Human Heart, Demon Heart
"Heaven Ascending Momentum" was a well-known term. There was no doubt that those who could pass through the "Heaven Ascending Momentum" would have the will to ascend to the heavens. ()
Even the Dou Xian experts who guarded the "Hundred Immortals Society's Ji Hall" might not be able to ascend the "Hundred Immortals Society's Ji Hall" under the activation of the "Heaven Ascending Momentum". However, Xu Anyuan's group could do it. One could imagine how firm everyone's will was.
There was no need to say much about Xu Anyuan. It was unknown how many times he had experienced life and death.
For her father, Yin Zhenluo went from the Eastern Continent to the Northern Plains. She killed her way into the "Mysterious Forbidden Land" and went through several life and death situations just to cure her father's illness. In the end, her father's illness was transferred to Xu Anyuan. She once again wanted to enter the "Mysterious Forbidden Land", a terrifying place. One could see how firm her will was!
Shi Yan had always persisted in her ideals and beliefs. She hoped that the human race and the demon race could coexist peacefully. Even if there was great danger, she would not hesitate. As the little princess of the demon race, she was regarded as an anomaly by the human race. However, she was able to take the risk alone and come to the Northern Continent's imperial city without a change in expression. She persisted and pressed forward. This was rare.
What made people feel the most ridiculous was that wild wolf. It clearly looked like an extremely low level wild wolf, but it was leisurely and incomparably relaxed. This caused countless people to be astonished and amazed. In their eyes, this was simply a miracle.
"Hundred Immortals Society's Ji Hall."
This was the supreme symbol of the Beizhou Dynasty. The civil and military officials of the Beizhou Dynasty, the Three Dukes, Six Ministries, and Nine Ministers, all civil and military generals, all guarded this hall.
Xu Anyuan looked at the "Hundred Immortals Society's Ji Hall." It looked as if it had experienced the erosion of countless years. It was filled with a vicissitudes of life. It was long and desolate. It was as if it had stood in the wind and snow for countless years, enduring for a long time, magnificent and vast.
In the Ji Hall of the Hundred Immortals Society, every corner was carved with all kinds of exquisite patterns. These patterns contained all kinds of immortal aura and restrictions. The combination of immortal aura and restrictions was incomparably terrifying. Xuanyuan pondered.
"If this Hundred Immortals Society's Ji Hall is activated, it will definitely be incomparably terrifying."
He knew that there were many things that he couldn't contend with. Now, he could only rely on some reasonable things and human relations to restrain the supreme existences like the Beizhou Dynasty. These existences could at least pinch Xuanyuan and his companions to death with one finger. This trip was full of dangers, and he didn't know whether he could survive or not!
In front of the Hundred Immortals Society's Ji Hall stood one hundred and eight seventh grade Dou Emperors. The outermost imperial city of the Northern Prefecture was guarded by Dou Emperors. The three outer and three inner cities were guarded by first grade to sixth grade Dou Emperors, all the way to the highest Ji Hall of the Hundred Immortals Society. Only seventh grade Dou Emperors were qualified to become imperial city warriors. One could imagine how strict the hierarchy in the imperial city of the Northern Prefecture was.
When Xuanyuan and his companions arrived in front of the Hundred Immortals Society's Ji Hall, every warrior standing guard in front of the hall wore snow-white battle armor. Their gazes were focused and they stood straight like javelins. Their postures were straight like pine trees, with broadswords at their waists and longswords in their hands.
Xuanyuan smiled without saying a word and directly stepped into the Hundred Immortals Society's Ji Hall.
From the Hundred Immortals Society's Ji Hall flowed the majesty of an immortal. It made people revere it, but it didn't move Xuanyuan's heart in the slightest.
After walking one hundred and eight meters, Xuanyuan stepped into the Hundred Immortals Society's Ji Hall. Looking around, he saw two rows of civil and military officials lined up in a row. The civil officials were led by the Three Dukes, while the military officials were led by the Emperor of Mount Tai.
The civil officials' eyes were sharp and their brows were sharp. The military officials' murderous aura was soaring. The aura of civil and military officials merged into one, complementing each other.
An invisible pressure enveloped the group of people, causing them to feel oppressed. Immediately, the imposing manner of Xuanyuan and his companions was suppressed by a large amount, putting them in a passive position.
