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

Chapter 547 Reactions from all parties!

With the Qingtian Sect behind the scenes fanning the flames of Jiang Che's death, it immediately caused a huge uproar across the world. After all, it had only been less than ten days since King Kaoshan's death.

The death of such a peerless figure as Jiang Che once again caused a shock that was definitely not easily imaginable.

Obviously, after the death of the Mountain God King Ji Chengdao, the Qingtian Sect's years of forbearance had finally come to the point of revealing its fangs, and its sudden outbreak attracted huge attention.

Of course, there are many other reasons for this, including the fact that Jiang Che and a powerful Saint Realm warrior died together in battle.

in everyone's mind.

Martial Saints are all in a class of their own.

Only a Martial Saint can deal with a Martial Saint.

This has almost become an iron rule.

Because the gap between a Martial Saint and a non-Martial Saint cannot be easily made up. Even the strongest Yuanshen Master cannot match a strong man who has just entered the Saint Realm.

Yes.

When the news of the death of Jiang Che and the Dragon-Subduing Bodhisattva spread, it immediately caused a huge stir in the martial arts world. Countless people who did not know the specific circumstances almost deified Jiang Che.

That's why.

Many people would curse the stupidity of the court and the incompetence of the emperor.

Such a peerless figure was actually forced to death by the imperial court.

How ridiculous is this?
Under the huge pressure of public opinion, the court responded quickly.

An explanation was given regarding the Jiang Che incident.

Because of the two videos, the court had almost no way to refute it and could only put all the blame on Jiang Che, saying that he had evil ambitions, was secretly accumulating strength, and was colluding with the Qingtian Sect with the intention of rebellion.

However, the emperor valued talents, and because Jiang Che had made great contributions, he was willing to give him a chance to repent, so he asked the Bodhisattva Subduing the Dragon to persuade him. However, Jiang Che was stubborn and refused to change his mind.

Resisting the imperial court led to tragedy.

In fact, at the beginning, Ji Wenhao felt a little sorry about Jiang Che's death, and he didn't want to publicize the matter too much. He would rather make a big thing small and let it go.

But they could not withstand the Qingtian Sect's fanning the flames behind the scenes.

Now that things have come to this point, the court and the emperor naturally cannot be wrong. The only one who is wrong is Jiang Che, who is already dead and cannot refute.

To this end, the imperial court also sent Yang Gongsi, a minister from various countries, to take charge of the military and political affairs of Yuezhou in order to suppress possible rebellions and turmoil.

Naturally, it is impossible for people to completely believe the court's explanation.

Yes.

In a short period of time.

The storm of public opinion began to spread again.

In the imperial city, inside the Queen's bedroom.

Queen Xue Bai'er stood in a daze before a portrait, her eyes a little dazed. The person in the portrait was Jiang Che, and the reason she stood like this was because she had heard the news of Jiang Che's death.

at the very beginning.

She didn't believe it.

After all, Jiang Che was really extraordinary. Apart from other things, the fact that he dared to threaten the queen and visit her despite great disapproval was enough to prove how audacious he was.

original.

As Ji Wenhao ignored her, Jiang Che's wisdom warmed her dark heart. She was also disappointed by Ji Wenhao's intention to make Yao Yue the queen, and she fell in love with Jiang Che even more.

He was even prepared to offer his retreat plan when Jiang Che returned.

to this end.

She has been preparing for this period of time, and even has some hidden expectations in her heart.

As a result, it has become what it is now.

Jiang Che is dead
What else can she hope for?
The Xue family guards Tianyuan and is very weak in the Central Plains. She, the queen, seems to have a strong background, but in fact she is weak inside. Her only support is Jiang Che.

But now, her support has disappeared.

"Your Majesty, the Third Prince is coming down."

Suddenly, the voice of a female official was heard from outside the curtain.

"Let him in."

There was no emotion in Xue Bai'er's tone. She slowly put away the scroll in her hand and stuffed it into the secret compartment in the wall.

"Mother, Duke Wu'an is dead. What should I do next?" Ji Changsheng's eyes were full of loneliness.

Originally, with the rise of Buddhism, the Second Prince Ji Changzhi's power had greatly increased, while he and the First Prince Ji Changqian were suppressed, which had long been very difficult for him to accept.

But Jiang Che is still there, so at least he has something to rely on.

but now.

Jiang Che also died.
The Xue family is even less likely to get help. It can be said that as long as the emperor has the idea, the battle for the throne will come to an end, and he will become a useless prince.

Ji Changsheng was very unwilling, but he had no choice.

He could only drown his sorrows in alcohol and seek comfort from his mother.

"Wait."

Xue Bai'er uttered a word.

