"Civil war?" Shen Tianzhao narrowed his eyes.
Taoist Half Sea nodded. "I'm sure you've heard of Old Monster Blood River."
Shen Tianzhao did not reply.
Naturally, he had heard of this name before.
Old Monster Blood River had been famous for many years. He was once a favored successor of Blood River Patriarch Xue Cangqiong. However, he had angered Blood River Patriarch and had not been heard of for a long time. Even the people of Blood River had heard that he had been killed by their patriarch.
He was so powerful that he was known as the second strongest person in Blood River in this era.
Among the top ten Martial Saints of the Human World, he had always been one of the best.
Now, he was ranked fourth.
However, because he had not been seen for many years and there were often rumors that he had died, many people had expressed that he should be removed from the top ten list.
The people of Sky River were not so optimistic. They were always wary of their enemies.
During the battle between Sky River and Blood River last year, Sky River and East Zhou were still calculating whether Old Monster Blood River would suddenly appear. However, they did not see him until the end.
Thus, the people in the Human World suspected that he had died even more.
"Are you saying that Old Monster Blood River is in the Blood Sea?" Shen Tianzhao looked at Taoist Half Sea expressionlessly.
Taoist Half Sea nodded. "That's right. He is one of the parties in the civil war in the Blood Sea."
It was unknown whether Old Monster Blood River was dead or alive. If he was still alive, he was most likely hiding in the Blood Sea.
Chen Luoyang had the same suspicions before. However, his other clone Xue Dark Sky did not find him after entering the Blood Sea. Thus, he temporarily let go of this worry.
The people of Blood River were more inclined to believe that Old Monster Blood River had been killed by Xue Cangqiong.
However, recently, he had reappeared in the Blood Sea.
Chen Luoyang even suspected that it had something to do with Cheng Yingtian's death in the Connate Tomb. Cheng Yingtian had triggered the eighth generation Blood River Patriarch Blood River's Blood Phoenix to revive.
However, since he did not find any more clues, he could only suppress his suspicions.
When Old Monster Blood River reappeared, his cultivation and strength were shocking.
However, this old man was not popular and caused the other Blood River Patriarchs to gang up against him.
Although the old demon was alone, he was strong and gradually attracted some of the descendants of the Blood River to gather around him.
Now that the internal strife was intensifying, Old Monster Blood River was gaining the upper hand.
However, Chen Luoyang's Blood Dark Sky clone had been improving rapidly these days, helping the other side to hold the situation.
In fact, he did not expect Shen Tianzhao to help him deal with Old Demon Blood River.
The reason why he wanted to send him in was because he hoped to have another way to test the Blood Bright Phoenix.
There was no sign of the Bright Blood Phoenix in the sea of blood.
Shen Tianzhao looked at Daoist Banhai suspiciously.
He was dubious about the news about Old Demon Blood River.
Since Patriarch Blood River was not around, the people in Blood River might not want him to join Blood River Sect. They might even want to get rid of him, just like Celestial River.
If he entered the Blood Sea recklessly, he might end up falling into an ambush.
However, with Shen Tianzhao's current cultivation, unless Old Monster Blood River acted as the main force and all the experts of the Blood River Lineage surrounded him, he wouldn't be afraid even if it was an ambush.
Priest Banhai ignored his doubts, taking out a blood-red crystal and flicking it with his finger.
The blood-red crystal floated in front of Shen Tianzhao and hovered in the air.
"It's just a suggestion out of goodwill. You can deal with it yourself." Priest Banhai smiled. "It's not easy to open the door to the Blood Sea. I only have this as a stepping stone. Whether you can enter or not depends on the people in the Blood Sea. You can just take it as a chance."
Shen Tianzhao accepted the blood-red crystal and pondered.
"In the Blood Sea, no matter which side it is, you might not have a good impression of them. The more intense the fight between the two sides, the more happy you are to see it?" Taoist Half Sea said. Without another word, he turned and left.
Shen Tianzhao did not ask him to stay. Silently, he watched the disheveled Daoist's figure disappear.
He looked down at the blood-red crystal in his hand. He did not throw it away, but he did not make a decision immediately. He just kept the crystal and left the deserted island, changing his location.
Since his hiding place had been exposed, it was not a good place to stay, regardless of whether Priest Banhai would spread the news.
As for the Blood Sea, he wanted to find trouble with the Blood River Lineage. He was worried that there was no way to enter. Now someone sent him a pillow when he was sleepy.
But because of this, he still needed to think carefully. He did not make a decision in a hurry.
Compared to the possible ambush in the Blood Sea, the unknown origin of the disheveled Daoist himself made Shen Tianzhao more suspicious.
Today, he had severed his shackles and broken through the bottleneck to the eighteenth state. His foundation was not stable, so he needed to stabilize it. He needed to find a safe place to sort out his thoughts first.
…
Above the East Sea, the wind and clouds calmed down.
In the land of East Zhou, the flames of war were still burning.
At this moment, the capital of East Zhou, Tianfeng City, was suffering the fiercest attack.
The mighty black tornado tore the sky and earth apart, attacking the capital of East Zhou.
The King of Fuyao, Han Shang, the master of Yanran Mountain of the North Sea, made a comeback and attacked with all his might.
As expected, he planned to lure the tiger away from the mountain. Taking advantage of the time when the Empress of East Zhou was restrained by Azure Dragon Island Lord and North Sea Sword Master, he attacked the old Sword Immortal and lured out the Crane Deity, Li Hushuang, who was originally guarding the capital of East Zhou, Tianfeng City. Then, he took the initiative to change targets and attack Tianfeng City.
This time, Han Shang went all out to attack Tianfeng City.
Although he had been seriously injured by the Empress of East Zhou and had not recovered, he used all his means to attack Tianfeng City again.
Even a page of the Heavenly Tome with the word "Tranquility" on it finally revealed its true appearance.
When the word "Tranquility" appeared, time and space in Tianfeng City seemed to have stopped. Only Han Shang could still move slowly.
However, compared to the first time he attacked Tianfeng City, this time, the defense formation of Tianfeng City was obviously stronger.
The person in charge was the eighteenth state royal elder, King Fengning Xu Qizhen.
However, the power of the formation was much stronger than before.
The Dragon Qi of all living beings surged and gathered in Tianfeng City from all over East Zhou. Then, under the control of King Fengning Xu Qizhen, it strengthened the formation and its power continued to increase.
Even with King Fuyao Han Shang's ability, he could not break through it in a short time.
Han Shang almost instantly understood what was going on.
This time, the Empress of East Zhou, Xu Ruotong, had entrusted the gathering of the Dragon Qi of the entire East Zhou Dynasty to Xu Qizhen.
This was almost equivalent to giving up the throne!
Gathering the Dragon Vein Qi of billions of people in East Zhou allowed the formation of Tianfeng City to operate to the maximum.
The other party had guessed that Han Shang's real target was Tianfeng City, so they had made preparations long ago and specially waited for him.
The most shocking thing was that when he first attacked Tianfeng City, Xu Qizhen did not receive such treatment.
At that time, the Empress pretended to go to the Boorish Lands, but in fact, she had specially set up a pocket formation and waited for Han Shang to go in. Then, she would come back immediately. So, the city defense formation did not need to be too strong. Instead, it misled Han Shang, making him think that the young girl would not easily give up power to her subordinates.
Now, although the Empress of East Zhou had not returned yet, Han Shang could predict that she was definitely on her way back.
The old Sword Immortal and Crane Deity would only come back faster.
If Han Shang was given time, then although the city defense formation of Tianfeng City was strong, it would still be difficult to resist the power of the giants.
Unfortunately, the little bit of time he had gained by creating a diversion was far from enough.
Before he could break through the formation of Tianfeng City, Crane Deity and the others would have already come back.
When the Empress of East Zhou returned, Han Shang was not confident enough to leave the territory of East Zhou.
He was even worried that the Empress of East Zhou would not return to Tianfeng City, but directly trample on the mountain gate of Yanran Mountain in the North Sea.
So, Han Shang did not hesitate at all, nor did he compete with the city defense formation of Tianfeng City, and immediately left.
It turned out that his worries were completely correct.
After the Lord of Azure Dragon Island and Sword Master North Sea stopped fighting and retreated, the Empress of East Zhou heard from her subordinates that Shen Tianzhao was missing, and that the old Sword Immortal and Crane Deity had returned to help Tianfeng City. She did not return with them, but went straight to Yanran Mountain in the North Sea.
Almost as soon as Han Shang returned to his mountain gate, before he could even catch his breath, the Empress came to his door.
As the purple dragon roared, it pressed down on the mountain gate of Yanran Mountain in the North Sea and beat it up, so that no one dared to go out.
Relying on the mountain defense formation, Han Shang was still in a very difficult situation. The mountain gate of Yanran Mountain was on the verge of collapse, as if it could be broken by the Empress at any time.
In the territory of East Zhou, after the old Sword Immortal heard the news, he said to Crane Deity, "I have to trouble Hushuang to stay in East Zhou for a while."
'Crane Deity' Li Hushuang nodded, "Of course, Elder Yun, please rest in peace."
The Empress was fighting outside, and the old Sword Immortal had not recovered from his serious injuries, so Crane Deity naturally needed to stay in East Zhou for a few more days.
The Lord of Azure Dragon Island, Sword Master North Sea, and the leader of the Barbarian Tribe all needed East Zhou and Sky River to continue to be vigilant.
The old Sword Immortal returned to the mountain gate of Sky River. When he reached the mountain gate, he looked into the distance and couldn't help but sigh.
This trip had taken him a long time, but the result could no longer be described as disappointment.
The trip to the Wilderness ultimately did not bring back his disciple, Xie Xingmang.
He hurried back to East Zhou, but Shen Tianzhao was still trapped in the Demonic Path, and it was difficult to turn back.
Although he successfully defeated Yanran Mountain of North Sea and East Zhou was protected, his Sky River lineage had really been a failure recently.
In comparison, his lingering injuries that could not be healed were not so eye-catching.
The old Sword Immortal sighed slightly.
Even if he was used to experiencing wind and rain, his mood was still gloomy at this moment.
He shook his head slightly, dispelled the negative emotions, and his state of mind returned to calmness. He walked towards his mountain gate.
When he reached the mountain gate, a guard came forward to greet him.
At the same time, he also brought a piece of news to the old Sword Immortal.
"There's a guest?" The old Sword Immortal looked at the disciple in front of him, "Who is it?"
The Sky River disciple answered, "He did not reveal his identity, and only said that he had something to ask of you. Then, he left a letter and left. Before he left, he said that after you read the letter, if you were willing to see him, the letter contained a way to contact him."
After a slight pause, the disciple continued, "He looked … like an Ancient God."
