Luo Han closed his eyes and opened his heart, he realized that he had embarked on a path of no return.
"Okay, you will know what to do when you go back... Try to persuade the leader to give up Gongsun Xiaotao. If he doesn't listen, change the leader." Jiang Ke'er said.
Change the leader... She said this with such ease.
But no matter how troublesome it was, Luo Han could only nod: "Understood."
"There is one more thing," Jiang Ke'er drew her thin eyebrows together, "Why did you enter Dongsheng Shenzhou with such fanfare?"
"In order to make friends with the Jiexian Palace." Luo Han replied.
"No, you didn't tell me everything." Jiang Ke'er's eyes flashed with murderous intent, "Tell me everything you know."
Luo Han was startled and said quickly: "The leader is keeping his mouth shut about what exactly happened. I only know that he wants to contact the Jiexian Palace to discuss something important, which involves many powers above the immortal level..."
"What else?"
"If this can be accomplished, Shenzhou will usher in a brand new reshuffle. Nanzhanbuzhou may replace Dongsheng Shenzhou and become the new prosperous center of Jiuzhou."
What a generous act.
I don’t know whether Lord Li knows about this. I’d better find an opportunity to remind him and let him be more cautious.
However, the Jiexian Palace is involved behind the scenes. Even if Lord Li knew about it, he might be unable to do anything about it.
He was able to take the position of emperor without the Jiugong Chamber of Commerce taking any action, and because of the gap in combat power caused by the epidemic and the pressure brought to Jiuzhou by the Heavenly Demon... Many factors came together to make him take the position.
If, under the leadership of the Jiexian Palace, the human race organizes an efficient counterattack while the epidemic is over, it will be difficult to say who will take over Chang'an by then.
As long as the Tribulation Palace is not destroyed, the demon race will never have a peaceful day.
However, the headquarters of the Jiexian Palace is located in the center of the fairyland, and the human world only has a projection palace and management monks...
Moreover, although it was only a projected human branch, it also contained many mechanisms and formations that he could not deal with. If he acted rashly, he would only be asking for death.
Therefore, we can only be on guard against this matter, relying on the advantage of our own formation, waiting for the opponent to take the initiative to attack, and then dive into the formation.
The only thing he could do was to warn Lord Li to increase his defenses.
——However, even if Lord Li knew, there was nothing he could do!
Jiang Keer sighed softly.
Now all the defense forces of Dongsheng Shenzhou are concentrated in the Hanlin Academy. For the possible emergence of the "Great Cosmic Silk Road" in the future, Lord Li has already done his best. How can he have other forces to strengthen the defense of various places?
It seems that the only option is to sacrifice the development progress of Sitianyi.
I will write a letter to Lord Li to inform him of the situation. I think Lord Li will be able to make a judgment.
"After you go back, continue to spy on the specific actions of this negotiation and notify me immediately when you have any news," Jiang Ke'er ordered.
"Yes, sir." Luo Han had apparently become a loyal subordinate.
What a terrifying power! Jiang Keer looked at her palm and thought.
********
Xu Chen finally returned to the human branch of the Jiexian Palace. Looking at the familiar scene surrounded by immortal energy, the fatigue from fleeing for days disappeared a lot.
He walked slowly into the gate of the Jiexian Palace.
He didn't want to cause any more trouble, so he kept himself hidden, and even his fellow guards in the Jiexian Palace ignored him.
He walked up the straight steps to the main hall.
As soon as he stepped over the threshold, Xu Chen felt millions of rays of light shining on him.
He raised his head—nine thousand statues covered the entire wall grid and spread to the dome. As he walked in, the statues' eyes turned towards him in unison.
Xu Chen first walked into the center of the hall and bowed to a particularly huge statue of a sword cultivator in the center.
Only this statue was lifeless, its eyes staring straight at the sky.
His bright yellow robe was lifted high back, the sword in his hand was ready to strike, and his eyes were fixed on the sky.
As far as his eyes could see, there was no statue on the wall, but a hole that looked like it had been burned, and the starry sky was slowly flowing outside the hole.
After paying homage to the huge statue, Xu Chen knelt in front of the north wall of the hall.
He lowered his head, his palms deeply embedded in the soil, and said in a trembling voice: "I am incompetent. I failed to complete the master's instructions and lost the gate to the heaven. Please punish me, master."
The hall was silent for a long time.
"collapse--"
Suddenly, a huge muffled sound was heard in the air, and Xu Chen's body flew backwards, flew out of the hall, and crashed heavily into the flaming cauldron at the door of the hall.
There was a sizzling sound of burning behind him, and waves of pain swept over him, but Xu Chen didn't dare to make a sound. He could only grit his teeth and endure it, tearing himself off the cauldron bit by bit, and leaving the furnace at the cost of the flesh on his back.
A purple slap mark gradually appeared on his face, which was the result of him being knocked away just now.
"You piece of trash deserves to be punished." An emotionless old voice came from the hall.
Xu Chen staggered back to the wall and knelt down again, kneeling in front of the statue of an old immortal with a white beard.
"You have lost the gate to the fairyland. Any punishment is too light for you. It is useless to punish you." The old voice continued, "Besides, Jiang Ke'er has established a relationship with the outer demon. It is impossible for you to take back the fairyland with your strength... I have other plans for this matter. You just need to guard by the side and ensure that the plan goes smoothly."
"As ordered."
"If anything goes wrong again, you will jump into the eternal hell."
“…Disciple understands,” Xu Chen nodded heavily.
"Well, go get things done." the voice said coldly.
However, Xu Chen did not stand up.
"Master, please wait a moment..."
