Two Realms: Don't call me evil!

The three great monks of Tantric Buddhism raided Qingzhou Firefly Sea, and Su Jieli of Guiling Palace killed two great monks.

Afterwards, Su Jie led his people on a raid on the Western Regions from the Chiyao Immortal Palace, and killed the last great monk Batu Gu in one fell swoop, completely destroying the Tantric Buddhism that had ruled the Western Regions for hundreds of years. Not a single person was left alive in the entire sect, and Vulture Peak was dyed red with blood.

When this series of news reached the Dali Dynasty, it was like a meteorite hitting the earth, causing an uproar in the Dali Dynasty and shocking the world beyond words.

Any cultivator knows the value of a Purple Mansion cultivator. It is impossible to even meet such a cultivator once, let alone his death. He is the one standing at the pinnacle of the Dali Dynasty.

The death of any Purple Mansion monk would shock the world and cause changes in the situation. But now three Purple Mansion monks have died, and Tantric Buddhism has also been destroyed. The impact it has on people is extremely great.

……

Dali Dynasty, North, Jinzhou, Tianfeng Mountains.

A huge city wall stretching for thousands of miles winds along the border, like a giant dragon lying down, nestled between the mountains.

Tianfeng Mountains is the largest mountain range in the north, with rugged and complex terrain and continuous peaks.

To the south of the Tianfeng Mountains, the land is still mainly hilly. There are some military settlements here to develop water conservancy and farming, but there are not many civilian villages.

Due to the border raids by the Divine Eagle Empire, a large number of people suffered from the war and were either killed or abducted by the Divine Eagle Empire and became slaves. Those who survived joined the fleeing team and did not dare to stay in Jinzhou.

Separated by a mountain, to the north of the Tianfeng Mountains is an endless grassland.

At first glance, the green grass looks like a carpet, stretching to the end of the blue sky and white clouds.

Jinzhou is the front line between the Dali Dynasty and the Divine Eagle Empire. In order to guard against the Divine Eagle Empire, the Dali Dynasty spent a huge amount of money to build the Yulong Pass more than 500 years ago. This is a huge city wall that stretches for thousands of miles. It is actually a large formation composed of multiple sets of formations, and it is extremely powerful.

However, the maintenance of Yulong Pass consumes a huge amount of spiritual materials and spiritual stones. It needs to be repaired and maintained every year, consuming a large amount of spiritual materials and spiritual stones.

Over the years, the Dali Dynasty has been declining, and the allocation of spirit stones to Yulong Pass has been continuously reduced, which has also caused the maintenance of Yulong Pass to be unfavorable. The formations at many nodes have fallen into disrepair, and there is a lack of spirit stone reserves as energy for the formations.

The Divine Eagle Empire was often able to find a loophole, bypass Yulong Pass to enter Jinzhou, plunder everywhere in the Dali Dynasty, and then escape afterward, committing numerous bloody crimes.

At this moment, on the top of the main peak of Yulong Pass, a figure stood there. The cold wind on the top of the mountain blew his clothes. His eyes were deep, as if he could see thousands of miles away. He was Zhang Qingcang, the director of the Sky Patrol Department.

During this period, because of the large-scale changes in the Divine Eagle Empire, he, as the chief of the Sky Patrol Department, came to Yulong Pass to take charge.

In fact, Zhang Qingcang had already guessed that the unusual movement of the Condor Empire was most likely just a feint, and its purpose was probably related to the actions of Tantric Buddhism.

"Master, are you listening to me?"

A voice came from behind, revealing a hint of helplessness.

Zhang Qingcang put his hands behind his back, turned around, and with a hint of surprise on his calm face, he looked at the deputy director Xiao Wenshan in front of him and asked, "So, Su Jie is a mid-stage Purple Mansion cultivator?"

In front of Zhang Qingcang stood a middle-aged scholar with a black sword on his waist. This was Xiao Wenshan, deputy director of the Sky Patrol Department. He had hurried back from Qingzhou and came to Zhang Qingcang specifically to report the situation.

Xiao Wenshan smiled bitterly, recalling the scene of Su Jie fighting against the three great monks in the Firefly Sea, and swallowed his saliva and said, "Master, it is exactly as you said, this devil Su Jie is not only a mid-stage Purple Mansion cultivator, but also has strength far beyond the normal limit.

His Blood Sea Devouring Demonic Art is too profound, and no one knows how he cultivated his innate divine body. The strength of his physical body is rarely seen in the world, and he has many treasures in his hands, so he is incredibly powerful in a fight.

To be honest, even if I were to fight this devil, I would have no chance of winning. His talent is too amazing."

Xiao Wenshan is a cultivator in the middle stage of Purple Mansion. Anyone who can cultivate to the Purple Mansion realm can be said to be a dragon among men. Since childhood, they are often regarded as geniuses and immortal seedlings by others.

