Chapter 274: Plotting against the human race saint, the decisive battle suddenly breaks out, and people from the ancient world of Amitabha
come Just when Jiang Lan was temporarily staying in Gouchen Palace and not asking about the outside world.
In the Yingzhao star field, on an extremely primitive and ancient star full of the breath of life, there stands a magnificent and majestic Taoist temple, sacred and brilliant, with layer upon layer of palaces and pavilions winding around, like a lying dragon, reaching into the sky.
This is where the Yingzhao Dojo is located.
As the Yingzhao Dojo and Luwu Mountain clashed, many elders and disciples participated in the battle. The hall, which used to be bustling with people, now seemed much quieter. From time to time, streams of light wrapped in jade slips would fall down, conveying news from the border front line.
"Since Luwushan refuses to hand over Luwu's soul, we must fight to the death. Those old stubborn people have no idea that the ancient ancestor has revived. If they still insist on resisting, they will only die."
"Now that we have been unable to take the city after a long time, we might as well mobilize our resources and head straight to Luwu Mountain to prevent the Immortal Dao Alliance from intervening and ruining the good deeds of our Yingzhao Dojo."
Several ancestors and elders of the Yingzhao Taoist temple stood quietly in the main hall, looking at the contents of the jade talismans and communicating with each other, with deep chill in their eyes.
There were still outsiders in the hall at this time, but they did not hide their murderous intent towards Luwushan at all.
Zhou Yuan sat in the middle of the hall. He was wearing a black cloak, had dark long hair, and deep eyes.
There was a scar on his face that seemed to go through half of his face, which looked a bit hideous, but it could not hide his heroic temperament. His body was lean and gave people a sense of explosive power.
"A bunch of rubbish. I asked you to bring back Luwu's spirit, but you've been stuck for so long and you can't do anything about Luwu Mountain."
He said this indifferently, as if there was no emotion in his eyes, looking superior.
"Please forgive me, Gu Zu."
Upon hearing this, all the ancestors and elders in the hall changed their expressions, were terrified, and quickly knelt on the ground.
"If we delay, something bad will happen. Luwu Mountain is hiding in the mountain gate and is unwilling to hand over Luwu's soul. Now I'm afraid he is seeking help from the Immortal Dao Alliance. As far as I know, Luwu Mountain has already sent several elders to Gouchen Palace..."
"The young leader of the Immortal Dao League is now in the Gou Chen Palace. We can tell what Lu Wushan is thinking at a glance."
At this time, a tall man wearing a silk robe but with an ordinary face spoke in the hall.
There were many people around him, including Qi Qingxuan, Shang Mingyu and others. The middle-aged man who was speaking at this time was none other than Shang Yuanji, the former national teacher of the Shang Dynasty.
Several people have been in Yingzhao Dojo for some time. As a person who is close to being a saint, even Yingzhao Dojo has given him enough face.
Although he had deduced from the Yuanji Vairocana Book of Wisdom that a man of great military fortune had appeared in the Yingzhao star field, he did not expect that this person would be the reincarnation of Yingzhao.
After arriving at the Yingzhao Dojo and making some inquiries, Shang Yuanji, Qi Qingxuan and others finally confirmed Zhou Yuan's identity.
Given Zhou Yuan's current situation, it is naturally not easy to recruit him to work for Qi Qingxuan.
Therefore, Shang Yuanji and others came to Yingzhao Dojo under the pretext of traveling and stayed here temporarily. Shang Yuanji, who mastered the Yuanji Vairocana Wisdom Book, also gave advice to Yingzhao Dojo, helping it to maintain the upper hand in the confrontation with Kaiming Star Domain.
"Senior Shang, do you mean that we should have a decisive battle with Luwushan now?"
An old ancestor from the Yingzhao Dojo who had survived seven heavenly tribulations asked. Although he was much older than Shang Yuan, he was very respectful and admiring of him in his words.
"Everything will change if it is delayed. The four star regions have not been peaceful in recent times. If I am not mistaken, Jiang Lan, the young leader of the Immortal Dao Alliance, is probably also thinking about the Luwu spirit in Luwu Mountain."
"He is now waiting for an opportunity to let Luwushan and Yingzhao Dojo fight to the death. When Luwushan is about to collapse, he will lend a helping hand, and then he can legitimately take that wisp of Luwu's soul for himself." Shang Yuanji's eyes were deep and full of wisdom, and he spoke slowly.
"Jiang Lan..."
Zhou Yuan frowned and glanced over, but even Shang Yuanji didn't look at him.
If you look closely, you will find that there are tiger stripes on his forehead, emitting a faint golden light, and even his pupils are light gold, making people dare not look directly at him, as if facing an ancient god.
