Be Passive In The High Martial World

Chapter 190 Return from Death (Two in One)

Zhou State.

The majestic and huge imperial city is located in the center of the entire country.

The whole building is more than a hundred feet high, suspended in the air by a formation, and connected by ladders and stone stacks, but there is no trail leading to the ground below. It is like an isolated city in the sky.

There are clouds and clouds all around, and there are cranes flying in the sky, and strange animals galloping. The people coming and going in the palace are all good-looking, with more or less cultivation on their bodies, and good demeanor, just like the immortals in the sky.

Because Ji Chengtian heard that there was a hanging city in Fu Li Xianzhou, he thought that this Profound Spirit Dao Gate was the head of the sect in the world, and the Great Zhou under his command was also the head of all the countries in the world, so it should live up to its appearance.

So he ordered people to spend decades building this "Imperial City".

In the main hall of the palace, there were only three practitioners below to pay homage. The atmosphere was solemn. They bowed their heads and trembled slightly, but they did not dare to make a sound.

These three people are all middle three grades, some are from Three Tribulations Sect, some are from Lingtai Mountain, and one was loyal to the royal family of Liang Kingdom.

Without exception, they were all relevant personnel who participated in the original battle to destroy Liang.

The gauze curtains hung down one after another, blocking the kneelers from spying on the emperor, making it even more difficult to predict his thoughts.

Ji Chengtian is sitting with his head closed, eyes closed, Nurturing Spirit, meditating and breathing out.

He did not sit on a dragon chair under him, but simply built a square platform and simply arranged a futon.

And he himself did not wear a dragon robe, but a simple gray Taoist robe, with a thin and slender middle-aged face.

It turned out to be a sect of immortal spirit.

Not like an emperor, but like a practitioner.

Ji Chengtian held a message jade slip in his hand, which was flashing.

After a long time, he opened his eyes, glanced at the three people kneeling below, and said calmly:

"Kill the incompetent people."

But in an instant, a maid took action. The ribbon in her hand turned out to be a magical Spiritual Treasure, and she snapped the necks of the three people.

All of these maids were of celestial appearance, but their movements were like thunder, and they instantly turned into life-threatening judges.

However this is just the beginning.

Since the initial decision to wage war against Liang Guo, all chess pieces related to it that have lost their function will be cleaned out within an hour.

Ji Chengtian originally kept these people to trace the whereabouts of Chen Kuang.

On that day, "Martial Saint" took action, and Ji Chengtian was naturally unable to stop him. In his opinion, the longevity medicine of unknown origin was probably in Chu Wenruo's mother and daughter. They were just pawns, so they would be killed.

His backhand is on the "Eternal Life Lock". As long as Liang Guo is still there, he can naturally continue to do what he does.

However, when the matter calmed down for a few days and the people from Three Tribulations Sect reported to him, they discovered that all the dragon veins in the Liang Kingdom had been sealed for unknown reasons, making it impossible to extract luck.

Only then did he realize that he had been tricked by Su Yu.

The plank road is built openly and the warehouse is secretly built.

The "national destiny" has been transferred by Su Yu!

But who will take away the "national destiny"?

But even if he guessed it, so what, people have crossed the border and entered Yang Country... Even Ji Chengtian needs to figure it out slowly.

Fortunately, Chen Kuang was very unlucky.

Not long after he entered the Yang Kingdom, he was involved in the rebellion of King Jingnan, and the commotion was so great that even Saint took action, and in the end he turned against the emperor.

Ji Chengtian's spies in Yang Kingdom got the news immediately.

At the same time, he immediately understood that Chen Kuang, the pawn he thought was the real person who took away the elixir of longevity and the destiny of the country!

Ji Chengtian was not angry, but happy.

Any chess piece can be plotted as long as it is placed on the bright side.

And this back and forth for a month also allowed Ji Chengtian to see clearly how many incompetent people there were under him.

From today on, the only people who know about the plans related to the "Eternal Life Lock" will be only Ji Chengtian's most trusted people.

Among them, his children are naturally included.

Ji Chengtian sighed and murmured:

"Su Yu... I thought I was just a weak dog, but I didn't expect that it would grow fangs early and plan such a move."

His eyes turned cold and he raised his head, as if he wanted to look at the endless sky:

"But unfortunately, this move is not an isolated move."

"If it's not, then it has a weakness."

Ji Chengtian waved his hand, summoned his dead soldiers, and said with a gentle smile:

"It just so happens that Yanwei is also in Jishao County and has some friendship with Chen Kuang. He must know how many people there are in Chen Kuang's family, so tell him and let him take charge of this matter."

The dead man lowered his head: "Yes."

Then it disappeared.

The rest of the people in the hall were silent and fearful.

The second prince and Chen Kuang knew each other and had vague intentions of becoming friends, which Ji Chengtian had already known.

Zhou Yanwei thought that he was careful enough in raising the dead soldiers privately, but in fact, Ji Chengtian just turned a blind eye.

In the past, Ji Chengtian thought he was playing around when he was young and had everything under control, so he didn't care.

