Advance the future and become a martial saint on earth!

Chapter 213 The Heavenly Blade lineage rises from a sect to a true master, taking charge of a prefecture! Witness the scenery of Baiyujing?

At this moment, standing in front of the Three-Five Slaying Evil God's Mansion and the Earth Dragon Cave in Anning County, Qin Shouhu took out an ancient and simple token, which instantly revealed a corner of the 'Northern Cang Prince's Mansion'.

When Marquis Bei Cang took a closer look and saw the group of imposing guests in the seats on his left and right, he only glanced at them a few times before his expression changed drastically.

The people at the head of the table were all acquaintances!

Moreover, without exception, they were all renowned figures, known to everyone in Beicang.

On the left, at the head of the table, was Qin Baisheng, the head of the Qin clan.

His eyes were like a deep abyss, he wore a purple-gold crown, and his large red arrow sleeves fluttered. He sat cross-legged as steadily as a mountain. Even if it was just a fleeting scene, it would make people feel a sense of awe and reverence.

Besides.

There are other valve masters as well.

Li valve, Yuwen valve
There are not many people in the world who can be called Martial Saints, but there are also quite a few.

However, a giant of his generation.
However, it can be said that each person is a perfect fit for their role, and even in the capital of the Great Xuan Dynasty, the 'White Jade Capital' where the world focuses its attention and where martial arts heroes are as numerous as fish crossing a river, they are still respectable!
On the right side.

Among the 'Five Orthodox Lineages' of Beicang.

There was a monk and a Taoist priest who stood out prominently.

The monk was dressed in a radiant Buddhist robe, with golden markings between his eyebrows, and his face looked quite young.

The Taoist priest was dressed in a crimson robe, his hair was like the blazing sun, his sideburns were as sharp as if cut by a knife, and his eyes were sharp, as if an inextinguishable true fire was burning in his pupils, making people dare not look directly at him.

The five orthodox traditions.

Not only the martial arts sect, but also the Pure Land and the immortal sects came to spread their teachings!
This was an act that Da Xuan tacitly approved.

In addition, these Buddhist and Taoist lineages come from beyond the heavens, and they will also protect the order of the region, help the regional governors suppress the gates of the realm, and quell the turmoil caused by demons and gods.

Over time, this status was tacitly accepted from top to bottom.

Even without tacit approval, as these Buddhist and Taoist traditions took root, their networks of relationships developed, becoming intricate and complex, with each person intertwined with the other.

Furthermore, the martial arts path of "human immortals" cultivated by martial artists requires that once one becomes a master of Qi cultivation, one must emphasize "the physical body as a raft and the spirit as a bright lamp," and one must cultivate both spirit and body in order to break through the Qi barrier and become a martial saint.

As for the cultivation of the divine soul, even the most prestigious families have always lacked it.

However, Buddhist and Taoist practitioners cultivate in this way, and all kinds of divine elixirs, precious medicines, secret methods, and Taoist books can be exchanged and shared under the guise of trade.

Over time, this situation became a major trend, and even a powerful regional lord could do nothing about it but try to maintain some degree of restraint.

All of this was observed by Marquis Xiao Pingnan of Beicang.

As a Marquis of Daxuan, he was a high-ranking official in the Beicang vassal state, so he was naturally familiar with these people.

You should know that if you compare 'Beicang' to a court.

So how could they manage to get all these important figures to meet one by one?
The Emperor himself convenes the 'Grand Court Assembly' to discuss important matters!
Thinking of this, and recalling Qin Shouhu's actions, Xiao Pingnan frowned, a plan forming in his mind. He immediately stepped forward, his tone serious:

"Lord of the Feudal Lords!"

"I have been ordered to come here to lead Beicang and my elite guards to break into the boundary gate and quell the divine calamity."

"During this period, with the help of the Heavenly Blade Style King Xuan Yang Martial Saint and the Dragon Elephant True Sect Master Xu Longxiang, we successfully destroyed a prefecture and annihilated the 'Three-Five Slaying Evil God Lord,' causing his complete demise!"

"And the 'Three-Five Slaying Evil God Lord' was destroyed by the Heavenly Blade School's Martial Saint Wang Xuanyang. He was the main contributor to this battle. The entire 'Three-Five Slaying Evil God Mansion' fell into the Great Xuan was also his doing. Therefore, he should be credited with the greatest merit."

