About ten days later, Sima Quan received Zhang Yan's letter. After reading it, the letter turned into ashes. `c? om
"You want me to try my best to delay …" His eyes flashed as he thought to himself, "If that's all, I won't be able to show my skills."
In fact, even if Zhang Yan didn't send a letter, he would still try his best to do it. Because once it was done, not only would it increase his weight among the sects of the nine continents, it would also make it easier for him to return to the sect in the future.
However, it was obviously impossible to go against the Ancestral Division openly, and the Lu Du clan didn't have the ability to do so. Fortunately, the Heavenly Ghost clans and the Ancestral Division seemed to be united on the surface, but at heart, they were divided and each had their own thoughts. Especially since most of the clans were unwilling to conquer the Cold Jade Ocean Continent, perhaps he could try to start from there.
After thinking for a long time, he gradually came up with an idea. He walked out of his lodging, ordered his servants not to follow him, and went to the top of the city alone.
The Heavenly Ghost's Ancestral Division's "Visit the Heavenly King City" was built with white jade and beautiful stones. It was built on the highest peak of the snowy mountain that pierced into the sky. After ten thousand years of continuous expansion and construction, it covered the entire Shocking Sky Mountain. It looked magnificent and exquisite. The city was like spring all year round. Along the way, flowers were laid out on the streets, and the fragrance of fallen petals wafted through the air.
However, the path towards the Dao within the city was extremely dangerous and steep. It was mostly built at the edge of a precipice, and when one ascended it, one would be able to see the vast world outside with a single glance and the numerous gorgeous palaces that floated on the floating islands in midair.
Even an ordinary pedestrian here was full of Qi and blood. Their skin was as black as ink, and their skin was warm and supple. Both men and women were beautiful and charming, and their eyes were bright. In terms of realm, none of them was lower than the "Internal Solid" level.
At first glance, this was nothing. Which country in the Eastern Barren didn't have tens of thousands of Xuan cultivators? But it should be known that the population of the Heavenly Ghost Royal City was more than a hundred million. If the hundreds of millions of ordinary clansmen were like this, then how many clansmen equivalent to the Spiritual Form Realm were there? And how many Demon Saints equivalent to the Metaphysic Realm were there? The potential was so great that it was hard to imagine.
When Sima Quan first came here, he was also shocked. However, he was, after all, a person who had cultivated to become a Sky Demon. His vision and knowledge were not something an ordinary person could compare to. He knew that the higher one went on the path of cultivation, the more difficult it would be. It was not just limited by talent. The biggest obstacle was the blood potion.
With the strength of the Mieming Clan, they occupied a large area of the Northern Cold Abyss. They had no choice but to force their clansmen to go out on expeditions. 80 million? There were no more than twenty Demonic Saints among them.
Moreover, the strength of Heavenly Ghost's Royal City might not be able to surpass that of the Frigid Jade Ocean Province in the past. Based on this, it could be inferred that there would not be too many Demon Saints here. Twenty or thirty would be the best they could do.
But the most frightening thing was that if these Demon Saints died in battle, it wouldn't take long for someone to replace them. Just Now, this was something to be afraid of. Therefore, in order to destroy the Heavenly Ghost Tribe, the people in this city had to be eliminated.
Then he turned a corner into a grassy field. At the corner where the clear spring flowed, there were many large pagodas in front of them. Every brick and stone was exquisitely carved from jade. At a glance, it was hard to count.
This tower was called "World Mirror", and it was rumored that it could protect Imperial City. Every Heaven Ghoul who came of age, whether they were from the ancestral clan or the branch clans, had to offer a jade brick to the ancestral clan to build this tower.
And the more beautiful and exquisite the jade was, the higher the rank. Once they were placed at the top, they would be able to receive praise and praise, and the person at the top would be able to do so. Men could be bestowed by the ancestral clan, daughters could marry, and women could enter the Ten Thousand Pagodas as sacrifices.
In the long run, the marriage of the various tribes was determined by the ranking of the jade bricks.
And to achieve this, the person who offered the jade needed to carve the jade carefully, and even inject their own qi, blood, and spirit into it. Under this kind of competition, almost no one was willing to fall behind. All of them did their best.
Through this rule, the ancestral clan could not only mobilize the power of the various tribes to build an ancestral court for themselves, they could also use this object to grasp the general population strength of the various tribes. Even though many people might hide their true abilities, they were only a minority and did not affect the overall situation.
Sima Quan knew that this was the greatest obstacle to the sects of the nine continents attacking this place. If there was a chance, he would think of a way to destroy it. After staring for a while, he walked to the Sun Worshipping Palace where the patriarchs lived.
It was said that only the patriarchs could live here, and the others had to stay elsewhere. In reality, the ancestral clan had found an excuse to separate the patriarchs from their subordinates to avoid any trouble.
He gave some benefits to the guard and quickly entered the inner room. After a few turns, he arrived in front of the residence of the patriarch of the Furnace Poison Clan, Furnace Poison Yue. After being notified, he was summoned in. `
Entering the door, he saw Furnace Poison Yue sitting behind the table with a frown. He walked up, bowed deeply and asked tentatively, "Brother Wang, do you have something troubling you?"
Furnace Poison Yue sighed, "Isn't it because of the matter of the tribe attacking the Northern Heaven Cold Abyss? I heard that the cultivators from beyond the heavens who came back are not simple. I wonder how many people will die in this battle."
Sima Quan put on an anxious expression and said, "Brother, I think we must not follow the arrangements of the ancestral clan. It was not easy for the ancestors to manage such a good situation, are we going to ruin it just like this? “
When he spoke, his voice was impassioned and he looked extremely agitated.
