After cultivating in the headquarters of the Ancient God for a while, Chen Luoyang came out of seclusion and summoned Su Wei, Su Ye, and the others.
He flicked his fingers and a page of the Heavenly Book appeared in front of everyone.
"Comprehend it on your own. Don't force yourself. There is something waiting for you later."
Su Ye, Zhang Tianheng, and Liu Si immediately immersed themselves in it.
Su Wei did not look at the Heavenly Book. Silent, he waited for Chen Luoyang's instructions.
Xie Buxiu scratched his head.
He was not particularly ambitious about martial arts, but he was interested in figuring out martial arts. This page of the Heavenly Book was especially to his liking.
"Read it carefully. I will check my homework later," Chen Luoyang ordered.
Xie Buxiu hurriedly agreed and then concentrated on the Heavenly Book of the Heavenly Book.
Chen Luoyang then turned to look at Su Wei. "How is the situation recently?"
"Hierarch, there is still no news of the King of the Barbarian Tribe coming out of seclusion. However, there is news that the Queen, Qingkongsang, has gone to the East Zhou Dynasty's capital, Tianfeng City." Su Wei reported, "There is no further news of Tao Wangji's disciple, Xie Xingmang, after returning to Tianhe, but he should not have been killed by Tianhe."
Chen Luoyang sat high in his seat and nodded indifferently. "Continue."
Su Wei continued, "After the news that Heavenly Demon Ye might return to Jianghu, the entire Mortal World is much quieter now.
Everyone is working hard to find Heavenly Demon Ye and has temporarily put aside their grievances. There are few conflicts.
The Green Bull Temple and the Cheng Clan of the Chu Land are relatively stable and there are no unusual movements. "
Su Wei had been ordered by Chen Luoyang to help the Green Bull Temple settle down in the territory of the Ancient God and understand the inside story.
The Green Bull Temple hoped that the Ancient God would fight with East Zhou so that they could fight back.
The news of Dongzhou Empress Xu Ruotong being the successor of the Human Emperor was first spread by the Green Bull Temple.
In the end, in the Renhuang Mausoleum, Chen Luoyang and the Empress of the East Zhou Dynasty met. But at that time, there was a bigger enemy, Heavenly Devil Ye and the Demon Clan, so they didn't have a conflict. Instead, they joined forces.
After coming out of the Human Emperor's Mausoleum, everyone in the world of mortals would unite again to fight against their common enemy, Demon Ye.
The Green Ox Temple would have to wait again.
This was clearly a far cry from their original intentions, so Su Wei and Xie Buxiu had recently arranged for people to secretly monitor Square Jing Mountain, where Green Ox Monastery was located.
However, everyone in the Green Bull Temple seemed to be very calm. They were not anxious or impatient.
"The Western Qin Dynasty is probably the only place where there are still some waves." Su Wei went on with his report. "Previously, with the support of other forces, the Western Paradise has gradually withstood the pressure brought by the Bitter Sea. Thus, the Bitter Sea has restrained itself a little. But the Western Qin is still in chaos."
He said, "About two years ago, the man named Leng Ji, who stirred up a storm in the Western Qin, became active again some time ago. His cultivation and strength have been advancing by leaps and bounds.
This man seems to be no longer loyal to the royal family of the Western Qin. He raised the flag of rebellion and accused the Li family of colluding with the Bitter Sea, intending to replace the Li family.
A while ago, because of the chaos in the Western Qin, it gave him a chance to fish in troubled waters. He gradually developed and has become a force that can't be ignored in the Western Qin. "
After a pause, he continued, "This man has a special bloodline and extraordinary talent. He seems to be able to condense the people's faith and turn it into Dragon Qi, which is the appearance of a secular emperor.
In recent years, the Li family of the Western Qin has made too many troubles and lost the people's support, so many people have gathered under the banner of Leng Ji. "
Chen Luoyang gently tapped his fingers on the armrest of the chair, looking calm.
It was all within his expectation.
"I've sent people to contact him, but he seems to be afraid of us." Su Wei frowned and said, "People from the East Zhou Dynasty and the Bitter Sea are also rejected by him. But people from the Barbarian Land seem to have some contact with him."
Chen Luoyang nodded and said, "That's expected."
Whether it was the Southern Chu Dynasty, the East Zhou Dynasty, or the Ancient God Dynasty, as the forces directly bordering the Western Qin Dynasty, they all had territorial demands on the Western Qin and would seize any opportunity to get a share of the pie.
Although Leng Ji raised the flag of rebellion against the royal family of the Western Qin Dynasty, he did not want other forces to invade the territory of the Western Qin Dynasty.
The Barbarian Land also had the ambition to expand, but it was separated from the Western Qin by the land of the Ancient God Dynasty and the Chu Dynasty. Leng Ji undoubtedly understood the principle of befriending the distant and attacking the nearby.
"However, comparatively speaking, the place he is closest to is still the Buddhist Sect, the western paradise." Su Wei said.
That was no surprise to everyone.
It was not that Leng Ji was really loyal to the Buddhist Sect, but that the Bitter Sea was too hateful.
No matter how the Western Paradise preached, it would not plant black lotuses like the Bitter Sea, directly turning people into walking dead who could only chant sutras, or arousing people's evil thoughts and desires.
The reason why Leng Ji rebelled against the Li family of the Western Qin Dynasty, in addition to the fact that he was almost possessed by Li Ce, the Great Emperor of the Western Qin Dynasty, was that some people in the royal family colluded with the Bitter Sea and the East Zhou Dynasty for their own interests.
Although the preaching of the Buddhist Western Paradise made Li Ce, the Great Emperor of the Qin Dynasty dreaded it, it could be regarded as a welcome rain for the land of the Western Qin Dynasty, the Western Qin Dynasty, and even the land of the Ancient God Dynasty.
