His eyes were filled with unwillingness. After all his calculations, he had not anticipated this step. He, the strongest demon saint of the Crimson Nether Blood Tiger clan, had actually been used as a pawn!

He was truly unwilling and struggled desperately to resist.

However, he didn't have a treasure like the Destiny Altar in the depths of his consciousness, so he couldn't obliterate the remnant soul of the demon god at all. He could only watch helplessly as his demon soul was gradually transformed.

In fact, after the Destiny Altar's obliteration and the strongest sword of the Immortal phantom from Mount Shu, the black vertical eye was already at its weakest point.

If it hadn't possessed Souleater and launched a surprise attack, it would have been difficult to seize the body of a peerless demon saint.

But now, it was too late to say anything.

Souleater's roar was just an angry curse, no different from the previous Demon Saint Linshan and Demon Saint Nine Spiders. It had to be said that this was a very ironic thing.

He had treated Nine Spiders as a pawn, sacrificed Linshan to the Demon Emperor Bell, and himself...in the end, he couldn't escape the clutches of the black vertical eye.

"Damn... damn..."

Souleater roared continuously, but the clarity in his eyes gradually decreased. After a moment, the will belonging to Demon Saint Souleater was obliterated, and replaced by a demon soul shrouded in black energy.

At the same time, a black mysterious pattern condensed on the brow of his Crimson Nether Blood Tiger true form.

The demon body stopped struggling, and with a flash of light, it had already transformed into a human form, only the reddish eyes were slightly different from before. 'Souleater' moved his neck, a faint sneer勾 (gou - outline, evoke) appearing at the corner of his mouth, and he whispered:

"Finally reborn..."

"Hehe... Souleater will be a thing of the past from today onwards, this seat... Mo Ying!"

Turning around, Mo Ying looked up at the direction of Mount Shu, a strange look flashing in his eyes. He couldn't help but think of the human warrior he saw on the ninth floor of the Demon Suppressing Pagoda.

Although he still didn't know his true identity, for some reason, he always had a feeling that if this son was not eliminated, he would definitely become his confidant in the future.

The reason why he abandoned Lingxu Daoist in Mount Shu before and attacked that person was also based on this idea. If possible, he would naturally not let the other party go.

It was a pity that it was almost impossible now.

At least not in the short term.

Nearly half of the origin of the ninth floor of the Demon Suppressing Pagoda was obliterated, and the few swords of the Mount Shu Immortal also seriously injured him. Although he cleverly seized the body of Demon Saint Souleater.

However, the serious injuries on the demon soul could not be healed in a short time. If he acted rashly, let alone success, he might even fall.

Therefore, he could only hate it secretly now.

With a cold snort, Mo Ying muttered to himself:

"Let you live for another year, and when this seat's cultivation is fully restored, I will settle the accounts with you!"

He didn't think about using the power of the demon clan to deal with that person, not only because his injuries were too serious now, which might cause Tian Lan to have other thoughts.

It was also because the demon clan was trapped in the Southern Border, and sending strong people to take action was too dangerous.

He had personally experienced the power of that supreme treasure. Without the demon god, I'm afraid no one could do anything to that human powerhouse.

Without hesitating in place for too long, Mo Ying quickly disappeared into the void.

......

......

Mount Shu.

After the initial shock and vibration, the disciples of Mount Shu, led by the two elders, Zhenxu and Yangxu, began a vigorous reconstruction process.

The news that the eight demon saint powerhouses of the Southern Border demon clan had attacked Mount Shu also spread at a very fast speed...

The Demon Suppressing Pagoda was one of the symbols of Mount Shu and a sign of outstanding merit. Now that it was destroyed, it could actually be rebuilt, but after Lingxu Daoist weighed it, he still kept it as it was, as a warning.

The damaged Demon Emperor Bell, almost all of its spirituality had been destroyed. After refining it, he directly placed it in the center of the Mount Shu Martial Arts Field to serve as a facade.

Destroying the Demon Suppressing Pagoda and shattering the Demon Emperor Bell could definitely not be considered shameful.

After all, this was the treasure of the Crimson Nether Blood Tiger clan, one of the four major demon clans in the Southern Border, a genuine Immortal weapon that had unleashed very powerful power in the Battle of Medicine five hundred years ago.

It caused heavy casualties to the human army, and almost ten thousand people were wiped out with the sound of the bell.

Inside the Taiji Hall.

