"gone?"

In the main hall of Shenhuang Sect, Li Shentong stood in front of the statue of the founder with his hands behind his back and watched quietly. Situ Xiao, who had been drinking and making a mess outside, dared not breathe in front of his master, and answered honestly behind him: "Not long after the master left, he left directly without drinking, and felt very uncomfortable."

"He gave something, did you give anything in return?"

Situ Xiao was a little helpless: "Yes, he didn't even look at it, he just put it in his pocket."

Li Shentong was obviously stunned by what he heard, and suddenly laughed out loud: "Interesting. But it doesn't matter, we gave it to us, even if he throws it into the garbage dump, that's his business, the Shenhuang Sect doesn't owe anyone anything."

What Situ Xiao gave to Zhao Changhe was the foundation of the Shenhuang Sect, the core method of the Shenhuang horizontal training and body building.

It was obviously to repay Zhao Changhe for the healing body he gave him casually, and not to owe him a favor. As for whether the horizontal training could be of use to him, it didn't matter. The value of it was there.

One of them casually gave away the secret method of the second level of secret collection, and the other directly returned the sect's foundation. However, both parties did not take it seriously at all, even the master did not take it seriously.

"What he said was that he carried a long sword on his shoulder and hung a bottle of wine on his waist, which was very chivalrous... He wanted to be a knight, but it was a pity that he could not do it. This person is at the center of the storm, and he is a person with a strong sense of responsibility and loyalty. It is not easy for him to live in the martial arts world." Li Shentong smiled: "The picture he described is very suitable for you."

Situ Xiao was silent for a moment, then sighed and said, "Is it okay now?"

"why not?"

"My current identity..."

"What kind of bullshit identity do you have? Young Master of Shu?"

"Uh, that's not what I meant. I meant that others would be... uh, it seems that they wouldn't..."

He was originally the young master of the most powerful sect. If he became the young master of Shu, would it make any difference to his life in the martial arts world? He would still be cautious of those who should be cautious of you, and would still be the enemy of those who wanted to be your enemies.

The only difference is that Daxia officials were friendly, but now they are enemies... But now Daxia is on fire everywhere, I'm afraid the government can't do anything...

Situ Xiao was scratching his head when he thought of this. After all this time, the rebellion was almost the same as before

Looking at Master's appearance, there is indeed no difference. He doesn't fight in the battles, and doesn't care about anything. He is still in the hall as usual, as if he is still the leader of the Shenhuang Sect.

"Do you know why I always tolerated a bastard like Zhai Muzhi?" Li Shentong suddenly asked.

"Aren't you worried about the Snow Owl?"

"It is one aspect, but it is not decisive. It is only one of the factors... This guy is really powerful. I thought that once this rat in the gutter is exposed to the sun, I would crush him like a stink bug, but it turns out that it is not that easy. He is no match for me in a head-on situation, but if he wants to leave, I can neither stop him nor catch up with him. It is indeed not easy to be ranked sixth on the Heavenly Ranking. The Book of Chaos is not a random ranking."

Situ laughed and said, "If this kind of character is to be assassinated in the future..."

Li Shentong said disdainfully: "He doesn't dare to come. Even if he can run away ten or a hundred times, as long as he is hurt by me once, I will squeeze the shit out of him. A character who is used to hiding in the gutter will not put himself in danger."

Situ Xiao nodded and didn't ask what would happen if he assassinated us.

If the sixth on the Heavenly Ranking would play like this, losing all his style, and using his life to drag the style of the sixth on the Heavenly Ranking into the mud, that would be a pleasure.

He was more interested in the other reasons Li Shentong had mentioned before for tolerating Zhai Muzhi: "Xue Xiao is only one of the reasons, what are the others?"

"You want to listen?"

Situ Xiao said straightforwardly: "Yes."

"First... Yuxu and I both suspect that Xia Longyuan is not unable to control the chaos in the world because of what he is doing, nor is he just watching the monkey show because he is too lazy to care... There is a high possibility that Xia Longyuan wanted to see this result."

Situ Xiao was stunned: "Why? His own kingdom!"

"The reason is unknown, but this is the only way to explain it. Anything else is hard to explain." Li Shentong said calmly, "If this is the case, he is just waiting for me to rebel... Do you think I should do what he wants?"

Situ laughed and said loudly: "That's it. What's there to hesitate about?"

Li Shentong finally stopped looking at the statue of the founder and turned to look at his disciple: "Why?"

Situ laughed and said, "If practicing martial arts can't protect a place, and can't chop off the heads of people we don't like, then what's the point of practicing martial arts? We should do what we think is right. We don't care what Xia thinks. That's none of our business."

Li Shentong smiled on his ugly face and patted his apprentice on the shoulder: "The second reason is that you and I can kill the governor and the county magistrate, and throw all the nobles in Shu into the Jinsha River. Then what? Do you know how to make the people in Shu live a better life?"

Situ Xiao, who had been so arrogant just now, opened his mouth and stammered for a long time: "It's hard to find a two-legged toad, but are you afraid that you can't find someone who can be an official? We are responsible for protecting the border and the people, and we can find someone who can do other things. We will keep them in check, so how dare they do anything?"

"you sure?"

"Most...mostly possible!"

"Okay, then you are responsible for this."

Situ laughed: "???"

"Don't say that I am trying to trick you... I have more to do."

"You mean to see the statue of the founder here?"

Li Shentong raised his hand to slap, and Situ Xiao dodged.

"Now that rebels are everywhere, how many are real rebels, and how many are just trying to take advantage of the situation? How many are willing to rely on you and me, and how many want to secede and establish their own regime? Rebellion is easy to say, but many troubles will follow. How about you do these things? Let's switch?"

