The Gathering of the Yellow River that ended in the 7th month of the Daoist calendar was still ongoing in the 8th month.
The main reason was that the leader of the Inner Mansion of the Yellow River Gathering was suspected of being in cahoots with the devil.
This matter caused an uproar and involved Jing, Qi, Mu, Chu, Mount Yujing and the Xuankong Temple.
Zhao Xuanyang of the Jing Kingdom captured Jiang Wang in Tianjiao. Then, Ji Zhaonan of the Qi Kingdom returned from the Gate of Ten Thousand Demons and demanded justice. Then, Chunyu Gui suddenly appeared and fought with Ji Zhaonan … Qi's reaction pushed this matter to the climax and attracted the attention of the world.
Chunyu Gui and Ji Zhaonan fought in the Zhongshan Kingdom. Both parties fought with all their might and almost destroyed half the city. Then, they were stopped by the furious cultivators of the Zhongshan Kingdom.
Everyone had different opinions about the outcome of this battle. In short, both sides retreated.
However, after this battle, both Qi and Jing compensated the Zhongshan Kingdom with a considerable amount of resources.
In comparison, not many people knew about the battle between Jing Country's Disaster Army Commander Pei Xinghe and Qi Country's Winter Silent Army Commander Shi Mingqin in Changhe Nine Towns.
There were no bystanders during the battle and no one knew when it started and when it ended.
The news that spread was also mostly vague. It was said that at the most intense moment of the battle, the Changhe River stopped flowing for three breaths. However, no one knew if this was true or not.
Furthermore, Ku Jue of the Xuankong Temple chased after Zhao Xuanyang and rescued Jiang Wang. This was another hot topic. Especially after three days of fruitless pursuit and after the Xuankong Temple ordered him to return, he left the mountain and continued the pursuit … This made people reevaluate his relationship with Jiang Wang.
Reincarnation, illegitimate child, rumors were spreading like wildfire …
Speaking of which, in July and August, the eyes of countless vassal states in the Modern World seemed to revolve around this prodigy named Jiang Wang.
He was the center of attention of the world.
No matter what the outcome was, he could be proud of himself.
Following the intense confrontation of Qi. The matter of Jiang Wang being in cahoots with the devil had become a political issue in the world and was no longer an isolated matter of slaying the devil. Most people had reservations about whether or not he was able to channel magic.
Compared to when Jing Country's Mirror World Stage had just announced the news, there was naturally a huge change in the wind direction. This was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the credibility of the Mirror World Platform.
The Mirror World Platform was surprisingly calm, and no one knew why. This aroused countless suspicions.
No one doubted the strength of Jing Country.
After all, forcing a Perfected Person of the present age to leave the sect in order to continue his pursuit was enough to show the deterrent power of Jing Country.
If it was any other power, Ku Jue would have chased after him. Why would the Xuankong Temple spend so much effort to forcefully restrain him to the point of letting a Perfected Person escape?
Thus, in the following days, the topic of conversation after meals was where the bitterness came from, and how to measure it step by step.
However, as time passed day after day, there was still no harvest. Everyone's gazes gradually faded away.
Instead of paying attention to the boring journey of the yellow-faced old monk, it would be better to read Qi's letters of credence, which were more and more strictly worded than the previous one.
Qi demanded that Tianjiao be returned to Jing Country, but Jing Country expressed that it would have to wait until after the trial at Mount Yujing.
The Chu Kingdom continued to pay attention and hoped that Jing Country would complete the trial as soon as possible. Jing Country expressed that because of Ku Jue's pursuit, they could not contact Zhao Xuanyang and could not escort Jiang Wang back to Mount Yujing. They asked their friends from the Chu Kingdom to think of a way to persuade Ku Jue to leave.
Zhao Xuanyang and Jiang Wang seemed to have disappeared from the world.
One could not say that Ku Jue was stupid and only knew how to search. It was just that there were too many possibilities for them to disappear from the world.
From the Antiquity Age until now, the secrets of the world were as vast as the sea of stars. How many secrets were hidden in this great world, how many legends were lost … No one knew all of them.
If one did not have a deep understanding of Zhao Xuanyang, it would be difficult to link him to the Ancient Devil's Cave. After all, after the end of the Antiquity Age, it went through the Middle Age and the Near Age before the Daoist calendar was rebooted.
Although Zhao Xuanyang was only in the Shenlin Stage, he was born in the Jing Country and had seen many tricks up his sleeves. It was not strange for him to have one or two treasures on him that could hide from the detection of Daoists.
There was no end to guessing, so he could only check one place at a time.
Year 3919 of the Daoist calendar, August 19th.
Four days had passed since Ku Jue announced that he was leaving the Xuankong Temple.
A great war broke out without any warning!
The two sides of the war were not the Jing Country and Qi Country, whose diplomatic language was becoming more and more intense.
It was the Sheng Country and the Mu Country!
The Mu Country used Meng Wuya's rudeness to the Sheng Country on the River Viewing Platform as an excuse and used Wanyan Xionglü as their commander to mobilize the Uturu Cavalry and attack the Sheng Country's border city, Liyuan!
