This was what Xia Xuanji had written when Zhishou Tower was founded, and it had always been the purpose of Zhishou Tower —
Cultivators gathered great power, lived long lives, and were powerful. They had to fight for the survival and welfare of the human race.
The greater the power, the greater the responsibility.
However, it was unknown how many people would remember these words in their hearts and put them into practice.
Lu Qingshan took a deep breath and stepped over the archway, and walked with Dantai Qingrun to the first tall building inside the archway.
Seeing the two of them, the foreign affairs cultivator outside the tall building had already come to greet them.
After Dantai Qingrun took out the "Xiu Chun" token and expressed her intention, he took the initiative to lead the two of them into the tall building, and at the same time retreated to inform the high-level cultivators of the tower.
.....
Half a cup of tea later.
"My name is Lu Jianxing, how should I address the two of you?" As the Zhishou Tower's Guardian of the Southern Region, Lu Jianxing entered the hall.
"Greetings, Guardian Lu." Dantai Qingrun replied, and at the same time introduced herself, "Xiu Chun, Dantai Qingrun, as for this …"
When mentioning Lu Qingshan, Dantai Qingrun paused, and finally said, "Lu Qingshan."
She only introduced his name, and did not introduce his identity.
Because she did not know how to calculate Lu Qingshan's identity.
My subordinate?
Ha … Lu Qingshan was clearly the leader of the recent operations, how was he like a subordinate …
If he wasn't a subordinate, bringing Lu Qingshan here didn't seem to make sense.
So Dantai Qingrun secretly skipped the introduction of his identity.
A witty sword cultivator.
Lu Jianxing was deep in thought. As the Zhishou Tower's Guardian, he had a lot of information. Lu Qingshan was also a famous person, how could he not recognize him?
The reason why he asked this question was actually to inquire about the relationship between the two.
However, seeing that Dantai Qingrun did not answer, Guardian Lu did not ask more, and asked instead, "What are the two of you here to tell me? Or do you need my men to cooperate with you? "
Xiu Chun's position was transcendent, and there was no hierarchy between her and the other positions in Zhishou Building.
However, Lu Zhen was a cultivator of the seventh realm, while Dantai Qingrun was only a cultivator of the fifth realm. The difference in cultivation existed and could not be erased.
Therefore, Dantai Qingrun's attitude was very respectful. She handed over a jade slip and said, "Your Excellency Town Protector, Lu Qingshan and I have been secretly investigating the Southern Territory for the past few days. We've also discovered a Southern Territory branch hall in the Hades.
The operation went very smoothly. In addition, we obtained some precious information from the cultivators of the Hades. Combined with the gains from the previous secret investigation, we've organized this jade slip. Please take a look. "
Lu Zhenfu's eyebrows drooped slightly. With a thought, the jade slip instantly appeared in front of him.
He probed it with his divine sense. After a short while, Lu Zhen's expression changed slightly as he sat upright.
Within the jade slip were the locations of the 14 Palaces in the Hades of the Southern Territory!
"Is the information reliable? Is it a trap? It's not easy to pry open the mouths of the cultivators of the Hades. "Lu Zhen asked in succession.
Dantai Qingrun's eyes were like ripples of water. At this moment, she unconsciously glanced at Lu Qingshan — — It's not easy to pry open the mouths of the cultivators of the Hades, so they did not interrogate him. The information in the jade slip was completely written by Lu Qingshan himself, and he wrote it in front of her.
If it were not for the precedent of the Hades branch hall in Crane Town, even if it was her, at this moment, she would certainly feel a little guilty.
But now …
"Eighty percent." Dantai Qingrun said firmly without hesitation.
"Eighty percent …" Lu Zhen murmured.
Based on the habit of Zhishou Building's cultivators, eighty percent is actually equivalent to one hundred percent …
Shocking thunderbolt!
Although the jade slip did not contain the location of the Southern Hades main hall — — it's not that Lu Qingshan did not know, it's just that he did not know.
In the previous life, in the Shadow of the Hades version, although the humans won in the end, it was not a complete victory. They only hurt the Hades a little.
The location of the Southern Hades main hall was not revealed until the end of the version.
But no matter what, if these 14 Palaces could be eradicated in one fell swoop, the Southern Hades would be equivalent to a dead end, and would not be able to cause too much trouble anymore.
After all, the reason why the Hades could cause so much trouble was because of the manpower and intelligence spread all over the place, and not just the few "Lords" in the main hall.
"Wait a moment." Lu Xingjian's face turned serious. He took out a communication artifact and quickly informed the other higher-ups in the building.
This time, the waiting time was much longer.
After a long time.
One by one, the cultivators with deep and profound auras filed into the hall. Although no one deliberately exerted pressure, the invisible pressure still filled the entire hall.
Lu Qingshan and Dantai Qingrun, who were only at the Void Refinement stage, were like two huskies mixed in with a pack of wolves, but the two were still calm as usual.
They had their own bearing.
Do not fear the strong, do not bully the weak, this has always been the bearing that sword cultivators uphold.
