Hearing Zhou Bao's voice, Zhu Ba did not dare to neglect. He hurriedly put away the Demon Devil Needles and said with a smile, "It's all thanks to Your Excellency's good teaching. If it weren't for Your Excellency's generosity in teaching me the Demon Devil Needles, I would still …"
"Well, well, as I said, you don't have to be so polite with me. Although I gave you the Demon Devil Needles, you've helped me a lot over the years. It's enough to make up for it. Besides, I don't have many experts under my command. The stronger you are, the more useful you will be to me. The Demon Devil Needles will be less and less useful to me. Who else should I give them to if not you?"
"Yes, yes!"
The Demon Devil Needles were the first celestial device that Zhou Bao got. Although they could only reach the Psychic Level, they were very useful and helped Zhou Bao get through many crises. Later, because he met a strong enemy, several of them were broken. Zhou Bao's cultivation was getting higher and higher, so he put them aside. Later, because Zhou Bao wanted to practice the Extreme Yin Heavenly Sword of the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword, he began to look for Earth Vein Evil Qi with cold property. Although he did not find an Earth Vein suitable for his practice of the Extreme Yin Heavenly Sword, he found several Earth Vein Evil Qi suitable for practicing the Demon Devil Needles. Therefore, he refined the Demon Devil Needles again and gave them to Zhu Ba to enhance his strength. At the same time, he also passed on the Demon Devil Formation to him.
However, it was almost impossible for Zhu Ba to understand the Demon Devil Needles and manipulate them as freely as Zhou Bao did before. After several attempts, Zhu Ba completely abandoned the Demon Devil Formation and only practiced using his divine thoughts to manipulate the 49 Demon Devil Needles.
Zhu Ba was a lucky guy. He successfully stimulated his hidden bloodline and comprehended the mystery of divine thoughts with the cultivation of Level Five. With the 49 Demon Devil Needles, he could even fight against a Level Seven expert. Of course, it was impossible for him to kill someone at a higher level like Zhou Bao.
Seeing Zhou Bao coming out of the closed-door training, Zhu Ba was naturally the most excited one. Among the several Commanders of the Navy of Jiang City, Zhu Ba was the one who had benefited the most from Zhou Bao.
"Sir, you've finally come out of seclusion. It hasn't been very peaceful here recently!"
"Not too peaceful?!" Zhou Bao narrowed his eyes slightly, and a wisp of piercingly cold murderous intent emanated from his body. "What? Another ungrateful guy wants to take advantage of me?"
"That's not it. People from Kunlun Mountain are here!"
"Kunlun Mountain? What Kunlun Mountain? "Zhou Bao was puzzled.
"I don't know. But Jiang Xiao seems to know that this guy has been having a headache these days. That damn messenger of Kunlun Mountain has a cultivation of Level Seven and a strong Gang Qi. I'm no match for him. But fortunately, this guy is sensible. He didn't cause any trouble after hearing that Your Excellency is in closed-door training. He just said that he would talk to you after Your Excellency comes out!"
"Call Jiang Xiao here first!" Zhou Bao nodded, indicating that he understood. Then he asked Zhu Ba to find Jiang Xiao.
"A Level Seven expert! A school that can send out a Level Seven expert is definitely not to be underestimated. It seems that they are here for my Pure Yang Celestial Device, the Golden Flame Mirror. Level Seven, Level Seven, isn't Golden Rooster here? I wonder if they have bumped into each other! "
While he was thinking, he saw Zhu Ba rushing over with Jiang Xiao. Seeing Jiang Xiao's anxious expression, Zhou Bao knew that things were a little troublesome.
"Your Excellency, you've finally come out of closed-door training. I've been so anxious these days!" As soon as he saw Zhou Bao, Jiang Xiao poured out his grievances, as if he wanted to drown Zhou Bao with his grievances.
"What's the hurry? What's the hurry?" Zhou Bao laughed. "It's just people from Kunlun Mountain. What's the hurry? What kind of place is Kunlun Mountain? Why are you so concerned about it?"
"Your Excellency, you don't know what kind of place Kunlun Mountain is?" Jiang Xiao was a little surprised after hearing Zhou Bao's words.
"Should I know?"