This is the natural sense of oppression contained in the blood of Ying Zhao's remains. Ordinary people would be frightened to the point of their hearts bursting if they looked at him for a long time.
"Jiang Lan destroyed Chongming Valley all by himself. His strength is as terrifying as that of a saint. If we have a decisive battle with Luwushan at this time, wouldn't it be a perfect opportunity for him to reap the benefits?" Some elders were still worried about this.
"The longer the time drags on, the more beneficial it will be for Jiang Lan, unless Yingzhao Dojo really intends to hand over Lu Wu's soul." Shang Yuanji said.
"Lu Wu's soul is my only way to recover. Once I refine it, I will be able to temporarily recover my saintly strength. Combined with the many foundations of my Yingzhao Dojo, I will not be afraid even if a true saint attacks me."
Zhou Yuan said indifferently, "So I must get Lu Wu's soul."
Shang Yuanji smiled and said, "Since they want to fight for Lu Wu's soul, they will definitely fight against Jiang Lan. Given his personality, I guess he will not let go of Yingzhao Dojo."
“And the Saint Li Ran of Taiyi Sect has already achieved the status of Saint King. His might is so vast that he can overwhelm the whole world. Even if Yingzhao Dojo can gain an advantage over Jiang Lan at that time, if it alarms Saint King Li Ran, then the situation will be troublesome…”
Zhou Yuan's eyes moved slightly when he heard this, and he looked at him and said, "Since you said this, you must have a way. If you want to help this guy fight for the destiny of Jiuzhou, you will definitely offend Li Ran. You know it's impossible but still do it. You don't look like a fool."
He spoke indifferently and casually, and even Qi Qingxuan, who was a direct descendant of the Great Xia royal family and had the potential to become the future emperor, was not taken seriously by him.
After all, Zhou Yuan's body was reshaped through the remains of Ying Zhao, and Ying Zhao's blood flows in his body. As an ancient god who had followed the Emperor of Heaven, the so-called future Son of Heaven was not really taken seriously by him.
Shang Yuanji felt strange in his heart. He originally thought that Zhou Yuan, the reincarnation of Ying Zhao, would follow the so-called "future Heavenly Emperor" of this life, that is, Jiang Lan.
But who would have thought that after arriving at the Yingzhao Dojo, they discovered that Zhou Yuan did not show any disrespect even when mentioning the Emperor of Heaven, let alone any intention of following and submitting to Jiang Lan.
Even after learning that Jiang Lan might compete with him for Lu Wu's soul, he developed a strong murderous intent.
All these things made him speculate that Zhou Yuan might not be the real reincarnation of Ying Zhao, but just had Ying Zhao's blood flowing in his body...
"To be honest with you, I do have a way to kill someone with a borrowed knife, to fight against Saint King Li Ran, and to hold Jiang Lan hostage." Shang Yuanji said confidently.
Zhou Yuan's eyes suddenly glowed with golden light, as dazzling as a golden lamp. He stared at him closely and asked, "What's the solution?"
With his current strength, it is not difficult for him to break through Luwu Mountain, but he has always been wary of Jiang Lan in Gou Chen Palace.
After all, in the battle of Chongming Valley, Jiang Lan made a great name for himself, and with his eighth level of cultivation, he fought against the Tusheng.
If he really broke through Luwu Mountain, Jiang Lan would definitely not stand idly by. If the two of them fought, even if he possessed all the innate advantages of Yingzhao's legacy and could exert terrifying power, he would definitely not be his opponent.
Facing the saint, he really has no way to deal with it now.
"After Li Ran of Taiyi Sect becomes the Saint King, he will certainly follow the example of the ancient emperor and offer sacrifices to the gods to increase the fortune of the Great Xia Dynasty. In ancient times, a great demon god was born and brought disaster to the Nine Provinces. Later, the emperor of that era offered sacrifices to the gods to obtain a demon-suppressing stele."
"In the end, the great demon was sealed in a demon-suppressing well by the Demon-Suppressing Stele." Shang Yuan said slowly.
Many elders of the Yingzhao Dojo in the main hall knew about this, and expressions of surprise and confusion appeared on their faces.
Zhou Yuan's eyes flashed, and he guessed something. He said calmly, "The forbidden place like the Demon Suppression Well drifts with time and space. Only saints can determine its whereabouts. Even if you guessed that Li Ran would open the Demon Suppression Well, suppress the great demon god, and sacrifice him to the heaven, what can you do?"
"Unfortunately, I just happen to know where the demon-suppressing well is. I can catch the turtle in the jar. No, it should be the saint in the well."
Shang Yuanji smiled slightly, and there was a flickering light in his palm, as if an ancient book containing a lot of wisdom and shrouded in misty light emerged from it.