Whether the two words Liyuan meant to leave the grasslands or to isolate the grasslands depended on one's opinion.
But without a doubt, Liyuan City was the first majestic city with crouching tigers and coiling dragons in the southern direction of the boundless prairie.
Since it was built, who knew how many grassland sons and daughters had bled in front of this city.
In the eyes of the Sheng Country people, this time would not be an exception.
In the language of the Mu Country, Uturu meant brave and fearless.
However, compared to the Cangtu Divine Cavalry and Iron Stupa, which were among the top ten cavalry armies in the world, Uturu was simply a nameless cavalry army.
The commander of Uturu, Wanyan Xionglü, was famous for his bravery in the grasslands. However, in the world, he was overshadowed by famous generals like Jin Tandu.
Outside of the grasslands, not many people knew about him.
Jiang Ruyong once said that the Mu Country only had three armies: the Cangtu Divine Cavalry, the Iron Stupa, and the King's Tent Cavalry!
In other words, he did not care about the other armies of the Mu Country, even if the other party was one of the six superpowers and the overlord of the north.
The strength and confidence of the Sheng Country was evident from this.
Jiang Limeng, who represented the Sheng Country in the Battle of the Yellow River, was Jiang Ruyong's daughter. She was as arrogant as her father.
The commander of the Jing Country's Divine Will Army, Xian Nankui, once said that the Mu Country only had one army, the Cangtu Divine Cavalry!
The Sheng Country was backed by the Jing Country and had fought with the Mu Country many times. They were not weak at all.
Under such circumstances, the Sheng Country's famous general, Qi Hong, was stationed in Liyuan City to resist the aggressive Wanyan Xionglü. Thus, a war between countries broke out.
… …
The Mu Country and the Sheng Country had fought many times. Both sides were familiar with each other.
After all, the Mu Country was in the wilderness to the north. To the west was the extremely warlike Jing Country. If they wanted to expand their influence, they could only do so in the central and eastern regions.
As the number one Daoist country, the Sheng Country received large amounts of resources from the Daoist Sect every year. Its main purpose was to suppress the Mu Country.
Both sides were like dry firewood in a raging fire. It was impossible for nothing to happen.
Thus, for these two countries, war was unavoidable.
For the people of these two countries, it was not strange for them to fight for no reason.
However, in this world, it was not limited to one region.
The influence of the Six Great Overlords had already spread throughout the modern world. Their every move affected people's hearts.
The Mu Country's sudden war against the Sheng Country had a direct impact on the Mirror World Platform.
The matter of Jiang Wang's collusion with the devil could not be delayed any longer.
The Jing Country had to settle its dispute with the Qi Country immediately!
… …
… …
There was only one core reason why the Sheng Country could fight back and forth with the Mu Country, and that was the Jing Country's support. Public opinion, deterrence, military equipment, resources … even military force when necessary.
The war between Mu and Sheng was actually a war between Mu and Jing.
Other than that, the Jing Country's wariness in the west and the wilderness in the north could only be considered as side reasons.
How could the Six Great Overlords be considered strong?
Even if the Overlords only had one hand, they could easily crush any country that was not in the Six Great Overlords.
The Sheng Country was strong and could not be an exception.
If the Mu Country's attack on Liyuan City was premeditated, then their harsh statement on the matter of Qi's collusion with the devil in Tianjiao was undoubtedly a friendly gesture on the national level.
The Jing Country had to consider a question — if the Mu Country had surrendered to the Mu Country, would the Qi Country repay Qiongyao?
From Ji Zhaonan to Shi Mingqin, the Qi Country's attitude was unyielding. Would the Qi Country dare to take advantage of the war between Mu and Sheng Country?
Once the Qi Country started the war, would the Mu Country be satisfied with only sending Uturu to make a small fuss?
This was a whirlpool that was likely to get deeper and deeper!
Thus, no matter how the matter of Jiang Wang's collusion with the devil was dealt with, there had to be an immediate outcome.
"I felt that Zhao Xuanyang could not escape because of the pursuit. In order to prevent the person who colluded with the devil from being taken away, I acted on justice and killed him. Zhao Xuanyang's heart was pitiful and his heart of justice was firm, but his actions were flawed after all. He was punished to go to the Door of Thousand Demons to atone for his sins. This could be considered as an explanation to the Qi Country … "
Flying high in the sky, a voice was transmitted through the strong wind, "What do you think of this explanation?"
The person who spoke was a tall and thin man wearing a loose Daoist robe with big sleeves fluttering in the wind. He looked like a middle-aged man, but his eyes were as bright as mirrors and his face was radiant.
The person flying next to him was a tall and strong man with dark skin and a strong body. His voice was rough, "It makes sense, but Xuanyang has been wronged. As for the Jingtian Prefecture … who said he would go? "
This person was the infamous Perfected Person of the Jing Country, Chou Tie.
In his early years, he was the vanguard in every battle. If he won, he had to climb first, and if he lost, he had to cut off the retreat. He fought on the battlefield until he reached the level of a God.
