Seeing the huge sailing ship leaning on the port not far away, the soldiers walked down like a dive and transported countless goods to the ground, piling them up like mountains.
Ye Ming asked curiously: "Didn't you say that Xihai is nothing? Where did these goods come from?"
Jiang Xue took a look and said: "I heard my father mention that there are many islands in the depths of the West Sea and rich products. It is actually more prosperous than the East Sea. However, people in the West Sea rarely interact with people on land, and the King of the West Sea is the only one on both sides. trade bridge.”
Ye Ming: "Trade is a normal thing. It is said that there must be monsters when things go abnormal. There must be a reason why the West Sea is so isolated."
Jiang Xue blinked: "How about we take a trip to the West Sea?"
Ye Ming shook his head repeatedly: "It's better not to go. I've been out for so long and I still have a lot of things to do. I really don't have time."
Jiang Xue just mentioned it, curled her lips and said, "Forget it if I don't go."
Ye Ming: "We have visited a lot of places along the way, and it's time for you to go back. I'll look for you after I finish what I'm doing."
Jiang Xue nodded: "It's time to go back. What you said before is right. I want to continue to practice and advance to the gods. We are both princesses, and I can do what Feng Xi can do."
Ye Mingxin said, why are you involving Feng Xi again? Is she jealous
One day at the beach, Jiang Xue said goodbye to Ye Ming early the next morning. After she revealed her identity as Princess Suzaku, she returned to the Suzaku Dynasty through the official teleportation array. As Ye Ming expected, Emperor Zhuque did not do anything to her. However, after Jiang Xue experienced the stimulation last time, she became taciturn and went into seclusion to practice in a few days.
After breaking up with Jiang Xue, Ye Ming returned to the Houtu Dynasty and began to deal with the propaganda of Haotian Sect. Although the man in white under the throne of Haotian God agreed to get rid of the biting Gu, he, as the deputy leader, must make Haotian Sect the largest sect in Tianyuan and become orthodox. Undoubtedly, this is an extremely difficult matter. After all, the five major dynasties and the four major divine lands all regard it as a heresy and want to get rid of it quickly.
Before that, he had issued an order to let the Haotian Sect secretly spread the news about the end of the world and that only the Haotian Sect could save the people. It's been a while now and I don't know how effective it is.
At the headquarters of Haotian Sect, Ye Ming and Xiaoqiang summoned all the privy councilors.
"Privy Councilors, I wonder how the situation is progressing?" Xiaoqiang asked.
Grand Privy Councilor Ye Tiannan cupped his hands and said: "Returning to the leader, the publicity in various places has been relatively smooth. At least 30% of the people now believe that the poisonous poison will appear."
Ye Ming was surprised: "Thirty percent of the people? So fast?"
Ye Tiannan said: "Back to the deputy leader, we recently discovered that in addition to our Haotian Sect, the officials of the five major dynasties also seem to be intentionally or unintentionally promoting the end of the world."
Ye Ming felt strange now. He wiped his chin and fell into deep thought.
Xiaoqiang: "Privy Ye, do you know the intentions of the five dynasties?"
"It's not clear yet," Ye Tiannan said, "But according to the information collected from each dynasty, it seems that the five dynasties will take unified actions."
Ye Ming said: "This matter is very strange. The five dynasties are obviously not helping us. They are going to take big action."
Ye Tiannan: "Deputy leader, do you want to activate our undercover senior personnel in the five dynasties?"
Ye Ming waved his hand: "No need. This matter should be revealed soon. Now you still have to continue to increase publicity and let the world know that no one can save the world except our Haotian Sect."
"Yes!" The privy councilors accepted the order and retreated one after another.
After the great privy councilors left, Xiao Qiang said: "Master, what do you think is going on?"
Ye Ming frowned, thought for a moment and said, "I'm afraid that the five dynasties have the same plan as us."
"Same plan?" Xiaoqiang was puzzled.
"Think about it, as soon as the propaganda of the end of the world comes out, the people will panic. This is obviously extremely detrimental to the rule of the five dynasties. Why do they do this?" Ye Ming asked.
Xiaoqiang scratched his head: "Yes, why?"
"This means that they have come up with a plan to get rid of the poison." Ye Ming walked slowly with his hands behind his back, "And this plan is extremely feasible."
Xiaoqiang nodded repeatedly: "That must be the case, otherwise the five great dynasties would be too stupid. The five great emperors are obviously not stupid people."
"Do you think there can be a strong man in Tianyuan Continent who can resist the Gu Devouring?" Ye Ming asked again.
Xiaoqiang shook his head: "No, the nine realms of immortality are not so easy to achieve, let alone the Lord God. Even if such a strong man does appear, he may not be willing to fight against the poison. At least I won't do that. .”
"That's right. Since no one in the human race is the opponent of Gu Eater, then they can only find inhuman strong men." Ye Ming said, "It is obviously impossible for them to invite masters from the sky. The only thing they can do is to create gods. , create a powerful god who can destroy the poison!"
Xiaoqiang was shocked: "Creating a god? But in this way, wouldn't the imperial power be diluted?"
"This is a helpless move." Ye Ming continued to analyze, "If the bite Gu is not dealt with, the five dynasties will suffer greater losses. And by doing so, they can kill two birds with one stone. Not only can they destroy the bite Gu, but they can also get rid of the control of the four sacred lands."
