Tan Ping was the leader of the Six Fiends of North Sea. In terms of strength, he was the strongest among the six.
But that was only in comparison.
Zheng Ximing and Jiang Zhe were both at the 13th realm. Even if there was a difference in strength, it was negligible.
Tan Ping also needed to discuss with the others when he did things.
If Zheng Ximing's cultivation improved, it might be a good thing for the Six Fiends of North Sea as a whole. But it might not be so for Tan Ping.
He was already being extremely benevolent by not being a hindrance.
It was asking too much for him to try his best to make this happen.
For Jiang Zhe, who was ranked third, the situation was similar.
He did not want to go from a sworn brother to a subordinate who relied on others.
As for Song Rui, Tu Lin, Xiang Chen, and the newly joined Hui Xing, they all had different thoughts.
Blood Emperor Zheng Ximing usually did not ask about many things. He seemed to be very easy to talk to.
However, if he wholeheartedly focused on his cultivation, it would be hard to say how he would handle things once his cultivation reached the peak and he looked down on everyone else.
After all, Zheng Ximing had never been a good-tempered person. He was originally domineering and unscrupulous. After cultivating the Life Blood Blade and killing so many people, he became colder and more bloodthirsty.
Zheng Ximing contacted others to help him take the Coiling Dragon Rock.
Under normal circumstances, they might help him out of respect.
But if they were to risk their lives for him, then they would all politely decline.
In Chang 'an City's Daming Palace, Zhang Dongyun felt a lot of emotions.
The Six Fiends of North Sea became sworn brothers in a way.
On the other hand, they showed the domineering manner of the Twelve Kings of Hell.
But it was only on the surface, not the truth.
Zhang Dongyun inherited the Evil Emperor's memories. Before and after the Immortals' World of Immortals, there were indeed disagreements.
But in the early years, when they first became sworn brothers, they were also brothers.
Even if Ying Xiao I had his own secrets, he was not lying when he said that he was lost because of friendship.
Otherwise, he might not have been able to deceive everyone for so many years.
But as time passed, people changed, and he made another choice.
In the early years, whether it was Ying Xiao I or Yang Li, we all went through thick and thin with everyone.
One person's grudge was the joint grudge of the twelve.
One person's enemy was the common enemy of the twelve.
They also verified what they had learned and studied together.
However, everyone had their own methods and confidence. Therefore, other people's methods could only be used as a reference for others.
The reason why they were so powerful and hard to find a match for other cultivators of the same realm was not only because of their outstanding talents, but also because of their teamwork in the past.
In comparison, the Six Ferocious Beasts of the North Sea had been wary of each other since the beginning.
When Zhang Dongyun saw this, he couldn't help but sigh.
However, he suddenly remembered something when he mentioned this.
"Huijing, do something for me."
Zhang Dongyun projected Mr Dark Cloud and sent a message to Monk Hui Jing.
…
News of the Supreme Purity Palace's collapse quickly spread throughout the Central Plains.
"Sword Demon" Su Po's cultivation had reached another level. He had reached the peak of the Martial Emperor Realm, shocking the world.
In comparison, the news that the Qian Emperor Song Jun had been keeping a low profile and had reached the 14th Realm a long time ago wasn't as shocking.
After all, Su Po was already famous when he was at the 13th Realm and was known as the top swordsman of the Central Plains.
Now that he had reached the 14th Realm, he challenged the Supreme Purity Palace alone and forced Sect Master Peng Ziling, who was also at the 14th Realm, to flee.
When the news spread, everyone's imaginations ran wild.
Everyone in the Great Qian Dynasty was in a heavy mood.
After Su Po challenged the Supreme Purity Palace, he didn't immediately come to the Great Qian Dynasty.
The 12 Kings of Chang 'an seemed to be in no hurry, but they were steadily devouring the entire Central Plains.
As one of the three remaining Empires of the Central Plains, the Great Qian Dynasty was destined to not be spared.
Compared to Peng Ziling escaping with the Supreme Purity Palace, the situation in the Great Qian Dynasty was more complicated.
Everyone had a family to feed and countless in-laws.
Not everyone could just wash their hands and walk away.
However, such rumors that would be criticized as shaking the foundations of the country were now spreading in the Great Qian Dynasty's capital, Kunyang City. It was even becoming more and more intense.
The 12 Kings of Hell were domineering in the past, but they couldn't be bothered with worldly matters and didn't try to fight for the throne.
However, this time, Chang 'an City was clearly engulfing everything.
Lou Ning's Yin Dynasty could surrender without any psychological burden. Apart from Lou Ning himself, it was also because no one in the Yin Dynasty had any grudges with the 12 Kings of Hell.
As for Emperor Song Jun himself, he had participated in the siege of the Immortals.
There was no room for negotiation between the two sides.
The Great Qian Dynasty didn't even have the ability to surrender.
As the current ruler of the Great Qian Dynasty, Emperor Song Jun was very calm.
However, he did not forcefully suppress the rumor that the capital had been moved away.
All of this seemed to indicate that the Gan Emperor really did have such intentions.
Allowing the rumors to spread was also a way of showing his attitude.
However, while Song Jun could sit still, someone couldn't.
"May I ask if Your Majesty has the intention to hunt outside?"
A young scholar that looked to be around 30 years of age bowed to the Qian Emperor, Song Jun, who sat on the throne.
Song Jun looked at him calmly. "What is it, Mr. Shen?"
