Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 336
Inadvertently, Gu Xu thought of a word Luo Sishou mentioned in his conversation before - "our great cause".

"Is what Luo Sishou did today related to the so-called 'great cause'?" He silently guessed in his heart.

…………

When Gu Xu and Zhao Yan were trapped in the imperial treasury, there was also an undercurrent in Luojing City.

Zhao Changying, Duke of Yan, was standing by the pond in his house in a battle robe.

Beside him are a group of practitioners dressed in black who are loyal to the Zhao family in Youzhou.

Zhao Changying waved his hand lightly, and the turtle that was swimming lazily in the pond suddenly flew into the air, and landed firmly in his palm.

Afterwards, he turned his true essence into a sharp blade, cut open the turtle's stomach, and took out a piece of bamboo from it.

He passed the piece of bamboo to the hands of the subordinates next to him with no expression on his face.

"Look at it," he ordered.

Although his tone was very flat, it revealed an irresistible majesty, completely different from the drunken and decadent alcoholic in the past.

The monks took the bamboo pieces respectfully and took turns to observe carefully.

I saw four large characters clearly and clearly engraved on the bamboo piece——

"Tian Bu Zhao Xing".

After a short silence, Zhao Changying went on to say: "Since Emperor Daqi wants to use rumors to deal with us, then we might as well follow the plan and become the real 'Mandate of Heaven'.

"As the descendants of Dayan, we are definitely not fish on the chopping board."

Looking at Lord Yan who released the powerful aura of the eighth-level cultivator in front of him, all the cultivators felt their blood boil in their chests, and they couldn't help but blurt out: "I wish to follow the Duke to the death."

But they soon realized that today's incident, whether successful or not, would change the identity of their protagonist.

The title of "Yan Guogong" will soon cease to exist.

At this time, a burly, thick and bearded man came out of the team and came to Zhao Changying.

This person's name is Hu Yanxiao, and he is a direct subordinate who is deeply trusted by Zhao Changying. He has a bold personality and speaks out loud. He often drinks with Zhao Changying while giving advice, and never hides his true thoughts.

And Zhao Changying has always admired the bravery and boldness of the northerners in him, and often entrusts him with important responsibilities.

I only heard Hu Yanxiao shouting impassionedly: "My lord, I have long been disgusted with these cowards of the Xiao family in Luojing City! They will only hide in the big formation and enjoy the protection of their ancestors. With their strength, they can obviously They wiped out most of the ghosts in the world, but they allowed the ghosts to wreak havoc and hurt the people.

"Even the gods they enshrine are high above and don't care about the sufferings of the people-how can it be like the great Vulcan that we steal fire for the world?
"We Youzhou people should rule ourselves as before, instead of kneeling before that dog emperor in Zichen Palace."

Having said that, he knelt down on one knee in front of Zhao Changying and shouted, "Long live Dayan! Long live Wang Shang!"

His voice echoed in the courtyard for a long time.

Hearing Hu Yanxiao's words, other cultivators also knelt down in front of Zhao Changying, shouting together: "Long live the Great Yan! Long live the King!"

Zhao Changying remained calm, as if everyone's reactions were within his expectations.

He threw the turtle in his hand back into the pond, then pointed to the gate of the mansion, and said calmly, "Let's go."

…………

On the banks of the Luo River.

This year's Luoshui Conference has ended, and the participating monks have basically withdrawn from the secret realm. Some are beaming and talking to others about what they have seen and heard, while others are dejected and silent.

The Daqi court also sent special officials, and according to their performance in the secret realm, they were divided into several grades such as "First Class" and "Second Class", just like the imperial examinations.

Among them, those who perform well can get a generous amount of practice resources from the court as a reward, and have the opportunity to be appreciated by the government or some high-level sects.

Those with official status may be promoted to a higher level after today; and some casual cultivators who are not well-known may also join the organization after today.

At this moment, Su Xiao from Jiange in Shu was standing by the river, watching the ripples on the water, silent.

There are several Jiange disciples beside him.

Most of these disciples are Su Xiao's admirers.

Some of them comforted, claiming that Senior Brother Su definitely has the ability to win the championship, but he just had bad luck today.

Some people also pointed out fiercely that the sudden revision of the rules of the Luoshui Conference this time was simply aimed at Senior Brother Su. After all, only the weak would huddle together to keep warm, and the strong would fight alone. Could someone else be Senior Brother Su's opponent?
Su Xiao listened, recalling his experience in the secret realm, and did not speak immediately.

When it comes to fighting, he is really invincible.

But after getting some map fragments, he failed to analyze the hidden place of Yinjiuji as quickly as Gu Xu did, resulting in slow steps, slow steps, and finally missed the leader.

"Perhaps the chief executive changed the rules of the Luoshui Conference to tell us that a person's strength does not only include the ability to fight," Su Xiao said slowly after the juniors finished speaking, "wisdom, luck, And the ability to communicate and cooperate...these are all part of the strength.

"In those respects, I'm a little inferior. You don't need to make excuses for me."

Of course, even though he acted calmly, Su Xiao still had some regrets in his heart. He regretted that he had not been able to enter the imperial treasury and get the "Hunyuan Box" inside. How to die in battle.

"By the way, Senior Brother Su, logically speaking, our pavilion master is coming to the capital to watch the battle today, but I haven't seen her all this time. Do you know where she went?" At this time, another Jiange disciple asked.

"I don't know either," Su Xiao shook his head, "Master, she didn't tell me either."

…………

After leaving the imperial treasury with the help of a space passage, the Mangshan Ghost King came to the "Heavenly Street" that runs through the north and south of the capital and leads directly to the gate of the imperial palace.

Looking at the majestic and magnificent "Zichen Palace", a trace of madness flashed in its indifferent eyes-this place used to be the land of the Great Chu Dynasty, but now it has fallen into the hands of others. A collection of souls, it can no longer remain calm.

It slowly raised the "Jingshan Bi" in its hand.

As the former seal of the Great Chu State, it has the function of mobilizing the luck of the world.

But now, it is playing another role - as the eye of the formation, blocking the movement of Luojing's dragon energy, competing with the "Dragon Formation", and even destroying the "Dragon Formation".