"Your Excellency, Kunlun Mountain is one of the biggest schools in Northern Yuan, second only to the Palace of Destruction Demon. Kunlun Master, one of the three Grandmasters of Northern Yuan, came from Kunlun Mountain!"
Kunlun Master?
One of the three Grandmasters of Northern Yuan!
Speaking of this, Zhou Bao remembered. Indeed, when Northern Yuan still existed, Kunlun Master was one of the three Grandmasters, along with Dark Lord Mie Chen and Living Buddha Ba Siba, who received offerings from Northern Yuan.
However, the situation of the war in the Jin was too unexpected, and the result was also extremely unexpected. The performance of the three Great Masters was too weak compared to the rumors. Many people even thought that the three Great Masters were unworthy of their reputation.
But Zhou Bao never dared to think so.
Among the three Grandmasters, he had met Dark Lord Mie Chen, and it was not a comfortable memory.
His strength at that time was much different from what it was now. Moreover, he did not have a Pure Yang Celestial Device. He inexplicably hurt Mie Chen with the power of his Fiery Eyes and let Wang She take the opportunity to attack and injure Mie Chen.
Later, although he was seriously injured, he had the same thought as everyone else. The three Grandmasters of Northern Yuan were just so-so.
However, as his strength improved step by step, every time he recalled the scene at that time, he realized how lucky he was.
At that time, Mie Chen's cultivation was about to break through Level Nine and was half a step into the Mysterious Realm. If he had not been too careless, he would not have had the chance to use the power of his Fiery Eyes. Moreover, if his Fiery Eyes did not have the power to directly attack the spirit, which greatly exceeded Mie Chen's expectation, Wang She might not have succeeded in his sneak attack!
A series of accidents and coincidences led to that almost miraculous turnaround. But now, if Zhou Bao were to replicate it again, it would be impossible.
That was a miracle!
As for Ba Siba and Kunlun Master, they did not have the chance to attack. Ba Siba's cultivation had broken through the Mysterious Realm, but he was controlled by a fairy weapon. There was nothing more helpless in the world than this. And because he did not have the chance to attack, others did not have the chance to see the real elegance of this Living Buddha.
Once the fairy weapon was used, it repelled a thousand armies!
Kunlun Master had no choice but to retreat and seclude himself in Kunlun Mountain.
Because of this, except for a few people, no one had really seen the three Grandmasters fight. Such a weak performance did not match the reputation of the three Grandmasters. Therefore, after a period of time, people's evaluation of the three Grandmasters of Northern Yuan was actually four words: undeserved reputation!
Undeserved reputation!
Others thought so, but Zhou Bao was not so stupid. Therefore, when he heard Jiang Xiao's words, his heart sank.
"Take me to see them!"
"Yes!"
The people of Kunlun Mountain were in the small town at the foot of Jilei Mountain.
The town had begun to take shape, but because it was too remote, there were no inns. Therefore, Jiang Xiao opened a small courtyard house in the middle of the town, which was specially used to entertain those who came to see Zhou Bao. Of course, not everyone could live in this place. Only those with high status or cultivation could live here.
"You are Zhou Bao!"
A total of five people came from Kunlun Mountain. The leader was a cold-looking middle-aged man, who gave off an extremely cold spirit from head to toe, which made Zhou Bao very uncomfortable.
Except for him, the other four people were also at Level Six. They all wore the same style of clothes. At first glance, Zhou Bao knew they were in the same group.
Seeing Jiang Xiao leading Zhou Bao in, the middle-aged man asked directly before Jiang Xiao opened his mouth. His tone was very rude, which made Zhou Bao very uncomfortable.
"It seems that the people of Kunlun Mountain are really lacking in manners!" Zhou Bao's expression turned cold. He did not need to treat such an impolite guy with courtesy. "Jiang Xiao, we don't welcome such guys here. Let them go!"
After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.
"Stop!" The middle-aged man's expression turned cold. "Zhou Bao, if you leave here today, you will definitely regret it!"
"I, Zhou Bao, have never known how to write the word 'regret' in my life!" Zhou Bao looked back, his eyes flashing fiercely. "Since you want to provoke a conflict, then you have achieved your goal. Now get out of here. If you are still in my territory in an hour, I will start to kill people!"
