Tome of Troubled Times

Chapter 467: I am a two-faced old man

No matter how much Sisi's chest hurt, Lei Zhentang's balls hurt more.

Obviously, they were the strongest force in the area and had the strongest individual military force, but they were defeated and beaten by these people and they didn't even have any effect at all.

After all this time, do we really have to vote with them

The spirit race was here before, but they didn’t have any outstanding performance and were very low-key. Since when did they become so annoying... Since that Si Laoye jumped out inexplicably

If we were to put it in context, we should say that things have become a little weird since Wang Daozhong entered Miao territory.

Lei Zhentang took a deep breath and said coldly, "What Saint Xiang meant is that we are rebelling against the Xia people, but we can't kill them?"

Sisi asked, "Has Chief Lei ever counted how many Xia people there are in Miao territory?"

Lei Zhentang said calmly: "It is impossible to count, but based on a rough estimate from various places, it is around 20%."

Sisi asked, "So Chief Lei wants to massacre 20% of the population? Are you sure you're not crazy?"

"How else can we do this? How much less massacre did Xia Longyuan commit against us in Miaojiang?" Lei Zhentang sneered, "Are we going to allow so many Xia people to stab us in the back and leak our military intelligence at any time?"

Sisi said, "Many of the Xia people here have changed into local clothes and followed local customs. If they want to kill someone, they will all change their clothes. How can Chief Lei determine who are the Xia people? Searching every household will make everyone feel insecure."

I'm afraid that killing the Xia people is just an excuse, and the real purpose is to control other tribes through this. Dao Qingfeng and Pan Wan immediately reacted and sneered, "Lei clan leader has a good plan."

Lei Zhentang said angrily: "A woman like that is not worth having a say in!"

The Yi tribe leader nearby tried to smooth things over: "Either way, expel them, or kill those who resist."

As far as expulsion was concerned, Dao Qingfeng, Pan Wan and the others had no objection. They had absolutely no good feelings towards the Xia people, so this "Rebel Alliance" had a basis for establishment, and Sisi could not change their thinking on this point.

But precisely because of this, they would not consider accepting and protecting the Xia people. In this turmoil, perhaps only her spirit race was willing to accept and protect the innocent Xia people.

Yue Hongling was standing behind him, his mind trembling slightly, as if his enlightenment on the sword was touched.

Suddenly, she felt that her chivalrous act with a sword was inferior to Zhao Changhe's... She had been a chivalrous person all her life, but perhaps she had not saved even a fraction of the number of people Zhao Changhe had saved this time.

This is the power of turning the tide.

Lei Zhentang was saying, "Since this is the case, everyone should be careful and not say one thing in front of others and another behind their backs."

As he said this, he glanced at Sisi, who smiled as bright as a flower.

Lei Zhentang asked: "If Bashu sends troops to suppress us, how will we respond?"

Sisi did not argue with him at this moment, and said with a smile: "Like the Northern Hu grassland, of course, we need the strongest tribe as the leader to coordinate the resistance. I support Chief Lei in this matter."

Lei Zhentang was so moved that he said, "It's really not easy for you!"

As long as we can have the military leadership and command, we can achieve great things in the future. What's the use of this broken joint meeting

In fact, this is Lei Zhentang's most core demand, and there is no way to argue about it. If they continue to argue, the so-called coalition will fall apart and a war between all ethnic groups will start immediately. Sisi's first priority at the moment is to protect this huge number of Xia people, and everything else can be discussed later.

Dao Qingfeng looked unhappy, but he also knew that Lian Sisi was no match for him, so he could not argue, so he had to suppress it and said, "If we defeat the Xia people, how will the Miao region govern itself in the future? We can discuss a charter first."

That means that if you, Lei Zhentang, want to be king, that is impossible.

Lei Zhentang felt relieved and said, "Things haven't come to that point yet. We will have more meetings than just this one. We can talk about it later."

