Chapter 307.
This room, after Zhou An had said the words “hit me”, had already been densely arranged with formations.
If there was a formation expert here, he would only need to take one look and his scalp would feel numb.
Even if an All Saints realm expert walked into this place, they would be plunged into an unknown terror in an instant.
As for why this kind of formation was set up, of course, it was because it was necessary to use an alternative way to liver-cast one’s self and raise the proficiency of casting one’s self.
There was no way, casting one’s own body required a state that would be shattered before it was shattered, and the direction of the black jade’s employment, was such.
If one did not set up a formation for proper defense and isolation, one would only be afraid that this street would be reduced to rubble in an instant.
As for going to the sky to carry it out like before, Zhou An felt that it would not work.
The formations in the sky were not well set up, and coupled with the way of casting himself as this unique liver, Zhou An was afraid that, his reputation would be affected.
If one day, going to the jianghu, there was a legend that a certain being who roamed the jianghu and suppressed the younger generation had some sort of unique pet peeve, Zhou An was only afraid that he would die on the spot socially.
Therefore, this was the perfect venue, after all, above the sky, it was just too striking.
When Zhou An said that he wanted Black Jade to come and beat himself up, on Black Jade’s face, a flash of excitement appeared.
This little expression, that could never be faked, because Black Jade was also good at this.
Zhou An had never knocked her, and now that she had the opportunity to retaliate back, Black Jade of course would not let it go.
Thinking about this, Black Jade was also unable to hold back, carefully stretching out her index finger, gently pointing at Zhou An’s body.
This was just a test, after all, although Black Jade was stupid on the surface, she was actually smart as hell.
She was clear about Zhou An’s doggy nature, it was guaranteed that she would find an opportunity to knock her own head because of this.
Zhou An’s head was full of black lines, looking at the cautious Black Jade, helplessly saying, “I’m serious, stop acting, the excitement in your eyes, is about to overflow.”
To be honest, Black Jade’s acting skills, in Zhou An’s opinion, it was really first class, not to mention anything else, just the one thing of playing dumb, it could fool Zhou An.
After Black Jade heard these words, she completely relaxed.
She no longer hid the excitement in her eyes and launched an attack at Zhou An.
This time, it was the light of the Eight Extreme Techniques that flashed continuously.
With the experience from the last time, Black Jade naturally had no problem grasping the right balance.
Soon, before Zhou An’s eyes, a terrifying sense of oppression flashed and blasted above his Cast Self Body.
The golden light on top of his Casting Body, under this horrifying sense of oppression, became shaky and cracks appeared one after another.
After the cracks appeared, they gradually began to return to normal, and the golden light reappeared.
And before Zhou An’s eyes, a line of familiar text appeared.
[Cast Self +1]
Proficiency, it started to rise upwards again.
“Again!”
Zhou An said, “Don’t stop.”
Black Jade nodded vigorously, more excitement in his eyes.
The attacks were like a continuous rain, coming from all directions.
Luckily, there was only residual power around and a large portion of it was blocked by Zhou An’s Cast Self, and although the formation was shaking, it was very stable and absorbed all of the residual power without a single trace of it leaking out.
In this dark night, Zhou An watched the rise in proficiency and became more and more excited.
Time, was gradually passing.
Recently, no matter which country’s Jianghu could feel that there was an air of a mountain rain.
A piece of news, in the entire Jianghu, gradually spread.
The Great Yue Country, was in the process of reorganizing its army, and the purpose, was to deal with the Barbarian Country.
It was rumored that at that time, when Emperor Yun Qi was treating his illness, he was almost victimized by the Barbaric Kingdom’s underhanded tricks and fell.
Because of this, Emperor Yun Qi intended to play a big game.
It was natural that there was no way to hide the matter of the entire army.
After all, with a large army pressing down on the country, even if one tried to cover it up, they wouldn’t be able to cover up such a large number of people.
And the news, naturally, reached the Barbarian Kingdom.
The Barbarian Kingdom’s Imperial Palace.
Inside the imperial study.
At this moment, the Barbarian Kingdom’s Emperor listened to the reports from his men and fell into deep thought.
“That old thing, Emperor Yun Qi, it seems that he really wants to have a complete showdown with me.”
