That's What Villains Are Like

During the period when Jiang Lan was temporarily living in Gouchen Palace and not involved in outside affairs.

In the Yingzhao Star Territory, on an ancient star that is extremely primitive and full of life, a majestic dojo stands, sacred and bright, with palaces and pavilions winding one after another, like a dragon lying down, straight into the sky.

This is where Yingzhao Dojo is located.

As the Yingzhao Dojo and Lu Wushan clashed, many elders and disciples participated. The main hall, which used to be crowded with people, seemed much colder. From time to time, streams of light would wrap up the jade slips and fall, conveying news from the frontier areas of the border.

"Since Lu Wushan refuses to hand over Lu Wu's soul, he will have to fight to the end. Those old stubborns have no idea that the ancient ancestor has revived. If they still insist on resisting, they will only die."

"Now that we can't attack for a long time, it's better to use our secrets and kill Lu Wushan directly, lest the Immortal Alliance finally interferes and ruins the good things of our Yingzhao Dojo."

Several ancestors and elders of Yingzhao Dojo stood quietly in the main hall, looking at the contents of the jade talismans one after another and communicating with each other, their eyes filled with deep coldness.

At this time, there were still outsiders in the hall, but they did not hide their murderous intent towards Lu Wushan.

Zhou Yuan is sitting in the main hall. He is wearing a black cloak, has long hair and deep eyes.

There is a scar on his face that seems to run through half of his face. He looks a bit ferocious, but it can't hide his heroic temperament and his lean body, which gives people a sense of explosive power.

"A bunch of trash, I asked you to bring back Lu Wu's soul, but the stalemate lasted for so long, and there is nothing you can do against Lu Wushan."

His expression was indifferent, and there seemed to be no emotional fluctuations in his eyes, and he was aloof.

"Please forgive me, ancestor."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of all the ancestors and elders in the hall changed, and they hurriedly knelt on the ground in fear.

"It will change later. Lu Wushan is huddled in the mountain gate and refuses to hand over Lu Wu's soul. Now he is probably seeking help from the Immortal Alliance. As far as I know, Lu Wushan has sent several elders to Gouchen Palace..."

"The young leader of the Immortal Alliance is now in Gouchen Palace. You can tell what Lu Wushan is thinking at a glance."

At this time, a tall man in a silk robe with an ordinary face spoke.

There were many people around him, including Qi Qingxuan, Shang Mingyu and others, and the middle-aged man speaking at this time was none other than Shang Yuanji, the former national advisor of the Shang Dynasty.

It has been a while since several people came to Yingzhao Dojo. As a near-sage figure, even Yingzhao Dojo gave him enough face.

Although he deduced from the Yuanji Vairochana Wisdom Book that a person with prosperous martial arts appeared in the Yingzhao Star Region, he did not expect that this person would be the reincarnation of Yingzhao.

After arriving at Yingzhao Dojo and making some inquiries, Shang Yuanji, Qi Qingxuan and others determined Zhou Yuan's identity.

Based on Zhou Yuan's current situation, it is naturally not easy to recruit him for Qi Qingxuan's use.

Therefore, Shang Yuanji and others stayed here temporarily under the pretense of visiting Yingzhao Dojo. Shang Yuanji, who mastered the wisdom book of Yuanji Vairochana, also made suggestions for Yingzhao Dojo. In this part of Hekai Star Domain In every battle, he always had the upper hand.

"Senior Shang means, is it possible that we are going to have a decisive battle with Lu Wushan now?"

An ancestor-level figure from the Yingzhao Dojo who had survived seven heavenly tribulations asked aloud. Although he was older than Shang Yuan, he spoke highly of him with respect and admiration.

"Everything will change if it is delayed. These days, the Star Territory is not at peace. If I am not wrong, Jiang Lan, the young leader of the Immortal Alliance, is probably also thinking about the ray of Lu Wu's soul in Lu Wu Mountain."

"He is now waiting for an opportunity to have Lu Wushan and Yingzhao Dojo fight each other. When Lu Wushan is about to be unable to hold on any longer, he can then help him. Then he can legitimately take possession of Lu Wu's soul as his own." Shang Yuanji looked at him. It is profound, contains wisdom, and speaks unhurriedly.

"Jiang Lan..."

Zhou Yuan frowned and glanced over, but not even Shang Yuanji looked at him.

If you look closely, you will find that there are tiger stripes on his forehead, exuding a faint golden light, and even the pupils are pale golden, making people dare not look directly, as if they are facing an ancient god.

This is the natural sense of oppression contained in the bloodline of Yingzhao's legacy. If ordinary people look at him for a long time, they will even be shocked to the point of splitting their livers and gallbladders.