"Mayor Lu, what's the matter that you need to gather all of us here for a meeting?" The head of the Southern Zhishou Building, Jin Yichuan, asked solemnly.
"Everyone, take a look at this jade slip first." Lu Xingjian calmly pushed the jade slip in his hand in front of the other great cultivators.
A moment later, the originally solemn atmosphere in the hall became heavier, and there were even a few heavy breathing sounds.
"It's the address of the 14 Palaces of the Hades?!" Everyone was dumbfounded, feeling their hearts beating fast.
Even before they came, they had guessed that something big must have happened, but they were still shocked at this moment.
"Where did you get this information from?" Jin Yichuan quickly asked with a calm expression.
Lu Xingjian told Jin Yichuan about Dantai Qingrun's identity and what she said.
"Xiu Chun …" Jin Yichuan's heart settled.
To be honest, when he first saw this information, his first thought was that this was a trap.
But the information came from Dantai Qingrun, so it was different.
Xiu Chun, as the most extraordinary position in the Zhishou Building, had extraordinary power. Hence, if one wanted to join, apart from having outstanding talent and ability, they had to go through a strict background check and even go through the Conscience Trap.
Only with such harsh conditions and layers of screening could they ensure that no traitors would appear in Xiu Chun.
Hence, even he did not have the slightest suspicion about the cultivators of Xiu Chun.
The Zhishou Building and the Hades had been enemies for a long time. With such information in front of them, and from a cultivator of Xiu Chun at that, no matter how surprised they were, they would treat it seriously and would not let it go easily.
In terms of strength, the Zhishou Building could undoubtedly crush the Hades. This was the difference between a local dragon and a snake that crossed the river.
The only reason why Hell had never left the rear was because Hell was well versed in the art of fighting behind enemy lines. They were adept at concealing themselves and keeping a low profile. Only once every few decades or centuries would they emerge to stir up trouble.
Betrayers were like a disease, like gangrene attached to the bones.
That was all.
Now that they had concrete information, why should they worry about the Hades not being destroyed?
"Let's discuss the specific plan of action." Jin Yichuan's gaze turned to Dantai Qingrun again.
The hidden meaning of these words was to dismiss Dantai Qingrun and Lu Qingshan.
Outsiders should not interfere with internal matters. The final plan of action, the mobilization of manpower, the time of attack, and so on should naturally be formulated by the higher-ups of the Zhishou Building in the Southern Region for hundreds of years. It had nothing to do with Dantai Qingrun.
"Eliminating evil and defending justice is what my generation wants." Dantai Qingrun was a reasonable person. However, before she left, she cupped her hands and said, "When the Tower Master is ready to start the operation to destroy the Hades, the two of us sincerely request to go with you."
This was actually Lu Qingshan's request, but it was also in line with Dantai Qingrun's intentions.
Strategizing behind the scenes was more like something a spirit cultivator would do.
Sword cultivators naturally liked to charge and break through enemy lines.
"Naturally," Jin Yichuan agreed. "The two of you go and rest for a while. When I have a decision, I will inform you."
Jin Yichuan agreed to their request without hesitation.
He also had no reason to refuse.
As a cultivator of Embroidery Spring, Dantai Qingrun had the right to move out with the Zhishou Building.
As for Lu Qingshan, the current number one of the younger generation of the Sword Sect, the strongest of the four realms. If such a person was willing to join the Zhishou Building's camp, who would reject him?
The Zhishou Building did not fight for power or profit. They only wanted to destroy the Hades. Therefore, the complicated conflict between the factions in the Da Xia Kingdom had nothing to do with them.
.....
After leaving the hall, Lu Qingshan felt a strong spirit reverberating in his chest.
This time, if they really destroyed the 14 state palaces of the Hades in one fell swoop, it would be an unprecedented and illustrious achievement.
Of course, it was also obvious that this would cause the entire human race to fall into great turmoil.
From then on, the plot that he was familiar with would definitely be a winding mountain road that would lead him to more than one's grandmother's house.
However … fear of change was never Lu Qingshan's mentality.
On the contrary, everything he did was to change the established plot.
Before coming to this world, the nine-day game plot had only reached the middle stage.
Lu Qingshan was not sure if the human race plot would have a perfect ending in the end.
However, based on what he saw with his own eyes, in the 10-year plot line, the human race in the game had suffered countless casualties, and the ground was littered with white bones.
Anyone with empathy would feel pity and sorrow when they saw the tragedies of the so-called "NPCs" of the human race in such a virtual game that was almost 100% virtual.
At the same time, they would feel helpless and regretful about their own inability to change the plot.
Not to mention, now that all of this had become a real world, the "NPCs" of the past had become real people with flesh and blood.
Lu Qingshan could not bear to see the tragedies repeat themselves.
This was also why when he first came to this world, his first thought was to make up for his regrets.
The regret of the human race was also everyone's regret.
…
Xianxia, Xianxia, without Xianxia, where would Xianxia come from?
It had been almost seven years since he came to this world in the last years of Chang 'an. At the end of the sixth year of Tianyuan …
He, Lu Qingshan, had officially drawn his sword against the Hades!
