Pingxi general Luo Jing was defeated.
The imperial court was completely defeated in Nanfeng Mansion.
That's not all.
Wu'an Hou Shen Hong rebelled and joined forces with Nanfeng Hou Zhang Yi to attack the imperial army.
Except.
Qianshan, Luoyue and Baiyong also launched an offensive against the imperial court on the same day.
The five princes seemed to have agreed upon it.
At the same time, he launched an attack on the imperial court.
If the court could still stabilize the previous turmoil, then the current turmoil has broken the situation that the court struggled to maintain.
The imperial court had many troops.
But in fact, this troop strength includes the number of prefectures.
If the military strength of each government is discarded, the five generals headed by Shan Hao are really in charge of the military power.
But now Luo Jing was killed in battle, and the army in his hands was also buried with him.
One goes down and the other goes up.
The power of the imperial court was suddenly weakened a lot.
Especially now that all the trees and grass are surrounded by soldiers, and the princes who are standing still in each government have the possibility of rebellion.
Thus.
The imperial court still needs to divide a lot of troops to guard against this matter secretly.
It can be said.
A combination of various things brought the situation into a state of complete collapse.
"The world is in chaos so fast!" Qin Shujian put down the jade talisman for communication in his hand, frowning, but thinking about the message in the jade talisman.
He hadn't thought about it either.
Within a few days, the world was in chaos.
even.
Qin Shujian also had to pay attention to the movements in Beiyun Mansion.
In this current situation, if Qi Beiyun Hou cannot be protected, he will have some ideas.
“It’s just—Is Dazhao really going to fall apart?”
Qin Shujian looked in the direction of Zhongzhou Imperial City with an inexplicable expression on his face.
It has only been about a year since the Human Emperor passed away, and the world has been in such chaos. This is something that should not be done.
After all, the Human Emperor has been in power for so many years.
It's impossible not to be prepared at all.
But now, one of the five generals has fallen, and the situation is obviously out of control.
To be able to rank among the five great generals, he is at least a strong man of the fourth level of heaven and man.
Qin Shujian's mind kept spinning, thinking about how to deal with the current situation.
Even though the practice world is quite far away from the court.
But in fact, they are very close.
If Dazhao really collapses, it will be completely impossible for the sect to survive alone.
Think of this.
Qin Shujian immediately summoned him and sent him back.
Subsequently.
He glanced at the source of life and immediately upgraded the Guiyuan Ancestral Code to the fourth level of the Divine Martial Arts Chapter.
As the skills improve.
Qin Shujian's strength increased by several points.
Different from Zhenwu and Lingwu, although the Shenwu realm is also divided into ten levels, there is no actual transformation at each level, and it is a direct enhancement of one's own strength.
Therefore, the Divine Martial Realm is not divided into inner and outer gangs like the True Martial Realm, nor is it divided into the Spiritual God and the Sky Demonstration, like the Lingwu Realm.
Shenwu is Shenwu.
At most, it can be divided into details such as the front, middle, and back peaks.
The first to third level of Shenwu is considered the early stage, the fourth to sixth level is the middle stage, the seventh to ninth level is the late stage, and the tenth level of Shenwu is the peak.
Further up.
It is the half-step of heavenly being, and the great cultivation of heavenly being.
But seriously.
In fact, there is no division into the realm of half-step heavenly beings.
Either he is at the pinnacle of divine martial arts, or he is a heavenly being.
The so-called half-step celestial beings actually failed to break through to the celestial realm, but their strength is a bit stronger than the average divine martial peak, so they are called half-step celestial beings.
strictly speaking.
Half-step heavenly being is a symbol of failure.
Because a truly strong person would never be stuck in such an embarrassing position as a half-step heavenly being.
Or don’t break through.
Once you break through, it will be a 100% success.
After breaking through to the fourth level of the Divine Martial Realm, Qin Shujian felt that his strength had improved comprehensively.
"I'm at the fourth level of Shenwu. I'll try to break through to the Heavenly Realm within three months!"