The scholar in front of him was the former Peak Master of the Nine Peaks Academy's Seventh Peak, Shen Yuan.
Apart from Shen Tianxian, he was the other Realm Four Confucian Grandmaster of the Shen Family.
Previously, when the Nine Peaks Academy was destroyed, he followed Shen Tianxian's orders and escaped.
After a while, he secretly came to the Great Qian Dynasty and received Song Jun's protection. His whereabouts were hidden, and very few people knew about it.
He had always hoped to take revenge for the Shen Family and the Nine Peaks Academy.
However, Chang 'an's influence was getting stronger and stronger, which made him depressed.
"If Your Majesty is hunting outside, we will also travel to other places."
Shen Yuan bowed to Emperor Song Jun. "If Your Majesty has no intention of hunting outside, I will also stay in Kunyang."
Emperor Song Jun stared at him for a while and suddenly smiled. "Mr. Shen, you are overthinking. I think there are some rumors spreading in the city that disturbed your hearing, resulting in this misunderstanding."
Shen Yuan's eyes flashed. "Rumors …?"
"That's right, rumors."
Emperor Song Jun's smile disappeared. "I have already given the order to clean up the rumors and pursue the person who spread them."
Shen Yuan nodded, understanding that Emperor Song Jun was luring the snake out of its hole. "Since Your Majesty has been alerted, I believe the storm will die down soon. I will take my leave first."
"Mr. Shen, please go ahead."
Emperor Song Jun watched Shen Yuan leave with a gloomy face.
He vaguely felt that Shen Yuan seemed to be hiding some secret.
However, he didn't know what the secret was, and Chang 'an was pressuring him outside. Therefore, he didn't act rashly.
However, as a Fifth Level Martial Emperor, Song Jun's mind was sharper than others. He felt that Shen Yuan's secret was extremely important.
When the Nine Peaks Academy fought Chang 'an, Shen Tianxian didn't let Shen Yuan participate in the battle. Was it related to this?
Emperor Song Jun's eyes became sharp, and the desire in his heart grew stronger. He gradually felt that it was difficult to suppress.
However, he was still a little wary.
On one hand, it was the external pressure from Chang 'an and Northern Mang.
On the other hand, it was because the other party was not weak.
The person he was wary of was not Shen Yuan, but another person who had just arrived.
Shen Yuan returned to his secret residence.
After greeting a few members of the Shen Family and the academy's teachers and students, he went to the last room in the wing.
In the room, another scholar was writing with a brush.
Compared to Shen Yuan's gentleness and elegance, the scholar in the room was lethargic and listless.
Even the handwriting on the paper was messy and disorderly.
However, after Shen Yuan entered the room, he bowed first. "Brother Dongming."
The Peak Master of the Second Peak of the Nine Peaks Academy, Wang Che, Wang Dongming, was rumored to be the strongest cultivator of the Nine Peaks after Dean Shen Tianxian. It was said that he was young and had a bright future. One day, he would surpass Shen Tianxian.
However, Shen Yuan knew that the young scholar in front of him had already surpassed Shen Tianxian.
This person with a different surname was the strongest cultivator of the Nine Peaks Academy established by the Shen Family.
Although Shen Yuan was also at the Thirteenth Level, he knew that he was no match for Wang Che.
People often praised him as the Shen Family's top genius after Shen Herong.
However, he knew that the Confucian cultivation genius who was closest to Shen Herong was actually the young scholar in front of him who looked muddle-headed and prematurely aged.
At the same time, the other party was also the student that Shen Herong personally taught in the Sacred Evolution Mansion.
"What did Song Jun say?"
Wang Che saw Shen Yuan come in and nodded slightly. He put down the brush in his hand.
Shen Yuan replied, "It's a trap set by him to eliminate those who waver."
Wang Che looked up slightly and said after a moment, "From his hypocrisy of hiding his Fourteenth Level, he is a persevering person who knows when to yield and when to stand tall. He is not someone who will fight to the death to serve the country."
Shen Yuan took a deep breath. "Brother Dongming means that the people he really wants to scheme against … are us? He wants to trick us into being his shield? "
Wang Che shook his head slightly. "I'm not sure yet, but it's always good to be safe."
Shen Yuan nodded silently.
Wang Che glanced at the other party's chest. "How's the refining going?"
"It's just a little bit. There's still a long way to go." Shen Yuan sighed. "With your help, it's already much faster than before."
Wang Che said, "This is the source of disaster, but also the foundation of success. The key is still up to you."
Shen Yuan said, "It's a pity that I can't transfer it to you now. After I refine it a little more, I'll be able to control it better. Maybe I can separate it."
Wang Che shook his head. "It's from Shen Herong. Let's forget about it."
…
The Central Region went west and crossed the Huanghai Sea that was even farther than the Eastern Border. Gradually, they saw land again.
This place was called the Western Region.
A thousand years ago, a Buddhist monk crossed the Huanghai Sea from here and arrived at the Central Region. Finally, he built the Leiyin Temple and established the Buddhist lineage in the Central Region.
In the Western Region, there were also martial arts, Confucian, and other cultivators. However, there were many Buddhist temples, which were far more prosperous than the Central Region. On the contrary, Taoist cultivators were rarer.
However, today, a Taoist master came here.
He was Peng Ziling, the chief of the Tai Qing Palace who was at the peak of the Primordial Spirit of Taoism and had already cultivated the Fifth Level of Yang Spirit.