However, after witnessing Su Jie's fight with his own eyes, Xiao Wenshan said that Su Jie's talent was far superior to his own. It is conceivable how much shock Su Jie brought to Xiao Wenshan.

"That's really amazing. It seems that our Dali Dynasty is full of talented people and has successors!"

Zhang Qingcang was filled with emotion. He had not expected that Xiao Wenshan was originally sent to Qingzhou in order to seize the opportunity and secretly help Su Jie resist the threat of Tantric Buddhism. At the very least, he had to bring Qin Yushang back safely. However, the news Xiao Wenshan brought back obviously surprised him. Su Jie had dealt with his opponent by himself, and it was a one-sided victory.

After hearing this, Xiao Wenshan rubbed his temples with a headache: "Master, Su Jie is a demon, and we still have a wanted order for him. How do we know if there is a successor? In this troubled time, a demon like Su Jie has appeared. The situation in the world has become more confusing and unstable."

"You're wrong. The destruction of Tantric Buddhism will save us a lot of energy. Without those bald donkeys to check and balance us, this is a good thing!"

Zhang Qingcang shook his head, a smile appeared on his face, and said: "How to consider dealing with Su Jie is the royal family's business. We just need to do our job as the Sky Patrol. It's not easy to keep an eye on the Condor Empire, and the court won't allocate funds. As for the wanted order you mentioned, I think it might be revoked."

"Revoke?"

Xiao Wenshan was stunned for a moment, then seemed to understand something and showed a thoughtful expression.

…………

Five hundred miles north of the Tianfeng Mountains, a stretch of tents appeared on the grassland.

A banquet was being held in a golden tent in the central area.

Sitting on the main seat was a sturdy man wearing a dark golden robe.

His neck, arms and back were all engraved with totemic patterns. His slightly yellowish hair was braided into small pigtails beside his ears, and at the end of the pigtails were tied miniature, finger-sized human skulls. These skulls were almost entirely golden, with only two exceptions, which were purple-gold in color.

These golden skulls are of great origin. Each one of them is from a powerful warrior in the Daotai realm. After being beheaded, their heads were softened and shrunk using secret methods and became trophies.

In the Condor Empire, the monks here show off their enemy's skulls. After defeating a powerful enemy, they hang the human skulls on their braids to show their military power.

The more human skulls there are and the stronger the skulls are, the more it proves the level of combat power.

The skulls are also divided into different colors according to the enemy's strength when they were alive. A golden skull means the Daotai realm, and a purple-gold skull represents the Zifu realm.

The burly man sitting in the main seat in front of him had more than twenty golden skulls and two purple-gold skulls in his braids, which meant that at least twenty Daotai realm masters and two Zifu realm masters had fallen at his hands.

"Your Majesty, Tantric Buddhism has been completely destroyed. Their actions have completely failed."

A spy who returned from the Dali Dynasty knelt on the ground and told the most explosive news in the Dali Dynasty.

"This bunch of thieves are really useless. We came here to harass Yulong Pass to cover for them, but in the end we couldn't even deal with a Guiling Palace."

The man called the Dharma King had a grim expression and a hint of viciousness in his eyes. He slammed the table so hard that the emerald ice crystal table, which even a secret monk could hardly leave a scratch on even with his best efforts, instantly shattered into pieces.

The originally lively atmosphere at the scene suddenly became quiet, and the chiefs from various tribes on the grassland were silent.

The Condor Empire is an alliance system. The major tribes retain a certain degree of freedom, but they also need to respond to the call of the central Condor Empire and engage in a series of things such as priests, wars, tributes, recruiting people, etc.

There are five Dharma Kings in the Divine Eagle Empire, each of whom is a powerful being in the Purple Mansion. There is also a God King, who is the common ruler of all the Divine Eagle Empire and the most powerful being in the Purple Mansion Realm.

The Dharma King Bater in front of them is one of the five Dharma Kings, and the chief of them. He has a capricious and tyrannical temperament, and his moods are unpredictable. Everyone is afraid of bringing bad luck upon themselves.

"Who is this Su Jie? After all, there are three Purple Palaces in Tantric Buddhism. Even if there is some water in it, it is not something that he can deal with with just one Purple Palace!"

Someone hesitated for a while and spoke cautiously.

"It is said that Su Jie is actually a mid-stage Purple Mansion cultivator. He also has a top-grade Nine-Refined Gu worm and a ninth-grade evil spirit, both of which have combat power no less than the Purple Mansion level. This led to the defeat of Tantric Buddhism and the destruction of the entire sect."

The spy immediately gave an answer and told the details he had found out.

hiss!
Hearing this, everyone present, except Battelle, took a deep breath.