He set a small goal for himself.
According to Qin Shujian's estimate.
Breaking through the heaven-human realm will probably be around 10 billion life sources.
Even if this range will fluctuate, it will not exceed too much.
Ten billion in three months.
In the past, it would have been impossible.
But now, it is not impossible.
There are still a bunch of evil spirits in Zhenyu everywhere in Jokhang, waiting for the arrival of his Sect Master Qin. If we don't take this opportunity to make a fortune, there will really be no shop like this after passing this village.
Subsequently.
Qin Shujian was Yukong and went to a nearby city.
If the real domains are not far apart, it would be more appropriate to go on your own.
But if they are too far apart, they still need to rely on the teleportation gate.
Although Qin Shujian can open the teleportation gate by himself, it requires the coordinates of the other end. Otherwise, the opened teleportation gate can only be entered but not exited, and will only be lost in the turbulence of space.
In front of the city.
Qin Shujian fell down and walked towards the city on foot like an ordinary person.
Every city has a forbidden air formation.
It's natural to use his method to force control of the air, but that would be too high-profile and not necessary.
This is Nanfeng Mansion.
The city in front of them had just experienced a war not long ago. There were still traces of gunpowder smoke on the walls, and the smell of iron and blood could not be completely eliminated.
but.
Although the city had just experienced a war not long ago, order in the city was almost restored.
At least when Qin Shujian walked into the city gate, many people were already going in and out, and there were also guards checking in.
When Qin Shujian walked into the city gate, he thought there would be guards stopping him.
However, after the guard took one look, he politely stepped aside with a kind smile on his face.
See this.
Qin Shujian also smiled back and immediately entered the city.
"Why didn't you stop that person just now?"
"That lord is definitely a strong monk. There is no need to intercept him just for a little money. He might even make the other party evil."
After Qin Shujian walked away, one of the guards asked, and the other guard also answered.
The so-called city entry level is only for ordinary people.
Many people can still enter the city without road guidance. The difference is just to pay more or less.
If these people fabricate an identity casually, there is no way to verify it.
Therefore, the job of this guard is not so much to audit and inspect the people entering and exiting, but rather to be a part of collecting money.
With his eyesight.
He could also feel the extraordinary energy in Qin Shujian's body, so he didn't intercept him.
the other side.
Qin Shujian walked into the city. Some of the shops on both sides of the street were opened, while the remaining doors were closed. Although there were pedestrians coming and going on the street, there were not many of them.
inside these people.
There are also players.
He didn't pay too much attention to this.
This time he came to this city just to borrow the teleportation gate. As for other matters, Qin Shujian had no intention of paying attention to it.
When he came to the teleportation gate.
The general guarding the teleportation gate had already handed over his hand first and asked respectfully: "May I ask if it's in front of Qin Shujian, Sect Master Qin?"
"So what?"
"Don't get me wrong, Sect Master Qin. It's just that the Marquis has already given instructions. If he meets Sect Master Qin, he hopes to talk to Qin Shujian."
For fear of causing Qin Shujian's displeasure, the general directly stated his purpose.
Hear the words.
Qin Shujian frowned slightly and refused, saying, "Qin has other things to do, and I'm afraid he will let down Marquis Nanfeng's kindness."
At this juncture.
He doesn't plan to have too much contact with Zhang Yi.
The situation is good now.
Maybe if you chat more, it will arouse other people's suspicion.
The relationship between Jokhang and the rebels is at odds with each other. Even if Jokhang falls apart, sooner or later these princes and rebels will fight to the death.
In this situation.
It’s not time to take sides yet.
In response to Qin Shujian's rejection, the general also had a troubled look on his face, but he did not dare to insist too much and instead stepped aside to get out of the way.
"Since Sect Master Qin has something to do, I don't dare to stop him. I wonder where Sect Master Qin is going?"
"Which city in Nanfeng Mansion is closest to Pingchuan Mansion?"