But now...the eldest prince died in battle in Beiyuan, Ji Chengtian became suspicious.

This time, Zhou Yanwei was asked to personally preside over the arrest of the Chen family to testify against themselves.

Not long after, there were sudden exclamations outside. Someone ran into the hall, knelt down tremblingly and said:

"Your Majesty, 'Martial Saint'...has fallen!"

Ji Chengtian frowned: "Elaborate."

"yes."

The man said simply: "'Martial Saint' fought with Earth Spirit Dao Lord. Earth Spirit Dao Lord did not die but proved the Tao and became a saint. 'Martial Saint''s Taoist heart was broken, he retreated steadily, and finally blew himself up and died."

Ji Chengtian knew that things were not that simple.

Earthling Dao Lord started a war with the "Martial Saint" to protect Chen Kuang. How could he become enlightened because of this?

How was the Taoist heart of "Martial Saint" broken?

Lord Di Ling Dao has never been a glib person.

Then...it's very likely that Chen Kuang is causing trouble.

Ji Chengtian's eyes flickered, and he finally thought with certainty: "Liang Guo's 'national destiny' has shown its power in him."

A country's national destiny can control Saint.

Even if Chen Kuang only has the "national destiny" of a declining country like Liang, it is still possible to influence the Taoist heart of a Saint.

This further strengthened Ji Chengtian's desire to seek truth.

And not long after, another person came in and delivered a message, which made Ji Chengtian's face extremely happy, and the ambition in his eyes brightened:

"good good good good!"

After the task he had been asking people to do was completed, Ji Chengtian stood up and said with a big smile: "Come here, I will personally greet our Great Zhou——"

"The Saint of the Eastern Emperor who has returned from the dead!"

…

Liang Guo.

Chen Ning has been feeling uneasy, chest tight, and flustered since this morning.

But she just thought it was because of the bad weather today and didn't pay much attention.

Since the eldest brother Chen Kuang left, Jishao County, including Caobang and the county governor's mansion, have all been secretly managed by the Chen family.

Although the origin of Zhou Yanwei, who claimed to be Chen Kuang's friend, was unknown, Chen Ning was smart enough to guess it and secretly reminded his second brother to stay vigilant.

It is essential to be on guard against others... especially when the other party is half an enemy.

From the fact that Chen Kuang took the initiative to replace the people in the Sheriff's Mansion with Chen family members, it can be seen that even he did not completely trust Zhou Yanwei.

However, overall, for the Chen family, the situation is unprecedentedly good.

Jishao County was in ruins and waiting for improvement, and the power of the Chen family became stronger and stronger.

A few days ago, Hongxue Shao was overjoyed and she and Chen An began to prepare for their wedding. Tie Baiyuan even made a sword himself and gave it to his son-in-law.

Chen An encouraged himself with the deeds of his eldest brother back then. Although it was inevitable that he would not be able to manage such a large force as the Caobang, he still tried his best to learn and made rapid progress.

In just less than half a month, he has gained some composure. With this momentum, coupled with the elixir skills left by Cao Gang Fan Hailong, he has broken through the Innate Realm.

When Chen Ning returned home from school, she felt a chill on her forehead when she crossed the threshold.

When I raised my head, I saw fine snowflakes gradually falling from the gloomy sky.

She tightened her clothes and suddenly said:

"Yes, it's almost November."

This is the first snow that has arrived early this year.

Chen Ning used to love snow the most, but today she was particularly depressed, so she was no longer in the mood to enjoy the snow scene, and walked quickly to the hall of her home.

"Dad! Mom!"

Chen Ning has a quiet temperament, and only in front of Chen Rong and Gantang will he show some liveliness of a girl.

When she saw her father and mother sitting in the hall, she immediately smiled and came forward.

But after taking only two steps, the smile on the girl's face froze.

She saw her father and mother shaking slightly on their chairs, with a dark figure standing behind each of them, expressionless, holding a dagger in their hands against their backs.

Chen Rong's eyes widened, and he couldn't move his whole body. The muscles on his face were twisted, and he opened his mouth to make mouth shapes——

"Quick! Run!"

Chen Ning turned around suddenly and saw a familiar figure slowly walking in from the door.

It was Zhou Yanwei.

The second prince waved his hand, and immediately some soldiers threw Chen An, who was also unable to move and had red eyes, into the hall.

At his age, it is already a great thing to be able to achieve success in the Innate Realm world.

But looking at the entire Liang Kingdom is not enough, let alone the elite dead soldiers of the Zhou Kingdom.

Zhou Yanwei looked at Chen Ning and said helplessly:

"Sister Chen, I'm sorry."

"I need to lend it to you this time."

He took a deep breath, looked at Lin Eryou who came out of the darkness, and took out the communication talisman.

This talisman is different from the jade slip in that it can convey not only the pronunciation of the characters, but also the images.

…

Chen Kuang looked at the extinguished flame in front of him, and the entire world in his field of vision slowed down.

