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

Chapter 491 The Martial Saint Compromises!

"The Holy Heavenly Soul Lotus is clearly in your hands, why do you have to go around in circles?"

In the capital city, inside the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion, Imperial Preceptor Yao Yue, dressed in a Taoist robe with a yin-yang fish pattern and a jade pendant hanging from her waist, had a cold expression on her face, her brows slightly furrowed, her gaze fixed on the figure opposite her.

Dressed in a python robe and exuding majesty, he sat there like a mountain supporting the sky. He was none other than Ji Chengdao, the God of Mountains.

Yao Yue was somewhat puzzled by Ji Chengdao's behavior. The Holy Heavenly Soul Lotus was clearly in his hands, but he insisted on asking her to say that it was in the Wuji Palace, and even forced her to make up a lie.

For example, the so-called dragon vein. In the previous battle at Yangping Pass, she had close contact with Jiang Che. How could she not see that Jiang Che had already refined the dragon vein? She said that just for the sake of deliberateness.

Besides this, Ji Chengdao also instructed her to tell Jiang Che that he could ask Ji Chengdao for help in getting the Yin-Yang Taoist Fruit from Tianjian Mountain, which was a bit of a roundabout way.

"It's nothing more than creating more ties between you and Jiang Che. What ill intentions could I have?" Ji Chengdao smiled indifferently, then picked up a black piece and placed it on the chessboard.

“Isn’t that all?”

Yao Yue frowned.

"You have witnessed Jiang Che refine the national destiny dragon vein in the previous battle of Yangping Pass. He is already capable of replacing His Majesty and the eldest prince. If you want to refine the dragon energy, Jiang Che is the most suitable person for you."

Ji Chengdao continued to speak.

"This is my private matter. Why should the God King force it? What's more, even if I do so, what good will it do to Jiang Che?" Yao Yue could see that Ji Chengdao valued Jiang Che very much.

That's why I'm so confused.

Is it necessary for her to deepen her relationship with Jiang Che?

"You have a holy body, and the Taiyin Moon Qi contained in your body is a great medicine for becoming a saint. You need the dragon energy in him, and he needs the Taiyin Moon Qi in you. This is the best of both worlds.

Besides, you have been practicing the ruthless way for two hundred years, and your desires have been suppressed to the limit. If you don’t release them, even if you refine the dragon energy, it will be difficult for you to enter the Five Qis Returning to the Origin realm.”

As soon as Ji Chengdao said this, Yao Yue, who had never shown any expression, suddenly changed her expression. She stared at the unfathomable existence in front of her and said in a serious tone:

"How do you know this?"

Whether it is the energy of the Taiyin Moon or the seven emotions and six desires suppressed in her body, they are her biggest secrets. In the whole world, only Tai Shang knows more about them. How did Ji Chengdao know about them?
"The secret cannot be leaked."

Ji Chengdao pointed at the void, and then he saw that Yao Yue was not interested in playing chess, so he slowly raised his face:
"In fact, you are already leaning towards Jiang Che, right? Otherwise, why would you give the stone talisman to Jiang Che? This is not what the national teacher should do."

Yao Yue stared directly at Ji Chengdao for several breaths:
"You want to tie my Xuantian Wuji Palace and Jiang Che together?"

“This is a bit exaggerated. Since the Taoist sect split a thousand years ago and evolved into Xuantian Wuji Palace and Taishang Bajing Palace, it has long been in decline compared to Buddhism, and Jiang Che has inherited great fortune.

If Xuantian Wuji Palace joins forces with it, it will benefit immensely."

"What's in it for you?"

Yao Yue said coldly.

"You will understand it soon. It is useless to ask now."

"You support Jiang Che and even involve Xuantian Wuji Palace in it. Aren't you afraid that he will rebel in the future and get out of your control one day?" Yao Yue's eyes moved slightly.

Ji Chengdao shook his head:

"I have never controlled anyone. Your realm is too low now. You wouldn't understand even if I told you."

"Pretend to be a ghost."

“King Lu Ben has already pointed it out to you. It’s up to you to decide whether to do this or not. But you don’t have to think about His Majesty. Besides, you hate Ji Wenhao, don’t you?

Otherwise, why would you support Ji Changqian?"

Ji Chengdao's eyes were deep, as if he saw through everything.

Yao Yue was silent for a moment and fell into silence.

"Yingchuan Guo Zixing greets the Marquis."

Although the court has conferred the title of Duke on Jiang Che, the angel has not yet arrived in Yuezhou. Even if the news comes out, Jiang Che still regards himself as a marquis, and Guo Zixing is naturally given such a title.

Ever since he learned that Jiang Che intended to take action, he had already made his own assessment. Unless it was absolutely necessary, he would never have any conflict with Jiang Che, otherwise it would be harmful rather than beneficial to the Yingchuan Guo family.