"This is the True Domain City. If Sect Leader Qin wants to go to Pingchuan Mansion, he needs to go to Hefeng City first and then transfer to the teleportation gate."
"Then let's go to Zephyr City."
Qin Shujian nodded.
Then he saw the teleportation gate activated and he had disappeared.
The moment Qin Shujian left, the general had already reported back what he had seen.
Space changes.
Qin Shujian had already discovered that he appeared in a strange city.
After one teleportation, he started the second teleportation without any pause.
Although the teleportation gate can span a long distance, it does not mean that one teleportation can span an entire land.
most of the time.
The distance of one teleportation ranges from several real realms to only one or two spiritual realms.
After passing through five teleportation gates.
Qin Shujian finally arrived at the border near Pingchuan Mansion.
Just when he was about to enter Pingchuan Mansion.
One person stopped him.
"Sect Master Qin, please go slowly!"
"Who are you, Your Excellency?"
Qin Shujian asked calmly when he saw the young man in front of him dressed like a scholar.
Although the person in front of me looks extremely weak.
But when his magic eye passes by, he can also see the depth of the other party's cultivation.
The second level of Shenwu!
With this kind of strength, in the world of cultivation, he is considered a very powerful person.
The young scholar held up his hands and said with a smile: "I am Gao Jing, a staff member of Nanfeng Hou's tent. I heard that the Qin Sect Master has arrived, so I came here to greet you."
"Qin asked himself that he has never interacted with Nanfeng Hou. Why is this so?"
"The reputation of Sect Leader Qin is resounding throughout the spiritual world, and Lord Hou has always been yearning for him. In order to meet Sect Leader Qin this time, he has been waiting in the city. I hope Sect Master Qin can give him face and go with him. "
Gao Jing's attitude was sincere and his tone was quite respectful, showing no trace of the arrogance that should be expected in the divine martial realm.
See this.
Qin Shujian was silent for a while, and finally said lightly: "Then please lead the way."
"Sect Master Qin, please!"
Gao Jing turned sideways and then walked in front to lead the way.
Behind him, Qin Shujian followed with his hands behind his back.
Originally he didn't want to meet Zhang Yi, but the other party was obviously blocking him here, so he might as well go and take a look at what kind of medicine was sold in Nanfenghou Gourd.
If you refuse again and again, you will inevitably end up hating the other person.
Up until now, Marquis Nanfeng had behaved politely, and Qin Shujian had never thought of provoking another enemy for no reason, so he could just meet him if he wanted to.
Since there is no way to escape.
Then face it calmly.
With his current strength, even if Zhang Yi did something evil, he would not be able to keep him.
Following Gao Jing, he saw the Nanfeng Hou's staff turning left and right, and finally passed through several streets, finally stopping in front of a mansion.
On the plaque of the mansion, there are five characters written in Chinese characters: Nanfeng Hou Beifu.
"This is Nanfeng Hou's residence. The Marquis is waiting inside, and I would like to invite Sect Leader Qin to follow me in."
Gao Jing paused for a moment, explained sideways, and then walked in first.
Qin Shujian didn't hesitate and followed the other party in.
The Nanfenghou Beifu here is not much different from the Beiyunhou Beifu he had visited before.
In every big city, there will basically be a villa like this, which can be regarded as a temporary residence for a prince.
Compared with the real Hou Mansion.
The Beppu in front of me can only be regarded as a dispensable thing.
It didn't take long.
Qin Shujian followed Gao Jing into the lobby.
I saw an extraordinary middle-aged man sitting on the main seat.
After seeing the other party, Gao Jing bowed and saluted: "Master Hou, Master Qin Shujian has been brought here."
"Well, you can go down now." Zhang Yi nodded and immediately cast his eyes on Qin Shujian.
When Zhang Yi looked over.
Qin Shujian, on the other hand, stood still. He just cupped his hand symbolically and said with a smile, "Qin has met Marquis Nanfeng."
"Sect Master Qin, please sit down."
