Before, he was always worried that his failure would be exposed and would damage the reputation of the elders of the Immortal Sect.
After all, it would be too embarrassing to say that a Nascent Soul Elder who had lived for more than a thousand years had fallen into the hands of a mortal who was not even a fraction of his age.
But now the truth cannot be hidden anymore, and he has to tell the head of the sect about it. Then he has to change his story and try to exaggerate it as much as possible.
In short, he just can't lose to mortals.
What if I lose
If you lose, it means that the other party is not an ordinary person at all!
Elder Qingzhuo said solemnly: "The martial artists of Jiuzhou in the past few decades are indeed different from those of forty years ago. There was the Martial Saint in front and the Qiao family in the back. They are not easy to deal with."
Elder Qingzhuo is really qualified to say this. After all, forty years ago, the world's number one sword exiled immortal was defeated by him.
But when his words fell into the ears of the headmaster, the headmaster just looked at him quietly, his eyes as silent as the abyss.
"What you said is not entirely unreasonable." The headmaster said calmly:
"The Qiao family among mortals is well-known for protecting their own shortcomings. If one Qiao family member is killed, another will soon come after hearing the news. It seems that there is no end to them."
This behavior pattern is actually a bit like the top forces such as the Nine Immortal Sects.
But the thing is... the Qiao family members practice martial arts, they are just mortals.
"Logically speaking, the Qiao family's warriors can even kill Jindan disciples, so next, we should send Jindan-stage deacons and guardians, or even Yuanying elders, to wipe out the roots and kill all the Qiao family members who have delusions." The head of the Da Dao Sect pondered:
"But this is... too slow."
Since he is the head of the immortal sect, why should he play by the rules
"Just find the Qiao family's lair, Xiake Island, and uproot their entire family. This will be faster." The head of the Dadao Sect said calmly:
"Overseas Knight Island... Then let's go to Haizhou in the southeast, find the source of the Qiao family, and wipe them out completely!"
Haizhou, also known as Southeast Prefecture.
As we all know, Kyushu is the general name for nine states.
Since there are Zhongzhou and Nanzhou... then it is easy to conclude that the remaining seven states are Dongzhou, Beizhou, Xizhou, plus Southeastern Zhou, Southwestern Zhou, Northeastern Zhou, and Northwestern Zhou, which is very reasonable.
"Brother Head Master is really thoughtful and has a broad vision." Elder Qingzhuo nodded and smiled.
In front of the headmaster, he felt a little guilty and lowered his posture because his foundation in Taoism was damaged and he had committed crimes many times.
However, the more guilty Elder Qingzhuo felt, the more he felt that the master was staring at him with a stern gaze.
"Brother Headmaster, do you mean... that I should go?" Elder Qingzhuo asked after realizing it belatedly.
"If you don't go, who will?" The headmaster snorted coldly, his face darkened:
"You've done so many good things, and you still have the nerve to continue to stay in seclusion in the cave at the mountain gate?"
Elder Qingzhuo's face turned slightly pale and he remained silent.
"The immortal sect of Southeast Province is Yanshen Dao, which is good at deduction." The headmaster said calmly:
"I only know there is an island of knights, but I don't know its exact location. I can't just search blindly like a headless fly, right? I have to deal with some monks of Yanshen Dao at least."
"After all, you are an elder of my sect. Since you are going to Southeast Province, you are naturally representing my Dao Sect..."
The matter of the Qiao family ends here. There is also a Martial Saint who concerns the head master.
"The Martial Saint died at the hands of the elders of Xuantian Sect a long time ago. How come another Martial Saint can appear here?" The head sect leader frowned, feeling it was very strange.
A few years ago.
This world is still dominated by immortal cultivators. Even in the so-called "War of Aliens" when the Great Yan Dynasty's fortunes declined, not many immortal cultivators died in the battle. How come a Martial Saint and then a member of the Qiao family came here now
This was too sudden. It was only a few decades, or half a mortal's lifetime...
If the deaths of the two Jindan cultivators were not faked, the headmaster himself would not have believed it.
“Could it be that the fellow Taoists from Xuantian Sect are behind this? The Martial Saint was killed by their people, and now that the Martial Saint has jumped out again, there must be something fishy going on.” The first person the headmaster thought of was the Xuantian Sect.
The greatest enemy of immortal cultivators in this world is each other, and the greatest enemy of the Da Dao Sect is naturally other immortal sects.
Instead of believing that ordinary people can suddenly defeat immortals with martial arts, it is better to think carefully about whether there are other immortal sects behind this.
