Zhang Ruochen didn’t really have anything to do with the Demon Ran Princess, but instead used the excuse of recuperating from his injuries as a temporary closed-door cultivation.
The sun rose and a new day came to the Blood God Sect.
A piece of news that shook the world spread out and travelled with lightning speed to all the major forces in the Tiantai Prefecture, and even to the entire Central Region.
“One of the four great Dharma Kings of the Blood God Sect, the Earth Elemental Dharma King, fell and was killed by a Ghost King.”
“The same Saint and the Yuluo Saint were beaten to death by mysterious powerhouses, and a large number of high-status Half-Saints of the Blood God Sect were assassinated with heavy deaths and injuries.”
……
…………
A major change had occurred in the Blood God Sect, and every piece of news that went out was like a major earthquake, causing the neighbouring sects and clans to feel worried, and everyone to be at risk.
At noon, the Blood God Sect’s Elder Pavilion sent out a decree to inform the world: “Last night, the saints and half saints that were beheaded were all lurkers of the Immortal Blood Race. Elder Yuan Gui, one of the six Saint Elders, and Chaotic Character Heavenly Palace Palace Master Yu Hua Cheng, who belonged to the top echelons of the Immortal Blood Clan, have fled.”
At the same time, the Elders’ Pavilion also published a list that was spread to the Blood God Sect’s various rudiments and various dependent forces.
Not long after, the Blood God Cult sent out a second decree, “Effective immediately, the Blood God Cult will be sealing off the mountain for three months and opening the Blood God Ancient Formation, any living beings approaching the Blood God Cult’s territory will be killed.”
The upheaval of the Blood God Sect caused a huge aftermath.
On that very day, the Blood God Sect’s various rudiments and dependent forces were in turmoil, and several of the most powerful forces in the Tiantai Prefecture were all affected.
This time, the unrest was not initiated by the Immortal Blood Clan, but rather, it was the initiative of the Blood God Cult’s senior management. Plus, a large portion of the Immortal Blood Race’s Saints and Half-Saints had already been killed or injured, so the Blood God Cult’s losses weren’t too severe, or at least didn’t injure its foundation.
Central Imperial City.
After the Empress left, the aura of heaven and earth in the Central Imperial City, dropped drastically, causing a considerable impact on this First City of the World.
However, the first central empire’s roots are deep, the system is perfect, after the empress left, the imperial city did not have a major upheaval, the imperial court ministries, the imperial city, all levels of officials, still running in an orderly manner.
Only, the administrative centre of the Imperial City was transferred from the Empress’s Ziwei Palace to the Lianzhu Mansion of the Crown Prince Wang Shiqi.
Wang Shiqi was the great disciple of Emperor Wen.
After Emperor Wen’s seclusion, Wang Shiqi was the first person of the Confucian Way.
Even the saints of Confucianism, when they saw Wang Shiqi, they had to respectfully address him as “Holy Master”.
As the Crown Prince, Wang Shiqi was the head of the civil officials.
On the power, he is also absolutely a person under ten thousand people, second only to the Queen, even if the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Divine Works, the Ministry of Heavenly Punishment ……, and so on, the six departments of the Shangshu, but also short of him a head.
Currently, it is Wang Shiqi in control of the first central empire, scheduling the world’s manpower and material resources, to defend against foreign enemies, to maintain the smoothness of the major forces.
Wang Shiqi’s Lianzhu Mansion was composed of nine mansions, arranged with nine ancient holy formations, as if they were arranged like nine stars in a row.
At this moment, in the ninth mansion of the Lianzhu Mansion, the topmost great figures of the Confucian Dao were gathered together, surrounding the four sides of a chess table.
In addition to Wang Shiqi, all of the patriarchs of the four sects of Confucianism were present, and there were even dozens of other great Confucians and holy Confucians, each of whom had a rather astonishing status, and could be called a Taishan Beidou-like existence.
If any one of them walked out, the entire world would be shaken.
