After all the sacrifices have been made to speed pass, who is still practicing hard skills?

Chapter 394 The Secret of Peace Talks! Invitation to Intercept Luck!

With the Wind Spirit Pearl in hand, the purpose of his trip to the capital was finally achieved. His efforts were worthwhile. The next thing to do was to head to the East China Sea.

As long as he can get the True Dragon Elixir, he will be very close to breaking through the Dharma Realm.

"You deserve this. No need to thank me."

Ji Chengdao waved his hands and didn't take it seriously.

It was just a Wind Spirit Divine Pearl, and he didn't take it seriously. What really mattered to him was Jiang Che himself.

"Next, you will stay in the capital for a while. I have already arranged for your official position. Besides this, I have another matter for you to do."

Jiang Che showed a hint of hesitation and said:

"Can I leave Beijing for a while? I will definitely come back within a month."

With the True Dragon Ruins ahead, Jiang Che didn't want to delay too long, because he had already received a message from Zhao Xianzhi, saying that she had completely stabilized her realm and could go to the East China Sea at any time.

At the same time, Jiang Che did not stop contacting Yin Zhonghai during his time in Beijing, and they tested each other in order to make the other party dispel his suspicion of him as much as possible.

Another thing is that he needs to resolve the issue quickly.

The battle at Yanglongtan had exposed most of his strength. Although not many people noticed that he had entered the realm of unity between man and nature, there was no such rumor until now.

But he didn't dare to be absolutely sure.

Otherwise, once Chu He was scared away, his extreme yang energy would have to find another opportunity.

For this reason, even though Jiang Che won, he still asked Chen Qingfang for help and tried his best to help him reduce the impact. He said that it was because Lu Jieyun consumed most of Zagumu's strength that he was able to win easily.

This method has loopholes, but it is also an unavoidable choice.

Ji Chengdao looked at Jiang Che deeply, his eyes gleaming with light, and nodded slightly:

"That's fine."

Beijing, the ancient residence of the Xu family.

Ever since Xu Qiuyue's father was promoted to Vice Minister of the Ministry of War, this ancient house located in the outer city of the capital has gradually been abandoned. Only the nostalgic Third Prince's wife Xu Qiuyue would come to clean it every once in a while.

This day was just like any other.

Xu Qiuyue, dressed in a light blue dress, glanced around and pushed open an ordinary secret room. Inside the secret room, stood a figure.

He was wearing a dark green robe and looked thin and frail, but he seemed to exude a majestic aura like a mountain.

"Xu Qiuyue from the Beijing branch of the Green Bat Palace is here to see the Dharma King."

Xu Qiuyue bowed down with an indifferent look on her face.

It was as if she was now reflecting her true character.

The figure in green robe slowly turned around, revealing a somewhat scary face. His cheeks were thin, covered with scars, he had no eyebrows or beard, and his pair of green pupils shone with an evil light, making him look extremely terrifying.

And his identity is none other than one of the four Dharma Kings of the Qingtian Sect, who is as famous as Dongfang Mingyue of the Zilong Hall and Nangong Ji of the Tianying Hall, the Palace Master of the Qingfu Palace, and the Qingfu Dharma King Bei Hanzhong.

"What's going on with Jiang Che? Why did he break up with Ji Changsheng? What I want is to let Ji Changsheng and Jiang Che stand on the same front." A dry and hoarse voice came out of Bei Hanzhong's mouth.

It was like two pieces of dry bark rubbing against each other, and the sound was even a little sharp.

Xu Qiuyue quickly knelt down in front of the Green Bat Dharma King:

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. Your Majesty, please forgive me."

Ever since the Xu family successfully stood on Ji Changsheng's side, the Qingtian Sect has been secretly supporting Ji Changsheng, but unfortunately, the Qingtian Sect's strength is still somewhat visible.

In addition, for fear of being discovered by the Heiya and Xiuyiwei people, he never dared to fully support Ji Changsheng. Besides, Ji Changsheng was inferior to Ji Changqian and Ji Changzhi in all aspects.

This has led to a lack of progress.

However, the Qingtian Sect’s focus is not entirely on it.

After Jiang Che entered the capital, Bei Hanzhong's plan changed. He wanted to let the Xu family get involved and plan for Ji Changsheng and Jiang Che to join forces, as long as they could stand on the same front.

Then, they would have something on Jiang Che.

If necessary, as long as they are willing to abandon the Xu family, they can drag Jiang Che into the water and accuse him of having secret dealings with the Qingtian Sect, which is what the emperor fears the most.

He thought he could easily drag Jiang Che into the water, but he didn't expect that after waiting for a few days, he heard rumors that Jiang Che and Ji Changsheng broke up and even had a deep grudge against each other.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

Bei Hanzhong asked in a deep voice, not caring at all about Xu Qiuyue's pleas for mercy.

