Chapter 768: Jue Jian comes to visit and meets an old friend on the way!
Jiang Kingdom, the fairy city of dreams.
City Lord's Mansion.
"I wonder what the matter is that Master Juejian is visiting you for?"
Honglian came to the reception room and looked at Yun Jianfeng, who was dressed in a black brocade robe and had a calm and sharp face. She smiled elegantly without any restraint.
"Friend Li, I came here today to discuss matters concerning the Kingdom of Yue."
The Sword Dao Yuanying Zhenjun did not exchange too many pleasantries and went straight to the point.
"Yueguo?"
Honglian vaguely guessed the purpose of Master Juejian's visit.
As one of the three major fairy cities in Jiang Kingdom, Dameng Fairy City has always been paying attention to the situation and information of surrounding forces.
During the Liang-Vietnam War, the Kingdom of Yue was defeated step by step.
However, the fantasy realm of Hansha was opened, and the body of Tiancan Zhenjun of Liang Kingdom was beheaded in the secret realm, and Zhenjun Yunmei was seriously injured, causing great damage to the vitality of Liang Kingdom and the counterattack of Yue Kingdom.
But even so, the Liang-Vietnam War remained at a stalemate.
Over the years, the four major sects of Jiang Kingdom have been working hard to help Yue Kingdom, hoping to end the battle, but Liang Kingdom is very resilient.
Now that this True Lord Juejian has come, Honglian guessed that it is related to the Liangyue War, or that there may be changes in this war.
"According to the news, Liang State and Yuan State have reached some kind of cooperation. At that time, Yuan State's Yuanying Zhenjun is likely to come out and help Liang State invade Yue State, so I would like to invite Fellow Daoist Li and Fellow Daoist Wang to help."
True Lord Jue Jian spoke and stated the purpose of his visit.
The geographical environment of Jiang State is very good. To the west are the countries of the Western Regions, so there is no need to worry. To the north is the natural barrier of Damengze. To the south is not only the Wanshou Mountains, but also the ally of Yue State.
The only thing to pay attention to is the State of Jin.
Now that Liang State has reached a cooperation with Yuan State, if they annex Yue State, then their Jiang State will be in great danger and embarrassment.
"really."
Honglian knew that the Yuan Kingdom had infiltrated the Wu Kingdom, but was not sure of the details.
Now, after hearing the words of True Lord Juejian, he instantly realized the seriousness of the problem.
The Yuan Kingdom and the Liang Kingdom have reached a cooperation, and Yuanying Zhenjun may end up in trouble.
After so many years, it is very likely that Master Yunmei’s injuries have healed.
If Beast God Mountain pays the price, Heaven Silkworm True Lord may also be able to complete the reconstruction by taking over another body.
In this case, if the Yue Kingdom and the Yuan Kingdom invade together, the Yue Kingdom will definitely not be a match.
Although Jiang State has two Yuanying True Lords, it still has to be wary of the neighboring Jin State and other cultivators who may lurking and attack.
"How many Yuanying Zhenjuns will die in Yuan Kingdom?"
Although Honglian only had the Jindan level of cultivation, she was not at all nervous in front of the True Lord Juejian. She was detached, calm and elegant.
“High probability of two”
Regarding these, True Lord Juejian was not sure, but he only received news from the Kingdom of Yue that the situation was not good.
“Two.”
Honglian thought for a moment and said, "I need to discuss this matter with my husband, but my husband is in seclusion and is not sure when he will come out."
"Excuse me, Master Zhen, when will the Yuan Kingdom take action?"
Although she was a Yuanying Zhenjun in her previous life, she is now only at the eighth level of Jindan. In a Yuanying-level battle, what she can do is very limited.
At most, you can use secret methods to fight back for a short period of time.
Besides, she needs to stay in the Dameng Fairy City, and it is impossible for her to risk her life and use the secret technique of Nascent Soul for such a thing.
"The time is uncertain, maybe as short as one year, or as long as three to five years?"
True Lord Jue Jian said, and then asked the city lord Wang Lin when he would come out of seclusion.
"To be honest, my husband and I came to Jiang Country from Beiyuan with serious injuries. My husband is currently recovering from his injuries and I'm afraid he won't be able to leave in the short term."
In the past, when Lu Changsheng went out, he would basically come back after one or two years.
But this time he had been away for four years and had not returned yet, so she was not sure for the moment.
