Lu Bei's hand trembled, and the letter in his hand was burned. Zhu Xiushi and Zhao Wuyou took a peek but to no avail, only seeing ashes floating in the air.
"Is King Yuanji real?"
"How dare you make fun of that person."
"Your Gu family has a natural born Buddhist. If he takes action, even that person will have to give him some respect." Lu Bei raised his eyebrows, suspecting that Xiong Chu seemed aggrieved on the surface, but was secretly happy in his heart.
Because of the existence of dragon veins and good fortune, the royal families of various countries in the world of immortal cultivation not only produce many playboys, but also frequently give birth to talented practitioners.
For example, Jiang Suxin and Gu Zongchen, they are both top figures who dominate the world and are the pride of their clans.
Even though Jiang Suxin and the Jiang royal family broke up and the two sides could hardly coexist, the royal family still respected her very much. This can be seen from the attitudes of Jiang He, Jiang Li and others.
Because of the existence of these geniuses, the royal orthodoxy has been able to continue for thousands of years. Whenever the royal family is in trouble, there are always one or two people who will stand up.
Therefore, in the world of immortal cultivation, the royal families of various countries are not just superficial central orthodoxy; they have unparalleled influence in their respective countries.
Queen Ji of Great Xia was ambitious and wanted to unify all countries for her own use. When Zhao Qin was in internal strife, she provided manpower and magic weapons to support the royal family against Prince Yan Jiang Suxin.
At first Lu Bei didn't understand. He was curious whether Emperor Ji chose the royal family instead of Jiang Suxin because he was jealous of Jiang Suxin's talent and qualifications.
Later, it was discovered that Emperor Ji's strength was unfathomable, and Jiang Suxin, as a Xuanwu, was not qualified to compete with him.
Because Yinglong invested in Jiang Suxin in advance, Emperor Ji could only choose the Jiang royal family.
Now, this trick of driving away wolves and tigers has come to Xiongchu and Xuanlong.
Why choose the powerful Chu? The reason is very simple. If not the powerful Chu, would we choose Wu Zhou and Qi Yan
It's so funny. What kind of people are these two brothers? Are they worthy of snatching the position of the leader of Xuanlong
Because of Xuanlong's geographical location, the whole country is fighting against the demon clan. They only obey orders from the Daxia Holy Land and always regard it as an ATM and a sucker.
The stones in the pit are smelly and hard.
The holy land held an event, calling on young talents from all over the world to gather together. Xuan Long did a perfunctory job and sent a few small fry over to show his respect.
The holy land distributed money and organized Wu Zhou, Xiong Chu, Qi Yan to donate to Xuan Long, but Xuan Long ran faster than anyone else.
The key point is that he took the money without even saying thank you, which has always displeased Emperor Ji.
Xiong Chu has broken the curse of his bloodline, and his future is limitless. His value as a tool increases, and he immediately becomes a popular commodity in the eyes of Emperor Ji. Emperor Ji instructs Xiong Chu to go ahead and do it boldly, and guarantees the international status of the human race as a great power.
This is a godsend opportunity for Xiong Chu, there is no reason and no way to refuse it.
But to be fair, in Lu Bei's opinion, Xiong Chu's foundation is still a little lacking. It is more than enough to bully Wu Zhou, but it is not strong enough to fight Xuan Long...
It is likely to trigger a copy of the capital defense battle.
Emperor Ji's move was somewhat hasty. He should give Xiong Chu a few hundred years to settle down.
Thinking of this, Lu Bei raised his eyebrows, remembering Yinglong said that it would not be long before the heaven would prove that following the will of heaven was the most correct decision in his life.
Emperor Ji doesn't have much time left, so he is in a hurry to achieve success
Lu Bei didn't quite understand, so he decided to ask Yinglong for advice. If this was true, he wouldn't mind acting on behalf of heaven once again and causing some trouble for Emperor Ji who was far away in Da Xia.
