Although he said "Senior Zichen Jianshen" and addressed him politely, there was actually no politeness in his words.
There is clearly a grudge!
Jianchou didn't know about it before, but after Jiyu came back, he saw his ancestor on the Mitian mirror under Yashan, and had a clear understanding of the old grudges between Yashan and Kunwu. Naturally, he knew who Shen Jiuhan was and what despicable things he had done!
Eleven Jiazi years ago, a battle that swept the world broke out between the Nineteen Continents Cultivation World and the Extreme Domain Ghost Cultivation World for the control of reincarnation. At that time, Shen Jiuhan and Hengxu Zhenren were called the "Kunwu Twins" by the world, and they were both amazing and famous.
Unexpectedly, during the battle, Shen Jiuhan attacked Qu Zhengfeng from behind!
Yashan and Kunwu have always been comrades who fought side by side. Who would have time to react if they suddenly attacked? Shen Jiuhan was not only of a higher generation than Qu Zhengfeng, but also had a higher level of cultivation at that time. Qu Zhengfeng was definitely not his opponent. He suffered a great loss, but he escaped death and saved his life. However, Yu Shanxing, who fought against the enemy together with him, eventually rebelled against Yashan because he failed to seek justice from Kunwu, and died of his injuries.
Today, Qu Zhengfeng also rebelled against Yashan.
Even the sixth generation of Yushan Sect, Yushanxing, was standing in this Lanyue Hall wearing the Taoist robe that Yushanxing wore back then.
He did not mention the old grudges against Yashan Kunwu at all, as if he really had nothing to do with Yashan. However, just Yushan Xingliu and himself standing here were enough to make all those who knew about these old grudges in Kunwu suppress their fear! Not to mention that he had mentioned the name "Purple Palace Sword" so lightly again!
Even though Zhenren Hengxu had experienced many ups and downs, his face changed slightly when he heard Qu Zhengfeng mention the three words "Purple Palace Sword" again.
The smile that was always on his face disappeared for a moment.
But in the next moment, he had returned to normal. He did not even ask if Qu Zhengfeng had been rude. He just said calmly, "Junior Brother Shen has been in seclusion for many years and there is no news of him coming out. Thank you for your concern, little friend Qu."
He had previously called him "Sword Emperor", but now he called him "Little Friend Qu". There was a different meaning hidden in it, and everyone could hear it a little bit.
For a moment, I couldn't help but feel worried.
There are many cultivators in the Nineteen Continents, and the grudges between the various sects are even more complicated. Gathering together sounds like a grand event, but it is not so easy to put aside the prejudices and contradictions between each other.
When we first arrived at Xinghai a few days ago, there were conflicts between Yashan and Tongling Pavilion, not to mention the accommodation deliberately arranged by Jiexing Villa, which made the relationship between all the sects tense.
Now Qu Zhengfeng is directly at odds with Kunwu Hengxu Zhenren!
No matter how you look at it, the situation seems to be undercurrents and it doesn't look like it can be resolved peacefully.
But everyone knows that now is not the time to start a dispute. No matter what hatred there is now, it has to be suppressed in the face of bigger events.
Zhenren Hengxu knew it, and Qu Zhengfeng naturally knew it too.
So after the two of them exchanged a few words, neither of them took the next step.
Upon hearing this, Qu Zhengfeng smiled without comment and stopped talking. He walked directly to the long table in the Lanyue Hall which was set up for meetings and sat down on the left side of the seat without any courtesy.
Medicine King Yiming also followed and sat on the upper right side.
When the visitors from other sects in the Nineteen Continents saw this scene, they all cursed in their hearts, "What a courage!" After all, a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake, and it would not be convenient to argue with him about the seating arrangement, not to mention that if a fight really broke out with the Polar Region, Tomorrow's Star Sea would be extremely important, and it would depend on him, so they didn't say anything and endured it.
Everyone took their seats.
No matter how big the Lanyue Hall is, the space is limited, not to mention that there is only one long table in the middle of the room, which can only seat about twenty people from beginning to end, so only the leaders of a region are qualified to sit there.
At this moment, a glance can be described as extremely shocking.