Situ Xiao thought for a long time and said: "Change it."

"Then you do it, I'll back you up." Li Shentong slowly left the hall and sighed softly, "Zhao Changhe is not the only one who wants to be a hero but can't."

Situ Xiao twitched his lips. He was a scumbag master who fought with his apprentice. Fortunately, I woke up. In June, the elder of Shenhuang Sect, Shi Tieshi, led his people to break Chengdu.

Situ Xiao swept across Bashu, killed more than 170 rebel soldiers and bandit leaders with his sword, subdued more than 20 rebel armies in various places, and shocked the southwest, bringing peace to Shu.

The book about troubled times would not record these incidents of "bullying the small fry". No one knew how many injuries this man had suffered or whether he almost faced death.

It will only be sent to the capital in the report of the Demon Suppression Bureau and arrive on Tang Wanzhuang's desk.

"Bashu is no longer Daxia's property..." A few days later, Tang Wanzhuang stroked the report and whispered to herself, "But why do I feel relieved..."

Baoqin said: "The young lady didn't raise a bear, but he raised her into one."

With a "plop", the window opened and a little maid was curled up and thrown into the pool.

"Master, Master, something bad has happened!" A confidant from the Demon Suppression Division outside reported: "Jianghuai is in chaos, Wan Tianxiong has rebelled!"

Tang Wanzhuang said expressionlessly: "Got it."

"Master, Master! Wang Daoning's troops are marching into Hebei to fight against King Cui in Puyang!"

Tang Wanzhuang looked at the peaceful scene outside the window. A few days ago, she had begged Xia Longyuan with tears in her eyes to capture the Wang family's forces in the capital first, but now everything was calm and nothing had happened.

Tang Wanzhuang felt dizzy and suddenly started coughing violently.

When he opened his palm, he saw it was covered in blood.

Zhao Changhe had finally managed to stabilize her condition, but it rapidly deteriorated within just a few days.

… …

At this time, Zhao Changhe was riding his horse straight to the Jinsha River from southern Sichuan, intending to take a boat down the river to Wuxia. Anyway, no matter who he went to first, going to the Blood God Sect was on the way out of Sichuan, so he could go there first.

The atmosphere of war in the chaotic world made Zhao Changhe realize the significance of the Holy Son of the Blood God Cult, whom he had not taken very seriously before.

In this situation, the value of having a basic base of power is more important than the personal strength of the second secret treasure.

Sisi's side might be considered his base, but it was too far away and out of reach. Although the Blood God Cult had a small number of people, they were truly elite troops stationed in key areas. After several battles, they were more like regular troops and were still stationed in Xiangyang, playing a vital role.

Perhaps they should be considered as part of the Four Symbols Sect, and should have a part in the rebellion at this time? Or maybe they should just stay put for now and respond when needed. It was not appropriate for him to openly pull them away and fall out with the Four Symbols Sect for no reason.

But if he did something that did not conflict with the Four Symbols Sect's position, the Suzaku Venerable would probably not say anything. After all, he was the Fire Pig of the Room, and the Blood God Sect's current "official status" was still his own, so the Suzaku had to recognize his power to use the Blood God Sect, otherwise it would not look good.

The Four Symbols Sect and the Wang family are currently allied. If they pull the Blood God Sect in to fight the Wang family, would that be considered a conflict of positions

Zhao Changhe knew it wasn't a big problem.

No matter how much they form an alliance, when they each start their own rebellion, they will be both enemies and friends and be on guard against each other. Countless examples throughout history have proved this point. Moreover, Zhao Changhe has long known that Suzaku and the Wang family are purely mutually beneficial, and they will fall out sooner or later. As long as they cooperate well, Suzaku may be secretly very happy.

It might not be appropriate for Wan Tianxiong to confront the Wang family so early, and no one would rebel like that, but the Blood God Cult could do it, because Wang Daozhong knew that the Holy Son of the Blood God Cult was Zhao Changhe. Zhuque could push the blame on everything the Blood God Cult did, and put all the blame on "that bastard Zhao Changhe".

Of course, how to coordinate is still a headache... If King Cui and King Cui fight, the Four Symbols Sect will definitely be happy to see it, but I have to help the Cui family, how to coordinate...

It's a mess.

He didn't have the brain to think so much for the moment, he would see Xue Canghai first, he already had something in his arms to give to Xue Canghai, this time was just right. If he dared not listen to the Holy Son, the thing would be gone.

After riding for several days, they finally reached the river. Zhao Changhe looked out at the river anxiously, but couldn't find a boat for a while.

"Xia Xia, at what level can one fly? I don't think anyone on the Heaven Ranking can fly, at most they can hang in the air or dance in the air? Or maybe their Qinggong can only fly a long distance, but it's not enough to be called flying."

"You already know everything, why are you asking me?"

"I'm asking what realm one can reach... This can't be some secret that can't be told, right?"

"Can you use some brains? Since you know that the triple secret treasure can be suspended in the air, then the next stage will be able to fly."

"Imperial Realm?"

"The word 'Yu' means to control the wind. It's still a bit far from you now, come on, little brother."

Zhao Changhe looked at the ferry appearing in the distance, sighed, and did not respond.

The blind frog in the boiling water has gone through various stages of saying “I’m not your personal guide”, or telling riddles, and has slowly come to the stage where now when you call “Blind” and ask a question, he answers subconsciously... Isn’t this good

The same goes for Yujing... Is it far

I’m afraid it’s not far away.

The "control of evil spirits" emphasized in the second secret treasure is actually a kind of "control".

Each stage, step by step, is always a different node on the same road.

Gradually control the world.
