Wife, you didn't really drug me, did you?

Chapter 615 Basiba: Old Taoist Zhang, don't push your luck!
When a terrestrial immortal makes a move, it affects the space and time of heaven and earth. At this moment, Zhang Sanfeng clenched his fist, and in an instant, thunder rumbled in the heavens. If he were to make a move, lightning would naturally descend and destroy everything in front of him.

Phagpa also felt the thunder in the sky at this moment. He frowned and looked at Zhang Sanfeng, saying, "Old Taoist, do you really want to fight me to the death?"

Zhang Sanfeng glanced at Phagpa and said, "Why not? But you've been living a life of luxury for so many years, do you still dare to take a risk?"

Phagpa paused upon hearing this, then said, "Good, good, as expected of Zhang Zhenren of Wudang. The power of the Jiazi Demon-Slaying Ceremony is still vivid in my mind."

Zhang Sanfeng looked at Phagpa and said, "Bald monk, stop flattering me, are you going to fight or not?"

Phagpa looked at Zhang Sanfeng and said, "Promise me one thing, and I won't fight!"

Zhang Sanfeng said, "Conditions? They can't be too unreasonable."

"Not at all excessive."

Phagpa spoke up, and Zhang Sanfeng replied, "What are your conditions? Tell me."

Phagpa said, “I know that the will of Heaven is hard to defy, and I also know that the fate of the Great Qian Dynasty is not long, but I hope you will promise me that no matter what happens in the future, you will not be the first to attack Dadu.”

"No, I can't agree to that. Let's fight instead."

"Sir, you're being really aggressive!"

Phagpa frowned, and immediately saw that the sky over there had turned gloomy and cold, with signs of wind picking up.

Zhang Songxi was spitting out noodles with a slurping sound, his eyes wide open. He really was a terrestrial immortal. His every move could actually influence the secrets of heaven. He was simply the favorite son of the heavens. Terrifying, terrifying.

The noodle stall owner next to them also noticed something was wrong. His face turned deathly pale as he looked at Zhang Songxi and said, "This, this..."

Zhang Songxi casually took out a silver ingot and handed it to the noodle stall owner, saying, "Take this money and run. You can forget about this stall."

The noodle stall owner was taken aback. He looked at Zhang Songxi, then at the silver in his hand. This silver had already bought ten of his noodle stalls. Although he didn't know what was going on, he wasn't stupid. He cupped his hands in greeting, and the next moment, he disappeared in a flash.

Watching him disappear from sight, Zhang Songxi put down his bowl of noodles and waited for Zhang Sanfeng's command. If Zhang Sanfeng shouted "Run!", he would definitely run without hesitation. If he was even a step slower, it would be his fault.

Zhang Songxi was prepared to flee at any time.

Meanwhile, the two terrestrial immortals were still testing each other. After a long while, Phagpa was still not prepared for a decisive battle with Zhang Sanfeng. He just sighed and said, "Can't you even agree to this small request?"

Zhang Sanfeng said, “We Han people want to restore our land. Most of it used to be our Yan and Yun lands. You can’t just occupy our land and not return it to us.”

“If you rely on your status as a terrestrial immortal to stubbornly protect Dadu, and no other terrestrial immortal can emerge among the Han people, then I will have no choice but to take action. Otherwise, future generations will not know that this land of Yan and Yun has always been the territory of the Han people, not the land of your Mulan people.”

"Do we have to do this?"

Phagpa looked at Zhang Sanfeng, who said, "One of the purposes of my existence is to understand this point and strive for the restoration of the Han people. This is also the reason why I vanquished demons in the first place."

Phagpa sighed and said, "Alright, if one day the army comes to the city gates, and you attack, regardless of whether we win or lose, you must promise to let the emperor leave, let him return to the grasslands, let him go to the northern desert, and let him go to other khanates without any obstruction. This condition is not too demanding, is it?"

After hearing this, Zhang Sanfeng pondered for a moment and said, "Let's eat noodles, they're all clumped together."

Phagpa glanced at the clear soup noodles in front of him and said, "Then I'll take that as your agreement."

Zhang Sanfeng nodded, and Phagpa picked up his chopsticks and began to eat the clear soup noodles in front of him. As he ate, he said, "You old Taoist priest, I don't have any dietary restrictions, and you only offer me clear soup noodles. You're not being sincere."

Zhang Sanfeng ignored him and watched as Phagpa finished eating the clear soup noodles. Then Phagpa stood up and said, "Alright, since you're in charge today, let's do as you say. Let's all follow the rules. I'm leaving now. Don't forget the conditions you promised me."

As he spoke, a hawk whistle sounded, and the divine eagle flew over immediately. Watching the divine eagle circling in the air, Phagpa lifted his foot and flew directly onto the back of the divine eagle, then flew away into the distance.