The Barbarian Kingdom Emperor placed the folders in his hands on the table, his eyes cold, “How does Emperor Feng Teng plan to do it?”
Below, was a monk wearing lavender clothes.
However, this monk’s appearance was very different from the other monks.
On that head, there were no ring scars, but rather densely packed runes.
His muscles were coiled all over his body, giving him a sense of an angry vajra.
In every country, there were a few topmost Heavenly Ascension Realm, and this monk, who was the high priest of the Barbarian Kingdom, equivalent to the national masters of other countries, was one of the top Heavenly Ascension Realm experts in the world, named Master Grass Cultivator.
After hearing the Barbarian Kingdom Emperor’s statement, Supreme Master Grass Cultivator shook his head and said, “What Emperor Feng Teng means is that he will release the people over.”
“Release the people over!”
The Barbarian Kingdom Emperor stood up violently, his body carrying a murderous streak like the night, “He’s afraid that he doesn’t know what he’s done, right?”
“In order to engulf the resources, to secretly mete out with me, if this matter is exposed, I’m afraid that he will be the one to die first.”
“I won’t let Emperor Feng Teng have a good time before I destroy the country.”
Nowadays, the Barbarian Kingdom was located in a remote area, and it was not too much to say that it was a barren land.
Of the four countries, it was the Barbarian Kingdom that was the weakest.
The Barbarian Kingdom at the beginning was indeed very strong, but it couldn’t hold up to the siege of the other three countries, resulting in its strength being weakened to an extremely low level.
But the good thing was that the Barbarian Kingdom occupied a place that made the other countries unwilling to desperately trek across the mountains and come over specifically to fight him.
After all, there was no emperor who was willing to consume his own national strength and give other countries an opportunity to take advantage of it.
It was also because of this that the Barbarian Kingdom had managed to survive to the present day.
But if the Great Yue country really want to throw themselves, the barbarian country is very difficult to block, perhaps the Great Yue country to pay a huge price, the barbarian country will be destroyed.
“Your Majesty, be at ease.”
Venerable Kusuo hurriedly stepped forward and said soothingly, “Emperor Feng Teng has better plans.”
Only after the Barbarian Emperor heard this did he slightly calm the killing intent in his heart, allowing himself to sit back in his position, “Speak.”
Only then did Supreme Master Grass Cultivator narrate, “Emperor Feng Teng’s intention is to wait until the Great Yue Country is halfway there, then we will directly send troops.”
“Sending troops?”
The Barbarian Emperor frowned, “Is he crazy?”
“To send troops, we should also wait until they are exhausted from trekking through the mountains, why just halfway there, let me send troops?”
He had a feeling in his heart that a person like Emperor Feng Teng would never be able to make such a dim move.
Supreme Master Grass Cultivator continued, “At that time, Emperor Feng Teng will then send out his troops and unite with the Verticality, Wild Taoist Sect, and Wild Buddhist Sect together in a pincer attack against the Great Yue Country.”
“At that time, the Great Yue Country is in a state of being pinched from front to back, and will inevitably be unable to care about the front and back, and will inevitably be overthrown.”
“Then, it will take advantage of the situation and destroy the Great Chu Kingdom.”
When the words came to this point, Senior Grass Cultivator closed his mouth and said no more.
He had already said what needed to be said.
The rest would depend on the choice of the Barbarian Kingdom’s Emperor.
Being able to sit in the position of Emperor, the Barbarian Kingdom Emperor naturally had a brain, and with just a slight thought, he was able to think of the things that would follow.
“Hehe, Emperor Feng Teng, playing a good hand of abacus, I can hear the sound of the abacus even in the Barbarian Kingdom.”
The Barbarian Emperor laughed coldly, “Destroy the Great Yue Country, then destroy the Great Chu Country, at that time, it will be my Barbarian Country.”
“He, Emperor Feng Teng, wants to be the one to unify the world after the Great Domain Dynasty, I’ve long seen that.”
Venerable Grass Cultivator was silent.
As a matter of fact, he had also seen it, but the current problem was that the Barbarian Kingdom didn’t seem to have a choice.
If you are unwilling, then zoom over to the Yue Kingdom and beat you to a pulp.
If you are willing, the only way to follow may be to be engulfed, but only to live for a while longer.