You know, Xuantian Sect has always been bold and reckless. Previously, they almost forced Emperor Yonghe to worship the gods, but ended up forcing out a Human King Sword... .
If the people of Xuantian Sect were not convinced and did something secretly to ruin the great cause of Dadao Sect, then it would make sense.
“Qingzhuo, tell me in detail, what is the background of the Martial Saint who was able to kill your Nascent Soul Dharmakaya…” the head of the Da Dao Sect suddenly said.
"This man is indeed unlike those mortal warriors who only know how to use their fists and feet. He is very strange." Elder Qingzhuo recalled:
"The methods used by the Martial Saint are very different from the martial arts that ordinary people talk about. I doubt whether they can be called martial arts..."
“Perhaps this so-called Martial Saint is just a cover.” Elder Qingzhuo thought and whispered:
"Perhaps, he is the 'Southern King' supported by Xuantian Sect?"
The immortal inheritance of the nine major immortal sects has its own emphasis, and the immortal magic of the Da Dao Sect is known for its method of refining Taoist soldiers. Among them, the top Taoist soldier refining method is "Dou Po Cangqiong".
Therefore, the King of Wu supported by the Da Dao Sect is the golden-bodied Taoist soldier, King Qin Shiqing.
The King of Qin looks like a human, but he is actually a thorough creation of the immortal way, so he can completely crush ordinary spiritual warriors.
The specific backgrounds of the so-called "King of Martial Arts" of the other eight immortal sects are still unknown to the head of the Da Dao Sect.
But the King of Wu must not be an ordinary warrior. He just has to have the appearance of a warrior to win the trust of the people. Just like the King of Qin, he took up the banner of martial arts to establish a fairyland on earth and seek for a great cause.
"If this Martial Saint really has only human form as you said, he must be different from ordinary people on the inside. He may indeed be the so-called 'Southern King'." The head teacher also nodded slightly.
Seeing the headmaster's reaction, Taoist Qingzhuo felt a little relieved.
You can lose the battle but not the people.
Back then, when he was in the Hundred Miles Desert, his real body was injured by the joint efforts of the Qiao family and the Exiled Sword Immortal. It could be said that he suffered a loss due to his carelessness. He thought that if he could do it again, he would be able to make the Exiled Sword Immortal and the Qiao family die cleanly.
But when his Nascent Soul Dharma Body died at the hands of the Martial Saint, he had learned from the previous experience and was not careless.
But... if the Martial Saint is actually the Martial King of the Immortal Sect, then the matter is another matter.
Losing to the so-called King of Martial Arts is essentially losing to the conspiracy of Xuantian Sect and losing to other immortal sects that can compete with Dadao Sect.
Even though the Xuantian Sect was suppressed by the other eight major sects after Emperor Yonghe's worship of gods, it was still a behemoth.
As cultivators, we have wins and losses, isn't that normal...
When you think about it this way, things start to make more sense.
“But this matter is ultimately a loss of face, and we cannot let it go…” The expression of the Da Dao Sect’s leader turned cold.
He had made arrangements to deal with the Qiao family and the Martial Saint.
But something happened in the capital city of Daqin, the King of Qin died, and a number of cultivators were killed. The truth of all this has been exposed to the believers in Zhongzhou, and the plan of the fairyland on earth has basically failed.
"Forty years is still too short." The head of the Da Dao Sect said softly:
"It was so short that many mortals have already changed generations. The new generation has forgotten the war, and there are fools in this world who are trying to shake a tree with the strength of an ant."
"Then the next step... is naturally to make these mortals remember it well."
Regardless of whether there are other immortal sects behind the Martial Saint or the Qiao family, since they are enemies of the Da Dao Sect, the outcome is bound to be to wipe out the roots.
The grand plan for the fairyland on earth was a plan prepared by the Da Dao Sect as it prepared to retreat behind the scenes.
Now that this grand plan has been ruined, the Da Dao Sect will naturally have to step back into the spotlight, just like they did during the Alien War forty years ago.
..
Outside the city of Daqin, in an uninhabited forest.
"You lost the Qiao family?"
The Martial Saint walked towards Wu Qiankun step by step with the gait of a dragon and a tiger. The joints all over his body made crackling sounds, and as he got closer, his body size also grew.
By the time he walked in front of Wu Qiankun, he was already more than three meters tall and as tall as an iron tower.
The Martial Saint looked down at Wu Qiankun from above with an expressionless face.
Wu Qiankun didn't say anything, his face turned slightly blue.
The Wu Ji Hui's arsenal includes martial arts from all over the world, and naturally there is no shortage of the witnessing techniques of martial artists who have cultivated their spirits.
