Chapter 345
Chapter 345
The imperial capital of Zhongzhou, the imperial palace, and the imperial study.
The young Emperor Wu Ping sat in front of the long desk to review the memorials. Beside him, Taizu Yan stood quietly.
He didn't speak most of the time, just watched quietly. But even so, the young emperor subconsciously straightened his back and became tense.
Yan Taizu, who has reached the state of Changsheng Quan, can lock his qi and blood without losing it. Although it is not as good as Qiao Mu who has practiced "Human Dao Jing", his qi and blood do not retreat but increase, but it is still quite extraordinary.
At this time, Yan Taizu looked like a young man in his twenties. His appearance alone even made him look younger than the portrait of Yan Taizu hanging in the imperial study.
The Human King Sword still hangs on Yan Taizu's waist, and golden light flashes from time to time on the sword.
However, since the Great Rebellion in Kyushu, the fortunes of the country have declined sharply, and the light of the Human King Sword has also dimmed a lot.
"The Immortal Sect has never been willing to fight me head-on. Are you so afraid of the power of luck..." Taizu Yan lowered his eyelids and was not in a very high mood:
"It's just that their move has been very effective. Since the Great Rebellion in Kyushu, the fortune of the Human King's Sword has dropped sharply by half. This represents the fate of the country..."
"This is to besiege the city without attacking. It is to forcefully bring down our Great Yan Dynasty."
Yan Taizu was not in a high mood. When he was in his prime, he was an unparalleled warrior and fought all the way to create a great Yan Dynasty. But now that the Immortal Sect won't fight him at all with the Human King Sword in his hand, what can he do?
After thinking about this, Taizu Yan suddenly realized something and turned back to look at the door of the Imperial Study Room.
Not long after, a figure strode over.
This person was Wayne. At this time, he was sweating profusely, his back was wet with sweat, his wet robe clung tightly to his back, and there was steam steaming from his head.
After Wu Shengren faked his death and before the rise of the Qiao family, Wayne, who was proficient in the Eight Steps of the Heavenly Dragon, was regarded by the world as the number one person in Qinggong.
Wayne is a first-level martial arts practitioner, but what he is best at is not facing the enemy head-on, but rather light kung fu, interrogation, and witnessing techniques. His attainments in the Eight Steps of the Heavenly Dragon are still higher than those of eight-armed Heavenly Dragon descendants like Long Shankong.
He is extremely talented in Qinggong. He came all the way from Linhe Fucheng in Southwest China to perform Qinggong. During his breaks, he would sit on horseback at the post station to gain some luck.
"It's so urgent. It seems that something big has happened in the past few months since Southwest State has been closed down?" Yan Taizu asked.
When Wayne left for Linhe Fucheng, the Southwest State and Zhongzhou had lost contact. Only a master of light skills like Wayne could quietly bypass the main road controlled by the Immortal Sect.
"It is indeed an important matter."
Wayne briefly talked about his experiences in Southwest China, and at the same time took out several thin thread-bound books from his bag.
There is the "Human Dao Jing", the "Lingxi Sound Transmission Technique", and the "Divine Transformation Technique", which are all unique skills taught to the outside world by Taoyuan Villa.
This is actually the reason why Wayne rushed back after traveling thousands of miles.
Dayan's national destiny is declining every day, and if this continues, sooner or later the deterrent effect of the Human King Sword will be completely lost.
Therefore, Yan Taizu's personal force was actually quite important.
Wayne is also a man who knows the goods. After getting these few secrets, he came over at night.
"Divine Transformation Technique? Lingxi Sound Transmission Technique?"
Yan Taizu only glanced at it briefly, then frowned unconsciously, and his attention was immersed in it.
After half an hour, he finally raised his head and sighed slightly.
Wu Shengren sent a mantra, saying "Qi and Shen are in harmony".
The Qiao family sent a detailed "Divine Transformation Technique", which is a method of qualitative transformation of internal energy that has only been available in the past hundred years.
"This Martial Saint and that Qiao Jin have underestimated me..." Taizu Yan grinned:
"Especially that Joakim."
But Wayne looked embarrassed:
"Then Qiao Jin is dead. Now, the people in charge of the Qiao family who asked me to send "The Love of the Gods" are Qiao Xin and Qiao Shuangxu."
Joakim is dead?
Taizu Yan was startled for a moment, and then felt slightly in a trance.
According to common sense, if one has practiced martial arts to the level of him and Qiao Jin, even if he is facing an immortal monk, there are actually many ways to save his life.
For example, in the hands of Yan Taizu, there are actually many miraculous elixirs that the royal family has accumulated over hundreds of years. They were not used even in the previous battle with Qiao Jin in the palace.
"Dead?" Yan Taizu couldn't help but asked:
"How did a person like him die?"
"He died in Xishan Village, the hometown of the former Gun Saint..." Wayne gave a rough overview of the situation.