To get back to the point, Lu Bei's idea was very simple. Xiong Chu was eager to expand its territory, which infringed on the fundamental interests of Wu Zhou and Xuan Long.
Among them, Emperor Ji secretly instructed, but Xiong Chu himself also had bad intentions.
Selecting the best heir was simply an excuse; the ultimate goal was to take the opportunity to expand territory under the banner of Emperor Ji.
It's not a good thing if it snaps together.
Otherwise, Xiong Chu really wanted to refuse and ask Gu Zongchen to come out and give him a big beating, even Emperor Ji would think carefully and reconsider it.
"I understand what Sect Master Lu means. I can only say that Xiong Chu was caught in a dilemma and had no choice but to go with the flow." King Yuanji looked depressed.
Come on, you are obviously laughing!
Lu Bei didn't believe this, and nodded, "Since Xiong Chu has his own difficulties, this sect leader won't add fuel to the fire. I still say that the Tianjian Sect was established in Wu Zhou. If Wu Zhou is in chaos, I, as the sect leader of the Tianjian Sect, will definitely follow suit."
"Master Lu, don't worry. Xiong Chu will handle the twenty-three countries in the north and the countries bordering Wu Zhou with caution." King Yuanji made a promise. He did not dare to disturb Lu Bei, who was hugging people left and right. After exchanging a few words of greeting, he turned around and left.
A whimpering sound was heard, and Lu Bei turned his head to look. Zhao Wuyou felt ashamed of the responsibility he shouldered. As a diplomat, he failed to protect the country from the suffering of war. In grief and anger, he wanted to commit suicide by jumping into the lake.
Lu Bei ignored her. The play was too fake. How could someone be drowned in the fusion stage
This jump will at most get you wet, it's still a routine after all.
Plop!
Zhu Xiushi was very satisfied with the outcome of the negotiations between Lu Bei and King Yuanji. He was so happy that he cast another sealing spell on him.
Although verbal agreements are not valid, the sentence "Tianjian Sect was established in Wu Zhou" shows her attitude. She will not care about the slap that offended Emperor Zhou just now.
Lu Bei ignored her, frowned and broke free from the seal, asking Zhu Xiushi to pull Zhao Wuyou out. He had other things to do and would not accompany the two back to Wu Zhou.
Deep mountains and old forests.
The black-winged golden-eyed eagle fell from the sky and landed steadily on Lu Bei's shoulder. The latter sensed the soul of his clone, activated the Xuanwu Ring, and projected his soul onto the stele forest.
In the strange space, billions of stone tablets were broken. After a while, Lu Bei waited for Yinglong.
"Xuanwu, what do you want from me?" The paper man floated in the air, his empty eyes glowing with a creepy light.
It looked a bit dull and mechanical. Lu Bei guessed that the paper man was just a clone of Yinglong's soul. He explained the situation of Xiongchu and Xuanlong with a serious face, and said loyally: "Brother Yinglong, the thief Ji has made a deliberate plan. I think this matter has a future, and I want to give him a new job. What do you think?"
The paper man did not respond and paused for a few seconds. The dullness disappeared and the vivid paper man became full of vitality, and burst into hearty laughter as soon as he appeared.
"Hehehehe—" x2
The atmosphere had reached this point, and it would be difficult to end it without cooperation, so Lu Bei gritted his teeth and laughed along.
The paper figure floated in the air and said with interest: "Whether it is Xiong Chu or Xuan Long, neither of them can change the overall situation. Ji Chang's vision is not so low. It should be Qinglong who is in charge of the overall situation."
"unimportant?"
“It’s important, but it’s not important either.”
The paper figurine looked at Lu Bei and said, "Alright, you are the new Xuanwu, so you should fight with Qinglong. It's up to you to do whatever you want. As long as Qinglong's plan fails, you will have successfully completed your mission."
Lu Bei nodded. He didn't cause any trouble for Emperor Ji, but he made Qinglong unhappy, which was also a good thing.
"By the way, how are the arrangements for your subordinates' stars?"
"We are working on it. We are working on it."
"How far have you come?"
