The Great Ruler: Starting from the Dark Ages

Chapter 29: Storms in Zhongzhou
The news was still fermenting, but ever since the news of the defeat of the Jiedushi of the Shenzhou Dynasty came out, all parties had become much more cautious, and even the large-scale travel had been restrained a lot.

He was a third-level immortal king, and yet he was defeated like this.

Many people have already put their minds at ease and switched to a watching-the-show attitude.

After all, there are still many Saint Lord-level cultivators on the Burial Emperor Star. In this Dharma-Ending Age, they are also seeking ways to achieve immortality.

Furthermore, the face of the Shenzhou Dynasty also needs to be restored, after all, there is still an old ancestor who is not long for life.

Everyone is looking forward to how this game will end.

Is it a mysterious monk who is enemies all over the world but can turn the tide, or is it a bloody starry sky?

In Zhongzhou, the situation is turbulent.

……

In an inn on Gangui Road in Shenzhou.

This place has been isolated by the supreme magical power. Xu He, Yaoguang Great Sage and the Jiang family members are sitting at the same table.

The chief of this prefecture in the Shenzhou Dynasty was tied up aside.

"My friend, you are very strong, but you are wrong." Gan Guidao Jiedushi Chen Yonghui said with a gloomy face:
"Perhaps your cultivation is at the level of a peerless Saint Lord, but my Divine Dynasty is not without such cultivators. If His Majesty gets angry and sends his troops to attack, you will be the only one to suffer!"

Xu He frowned. After hearing this, why did he feel like he was the one who was caught?

Seeing Xu He remained indifferent, Chen Yonghui spoke again: "Perhaps you think that our Divine Dynasty is declining, but I tell you, our Dynasty still has an ancestor."

"There are still several kings in the Thirteen Paths."

"You are still young, so just retreat now and don't make mistakes."

Chen Yonghui was still chattering, but Xu He and Yaoguang Dasheng beside him were speechless and looked at him as if he were an idiot.

Even the Great Sage Yaoguang wanted to laugh.

Jiang Taixu and the rest of the Jiang family had mixed emotions. In the past, the Jiang family had not declined so much, and there were many powerful and king-level warriors. But since the decline, they truly knew the horror of these great cultivators.

During their escape, too many members of the Jiang family died at the hands of these great cultivators. But now, the great cultivators who were once high and mighty and who could look down on the world unless a sage appeared in ancient times, are now being taken aside like little chickens.

It's dreamy, and can only be described with the word dreamy.

and……

Jiang Taixu looked at Xu He, who was dressed in snow-white clothes.

His generosity was truly astonishing. The precious pills he gave out benefited everyone in the Jiang family, and even Jiang Taixu's somewhat damaged body was completely repaired.

"So... you still won't tell me?" Xu He picked up the teacup and took a sip.

A gentle call finally woke up the Jiang family members who were still in deep thought.

"Whatever you want to know, senior, I will tell you everything I know." Jiang Taixu spoke quickly.

"Why did you come to Zhongzhou?" Xu He glanced at Jiang Taixu and said, "Zhongzhou has four dynasties, nine kingdoms, and hundreds of families. The power structure is complex and intertwined. No matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem like a safe place to live."

Jiang Taixu hesitated for a moment and then said, "Because our ancestor Hengyu left for Zhongzhou, he left behind a legacy. I want to use this to revive the Jiang family."

"Nonsense." Xu He snorted. How could he not know whether what Jiang Taixu said was true or not?

It is true that Emperor Hengyu once traveled to Zhongzhou, but Jiang Taixu and his party traveled thousands of miles to Zhongzhou not for the so-called inheritance of the emperor.

If there really is such a thing as the inheritance of the Great Emperor, then the Jiang family would have gone looking for it long ago when they were at their peak.

You know, the Jiang family had two immortal saints in the past.

And this group of people...

Xu He glanced at Jiang Taixu, then at the elders of the Jiang family.

One is at the peak of Dragon Transformation, and the other is half a step away from becoming a powerful being.