Excluding Qu Zhengfeng and Medicine King Yiming, who were the hosts at the top, the following were the head of Kunwu in the Central Region, Zhenren Hengxu, the elder of Yashan and the head of the sect, Zheng Yao, the head of Yin Sect in the Northern Region, Xianji Xuanyue, the head of Yang Sect, Qianyuanzi, the abbot of the Zen Sect in the West Sea, and Monk Yichen, the old secret Vajrayogini Yangjin in the Snow Region, Zhang Yuandai, the head of the Left Three Thousand Demon Sealing Sword Sect in the Central Region, Pang Dian, the elder of Longmen, Lu Song, the master of Tongling Pavilion, the Taoist Wangyou, the master of Baiyue Valley, Master Ranshuang, Shen Yao, the great Sima of Tongguan Post in the southeastern wilderness of the Southern Region, and Wei Xie, the head of the Wei family in the southwest.
Jianchou knew most of the people inside.
She, along with several elders including Bi Yan and Xihe, casually stood behind Fu Dao Shanren and Sect Leader Zheng Yao, sizing up these important figures in the field.
It goes without saying that those who are familiar to him, and those who have met him all have some understanding of him; but those who are unfamiliar to him or have not met yet, attract more attention from Jianchou.
There are three thousand sects in the Central Region, and the most people come here.
She already knew Zhang Yuandai, Pang Dian and Lu Song, and had even dealt with them before, but she was not very familiar with Master Ran Shuang, the master of the Baiyue Valley, and Taoist Wangyou, the master of the Wuyi Sect. This was the first time she had seen the latter; and she was even less familiar with Wei Xie, the head of the Wei family, a southwestern family in the southern region.
Master Ran Shuang has been practicing for many years. She is actually a person of the same generation as Fu Dao Shanren. Her talent in practice is not top-notch, but she is extremely smart and thoughtful. She sat next to Longmen Elder Pang Dian, wearing a snow-white Taoist robe, with a kind look between her eyebrows, and looked easy to get along with.
A lot of Lu Xiangleng's personality must have been inherited from her.
However, she did not bring Lu Xiangleng with her to such an important occasion as the Xinghai Meeting today. Standing behind her was only an elder whom Jianchou did not recognize.
It seems that Lu Xiangleng took in Xiahou She when he defected from the Demon Sealing Sword Sect, which has already made the Demon Sealing Sword Sect unhappy. If she appears here at this moment, no matter how honorable a person she is, she will probably become a glaring thorn in the eyes of the Demon Sealing Sword Sect. It is better not to come.
The leader of the Wuyi Sect, Taoist Wangyou, did not look that unusual. He had an ordinary appearance, wore an ordinary Taoist robe, and had ordinary cultivation. One would not guess that he was the leader of a sect that could produce such a bizarre person as Ruhua Gongzi.
Sitting a little behind him was Xin Zhao, the head of the Xin family.
The Southern Region has always been a chaotic place, with demons rampant in the southeast wilderness, and the aristocratic families in the southwest do not have sects, but instead establish themselves as a family. The Qin, Wei, and Xin families are in a three-way competition, occupying the southwest. It is difficult for ordinary forces to shake them, and the relationships between them are all pretty good.
Xin Zhao, the head of the Xin family, was the candidate nominated by the three families to participate in the meeting.
Jianchou took a look at this man. Although he was wearing an embroidered robe and had a handsome face, he felt that he looked familiar between his eyebrows, so he looked at him for a while.
Unexpectedly, the Xin family master's cultivation level was comparable to Jianchou's. He immediately noticed Jianchou's gaze and turned his eyes to look at her. At first, he didn't think anything of it, but after seeing her appearance and the position she was standing in, he was slightly startled, then smiled at her and nodded slightly.
In an instant, an idea flashed through Jianchou's mind.
It's not noticeable when the head of the Xin family is not smiling, but when she smiles, she is reminded of her old friend Xiao Jin who always loved to eat melons. There are some similarities between the two people's eyebrows.
But she clearly remembered that Xiao Jin was the young master of the Jin family, a family in the southwest that was not among the top three. How come he looked somewhat similar to the head of the Xin family
Jianchou felt a little strange, but he didn't think too much about it at this time.
Because after everyone took their seats, this important meeting began.
As the host here, Qu Zhengfeng naturally spoke first: "There have been many things going on in Xinghai in the past two days. Although I know that you have come from afar, I have not been able to greet you. I hope you can forgive me for my impoliteness. Before today's meeting, I have already talked with Mr. Yiming and Cangji Sanren. Senior Cangji is about to pass the eighth calamity and is unwilling to participate in the disputes on the 19 continents. Mr. Yiming rarely cares about worldly affairs and is not good at speaking. Therefore, my opinion today is the opinion of Xinghai. I hope you will understand it."
