That's What Villains Are Like

As its name suggests, Nanhuangzhou is the most wild and ancient place in the land of Kyushu. In addition to barbarians occupying large areas of territory, there are also many ancient ferocious beasts and monsters.

In terms of quantity, the number of barbarians, monsters and other ethnic groups far exceeds that of humans. Barbarians breed extremely fast. A small tribe with thousands of people can grow to tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands in a few decades.

It is precisely because of this that the barbarians have a numerical advantage and have been plundering various places all year round, bringing disasters and wars. This has always been a headache for many dynasties in Zhongtian Prefecture.

Not only that, but many ancient aristocratic families and immortal sects are also troubled by this matter. Many young disciples often go down the mountain to resist the barbarians.

The major immortal sects in Nanmo Prefecture also hate the barbarians deeply.

So after hearing these words, Xia Jin shook his head directly and said, "In my opinion, the barbarians may have other plans. The various immortal families have always been aloof and aloof, and they may not cooperate with the barbarians."

"It is said that a barbarian was born in the barbarian tribe. This person inherited the will of the barbarian god and will become the barbarian emperor in the future. He will unify the barbarian tribe and end the chaotic and turbulent era of the barbarian tribe for many years. Could this matter be related to that barbarian?"

"The barbarians and monsters have been a difficult problem for all dynasties. If I can quell the barbarians, my reputation will surely rival those of the emperors in ancient times." Emperor Xia looked thoughtful and ambitious.

"Unfortunately, the Southern Wilderness State is too big. Even if the beings from the Seven Realms fly day and night, they cannot fly from one side to the other. There are too many barbarians. In recent years, they have only been fighting with the barbarian tribes in the adjacent border areas."

But soon, she shook her head again, feeling that it was not realistic.

Every emperor of Great Xia would hunt south, but after so many years, there was no success at all. The number of barbarians did not decrease at all. On the contrary, they became increasingly rampant, causing chaos on the borders and plundering towns wantonly.

If it could be solved easily, this problem would not remain today.

Xia Jin said respectfully, "Your Majesty has a real life, he will be able to carry the energy and achieve great achievements. In the past, the barbarians were difficult to eradicate because they were too chaotic and mixed. If there can be a leader to rule the barbarians now, A leader may be a good thing, but it is also an opportunity.”

"Wei Chen has already inquired about it. It is said that the royal court of the barbarians was established deep in the Southern Wilderness State, in an area called the Barbarian Skeleton Valley. The chiefs of the major tribes will take their tribesmen there to worship..."

"Barbarian Skeleton Valley? I have heard about this place. It is said that it is the place where the bones of the barbarian gods fell after their death. Many powerful barbarians who are nearing their end of life and want to return to the arms of the barbarian gods will go here and sit in it for a long time. Since then, countless corpses of barbarians have been accumulated."

"If the barbarians built the imperial court here, I'm afraid they want to gather all the energy that the barbarians have lost over the years, so as to establish the government and compete with Daxia." When Emperor Xia heard this, his face was slightly solemn, and he couldn't help it. Dare to despise.

"However, the top priority is that Wei Chen still feels that the purpose of sending the barbarian masters to Nanmo State should be investigated clearly." Xia Jin said in a deep voice.

Emperor Xia also nodded and planned to secretly send some experts there. After all, Nanmo State was already outside Zhongtian State and far away from the territory of Daxia.

"There is nothing to investigate. If we have the time to investigate, it is better to send more people to the Demon Abyss to prevent the formation from breaking and the demons to reappear in the world."

At this time, a voice came from outside the hall, and a young man came slowly into the hall. The jade pendant and jade ring hanging around his waist made a crisp clanking sound, and he seemed to be very relaxed.

Emperor Xia glanced at Jiang Lan and snorted coldly.

Xia Jin was slightly startled, but then he quickly realized what he was doing. Instead of looking at her, he cupped his hands and said respectfully, "Wei Chen has met Mr. Feng."

"Isn't this General Xia Jin who is famous throughout Daxia, famous overseas, and even shocking hundreds of countries?"

"When I saw him today, he turned out to be a man of heroic character and a heroic figure." Jiang Lan smiled slightly.

"Fengjun is too praised."

Xia Jin's expression did not change, and he still had a decent and respectful expression. Then he gave up his position and stood aside without looking too much.

After all, Jiang Lan is the husband of Emperor Xia, and he is also the Fengjun of Daxia today. On this occasion, if he takes a second look, it would be disrespectful to Emperor Xia.