"Your Majesty, I had already been preparing for this, but Ji Changsheng was a hopeless case. He listened to the slander of his advisers and wanted to force Jiang Che to submit.

Not only did he fail to achieve his goal, but he also created enemies. Ji Changsheng's mother was also confused and wanted to force him to abdicate herself.

But later it angered Jiang Che, so..."

Xu Qiuyue looked helpless. She had advised Ji Changsheng before not to be so hasty. To win over a top talent like Jiang Che, one needs to take it slow.

But the problem is that she has been with Ji Changsheng for only a short time and does not have the decisive say yet.

This led to such a change.

After the accident, it was almost impossible for her to make amends, because Ji Changsheng and his mother not only did not reflect on their own attitude, but also blamed Jiang Che for being impolite.

They don't even look at what time it is.

At the crucial moment of the fight for succession, he was still acting on impulse.

After listening to Xu Qiuyue's story, Bei Hanzhong frowned:
"Is Ji Changsheng really that stupid?"

"He is not stupid, he is stupid and does not know it. He has no decisiveness. Other people's suggestions can easily make him change his mind and waver." Xu Qiuyue whispered.

"So, the opportunity to pull Jiang Che into the water was missed in vain?"

Bei Hanzhong's tone was slightly cold.

Xu Qiuyue pursed her lips, with some fear in her eyes, and quickly raised her head and said:
"I have heard that Jiang Che is a lecherous person. If I can seduce him with my sex appeal, coupled with the taboo of my status as a prince's consort, maybe... maybe there is still hope of getting him to join the game."

"Stupid. Although Jiang Che was born in an ordinary family, he has a strong character. Otherwise, he would not have reached the point where he is respected by the Holy Church. How could he be easily seduced by beauty?
What's more, you are just an average-looking person, not stunningly pretty, how can you win Jiang Che's heart? I'm afraid that if you seduce him, it will only make him more alert."

Bei Hanzhong immediately scolded him coldly.

In his eyes, anyone who can make a name for himself in the martial arts world would not be greedy for beauty, especially a peerless genius like Jiang Che, the chance of this happening is very slim.

"My subordinates are stupid, my subordinates are stupid"

Xu Qiuyue seemed to be very afraid of Bei Hanzhong and begged for mercy quickly.

“Forget it. Since we can’t persuade Jiang Che to join us, let’s just leave it at that. I have another task for you to do.” Bei Hanzhong waved his hand with an impatient look on his face.

Xu Qiuyue breathed a sigh of relief and nodded repeatedly:
"Please give your instructions, His Majesty."

“After you return, inform your father and have him contact a group of officials to build momentum in the capital and guide the court to negotiate peace with the Northern Barbarians. This must be done no matter what method is used.

If you can't do that, you can go to the Green Bat Palace and feed my demon bats."

Bei Hanzhong said coldly. "Talk about peace?"

Xu Qiuyue raised her head, eyes full of disbelief.

Originally, she thought that the peace talks between the imperial court and the Northern Barbarians would be a very uncomfortable thing for the Qingtian Sect, and they must do everything they can to obstruct it.

After all, once the imperial court has time, the first thing it will deal with is the Qingtian Sect.

But what's going on now?

Could it be that the Green Bat Dharma King is an undercover agent of the imperial court?
"What? Do you have any objection?"

Bei Hanzhong's indifferent eyes fell on Xu Qiuyue.

"No, I dare not."

Bei Hanzhong stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the darkness ahead:
"This matter concerns the great plan of our Holy Church. You don't need to know the whole story. You just need to do it."

Except for the Northern Barbarians and a few high-ranking officials of the Qingtian Sect, few people knew that the Northern Barbarians' peace talks were actually just a cover. Even the Northern Barbarians' little prince's visit to the capital was just a cover.

The real situation is that the Qingtian Sect has reached an agreement with the Northern Barbarians.

That is to take advantage of the court's urgency for peace talks and make the court withdraw its troops from the northern border. As long as the court mobilizes its troops to leave, the number of strong men will drop sharply.

Then the Qingtian Sect would suddenly take action and help the Northern Barbarians' cavalry to break through the northern border, allowing the Northern Barbarians to move south to the Central Plains. In this way, the imperial court would be in chaos, and the Qingtian Sect could take the opportunity to raise an army in the south.

In this way, great things can be accomplished.

However, this kind of thing is not a simple matter. The most important thing is not to arouse the suspicion of the court and Ji Chengdao, otherwise, all previous efforts will be wasted.

It is for this reason that, when the northern barbarian envoys came to court, they would make the unreasonable demand that the court hand over important border towns. Their purpose was to prepare for the subsequent tug-of-war.