Four people sat facing each other, all on white jade futons, one was Lingxu True Monarch, the headmaster of Mount Shu, the second was Qingxu True Monarch, an elder of Mount Shu, and the third was the former master of the Sword Pavilion, Chongxu True Monarch.

Under his command, the Sword Pavilion was also rapidly mobilizing and began to integrate into Mount Shu.

The three of them were also the three most powerful elders of Mount Shu today, and in terms of status, they were stronger than Zhenxu Daoist and Yangxu Daoist in the Refining God Realm.

As for the last one, it was Chen Yuan.

Jiang He was seriously injured and was now cultivating at the Sword Enlightenment Stone in Mount Shu, while Zhao Danqing was temporarily staying in the newly built guesthouse of Mount Shu.

"Headmaster Lingxu invited me here, I wonder what's the matter?" Chen Yuan's eyes swept over the three Taoist priests in front of him, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Qingxu Daoist and Chongxu Daoist looked at each other, and then turned their attention to Headmaster True Monarch Lingxu Daoist. It seemed that it was he who led the invitation to Chen Yuan this time.

Lingxu Daoist seemed to have overcome the sad emotions of Godly Void Daoist's fall, and said indifferently:

"There are indeed some things to say about inviting Taoist friend here today."

"But say it."

"First, thank you for the previous battle. Taoist friend risked your life for my Mount Shu. This poor Taoist and the disciples of Mount Shu will remember it in our hearts and will never forget it."

"Daoist is being serious. Courtesies have already been said before. The action was only because I am a human and I took the demon god flower, so there is no need to keep it on your lips all the time.

Chen is ordered to take charge of the three southern states. Shu State is the most important. In the future, Mount Shu will need to help a little bit, so don't alienate these relationships."

Kindness mentioned for a long time becomes hatred, and Chen Yuan doesn't think that the other party owes him any favors.

"The second thing this poor Daoist wants to say is this." Lingxu Daoist nodded slightly, and then suddenly asked:

"Taoist friend comes from Dao God Palace, made a big fuss in the imperial city first, and disrupted Liangshan later, and has already forged an indelible feud with the imperial court. This poor Daoist wants to ask, what is Chen's plan? If you trust Mount Shu, can you tell me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the two True Monarchs, Qingxu and Chongxu, also turned their attention to Chen Yuan, their faces very solemn, as if they wanted to hear a real answer.

At this moment, silence fell in the Taiji Hall.

In fact, Chen Yuan's identity and the imperial court can be said to be incompatible. The many things he has done are intolerable to the imperial court. Mount Shu can actually guess what he wants to do.

But now, I want to hear his true thoughts.

Chen Yuan's eyelids drooped, his eyes flickered, and he looked at Lingxu Daoist:

"What do you mean, Daoist?"

"Hehe, this poor Daoist asked Master Chen first. I'll say it again, if you trust us, you might as well talk about it. If you don't believe it, just pretend that this poor Daoist didn't ask."

Lingxu Daoist smiled.

Chen Yuan nodded slightly. With just this sentence, he had already guessed Lingxu Daoist's purpose. No wonder he invited the two True Monarchs Qingxu and Chongxu here.

And this is exactly his purpose.

After all, if you want to control Shu State, you will inevitably have to deal with Mount Shu.

It is necessary to befriend and even bring them into your camp, otherwise, it may bring very big hidden dangers. It's just that he didn't expect Lingxu Daoist to invite him so urgently.

Thoughts flashed through his mind, but Chen Yuan's expression was upright, and he said in a deep voice:

"The Sima family's acquisition of the country is not right. Since taking control of the Central Plains, they have repeatedly had their own careful thoughts. The Jianghu refuses to accept it, and the people's livelihood is difficult. Putting aside other things, just the fact that the Northern Barbarians invaded Liang State and the King of Northern Liang led the soldiers and civilians of Liang State in a desperate battle, but the imperial court turned a blind eye and deliberately delayed it in an attempt to weaken the strength of Liang State, is not worthy of being the master of this world!"

"So..."

Chen Yuan's voice choked, he stared at the three of them for a moment, and said in a deep voice:

"I want to take it!"

The three True Monarchs remained unchanged, as if they had already expected his answer. Lingxu Daoist said:

"With Chen's current strength, I'm afraid it's still far away."

"Not far..." Chen Yuan shook his head:

"A few years ago, Chen was just a small yamen runner in Ping An County, and his cultivation was only at the beginning of Refining Skin. Now, a few years have passed, and Chen has been named Marquis of Ten Thousand Households, and his strength can fight against True Monarchs. There are more than one hundred thousand soldiers under his command. Give me a few more years, do you think Chen is not enough?"

