That night, the City Guard hosted a banquet to entertain the many masters from the Grand Divine Wind Palace. The most honorable ones were naturally He Yiming and the other two Innate Masters.
Although He Yiming was not a member of the Grand Divine Wind Palace, this did not affect the City Guard's enthusiasm.
However, it was obvious that Zhang Zhongcheng did not give him face. He just perfunctorily left the banquet. On the contrary, Jin Zhanzheng ate as if no one was present.
From the City Guard's introduction, He Yiming knew that these dishes were not prepared in a hurry today. Instead, they began to prepare after Jin Zhanzheng and the others left the city for the northwest.
It was because of these months of preparation that they were able to use their skills today, which made Jin Zhanzheng quite satisfied.
He Yiming remembered Fang Lingkai's words. Since the City Guard had spent so much effort to please Jin Zhanzheng, then as the son of Fang Shuyue, it was natural for him to pay attention to the black horse.
However, Fang Lingkai did not expect that in the end, not only did he fail to please Jin Zhanzheng, but he also greatly offended him. Things were indeed wonderful.
After the banquet, He Yiming and Jin Zhanzheng had just returned to the gorgeous courtyard specially prepared by the City Guard when they heard a disciple report that the leader of the outer disciples of the Grand Divine Wind Palace stationed here had something important to report.
He Yiming just wanted to avoid arousing suspicion and leave, but he was stopped by Jin Zhanzheng. Whether it was Zhang Zhongcheng or Jin Zhanzheng, they obviously did not treat him as an outsider, which made He Yiming feel quite gratified.
After a while, when the person came in, He Yiming could not help but be slightly startled. This person turned out to be Fang Shuyue, whom he had met today.
At this time, although Fang Shuyue had already cleaned up, the injury on his forehead could not be healed. Although this amount of blood would not have much impact on a master at the peak of the acquired realm with Level Ten Internal Strength, his face was not very good.
Zhang Zhongcheng was slightly startled and suddenly realized. He said, "Fang Shuyue, so it was you who offended Junior Brother Jin today."
As the most famous person within a hundred miles of the Grand Divine Wind Palace, Fang Shuyue had met Zhang Zhongchi several times. However, the relationship between the two parties was just so-so. In the past few decades, Zhang Zhongchi had always taken this route to the mountains. Even if Fang Shuyue tried his best, he could only make Zhang Zhongchi have a slight impression of him. It was already a great honor to be able to call out his name.
However, after hearing Zhang Zhongchi's question, Fang Shuyue was immediately relieved. At least he could be sure that Jin Zhanzheng didn't intend to argue with him.
Based on the fact that Zhang Zhongchi didn't even know the name of the person, it was clear that they didn't care about this small matter at all.
Fang Shuyue respectfully and willingly kowtowed to the three of them and said, "Ancestral Masters, Senior He, my son has offended you today. Junior will definitely punish him severely and make him remember this in the future."
Zhang Zhongchi waved his hand casually and said, "This matter is over. There's no need to mention it again in the future. You said that there's something important to report. What is it?"
Fang Shuyue suddenly calmed down and said solemnly, "Ancestral Master Zhang, I once received a report from the palace that the western countries are ready to make a move and want to assassinate Ancestral Master Jin."
He Yiming and the other two exchanged a look. Zhang Zhongchi asked in a deep voice, "What did the report say?"
Fang Shuyue was secretly happy. He finally had a topic to talk about and could stay here for a little longer.
After offending Jin Zhanzheng this time, his position was definitely in jeopardy. Although he was a strong person at the peak of the tenth level of inner strength, he definitely couldn't bear the consequences if everyone wanted to hit him when he was down. However, if he could stay with Jin Zhanzheng and the others for a longer time tonight, the situation would definitely change. No one would dare to have any ideas about the Fang family.
Although he was happy in his heart, his face became more and more solemn.
"Ancestral Master, the report said that the western countries seem to be launching a large-scale invasion. The paladins stationed in the various countries have begun to gather and stated that they want to …" At this point, he suddenly stopped and looked at Jin Zhanzheng carefully with a nervous expression.
Zhang Zhongchi frowned slightly and said, "Just say it. It's fine."
Fang Shuyue then whispered, "They said that they want to use Ancestral Master Jin's head as a sacrifice to the paladin you killed in the past."
Jin Zhanzheng laughed and said, "I see. I was wondering why their assassins would come all the way here. So it's because of this." A hint of surprise gradually appeared in his eyes. However, in this strange color, there was also a hint of power that made He Yiming's heart palpitate.
Zhang Zhongchi frowned and said, "Junior Brother Jin, if the rumors are correct, the western countries will invade on a large scale. This is not a good thing."
Jin Zhanzheng chuckled and said, "Senior Brother, let them come if they want to. It's not the first or second time that we've had a large-scale battle. It'll break out once every few decades. This time is nothing special." A rare look of madness appeared on his face. "Since their paladins have begun to gather, a supreme powerhouse will definitely appear. Hehe …"
He Yiming felt a chill in his heart. Listening to Jin Zhanzheng's tone, not only was he not worried at all, but he also seemed to be looking forward to it.