The Sacred Book Talented Woman was wearing a moon white Confucian dress, a woman dressed as a man, with a light and elegant temperament, bright eyes and white teeth, and standing together with those white-bearded and white-haired old Confucians around her, she appeared to be exceptionally attention-grabbing.
The Sacred Book Talented Lady’s pair of starry eyes gazed at the chess table in the centre of the temple, her spiritual energy surging out from her eyes and immersing herself in it.
“Boom!”
The nine-foot-long chess platform became more and more gigantic, extending in all directions, evolving into a huge world of rolling mountains, much like a picture scroll of heaven and earth unfolding.
The more powerful the cultivator’s spiritual power was, the more massive and detailed the world evolved from the chess platform became in his eyes, every mountain, river, city, and person, all of them were presented.
In other words, the higher the cultivation level of the cultivator, the different worlds he saw.
This was the legendary Heaven and Earth Chess Game!
The legend of the “Heaven and Earth Chess Game” had been circulating in the Kunlun Realm for a long time, but very few cultivators were able to touch the game.
The northern part of the game represented the northern region of the First Central Empire, where blood and aura of murder filled the air.
On the chess table, billions of chess pieces were arranged together, some of them shining brightly as if they were stars in the universe, releasing explosive power fluctuations.
Chess pieces like that represented Saints.
Some other pieces, which were the most numerous, had a very dim light, and were as dense and difficult to count as dust.
They represented ordinary humans.
The Sacred Book Talented Lady’s two eyebrows were slightly knitted, and she said in a deep voice: “The battlefield of the Northern Domain has further deteriorated, in just six days, we have lost eighty-four passes in a row, and the Undying Blood Race’s pace of attack is becoming more and more ferocious, I’m afraid that it won’t take long for the sixth line of defence to be breached, and at that point in time, the entire millions of miles of the Night North Prefecture’s territory will have become the Undying Blood Race’s rampant plundering ground. ”
A large portion of the northern part of the chess stage was covered in blood qi, and it continued to encroach, pushing towards the central region.
The Undying Blood Race was coming in with a fury, and just by looking at the chess platform, one could feel the fierce aura that came over them. The armies of the First Central Empire, as well as the allied forces organised by all the major clan sects and families, were surprisingly unable to withstand it, and were collapsing.
It could be imagined that the Northern Domain must have already been killed, and every city that was breached would have thousands of humans, turned into food for the Undying Blood Clan.
If the entire Northern Domain fell, then the hundreds of millions of humans in the Northern Domain would become two-legged sheep, becoming livestock raised by the Undying Blood Clan, killing them whenever they wanted to and eating them whenever they wanted to.
Present, the top figures of the Confucian Way, all of them tensed their faces, not even daring to utter a single breath, feeling deeply worried.
“If the Empress hadn’t left, how could the Immortal Blood Race have such great courage, those several Blood Emperors must have all been scared out of their wits.”A Saint Ruler said.
Painting Sect Patriarch Chu Siyuan blew his beard and eyes out, looking quite aggressive, saying, “What’s the use of talking about this now? What’s the point of watching dryly, this Patriarch thinks that we should all kill over there right now and fight the Undying Blood Clan to the death. With the Ru Dao’s present day heritage, along with the imperial court’s army, are we still afraid of them?”
The Sacred Book Talented Lady said, “There are probably quite a few Undying Blood Clan lurkers amongst the Confucian Way as well. Once they launch an assassination campaign, I’m afraid that before the war even begins, the Confucian Way will already be over half dead or injured.”
Chu Siyuan calmed down, knowing that what the Sacred Art Talented Lady had said was the truth.
The Immortal Blood Clan had been plotting behind the scenes for eight hundred years, and had planted sleepers in all the major powers, capable of creating turmoil at any time, making even the mighty Confucianism Dao feel like throwing in the towel.
It should be known that most of the Confucian Dao were physically fragile spiritual cultivators, unable to compare to martial arts experts, and once assassinated, it would be difficult to have a chance of surviving.
The Zither Sect Patriarch, Mr Mei, said: ”One leads to the whole body, if we all rush to the Northern Domain, who can guarantee the stability of the Central Domain? Once the Central Domain is in chaos, the Human Race will also lose its foundation, and the entire world will be in turmoil. This matter, we must be cautious, and we still need to think long and hard.”