"Thank you." Qin Shujian sat down on one side without too much restraint.
After Qin Shujian sat down.
Zhang Yi looked at him carefully, and then said with a smile: "I have always heard about the reputation of Sect Master Qin, and I have always regretted not having the opportunity to meet him. Today, when I see him, he is truly well-deserved."
"The Marquis of Nanfeng praised me, but Qin's name is nothing but a small name."
Qin Shujian did not show any surprise at Nanfeng Hou's compliment, but remained as calm as ever.
Subsequently.
He asked again: "Nanfeng Marquis invites Qin to come this time. I wonder what is the important matter?"
"This time we invite Sect Master Qin to come over. There are two things to do."
Zhang Yi stretched out two fingers and said.
"First, during this period, Sect Master Qin has been killing evil spirits in Nanfeng Mansion, which has protected our Nanfeng Mansion from evil disasters. I still need to thank the people of Nanfeng Mansion."
"As for the second—"
At this point, Nan Fenghou's tone obviously paused, and his smile became serious.
"I hope that Sect Master Qin can help me, so that you and I can join in this great event!"
The words fell.
Qin Shujian's expression also changed slightly.
Participating in a grand event together is a nice way to say it.
To put it in an ugly direction, it would mean asking him to join in the rebellion.
As early as when Zhang Yi wanted to see him, he had some vague guesses in his mind, but he couldn't be sure of too much.
But Qin Shujian didn't expect it either.
Zhang Yi would speak so straightforwardly and recruit him into the group so openly.
Although he was shocked in his heart, he remained calm on the surface: "Nanfeng Marquis may have asked the wrong person. Qin is just a small idle monk, so how can he be so valued.
If there is nothing else, I will leave first. "
"Master Qin, don't leave in a hurry. Please introduce me and say a few words." Seeing that Qin Shujian was about to leave, Zhang Yi also asked him to stay.
After seeing the other party sit down again, he continued.
"Now that the Human Emperor has fallen, Prince Xi Yang has ascended to the throne, but he does not have the means to control the world. Now the Great Zhao is at war, and it will only fall apart day and night."
"And I am now in charge of the entire Nanfeng Mansion. Among all the princes, I am undoubtedly the number one in strength."
"The only thing I lack now is the talent of a master of formations like Sect Master Qin. If Sect Master Qin is willing to help, when things are done in the future, I will definitely treat him as a high official and generous salary.
It is not impossible to even make Yuanzong the only orthodox sect in the world. "
Zhang Yi kept extending olive branches.
He really valued Qin Shujian.
Not only do you value the other party's current achievements, but more importantly, the other party's future growth.
As far as he knows.
It has only been three to five years since Qin Shujian started practicing, and he has already become a great monk in the divine martial realm.
According to this speed of cultivation, it probably won't take long to break through to heaven.
not to mention.
The other party is rumored to be the reincarnation of a powerful person.
Such a strong person, once he breaks through to the heavenly realm, will never stop at the level where he has just entered the heavenly realm. There is still a great chance that he can reach his former peak again.
This kind of future is likely to be a powerful genius.
Zhang Yi naturally wanted to win him over.
Even if we don’t talk about the future.
Just speaking now, the other party is also invincible in the true domain, and is a master of formations comparable to those of heaven.
In addition, Yuan Zong's strength is not weak, which is exactly what he needs right now.
It is for these reasons.
Zhang Yicai had to try his best to drag Qin Shujian onto his ship.
the other side.
Qin Shujian was also a little shaken by Zhang Yi's promise.
The only orthodox sect in the world.
If Zhang Yirong really ascends the throne, then Yuan Zong will be above all sects and become a truly supreme existence.
only-
The premise of all this is that Zhang Yi can ascend the throne.
But in Qin Shujian's eyes, the other party may not have this opportunity.
so.
After Zhang Yi finished speaking, he just thought about it, shook his head and said, "Thank you for your love, but Qin knows how much he weighs, so I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to take on the important responsibility."