"Wait? Wait for what?"

A glimmer of hope flashed in Ji Changsheng's eyes.

Could it be that the Queen Mother has a back-up plan to turn the tables?
"Now, what else can we do except wait? Sheng'er, the situation is not in our favor now. The only thing your mother can do is to try every possible means to find a chance to send you away from the capital and to Tianyuan.

With the Xue family protecting you, at least your safety will not be in jeopardy."

Xue Bai'er now had no other choice.

The emperor now respects Buddhism alone. If nothing unexpected happens in the future, the person who sits on the throne will most likely be Ji Changzhi.

"This"

Ji Changsheng widened his eyes, unable to hide his disappointment.

If possible, he naturally did not want to leave the glamorous world of the capital and go to some border area, but in the current situation, it seemed that he only had this choice.

After thinking for a long time, Ji Changsheng exhaled and nodded:

“That’s all it can do”

Beiling Qi family.

As the news of Jiang Che's death spread throughout the world, the Beiling Qi family was also shrouded in a gloom. Many members of the Qi family felt very sorry about this, but the saddest ones were the two sisters of the Qi family.

Because they are Jiang Che's wives
Qi Ningbing was in tears and looked depressed. Her mind kept recalling the past with Jiang Che. Every time she thought of it, she couldn't help but burst into tears.

In comparison, although Qi Wanjun also felt uncomfortable, she was more resilient.

After receiving the news from Jiang Che, he immediately prepared to start his retreat.

Her current cultivation is too weak. Even if she wants to avenge Jiang Che, going to the Buddhist sect at this moment is undoubtedly like a mantis trying to stop a chariot. Only if she possesses the strength of a saint will there be a glimmer of hope for revenge.

However, before Qi Wanjun could go into seclusion, a message was sent down from the upper echelons of the Qi family.

A large number of Qi family disciples immediately began to disperse to the Twelve States of the Central Plains through various channels. Qi Yuan, the ancestor of the Qi family, never returned to the clan since his last departure.

It's not that I don't want to, but I can't.

The Beiling Qi family and Jiang Che are too deeply bound together and have bet too heavily on each other. It can be said that this is a relationship where both prosper and suffer together. If either side suffers a heavy blow, the other side will also be affected.

In order to prevent the Beiling Qi Clan from being wiped out, Qi Yuan could only hide in the outside world as a deterrent. After all, a great and powerful saint in his prime was still very threatening. If the Buddhist sect really dared to take action, he would not be merciful and would eliminate all branches of Buddhism in the Central Plains one by one.

The entire Beiling Qi clan was responding quickly.

"What time is it now? Are you still crying? Is crying useful?" Qi Wanjun frowned. Ever since she got the news about Jiang Che, her brows had never relaxed.

"Sister, it's hard for you. Aren't you uncomfortable?"

Qi Ningbing choked up a little.

"Now is a matter of life and death, not a time for sentimental love. Believe it or not, Sister Xianzhi will not cry all day like you do. The most important thing you should do now is not to feel sad.

Instead, I will try my best to improve my cultivation and find an opportunity to avenge him in the future."

Qi Wanjun said in a deep voice.

Qi Ningbing lowered her head:
"The only thing I regret now is that I didn't leave him a bloodline."

"Don't think of the worst. The news came from the Qingtian Sect and may not be true. My husband is the number one person under the Saint Realm and the most powerful genius in the world.

Maybe he was just trapped somewhere."

"really?"

Qi Wanjun nodded heavily:
"Really, it must be true!"

Lingjian Mountain.

Just as Qi Wanjun expected, Zhao Xianzhi remained silent for half a day after hearing the news about Jiang Che. Then, he made some preparations and chose to go into seclusion.

With the help of Jiang Che, her cultivation is not far from the perfection of her soul, and the holy realm is also within sight. At this moment, she has only one thought.

Breakthrough! Breakthrough!
She wants to become a saint and avenge Jiang Che.

Instead of being sad every day.

Huang Shanshan also had the same idea, but her cultivation level was the lowest and her aptitude was the lowest, so she had almost no hope of becoming a saint. Even becoming a grandmaster was actually very difficult.

However, she is still strong-willed, and her faith in Taoism is becoming more solid, and she hopes to have even stronger power.

Inside the Holy Sea City.

Feng Wuji, who was wearing a tattered Taoist robe, just sighed after hearing the news of Jiang Che's death, but there was nothing he could do because he had already done everything he could.

I thought Duan Yuntian was just that guy.

But after the fight, he found that the opponent was even more terrifying than he had imagined.

There was a reason why Ji Chengdao ranked him third in the world and fourth on the Saint List. If it weren't for his profound foundation and powerful magical powers, he would have found it difficult to escape.