With his ministers in the palace, Emperor Xia naturally did not care about anything else with Jiang Lan, and said expressionlessly, "You seem to have some opinions on the barbarians sending masters to Nanmo Prefecture?"

"The land adjacent to Nanmo Prefecture and Nanhuang Prefecture has an offshore area with a bottomless abyss in it, also known as the Demonic Abyss. The depths of the Demonic Abyss are connected to other dimensions."

"Once upon a time, a demonic disaster broke out from it, then spread and ravaged the nine states. It caused countless killings, and countless ethnic groups and creatures died tragically in it. Blood flowed across the earth and bones piled up in mountains."

"Thanks to the emergence of the ancient Three Saints at that time, using Zhongtian State as a tactic, they mobilized the power of the stars, led the seven stars to come to the world, and set up a demon-sealing formation, so that the demonic disaster was successfully driven back."

"Long years have passed, and the power of the seal has probably weakened. If the barbarians want to subvert Daxia, the easiest way is to take the opportunity to break the seal and cause the demonic disaster to break out again..."

"At that time, the barbarians would not even need to take action. Daxia would be distracted and exhausted by dealing with the demonic disaster and gradually collapse."

On the way here, Jiang Lan had almost guessed what happened to Emperor Xia.

Combined with the conversation he just heard and his understanding of the subsequent plot, he roughly judged the barbarian's purpose.

After hearing these words, both Emperor Xia and Xia Jin frowned, not thinking that Jiang Lan's words were groundless and without any basis.

"These damn barbarians insist on destroying the seal of the Demonic Abyss, regardless of the ruin of their lives..."

Emperor Xia's eyes were cold and his jade hands were clenched tightly.

Although she didn't want to admit it, she trusted what Jiang Lan had said all along.

"Although the Demonic Abyss is guarded by three major guardian families, it has indeed been many years since the Demonic Disaster broke out. There is no way to determine what the status of the seal is..."

Xia Jin was slightly surprised. He didn't expect Emperor Xia to have any doubts or guesses about what Jiang Lan said.

After all, this is just speculation, and there is currently no evidence.

She actually believes in it so much? It seems that many speculations and inferences in the rumors still need to be reconsidered and verified.

"The barbarians have learned to be smart now and will no longer rely on brute force to destroy as before. The cooperation between the barbarians and the Blood Immortal Cult in the Southern Hunting Exercise to attract the phantom of the barbarian god to come is the best testimony, isn't it?"

"If your Majesty continues to treat the barbarians with his previous views and experiences, he will suffer a big loss sooner or later." Jiang Lan said again, with a tone that seemed to be comforting.

"I understand."

Emperor Xia rarely refuted him, and then looked at him and asked, "What should we do now? If we send people to the Demon Abyss, I am afraid that we will alert the enemy."

"It is not difficult to guess the intentions of the barbarians, but in any case, there are guardian families left by the three saints on the other side of the Demon Abyss. It is not easy to destroy the seals."

"Unless..." Jiang Lan seemed to be thinking too.

"Unless what?" Emperor Xia asked.

"Unless the three major guardian families have long been connected with the barbarians?" Jiang Lan frowned slightly and guessed.

"If even the three major guardian families collude with the barbarians, then things will be in big trouble." Emperor Xia also frowned suddenly.

"Those three ancient saints cared about the world, and the guardian family they left behind has always adhered to their mission, helped the common people, and guarded the Demonic Abyss. They must not be able to do such a thing." Xia Jin thinks so. The possibility is very small.

Jiang Lan nodded and said, "There are always exceptions in everything. People's hearts are always fickle, but we should not make any hasty conclusions on this matter. The three guardian families have guarded the Demon Abyss for generations to prevent the demons from raging and the demon disasters breaking out. Their merits are immeasurable. If Wouldn’t it chill their hearts to slander them at will?”

"What Feng Jun said is absolutely true. This matter is not trivial. The status of the three guardian families is extraordinary, not only in Zhongtian State, but also in the entire Jiuzhou. If this matter is not investigated clearly, it will be arranged arbitrarily , I'm afraid it will cause a lot of dissatisfaction..." Xia Jin said.

The Demonic Abyss is located on Feixian Island. It is said that there were strange phenomena of flying immortals on that island. Immortals lifted up the clouds and soared into the sky. Spiritual springs gushed from the ground and golden lotuses bloomed from the sky. Various legends were left behind.

It was later occupied by many immortal families. Then the world changed, the sea water dropped, and the area of ​​Feixian Island expanded more than a hundred times.