Leng Ji had just established his flag. Although his cultivation and strength had improved by leaps and bounds because of the Dragon Qi left by the Great Emperor of the Qin Dynasty, if he wanted to survive and rise in the gap between the Bitter Sea, the East Zhou Dynasty, the Western Qin Dynasty, and even the Ancient God Dynasty, he would inevitably need strong support. That was something that even idealistic people had to admit.
The Western Paradise and the Bitter Sea bloodline were natural enemies.
It was not surprising that Leng Ji and the Bitter Sea could help each other.
"In addition, it is rumored that there is also a Taoist who seems to be in contact with Leng Ji. But his identity is mysterious, and he is a loner. For the time being, we are not sure about the specific situation." Su Wei finally said cautiously, "However, this Taoist doesn't seem to be with the Green Bull Temple. I have ordered people to speed up the investigation."
Chen Luoyang looked as usual.
The so-called Taoist was naturally his doppelganger Banhai.
In fact, Taoist Banhai was Leng Ji's most trusted helper. He had given Leng Ji a lot of help, so that he could rise and gain a foothold in the land of the Western Qin where all kinds of people were mixed.
"Is there any other person or thing worth paying attention to in the Western Qin?" Chen Luoyang asked seemingly casually.
Su Wei answered, "Compared with Leng Ji, there are two people in the royal family of the Western Qin who stand out. One is Li Yuanbang, who is the crown prince and is actually the governor of the country. The other one is more surprising. He is the youngest son of the former Great Emperor of the Western Qin, Li Ce, Li Gucheng.
That Young Lord Li used to be inconspicuous. But in the past two years, he suddenly rose to power and even began to threaten Li Yuanbang's position. Many experts and nobles of the Western Qin began to draw close to him and confront the crown prince.
The two brothers don't get along well. "
"Keep paying attention," Chen Luoyang ordered calmly.
Su Wei saluted and said, "Yes, I will follow the order of the Hierarch."
Then, he stepped back. From beginning to end, he didn't look at the Heavenly Book of "Tranquility".
Chen Luoyang smiled, stood up, and walked to the window of the hall.
He looked at the blue sky in the distance, where the Western Qin was.
"Is this the nature of father and son, or is it the trick of fate?" Chen Luoyang chuckled softly.
…
In Zhengyang City, the capital of the Western Qin Dynasty.
In the imperial palace, the crown prince, Li Yuanbang, finished a day of court meetings and returned to his bedroom.
The situation in the Western Qin had finally calmed down a lot.
With the rise of the Devil Emperor, many forces faintly formed a line and were wary of the Devil Emperor.
Because the Misery Sea was too close to the Devil Emperor, it became the first bird to stand out and was suppressed by everyone. The arrogance of the Boundless Temple was finally restrained.
When the news of Heavenly Demon Ye's reappearance in Jianghu spread, everyone stopped fighting and focused on guarding against the Extraterrestrial Demon.
The Western Qin Dynasty, which had lost its master, could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
At the moment, the traitor Leng Ji was the most eye-catching person …
Walking in the palace, Li Yuanbang happened to meet a man, who was his younger brother, Li Gucheng.
Young Prince Li's expression was as usual as he greeted his royal brother.
Li Yuanbang calmly returned the salute.
"Your Highness, you've worked hard for the state affairs." Li Gucheng greeted.
Li Yuanbang shook his head and said, "With your help, it's nothing."
"The Misery Sea has occupied the territory of the Qin Dynasty with the Black Lotus and has become more and more entrenched." Young Prince Li sighed.
"Father is not here and the Qin Dynasty has no Revered Martial Artist. Slowly, the masters will besiege the Extraterrestrial Demon. If the Misery Sea's Demon Monk Fakong falls, we might have a chance," the Crown Prince said.
Young Prince Li bowed and said, "Your Highness is right. I'll take my leave."
The two of them passed each other.
The brothers of the past could never return to the past.
Li Yuanbang returned to his bedroom. A monk in the palace smiled and put his palms together, "Your Highness is back."
"Master is now worried about the Extraterrestrial Demon and has no time to spare. But now is the best time to ask for advice from the traitor Leng Ji. I will lead the army to attack and ask the brothers in the temple and the elders to help," Li Yuanbang said.
The monk with the swastika between his eyebrows nodded and said, "Of course."
Li Yuanbang also put his palms together and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother."
After the monk left, Li Yuanbang stood quietly in the main hall and did not speak for a long time.
After a while, he turned around and opened a secret door and walked into the secret passage.
There were many traps and restrictions in the secret passage. Li Yuanbang carefully passed through them and came to the door at the end.
After pushing the door open, there was a completely different world inside. It was actually an independent small world.
The air in this world was fresh and the flowers were fragrant. It was quiet and peaceful.
There was a small courtyard in the mountains. Li Yuanbang stepped forward and pushed open the door.
In the courtyard, an old man was leaning against a stone table and sipping tea, leisurely and contented.
"Back then, Fakong didn't use his full strength and held back a lot. He's not much better now." The old man smiled carelessly.
There was a fierce light in his eyes and a hint of madness, but it didn't conflict with the quiet and peaceful environment around him. Instead, it blended in perfectly.
It was the public enemy of the world, Heavenly Demon Ye.
"Now that the Old Ancestor has come out of the mountain, Devil Monk Fakong can't be a coward even if he wants to. He escaped last time, but he can't hide from the Old Ancestor this time." Li Yuanbang saluted the Old Devil.
The Old Devil sized him up with interest. "Fakong is indeed just a coward, but you, young boy, have guts. Aren't you afraid of repeating your father Li Ce's mistakes?"