As they were talking, Shi Wuding came walking on the water and went straight into the pavilion.

Lei Zhentang glanced at him unhappily. You just came now, the opportunity has already been lost... But Shi Wuding was very powerful, so he couldn't get angry. He said in a gloomy tone, "We have discussed the most important things in today's gathering. Let the elders of my clan and you discuss the remaining details slowly. My clan has important matters to attend to, so I will take my leave now."

Shi Wuding had just rushed here, but he was about to leave. His expression was quite obvious. Shi Wuding had no expression on his face and said, "Then go back. I also have something to ask you in private."

Lei Zhentang glanced at him and left Haixin Pavilion with a few followers. Shi Wuding followed him and left so far that he could no longer see what Sisi and the others were talking about. He then said, "Lei Patriarch, I need your cooperation with something."

Lei Zhentang asked, "Why, Brother Shi can't capture Wang Daozhong?"

Shi Wuding said slowly, "It is true that he cannot be captured. When I challenged Wang Daozhong that day, I underestimated him and thought I could capture him alive... Now that we have fought several times, I naturally know that it is not that easy. Killing him is still possible, but capturing him alive is almost impossible. So, Chief Lei, can you help me a little? First, help find Wang Daozhong's whereabouts, and second, provide some manpower to help besiege him when we find him."

Lei Zhentang said: "There are many disciples in Jianlu, why do you want us to find them?"

"The disciples of Jianlu can still besiege us, but how can we find someone better than Chief Lei?" Shi Wuding stared at him closely and said slowly, "Does Chief Lei mean that he is unwilling to cooperate?"

Lei Zhentang said: "Brother Shi, it doesn't seem like a very urgent matter for you to find Wang Daozhong. There are so many things going on in Miao Territory right now. If we waste our energy here, it would be a bit counterproductive. Let's put it this way. We also have to search for the Xia people in the country and expel them. Wang Daozhong is naturally a Xia person and is also among them. Once we find anything, I will definitely inform Brother Shi. How about that?" Lei Zhentang's words were truthful, but Shi Wuding hadn't listened to the meeting just now. To his ears, these words were tantamount to shirking responsibility.

His expression finally began to become fierce: "Lei clan leader, why don't you tell me clearly whether the core meaning of the so-called sword slave method exists?"

Lei Zhentang was stunned: "How did you get that from... Brother Shi has personally conducted countless experiments on Miao people. Isn't it true that he can use sword energy to control others, replace the effects of Gu magic, and share the sword intent of the sword slave for his own use, turning it into nutrients for his own swordsmanship?"

"But the sword power they gained is extremely vague. It's said to be shared, but it's actually a blur, because their soul essence has been replaced by sword energy, and they have nothing of their own! What I want is to improve the sword, not a group of sword slaves! You said there is another core method to preserve their soul consciousness, where is it? I have been in Miaojiang for quite some time, and there is no decent swordsman in Miaojiang. Who can have such a profound method?"

Lei Zhentang said: "The sword slave method was obtained by Miaojiang, and its core essence can only be here. We have not unified Miaojiang, so naturally many things cannot be found. When the time comes for a hundred responses, it will not be difficult to ask them to hand over their secret books. I understand Brother Shi's anxiety, but please be patient..."

Shi Wuding suddenly said: "Isn't it because there is no core method at all? It's just because these sword slaves are too weak. When the sword energy enters their brains, their souls will be scattered. Once there is a slightly stronger soul, it will be different..."

Lei Zhentang's heart skipped a beat and his expression changed slightly.

This is true, but only half.

There is indeed another core method, which is an ancient secret technique. Not to mention Lei Zhentang, even the former Black Miao King doesn't know where it is. It is more likely to be lost in some ancient secret realm, or even disappeared with the collapse of the era. It is a joke to say that it can be found by unifying Miaojiang. The Black Miao King ruled Miaojiang for decades, and he found nothing

So he was indeed trying to trick Shi Wuding into cooperating with him to unify Miao territory.