"He is seriously injured and will not be able to leave in a short time."
The eyes of the Supreme Lord Juejian, which seemed to contain two peerless divine swords, narrowed slightly.
When Dameng Fairy City held a whale hunting banquet, he saw the city lord take action.
Relying on the fourth-level physique, he suppressed a Jindan Great Immortal while chatting and laughing, and did not look like he was injured at all.
However, regarding the mysterious City Lord Wang and the City Lord's wife in front of them, he and True Lord Xuanjian had long guessed that the two were most likely True Lords of the Nascent Soul stage.
It’s just that due to some reasons, the realm of cultivation has been damaged.
"This matter is of great importance. Fellow Daoist Li can send a message to Fellow Daoist Wang to discuss it."
"And this trip will not be in vain. Since Fellow Daoist Wang is seriously injured, my Tianjian Sect also has some rare spiritual medicines that may be useful."
True Lord Jue Jian did not have the slightest pleading tone in his voice. He looked straight at the red lotus in front of him with a serious face and spoke seriously.
Their Tianjian Sect allowed the two to take charge of the Dameng Fairy City and gave them many preferential treatments. In addition to the strength that Lu Changsheng and Honglian had demonstrated at the beginning, the killing of the fourth-level demon king was also a manifestation of the friendly attitude of the two.
I hope that if Jiang Kingdom encounters danger and faces a great catastrophe from the devil in the future, the two of them can lend a hand.
Now that Dameng Fairy City is unwilling to help in the Liangyue War and only wants to hide behind, his Tianjian Sect will have to reconsider how to treat Dameng Fairy City.
"I will inform my husband about this matter. If there is any news, I will inform your clan immediately."
Honglian understood the meaning behind Master Juejian's words, and responded with a faint smile as she opened her red lips.
"it is good."
True Lord Juejian gazed at Honglian, who was wearing a red gilded Vermillion Bird dress, and was graceful, elegant and noble, then nodded and said goodbye.
After True Lord Juejian left completely, Honglian exhaled a breath of fragrance, restrained the elegant and calm smile on her face, and crushed the jade talisman that Lu Changsheng had left behind.
Then inform Ling Zixiao that in the following period of time, the alert level of the Immortal City will be secretly raised.
When Master Jue Jian came here, his attitude was very clear.
If their Dameng Fairy City is unwilling to help, then the Tianjian Sect will no longer treat them as allies.
Under normal circumstances, there is nothing to fear in Dameng Fairy City.
But Lu Changsheng is not here now.
And when he went out, he took with him the Sun and Moon Mysterious Light Mirror and the Sea-Splitting Black Dragon Whale.
Once the Tianjian Sect's attitude changes, it will be difficult for her to cope with it with her current strength.
The land of eternal night.
Golden Vine Town.
In a house made of blue bricks.
After waiting for more than a month, Lu Changsheng finally took out the third-level top puppet, the mountain-moving whip, the third-level armor, and the divination coins from the storage ring with the help of the little magic power of his children and grandchildren.
Looking at the divination coin in his hand, he closed his eyes and thought for a long time, then threw it out.
"A good fortune, meeting an old friend on the road."
Looking at the divination coins on the ground, Lu Changsheng seemed to be thinking about something.
Although in this world, Qi, blood, and magic power are dormant, and there is no spiritual consciousness, it is impossible to sense the unknown secrets of heaven.
But as a fourth-level fortune teller, he can also tell fortunes with the help of divination tools such as divination coins, but it is not as accurate as usual.
Through the divination coins, he saw that his trip into the mountains was auspicious and he would meet an old friend on the way.
As for which old friend, Qian Zhuyan or the Six Paths Demon Concubine, he had no idea.
Immediately, Lu Changsheng put away the divination coins, carried the Sun and Moon Yin-Yang Mysterious Mirror in his arms, put on a suit of ink-black armor, and carried a mountain-moving whip on his back, and walked out of the house.
"My Lord, what do you want?"
The guards and maids serving outside looked a little surprised when they saw Lu Changsheng wearing armor.
They remembered that when Lu Changsheng came, he was wearing a wide green robe and had no armor or weapons, so why was he wearing armor now?
Even if they had average eyesight, they could tell that this armor, which was as black as ink, was extraordinary. It seemed as if it was cast from dark iron that had been there for thousands of years. A faint black light flowed through it, giving people a deep and heavy feeling.