Even so, Xuanyuan wasn't dominated by this aura. Instead, he looked at the great hall with an open heart and looked straight ahead. In the center of the Royal Court, he cupped his hands and saluted:
"Sengoku's true disciple Xuanyuan greets the Northern Prefecture's emperor!"
Yin Zhenluo and Shi Yan did the same.
"Eastern Prefecture's Imperial Court, Yin Zhenluo greets the Northern Prefecture's emperor!"
"Demon Prefecture's Imperial Court, Shi Yan greets the Northern Prefecture's emperor!"
"Hehe, the fact that all of you were able to come to my Hundred Immortals Society's Ji Hall through the 'Heaven Ascension Power' is enough to show your sincerity. There's no need to be overly courteous."
In the center of the Royal Court, the appearance of the Northern Prefecture's emperor couldn't be seen clearly. All that could be seen was the rising purple aura. From his body, strands of purple dragon aura coiled around him, and the red aura weaved into the shape of a phoenix. From his words and actions, there was a kind of power that shook the mind. As expected of the emperor of a dynasty, he was supreme.
Only The Great Pig didn't look directly at the Northern Prefecture's emperor. Instead, he looked proud and condescending. Immediately, a civil official stepped out and pointed at The Great Pig and shouted sternly:
"Mere beast, why aren't you kneeling in front of the emperor!"
The Great Pig, who had transformed into a lone star, looked at the civil official coldly and sneered:
"Who do you think you are? How dare you drink me? The Northern Prefecture's emperor has already said that there's no need to be overly courteous. Furthermore, the Nightmare Ghost doesn't even dare to ask me to salute when I see him. What does a mere Northern Prefecture's emperor count for? I don't even care about the emperor of the Central Prefecture. Let me send you to the Mystic Forbidden Land to play first! "
With a sneer from The Great Pig, hundreds of millions of talismans suddenly shot up into the sky. Under the shroud of light, the civil official disappeared in front of countless eyes!
When the Northern Prefecture's emperor wanted to make a move, he realized that it was too late. He held back and muttered to himself in shock:
"The Great Emperor's restriction … What kind of existence is this lone wolf? It's really powerful!"
The moment the civil official was teleported away, there was an uproar in the Hundred Immortals Society's Ji Hall!
This was simply a 100%, 100%, 100% slap to the face!
The Three Dukes frowned but did not speak. The Great Pig's identity was special, so they did not dare to act rashly. They looked at the Northern Prefecture's emperor. After a pause, the Northern Prefecture's emperor smiled and said:
"The visitor is a guest, a young man from the Ministry of Rites. He is young and full of vigor and integrity. Great Emperor, please do not blame him. Can you teleport him back?"
The Great Pig's wolf eyes narrowed slightly as he glanced at the Northern Prefecture's emperor. He smiled and said:
"You're good with words. Since you're the emperor, I'll give you face! Back then, I met Great Emperor Cheng Sha of your Northern Province Dynasty once. The Heavenly Yin Thousand Evil Body can be considered a figure. Even if I don't give you face, I have to give him face, right? "
Everyone's hearts trembled. Cheng Sha's Celestial Yin Body was from the same generation as the Nightmare Ghost Immortal. This Lone Wolf had actually met Cheng Sha once. His seniority was so high that it left everyone speechless. No one dared to disrespect the pig-headed Great Emperor anymore.
Countless talismans revolved on the Great Pig's body. Mysterious restrictions evolved one after another. A door opened, and the Ministry of Rites who had just been teleported appeared in front of everyone again. The Ministry of Rites was in a daze. When he saw The Great Pig again, his face turned pale as if he had seen a ghost. Without saying a word, he retreated back to his position.
The Great Pig's words were arrogant. He directly mentioned the Nightmare Ghost, which made countless people fearful. Everyone could see how exquisite the restriction method he used was. It was full of ancient charm. Even the Northern Prefecture's emperor thought that with his attainments in restriction, he was definitely no match for the Great Pig!
"The Great Emperor is magnanimous!" The Northern Prefecture's emperor was neither servile nor overbearing. His words were gentle, and he had the demeanor of an emperor. Naturally, he would not be intimidated by the Great Pig. This was the territory of the Beizhou Dynasty. Even a true Great Emperor would not be able to act presumptuously here. However, the Great Pig was from the same era as the Great Emperor Cheng Sha. This surprised him greatly. No wonder Emperor Tai Shan had specially reminded him before.