"Jiang Lan destroyed Chongming Valley alone. His strength is terrifying, comparable to that of a saint. If we fight Lu Wushan at this time, wouldn't it just benefit him?" Some elders are still worried about this. .

"The longer the time drags on, the better it will be for Jiang Lan, unless Yingzhao Dojo really intends to give up Lu Wu's soul." Shang Yuanji said.

"Lu Wu's soul is the only way for me to recover. When I refine it, I can temporarily restore the strength of a saint. With the many foundations of my Yingzhao dojo, I don't have to be afraid even if a real saint comes."

Zhou Yuan said indifferently, "So I am bound to win Lu Wu's soul."

Shang Yuanji smiled and said, "If we want to compete for Lu Wu's soul, we will inevitably face Jiang Lan. With his character, he probably won't let Yingzhao Dojo go by then."

"And Saint Li Ran of Taiyi Sect has become a Saint King, with vast power and overwhelming power. Even if the Yingzhao Dojo can take advantage of Jiang Lan, if Saint King Li Ran is alarmed, what will happen? But it’s troublesome…”

Zhou Yuan's eyes moved slightly when he heard this, and he looked at him and said, "Since you said this, you must have something to do. If you want to help this guy fight for the luck of the Nine Provinces, you will definitely offend Li Ran. You know you can't do it, but you can't do it." You don’t look like some idiot.”

His words were indifferent and casual, and even Qi Qingxuan, who was a direct descendant of the Daxia royal family and might become the future emperor, was not taken seriously by him.

After all, Zhou Yuan's body was reshaped through the remains of Yingzhao, and Yingzhao's blood flowed in his body. As an ancient god who followed the Emperor of Heaven, the so-called future emperor was really not looked down upon by him.

Shang Yuanji felt strange in his heart. He originally thought that Zhou Yuan, the reincarnation of Yingzhao, would follow the so-called "future emperor" in this life, who was Jiang Lan.

But who would have expected that after arriving at the Yingzhao Dojo, he discovered that Zhou Yuan was not disrespectful in any way even when he mentioned the Emperor of Heaven, let alone that he had any intention of following and submitting to Jiang Lan.

Even after learning that Jiang Lan might compete with him for Lu Wu's soul, he felt great murderous intent.

All these things made him couldn't help but speculate that Zhou Yuan might not be the real reincarnation of Yingzhao, but he just had Yingzhao's blood flowing in his body...

"To be honest with you, I do have a way to kill people with a borrowed sword, to counter the Holy King Li Ran, and to hold Jiang Lan hostage." Shang Yuanji said eloquently.

Zhou Yuan's eyes suddenly glowed with golden light, burning like a golden lamp. He stared at him closely and said, "What can we do?"

With his current strength, it is not difficult to break through Lu Wushan, but he has always been afraid of Jiang Lan in Gouchen Palace.

After all, in the battle of Chongming Valley, Jiang Lan became famous and used his Eighth Realm cultivation to defeat the Saint.

If he really breaks through Lu Wushan, Jiang Lan will definitely not stand idly by. If the two of them fight, even though he has all the innate advantages of Yingzhao's legacy and can exert terrifying power, he will never be his opponent.

Facing the saint, he really has no choice now.

"After Li Ran of the Taiyi Sect becomes the Holy King, he will definitely follow the example of the ancient emperor, sacrifice the devil to heaven, and increase the fortune of the Great Xia Dynasty. In the ancient years, there was a great demon god who was born and brought disaster to Jiuzhou. Later, he was still the emperor of that era and sacrificed the fortune of the Xia Dynasty. God, I just asked for a demon-suppressing tablet."

"In the end, the great demon was sealed in a demon-suppressing well by the demon-suppressing stele." Shang Yuan said unhurriedly.

Many elders of the Yingzhao Dojo in the main hall knew about this, and their faces showed signs of surprise and confusion.

Zhou Yuan's eyes flashed, he guessed something, and said lightly, "A forbidden place like the Demon Suppressing Well drifts in time and space, and only saints can determine the coordinates of its whereabouts. Even if you guessed that Li Ran would open the Demon Suppressing Well, , what can we do if we suppress the great demon and sacrifice him to heaven?"

"Unfortunately, I happen to know where the demon-suppressing well is, so I can catch a turtle in an urn. No, it should be a saint in a well."

Shang Yuanji smiled slightly, and the brilliance flickered in the palm of his hand, as if an ancient book containing a lot of wisdom, shrouded in the mist of the glow, appeared in it.

Zhou Yuan looked around and could immediately discover the wonderful truths and wisdom of the world contained in it, as if there were no secrets in the world that had not been recorded in it.