The same goes for the Mountain-Moving Whip on the back. Just looking at it gives one a feeling of suffocation and heaviness.
"Call your master over."
Lu Changsheng said aloud.
Having lived and eaten here for more than a month and learned about the situation in the Land of Eternal Night through them, Patriarch Lu naturally would not eat and drink for free.
The owner of the house came over and saw the armor and mountain-moving whip on Lu Changsheng, and his pupils shrank suddenly.
He had heard some legends about people from outer space.
Some people from outer space possess the power of space mustard.
He could be sure that the Lu Changsheng in front of him was a top-level alien!
"Sir, I wonder what you want me to do?"
This nobleman was one of the top powerful men in Jinteng Town, but at this moment he was extremely respectful to Lu Changsheng.
"You have worked hard for more than a month. I am going to go to the mountains. This is your reward."
Lu Changsheng threw a jade box that he had prepared in advance to the other party and spoke.
He had studied the cultivation methods here, which were similar to physical cultivation.
This jade box contains a spiritual object that can form a pill of qi and blood. If this person takes it and refines it, his strength will be greatly improved.
"Thank you, sir!"
Yuan Yihua took the jade box with joy, thanked him respectfully, and then asked Lu Changsheng if he needed someone to lead the way.
There are many hunters in the town who go up the mountain and can lead the way for him.
"Need not."
Lu Changsheng waved his hand, then beckoned to the three puppets in the house, and the man and three puppets strode away.
"This is."
Yuan Yihua looked at the three puppets in front of him and felt that Lu Changsheng was more and more extraordinary. He respectfully saw him off from the town and headed into the mountains.
After sending Lu Changsheng off, he returned to his home immediately and opened the jade box. Inside, he saw a blood ginseng with a radiant glow and a fragrant aroma.
Just by smelling the scent of this blood ginseng, he felt relaxed all over, as if the sky was boiling.
"This mysterious master actually gave such a spiritual medicine."
He didn't know what the spiritual objects that could form the elixir were. He only knew that the blood ginseng in front of him contained astonishing spiritual substances, far beyond what he had ever seen. He trembled with excitement and his hands shook.
If I were to take and refine all of them, my strength would surely change dramatically, and I could go to live in a famous city far away, and no longer have to stay in this remote and dark town.
After Lu Changsheng walked out of the town, he headed towards the depths of the mountains where the skylight was.
The environment in the wild is extremely harsh, but for Lu Changsheng, it is as easy as walking on flat ground.
Occasionally, a wild beast would appear, and he would easily kill it with the puppet next to him without any action.
He didn't know how long he had been traveling, but Lu Changsheng saw a pair of eyes in the dark forest ahead, as if they were peeping at him.
Even though he has no magical power or spiritual awareness.
But with the fourth-level physique, the vision and spiritual perception brought by Taiyi Soul, he looked carefully and saw a black shadow with a pale white face peeking at him, and the pupils with white eyes were eerie and terrifying.
It was truly shocking that such a scene suddenly appeared in such a lifeless forest.
"Look at your mother!"
However, Lu Changsheng was not afraid at all and directly threw the Mountain Moving Whip in his hand.
Even though this spiritual treasure, like the Michen Banner, has its spirituality suppressed and affected here, it is still a top-level magical weapon.
With a "puff" sound, accompanied by a creepy and shrill voice, the black shadow disappeared into smoke, and a fingernail-sized emerald green crystal fell off.
"Huh? What is this?"
Upon seeing this, Lu Changsheng stepped forward, picked up the Mountain-Moving Whip and the emerald green crystal, and after taking a few glances at it, he saw that the crystal contained extremely pure power of the ghost.
"Is this the mysterious danger that Yuan Yihua and the others just mentioned?"
During these days, Lu Changsheng has learned more about the Land of Eternal Night. He knows that this place is very strange and there are many mysterious and unknown events.
However, in his opinion, these strange, mysterious and unknown things were all due to his lack of strength, and he could not make specific contact with them.
Just like the black shadow just now, it looks a bit like a ghost.
If the people in the town encounter this, they will find it difficult to deal with or resolve it and will simply regard it as some mysterious, unknown horror.
He put away the emerald green crystal and continued to move deeper into the mountains.
After spending more than half a month, Lu Changsheng finally arrived at the place with skylight in the deep mountains pointed out by Yuan Yihua and others.
