Chapter 248 Jiangzhou's Plan
Chapter 248 Jiangzhou's Plan
Zuoqiu Juemin said excitedly: "Xiao Fei's preaching this time not only gave birth to five new Void-level practitioners, but also 358 Qi-transforming practitioners entered the Spirit-transforming stage. It is truly a miracle! I have already issued a gag order, and no one is allowed to mention this matter."
Liu Dabazi agreed, "Once this matter is leaked, its influence will be unprecedentedly strong. Xiaofei will probably have a hard time practicing in the future, and Xiuzhou may also be dragged into the vortex. Juemin is thoughtful and keeping it secret is the best policy."
Xia Zhongnan had never expected that this "preaching" would have such an amazing effect, and he couldn't help feeling a little excited.
This also indirectly proves that his path of cultivation does indeed lead to a vast world.
Although he is not afraid of the powerful Hedao masters at present, he still lacks sufficient deterrence, so it is safer to keep a low profile for a while. When he takes another big step forward, the influence brought by "preaching" will become a boost to his prestige, sweeping across the Donggu domain and even the entire Cangmang world, and it will no longer be out of reach.
At this time, the guards of the governor's mansion reported that a man and a woman came to the governor's mansion with Zhao Delin's token to visit Xia Zhongnan, and they had been brought here.
Xia Zhongnan recognized the person instantly and glanced at Xu Qian unconsciously.
Xu Qian smiled and said, "Now that they are here, please invite them in!"
A moment later, a man and a woman walked into the room led by the guards.
The woman was naturally Yuan Bingyu, and the man was a middle-aged man who seemed to be her father, and also possessed the cultivation level of nothingness.
The man walked into the room and was suddenly shocked.
He didn't expect that the thirteen people in the room were all practitioners in the realm of nothingness.
Yuan Bingyu didn't pay much attention to it. When she saw Xia Zhongnan, she immediately smiled and said, "Bingyu greets Brother Xia, Sister Xu, Lord Zhao, and all the... Lords!"
Then she pulled the man aside and introduced him: "Brother Xia, this is my father Yuan Qingchao. Father, these two are Brother Xia and Sister Xu!"
Xia Zhongnan and Xu Qian sat in high seats. Yuan Qing bowed to them and said, "Greetings, Fellow Daoist Xia and Fellow Daoist Xu!"
Xia Zhongnan responded by saying, "So you are Miss Yuan's father. Please take a seat!"
When the two of them sat down, Zhao Delin asked, "Fellow Daoist Yuan, are you the master of the mysterious force from Jiangzhou - Zhenwu Palace?"
Yuan Qingchao replied: "It is me!"
Zhao Delin continued, "In the heyday of the Bai Kingdom, the Zhenwu Palace was very famous, and it had several ethereal realm monks. Later, the Bai Kingdom changed drastically. I don't know why the Palace did not follow the remnants into the Maitreya Divine Realm, but stayed in Jiangzhou?"
Yuan Qingchao sighed, "During the heyday of my Zhenwu Palace, there were five powerful masters in the ethereal realm in the palace, and they were all my junior brothers. The Bai Kingdom suffered a great change, and my palace did its best to help the court resist the demons, resulting in the heroic sacrifice of four junior brothers and more than 300 elite disciples. In that mighty torrent, no matter how powerful the Palace was, it was inevitably swept away and wiped out. I was heartbroken and just wanted to protect my family and surviving disciples, so I tried to fake my death and quietly returned to the sect to live in seclusion. The king didn't know that I was still alive, and did not inform the Palace when evacuating, so I had no face to return to Baidu."
After hearing Yuan Qingchao's past, everyone couldn't help but sigh with emotion. In front of the wheel of fate, even a cultivator in the ethereal realm is just a slightly stronger speck of dust. It is a great fortune to be able to survive.
Yuan Qingchao continued, "If my daughter hadn't left home without permission, I would never have set foot in the world again. Daoist Xia fought against the two ancient Buddhas with his own strength and risked his life to escort my daughter away from the Maitreya Divine Realm. Yuan Qingchao will never forget this kindness. If Daoist Xia has any orders, I will go through fire and water without hesitation."