He suddenly felt a little uneasy, and shyly took out a piece of paper engraved with brown-red runes from his waist. Then he looked at the statue in front of him expectantly and said, "Master, I have recently developed a new type of subtle-level formation engraving, which can greatly enhance the operating efficiency of all formations. It can be used in all fields such as refining equipment, refining pills, formations and even cultivation! I think the value of this achievement is not inferior to the creation of the Si Tian Yi!"
However, the eyes of the stone statue had lost their luster and did not respond.
“Master…Master?”
Xu Chen called out a few more times.
After a while, the eyes of the statue began to move.
"...Why haven't you left yet?" The stone statue seemed to have just realized that Xu Chen had not left.
"Master, I have researched a new subtle-level formation engraving, which can greatly enhance the strength of our Jiexian Palace!" Xu Chen immediately perked up and said hurriedly.
"Well, then submit it to the Ministry of Heavenly Works. No need to tell me."
"Yes... I understand, I'm sorry for wasting Master's precious time for cultivation..."
"It's good that you know. Is there anything else?"
"there is none left……"
"Then go do something."
"As ordered..."
Xu Chen bowed slightly and left the hall in silence.
(1/2)
58. A thoughtful gift
The moment Xu Chen walked out of the hall, it seemed as if the whole world around him became scorching hot.
What...what's going on?
What are those strange strong men at the mountain gate?
"The Southern Continent's Desolate Heaven Sect is visiting with gifts!"
Accompanied by a loud shout from afar, the big men walked slowly towards us with their heads held high, chests puffed out, waists twisted, and proudly and gracefully stepped forward.
When did the Desolate Heaven Sect become like this? !
Wasn't he quite normal when I went to Jambu Continent last time? How come after only one year of not seeing him, his aesthetics are so beyond the times?
"Welcome." The human steward of the Jiexian Palace squeezed out these two words from between his teeth with great difficulty, and tried painfully to keep his eyes open and not spit them out.
Xiaojun, as the human steward of the Jiexian Palace, must endure all the uncomfortable feelings and properly receive these guests from the Southern Continent.
Besides, they had something important to discuss, and in order to prevent it from being messed up, he couldn't show any displeasure, but had to pretend to be happy.
Fortunately, there are gifts as consolation.
The leader of the Desolate Heaven Sect took the lead and performed the etiquette of a subject.
"We are all human brothers, why should we be so polite?" Fortunately, the shape of the leader of the Huangtian Sect was still normal, which made Xiaojun breathe a sigh of relief, and he hurried forward to help the leader up.
The leader of the Desolate Heaven Sect stood up and said with a smile: "I came here this time with full sincerity, absolutely a generous gift!"
"Oh?" Xiaojun did not show any emotion on the surface, but was secretly happy in his heart.
At the critical moment when the two states established diplomatic relations, Jambu Continent would definitely not be stingy with money.
Besides, the Jiugong Chamber of Commerce's storehouse was emptied by Jiang Ke'er, and they needed this batch of money to help them out. Now the grassroots disciples of Jiexian Palace haven't received their regular salary for three months. If this continues, they may have to sell their bowls on the roadside.
"Please look, Immortal!" The leader of the Huangtian clan smiled proudly and waved his hand to show Xiaojun the large group of strong men behind him.
"Uh?"
What do you mean?
“I hope that these carefully trained disciples can serve as a bond of peace for the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two southeastern states and become the spiritual symbol of the establishment of diplomatic relations between our two states!” said Sect Leader Huangtian proudly.
"...You mean, these disciples are...gifts?!" Xiaojun asked in a trembling voice.
Look, he is shaking with joy.
"That's right." Leader Huang Tian admitted firmly.
Xiaojun almost fainted.
"I thought it would be treasure, ahaha, ahahaha..." Xiaojun said with a silly smile.
“We are well aware that the Jiexian Palace is a large and wealthy place with great wealth and power. It does not need the small and money-grubbing things from us in this remote place at all,” said the leader of the Huangtian sect with a meaningful smile, as if to say “I understand you”.
"..."
"So if we don't know what's good for us and give those copper-smelling things to Jiexian Palace, it will not only be insincere, but also worthless, and will only make you annoyed and ridiculed... How can money be as long-lasting as living men, and can it maintain the emotional bond between our two states?" The leader of the Desolate Heaven laughed, "How do you think of this batch of gifts? Is it sincere enough? Do you like it?"
"Like...like..." Xiaojun almost cried because of laughing.
What else can he do? !
With such a big thing happening, how could he say he didn’t like it?
I have to bite the bullet and pretend to be like, "Wow, that's great, I love it" to ensure that this cooperation can go smoothly!
"That's great!" Master Huang Tian was overjoyed, and was completely unaware of Xiao Jun's true state of mind. "We were short on time this time, so we didn't cultivate many. Next time we meet, I'll give you tens of thousands more disciples like this!"
"Fuck, don't..."
"You're welcome! It's just a small favor. If it can please the immortal, it will be worth it!" said the leader of the Huangtian sect with a big laugh.
"..."
Xiaojun knew that he had no chance of convincing Master Huangtian, just like you could never wake up a person who had drunk a bottle of hydrosulfuric acid.
Fortunately, there are ten major sects in Jambudvīpa, at least the other sects are still normal...⑧?
"The evil ghosts from the Southern Continent are here to see you!"
"...The Tianji Sect is here to meet you!"
Xiaojun turned his head and looked.
...You two made an appointment, right?
*******
Dongsheng Shenzhou, the far southeast coast, the novice village.
Jiang Keer is preparing for tomorrow's fishing competition.
Fishing competitions are not as exciting as dragon boat races. They are more casual and suitable for relaxation.
So tomorrow Qiao Xiaoxian will also participate with me, and they will compete as a team with Xiao Hebaodan, Pei Min and Gongsun Xiaotao.