An old-faced great scholar said, “How about activating the Ru Ancestor’s Sacred Book?”
The Sacred Book Talented Lady stood amongst a group of several hundred year old old Confucians without any pressure, appearing exceptionally calm as she said, “The Ru Ancestor’s Sacred Book is indeed infinitely powerful, and when used properly, it is enough to counteract the several Blood Emperors of the Undying Blood Clan. However, in case the Undying Blood Race’s infiltrators get hold of the Ru Ancestor Sacred Book, it would undoubtedly be a disaster for humanity.”
Subsequently, her pair of bright eyes swept over the Confucian Saints present, and she said with a smile, “Among our group, there are likely to be Undying Blood Race sleepers as well.”
The crowd looked at each other in dismay, feeling quite a headache, if the Undying Blood Race’s sleepers were not pulled out and cleared out in advance, then, doing anything would be a bind.
The top figures of the Confucian Way, all of them walked out of the Ninth Mansion and continued to discuss strategies to deal with the crisis at hand.
Chu Siyuan’s temper was stubborn, insisting that he wanted to lead the entire Ru Dao’s students to the Northern Domain to go to war with the Immortal Blood Clan without rest.
“So what if we die in battle? At least there is still temperament left, which is enough to last for a hundred generations. If, however, everyone is as tied up as you are, what great things can be accomplished?”Chu Siyuan said.
All of the Sacred Scholars present understood Chu Siyuan’s temperament, and no one argued with him.
Because, even if they argued any more, it would be useless.
The Crown Prince Wang Shiqi said, ”It is not that we are not going to fight, but we have to find a way to minimise our losses, we must think it through, and remember that we cannot ruin the entire game of chess because of our impulsiveness. We are not representing ourselves, but the entire First Central Empire, the entire Kunlun Realm. Any wrong decision we make will also lead to the deaths of millions of humans.”
“What’s the point of thinking so much, it would be more straightforward to kill a few more Immortal Blood Race saints.”Chu Siyuan wanted to say this sentence, but, in the end, he held back, lest he be verbally attacked by this group of old guys again.
The great figures of the Confucian Way all fell into silence as they continued to think of strategies to deal with the situation.
Just at this moment, a sergeant in white armour, walked over, kneeled on one knee and said, “Lord Talented Lady, two monks found their way outside the Lianzhu Mansion, saying that they were a friend of yours, and that they had brought you an extraordinary gift.”
Chu Siyuan coldly laughed, blew out his beard and eyes, and said, “Unbelievable gift, how unbelievable can it be? I think it’s just a certain family’s playboy who wants to get close to Nalan girl and sent one or two things to please her.”
“Nowadays, the empire is in a time of danger, these juniors don’t know how to head to the battlefield to kill the enemy, but use their energy on this, it’s really a bit of arrogance and extravagance.”
“We are now discussing the great matters of the world, there is no need to pay attention to them.”
……
The beauty of the Sacred Book Talented Lady was known all over the world, and she was also talented, and as one of the Nine Heavenly Xuan Maidens, she naturally had countless suitors.
The Confucian saints present, all of them regarded the Sacred Book Talented Maiden as the leader of the younger generation of the Confucian Dao, and had watched her grow up since they were young, thus, in their eyes, only a few of the people on the Heroic Fugue were worthy of the Sacred Book Talented Maiden.
Those other suitors were no different from a bunch of flies, there was no need to pay attention to them, just drive them away directly.
The Sacred Book Talented Maiden’s jade fingers pinched twice, quickly projecting the results, a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, and she made a decision that surprised dozens of old antiquities present.
“I’m sorry, seniors, Dan Qing must go see those two friends first.”
The Sacred Book Talented Maiden saluted the Confucian Saints present, then, under their strange gazes, she retreated.
“What’s the situation? Could it be that someone’s heavenly pride has actually gained the favour of our high-minded Nalan girl?”Chu Siyuan was a little dazed, feeling incredulous.