"Xu Longxiang, the Martial Saint, became a giant in one battle, annihilating all the Ten Divine Generals of the Divine Palace and the armored grass-headed gods, which was also a remarkable achievement."

“This is something that all the state guards under my command can attest to.”

After Xiao Pingnan finished speaking, he immediately changed the subject, looking at Gao Zheng and Ning Buyu, who were panting and looking disheveled under Xu Longxiang's force, and his tone gradually became cold:

"When I infiltrated the 'Great Altar of Heaven', one of the core areas of the Divine Palace, I saw the Ten Generals of the Divine Realm lying in ambush, intending to wipe out the elite of the Dragon Elephant True Sect in one fell swoop."

"When I was confronting that deity, I heard from him that there were two powerful and influential people in Anning County who had secretly conspired with him to divide up the spiritual energy of the 'Boundary Gate'."

"I have come here on orders to oversee all matters, large and small. Now that a divine palace has entered the Great Xuan and been incorporated into the territory of Beicang, this is a matter of great importance and it is normal that it has alarmed everyone in the hall."

"But as the one in charge of this matter in Da Xuan, I also hope to present the facts so that everyone can clearly hear the ins and outs."

"As for whether to incorporate them into the government or educate them afterward, these are matters that the princes' mansions need to consider, but there is only one point."

His tone gradually became more forceful:

"Those who deserve punishment should be punished, and those who deserve reward should be rewarded. We cannot allow mediocre and greedy people to find an opening, nor can we let those who have made meritorious contributions have worked in vain!"

Xiao Pingnan was the first to speak out, setting the tone for the matter.

When the "Earth Dragon Cave Boundary Gate" appeared in Anning County, the Danshan Gao Clan and the Tianshui Sword Sect were the forces that received the dispatch order and were responsible for imposing a great restriction and managing it.

However, the one who commanded the troops, suppressed the divine calamity, and supervised military affairs was Marquis Beicang, Xiao Pingnan!
The former refers to politics, where those who are parachuted into power are those who have paid the price after open and covert struggles.

The latter refers to soldiers, and moreover, they are directly under the jurisdiction of the feudal lords, representing the officialdom and the Great Xuan!

As the person in charge of this major event.

What he reported was something no one could ignore.

therefore
As Marquis Xiao Pingnan of Beicang spoke.

Gao Zheng, the patriarch of the Gao family, and Ning Buyu of the Tianshui Sword Sect, two pseudo-Martial Saints who were suffering greatly under Xu Longxiang's pressure, narrowed their eyes in surprise!

The two men had not had much dealings with Marquis Beicang before, but they were well aware that he had been in Beicang for a long time.

He couldn't possibly be some naive fool who had been to Xuanjing, been granted titles and honors, attended the Grand Court Assembly, met many powerful and influential figures, and personally seen that great cauldron!

Pure martial artists are mostly the leaders of a sect, adhering to the principle of "my heart and actions are as clear as a mirror, and all my actions are righteous", and do not enter the officialdom of the Great Xuan.

Those who were granted the title of marquis for their merits were not merely idle marquises, but were instead regarded as successors by the feudal lords of a province who placed high hopes on them.
Xiao Pingnan's political acumen could not possibly be lacking; otherwise, how could he have gained such high regard from a powerful feudal lord?

Even so, Gao Zheng and Ning Buyu couldn't understand it.

Throughout the conflict, Xiao Pingnan had remained a silent observer, adopting a neutral stance.

Knowing that the two men had connections in the state, and that speaking rashly might offend a powerful elder in Beicang.
However, they still exposed their true colors, clearly standing on the side of Wang Xuanyang and Xu Longxiang!
Why is that?!
The two of them looked at each other with extremely unpleasant expressions.

However, Xiao Pingnan's words pleased Wang Xuanyang, and even Xu Longxiang's cold gaze softened somewhat.

The guests in the hall fell silent, seemingly surprised that the Marquis would speak in such a way.

Even Chen Xuanque looked away from Ji Xiu, her eyes filled with surprise.