But through Awu's perception and observation, there was no trace of Golden-winged Sky Peng and Qian Zhuyan.
“Not being able to use spiritual consciousness is a problem.”
Lu Changsheng was used to the feeling of being in control of everything by using his spiritual sense to observe everything. Now that he had no spiritual sense, he felt very uncomfortable.
Fortunately, he still had the Sun and Moon Mysterious Light Mirror, which could barely replace his spiritual sense, otherwise he would have to give up looking for someone in this vast mountain.
Looking at the pitch-black world that seemed to be swallowed by the abyss, Lu Changsheng sighed, then took out the divination coin, closed his eyes and threw it out, randomly picked a direction, and continued searching.
After all, according to the hexagram, this trip of mine is a good one. As long as I keep looking, I will meet old friends.
Along the way, he saw many spiritual plants and even spiritual fields glowing with colorful luster.
It’s just that the storage ring is not convenient to use now, and the level of these spiritual medicine crystal ores is too low, it is really inconvenient to carry, so I can only give up.
Time passed little by little, and Lu Changsheng and his three puppets continued to search in the dark mountains.
Although there were dangers from time to time during the process, his strength and three third-level top puppets were enough to deal with them.
"Um!?"
That day, Lu Changsheng suddenly sensed a faint sound of fighting coming from afar.
At this moment, the Sun-Moon Yin-Yang Mysterious Light Mirror in his arms trembled slightly, telling Lu Changsheng that there seemed to be the presence of Qian Zhuyan in the distance.
"Xiao Yan!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng immediately looked in the direction where the fighting noise came from, and then took the three puppets and rushed towards the place of battle at an astonishing speed, smashing the trees and rocks along the way into pieces.
There is a dense forest in the distance.
A gigantic puppet with a dark and cold metallic luster all over its body was fighting with a woman in a colorful palace dress.
Several figures wearing armor and holding weapons nearby saw this scene and did not dare to step forward. They were horrified that their city lord was no match for this monster.
Seeing a sharp flying sword suddenly fly out from the sleeves of the woman in the colorful skirt, Qian Zhuyan's eyes were burning with soul fire, and his voice was hoarse and cold: "Jiedan magic power, are you a cultivator!?"
"Um!?"
The woman in the colorful skirt was a little surprised when she saw Qian Zhuyan. How could such a puppet appear in such a deep mountain?
Just think that some mutant creature or strange creature has taken over this puppet.
However, she was no match for this puppet and had no choice but to use her expensive magic power.
Unexpectedly, the puppet actually spoke and recognized that he was using his magic power.
"Are you a monk who was dragged into the Land of Eternal Night?"
The woman in the colorful skirt tightly grasped the sword in her hand, stepped back a little, looked surprised, and spoke vigilantly.
It is amazing that a puppet has its own consciousness, just like a monk.
"The Land of Eternal Night?"
Qian Zhuyan first fell into the deep mountains. Apart from wild beasts, mutant creatures and other strange things, he had never encountered any human beings, so he had no idea about this world.
I had just met the group of people wearing colorful skirts and before I could communicate with them, they were treated as strange creatures and attacked by both sides.
"Can you tell me where this place is?"
Qian Zhuyan looked at the woman in the colorful skirt in front of him and asked.
After he finished speaking, he threw a rare spiritual object he had just obtained to the other party, actively showing his goodwill.
"This place is called the Land of Eternal Night."
The woman in the colorful skirt saw that the puppet in front of her seemed to be a cultivator with independent consciousness. She spoke out, but remained vigilant.
After all, in this place of eternal night, one must never let down one's guard when seeing cultivators or people from other worlds.
Especially the puppet in front of him was extremely terrifying. It was suspected to be a fourth-level puppet and it even had consciousness. It was simply horrifying.
“Is this also someone from outer space?”
The few people in armor nearby knew that their city lord was an alien, but they did not expect that the puppet in front of them, which looked like a war machine, was also an alien.
"The Land of Eternal Night? Why do I feel like this place is not like the world of immortal cultivation, but rather like some secret place?"
Qian Zhuyan continued to ask, wanting to know the situation here from the woman in the colorful skirt, and then find a way to find his master.
However, at this moment, she and the woman in the colorful skirt suddenly felt something and looked in one direction with alert expressions.
After just a few breaths, rapid movements approached, and in the darkness in the distance, several figures were seen rushing towards this side.
Leading the group was a figure wearing dark armor.