"A book of wisdom from the ancient Buddhist sect?" He integrated Yingzhao's memory and gained a lot of knowledge, so he also recognized this object.

"You have been waiting for this day for so many days at Yingzhao Dojo, right?"

Zhou Yuan is not stupid, and he does not want to be used as a gunman.

However, he also knows that if he wants to not follow the trend, compete with the Immortal Alliance, and gain benefits from it, he must cooperate with others and stick together for warmth.

The power of Yingzhao Dojo alone is not enough to compete with the Immortal Alliance.

"If Brother Zhou helps me, I can go to the Demon Suppressing Well and find the Great Demon God before Li Ran. What awaits Li Ran then will not be the Great Demon God who has been lingering for many years and has run out of oil, but the Great Demon God in full bloom. The Great Demon God at his peak..."

Shang Yuanji smiled and did not comment on this, but the words he said made many elders in the hall change their expressions drastically, and they felt a sense of fear and trembling.

This is a saint who wants to cooperate with the demons and plot against the human race.

Even Shang Mingyu, who had always respected Shang Yuanji, couldn't help but frown slightly.

However, since she went to the Sifang Star Territory to find Shang Yuanji, many remnants of the Shang Dynasty and the elders of several dynasties have taken her as their leader. Even her orders must be obtained from Shang Yuanji and get her permission. Follow it and do it.

Her right to speak is no longer what it used to be.

Outside the Yingzhao Hall, there is a white jade-like staircase, which is like a fairy stone. It is crystal clear and has a total of 3,600 levels. It extends all the way to the depths of the dojo. The white mist is steaming and extremely misty.

On both sides, there stand solemn and majestic pillars, engraved with heroic patterns, which look like horse bodies with human faces, tiger stripes with bird wings, lifelike, as if they will come to life at any time, giving people unparalleled majesty.

At this moment, Qi Qingxuan and others had left the main hall and walked down the stairs.

"The National Master's plan is really wonderful..."

"Zhou Yuan said he would consider it this time, but from the looks of him, he seems to be very moved, and he probably won't refuse."

Qi Qingxuan had been silent when he was in the main hall just now. At this moment, his face was full of admiration and respect for Shang Yuanji.

Behind him, the former eunuch chief Wei Gong looked hesitant, hesitant to speak, and wanted to dissuade him, but in the end he sighed.

He felt that Qi Qingxuan now completely followed Shang Yuanji's lead. Not only did he actively cooperate with the demon god behind him, he even proposed how to divide part of the future territory and give it to the demon clan in order to maximize the benefits.

The countermeasures proposed by Shang Yuanji in the main hall this time were unanimously decided after discussions with the demon god behind him.

No matter how ingenious Shang Yuan is, it is impossible to say that there is a saint's method that can determine the time and space coordinates of the Demon Suppressing Well. All this is because of the help of the Demon God.

"He will agree, otherwise he will have no chance to steal Lu Wu's soul from Jiang Lan."

Shang Yuanji holds a feather fan, his posture is calm and easy-going, and his expression is calm, as if everything in the world cannot escape his eyes and is under his control and calculation.

Qi Qingxuan nodded excitedly and said, "Next, let Yingzhao Dojo launch a general attack on Lu Wushan according to the plan, confuse the public, and fool Jiang Lan?"

Shang Yuanji nodded slightly.

Things did not go as they expected. Only the next day, everyone in the Yingzhao Dojo agreed to their proposal. Orders were issued quickly. As the light and mist surged, ships and ships appeared on the ancient stars of life. The ancient warship soared into the sky, breaking through the void and speeding through the star field.

All the Taoist ethnic groups within the territory under the jurisdiction of Yingzhao Taoist Temple have received orders to assemble their armies and march towards the Kaixing Domain in a mighty manner.

Boom!

In the sky, a large number of ancient warships and flying boats are gathering. Strange beasts are galloping, birds of prey are flying into the sky, covering the sky and the sun, and the divine light is rising into the sky, making it look extremely majestic.

In addition, there are many knights and warriors coming, densely packed like a torrent, all of which are Yingzhao Dojo that has trained dead warriors and warriors for many years.

"Woooooooo..."

In the sky, the horn of war was completely blown. Ancient warships made of copper were flying with flags and shouting to shake the sky. The decisive battle between Yingzhao Star Territory and Kaixing Star Territory began.

For a time, panic and despair spread throughout Kaixing Realm.

The nearest ancient stars of life adjacent to the Kaixing Realm were the first to be plundered and cleaned. Ancient warships rumbled past, and armies rushed down like a torrent.