Naturally, everyone had no objection.
This situation is predictable.
Although there are many strong people in the Tomorrow Star Sea, few of them can match Qu Zhengfeng in combat power. Although Cangji Sanren is powerful, he has always been a person who only wants to ascend to the Shangxu Immortal Realm and doesn't want to care about other things; although Yaowang Yimingxian has a high status, his cultivation is not enough. When it comes to such a situation, he can only be one step behind Qu Zhengfeng.
Qu Zhengfeng knew that no one would object, so after finishing his previous words, he paused for a moment before continuing, "Many years ago, Master Hengxu had already discussed the matter of the Extreme Domain with me. The matter of the Six Paths Wheel is of great importance. The longer it is delayed, the more trouble it will cause. We are gathered here today, and I, Qu Zhengfeng, am just a host. Naturally, Master knows more about the matter of Yin and Yang in the Extreme Domain. Please speak, Master."
"You're welcome, my friend."
There was no expression on Hengxu's face. He sat steadily opposite Fudaoshanren and thought for a moment before speaking.
"All of you here today should know about the Yin-Yang Realm War eleven Jiazi years ago, so there is no need for me to say more. The conflicts between the cultivators of the Nineteen Continents and the ghost cultivators of the Extreme Domain all stem from the struggle for the power of reincarnation. After the war, King Qin Guang and others worked together to set up the Heaven-Relief Creation Array, which blocked the Ghost Gate between the Extreme Domain and the Nineteen Continents, and also cut off the chance for our cultivators to enter reincarnation after their death. In the blink of an eye, more than six hundred years have passed. Two days ago, the Ghost Gate of the East Peach Forest moved again. You should have heard about it. The Extreme Domain is still determined to destroy the Nineteen Continents, and it controls reincarnation. If we don't prepare early, I'm afraid we will not be able to escape."
The battle eleven generations ago was so brutal.
The vast sky of the Nineteen Continents was dyed red with blood. Countless monks lost their lives in this battle, and their souls were scattered and disappeared between heaven and earth.
When everyone thought of the past, they all fell silent.
Abbot Wujiu of the Xihai Zen Sect sighed as he recalled the past and chanted a Buddhist name: "Amitabha, I have all heard about this matter. We also know that the Snow Region has been completely closed to the outside world for more than 20 years. There must be some conspiracy behind it. I am ashamed of my Zen Sect. I have been reincarnated for 11 years until I was eliminated for participating in the dispute between the new and old secrets 20 years ago. However, I have secretly learned a lot of news about the Extreme Region, which may be useful for you to see. I hope it can be of some use."
During the war between the Yin and Yang realms, Buddhism was also a sect that stabbed people in the back, secretly colluding with the Polar Region. Afterwards, it naturally retained the qualification to enjoy reincarnation, and was even able to send Buddhist disciples to the Polar Region for training.
But Zen Buddhism is different from Tantric Buddhism after all.
At that time, Tantric Buddhism was very powerful and it was this school that led the matter. Even if Zen Buddhism wanted to stop it, it was powerless. Later, due to various differences in concepts, it split into the current Zen and Tantric Buddhism during its migration northward. They were separated by the Yin and Yang sects on the land and the vast West Sea on the water, and they had completely cut off contact with each other.
The world of cultivation has never been black and white, not to mention that the West Sea Zen Sect is also a behemoth that does a lot of good deeds. Even if there was such an unclear past, few people would care about it.
But Lu Song, who was famous for his straightforwardness, was not included.
After Abbot Wuqiu placed the jade slips recording the situation of Jiyuyu on the long table, he looked over and snorted, "Your Zen sect has peacefully enjoyed six hundred years of reincarnation, and you have made your own sect look respectable. Now that you are about to go to war with Jiyuyu, you have taken out these things again. You don't feel guilty at all!"
After a night, the terrible mark on Lu Song's neck had disappeared, and the arm that was torn off had grown back. He looked no different from before, except that his face was darker and his temper was worse than before.
When he said this, he was extremely sarcastic and not polite at all.
The three Zen masters are also well-known.