When Zhou Yuan looked at it, he immediately discovered the mysteries of the world and various wisdoms contained in it, as if there were no secrets in the world that were not recorded in it.
"A book of wisdom from the ancient Buddhist sect?" He had integrated Ying Zhao's memories and gained a lot of knowledge, so he recognized this thing.
"You've been waiting for this day in Yingzhao Dojo for so many days, right?"
Zhou Yuan is not stupid, and he doesn't want to be used as a gun.
However, he also knew that if he wanted to go against the crowd, fight against the Xiandao League, and gain benefits from it, he had to cooperate with others and stick together.
The power of Yingzhao Dojo alone is not enough to compete with Xiandao League.
“If Brother Zhou helps me, we can go to the Demon-Suppressing Well and find the Great Demon God before Li Ran. What’s waiting for Li Ran then will not be the Great Demon God who has been lingering on for many years and is now exhausted, but the Great Demon God in his prime…”
Shang Yuanji smiled and did not comment, but his words made many elders in the hall change color of expression and tremble with fear.
This is to cooperate with the demons to plot against the saints of the human race.
Even Shang Mingyu, who had always respected Shang Yuanji, couldn't help but frown slightly.
However, since they went to the Sifang Star Region to find Shang Yuanji, many remnants of the Shang Dynasty and veterans of several dynasties have regarded her as their leader. Even if it is her orders, they have to consult Shang Yuanji and get his permission before they will obey them.
Her voice is no longer as strong as before.
Outside the Yingzhao Hall is a white jade staircase that seems to be made of fairy stone. It is crystal clear and has a total of 3,600 steps, extending all the way to the depths of the Taoist temple. White mist is rising, and it is extremely ethereal.
On both sides, there stand solemn and magnificent pillars, carved with Yingzhao patterns, which look like horse bodies and human faces, tiger stripes and bird wings. They are lifelike, as if they would come alive at any time, bringing people unparalleled majesty.
At this moment, Qi Qingxuan and others had already left the hall and walked down the stairs.
"The Imperial Master's plan is truly brilliant..."
"Zhou Yuan said he would consider it, but from the look on his face, he seems to be very interested and will not refuse."
Qi Qingxuan had been silent when he was in the hall just now, but now his face was full of admiration and respect for Shang Yuanji.
The former eunuch chief Wei Gong behind him looked hesitant, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated, wanting to dissuade him, but in the end he sighed.
He felt that Qi Qingxuan now completely followed Shang Yuanji's lead. Not only did he actively cooperate with the demon god behind him, he even proposed how to divide part of the future territory and give it to the demons in order to maximize their benefits.
The countermeasures proposed by Shang Yuanji in the hall this time were also decided unanimously after communication and discussion with the demon god behind him.
No matter how smart Shang Yuanji is, he can't possibly have the means of a saint to determine the time and space coordinates of the Demon-Suppressing Well. All of this is done with the help of the demon god behind the scenes.
"He will agree. Otherwise, he won't have any chance to take Lu Wu's soul away from Jiang Lan."
Shang Yuanji held a feather fan in his hand, his posture was calm and easy-going, his expression was composed, as if nothing in the world could escape his eyes and was under his control.
Qi Qingxuan nodded excitedly and said, "Next, let Yingzhao Dojo launch a general attack on Luwu Mountain according to the plan to confuse the public and fool Jiang Lan."
Shang Yuanji nodded slightly.
Things turned out just as they expected. The next day, everyone in Yingzhao Dojo agreed to their proposal. Orders were issued one after another swiftly. Amid the surging light and mist, ancient warships rose into the sky from the ancient stars of life, breaking through the void and speeding through the star fields.
All the Taoist clans within the jurisdiction of the Yingzhao Taoist Temple have received the order, assembled their armies, and marched towards the Kaiming Star Territory in a mighty manner.
Rumble! In the sky, a large number of ancient warships and flying boats were gathering, exotic beasts were galloping, birds of prey were flying, covering the sky and blocking the sun, and divine light was rushing into the sky, which seemed extremely magnificent.
In addition, there were many knights and soldiers who went there, densely packed like a torrent. These were all the warriors and fighters that Yingzhao Dojo had trained over the years.
“Wuwuwu…”
In the vast sky, the clarion call of war was sounded. On the ancient copper-made warships, flags fluttered and shouts of killing shook the sky. The decisive battle between the Yingzhao Star Domain and the Kaiming Star Domain had begun.
For a moment, emotions of panic and despair spread throughout the Kaixing Star Domain.
The few ancient life stars closest to the Kaiming Star Region were the first to be looted and cleansed. Ancient warships rumbled past, and the army rushed down like a torrent.
