In the northwest area, in the magnificent hall.
As usual, Shang Kun sat cross-legged alone on the main seat in the center of the hall. The hall was spacious and majestic, like a dojo where gods gathered in ancient times, and there was a solemn and solemn atmosphere everywhere.
Sitting cross-legged here alone, Shang Kun often feels like he is looking down on everything in the world, as if he has transformed into a supreme god and controls the entire world.
He likes and enjoys this feeling of being in control.
Control is sometimes more terrifying than destruction, because the rise and fall of the world, the life and death of all things, and the replacement of world affairs... If you can control them all in your own hands, what else in the world can't you do
If I want you to live, not even the God of Death can seduce you away.
If you want to die, no one in heaven or on earth can save you.
This is control, and it is the ultimate goal that Shang Kun has been chasing since he was a child.
And he knew that only by entering the Xuanhuan Realm, becoming an immortal, or even a higher being, could he achieve his goal. Therefore, even though he enjoyed the supreme feeling brought to him by this hall, he did not become addicted to it and could not extricate himself. .
On the contrary, Shang Kun has always been an extremely calm person, ever since he was a child.
When he was very young, the elders of the clan praised him for being "ignorant and childish, but he has the heart to remain unchanged despite the collapse of the mountain. He is almost a perfect man."
A perfect person is a perfect existence. This shows how high this evaluation is.
Shang Kun has indeed lived up to expectations. He has performed extremely well since he was a child. Not only is his talent dazzling, his mind is as calm as snow, and his tactics are astonishing. This is why he can become the leader of the younger generation of disciples of the Luoshui Shang clan.
"Feng Jianbai, when I cultivate into a chaotic demon body, what can you do to fight me? Just wait, your number one position is destined to belong to me..." Shang Kun murmured to himself, and soon, he Taking a deep breath, discarding the distracting thoughts in his mind, he raised his hand and took out a jade slip, and began to examine it carefully again.
This jade slip records everything about Chen Xi, his origin, identity, cultivation... and even the events that happened to him, all are recorded in an orderly manner.
It was this extremely detailed information that made Shang Kun never dare to underestimate Chen Xi from the beginning. On the contrary, when he learned everything about Chen Xi, Shang Kun even admired this guy in his heart.
It is almost like a miracle that a poor man from a small and run-down family, with no family or sect, can accomplish so many earth-shattering things and still survive to this day unharmed.
Shang Kun believed that if he were Chen Xi, it would be difficult to do better than him.
"He has a tenacious temperament and is decisive in killing. His cultivation may seem average, but his combat power is astonishing. He is also low-key and secretive. No one knows how many trump cards he has until now..."
Shang Kun stroked his chin with his slender palm, and his blue eyes glowed with a cold luster, thinking thoughtfully, "People like him can easily be ignored if they don't know the basics."
Thinking of this, Shang Kun took a deep breath, suppressed the waves in his heart, and shook his head.
In fact, after he learned that Chen Xi had entered the Ancient City, he felt a little restless in his heart. He urgently wanted to abandon any reason, kill Chen Xi, and then use the two daughters Qing Xiuyi and Zhen Liuqing to practice "Xiao". "Female Brahma Skill", in order to surpass Feng Jianbai and aspire to be the first in the Martial Emperor's Battle Soul Monument.
However, the calmness he had cultivated over the years allowed him to hold back. He knew that facing an opponent like Chen Xi, if he acted impulsively, his plan might be disrupted and his efforts would fall short.
Da da da da... A burst of footsteps sounded outside the hall, which made Shang Kun wake up from his thoughts and regain his extremely calm appearance.
"Young Master, something bad happened!" The person who came was Shang Ping. He took a deep breath, suppressed the shock in his heart, and said with fists. He knew that in front of the Young Master, he must not mess up his position, otherwise he would definitely be attacked. The prince's disgust and rejection.
"Say." Shang Kun said casually, with a calm and unhurried demeanor.
"The spies just came to report that Chen Xi and the five members of the Great Chu Dynasty have all ranked among the top twenty to enter the Martial Emperor's Battle Soul Monument!" Although Shang Ping tried to calm himself down, there was still a tremor in his voice, Obviously, this incident caused a great shock to him.
"Oh?" Shang Kun was startled and suddenly smiled, "The Chu Dynasty has very strong luck. Is this why you came to me?"
"Master, this is not the point." Seeing this, Shang Ping became anxious and said quickly, "You asked us to pay special attention to Chen Xi, he... he..."
Shang Kun frowned and said displeasedly: "If you have anything to say, just say it!"
There was a hint of something bad in his heart. He knew Shang Ping very well. Unless he encountered something extremely shocking, he would never behave like this.
"Chen Xi has reached the first place!" Shang Ping could no longer hold back his shock and uttered hoarsely. After saying these words, it was as if all his strength had been drained from his body, and he began to gasp for breath.