In the middle, there is a boundless and terrifying rift valley, with demonic energy billowing and covering the sky. Numerous demonic disasters have erupted from it, causing chaos in the world.

Some people say that it is connected to another time and space, and it is through that portal that the demons descend to the land of Kyushu, hoping to occupy this land that is rich in earth spirits and loved by heaven.

In the plot that Jiang Lan knows, Feixian Island will become the focus of attention from all parties.

The outbreak of the demonic disaster will not only bring disaster to Zhongtian State and the Daxia Kingdom, but will also sweep across the entire land of Kyushu.

Of course, when there is a disaster, the corresponding Sons of Destiny will inevitably emerge to fight against it.

The way of heaven pays attention to balance, and the laws of nature that have been repeated throughout the ages also explain all this.

Wasn't it because the Three Saints were born in ancient times because of the outbreak of demonic disasters that wreaked havoc on the world?

Jiang Lan wants to promote the further growth of the luck path fruit, and these children of luck and people of destiny are the best nutrients.

In the plot he knew, there was an ancient talisman of freedom condensed in the depths of the Demonic Abyss for an unknown number of years, colliding in the plane space, shrinking and collapsing, absorbing an unknown amount of essence, residual souls, and blood essence.

"Your Majesty, regarding the matter of Moyuan, Weichen will send his confidants to investigate clearly. Nanmo Prefecture is adjacent to Nanhuang State and is not very far from Weichen's territory. If there is any change there, Weichen will be able to detect it immediately. "

Xia Jin is well aware of the seriousness of the outbreak of demonic disaster. Regardless of whether there is any sign of it, it is best to nip it in the cradle.

She immediately asked for orders and planned to send someone to investigate.

Emperor Xia nodded slightly, and with a move of his jade hand, ripples appeared in the void, and a golden token fell into Xia Jin's hand.

She ordered, "Holding my gold medal, if someone secretly blocks this matter, there is no need to ask for orders, just behead him. If the Supervisor Tiansi and Zhenxian Division see this card, they will also obey your orders."

During this time, she had reached some kind of agreement with the Supervisor Tiansi and Zhenxian Si, and these two departments, which were not under the control of the royal family, began to listen to her.

A feeling of gradual control of power arises spontaneously.

"Yes, that humble minister will take his leave first." Xia Jin held the gold medal in his hand, did not stay long, and left respectfully.

Jiang Lan's eyes were somewhat interested as he watched Xia Jin's figure disappear outside the hall.

If he remembers correctly, Xia Jin and the Chen Sect that Ye Ming is now rushing to have many origins and connections.

However, this matter is not urgent. He will contact this person next, and he can use the magic disaster to slowly harvest the Chen Sect.

"What do you think of Xia Jin?"

At this time, Xia Huang could not hear the voice of emotional ups and downs, which suddenly came from the side.

Jiang Lan calmed down his thoughts, turned to look at her, and commented, "She is calm and resourceful, has a heroic appearance, and can be of great use."

Emperor Xia crossed his arms and sneered, "I see that you have been staring at her, but I'm afraid that's not what you are thinking."

"Then what do you think of me, Your Majesty?" Jiang Lan asked with interest.

"Xia Jin's facial features are heroic and her appearance is extraordinary. She has been fighting and fighting on the border all year round. Compared with ordinary women, she has a more iron-blooded killing flavor. This temperament is not common in the imperial capital, not to mention in the imperial capital, but in the entire It’s not common in Daxia either.”

"What do you think you are thinking?" Emperor Xia still sneered, as if he was dissatisfied with him just staring at Xia Jin leaving.

Jiang Lan did not defend herself, but said seriously, "Indeed, it is rare for a woman like General Xia Jin to be a woman, and her temperament is very different from ordinary women..."

"anything else?"

Emperor Xia looked at him with cold eyes, as if if he said one more word, he would pull out the Xia Yu sword and immediately poke several big holes in his body.

"But compared with Your Majesty, it is still far behind. Your Majesty is the empress of the ages. The only empress who has appeared in thousands or even tens of thousands of years. General Xia Jin is just a general. In front of Your Majesty, Ruona Compared with the bright moon, the firefly looks dim." Jiang Lan seemed to think about it carefully before commenting again.

When Emperor Xia heard this, the corners of his mouth curved slightly, and then he snorted coldly, turned around, and returned to his throne.

"I almost forgot, do you have something else that you haven't told me about?"

"Could it be that I can't hear the rumors in the imperial capital these days?"