This formation, intent on seeking the Great Emperor's inheritance, truly resonated with the likes of the Lunhai cultivators attacking the Demon Emperor's tomb, the Four Extremes cultivators seeking the Emperor's weapons, and the Immortal II cultivators striving for immortality. "Senior!" The lifelong, arrogant Jiang Taixu bowed deeply to Xu He, tears streaming down his face. "I know I'm a bit ignorant, but this matter concerns the survival of my Jiang family."

His meaning was so firm that even the elders of the Jiang family were silent.

"If you don't want to talk about it, then forget it." Xu Hedao didn't force him. After all, he was invincible in the world, so he didn't care much about these trivial matters.

Everyone has their own worries and concerns, and it is not a bad thing for Jiang Taixu to be cautious towards others.

Now he and Great Sage Yaoguang concealed their auras together, just for the purpose of fishing better. Xu He could vaguely guess that there would be a big, fat fish behind them.

"Senior, can I ask a question?"

"explain."

"Why did you help?" Jiang Taixu's doubts were also the doubts of everyone in the Jiang family.

None of them had ever seen Xu He, nor had they ever heard of such a person on the Burial Emperor Star. There was no rumor at all, as if he had appeared out of thin air.

There were a few cultivators who helped along the way, but they were all former friends of the Jiang family.

And the senior in front of me...

The only information they knew was that the other party's surname was Xu.

There aren't many cultivators with the surname Xu on the Burial Emperor Star. Apart from the Heavenly Emperor Xu He, I haven't heard of many famous cultivators with the surname Xu.

It can’t be that Senior Xu is the Emperor Xu He, right?
"Because of a friend, and also because of the two ancestors of your Jiang family." Countless past events flashed through Xu He's eyes: "And also because I always have a scale in my heart."

As soon as the words fell, everyone present held their breath.

The Jiang family members' minds went blank. Jiang Taixu's face froze, and he spoke in disbelief, "You...you know the two ancestors of my Jiang family?"

Those are two great saints and powerful men, the foundation of the Jiang family's eternal immortality!
And the person in front of me actually... knows him?
My scalp is tingling, everyone's scalp is tingling.

A member of the Jiang family swallowed his saliva in the back and whispered to the person next to him, "If I remember correctly... the last time the ancestor appeared... was during the dark turmoil a thousand years ago, right?"

During that turmoil, an ancestor of the Jiang family was killed in the starry sky.

In other words, the cultivator in front of him was at least a thousand years old... or...

Did he participate in the suppression of the dark turmoil?
So how high must this cultivation level be?
Has he been hiding his cultivation level?
"This is unlikely..." The Jiang family members murmured again.

Unlike the Jiang family members who were surprised but also a little confused, Chen Yonghui, who was originally indignant, was only filled with fear.

What did he just say?
If the other party is really acquainted with the ancestor of the Jiang family, then how high must this person's cultivation level be?

For a moment, he regretted what he had said just now. He also realized that the other party ignored him because he was simply disdainful.

Jiang Taixu was shocked and quickly asked, "May I ask, Senior Xu, what did my two ancestors say?"

Xu He sighed, thinking back to what Gai Jiuyou had said: "The Jiang family can perish, but the world cannot."

Jiang Taixu's mind felt like a bronze bell was beating violently.

"If the two ancestors knew about this in the afterlife, they would probably be relieved." Jiang Taixu shook his head and sighed.

When he heard that Xu He knew his ancestor, he felt relieved, and the vigilance that was as taut as a string also relaxed at this moment.

Jiang Taixu looked somewhat lonely. Of his two great saint ancestors, one died in the dark turmoil, and the other fought a decisive battle with a powerful enemy to cover the evacuation of the Jiang family.

Xu He shook his head and said, "The Great Sage of the Jiang family is not dead."

As soon as he finished speaking, all the Jiang family members widened their eyes and were about to ask further questions when Xu Heyu's shocking voice was heard again.

"On the contrary, there is a dead person who is not dead."

I'll find time to update.