Even so, the Northern Prefecture's supreme dao treasure was guarding this place. The Beizhou Dynasty's foundation was not to be trifled with!
"It's nothing. I'm just protecting this little brat on behalf of the Nightmare Ghost. Right now, the Nightmare Ghost is in the Mysterious Forbidden Area looking for a way to break the Heart-Devouring Bug. As long as this matter is over, this Great Emperor will be free. Go and talk about your matters. Don't disturb this Great Emperor. As for the other matters, I'll let you go."
Hearing the Great Pig's words, Xuanyuan's mouth twitched a few times. This damned pig was too unreliable. Even at this place, he still dared to be so arrogant and speak without thinking. The Great Emperor Cheng Sha was from the same era as the Nightmare Ghost. At that time, the Devouring Emperor had not yet appeared. Obviously, the Great Pig was relying on his rich historical foundation to use the tiger's skin as a banner!
Fortunately, the Northern Prefecture's emperor was not a hot-tempered person. If he was, he would not care so much and would just kill him first.
"I wonder why you have come to the Ji Hall of the Hundred Immortals Society?" the Northern Prefecture's emperor asked slowly.
Shiguan walked forward, bowed again and said calmly,
"In the previous period, the war between the Demon Race and the Beizhou Dynasty was all because of Shi Yan. Shi Yan is deeply guilty and has come to ask for forgiveness!"
"Princess Shi Yan, why do you say such words? If it weren't for the princess stopping the war, I'm afraid that the Beizhou Dynasty would still be in the flames of war. The people are dying and the world is in pain. My life was saved by Princess Shi Yan. All of this was because the First Prince, Cheng Yin, had plotted against the princess and severely injured her. Speaking of which, it is the fault of the Beizhou Dynasty." The Imperial Tutor's son, the Minister of War, stood up and spoke politely.
"That's right, the Minister of War's words are reasonable. The princess is young, but she is as kind as water. She bemoans the state of the universe and sympathizes with the people. She is the role model that we should all emulate. What crime is there?" The Mount Tai Emperor had also spoken. Putting aside the rumors, Shiguan's performance in the Mount Tai Imperial Residence was something he could sense with his cultivation level. He could sense it with his heart.
The Northern Prefecture's emperor did not speak. Suddenly, Cheng Yin, who was among the civil officials, stood up and said:
"This matter is all my fault. My position as the Crown Prince has been abolished and I have to suffer six days of punishment from the 'Void of Suffering'!"
After a pause, Cheng Yin continued:
"Even so, can this cover up the evil deeds of the Demon Race? Massacring cities, who did you slaughter? If you have the ability, then come at the soldiers of the Beizhou Dynasty. Why do you have to slaughter those innocent people? Burning, killing, looting, and committing all kinds of atrocities. You Demon Race are really cruel. Even if you want to kill me, I won't say a word of complaint. But you Demon Race actually laid your hands on the innocent people of the Beizhou Dynasty, causing countless deaths and injuries, destroying their homes and making them homeless. Most of them were captured by the Demon Race to cultivate themselves. Such a cruel act should be punished! "
Cheng Yin's tone was harsh, and his words struck at the heart of Shiguan. Shiguan's expression was one of sadness, because this was an undeniable fact. Cheng Yin's words were extremely provocative, and all the officials present were already having a headache from the deaths of the people in the Northern Region. Naturally, there were those who cared about the people, and when they heard Cheng Yin's words, they all agreed with him and scolded Shiguan.
"You Demon Race are really ambitious and cruel. Some people use their blood and souls to cultivate. Where is the justice in the world if such a cruel race doesn't die?"
"The Demon Race is heartless and treats the people like dogs. Such a race should not exist in this world. They deserve to die!"
"If we don't destroy the Demon Race, it will not be enough to appease our anger. How can we let go of this blood feud so easily? We swear to destroy the Demon Race until one of us dies!"
"Until one of us dies!"
Shi Yan's heart felt like it was being cut by a thousand knives. It was extremely uncomfortable, but she could only bear it alone.
"Therefore, Shi Yan has come to ask for forgiveness from the Beizhou Dynasty. I hope you can let me make up for my sins!" Shi Yan bowed again. Her words were sincere and without any ulterior motives.