In the Battle of Yanglongtan, even if Jiang Che was defeated by Zagumu, the Northern Barbarian envoys would still stay in the capital for some time and constantly retreat their bottom line.

Finally achieve the real purpose.

Deploy troops at the border!

This is the truth of everything.

"Yes, I understand. I will tell my father all the instructions from the King of France." Xu Qiuyue didn't know the specific situation, but she also knew the key.

If you are not careful, you may be crushed to pieces.

But, as a disciple of the Green Bat Palace, she had no choice.

"Brother Jiang, do you want some natural treasures?"

At the Dengxian Tower, just when Jiang Che was about to leave, Lu Jieyun suddenly approached Jiang Che. After a brief chat, the first thing he said was shocking.

Jiang Che was stunned on the spot.

After a few moments of silence, he suddenly said:
"Brother Lu, are you confused?"

Lu Jieyun shook his head:

"Lu just wanted to give Brother Jiang an opportunity."

Jiang Che stared into the other person's eyes for a few breaths. Seeing that Lu Jieyun didn't seem to be joking, he immediately said:

"I hope Brother Lu can speak frankly."

Lu Jieyun glanced around and quickly raised his hand to set up restrictions around him, looking a little mysterious. Then he continued:

"This matter concerns our lives. It's not that I don't trust Brother Jiang, but this matter needs to be kept secret. Can Brother Jiang swear a vow to protect his inner demons first? Of course, I will swear first."

Having said that, he immediately swore a blood oath in front of Jiang Che, promising not to reveal any information about the matter, and even if it was exposed later, Jiang Che would not be implicated.

Jiang Che was a little hesitant at first, but seeing Lu Jieyun was so serious, he decided to listen to what the other party meant by opportunity, and then he also swore a blood oath.

"Now, Brother Lu, can you tell me?"

"Please allow me to keep you in suspense for a moment and ask one more question. Does the senior Chixue next to Brother Jiang still have the combat power of a late-stage Divine Aspect? This is of great importance."

Lu Jieyun suddenly asked.

Jiang Che narrowed his eyes. He was not surprised by this. Many people knew that the Red Blood Demon Lord was following him, especially Nan Yue and his group. It had already been known by those who were interested.

Even Ji Chengdao was very sure before, so it was no wonder that Lu Jieyun knew it.

But what does this have to do with strength?
Could it be that without the strength of the late stage of the statue, it is impossible to participate in this opportunity?

After thinking for a while, he nodded slightly:
"Senior Chixue still has the fighting power."

This is of course a lie. Due to the limitation of his physical body, the Red Blood Demon Lord can only exert the strength of the Dharmakaya level at most, unless Jiang Che can find a suitable physical body for him.

But he is also surrounded by powerful people in the late stage of the statue.

Zhao Xianzhi can be transferred at any time.

"That's good." Lu Jieyun breathed a sigh of relief. He took a huge risk to be honest with Jiang Che. If the other party did not meet his requirements, he would suffer a great loss.

Fortunately, his bet was right.

"Go ahead."

“To be honest, the opportunity that I invited Brother Jiang to talk about is actually referring to those Northern Barbarian envoys. I have already received accurate information that these envoys are hiding a large amount of cultivation resources.

There are also several kinds of natural treasures, such as the Hundred-Year-Old Divine Lotus, the Nine-Flower Fairy Dew, and the Yin-Shen Wood."

As Lu Jieyun spoke, he was still staring at Jiang Che's expression.

"Brother Lu, are you lying to me? How could the Northern Barbarian envoy have these things on him?" Jiang Che was a little suspicious. After all, these things were very precious.

Let’s not talk about whether the Northern Barbarian envoy had it or not. Even if he did, how did Lu Jieyun know about it?
"I can swear that I am not lying. As for the source of the information, it is too important and I cannot reveal it. But you have to believe me, Brother Jiang.

I can swear in blood that I will never lie."

Lu Jieyun said in a deep voice, with a serious look on his face.

Of course, in fact, he did not lie at all, because all the information came from his memory. It was also for this reason that he joined the court, just to be close to the water and investigate the matter.

Jiang Che was half-believing and half-doubting Lu Jieyun's words, and there was some hesitation in his eyes at this moment. The kinds of natural treasures that Lu Jieyun mentioned, such as the Jiuhua Fairy Dew and the like.

He really doesn't need it now, but Jiang Che is not sure whether it will be needed in the subsequent sacrifice.

"Isn't this too dangerous?"

Jiang Che said suddenly.

Seeing Jiang Che's hesitation and unwillingness to take action, Lu Jieyun gritted his teeth:

"As long as Brother Jiang is willing to join forces, I can tell Brother Jiang a secret to control Ji Changsheng and his mother."

Jiang Che's eyes lit up and the corners of his mouth curled up:
"Brother Lu, let's plan what to do."