Watching the divine eagle fly away, Zhang Songxi said, "It's gone already?"

Zhang Sanfeng had already regained his usual calm demeanor. Zhang Songxi then asked, "Master, is this Phagpa so easy to talk to?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Sanfeng glanced at Zhang Songxi and said, "Hehe, he probably didn't intend to kill Chen Jiu Si in the first place. He might have just forced me to agree to let their emperor leave and go to other Khanates if the Great Qian army was defeated."

"Uh, is that so?"

Zhang Songxi was taken aback, and after thinking about it, it really seemed possible.

"Master, where are we going now? Should we go see that Chen Jiu Si? I'm really curious about how he killed Bo Luo, who was at the fourth level of the Melting God realm!"

Zhang Sanfeng said, "No, let's go back to the mountain."

Zhang Songxi: "Oh, right? I'll go rent a carriage?"

"It's just a short walk; I haven't been out for a spring outing in a long time."

Zhang Songxi still had no objection and said, "I'll accompany Master."

As the two were talking, they disappeared from the spot in the next moment. After a long time, the noodle stall owner ran back in a cowardly manner and hid in the woods for a long time before he was sure that the three people had left.

He returned to his noodle stall, looking at the still-warm pot, still somewhat doubting if he was dreaming, after all, everything that had just happened was indeed too surreal.

An old Taoist priest was having noodles with a middle-aged Taoist. The middle-aged Taoist was greedy and, unlike the old Taoist, did not abstain from certain foods, only eating clear soup noodles. Of course, like the old Taoist, he did not sell the noodles for money. But a magical scene occurred. Not long after he gave the noodles to the middle-aged Taoist, a large eagle flew down from the sky, and a monk jumped off its back.

Then the two started arguing for some unknown reason. The Taoist priest slammed his hand on the table, and thunder roared in the sky. The monk glared at him, and the wind began to blow.

Each of them was as powerful as a god, while the middle-aged Taoist priest was a kind person. Sensing that something was wrong, he gave him five taels of silver.

In the blink of an eye, the three people in front of them disappeared.

What's happening right now feels like a dream. If I were to tell anyone else about what happened today, who would believe me? They'd probably all think I'm a fool or that I'm delirious.

The shopkeeper, still unable to calm down, looked at the five taels of silver in his hand and said, "But this silver is real. I've finally saved enough money to rent a shop in the city and open a noodle shop. With my skills, I can at least make a living. By the way, this noodle shop will be called 'Encountering Immortals Noodle Shop.' Today, I guess I've encountered an immortal!"

The encounter between Zhang Sanfeng and Phagpa truly shocked everyone in the world, attracting even more attention than Chen Jiu's four-stage battle against Boluo. Although Chen Jiu's four-stage battle against Boluo was shocking, everyone with discerning eyes knew that he certainly did not truly possess the power of the fifth stage of the Fusion God Realm, or have truly entered the realm of a terrestrial immortal.

However, the mere appearance of Zhang Sanfeng and Phagpa, two of the top two figures on the Heavenly Ranking, immediately alarmed the entire world. These two were truly capable of influencing the course of events in the world.

Although it is unknown what Zhang Sanfeng and Phagpa said, the final result was that Phagpa rode his eagle back to Dadu, while Zhang Sanfeng walked towards Wudang Mountain.

And this already conveys a great deal of information.

At this moment, the whole world was excited about seeing the two unparalleled masters meet, and everyone was discussing what the two unparalleled masters would talk about.

At this time, in the Qi Prince's residence.

When Li Siqi heard the messenger report that Phagpa was riding an eagle down south of the Yangtze River to kill Chen Jiu Si, he was still very excited. Although Boluo had died in battle, as long as the Great Qian still had the Grand Preceptor, everything would be alright; the pillar of stability was still there.

However, only two days later, news came back that Phagpa had been blocked by Zhang Sanfeng on the way, and they finally met in Fuyang. They did not fight, and it seemed that the two sides had reached some kind of agreement. Phagpa rode his eagle back to Dadu.

Upon seeing this intelligence, Li Siqi's face paled. He exclaimed, "The Great Qian Dynasty is doomed! Even the Imperial Advisor can't kill a single person. Where is the former glory of its days when it roamed the martial world? It seems I should start thinking more about myself!"

Thinking this way, Li Siqi had a different idea. The Great Qian Dynasty was about to fall, but he couldn't fall. He had to think more about himself. If the Great Qian Dynasty fell, he would at least dominate the Northwest. If that didn't work, he would establish himself as king and carve out his own territory!
……

At this moment in Suzhou, Zhang Shicheng looked at the intelligence report in front of him and said, "Now even the 'land gods' have been mobilized. Things are probably not simple."

