Among the three great empires of Great Western Continent, the Lieyang Empire is powerful as a whole, but most of the high-level practitioners hide in the rivers and lakes.
Compared with the other two empires, the absolute number of high-level practitioners in Tianlan Empire is obviously inferior.
As far as the high-level combat power mastered by the royal family is concerned, the Mingyue Empire of the Second Saint is undoubtedly the strongest.
The emperor and empress are saints themselves. Under the two saints, there are nearly thirty masters with two-character titles on the surface, and the number of lesser saints like Haier brothers is unknown, but they must exist.
And the leader of this group of practitioners who are actually the strongest in Daxizhou is Emperor Mingyue who lit a bonfire on the barren mountain on the border tonight, waiting for Lin Shuo and Miao Chengyun to worship the mountain.
At this moment, the bright moon is hanging high in the sky, and the cool breeze is blowing in the mountains.
Lin Shuo and Miao Chengyun sat opposite the emperor, wondering what kind of medicine this man was selling in his gourd.
"That meal of meat really did not invite you for nothing." Wang Di said to Lin Shuo,} "You have saved me a lot of trouble this trip."
"Oh?" Lin Shuo was a little confused.
The emperor said slowly: "Since the rise of the Badiya royal family in the grassland, it was once expected to win the world.
It's a pity that this family has no destiny. The five saints in Daxizhou in the past sixty years have nothing to do with them.
The majesty of the saint may be just a legend in the eyes of others, but for the Badiya royal family, it is a real history. The battle at Sunset Canyon reduced the original empire to a kingdom, and it could only surrender to Tianlan.
The year before last, the Haier brothers went to the misty forest. After the adventure, their cultivation improved rapidly, and they broke through to become a sub-sage in one fell swoop.
This is like a person who has been poor for several generations, but suddenly becomes rich in this lifetime, and the aura of a nouveau riche cannot be concealed no matter what.
Yasheng, although he has been favored by the gods like a saint, he is not a saint after all, but a seedling of a saint.
Since it is a seedling, it should be hidden and cultivated well. If you can really become a saint after a few years, no matter how much you pay, it will be worth it.
But they are good, for fear that others will not know that they have two sub-sages, and their behavior is becoming more and more arrogant, and the Tianlan royal family is also used to them.
I don't know if these two groups of people are acting, but in any case, the addition of two sub-sages in the neighboring country is not good news for the Mingyue Empire.
So I came here to take the lives of Brother Haier.
In the end, you took the lead and solved these two troubles for me. "
After hearing these words, Lin Shuo understood in his heart, nodded and said, "I see."
"I watched the battle that night from the roof of the imperial study in the front hall. You two are very good." The emperor looked at Lin Shuo, then at Miao Chengyun, and continued, "Brother Haier died, and now everyone is happy." Including the two of you, there are still eleven masters at the sub-holy level in Xizhou, and half of them are in our Mingyue Empire."
Hearing this, Lin Shuo was a little confused again. He didn't know what this person meant, so he could only take advantage of the situation and say, "Brother Wang really has a great family and a great career."
"The way of heaven is permanent, and nine is the extreme number. Since ancient times, there have been no more than nine saints in Daxizhou." The emperor continued, "In the past hundred years, the woman in the misty forest in Middle-earth has monopolized four of them. The five places will be divided among other practitioners in Daxizhou.
In the past sixty years, these five places have gradually been settled, and I am one of them.
But now these eleven sub-sage-level figures, including the two of you, want to go further, they can only wait.
Before that, you should hide well and not be exposed, especially in front of an enemy saint like me.
Otherwise, it would be a pity to be eliminated quickly. "
When the emperor said this, he stopped, raised his eyes and looked at Lin Shuo and Miao Chengyun indifferently, as if observing their reactions.
Slurring your words is like killing someone with a blunt knife. If you stop talking halfway through, this is the most annoying thing.
Lin Shuo had this city, and there was no response. Miao Chengyun couldn't hold back anymore, and asked, "His Majesty Mingyue, are you reminding us, or are you planning to keep us?"
"Of course I want to remind you." The emperor smiled, then looked at Lin Shuo, and said, "Brother Lin, you may think that the two of you are not from Daxizhou, and the cultivation method has its own inheritance, so it shouldn't be included in the Daxizhou formation." holy range.
In fact, this is not the case. As long as you enter Daxizhou and come to this land favored by the gods, even if you are not from Daxizhou, you can become a saint.
There have been precedents for this matter, such as the one in the misty forest, and the 'immortal' of the Lie Sun Empire. "
Hearing this, Lin Shuo asked, "Brother Wang, are you familiar with that 'immortal' from the Lie Sun Empire?"
"Not much friendship." Wang Di shook his head, "I've met you twice."
"His name is taboo, does Brother Wang know?"
"I don't know the name, I only know that his surname is Yang." Wang Di said.
Lin Shuo and Miao Chengyun looked at each other, and felt relieved.
Overseas people, surnamed Yang, this is all right. Yang Yucheng, the old patriarch of Yang, seems to be this "immortal".
As for the foreigner in the Misty Forest, although the emperor revealed a lot of information in words, Lin Shuo didn't inquire immediately.
Because he doesn't want to take the bait.
