Great Xuanwu Sheng

Donglin Road.

Palace of King Chu.

King Ji Xuanming of Chu, wearing a light blue python robe, sat in a quiet and elegant study. On the table were many memorials, all of which were from various affairs of the eleven states under the jurisdiction of Donglin Road.

Dividing the land to become a king is not just talk, nor is it just seeking a name. If you don't actually govern the land of a road, then the so-called dividing the land and enfeoffment is just a lie, and the place is still governed by the major sects or the court.

Since the power to govern the eleven states within a road has been taken over, it is natural to build corresponding road offices and arrange various yamen. A large number of affairs are submitted to him every day. He has been extremely busy in recent times.

"Your Highness, important information."

Just as the King of Chu was reviewing various memorials, a subordinate in a black robe appeared in front, knelt on one knee and spoke in a low voice.

The King of Chu did not look up, and continued to review the memorials in his hand, and said at the same time:

"Speak."

The black-robed subordinate quickly narrated the matter about Chen Mu's return.

Hearing that Chen Mu was not hiding anything, roaming the outer seas, and returning to Daxuan Hanbei, he finally stopped moving. After a while, he put down the memorial in his hand, sighed, and said:

"God's will is so, and human power cannot go against it."

"To seek immortality and do things against the will of heaven is ultimately against the will of heaven, which led to this subversion and the difficulty of changing the artifact."

To this day.

The information about Chen Mu has been sorted out by various forces for many times. Even though Chen Mu rose in a remote place in Hanbei, they have also explored almost everything about Chen Mu from birth to now.

Unlike other kings, the King of Chu was born with the name of "Xuanming". His mother hoped that he could have the destiny of heaven, and he always believed in the destiny of heaven, believing that everything in the world has a cause and effect cycle, and now it is also confirming what he thinks.

It was Ji Yongzhao who sought immortality and caused chaos in the world, so that Chen Mu was born in Hanbei, rose from humble beginnings, and soared to the sky.

If Daxuan was still a stable and prosperous country, ruling the world, then even if Chen Mu was amazing, he could still rise, but his rise would inevitably depend on the court, step by step, he would become an official, and finally enter the center.

In that case, Chen Mu would also have many causes and effects with the royal Ji family. Such people who are devoted to martial arts often don't care about power, and with the grace of the court's training and promotion, they would not rebel against the Ji family's world.

But Ji Yongzhao sat on the throne, did not think about ruling the people, but sought his own interests, causing chaos in the world, and now it is divided into nine parts. Even if Chen Mu is still a lonely man, with only one Qixuan Sect around him, as long as Chen Mu intends to pacify the troubled times and restore the mountains and rivers, then with his personal martial arts, he will be invincible in the world, and naturally he can quickly gather forces and finally compete with the Ji family for the power of the world.

All this was caused by his father, Emperor Ji Yongzhao.

If you don't take the country and the people as the most important, there will be a will of heaven in the dark, and the calamity will befall you. Now, whether the thousand-year dynasty that has ruled the world will still belong to the Ji family is no longer entirely up to the Ji family, but also depends on Chen Mu's intention.

At this point, compared with the other eight kings, he is more indifferent. He has fought with King Jin for decades, and during this period of time, he has governed the eleven states of Donglin Road and handled many affairs personally. Now he is already a little tired. He is not so obsessed with the throne. After all, it is difficult to go against the will of heaven. Man proposes, but God disposes.

At this moment.

With this change of mind, Ji Xuanming suddenly felt something, and felt that his mind was clear and transparent, as if a little light flashed through.

He has been trapped in the state of marrow washing for many years. Because of the struggle for power, there is also a flaw in his mind, which makes him always feel that he can't cross the barrier of life and death and ascend to the blood exchange.

At this moment, Han Wang Ji Xuanfei inherited the throne, the world was divided into nine parts, and Chen Mu returned, the situation was precarious. The temporary fatigue made him calm, and he no longer had the idea of ​​forcing it. Instead, his mind was quietly clear.

It was just this short moment.

Ji Xuanming had already understood that he could cross the barrier of life and death and step into the blood exchange realm of the body tempering martial arts.

"Hehe."

Ji Xuanming was stunned for a short time, and suddenly laughed.

If he had a clear mind and no flaws before, and stepped into the blood exchange realm in one step, then he would immediately stand out among the eight kings, and even King Jin would not be able to compete with him, and the throne would undoubtedly belong to him.

But at that time, he was obsessed with competing, and his mind was not clear enough, so he was trapped in the barrier of life and death, and it was difficult to cross. Now he suddenly looked down on it, and after he no longer had the idea of ​​seizing that position, the flaw in his will quietly disappeared.

It was really God's will.

At this moment, Ji Xuanming's mind was together, and the world was wide.

"Give the order, I'm going to retreat, the political affairs of the Donglin states will be temporarily dispatched by the Jiedushi."