Cheng Yin waved his sleeves. His face was as calm as water and his expression was fierce. He shouted coldly:
"It's easy for you to say. How can you make up for the death of hundreds of millions of people? Do you want to die to atone for your sins and end all troubles? My Beizhou Dynasty has always been clear about kindness and hatred, good and evil. This matter was caused by me. I can't wait to atone for my sins with death to face the hundreds of millions of people in the world. However, I want to keep my useful body to protect the great land of my Beizhou Dynasty. Princess Shi Yan, you have done good deeds in the world. As everyone knows, the people who are going to die are your elder brother Shi Ba and elder sister Shi Yan. What does it have to do with you? Go back. Shi Ba, Shi Da, and I will not stop until one of us dies! "
Cheng Yin's words pierced through Shiguan's heart, making her feel very uncomfortable.
Seeing that Shi Yan was suffering, Xuanyuan sighed in his heart that Cheng Yin was really powerful. Not only was he scheming, but he was also so eloquent. He demonstrated the style of the Beizhou Dynasty in every aspect! "Humph, what a joke.
There is no cause and no effect. This matter was caused by you. You coveted the fighting fire in Shi Yan's body and wanted to swallow it for yourself. For your own sake, you ignored the whole Beizhou Dynasty and hundreds of millions of people. You still have the face to say such words. You are so shameless! "
Xuanyuan's eyes were incomparably sharp, like a sharp knife, piercing people's hearts. Shi Yan was easy to bully, but he was not. He was afraid that Shi Yan was kind and wanted to come alone to resolve the grievances between the two sides. He was afraid that she would only be bullied. Therefore, he followed her closely. Everything was just as Xuanyuan had expected!
"The Demon Race has always repaid kindness with kindness and revenge with hatred. Before you did this, you should have thought of the consequences. As the future Crown Prince of the Beizhou Dynasty, you should be associated with the whole Beizhou Dynasty for good or ill. Hundreds of millions of people will be affected because of you. You only suffered six days of 'Bitter Void', but you don't know how to remedy it. Instead, you come here to fight and kill. What's the point of that? If the Beizhou Dynasty wants to start an all-out war with the Demon Race, please gather your troops and kill your way to the Demon Race. What else is there to say? Shi Yan, let's go! "
Xuanyuan immediately waved his sleeves and was about to leave. Cheng Yin's face turned pale. Xuanyuan was even more ruthless than him. It was as if they had a falling out on the spot.
At this moment, the Royal Lord of the Northern Prefecture spoke.
"Young Master Xuanyuan, you are right. That is why I have abolished Cheng Yin's position as Crown Prince. Because of the war, our Beizhou Dynasty has suffered countless casualties. Plague has broken out everywhere, and the city walls have been destroyed. The people have no place to live and are struggling to support themselves. I am very worried. I wonder what Princess Shi Yan has in mind. The Beizhou Dynasty will do its best to cooperate!"
The civil and military officials, many of whom were stubborn, shouted in unison.
"Royal Lord, please think twice. The Demon Race has evil intentions. You can't trust them easily!"
"Dear ministers, please listen to Princess Shi Yan's words before making a decision." The Royal Lord of the Northern Prefecture said calmly.
The voice of the Royal Lord of the Northern Prefecture had a kind of power that shocked the world. The civil and military officials quieted down one by one. Princess Shi Yan was very moved. At least the Human Race was willing to accept her remedy. All this was thanks to Xuanyuan. Sure enough, it was right to have Xuanyuan by her side.
"Before this, I have refined a medicine that can cure the spread of the plague everywhere. It can be integrated into the water source and let the people take it. The plague can be cured!" Shi Yan said.
"Demon Girl, what kind of vicious thoughts do you have? You actually want to attack the water source of the people of the Northern Prefecture. You want to control the people of the Beizhou Dynasty! As expected of the Demon Race, the Demon Heart never dies. You are born with a vicious heart! " An old minister pointed at Shi Yan and shouted angrily. The old man's words were very sharp and pierced people's hearts. Those who had a guilty conscience did not dare to look directly at him!
Shi Yan did not have a guilty conscience, so she was naturally fearless. She took out a box from her bosom and opened it. A pill lay quietly inside. It emitted an incomparably rich fragrance that drifted through the entire Ji Hall of the Hundred Immortals Society. It made people feel refreshed, cleansed their organs, and cleansed their blood and detoxified their bodies. It was definitely an amazing immortal pill!
Many civil and military officials exclaimed in surprise.
"What kind of immortal pill is this? It's so magical!"