Abbot Wujiu was the last of the three masters. He usually handled the secular affairs of the Zen temple and was in charge of the strict discipline hall. He was not very flexible and was too meticulous. He said those words just now out of sincere good intentions. He never thought that he would be criticized by Lu Song.
At this moment, the other person was startled, frowned, and wanted to argue with Lu Song.
But the monk Yichen who was sitting next to him reacted faster. He stretched out his hand to hold down Abbot Wujiu, and then put his hands together. On his kind and slightly fat face, his small eyes were full of smiles. He didn't look angry at all. He said to Lu Song: "Master Lu, you are obsessed with appearances. First, the power of reincarnation should be possessed by all the cultivators in the Nineteen Continents. Second, the Zen Sect has been pretending to be friendly with the Extreme Territory and living in peace for these years in order to accumulate strength for today. As the saying goes, 'use your own spear to attack your own shield'. Borrowing the enemy's strength to fight the enemy with your own strength, isn't that wise?"
"… "
"… "
"… "
The whole audience fell silent. Lu Song was so stunned that he was speechless. Even Jianchou, who was standing behind Fudaoshanren, couldn't help but twitch his lips!
He truly deserves to be the first of the three Zen masters!
His cultivation is not high, but he has a heart!
To put it nicely, it means "borrowing the enemy's strength to defeat him", to put it bluntly, it means "first quietly take advantage of the enemy's convenience to develop strength and then wait for an opportunity to kill the stupid enemy in one fell swoop". This requires not only a heart, but also a thick skin and the courage to take risks!
It is obvious that Monk Yichen is not only kind-hearted but also thick-skinned, and he is always willing to take risks.
After he finished speaking, his expression did not change. He smiled and waved his hand to ask everyone to read the jade slip first: "Those who accomplish great things do not pay attention to trivial matters. Causes are important, and results are also important. Business is important. Please take a look at the situation in Jiyu before making a decision."
Lu Song was so angry that he choked, but after thinking about it, he felt that what Monk Yichen said made sense, so he just let it go. Together with everyone else, he directed his spiritual consciousness to the jade slip and looked up the information collected by the Zen sect.
Jianchou is no exception.
Although she had been to Jiyu, it was only a short time after all, and she didn't know it well enough. She wanted to know if there would be any different news from the Zen sect. But Fu Chaosheng standing next to her didn't move. He just took a look and then looked away. Instead, he looked at Xie Buchen who was standing across a long table from him, and Qu Zhengfeng who also didn't move.
Xie Buchen was a perceptive person, and of course he noticed this abnormality, but he had never had any contact with Fu Chaosheng, and he didn't know him, so he didn't know why the other party was looking at him.
Qu Zhengfeng is different.
From the moment he entered the Lanyue Hall, he had been paying attention to Fu Chaosheng intentionally or unintentionally. One reason was because of his relationship with that little junior sister, and the other was because of his mysterious origin and unfathomable strength. So the moment Fu Chaosheng turned around to look at him, he had already noticed him.
There was a strange subtlety to the atmosphere.
Fu Chaosheng felt that there was no other meaning in his looking at these two people. It was just because he knew that Xie Buchen and Jianchou on the opposite side had an irreconcilable feud, and the relationship between Qu Zhengfeng and Jianchou at the top was both an enemy and a friend, which was quite complicated. He didn't expect that these two people would pay attention to him.
What matters is that there is something wrong with his eyes.
Fu Chaosheng raised his eyebrows slightly and thought about it for a while, but couldn't figure it out, so he simply ignored it.
By this time everyone had finished checking.
There is actually not much information on this jade slip of the Zen Buddhism. After all, they are not the Tantric Buddhism which has a better relationship with the Jiyu Territory. Even if they collect information by sending their disciples to reincarnate for training, they cannot get access to the very core things. But just these things that were revealed have made everyone frown.
From the overall power distribution of the Jiyu, to the power of the Eight Directions Yama Palace, the Ten Great Ghost Clans, the Eighteen Hells, the Seventy-two Cities, to the situation of the Secret Sect that is deeply connected with the Jiyu, everything is worrying. Even Hengxu, Fudao and others who were mentally prepared, after seeing it, could not help but reveal a solemn expression.
There was a moment of silence in the hall.
After a while, Hengxu Zhenren sighed and said, "In just eleven decades, the power of the Extreme Domain has expanded to this extent. It's really terrifying!"
"If there is another war this time, it will be a tough one. I am afraid that what I have learned from Zen Buddhism is just the tip of the iceberg."
Abbot Wujiu remained silent, and the one who spoke was the rather tactful monk Yichen. At this moment, he just smiled slightly and turned his gaze towards Yashan.
"Recently, I have heard that an extraordinary friend has come to Yashan. He once entered the Extreme Region by chance and went deep into the core of the Eight Directions Yama Palace. He is familiar with the secrets of the Extreme Region. I wonder if this friend can explain the details of the Extreme Region to us today?"
Everyone's eyes followed Monk Yichen and fell on Fu Chaosheng. The dispute between him and the leader of the Spiritual Pavilion, Lu Song, had already spread throughout the Star Sea. Although everyone did not dare to speak out, they all thought that Fu's behavior was too evil. However, they did not show it because of Yashan's face and because they heard that he was quite knowledgeable about the affairs of the Extreme Domain and was a key figure.
Now that Monk Lian Yichen mentioned it, it was exactly what everyone wanted.
Who wouldn't be curious about where this great demon came from, what abilities he has, and why Yashan protects him so much
This matter had nothing to do with Kunwu, so Zhenren Hengxu did not say anything.
On the other side of Yashan, Fudaoshanren exchanged glances with Zheng Yao, then turned back to see Chou and Fu Chaosheng to see if this big demon with a strange temper was willing to cooperate.
But unexpectedly, before they could say anything, Lu Song came up to them again.
"That's perfect. Today I want to hear what this evil spirit knows!" His face was filled with indignation, and it was obvious that he was still furious. He looked at Fu Chaosheng with an extremely cold gaze. "If you can explain it, everything will be fine. If you can't, I will seek justice for what happened yesterday! By then, don't say that you are protected by Yashan. Even if you are protected by the Green Leaf Patriarch, I will never let it go!"
Jianchou couldn't help but frown.
The other people in the field also had different reactions.
But Fu Chaosheng didn't have any other expression. The moment he heard Lu Song targeting him again, he wanted to slap this noisy man to death. But the next moment he remembered the "Tao" and "Shu" that Tianming Jianchou had mentioned before, so he raised his eyes calmly and looked at Lu Song, saying bluntly: "Are you against me because I tore your arm off last night?"
"… "
What is going on!!!
The moment they heard this, everyone was stunned. They looked at Fu Chaosheng with a puzzled look in shock. It took them a long time to realize: Is this admitting that he was the one who attacked Lu Song? !
For some reason, Jianchou's eyelids twitched.
Lu Song didn't expect that Fu Chaosheng, who had originally denied it, would casually admit it at this moment. The expression on his face froze, but the next moment he slammed the table in anger!
"It's you!"
Fu Chaosheng ignored his words, but walked up to Jianchou, stood close to Lu Song, and raised his hand.
At this moment, everyone stood up in shock!
Seeing his move, Lu Song's scalp tingled. The psychological shadow of facing a strong enemy the night before suddenly came back to him, causing him to immediately take a defensive stance and shout, "What do you want to do?!"
But no one expected that at this moment, Fu Chaosheng raised his hand, but did not fall towards Lu Song, but instead grabbed with his other arm!
“Crack!”
With a clean, neat and terrifying sound, he had already torn off one of his arms and placed it directly on the table in front of Lu Song!
The demon's blood was silver-blue, splashing everywhere;
The evil spirit was dark and spread in all directions.
Fu Chaosheng didn't even frown, nor did he immediately press on his wound. He just looked at the frightened Lu Song very sincerely: "I'll give you this arm as compensation. We're even now."
I'll give you this arm as compensation, we're even...
Evened out...
The three words "it's even" kept echoing in Lu Song's mind. Before he could retract his furious expression, he had turned into a shocked statue. He simply couldn't believe what he saw and heard!
What a horrifying scene!
What a terrifying demon!
What he did was clearly about negotiating peace, and what he said was clearly about negotiating peace, but looking at his calm and expressionless posture, it looked like a threat no matter how you look at it!
Jianchou suddenly felt a little dizzy and could hardly stand steadily.
Shen Jiu, who was standing beside her, reached out his hand to support her arm. Looking at the mayfly demon who thought he was looking at Lu Song sincerely, he couldn't help but sigh with pity and advised Jianchou, "Big sister, stay calm."