"First place?" Shang Kun was stunned and remained silent for a long time before he still didn't believe it. "Is it... the first place in the Martial Emperor's Battle Soul Monument?"
In fact, he had already judged that they were close from Shang Ping's expression, but it was so shocking that when he first heard it, it almost made him lose his mind, and even the calmness that he was proud of was almost lost. collapsed.
Shang Ping nodded, his expression changing. Thinking of the scene he saw before, he still couldn't help but feel a sense of shock that couldn't be shaken off.
"So, as soon as Chen Xi stepped into the ancient city, he pushed Feng Jianbai out of the first place?" Shang Kun murmured to himself, but he didn't realize that there was also a trace of it in his voice. Shock, a hint of loss, no longer as calm as before.
Defeating Feng Jianbai on the Martial Emperor's Battle Soul Monument has always been Shang Kun's goal. In order to achieve this goal, he did not hesitate to capture Qing Xiuyi and Zhen Liuqing in order to cultivate a chaotic demon body and then compete with Feng Jianbai. .
It is precisely in order to achieve this goal that he pays special attention to Chen Xi, hoping to fully grasp his details and then kill him so that he can complete the final step of cultivating the chaotic demon body.
However, now, this goal was achieved first by a young man whom he wanted to kill. This strong impact, like a stormy sea, severely impacted Shang Kun's mind, making him unable to calm down for a long time.
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became dull and depressing.
Shang Ping looked at his young master carefully, and secretly sighed in his heart. Even a figure like the young master was so shocked that he almost lost his mind. This Chen Xi... can be proud of!
"I didn't expect that I still underestimated him." Shang Kun laughed at himself, then took a deep breath, forced himself to suppress the irritability in his heart, his eyes became extremely calm, and asked, "Chen Xi has so many enemies. , his appearance in front of the Martial Emperor’s War Soul Monument didn’t cause a fight?”
"No." Shang Ping shook his head and said with a complicated expression: "After Chen Xi won the first place, he attracted the attention of the Han Dynasty and the Huaiyin Xue family. Perhaps, his enemies were afraid of this, so they delayed Don’t dare to take action.”
"Han Dynasty, Huaiyin Xue Family?" Shang Kun narrowed his eyes slightly, with a hint of solemnity in his voice, "Did he agree?"
"No." Shang Ping shook his head again.
However, before Shang Kun could relax, Shang Ping continued, "Although neither the Han Dynasty nor the Huaiyin Xue clan succeeded, Chen Xi and his party left with Ling Ze of the Tang Dynasty. It is not difficult to imagine that they must He has joined the Tang Dynasty’s camp.”
"Trouble." Shang Kun sighed softly, but there was not much solemnity in his expression. Although the situation exceeded his prediction, he was confident that he was still able to control everything.
Shang Ping couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the young master was not in trouble. To be honest, facing an enemy like Chen Xi, he would not provoke him unless he had to.
"Sir, something bad has happened!" At this moment, a rapid cry suddenly came from outside the hall, with a hint of panic in the solemn tone.
Immediately, Shang Que rushed into the hall like a gust of wind. Even though he tried hard to calm down, the panic in his expression could not be concealed.
"You bastard! What a shame for shouting!" Shang Kun couldn't help but shouted coldly. After hearing that Chen Xi had won the first place in the Martial Emperor's Battle Soul Monument, he tried to suppress the restless emotions in his heart. When he saw that Shang Que, whom he relied on as his right-hand man, was so rude, he couldn't help but feel angry.
Shang Que trembled all over and finally regained some consciousness. He immediately clasped his fists bitterly and said, "Sir, something really bad has happened. Chen Xi actually killed more than a dozen powerful men from Daxuan, Dajin, and Daqin all by himself. , take over the northeastern area of the Ancient City as your own!"
"What!" Hearing this, Shang Kun's expression suddenly changed, and a turmoil arose in his heart. He could no longer keep his mind calm, and murmured, "How could this happen? Is this guy really so strong?"
Shang Ping, who was next to him, was also shocked. He was alone and killed the strong men of the three first-class dynasties. Is this... something that an ordinary child of the dynasty can do
"Sir, this is absolutely true. Many monks have witnessed this scene, and..." Shang Que hesitated, his expression changing.
"And what, you're telling me!" Shang Kun was furious. What happened to his men today? Each one of them seemed to be strangled by the neck, and they kept losing their temper. It was really useless.
"And Chen Xi said that if the young master dares to practice martial arts with those two women, he will kill all the members of the Shang clan in Luoshui, and no one will be spared..." Shang Que gritted his teeth and said the matter.
boom!
Shang Kun hit the ground with his palm, and the rock was shattered, creating a huge deep hole. His face had turned livid, and his red hair was flying, making him look like an angry god.
"How dare you threaten me... How dare you threaten me..." While muttering to himself, Shang Kun suddenly turned around and strode towards the main hall. He had decided to use Qing Xiuyi and Zhen Liuqing to practice magic skills, even if There are huge risks, and he doesn't hesitate!