"I've never seen or heard of it before."
"I only saw the fragrance of the immortal pill. It's definitely not a problem!"
Many people with good judgment made pertinent comments. At this moment, the pig-headed Great Emperor looked at the crowd with disdain and sneered, "You're the Great Emperor of Hell.
"Since ancient times, how many of you, as humans, have studied the immortal pills left behind by the Primordial Sages to heal the common people? I'm afraid that to you, the immortal pills that are used to improve your cultivation, strengthen your bodies, heal injuries, and kill have all been rummaged by you. Who would bother to rummage through these immortal pills that can heal the common people's daily illnesses? To think that all of you talk about the common people. How shameless! You even want a female demon to read through the books left behind by the Primordial Sages and refine your immortal pills! This Emperor will let all of you broaden your horizons. This immortal pill is called the 'Invulnerable Pill'. To refine this pill, you need to fuse the blood essence of the 'Invulnerable Body' into it. Once this pill is fused into a water source, it can expel all kinds of illnesses. It can also strengthen the body, make it immune to all diseases, and calm the mind … "
The Great Pig said a lot, scolding and scolding the civil and military officials present until they were worthless. The civil and military officials were so ashamed that their faces turned red.
The Emperor of the North Lands, however, did not think much of it.
Instead, he said happily, "Your Majesty is right. The little princess of the demon race is compassionate and compassionate. She has the heart to help the people of the world. My heart is filled with gratitude. Other than that, what other good ideas do you have?"
"If the Overlord agrees, I can let the ten million troops of the Devil Clan help the people of the Northern Dynasty rebuild their homes and clean up the battlefield. Once the reconstruction is complete, the ten million troops of the Devil Clan will naturally retreat, and the Northern Dynasty's army will thoroughly investigate the entire city until they are reassured!" Shi Guan's words were powerful and resonant. As soon as he finished speaking, it immediately caused an uproar.
"No! Absolutely not! "
"That's right. If the ten million demon army builds the city, then the demon army will know the weaknesses of the city in the future. If they want to attack, won't it be like a hot knife through butter?"
"That's right. In the process of rebuilding, there is no guarantee that the demon race will not take this opportunity to map out the geography of the Beizhou Dynasty, so that it can be used in the future!"
"What evil intentions!"
Cheng Yin laughed coldly, "That's true.
I also feel that this matter is inappropriate. If the demon race is sincere, then compensate us with 10,000 trillion pure energy sources, and let the Beizhou Dynasty build it ourselves! "
When Xuanyuan heard this, his heart turned cold, and he laughed angrily, "What a good Beizhou Dynasty.
"What a great Northern Dynasty! Just so-so. Shiguan no longer harbored any feelings and wanted to compensate the Northern Dynasty as much as possible. Yet, you people are so petty. What a joke!"
"Little brat, how dare you speak such nonsense! What do you know? Just a few words from the demon race's demoness and she can turn you upside down. You're the laughable one! "
"Bullshit!" Xuanyuan immediately swore, "Hasn't the Beizhou Dynasty lost enough face? The two races are at war, and there are even demons among the vassals. The Beizhou Dynasty has long since seen the mountains and rivers of your Beizhou Dynasty, why do you need to do so? Otherwise, why do you think your Beizhou Dynasty has suffered such heavy losses? Other than the Mount Tai Emperor's Heavenly Frost City, which other cities in the periphery of the Beizhou Dynasty have not fallen? "
"Shiguan asked the tens of millions of troops of the Devil Clan to rebuild the homes of the countless displaced people of the Northern Dynasty. If you still feel worried after that, you can build more city walls and set up restrictions and terrain patterns. You just have to make some changes. Why do you have so many concerns? Do you really think that Shiguan can be bullied just because she's kind-hearted?"
The civil and military officials who objected felt as if they were slapped in the face, and for a moment, they couldn't say a word.
"We do not dare to refuse Little Princess Shi Yan's kindness. Since the demon race wants to have a good relationship with the human race, our Beizhou Dynasty is not narrow-minded. Now that the millions of people of the Beizhou Dynasty are struggling to survive, since the demon race is willing to lend a helping hand, we will gladly accept it. We thank Little Princess Shi Yan for her kindness. We approve the petition!"
The Northern Imperial Lord's every word had the intention to decide the fate of the world. As soon as his voice fell, the civil and military officials loudly responded:
