Su Ye looked like she was asking for praise.
Chen Luoyang looked at her speechlessly.
He was talking to a guest, and this brat came in with a severed head …
On the other hand, the Pill Empress' expression was normal. She didn't care, and a smile even appeared on her face.
"I heard about it after I returned to the Central Plains, but I didn't expect that I would be in the middle of the war between your sect and the various sects of the Central Plains. The Pill Empress smiled faintly. "However, the fate between me and Tao Wangji faded away decades ago. Today, I'm only here to search for my family. I don't want to get involved in either side of your battle."
She looked at the thing in Su Ye's hand, and then at the brocade box on the table next to Chen Luoyang. "I'm already old, and I can't rely on my bones. If I ask someone to help me find my child, I can at most gather some pills as compensation. I don't dare to compete with others. Hierarch Chen, why do you need to scare an old woman?"
When she boarded the Six Dragon Emperor Carriage, the Pill Empress had already seen the battle between the two sides, so she wasn't surprised.
Chen Luoyang looked at her calmly, and a faint smile appeared on his face. He casually said, "Interesting. So what if you want to personally go and test your skills? I will only welcome you. "
"As for this …" He turned his head and glanced at Su Ye. "This is my junior brother's gift. It's not for you."
Su Ye was observing the Pill Empress. Hearing this, she smiled. "As long as senior brother likes it."
Chen Luoyang nodded indifferently. "Leave it."
The Pill Empress smiled slightly. "I live overseas and don't have much news, but I've heard of Hierarch Chen's illustrious name. Seeing you today, your bearing is indeed extraordinary. I admire you."
Su Ye happily carried the severed head to Chen Luoyang's side. She was about to put it on the table, but after thinking for a moment, she pulled a piece of cloth from her clothes and placed it on the table.
However, there was no difference between placing it on the table or not.
As the blood flowed down, it quickly soaked the cloth and flowed down the table.
Chen Luoyang rolled his eyes inwardly, but he acted as if nothing had happened. He waved at Su Ye and said, "You can leave now."
"Yes, Senior Brother." Su Ye scratched her head and obediently left the hall.
Chen Luoyang looked at the Pill Empress. "Right now, I have some small matters to take care of. Once I'm done, I'll naturally bring you two to meet. However, I'll have to ask you to wait patiently for a while."
Ying Qingqing was not in the Six Dragons Royal Chariot.
Although Grand Elder Xie Chong and the others were keeping watch over the main altar, the Pill Empress was an uncertain factor. It was best not to casually let her go.
Although the other party had no intention of attacking, Chen Luoyang naturally wouldn't believe it easily.
As for the saying that old people don't rely on their muscles and bones, it was just a joke.
Just like how he spoke politely and didn't care about the other party's spirit pill.
However, Hierarch Chen intended to have a good chat with the other party if the payment was not in place.
However, there were priorities for everything.
The most important thing at the moment was to deal with the Sword Emperor, Wang Jian, and Emperor Xia, Li Yuanlong.
As for the Pill Empress, Zhuo Qingxi, he would observe her first.
"The guest follows the host." The Pill Empress thought for a while and then nodded. "I trust you, Hierarch Chen. However, I have to trouble your sect now."
"No problem." Chen Luoyang said and looked out of the window.
The disciples of the Devil Religion had started to clean up the battlefield.
The disciples of Misty Cloud Palace who were surrounded were almost all dead.
Because they were more conservative, they didn't lose as much as the Qing Liang Temple did.
However, the Prime Master of the Misty Cloud Palace was exposed and killed by Su Ye. That was an unbearable loss.
The Misty Cloud Palace was already in danger, and now it was even worse.
Chen Luoyang was talking to the Pill Empress, but he was also paying attention to the battlefield down there.
Basically, after Su Ye's side won, the Cloud Palace's army was completely routed.
That was understandable. After Su Ye killed her opponent, she obviously still had energy left to join the battle.
As a twelfth level cultivator, he was able to get involved in the battle of a lower level, so he had a decisive influence.
If there was no gap between the two sides in terms of talent, then facing many eleventh level opponents, King Wu, who was at the twelfth level, might be defeated.
If the opponent was at the tenth level, then it would be difficult to make up for the gap in strength with numbers.
Not to say that it was completely impossible, but the premise was that there were enough of them, or even to an exaggerated extent.
If the opponent was below King Wu, then when facing a twelfth level King Wu, as long as the Nourishment Level cultivator was in good condition, numbers would be meaningless.
Three levels, or even more, the result was the same as that day. Chen Luoyang shouted and instantly killed the Dark Owl, Erhanke, who tried to assassinate him.
It wasn't that people had no sense of existence when their level was low.
The top-notch experts were restraining each other, forming a chessboard-like situation. It depended on the battle between those who were a level lower to decide the outcome of the battle.
And so on, the number of people decreased.
On the other hand, if one side had enough people at all levels, then they could attack from all sides. The middle and lower level fighters would help the higher level fighters fight for opportunities. This could also form a victory using numbers.
But there was another problem.
It was when the top experts targeted each other's subordinates, forming a dimensional reduction massacre that would end in mutual destruction.
I will kill you until you are a general without an army.
You will also slaughter my side until not even a blade of grass is left.
The top experts in the Divine Land all had large families and businesses, young and old.
In the recent hundreds of years, a tacit understanding had formed. Everyone restrained each other. If the top experts weren't offended, they would rarely lower themselves to fight those who were far weaker than them.
When two factions fought, the tacit understanding formed a situation of king against king, general against general, and soldiers against soldiers.
If there was no tacit understanding, the other side would try to restrain the other side and force the other side to obey this tacit understanding.
When one side had the ability to break this balance, it was time to decide the winner.
Chen Luoyang found it strange at first. In this world, there were very few top experts who were free like wild cranes. The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors all had their own foundations.
But then he gradually thought about it.
The unrestrained and unscrupulous person was probably the one that everyone feared the most.
Such people, if they didn't join a faction, might not have the chance to grow and climb to the top.
Not only would it be a problem of safety, but the access to resources would also be extremely limited.
The Pill Empress Zhuo Qingxi before him was a rare exception. But she also lived overseas and hadn't set foot in the Central Plains for many years.
She occasionally came back, but she tried to keep a low profile and didn't get involved in the disputes of the factions.
In the Divine Land, in terms of martial arts, there was an obvious trend of class solidification.
Experts would almost only appear in the major factions, and the stronger the expert, the stronger the expert.
An exception like the Sword King in the past would probably be very difficult to reproduce.
Moreover, the rise of the Sword King in the past had many mysteries, and everyone had regarded it as a coincidence.
As Chen Luoyang was thinking, a subordinate came to report.
The Pill Empress had already put on the hood of her cloak again. She took the initiative and said, "I wonder if Hierarch Chen can arrange a place for me to rest? I'm old and my spirit isn't good. Allow me to rest first. When Qingqing comes, I'll have enough energy to meet her. "
"Of course." Chen Luoyang ordered people to arrange a guest room in the Six Dragons Emperor Carriage for her and led her to rest.
After the Pill Empress left, he turned to look at the Devil religion disciple in front of him.
He didn't look familiar. He looked like someone from the White Tiger Hall.
"Speak." Chen Luoyang's expression was calm.
The White Tiger Hall disciple lowered his head and kowtowed. "Reporting to the Hierarch, the First Seat sent an urgent report from the main altar. The Sword Pavilion Stone Mirror has escaped."