The huge ancient star of life instantly flowed into a river of blood, and the flames of war surged into the sky. After the battle, it was left in ruins.

The various ethnic groups in the Kaixing Star Territory never expected that the decisive battle would break out so quickly. The army from the Yingzhao Star Territory attacked even more ferociously. Wherever they passed, they were devastated and filled with corpses and remains.

After hearing the news, Lu Wushan was shocked and angry. He immediately blew the horn and mobilized the army to resist.

The star field in the sky was full of roaring sounds. Ancient warships and flying boats were speeding past, rising into the sky from the ancient stars of life, filled with murderous intent.

The decisive battle between the Yingzhao Star Territory and the Kaixing Star Territory broke out very suddenly. In just a few days, it completely affected many areas on the front lines of the two star territories.

The rest of the Sifang Star Territory was also shocked.

The other ethnic groups and forces on the ancient life planet in the Yingzhao Star Territory were too late to move and had to join the war, causing chaos everywhere.

…

The Mantuo Ancient Star in the Kaixing Star Territory is far away from the Kaixing Star Territory, and the war has not spread here yet. However, the news coming from the front line in the past few days has caused the various forces in the Mantuo Ancient Star to panic.

The clan forces that have the means are already moving their clansmen in batches, leaving their hometowns and rushing to other star regions.

Even if it is to find a remote ancient star to live temporarily, it is better than to die in the war later.

At this time, Gusu City.

"How is the investigation going?"

"It's unmistakable. The servant of the Saint of the Time clan eventually fled to Gusu City and became the son-in-law of the head of the Murong family in Gusu City..."

"The servant of the saint of the Shi clan was hit by the ancient curse of Sheli when she was escaping from the pursuit. The origin of the Shi clan's bloodline was stripped away. There is no ancient treasure in this world to restore it, so she joined the Murong family less than three years ago. He died of illness a year later."

"Luo Guyun, the third son of the Murong family, is the orphan of the saint of the time clan..."

In an inn, several strangely dressed and hooded figures gathered in the room, whispering to each other based on the information they had investigated.

The war and panic in the outside world seemed to be unable to affect them at all.

Their appearance is not much different from that of the human race, but if you look closely, you will find that there are faint golden cross cracks in their eyes and pupils, as if there are slight fluctuations in time and space.

"What should we do? Take Luo Guyun away directly?" someone asked in a low voice.

"In order to avoid our clan's pursuit, his Time clan bloodline should be sealed. I'm worried that attacking him will cause his bloodline seal to be broken early and attract the attention of the powerful in this world."

"After all, we came here secretly, so we must not make it public. The direct bloodline of the Shi clan contains the power of time and space. Once it breaks out, it will cause chaos in time and space. We will definitely not be able to escape the sight of the saints in this world..."

"I have already made inquiries and found out that Luo Guyun is not in the Murong family. He followed Murong Qiutang, the head of the Murong family, to the Gouchen Palace in the Gouchen Star Territory."

"If you want to capture him, the best way is to set up a dragnet to cover up his aura and secrets before taking action."

"But now that the Star Realm is in turmoil, he should come back early..."

The burly old man who was the leader of the group spoke with a steady gaze.

They came from the ancient world of Tuomi among the vast worlds of the heavens, and were ordered to capture the orphans of the Shi clan.

As one of the ten ancient clans in the Tuomi ancient world, the Shi clan has a profound foundation and a long inheritance. However, due to a secret disaster that year, a world lord was angry.

The huge ethnic group fell apart overnight, and the fleeing Shi tribe members were also wanted by the realm lord and were bound to be killed.

If it hadn't been for the fact that the Realm Master had accidentally sensed it some time ago, deducing that he had noticed that the orphan of the Saint of the Time Clan was still alive in the world, the various tribes in the Amitabha Ancient Realm would not have known about it.

Of course, they didn't know what kind of secrets were involved in the disaster of the Time Clan. They just knew that the Heavenly Man of the Time Clan was shot to death by the world lord in a place outside the sky. His blood was stained for hundreds of millions of miles, and visions reflected all the worlds, shocking them. Many people in the world are frightened...

There is also news that the Saint of the Shi Clan originally had a private engagement with the heir of the world lord, but she became pregnant before marriage and gave birth to a son. This matter caused a lot of commotion in the ancient Amitabha world, and there are still many versions of it. spread.

Some people also say that the Heart of Time and Space, a sacred object left by the ancestor of the Time Clan, appeared in the world and was coveted by the Realm Lord. He took it by force and deliberately fabricated rumors to destroy the Time Clan.

In short, there are all kinds of news and rumors.
