Chapter 258: The situation in Gouchen Palace, Jiang Lan came to the door himself, the situation is treacherous
After practicing in Taiyi Sect for a few more days, Jiang Lan, through the Fruit of the Dao of the Heart, quietly comprehended the various powers of thoughts that surged between heaven and earth, and used them as fuel, transforming them into the fire of the Dao to temper himself and hone his state of mind, gaining a lot.
In the outside world, the four star fields have been in complete chaos.
The masters sent by the Xiandao League were simply unable to mediate the battle between Luwu Mountain and Yingzhao Dojo, so that later on, even the Gouchen Star Region was affected, and the battle became extremely fierce.
Many immortal gates far away in the land of Jiuzhou could also see the fireworks deep outside the domain, which were fleeting like meteors. Ancient warships collapsed and disintegrated, turning into fragments and flying everywhere. The scene was extremely shocking.
As the young leader of the Xiandao Alliance, Jiang Lan naturally stood up at this time.
He decided to go to the four star fields in person to stop all this, so as to prevent the war from spreading to innocent star fields and destroying lives.
After Jiang Lan decided to personally mediate the war, many member forces of the Xiandao League also responded and mobilized many experts to join them.
A huge number of ancient warships gathered outside the Taiyi Mountain Gate. The air was filled with the aura of space, and a deep and broad space-time channel was being opened up.
The Four Directions Star Region is too far away from the land of Kyushu. Even for a cultivator at the eighth level, it would be difficult to reach there without several years of effort just relying on the physical body to cross the region.
Jiang Lan stood on the ancient warship with his hands behind his back and his robe fluttering. Several Taiyi Sect disciples who were traveling with him were counting the people who were going to mediate.
Many forces are well aware that the chaos in the four star fields is a good time to fish in troubled waters and take advantage of the fire. With Jiang Lan holding high the banner of mediation, they can naturally follow behind and get a piece of the pie.
The foundation of those forces outside the domain may not be weaker than the Taoist traditions in the land of Kyushu.
"Saint Son, there are nine immortal sects and seventeen aristocratic families traveling together this time. Among them, there are seven great masters in the eighth realm, nineteen great masters in the seventh realm of Dharma, and a number of other powerful people."
A disciple holding a jade book came to Jiang Lan and reported.
Jiang Lan was not surprised by this number. A force with an Eighth Realm master in charge could already be considered a first-rate immortal sect in Zhongtian Province. A top immortal sect like the Goddess Palace only had two or three Eighth Realm masters in its sect.
The current power should not be underestimated. It is enough to sweep away the top immortal sects.
"Now that everyone is here, let's go."
Jiang Lan nodded slightly. This time, he was the lead in the mediation and no one had any objection.
Soon, one after another ancient warships rumbled into the sky, riding on the clouds and mist, sinking into the opened time and space channel, and soon disappeared.
Jiang Lan returned to the palace on the ancient warship. Han Jing, dressed in a Taoist robe and with her hair tied up in a high bun, had been waiting there for a long time.
She came to the land of Jiuzhou by relying on an ancient teleportation formation. This time, she happened to return to the Sifang Star Region with Jiang Lan and others.
"This mediation is a good opportunity to destroy the Yingzhao Dojo..." Han Jing's eyes were filled with excitement and excitement.
Jiang Lan ignored her, and Chu Chan at the side helped him make tea.
Her brother Chu Yun was being hunted by Su Xuanyi's men, and now his life or death was unknown. She was a little worried, so she wanted to follow them and find out what was going on.
The Four Directions Star Region and the Kyushu Land are too far apart, and ordinary jade talismans for communication are of no use at all.
Jiang Lan sat down casually on the square chair, then looked calmly at the other woman in the hall, who was none other than Xu Yao, the young master of Gou Chen Palace.
"What's the current situation in Gou Chen Palace? Tell me first..." he said casually.
This time he went to the Sifang Star Region, for the sake of safety, he brought Xu Yao with him.
After all, she is the young master of Gou Chen Palace, and she must know more about the current situation in the four star fields than himself.
"The previous Palace Master of Gou Chen Palace was my grandfather. Eight hundred years ago, in order to break through the Saint Realm through seclusion, my grandfather forcibly refined a drop of true blood left by Gou Chen. As a result, he could not withstand his aura and not only suffered backlash, but even his mind was affected by Gou Chen's will. Sometimes he was lucid, sometimes he was confused, and sometimes he didn't recognize his relatives. In order to suppress my grandfather, several elders in the clan died tragically at his hands..."
"After grandpa woke up, he regretted what he had done. He refined a set of formations to seal himself, and then fled to Gou Chen Palace. Now his whereabouts are unknown."