In the past, Marquis Xiao Pingnan of Beicang only cared about making meritorious contributions. In the future, when he was promoted to a powerful figure, he might replace him and take over a province. Therefore, he never offended the "Six Clans and Five Orthodox Lineages" and was well aware of the principle of checks and balances.

But why has this situation been broken today?
Others may not know, but Xiao Pingnan knows it perfectly well.

The past is the past, the present is the present!

He chatted with Wang Xuanyang and Xu Longxiang all the way.

Especially Wang Xuanyang.

When the old man heard about his daughter's relationship with Ji Xiu, his eyes lit up instantly. He exclaimed that it was a match made in heaven, even more enthusiastic than when he himself had tried to bring them together.

Over time, they developed a friendship.

Moreover, Xiao Pingnan came from Beicang and knew Wang Xuanyang's background very well.

If Xu Longxiang is considered a giant of his time, he has not yet reached the seventh level of immortality. Although he has condensed the foundation of a human immortal, it is clear to the naked eye that he has no chance of reaching the end.

However, it is not necessarily true that Wang Xuanyang, who was ranked ninth on the 'Young Dragon Stele' before the age of thirty and was a descendant of the ancestral court of swordsmanship.

Maybe give him another thirty years.
Even a giant of his generation might not be able to stop it!
Although this person has had many troubles, he is, after all, Ji Xiu's grandmaster. If anything unexpected happens, Xu Longxiang and I can protect Ji Xiu.

If nothing unexpected happens, it will be just as he predicted.
That would be quite something.

And offending two fake martial saints or something.
That's not worth mentioning.

Originally, with Xiao Pingnan speaking, everything would be settled, and Xu Longxiang, without saying a word, raised both arms, about to give his disciples a chance to vent their anger.
The Qin clan leader, whose eyes were slightly closed, suddenly spoke up: "Lord Marquis, you have had a hard time on this trip. Xuan Yang Martial Saint and Dragon Elephant Giant have also made outstanding contributions. Everyone in the feudal lords' mansions and the regional governors can see this clearly."

"but"

"It's nothing more than the bewitching words of heretical deities. To strip two people who once suppressed heretics and protected the common people of their Upper Three Realms is a bit too frivolous, isn't it?"

"I believe that this is still biased. It would be better to wait for the two to return to Cangdu, conduct a thorough investigation, and then make a decision."

"in addition."

"The loss of a 'divine palace' in Zhonghuangtian is the first time in many years. Once the deities in the Zhonghuang Divine Court recover, they will certainly not take it lightly."

"Especially the Zhou Tian Divine God, who is directly worshipped by the Divine Lord of the Divine Palace, is like this."

Whether this move will bring good or bad remains to be seen.

"Moreover, a prefecture is a vast territory, and the creatures within it are a mixed bag, difficult to educate. It cannot be accomplished overnight. If a riot breaks out, it will surely endanger the surrounding prefectures and counties!"

"Therefore, this clan believes that the feudal lords should issue a recruitment order, and the powerful clans in the state should send people to supervise and recruit the warriors and sects under their jurisdiction to educate the heretics and ordinary people and suppress the turmoil."

"As for the actions of the Xuan Yang Martial Saint, regardless of whether they bring fortune or misfortune, good or bad, the fact remains that he has suppressed the divine calamity."

"He deserves a reward."

Qin Baisheng gathered his bright red sleeves, his tone indifferent:

"But I believe that if the Xuan Yang Martial Saint were to suppress the 'New Mansion,' given the deep-seated hatred between him and Zhong Huangtian, the future would surely be filled with turmoil."

"In that case, it would be more prudent to return to Jiangyin and use this merit to advance from 'school' to 'true sect'. This would also be a way for the Martial Saint to return home in glory, without disgracing him."

These words took an unexpected turn.

For a time, among those guests, quite a few saw Qin Clan speak and echoed his sentiments.

Gao Zheng and Ning Buyu were overjoyed.

The Qin clan truly keeps its word. Although by relying on such a powerful force, they are no different from being vassals, but...
When someone has something to do, they really step up!

Qin Baisheng spoke these words without any emotion, as if stating them plainly.

However, the tone of his words, which conveyed the overwhelming power of the Great Xuan, caused Xiao Pingnan's eyes to furrow slightly.