"If the Purple Mansion cannot become a heavenly palace, it will ultimately be nothing. If Su Jie appears in front of me, I will use his head to make wine."

Bater snorted coldly. He was a genuine late-stage Purple Mansion cultivator and believed that he could destroy three Purple Mansions by himself.

Although there are only three realms in the Purple Mansion Realm, namely Purple Mansion, Upper Dan and Heavenly Palace, unlike the Yunling Realm which has ten levels, the Secret Treasury Realm which has five levels and the Daotai Realm which has seven levels, the gap between each realm in the Purple Mansion Realm is so different that they cannot be compared.

"In front of the Dharma King, the devil Su Jie naturally cannot be violent." "That's right, it's just that the bald donkeys of the Tantric Buddhism are too bad. If it were our Condor Empire, his Guiling Palace would have been destroyed more than ten times."

"Su Jie is only a mid-stage Purple Mansion demon cultivator. How can he be compared with Dharma King Bater? If he were Zhang Qingcang, the chief of the Sky Patrol Department and the number one expert of the Dali Dynasty, he would be more suitable."

The tribal chiefs present were all flattering and courteous.

"You mean I'm not as good as Zhang Qingcang?"

Bater looked at the tribal chief who had just spoken with cold eyes.

"No... No, how dare I..."

The minister and the clan leader realized that he had said the wrong thing and felt a pang in his heart.

But before he could finish his explanation, Bartel had already reached out his hand.

The void shook, and the upper body of the tribal chief who had said the wrong thing exploded, with bones, flesh, and internal organs splattering, leaving only two legs left in place. His upper body completely disappeared, and even his soul was shattered by a palm.

"I'm not as good as Zhang Qingcang, so why would I be afraid of him?"

Battelle's ferocious gaze swept across the entire audience. Everyone was terrified and hurriedly lowered their heads, like frightened quails.

"Remember, I, Bater, will never be inferior to anyone in my life, even if that person is called Zhang Qingcang."

In the golden tent, only the roar of Battelle echoed
...............

In the Dali Palace, a celebratory palace meeting is taking place.

Emperor Wei Sheng attended the event in person, along with a number of ministers, high-ranking officials, and prominent families and dignitaries. The entire celebration was grand in scale, a rare occasion for the Dali royal family in recent years.

Because today is the day when Princess Wei Yushuang of the Dali royal family was promoted to the Purple Mansion, and a celebration is being held specially for her.

Originally, the atmosphere was extremely lively and peaceful. The addition of a Purple Mansion cultivator to the Dali royal family after so many years was of vital importance to the Dali royal family and could greatly stabilize the shaky situation of the royal family. Therefore, Wei Sheng held a grand ceremony and announced it to the world.

This celebration not only invited dignitaries from all sides, but also many large sects. Some of these sects even had Purple Mansion ancestors in charge. These sects also sent important personnel, and most of them were masters of the Daotai realm, giving enough face to the royal family.

However, this joy disappeared with the arrival of urgent military intelligence, and was replaced by a gloomy face.

"Ghost Ridge Palace destroyed the Tantric Buddhism. The Blood Demon Patriarch Su Jie killed the three great Purple Palace Divine Monks and occupied the Western Regions..."

Following the narration of the secret agent, the ministers and high-ranking officials present at the scene, as well as the prominent families and children of the rich and powerful in Dali City, including those from various large sects, all turned pale and were dumbfounded.

"One family, three purple palaces."

Countless people felt dry mouth and were shocked after hearing that Su Jie, Wedding Dress Ghost and Thousand-Handed Centipede all had the combat power of Purple Mansion.

Standing next to Wei Sheng was a beautiful woman wearing golden body armor, her curvy figure could not be concealed, her facial features were bright and beautiful, and she looked extraordinary and heroic.

This is the protagonist of today's banquet, the eldest princess of the Dali Dynasty, Wei Yushuang.

"Father, the Guiling Palace has become very powerful. I am willing to go to the south to guard it in person to prevent the Guiling Palace from continuing to expand northward."

Wei Yushuang had a serious expression on his face and took the initiative to bring up this matter.

With the help of the dragon-catching technique, she took the royal secret skill "Dragon-Suppressing Heavenly Net" one step further and successfully advanced to the Purple Mansion Realm.

After going through untold hardships to finally achieve the Purple Mansion, she suddenly heard the news that there were three Purple Mansions in Guiling Palace and that Su Jie himself was a mid-stage Purple Mansion cultivator. She originally had a little pride in her heart for being promoted to the Purple Mansion, but this thought was instantly wiped out.

"No."

However, Wei Sheng shook his head and refused without even thinking. Wei Yushuang was the jewel in the crown of the Dali royal family, and now she had been promoted to the Purple Mansion Realm.