Ji Xuanming knocked on the table lightly.

A subordinate in a black robe appeared, bowed his head and responded, and quickly withdrew.

Ji Xuanming knocked on the table again, and another subordinate in a black robe appeared. He took out a token in his hand, threw it away lightly, and said: "Give my token to Yongning. While I'm in retreat, the armies under the Donglin Daofu will be temporarily under her control. In addition to the military and political affairs of the eleven states of Donglin, the affairs of the other Daos and Zhongzhou will not be handled at all."

Finally.

He added another sentence, saying: "If Chen Mu comes to Donglin, let her entertain him well on my behalf."

The black-robed man took the order and quickly withdrew.

Looking at the quiet study room, Ji Xuanming shook his head slightly and felt a little emotional. Although Yan Hong and he were not born from the same mother, Yan Hong's mother and his mother-in-law were sisters, so Yan Hong had been close to him since childhood. Like brothers and sisters, he broke up with Ji Xuanfei and went to Donglin Road. When Ritu came to rule, Yan Hong also came to Donglin with him.

Yan Hong had met Chen Mu overseas, and he knew all the details. Although they couldn't be called close friends, they had made some friends. If Chen Mu came to Donglin in the future, it would be just right for Yan Hong to entertain him. suitable.

It's a pity to say that.

When he saw Yan Hong describing the affairs outside the sea, he admired Chen Mu very much. If Yan Hong was more capable and had a deeper friendship with Chen Mu, he might not be able to try to bring the two of them together. In terms of martial arts, Chen Mu, who is the most skilled martial artist in the world, is also the person Yan Hong yearns for.

…

The kings reacted differently to the news of Chen Mu's return, but it also caused the world to calm down for half a year. The world was once again in ups and downs, with undercurrents surging.

That is, when all parties were taking action, a middle-aged man wearing cloth, walking slowly, and with a little vicissitude and calmness in his eyes, appeared outside the mountain gate of Qixuan Sect.

"who?!"

The Qixuan Sect protector Yu Cheng, who was guarding the mountain gate, changed his face slightly and asked with solemn eyes.

There was no question in his tone, but he was very solemn, because although the middle-aged man in front of him could hardly distinguish any aura in his perception, he appeared in front of the mountain road almost out of thin air, and he had no idea about it beforehand. , indicating that his level is far beyond his reach. He is at least a marrow-cleansing master, and may even be a blood-transforming being!

Faced with such a person, even though he didn't know his origin, he respected him in his heart. While asking, he also quietly sent a message to the inside of Qixuan Sect's mountain gate.

The middle-aged man was dressed in commoner clothes and looked like an ordinary farmer. He did not show any majesty on his body. At this time, facing Cheng's inquiry, he just said naturally: "Excuse me, please tell me that Uncle Yuan is here to visit. "

Yuan Changbo?

Yu Cheng was slightly startled at first, then thought of something, and immediately reacted. His whole body suddenly shook, his pupils suddenly shrank, and there was a look of shock in his eyes.

The name Yuan Changbo may be very unfamiliar to ordinary people, but he is the protector of Qixuan Sect, and he still knows many things about Hanbei very clearly, including the name "Changbo". Yuan is the surname, and Changbo is It’s a word, but no one in Hanbei today would call the person in front of them by this title. Instead, they all use the king’s title—King of Zhenbei!

Yuan Hong, the king of Zhenbei,

The word is Changbo!

In the early years, when he had not yet inherited the throne and was only the heir apparent, others called him by his name. But after he inherited the throne, no one called him by his name anymore. Yu Cheng also knew this when he learned a lot of information about Yuan Hong. .

The middle-aged man in front of him, dressed simply as a commoner, turned out to be the King of Zhenbei, Yuan Hong, who now controls the eleven prefectures in Hanbei and brings all the prefectures in Hanbei under his control, making nine points of the world!

Although I was shocked and a little unbelievable.

But Yu Cheng knew clearly that it was impossible for someone with the same name and surname to exist. The realm of martial arts was so unpredictable, and it was even more impossible for anyone to dare to pretend to be Yuan Hong. This dignified King of Zhenbei was Bu Yi's visit today!

"Meet the prince."

Yu Cheng did not dare to be rude and immediately bowed respectfully to Yuan Hong and said, "I will go and report this immediately."

Not to mention the identity of the King of Zhenbei, Yuan Hong's martial arts skills alone were the only two heavenly masters in Hanbei. He was not the one who dared to be rude. What even gave Yu Cheng a headache was that if it were placed in the past, he would definitely Yuan Hong was immediately invited to enter the mountain gate, but now the Qixuan Sect has closed the mountain and no one is allowed to enter or exit. Yuan Hong is also a commoner visiting, so inviting him in would violate the laws of the Qixuan Sect and may even disturb the Qiankun Dragon Lock Formation.