Later, he removed his armor and returned to the fields. One person, one house, and one place, he lived in seclusion for seventy years. He washed away his murderous nature and became a Perfected Person of the present age.
The person talking to him was naturally the leader of the Jing Country's Mirror World Stage, Fu Dongxu.
Fu Dongxu smiled, "Of course, Zhao Xuanyang will be satisfied. Then, I'll ask him to talk to you himself!"
Chou Tie also smiled, "Then you should be prepared to bleed. That kid's appetite isn't easy to satisfy."
"There's public funds!" Fu Dongxu said.
"Since Ku Jue has no sense of propriety and forced Zhao Xuanyang to kill Jiang Wang in order to escape, how do you want to deal with him?" Chou Tie asked.
Fu Dongxu only asked in return, "Why do you think I invited you here?"
"Then let's make Zhao Xuanyang reveal his tracks first. No matter what, Ku Jue has to find him before he can wear this hat. "
"Of course!"
But what Fu Dongxu and Chou Tie didn't expect was …
Not only was Ku Jue unable to track down Zhao Xuanyang, but even they couldn't contact him.
The message that was specifically left for Zhao Xuanyang in the Qian Tian Mirror was never read again!
Even if it was to avoid Ku Jue, even if he didn't dare to reveal even the slightest trace, this shouldn't be the case. Avoiding pursuit wasn't something that could be solved by digging a hole and burying oneself in it. Zhao Xuanyang couldn't possibly hide in some place until the end of time. He also needed to obtain information about the outside world before he could decide on his next move. And reading the message in the Qian Tian Mirror was very safe and efficient.
As one of the National Treasures of the Jing Kingdom and the core treasure of the Mirror World Stage, the Qian Tian Mirror had been in operation for a long time without any flaws. With Zhao Xuanyang's strength, no matter where he hid, he could spend two or three breaths of time to read the message and then continue hiding.
Unless … he didn't need it anymore, or he couldn't.
And Ku Jue's pursuit was still ongoing. Zhao Xuanyang hadn't returned to the Jing Kingdom or Mount Yujing, so of course he needed it …
Only then did the Jing Kingdom realize the seriousness of the problem.
Not only did the Qi Tianjiao Jiang Wang disappear, their Jing Kingdom's Tianjiao Zhao Xuanyang also disappeared!
Who was Zhao Xuanyang?
The Jing Kingdom's Tianjiao Twin Walls. Before Taiyu Zhenren appeared, he was one of the Jing Kingdom's flags.
And he wasn't one of those Tianjiao who had yet to realize his potential. He was already in the Tianjiao Stage and was one of the country's top fighters. With a lifespan of more than five hundred years, he had more possibilities and more value.
He wasn't without foundation.
Even Fu Dongxu didn't want to go to the Jingtian Prefecture to communicate.
If something happened to Zhao Xuanyang, the losses would be too great and the trouble would be even greater!
And so, a ban was put out. Within the range of the ban, everyone was silent.
At this time, the Jing Kingdom displayed its unparalleled influence in the modern world. With the last place Zhao Xuanyang was last seen as the center, they sealed off almost ten thousand miles of land.
They sent out Fu Dongxu, Chou Tie, and Ji Yanyue, these three Perfected Masters to search this area. They vowed to dig three feet into the ground to find Zhao Xuanyang from Tianjiao.
Fu Dongxu and Chou Tie didn't need to be mentioned. Ji Yanyue was from the Jing Kingdom's royal family. In terms of seniority, she was the aunt of the current Emperor Jing. Of course, in reality, they weren't that close by blood. But their importance didn't lose out to the previous two.
The Tianma Plateau faced the long river to the south, the He Kingdom to the west, and the Renxin Building to the north. Looking east, from south to north, they were the Wo Kingdom, the Wei Kingdom, and the Qinku Academy.
Among these powers, the Qinku Academy and the Renxin Building were top-notch sects. Although the He Kingdom was small, it was able to act as the executor of the Jing Treaty of the Tianma Plateau, and even add its name to the agreement. Naturally, it had an extraordinary backing.
The area that the Jing Kingdom sealed off was a huge area surrounded by the Tianma Plateau, the Wei Kingdom, the Qinku Academy, and the Renxin Building.
Of course, the boundary of the blockade was the boundary of the Qinku Academy and the Renxin Building's influence. It gave the top-notch sects the necessary respect. As for the other powers in this area, they didn't receive such good treatment.
The Jing Kingdom had to search through all of them to find Zhao Xuanyang.
… …
In a Daoist temple in the Jingtian Prefecture.
Six prayer mats were carved from stone, and six Daoist priests were clay sculptures.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew over. One of the clay sculptures said, "This time, I'll go."
"I don't think it's appropriate," a strange-looking sculpture immediately said.
The clay sculpture that spoke first didn't say anything. It only twisted its neck strangely and stared straight at him.
The clay sculpture's neck twisted as if it was broken. It made people worry that it might fall off.
A clay sculpture actually expressed the feeling of "I'm in a bad mood."
"If you want to go, then go. I'm not tying you up …" the strange-looking sculpture continued and then firmly shut its mouth.