The emperor said so much, this is a trick, in fact, he is using all kinds of specious and half-understood information to set up Lin Shuo's real purpose.
If Lin Shuo asked him about the Misty Forest, it would be tantamount to not asking for it.
Of course, if you deliberately don't ask, it's not okay, because the way the emperor expressed it is obvious, he deliberately made suspense about the woman in the foggy forest.
It is obviously unreasonable for a woman to account for four out of nine saints in Daxizhou. It happened, and normal people would be curious.
It's just that Lin Shuo knows in his heart that it's not unusual for her old man to do anything, let alone nine out of four, so what if they all account for it
That was my old mother, the most outstanding descendant of the Yun family since the ancestor.
He was not surprised by this matter in his heart, but at this point, Lin Shuo understood that he should express his concern because of emotion and reason, so he gave Miao Chengyun a wink.
In terms of attainments in speaking skills, Miao Chengyun is still above Lin Shuo.
Lin Shuo knows how to speak, but he doesn't use it often. Miao Chengyun practiced every day and never spoke well.
Miao Chengyun understood Lin Shuo's gaze, and asked, "Your Majesty, just now you said that in the Misty Forest of Middle-earth, there is a woman who occupies four of the nine saints in Daxizhou. Isn’t it a little weird? We are new here, so we really don’t understand.”
"It's normal for others not to understand, and you should understand." Wang Di said playfully, "After all, Artemis at the foot of the mountain is her direct disciple. Where are you going all night? You shouldn't be wrong."
Hearing this, Miao Chengyun shook his hands at Lin Shuo, which means it's all right, don't pretend, everyone knows.
Lin Shuo nodded, "So, Brother Wang will be waiting for us in the middle of the night in this barren mountain."
"Communication with smart people can save you a lot of talking." Wang Di nodded, "Everyone is a practitioner, Brother Lin, you should be able to understand my thoughts.
Cultivation to the point where you and I are, you can't do it without talent, but you can't do it with talent alone.
You must have the mind and desire to keep climbing in order to forge ahead and reach places that others cannot reach.
Now I'm one step ahead of Brother Lin. According to Daxizhou's tens of thousands of years of inheritance, the road to my place should have come to an end.
But an expert in the foggy forest told the rest of us that the end of the road does not end with me, but ends with her.
So, I want to go to her road to see. "
"Well, it's reasonable." Lin Shuo nodded slightly.
"But the problem is, this high-ranking dragon can't see the end." Wang Di continued, "The Misty Forest was called the Middle-earth Forest a hundred years ago, and there was no mist.
And since she moved in, the thick fog persists all day long, and this fog is not only the fog in our eyes, but also the fog in our hearts.
As long as a person gets close to it, his mind will be in a daze, and when he wakes up again, he is already outside the forest.
Since the appearance of this fog, there have been many masters visiting in the past hundred years, but most of them got nothing.
So far, there have been only four exceptions.
One is 'immortal', who went to the misty forest seventy years ago and advanced from sub-sage to saint.
One is Artemis, who went from a five-year-old child to a powerful spiritual teacher thirty years ago.
The last two are the Haier brothers, from the year before last.
Except for these four people, others, including me, have visited several times without success. "
"It sounds regretful." Miao Chengyun nodded aside.
"It's really a pity." The emperor said, "but this time you have a great chance. She is originally from overseas, and you are also from overseas. If I guess right, there should be a relationship between you. And Arte Miss leads the way, this trip should be sure."
Hearing this, Lin Shuo finally understood the emperor's intention.
The monarch of the Mingyue Empire seemed to want to visit his mother in the misty forest with his group of people.
Sure enough, the emperor went on to say: "You let me accompany you to meet this expert. If you need me to pay for this, you just ask."
Lin Shuo glanced at Miao Chengyun.
The mother is not alone, so it is inconvenient for me to act arbitrarily, and the two brothers discuss things together.
Miao Chengyun smiled and said: "Since I came to Daxizhou, I have heard the reputation of the five great sages for a long time, and that is what I yearn for.
Especially the 'Queen', the only woman among the saints. I heard that she is not only powerful, but also beautiful.
I thought it would be great if I could meet this 'Queen'.
Emperor, why don't we discuss this matter
Don't get me wrong, just meet and chat, I don't want to do anything.
Isn't it Lin Shuo? "
Lin Shuo said from the side: "Brother Wang, don't worry, my brother has a very upright character and says what he says."
Wang Di looked at the two people in front of him, his face sank like water, and his eyes were deep.
"You don't like it, do you?" Miao Chengyun said, "It's the same reason."
"The truth is the same, but we are different from you." Lin Shuo said, "Brother Wang, if you don't speak now, you are still calculating the gains and losses. But we don't care about her. We I don’t have the qualifications. Therefore, whether you want to go to the Misty Forest is up to you, Brother Wang. Whether she can see you or not is up to her. It has nothing to do with the two of us.”
After saying these words, Lin Shuo stood up, clasped his fists and said, "Let's leave now."
The corners of Wang Di's eyes trembled, and he raised his eyes and said, "I warned you before, the two little sub-sages, don't expose them to the saints of the enemy country."
"Just a saint." Lin Shuo said flatly, "Brother Wang might as well give it a try."