Contrary to Yan Taizu's expectation, Qiao Jin's death was not that spectacular.
His death was sudden and uncomplicated. He simply died in the mountains where no one knew.
"That's right." Taizu Yan said in a low voice:
"With the way the Qiao family behaves, no matter how high their martial arts skills are, their lives will be short-lived."
People will die if they want to die, and the demon will disintegrate at the beginning, and even if they don't die, they will shed their skin.
"It's a pity that a person like Qiao Jin has died in an unknown place..." Taizu Yan was quite a bit hurt by things.
He was similar in strength to Qiao Jin who broke into the palace, but he didn't use the magic medicine at the bottom of the box in time... one move away, and the whole game was lost.
So he had some sympathy for Qiao Jin. Now that he suddenly heard the news of his death, he felt sad for a while.
"Qiao Jin said in the past that he should use me as a mirror. Although he is dead, why can't I use the Qiao family as a mirror?"
This thought crossed Taizu Yan's mind, he pondered for a moment, and then ordered:
"Transcribe the "Lingxi Sound Transmission Technique" and let the upper-third-level masters in Feiyu Guard master it as soon as possible.
"
Taizu Yan's vision was naturally not bad either.
If it is said that "The Secret of Divine Transformation" is expected to change his inner strength, his strength will further improve.
Then the "Spiritual Sound Transmission Technique", which does not benefit his personal martial arts strength, may not be less useful to the Great Yan court than the "Divine Change Technique".
Now that the Nine Provinces are in chaos, the court has lost contact with the local areas, and the main roads in all directions are almost intentionally blocked by the immortal gates, and political and military orders cannot be passed.
As a result, the deaths of Qiao Jin and Qiao Xi, as well as Qiao Xin's deeds of cutting off the flood, have not been heard by Yan Taizu until today.
But as long as there are a certain number of spiritual masters who have mastered the "Spiritual Sound Transmission Technique", it is hoped that they will break through the blockade of the immortal gates and allow the court to grasp the movements of the other eight states.
Even if they cannot rush to help from a thousand miles away, they can also allow the court to be prepared.
As for now....
Yan Taizu looked down at the gradually dimming Human King Sword on his waist, then looked at the young emperor who was reviewing the memorials in front of the case, and turned away.
............
Deep in the Ten Thousand Mountains, on the top of the Black Mountain.
The ground shook and trembled around, the ground cracked and closed again, and in the blink of an eye, Qiao Mu and others were already on the top of the Black Mountain.
The faint moonlight fell, and the wind rustled the trees.
Such extraordinary power made Wu Qizhen and others look at it sideways.
"The essence of the Mountain Mother is that this Black Mountain itself has spiritual wisdom, comparable to natural gods. Within the scope of this Black Mountain, her complete power is probably close to that of a mountain god, and she can control things on the Black Mountain as if she were using her arms and fingers."
"The villagers here worship her as a mountain god like the 'Mountain Mother', which is a good thing by accident."
Although the Nascent Soul cultivators also have the ability to turn the tide, roll up floods, and easily destroy a city, causing natural disasters.

But on this black mountain, the mountain mother manipulates the terrain changes of this mountain as easily and smoothly as breathing.
"No wonder Wu Qi is so sure that since the martial saint has come to Southwest State, he will not miss the mountain mother." Qiao Mu also had this thought in his mind.
The blood of the powerful demon race is actually much larger than that of the human warriors.
Monsters like Shanmu and Tongtian Shuiling are somewhat unusual. Their bodies are extremely huge, thousands of times larger than ordinary monsters.
It's like a 50kg lightweight boxer versus a sumo wrestler over 200KG. When they are of similar level, they can't be compared.
And a giant monster like Shanmu is just like a lightweight boxer versus a meat mountain demon king over 1000KG.
Even if their cultivation is similar, a giant monster with such a huge body is a world apart from other monsters.
This is why Shanmu and Tongtian Shuiling are both regarded as having the qualifications of a monster king and are expected to become the trump card of Yunxiao Sect.
The former is a natural creature born by heaven and earth, and the latter is a natural creature born by the magic of the immortal sect. Every mountain and every river has infinite power, which is not comparable to ordinary monsters.
Seeing the jade woman reveal her identity at this moment, Zhang Kui and Fengxian were very excited and bowed down immediately.
Qiao Mu didn't have much respect for her. He walked up curiously and looked carefully at the jade woman whose half body was stuck in the mountain wall.
This jade woman was extremely charming and beautiful. She was the obsession of countless boys for decades. She was a goddess who gathered countless desires in her dreams and imagination. Naturally, she had a beauty that should not exist in the world.
At this moment, only half of her body was exposed. Although she was a human figure made of jade, she was also curvy and had a rare softness.
Although only half of her body was exposed, her upper body was also plump and upright, extremely graceful and soft.