"I have memorized all the names of the stars, a total of seven, and can recite them by heart." Lu Bei puffed out his chest proudly and raised his eyebrows at the paper man, indicating that he should praise him quickly.
No praise, it's okay to throw a personal Wang Ding-level magic weapon.
The paper figure paused in mid-air, returning to its original dull and mechanical state. For Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, and Yinglong, it was the will of the original body that descended. Only for the newly appointed Xuanwu, the clone had to confirm it first, and then the original body could consider whether to pay attention to it.
“Brother?!”
"Brother, say something!"
"Xuanwu..."
The paper man spoke stiffly, in order to prevent Lu Bei from causing trouble. If he failed to disrupt the situation, he would help Qinglong complete his layout. In the near future, he would order people to send the information about Xuanlong and Xiongchu to the Dengtianmen branch in Yuezhou, Wuzhou.
The information will be updated twice a day, so Lu Bei should not miss the opportunity.
After saying this, everything turned to ashes.
—
The Western Demon Realm, Yingtian City.
Yinglong has not updated the information yet, and he cannot be contacted no matter how hard he tries. Lu Bei feels like he is being targeted. He first teleports to the Liluan Palace, abducts the two palace masters and brings them to the Fuyao Palace. Then he teleports again and arrives at the territory of Xu Ri Shu Nibi.
The Xiyou Demon Territory is a gathering place for demons south of the Kunlun Mountains. It has not established a country, but is centered around four main cities. The city lord is in a high position and has power over life and death in the entire city. The city lord's words are the most important law of nature.
Because it is very close to the Far West, there is no shortage of demon cultivators in the Western Demon Realm. According to fashion trends, you can see demon cultivator ladies wearing wings on the streets.
The tight financial situation does not allow the young ladies to be reserved, so they do not have outer clothes.
Lu Bei has a bird-like face, and he has no sense of incongruity in the city. His realm is suppressed to the early stage of fusion, a realm that is not as good as the best but better than the worst, and is the easiest to be beaten.
In case the local people are simple and honest, and the monsters are all bullied, if they suffer a loss, it will only be 30 years before they get over it, Lu Bei also took the step of not recognizing his relatives.
Look, his swaying shoulders, swinging arms, and those arrogant nostrils immediately made him the most beautiful bird on the street.
To Lu Bei's surprise, even though he was so arrogant, not only did no demon stand up to fight him, but there were also demon girls and witches who kept flirting with him and wanted to have in-depth communication with him.
Forget about the witch, her realm is low, and there are not many who can transform into human form. They are either half-orcs or beasts.
The witches are all dressed up gorgeously, but judging from their clothes, you can tell that they are all people with special skills. They are so eager to achieve perfection that they often break the moral bottom line and walk on the edge of the law.
If he got too close to them, Lu Bei was afraid that his fellow Taoists would line up from Yingtian City to the gate of the Hehuan Sect in the far west.
"Don't look at that ugly guy. I'm talking about you. You're the ugliest person on the whole street. You don't have any self-awareness at all."
Lu Bei stopped in front of the meat stall and said to the pig-headed man in a haughty manner, "How are you going to the City Lord's Mansion? I have something important to do. If you delay me, I will punish you."
The pig-headed man looked confused. The gate of the city lord's mansion was just opposite and he could see it when he turned around.
Judging from the birdman's words, they should be public officials from other cities. He didn't dare to offend them, so he raised his hand to point the direction.
Lu Bei looked at them with his nose squinted, nodded and said, "This is my first time meeting the two city lords, so I can't go empty-handed. I'll give you a chance to make a name for yourself and offer you ten kilograms of pork."
"My lord, this is a beef stall." The pig-headed man secretly thought it was bad luck, and based on the principle that harmony brings wealth, he did not want to argue with the bird man.
Besides, he couldn't beat him.
"Why so much nonsense? Today is your day to become famous."
Lu Bei snorted, "I need ten pounds of lean meat to make the sauce. I don't want any fat on it!"