Admittedly, the hope of overthrowing the Sima family now is indeed not great, but who can say what will happen in the future?

When he was in Qingyun Temple in the capital, Chen Yuan used this to persuade Tianxu Daoist of Taixu Palace.

The current remarks are just a change of soup but not medicine, but sometimes, these are not important, as long as they can be persuaded, it is enough.

"It seems that Chen is very confident?"

"If I didn't have a bit of confidence, Chen wouldn't have walked from the humble to the present."

"May I ask what Chen's status is in the Dao God Palace?" Lingxu Daoist began to ask about the real purpose, his face very solemn.

"Presumably, the attitudes of Jiang He and the others have already been learned by the Taoist priests. As for the other Dao Lords, they have already unified their thoughts and will fully support Chen."

"Is this true?"

"That's natural!"

"What about Biyou Palace?"

Chongxu Daoist suddenly spoke.

Qingxu Daoist also looked a little scrutinizing.

Chen Yuan raised his head and said:

"You have all seen today's events, can't you see anything?"

Chen Yuan didn't say it too clearly, but sometimes, some attitudes are enough to show everything. The three True Monarchs Lingxu Qingxu exchanged a look.

It seems that they are talking about something.

Chen Yuan didn't give them too much time to chat, and continued:

"Not only Biyou Palace, but also Taixu Palace, which has been in seclusion for many years, has also stated that it will support Chen in the future. Biyou Palace is also the line drawn by Tianxu Daoist of Taixu Palace.

To be honest, Chen has always been cautious in his life. If he didn't have some confidence, how dare he tell everything now?"

"This..."

"Today, Lingxu Daoist invited Chen here and asked about this matter. Presumably, there is no accident. He also wants to bet in the troubled times. I wonder if Chen can get into the eyes of Mount Shu?"

Chen Yuan directly opened the door to see the mountain, not giving the three of them time to think, and also completely put Lingxu and the others on the spot.

"This poor Daoist does have this intention." Lingxu Daoist was silent for a moment, and nodded slightly.

Mount Shu suffered a lot in this battle, not to mention that it was badly damaged, but it also lost a lot. The most important thing is that Mount Shu has forged an irreconcilable feud with the demon clan.

Who knows when another attack will come.

At that time, he couldn't take out a second demon god flower as a reward to invite Chen Yuan to take action. Therefore, after seeing the end of Mount Shu being almost destroyed.

After thinking about it again and again, and discussing it with the other four elders, he decided to start letting Mount Shu enter the world.

One is for future development, and the other is to hope to win over a strong ally. The strength of Dao God Palace is extraordinary, and Chen Yuan has a righteous name.

He is currently the most suitable candidate.

"Chen has a kindness to Mount Shu. Logically speaking, he should fully support it, but Mount Shu has been passed down for thousands of years, and one carelessness may lead to a complete defeat and bury the foundation of thousands of years. This poor Daoist is also a little hesitant."

"Since the Taoist has said so, then I won't hide it. Shu State is a must-have place for Chen and will never let it go.

Shu West is all in my hands, and Shu Central is just fish on the cutting board. Only Shu East is controlled by Mount Shu. If we can't form an alliance, then we can only meet with swords and soldiers in the future.

It's just that Chen doesn't like fighting in his life, and Mount Shu is a fairy gate in the world, and has made great contributions to the human race. I really don't want this to happen. I hope all Taoist friends can think carefully."

These words are not only to win over and show strength, but also some faint threats. He did not hide it and directly expressed his attitude to them.

They actually know these things in their hearts, otherwise there would be no invitation today. Therefore, Chen Yuan is sure that they will not be angered by the threat.

"If Mount Shu helps Chen win the world, then what will happen in the future?"

Chen Yuan smiled faintly:

"If there is really such a day, Mount Shu will be the state religion and enjoy supreme glory. Chen can even make a promise that as long as Mount Shu does not betray, as long as I am here, Mount Shu will not be destroyed. Are you relieved?"

"This..."

It has to be said that although Chen Yuan's promises are only verbal, the few people are still quite tempted. After all, once it becomes a state religion, Mount Shu can even be comparable to the current status of Spirit Mountain.

"Chen takes the world, is it just for ambition?"

Qingxu Daoist continued to ask.