Furnace Poison Yue shook his head and said, "I also understand the logic here, but if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold. If I don't fight those cultivators from beyond the heavens, with the hatred I have with them in the past, one day they will come back to us."
Sima Quan looked left and right, revealing a mysterious expression, and said in a low voice, "This is what I want to tell brother Wang. I heard that those cultivators from beyond the heavens are not the same as the cultivators we have killed in the past."
Furnace Poison Yue was startled, "Is there such a thing?"
He pondered for a while and said, "No matter where they come from, since they have destroyed the Shanyang Clan, they have already formed a hatred with our Heavenly Ghost Tribe, there is no possibility of reconciliation. Moreover, even the Upper Realm has intervened, it is enough to prove that the fire on the other side is not small. If we wait for them to burn even bigger, there will be no way for us to survive, so it is better to wipe them out as soon as possible."
Sima Quan was a little impressed. Furnace Poison Yue saw clearly that if it was not for the guardian jade bestowed by the ancestral clan, he would not be able to take over his body, and he would not need to waste his breath.
But he said, "Brother Wang, aren't you worrying too much? They said that the cultivators from beyond the heavens want to kill me, but they are still two continents away. Even if they attack, with the ancestral clan and the people from the Upper Realm, how will they find us?"
Furnace Poison Yue sighed, "No matter what you say, it is useless. With the Upper Realm's edict, who would dare to disobey?"
Sima Quan understood that the Heavenly Ghost Tribe relied on the benefits given by the Upper Realm to gradually become stronger. After more than ten thousand years, they naturally had a kind of natural reverence for it, and could not force it to disobey. Fortunately, he had already prepared an excuse, he said in a low voice, "What if the edict is not from the Upper Realm?"
"What?" Furnace Poison Yue was shocked and stood up, "You are saying that the ancestral clan forged the edict?"
Then he calmed down again, sat down slowly, and shook his head, "Impossible, impossible, the ancestral clan would not dare to do so, unless the clan is not afraid of the Upper Realm's punishment, otherwise they would not do so."
Sima Quan's eyes flickered, he said, "That is to say, Brother Wang also cannot distinguish the authenticity?"
"This …" Furnace Poison Yue hesitated for a while, then said, "I cannot prove that it is authentic, but I also cannot say that it is fake."
Sima Quan walked a few steps closer, and said, "Then if we are suspicious, it is not too much to ask the ancestral clan to produce proof, right?"
Furnace Poison Yue looked up at him, and said, "How can you ask the ancestral clan to do so? Although my Furnace Poison Clan is a big clan, we do not have that kind of reputation. "
Sima Quan smiled, and said, "Brother Wang, my Furnace Poison Clan cannot do it, but what if we add in the other clans?"
Furnace Poison Yue was shocked, and said, "You mean to contact the other clans? No, no, if the ancestral clan finds out, it will definitely be disadvantageous to me. "
Sima Quan said, "Brother Wang, how can I let the clan fall into such a disadvantageous situation? I think, as long as this news is released, as long as there are clans that are unwilling to be ordered around by the ancestral clan, they will definitely request to do so. At that time, my Furnace Poison Clan only needs to shout from behind. "
Furnace Poison Yue came back to his senses, he carefully thought about it, and appeared to be moved, and said, "Your idea is not bad, this is very promising."
Sima Quan bowed, and said, "If Brother Wang agrees, I will arrange this matter."
Furnace Poison Yue hesitated, and after a while, he finally agreed, and said, "Alright, go do it, just be careful, don't get yourself into trouble, even if it doesn't work, it doesn't matter."
Sima Quan said, "Brother Wang, don't worry, I will handle it carefully."
How did he get himself into trouble? In these days, he had spread his clones all over the clans, and when the time came, he just needed to instigate them together.
Now, his methods were even more brilliant and hidden, he did not occupy anyone's consciousness, but instead, he was subtly influencing them from behind. Even if Sky Demon had the help of an extraterrestrial force, they would not be able to see through it.
A few days later, rumors spread in Yan Heavenly King City, saying that the decree that descended that day was not really a decree from the Upper Realm, but a forgery by the ancestral clan. They just wanted to use the opportunity of conquering the Northern Heaven Cold Abyss to take back the authority of the various clans.
The various clan leaders were indeed worried about this, if they were in the same position, they would definitely do the same. Therefore, they did not care whether it was true or not, and all of them first clamored to find out whether the decree from the Upper Realm was real or fake.
But for some reason, there was no response from the ancestral clan.
Sima Quan was the one who pushed behind the scenes, and he already knew that this would be the result.
Once Sky Demon's ancestral clan was involved in this matter, it would not be easy to settle it. Even if the Upper Realm sent another decree, the clans could still say that it was a forgery, unless they were given a chance to verify it.
But the problem was, the ancestral clan was the ancestral clan because they had the authority to communicate with extraterrestrial forces.
If they allowed the clans to investigate this time, and someone questioned the next time the decree was sent, would they also have to investigate? What about the next time? What about the next time?
Once this matter was opened, there would be endless troubles, and it would greatly shake the prestige of the ancestral clan. As long as the clan leader Feng Zhe was clear-headed, he would never agree.
Sima Quan believed that Sky Demon's ancestral clan would definitely be able to solve this matter, but it would probably take a long time for them to come up with a solution. But at that time, he would continue to use other methods. In short, he had to firmly delay the clans of Sky Demon here, so that the sects of the Nine Continents had enough time to prepare.