The Martial Saint simply watched without using any secret method, but Wu Qiankun broke out in sweat on his forehead. He felt as if he was facing a mountain, almost suffocating.
After a long time, he saw a slight arc on the corner of Martial Saint's mouth, as if he was smiling
“You’re quite courageous, but this won’t happen again. I can’t let my important work get in the way for blood food.” The Martial Saint said coldly.
He was willing to pass on the Taotie Swallowing Heaven Skill to Wu Qiankun, so naturally he would not shy away from this.
Although Wu Qiankun's actions seemed to be a mistake, in the eyes of Martial Saint, it was not a bad thing, and even made him feel a little happy.
Wu Qiankun is the strongest and most like a Martial Saint among the three thousand disciples.
Well, since he and the Martial Saint are of the same kind, how could he be willing to be the Martial Saint's yes-man
On the contrary, this makes the Martial Saint feel more gratified.
Having fangs is a good thing.
There are all kinds of people under the tutelage of the Martial Saint, except the weak, because the weak have long since become food for the strong.
"Inside the Wu Ji Association, you are called the 'Little Martial Saint'. Let's see if you can help me become the 'Great Qiankun' one day in the future." The Martial Saint said slowly.
If Wu Qiankun was a mediocre person, how could he let him take charge of the Wu Ji Society
"Godfather, you're joking." Wu Qiankun's heart trembled.
He also knew that the matter was over, and continued:
"The Qiao family is actually very easy to find. The people in this family like to meddle in other people's business and often cause trouble. It's not difficult to find the Qiao family again. Just go to the center of the storm and wait for them."
"This is a trivial matter. Our biggest enemy is the immortal sect, not the warriors." The Martial Saint nodded lightly.
During the past forty years, the Martial Saint has been hunting down martial artists who have cultivated their spirits and martial artists of super quality, and has also been trying to cultivate super-quality martial artists.
But now that he has mastered the Taotie Swallowing Heaven Art and tasted the Nascent Soul Dharma Body, his vision will naturally not be limited to the mortal world.
Therefore, although the warriors of the Qiao family are strong, they are not the focus of the Martial Saint and the Martial Arts Association.
What the Martial Saint has to do is very simple. It is essentially the same as what he has done in the past forty years, except that the goal has changed.
"It's time to hunt down the immortal cultivators." He whispered.
Whether it is him, Wu Qiankun or others, they all need the flesh, blood, and soul of cultivators in order to make a breakthrough.
An army of mortals can easily kill a martial artist who has mastered the art of spiritual cultivation, and a super-class martial artist can also be killed, but they are helpless against a cultivator who can fly and escape underground - the Martial Saint understood this principle forty years ago.
In fact, the monks of the Da Dao Sect can turn beans into soldiers and understand human wave tactics better than the Great Yan Dynasty. The Martial Saint has suffered losses before.
Therefore, the second alien war forty years later will not be a battle on the battlefield with hundreds of thousands of people, but a fight between hunters and prey hidden in the deep forest.
...
The imperial capital, the imperial study of the Dayan Palace.
Emperor Yonghe overturned the memorials that were piled up like a mountain on the long table and scattered them all over the floor.
He raised his head and looked at the glowing Human King Sword hanging on the wall, feeling confused.
The King of Qin is actually a Taoist soldier of the Immortal Sect... A few more members of the Qiao family died, but they really succeeded in defeating the immortals with martial arts, and were able to rival the Taoist monks with their own strength, and even scared away the Nascent Soul elders
When did such an absurdly strong warrior appear in this world
Emperor Yonghe was very confused. The Great Qin Palace was clearly in Zhongzhou, but he knew very little about such a big event. He didn't know the plan of the Great Dao Sect, nor did he understand where the martial arts masters of the Qiao family came from...
"Sometimes I am a little envious. I envy the Qiao family for being able to do whatever they want."
"But as the Emperor of Great Yan, I shoulder the weight of the Great Yan country and the people of the world, so I always have to put the overall situation first, but this time..." Emperor Yonghe shook his head:
“Too fast.”
"I am not ready yet, and Da Yan is not ready to start another war. It is not the right time yet."
Feiyu Wei Chu Xing stood quietly at the door of the imperial study, watching his heart with his eyes and nose as usual.
However, at this moment, a rather rebellious thought flashed through his mind:
"Your Majesty always says that we should wait a little longer. We should not act rashly in the interests of the country and the people. We should wait for a good opportunity before starting a rebellion. But is there really a time in this world when we are fully prepared?"
Chapter 258: Emperor Yonghe's reliance, the foundation of the Great Yan royal family (5k