Yuan Bingyu ran away from home, and the Zhenwu Temple was like an ant on a hot pot, extremely anxious. After Zhao Delin sent someone to inform him of the news, Yuan Qingchao rushed to Lanxiu City. When he saw Yuan Bingyu, he realized that she had actually entered the Maitreya Divine Realm alone. What happened next shocked Yuan Qingchao, and he once suspected that Yuan Bingyu was making up a lie.
It is said that in order to save Yuan Bingyu, a cultivator in the ethereal realm named Xia Zhongnan resisted the two ancient Buddhas and brought her from the Maitreya Divine Realm to Lanxiu City. The two ancient Buddhas retreated when they saw the difficulty... Yuan Qingchao felt that Yuan Bingyu had simply underestimated his wisdom. How could such a thing happen against common sense?
However, Yuan Bingyu swore that it was true. At this time, Zhao Delin and Xia Zhongnan had left Lanxiu City. Yuan Bingyu held Zhao Delin's token in his hand, and the two of them went directly to the governor's mansion. Yuan Qingchao also wanted to meet Xia Zhongnan and see what kind of person he was.
The guards of the governor's mansion did not dare to neglect Zhao Delin's token and led them into the Wentian Palace. The majesty of the Wentian Palace far exceeded that of the Zhenwu Palace, especially the "Heavenly Questions" written by Xia Zhongnan engraved on the huge stone in the outer courtyard, which immediately shocked him.
His intuition told him that this Wentian Palace must be an ancient sect with a profound heritage. Here, he saw thirteen ethereal realm cultivators, and their aura was comparable to that of himself, who had long been the head of a large sect. However, Xia Zhongnan seemed ordinary at first glance, and he did not even exude the pressure that a ethereal realm cultivator should have...
However, upon closer inspection, he was able to sit firmly in the main position among many practitioners in the Void Realm, and he seemed so calm and unhurried. This was rare and awe-inspiring. In an instant, he had a new understanding of Xia Zhongnan's unfathomable depth.
Next, he recounted the story of how Xia Zhongnan protected Yuan Bingyu, resisted two ancient Buddhas, and finally escaped from Maha City, intending to observe everyone's reactions in order to determine the authenticity of the matter.
The others present were already familiar with this matter, so they looked normal. However, Lang Zhengfeng, Xu Shouting, Xiang Tianyu, Sheng Guanchao and others heard about it for the first time, and they immediately looked at Xia Zhongnan in surprise.
Lang Zhengfeng asked: "Xiao Fei, can you really resist two ancient Buddhas alone?"
Xia Zhongnan responded: "I am now capable of fighting two 'Fusion Avenue' level cultivators alone. From now on, no one will dare to provoke us easily!"
After that, he pulled out the red staff of Yutian Ancient Buddha from the other dimension and threw it forward: "This is Yutian's magic weapon!"
After Xia Zhongnan recovered, he took the red tin staff, erased all traces of the ancient Buddha Yutian, and put it into his otherworldly world.
This move shocked Lang Zhengfeng, Yuan Qingchao, Xu Shouting, Xiang Tianyu and others. They had never expected that Xia Zhongnan could seize the weapon of Yutian Ancient Buddha. Why would he be afraid of Maha City?
Lang Zhengfeng stared at Xia Zhongnan with mixed feelings.
He had always been optimistic about Xia Zhongnan, but when they first met, Xia Zhongnan was only at the initial stage of Qi transformation. He never thought that over the years, he would be able to fight against the supreme "Fusion Avenue" strongman.
After everyone calmed down, Zhao Delin said, "Xiao Fei has already said that our situation has been exchanged with Maha City. Although it is not appropriate to attack directly, I think it is time to eliminate the Maha Cult forces in Jiangzhou!"
Liu Dabazi agreed: "What Delin said is very true. The Maha Cult is constantly eroding Xiuzhou. Jiangzhou, as the backing of Xiuzhou, is controlled by the Maha Cult. This is really disturbing!"