There are three purple palaces in Guiling Palace. Wei Yushuang is going to the south alone to take charge. Once Su Jie goes crazy, Wei Yushuang will never come back.

"But the Guiling Palace now occupies the three southern states and has destroyed the Tantric Buddhism to rule the Western Regions. If we don't stop it..."

Wei Yushuang frowned. The Guiling Palace was extremely powerful, far more powerful than Tantric Buddhism. Once it swept across the world, the rule of the Dali Dynasty would be in jeopardy.

"Your Majesty, now that the Guiling Palace has become too powerful to be eliminated, it is better to adopt a policy of appeasement and wait until you have time to slowly resolve this demonic threat."

At this time, a minister suddenly spoke up and gave a suggestion.

Many ministers' eyes lit up. They were also afraid that Guiling Palace would go north. The other party was a demon cultivator with cruel and ruthless methods. Once Guiling Palace took over, their current good life would be over.

"Your Majesty, I think so too. Guiling Palace is now a scourge. We should not confront it head-on. A gentle approach is the right thing to do."

"The demon cultivators are a group of guys who only know how to kill people and practice martial arts. They don't know how to govern a country. If we delay any further, they might have uneven distribution of benefits, internal strife, and kill each other. By then, we can take back the southern land without wasting a single soldier."

"Our Dali Dynasty has existed for thousands of years. Guiling Palace is only a temporary threat. We should temporarily recruit them and treat them with benevolence so that they will understand your majesty's kindness. In the future, when the royal family grows stronger, Guiling Palace may become a hunting dog and a vanguard for the king."

One after another, the ministers spoke out enthusiastically, and all of them supported the strategy of recruiting the emperor.

Wei Sheng's expression changed. In the end, he hesitated for a while on the choice between face and substance. Considering that the Dali Dynasty could not withstand more storms, he weighed the pros and cons and finally gritted his teeth:

"Issue an order to announce to the world that Su Jie has made merit in destroying Tantric Buddhism and redeeming his sins. I am very pleased. I hereby appoint Guiling Palace as the Southern Garrison, cancel all warrants for Su Jie's arrest, commend him as the Great General of Protecting the Nation, give him the title of the First-Rank Sage, and confer him the title of King Qing, making him a relative of the country."

When these words were spoken, everyone in the room was shocked.

Even the minister who had made the suggestion just now felt his heart tremble and his eyes complicated when he heard the word "king".

Being crowned a king is extremely rare in the Dali Dynasty. It is a great honor, and it is a title that countless ministers and dignitaries have been seeking but unable to obtain!
But with three purple palaces in one family, the Dali royal family must be crowned king!
What if we fail to appease them and the enemy attacks Dali City directly?

By then, these ministers would have had a hard time making ends meet. No matter whether Guiling Palace could capture Dali City or not, once this happened, even if it failed, it would severely damage the Dali Dynasty and completely seal the coffin of the Dali royal family, breathing its last breath. No one wanted this to happen.

Not to mention, if Guiling Palace really captures Dali City, given the demonic cultivators' style and methods, the lives of ministers and dignitaries like them will certainly not be as easy as they are now.

Wei Yushuang bit her red lips and suddenly felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

She originally thought that by achieving the Purple Mansion Realm, she could save the collapsing empire, but hearing this news was like a wake-up call.

She suddenly realized that even if she achieved the Purple Mansion, there was still a limit to what she could do. At least in front of the Guiling Palace, her strength was far from enough, and she still had to make many helpless and compromises.

Some of the sect monks at the scene looked at Wei Sheng with strange eyes when they heard his words.

They were all Daotai realm cultivators, some were sect leaders, some were supreme elders, and they were all knowledgeable people, but they had never seen such a thing as a sect leader being crowned as a king.

In the Dali Dynasty, the sects have always been the target of vigilance and suppression by the Dali royal family.

It is said that heroes use force to disrupt prohibitions, not to mention the sects that wield powerful military forces. They are born with the ability to disrupt the government and establish their own regime.

For a sect that was once vigilant by the Dali Dynasty, Su Jie of Guiling Palace was now crowned king. This was a rare honor, but most sects did not care about it.

Apart from the nice title, the Dali royal family will not give any practical benefits to the king. What these sects really care about is the powerful strength of Guiling Palace.

There are three Purple Mansions in one sect. There is no other sect in the Dali Dynasty that has so many Purple Mansion cultivators.

It is almost impossible to have two Purple Mansions in one family. Even the Sky Patrol Department only has two Purple Mansions now. Of course, Zhang Qingcang, the world's number one master, is not comparable to ordinary Purple Mansion cultivators.

Everyone knows that after destroying the Tantric Buddhism and being crowned a king, and with three purple palaces in his family, from today on, the name Su Jie will be truly famous throughout the world, and everyone will know it. (End of this chapter)