Upon hearing this, the Japanese man beside him said, "Young Master, this is actually a good thing. It means that the terrestrial immortals have reached some kind of agreement that they cannot intervene. In the past, our Holy Lord doubted whether the agreement of you terrestrial immortals was binding. Now it seems that you are still trustworthy. This makes our matter much easier to handle."

"Easy? Aren't you Japanese afraid that Old Dao Zhang and his group will attack you?"

Zhang Shicheng asked.

Upon hearing this, the Japanese man said, "Heh heh, isn't the young master from the Central Plains? How could Old Taoist Zhang possibly attack someone from the Central Plains?"

Zhang Shicheng was startled by these words and turned to look at the man, saying, "You chose me because of this?"

The man did not answer, but everything was understood without words. If it weren't for the xenophobia of the Central Plains people, the Holy Lord would have been suppressed by them upon entering the Central Plains. They would not have needed to support Zhang Shicheng as a puppet. According to the rules of the Central Plains people, only a Central Plains person can become the king of this land. No matter who wants to occupy this land, they will eventually be driven away or assimilated.

This was true of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, as well as the Liao and Jin dynasties, and now the Great Qian dynasty is also destined to be overthrown by the Han people.

After their investigation, they discovered the ironclad rule that Han lands could only be ruled by Han people, so they decided to support a Han person as their tool for ruling the people of the Central Plains.

Tools rule the Han people, and they rule the tools. In short, is there any logic to this in the world?
Zhang Shicheng finally understood his value: a traitor?
Zhang Shicheng's gaze narrowed slightly. Although he was not a good person, he would never be a traitor. However, he still needed them for now. Chen Jiu Si was at the height of his power, and Zhu Chong Ba was like a jackal, wanting to compete with them for the fat piece of the world. He was not enough for them at the moment.

Thinking about it, Zhang Shicheng fell silent, but asked the Japanese, "What do you think we should do next?"

Upon hearing this, the Japanese said, "Suzhou and Hangzhou are too small. Jiangxi is also quite rich. With the Prince of Ruyang suffering this defeat, he can no longer hold onto the eighty-one prefectures of the five routes in Jiangnan. We can take this opportunity to seize territory."

Zhang Shicheng said, "Won't this anger Chen Jiu Si?"

The Japanese man said, "Hehe, Chen Jiu Si, he must have used some secret technique that consumes his life force. We don't even know if he's crippled or not. He definitely won't be able to resist for a while. If he doesn't react after we take Jiangxi, we'll head straight for Huangzhou Prefecture."

"Let's eliminate this opponent first."

After saying this, Zhang Shicheng nodded and said, "That's fine, but if we take action, the others will probably have to too!"

"Others, you mean?"

"Zhu Chongba!"

On the way back to Haozhou from Shaolin Temple, Tang He asked Zhu Chongba, "Sir, what did Master Kudu say to you?"

Zhu Chongba said, "Master said that Chen Jiusi must have used a secret technique. Such a secret technique is extremely terrifying. I'm afraid only the legendary Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique can have such power. However, once a person uses the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique, they become useless. Therefore, Chen Jiusi is no longer a threat."

Upon hearing this, Tang He said, "There's nothing to worry about. Why would Master Zhang from Wudang come down the mountain to protect him from disaster? Would Master Zhang help a cripple?"

Zhu Chongba said, "Master Zhang blocked Phagpa not for Chen Jiu Si's sake."

Tang He said, "Who is that for? Could it be for us?"

Zhu Chongba said, "If you interpret it that way, there's actually no problem with it."

amount……

Tang He's brain was a bit overwhelmed. Zhu Chongba said, "Master Zhang stopped Phagpa this time not for Chen Jiu Si alone, but for all of us Han people. In other words, he was maintaining a rule that land immortals cannot participate in mortal battles. This is to give everyone peace of mind."

"If in the future we have to constantly guard against attacks from the enemy's Phagpa, who is at the terrestrial immortal realm, then what's the point of Kangqian? Who could withstand that?"

"That's why Master Zhang went down the mountain to stop Phagpa. If Phagpa were to kill Chen Jiu Si, it would mean that the other side's terrestrial immortals could act without restraint, which would be very detrimental to the entire anti-Qian cause. Therefore, we must resist Phagpa."

"Only by protecting Chen Jiu Si can we preserve everyone's fighting spirit against the government!"

As Zhu Chongba spoke, Tang He said, "I see. So what do we do when we get back?"

Zhu Chongba said, "Go back and immediately lead your troops south to seize the territory of the Prince of Ruyang. If we don't seize it now, when will we?"

Upon hearing this, Tang He frowned and said, "Sir, didn't you say that Chen Jiu Si is the anti-Qian banner, and even Zhang San Feng is protected? We're even seizing his father-in-law's territory."

Zhu Chongba said, "Hehe, one thing is one thing, how can they be confused? I can't just hand over this country to him!"