"Sect Master Qin doesn't have to rush to refuse. What I say now will be equally valid in the future. Sect Master Qin can come to Nanfeng Mansion at any time when he has made up his mind."
Zhang Yi smiled calmly and was not angry at Qin Shujian's rejection.
"However, I still want to remind you that although Xiao Chengfeng is powerful, Beiyun Mansion's foundation is too shallow after all, and Dazhao's power is also deeply rooted, unlike our Nanfeng Mansion.
I am not afraid to say arrogant words. Among the princes today, there is only one who can compare with me in Nanfeng Mansion.
I don’t require you to give an answer now. Sect Master Qin can think about it carefully. "
"Okay, let's wait until Qin thinks about this clearly."
Qin Shujian nodded and gave an ambiguous answer.
What did the other party's last words mean? It was just that he thought he would side with Beiyun Hou, so he took a precaution in advance.
To this.
He didn't defend anything.
As for Zhang Yi, after hearing Qin Shujian's answer, he didn't talk too much about this issue.
Many things only require one or two sentences to point out something.
If you say too much, it may backfire.
At least in Zhang Yi's opinion, if Qin Shujian wanted to take sides, Nanfeng Mansion would also be his first choice.
This is his confidence.
This is also the strength now possessed by Nanfeng Mansion.
After that, the two chatted some more, but the topic did not come back to the matter of siding with each other.
At the end, Qin Shujian suddenly stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Qin has other things to do, and I wasted a lot of time here, so I'll take my leave first."
"Okay, I look forward to my next meeting with Sect Leader Qin."
Zhang Yi nodded, then clapped his hands, and an attendant came in from outside.
"You can give this gift to Sect Master Qin for me."
"Young man, I obey." The attendant bowed and accepted the order.
Qin Shujian cupped his hands, followed the attendant, and left the lobby.
About a quarter of an hour passed.
There was originally only Zhang Yi in the lobby, but Gao Jing walked in from the side.
"Master Hou, Qin Shujian obviously has no intention of standing with us. If we let him go back now, I'm afraid he will be suspected of letting the tiger go back to the mountain."
"There is no need to rush into some things. He is a smart man and should know how to choose."
Zhang Yi's expression became indifferent, no longer as cheerful as before.
"If you are not careful in taking sides now, you will be shattered to pieces. If he agrees, I will have to worry about whether Xiao Chengfeng deliberately sent a secret agent.
The current approach is more reassuring. "
"Then the Marquis thinks that Qin Shujian will really be on our side?" Gao Jing asked.
"If he chooses to get involved, siding with us is much safer than siding with Xiao Chengfeng. If he really wants to stay out of the matter, then make other plans.
but-"
Zhang Yi suddenly had murderous intent in his eyes, and his voice became cold: "If he insists on being an enemy of our Nanfeng Mansion, then you can't blame me for being ruthless."
not friend.
That is the enemy.
He has never been merciful towards his enemies.
Especially an enemy with unlimited potential like Qin Shujian, if he doesn't get rid of him as soon as possible, it will be a big trouble later when the opponent grows up.
Just now, Zhang Yi had the idea of leaving Qin Shujian behind, but he did not do so in the end.
After all.
Still not sure, take down the opponent.
Because this is not a spiritual realm, nor a big realm, but a small real realm.
Although he is a strong man in the realm of heaven and man, in the true domain, he is just equivalent to a monk who has condensed the heavenly locks of the universe. In terms of true strength, he may not be Qin Shujian's opponent.
If you really take action and fail to take down the opponent.
That would be tantamount to pushing this strong man completely against him.
Such a thing.
Zhang Yi will not do it easily.
Gao Jing on the side also fell silent when he heard this.
He could also guess a thing or two about what the Marquis was thinking. In addition, Qin Shujian had already left at this time, so it was already too late to say anything, so he simply said no more.
As for Qin Shujian.
After leaving Nanfenghou Beppu, he directly passed through the teleportation gate and entered Pingchuan Mansion.