"After this incident, the Gou Chen Palace began to decline and became sluggish. In addition, the other demon clan forces were eyeing it covetously. In order to consolidate its dominant position, the Gou Chen Palace was forced to cooperate with Chongming Valley and had no choice but to hand over one of the other two drops of Gou Chen's true blood to Chongming Valley."
"Although this matter has alleviated the urgent need of Gou Chen Palace, it has also left a root of trouble. The young master of Chongming Valley this generation, Su Xuanyi, is gifted and has shown amazing talent and wisdom since he was a child. Before he was seven years old, he was recognized by all the ancestors in Chongming Valley and was appointed as the next master."
“Not only that, even the sacred bird that possesses a trace of Chongming blood in Chongming Valley has recognized Su Xuanyi. He got the inheritance of Beiming Ancient Celestial Venerable from somewhere, perfectly integrated and refined that drop of Gou Chen’s true blood, and allowed Chongming Valley to gradually infiltrate and control the Gou Chen star field. Now, more than 70% of the people in Gou Chen Palace are from Chongming Valley.”
"The tribe behind me was also coerced by Chongming Valley and had no choice but to work for Su Xuanyi."
Xu Yao began to explain in a calm tone, and at the end of her words, a hint of bitterness appeared on her face.
In the past, she thought that there was no one in the world more terrifying than Su Xuanyi, but who could have imagined that she would witness with her own eyes the scene of him being captured and tortured to death by Jiang Lan at will that night.
These days, that scene still occasionally reappears in her mind, keeping her awake all night.
After hearing this, Jiang Lan did not feel any sympathy for Xu Yao. It was destined that the strong would prey on the weak in this world.
Since Chongming Valley is stronger than Gouchen Palace, they will naturally find a way to annex it, and the same goes for vice versa.
"In other words, there is only the last drop of Gou Chen's true blood left in the Gou Chen Palace?" Jiang Lan asked.
"If Su Xuanyi hadn't taken it away, it would have been the last drop." Xu Yao nodded.
The Su Xuanyi she mentioned refers to her real body, not the body that was killed by Jiang Lan that day.
"Only one drop left..."
Jiang Lan frowned slightly. He knew that there were three drops of Gou Chen blood in Gou Chen Palace. In his opinion, these three drops of true blood were the basis for extracting and condensing Gou Chen's will.
As long as he can condense the will of Gouchen, he can create Gouchen in the small world.
In this way, the prototype of his heavenly realm will be more complete.
Even with a drop of real Gou Chen blood, I don’t know if it will succeed.
"Your clan has done a lot for Su Xuanyi, so there should be evidence that he is practicing the Beiming Ancient Heavenly Art?" Jiang Lan asked indifferently.
Xu Yao was startled, then he thought of something and explained, "Su Xuanyi is very low-key and does things without leaking anything. After all, Beiming Ancient Heavenly Art is a very vicious magic skill and cannot be truly exposed to the world, so he always erases all traces..."
If the Nine-tailed Sky Fox clan were to obtain evidence of his practice of the Beiming Ancient Heavenly Art, Su Xuanyi would inevitably be put in a passive situation.
As smart as he is, he will definitely not do such a stupid thing.
Jiang Lan was not surprised. He glanced at Chu Chan behind him and said, "Just because there was no evidence in the past doesn't mean there is no evidence now. And my words are the evidence."
Xu Yao was startled again and couldn't help but look at Chu Chan. Could it be that he was planning to throw dirty water on Su Xuanyi and frame her?
So far, there has been no news of Su Xuanyi's whereabouts in the four star regions.
Of course, this is definitely related to the fact that his original body did not show up. After all, the body he walked in the world with before was at most a clone.
The clone has fallen. If the noise is too loud, it may cause the real body to be born early.
Xu Yao guessed that Su Xuanyi was practicing some kind of martial arts, which prevented him from coming out into the world yet.
Chu Chan felt a little uneasy when she was glanced at by Jiang Lan. Although she also practiced the inheritance of the ancient Lord of the North Sea, she did not have the courage like Su Xuanyi to take action against those geniuses and heroes.
She usually just devoured the corpses dug out from tombs, or bought the most heinous prisoners from death row...
Because she knew very well that once this matter was exposed, all her actions would bring unpredictable consequences.
So I have always adhered to a line.
Jiang Lan did not mean to blame Chu Chan for this. After all, he had also practiced the equally evil Blood Immortal Sect inheritance.
"Since we want to mediate the cause of the conflict between Luwu Mountain and Yingzhao Dojo, we naturally need to start from the source..."
"Only by resolving this source can this war be quelled and the four star regions be restored to peace."
"I don't believe that there would be a conflict between Luwu Mountain and Yingzhao Dojo for no reason. There must be someone behind the scenes fanning the flames and planning everything."