"Your Excellency!" Jiang Xiao did not expect that things would become like this when they just met. He wanted to persuade Zhou Bao.
"You shut up!" Zhou Bao's eyes turned cold and he gave him a hard stare. "Don't bring these cats and dogs in front of us in the future!"
"Uh, yes!" Seeing Zhou Bao's cold eyes, Jiang Xiao was shocked and quickly lowered his head to answer.
"Zhou Bao, you will pay for your arrogance!" The middle-aged man's roar came from behind. Zhou Bao did not look back, but a disdainful smile flashed across his face.
"Kunlun Mountain? I'd like to see how powerful the legendary second biggest school of Northern Yuan is! "
Just like the Central Plains!
In the past, there were also schools of martial arts in Northern Yuan. However, in this vast grassland world where the strong preyed on the weak, the weak did not have the right to survive. Therefore, there were no small schools and gangs in Jianghu like the Central Plains. In this nomadic nation and country, the local gangs that occupied land and ruled as kings had no soil to survive at all.
Schools that could survive in such a place all had great strength. In fact, the biggest school in Northern Yuan was the Palace of Destruction Demon, followed by the Kunlun Mountain. Their status was equal to or even higher than the three biggest schools in the Central Plains. It was just that the world changed too fast and the two big schools had no time to react. Coupled with the deterrence of the fairy weapon, the Clear Glass Jade Bottle, they gave up. Even so, the Jin did not dare to do anything to these two schools and acquiesced to their existence. Although they did not give as many offerings as Northern Yuan, they still gave more preferential treatment. Zhou Bao did not care about this, but he knew about it. It was just that he had never thought of getting involved with these two schools. Therefore, at the beginning, when Zhu Ba and Jiang Xiao mentioned it, he did not think of it for a while.
However, even if he remembered it, there was nothing he could do. He had never thought of building a good relationship with these two schools. Not to mention the Palace of Destruction Demon, Mie Chen was severely injured by him. How could they treat him nicely? As for the old tortoise Kunlun Master, he was not familiar with him and did not think that the old tortoise would treat him nicely.
Therefore, he had always thought of not getting in touch with them.
But now, even if he did not get in touch with others, they came to him. From the moment he entered the siheyuan, Zhou Bao felt an extremely uncomfortable feeling. When he first saw the middle-aged man's rude greeting, Zhou Bao understood that the Kunlun Mountain wanted to make trouble for him.
He had always been impolite to this kind of people who he did not provoke, but took the initiative to provoke him. It could even be said that he deeply hated them. Therefore, when he heard the man's words, he did not have the intention to feign civility with the people from the Kunlun Mountain and left directly.
"Your Excellency, the Kunlun Mountain is one of the most powerful influences in Northern Yuan. Although Northern Yuan has been destroyed and the people of Northern Yuan have become sinners, this has not affected the two schools, the Kunlun Mountain and the Palace of Destruction Demon. They are a powerful force. Moreover, there are still many remnants of Northern Yuan in the northern prairie. They also listen to the orders of the two schools. Most importantly, Your Excellency, your territory was once the sphere of influence of the Kunlun Mountain, so …!"
"So I'd better not fall out with the Kunlun Mountain, right?" Zhou Bao asked with a smile.
"Yes, Your Excellency. I think, for the sake of yourself and your territory, it's better not to have a conflict with the people from the Kunlun Mountain!"
"That's right. From your point of view, what you said makes sense. But Jiang Xiao, there is something else you don't understand. Do you think that if I'm polite to the people from the Kunlun Mountain, they won't make trouble for me? They will. Not for anything else, but for my Pure Yang Celestial Device, they will definitely find ways to make trouble for me," Zhou Bao said softly with a helpless expression on his face.
"The fact that I have a Pure Yang Celestial Device may be able to deter those martial arts practitioners, small and medium-sized schools and well-known families. But for the Kunlun Mountain, the Palace of Destruction Demon, and even the Mingyi School, as well as those millennium families in the Central Plains, this is a piece of fat meat. It's just that this fat meat is a little greasy, and because of the shadow of the Tian Long Taoism behind me, they are not willing to act rashly. They are just waiting for an opportunity to swallow this fat meat. Although I have some capital now, I'm still very weak in the face of those giants. It's precisely because I'm too weak that I have to be more aggressive and show my powerful strength so that they will have scruples and know that I'm not easy to bully. Only in this way can we have a peaceful life here. Otherwise, if there are always people who want to take advantage of us, your life will not be easy, will it?"