The huge ancient star of life was instantly turned into a river of blood, the flames of war reached the sky, and after the war, only ruins were left.
The various ethnic groups and sects within the Kaiming Star Domain had never expected that the decisive battle would break out so quickly. The army of the Yingzhao Star Domain was even more aggressive in its attack, destroying everything in its path and leaving only corpses and debris.
Upon hearing the news, Lu Wushan was shocked and angry. He immediately blew the horn and mobilized the army to resist.
In the vast star field, there were whistling sounds everywhere. Ancient warships and flying boats sped past, rising into the sky from the ancient stars of life, full of murderous aura.
The decisive battle between the Yingzhao Star Domain and the Kaiming Star Domain broke out very suddenly. In just a few days, it completely affected many territories on the front lines of both star domains.
The rest of the territories in the Four Directions Star Region were also extremely shocked.
It was too late for the other tribes and forces on the ancient life stars in the Yingzhao star field to migrate, so they had to join the war, and everywhere was in chaos.
…
The ancient star Mantuo in the Kaiming Star Domain is far away from the Kaiming Star Domain, and the war has not yet spread here, but the news from the front line in the past few days has caused panic among the various ethnic groups on the ancient star Mantuo.
Those ethnic groups that have the means have already relocated their people in batches, leaving their homes and heading to other star regions.
Even if he could find a desolate ancient star to settle down temporarily, it would be better than dying in the war.
At this time, Gusu City.
"How's the investigation going?"
"There's no doubt about it. The attendant of the Saint of the Shi Clan finally fled to Gusu City and became the son-in-law of the head of the Murong Family in Gusu City..."
"The attendant of the Saint of the Shi Clan was hit by the ancient curse of Sheli when he was trying to escape from the pursuers. The origin of the Shi Clan's bloodline was stripped away. There is no ancient treasure in this world that can restore it, so he died of illness less than three years after marrying into the Murong family."
"The third son of the Murong family, Luo Guyun, is the orphan of the Saint of the Shi clan..."
In an inn, several figures dressed strangely and wearing hoods gathered in a room, whispering to each other based on the information they had collected.
The war and panic in the outside world seemed to have no effect on them at all.
They don't look much different from humans, but if you look closely, you'll find faint golden cross cracks in the pupils of their eyes, and there seems to be a slight fluctuation of time and space flowing.
"What should we do? Should we just capture Luo Guyun directly?" someone asked in a low voice.
"In order to avoid being tracked down by our clan, his Shi clan bloodline should be sealed. I am worried that if I attack him, the seal of his bloodline will be broken prematurely, attracting the attention of the powerful in this world."
"After all, we have sneaked here, so we cannot make it public. The blood of the Time Clan contains the power of time and space. Once it erupts, it will cause chaos in time and space. At that time, we will definitely not be able to escape the eyes of the saints in this world..."
"I have already inquired about it. Luo Guyun is not in the Murong family. He followed the head of the Murong family, Murong Qiutang, to the Gou Chen Palace in the Gou Chen Star Region."
"If you want to catch him, the best way is to lay a net and conceal his aura and secrets before taking action."
"But now that Kaiming Star Territory is in turmoil, he should come back early..."
The burly old man who was the leader of the group spoke with a calm look.
They came from the ancient world of Tuomi in the universe, and were ordered to capture the orphans of the Shi clan.
As one of the ten ancient clans in the Tuomi ancient world, the Shi clan has a profound foundation and a long heritage. However, due to a secret disaster, it incurred the wrath of a world master.
The huge tribe fell apart overnight, and the fleeing members of the Shi tribe were also wanted by the realm master and were bound to be killed.
If it weren't for the fact that the Realm Master had accidentally sensed and deduced that the orphan of the Holy Maiden of the Time Clan was still alive in the world, the various clans in the Ancient Realm of Amitabha would not have known about this.
Of course, they didn't know what secrets the Shi Clan's disaster involved. They only knew that the Shi Clan's old celestial being was killed by the Realm Master in the land outside the sky. The blood stained billions of miles, and the strange phenomenon reflected in all realms, frightening many worlds...
There are also reports that the Holy Maiden of the Time Clan originally had a secret engagement with the offspring of that Realm Lord, but ended up getting pregnant before marriage and gave birth to a son. This incident caused quite a stir in the Ancient Amitabha Realm, and there are still multiple versions circulating today.
Others said that the sacred object, the Heart of Time and Space, left behind by the ancestor of the Time Clan, had appeared in the world and was coveted by the Realm Master, who seized it by force, deliberately fabricated rumors, and tried to destroy the Time Clan.
In short, there are all kinds of news and rumors.