In the end, in order to prevent Duan Yuntian from hunting him down, Feng Wuji came to Shenghai City to seek refuge.

There are only a handful of people in the world who know that the Confucian Sage is still alive, and he is one of them. Although the Confucian Sage was sacrificed to the Heavenly Abyss and only a yang spirit is left, he understands that he was an existence that had proudly stood at the top of heaven and earth hundreds of years ago.

There must be some magical powers left.

Now in the entire Central Plains, the only thing that can make Duan Yuntian wary, apart from Buddhism, is Shenghai City.

The facts were as he expected. Perhaps it was because the deterrence of Shenghai City was too strong, or perhaps he really escaped Duan Yuntian's pursuit. In short, the other party did not catch up with him.

The only person he feels guilty about now is Yao Yue.

The other party placed their hopes on him, but
"Hey"

Feng Wuji sighed lightly and climbed up the cape cliff of Shenghai City silently. At this moment, Mr. Jiang was sitting cross-legged, as if he had expected his coming.

"Junior Feng Wuji pays homage to Senior Confucian Saint."

"Confucian sages are a thing of the past. You can just call me sir." Mr. Jiang waved his hand.

"I thought the gentleman was still asleep."

Feng Wuji forced a smile.

"I was disturbed by that kid Ji a while ago, and I'm no longer sleepy. Now that the world is about to fall into chaos, I can't sleep at all. Sigh."

"Sir, you see it clearly."

Feng Wuji chuckled.

"Who beat you so badly? Was it Ran Chen from the Great Leiyin Temple, or that guy from the Qingtian Sect?" Mr. Jiang looked at Feng Wuji seriously and asked.

Feng Wuji said calmly:
"I thought Duan Yuntian was just overhyped, but I didn't expect he actually had some real skills."

"This person's talent is almost comparable to Ji Chengdao. He is indeed not something that ordinary people can match." Mr. Jiang nodded, as if he was not surprised.

"What if the gentleman takes action?"

Feng Wuji asked curiously.

"Old man? Haha, I am half-crippled now, what strength can I still have? I am just a little bit stronger than the average Martial Saint." Mr. Jiang said with a smile.

Feng Wuji didn't quite believe what the other party said.

After all, he is a legendary Confucian saint.

How could it be possible that the existence that helped the Great Zhou Dynasty to establish its rule over the world was only slightly stronger than the Martial Saint?
However, he didn't want to ask too many questions, he just wanted to ask one thing, so he put on a serious look and said:

"I came here this time to ask you something."

"Go ahead."

"Sir, could you possibly know whether Jiang Che is alive or dead? The people of the Qingtian Sect said that Jiang Che and Jiang Long died together, but why do I always feel something is not right?"

Feng Wuji frowned.

This was the thought that came to his mind after he heard the news of Jiang Che's death, but he was not completely sure, so he climbed up the Haijiao Cliff just now.

"What's wrong?"

Mr. Jiang said with a smile.

“Logically speaking, with Ji Chengdao’s personality, it’s impossible for him not to have anticipated the chaos that would follow his death, and that Jiang Che would be attacked from all sides. But he clearly thought highly of Jiang Che.

How could he face death so calmly? Didn't he have any backup plan?"

This is something Feng Wuji can't figure out.

Mr. Jiang shook his head and said:
"Before Ji Chengdao died, he left a backup plan."

"What is it?"

“Why do you think there is only one Jianglong coming to the Great Leiyin Temple this time? It’s because the Emperor’s Sword is now hanging outside the Great Leiyin Temple.” Mr. Jiang said with a chuckle.

Feng Wuji's eyes widened at first, and then he suddenly realized:
“I see, so that’s why. No wonder I didn’t run into those two old monks, Ranchen and Xumilu. I didn’t expect that I would be stopped by Ji Chengdao.

But if that's the case, doesn't that mean Jiang Che is doomed to die?"

Immediately afterwards, Feng Wuji frowned again.

If Ji Chengdao had a backup plan, then it was obvious that the backup plan he left behind was not enough to completely eliminate the danger for Jiang Che. It can only be said that man proposes, God disposes.
"Maybe so."

Mr. Jiang smiled but said nothing.

It seemed as if he had caught a glimpse of something in his eyes, being able to see some situations from countless miles away. The corner of his eyes subconsciously turned towards the direction of Tianyuan.

His expression was meaningful.

Feng Wuji didn't see this scene, he just kept shaking his head and sighing:

"What a shame!"

----

It's not a deliberate suppression. Everyone just needs to look forward to the protagonist becoming a saint. There will definitely be a surprise then.