"Su Xuanyi is the descendant of the ancient Lord of the North Sea. The more people die in the war, the better it is for him." Jiang Lan smiled faintly.
Xu Yao was stunned when he heard this.
Chu Chan seemed to be thinking about something.
Soon, in less than half a day, a vast group of ancient warships descended from the space-time channel and arrived at the Gouchen star field among the four star fields.
This star field is very vast, with bright stars dotted in the deep and boundless universe. Every life star is not far apart, filled with rich vitality, ancient trees are lush and verdant, and many monsters live here, presenting a primitive and ancient scene.
The Gou Chen star region had already known that the Immortal Dao Alliance would send experts to mediate, so on the main star, many big figures of the demon clan had already arrived and were waiting there.
Among them, there was a blond man with wings on his back, a giant with slit eyes on his forehead, and a snake woman with arms covered with scales. The demonic energy was rolling into the sky, the mist was swirling, and the feathers were flashing by.
Some monsters even revealed their true forms, and their huge bodies were as big as mountains, which was frightening.
The clan that is in power in Gou Chen Palace now is still the Nine-tailed Sky Fox clan. Headed by them is a beautiful woman with graceful demeanor and charming appearance, who has the characteristics of the fox clan. She is leading her clansmen and waiting there.
However, the tall man beside him frowned and looked dissatisfied.
"Xu Yan, put away your temper. The one coming from the Xiandao League this time is the young leader Jiang Lan, who is definitely not comparable to the Xiandao League high-level officials who came to mediate before."
The beautiful woman frowned slightly and advised.
"If the Immortal Dao Alliance hadn't appeared, how could there be a war in the Four Directions Star Region? They just want to take advantage of the situation. What are you talking about mediation? I think the Immortal Dao Alliance just wants the Four Directions Star Region to be in chaos so that they can come and take advantage of it."
The tall man's tone was still filled with dissatisfaction.
"Shut up. If you keep talking like that, you might bring trouble to the tribe." The beautiful woman scolded, seeming to hate her for not fighting back.
"Aunt, cousin..."
At this time, as ancient warships hovered in the sky in the distance, a golden avenue suddenly spread out, accompanied by the light of the sunset, extremely gorgeous and sacred, and filled with a pressure that made all the great monsters here palpitate.
On this golden avenue, Xu Yao turned into a stream of light and flew straight over to the side of the beautiful woman, calling out to her affectionately.
"Cousin Xu Yao..."
The tall man, who was originally full of resentment, smiled happily when he saw her.
And more of the big monsters looked behind him at the same time, their eyes fell on the golden avenue, and their pupils shrank as they looked at the young man walking slowly towards them.
“So young…”
"His strength is terrifying. He is indeed worthy of being the young leader of the Immortal Dao Alliance who is rumored to be invincible under the Saints."
All the big monsters here restrained their demonic aura and dared not act too presumptuous.
As for the other powerful men from the Xiandao Alliance who followed Jiang Lan, they were ignored by them.
Among the great demons that came to greet them, there were some who were as powerful as the eighth realm, but now they all felt a trembling and fear coming from the depths of their hearts.
If they had not seen it with their own eyes, they would never have believed that such a terrifying and oppressive feeling could come from the young man in front of them who looked otherworldly.
"My name is Xu Yuan, and I am the deputy palace master of Gou Chen Palace. I am honored to meet the young leader and all my fellow Taoists of the Immortal Dao League."
The beautiful woman did not greet Xu Yao, but bowed to Jiang Lan and introduced herself. She was also an eighth-level powerful person. Although she did not look old, she had lived for thousands of years.
He immediately led the way, bringing everyone from the Xiandao League to the Gou Chen Palace. From time to time on the way, they could see waves of fighting coming from some life stars outside the domain, and the battle was very fierce.
The war between the Kaiming Star Domain and the Yingzhao Star Domain has already spread to the Gouchen Star Domain, and many life-bearing stars in the neighboring areas have been destroyed in the war.
At the same time, when everyone from the Xiandao League arrived at the Gou Chen star region.
Chongming Valley is located on the main star of the Chongming Star Domain.
Purple mist floated, flowing and passing through the cliffs. In the magnificent palace, the lights were bright, but the atmosphere was solemn and heavy.
"Ming Zu has already told us to call Xu Yao from Gou Chen Palace as soon as she returns to the palace to investigate what happened..."
An old man with a long beard spoke. His eyes were bright and purple, like the rising sun, making it impossible to look directly at him.
"Although this is Mingzu's intention, I think it was also Xuanyi's arrangement."