Nonetheless, after thinking about it, he immediately understood what Jin Zhanzheng was thinking.
Once a war between the 2 countries broke out, he would surely encounter a powerful opponent. Jin Zhanzheng's martial arts cultivation was more inclined to break through in actual combat. The more intense the battle, the greater his chances of successfully advancing into a Venerable One.
Therefore, a war that could be considered a despair for ordinary people was the most exciting thing for him.
Zhang Zhongchi clearly understood Jin Zhanzheng's thoughts. He pondered for a while and finally said, "Junior Brother, every few decades, a new Venerable One will be born on the battlefield during the East-West War. I hope that you can become one of them this time."
Jin Zhanzheng nodded hard and responded, "Thank you for your auspicious words, Senior Brother. I won't let you down."
He Yiming's heart sank slightly, and he could not help but interrupt, "Brother Jin, the war between the East-West War and the East-West happens every few decades?"
Jin Zhanzheng's eyes were bright as he answered, "That's right. Such a war will definitely break out every 30 years or at most 60 years."
He Yiming pondered for a moment and asked, "Has the outcome of the war been decided?"
"Of course, the outcome has been decided, but that's all." Jin Zhanzheng smiled. "Whether it's the East-West or the East-West, they only have the strength to win this war, but it'll be extremely difficult to completely destroy each other. It's simply impossible."
He Yiming frowned and asked, "If that's the case, can't this war be avoided?"
Jin Zhanzheng and Zhang Zhongchi were stunned at the same time. They looked at each other with strange looks in their eyes.
Zhang Zhongchi coughed softly and asked, "Brother He, why do you want to avoid this war?"
He Yiming said seriously, "Once the war starts, I'm afraid that countless people will be displaced, and at the same time, it'll consume a lot of the country's power. This won't be good for either side."
He had once seen the horse bandits massacre Taicang County, and that miserable scene had always lingered in his mind.
A mere Horse Gang attack had already caused such serious consequences. Then, when the two big countries threw off their arms and engaged in a war, how much suffering and suffering would it cause?
Zhang Zhongchi looked at He Yiming with a strange expression, and finally sighed bitterly. He said, "Brother He, there are some things that we can't decide. For us, we can only let nature take its course. "
He Yiming opened his mouth, but in the end, he closed it tightly.
If he could see this point, then for countless years, the powerhouses of the East-West could also see through this point.
Since it had been like this for so many years, there must be a need for it to exist. Even so, given He Yiming's current wisdom, he could not figure out the reason for the time being.
He shook his head and looked into the distance …
Zhang Zhongyun also shook his head along with him. However, the thoughts in their hearts were completely different.
Whether it was him or Jin Zhanzheng, they were full of expectations for the future war.
In this war, Jin Zhanzheng would gain enough combat experience to help him advance to a Venerable One. In that case, the intensity of the battle and the eventual outcome of the battle were no longer in their consideration.
As for how many people would die …
This problem was no longer within their consideration.
As long as the Divine Wind Palace could have another Venerable One, it would be worth it no matter how many ordinary people died.
Zhang Zhongchi waved his hand and said, "Fang Shuyue, you can leave now."
Fang Shuyue responded respectfully. He once again touched the ground with his forehead and kowtowed a few times. However, he did not leave immediately. Instead, after hesitating for a moment, he said in a low voice, "Honorable Master, I've heard that there are 2 guests in the Divine Wind Palace now. They seem to be here for Honorable Master Jin."
Zhang Zhongchi was surprised. Since they were specifically mentioned in the report, they were probably not ordinary guests.
"Who are they? Why are they looking for me? "Jin Zhanzheng asked coldly.
After the temptation of war just now, Jin Zhanzheng quickly returned to his usual appearance.
"Honorable Master, there seem to be 2 people who came to the Divine Wind Palace. It's said that they're here to challenge Honorable Master Jin."
This time, Jin Zhanzheng and the other 2 people were really surprised.
Ever since Jin Zhanzheng achieved great success in martial arts and advanced to the Innate Stage, he was the only one who challenged others for so many years. It was indeed his first time being challenged like this.
A strange light flashed in his eyes. Jin Zhanzheng said slowly, "No matter who those 2 people are, I hope they won't disappoint me."
His words were full of confidence. It seemed that no matter what kind of strong person he faced, he would be able to defeat him easily.
Of course, no matter who went to the Divine Wind Palace to challenge Jin Zhanzheng, it could not be a Venerable.
Below the Venerable, there were only a handful of people who could really make Jin Zhanzheng worry.
He Yiming's heart was slightly moved. He faintly felt that this might be the best opportunity.
As long as Jin Zhanzheng could fight with his full strength, then he could have an objective evaluation of his true strength.
