"Brother!"
"Brother Ten Wings!"
"Senior brother is vomiting blood! If this continues, I'm afraid senior brother will..."
"Senior brother's martial soul was taken away, and now he is so stimulated. It is really dangerous. We must find a way!"
"Old Ten!"
Zhou Xiang looked at the unconscious Zheng Shiyi and became anxious. He quickly took two steps forward, held Zheng Shiyi up with his hands, entered the Yangxin Hall in a few short steps, and laid him flat in the pool.
"Old Shi! You can't die! You must survive for Yu Qi!"
Zhou Xiang placed his hand on Zheng Shiyi's heart, and pure spiritual energy burst out from his body like a dragon emerging from the sea. It poured crazily into Zheng Shiyi's body along his arms. Waves of pure spiritual energy entered Zheng Shiyi's body. Gradually, Zheng Shiyi breathed. It has stabilized and looks much better than before.
Zhou Xiang sat down on the ground, gasping twice, and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with his right hand: "Old Shi, I can only help you up to this point, the rest is up to you. I know you don't know how to do it." Disappoint me!"
Everyone looked at Zheng Shiyi's breathing that finally recovered. The breath hanging in his throat finally slowed down. Zhou Xiang was sitting on the ground and suddenly remembered something. He suddenly stood up and turned to look at the people behind him, reminding Said: "For Xuan Ming, and even more for Lao Shi, we must block the news, and we must not reveal even half of the news about Lao Shi's weakness and Yu Qi's departure!
The various sects surrendered under the pressure of Lao Shi. If they learn about Lao Shi's current situation, they will definitely collude with everyone again and try to invade the imperial city. There will be a big war by then. If Lao Shi is affected, Ten, the consequences will be disastrous! "
"yes."
Everyone knew the seriousness of the matter and nodded heavily, but the matter was not as perfect as Zhou Xiang imagined, and the news spread quickly.
Taiyin Sect, in a huge council hall, a dozen old men with white beards sat around and began to discuss.
"Have you heard? It has spread to the outside world. I heard that the Imperial City was attacked by unknown warriors, which greatly reduced the strength of the Imperial City and was defeated. Maybe this is a good opportunity for us to fight back!"
"This year, our Taiyin Sect not only lost its position as the top of the ten sects, but also lost most of its resources. Our strength is far less than before. Now, the changes in the imperial city are a good opportunity for us to rise again. We must not give up easily. .”
"Old Xu is right. Zheng Shiyi relies on his unrivaled strength to plunder the resources of various sects. The ten sects have already complained and can only swallow their anger. If all this is true, he will unite with several sects to fight up the mountain and snatch what they have lost. H!"
"You must not be reckless about this matter. It is just a rumor. Don't believe it easily. If this is a trap, then things will be in trouble!"
Everyone had their own ideas, and their thoughts could not be unified. They naturally looked to one side and looked at the calm old man sitting on a willow chair, wearing black clothes: "Master, how should we do this? "
The leader of the Taiyin Sect tapped the handrail with two fingers of his right hand, slowly opened his eyes, looked at the upright little warrior standing next to him, and ordered: "Xiao Yuan, go and find out the accurate information. You must be extra careful. You must not leave anything behind." No mistakes made."
"yes!"
Xiao Yuan nodded in response, then walked out of the room and rushed to the imperial city.
For a time, all the nine sects sent warriors who were good at inquiring to the Imperial City Hall to inquire about the authenticity of the rumors. One day later, Xiao Yuan returned to the Taiyin Sect and came to the conference hall. It seemed that the leader sitting in front of him , knelt down on one knee and reported back: "Master, the imperial city is heavily guarded. It seems like something really happened. It is said that someone inquired that Zheng Shiyi is now seriously injured and has no fighting ability. Su Yuqi of the Xuanming Sect is also Suddenly disappeared, the imperial city was leaderless, it was a weak moment."
"Very good, very good!" The leader of the Taiyin Sect slapped the table and stood up: "Immediately notify all the sects to discuss strategies to attack the city. We must enter the imperial city before Zheng Shiyi recovers!"
Soon the news spread to all the sects, and the nine heads gathered in the Taiyin Sect and sat down to discuss.
"Now Zheng Shiyi is about to die, Su Yuqi's whereabouts are unknown, and the imperial city is currently leaderless. This is our best opportunity to launch a crusade!"
"That's right! The nine major sects have been in dire straits this year under the pressure of Zheng Shiyi. Now, everyone must put aside their past grudges, fight against the enemy together, break the imperial city in one fell swoop, and take away the power that belongs to the nine major sects. Take it back!"
"It's been a year, and the vitality of the nine sects has been restored. Now is the impetuous stage. All the disciples and the top leaders of the sect have long been dissatisfied with the royal family's actions. Zheng Shiyi was seriously injured again. Now it is the right time and the right place. During the time of peace, as long as the nine sects work together, they can definitely take down the imperial city in one fell swoop!"