Wang Xuanyang's face darkened. After carefully examining the guy, he silently marked him.

"Qin Clan?"

"Once I've perfected my Reincarnation Heavenly Technique and ascended to the heavens in one step, I'll settle accounts with you first, and deal with all your damn rules!"

Just as Wang Xuanyang was about to roll up his sleeves and tear off the mask of civility, he figured that if he couldn't stay in Beicang, he could just take his disciples and followers and find another place to live. After all, he had done this before.
The head of the hall, Chen Xuanque, had always been impartial and unbiased. In all matters, big or small, he would listen to whoever had the most opinion among the six clans and five orthodox families.

This time, however, he glanced at Qin Baisheng on the left and spoke:

"The reason why Marquis Beicang has reached this point is that his words must have some merit."

"The Qin clan leader is far away, so let's not say any more. I will soon be setting off for Baiyujing to attend the Grand Court Assembly. At that time, the Beicang region will need your assistance."

"And the Marquis of Beicang is the successor chosen by this vassal state."

"As the person who will oversee the entire Beicang in the future, he will have his own decisions on all matters."

"at least."

"It's clearer than what the Qin Clan Chief knows."

After Chen Xuanque finished speaking, Qin Baisheng's eyebrows gradually furrowed, as if he hadn't expected this lord who was good at navigating social situations to act so out of character today.

Then, the feudal lord slowly rose to his feet:
"in addition,"

"In Beicang, we have always rewarded those who have made contributions and punished those who have made mistakes."

"Since it is a 'prefecture city' conquered by the Martial Saint Xuanyang, how to name it and how to recruit people should naturally be decided by him and his disciples."

"It is understandable that the prefecture should send officials to be stationed there to maintain stability and educate the people, but the priorities should not be reversed."

"Aren't you all powerful clan leaders under the jurisdiction of Beicang, each with your own large fiefdoms?"

Having said that, Chen Xuanque simply flicked his sleeve:

"so."

"After this battle, I believe that the naming of this new mansion should follow the advice of 'Xuanyang Martial Saint'."

"in addition."

"Since he possesses such attainments, his sect should naturally be promoted from a 'school' to a 'true sect' and be responsible for suppressing this newly established prefecture city. This is the opinion personally decided by this lord!"

"Distinguished lords and tycoons..."

"No need to mention it again."

"Wait until the decree for promotion arrives."

"Then you can consider bestowing a title upon yourself, host a grand banquet for the Three Mountains and Five Peaks, and hold a 'True Sect Advancement Ceremony'!"

The words fall!

These powerful clan leaders, who had never seen Chen Xuanque make such a decisive move before, all frowned and became serious.

Could it be that this feudal lord is unaware of the origins of this 'Wang Xuanyang'?

He is no martial saint, but merely an ant or a grasshopper.

However, if one reaches the upper three realms and gains influence, and wants to raise the banner again...
But that will bring trouble!

What will the state government do then?

Just when they were full of complaints.

But then, the lord Chen Xuanque, dressed in imperial robes and exuding extraordinary bearing, suddenly spoke without warning at the last moment when he was about to make a decision, his eyes fixed on the young man beside Wang Xuanyang.

At the same time, his tone was full of admiration:
"We have been apart for three days, and we should look at each other with admiration."

"Previously, I thought you only had the skill of talking to others and were good at winning their favor."

"but now"

"This lord must admit that he is indeed insightful and has the ability to recognize talent."

"Such a Purple Mansion, such a Dao of Qi."

"Boy."

"You have some connections."

“In a little over a year, I will step down as ‘Lord of the Northern Cang’ and go to Xuanjing to join the cabinet.”

"At that time."

Would you like to come with me?

"If you'd like, I can take you to see the scenery of 'Baiyujing'."

These words immediately caused a huge uproar.

Also known as Ji Xiu, from then on, he became famous throughout the state!
How could Chen Xuanque, the lord of Beicang, be so familiar with a young man in his household?!

For a moment, only one thought remained in everyone's mind.

Just what incredible luck did this kid have?!
When did you meet such a person?

No wonder Chen Xuanque's main force of the feudal lords suppressed the orthodox clans and made absolute decisions!
original
It was all because of him!
