Gou Chen comes out, it will be the day when our Gou Chen Palace will be destroyed. We have always abided by the ancestral precepts and never dared to touch that drop of True Blood..."
"Blind loyalty is not necessarily a good thing. The world is changing drastically, and the future has infinite possibilities. If Gou Chen Palace continues to stick to the old rules and is complacent, it will perish sooner or later."
"The reason why Chongming Valley can easily control the life and death of Gouchen Palace is because they are much bolder than you. If you had fought them to the death, why would you have ended up being manipulated by them?"
"I won't force you. The True Blood of Gou Chen is indeed very useful to me. If Gou Chen Palace is willing to give me the last drop of True Blood of Gou Chen, then I will take a risk for you."
Jiang Lan waved his hand, interrupting Xu Xin's words.
After all, given his current status and position, it is not easy for him to do something like robbery directly.
However, his words also made it clear that the drop of Gou Chen's true blood would be of great use to him. If the people in Gou Chen Palace were not stupid, they would understand that. If they refused directly, Jiang Lan would find another way later.
Xu Xin suddenly looked embarrassed.
"Can the Young Alliance Leader give us some time to think about this matter?"
The chief elder of the fox clan bowed and said, with helplessness in his eyes.
They also understood that Jiang Lan would not help them for no reason, not to mention that it was such a risky thing that could put their lives in danger.
If he was a little more ruthless, he would not care about the life or death of Gou Chen Palace and mobilize many masters of the Xian Dao League to jointly besiege Chongming Valley.
At that time, they will have no choice but to accept their fate.
"I can give you some time, but I don't know whether Chongming Valley will give you some time."
"It is impossible that Chongming Valley was unaware of what happened tonight. I have tried my best to give face to you, Gouchen Palace." Jiang Lan's eyes were calm and unperturbed.
"We understand. Please rest assured, Young Alliance Leader."
The chief elder of the fox clan bowed again, and glanced at all the clan members present, motioning them to come to a side hall to discuss.
Jiang Lan did not deliberately intercept their discussion. As long as the Nine-tailed Sky Fox clan was not stupid, they would understand that this was their only solution now.
Not much time passed, and soon the elders of the Fox Clan discussed and came to an agreement. Many of them had obvious reluctance on their faces, but Palace Master Xu Xin looked like she was breathing a sigh of relief.
"Young Alliance Leader, when the True Blood of Gou Chen is born, there may be a big anomaly, and it may be noticed by Chongming Valley..."
Xu Xin spoke, and their outcome was already very clear. They had made a decision that went against their ancestors and were willing to hand over the last drop of Gou Chen's true blood.
"It doesn't matter. We just want to let Chongming Valley know that you used the power of Gouchen Palace tonight."
Jiang Lan had expected this.
Of course you have to do the whole play.
The people of Chongming Valley are not stupid. If there is no movement from the Gouchen Palace, there is no guarantee that they will not fall into the trap later.
"Young Alliance Leader, please come this way."
Then, the great elder of the fox clan led the way and took Jiang Lan all the way to the depths of the treasure house of Gou Chen Palace.
The other elders followed Jiang Lan's instructions to cooperate in destroying the Mengtian Bird, the Golden Armored Kuiniu and other tribes, eliminate the most critical spies in Chongming Valley, and then start to set up the plan.
Many of the Eighth Realm powerful men of the Xiandao League also learned of Jiang Lan's plan. They were stunned at first, then they all realized what was going on. Then they shouted angrily and took the lead in fighting with the masters of the Miemeng Tianniao tribe and other tribes.
After Jiang Lan lifted the blockade of the Gou Chen Palace, the noise of the terrible battle spread thousands of miles away in an instant, just like brilliant fireworks exploding in the middle of the night, illuminating the distant starry sky. It alarmed countless tribes and forces in the Gou Chen star field.
Some of the fighting figures even went into remote mountains. Amidst the roars, countless mountains exploded, it was extremely fierce.
Just when many creatures and cultivators were shocked and surprised, and felt puzzled, from the depths of the Gou Chen Palace, a demonic aura suddenly rose into the sky and penetrated the sky, as if a peerless demon that had been sealed for ten thousand years had been born and was causing chaos between heaven and earth.
Lines of demonic aura, as thick as mountains, sank into the starry sky. In that place, the demonic shadow covered the starry sky, blurry and hazy, as if it was going to dominate the world and rule over all the demons.
At this moment, all the monster creatures were trembling, feeling a terrifying pressure coming from deep in their blood. They couldn't help but kowtow and kneel down towards that place, as if they were facing the ancestor of all monsters.
“This aura…”
"Could it be that the Gou Chen Palace exerted its strongest power to cause the Gou Chen phantom to reappear? What on earth happened to cause such a big commotion?"
"This is incredible. Report to Chongming Valley immediately."
Shocked eyes were looking towards the place where the Gou Chen Palace was located, and soon messages were spread out, causing great waves and sensation throughout the Gou Chen star field.
No one knows what exactly happened in the Gou Chen Palace.
At that moment just now, it was as if the ancestor of all demons had reappeared. That kind of terror and dominance that dominated the world intimidated everything, and no one dared to disobey.
"Gou Chen Palace actually took action. I just wanted them to test the attitude of the Immortal Dao Alliance and Jiang Lan's intentions..."
"Haha, Gou Chen Palace has no choice at all. If they dare to disobey our orders, they will only die. If we take action now, they still have a chance to survive."
"It's just a pity that I sensed that several powerful slave seals have been broken. After this battle, Gou Chen Palace suffered heavy losses and will completely become a thing of the past."
"But it doesn't matter. Anyway, Gou Chen Gong has always been our cannon fodder and pawn. It's not a pity to die..."
In Chongming Valley, there is a magnificent palace on a towering mountain covered with purple mist. An elder-level figure who holds great power received the news from his spy and sneered on his face.
"From the looks of it, I'm afraid that Gouchen Palace has used up all its resources..."
"A person's reputation is like a tree's shadow. Jiang Lan is a rare opponent below the level of a saint. If Gou Chen Palace wants to deal with him, how can it do so without paying a price?"
"That's true, but I'm worried that Li Sheng might have some backup plan, which would cause unnecessary trouble."
Several other elder-level figures were also talking aloud, paying close attention to what was happening in the Gou Chen Palace at the moment.
In their eyes, the Gou Chen Palace was just an insignificant chess piece, and this time it was most appropriate to use it to test the Xian Dao Alliance.
"I originally wanted to wait until I became a saint, and then go and get that drop of real blood from Gou Chen Palace myself..."
Suddenly, a stream of light fell into the center of the hall and transformed into an octogenarian dressed in five-colored clothes. He looked at the Gou Chen Palace from afar, his double pupils flickering with some regret.
"Ming Zu..."
"I was just about to report this to you."
Many elders in the hall, including the Valley Master, bowed to the old man.
"No need. I already know what happened in Gou Chen Palace. Gou Chen's true blood was born, and it even attracted a wisp of divine form that Gou Chen once left to guard Gou Chen Palace. It seems that I still underestimated that kid Jiang Lan. He actually forced Gou Chen Palace to use such means."
There was a gleam of light rolling in Mingzu's eyes, and the scene played out, which suddenly penetrated the void in front of him, reflecting the territory of Gouchen Palace and projecting it here.
He carries a trace of Chongming blood, and his pupil technique is extremely powerful, quite comparable to the power of the clairvoyance in ancient mythology that could monitor human affairs from a distance.
"Looking at this scene, after this battle, Gou Chen Palace will also be seriously injured..."
Many elders of Chongming Valley looked at the light rising into the sky, the demonic energy rolling, and the scene covering the sky and the sun in the void, and they all had sneers on their faces.
In the evil aura that covered the night sky, they vaguely saw two figures fighting each other.
Although one of them was blurry, his every move was filled with an extremely domineering and terrifying will like that of the demon emperor. The void rumbled as if it was collapsing and shattering.
"However, it is not without gain. If Gou Chen Palace can capture Jiang Lan, it will be worth it even if it sacrifices all its resources."
"Xuan Yi's body might have died at Jiang Lan's hands. This guy is very courageous. He knew it was a dangerous place, but he still dared to go there. Unfortunately, he underestimated the strength of the overlords of the four star fields."
"When Gou Chen was at his peak, he could easily kill a saint with just a breath of air. If there were no heaven and earth to suppress him and weaken the rules, his power would be minimal. Now, how can the Four Star Regions allow you, the Immortal Dao Alliance, to act so arrogantly..."
Mingzu stared at that place, but it was too far away and he couldn't see it clearly. However, he could feel the aura emanating from there, which seemed no weaker than his.
This also made him understand why Jiang Lan had such great courage and bravery.
"Haha, next, I'll just wait for good news from Gouchen Palace."
Mingzu sneered, and his figure turned into a stream of light and disappeared in the hall. He flew towards the deepest valley entrance of Chongming Valley and informed Su Xuanyi himself of the news.
He knew that Su Xuanyi had always wanted to swallow Jiang Lan, and even used Xu Yao as a chess piece for this purpose, but unfortunately the plan failed.
But now, another once-in-a-lifetime opportunity appeared before him.
Su Xuanyi must be eager to hear this good news.
This "riot" in the Gouchen Palace lasted for an entire night, and the noise only died down when dawn was about to break.
During this process, the protective formation of the Gou Chen Palace was always turned on, with blazing light covering all directions, making the many ethnic groups and forces in the Gou Chen star field unaware of the situation inside the Gou Chen Palace.
Chongming Valley had also been paying attention to the situation in Gouchen Palace. Only after learning that everything was settled and seeing the images sent back from Gouchen Palace, did the many elders of Chongming Valley smile knowingly and their tense emotions relaxed.
"It seems that the battle last night was very tragic. Everywhere is in ruins..."
"In this battle at Gou Chen Palace, six great masters of the eighth realm perished, but they lived up to our expectations and captured all the people of the Immortal Dao League."
"Jiang Lan, the young leader of the Immortal Dao Alliance, fought fiercely with the Gou Chen Phantom for a whole night. Both sides were injured, and finally he was suppressed by the Gou Chen Palace's Gou Chen Four-Sided Cauldron."
"Haha, this is really cause for celebration..."
"Haha, this Jiang Lan traveled across the land of Kyushu, looked down upon his peers, and claimed to be invincible, but now he has finally fallen."
The moods of many elders in Chongming Valley became relaxed, and some even laughed loudly, having already anticipated the situation that would follow.
"From the news sent back from Gou Chen Palace, it seems that they want to make a deal with us..."
"The Nine-Tailed Sky Fox clan wants us to release their members and send the suppressed Jiang Lan here."
"Haha, after this battle, the Gouchen Palace has exhausted all its resources. I don't know where they got the confidence to negotiate with us."
"As a slave, you dare to negotiate with your master. You are simply ignorant of your own business."
Soon, someone showed a strange look, looking at the jade talisman in his hand, with a hint of mockery on his lips.
"But don't rush to refuse. It would be bad if Gou Chen Palace becomes desperate and releases Jiang Lan, who was suppressed with great difficulty."
Another elder narrowed his eyes and waved his hand.
"Gou Chen Palace has made great contributions this time, and it is indeed worthy of reward. In this case, let's first send the father of Xu Xin, the Palace Master of Gou Chen Palace, back, and then let Gou Chen Palace personally bring Jiang Lan here."
The master of Chongming Valley is a middle-aged man in a purple robe. He is Su Xuanyi's biological father, and the two look 60% similar. He is also a ruthless person. He doesn't talk much, but he is very prestigious.
As he gave the order, many elders of Chongming Valley nodded in agreement and made the decision.
Deep in Chongming Valley, the glow of the clouds surged. In the misty valley entrance, the five-colored divine egg trembled slightly, and the scene inside became increasingly blurred. The young man sitting cross-legged inside sighed and said, "I thought you would be my greatest enemy since I was born..."
"However, if you can destroy my other body, your life will not be in vain. Wait until I devour your fortune and take away everything from you."
"In the future, when I ascend to the summit of all worlds, you will be honored to be a part of it."
The news of the riot in the Gou Chen Palace was not concealed and it quickly spread throughout the Gou Chen star field, and then spread to the rest of the Sifang star field, causing a great sensation.
The Sifang star region, which had already been plunged into turmoil due to the war between Yingzhao Dojo and Luwu Mountain, was even more panicked, and people in various places began to panic.
Many people were worried, believing that this would be a sign of complete chaos in the four star regions.
The reason for the riot in Gou Chen Palace is unknown, but it is definitely related to the Xian Dao League.
Now, news has spread from all over the place that a great war broke out between the Gou Chen Palace and the Xian Dao League, and that a plan was set up to suppress all the people from the Xian Dao League.
If this is true, the Xiandao Alliance will definitely not give up and will definitely send more powerful people. At that time, maybe even Li Sheng, a saint, will intervene.
If a saint gets angry, hundreds of millions of people will die and blood will flow like a river. This is something that the current four star fields cannot bear.
"How could such a big thing happen in just one night..."
Chu Chan, who was on her way to Han Jing's hometown, Xingchen, also learned the news. She disguised herself and walked in a hurry. From time to time, she would stop in crowded places for a moment to listen to the conversations of passers-by around her.
She frowned, very confused. Based on her understanding of Jiang Lan, he didn't seem like someone who would suffer a loss.
But judging from all the news, what happened last night was too real.
The phantom of Gou Chen from Gou Chen Palace reappeared in the world. Jiang Lan fought with it for a whole night, and both were defeated in the end. Gou Chen Palace sacrificed another treasure and narrowly suppressed it.
In ancient legends, Gou Chen was the Demon King who ruled over all the demons in the world. His strength was terrifying and the ancient great sages were merely his food. Later, with the help of the Emperor of Heaven, he became a god guarding the Gate of Heaven under the Emperor of Heaven.
Of course, it is impossible to tell whether the legend is true or not, but the power of Gou Chen is absolutely unquestionable. Even if there is only a lingering shadow, it is enough to make Gou Chen Palace the holy land of all monsters today.
The Demon Saint of the Burial Heaven Cave who died at the hands of Li Sheng some time ago, once practiced in the Gou Chen Palace and had a deep connection with it.
"Never mind. Even if it's true, my current strength won't be of much help."
Chu Chan was very clear-headed and did not do anything that would waste her energy. Jiang Lan had Taiyi Sect and Xiandao League behind him, so even if he encountered danger, it was not something she could worry about.
She continued to rush towards Hanjing's hometown.
"I never expected that Gou Chen Palace would take action against Xian Dao League."
"I really can't understand where Gou Chen Gong got the courage to make such a decision..."
On an ancient life star under the jurisdiction of the Yingzhao star field, Qi Qingxuan and others who were looking for the "destined general" also learned the news of what happened in the Gouchen Palace.
Although Qi Qingxuan had cooperated with Su Xuanyi before and the two were in contact, he did not know the current relationship between Gouchen Palace and Chongming Valley, so he was deeply shocked and surprised at this moment.
"I wonder what you think about this, sir?"
Qi Qingxuan humbly asked Shang Yuanji who was beside him for advice.
"There is currently no conflict of interest between the Gouchen Palace and the Xiandao League. It is impossible for them to break off relations with the Xiandao League. The only possibility is that they are forced to do so. They have no choice..."
Shang Yuanji looked deep and guessed.
Qi Qingxuan was shocked and guessed something. He frowned and said, "Luwu Mountain and Yingzhao Dojo are fighting and have no time to be distracted. So, could it be related to Chongming Valley?"
He thought of Su Xuanyi. This man was really scary. While he was very low-key, even Gou Chen Palace obeyed his orders.
"I didn't expect that Jiang Lan, whom I had always regarded as a great enemy, would also be caught..."
"I have to be more careful when I come into contact with Su Xuanyi in the future."
Qi Qingxuan sighed lightly, then frowned, and his fear of Su Xuanyi grew stronger.
"When you are young and successful, you must guard against impatience and arrogance. Jiang Lan's luck is too strong, like the sun hanging in the sky, but it doesn't mean everything will go smoothly..."
Shang Yuanji looked calm and shook his head slightly. As he spoke, an ancient book filled with the light of wisdom appeared in his palm. This was the Yuanji Vairocana Book of Wisdom, which was his greatest reliance at present.
As Shang Yuanji took out the book, Qi Qingxuan's attention was also attracted.
All I saw were the shadows of eighteen kinds of weapons in the world circulating, transforming into a surging force of martial arts, capable of killing and annihilating with such fierceness that it made one's back shiver slightly.
"The source of martial luck comes from Yingzhao Dojo. It seems that Your Highness needs to go there in person." Shang Yuanji looked at the scene and said.
Because of the riot in the Gou Chen Palace, the surrounding star fields were plunged into an undercurrent in the following few days. On the ancient stars with life, all the ethnic groups and forces were uneasy and panicked, fearing that a war would suddenly break out between the Xiandao League and the Gou Chen star field.
Even ethnic groups that have lived and multiplied here for thousands of years have begun to look for ways to migrate.
After constant "bargaining" with Chongming Valley, Gouchen Palace finally got Chongming Valley to return several hostages ahead of schedule as promised.
Afterwards, several powerful demons from the eighth realm secretly escorted the secret space treasure that suppressed Jiang Lan, and carefully escorted it all the way to Chongming Valley.