"So Your Excellency has chosen the Kunlun Mountain?"
"Although the Kunlun Mountain is powerful, it is after all a school in the north. Northern Yuan has been destroyed, and its strength has been greatly reduced. Therefore, its congenitally is somewhat insufficient. Although there are experts in the school, I have a Pure Yang Celestial Device. With a Pure Yang Celestial Device, I have the confidence to fight with a Level Nine expert. As long as he dares to make a move, I will dare to challenge the Kunlun Master!"
"You want to challenge the Kunlun Master?" Jiang Xiao was stunned by Zhou Bao's words. Finally, when he heard that Zhou Bao wanted to challenge the Kunlun Master, he almost jumped up. After all, the Kunlun Master was a Level Nine expert, a grandmaster of the Northern Yuan. Although Zhou Bao had an amazing battle record, his combat capability was only at the peak of Level Eight. In any case, it was impossible for him to be compared with a Level Nine expert!
"Yes, I want to challenge the Kunlun Master!" Zhou Bao said fiercely. "Previously, I challenged Wang Yuebai of the Wang Family to establish my prestige. However, at that time, no one knew that I had a Pure Yang Celestial Device. Therefore, it was very effective to defeat an expert at the peak of Level Eight. But now it's different. A Pure Yang Celestial Device is much more valuable than an expert at the peak of Level Eight. Only by defeating a Level Nine expert and letting the world know that my combat capability is at Level Nine, will no one dare to act rashly, and no one will dare to attack us again!"
"But, is it reliable? Your Excellency, he is a Level Nine expert, and —! "
"And his cultivation is at the peak of Level Nine!" Zhou Bao smiled. "If he doesn't have this strength, how can we use him to frighten the world?"
"The Kunlun Mountain has more than one expert!" Jiang Xiao shook his head repeatedly. "The Kunlun Mountain has dominated the northwest for thousands of years, and experts emerge one after another. Moreover, it's impossible for such a millennium school to have no Pure Yang Celestial Device!"
"Of course, I've thought about this. The Kunlun Mountain must have a Pure Yang Celestial Device!" Zhou Bao sneered.
"Since you know they also have a Pure Yang Celestial Device, why —!"
"So what if they have a Pure Yang Celestial Device? I'm sure the Kunlun Master won't use it!"
"Why?"
"If he uses it, even if he kills me, the Kunlun Mountain won't exist for long!" Zhou Bao said with a smile. "The Northern Yuan is gone, but the two great sects are still here. Do you think the Jin Emperor and the three great sects of the Central Plains will be reconciled to that? They don't do anything because they are worried about the strength of the two great sects. Let's not talk about the Palace of Destruction Demon. The Kunlun Sect is big, but judging from its performance over the years, it only has one Pure Yang Celestial Device to stabilize its fate. Once it uses it, it's equivalent to revealing its trump card and letting others know its strength. Do you think the three great sects will let it go at that time? The most important thing is that I've always had an unclear relationship with the Tian Long Taoism. Once I challenge the Kunlun Master, they will definitely have scruples about this. In addition, the Kunlun Master is an expert at the peak of Level Nine and has his own pride. Therefore, he definitely won't use the Pure Yang Celestial Device at the beginning! "
"But it's better to be safe than sorry!"
"There's no 'if'. Of course, I'm not a fool. Once there's an 'if', I'll be the first to run. Even if the Kunlun Master has a Pure Yang Celestial Device, he won't be able to stop me if I want to run away!" Zhou Bao said to Jiang Xiao with an extremely confident smile. "So, Jiang Xiao, you don't have to be afraid. There's nothing to be afraid of. It's just an old school. The reason why the Kunlun Mountain jumped out is that they urgently need my Pure Yang Celestial Device to supplement their strength!"
"Your Excellency, you seem to know some inside information that I don't!" Hearing Zhou Bao's words, a trace of confusion flashed in Jiang Xiao's eyes.