Master Grass Cultivator felt that this already seemed to be a dead end for the Barbarian Kingdom.
The Barbarian Emperor pondered slightly, then nodded his head and said, “Okay.”
After this answer appeared, Supreme Master Grass Cultivator was slightly stunned.
He truly did not expect that the Barbarian Emperor would agree so painfully and without the slightest hesitation.
The Barbarian Emperor turned his head and looked at Supreme Master Grass Cultivator, saying, “Is it that you feel that this decision of mine is too hasty?”
Supreme Master Grass Cultivator hurriedly bowed his head and said, “Your Majesty, I wouldn’t dare, as long as it’s something that Your Majesty has decided, it won’t be hasty.”
The Barbarian Emperor sighed, then stood up.
He went back and forth, walking around the imperial study continuously.
After walking for roughly an incense stick’s worth of effort, he then stopped.
“Do you think that the Barbarian Kingdom has a chance of survival?” The Barbarian Emperor asked.
Supreme Master Grass Cultivator shook his head and said, “There is absolutely no chance of survival.”
This situation was nothing more than living for a while longer, and in the end, they would all die.
That was why he thought that it was a situation of certain death, with no so-called chance of survival.
“Wrong.”
The Barbarian Emperor slowly said, “The only chance of survival lies with the Verticality, Wild Dao Sect, and Wild Buddhist Sect.”
Senior Grass Cultivator was slightly stunned, not understanding what the Barbarian Emperor meant, but he did not continue to ask.
This was because he knew that since the Barbarian Emperor had said this, he would absolutely continue.
As expected, when the Barbarian Emperor finished his sentence, he only paused slightly for a moment before continuing to speak.
“The so-called chance of survival is in the power of those few jianghu demons.”
“After Emperor Feng Teng destroys us and then the Great Chu Kingdom, he will unify the entire world, do you think that by the time he has united the entire world, he will allow indulgence in the existence of those jianghu forces?”
Supreme Master Grass Cultivator thought for a moment, then shook his head, “Never, this matter is absolutely impossible, when Emperor Feng Teng unifies all the forces, then when Emperor Feng Teng comes back to his senses, he will absolutely prioritize erasing a few of those fellows.”
“Because no emperor would ever let some unstable factors exist, and at that time, when the world is unified, wanting to erase them would be as easy as a slap in the face.”
“Solve them one by one, simple and easy.”
The Barbarian Emperor nodded and said, “Therefore, during the siege of the Great Yue and Great Chu Kingdoms, there is only one thing we have to do, help the three forces, the Verticality, Wild Dao Sect, and the Wild Buddha Sect, to unite and become a single nation.”
When those words were spoken, Senior Grass Cultivator quickly reacted with a look of excitement on his face.
“Your Majesty is truly high!”
It had to be said that being able to achieve this position was indeed high.
This method was actually very simple, it was to utilize everyone’s mindset of not wanting to die.
Think about it, if the Great Yue and Great Chu States were exterminated, when the three forces of Verticality, the Wild Dao Sect and the Wild Buddha Sect merged into one nation, it would actually be a terrifying thing.
Together with the Barbarian Kingdom, it would be entirely possible to fight the Great Qi Kingdom to a draw, and at that point, it would become a standoff between the two sides, which would also give the Barbarian Kingdom a new opportunity.
As for the verticality, whether they would do it or not, in the view of the Grass Cultivating Superior, that was something that they would absolutely do.
Because no one wants to die.
If everyone didn’t want to die, then they would have to join forces to fight against it, otherwise at that point, the one who would die would be themselves.
The Barbarian Emperor nodded and said, “Therefore, when the battle occurs, what we need to do is to secretly contact these people, never let them have any other ideas, and also make them agree to our ploy, this matter will be left to you.”
Senior Grass Cultivator nodded, stating that he would absolutely do it.
After all, this was also a matter of his own life.
After the two of them talked for a little while longer, then, Senior Master Kusakushu left the Imperial Study Room.
Within the imperial study, silence returned once again.
The Barbarian Emperor, on the other hand, returned to his seat, staring at the pen, ink, paper and inkstone in front of him, and fell into deep thought.
Although the plan had already been thought out, he had to be careful, because the situation today, had become more and more chaotic, and the slightest carelessness was a situation of falling.