"After all, Xuan Yi suffered such a great loss, how can we let it go? But Xu Yao arrived with Jiang Lan, the young leader of the Xiandao League. Is there any hidden meaning behind this from Li Sheng? If we act rashly against Xu Yao, will it alarm Li Sheng?"
Another old man spoke, somewhat worriedly, and he seemed wary of Li Sheng in his words.
"As for who killed Xuan Yi's body that was walking around in the world, we still don't know. But the only thing that can be confirmed is that it must have been related to the Immortal Dao Alliance."
"If Li Sheng wants to maintain the situation, he can't attack Xuan Yi openly, otherwise it would be too much like bullying the weak." The old man with a long beard said with a deep look.
"You don't have to worry about it. Don't we still have Xu Yao's relatives in our hands? Just ask her and you'll know what happened."
"Xuan Yi already knows about this. He suspects that the Immortal Dao Alliance sent people to the Gou Chen Star Region to attack us, so we have to prepare in advance."
At this moment, a stream of five-colored light suddenly fluttered into the palace, and when it landed, it turned into an octogenarian old man dressed in five-colored clothes.
"Meet Ming Zu."
Everyone in the hall bowed respectfully in unison.
The sacred bird that guards Chongming Valley contains a trace of the blood of the Chongming Bird, and everyone in Chongming Valley respectfully calls it the ancestor of Ming.
Mingzu has been practicing for tens of thousands of years. Due to the special nature of his bloodline, he has a long lifespan, far exceeding that of other ethnic groups. Now he is only one step away from reaching the holy realm.
This time, when Su Xuanyi's real body is born, he will use special secret methods to help him refine the last drop of Gou Chen Palace's true blood, helping him break through the nine realms and enter the ranks of saints.
"Ming Zu, do you mean for us to take the initiative?"
"If we take the initiative, wouldn't that give Li Shengli more opportunities to take action? This doesn't seem appropriate." The old man with a long beard asked doubtfully.
"Haha, when Li Sheng broke through to the Saint King level, his aura swept across the land of Jiuzhou and spread to the depths of time and space, making some beings in the outer planes even more fearful. They originally wanted to wait until the world changed drastically before taking action, but now they can't wait any longer, and they will probably use some unnecessary taboo methods..."
"Li Sheng will definitely be delayed next, and will have no time to distract himself from other things. He established the Immortal Dao League. It is not so easy for him to take such a big cake all by himself."
Mingzu sneered, obviously having learned some news.
Li Sheng is undergoing a tribulation in his own little world, so the possibility of interference is extremely small.
But now he has become the target of public criticism, being stared at by countless eyes in the depths of time and space. As the young leader of the alliance, Jiang Lan dared to leave Taiyi Sect so openly and go far out of the domain. This just gave those existences an opportunity.
"This Jiang Lan personally came to Xuan Yi's door to be swallowed."
Mingzu sneered repeatedly on his face.
Li Ran thought that he had become a Holy King and could do whatever he wanted in the land of Kyushu, but he must not forget that the barbarians and demons had always coveted this land.
In the ancient and long history, barbarian disasters and demonic disasters have never stopped. Every time a powerful variable appears, it is likely to cause another more powerful variable.
In the back mountain of Chongming Valley, deep in the valley mouth where the mist was surging, the man sitting cross-legged in the five-colored divine egg muttered to himself, "I didn't expect that you, Qi Qingxuan, have such means. It seems that I underestimated you. I just don't know if your cooperation with the demons will bring trouble to you in the end."
At this time, in the Sifang star field, there is a very desolate and cold star field.
"I admire the foresight of the national master. I am lucky to have the help of the national master."
In a very plain thatched house, with a simple kerosene lamp lit, it was very dim. Qi Qingxuan, the sixth prince of Daxia, bowed deeply on the ground, looking like he was in awe.
"Only by uniting the vertical and horizontal can we form alliances. No matter how strong the Xiandao League is, it is only supported by the strength of Li Sheng alone. As long as he is held back, the Xiandao League will naturally collapse and disintegrate."
A man wearing a simple silk robe, sitting cross-legged on a wooden mat, flipping through an ancient scroll in his hands by the light of a kerosene lamp, his posture calm and composed, like a hermit.
"It takes the Imperial Master to come forward to persuade the Demon God. I know this very well. Otherwise, Li Sheng would not have successfully entered the realm of Saint King..." Qi Qingxuan said with emotion.
"The reason why the Demon God didn't agree is that the method you proposed has no chance of success. The Demon God will also assess the situation and weigh the pros and cons. Li Sheng has become the Holy King, so even if the Demon God's true body descends, he will be helpless."
"If he really goes to the Demon Suppression Well and attempts to move the Demon Suppression Monument, it will be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
The man on the wooden mat had a steady voice, revealing his calmness and composure.