It is not right to ask Yuan Hong to wait in front of the mountain gate. His Majesty is the King of the North, and the masters of heaven and humans are waiting in front of the mountain gate. What a disrespect. Looking at the world, which sect can have such a big reputation?

but.

Just when Yu Cheng had no choice but to bow and salute, intending to abide by the sect's laws and go to report first, a slightly older voice sounded: "The prince is here, and he didn't welcome you from afar. It's rude to be an old man."

Yu Cheng suddenly turned around and saw a figure appearing on the mountain road in front of the Qixuan Sect's gate. He was wearing a long robe and had an old face. It was none other than the Supreme Elder of the Qixuan Sect, Yin Heng!

now.

Yin Heng was also a little surprised by the arrival of King Zhenbei, but after thinking about it carefully, it was not too surprising.

He had been away during this period, leaving all the affairs of the sect in the hands of Qin Mengjun. After hearing the news of Chen Mu's return from overseas two days ago, he immediately set out to return to the sect. He arrived at this time and saw Yuan Hongbuyi's visit. scene.

"I haven't seen you for many years. Your demeanor is still the same as before."

Yuan Hong looked at Yin Heng and said with some nostalgia.

Yin Heng is much older than him, and he became famous before him. When Yin Heng entered the realm of master, he was still a young boy. Later, Yin Heng entered the realm of blood exchange. He had just entered the realm of marrow cleansing, and he was still Yin Heng's junior. .

After that, he encountered Yin Heng many times in many Jianghu affairs, but there was not much quarrel between them, and they never forged any grudges. This was also before Chen Mu's rise, Qixuan Sect and Zhenbei Mansion had always been in peace. One of the reasons.

After Yuan Hong entered the blood exchange realm and inherited the throne of Zhenbei, he never met Yin Heng again.

Yin Heng sighed and said, "When I was traveling in the martial arts world, I saw that the prince had extraordinary talent. After that, he really rose to the top, washed his marrow and exchanged blood smoothly, and reached the level of heaven and man. I am ashamed that my talent is dull and I have been struggling in martial arts for many years. I am afraid that I will never be able to overcome this level of heaven and man in my lifetime."

Yuan Hong shook his head and laughed when he heard this, saying, "In terms of martial arts talent, I am not a famous person in this world, and there is no one among the many descendants. But Yin Taishang has accepted a good disciple and cultivated a peerless hero."

Yin Heng smiled after hearing this, and a trace of joy flashed in his eyes.

At his current level, apart from the realm of martial arts, the only thing he cares about is the inheritance of the sect. Now Qin Mengjun has lived up to his expectations and has achieved the realm of blood exchange, continuing the blood exchange inheritance. In addition, Chen Mu is a brilliant man who has risen from obscurity and soared to the sky. Now he is probably the closest to invincibility in the world. Thinking about it is indeed gratifying.

"Future generations have their own destiny, which is not something we can decide."

Yin Heng smiled and bowed his hands to invite him, "Please, Your Majesty."

After that.

He gently raised his foot and touched the ground vein of the Qiankun Locking Dragon Formation, and then invited Yuan Hong to join the sect.

Yuan Hong also looked calm, and stepped forward, and climbed the mountain road of Qixuan Sect with Yin Heng. After a few steps, he disappeared on the mountain path of Qixuan Sect.

Only the guardian Yu Cheng and several deacons were left. There was still a hint of cold sweat on their foreheads. After looking at each other, they breathed a sigh of relief. Although the current Qixuan Sect is different from the past, Chen Mu has returned and stepped into the blood transfusion, and his reputation is world-renowned, but the person who is the best in the world is Chen Mu after all, not the sect guardians and deacons.

Facing a master of heaven and man, even if you have seen many scenes, you can't help but feel nervous and uneasy.

...

That is when Yin Heng led Yuan Hong into the mountain.

In the forbidden area of ​​the Qixuan Sect and the purple bamboo forest on Lingxuan Peak, Chen Mu, who was training Chen Yue's martial arts, raised his head at the same time and cast his eyes outside the mountain path of the Qixuan Sect, with a strange color flashing in his eyes.

"Yuan Hong?"

Qin Mengjun was a little surprised.

She had felt Yuan Hong's aura before, and now Yuan Hong followed Yin Heng into the mountain. As she was in charge of the sect's formation, she could sense and distinguish him at the first time through the Qiankun Locking Dragon Formation.

"Who is the master of heaven? It shouldn't be the Heavenly Sword, so could it be..."

Although Chen Mu had never seen Yuan Hong, nor had he sensed Yuan Hong's aura, and was completely unfamiliar with Yuan Hong, at this moment, he was holding Chen Yao in his arms, and his eyes flashed slightly, and he vaguely guessed the identity of the visitor.

If the visitor was really the King of Zhenbei, then there was no doubt that this visit could only be for him.