“…”
The leader of the Taiyin Sect tapped the table with two fingers of his right hand to interrupt everyone's speech. He touched the beard on his chin with his left hand and said thoughtfully: "Now is indeed the best opportunity to attack the imperial city, but this year The Chu Dynasty gradually fell into stability under the leadership of Zheng Shiyi.
If we attack the Imperial City now, I am afraid that we will be condemned by the world. The Nine sects are famous and decent sects. If we want to send troops, we need a legitimate interest to convince the world. Otherwise, even if we capture the Imperial City, we will be reviled by the world. "
"Head Xu Feng has indeed considered everything comprehensively." A warrior who looked very calm on the side nodded.
"The strong are respected. As long as we rely on strong strength to defeat the royal family, how dare others complain!" A bald warrior in black clothes touched his oily head with his right hand: "It wasn't true that Zheng Shiyi captured the imperial city in the first place. He also relies on coercion to make everyone surrender. In my opinion, there is no need for any reason at all, just go directly to the imperial city!"
"That's not what you're saying." A slightly fat old man next to him shook his head, and the fat on his chin kept trembling as his head shook: "Zou Zecheng, how can you have such thoughts as the leader of the Double Dragon Sect? Zheng Shiyi is a village of wild grass, so there is no need to worry about anything, but as a noble and decent family, we must have reasonable reasons for sending troops."
"It's just a reasonable reason. Stop arguing."
Suddenly, a loud voice sounded, and everyone looked around. In their eyes, the short warrior holding a folding fan slowly stood up. It turned out to be Lu Boyan, the new head of the Yuxu Sect! He is still very smart in terms of his mind. Let's see if he has any good reasons for sending troops.
Lu Boyan stood up and was not in a hurry to express his thoughts. Instead, he walked around for a few steps in a pretentious manner. After a while, he gently hit the folding fan in his right hand on the palm of his left hand: "If you want to get up for a legitimate reason, it is actually very simple. One year ago , he killed the King of Chu and occupied the palace, killing countless people. Because he was too strong that day, no one held him accountable for the crime of plotting to usurp the throne. But now that he is on the verge of death, it is the best opportunity to hold him accountable!"
He took a breath, flicked his wrist, and opened the folding fan gracefully, with a glint in his eyes: "It seems that under Zheng Shiyi's pressure for a year, everyone may have gradually forgotten about his movement skills. He is The heir of the Demon Sect! Let an heir of the Demon Sect rule the imperial city, who would tolerate this kind of tragedy to continue?"
Lu Boyan's words made everyone's eyes become hot. Xu Feng smacked the table excitedly and stood up: "Very good! Very good! This is exactly what I need. For three days, all the heads will mobilize all their resources." Warriors, in three days, we will enter the capital together and take back the throne that belongs to us!"
Zheng Shiyi's condition is not very optimistic. He is lying in the medicine pool, and his breathing is getting weaker and weaker. The Dragon Grass martial spirit in his body seems to be affected by Zheng Shiyi's body, and his beating is getting slower and slower. He can no longer continue to give Zheng Shiyi Continue your life.
The Xuanming disciples around looked at Zheng Shiyi whose condition was getting worse and worse. They jumped anxiously, but they could only watch and had no way to solve the problem.
"What should we do? If this continues, senior brother may really die!"
"My breathing is about to stop. My face is pale and there is no blood at all. What can we do? Do we have to watch our senior brother die like this?"
"Things have developed to this point. The leader has been taken away, and the senior brother is dying like this. Life and death are unpredictable. The voices of speculation outside are getting stronger and stronger. If this continues, I'm afraid we will all die here!"
Zhou Xiang frowned and racked his brains but still couldn't come up with any way to help Zheng Shiyi. There was a clear look of depression on his face: "There is no other way now. I can only pray that Lao Shi can survive this. He can only rely on himself."
Between life and death, Zheng Shiyi felt that his entire soul had left his body. He was walking alone in a dark space for an unknown length of time. Suddenly, a golden light appeared in front of him. In his sight, a human-shaped golden light walked towards him.
As the golden light approached, Zheng Shiyi gradually saw the other party's appearance clearly, and familiar conversations and faces emerged in his mind.
"Seeing that you are so nervous, you must know something about me. In that case, why don't you hand me over? I know that no one can resist the temptation given by Qingtian Cult."
"I didn't expect that I, Lu Xu, would live my whole life and meet such a principled boy like you before I die. Then I will give you a great opportunity!"
"This is a thousand-year spiritual liquid. One drop drops every thousand years. In addition to cleansing the marrow and severing the veins, it doubles the practitioner's cultivation speed and greatly improves their understanding. It can also help the strong break through bottlenecks!"
"I don't have much time. You have to do two things for me..."
The picture that emerged in his mind made Zheng Shiyi fall into a wry smile. A self-deprecating expression appeared on his face, and he said to himself: "I have been walking in the dark and have never found a way out, but I see my old friend who has passed away. How can I If you don’t survive this test, will you die like this?”