“Heroes emerge from the chaotic world, I don’t know who has the chance, to be able to rise in this chaotic world, maybe it’s that kid.”
In front of his eyes, a person’s appearance surfaced, it was Zhou An who was blown up as a miracle by the Jianghu.
Whether it was the jianghu demons such as Zong Sex, or the Barbarian Kingdom’s side, there was a generalization that Zhou An was simply too difficult to kill.
Precisely because it was hard to kill, the more impressions it left on them.
The Barbarian Emperor even felt that when this chaotic world came, perhaps Zhou An would be able to take off from here.
But feeling was feeling, whether or not it could be like that, it still depended on him.
“Taking advantage of this chaotic world, I will find the opportunity to completely kill you.” The Barbarian Emperor clenched his fists, a decision already made in his mind.
Above the desk, the lamps were constantly swaying, and with the gloomy face of the Barbarian Emperor, it made even this imperial study look lonely and gloomy.
In the jianghu, it was all like a mountain rain, while on the other side, at this moment, in the imperial palace of the Great Yue Country, Emperor Yun Qi was checking out a large number of zhangzhi (濂忔姌).
The matter of sending troops to the barbarian country was already imminent, as if an arrow was on the string.
So at this moment, Emperor Yun Qi did not have the slightest relaxation.
What he was looking at were all the zhang folds from various places to mobilize troops.
“What did the side of the Great Chu Kingdom say?” Emperor Yun Qi asked.
Below, a black shadow stood and respectfully replied, “Emperor Xingwu said that they are also ready, and only need us to send out our troops, and they will secretly move out.”
“Can it be hidden?” Emperor Yun Qi asked, “It’s impossible for so many armies to set out together without alerting the Great Qi Kingdom.”
On his side, it was already impossible to hide, after all, after a large number of troops were deployed, it would attract attention.
However, what made him puzzled was that so far, the Da Chu Kingdom’s side was still calm, and he didn’t know what the hell was going on.
Again, he said that he was mobilizing his troops, but there was no news, it was simply outrageous.
If it wasn’t for the fact that the two sides had already confirmed their union, one would even suspect that the Great Chu Kingdom would not be mobilizing their troops.
This suspicion was there, but not much.
Because putting oneself in their shoes, if the Great Chu Kingdom didn’t send out troops, underneath the loss of lips and teeth, it would be the Great Chu Kingdom’s turn next.
The shadow twisted below for a while, then shook his head, “I’m not sure, but Your Majesty can rest assured, as far as I know, they might have certain hidden means.”
“Hidden means?” Emperor Yun Qi stroked his chin and nodded his head, “Anyway, it has come to such a point that we just have to send troops even if we don’t, let’s hope that Emperor Xingwu won’t make a stupid choice.”
Afterwards, Emperor Yun Qi waved his hand, allowing this black shadow to retreat, before he continued to start busying himself.
All parties were moving, but the only one that was calm was the Great Chu Kingdom.
At this moment, in the palace of Da Chu Kingdom, Emperor Xingwu looked at the folding in his hand, and after reading it, put it aside.
Eunuch Wei tucked his hands in his sleeves, looking like he wanted to doze off.
“How’s it going?” Yuan Qingyi pushed the door open and walked in with an excited expression on his face, rubbing his hands together without any rules at all.
In the Great Chu Kingdom, Yuan Qingyi was the only one who didn’t talk about rules.
Eunuch Wei raised his eyelids and glanced at him, seemingly dissatisfied that Yuan Qingyi had disturbed his sleep, then raised his palm, ready to swing out.
Yuan Qingyi immediately wimped out, “Don’t do it first, I just came over to ask about the situation.”
Eunuch Wei thought for a moment, then put his hand down.
To say that in this entire Great Chu Kingdom, the one Yuan Qingyi was most afraid of was Eunuch Wei, because Eunuch Wei was truly not speaking of martial virtues.
Emperor Xingwu also swept his gaze over at this time, “I used your elixir, for rescue, and eventually saved his lingering half life, but it was hard, he was almost oil and salt.”
“The momentum is gone, is it hard for him to still want to fight back?” Yuan Qingyi said breathlessly.