For this purpose, he even went to visit him in person.

But even so, he was still left alone by Jiang Che for half an hour. But he was the head of a noble family after all, and he still had some skills in cultivating his energy, so he understood that Jiang Che was angry.

To give him and the Guo family a warning.

Looking at the head of the Guo family in front of him, Jiang Che's eyes did not change at all, he just said lightly:

"Patriarch Guo is not practicing in Yingchuan, why is he here?"

"Resolve grudges."

"Grudges? How could Jiang not remember any grudges between him and Yingchuan Guo family? Patriarch Guo, you are being too kind." Jiang Che pretended to be confused even though he knew the truth, and did not show much courtesy to the other party.

In fact, he was originally planning to take action directly, but Guo Zixing asked Wei Changping and Tiannan Gao to intercede, and Jiang Che agreed to meet with the other party.

"Before the battle of Yangping Pass, the Marquis summoned the Guo family to send troops, but I was worried about bringing trouble to the family, so I declined the Marquis's summons. Now I think that Yuezhou is the land of our Central Plains. As a Central Plains person, I have the responsibility to defend the country. Now I really regret it."

Guo Zixing was very humble and confessed directly when he came up.

Not to mention Jiang Che's current power, the terrifying strength of his top three on the list alone is enough to make him bow his head.

"Guo is not regretful, she is just scared."

Jiang Che looked directly at Guo Zixing and said.

"Your Majesty is right. The Guo family is indeed afraid of being liquidated by your Majesty. I hope you will show mercy." Guo Zixing's face was not looking good. Being ridiculed by Jiang Che in front of him, even though he was good at cultivating his qi, he could not bear it.

After all, if you really think about it, he and Qi Zhengnan are peers, but in front of a young man in his twenties, he was ridiculed without any respect.

If someone else sat there, he would definitely not have the same attitude.

"Now that the imperial court is clearing up the underworld and searching for treason, how will outsiders view it if we show leniency to the Guo family?"

"My Lord, my Guo family is definitely not rebellious."

"Really? Do you want me to call Li Xian to confront him?" Jiang Che's eyes suddenly focused, and a bit of murderous aura instantly rose around him. He looked down at Guo Zixing and said word by word:

"The Guo family is colluding with Li Chengguo. I have solid evidence in my hands. To put it bluntly, you Guo family are committing treason and colluding with foreign races. Even if you exterminate your entire clan, you deserve to die!" Guo Zixing's face suddenly changed. He stared at Jiang Che for a few breaths before he exhaled and said:

"This is absolutely slander. Li Chengguo did exchange some cultivation resources from Guo before, but Guo definitely has no intention of rebellion. It's just because of their past friendship."

"Whether someone is guilty or not is not up to Guo to decide."

Guo Zixing naturally understood this logic. Whether or not there was guilt depended entirely on Jiang Che's words. If he said yes, then there was guilt. If he said no, then the Guo family was definitely not guilty.

After a moment of silence, he bowed:
"In any case, it was indeed the Guo family that did something wrong before. I hope that the Marquis can let the Guo family go. As long as the Marquis is willing, Guo will definitely satisfy the Marquis."

"To satisfy me? Hahaha, I'm afraid the Guo family can't afford this price. Besides, do I need you to satisfy me? If you destroy the Guo family, everything will belong to me."

Having said this, the truth has been revealed.

Guo Zixing's face turned pale and blue, sensing that Jiang Che intended to swallow up the entire Guo family. After a moment of silence, he said in a deep voice:
"Why is the Marquis so aggressive? Do you really want both sides to suffer losses?"

"Both sides will suffer losses, and you only have the five grand masters from your Guo family? Haha." A smile appeared on Jiang Che's face, but it was obvious that there was a hint of sarcasm and disdain hidden under the smile.

"The Marquis's divine power is now well-known throughout the world. The Guo family is naturally no match for him, but we are not powerless. Although our ancestor is approaching the end of his life, he still has the strength to fight."

"You want to use the Martial Saint to pressure me?"

Jiang Che's eyes turned cold, and the dragon power around him dissipated instantly. A terrifying pressure suddenly enveloped the entire hall, and even the void was slightly stagnant at this moment.

Guo Zixing, who was enveloped by the pressure, undoubtedly felt it the most deeply. He instantly felt that a great crisis was about to come. Before that, he only knew that Jiang Che had unparalleled fighting power.

But after all, there is no definite concept.

But now, the concept is there.

Even if he thought optimistically, Guo Zixing felt that he would not be able to hold out for half an hour in Jiang Che's hands. His heart sank immediately, and he quickly explained:
"I definitely don't have that intention, but if the Marquis really wants to exterminate the Guo family, I will definitely not remain indifferent. Even if I can't do anything to the Marquis, I can..."