Xiaoqiang immediately thought of something and shouted: "Do they want to create a god who can control the will of heaven?"
Ye Ming nodded: "That's definitely the case. This is the best method. There is no other way."
"The five dynasties are taking risks." Xiaoqiang said in surprise, "Once they lose control of the gods, the five dynasties will be wiped out. In the end, Tianyuan Continent will become a pure kingdom of gods, no longer having imperial power. There are no more nobility.”
"Gods can also be controlled." Ye Ming sighed, "I think the five major dynasties are already sure of doing this. If they control the main god, it is equivalent to completely controlling Tianyuan Continent."
"The four major divine lands will certainly not sit idly by, right?" Xiao Qiang said, "You know, the reason why the divine lands are so high above others is because they control a large number of gods. Once God's will is taken away, won't the gods of the four major sacred lands have to fall from the altar? "
Ye Ming: "So the five dynasties did not dare to publicize it blatantly. I even think that they are using our publicity to do this. However, things will never be smooth sailing. The four sacred lands are not vegetarians."
Xiaoqiang: "Shentu always doesn't care about worldly affairs, but if something happens that involves core interests, they will definitely take action."
Ye Ming: "So, this time is a God-given opportunity for us. It is best to let Shentu and the five dynasties break up, so that we can have a chance."
After leaving the Haotian Sect headquarters, Ye Ming disguised himself as a tourist and began to observe the public sentiment in various places. That afternoon, he came to a remote town in the Houtu Dynasty and sat in a tea shop. The tea shop is doing a good business. There are fruits and snacks to eat, and many pedestrians are chatting here.
"Lao Hu, are you saying that the end of the world is true? Is there really an evil dragon living under our feet, and it will come out to eat us soon?" A man dressed as a hunter asked worriedly.
The man known as Lao Hu nodded and said: "Nine times out of ten, it's true. Because some time ago, I heard from my nephew who is a government official that the imperial court is also releasing news, saying that the end of the world is coming."
The faces of the people around changed greatly: "What should we do? Will we be eaten?"
"Don't worry, everyone." Lao Hu seemed to be a wise man, "The imperial court is not stupid. Since it dares to let us know the truth, it has a way to deal with it."
"Is it true, as they say, that only God Haotian can save us?" another person asked.
Lao Hu sighed: "Never mind God Haotian and Emperor Houtu, as long as they can get rid of the evil dragon, don't you think so?"
Everyone nodded: "When the time comes, we will listen to whoever can get rid of the evil dragon."
Ye Ming was very satisfied with the result, and soon arrived at the second place, Qingyun City, a city with a population of hundreds of millions.
Qingyun City is relatively prosperous, with many shops. In the central square of Qinglong City, Ye Ming unexpectedly found thousands of people gathered there, and the ground was filled with incense and candle offerings. In the middle of the square, there was a corpse, covered in bruises and disheveled clothes.
Ye Ming walked to the edge and asked an old man who was worshiping the corpse, "Old man, who is the deceased? Why do everyone worship him?"
The old man glanced at Ye Ming: "Are you passing by? He is a great hero near us. Two days ago, a demon broke into Qingyun City and killed innocent people indiscriminately. At least hundreds of people were killed, and even the city lord was killed. The government was unable to deal with it. Until this hero appeared, he single-handedly killed the demon. However, he himself also died of serious injuries and gave up his young life. "
Speaking of this, the old man shed tears: "When my whole family was almost killed by a demon, he appeared. Alas, I owe him!"
"Do you know his name?" Ye Ming admired this unknown person very much.
"We don't know his name, but before he died, he said that he was a Sky Catcher." The old man said, "The Sky Catchers are all good people. I have heard of it a long time ago."
Ye Ming sighed lightly, it turned out to be Tianqiu! He walked up to the body, bowed, and then silently withdrew.
Just then, a group of officers and soldiers arrived. They pushed the crowd rudely and cursed: "A bunch of untouchables and idiots, stop worshiping the dead and disperse!"
Some people were grateful to the deceased. When the officers and soldiers said this, they were all angry. The old man who had spoken to Ye Ming before shouted: "He is dead, but he saved us all. When demons were rampant and harmed people everywhere, Where were you? Where were you when we were crying for no way, when the heaven and earth refused to respond, and when the earth and the earth failed to work?"
An officer kicked the old man to the ground. This officer had the strength of a warrior and was extremely powerful. The old man was frail and sick. His internal organs were injured immediately and he fell to the ground. After a few convulsions, he died. The people around him became even angrier and shouted: "Why do you beat people?"
"Why? Because we are officials and you are the people! We are strong and you are weak!" The official said arrogantly, "Be honest with me or I will beat you to death one by one!" As he said, He choked, drew out his sword, and started gesticulating towards the crowd.
The people were immediately frightened and squatted on the ground, not daring to say anything. There was only one person still standing, and it was Ye Ming. With a touch of sadness on his face, he walked up to the old man and said softly: "If you don't know martial arts, why bother fighting with him? These people are like wolves and jackals. Inhumane. They don’t understand your gratitude, let alone your suffering.”
"Who are you? Squat down!" When the official saw someone showing up, he became furious and yelled at him.