Due to the fall of "Martial Saint", the remaining self-destruction power spread, and the "domains" on both sides shrank, as if even the space had collapsed thousands of feet, making it impossible to distinguish distance from near.

The light of the glazed shadow lamp shone through the world in an instant, and at this moment, it illuminated everyone in the distance and nearby.

Under Chen Kuang's feet, two shadows were completely different.

And when the light fell in the distance, his eyes suddenly condensed.

The first person to bear the brunt was Shen Meinan, who occupied Shen Xingzhu's shell.

A shadow was actually reflected under her feet!

The shadow is not human-shaped, but like a lotus flower.

Secondly, it turned out to be Xiuzhu, a monk from Jialan Temple who had no sense of existence, and Jiang Yunching, the "wisdom sword" who had helped Chen Kuang a lot before.

Behind the two of them, a blurry shadow was also illuminated.

But the two of them were too far away, and even Chen Kuang's "Insightful Gaze" couldn't enhance his vision to such an extent that he couldn't clearly see the shape of their shadows.

The words of Jiang Wuya, played by Xi Mengquan, suddenly flashed through Chen Kuang's mind——

"You are one of the 'destiny's. There are times in life that must come to you, but there are times in life that don't exist. Don't force it, it will always happen."

This time on the Pinggu battlefield, he actually met three people who were suspected of being "kismet".

It's really wonderful.

Chen Kuang's thoughts went back and forth in this moment.

The next moment, the light of the glazed shadow lamp dissipated, only a shadow appeared for a moment, and then disappeared.

"Boom——!!!"

Chen Kuang saw the power of a Saint... no, a self-destruction in the Xuanxuan realm.

It's like the stars are dying, the sun and the moon are dying.

Even though he was pinned far enough away by Chen Kuang, in just a moment, he felt as if his internal organs had been smashed to pieces by a heavy hammer weighing tens of millions of kilograms.

"puff!"

Chen Kuang's face turned pale and he vomited blood, but what he was least afraid of was physical damage, so he just had to carry it.

But at this moment, the most uncomfortable thing is the severely injured soul.

When this severe pain, which he could easily bear in the past, struck, he almost fainted.

Fortunately, a pair of delicate hands caught him and held him into a soft embrace.

The spiritual energy poured in like it was free, finally allowing him to maintain his consciousness, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

The entire sea of ​​​​consciousness is close to drying up. In another quarter of an hour, his cultivation level will regress to lower three grades.

"I pretended to be so good at first. I thought I, 'Senior Tong-kun', was so powerful... I didn't expect it to be a silver pewter spear head."

Lu Zexuan gently reached out and pinched Chen Kuang's cheek to vent his anger.

Then he asked softly: "How do you know what I am planning?"

This time, she actually cheated her death.

Not only did he deceive Chen Kuang's sincerity, but he also defrauded him of a chance to become a saint. It can be said that he won twice.

Won Ma.

Chen Kuang leaned against her, stared at her for a while, and said, "Are you sure you want me to tell you?"

Lu Zexuan nodded.

Is there anything bad to say about this? Although she used Chen Kuang to become a saint, her purpose was impure, but she still wanted to know how sincere Chen Kuang was.

Chen Kuang suddenly came close to her ear and whispered:

"you are lying--"

"You said you are not a good master and are not willing to compete with your apprentice for a man's love."

He blinked and said seriously: "This sentence is a lie."

Lu Zhexuan's face did not change color.

She is a Saint, how can she be shy so easily.

"Yeah, that's a lie."

Daojun Diling smiled, and then said: "Therefore, you have to choose. Do you want to be an apprentice or a master?"

Can't you have both?

Chen Kuang really wanted to say this.

But reason told him that at this moment it would be better not to provoke a person in the Dao'an realm who was sanctified by "infatuation".

Chen Kuang did not answer directly, but just looked at Lu Zhexuan and said, "I once said that we have a close relationship... and I still dare not forget it."

He suggested: "Now that my mind is exhausted, it's not appropriate. How about waiting for me to recover from my injury?"

It was like drawing a pie and giving it a time limit for consideration.

Lu Zhexuan snorted and reluctantly agreed.

She took Chen Kuang to join the others.

Everyone congratulated Lu Zexuan for becoming a saint, but Shen Meinan was particularly happy to see Chen Kuang intact. However, due to his body, he could only say a few congratulations reservedly and could not go forward to check, which made him feel particularly depressed.

Chen Kuang forced himself to keep some distance from Lu Zhexuan to avoid suspicion.

Na Ji Wangquan suddenly stepped forward and said with a smile:

"Chen Ruogu, my father wants to invite you to be a guest in the Kingdom of Zhou. I wonder if you are willing?"

Everyone else was very surprised. At this moment, they all knew that Chen Ruogu, that is, Chen Kuang, had a feud with the Zhou State to destroy the country!

This time Ji Chengtian wanted to invite Chen Kuang, his thoughts were very subtle.

Chen Kuang took a breath: "What if I don't want to?"

Ji Wangquan took out a communication talisman and threw it over: "You will be willing."