Before Guo Zixing finished speaking, a somewhat old voice came out slowly:

"Champion Hou Shenwei is indeed extraordinary. I admire him."

As soon as these words were spoken, Jiang Che's eyes suddenly focused, and he quickly placed the Qiankun Tower between his sleeves. The atmosphere around him also fell into stagnation in an instant.

Even if the Martial Saint himself came, he was confident that he could hold him back. The worst that could happen was that he would waste the Blood Source Pearl as a sacrifice to the evil spirit. Therefore, he did not seem panicked at this moment.

But when facing a Martial Saint, one still has to be somewhat cautious.

“Marquis Guanjun, don’t panic. I am just a wisp of my spirit here. The holy tower in your hand is enough to suppress me.” Soon, the spirit of the ancestor of the Guo family slowly emerged.

His appearance surprised Guo Zixing, who didn't understand why the ancestor suddenly appeared.

But with his ancestor here, he felt more confident at this moment, and felt that the pressure around him had instantly subsided a lot.

"Ancestor Guo, are you here to warn me?"

Jiang Che spoke expressionlessly.

The old man of the Guo family, with white hair and beard, shook his head slowly:

"That's not the case. I just feel that Zixing alone cannot show his sincerity."

In fact, it was not only Jiang Che who was afraid of the ancestor of the Guo family. The ancestor of the Guo family was also afraid of this divine master who dominated Yuezhou. Of course, what he was afraid of was not Jiang Che's own strength.

But it's his potential and the support behind him.

As everyone knows, the God of Backers King Ji Chengdao looks at him differently and values ​​him very much. In addition, behind Jiang Che stands the old ghost Qi Yuan. If he takes action.

Not to mention whether Jiang Che can be suppressed, even if he can be suppressed, he will inevitably suffer retaliation, and the entire Yingchuan Guo family may be wiped out.

Furthermore, Jiang Che had soared to great heights in just a few years, and was a man blessed with great luck.

In fact, he really had no confidence that he could suppress Jiang Che. Once Jiang Che escaped, even if the people behind him did not take action, it would take a few years for Jiang Che to become a saint.

What can he, an old martial saint with declining energy and almost dead, use to resist?
There is a common saying in the martial arts world that it is better to offend the old immortal than to defeat the new leader.

Jiang Che's potential is unquestionable, but if he cannot be suppressed, he will suffer backlash.

It was precisely because of these considerations that he did not come out to use his power to overwhelm others, but instead negotiated with Jiang Che in a friendly manner. He would only take action if Jiang Che really insisted on taking action against the Guo family.

And now, sensing the powerful aura of the holy weapon between Jiang Che's sleeves, he was even more glad that he did not underestimate Jiang Che before. Otherwise, if they really became enemies, he might not be able to do anything to the other party.

"What will the Guo family use to show their sincerity?"

Facing a Martial Saint, Jiang Che did not dare to be careless at all, because if a real battle broke out, the foundation he had worked so hard to obtain would be depleted. Otherwise, Guo Zixing alone would not be enough to be on equal footing with him.

"I've heard that the Champion Marquis is a straightforward person. Let's not beat around the bush. The Champion Marquis can just state his conditions directly. As long as they are not too excessive, I can agree to them."

Jiang Che knocked on the table, having already made up his mind.

If he could ask the ancestor of Qi family to help, he would definitely be able to destroy Guo family, but the problem was that it was easy to destroy Guo family, but it was difficult to kill the Martial Saint. If the ancestor of Guo family escaped, he would face the threat of a Martial Saint at all times.

Even if the opponent may not be able to do anything to him, it can still bring great pressure to the forces under his command. The best solution is for both sides to resolve their grievances.

"First, Yingchuan Guo family will hand over the evil-repelling thunder heart beads obtained from Li Chengguo. Second, Yingchuan Guo family will take out 100,000 Yuan crystals as compensation. Third, half of the disciples of Yingchuan Guo family will serve under me."

Jiang Che raised his head and looked at Old Ancestor Guo as he put forward his own conditions. Of course, if the other party felt that it was inappropriate, he would still agree, but that would only be a superficial agreement.

But in fact, the grudge has not been resolved.

Just to keep the other party steady.

Upon hearing this, Patriarch Guo nodded without hesitation:
"Okay, let's do as Champion Marquis says."

In fact, when Jiang Che had already established his capital in Yuezhou, Yingchuan Guo family had already intended to serve Jiang Che, not only to exchange peace for the family, but also to bet on Jiang Che temporarily.

As for the 100,000 Yuan Crystals, although they may seem like a lot, they are actually nothing to a thousand-year-old family like the Guo family.

The only thing that made him feel a little painful was the evil-repelling thunder bead.