“How many people from the former dynasty are not dead asses with a temper? In our opinion, we should simply cut off his arms and legs and torture him.” Eunuch Wei’s face revealed a touch of murderous anger and waved his sleeve: “We just don’t like this kind of stubborn people.”
Yuan Qingyi said, “Eunuch Wei, don’t be anxious, although this person eats the past a bit, but in fact his heart is not bad, when the Emperor of Dafeng Kingdom wanted to destroy all the lives in the capital, it was also him who hid most of the people.”
“As the first and only hidden master in this world, we really need to rely on him this time.”
“If his heart wasn’t bad, he wouldn’t have been the first to jump out and assassinate His Majesty when we entered the capital in the first place.” Eunuch Wei sneered, “The branch of Hidden Master is too difficult, this guy hid all the information at that time, but unfortunately, as soon as he makes his move, he will be exposed instantly.”
The Hidden Master, a very special branch of the Miscellaneous Sect, was also a particularly rare branch, and it was very difficult for people in this branch to cultivate.
Because hidden masters didn’t have much combat power, all they possessed was a hidden aura.
The hidden breath here was not simply hidden.
At the time, the first hidden master of Dafeng country, even able to do, let people forget each other’s degree.
It was said that this line of work of the Hidden Master, cultivated to the highest level of profundity, would make him fade away in everyone’s memories.
This is the plan of the Great Chu Kingdom.
In the beginning, the hidden master who only had half of his life left had been renewed, and whenever he was revived, he went to commit suicide in a rigid and incomparable manner.
After going back and forth, it was only half a life.
As for why he was not allowed to die.
Just like Yuan Qingyi said, this person is actually not bad, just a bit foolishly loyal.
In the beginning, using the ability of the Hidden Master, he had hidden the vast majority of people’s scents and made the crowd forget about them, which had saved countless lives.
Emperor Xingwu felt that this was a talent, so he kept it, not realizing that it would be useful now.
If all the troops, all of them, were hidden with the ability of a hidden master, and then started off, then they would be able to act as a surprise army.
The only regret was that they had no way to persuade this guy.
“I still have a few medicines here, if he commits suicide again, go ahead and save him back.” Yuan Qingyi said.
Emperor Xingwu took it and nodded without saying anything else.
He now had a second plan.
If he really couldn’t get the Hidden Master to help them when he was about to send out his troops, then he decided to come up with a handful of explicit plots and directly begin to raise his troops.
Anyway, when the time came, the Barbarian Kingdom’s side would rush over, and it would be much farther than the distance from his side.
Inside the imperial study, silence fell.
At this time, Yuan Qingyi character came out again, he unreliably looked around, looking rather bored.
Eunuch Wei was who he was, and had long since figured out Yuan Qingyi’s various personalities.
He rubbed his brow and said, ”Do you have any plans? If you do, just say it directly, we don’t like your abrasive demeanor.”
Yuan Qingyi sniffed and smiled hehehe, before he came to Eunuch Wei’s front, wanting to go and whisper a few words.
Eunuch Wei snapped and pushed Yuan Qingyi out of the way, saying, “You guy, it’s starting again, here, is there anything you can’t say?”
“I’m not talking about secrets, to talk about secrets, you definitely have to whisper.” Yuan Qingyi muttered.
At this time, he saw that Emperor Xingwu was also a bit upset, and knew that he couldn’t continue to be in a death spiral.
“Actually, it’s not like there’s no other way, why don’t we send a secret letter to Zhou An, that kid is tricky, he might have something up his sleeve.”
Zhou An?
Upon hearing those two words, Emperor Xingwu and Eunuch Wei frowned in unison.
Recently, Zhou An had been obscenely staying in Huaixi Capital, and didn’t know what he was doing, and now when they heard Yuan Qingyi say this, the two of them thought that they could also give it a try after glancing at each other.
They didn’t necessarily have to let Zhou An come to the capital, just using the secret letter transmission method could also simplify the process quite a bit.
Thinking about this, Emperor Xingwu waved his sleeve.
“Eunuch Wei, I’ll leave this matter to you.”
Eunuch Wei nodded his head and agreed, and then, soon afterward, he left the imperial study to prepare for these matters.
Within the imperial study, it immediately fell into silence.
(Soldiering the barbarian country plot is coming, overdo it)