Chen Yuan shook his head: "Ambition is one of them. May I ask, who doesn't covet the position of Ninth Five Supreme? Chen is just a common man, so naturally he has this idea, but there is a deeper reason. Jingtai is jealous and will not tolerate me. If I don't resist, I will be killed by him in the future. It is also a helpless move.

In addition to this, there is a wish."

"What wish?"

Several people looked at Chen Yuan with burning eyes.

Chen Yuan smiled faintly, stood up, turned his back to the three of them, looked into the distance, and said softly:

"May the human race in the Central Plains be peaceful forever, may the Jianghu turmoil disappear from now on, may we build a vast and eternal country, may all people of my human race be like dragons!"

It has to be said that Chen Yuan, this bi (币 - currency, metaphorically: dude),装 (zhuang - pretend) played it very beautifully. Coupled with his actions, it has a sense of determination, and it even makes the three True Monarchs of Taiji Hall speechless.

Their eyes seemed to light up, and they only felt that Chen Yuan's figure was exceptionally tall at this moment.

Lingxu Daoist never thought that Chen Yuan could say such words. These words are unknown whether they are true or false, but looking at his actions, they do not seem to be disguised.

"Senior brother."

"Headmaster senior brother."

The two Daoists Qingxu and Chongxu turned their attention to Lingxu and nodded at the same time. Obviously, under the impetus of various reasons, coupled with Chen Yuan's words now, they have been touched.

People who can say such remarks will inevitably give birth to a trust. Moreover, investing in Chen Yuan is also the best choice for the current Mount Shu.

Unless he is really useless and has no future, Mount Shu will bet on him. The only difference is how much effort they put in.

Mount Shu has a good relationship with the former Chu royal family. When the dynasty changed, it naturally did not get the greatest benefits. Looking at the status of Spirit Mountain now, they naturally have some covetousness.

Now, it is replaying the scene more than two hundred years ago. The world is about to be in chaos, and Mount Shu must make a choice that will completely determine its fate.

"Chen has this wish, and this poor Daoist yearns for it. If there is a real rebellion, Mount Shu will definitely help you. As for the promise just now, this poor Daoist believes that the Taoist friend will not break his promise."

Lingxu Daoist stood up and said in a deep voice.

"With the help of Mount Shu's immortal sect, Shu State can be settled. Chen will thank all the Taoist priests on behalf of the hundreds of millions of people in Shu State." Chen Yuan turned around, cupped his hands and clasped his fists.

......

......

Another powerful ally has been drawn in, and Chen Yuan's power can be said to have expanded directly. Shu East is a fertile land comparable to Shu West.

Mount Shu is also one of the immortal sects, with a deep foundation, and there are three Sword Dao True Monarchs. With their help, Chen Yuan has basically controlled the entire Shu State now.

Even if only talking about the strength of the Huayang battle, it has far exceeded the Northern Liang King Wei Jinfeng and the human scum, the Town South King Nangong Lie.

He has the confidence to really overturn the table.

The battle of Mount Shu is definitely not a loss!

But this is not enough. Not only is his strength still lacking, but he has not yet won over the strong dragon of Biyou Palace in Nan State. He must continue to expand.

Inside the guesthouse of Mount Shu, Chen Yuan, who had left the Taiji Hall, entered the guesthouse almost without stopping and found Zhao Danqing, the headmaster of Biyou Palace who was closing his eyes and breathing.

"Headmaster Zhao."

Chen Yuan nodded slightly.

Zhao Danqing personally poured a cup of spiritual tea for Chen Yuan and smiled:

"This tea is good. It is a specialty of Biyou Palace. Master Chen, please have a taste."

"Okay."

Chen Yuan nodded, picked up the teacup and took a sip. It was extremely bitter at the entrance, but it contained a hint of sweetness in the stomach, which was endlessly memorable.

"Good tea."

"Martial Peace Marquis came here to talk about the details of the black-robed man, right?" Zhao Danqing exchanged greetings for a few words, and then went straight to the topic.

"That's right, Chen came here now for that black-robed man." A flash of murderous intent flashed in Chen Yuan's eyes.

"I would like to hear the details."

Zhao Danqing nodded and listened quietly.

"Not long ago, Chen had a relationship with the Town South King on the border of the Southern Border. The pupil technique he practiced has the effect of detecting concealment. The black-robed man appeared today. With just one glance, Chen saw his identity."

"Master Chen means that under the black robe is the Town South King Nangong Lie?" Zhao Danqing was stunned for a moment.

"Exactly!"

.....