However, as soon as he sat back on the throne, Emperor Xia seemed to have remembered something and looked at Jiang Lan coldly.

"It seems that His Majesty is paying more and more attention to me now. Should I stop being jealous?" Jiang Lan asked with a smile on his face without answering.

"Am I jealous of you? It's a joke."

Emperor Xia still crossed his arms, raised his snow-white chin slightly, and said with disdain, "Don't forget the agreement between you and me. Don't forget what you said."

She also heard the implication of Jiang Lan's words. Did she ask too many questions? She had to take care of everything.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, I know what's going on."

"If nothing happens, I will resign first."

Jiang Lan had no intention of explaining his relationship with Fa Miaoyin.

Seeing Jiang Lan's perfunctory attitude, Emperor Xia raised his eyebrows.

However, thinking about what he said about the barbarians just now, he also guessed that Jiang Lan might have something to do with Fairy Miaoyin, and it was definitely not the messy rumors in the imperial capital.

"Forget it if you don't tell me, I'm not interested either." She waved her hand.

Jiang Lan left as he was told, and then returned to the side hall, taking You'er with him to his bedroom in the palace.

As Lord Feng, he naturally has his own palace, but after the ceremony, he always returns directly to the Prime Minister's Mansion and has not been here yet.

"Feng Chengdian? This name is really unpleasant."

Jiang Lan glanced at the plaque, but was too lazy to ask the palace maid to change it.

The palace is very grand and spacious, with many maids waiting outside. The palace is kept spotless and clean, and incense burners are burning for concentration.

In addition to the main hall, there are several side halls and courtyards at the back, so there is no problem for daily practice and sleeping.

"By the way, take a look at Qi Qingxuan's recent movements..."

After rejecting many palace ladies, Jiang Lan asked You'er to practice in the side hall, while he began to pay attention to the plans on the other side.

After the few followers he wanted arrived in the imperial capital, he had to leave.

Qi Qingxuan has many backup plans, so he can pay close attention to his movements now.

…

At the same time, in a place extremely far away from Zhongtian State.

The waves are rolling, hitting the dense rocks like fine tidal mist. There are many cargo ships, giant boats, and large ships parked on the dock not far away.

Among them is the black-armored giant ship from Daxia. It is pitch black and made of unknown materials, but it can resist many ferocious monsters in the endless sea. In the daytime, wisps of talisman light can be seen flickering, carrying orders. The divine power that makes people tremble.

The caravans and cargo ships that come and go are escorted by these black-armored giant ships, and they trade between islands, overseas countries, and inland areas.

At this time, many experts were transporting batches of goods to the island. Several young men and women in black armor were standing on the pier, looking at the boundless wind and waves in the distance.

"Looking at the recent celestial phenomena, the wind and waves are getting bigger and bigger. The Elder Pavilion is saying that this is a bad sign. The heaven and earth are changing, and storms and earthquakes occur frequently..."

"This time, many of the merchant ships that came to Feixian Island were swallowed up by wind and waves on the way, causing heavy losses. This kind of situation was rarely seen before."

"I have heard that there is a lot of movement in the Demon Abyss. There are clan members patrolling back and forth, and they have detected demonic energy in the air."

"Hey, could it be that the demonic energy has leaked?"

"Keep your voice down, keep your voice down, don't say this nonsense. If something happens to Moyuan, all the residents of Feixian Island will be in trouble."

While these young men and women were communicating, there was sudden violent movement in the waves in the distance.

The sea water suddenly seemed to be boiling, and shocking waves rose into the sky. Among them, several huge sea beasts could be seen swimming quickly, exuding a heart-stopping pressure.

But the next moment, I saw a dazzling light flashing through, like the moonlight shining through.

The huge waves calmed down instantly, and then a few bright red blood stains spread out on the sea surface.

A peerless figure with her face covered in gauze and fluttering black silk stockings, like a goddess, walked slowly from the waves. Her feet were as bare as snow and her figure was as graceful as jade. Wherever she walked, the sea water calmed down and there was no movement at all. It seemed that Even the power of heaven and earth can be suppressed.

"It's the goddess Tantai Qing..."

"It is said that she went to the endless sea three days ago to explore the origin of the strange phenomena. I don't know what she found out, but her cultivation seems to be getting more and more unfathomable."

"He is worthy of being the number one of the younger generation on Feixian Island."

"It's just a pity that the Helian family member..."

"Stop talking, that person can't talk now."

These young men and women in black armor looked at the woman who turned into a divine light and disappeared from a distance, with admiration in their eyes.