But the so-called core method is just a method, not a principle that was created when the world was first created. The method is always created by people and is not that mysterious. If people today have the right guidance and step onto the right ladder, they may be able to realize it on their own.

Where are the stairs

If you can get a sword slave of the second secret treasure level, it may be a good step. With such a strong soul, it will not be disturbed by the sword energy, and it can retain its memory and a certain degree of autonomy. This is the best supply needed by the sword master.

Of course, this is difficult to do. Who can capture a person from the Earth Ranking alive to conduct such an experiment? Even someone as powerful as the Black Miao King cannot do this. Moreover, this is just a guess, a possibility. Who would be willing to seek out a top-ranked person in the world for a possibility? Isn't that crazy...

It would have been fine if Shi Wuding hadn't thought of these things. Once he thought of them, with his understanding of swordsmanship, he would know that this was indeed a possibility and could not be fooled.

Others would be concerned about various consequences and would not seek to be on the list for such a small possibility, but for a sword madman who has devoted his life to the pursuit of kendo, that is not necessarily the case...

Seeing his expression, Shi Wuding became more certain of his judgment, and the fierce look in his eyes became more and more intense.

You have fooled me for so long, wasting my time playing with you in this barren place full of bugs... It turns out that the door to the sword is right in front of me!

Lei Zhentang was still racking his brains to find a reason to appease her, but alarm bells were rising in his heart.

A terrifying sword energy came straight from the side of his body. It was a sneak attack in anger from the sixth on the Earth List and one of the strongest swords in the world!

Lei Zhentang never thought that this guy would be so decisive and ruthless. The matter has not been clarified yet. If it is clarified, we can all go together to catch Wang Daozhong! Everyone is obviously a collaborator, but they actually treat him, Lei Zhentang, as a target for a sneak attack!

This fucking lunatic!

Even Cui Wenjing and Wang Daoning on the Heavenly Ranking would find it difficult to cope with such a sudden attack, let alone Lei Zhentang!

After all, he was on the Earth List and was not weak. He twisted his body narrowly, and the terrifying sword light brushed past his ribs and went straight through.

Although he seemed to have dodged it, the violent sword energy still cut his ribs and made them bleed profusely, and even his ribs were almost visible...

Lei Zhentang drew the Miao Dao from his waist and fought back with all his might. The followers around him woke up as if from a dream, shouted in unison, and surrounded Shi Wuding and attacked wildly, trying to rescue the clan leader.

Shi Wuding sneered, and the sword light surged, sweeping all his followers in.

How could these small fry stop him for half a round

I came here for the sword, and what happens in Miaojiang is none of my business!

But at this moment, the sound of wind and thunder rose behind him, a tsunami surged, the waves crashed against the shore, and the clouds in the sky suddenly cleared.

Wang Clan of Langya, the Sword of Heaven and Sea!

Shi Wuding suddenly turned his head, and the man and the sword became one, rushing straight towards his back.

Lei Zhentang was seriously injured, and the effect was achieved... Did I really let you capture the Earth Ranking Sword Slave, and then come back to capture me, Old Wang, after tasting the taste? You are still chasing Hong Ling, who is Wu Bing's enemy... I, Old Wang... Oh, I, Zhao Changhe, am not stupid.

At the same time as Zhao Changhe launched a sneak attack, Lei Zhentang in front of him was injured but not dead. His Miao Dao turned into an arc of electricity and swept towards his neck.

Another Black Miao wizard retreated a few steps and chanted a spell.

Farther away, the tribesmen and horses led by Lei Zhentang discovered something unusual here. The war horses raised up dust and the shouts of killing shook the earth.

Shi Wuding, who had succeeded in the sneak attack, was instead caught in an awkward siege. He was so angry that he almost vomited blood: "Wang Daozhong, you two-faced son of a bitch, don't let me meet you in the martial arts world, I will kill you no matter how hard I try!"