"A beauty with half of her body stuck in the wall? What kind of boy's dream is this..." Qiao Mu complained in his heart.
"By the way, your buttocks are not on the other side of the mountain wall, right?"
He stretched his neck and looked behind the mountain wall.
He wanted to see if there was really half of her buttocks on the other side of the mountain wall, but he only saw a lot of rocks behind him.
Before the mountain mother spoke, Wu Qi next to her could not hold it anymore.
"Mr. Qiao, why are you so reckless? Although this mountain mother is not a mortal woman, she is a natural monster with an unpredictable temperament..."
This mountain mother is not a weak woman with half of her body stuck on the wall.
As the spirit of this mountain, the mountain mother can control the Black Mountain to shake and change the terrain with a thought.
If the mountain mother is really angry, he might be pressed under the Black Mountain by the mountain mother in the next moment, and he might even be pressed with his butt facing outward.
To Wu Qizhen's surprise, when facing them, the mountain mother was extremely patient and explained calmly:
"I am not a mortal woman, and the human form on the outside is just a mimicry."
"So my butt is not stuck behind the mountain wall, only this half of my body."
"Huh? You actually answered seriously?" Wu Qizhen was surprised.
"If Mr. Qiao has any opinion about the second half of my beautiful body..." the beauty said calmly:
"You can touch the sincere gold stone and convey your thoughts to me, so as to help me make a decision."
While speaking, the beauty waved her hand.
Just hearing the rumbling sound, ripples like water waves appeared on the mountain wall, and then many strange butt-like bulges suddenly appeared...
So weird, so weird...
The butt growing on the mountain wall is like the butt growing on the chin. Instead of being charming at all, it looks weird and inexplicable.
However, Qiao Mu and others were able to see that this beautiful lady, Mountain Mother, seemed to be quite easy to talk to and quite friendly to them.
"From what you say, it seems that it's not the time to break out of the cocoon and become a butterfly, right?" Qiao Mu said:
"You only have half your body, and you can't seem to come out in human form?"
Although this half of the human figure is just a mimicry, it is enough to explain the current situation of Shan Mu.
The so-called beauty is not an independent individual.
She only had half of her body on the stone wall, and the remaining part was integrated with the Black Mountain. She was not separated and could not walk freely.
"Not bad." Mountain Mother nodded:
"I have been sleeping longer and longer over the years, just to accumulate strength in order to get out of this mountain."
The Mountain Mother is a spiritual intelligence born in the Black Mountain, but she is like a slow giant with limited mobility.
Although his powers are endless, he can control the mountain like his arms and fingers.
But they also lost the freedom to walk everywhere like ordinary monsters.
"What can I do to help you get out of this Black Mountain?" Wu Qizheng asked solemnly.
He only cares about how to kill Wu Shengren.
Now Shan Mu only has half of her body, which is like a living target that cannot be moved.
When facing ordinary enemies, there may be no need to dodge at all, but when facing a martial saint...
Wu Qizheng is not optimistic.
He told the story about Wu Shengren and made it clear that Wu Shengren was probably close and would endanger Shan Mu's life.
"Martial Saint..." The beauty closed her eyes.
"He's already here."
The milky white mist gathered and soon formed the tall image of the Martial Saint.
In the picture formed by the condensed water mist, Wu Shengren is walking in a black mist that makes him unable to see his fingers.
His thick black hair was flying in the wind, and he walked in the dark mist with his eyes closed, but his movements were not slow at all.
"Huh?" Wu Qizheng's expression changed slightly:
"Close your eyes and just follow your instincts?"
Wu Shengren's achievements in the way of refining gods are unprecedented. Although Shan Mu's black mist can isolate the inside and outside, it can only block Wu Shengren for a while.
Even if you can't see with your eyes and can't identify the direction in the dark fog, you can still rely on your own intuition to get on your way.
Wu Qi was looking at the tree next to him with complicated eyes.
At this point, his mission has been completed.
Wu Qi is a guide, only responsible for finding traces of Wu Shengren.
Whether he can kill Wu Shengren and fulfill his expectations depends on the strength of the Qiao family.
"Wu Shengren's divine refining intuition seems to be stronger than I expected." Wu Qizheng hesitated for a moment and looked at Qiao Mu:
"If Mr. Qiao is not completely sure, he can actually retreat temporarily. There is no need to compete with the Martial Saint at this time."
"You want me to retreat?" Qiao Mu smiled:
"Now that things have come to this, are you telling me to quit?"
"Martial Saint has always been very scheming. A person like him will never go into danger lightly."
"Who can be very sure about the Martial Saint?" Qiao Mu said lightly:
"Wu Qizheng, you have fulfilled your duty of leading the way. Whether Qiao wins or loses, dies or lives, depends on Qiao alone and has nothing to do with you."
